 One pound of meat will feed a man two days He who cannot go to the war, but, will feed two soldiers, will himselfbe equal to soldier in the field. If Gen.

 A Confederate soldier, who was wounded at the battle of Pttsburg Landing, and who was heing conveyed to Louisville as prisoner died of his wounds between Evansville and Owens5oro, and after being stripped of all his clothing was thfown into old wooden box which was about three in. ches too short for him, and left on the wharf boat to be buried by our citizens meeting was call ed by the southern citizens of the town, and prep aratons made for a suitable burial at one o'clock on Thursday. Long before the appointed time, our streets were thrOnged with people from all sections of the country, who had come to witness the solemn ceremony. Att o'clock the remains were conveyed to the Methodist church, where an impressive and eloquent funeral oration was de- livered by Bev. Dr. D. Nicholson. The number of spectators at the church was variousy estimated at from 1000 l500. Alter the exercises at the church were concluded, the procession repaired to the cemetery, where they deposited the remains of the brave but unfortunate soldier, who died while nobly battling in defense of htS country and t IS country s cause.
 It may be some consolation to the friends of the deceased to know-though buried among strangers, in a strange land-that he was inferred in a man. her becoming his cause and that thousands of sym pathizing tears were shed over his grave for the loved ones at home, and many a tervent prayer offered up to God for his safe deiverance to that haven of rest where strife. disseDs0ns and aboli- tionsm never enter, and where peace and harmo- ny reign forever.
