-A privato letter yesterday, brought the painful ntelligcnce of the death of LieOt. Aaron C. Jowett, of tho Sixth Cavalry. He was shot in the neck and instantly killod in a cavalry engagement on Monday, the 6th inst. Licutenant Jewett was a resident of Ann Arbor, where bis parents yet reside. - They are overwhelmed with grief at the news of his untimely death. He was a young man of more thán ordinary talent and prctnise. He graduaUid at tho Univor'sity in 1862, ranking in every respect among the first in his class. Imbued with the purest patriotism, he gave up a fine opening in business and as a private entered the Sixth Cavalry, which was then being organized at Grand Eapids. His talents eminently fitted him for a commission. and his comrades were not long in onding, and he was promoted through the varioii8 grades to a Lieutenancy, nd finally to bu acting Adjutant of the regiment. Such rapid promotion is a-n indication of his extraordinary military tülenls. Had h.o lived he woukl undoubtedly havo risen rapidly to Iiigher, if not tho highest positions. His genial social qualitiüs made him a universal fovonte with all to whom ho waa knovvn. No braver soldier has fallen a victim to this grcat rebellion, nor one whosfi early death will be moro ly mourueu. -
