Died, on the 6th instant, at Port Lavaca, Texas, of dysentary and inflamation of th bowels, Major Moses Grant, of Covington, Ky. Major Grant was the son of Gen. Squire Grant, who served during the last war with England, and the nephew of Moses and Samuel Grant, who fell in the Indian war in the early settlement of Kentucky The deceased was 56 years old, a widower, but leaving several children to lament his unfortunate but honored death. He bore his sufferings, which were great, with heroic patience, and died amidst the universal regret of the Regiment of Ky Cavalry, for which he had acted as Commisary from Memphis. His cheerfulness, patience, blandness of manners, and the unchangeable spirit of accomodation which he manifested in the discharge of duties onerous and perplexing, endeared him in an uncommon degree to the whole camp. The Colonel of the Regiment, attended by the troops, paid the last honors at his funeral, and his friends at home may rest assured that he received every attention during his illness that was possible. The fine regiment with which he was connected, has suffered much from the march, the climate, and disease; worn and reduced, it commences its march for Comargo. Many of that portly band, who left Memphis with the glow of youth and enthusiasm on their cheek, and the vigor of manhood and courage in each limb, have returned weakened and wasted by disease, and not a few lie with the turf of the prairie for their last covering. Of those who have perished, not one has excited more commiseration or a deeper regret among the survivors, than Major Grant.
