Dead.

--Three of the Southern volunteers recently arrived here died yesterday. Their names are given below. Dulce et decorum est propatria mori, yet the loss of so many ‘"good men and true"’ is not the least evil that human wickedness in high places has brought on our fatherland.

George H. Snoddy, a member of the 20th Regiment Virginia Volunteers, died in this city yesterday, at the house of Mr. Edward Wilson. Deceased was a native of Buckingham county, aged about 40 years. His death was caused by exposure at Rich Mountain.--The body was sent up the canal by the packet last evening, to be interred in the family burying ground.

Died, also, yesterday, at the Hospital on Church Hill, of wounds received in the recent battle, Wm. R. Howell, a native of Gates county, N. C., a soldier in the 8th Regiment of N. C. State troops.

Died, also, yesterday, at the St. Charles Hotel, T. J. Thompson, of the 13th Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers, of wounds received in the late engagement.
