 Having been in Batesville for some days, whither I came for sick brother, 1 found that some injustice had been done the ladies of this nIace in regard to the circulation of report that the sick soldiers of the Clark county Light Artil lery had received little no attention at their hands On my arrival here, found that every thing had been done to render them as comtorta- bic as the circumstances of the case would admit, ard the attention paid to them by the ladies of Ratesville was more like that of a mother or sis ter tiaa of stranger. Having known most of the members ef this company from boyhood up, l know that each breast eobtains heart that would diadain to render any thing but the kis,dest regards and hears felt hankfuness to beneiactor or bene- factress The soldiers thanks are rendered in si- Ience. and consist of actions, and not oS empty words. While they suffer in tented fields, and walk amidst the iron hail of death, over heids made red with the gore of the enemy Of your country, consider and receive his tlanks.
 Hypocritical smiles belong not to a southern patriot His feelings are around the heart, ana for country oppressed and batbed in the blood  of q part of the noblest sons of the South. This 1 know to be the feelings of the brave men whom .he citizens of Batesville took in charge when disease racked the noble form that moved as living breastwork to the border of their native State, and that BatesYie will ever be as green oasis in the hearts of the soldiers phoT its kind inhabitants hefriended in their hour of distress, aud that the aged parents will ever remember them in their daily petitions to ths tyrone 0. the Great Am, for the kindness extended to an a''' sent son.

To ,he Memory of Lieut.. G. s. Fitzhue.

Farewell, farewell, oh gallant dead. Low lie thy head in humble bed; But where thy silent ashes sleep, Sri oht spirits will their watches keep. No warmer heart e'er ceased to beat, No braver e'er a foe did meet; None reader, to thy eountry's call, Went forth to conquer or to fall.  Tho. long within its house of clay 7 May rest thy frame; vet, far away, Thy spirit reigns, 'mid scenes most fair, In realms of bliss, shining star; Ne'er growing dim, but ever bright, With it's own pure unborrowed light: Fair as thy virtues have been here, So shine they in that radiant sphere, No marble monument may rise, To catch the gaze of wand ring eyes, '- And point to where that body lies, Whose soul has passed beyond the skies; But the modest phrase, on humble stone, May tell whose soul to Heaven has gone, And mark where rests the mortal part Of him who lives i'll every heart. 0 rest in peace, friend of the free "A thousand hearts to Heaven for thee Lift up the wish)--so free to give Thy life that Liberty might live. 0 rest in peace, from cares removed, The bosom of the land you loved Affords sacred resting place,
 And bids thy body rest in peace. o rest in peace; the wintry storm, That rages OCT the mould ring form, Cannot disturb the hallowed grave That shields the body of the brave. rest in peace; soon smiling spring Her beauties o'er the earth will fling; Then to thy tomb our steps we'll trace, Slrew flowers, and bid thee rest in peace. 0 rest in peace, where never more The mutterins drum, the cannon's roar, The bugle's blast, the whistling fife, Shall summon to the fearful strife. 0 rest in peace, till that dread day, Earth, sun and stars shall pass away; Thy body bursting from tEe sod, To seek the bosom of thy God, Shaf join its soul, where joys ne'er cease, In Heavens perennial, perfect peace.
