Death of John Tyler.

John Tyler died in Richmond, Vir-
ginia, on Friday night last in the End
year of his age.
The want of great ability alone pre-
vented this man from occupying the
highest niche in the temple of infamy.-
A more corrupt heart WIS probably
never cncascd in human frame, but
the brains to carry out all its evil
were wanting. His doub!e-faccd course
as a Virginia politicianAmade him an
available Vice Presidential candidate
for the Wing Party in 1886 and again
in 1910. The death of Gen. Harrison,
just one month afer his Inaugural
ton, made Tyler President for nearly
full term, and his treason to his party in
that position is still remembered, viii bit
terness by Wings, with contempt by hon
est Democrats, who though they enjoyed
the fruits of the treachcry still despised
the traitor. Treason to his party and his
friends was fitting prelude to treason
to his country. Perhaps his bascst act
was the getting up of the Peace Congress
at Washington one year ago, the only
object of which was to allow time to
Virginia to complete her preparation
for Secession. The scheme was eminently
worthy ofthe low cunning which so char
acterized the man. From that Congress-,
of which he was President and one of the
most active members, and in which many
Of bis own measures were adopted, he
went home to Virginia, and on the very
day of his arrival, denounced its every
act as evidence that no justice would be
granted to the South. Since the Seces-
sion of Virginia he has been untiring in
his efforts to aid the rebellion, and thus,
with his inquiry full ripe, he has gone
to an Immortality of infamy.

LETTER FROM CAMP GRIFFIN

CAMP GRIFFIN. Va, Jan. 10, g.
Owing the almost unbearable inactivity of
this army and the bad weather we are now
having, there has been nothing of any i'm
portance going on, for some time, until last
Friday night the 18th instant, when, after
tramplng around all day through mud of a
Sulhclent depth to cover Il small sized dog,
we slowed ourselves snug Y away in the tents,
thinking thereby we would escape the mud
for night at least, and be better able to
toll with it the next day. Our peaceful
SAUNDERS and happy thoughts were however,
destined to be of short duration. We had
just got into good sound sleep, and were
dreaming otthe gentle ones we left behind
u.s. when the Bugle Sounded BOOTS
and Saddles it being then near II o clock.
Immediately thereafter could be heard the
commanding and wcllknown voices of the
Coloncl's and Company Commanders, as
| they rode up and down the lines, calling for
''boots and saddles had been sounded.
the assembly call was made, and ten minutes
thereafter, the "Camcron Regiment of
Dragons were all in line, ready. willing,
and waiting. for II sci 10 with the Enemy-
In that position we stood for a short time,
when an orderly came with a message from
the General, telling us to go to our quarters.
We had just made a start for the stables,
when down came another messenger telling
us to stand i'll line; SO we stood, (pooy deiuIrd
ueofnrcs) until two 0 clock, when we were
again ordered in and to keep our horses all
ready, which we did until morning. And
thus ended the anticipated fight. v hat was
the cause of the alarm we poor, ignorant
soldiers are unable to tell and think it
very probable that General Smith himself
did not know. Pe,hsps some trcitabie nadiria-

least hope so, as we require as much rest
as possible this kind of weather, and would

the officers say, not as they do, Il should

is no news of any Importance here, not even
OF the pay master coming, which would be
