August 29, 1862
 
Died
   At Richmond, Va., July 14, 1862, Mr. John McLeod, of Kershaw District, S. C., in the 48th year of his age.
   The deceased had gone to Richmond to visit his sons, who were in the army near that place, and, on his arrival, in the taking his trunk from the car, it being night, the car was pressed back at an unexpected moment, and he was caught between them, and so mutilated, that he survived but a few hours. Before he died, however, he requested Mr. Harman Arrants, who had accompanied him, to bring his remains back, which he did. *****
