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

OBITUARY.
Among the brave young men of Georgia who have
sealed their devotion to the cause of their bleeding
country, none deserves a higher place in the affections
of a generous people than Lieut. G. S. Bubsos of Wal
ton county, Ga., who was a member of Co. H. ilth-Ga.
VoU. Ha fell an the plains of Manassas, August 30th,
1862, while Bravely contending with the enemies of his
country, for the religious and political rights of a free,
people" bequeathed to us by our Revolutionary fathers.
Lieut. Bnrsoh was young, active and aec<nnpUshiod; w&3
respected and admired by all who knew him, a.nd-leaves
a father and mother and numerous friends to mourn his
untimely loss. " N.

the Eleventh Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, son of
E. N. Gower, Esq., of Gainesville.
Among the first to rally to his country’s-standard,
Lieut Gower brought to her service a mind and body
diligently trailed for military achievements and a heart
wholly (fevoted to her cause. When the present strug

I one of those most prominent in organising the company
of whioh he afterwards became so efficient an. officer;
and' when it was called into the field,-he-willingly went
when duty -and honor pointed the way. As-un officer,
htahigh-toned, Soldierly and gentlemanly bearing—his
uncomplaining subjection to discipline—biapunctuality
in fulfilling,every duty, regardless of personal ease and
comfort—won for him the respect and-admiration of ail
with whom he came itj,contact, while his kind and in
offensive disposition endeared, him beyond measure to
those who knew him best. He was a dutifcil son, a
