Death of Thomas M. Bondurant. Colonel Thomas M. Bondurant, of Buckingham, for many years Senator from that district, was killed a few days ago by a fall from his horse. He was a man of strong mind, untiring industry, and great energy of character. Since the year 1836 he has been the principal proprietor of the Richmond Whig, which paper was at that time twelve years old, having been first issued 27th January, 1824.

The first intimation Gen. McClellan had of his removal was the notification to that effect brought him by Gen. Buckingham. Gen. McClellan took formal leave of the different army corps last Monday. On Sunday night the officers assembled at his headquarters to bid him aided. The only toast offered by Gen. McClellan was this laconic one: "The army of the Potomac."
