How Bee and Barlow Died.

The following is from the Richmond cor
respondence Of the Charleston Mercury:
The name of this officer deserves a place il
| the highest niche of fame. lie displayed
gallantry that scarcely. has q parallel in history
Tho brunt of the mornings battle was sustain
ed by his command until past . o'clock. Over.
whelmed by superior numbers, and compelled
to yield before a fire that swept everything be
fore it, Gen. Bee rode up and down his lines,
encouraging his troops, by everything thai
was dear to them, to stand up and repel the
tide which threatened them with destruction.
At last his own brigade dwindled to o mere
handful, with every field officer killed or dlsa.
bled. He rode up to General Jackson and
said:
General, they are beating US back"
The reply was: Sir, we'll give them the bay
onct."
Gen. Bee Immediately rallied the remnant
Of his brigade, and his last words to them were:
"Therc is Jackson standing like a stone wall.
Let us determine to die here, and we will
conquer. Follow me-"
His men obeyed the call and, at the head
Of his columns, the very moment when the
battle was turning in our favor, nc fell, NOR
tally wounded. Gen. Bsanregard was heard TO
say he had never seen such gallantry. He
never nurlnured at his suffering, but seemed
to be consoled by the reflection that he was
doing his duty.
We take this from the correspondence Of
the Dispatch" written by one of the combat.
ants
Col. Barlow, by General Beauregard's order,
brought up the tin Georgia, eyclaiming, in
reply to Col. Gartrell, Of the 7th, who asked
him where they should go-"Give me your
fag and | will tell you
Leading them 10 their stand amid a terrific
fire, he posted the regiment fronting the
enemy, and exclaimed in those eloquent tones,
so full Of that high feeling his friends ever en-
pected from him: "Gen. Beauregard says you
must hold this position, and, Georgians, | ap-
peal to you 10 hold it"
Regardless Of life, gallantly riding amid
the hottest fire, cheering the men, Inspiring
them with his fervent courage, lie was shot in
the heart, and fell from his horse. They
picked him up. With both hands clasped over
his breast, he raised his head. and with a God
like effort, his eye glittering in its last glcam
with 4 blazing light, he said, with last heroic
fash of his lofty spirit, "They have killed me,
but, boys, NEVER give up the field" emphasiz.
ing the 'nevcr' in his peculiar and stirring
manner, that all who know him will so feel
ingly recall.
Thus persisted MS noble a soul as ever
breathed. He will long live in remembrance.
He met the fate he most wished-thc martyred
patriots grave. He was a pure patriot, an able
statesman, a brilliant lawyer, a chiyalric SOL
dicr, u spotless gentleman. His imperious
scorn Of l~ittleness was one Of his leading
characteristics. His lofty patriotism will con-
sign his name to an immortal page in his
country's history.

Important Hulnor.

There was a very important nj in our
city on yesterday, based upon authority which
entities it to high respect, if not absolute Gre
dsnce. 1t is affirmed that Admiral Dundas, in
command of the British Fleet off Charleston,
has written to Lord Lyon, the British Minister
in Washington, that the blockade Of the Lin
coin Government is iac1tctual, and he should,
therefore. 1reakit!
This information Lord Lyon communicated
to Secretary Seward. Mr.. Seward replied that
the blockade is eTectual, and that if the Erit.
ish Government disregard it, it will do so
at its peril.
Lord Lyon responded that his duty ended
with the communication he had made.
The above reaches US through English
sources. Ifthere be no mistake about IL, Abra'
ham will soon have his hands full. By land
and he son, h;s -ouUIes come upon him.
Truly, "the way Of the trausgressor is hard
