Francis Munson, Esq., who went to Pittsburg Landing a short
time ago to present a stand of colors to the 51st Illinois Infantry, Col.
Cummings, returned this morning. He says
there is no doubt that the rebel General Sterling Price, of Missouri, was killed
as rumored a day or two ago. He fell
into an ambuscade of the 51st Illinois, who fired upon him, and he fell pierced
by forty balls. He was brought into the
federal camp, and identified by parties who knew him. – Chicago Journal.
