Death of Colonel Hall.
By dispatch received from Mr. Alfred Adams of Cleveland, to whom Lieut. Osborn telegraphed, we learn that Col. A.S. Hall died of typhoid fever at Murfreesboro, on Friday evening last [July 10th].
A brother-in-law of Colonel Hall happened to be in town when news was received, and communicated the sad intelligence to his wife, who is now at the residence of the Colonel's father in Portage County.
Colonel Hall left this place on the 11th of June, 1861, as Captain of a company [Co. F] in the 24th Ohio Regiment, which for a long time did excellent service in Western Virginia. The regiment was
afterwards ordered to Tennessee, and took an active part in the battle of Shiloh, in which Colonel Hall received a severe wound.
When the additional regiments, under the 300,000 call, were organized in this state, Col. Hall was appointed Colonel of the 105th, which was immediately ordered into service without the ordinary preparations of drill and camp life. The state of affairs in Kentucky, at that time, rendered necessary all our available forces. At the battle of Perryville Colonel Hall commanded a brigade, which included the 105th, and was in the hottest of the fight.
At the battle of Milton, Colonel Hall, with his brigade, defeated Wheeler's superior forces, thereby adding to increasing popularity and, in all probability, had he lived he would soon have worn a star.
Of the particulars of his death we are not yet informed. Lieut. Osborn started with the body on Saturday and may arrive before we go to press.
The interment will probably take place at Charleston, Portage Co., and we trust his old friends of this place will turn out and pay the last tribute of respect to one who has proved himself worthy.
