only to the officers and men of his own company,
but to all who knew him.
Resolved, That while we mourn with heart
felt sorrow the loss of our friend, cut down as
he was by disease and net at the coveted post OF
danger, we humby acknowledge. in our bereave-
ment, the hand of an All-Wise God, and pray that
this affction may be sanctiied to the good OF all
those with whom he was lately associated.

the bereaved family, whom we commit to the

An Ungallant Soldier.

4 A volunteer writes from Russelville, East
Tennessee letter to the Mobile Adoertiser, from
which We extract the following:
At all the places where we have camped the
ladies have come iu rowds. to sec Us. Many OF
them have been very kind, aud have tried to
make themselves useful, particularly aboutthe
sick, but It's no go. | was a lit le sex at Cor
inth, aud was visited by soma seven or eight,
armed with soup, tea, arrow-root, and otaer fix
ings, together with advice, consolation, etc.
can say, from experience, that they did no good
in nay case. | could not help feeling very much
bothered while they Were talking to me, and of
course was too polite to refuse taking anything
they offered, and always thanked them proiusely.
The result is, my system is still thoroughly satu-
rated with arrow root, ETC., aud have lost al
all taste for mustard, pepper, salt, etc. from
having suffered great quantity cf the former
condiment to be extensively used 10 my case. at
the earnest request OF so,ne ladies who were
treating me. | would not have used any OF tie
stuff, but they promised TO Call again, and was
afraid they woald catch me. 's9f

MORE TYRANNY.-Lincoln's hirelings in Bait
more have been ordered to stop the sale of Con.
federate flags, badges and envelopes, and also the
likeness OF President Davis, Generals Beauregard
Lee, Johnston, and all persons citizens of the
Confederate States. A number of persons who
refused to comply with this piece of despotism
were arrested. Persons pa sing along the streets
with red and white neckties were forced 10 re
move them; and one gentleman, who had expo.
sed in his store window q pair of infants seeks
knit of red and white yarn, was compelled "a
remove them, the policemen asserting that the
colors were those of the Confederate Sfates
The policemen themselves were heartily ashamed
of this small business, aud declared that thay
were only obeying orders. They said they had
families dependent upon them for bread. and f
they gave up this dirty work their wives and
children would sterve.

Hospitality to Soldiers.

Before sufficient lospits accommodations had
been provided in tEis place, our kind citizens

that there were not prope hospital acoommoda-

the warmest synpathies OF his heart, he took

anxiety, distress and unce easing attention to the

"Thongh my affection is great, yet regret not

Good TicingR.

We are truly gratifed t. learn, that the Poto-
mac has been if etually closed by powerful bat
tsries, aud the whole avenue to Washington pu;
under strict blockade. Tie reason for not doing
this at an earlier period, says the Eraaainer, wa:
simply that we had no available force sutficieEt

part of the enemy to destroy. The Potona,
has now been shut up, and force is there am

Since the above was in type, we have seen

who informed us that in the fight on Tuesday
last, we had only 1,700 against IL, 200, 5000 OF
the enemy being actually engaged and 6 ZOO held
in reserve. We had NONE killed, and net more
than six or seven wounded. Gen. Floyd was shot
in the arm. The loss of the enemy in killed is
supposed to be between 200 and 500, with a much
greater number wounded. Gen. Floyd has fall
en- backto Dogwood Gap and has formed iunc-

CONSEQUENCES eF THE WAR.-An able edito,
rial in the Baltimore Exchange on the respec i've
abilities OF the two sections to carry on the wal
successfully. concludes as follows:
Whichever way we regard it, the consequen.
ces are the same partially Injurious to The South
but disastrous to the North. The SOUTH loses
little; 1T spends comparatively little, and is pi-
ling i wealth up. The North loses everything
spends enc mousy, and stores scarcely anything
Every day adds, 10 fact, to the strength of the
South and dimlnshes that of the North. The
war tells alike on the Western farmer, the East
ern manufacturer and the New York banker
The, effect upon the former. however, is only
temporary; upon the two latter it must be more
permanent. Tue eventual result of the war vii
surely be to unite the slave States in one grand
Republic, snd the North will then fud that its
suicidal policy has only served to establish ma
tion, which possesses not only vast resources, in
the growth OF staples peculiar to ITSELF but
which has, in additions, every element of wealth
possessed>by tie tree States. The North will, at
the same time discover that it has separated it,
self from - conntry, npon the productions OF
which it WAS actually dependent fer the prosper
ity o its largest interests, aud for the means of
atfording employment to its operatives ard occu-
pations to its mariners. 4gf e-flsfa3t4 r. .
So long as Maryland remaips with the North,
site must share the fate of the North.

from the Leomis Battery stopped them. Skir-
