The Savannah Republicans, OF the 24th, tell,
this touching and beautiful incident, which
we commend to every heart that has been
beresved in this terrible but righteous war,
Let them take the example of this patriotic
father to heart:

who reported to him the sad news Of the
death Of a ~favorite son. "How and where
did be die =" was the impulsive interroga-
tory. Under Beauregard Ut Manassas, fight

THE CAIRO MovkxEsr.-The Memphis
Asala"che publishes = letter of the 9th from
Randolph, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
A day Of more general sorrow was never
witnessed in Memphis than that of Friday.
The levee was thronged with the mothers,
wives and sisters, the fathers. brothers and
soma Of our brave volunteers, and the part
ing-it may be forever-was in the greatest
degree sad. The Memphis Independent Dra-
goons, Capt. Mcdonald, we,e upon our boat;
and the men, so gay and spirited in tie city,
wore faces of melancholy throughout the
trip, nor have they yet entirely recovered
their wonted light heartedness.
1t Is evident that there is en- important
movement on foot. Gen. Pillow and staff
are along. Col. MCGOWAN, it 10 rurnored,

tied States soldier, 4 native Tennesseean,

q Yankee fur trader in the North Western

toned At Weston, in Lewis county, and COM
mands Lincoln's rufiians there, determined to
make an excursion into Braxton county ; but
the Colonel was frustrated in his designs.
Some Of the Braxton boys, learning his plans,
determined to head him Of, and, accordingly,
selected q point ON the rosd he was travelling
suitable for their purpose, and accomplished
their designs in the following manner:
At a point where the Colonel had to as
cend 4 long hill, they felled trees in his path
and fell back to . convenient point, where
they laid in ambush until he passed. They
then, fell trees in bis rear, also, thus COM
pletely catching him in . trap. They then
fired upon him. killing some fifty or sixty Of
his men and capturing many Of his horses,
etc. This enterprise, we understand, wa
conducted by one Of the backwoodsmen Of
the country, and, from ito success, we pre-
that Colonel Tyler, who 10 said to have

I propose to submit another plan to provide
for the contingency Of . conuanee Of the
