Sudden Death.

--On Saturday last, a man was discovered seated on one of the penches near the East fountain of the Capitol Square, in a delirious and helpless condition.--Through the kindness of a gentleman passing by he was removed to his room at Bradford's hotel, on Franklin street, where he received all the attention which it was in his power to render himself and obtain from others in the house. The unfortunate stranger lingered in great agony till about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, when he breathed his last. In his pocket book were an exemption paper given him by the Medical Board of Fredericksburg, several U. S. postage notes, and the following, which may reach the eye of his family or friends, who might otherwise not know of his fate:

--Benjamin F. Roach — You will proceed to Richmond, attend to your and return and report to me at as soon as possible.

S. W. Conrin,
"Lt. C. S. Navy, in charge on
"Rappahannock river.
"Rredericksburg, October, 1863."
