In company with some gentlemen, going to Carthage from Nashville in Tennessee, on the 22nd December, a water course, commonly not more than six inches deep, had risen from an unusual quantity of rain, two of the gentlemen in company passed with some difficulty, but it is supposed MR. McCULLOCH'S horse in crossing fell, and MR. McCULLOCH was carried down by the current. He cried out for assistance, but it being dark, his companions could not go to his relief; and thus perished a deserving young man; who had but a few months before married at Halifax a young and beautiful woman, he had just before this fatal accident, taken to Tennessee, with the intention of settling. His body was found about an hour after and the next day was interred in the burial ground of MAJOR J. BAKER, 30 miles from Nashville.
