On the 24th ult, in this place, after lin.
gering Illness JOHN PURCELL, son of DR.
A. J. Atkinson, aged 7 years, month!
and days.
Weep not for those whom the veil of the tomb
In lfe'S happy morning, has hid from our eyes
Fer sin threw light er the spirits YOUNG brow
Or earth had proflined what was born for the st1ies
Moore.
o thou hast gone in youths bewitching bloom,
To deaths dark stnes and the lonely tomb
When the broad path of life before thee lay
Bright as sweet dew drops on the wing of Nav.
JOY hoyered round thee with thrilling tone.
And bright DER thy path her radiance shone;
The dwelling of thy boyhood eer must be
Lonely and soTowful, tereft of thee.
o neer again thy winning tone shall come,
Or thy sweet smile, dspeliing care and gloom;
All, all is hushed, for death claims thee now
And placed his signet on thy marble brow.
The arms of mother earth are round the pressed
And thou wilt calmly slumber on her breast
As quiet, holy, incense-breathing SPELL
Doth thy dear name III proudest b0sems dwell
Yet thou art happy now-al care is fed,
And sunbright glory circles thy young head,
Thongh lghtnings flash, and tempests madlv fave
And loud winds howl around thy early grave,

R9~Ono of the Ohio regiments recently
elected the Rev. Granville Moody, a well
known Methodist preacher of that State,
their chaplain. When their choice had
been declared, they sent to Brother Moody
to ask him if he would 90. He replied
Why, yes, he would like to be their chap
lain-but with one condition, that they
would furnish him with a muSket; for,
said he, in our Methodist communion we
do not believe in faith without works. -
The Rev. Mr., Moody was furnished with
a musket, but it is doubtful whether his
sermons would not be found quite as effec-
tual in soaring atoay the enemy.

FsAThe Border State Convention, in ses-

committees to prepare General Address to
the People of the United States, and also an
Address to the Border States.
ssA-John Dooley and Joseph Hood, arrest
ed by the United States Marshall, on war;

Commissioner, charging them with treason
in enlisting and bearing arms against the
United States at Point of Rocks and Harper

EGTThe monster Union" gun, recently
cast at the Fort Pitt Works, Pittsburgh, has
been completed, and is now removed to the
Pennsylvania Railroad depot, whence it will
be shipped to Washington, and thence to Old
Point Comfort, with as little delay as possi-
BILE. 1t is intended for Fortress Monroe, and
will be put in position Immediately on its ar,
rival at that point. The " Union" is heavier
than the Floyd" and will throw ball be-
tween six and seven miles. 1t is perhaps the
heaviest piece of iron artillery ever manufac-
tured, and the result Of the experiments
which it is proposed to make with it will be
looked for with interest.

THE WAR NEWS.

We give in another column such details
as may be considered authentic relative to
the war movements There are now about
$4,000 troops at Chambersburg, the same
number at Fortress Monroe, a still larger
force at Washington city and its vicinity
while Gen. Mcclellan is evidently advan-
cling east from Wheeling The forward
movements of these armies will enclose
Harper's Ferry, shut up Norfolk on the
land side, and drive the Southerners be-
yond the Rappahanock, if not Richmond
1t looks good deal as if Scott intends to
starve them out, or else to make them risk
a forward movement from Richmond with
Butler in their rear. The arch trait
or Davis is now in Richmond. Troops
continue to arrive at Washington daily.

Additional Foreign News-CommeMts on
-,. LincOln's Message.

SD l.. -.,.; rrA H. CAPE RACE, July 20.
The following is additional to the Airi-
cas- news, already telegraphed
The English journals criticise Mr.. Lin
coins message. The London Times says it
altogether confirms the impression produced
by the first message, and thinks be has not
weighed all chances OF an internecine war.
The Times foresees, as bystander, that the
recognition of Southern independence is the
issue in which, after infinite loss and humi-
iation, the contest must result. The London
Pilot says at this date it is idle to argue on
the question of legal rights. 1t is for the
Government to put down resistance as soon
as possible. 1t predicts an obstinate and
sanguinary struggle, and while protesting
personal sympathy for the opponents of
slavery, rejoices at England's strict neu>
trality. sa
The Daily Nevs eulogizes the message,
and says it sets at rest the question of COM
promise, and the Government is now in a
position to secure by its energetic action
the sympathy of foreign powers. !

The steamer Maclay, bound to st. Louis,
was fred into at the mills, hall mile above
Cape Girardeau, last night. She having
landed at the wharf and received her load,
apprehended No trouble whatever. The fir
ing caused surprise, as the 18th Illinois is
located in that town, and it is hardly prob
able that they did it. One boy was killed,
and two men wounded. About one hum
bred men of the 9Th Illinois, three months
men, were on board. All escaped.
Through woman the discovery was
made to day of party of twenty four Sc

their arrest and Imprisonment we're without

illegal. NV

that disagreements of the two Houses will
be avoided by striking out nine per cent. in
certain cases, and substituting six. Also,
modifying sub-treasury also, that instead
of gold and silver being Immediately paid
into the treasury, as now required, money
derived from the loan may remain out in
pursuance of law.
MIR. Conkling inquired whether the COM
mittee retained duties from Virginia coffee,
sugar, &C., as pledge for loan.
