Leopold von Gilsa

      Death of General Leopold von Gilza.
       Colonel LEOPOLD VON GILZA, Acting
Brigadier-General and Major-General during the
late war, expired yesterday morning at an early
hour, at his residence, No. 226 East Twenty-first-
street. He was born at Erfurt Aug. 15, 1824, his
father being Captain the Baron VON GILZA, a
prominent officer in the Prussian army. In his
17th year his son had gained his epaulets in the
same service. During the Schleswig-Holstein
rebellion, in 1848, he commanded the vanguard
with considerable distinction, and was decorated
on the field for his gallant conduct. He also
did good service during the Polish insurrection.
In the Spring of 1861 he organized the De Kalb 
Regiment in this City, which he commanded un-
til the expiration of its term of service. He
was a thorough disciplinarian, and was almost
idolized by his men for his fairness and courage.
He was twice wounded in action. His health
was completely broken by his military ca-
reer in this country, the miasmas of Folly
Island, South Carolina, having induced great de-
bility, which was aggravated by a dropsical at-
tack which set in a month ago.
 The funeral will take place from his residence
to-morrow, at 2 o'clock, at which the Fifth Regi-
ment will probably assist, as also Colonel
GLANZ, of Pennsylvania.
