From the Courant.

Bear our noble dead with honor,
 To his peaceful place of rest Wrap the nations flag around him,
 Lay his sword upon his breast Fit emblems ofhis loyalty,
 To his country loved so well, For whose sacred rights he bravcly fought,
 In whose defense he fell. Irvine Q garland fresh and fragrant,
 To deck his honored bier; Ger his glorious, monday sunset,
 Let fall no murmuring tear; For the perfume of lis noble life
 Like incense blcst shall rise, When our righteous cause has triumphd
 And in dust rebellion lies. Make his grave beneath the willows,
 Near his boyhoods early home; Where the shadows of the homestead,
 May fall upon his tomb, By his aged sire, and mother,
 Lay him gently down to sleep; Ger his peaceful, quiet slumbcrs,
 Let angels vigil keep.
 No more the din Of battle,
 Shall fall upon his car; No sound of drum, or cannon,
 Can reacl the soldier thcrc He has gone from earthly conflicts,
 Bright with undy;ng fame; At the " musterroll of Heaven,
 He has answered to his name His brow is wrcatleG with laurels,
 Fairer than earth can give; And his memory Ger immortal,
 In nations heart shall live. Ger his stricken, warrior brothers,
 His spirit still will bend, And to their hearts fresh courage,
 In hours of fainness lend. "Tll lead thee; follow on, ye brave,"
 Shall prove Il magic power;- The stroke which laid our hero low,
 Brings near the glorious hour, When Freedoms banner shall unfllrl
 It's folds OCT land, and sea, And every heart it's pcan raise,
 For equal Liberty. Sept. 4th E.M.R.

DARHEsTowN, Oct. is.
On the night Of the 10th of Sept. de.
taehment OF twelve men crossed the Poto-
mac for the purpose OF reconnoitering and
loraging. When reaching about half q
mile from the river they were attacked by
fifteen rebels, two Of whom were instantly
killed. Among the wounded was my in
formant-COrpOral Gracy. As Gracy lay
wounded upon the gronnd, a rebel named
Mccarthy Lowe, farmer, residing In the
vicinity, rushed up ani shot him twice, both
barrels taking effect, and was stopped from
firing a third time by his Captain. One OF
the balls penetrated Gracy's back in slRnt-
ing direction, and came out on his left side;
the other entered the back and lodged in
his left lung, where IT still remains. His
two weeks stay at Fairfax was not Of an un-
pleasant character, considering all the cir
cumstances. In this hospital the inmates
were mostly members OF the lstYirginia Reg
iment Every day OF two those seriously
i'll were sent to Richmond, as it was feared
that Gen. Mcclellan would attack the rebel
lines The night after he became able to
move about, he drugged the beverage Of his
attendant He then started toward the Po'
tomac at the point Of his capture, but it con-
sequence of the large rebel forces he was
compelled to diverge in westerly direction,
crossing Bull Run, and thence taking a cir
quito IS route 10 avoid observation. While
in the hospital at Fairfax he occasionally
overheard conversations between the officers
and the surgeons Of the hospital. He saw
Beauregard and Longstreet in conversation
on several occasions, and inferred that Long
street held some important commission.
On the 9th inst. JEFF Davis was at Fairfax
and srent several hours with Beauregard.
Gen. johnson was understood to be some
where in the immediate neighbOrhOod.
On one occasion Gen. Lougstreet said tC
the surgeon that the rebel forces in front o
Washington were so scattered that if attack
ed at any point in the line, there must neces
sarily be an abrupt retreat by all upon Ma
nassas-their Gibralter. They think it i'm
possible TO be driven from this point.
1t was generally believed that Beauregar
would burn the village of Fairfax CouT
House, if compelled to evacuate it. It wa
impossible to ascertain the exact number Q
rebel troops in and around Fairfax. The
were variously estimated at from $4,000
100, 600. As far as Graoy's observation wen
they were better fed than clothed, but b
, heard no complaints in regard 10 the lattel
although their uniforms presented a curiou
mixture, gray preCominating over othe
: shades of color. Salt had been scarce, br
) the supply was becoming more plentiful. d
learned that hundreds of men were emplOye
/ on the sea shore in making salt.

The sword cost one thousand dollars.
A brief presentation speech was made by

responded briefly and feelingly, and said
that the gift should always be used on the
side of Justice, Truth ard Loyalty. The
war We were engaged in was holy and just,
but although the clouds were dark he had
no fear for the result. tHtt

The supply Of Gold.

No surer indication exists Of the financial
sOundness, not only of our Government but
of our mercantile and commercial classes, than
the exhibit Of the specie condition of the East
ern markets. Croakers at home and rebel sym
pathi1ers abroad have never ceased 10 sound
the warning that our Government and our
people would be bankrupt before the war
had lasted six months. The rebels them
selves, by repudiating all debts due at the
North, thought to reduce our merchants to
fhs level Of the French revolutiOuists who
CRY before the doors of the palaces for "bread
or blood, and the great mass OF the North
srn people were to be so desperate from want
that our cities would echo with the raging
cries Of starving human wolves. The grass
was to grow in Broadway, and the tnkle OF
the cow-ben be the only sign Of life in Wall
street.
How faithfully this prediction has been
fulfilled, let few figures show. On the l7tI
of August, the day of the taking Of the first
$50, OoO, 900 of the National Loan by the East
ern banks, the specie in the New York banks
amounted to S49, 1880. It ran down tt
sss, sos, III on September 2lst since Whiol
tino it has been steadily increasing, unit
it now stands at nearly S43,Ooo,ooo Oh
the 18th of August the specie in the Sub
Treasury was shout $5,OOO,OOO; it is nov
about SIl 500 600. We see then that tn
stock of specie in New York has decline
less than $4,000, 900, Notwithstanding tn
fact that between the dates mentioned, tn
banks had loaned to the Government two in
stalments of $50, OOO, 900 each, upon the Ma
1ional Loan. This very gratifying result ha
been partially attained by largely diminishe
importations, and partly by the readinei
with which the people of the country hav
exchanged their gold and silver for th
Treasury notes, or the demand notes. Th
high rates of the Morrill, tariff, which was s
bitterly opposed by many at its passage
the last regular session, has been the mai
agent in th1s keeping millions Of dollars
our own pockets instead of putting it int
foreign capitalists hands. And it is NJ
