To cash on hand and takes.. mortal, and the unexpected news of. his death spread a gloom o^er his company equalled only by that grie& whioh the loan of such a son must hare earned around the hearthstone,which bis death left desolate. Upheld and sostiined by that heroic fortitude which he oxhib- * ited on: the battle field, be bore his sufferingu without a murmur; and seemed more concerned about the suffer ings of (hose wlo fell by bis side than his osm. While yet lying with his owu wounds undressed, upon being told that his Captain was also wounded, ho bunt into tears and said, “ What will become of tbe poor com pany flow ?” When death became inevitable he seemed resigned, and if he wished bis life preserved, it was only that he might again offer it upon the altar of his country. No murmur escaped his lips, and his death was a new illustration ef the old heroic maxim of the. Romans! “Iti it sweet and becoming to did for one’s country.” Snatched away in the bloom of youth, he leaves a fa ther and mother, brothers and sisters to mourn his loss at home. And far away in Virginia, his bereaved com rades mourn Ids loss not less deeply, but mure sternly r -—they will avenge his death. W. H. MITCHELL, Capt. Co. A, Uth '(la.
