OF RESPECT

At acSlled n Getting Of the Germantown Lodge Of free
aud Accepted Aasons, held for the pur ,ose Of paying a
tribute Of respect to the memory Of a deceased brother,
Dr.. J. n. N. CORNELIUS, the Lodge deemed 1t proper
to give some expression with regard to the life and
character OF the deceased, and accordingly announced
the following
DR.. CORNELIUS was one Of the oldest settlers o. this
place, and was well known, not only to the members Of
this Lodge, bat to the whole community. H3 was a
man Of decided genius possessing a mind at once con-
prehensivs, acute, vigorcJs ard discriminating. He
had a talent to anslyzs and master the most abstruse
subjects. and he was gifted with fansy CT rather with 3
strong and vivid imagination. His requirements were
varied and profound. Persons not well acquainted with
the subject Of this notice, might infer from the fsct q
his 7 emarksbls success in the practice Of medicine,
that his learning reached not beyoni the sppointed du-
ties Of his profession. A greater mistaks was sever
harbored. The truth is he w-s endowed by nature with
faculties adapted to the mastery Ct any profession OF
any business in life requiring great mental activity,
He could have shone is the forum or the Senate hal as
brightly as be did in his own profession q medicine.
BE was fond OF polite Literature. AMI vas studous IN
every branch Of phiossphy-natural, mental ard moral.
His conversational POWERS have rarely been oqualed
in the social circle all eyes were turned to him, and his
good hu1or and wit never failed TO please.
Blu. il is from auliher stand psiut that this Lodge
would rather view the character Of this remarkable
man. BIS benevolence was proveTbisl. he was fore
most in every enterprise for the promotion Of the LsF-
pinsss Of msnk nd. His motto seemed to be "our
home, ou- country and cur brother man" He
practiced charity almost 70 a fault. He went
open handed to the Psor man in distress. He was
nsver kntwa to sue a poor man Ju., on the contrary
would freely % his security for the payment Of his
debts to others. In wJ;d he Wa a Christian senue-
man-haviDg been @ member ef the Methodist church
FOR many years. In view OF the above
Res0Ired, l.. That this Lodge has sustained IN ire
parable loss in the death Of Bro her J. II. n. CoRNE-
LIUs.
2. That, while we shall ever lament the departure Of
our friend, we acknowledge lhat we should msekly and
hum5ly submit to the dscrees Of the great Architect Of
the universe,
3. That the members Of this ledge wear the usual
ba5gs Of mourning for a period Of thirty days.
4. That a cory OF tAis notice and these resolutions be
sent to the family Of cur deceased brother.
3. That the Memphis Christian Advocate and The
Memphis APPEAL be req rested to COPY the same.

THE GREAT Battle.
THE FoURTH ALABAMA REGIMENT STATE
MEET BY AN EYEWITNESS.
From tba Richmond yb;g I

From the Richmond Thig.1
This regiment, on the field Of Manassas, did
the work assigned to it perhaps as faithfully
and as effectually, performed as many deeds Of
heTo'e daring, and suffered as much as any
other regiment in the glorious, but hard fought
battle of the 21st instant. No mention has
yet been made Of its services by the Richmond
press but this is owing entirely, we believe, to
the want of authentic and reliable information.
1t is now ascertained that when the rattle
Of musketry and the roar Of cannon were first
heard, showing that a portion of our forces
had met with and engaged the b~irelings under
Mcdowell, this regiment (4th Alabama,) were
marched seven miles, without being able to get
a drop Of water, to the extreme left of the
line, where the enemy were attempting to con-
summate their thanking movement. Jaded and
weary from their long march, parched with
thirst and no time to recruit their exhausted
strength, they were at once plunged into the
very thickest Of the fight. Calamity, for more
than two hours, did this little band Of raw
volunteers-none Of whom, with a few excep-
tions, were ever under fire beRore-aaintain
their ground, holding in check nearly double
their number of the old United States veterans,
having three lines repulsed them with con-
siderable slaughter.
One OF the Northern prisoners, now in Rich
mond, says that at this time the regiment was
contending against about 1909 regulars,
nearly 200 Of whom were killed. twas at this
~iunetuTe that the regiment was ordered to fall
back to a position of greater security, when
first its colonel, E. J. Jones, next it's lieutenant
colonel, - Law, and then it's major, Charles
Scott-than whom 20 tTuer OF nobler men ever
went into battle-were wounded Col. Jones
severely and dangerously in the hip Lieut..
Col. Law in the arm, which was shattered near
the elbow and Major Scott in the lower POr-
tiOn of the leg.
As an indication Of the nature Of the fire I'M
der which this regiment stood and fought for
hours, it is only necessary to state that, out Of
about six hundred and fifty men, its entire
strength, there were about 200, nearly one
third, killed and wounded-many Of the latter
severely.
It was In this part Of the field that the Sc
cond Mississippi regiment and the Louisiana
battalion were almost cut to pieces. But for
every hundred sons Of the South that fell on
that eventual day, a thousand of the Northern
invaders bit the tustl

RICHMOND ITEMS.

The Richmond Wing, of the Sd instant; con-
tains the following items:
President Davis and family are now occupy
ing the mansion provided for them, at the cor
ner of CLAY and Twelfth streets, having taken
possession on Thursday. The house has been
put in complete order, and handsomely, but not
extravsgautly, furnished.
A gentleman Just from Washington, reports
that several peTsons in that city are engaged
in raising a company for the Confederate ser
vice. The day of retributiOn is approaching.
A regiment of Southern Iliin0isians will short
ly be rendered TO President Davis.
The female prisoner, brought to this city
Wednesday, proves to be a Mrs. Curtis, Of
Rochester, N. Y, sister of a member of the
Rochester regiment. She is quite young, but
by nc means prepossessiBg. The sleeves Of
her dress are OTnamenteii with yellow tape
cheyrons, and the Jockey hat which she wears
is tucked up on one side wi b a brass bugle, in
dicating military associations. She is quite
laxative, and does not disguise her anim0sity
against the South. Lodgings have been pro-
vided for Der in a private house.
The report which one may occasionally
hear on the street, to the effect that President
Davis has settled with Lincoln for the spoils
taken upon the plains of Manassas is ex-
planned by the circumstance that the former,
as commander-in-chief Of the confederate
army, rave old Scott 9 check on the baa6 Of the
Poto nae.
One of LiRcOlD's lieatenants is a fellow
named Michael Kelly, Of Washington, who
was employed for some time as book-keeper In
the Office Of The South; a journal published in
this city same years since by Hon. Roger A.
Pryor. He made strong professions OF at
tachment to the southern cause while here.

Further Transfer of Arkansas state
Troops.

has the following;
OF the ten regiments called out By The mill
tary board, eight have been quite or nearly or
gained. Some have not vet elected their Off
GERS, but, as we have heard, the regiment at
Springfield elected 7 D. Merrick colonel; that
OF Craighead county elected Grayson, and that
Of Pine Bluff the Rev. John w. Bradley
The eight regiments, so raised, have been
transferred to the Confederscy. Mr.. J,ison
P. Johnson went to Richmond and received
authority to effect a further transfer from cur
State. Upon his request, as agent Of the Con-
fedeTate States, the board promptly turned
over these regiments upon the same terms as
the former transfer to General Hardee. The
State is to arm them as well as she can, with
rifles and shot guns; to clothe them, and to act
as an auxiliary to the Confederscy. This ac-
ton of the board will be commended by all.
