AMERICAN SLIPS IN THE GLIDE 1t Was
anticipated, ut the breaking out Of hostiltfes
between the Northern aud Southern States Of
America, that British shipping would be bene-
fitted to q very great extent by TIE with.
drawal from the general carrying trade Of
American vessels. which would haFethe effect
of raising freIgbts, in consequence Of the war
!lsk charged on these chips, and the probar
bility Of our merchants being chsry Of ship
ping In American bottoms on any terms from
lear Of non delivery Of their cargoes,. or the
CHARGES Of detention and stoppage, II not Of
obeolute seizure. The probability was, there.
fore, that the American flag, except il the le
cases Of the regular traders, would be almost
tanished from our ports. So tar are these
anticipations from being realized In this guar
ter, that we never, at an5 time, had 50 many
American ships in the Clyde ct one time as at
present. Not only those which have arrived
here with cargo are taking cargo outWards,
but many vessels have come here from other
ports, and are on the loading list, successfully
competing Eith our shipping for tIe:ghts,
risk, which the chip in most cases pays

Last Sunday quite u gloom was thrown over

A. Gnidry Of Capt. Ofntt's company, who had
been left behiud when the 9th regiment was
ordered to Fairfax Station. Poor fellow! his
was indeed a sad fate,-to die far from home
and relatives. not in the "carnage and excite
ment of battle but by u painful disease, in a
calm summer evening when all nature seemed
in repose. He had every attention that a
fellow soldier could extend him. Courteous
and heightened in his intercourse with his TEL
low men, kind, noble, aud generous TO laul',
he was deseryedly popular, and his nntlme'y,
death will sadden many q heart and dim many
an eye unused I'd tears,
Though we have had a good deal of sickness
principally measles, yet so far, we have been
SO fortunate as to have no death. AT present
some few are sick; but are all doing we'll. All
unite in sending their love to their friends
especially the ladies.

gloom, by the intelligence that one OF their
number hal gene 10 that undiscovered coun.
try, from whence no traveller returns
In the death of Toledan, the Confederate
S ares have lost a brave soldier, society a
bright ornames,t and his associates a reliable
friend. While we mourn the u%ntime|y vista
ton of the relentless destroyer. we cannot hut
acknowledge the justice and wisdom Of the d.
vine dispensa,ion, which has taken our beloved
friend from this probationary world, TO that
better land where perennial flowers forever
bloom, and ambrosial streams forever flow"
His bereaved relatives aud friends, with
whom we deeply %sympaihize, have at least the
consolation Of knowing that during his last
hours, he had every comfort which it was pos
sible for friendship to procure.
The devotion which g. r. Gordon manifested
for him, deserves and receives the warmest
commentator of the whole company. As soon
as Intelligence was received at Fairfax Station;
Capt. Otfutt called on the company for an
appropriation fOrs the pnrpoeeof sending his re-
mains home, Hut they might be buried beneath
the shade ofthe "druidical oaks ofhis beloved
Louisiana, in whose cause he so patriotically
offered his life as q sacrifice. The call was
promptly aud cheerfally responded 10.

should have fallen amid the roar of artillery,
the crack Of rifles and the clash of swords, We
could have borne it much better, than to have
seen him cut down in the flower Of his youth

cia'ing disease.
