Death of A.J. McLemore--We find the following notice of the drowning of our late friend Andrew J. McLemore in the Richmond Examiner of the 11 inst.:
A young gentleman, named Andrew Jackson McLemore, from Tennessee, inspired with a patriotic desire to join the Confederate forces, either as a private or under commission, arrived in this city some two or three days last past, and, on last night, about half past seven o'clock, walked into the canal, and was drowned. A coroner's inquest was held, at which the jury returned the following verdict" "The deceased came to his death by accidental downing in the James River and Kanawha canal, near Eighth Street, in the city of Richmond" There is a brother of the deceased in a Tennessee company commanded by Capt. Bennet, at Manassas, to which place he was desirous of going, and, side by side with his brother, battle with his country's foes; but, alas! the wire's winged messenger wafted to his fond parents the melancholy tidings of his death and blighted hopes. His remains were cared for by his friends from his gallant State now in the city.
