On the 24th of Nov. 1862, LOUISA v,
youngest daughter Of james and Sophia Major,

We mourn not for one so well fitted to go
Where pleasures eternally reign;
Tho great the bereavement, full well do we know
Our loss is her infinite gain.

DIED, at Middleport, Meigs County, Ohio
on the 2Ist of November, 1862, of consump
ton, Miss FLORENCE NJ. TUBES, younges
daughter of Whitney and Mary S. Tubbs, aged
Ii years, months and 8 days.
Florence was Il member of the Universalis
Church, and devout christian. None knew
her but to love her, but she has passed from
this earth to the realms of eternal bliss, like
the flower that fades in it's bloom.
DIED, November 10Th, 1862, at Media Train
ing School, Penn, FRANCIS CIsT STARR, thirt
son of Col W. C. and Anna NJ. Starr; aged
years, month and days.
Darling frankie, God has called thee,
From sad and suffering life,
To world of light and glory,
Safe removed from worldly strife.
My poor, blighted little blossom,
Not one joy had earth for thee,
Groring on in mental darkness,
Glorious change, indeed, twill be
When that little mind unclouded,
Intellectual joys shall know,
Brighter, purer, more undying
Than we dreamed Of here below.
OH how ararmly deeply, fondly,
Loved we thee our precious SON;
Deep Affections only brought thee
Nearer, dearer, darling one:
On the tented field, thy father,
In his courtry's stern employ,
Drops a silent tear of sorrow,
For his poor, afflicted boy.
Hard, indeed, it seems to loose thee,
Harder, shlI, to see thee live;
We bnt pray for resignation,
Such as He alone can give.
Far from home and loving mother,
Strangers closed thy dying eyes,
But thy happy, little spirit
Mounts in triumph to the skies.
There thoult meet thy brother Willie,
Whom thou didst not know on earth;
Two bright spirits reunited,
In that blissful, heavenly birth.
Evenly our flock S divided
Two on earth, and tive above;
Babies both in mercy taken,
Two still left to claim our love.
May we, Heavenly Father guide them
Safely through this world of sin,
So they'll meet their angel brothers,
Where the ransomed enter in.

Gen. Banks after having advanced one hundred
or one hundred and fifty miles into Virginia
has for the last week been rapidly falling back
in the face Of AN immensely superior force of
the enemy, until at last he has been compelled
after Il hard fought battle, to make hasty and
complete retreat into Maryland, and the rebels
are again on the south side OF the Potomac
