DANIEL WEBBER

DEAD. - Another noble, heroic youth has given his life for his country, has 
fallen a martyr in the cause of Constitutional Liberty.  We refer to the 
death of Daniel Webber, of Capt. Huff's company, 184th Regt. P. V., who was 
wounded in the right arm in one of  battles before Richmond.  After being 
taken to a field hospital near Washington he was attacked with chronic 
diarrhea, and not succeeding in getting it checked in the first stages, he 
was soon confined to his bed.  It was then deemed best, by his friends, to 
bring him home, and he was brought up on Saturday week.  But the disease had 
done its work and at noon on Monday last, he slept the sleep that knows no 
waking.  The deceased was about 21 years of age.  He left us but four shorts 
months since in the bloom of health, now he is numbered with the dead. - He 
was esteemed for his social qualities and will be long remembered by his 
associates.
