Death Of A Citizen Soldier

It is with regret we announce the death of Newton Austin Haldeman, of this city, Sergeant of Co. C, 2d regiment.  He died of typhoid fever at Jefferson Barracks hospital, on Thursday last, 15th inst., aged 24 years.  Mr. Haldeman was an occasional correspondent of this paper and his letters were copied throughout the country.  A lengthy one furnished us after the battle at Fort Donelson, was pronounced by some of our cotemporaries, the best description published of that battle.  He was an excellent young man, a kind brother, and a dutiful son.  His remains were interred for the present at Jefferson Barracks.  His brother is in the army at the East, and as no word has been received from him for sometime his parents fear that he too is no longer among the living.
