Lieut.. FL, L. Black,

! DIED--At the residence of his father, Jo-
seph Black, in Rutland, Ohio, of Typhoid
Fever, on the 2ah day OF May, 1862, Lieut..
HARxEr L. BLACK, OF Company Il, SD Reg t
o. v. L; aged "a years.
just arrived at vigorous manhood,
and opening into life of usefulness,
when his country called for volunteers
to aid III reprcssing the great rebellion
now raging in the land, Lieut. Black,
in his own person, brought into it's
service clear head, bold heart. and a
strong arm; and on the bloody field of
! Shiloh, during the memorable 9th and
eth of April, he distinguished himself
BY hisspersoial bravery, in rallying the
broken ranks Of the SD, with portion
of which he Kept the field during the
whole of the two hotly-contested days.
He also participated in the gallant
skirn,ish, under Gen. Sherman, on the
morning Of the 9th Of April
Shortly after, the battle he was at
tackled with Typhoid Fever, and re-
moved from the active scenes in which
he had SO nobly participated After the
ordinary delays incident to military
life, he was removed by'steamboat from
Pittsburgh Landing to Cincinnati, and
thence to Middleport, whence he was
taken to his fathers residence on the
18th inst. During all these changes he
gradually failed, until death relieved
him Of his command, in just one week
after he arrived at. home.
During his sickness, he was at times
aelirious, and while so, his MUD was
constantly engaged in living over the
great scenes through which he had
been called to pass during the past few
months.
Ills whole life has been marked by
strict integrity, morality and honesty.
He vas highly. esteemed by all who
knew him, and it was only necessary to
know him to respect him. "
Thus passeth away Lieut.. Black, in
the prime Of life, another victim to this
unholy rebellion He was the pride Of
his Company, who loved him as a
brother, who could feel for all their
woes, and respected him as an officer,
who was fully able to lead them.
His untimely, and unexpected death,
brings sorrow and heaviness among a
wide circle of associates and friends,
deeply attached to him by his rare
union of an ardent, high-splrited nature,
with the most gentle and generous
qualities, and the invariabls bearing Of
gentleman. ......
May this heavy stroke rest lightly
upon his parents and brothers, for
whom he had the most earnest and ar
dent affection.
Light rest the turf above thee
Friend Of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee
None named thee Iut to praise"

All the men wanted will lie in: the
ranks as fast as railroads can carry them
to the place of rendezvous. But they
go terribly in earnest, and will scarcely
be. content to die in camps, guarding
niggers for the rebels, while they are
numbering their brothers. Those who
leave their homes and all that is dear
to them, at thisrcall, 'smean business. -
The Government will be sustained by
all the men and means it may ask for.
But those who furnish these men and
means, will ask in return, that the men
are not sacrificed, and the means worse
than wasted in the vain effort to main
tain the accurscd system Of slavery
which lies at the bottom of all this fear
ful strife. Nor do we believe that our
rulers will ask it at their hands. We
almost begin to believe that the rebel
lion will now be suppressed, even if
somo Of the rebels should lose their
grasp upon their human chattels.

The Fight at Front ROYAL.

BALTIMORE, May 26.-The following
is the statement of Captain George
Smith, of the First Maryland Regiment,
who succeeded in efecting his escape in
the fight at Front Royal:
About one o'clock, P. NJ, negro
mounted upon horseback, came dashing
into camp, crying out that the rebels
were coming in great mum bers, and ''they
will surround you and cut you off.
At first the men laughed at him, say
ing they had waited SO long for them
that they did not believe a word of it,
AS soon, however, as Col. Henley saw
the man, he became satisfied of their ap-
proach.
The long roll was beaten, and the men
responded, springing hastily to arms,
and forming in line by companies.
Very soon the rebels made their ap-
pearance, and strange to say, not sin
gle gun was fred by the pickets of the
First Maryland regiment.
1t may have been in consequence ola
sudden turn in the road; they were sur
prised and captured. Company A was
ordered to deploy as skirmishers and
support a section of Knapp's Pennsyl-
vania battery, which mustered about
forty men.
In the meantime the Lieutenant Col
onel of the 29th Infantry, with a small
detachment Of his men, who had been
acting as pioneer corps, also formed
and prepared to receive the enemy.
The battery was soon engaged, and
discharged shot and shell for near two
ho IFS, until nearly all its ammunition
had been expended.
The firing was spirited, and there is
no doubt ofits efficiency. Unable, how
ever, to withstand such an overwhelm-
ing force, the order was given to retire,
which was-aansy y-s....l~ ~tha-entire col u ann
moved over the Shenandoah river.
The retreat was covered by a com
pany of the Fifth New York cavalry,
about~eighty strong. While passing
over the bridge the Captain then dis
tinctly saw the rebel forces. There
was very strong column of cavalry,
say four squadrons, eight companies,
and four regiments of infantry.
OF this force two regiments of in
fantry and two squadrons of cavalry
were fording the stream, the water
being very low
The order, double quick, :" was given
and the Nationals took to the pike,
when another stand was made, Col.
Henley addressing the men, and telling
them that their only chance Was to
stand and fight to the last, especially as
the rebel cavalry were fast pursuing,
and displaying black flag.
Capt. Smith says that he did not see
them display the white flag.
A second stand was made, and many
shots exchanged when the New York
cavalry, still in the rear of the column,
broke and retired, riding through the
ranks of the infantry.
A part of the Maryland command re-
tired to wheat field, and there made
another stand, firing rapidly and with
deliberate precision. Presently on came
the rebel cavalry, cutting right and left,
and yelling like Indians.
In some instances, neither the dying
nor wounded were spared, and in one
case, the Captain saw the rebels draw
their pistols and shoot them in she head
while lying by the road side.
The Captain told the men they had
better escape as best the y could.

Balloon Reconnaissance.

Balloon nRecOnnOtsSance.
A telegraphic dispatch from the head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac,
near Richmond, ON the 21st inst, says:
General Stoneman, with Professor
Lowe, made balloon reconnaissance
this morning from Gaines Mills, reach
ing an altitude of 500 feet. An admir-
able view was had of Richmond and the
surrounding country with glass.
The camps Of the enemy within the
limits of the corporation were seen, also
the arrival and departure of railroad
trains on the railroad between New
Bride and Richmond. But few troops
were visible, but to the left Of the city,
on the line of the mail coach road lead
ing to Bottom S bridge, a large number
of troops were seen, also smoke from
numerous camp fires, coming from the
woods in 'front.', showing they were oc-
cupied by large force of the enemy.

.The Future.

We have received, from friend, ;
copy of the Richmond Wing, of the 81
inst. It had just received the news O
the capture Of New Orleans by ths
Union forces. 1t admits that, in some
rssPscss, it is misfortune to the South
bat, upon the whole, thinks it is 6
creator one to the North. Its philoso.
phy; is, that the South really loses
nerhins.by the capture Of her cities
aud what was considered her strong
holdsi lint il. on the contrary, greatly
strengthened BY it. 1t liberates her ar.
tuies;s aud enables thelr to concentrate in
greater force stsother peints, with fair
srospset eli afeonquefing Ours, while We are
Seakened By the nuinber of men it will re-
i4uireso Hold these positions It says that
the expense win soon bankrupt the Gov
,ernuent, and the Northern people will
submit 10 terms toge; rid of the taxes.
Besides, 1t says the United States will
protectfhe property and persona Of the
people, they are bound to do rs the
law ofnations, and.wih thus save the
South the expense, while all able
boaitltmen cansafely leave their homes
to join the Southern armies, while the
slaves can support them by raising all
the provisions they need. :.
In its appeal to .Le people, it uses

Kidnappers at Work,

The most dlsgraceful scenes ever en-
acted in any civilized country are daily
transpiring in the Capitol City of the
United States. Organized bands of
kidnappers, taking courage from the
impuHity with which the Eallandigham
Democracy and the self-styled "Conserv-
atives," headed by Davis. of Ky, spout
their treason and threats against the
Government, have thrown off all privacy,
and in open daylight, prowl the city,
seizing their victims by brute force, and
hurrying them to the shambles Some
times they take them to the accommo-
dating Commissioners of the District
and get a certificate, authorizing them
to carry away their victims, but, as the
Commissioners charge ten dollars for the
certificate, the kidnappers have pretty
| much ceased to pay the fee, as they
feel safe in taking whoever they can
grab without it. Here is telegraphic
dispatch on the subject, taken from the
daily papers of Friday. 1t is the best
light in which the transaction can be
put, of course, as all telegraphic dis
patches have to pass the revising hand
Of those in authority before transmits

Here is the dispatch
A New York Regiment marching
down Seventh street this morning had
with them thirty fugitive blacks. When
opposite the Avenue House, some kid
| nappers broke into the ranks, seized
two, and were stripping off their uni
forms, when a number Of soldiers inter
fered. One dubbed his musket, and
would have beaten out the slave catch
er's brains but for the interference of
an officer, who afterward regretted it
Other soldiers clutched them by the
throat; others still fixed bayonets, and
drove off the gro-stealers. No war
