Dana H. Whitney,

1t is with painful and deep.lelt sorrow, that
we announce the murder Of D. II. Whitney,
our friend and correspondent, at Newport News,
Va, by the rebels. A tecgraphc dispatch
was sent here, during our absence at the State
Convention, by our friend, Fred. 0. Farms
worth, Esq, of New York, stating that d.
II. Whitney was shot at Newport News,
which set the citizens here in motion to-
learn more about it-when, where and how he
was shot. The circumstances Of Mr.. Whitney'S
death are nearly as follows In company with
Aug. Becker, who we believe is quarter master
Of COL Bendixs regiment of New York troops,
he started from Newport News, mounted on
mule, with the intention of visiting Hampton,
which is al out seven miles distant. When they
had gone about five miles and had reached
point in the road where the trees and under.
brush we're very thick, nine shots were fired at
them from the bushes. At the fourth shot
Becker, being ahead, turned and said to Whit
ney, who had his mule at full gallop, "Whit'
ncy, look sharp !" At this instant Whitncys
mule wheeled and galoPed back and Beckcr's
fell. The latter took to the bushes, and made
good his escape to camp, suPposing his conf
panon to be safe with his mule. A party of
men out after cattle, and hearing the firing,
started for the locality from whence the sounds
came to ascertain the cause After marching
rapidly for nearly an hour they found straw
hat, and halt mile further on they discovered
Whitney lying dead in the road lie road
about three-(ourths of mile after being shot
He was Immediately taken to camp and upon
examination it was found that he had several
buck shot in his left arm, and one, supposed to
be the fatal one, in the armpit Mr., Whitney S
death has cast gloom over the whole brigade,
and no wonder it does, for to know him was
enough to appreciate his worth His body
vas brought here for interment on the % ult.
Mr.. Whitney had been connected with the
press in one way or another from boyhood, for
which he had natural talent He was q man
more deeply versed in the political history Of the
country, for he had retcniye memory, than
any other within the circle Of our acquaintance.
His talents were of the first ordcr,-a good
conversaionalst, and his pen, whenever he
welded it was marked by the reflection Of a
powerful mind, and the purest patriotism. No
man was wiser in council-none more devoted
to the lasting interests Of his country. His in.
tellectual strength his genial and generous
heart, his true and steady friendship, and his
ready wit, made him the fayorite Of every
circle, whether Of Old or young, As friend, he
had not his superior and the unpretcnding
example Of bis well spent life, although he took
no thought Of to morrow, but lived up to that
scripural injunction, give US this day our
daily bred, will tell upon the whole communi.
ty, long after the hand that traces these lines
shall have moudered into dust.
"Few hearts like his with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so nformd;
Ifthcres another world, he lives in bliss;
lfherc is none, he made the best Of this"

The Boston Post says it is narrowing to read
the statements that our brave troops suffered
the torrents of hunger and thirst in addition
to the danger of battle. Their mouths were so
dry and parched that they could only moan in
anguish. Their rations had been insufficient
their canteens were dry, and the sun was pour
ing down its fcrcest rays. Yet they fought on
until seized with the panic, and then, unabIe
to flee, gasped at the roadside, exhausted, suffer
ing and abandoned, 1t is sill more narrowing
to read that the loafng civilians escaped safely

There is one rule that is always certain in its
application that rule s-jt is easier to establish
an error than to eradicate it, Conservative
Republicans find this cminontly true in the
present crisis. They have had view Of the
yaTniug abyss into which Aboltionism and
Intervention is dashing our Republic, and they
start back in alarm and cndeavor to avert its
inevitable destruction by their warning cries.
But theirs is a wing of the Republican party
who are told by their founder that party plat.
forms are subordinate to the Union, yet Mr.
Seward finds that too many who have been led
astray by his past false teachings are unwilling
to rolinquish their faith even for fifty Unions.
Such men are aboring for disruption because
there is enc negro to every $4,000 square miles
of Territory. But We hope the revolution in
public sentiment that is now actively working
in the minds of others who assisted in rolling
up the nearly two millions of votes 10 establish
great error will have the important result of
overcoming Fanaticism and restoring Common
Sense where it has not prevailed for the last
six years.
