For the Epson Pilot. THE DYiNG SOLDIER. !] BY LEOLA. ’Twas Autumn. The quiet breeze Swept o’er his fevered brow, It told of visions beautiful. That lingered near him how. Os childhood’s home, its flowery vales, Os all the heart holds dear, His only sisters loving stnile, His mother’s parting tear. Again he wandered o’er the hills, In wayward, childish glee. Again he breathes the simple prayer, Upon his mother’s knee. Then after he hears the clarion shrill-, With manhood’s valiant pride, And hastens to the hallowed field. Where Washington had died. i • ; ’ % ■/ * Nk In dreams arose dark Lair el Hills, With all the sufferings tl ere, When famished beings gazed upon Each other in despair. E’eu then Hope swelled within the heart, And uroed his spirit on, A soldier's toil, and death are naught If Liberty is Won ! .. But hark! he moves, the visions fade, The dark eye brighter grown, More beautiful, like summer skies Os evening, at its close. Kind strangers gather near his couch. To hear the last faint word, And oh ! a scene more touching ne’er The fount of feeling stirred. Waiting, dreading death’s dark valley, No fond mother kneeling by, Far away from home and kindred, Oh, ’twas hard, ’twas hard to die ! But the trusting soldier humbly Pressed his lip unto the rod: “Tell my mother that her daring Was a faithful child of God.” Above his brow had ever gleamed, In the battle’s fierce army. A Flag, wi) oso brightly shining stars, Pointed out the bet;or way. < Then the noble bov triwnphan*. ’ J • a (Tho’ hispul.se was sinking fast,) o Grasped bis Country's holy standard, Waved it tlirice—and life was past 1 i Past forever ! and the moonlight Fell more gentle o’er his head. Lighting that sacred banner Held so firmly by the dead. A Hero’s death I A child of God! Mother, const thou a: k for more 1 A soidier bright to >erve in Hr a re*, Guard its porta's evermore ! Upson comity, Ga. £RisccUancous. How the Yankee Stand the Climate of South Carolina. A Yankee Correspondent, writing from Port Royal, December 14, gives following account of the effect which the climate of South Carolina has had upon the hehlth of Lincoln’s minions, who have recently desecrated the soil of that State : The sanitary condition of the troops has assumed a special interest inconnection with the proposed building of a temporary general hospital for the divisions. A New York paper ot November 29 is before me, in which it said that the troops at Port Royal are in good health and spirits. Sim ilar statements I understand have been generally made and believed. Now for the facts. Ninety eight soldiers have died since the expedition left Annapolis, October 21*; eighty-four since it landed at Port Royal, Novfirriher 7. The whole number, of sick ’ from its arrival to the end of November, exclusive erf the Eight Michigan, was 4,- -82. Ot tli is number there remain J at the end of that month 6*34 requiring ho.-- ! pital treatment. The-English Michigan, out included in the above, because its re* turns have been sent back for correction, suffered more than anv other regiment, and would swell the total sick to nearly 5,000, The relurnes f r December are not made up. More than 300 patients are now the hospital ; a still larger number re quiring hos pital treatment are left in quar ters for want hospital tents, and the sick i list daily enlarges. The division was landed at Port Royal b< - fore the frost had destroyed the daily growth of marsh and swam, and malaria fell with its most fatal effect on the ex hausted systems of soldiers who have been obliged to work in the water, go in their tents at night wet, chilled, and tired, with I no sharge of clots or means of warmth. ; The fatal diseases have been, with the ex ceptions of small pox and typhoid fever, almost entirely those incident to the cli mate, and caused in the climate by over i work and exposure, especially in the water, j These diseases are ‘ooges ive and remit tent fever, acute dysentary, aud malari ous nenmonia, all of the most malignant i and dagerous type. —Six cases small pox have resulted fatally, everyone of which would have been saved by proper hospital accommodation. Eighteen coses are now j in hospital, some of which will be fatal for i the same reason. The sudden charge of weather and fall in the # temperature, Dec, 3. followed Ly ; instantincreas in the number of death. That night three men were literally frozen to death ; two ens sos smallpox and of congestive fever, all in a fare way of recov ery, hut unable to lesisfc the cold against i whic there was no protection. The almost i equally sudden charge of last Wednesday ; night haonght with a great increase of suflerd to all ihe sick, and two other men in with the congestive fever, who would otherwise have recovered, were killed bv the cold. I have for ahese statemenrs the outhor ity of one ox the ablest surgeons attached to the division, who said to me that ho would risk his profcssonal reputation ou tlie accuracy of the assertion. The Yankee papers are publishing the following and seem to be hugely tickled i over it : A REAL FUGITIVE ADVERTISE* IREXT* One of the Beaufort negros advertizes | his runaway master in the following clever : traces tie : SSOO Reward. —Rund away from me ! on de 7th of dis month, my massa Julian | Rhett. Massa Rhett am five feetleven j inches hi, big shoulders, brack bar, curly ! shaggy whiskers, low forehead, an* dark | face. He make big fuss, when he go'mong ; gemmen, he talk var big, and use name of ;de Lord all the time. Calls heself “Sud | dern gemmen, but I suppose will try dow to pass heself off as a brack man or mu latto,—Massa Rhett has a deep scar on his shonlder from a fight, scratch’cross de left eye, made by my Dianah when he tried to whip her. He neber look people in de face. I mor den speck he will make track for Bergen kountv, in de furrin land of Jersey whar I'magin he hah a few friends. I will gib four hundred dollars for him if alive, an’five hundred if any body show him dead. If he come back to his kind niggers without much trouble dis chilo j w iH receive him lubbiny.
