FUNERAL OF CAPT. WALKER.-The funeral of
the late CAPT. WILLIAM WALKER, who fell gal
lantly fighting at the head of his company on
the bloody field of Buena Vista, took place on
Yesterday, and was attended not only by our
own citizens but by very large number from
the country and from the neighboring towns.
The German Washington Guards acted as an
escort on the occasion and were followed in
the procession by car covered with black
pail bearing the remains Of Capt. Walker, the
family and relations of the deceased in carriages,
the members of the company who served with
him in Mexico, the committee of arrangements,
the Mayor and Council, the Order of Odd Eel
lows of this city and from Henderson. KY, in
full regalia, and the citizens of The town and
country on foot. in carriages and on horseback.
The procession was very lengthy and after
passing through several of our principal streets
proceeded to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
were truly eloquent and feeling Grafton was
delivered by James L. Blythe Esq. 1t was
impossible to crowd one-fourth of the number
present into that spacious building, and great
was the regret of those who were so unfortunate
as not to get seat ourselves among the number,
at being deprived Of the pleasure of hearing the
exercises. The body was borne thence to our
grave yard and deposited in lot selected by
our city authorities for that purpose. 1t is the
intention of our citizens to erect suitable mon
ument over the remains of this gallant soldier,
commemorative Of his many virtues and his
patriotism; on this monument the names OF
those Of his company who fell by his side in
UarrIe VIII also be inscribed: twill be fitting
and just tribute to his and their memory, in
which all our citizens will participate.

PAY OFTHE SOLDIER.


''It has generally been understood, until
within a very short time, that law was pass
ed at the last session of Congress, raising the
paw Of the regular and volunteer soldiers from
seven to ten dollars per month. This is gross
mistake, into which we, III common with al
most every body else, have unfortunately been
led, some how or other. Nearly all the volun-
teers comprising the new regiment which has
just been made up in this State, enlisted UNI
der the belief that they would receive ten dol
lars month, being assured that such was the
law. 1t is mystery to US how such an inn
preston gained such universal spread, with
out starting point, and without some one to
contradict it. We can account for 1t in no
orher way than it was Matched up by the Loco
foco members of the last Congress- and sustain
ed by the press of that party, to operate in the
elections this summer. A measure to that eff
feet was before Congress, and the people expec-
ted in Justice to the volunteers, 1t would pass
of course, and, therefore, 1t did not require
much exertion to make them believe it had
passed. columbus Gazette.
The Gazette "hits the nail on the head" The
impression has been Matched by Locofoco mem
bers of Congress, and sustained by the press of
that party, TO operate in the elections this sum-
mer. In this district the reply to the charge
that Mr.. Owen voted against increasing the pay
of the soldier has been simply, he did so for the
purpose of securing to him more ample and
complete justice-he voted against Mr.. Sewarts
proposition and against the amendment to the
bill to raise an additional force for the army,
the object of both of which was to increase the
pay of volunteers TO ten dollars per month, be-
cause he wanted to place the regular on an
equality with the volunteer, and ''the result has
shown the wisdom and justice of his course :"
Thus leaving the impression that such Bill
was passed, and that under it the privates Of
both arms Of the service receive ten dollars
month. With this impression the whole ofthe
last regiment enrolled in this State, have been
induced to volunteer, and have been deceived.
No such law was passed. Though MIR. Oven
votedagainst increasing the pay of the volunteer
with the intention of increasing equally that OF
the regular and though his party had large major
tiles in both branches of Congress, he did not sue
coed in carrying that intention into effect. The
pay of the soldier is still 81 month, and the
pay of the congressman is still IS day. And
Mr.. Owen wants it. Friends of the poor SOL
der, shall he have it?
