The Negroes to be Forced to Fight.
The Washington Chronicle lays down the
law for the negroes thus : “ Fighting pro-,
miscuous is forbid, and they must go in the
forefront of the battle.” The Yankees evi
dently intend to destroy the entire breed in !
America.
“Gen. Hunter believes the employment
of blacks as soldiers to be necessary to the.
preservation of our country. The result of
the war must be to secure to them the in
estimable blessing which, but for the rebel-'
lion, could never have been attained by the j
present, or perhaps the next, generation.— I
This being the case, it is no more than fair,
that negroes should aid us in crushing that
rebellion which is as hostile to their inter
ests as it is to ours ; and if there are among
them any who are too selfish or too cow
ardly to make sacrifices and incur risks for
the sake of the privilege of their manhood,
they should be compelled to their duty.”
New Proposition to put down the
Rebellion. —Greely is becoming less blood
thirsty, and is now the most clamorous of
all for putting an end to the war. In dis
cussing the war recently, he went so far as
to say :
If the Southern States would return to:
their allegiance, the President would be;
perfectly justifiable in withdrawing the;
emancipation pi octal nation for their benefit,;
and restoring to them the guarantees of
slavery contained in the Constitution.
A Washington dispatch in the New
York Herald, of the 21st, says : “A reign
of terror exists in Washington. Murders,
assaults, garroting and robberies are of;
daily occurrence. Yesterday Gen. Buford
had his pocket picked of nineteen hundred
dollars while m an oyster saloon, the thief,
escaping with his booty. Early this morn-'
itig Lieut. Graham, of the 2d Vermont
Cavalry, fvas found in his bed in a hotel
with his throat cut, and died before a phy
sician could be procured. It is thought he :
was murdered. Inconsequence of the in-;
sulli tcricy of the police force, and the con
sequent insecurity of the streets, those who
are obliged to be out after dark go armed.” i

The Salisbury (N. C.) Watchman says
there was a sale in Rowan county, recently,
when corn sold at 50 cents per bushel, paid
in gold. 'l'he ruling price is $4 in paper
money.
Humphrey Marshall recently made a'
speech at Knoxville. it was short, but
heavy. Here it is : “He was satisfied that
Knoxville was a safe locality, a very safe
place, from the appearance and size of the
crowd before him. While it was well;
enough to be secure, it would be better if
most of you would go out about Tullaho- j
ma, where there is likely to be something!,
to do.”

I THE GRAVE?'
[For BaptM Banner.]
X. I). Renfroe.
i Mr. Editor :
! I offer you a few lines, in verse, in memory of
, a much loved school-fellow, who fell in the bat
tle of Fredericksburg. I will quote a paragraph
from a biographical sketch, published in anoth
1 er paper, in order that the lines here presented
may be more fully appreciated. Truly, howev
er, none appreciate she man, if they do the cir
cumstances of his death, except those who were
well acquainted with him. To a human view
, of the subject, it is a pity for such men to die,
as it were, in the morning of an eminently user"
j ful life:
“ His last day’s work : He had offered up fer
vent prayer to God, and with the dawn thebat
; tie opened. He stood and acted his part mane
fully nearly to the close of the terrific scene.—
His captain was wounded in the early part of
the day; after this the command of the compa
ny devolved on Renfroe until his fall. About
I three o’clock in the evening, three regiments of
his brigade gave way and retired, leaving a gap
; through which the enemy was moving rapidly
to flank their position. Gen. Archer threw the
battalion and the First Tennessee regiment,
who alone remained in the battle al that point,
into the breach to hold the enemy in check un<-
. til another brigade could be brought up. The
enemy rushed on and were too strong. An or
der came to retreat. It is supposed by his coni’-
I rades that Lieut Renfroe did not hear the order.
The First Tennessee retreated, and the battalion
retreated, except a few of his company who
stood by him. The enemy coming up within a
few steps, ordered a surrender. He turned to
his few men with a gentle smile, and said:
1 “ Boys, this is a pretty hot place, and you must
get out the best you can.” Then turning to the
enemy, with his repeater in hand, he began to
lire, and was unhurt and firing bis piece with
: cool deliberation when his “boys” left him!
; And litre he was found dead. No friend saw
him die. Ido not say that he acted with the
! best discretion; but Ido claim for him that, in
j the last moments, lie stood alone on that part of
the field of carnage, with his face to the enemy,
! giving him battle.” —<S, IE Baptist.
The above is the substance of statements made
by his comrades.
The noble hero fell ou Frederick’s plain,
Because a tyrant’s yoke he dare disdain ;
His bones are laid beneath In. mother dust —
j His generous soul’s transferred to higher trust.
I ’Twas not thirst for blood that he possessed.
When Freedom shrieked, lie would not rest,
. Till, leaving friends, his home, his all, to go,
With sword in hand, to meet th’ invading toe.
He sought no sounding titles for his name,
Nor was there music in the trump of fame
To lure his mind from duties more divine
Ilian ever did the warrior’s thoughts coniine.
He went because his country made demand,
And (ought where honor called him to command;
fiieyi bravely leading on hi- gallant few
Amid the storm where death most thickly flew.
He fell, the noble Christian soldier fell,
’I lie worth of whose example none can tell;
He die t, the modest,.meek, and truly brave,
But not tor liune, but Freedom’s all to save.
He’s dead, but N. D. Renfroe’s name’s enshrined
Where vandal hordes, with all their rage combined,
Can never spoil, in hearts of purest love,
Where Christians keep theirgeins for heaven above.
Clintonville, Ala. W. M. Howell.
Death of B’rivale T. €’. Leonard,
Wetumpka Fight Guards, Third
Alabama Regiment.
This gallant and estimable soldier and gen
tleman, fell at the battle of Boonsboro’, on the
14th September, 1862. He was a quiet man,
i possessing, in a most eminent degree,those.rare
I qualities that secured the love and confidence of
all who knew him. I was at home on sick fur- ,
j lough when this sad intelligence reached my ,
< ears, which had the effect to increase the mel- 1
ancholy state of my mind—one of the strongest
ties that hound me to earth having been sever :
ed, I was more than ever inclined to seclusion. ,
At the first call for volunteers, from a stern
sense of his duty, he unhesitatingly tore himself ’
from his home, with all its endearments, and
offered his lite to his country, an immolation on <
, the altar of liberty; and in sacrificing his life
he made a sacrifice in which all have an inter- ,
est. Now he is lost ! lost to his country, lost to
’ his parents, lost to us!
Among the many thousands who have fallen
j martyrs to flu -acre ! cause of Southern inde
pendence, I know of none win sc death was more
#ad and untimely. Those who knew him may,
'aye, they will, inquire why his statue stands not
j among the statues <>f those who were thought
• ; ablest and worthiest to govern. But his atnbi-i
\ lion was a high and holy feeling, unselfish and
magnanimous. His aspirations were for his
country's good ; hi triumph was his country’s
prosperity.
Serenely, like the sun. without a cloudtodun
his splendor, moving nm.dst the revolving plan
ets, was he among his fellow-soldiers! His
i presence gaxe light, light and joy; his absence
leaves darkm ss and dismay. The serenest beam
of his parents’gh>n is extinguished in the tomb.
A life of brilliant ami > If devoted services is
finished forever. As wo contemplate this sad
event, the shadows of the past gather over us;
the memolies of departed patriots hover near
us, wailing to receive into their midst the spirit
i of one who was worthy to be a co laborer with
them in a common cause, and to share the re
wards of their virtues. Hence he must be to us
as one of them.
Sincere in all his declarations, bis words were
never doubted and his promises never broken.
The crowning glory of his character was his
patriotism. Thi- was so pure, so unmixed with
any selfishness, that the bre dh of suspicion nev
er sullied it, and no ingratitude or wrong could
fora moment weaken its force. Calmly, and in
full view of all consequences, he laid his life
upon the altar of his country, and diet! at the post
of honor, nobly defending those simple but im
posing duties due to his talents and services,
and now sleeps with many others who have
wended their way to the spirit land. That noble
heart has ceased to beat forever Oh! that we
might now call him from the grave, once mere
r to cheer our sad and drooping spirits; but he is
gone beyond the sound of human voice, beyond
j Hie reach of human hands—he is gone, and great
is the void which he has h-tl. As a flock that
has lost its shepherd; as & company of marines
_ who have lost their pilot; congregation of the
t pious who have lost their pastor—we have lost
. our mess mate.
I tough no pnveession followed him to the
i n F v rv -’ nr 4ed as his mourners;
' ' . carved, no stone was
i.i.-tx. to pt tp» • ) t j s memory, his name
t wi 1 long live in o Ur feelings, to alhire ns on to
valor and rvnow u -making us better sons, beu
1 ter husbands, and letter soldiers
i Thus shall his virtues be imitated while lib-
XJK £ SA? n 8 Z BAH IS K a..
erty is dear and patriotism is honorable. Who
I wilt dare say that a richer reward than we or
. earth can give is not his due ?
[ “He has fought his last battle, he sleeps his last sleep ;
No sound can awake him to glory again.”
