Tribute of Respect.
ARMY OF THE Norm WEST,

Cdmp "DdFnes, augusta 20. va.
AT meeting OF the Red River Company of Vol
unteers in Col. W. A. Forbes Regiment Tennessee
Volunteers held this day at this place, we were
saddened Mt the intelligence of the death of two
members of our company, both of Montgomery co.
Tennessee: Gus. L. Pride, who departed this life
at the Hot Springs Bath county, Va, on the night
of the nth of December, 1861, and Boswell G.
Murphy, who diei at the same place only two days
thereafter. Wccheris,i them in our memory as two
of best soldiers who have gone to report at the
Headquarters of the God of Battles, at whose hands
we trust they will meet with that justice which
they deserve, as good soldiers and faithful
sentlues.
a committee of three were appointed to draft
resolutions suitably expressing heartfelt regrets
at the vacancy caused in ranks by their removal
The following report was unanimously adopted by
the Company;
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God to call
from our ranks our fellow-sodiers G.. l.. Pride and
r. c. Murphy it becou us not az brave soldiers TO
mourn their removal or murmur at their being
called from duty here to answer to q call from Su-
preme Authority. They were among the earliest
volunteers in defense of their country-they an
swered promptly to the call in that case as in
this-they were willing to undergo the hardships
Of campaign in Western Virginia. But an All
Wise General has sesn proper TO call them away ;
therefore,
Resolved That their parents mourn their loss as
dutifu sons our country as brave defenders OF her
rights; our company has lost two of its most gal
liant members, who were promptly at their posts
and faithful in the discharge Of their duty.
ResOired That we deeply sympathize with their
parents and relatives in this hour of bereavement.
These are the first members of our company whose
death we have been called upon to mourn since we
entered the campaign in Virginia. We sorely feel
this loss-how much greater is the grief of their
parents and relatives, who will accept our condo
lcnCe
Rssoloed, That these proceedingns be published
in the Clarksvle Chronicle and Jeffersonian and
that the families of each be furnished with a copy.

TIsE STRANGERS DEATH.

~
No mother bends, with tender care,
To kiss his burning brow
No father kneels in silent prayer
Beside the sufferer now.
No sisters gentle voice Is near,
In accents mild and low,
To breathe into his languid ear,
The love that sisters know.
Far from his land, and friends and home
Across the Missssppis wave,
His restless spirit babe him roam,
To find strangers grave.
The dews Of death are on his brow,
He feels the tyrant's power
But hsrkl he speaks of kindred now,
In his last trying hour.
"0b, Texas dearest, best beloved
Land Of my fathers home
Tho from thee have vainly roved,
To thee I'd come, I'd come.
nLand of the mountains, heath and streams,
Far DER Mississippi's white foam,
Ye linger in my dying dreams "-
My Texas, and my home.
"Iiow gently could sink TO rest
If but my dying gaze
Could rest on those, the kindly blest,
The loved of other days.
"Ah We are there but this is death
Friends. am with You still,
And must ! yield this fleeing breath
In last and sad farewell
~ Rust-I must-then fare ye well,
Home and loved kindred too
Death soon will break this LIES vain spell;
Friends of my youth, adieu
Beneath the prairie sod he sleeps
The Wild flowers DER him wave;
Few friends or kindred there to weep
His is a strangers grave.

brought all that the heart could desire of hsppi-
ness and content: to others, it was the bearer of
woe and anguish. hAnylwho entered upon it with
oil the hopes and prospects of liennd pleasure, tha,
any Of us can now indulge, have seen those hopes
wither and themselves have fallen under the blight
OF death. The longrsought springs Of eternal
youth and health, whose waters many had hoped
TO reach, have either never been found or II
reached, have proved butmiuged streams of bit
terncss and sweets, over whichsthe heart sunk in

grow and bloom into flowers Of happiness that no

The beautiful and youthful bride is laid
in the dust, the joyous husband is over

hopeful parents are deprived of their only
child
The large concourse that attended the
funeral and followed her remains to the

Tudor, in his life of James Otis, speak
ing of the promptness with which the peo-
pie everywhere turned out to rush to The
defense of their country at the news of the
battle of Lexington-a readiness and en-
thusasm which met a parallel wear ago
when Massachusetts heard of the Baltimore
massacre-relates the following incident:
Among other examples that might be
telated, the following is from living wit
ness: The day that the report of this affair
reached Barnstable, company of militia
Immediately assembled and marched off to
Cambridge. In the front rank there was
a young man, the son of respectable far
mer, and his only child. In marching
from the village, as they passed his house
lie came out TO meet them. There was
momentary halt. The drum and fife paused
for an instant. The father, supervising
strong and evident emotion, said: God
be with you all, my friends! And, John,
If you, my son, are called into battle, take
care that you behave like a man, or else
let me never see your face again!' A tear
startled into every eye, and the march was
resumed"
The writer of this paragraph remembers
hearing, when boy, an old gentlsman,
then in high legal position in Massachu-
sets, read this passage from the life of OTIS,

it has been continually carried on. In 1924
the slave trade was declared piracy, and
the right of search granted by both Eng

search on our coast. This prevented the
