LEVI GORDON MOORE, son Of Levi and Penney
Moore, was born Ia Leon County Florida, on the lst
day Of May, 1888. His parents emigated to this

and he departed this life on the 18th inst, aged q
years, months and 10 days The aged parents and
large circle Of friends left to mourn the loss Of
one cut down by the hand Of death In the full prime
and vlgOr OF manhood.
As regards the religious experience Of the subject
Of this notice we can say but little as he never at
lached himself to any branch OF the Christian church,
nor made any pretensions TO religion, until after the
hand of affection was laid upon him. He then soon
became very much concerned about his future state.
and at first seemed TO be alarmed, he seemed to
to be impressed with the probability Of his dssolu
ton being at hand He consequently sought, with O
great deal Of solictude, religious instruction, and an
interest in the prayers Of the pOus He said to the
writer that he had resolved, live or die, to give him
self to God that he had thrown himself at the foot
Of the cross, aud the merits Of the atoucment
made by Christ as his only hope. He seemed to
have great confidence in the promises Of the gospel
for he said Christ bound to forgive him-bound
by his own word-and he went to him claiming those
promises Subsequent to this, when Intercepted or

If our forces are successful, will probably

Every indication, whether by rumor or

has fallen back from his more advanced
posts, and taken position at a greater dis
lance from the enemy's works South Of
the Potomac. We do not, of course, pre-

selected by himself That an attack is
expected, is rendered more probable by a

Military Meeting.

We are requested to give notice to
those who take an interest in the formation
Of a volunteer company in this county,
under the late requisition for 10000 addi-
tional troops, that meeting will be held
atAntioch Church, on Saturday, (t0mor-
row, which Hon. A. F. Dantzler is ex-
pected to attend and address. On Tues
day meeting will be held in Paulding to
forward the same object, and if possible
to organize the company, 1t is proposed
that the citizens of the town and vicinity
furnish basket dinner for the occasion,
and it is hoped that the ladies will lend
the aid of their presence and approval to
the meeting. Considerable progress has
been made in raising the company, and
with proper effort it is believed that a
sufficient number may be obtained on
Saturday and Tuesday, to secure its for
nation. 1t is very essential that this reqisi-
ton be met-the success of our cause, in
the redemption of Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, and the insuring of the safety of the
lower Mississippi States depends upon the
promptitude with which our fighting men
turn out. Reliable accounts leave little
room to doubt that the commander of the
Lincoln forces in Kentucky, will soon
have an army of 10000 men. To meet
this host, the Souther States bordering the
river, are the only defence. They have
70 come up to the work, or the cause is
ruined and lost. Every State, every
county, and every man must do his duty,
and do it at once.
