Important from the Seat of War.
Thu information received from the seat of
war since our last issue is so meagre in its de
tails tliat it is exceedingly difficult to arrive at
aqy direct conclusion as to the operations of the
contending forces. From the reiqarkable reti
cence that is observed, and the astonishing suc
cess which attends the efforts of the Govern
ment to w ithhold all intelligence of the move
ments of our forces, it is inferred that some
magnificent plans for the annihilation of the
Federal army are on the eve of execution, and
that a few days will demonstrate the wisdom
with which these plans have been devised, and
the spirit and vigor with which they have been
carried out.
It is asserted, on wliac ought to be regarded
as reliable authority, that our forces, in large
numbers, have gained the rear of the enemy,
and that on Saturday, and perhaps yesterday,
a bloody struggle was in progress on Bull Run,
in the immediate vicinity of the battle field of
the 21st July, ’til. Coupled with this state
ment is another, to the effect that other divis
ions of our army were pressing the enemy from
this side, and torcing him on in the direction
of our forces that have already been thrown
between him and Washington, These state
ments we believe to be entitled to fuller con
sideration than should be given to mere street
rumors, but we do not claim for them the sanc
tion of unquestionable authority. We give
them because we think them not at all impro
bable.
There are also reports of a heavy battle
on Friday, near Bristow’s Station, four miles
south of Manassas, between the division of
Gen. Ewell and the forces of the enemy, in
which it is said tliat our forces were twice dri
ven from their position, with severe loss, but
receiving reinforcements, finally drove the en
emy back, capturing several batteries and some
five thousand prisoners. Reports conflicts as
to the precise locality of this engagement, one
representing it at Bristow’s Station, and the
other near the Plains, on the Manassas Gap
road. If such a tight really took place, we
think it is more than likely the latter location

(Adjourned Session.
SENATE.
Fkidat, August 29, 1SC2.
The senate met at 12 o’clock, and was opened
with prayer by the Rev. Wm. B. Royal), ol
North Carolina
Mr. Dortch of N. C., introduced a bill to re
gulate the payment of the claims of deceased
soldiers, which was placed on the calender.
Mr. Sparrew reported a bill to “amend an act
establishing and organizing the army of the
Confederate States of America,’ the object of
which is to establish a Paymaster’s department
separate from the Quartermaster’s. Placed on
the calendar.
On motion of Mr. Sparrow, the bill “provi
ding for substitutes in certain cases, and detail
ing privates for police duty,” was taken up
from the calender.
Mr. Simms, of Ky., said that he was unwil
ling to legalize the substitute system as amen
ded, or as heretofore practiced. He thought
that if any system were to be adopted, the best
would be that adopted by the French Govern
ment, which established by law a certain price
to be paid by tbe party desiring a substitute in
to the Treasury, and furnished the substitute
itself. By this means the frauds practiced by
deserting substitutes, and the usury and villainy
practiced by substitute agents, would be obvi
ated.
Dortch, of North Carolina, moved to amend
the bill by striking out that portion restricting
the privilege of purchasing substitutes, where
farmers are concerned, to those who have not
less than fifty slaves. To pass this measure
would be to array the slaveholder against the
non-slaveholder, and thus encourage a feeling
of the most pernicious character.
Mr. Maxwall, of North Carolina, moved to
amend the amendment by striking out all of the
bill specifying the classes permitted to hire sub
slitutes.
Mr. Brown was opposed to both amendments.
By way of illustration of the evil of indiscrimi
nate substitution, he had ascertained that out
four hundred conscripts taken to the camp near
this city, one hundred and twenty had obtain
ed substitutes, and of these substitutes already
forty had deserted. The bill would not array
the non-slaveholder against the slaveholder, but
was designed to give to those owning a large
number of slaves the power to protect the pub
lic interests by keeping their staves in subjec
tion ; and at the same time gave the same op
portumty to the poor artizan to protect his own
and advance the public interests by following
his pursuit.
Mr. Sparrow, of La., and Mr. Barnwell, of S.
C., held similar views of the question, conten
ding that the object of the bill was not to array
classes against one another, but to abolish sub
stitutes from all classes except two, and those
two consisting of those persons whose exemp
tion was actually necessary to the public inter
est
amendments upon the table, and on this motion
the ayes and noes were called; and the vote
being uken, the motion was rejected by the
following vote: Ayes 81, noes 51.
Mr. Curry, of Ala., called the previous ques
tion, but the call was not sustained.
Mr. Garnett then called the question on the
substitute of Mr. Chilton; which call being
sustained, the ayes and noes were had, with
the following result :Ayes 33, noes 49. So the
substitute was not agreed to.
The question then recurred upon the proviso
offered by Mr. Singleton, and it was adopted.
Mr. Kenan, of Ga.. moved to reconsider life
vote, but the motion was not agreed to.
Mr. Heiskell, of Tenn., ottered the following
amendment to the 1st section of the bill, to
come in before the proviso of Mr. Singleton:
“But no minor shall be so discharged except
with his own free will and consent” This
amendment was agreed to by ayes 80, noes 32.
Mr. Crockett, of Ky., moved to amend by an
addition to the proviso of Mr. Singleton the
following: “And provided, further, that noth
ing in this act shall prevent volunteers from
the State of Kentucky, between the ages of 16
and 18, from entering the service, if in the
opinion of the proper authorities they are capa
ble of performing military service.”
Mr. Gartrell, after addressing the House,
moved to lay the bill and amendments upon
the table. Motion lost
Mr. E. M. Bruce, of Ky., moved to recommit
the bill and amendments to the Military Com
mittee, but accepted a motion to postpone the
whole subject indefinitely. This motion was
defeated by a vote of 32 to 46. The question
then cirne up on the amendment of Mr. Crock
ett, when
Mr. Harris, of Mo., called the previous ques
tion, which being sustained, and the vote be
ing taken, the amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Clapp, of Miss., moved to amend the sec
ond section of the bill by adding “unless the
parents of such persons are living, and shall
give their written assent to his enlistment, be
fore he is received.” This amendment was
adopted.
The bill, as amended, was then read and
passed to its engrossment, when Mr. Swann, of
Tenn., moved a reconsideration; but the mo
tion did not prevail. The bill was then put
upon its passage, as amended, and adopted.
Tbe*Cbair announced the follow ing commit
tee, under the resolution of Mr. Barksdale, to
examine into the condition of the Navy Depart

the Baltimore Sun, of Thursday, had been re
ceived in tlie Valle}’, in which it was stated
that our forces had captured at Manassas, on
Wednesday, five trains of cars loaded with pro
vision.-, and that later on tbe same day five
other trains, on board of which were some two
thousand Yankee troops. This affair was com
mented upon by the Yankee press as very dis
creditable to their commander, and some harsh
reductions as to bis fitness for bis position in
dulged.
Our own account of this affair reports that a
portion of our cavalry had advanced on tlie Or
ange and Alexandria railroad lo Bull Run
bridge, aliout five miles beyond Manassas, and
having burned tbe bridge continued their ad •
vance to Dye’s Station, where they concealed
themselves, and arrested the approach of a
number of trains of which they had previously
received information. After the trains passed
the concealed position of the cavalry the track
was torn up behind them. When they reached
the bridge, the officers on board finding that
something was wrong, determined to return to
Alexandria, but before backing far they found
the track torn up, and their retreat effectually
intercepted. The cavalry then approached in
superior numbers, and the enemy surrendered
without firing a gun. The number ot prisoners
reported captured agrees w ith tlie statement of
; tbe Sun, being estimated at 2,000, together
| with all the officers, regimental and company,
and a quantity ol arms and ammunition which
a ere being conveyed to Gen. Pope. After this
i brilliant affair the cavalry returned to Manas
sas, without sustaining tlie loss of a single man.
Some fifteen hundred or two thousand Yan
kee prisoners were yesterday between Rapidan
Station and Gordonsville, and may be expect
ed in tins city to-day. It is supposed that
these are the prisoners captured at Dye’s Sta
tion by our cavalry.

Mr. Wigfall, of Texas, objected to the intro
duction of such issues as that class ot legisla
tion, such as the “rich against the poor," and
the “non-slaveholder against the slaveholder.”
He had hoped that all such ideas would never
be presented before him after he left Washing
ton. As the substitute law now stood, it was
liabl
procure
battles of the country. By the proposed
the interests of the people and of the cause
were consulted. It covered those two impor
tant cases where it w as imprudent to leave large
bodies of negroes without subjection, and where
it was imprudent to lake away every mechanic
from the public.
Mr. Clark, of Mo., moved to strike out all
aliout the number of slaves necessary to secure
exemption, the provisions of the second section
of the bill being all that was necessary to at
tain th« object in view. This section provided
a special detail of privates from the army, for
the protection of all farms, when the owners
thereof are “long women,” minors, or persons
in the service of the Confederacy.
Mr. Spanow moved to lay all of the amend
ments on the table. Rejected.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Clark’s
amendment, and it was adopted.
The vote being taken upon Mr. Maxwell’s
amendment, striking out all in the first section
in relation to the particular persons to be ex
empted by substitution, it was lost.
The second section, authorizing a detail for
the protection of farmers under certain circunD
stances, was taken up, and in that part stating
that such detail may be made “when the safety
ol any locality may require it, upon tjie recom
mendation of five respectable citizens ol any
county or parish, with the approval of the Pro
vost Marshal,” Ac.
Mr. Brown moved lo strike out the clause
“with the approval of the Provost Marshal;”
which was adopted.
Mr. Phelan offered an amendment placing
the detail altogether in the hands uf the milita
ry commandant of the locality, who would, he
believed, be the best judge of the necessity of
such detail. The amendment was rejected.
Mr. Preston, of Ya., moved to strike out the
whole section. He believed that the States
themselves were competent to attend to this
matter themselves. He did not think it was
proper tliat this conscript army should be turn
ed into a police to guardjour cornfields, nor did
bo want any idea to go forth that he had any
fear of slave insurrection ; but greater than
this was the consideration of introducing mili
tary authority for the government of our slaves.
Mr. Sparrow pointed out the fact that the bill
provided that military assistance should not be
introduced except upon the application of the
owner of the estate, and the recommendation of
five respectable citizens.
Several other amendments were made and
others proposed, upon which the discussion
becoming extended,
On motion of Mr. Preston, was postponed
until to morrow.
On motion of Mr. Maxwell, the Senate agreed
that when it adjourn, it adjourn to meet on
Monday next.
On motion of Mr. Maxwell, the motion to
postpone the consideration ot the substitute
bill was reconsidered, and that bill was again
taken up, and after half an hour’s further de
bate, was postponed until Monday.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA
It is understood that tbe Government has
prohibited the forwarding, by telegraph, of any
information concerning the movements of our
troops in Eastern Virginia. Presuming that
the object in view is a good one, of course, the
public will bear the privation and curb their
desire for news from that section of the coun
try with the t best grace possible under the cir
cumstances. From our exchanges we give such
information on the subject as we are able to
gather.

Note—The substitute bill, as thus far amend
ed and passed, is as follows:
'That hereafter substitutes for persons lia
ble to military duty shall not be allowed, ex

stitute is skilled and actually employed in some
mechanical pursuit, tbe prosecution of which,
at the time, the Secretary of War may declare
to be important to the public interest. Pro

received, the person furnishing the substitute
shall guarantee his fidelity, and in case he de

HOUSE OF REfRESENTATIVES.
Friday, Aug. 29, 1862.
The House met at 12 o'clock. Prayer by
Riv. Dr. Seeley.
Mr. Chambliss, of Va., moved a suspension
of the rule requiring a call of the States, with
a view to lake up the following bill: “An act
authorizing the discharge of private soldiers
under 18 years of age, and prohibiting the en
listment of such persons. This bill provides
that any private soldior of the Provisional ar
my, who is under the age of eighteen years,
shall be entitled to a discharge from all milita
ry service, while he is under such age, on the
pplication of himself, his parents, guardian,
or next of kin, to the Colonel of the regiment
to which such private soldier belongs, sustain
ed by proof satisfactory to said Colonel of the
age of said private soldier, and that hereafter
no person under said age shall l« allowed to
enlist in the military service of the Confederate
States.
Mr. Miles, of S. C., moved to amend by strik
ing out the word “Colonel” and inserting tbe
words “Commander of a regiment, battalion,
legion, or independent company.” This amend
ment was agreed to.
Mr. Singleton, of Miss., submitted the fol
lowing as a proviso to the first section of the
bill: “Provided, however, that the provisions
of this act shall not apply to persons under
eighteen years who have been accepted as sub
stitutes.”
Mr. ChdtoD, of Ala., submitted a substitute
for Mr. Singleton’s proviso.
Mr. Bruce, ot Ky., moved lo lay the bi
to that paper, from which we condencc the fol
lowing interesting points:
Aug. Till, 1862.
The news from the army is ot the most grat
ifying character.
The Federals have evacuated Fredericksburg
—the division there having moved towards
Pope.
Pope’s force is now estimated at 80,000 men.
He has been joined hy Burnside, and probably
by a portion ol McClellan’s command.
Deserters arrive in our army every day, and
many of the prisoners express a desire to take
tbe oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, or
refuse to lie exchanged.
Before the Federal Government can avail it
self of its draft of 30o,o00 men, there is every
reason to believe that pur troops will be threat
ening Washington, if not moving upon Balti
more itself.
As a straw, it is stated that a noted Mary
lander offered to make a wager of *1 ,000 to
$100, that in less than 60 days, the Confeder
ate flag would be flying over the custom house
in Baltimore.
The advance of our army commenced about
the 19th inst, Gen. Longstreet at the head of
the column. The enemy fall,' back, and one or
two slight skirmishes take place.
Aug. 20th.—The army crosses the Rapidan.
Aug. 21st—The army moving in the direc
tion of Fredericksburg. More skirmishing in
front.
Aug. 22d—The army resumes its inarch,
Longstreet’s twelve brigades moving towards
the Potomac, on the right, and Jackson on the
left. Several small skirmishes have taken place
in front, and 80 or 90 prisoners went by, on
their way to the rear. Two Federal soldiers
captured confessed to have deserted from the
Confederate army eight months ago, are hung
to a tree. The enemy several times attempts
to check the advance of Longstreet’s division,
but arc signally repulsed. Pickett's,.Wilcox’s
and Pryot’s brigades severally engaged at dif
ferent times during the day, and lost but few
men killed and wounded. At Mountain Run,
in the afternoon, a Federal battery of 6 guns
commenced throwing shells, but were driven
off hy Capt. Mora’s Donaldsonville, La. bat
tery. Gen. Roger Pryor and Gen. W'ilcox both
have narrow escapes. A regiment of Federal
cavalry charged upon two companies of the
19th Mississippi regiment, demanding the sur-
rsnder. The Mississippians replied: “Surren
der be d—d—Mississippians don’t know how!’
The cavalry were repulsed, with 30 or 40 of
their saddles emptied hy the Mississippi boys.

Aug. 22d.—Arrived at Stevensburg. Four
miles to the left is Culpepper Court House ;—
and 4 miles ahead is Brandy Station, on the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The head
of Longstreet’s column is now upon the banks
ot the Kappahannoak; Jackson still on the
left. Gen. R. H. Anderson’s division has just
come up from Richmond, and is hurrying for
ward to the front Near this place is where
Col. Ashby’s old command attacked the ene
my’s rear guard day before yesterday and
drove them back—several killed on both sides.
Some twenty Yankee prisoners captured with
in the past two days are confined in the town ;
they all deny belonging to Pope’s army, and
claim to he a part of Burnside’s command.—
The enemy appears to be moving off in haste
and confusion ; Gen. Lee is pressing them
closely. At no time since the march commen
ced, have the main bodies of the two armies
been more than 5 miles apart.
Aug. 23.—28 miles from Manassas.—4 miles
from the Rappahannock. It is now half past 6
o'clock A. M., and heavy cannonading has com
menced upon the front, Jackson is reported to
have sent word to Lee that he is in possession of
Warrenton Springs, 15 miles to the left of Long-
street. Ewell is also reported to have crossed
the river above the enemy. Two bridges across
Cedar Run and the Rapidan burned by the ene
my. There are no fortifications around War
renton, hut the place is a naturally strong po
sition. •

During tbe engagement a large infantry force
waa in the immediate vicinity of the batteries,
ready to cross the river or support the guns as
might be required. Against these the enemy
directed a portion of his tire, and I am sorry to
add, not unsuccessfully. 1 saw but a portion
of the wounded, and consequently gathered a

is necessarily imperfect, it is due to the friends
at home to give it even in its meagreness.

As the day advances I may be able to add to
the above list, and at the earliest opportunity
shall endeavor to make it complete.
It is related that during the engagement one
of the enemy’s shells entered the house of a
Mr, Glassford, in the vicinity, passed through a
front into a back room, then under the bed on
which a lady was lying, and out of the oppo
site side of the house, doing no further damage
than to make a “wreck of matter” wherever it
touched.
Evening.—From various indications a gener
al engagement is imminent. The enamy ap
pears to be changing his lines, and from the
heights on this side of the river huge columns
of stnoke are arising, as if he were burning
stores and baggage, preparatory to another re
trograde movement.
If there is anything to prevent our crossing
tlie Rappahannock to-morrow, it is a sudden
rise of the river which has taken place within
twelve hours. Old residents here say that it
will fall as rapidly as it has risen.
Since writing the above, the enemy have been
driven from their positions, and our artillery
horses took their evening drink, undisturbed,
in the waters of the Rappahannock. To-mor
row will probably witness an advance of our
army across the Rubicon. Then ho! for Wash
ington and Baltimore.

Those words—"Tell all my friends to meet me in

“How blest the righteous when he dies
When sinks a weary soul lo rest;

How gently heaves the expiring breast.
So lades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are t.’er ;
So gently shuts the eye of day.
So dies a wave along the snore.”

Died, in Richmond, on the 24th of July, private Joiix
W. Mautin, Honor Robert D. Martin, of Co. U, 45th
Ga. Reg., In the34tb year of his age.
Tbe subject ol this memoir fell mortally wounded on
the evening of the 30tb of J one, at the memorable en
gagement near Richmond, aud lingered about four
weeks, bearing with Christian resignation the sude rings
ever Incident to a most painful wound. He professed
Christianity probably about 15 years ago, aud united
himself with tne Metnodist church and was a member
at tkrilime of his death. His walk was always one that
udori.wd a Christian’s life. Though reared in affiuence
he scorned the ease and pleasure of a luxurious home,
aud endured the perils and privations ofa soldier's lile,
with a patience and fortitude that encouraged and cheer
ed the nearts ol his fellow soldiers. His shining quali
ties as a gentleman and soldier, was appreciated hy the
whole company to w hich he belonged. And w hether
amid the quiet circle of social life or amid the din and
smoke of battle, he exhibited the high sense of duty,
the noble bearing, the lofty courage that go to make up
the type of true manhood. Gentle and kind in dispo
sition, devoted in his attachments, unwavering in nis
purposes, generous to a fault, he was a favorite object
upon whom tbe hopes of friends fondly and confidently
centered. He has left an aged father and a brother and
sisters, to mourn his loss.
Thus has passed away irom earth a spirit, gentle, pure
aud uoble in all Its attributes—gone to illustrate the
honor and patriotism of his native Georgia—gone to
swell the list of the gallant dead, whose memoi les will
ever live in the hearts of grateful countrymen.

Thomas Lewis, a resident or Dooly county, Georgia,
died at the Huguenot Springs, Virginia, Aug. 7tb, 18112,
of typhoid dysentery, born in Greene county, January
14th. 1804, being in his 5»th year.
The deceased had been from the time ot omr separa
tion from the old government, devoted to our Sunny
South, and oue among the foremost to contribute tothe
support ol our new government. He had made three
trips to Virginia to visit and administer to a fond son
who had early volunteered in defence ol nis country,
aud who had been for months prostrated with diseusc,
aud had exei led himself a great deal in arranging mat
ters properly to return home with his affiicteu son. anil
when on the eve of starting for home, was taken do a u.
wheu death claimed him as bis own, lar away from his
amily, save his sick sum, in a distant land, there to re*‘
until the last trump shall sound and bid tbe sleepiuj
millions rise. Mr. Lewis was not a member of any
i hurch, bat a professor of the religion of the Lord Jesus
C'brist. His faith was that of lne Trtmitive Hapt lsts,
tl lough a constant attendant at the house of worship
an long the differeui denominations. He has left a wile,
tht ee sons and a daughter, besides Innumerable triends
to l nourn his loss, which will be felt by more than aol-
diet s lamilies. He was always oue among tbe first to
cout ribute to tbelr necessities. Hut weep not, dear
frieu ill, for we feel assured that our friend only sleeps
to aw ake and sUine forth at tbe last day.* 8. B. 8.
Tribute of ife&pect.
Serg’t Wm. Nixon MoCabkill, ol the Pavia Kides,
12th ha. Keg., left hie quiet, happy home, on the 18th
ot June, 1861, offering his untried vulor, yea, even hu
life, a willing gift upon the altar of hia country, aud on
the v:h of August. 1862, at the battle of Cedar Kun, t e
sacrifice was perfected. Fresh in the memory of those
whot*e hearts are tuned to porrow’s saddest wail is the
day of his departure. His* manly bearing comd not
conceal the aL«ui*h he felt in leaving hits childhood’s
home with its dear inmates. He enlisted under hie
relative, the gallant Capt. McMillan, who fell at Me
Dowell, with his* youuger brother who wat* destined to
sicken and die lar from dear ones at home, among \ a
ginia'a sno^Lclad hills. This* was Willie’s tftet great
sorrow. Frictions and sudenng had served to strength
en the deep 'ove of those brothers, but death is merci
less, and tue elder was left to weep the loss of the you j*
ger away troru the soothing influences of home. In wi i
ting his mother of this he remarked, **i i ever km* v
now dear Donnie was to mo until he was taken aw a/,
but though he cannot return to us we may go to hm ,
and by the grace ofUod 1 intend to meet him in ilea'
en.” His letters gave ample proof of the earuesfne* ■»
of his purpose. He frequently asked his father and
mother to pray for him, tor the army and for the coun
try. lie was tndeed a Christian patriot. Lines frequent
ly quoted by him and marked as his own, in sentiment,
discover to us the zeal which prompted this willing
sacrifice ot the bright ambitions which dashed from inn
cy » mirror in rainbow tinted hues, upon the luture's
untrodden p ith, to the one absorbing work—the est.ib
ishment cf his country’s freedom.
“From life without freedom, say who would not fly
For one day of freedom, oh! who would not die ?
Hark! hark ! ’tis the trump ! tho call of the brave.
The death song of tyrants, the dirge of the slave
Our country lies bleeding, haste! Haste! to her aid ;
One arm that deiends is worth hosts that invade.
In death's kindly bosom our last hope remains—
The dead tear no tyi!inte, the grave has no chaius :
On, on to the combat! the heroes that bleed
For virtue aud mankind, are heroes indeed.
And eveu if lreedom irom this world be driven,
Despair not—at least we shall find her in Heaven.''
’Twere sufficient to forever embalm his name m me
troubled heart of our oppressed nation, to say “he died
at his po.-tbut could we make the soil breezes that
dual round his sunny, yet cheerless home, the bearer oi
his praise to every hamlet and city in the Confederacy,
we should not dll the measure of his just deserts. True
he was not u leader in the van ot the host; youthlul-
uess had placed distance between him and lame ; but
had not denied him the honor of aiding to crown older
heads wiiti its green wreaths, or the privilege of dying
Lr ihe liberty he so loved.
Alter enduring indeecrible snflerings on the moun
tains ot the North-west, his regiment was destined to
win for itself unparalleled distinction iD every engage
ment, under Jacasou. After the movement on Miiroy,
uuotiug irom a “vote of thanks to Gen. Jackson/’we
lind h:m to have been engaged in the capture of Ken-
ley's Corps at Front Koyal ; in the overwhelming deleal
ol Bauas, at Winchester ; in the unparalleled march
irom llailiowu to UaritBonbunj; in the triumphant
coudict with Fremont at Cross Keys ; in the utter rout
of bUields the lollowing day at Port Kepnblic: in the
glorious victory over McClellan near Kichmond. and
the cete&l of Pope at Cedar Kun, where he fell, alas :
too soon. At one of these battles he made prisoner a
Lieut. Colonel, aud was allowed to retain his sword and
belt as trophies, which was perhaps the most emphatic
expression of appreclatiation for faithfulness and valor,
he ever received; yet, as a grateful countryman lia»
saidoi the iallen, of the bravest, most self-sacrificing
soldiery in the world, “Could 1 find a fiowsr whose per-
lume would fill the whole South, 1 would plant it on his
grave.”
Of his social virtues I can scarcely speak with suih
cient delicacy and yet with justness, for he was of that
exceedingly modest and unobtriqlve type, that shuns
the public exhibition of his finer feelings, his noblei
qualities, aud those who knew him best loved him most.
He wou gradually but surely upon one's regard, and
when once established in your esteem could not be
easily displaced. V\ ith quiet, dignity ol manner unusu
al in one so young, there was blended that gentleness
whicn sprang from a spirit that would not crash a fiow-
er needlessly. He was the perlect gentleman at home
as abroad in all tilings. A kind and faithful friend, an
afieclionatu brother and a devoted son, conveys a lainl
lde.i el the deep tenderness that his letters exprc--t*ii
lor those he loved most. The light of his young life has
been quenched all too soon, but who shall say he lived
in vain? Urey haired men must think with grateiul
admiration upon the short history ol such a brave one,
crowded with services inestimable rendered to his
country in time of direst need. Of solid comfort lo the
sadly bereaved should be the reflection, that his lile
was nobly sp*:ut, his death honorable and full ol hope,
for them, ol a reunion with the young hero in a land
where the din of hattle Is never heard, aud death never
enters to still the heart’s warm pulses, but where they
may forever wander amid celestial groves beside ihe
river of lUe, and dtink ol its waters with the sweet con
sciousness that they haveput on immortality, are hence
lortn to minister before the God who so loved them as
to give his life a ransom for them.
May he who tempers the wind tothe shorn lamb, lead
gt-nily the siricken parents and suflering sisters and
orother, from out the shadow oi death which rests upon
them, into the noonday of his everlasting love. * K.
