In the haSd contested battle OF Sunday
last. while tho whole South tuay rejoice ttpt
we drove She invaders from their we'll icTnisd
entrenchr,ents, fsw WHO read the pare graph
that chronicles that glorious event can krow
that the tidings which conveyed to them great
and glorious Joy also carried dismay and scr
row to the heart OF many bereGvst one,
whose souls darling rIir2iai ia that fea,1GI
fray. The good men who fought that fa;sl
hight ware mostly young, on whom the band
OF tlne had scsrcely touched tui and
gay, re loieing ill tho strength al their man
hoods prime 10 light the Invading ioe wla
their dety AMI their pleasure, aud ;hay needed
no voice but the piunlptiDps Of daty and the
call Of their leader. Military discipline made
them noBe tho more ready, aud The commands
of their captains had g cheerful echo in their
own willing hearts. With tasul il ,.as to
form, to fight. to defeat, or to die, 10 WELD
or retreat had never entered their uuIlithJ-
matica; minds. Slch were th- nan who eli
vitOnad cur city On Saturday iaeL-suot wac
the self preferred barrier betwizt liberty and
tbratdOtn.
Bot the laurel ls seldom tw,aed to grace
garland in which the cypress does hot miHQle
Its dropping branches. While we write Of
glorious victory we chronicle sad iseease.
And among those written IN melanch none
impress US with the fate of patriots and the
mutabiGty Of youthful hopes, more than the
fate of Charley New, Of Company II, Of the
First Virginia regiment. This harclc youth,
SO well known in the business circles cT our
oity-so we'll known. no: only fof his fair
face, bright locks and promising form, but
more, transcendentally more, for his ability
of manners WAS better known and better ap
preciated i'll the company of whioh he left the
city as al humble private. Every member Of
the company loved Charley--Ee was 80 placid
10 his manner, 30 Kind iii his ,iemennOr, so
useful 40 a colder Did tho Captain require
member for peiiious duty in whom con
tidence could be placed, thu ready ie2ponss
to his anxious query for man was Charley
New Did dispute arise, in the settlement
of which the potent voice of An umpire was
needed, the reference was To Charley New.
Did the sick man in camp wish for d friend to
tend him in his hours of Loneliness, bis plead

duties of s0liier-in all the relations OF q
com panion, he was like the Chevalier Rayard

II is because in the pale Of desolatioy lha:
shnned our ranks from the Yankee fire on
Saturday, poor Charley fell pierced throu h
the heart,
The glance of an eye couid have told that to
face that fire was certain death Did Charley

ment of hesitation between glory aud death
poor Charley met his fate. He fell 'ierced
through the heart with Mimic bali. His last
cry was, Come on men, CONS on" no time
Tor help OF burial then. Bat we will retrieve
thee, glorious boy Green shall the turf
above thes grow. Our shouts of E;.er, ME ut

sounds OF Joy shall he for,.eer hushcd as we
