 There is solace in the death of the young and pure. They go hence to the land ethereal, and thus are ffeed from the ills and perplexi- ties of this our transient life. We deeply sympathise with the family of the deceased. But few short months elapsed between the death of the father and daughter. Though the hand of afliction has visited their house. hold, may they bow in humble submission to the will of Hlm "whose ways are nor as our ways"

WHAT VIRGINIA HAS DoNE.-The Rich- mond Dispatch says:
 She has given herself for the battle ground of one and all; she has furnished nearly every pound of powder and most of the heavy ordi- nance that have been used between the Poto- mac and the Gulf of Mexico, she has seventy five thousand men in the field. In this connec- tion we may add that the labors of her Cover nor in common cause has been incessant. He has given himself, his time, his talents and his energies without stint to the glorious work We are persuaded that the Confederate Gov ernment can find no fault with Virginia nor with her Governor, but will promptly acknowl- edge that they have been in front rank and behind no other in tolls, struggles, and sacri- fees.

Aaairs in England.

Ohas. Francis Adams, as American Minis
ter 10 the Court Of st. James, has met the
British Lion iearlessly and with an avowal
Of purpose on the part Of his Government as
to the policy that will be pursued, which we
admire. He oensures in strong terms the at
tempt Of the British Ministry to decide upon
the vital guestionsA As Issue in this country,
before the Administration had an oppOrtuni-
" of explaining its position, in connection
with the rebels Of the South, and before they
had knowledge of her power TO crush oUt
the rebellion, at any time when she should
zee ft to do SO. This right our Government
had, and Mr.. Adams intmates strongly that
she viii demand ell her rights, and win not
permit any interference by Foreign Powers.
That there has beea sympathy among GER
tain portions of the business classes in Eng
land with the Southern movement, cannot be
denied. But that is no reason why British
diplOmatisis should take issue and declare
for the South. We have been fully satisfied
that when the true State of affairs were in
teIligently understood on that continent as
they could only be through the new repre-
sentative Of the Government of the United
States, this feeling would be materially
changed.
Certain powers in England were interested
in having the American ports open to free
trade. The South knew this, and taking ad-
vantage of the circumstances before the new
Administration came into power, and know
ing the crippled state Of the Federal Govern
nent and hoping for favorable effect in
England, made representations causing hssty
and inconsiderate expressions Of opinions on
the part of prominent diplOmatistS and oth-
ers, which placed the English Government in
q position apparently autagonistic to this
Government. .l
That Mr.. Adams win set the English gov
srnment right in this matter we have no
doubt A neutral position is only sought
for on the part Of foreign powers, until the
United States governmsntbas an opportunity
to show to the world, as she win, that the
government formed by Washington, is not to
be torn down by rebels and traitors.

The Regiments are called here the "Pauper

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial writes:
Indeed the general sobriety, constant po-
liteness and the accompanying self-respect of
the soldiers is most gratifying. If should
search for impoliteness here ! should not go
TO the camps among the private soldiers,
but to the departments where men have axes
of one kind or another to the ground.
Thousands of the private soldiers have the
faces of gentlemen of education and under
standing. is reported to be great
contrast between the southern officers and
priYates, in favor of the former. I have
seen regiments here in which think the
contrast is decidedly in favor of the privates
1t is a most interesting study to mark the
faces Of the men Of regiments as they arrive
and march up the avenue. You see high
plaloons of high-nosed, fTm-jswed, heavily
bearded, keen-eyed men who never left home
to 90 q soldering for the fun of the thing.
They have felt it duty to 60, to yindicste
the radiant old aag our fathers bore and
maintain the Government our fathers found
ed--and they will do it. OF course there are
q great many boys, but fewer then l expected
to zee, and dalmost without exception, they,are
substantial fellows, well muscled, hardy and
eager to see the glory of war. Napoleon was
partial to such soldiers.
Ask soldier on guard anywhere a civil
question, and you get civil answer. Step
into a hut and enter into conversation, and
you will find nearly all the men posted up
on all the questions of the day, and prepared
to discuss with quite as much intelligence as
the newspapers, the features of the campaign,
and the propable fortunes of The war. Their
tents are all full of newspapers and military
books, and their letter writing is something
prodigious. There is, am confident, but
little dissipation among the men, compared
with that usually found in armies. They are

youth from bis own mother, for the extraya-

and discerning. The Marines are very proud
Of him, and are violently debating the sort of
costume in which be shall be srrayed, and in
the meantime he is in several suits of several
sizes. This ingenious youth the other day
stole COW from mess, sWspped it of for
pie, ate the pie, stole back the COW and re-
turaed II, and was detected and well trashed,
the Ehole transaction occupying some twenty
minutes. The only work for which be ap-
