sThUNTOE 1sPEGTAToR AND GENERAL qADVERTIsEB

E The following feeling and well-deserved
tributes to the memory Of JoAB HORACE SEELY,
a brave and noble soldier, written by W. 5. H.
Baylor, Major of the 5th Virginia Regiment, and
James II. Waters, Captain OF the West Augusta
Guards, will cause a thrill of sorrow to fill the
hearts OF all who knew the deceased:
MANASSAS, July 22d, 1861.
Ny DEAR MRS. SEELY :-Yo our dead son reaches
you to-day, and / feel it my duty to speak a
word of comfort to you. Poor JoAB fell nobly
in advance of his companions, gallantly charging
upon the enemy. His course during the fight was
that of hero. He fought bravely- died nobiy.
Do not mourn his loss too much, God has taken
him to his home. You know how good boy he
was; as he lived so he died. God will raise you
up friends to fill his place, and l pray He will
comfort you in your sad bereavement.
Your noble boy is dead, but be it your conso-
lation he died fighting for liberty-a martyr to the
glorious cause. Your friend,
W. S. Fl. BAYLOR.
p S-But few moments before Dab fell, he
said to his friend Mr.. Joseph N. Ryan, who was
fighting by his side--ssI am prepared to die-i
expect to die--if do and you live, tell my Mo-
ther died fighting bravely." These are glorl-
Gus words for a dying soldier to use.

A correspondent of the New York Journal O
Commerce writes.
| The great number Of peace meetings now be-
| ing held over the country are most significant
anG the studied efforts of the ultra war journal
lists to suppress all information concerning them
evinces wholesome dread of their Influence
The people are waking up. The reign Of terror
no longer awes them into silence IG is beeoin=
ing very evident that the voice of the farmers,
mechanics and merchants of the rural districts
is not for q vindietive or abolition war. They
have no profits TO make from contracts with
Government, and seek no share in the uDcean
drippings of public plumber, These peace meet
ings are Of course quite alarming 10 those who
are accommodating magnificent fortunes as jobbers,
contractors, suffers, aud camp followers. Pace
will put an end to the selling of old vessels,
shoddy clothing, wooden soled shoes, tainted
pork, beet, &c, to the Government. at three,
four, or five times their value. There will be
10 longer an inviting field tor agents and middle
men, who divide the spoils with the contractors
and iobbers, or shave the soldiers ot per cent
age on their rations and wages. Ii we have
peace, these wornout party hacks and soldiers of
fortune, who continue to put themselves proini-
nenty forward on every committee WHICH has
the handling OF large sums OF mouey, will lose
their golden opportunities for amassiUg fortunes
Such may we'll threaten to hang those who favor
peace. For, to them, when war ceases. ''Othel-

DIED.

In Staunton, ON Sunday evening last of hemor-

Greys, of Edinburg, Shenandoah county, Va.
In Charleston, Kanawha county, Va, on Tuesday
the 23d of July, Orderly Sergeant CASPER O. RRAN-
HER, son of Capt George Branner, decd, of Rocking
ham county. He died of typhoid fever, at the house
of Mrs. Rogers, and received every attention that
kindness could suggest or friends perform for him.
At his fathers residence, near Rockland Mills, in
Rockingham county, on Thursday, the Sth of August,
JOSEPH VIM LEVEL, son Of James Level, aged 90 yrs,
II months and 25 days He was in the army at Win
CHESTER was taken with the fever and reached home
but ten days before he died. He was member of
Capt. Harris company of Port Republic. e-
Suddenly, at Manassas, on the 28th of July, Mag.
NUS S. GRAVES, in the 18th year of his age. y
Seldom, do record the death of so young,
possessing so large share of those excellencies OF
character which universally win esteem and affection
as the subject of this notice. Il 4..ttr5 .,ae = u
Among our earliest Sabbath School reminisences in
this town. the cheerful face and playful of
the falr-ha1red boy, Mag. GRAVES, as he was known
and called by all. BIZ
His arge-heartedness and native amiabilty of dis
position manifested whenever, and wherever he was
seen won not only esteem, but particular atten-
tions, which were always acknowledged in way to
increase and strengthen attachment to him; nor
nlS Suue the maZeS OF yOutn, anQ MS re
moyal from the quiet of home, and the soften
ing restraints of mothers presence to the hardening
of strife and bloodshed destroy dim the
tive excelences of character which marked his boy
hood. We have the testimony of his brave and gene
rous Capta and others for it, that he was ''good
boy" to the last.
Mag. was member of the Methodist Church, and
his professions BEFORE amidst and after the ter
bic conflict of Manassa and the testimony of those
intimately associated with him, afford all consoine
proof that he passed QuieGly and perhaps without
pang, from the Church below to that above.
The thought that he has done well his part in the
great work now engaging all Southern hearts and
hands, and gone to the enjoyment of that rest which
shall never be disturbed by exciting conflicts the
harasslng demands of painful labors, and to the pos
session OF that peace which shall never, never be bro
ken, should reconcile ali to his early sudden death
Then, mother, sisters brothers, join amidst your
tears and sorrows in the hearty Amen that swells
the bosolls Of guardian angels as each struggling
heir of salvation quits the of his tolls and
cts earth to enter upon that rest which remaIneth
for the people of God in Heaven. Dxxxx.

What Virginia has done.


The Southern Confederacy has 100000 soldiers
in the service, and Virginia has furnished more
than one fourth of chat number. She has fur
nished, also, rge proper. ion ofthe ''Sinews OF
war" in the form Of money. We learn from the
Richmond Examiner that "lhe State of Virginia
has furnished the Confederate service 750 COM
panies, uniformed and equipped, according TO
the law. The average number of men for these
companies, is Is men to each. They make an
aggregate of 55,250 volunteer soldiers from the
State of Virginia, now in tile ranks of the Con
federate army and actually in the field. They
are divided into ffty-three regiments of infantry
five of artillery, seventeen bodies of mounted
men. Besides the corps, this State has furnish
ed the temporary service of large masses of mil.
itia, many thousands of men for home defense
and great number ofpersons who have employ
ed themselves in guerilla warfare, and in tending
the wounded, who are not numbered on the rolls
of the army. The actual number of Virginia
troops on these rolls, we repeat, are neither
more nor less than 81, ,25O, privates aud officers
so much of manhood. Ia money the State
has not been les LIBERAL The Cony ention ap-
propriated the sum 100000 of dollars to the
public defence, and 100000 of dollars have
beea actually advenced by the State Government
TO the Confederate service. Such is the official
statement. The contributions of the various
counties and of private individuals cannot be
etated with the same accuracy. But they are
sufficiently well known to enable US to state
with authority that they exceed 100000 of
dollars"

Meeting of the staunton Artillery.

At a meeting of the Staunton Artillery, helG
at their camp near Manassa, on the 30th day O
July, 1861, the following preamble and resolu-
tions were unsnimously adopted:
WHEREAS, It las pleased Almighty God, il
His inscrutable Providence, to remove from the
ranks of this Company its youngest member
MAGNUs s. GRAVES, we deem ir privilege nc
less than a duty, TO place upon record an appro-
pirate tribute to his memory. Therefore,
ResotUed, That in the death OF private Graves
this Company has lost a brave soldier, useful
member, and q companion in arms, whose bouy-
ant and cheerful temperament enlivened the
camp, and whose peculiarly kind and acoommo-
dating disposition, secured the attachment of all
his comrades
Resoloed, That while we mourn the loss of one
of our members thus unexpectedly taken from
oDr midst, after passing unscathed through the
perils Of TWO battle fields, we bow submssively
to the will of Him who ''doth all things well. y
and would not fail to recognize the distinguish
ing mercy which has heretofore watched over
us-no member having been before taken since
the date OF our organization.
Resolped, That we tender to the bereaved fam
lily of the deceased our sincere sympatbies in
their affection, and that copy of this preamble
and resolutions be forwarded to his widowed
mother and mourning relatives and friends.
Resoloed, That this Company defray the bur-
ial expenses of private Graves.

Another Victory.

The Southern forces have gained another bril-
liant victory. On the 10th inst about 8 miles
from Springfield in Missouri, the Federal forces
under command of Gen'l Lyon, attacked ou
forces under the command of the famous Ber
McCulloch, and we're defeated and routed witt
heavy loss. 1t seems to have been re-enaot
ment of the scene at Manassas. The Northern
dispatches report Gen1 Lyon killed, AID admit
loss Of 800 in killed and wounded They ad.
nit also that they made hurried retreat and
that panic prevailed at st. Louis, similar to
that which prevailed In Washington City after
the battle Of Manassas
We have seen but one Southern dispatch in
regard to this battle and that reports the loss OF
the Federals in killed and wounded at 5000, and
the Southern loss in killed and wounded at
1000. -"

The Sick in Stannton. .

There are now about 500 sick soldiers in
Staunton. They are generally. from Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia. Staunton is now the
great Hospital for tie Western Army. The dis
eases are pneumonia, lneasels, mumps. typhoid
fever and .Gysentery. Every possible attention
is shown to the afflicted. The ladies of the town
(God bless them u minister ,teDderly to- their
wants as far as possible. With lavish lberallty,
they have emptisd their larders, their storer
rooms aud their purses, tosadt. their comfort.
But their supplies are we'll iagI exhausted, asd
it would be well ii their sisters Of the South,
would contribute their mites to the relief of the
suffering soldiers. There is no point West .of
Stannton whore the sick can be properly cared
for. Hence all who are in condition to be
moved are sent to Staunton, and the number of
patients is rapidly augmenting. A dozen nurses
could find ample and useful employment in the
Hospital and jellies and other little luxuries for
the sick, would be very acceptable. q.aolc
