The national Republican., 1861-05-25

Augustus Haight, of New York Robert II.
Morris, and Colonel Slower, Of New York.
Lieutenant Colonel Farnham will succeed
Colonel Ellsworth in the command Of the Zou.
ave regiment.
THE FIREMES.
The flags on all the engine houses we're
placed at halfmast yesterday, in honor Of Col.
Ellsworth. The steeple of the Franklin en-.
gine ehouse is neatly draped in mourning, and
the cornice and windows are also hung in black.
As most Of the fremen are members Of the va.
rious military companies, a general parade Of
the iremen on the occasion Of the departure Of
the remains Of Col. Ellsworth has been found
to be impracticable. Under these circum.
stances, they have thought it best to send
delegation to the funeral, as q mark of respect
to the gallant Colonel.
THE WASHINGTON MILITARY.
The noble manner in which the District mil.
itary behaved throughout the whole affair shows
how utterly fraitless we're the hopes of the sc.
cession leaders that any Of them would fail to
do their whole duty when the crisis came.
From first to last, their whole course has
been one of unshrnking fidelity to the Stars
and Stripes, and total disregard Of the great
labor which 1t has been found necessary to i'm.
pose upon them. All honor, then, to our gal.
liant Washington military!
RUMOR OF AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
II was currently reported, last night that,
while the sixty.ninth regiment, Of New York,
Colonel Corcoran,) was reconnoitripg on the
Orange and Alexandra railroad, rumbling
noise, like the movement Of cars, was heard in
the distance, which caused the regiment to lay
in ambush, along the road in order to discover
If possible, what it might be. In a short time
two locomotives, with twenty-five cars attached,
approached, when they instantly stopped, and
those within, reported to be three hundred and
fifty armed secessionists, we're arrested by order
of Colonel Corcoran.
CHARACTER OF JACKSON.
jackson has, for long time, been terror
to the Alexandrians. He is the same man who
led the crowd which cut down the pole at Oc.
coquan, and who cut an ear from the body Of
John Brown after he had been hung.
OBITUARY.
In Memoriam-Col. E. E. ELLSWORTH.
Drape the escutcheon, shake out the pail,
Mufhs the bell, hang Grape on the we'll;
The great and good, the wise and strong,
All are hurrying, hurrying on,
To the grave where all must sleep ere long.
Run up the flag half mast high,
|
| One Of our number Is taken away,
Whose memory is like summers day
Declining, leaves its parting ray.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
No sculptured urr, nor marble bust
But deeds Of valor daringly done,
Battles fought and victory won:
These will outlve the lettered stone.
