The fallen hero, in the arms of his comrades, had no anxiety about . himself or his condition, but fixed his last < thoughts on earth on ins mother. Mr. G. C. Sawyer is the author, and the words have been arranged to very pretty music by C. F. Thompson, and published by Geo. Dunn & Co., of Richmond. We_advise ourjady friends to learn this song.' It may be pro cured at most of the book and music.stores. We recently purchased a few Messrs. Blackmar & Brother, Broad street, Augusta, who are supplied .with the be:t and latest gems.j * Why am I so weak and weary? Sec. how faint my heated breath All around to jne„seems darkness ; Tell me, comrades, is this aeath! Ah ! how well 1 know your answer , To my fate I meekly bow: If you’llonly tell me truly, Who will care for mother now ?

Who will comfort her in>orrow t ? , Who will dry the' falling tear.? Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead. Who will whisper word ; of cheer? Even now I think I see her, Kneeling, praying lor me ; how Can IJeave her jn her anguish ? Who will.care for mother now ? Let this knnpsacfabe my pillow, And my mantlc.be the sky!

Gen. Taylor’s presence at Buena Vista was the cl.i I circumstance which gave to less than five thousand men, mostly volunteers, a vic tory over quadruple their number. The late Mr. Rush, in his memoranda of a diplomatic re-'ul- Uee in England, says that the Duke of Wellington,said to him in con* versrdioti, that he estimated the presence of Napoleon in the field us fully equal to ten thousninl men.

This will inform you that 1 have been Lusby engagedjin my field of labor. 1 have distributed Testaments and. two hun dred and sixty-six hymn books, and tracts in abundance, zllso religious papers. The Soldier's Friend gives me one hunared eve ry v-cek, and The Eanner fifty, all of which I distribute to the soldiers; but they •are still desirous of more. The cry of the soldiers to me is, “have you any’ more Tes taments? Oh, hew Ido want one! I feel like 1w as lost without one.” J tell them to trust in the Lord, and we^will help them as soon as we can get them. I try to preach for them as often as I can; 1 find many that seem to"bejnquiring“t.he'way;of salvation —some saying, u lam a lost sinner; do pray for me !” ’and many seem deeply con cerned about their salvation, both in the hospital ind in the camp. I held a meeting intb - convalescent camp two days, and they sec.imd much interested. When prayer was made, "many bowed, seeming to be deeply affected, and if the ram had not come and broke up the meeting, 1 think we would have reaped some of my labors there and about the barracks. Do pray for me, that the 1 ord may help me to do my duty. Wins, in Christ, L. G. COBB. S-'orm 4<>r SJrawiiig Deceased SoS dicr’» Claim. State <?f Georg.a, County.

Owing to the present unsettled condition of the country, it is impossible to fix the terms of tuition for longer than six months, and in con ; sequence of the great advance in the price of the necessaries of life, we have been compelled to • make them double w hat they were before the war, except in the Preparatory and Primary Departments, in which we have advanced only , about fifty per cent. For the session beginning on the firs Monday in January, 1864, and end ing the middle of June, they will be as follows: Primary Department, . . . sl3 op Preparatory Department, . . . 30 00 College Classes, 60 00 , Teachers’Class, . . . . . 15 00 French, 15 00 Music, 4.0 00 , Use of Piano, . , . . . . 700 Incidental Expenses, . . . . 3 00 TuitiOa must be paid in advance. Daughters 1 of indigent ministers of all denominations will be taught gratuitously. ' Any young lady dependent on herself for sup > port, and desiring to prepare herself for a teach . er can have all the advantages of the College 1 free of charge, B WARDING. 1 Such arrangements have been made, as will accommodate all who desire to come. As it is ’ impossible to determine what the prioe of pro- I visions will be, we cannot fix the rates of board for the first three months. Pupils can be ac commodated in some of the best families in the ' place, at from S3O to $lO per month, exclusive of washing and lights. If ony one will pay in provisions, or in anything that, can be used for ’ the support of a family, at old prices, we will teach and board as before the war. I'RObPECTS* We have had, during the past session, an ag- • gregate of seventy-five pupils, and have received letters from different parts of this State, and from other States, encouraging us to expect at least double this number for the next session. The disturbances of the country may prevent the complete realization of our hopes*; but, in any event, w r e consider the Houston Female College as established upon a firin basis. Our object is to establish, if possible, a school for girls in which they may receive as thorough . mental discipline and as large acquirements in learning as have qeen attainable by our young men in the best Universities. We are confident that shall have the support and co-operation of our brethren and frfands. There never w*as a time when such education , was more needed than now. In our Teacher’s Department we are endeavoring to prepare such instructors for the rising generation as will be needed by our young Confederacy. We ■ have had only about a dozen in this department the present term, but expect a large increase , after January. A. C. DAYTON, President.
