ANOTHER ORLEANS Boy FALLEN
We have to record the death Of another
brave soldier dying in defence of his
country'5 aag-Edward II. Marcy Of
Craftsbury, who was wounded on the 23d
day of June last, while fighting bravely
in one Of the battles before Richmond.
He was severely wounded in the back
part of the head, taken prisoner and car
red to Richmond and there confined in
one of their tobacco warehouses, which
have seen the death struggle Of too many
Of our brave boys. For lack of care and
proper nursing, after ten days Of misery
and suffering, he died bereft of all atten-
ton save that which his brother, himself
wounded, might render him, and who was
permitted to comfort him in his last mo-
ments. Thus has another name been
added to the list Of martyrs to the com
mon cause. He was brave and an
efficient soldier.
WAR MEETING AT COVENTRY
There was an enthusiastic war-mecting at
Coventry, on Tuesday, for the pose Of
procuring volunteers to fill the old COM
pany of uniformed militia, the Frontier
Guards" which is organized there, and
has been lately ordered to leport itself
ready for duty, There was a good num-
Der Of recruits who came forward and

commanding officer, until he shall receive
pay from the Z. s., while as drafted men,
or those in lieu of drafted men, are get
ting no State pay, and are subject to ali
the requirements of drafted men. The
advantages of enlisting in this Company
are obvious. More men are wanted =
Now is your time.
