At a meeting of the Lyman Hall Society, ••'few evenings since, being informed of the melancholy accident which caused the death of our late active and beloved fellow member Lieut. William H. Ndlson, who at the time of hisjdeath, was an officer In the Georgia Army, s committee was appointed to draw up resolutions expressive of the f‘cling on lhe Society on this sad and painful event. It has pleased Almighty God, in the dispensation of his all wise and ever just decree, to remove from the stage of nc rtion our much beloved friend and brother 'William H. Nelson who was previous to his promotion in the Georgia Army, an active member of this society. We have lost—ever lost him. We knew him well—knew him intimately andean speak of him knowing and feeling the truth of what we write. He ■was a young man full of promise for a brill iant future/full of hope and noble aspirations, •possessing a heart responsive to nil the no bler impulses of our nature. He had already though but a youth become a supporter of his country, an honor to his family and a blessing to his race. And while we cannot change the inevitable will of our Heavenly Father, we submit to his decree and mourn, not as those who have no hope, but hoping that our loss is his eternal gain. Therefore.—We the members of this Society pass the following resolutions. Be it resolved.— That we deeply deplore the demise of our friend, thus suddenly call ed from the bright and flowery field of youth ful life, who while among us endeared him eelt to all who knew him by the rectitude of his conduct, the amiablenessofhisdisposition,. the kindness of his heart,his faith Ail attention to duty and the untiring perseverance and in dustry which characterised his academic life. Resolved, As a Society we mourn the loss of one of whom we were proud as a member ; and as individuals the death of a firm and estimable friend. Resolved, The memory of his many virtues, of his faithful and conscientious discharge of every duty, of his untiring zeal as a member of our association and as a student, combined with all those qualities of mind and heart which exalted him in the estimation of (vis fellow students, is sacredly embalmed within our hearts. Resolved, That we since;ely condole with his bereaved family, relations and friends, and tender them our heart-felt sympathy in their distress. Resolved, That a copy of the preamble and resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and to the Editors of the Mari etta Advocate and Savannah Morning News with the request to publish, and in remem branee of the services rendered this associ ation and our high appreciation of bis char acter a page in the minute Book of the soci ety be dedicated to his memory, whereupon shall be inscribed the above preamble and •solutions and the date of his death. T. S. Mover, ) G. M. Blount, > Committee. J. S. Cone. j Twa Enfield and Minib Rifle.—The En- Aekl derives its name from the place where it is made, namely, the government armory at Enfield, Eng., and it is in most respects Tike the American army rifle made at Springfield, Mass. The Mime derives its name from Lieuten ant Minie, of tho French Infantry, who first applied the hollow expanding bullet to tho ar my rifle, and by whose exertions it was fisrt brought into actual army use.— Boston Bullet ton; ■aCXXJES wrAYtIET"T‘A XKTKSiIESXSCJL.

A. Rust, A. 11. Gar land, W. W. Watkins, and 11. !•'. Thompson. The latter will be here to-morrow, Washington. May 18.—The Diplomatic Corps here are anxiously watching the course of political events on this Continent, and it is said that France has an agent travelling through the South. The expenses of the United States War De partment are enormous and fears are now ari sing of the ability of the Government to raise means for carrying on the war. The Federal troops arc becoming ttiutinous bad fare being Assigned as the reason. The Seventh Regiment on Friday night last; had a mock funeral over their“ junk salt beef. Washington, May 18.—Daniel E. Sickles, of N. Y., has been made a Major General. New York, May 18.—The N.Y. Tribune is becoming alarmed at tho present state of as fairs. It says that Virginia is full of froops all armed and equiped. Montgomery, May 17.—Congress passed a number of bills to-day arganizing the Patent Office, regulating the sale of prizes, regula ting telegraph wires, and authorizing the is sue of bonds to the amount of fifty millions of dollars, payable in twenty years, interest not to exceed eight per centum; or in lieu of 'bonds issue twenty milions in Treasury notes, in small sums without interest. Baltimore, May 18.—Ross Winans was not liberated unconditionally but on parols of honor not to act openly or covertly against the Federal government. Travel is open to all points now north and west of Washington. St. Lovis, May 17.—Thirteen Union fami lies have arrived at St. Louis, having been driven from their homes on the Pacific Rail road. Gen. Price orders the milita to orga nize immediately, to march under the flag of Missouri. Boston, May 17.—Ex-President Pierce is out in favor of a peaceful eeparation. fiSY* Major Robert Anderson has made it a point at every stopping place at the North to complain of our “inhuman treatment” in firing on Sumter after the barracks were envelopedin flames. Did anybody prevent him pulling down his dirty stripes? And why is it that he has not told “ the Northern people ” that he had a 10 inch Columbiad planted on the parade ground at Fort Sumter, at an elevation sufficient to enable him to throw a 10-inch shell into the crowd of un armed citizens and helpless women, whom he knew full well would congregate at White Point Garden at the firing of the first gun ? This is not a rumor, the gun has been seen, the elevation and direction have been noticed; and by his own acknowledgement, and that of his officers, the guns in exposed places could not be worked without certainty of destruction ; so our mothers, wives and sisters have not been slaughtered, because OUR GUNS KEPT HIM IN HIS CASEMENTS. This is the brave man who was supplied with fresh meat, vegetables, &c., &c., and was thought by some to be a friend. [ Charleston Mercury. The Catholics and the Crisis.—The New York Freeman’s Journal contends that “ Cath olics have done nothing to bring on this war,” and urges them to speak out and call once more for counsels of peace. The Journal. alluding to the Tribune’s exhortation to have men to make a dash at the enemy in Virginia, Maryland, etc., thus pays its respects to that paper: “If this pestilent war is to degenerate into a barbarous raid on women, children, and defenceless villages, there will be two to the accursed contest. There is in Pennsylvania, Chambersburg, Mercersburg Gettysburg, Waynesburg, etc., etc., a good deal more ac cessible, from the border, than any town we know of in Virginia or Maryland. Could any but a new Englander, a non-resistant; a bran bread eater, and a lackey of Bloomer-women have indicted so infamous a paragraph? — We decline measuring words of denunciation in stigmatising its cowardly atrocity.” ZVlix.‘sic*sil Concert.
