T. STEVENS, Co. B. 17th Conn., was injured while felling trees for the encampment. He was sent to the hospital in Washington where he had a typhoid fever. He was afterwards sent to Fort Schuyler, where he obtained a pass to New York City for twenty-four hours to meet his wife. On his return he missed the boat and was therefore tardy in reporting. He was sent to the guard house where he took a cold, from which he never recovered. He died at Fort Schuyler, Feb. 1, 1863, leaving a wife to mourn over one of the most inconsolable hardships of a soldier's fate.
