OBITUARY

William CORTLAND Prentice died on
Mono day last at Augusta, Kentucky, Of
wounds received in the conflict at that
place on the preceding Saturday. He
perished in the cause OF the rebellion,
IL is not in the columns of a newspaper,
il is only in the family circle or in the
hush Of solitude, that the emotions OF
parent over such an event should have
utterance. The tears of weeping eyes,
and the ast-trickling drops Of bleeding
hearts are not for the public gaze. The
deepest agonies should be content 70 fold
their sombre wings in the soul Conso-
lation could not como from the worlds
sympathv il can be looked for only
from God and his angel Time. Nay,
there are griefs that time itself has no
novver ia alIav or soothe, griefs that like
! tl4rnruF5 streams are deepening their
channels forever.
VIM. CORTLAND Prentice was no COM
mon young man. He was remarkable in
his powers and his temperament. A
model of manly beauty, he had extraor-
binary intellectual energy, a strong thirst
for strange and curious knowledge, and
a deep passion for all that is sublime and
beautiful ia poetry and nature. He was
/ generous, manly, heightened and Of a
/ courage that mo- mortal peril, come in
what form ID might, could daunt, He
eXulted Ia looking destruction face 20.
| face in all It's ways. lie loved wild and
dangerous adventures for the very dam
| gers sake. li,s eagle spirit lived among
tne mountain crags aud shouted back TO
the shouts Of the storm Although kind,
unse fish, and humane, he was inapetu-
| Gus, passionate, aud of uncOuquerablc
preiudices, He was not unfrequenily
unjust IN his judgments, and he per-
mitled nothing to stand between him
and the execution of his purposes.
This young man, if he had always di-
rected his energies iudiciously, could
have made himself a distinguished orna-
meut in any profession in life. He might
have been an able and honOred states
man in the service of the republic But
an intense Southern sympathy, in spite
Of the arguments, the circumstances, and
the ontreaties Of those who dearly loved
him, made him an active rebel against
his country. Aud, after a bricf five
weeks service In the rebel ranks, he fell
soon TO breathe out his fiery life, receiv-
ing meanwhile, faraway from his family
the kindly minisrations Of those against
whose cause his strong right arm had
been raised. Oh if he had fallen in his
country's service, fallen wish his burning
eyes fixed in love and devotion upon th,
Tag that for more than three fourlhs of q
century has been a star of worship TO his
ancestors, his early death, though still
terrible, might have been borne by a
fathers heart but alas, the reflection thai
he fell in armed rebellion against tina
glorious old banner now the emblem c.
the e., atcst and hottest cause the world
ever knew, is full Of desolation and al
most despair
And yet we shall love 10 think o
CORTLAND Prentice, that brave and nobi
though misguided youth, during The it'll
remnant Of our lives. Our love for him
undimmed by tears and grief is aud vii
remain an amaranthiue Hover upon Ia
grave Of our buried years.

Our readers are already informed Of
tbe fact that Captain Prentice, son Of
the senior editor Of the Louisville Journal
was killed a few days ago, while leading
a Confederate company in an attack upon
the Federal force in Augusta, Kentucky.
Although few combatants were engaged,
the fight was one Of the most bloody and
lercely contested of the rebellion, and in
it fell Capt Prentice, mOrtally wounded.
How terrible tho intelligence must have
been to the loyal and afflicted parent
may be realized by many Of our legal
mothers and fathers, whose noble heart
ed, but impulisye and misguided sons,
once full Of promise, now sleep forever
in the untimely graves to which they
were lured by the demon Of rebellion.
With unresirained tears, of memory, for
tho dead, and of sympathy for the living,
will all such parents read the following
agonizing lament from the columns Of
Louisville journal, which, like that Of
DAVID OYER the body Of rebellious AnsA-
LON, as he slept in manly beauty and
in death" Would to God had died fol

Bragg Growinr Unnopu AZ.


One of the most thoroughly detested
men in robeldom is General Bragg. I'M
der the pretence of discipline he murders
his own soldiers for the most trivial
breaches of discipline. A short lime
since we published an account taken
from a Southern paper OF tho shooting Of
one of his best soldiers because he spent
a day with his wife and children, a few
miles from camp, after an absence Of six
months. Ii seems from the following

Rebel that Bragg has been severely CEN

AMERICAN DEGEEERA0Y.o
The SANDERS Of the London Times
Exposed at Home.

The London Tines of August OH
spoke Of Americans as degenerate and
insensate people, isolating Themselves
only that they may indulge their own
fierce vices uncontrolled" To this the
London Spectator, the ablest Of the Eng
lish weekly journals, makes the follow
ing reply, than which nothing could be
more complete:
vAeARIEs or EEGGIsH oPMIoN.
OF the many strange yagaries of Eng
lish opinion the strangest is that which
the Times on Wednesday embodied in
two strong words. That journal, which,
aware that its articles weigh in America
more heavily than dispatches, writes
every now and then as If II wanted war,
/ styled the Americans "this iuseneate and
/ degenerate people" To the hrst epithet
we take no objection, though il is scarce
! " one which applies 70 a race whose
most disagreesble quality, next 20 their
/ self conceit, Is their habitual "smarlness.
The civil war, simply as such, II, Of
| course, open TO any amount of reproba-
ton, even from men who, were India
again in revolt would support its sup
preston by any and every means short
Of depopulation. Misery is rarely Just
and the war creates among certain classes
degree and extent Of misery which
would account for any disgust and pal
late almost any yirulenco. Buthow sen.
able Englishmen, familiar with the his
tory and incidents Of the war. can draw
from them evidence Of American degen.
eracy is to us unintelligible. To u,
they seem on the contrary to relieve the
Americans from some of the seyerest re-
proaches which previously rested on
their national character.

There can be no doubt of the capture of
