Death of Ben McCulloch.--The rebel chief was struck by a Minie rifle-ball in his left breast, but lived several hours after. A letter from the camp says:

He died of his wounds about eleven o'clock the same night, though he insisted that he would recover — repeatedly saying, with great oaths, that he was not born to be killed by a Yankee.

A few minutes before he expired, his physician assured him he had but a very brief time to live. At this Ben looked up incredulously, and saying, “O hell!” turned away his head and never spoke after.

Lansing Republican, April 2.
