FIRST TOTALL The Tragic Death of Colonel Ells worth, Shot by Jackson, at Alexan dria, JU Related by Captain Browu oil. VTho Killed the Rebel on the Spot. Twenty two years ago says the Cleve land Leader, a Con'e lerate flag floated in the warm breeze of a southern clime, over the Marshall-House, in Alexandria, Va., Yirgmia had seceded on the pre ceding day. Alexandria, which had been tilled with insurgents, had, on the morning of this the 24th of May, been placed under the whit: flag of truce un der an agreement with the commander of the gunboat Pawnee, that it should surrender at 0 o clock in the evening, but iti 11 that rebel bar-nerjiloated over the Mr. •hall House, an insult to every loyal citi jsen. Colonel Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth, of the New York Zouaves-, as brave a man and a.* noble a soldier as ever lived, tore down that confederate flag twenty two years ago to,.ay, and a lew months later the first union blood that had dyed southern soil was shed, Colonel Ells worth paying with his life for that one act of loyalty. Jackson, the proprietor of the Marshall lbiu.se, shot the noble Ellsworth down without one moment's warning. But Jackson met a death as midden, bis miserable body one moment later being pinned to the floor by the bayonet ot Captain Frank E Brownell, |»ho avenged the death or his young Commander before the blood w-s yet cold bis veins. Captain Brownell was in the city during the past week, and, at the request of a Leader reporter, gave a graphic account of the tragedy in which he played so prominent a part, which cannot but be read with interest by everyone on this the anmversary of the death of the first Union soldier killed on rebel soil. "It was at midnight on May 23, 1801, that we received our orders to go to Alexandria," said Caotain Brownell. "Our company, the Mew York Fire Zou aves, had been raised by Colonel Ells Worth from the tire department of New •York in less than two days after Presi dent Lincoln had issued his call for 75, 0(0 men. and four days after Fort Sum ter had capiti au--i and the Nation was throbbing in the first throes revolu tion. The regiment had left New York for Washington on April 29, after over coming much opposition from the civil •uthorities, who claimed that Colonel Ellsworth's regiment contained more men than the State law allowed. 1 had Just come down from Troy, and joined Colonel Ellsworth's zouaves out of m* -Confidence in the commanderand admi ration of his character. Colonel Ells worth's Fire Zouaves -Attracted much at tention on their arrival at Washington. Tliev were the first volunteers on the ground. A good manv militia organiz ations were already at the Capital, but Ellsworth's command was the first vol unteer regiment in the field which had Jiad no previous organization. Ells worth's command was quartered in the House of Representatives. There were Rome pretty hard characters among his Often, but no worse than among other regiments raised at the time. Some acts of lawlessness raised a storm •of indignation in the city and created a •prejudice against the whole regiment. Ellsworth ascertained the amount of damage that had been done and paid it out of his own pocket, but the feeling against the regiment was so strong that it was decided to move it out of the city. This was not done, however, until tho 'fcjuaves had recovered their prestige by their gallant servi e at the big fire at Willard's Hotel. "When it was whispered about head quarters that a movement was to be made on Alexandra, Colonel Ellsworth, between whom and President Lincoln a warm friendship mm existed for over a year, Ellsworth bavins been in Lincoln's law offi e and on the stump for him in that year, and having been one of the party that started with the President elect for Washington—Colonel Ells worth, I sav, wen: to President Lincoln dlsloval, and he wanted nothing to oc •eur that might incense them against the {government, but rather wished to so conduct the movement that it would win them over. The insurgents must be driven out of Alexandria or taken with out bloodshed if possible. The position of President Lincoln was fully under stood and appreciated by Colonel Ells- Wortli. He promised to be responsible •for his men if they were allowed the ad •vanee. is conference was of course •upknowu tothecommand. At 12o'clock »i» that n ght, May 23, 1S61. the men Were ordered into line and Colonel Ells worth made a short address to them, Which he closed with the wo-ds, 'W hen we reach the place of destination act like men, and do nothing to bringshame upon the regiment. Show the enemy that von are ni :-n as well a-* soldiers and that vou will treat them with kindness until"thev force vou to use violence. I want to kill them with kindness and no matter what may happen not a shot must be tired without proper orders'"' Before retiring that night Colonel Ells worth wrote the following touching let ter to his father and mother. A I.E'ITEB TO II1S PA HE NTS. Washington, D. C., May 23,1865. "Mv dear parents: The regiment ^or dered to move across the river to-night. "We have no means of knowing wiiat reception we will meet with, although 1 of The iv 'n'iir I'm' n*ir ent "ance to tested, aa I am just informed that a large A-of troop* arr ved heieto-day.

"Whatever may happen cherish the consolation of knowing i was en- jmH, GET THAT KI.AO .'i K SIOilT before the soldiers came up. You can readily imagine the effect the sight of that flag would have had upon his com pany. The men would have been so inflamed that Capt. Coyle would be un able to control them. Colonel Ells worth intended to quietly remove the flag, and prevent any violence that it might have caused. He had promised to be responsible for his men. He in tended to keep that promise, and to carry out President Lincoln's wish that there be no violence. No one was on the s'reet. No one was stirringabout the hotel. Col. Ellsworth went into the hotel, and we followed him. There waslur one personjvisible—the first man'we had yet met—and he stood behind the coun ter in the office. Ellsworth asked him for the proprietor. He replied in a sur ly manner "that lie was not about The whole party then went into the hall and started up the stairway to the attic. No body ottered to stop us, and nobody was to be seen to do so. When we reached tiie attic Ellsworth mounted a step-lad der leading to the roof, where the 'lag haivard came through the scuttle, and pulled in the o fie tiding bunting and threw it down the the ladder. We start ed down th-) stairs, which were old fashioned wooden zigzag ones, broken with landings betweeu each story. I was in advance. *T7p to this time everything had been so quiet, peaceful, and dead that none of us dreamed of violence. As I made the turn of the landing in the middle of the flight leading to the third floor. I saw a man standing on the floor below at the side of the stairs with the barrel of a double-barreled gun resting on the ban nister. He was a braa iiv looking fellow and was in his shirtsleeves. I saw as quick as a flash what that gun and that man meant. I was in Lis eye. "By the instinct of self-preservation rather than anything else, I jumped to the foot of the stairs at a bound. As I alighted beside him I struck down his gun with my own. Both pieces struck the bannistt together and both glanced downward until they slipped ofithe end of the bannister, where the guns sep arated. By this time Ellsworth had ap peared in *ight at the landing I had but just left. Without a word, and before I could recover my equilibrium, the man, who was J. CKSou. the proprietor of the house. HAISKf) I11S OCX AXD FIRED. The muzzle of his sho'gun was not more than three or four feet distant. 'Colonel Ellsworth, with the single exclamation 'My Ciod!' prwssetl his hand I cold, and the rain, hail and snow w on his breast, and fell dead at the foot of the stairway. The heavy charge of buckshot had pierced him just above the heart. "Iu the meantime I had jumped back, and just as Jackson raised his gun again, I tired upon him, hitting him iu the left eve.

'•Mv darling and ever loving parents, good bye! God bless, protect, and care for you!—Ej.mkk, •'At two o'clock in the morning of Ma\ 24 the boat containing the Ellsworth Fire Zouaves quietly diopped down the river. When we arrived oil* Alexandria a small boat shot out from the shadow of the gunboat Pawnee, and landed at the wharf simu.taneously with us. This boat ntabled anollieer bearing a white flag, and a hurried consultation was held between this oliicer and Colonel ELs worth. I have always understood that the colonel was informed that the town had either surrendered or had been placed under the tlag of truce or that the people had been given time to leave the city. We were the only Union troops there "at that time. We landed at the foot of Cameron street, and the reg iirent was formed on the wlutt l. olonel Ellsworth, in company with the chap lain of the regiment, Mr. Lodge: th3 correspondent of the New \ork Times, Mr. Windsor, and Mr. K. H. House, correspondent of the New York Tribune started up Cameron street to go to the telegraph oi!i v. At the suggestion of an oiheer they were accompanied by a guard of live men. I was one of the partv. It was broad day light after five o'clock—and not a soul in the town seemed to be stirring. We went up Cameron street two squares and turned to the left, down Royal street to King. As we turned the cor ner of King and Royal streets we came in full view of the Marshall House, on which a confederate flag was fluttering in the breeze. At sight of the rebel flag Ellsworth halted us. Turning to the 3-rgeant he said: Marshal go back and tell Capt. Coyle, of company A. to hurry iiis company up here as soon as -si ble.' Then" we all passed up the street for a short distance, Col, EJ'sworth and the newspaper men a little distance in advance. 1 suppose he was going to leave Capt. Coyle to take care of the flag when he came up with his company. If that was his intention he changed his mind, for he suddenly turned and went diagonally across the street to the Mar shall House. "I have no doubt he remembered the promise he had made to the President and desired to my shot, I sprang toward him, and derstand anything they said, or gain anv lit il I n W L» Hi n .1 Lu i*. o... .1 i •.. (*.. I ..i il It* a i with a quick thrust of the bayonet forced him to the floor. It was all done so quickly I had no time to think. As Jackson fell, it was with one convulsive grip upon the trigger and his other bar rel was discharged so close to my head that it seemed to paralyze me. Thecharge went into the wall just above my head. As the body of the dead rebel slipped from my bayonet it rolfed to the floor below. Jackson had never spoken a word from the first and died without a sign. The story that his body was mutilated after his death is false. By this time the en tire party had reached the scene. Great excitement ensued. People came rush ing fro in the rooms and the street. I ie!o ji!ed mv min and tin sipiad stood 1 in a tow, that we „„uti the Situation.

His reputation and that of his company depended upon the conduct of bis com pany that day.'' "How did .lackson happen to have his flag fb. ing when the city was under ail arm'slice'."' "I have since learned that Jackson, with tiis companions, hadeotdruuk the night before to celebrate tiie secession of Virginia, and that he had not lean ed that the city was under a flag of truce when he saw us. having been sleeping off the effects of the liquor he had im bibed. He was the man who said that if he could get hold of John Brown he would cut oil his ears." A Terrible Story ot Shipwreck. First OiTicor Humphreys has given the San Francisco Bulletin an account of the wreck of the American ship Oracle, which sailed from San Fmneis-.-o on Jan uary 1, 'v. She wass'.ru k by a hur ricane on March o, and was bufletted about for a day and a night, when land was discovered ci e at hand. The of ficer says: "Tiie ship sailed in between the land towering up hundreds of feet and into smooth water, but he then became un manageable on account of the edl_\ i,gj currents. The anchor was got ready, but no bottom could be got, and in a short tittle a large edge of M, k- was seen under our ice, with seas breaking heav- I ily. The ship truek with tremendous force, but remained only a few moments, and then drifted off into smooth water. Boats won- then made ready, uiHr-red, manned and provisioned and made fa«t to the ship, which continued to drift until he btruck a high ridge of land, Cast the .iead aud found four fathoms under the stem and fif teen fath.mi. under the stern. Steam i was made on the engine and Moth pumps started, but the water gained rapidly. The boats weie brought ahwigude and filled with provision.-, and we had only tune to slc ire a lew clothes when the vessel listed over and sunk entirely from i sight, sliding off into deep water. The boats then puled along the shore for some distance before a landing place could be found, as the land 'abrupt ly from the water,and in many places there were high ciitt-j. A little cave was found on the east side of the island, with sand beach and considerable surf, though which tiie provisions were safely landed. The (mats were securely moor ed. We then built a camp from a top sail saved on the side of the hill, and lav down to sleep that night, completely ex hausted in body and mind. 1 hs *r nn which poured down, leaked through the camp, wetting us. but we slept as sound ly as in a feather bed at home. From the time tne gale commenced to the time of the wreck was sixty-two hours, and forty-two hours a perfect hurricane. "Eight days of heavy weather were spent on the island before sun observa tion could be got to obtain a correct pos ition. During that time the boats were being ma te ready to leave. Our suffer ings were teirible, owing to the severe i it'll came down the greater part of the time, keeping all wet. The wood wassogreen that i' was almost impossible to make il burn. Expeditions were made by land and boats, but no signs of life *ere found except a few native men and women, clad only with a small skin aeros the shoulders. We could not in information, but they obliged us to keep watch night and day on the boats. All hands were on allowance of two hard biscuits per day, with a little tea saved from the ship, and missels, which were found on the rocks at low tide. Ourcor rect position was found to be east side of Hcr*cliel Ibie, one of the Ilermite group, eight miles north of Cape Horn. It was then decided to 6tart in the 'oni» boat to sea in hopes of beine picked up by some passing snip and so secure rescue for the remaining part of the I crew. On March 1 ft the long boat was I ready for sea, and the captain, first ofli cer, ami five aide men sailed from the island at o a. m., having decided to sail for Hie Falkland island* through the fctrait of Le Maire, 350 miles distant.

Ihe body of Ellsworth was taken to the hite House at Mr. Lincoln's request, where funeral services were performed. It was then conveyed to New orb and funeral services :epeated at the Astor House. When it was taken away the entire fire department escorted it to the steamer, bv which it went to Albany. There it lav in state at the capitol. Thence it went to Troy, where another funera! was held, at which the whole citv turnod nut. It vvus tinuily interred at Mechani.'sville, N. Y., the home of his parents." "Capt. Brownell, will you tell me why it Was that a larger guard was not taken along into the city of Alexandria?" asked the reporter. •'because the city was under a flag of truce, and no da: ger was apprehended bv unv one."

"Puring the day the sun would come out at times for a few moments, thei. heavy squalls of wiud and hail would sweep down the mountain gorges, seem ingly bent upon our destruction, and the men dare not try to sieeu, for te sleep was never to awake.
