“He Is no'. foal tat goueteUi ”
Modest and unassuming in his manners, he
was remarkably considerate of what was due
to oihers. and won the respect and esteem of all
with whom he associated. Ho endeared himself
to his friends by hit cheerful temper, his pgree-T
able manners, and many good qualities of head
and heart, while lie-' w»s respected by all on ac<
count of his high sense of honor and greaf man
tineas of deportment.
Dear brother, friend, kind, generous and cons

He shared with his comrades the glory and
dangers of .Seven Pines, Mechanicsville,
Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill, Harpers Ferry,
Sharpsburg and Fredericksburg, at which lat

cause of Southern independence.
As a soldier ho was faithful in the dis

superiors in rank. Asa Christian, hehad won
tho confidence of all his associates. Ho had
boon an orderly and exemplary member of
the Missionary Baptist Church for a number
of years at home, and, was only the more
deeply impressed with the importance of
Christianity upon entering the service, -ever
remembering-the injunction of the Savior,
“Be ye a so ready,” He wa? at all limes rea

I?ext Yankee Congress.
On the 4th of March next, the present
Yankee Congress ceases tQ exist. It has
but three weeks remaining to perfect the
vast iniquities, which it has inaugurated.—
Its successor will probably be of a different
nolitical complexion. NVe give below from
a Cincinnati paper the result so far as elec
tions have been held, and the probable re
sult in States yet to vote. This calculation
gives the anti-Radicals a small majority.—
The Radical majority will still continue in
the Senate. But divided Houses will'effect
little.
The new Congress, unless called together
by proclamation in extra session, will not
meet un til next December. U nless coerced
by some extraordinary emergency it is not
probable that Lincoln will desire the aid
and counsel of a Democratic Congress. We
may therefore presume that the policy and
measures of the present dominant faction
will have full sway during the current
year.

Richmond, Feb 19—TheN. Y. Herald of the
16ih says the Illinois Legislature fane pasat.d
strong revolutionary resolutions, chiefly made
up of violent denunciations of Lincoln’s admin
istration, of provisions for an armistice, and a
peace convention at Louisville. Similer resoiu-
Uons are pending in the Indisna Legislature.
President Davis’ Message excited much at
tention in England. The Post, Palmerston’s
organ, comments upon its ability, acknowledges
the right ot secession, and promises the recog.
muon of the South at a future day.
A Washington corresp indent of the Herald
says prominent republicans have been heard to
announce themselves in iavor ot peace upon
terms—(the dispatch does net aay upon wbat
terms. Something leftout by a careless telegraph
’operator.) _ Th® expression of such sentiments
created quite a commotion among politicians in
Washington. The report of the committee on
Territories shows that the Mormons are openly
inimical to the Government. The Indian Bureau'
has rechived information that the Sioux and
Pawnees have made a treaty of peace with the
Government. The Polish insurrection has been
suppressed. News from Mexico via fndianola
is, that the French are making bnt little pro
gress. — .
Charleston, Feb. 19.—The French war steam
er Milan arrived here to-day and now lies an

which broke her steampipe, disabling the
boat. Tbe Yankess at the time being wholly
unprepared for a light, and being unsjspi-
oious of danger, Burke jumped overboard
and swam ashore, 'ibe boat drifted to the
opposite shore, when her crew made their es
cape, except 18, nho.fell into onr hands.—
The crew subsequently got aboard the Yan
kee boat “Desoto,” and with 200 stolen ne
groes escaped. The Queen of the Wost iB
now in our possession, and will be towed to
a safe place for repairs. It is reported that
the. Yankee gnnboat Indianola has gone np to
reoapture her.
The coduot of Burke elicits the highest en
comiums. • Later intelligence says tre C. S.
steamer “Webb”, had captured the “Era,"
which was disabled in one wheel. The
Queen of the West is but slightly injured and
will soon be in fighting trim under Confeder
ate colors. We have positive information
that the Yankees burned the Desoto to pre
vent her falling into our hauds-

A few evenings ago, McPherson, our popu
lar Bookseller on Whitehall street, sent us an
advertisement, with instructions to put it in
the local colutfln and be certain to have it ap
pear next morning. The notice was oae of-
leriug a reward of $26 for the recovery of an
India rubber over-coat, stolen that Jay fro m
his 8tore,with evidence to convict the thief.
Yesterday Mr. McPherson informed us that
he had recovered the coat; also a number of
books which bad been stolen from his store,
and tha ttbe thief was also caught. The.thief’s
name is R. Cline, a member of Company B,
Au tin’s Sharpshooters, 13th Louisiana Reg
iment. He has been here a long time, first in
the hospital and then in the convalescent
camy, feigning sickness, all the while s|£i
goods from stoves and ejsewhirq, and selling
them no doubt extensively.
Tbe large reward dfu the means of discov
ering the coat and the thief. This soldier,
Cline; had sold it, with abont nine or ten
miscellaneous books, for $17, to James Coyne,
who. owns a small grocery and provision
store on Marrietta street. Coyne seeing the
reward, which would yield a large profit upon
the. , cost of the coat, informed McPherson
that he had the coat, and of whom he pur-,
chased it, receiving the promised reward.
Besides the coat and a considerable lot of
books which had been stolen from McPherfcon,
some books stolen from Richards and other
articles stolen elsewhere, and sold to Coyne
by Cline, were found in bis store. Coyne is
employed as a machinist in the State Road
Shop, and his store is attended to mostly by
his son, who is bnt a lad.
Cline was arrested, put in irons, and sent
to bis regiment, to be tried.
This is one more instance of tbe efficacy of
advertising. The ofler of the reward by Mc-
Bhcrson not only recovered the coat, but dis
covered the thief, of whom the oity is |now
happily rid.
