Ar1xr
Lieutenant ]. l.. Flenper, of the First
United States Infantry, who was drowned
on Saturday night last, will be buried this
afternoon. Lieutenant f. was a member of
the old Rover Guards, and acted as corporal
during their three-months campaign in
Eastern Virginia. When at Camp Upton
he received a commission as Lieutenant in
| the cavalry company of Lieutenant Tomp-
kins, noted for their galantcharge through the
lines OF rebel force at Fairfax Courthouse,
| previous to throwing forward troops toward
the above place. The appointment was sub
| sequently changed to the First Regular In
fantry, and he was promoted from Second to
| First Lieutenant after passing most salts
| factory examination by the Board of Military
| Examiners at Washington. He came back
| to this city to recruit men, and was engaged
in that business up to the time of his DEATH
He was young man of more than ordinary
merit, and was esteemed by all who knew
him. His funeral will be attended by the
Rovers, in citizens dress, and also the Oincin-
natl Lodge, No. 3, of the Independent Order
| of Odd-fellows, to which society he was
attached. A number of the old Zouave
| Guard will also attend the funeral.
FOR LOUISVILLE.
The cavalry company mentioned yesterday
left to-day at twelve o'clock on the mail
| boat Major anderson. They are fine look
ing body of men.
SUGGESTION.
The boats carrying the mail between our
| city and Louisville have not a weapon on
| board 10 defend themselves against an at
tack. A body of fifty armed men can cap
ture either of them, and steal the mails and
whatever money may be on board. Let the
Government provide against any such raid,
| and supply the boats with artillery or mus
kets. Almost any trip from fifty TO one
| hundred men can be found on board who
would use musket in defense of the boat
| Provide against an impending evil at once;
| do not wait to study the theory, but act at
once-supply the boats with arms, and if the
rebels undertake to capture either of them,
they will meet with warm reception.
| TO BE PAID OFF.
| Paymaster Howard Matthews is about pay
ing off the First and Second Kentucky Regi-
ments The members of the former regiment
are requested to meet at 296 West Fifth
street tomorrow morning at eight o'clock,
to march to the Verandah, where they will

lin, and receive their pay from Paymaster

be on hand.
