OBITUARY.,

Died, on the 18th August, MARY SUSAN,
daughter of James w. and Elizabeth Campbell,
aged years, months and days.
Died, at his residence. in the county of Am
herst, on the 2lst of July. Mr.. JAMES f. NJ.
SHEPHERD, native of Culpepper, but for many
years resident of Amherst. He had suffered
much from i'll health for several years, but the
attack which terminated his life was sudden
brief, and violent, continuing only about six
days. Elaborate eulngies on the dead. when UNI
merted only coniound the moral perception of
the living: but when one dies who, in his sphere,
has well and truly performed his duties. il is well
to pause and mark the event as ii tgihute to the
dead and an example to tho living. Mr.. Shop
herd was well known to the author of this, with
whom he had been on terms of friendship many
years. and he feels justified in saying that no
better or purer man than he ever lived or died.
High and honorable in his bea>i g-ever accord
ing to others what he demanded of thcm--a true
friend--a kind masier-a devoted husband,
brother and son--and more than all. a sincere
christian, his career signalzad by eminent
fidelity to all the social and moral duties of life;
and now that life's troubled dream is DER, may
not hope that to him the change from life TO
death has been only transition To higher and
holier state of existence; and though to the
ties that bind one TO earth be painful, yet,

AMERICA FIGHrs HER OWN BATTLES. II he
London 4 Advertiser in a recent article incidental
ly touching upon American affairs, took ocea
sion TO contrast the condition and prospects Of
the Union with those Of Great Britain. Among
other things il said
"Con,emplate England, grooming with taxation
and struggling in sanguinary war, with her
trade deranged, her populace Disseminated her
government the corrupt machine of an ogarohy
and her revenues squandered for she knows not
what-and contrast her with America-ihe A

d so much indifference-w statesmen arc cul

il is that stands boldly forward in her civil .great

to the military despotisms Of Europe; she |. is
that with her two thousand miles of unguarded
coast, her unwalled cities, her meagre navy, com
bnes within herself the elements necessary TO a
great military nation, Peace reigns at her FIRE
side; her throne is not in mourning.
Her Legislators devisng means TO relieve
,,n OVERLOOKING treasury; her trade is vigorous;
her people increasing beyond comparison in
wrallh Her government is at least cheap
and useful. Would that we could say the
same. England spends her blood and treasure

GEN. ToDLEBEN.- narratives circulated
from time TO time of the way Ia which this young
officer, who at the commencement of the siege OF
Sebastopol, was only Lieutenant. has been the
animating spirit of all the resistance that has been
offered, appear to be quite correct, and his
history has been among the most remarkable of
of modern times. He is by birth Lithuanian
jew. and in his earliest youth was engaged with
his father in the extensive and dangerous SNUG
Cling trade carried on across the Polish frontier
"a pursuit more calculated than any other to
stimulate the secretive daring which has lately
led 70 such extraordinary results. On giving up
this trade and entering the army. he remained,
until the invasion of the Crimea, a poor lieuten-
ant, aud during that period married the daugh-
ter of.a German chant at St. Petersburg,
whose fanii = considered the match one of extreme
condescensioa ON their side. Now. however, that
he is General and one Of the most important
personages in the Empire, there is no end to the
remembrances of those who have had the fortune
at any time to be connected with him.
From the following scrap which we find in the
Wing Of Mondsyit appears that Gov johnson is
absent from Richmond, the only time he has been
needed there since bis election
The Washington Organ, referring to the dis
tressed condition of Norfolk and Portsmouth, asks
with good deal Of pertinency:
s.:Where are the State authorities OF Virginia!
Where is Gov. johnson? Two of the largest
cities in Virginia are devastated by disease and
famine, and not movement is made by the
State Government for their relief. We have
heard good deal of State Rights in the last
fifty years freTa Richmond; have not the people

English engineer, at a public dinner given him in

suspension bridge then building over the Niaga'
ra river, wosd be q failure, and that no train of
cars would ever pass over it. He was also the
planner of the Victoria Bridge, to cross the St.
Lawrence at Montreal. and on which SI,165.000

American engineers foretold to Mr.. Stevenson the
result The wire bridge at the falls is now daily
