HUSH our Colonel lies i'm slumber-
Folded close in Deaths cold arms;
never more he'll join our number,
never more near wars alarms.
FRANK oV nature-brave and loyal-
Dea.I ~ loved and priced was he;
NO W bis wreath IL more than royal
In our hearts enshrined he'll be.
Never more the drums swift beating,
Nor the clarion trumpet shrill,
Shall arouse him from his sleeping
And his breast with ardNr fill,
He was loved by all his brothers
In the camp-none more than he;
Everything he shared with others,
Now we claim ''his memory
And the Seventy first will cherish
All his virtues, all his aims
IL In battle we should perish,
Doing what stern duty claims,
He will gaze with satisfaction,
Smiling as he used to smile,
To reward our noble action,
And be proud Of us the while
Wrap our glorious flag around him,
Let the Stripes and Stars be seen,
Whilst his comrades who surround him,
Swear to keep his memory green"
Then will his proud soul elate him
Higher still, to camps above,
Where the anger-warrors wait him,
And a sword of perfect love.

under the guard Of honor, consisting of Com.

Communicative are Informed that MANY
Of the Chaplains of the several Regiments Of
soldiers now In our city, as well as the eight bat
taiions OF our own troops have had the couriesies
and services of the Rev. Robert KeIIen, Acting
Cha plain 10 our own troops, extended to them
and all by the good Judgment Of Gen Mansfield
IL Is understood that this clergyman is well quail
fed for the position of chaplain, having himself
risen from the ranks to be staff officer and there
fore II is hoped that the proper authorities NAV
appreciate his faithful and needed services aud
commission him Surprise has been felt that orr
own three regiments OF men should be destitute
OF chaplain, when some of the regiments from
abroad have two chaplains to one regiment It's
desirable that that the morals of our men may be
preserved by all proper Influences. [1tl b.

TENDER CONSCIENCE Through a member
OF Dr. Norwoods congregation we have the fol.
lowing The Star Of yesterday states that Dr.
Norwood, OF Christ Church, Georgetown, has for
some time past omitted the usual PRAYER for the
President, and substituted for II petition for his
health and personal prosperity. The fact Is this:
DR. Norwood used the prayer just as it is, only
rest Of the prayer he considered 1t bis duty to use
He could not, without violating his conscience
pray for the Presidents pros perty in the present
attitude Of affairs, and therefore omitted IT, rather
than act the hypocrite."
