No. 8. the Major-General Commanding announces with deep regret, to the troops of this Division, the death of Brig.-Gen. Robert L. McCook, who departed this life at twelve o'clock M. on the sixth inst., from wounds received from a party of guerrillas, who attacked him while proceeding in an ambulance en route from Athens, Ala., to this place.

McCook entered the volunteer service at the commencement of the rebellion, won a name for himself and command by his daring exploits in Western Virginia, and added greatly to his fame at the battle of Mill Spring, where he was severely wounded whilst conducting a charge with his gallant regiment. He was affable in his manners, and a courteous gentleman. A brave officer and congenial friend is lost to this division, and the country has been deprived of a General who was firm and devoted to its interests. Whilst we deplore his loss, let us be steady in our efforts to maintain such discipline as will insure to our arms a just retrib
