DEATH OF CAPT. JOHN H. DYSART. -- We announced last week the extreme illness, from an attack of typhoid fever, of Capt. John H. Dysart, at the Military Hospital in Louisville. On Saturday afternoon the sad intelligence reached this city, by telegraph, of his death that morning. Capt. D. (Dysart) commanded Company C of Col. Hambright's Regiment, and was considered one of the finest company officers in the Regiment. He organized the Union Guards, now commanded by Capt. Barton, and was Third Lieutenant in that crack corps, the Lancaster Fencibles at its organization. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him for his manly qualities and generous disposition, and his death will be extremely regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this city. We understand his remains will be brought home for interment in a day or two and all the military companies in the city will take part in the funeral obsequies."
