OIIITUARY.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord,”
Died, in Marietta on the 3rd Dec., 1861,
Sarah Caroline wife of Mr. John B. Bigger
staff and daughter of Bazzel and Etuily Low
rey.
She was born in Ilahersham County Ga,
on the 31st October 1835, embraced religion
at a prayer meeting in Cherokee Oa., in *B4B,
under the exhortations and prayers of her
father and joined the Methodist Episscopal
Church a short time afterwards.
Iler death was sudden and unexpected and
under circumstances peculiarly trying. She
was married on the 3rd April 1861 with every
prospect of happiness in this new and tender
relationship. But whe : the Heavenly bride
groom came and the cry to go forth and meet
him, fell upon her ear. she heard the sum
mons with joy and with her lamp of Chris
tian profession kept trimmed and burning
she departed to ba forever with the Lord.
During her short illness she manifested an
unshaken confidence in Christ, as her Saviour,
and a sweet peace and j»y in believing. She
was anxious to depart and to be with him.—
She exhorted her friends who were present to
live for God, and to meet her in Heaven, and
expressed her deep solicitude for the conver
sion of those who were near and dear to her
and who were yet out of Christ, and having
taken an affectionate farewell of her beloved
husband and her sorrowing family, she
sweetly and softly “fell a sleep in Jesus.”
“Life’s duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit tiie ,
While heaven and earth combine to say
How blest the righteous when he dies.”

THE UNBROKEN SLUMBER,
Yes, I shall rest some coming day
When blossoms in the wind are daneng,"
And children in their mirt|iful play
Heed not the mournful crowd advancing,
Up through the long and busy street
They bear me to my last retreat.
Or else it matters not—may rave,
The storms and blasts of wintry weather,
Above the narrow new made grave
Where Care and 1 lie down together;
Enough, that I should know it not
Within that dark and narrow spot.
For I shall sleep! as sweet a sleep
As ever graced a child reposing.
Awaits ine in the cell so deep,
Where I my weary eyelids closing,
At length shall lay me down to rest
Heedless of clods above my breast.
A sleep! how deep will Le the rest,
Free from lifes turmoil mouring wildly,
That when is passed the earths unrest ;
I’ts bosom shall receive me mildly,
For not one dream of earth may come,
To break tfie sFowbers of that home.
Oh deep repose, Oh slumber blest,
Oh night of peace, no sform-no sarrows
No heavy stirring in iny breast;
To meet another weary morrow.
I shall heed neither night nor dawn,
But still with folded arms sleep on.
And yet me’thinks if steps of those
I’d known and loved on earth were round me
’Twould break the night of my repose,
Shiver the’icy cords that bound me,
Save that I know this cannot be,
For death disoxvns all sympathy.
Then mourn not friends when ye shall lay
The clods of earth above my ashes,
Think what a rest awaits my clay,
And smooth the mound with tearless lashes
Glad that the resting form within,
lias done with sorrow,care and sin.
Think that with me the strife is o’er,
Lifes stormy struggling battle ended,
Rejoice that I have gained that shore,
To which my faltering footsteps tended,
Breathe the blest hope above the sod,
And leave me to my rest and God.
Congressmen and “Army Worms.” —lt
is doubtless true, that the Provisional
Congress, in failing to repeal or sus
pend, for the war, its idle and obnox
ious revenue tariff is strengthening
some of the most gigantic monopolies
in the country, and directly feeding the
manufacturing harpies clustered about
.thitr-city. The paper mill here has di
vided, for three months’ profit, one hun
dred per centthe profits being four
times their capital* for the year ; the
woolen mill here m ule one hundred per
cent ; the cotton mills arc coining mon
ey, and the whiskey distilleries are ab
solutely unable"to calculate their eno;-
mous profits. Here, as everywhere
else, the manufacturers aid "army
wo ms” are exacting everything the
necessities of the countiy can pay, and
their interests have found in Congress
defenders and apologists strong enough
to repulse and defeat every attempt to
repeal or suspend the tariff and open
our ports to the trade of Europe.—liich
mond. .Examinee.
The T*m :s and the Paper Makers.—
The Trenton (N. J.) True American
says all the paper mills in this city
h ive suspended operations, simply be
cause they cannot get cash for the
mannf icturod article ; and at such times
as these, no reliance can be placed on
men’s promises to pay. Large sums of
money have a'.rea ly been 1 *st by our
paper makers by the failure of New
York houses, and they do not feel like
risking any more. We had four paper
mills in operation in this city, all a year
ago doing a very prosp<*r<>us business.
VOL. XIX—NO. 6.
B. Crltteuden.
A correspondent of the Louisville’
Courier, in giving w a description of the
battle of Fishing Creek says of Gen.
Crittenden.
Immediately on the announceinnt of
his death, Gen. Crittenden, in person,
rode up to the front of the fight, and
direc ed the movement of the day
with perfect coolness, in the very midst
of the fire of the enemy, and where sev
eral were killed around him. His
friends remonstrated against this reck
lessness, and entreated him tooccupy a
less exposed position, but he would not
leave the front, and sat on his horse
unmoved, except when a regiment
would fall back under the heavy lire of
snp-.*rior numbers, when he would in
person, under fire, speak to and rally
the men.
******
I have thus briefly sketched our army
movements for the last few days. Vic
tory does not gleam upon our banners,
and we may not receive the loud plaud
its wl.ich it brings, but in view of an
overwhelming force of the enemy, and
the absolute want of army supplies and
the distressing poverty of tlie-country it
must be conceded to General Critten
den, that in the bold and gallant attack
and masterly retreat he has displayed
the highest qualties of the military com
mander, and he deserves the admiration
of the country to which he has given his
services, and in whose cause at Fishing
Creek he so coolly exposed hislife. Given
a command most exposed and perilous,
on the Noitliqrn bank of the Cumber

The Mississippian’s Little Sweet
heart. —On the day after we heard of
the battle at Fishing Creek, when the
country was startled by exaggerated
rumors and by the matvcllous stories
of the fugitives from the scene of con
flict; while families were anxiously
awaiting tidings from the battle field
on which a brother or son may have
fallen, we heard a little girl, Effie ,
bright end beautiful as a May morning
with'ruddy cheeks and sparkling eyes,
inquire tremulously for a Mississip
pian of Walthall’s regiment. She
bhishingly asked a returned volunteer
whether he had seen John , a youth
belonging Captain ’s company.
The answer was “1 have not seen him
about town.” “Oh!” said tha little girl
“I knew he was not here—Mississip
pians don’t run—he told me they would
not.”
It may be well to state that most of
those who came hither, are members of
different cavalry companies who, hav
ing, like the artillerymen l , lost tlieir hor
ses, were ordered home. Their conduct
is justifiable of- course, and it seems
that popular sentiment which at one
time did suco gross injustice to Gen.
Crittenden is now taking a different di
rection. and would without cause or
justice, fasten the seal of oLloq>wy upon
all who came from the battle field.
Let all this be as it may, the Missis
sippians who lost half their number, in
the recent battle deserve the unbought
tribute of praise which came so jmstly
and eloquently from the lips of little
Effie.— Knoxville Register.

Ben. Wa a*, the chairman of ihoj >int
committee to inquire into the conduct of
the war, is teported to be very uneasy,
and not satisfied wilt the progress of
the war. He does not give a hint of
what passes in committee, but it is easy
to perceive that“ he is not a pleasant
frame of mind. In endeavoring to get
President Lincoln to look at omr nation
al trouLles in a sober mauner, the other
day he became discouraged!. Mr. Lin
coln laughed at him, or told a pleasant
story in reply to Wad’e'b bad pridic
tions (so the story goes) until the Ohio
Senator drew up stiffly with, “sir, you
are not a mile from Tophet, and you
arc riding a swift locomotive at that !”
“Indeed,” replied Mr. Lincoln ; “well,
there is one consolation—l shall not
have to part long from my Senatorial,
friends. You will be along by the next
train.”
