sissippi, Camp, Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., April 25, 1862. The major-general commanding announces with deep regret to the troops of this department the death of Maj. Gen. Charles F. Smith, who at 4 o'clock p. m. to-day departed this life at Savannah, on the Tennessee River. General Smith had been in the service of his country for more than forty years, and had passed through all the military grades from cadet to major-general. He had fought with distinction in nearly all the battles of Mexico, and by his gallantry and skill had gained imperishable laurels at the siege of Fort Donelson. He combined the qualities of a faithful officer, an excellent disciplinarian, an able commander, and a modest and courteous gentleman. In his death the Army has lost one of its brightest ornaments and the country a general whose place it will be difficult to supply. By command of Major-General Halleck: and. C. Kemper, Assistant Adjutant-General. headquarters, April 26, 1862. Governor Johnson
