The Soldiers Widow and oFpnauS.
In another column We present stirring and
pathetic appeal in behalf Of the bereayed and
destitute family of the late Captain McMur-
ray OF the Irish Brigade, Of this city, recently
deceased in service in Missouri To the fer
vency and eloquence Of this statement little
needs to be added. Captain McMurray WAS a
gallant soldier, aud q man loyal, b.ave and
true. To his zeal, discretion and selfsacrifce
was the origin and present efficient existence
Of the Irish Brigade mainly due. To no
ether person more than himself, and none
equally share the honor with him, belongs
the credit Of the formation Of this fine regi-
ment.
For the sake Of the. country, he sacrificed his
private interests, closed his office and ex-
changed the forum for the field. He has fall"
en- in the outset Of the campaign. Never was
there better time to honor the brave depart-
ed soldier than now, nor worthier instance
offered than the present If there is mean
ing and truth In the pledges made on every
hand By the public to cur noble volunteers,
that, happen what may, their .5anaiiss shall not
suffer, the family Of Captain Francis McMur-
ray are now to be generously aided, not as q
charity, nor grudged dole, but as NEED
well eazned-a debt discharged from which the
community will not shrink, the sacred right
OF those bereaved ones, whose protectors fall
In the service Of their country.

The further talk on the street was confined to
mere local matters. The weather was most aus
picious for general turn out and we are not so
sure but that large majority of our citizens took
advantage of the occasion. OF commercial move
rnents there was very little talk, There was some
intimaton of an arrival from a foreign port,
bat talking on these arrivals is prohibited. But
we are frequently asked how it is there are 80
many strangers in our city, and are walking our
streets daily. From where and whence do they
come; what is their business here? Our military
companies and associations ought to be filed by
this time--that is, for the regular service. 1t is
about time that every person arriving incur city
should be required to report at the Adjutant'
Generals office. If every person leaving the city
Is required to make himself known, the rule ought
to apply to every one entering it. The time is APP
preaching when it should be known :" who is who"
The telegraph was remarkably silent yesterday.
After promulgating SO much nensense as ii did last
week, it is reasonable that it should suspend.
There was some talk about Messrs slidell and
Mason, but nothing OF a defined character has
come to hand from Washington City.
There was some enquiry whether Postmaster
Ridde intends to exact specie in payment for
rent of the Post-offce boses the coming year. The
rent expires to-day; will he condeseend to inform
the public what he will receive fer rent or hire.
The foreign MAIL or mail for all countries out
side the Southern Confederaey, leaves McKeevers,
the Southern Express office, Camp street, to-
morrow morning. Letters should be left or de-
posted at the Office to-day, which is kept open to
late hour in the evening to receive all documents,
letters, papers, and so on, which will reach their
destination.
