mee.;pR Of tho Cadets

n. NJ. C., Nov. Is, 1861.
On the night of the 1Ith inst, meeting of the
cadets was held, and committee appointed, who
produced the following resolutions, which were al
most unanimously adopted
Whereas, we have learned with profound sorrow
and regret that large number of our brave sold
iers who have been so unfortunate as to lay pros
trate by disease have been transported to this city
to receive comfortable quarters and proper attens
tion that they might be restored to their former
state OF health and strength and return to their post
of duty to speed our most noble cause, have met
with very uncomfortable and crowded accommoda-
ton in hospitals where many, who would otherwise
recover will on account of the denied requisites,
soon bid Rdieu to their suffering country. And
Whereas we are occupying and using two large
buildings which would make as comfortable and
convenient hospitals as any others in the city. And
whereas, we think that the sick and dying soldiers
should be provided and cared for above all others.
Therefore,
Be Il resolved, That we, the Cadets of the Nash
VILE Military Institute, WILL whenever it is deemed
necessary by proper authorities, readily and will
ngy resign our right and title to the buildings and
offer them as hospitals acting on the power that we
as students possess.
Be It further TeSOlUed That as many of US have
bedstesds, blankets, mattresses, chairs and many
other articles which would greatly tend to their
comfort and can part with them without any appa-
rent loss to ourselves will leave them for their use

PANIED to hear Of the death of Jas. A. Whitesides,
ESQ.,. Vice President of the Nashville and Chatta-
noogs Railroad Company, which occurred yester-
day morning at clock at his residence in Chat

citizen and his death is 8 severe calamity to the
people of Tennessee. A man whose reputation for
integrity and enterprise had secured to him the
spect and confidence of his fellow citizens few, if
any were better calculated than Mr. ". for putting
for ward works of public interest and advantage,
and none seemed more eager than him for accom-
plshing good in this respect. He was among the
most active in obtaining the charter and stock SUBJ
scriptions for the Nashville and Chattanooga Road
and from the first has been one Of the CompaTy's
Directors and for the past three years has filed the
post of Vice President His illness was of a pro-
tracted and painful character-dropsy of the heart
being the immediate cause of his death.-NdShUiVe

The Return of the Leesburg

! The anxiety felt in the community Yesterday for
the safety of the seame, Leesburg was happily ter
minated by her arrival with all her command and
| freight, and additional stores rescued from the
abandoned camp at Braddock's Point.
From gentleman who accompanied the expedition
we learn that the Leesburg, loaded with artillery
horses, qusrtermaster and commissis y stores and
ammunition left at nine o'clock on Thursday night
under command Of Capt. George Robertson, C. s.
A.. Assistant Commssary in Gen. Lswton's staff for
the use of Georgia troops at Fert Walker. Captain
J S. Brooks having volunteered his services, was
entrusted with the sailing orders of the adventure
Gus expedition. By way of creeks known on.y to a
lev pilots Capt Brooks took the steamer to a safe
point at which to anchor until morning During
the nignt boat passed them rowing toward Ss-
vannsh, which being hailed answered that all was
right the feet hsd all gone to sea again. The re
port was not believed, and suspicion being aroused
es to the character Of the boats crew, a sharp
watch was maintained by the eff ;ers in person
during the night.
Atdayllght, gettir g under way the steamer was
cautiously steered to Broad River, west of Hilton
Head Island. Here parties of fugiCyes from thu
Isl4Dd picked up from the boats of every size
by the steamer, some OF whom were from Brad
docks PoIntB4ttery and some from FsTt Walker.
Here the officers were informed of the result of
the battle. 1t being ascertGlned that the navigable
waters about Hilton Head Island were in possession
of the enemy, and the officer in charge having been
present at the opening of the fight and witnessed
the remarkable speed and light draught of some Of
the enemy vessels, and it having been sscertaned
that our troops had returned to Savannah in the
night, the Leesburg landed on terra firm the Caro-
lima troops. of whom the principal portion were
frem Brsddock's Point under Capt. Elliott. She
then ran down to the Point, and having established
bright lookout, took off from the abandoned bat
terry some three or four boxes of new muskets, q
quantity of Quartcrmaster and COmulissary stores,
and all the personal baggage and equipments Of the
troops, which they had been unable to remove
The tents being at great distance and the steamer
being heavily loaded with munitions Of war, it was
not considered advisable to wait to receive them in
waters which were now open to the enemy's fleet
The steamer, therefore, returned to the city to the
great relief of the community, who believed from
her long delay that she had unwittiUgly been car
ried into the enemy's hands.-SdUdnRGh Ne,os No
