could induce, his bereaved father rs returning
TO his now desUate home, without even the
consolation of bringing back with him what
was mortal OF the idol of his affections Let
us hope, however, that the Potomac, whose
waters are associated with memories dear to
every American heart, will yet yield up the
youthful dead, and permit his ashes to find
last resting place among the sepulchres OF his
fathers.
And now, generous companion and brave
young soldier, farewell Thy memory will
long be green in many hearts, and thy native
city will cherish, among the memorials of her
honoled sons the name Of him, who, in his
eighteenth summer, laid himself willing sac
ritice upon the altar OF his country.
The records of that sad conflict at Balls
Bluff, tell the story of the fall Of one OF tie
oldest and one of the youngest officers of the
Union forces. One, high in political position,
and the pride of our western domain (et the
tear of charity forever erase the remembrance
of his mistakes, if any he made, for he was a
peerless man, and a tower of strength to the
nation) tie other, fitting representative of
the unconquerable pluck and the chivarous
daring Of the young men of the oldest com
monwealth in the Union Thus were united
upon the same altar of patriotism and love of
country, the Atlantic and the Pacifc-the
blossoms of youth and the frosts of age Oh,

crations, can despair, whatever may be the
reverses of tile moment, of the final triumph
of the republic H. s. W.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-The review Of in
fantry regiments on Capitol Hill, this morn
ing, passed off well. These reviews have their
use, and are not intended for show as some
people seem to think-N. y EU'9 Post
1t is gratifying to be assured thai these re
views have their use. "Some people" have
seemed to think that there has been nearly
enough of reviews, and that some other evil
dences Of practical activity ought TO be given
around Washington. 1t is certain, whatever
may be said, that great mistakes have been
made up and down the Potomac, and that
something ought to be done to offset them.
Certainly there will be reason enough for de
spondency, if winter should set in while the
banks of the Potomac are lined with hostile
batteries, and the capital of the country re-
mains practically beseiged and beleagured
city.

whole machinery seemed disorganized, and
was finally abandoned and given up as hope

that James had distracted an important le-
yer from the works. Test fnalIy proposed
that they grind out a few candida es with a
hand organ, announcing at the same time
that he and Casady had an organ with which
they had ground out candidate for steria

ciple grinders having learned that Z wards
vas not sound on the Secesh question, and
that Test and Cassidy had run him through
the mill to forestall Baker, it vas decided
to put the organ in operation and grind on,

and soon ground himself out. The organ

there never would be better time to lead

Crawford coon left the handle and jumped
into the hopper, assuring the others that he
had no craving for the en,oluments of the
Office, bu. that the handle attached thereto
seemed to him very smooth and Desirable.
Ed. Rider, (whoss llr,le spending money is
40 far down his trowsers leg that be has
