This city was evacuated on tne 13th inst. A
stubborn resistance was made at Spanish 1 oit,
but it was taken with a large part of'its garri
son. NVe lost 2,500 or 3,000 men. Genl. Forrest
has retired west of the Tombigbee river. The
tall of Mobile leaves us no other port on the
Gulf, or Atlantic Ocean.

During the past week a large number of the
parojed soldiers of General Lee's Army passed
through this place, they have bad a long and
arduous campaign of it-four years. We wish [
them, oue and all. a happy reunion with their
families and friends, and a respite from ti i ds and ;
troubles, which they have borne like men, yea. j
like heroes. God bless the boys.

General Wilson still bolds the city,
of a good deal of stealing going on. much
which is attributed to our own people
we are in-formed by officers who have spent sev*
oral days in the city, are quiet and well behaved.
They mingle with our own people on the streets,
• and talk freely together. The situation is truly
an unpleasant one for our people, and we should j
think it would he embarrassing to the enemy.
It would he a great lelief to the citizens it tlm :
. agreement entered into between Generals M.cr- '
man and Johnston, should require General Wil-
hou to retire a short Jistanoe Irom the city. We
have heard some say that the Yankee soldiers are
really a benefit to the city, in the way of guarding
property and ^forcing order. We look for a

coln at the hands of sonio desperate man. sau. to
be Wilkes Booth. The Herald is disposed to sad-
die the Confederacy with the act. hut tho officials
and people of the Confederacy had nothing more
to do with it than the Herald did. It was doubt
less the act of an individual who had suffered at
the hands of Mr. Lincoln, and might have como
from a citizen of theU. S. as readily as from a cit
izen of the Confederate States.
Mr. Seward, at last accounts, was improving
and no doubt was entertained as to his recovery

• A general failure.
For a week past the mails have failed almost,
every day. Since Macon fell we have been thrown
entirely upon our Augusta exchanges tor uen.s n j
the outside world. These have tailed to airire i ;
snd we are carried back a hundred years, so tar as
communication with other and distant places is
concerned. The failure of the Mails and the re- j
striction put upon us by the genera! tnue between
Gen's. Johnston and Sherman, reduces our facilities -
for making ft newspaper to current events in our
immediate vicinity. Having no tights, runaway
matches, or other accidents to report, m fact cur

that will put an end to th<- intensely uninteresting |
condition of affuirs now prevailing. 1»
than we are to be believed, before the roses
May shall wither in the fiery lap of June, peace
will cover the whole land, and this ciuti war he
over. * , , ,
With the earnest desire that some honorable
settlement may grow out of the negotiations now
pending, we shake the hand of the reader,

Now drop a parting tear.
Lightly those eyelids piess,

And now a siab to mark the spot
Where tlkousands strew the ground.
Now to the inarch ye brave
Yours is a toilsome way,
And ott def at or victory
1 lang on a moment’s stay.
How hushed the hour! the sighing breeze
Fans many a sleeper pale.
And many a sigh is borne away
Upon the midnight gale.
From those whose aching limbs recline
Upon the cold damp earth
To wife, or sister, children dear,
To her who gave thee birth,
But naught disturbs one hero now’,
No visions steeped in woe,
No yearnings for loves last caress
His pulseless heart may know.
lie may not there repose,
borne verdant spot prepare,

We must not leave lain there.
Stern brows with hearts so soft,
As heart in woman’s breast;
Again in silence now advance
To hear him to his rest,
Methinks I see those forms :
The warlike true and brave:
With inauy a thought unspoken
Again surround his grave.
Quick to your work brave men !
* The toe is thundering near !
A tribute brave, a sigh, a prayer
Another parting tear.
Summer with her glorious train
Her zephyrs, songs aud ilowers, *
Her,hand to autumn now has given
To mark the golden hours.
The drear cold months have come and gone
Mild spiing resumes hdt reign,
With throbbing heart beside his form,
Silent we stand again.
Whom see I now, he still my heart;
A mother’s form I tiace,
Be still awhile and contemplate,
The noblest of her race.
•Stand hack ye mounters! turn away '
Uriel such as her’s is calm:
A!.! well J know, for such a wound,
There is no earthly halm.
Leave her alone and let her muse,
in silence with her dead:
The hour—the place to her he given.
Let not a word he said.
Now softly—tenderly yo friends,
The grave’s deep silence break ,
Gently the cold damp mould remove, ,
Alt' gently for her sake.
Mother, arouse thee! it is done,
Now hear him hence away,
Beneath 1.is own bright native sky,
Thy cherished darling lay.
And now fond sorrovv’ng heart he calm,
The long—long way is past,
Beside his honored ancestry,
Thy 11 ubert sleeps at last.
Yonr garlands bring! they tell of hopes,
finished i.t tlieir ope’tig bloom,
They tell of hopes and joys renewed,
Bevond this new made tomb,
A fragrant, wreath me thinks I see,
Fresh with the dews of eve'n,
