Death of Lieut. Mangum.--We deeply regret to learn that Second-Lieut. Willie Preston Mangum, Company B of the Sixth North Carolina regiment, died on Tuesday of the injuries received in the late battle at Manassas. Lieutenant Mangum was a son of ex-Senator Willie P. Mangum, of North Carolina, and was a man of brilliant promise, and an officer of rare tact and ability.
He was only saved from instant death by a Bible in his pocket, which broke the force of the ball.--Richmond Whig.
