Brig. Gen. E. D. Tract killed.

--The Macon Telegraph, of the 2d inst., publishes a dispatch, dated Port Gibson, Miss, 1st inst., announcing that Brig.-Gen. E. D. Tracy has fallen in battle. The Telegraph says:

‘ Gen. Tracy was a native of Macon, and brother of the gallant Major Pull. Tracy, who poured out his life blood in the fight of Sharpsburg Gen. Tracy was only about twenty eight years of age. The out breaking of the war found his comfortably located in Huntsville, Ala., with a large and incentive legal practice, an accomplished wife and a young family. Few men of his years had fairer wordily prospects. He at once entered the service, we think, as captain, and by his intelligence, energy, and courage, re rapidly to the distinguished military position he held when he fell. He was a man of most exemplary character of decided piety and universally respected and loved wherever known.
