Colonel Ells worth, then but twenty-four years of age, was dispatched with a company of fire rouaves to capture the telegraph station and stop the information that was leaking out at this point. They descended from Washington in transport steamers down the Potomac in the night and arriviog at the wharf, started on a run for the tele. graph station. In passing down King street the Marshall House was seen to be flying the Confederate flag from the roof and immediately Ellsworth ascending the nearest stairway lore it down and as he was descending was shot through the heart by the proprietor, named Jackson. Francis E. Brownell, a young man who followed his leader, in turn shot Jackson | and thrust his sabre through the body with such force as to throw it to the bo. Ellsworth was carried tinct and there the body of the young blood and purified from the baseness of its meaning, lay at the young heroe's feet, The sad occurrence was secretly kept from the rest of the fire zouayes for sever. al bours, and until the body was removed, for it was feared if the fact became gen. erally known that their loved leader had been murdered they would have wrought vengeance on the city in short order.
