), he had nevertheless made duty his
# action. The report of his superior

er, which records his death, says of him !:
:. 1e was conscientious to proverb." "Sincere
fas an infant" was an expression used in rela-
ton to him by brother officer. He was free
from all the vices Of the camp. He never in
dulged in profanity, and was temperate even
to abstinence. He was liberal supporter,
too, of the institutions of religion. His mill
tary talents and character were of the highest
order, as is evident from his rapid advance
ment i'll his profession and the responsible sta
tons assigned him and the testimony of his
superiors and brothers in arms. But 1t was
not on military qualifications that the speaker
would dwell-it was not these that had awak-
ened all this sympathy for his fate, and given
birth to these testimonies of respect. 1t was
the nobler qualities that belonged to him, his
private virtues, his character as a father, a
husband, and a man. on which we delight
most to dwell, and which demanded, more
than anything else, our respect.
The above is a very imperfect sketch Of
part Of Mr.. Adams DISCOURSE given princi-
pally from memory, and not in his language.
The whole is worthy of publication, and we
hope to see it in print in some form or other.
After the ceremonies at the church were
concluded, the procession proceeded to the
burying ground, where the funeral services
were performed, the body was consigned to
the grave, and the ceremonies concluded by
the usual military salute.
The whole was a scene not soon to be for
gotten-it was calculated to bring home to
every mind something of the reality of war
to make one reflect how dreadful is the cause
he perhaps IS upholding, The sight Of those
mourning friends-that aged mother-that
heart broken wife, and those fatherless child
rem, was stronger argument for peace than
can be conveyed in words-a more cutting re-
Duke to those who would encourage the spir-
!. Of war and conquest, than human lips can
bestow.

The remains of the lamented Merrill were
on Monday afternoon consigned to the grave,
with those tributes of respect which his char

cording to previous arrangement, as follows:

The procession proceeded through the prin-
cipal streets to the Congregational Church,
which was filed to overfowing. An affecting
and merited eulogy on the deceased was then
pronounced by the Rev. GEORGE E. ADAMS.
He begun by stating, that, had the deceased
lived and died among us, possessing the same
traits of character for which he was distin-
guished, there would have been no need Of
eulogy. He said, perhaps in paying this trib-
ute which the virtues of the deceased demand
ed, some might suppose he had overdrawn the
picture, but others would knoao that he had
fallen short of the reality. Capt. Merrill, he
said, was man of fine intellectual taste; ne
possessed high sense of honor, in the better
sense of that term; he had high standard Of
moral exceiIence; though a man of strong

this day in England where the progress Of reform
and the popular portion of the constitution, have never
been able entirely to purge it of. Not than sixty
