A., who was killed on Sunday at the Heights on the Hagerstown road, was born in Virginia in 1825, and was consequently 37 years of age at the time of his death. He was a graduate of West Point of the class of 1846, in which year he was commissioned as bravot Second Lieutenant of Ordnance. In the Mexican war he was greatly distinguwept like a child. No eye was dry among those present, and many a silent and spoken resolution was made that moment, that Reno's death should be amply avenged — Thus died one of the bravest Generals that was in the service of his country; one of the man whom all respected and loved. The country can ill afford to lose at this trying hour such men as Kearney Stevens and Reno. Apprehensions of the Merrimac no. 2.

He was for a time on the Coast Survey; then on topographical duty in the West; for a year engaged in building a military road from Big Sioux river to St. Paul. Minn. From 1854 to 1857 he was stationed at Frankfort Arsenal, near Philadelphia. He was afterward Chief Ordnance officer to Gen. A. S. Johnston in the Utah expedition, and remained there till 1859, when he was detached and sent to Mount Vernon Arsenal Alabama. He was afterward stationed at Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was when the war broke out. He was killed about 7 o'clock Sunday evening, and the following account of his death is thus given in a letter to the N. Y. Herald: He, with his staff, was standing a little back of the wood on a field, the rebel forces being directly in front. A body of his troops were just before him, and at this point the fire of the rebels was directed. A Minnie ball struck him an

Hardee, Leonidas Polk, and Kirby Smith. Each of these corps would number about 15,000 men if the regiments were full; but it is not probable, that, of this whole army, 40,000 effective infantry can be brought into action. The cavalry force of the two corps under Hardee and Polk is estimated at 5,000 and it is known that they have each three batteries of light artillery, and several pieces of heavy guns.
