The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Saturday Morning July 19, 1862 Local Matters Resigned.-Among the recent resignations reported from the Adjutant-General's office we notice that of Capt. Lundy, of Muscatine county, well known to many of our citizens as the popular commander of Co. G, 2d Iowa cavalry. Lieut. Jos. W. Eystra, of Muscatine, and formerly of Rock Island, succeeds Capt. Lundy. Death of Chas. E. Richardson.-A dispatch received from St. Louis yesterday by Mr. Joshua Burr, announces the death in that city, on Thursday evening of Mr. Chas. E. Richardson, of Davenport. Mr. Richardson had been sick some time with camp diarrhoea, but had partially recovered, and had got as far as St. Louis on his way home, when he was stricken with death. Mr. Richardson came to this city in 1856, and has resided here ever since. On the organization of the Sixteenth regiment he accompanied Mr. Parker to the sutler's department of the regiment, with which he was connected at the time of his death. Mrs. Richardson received a letter from her husband a few days ago, stating that he was improving and would be home in a few days. Charlie Richardson had among our citizens a host of friends and not an enemy; the news of his death will fall upon them with sadness. Deaths of Iowa Soldiers.-On the 14th inst., S. M.
