 EDWIN T., an officer of U. S. Volunteers, and 

 Secretary of Legation to Chili, died at Santiago, 

 Chili. lie was a native of New Jersey, and en- 

 tered the United States service at the com- 

 mencement of the war, as a captain in the 

 Second New York Light Cavalryi By dis- 

 tinguished gallantry he rose to the command of 

 his regiment, and ultimately to the responsible 

 post of chief-of- staff in General Kilpatrick's 

 cavalry division. In 1863 he was asso> 

 with Colonel Dahlgren in command of the 

 force which was sent to enter Richmond from 

 the south, and had his horse killed under him 

 by tho same volley which terminated Dahl- 

 gren's life. Being taken prisoner, he 

 confined for several months in one of the 

 dark, underground cells in Libby Prison, where 

 deprivation of food, light, and warmth, com- 

 pletely broke down his onco vigorous constitu- 

 tion. From Libby Prison he was sent to other 

 prisons in South Carolina and Georgia; but at 

 length, afur eighteen months, he obtained his 

 liberty and returned home, bereft of health 

 and Mrviigth. General Cooko accepted the 

 position of secretary to the Chili.m legation, in 

 the hope that the salubrious climate of that 

 republic might renovate his constitution, hut 

 the hope proved delusive. Gradually he sank 

 into a decline, and after a year of constant ill- 

 ness and growing debility, was relieved by 

 death.
