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.” L. February 3rd, 1802. 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 land River, he lias saved it from the ablest Generals and overwhelming ar my of the enemy. While they were confident of “bagging” this li l tie army, it is ready yet to save East Tennessee, and to “bag” any force venturesome ehough to invade. Voia'nteer. 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. * * Funeral Obsequies of Gen.

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.”
