COLONEL CHARLES ELLET, JR.

Colonel Ellet, who died last Saturday
morning, from the effects of his wound
received in the late engagement before Mem.
phis, was a native of PENNSYLVANIA, and born
in Penn Manor in 1910. His parents were
Charles and Mary Ellet, the latter of whom
is still living in this city, at the advanced
age OF eighty-two years.
Colonel Ellet passed his youth in and near
our city. At a very early age he visited
Europe. lie studied French during his pas
sage, and such was his indomitable energy
that he travelled through France, England
and Wales on foot. During his sojourn
abroad he paid particular attention to the
construction of wire bridges and attained
an unusual knowledge OF the art for which
he was so justly celebrated on his return to
this country.
He built the wire bridge at Fairmount,
the first wire bridge over the Niagara river
and the existing one at Wheeling. He was
Engineer ON the James River Canal and the
principal and controlling Engineer on many
OF the railroads in Virginia. lie also sur
veyed the region and reported upon the
practlcabllity OF making navigable the Kan
awha. For the last seven years OF his life,
his mind has been devoted to the establish
ment of the principle Of iron-clad steamers
and steam iron rams.
TO explain the paradox of q colonel, or
military officer commanding fleet, or por-
tion of the navy, it is necessary to enter
somewhat upon the origin of the feet.
When Colonel Ellet conceived the idea of q
ram fleet on the Mississippi river he went to
the Navy Department to obtain the permis-
sion to organize and command the eXped
tion. He, however, met with q decided
refusal, or such indifferent success as to
warrant him to apply elsewhere. He, there
fore, went to Secretary Stanton, and was
ordered at once to organize the fleet, under
the directions of the War Department. As
the Secretary of War has no authority to
commission naval officers, the chief com.
mander had to be made Colonel; his son,
the second in command, 4 Lieut. Colonel,
and the officers with ranks to accord with
these. The boats were not manned with
seamen, but with soldiers, and the feet,
therefore, became a floating artillery corps.
All reports are made directly to the War
Department He was a man of great energy
of purpose, and as a soldier he was brave
and efficient. lie successfully accomplished
his mission, and in command of the ram
fleet participated in the engagement before
Memphis.
In this engagement he was wounded with
ball. from pistol, the ball striking near
the knee and ranging upward. The Mem
phis AcalaRcte, OF the 18th, in speaking of
his wound, states that shortly afterwards
he was taken with the measles" and yes,
terday the telegraph announced his death at
Cairo.
His widow is the daughter of the late
Judge Daniels, of Virginia, and she is now
accompanying his remains to this city, where
they will arrive tomorrow night or Wedncs
day morning, preparatory to being inferred
at Laurel Hill.-PAilg2eiphia Lggtrer.

TO THE SECESSION sYMPArHIsEE

Twill be no thanks to you, good sir!
Twill be no thanks to you,
When our troops come marching home from war,
The Red, the White, the Blue,
Still floating Ger them like a cloud
Ofglory as they come;
While a nations blessings, long and loud,
Shall shout their welcome home
Oh, then twill be no thanks to you
You frowned upon the toll ;
At best twas folly in your view
Until you saw the spoil
You sighed, and looked amazing wise
AT Justices long delay
And talked about a COMPROMISE"
To keep the hounds at bay.
Oh yes twill be no thanks to you
You never spoke one word
Where hearts and hands and all are due,
That have ever heard
One cheering word of sympathy,
One patriotic prayer
One word Of faith and hope TO be
charm against dcpair
Twill be no thanks to you, good sr,
Twill be no thanks to you,
When our troops come marching home from war
The Red the White, the Blue,
Still floating er them like cloud,
Of glory as they come
While nations blessing, long and loud,
Shall shout their welcome home.
Yet you shall reap what they have sowed,
country shall be yours
For heroes blood in streams has flowed
A richness that endures
Go eat the fat, and drink the sweet
Bought by the brave and true
And yet remember as you eat
1t is no thanks to you

The Rebellion.

Sunday passed without q battle before
Richmond. though the immincncc of one
will be seen on a perusal of our dispatches.
The two armies are in close proximity
There was brisk skirmishing all day Satur-
day, and ut night everything indicated that
general engagement was at hand The
rebels advanced i'll strong force on our lines
during the night but being promptly met,
soon retired again. They are evidently
afraid to take the initiative again, as at Fair
Oaks. They cndeavorcd to feel our entire
line on Friday by shclling, but did not
accomplish anything-most of their shells
falling short, and cliciting no response from
our batteries. They will ascertain their
positions with sufficient certainty when the
proper time arrives. Our dispatches state
that the Richmond papers of Saturday an
nounce the arrival OF BcaurcGard and his
ota1l ut Montgomery Ala, on the way to the
rebel Capital, and that large part of his
army OF the Southwest was expected to
follow
Grenada, Miss, has been evacuated by the
rebels, ny order, 1t Is said ol Beaurcgard.
Holly Springs, on the Mississippi Central
Railroad, has also been evacuated by the
fepelS, and occupied by the National forces
under General Thomas. The machinery for

Let me say to the Irish people come to
America, where you are appreciated; come
over in thousands and hundreds of thousands
where a welcome shall await you, for Ameri-
cans cannot forget your deeds of bravery in
the dark pages of our war. You have fought

that you had some more BurkCs and more

win their rights. My plea for Ireland to-

to the brave Irish regiments who are fight

men said on another occasion,
Whether on the gaows high

AMERICA AND FRANCE NOT 80 SENSITIVE.
Americans begin to he less sensitive
Throllopc says we copy France in manner

added, Americans begin to care as little for
Englands opinion as France does. France
laughs at England; America must do the
same. England used to pinch France, now
France pinces England; America is copying
the habit England is now thin-skinned, as
well as thick-skulled. NJ Assolant, in the
Courier de Paris, the Seiele, is equal happy
with his dissenting knife how the English
squirm Ridicule is a good thing when
based on truth. When you joke, always
joke on facts. The French writers say the
English are put in stalls, at the restaurant,
by themselves, like vicious horses, to keep
them from biting each other.
