"No frankie, I'll stay with you"
He was comforted, and became more quiet

About nine o'clock he breathed his last, and

N. P. Gaddis, jr., of Second Ohio-Writes that
while at ShelbyviIIe one of those unusual oc-

Ored, as best he could, to preach to the Ninth

The usual devotional exercises lasted about
an hour; at the close, the writer asked the
General to add word. He took the huge
rock pulpit, and occupied half an hour in de-
livering one of the finest religious discourses
ever heard. He commenced by saying "that
he did not come here as their General Com
manding, but as man to man, worshipping the
same God, and aiming for the same state Of
eternal happiness" It was sublime scene;
hundreds were melted to tears; he left an i'm
preston on their minds never to be forgotten.
He insisted that the highest duty of a soldier
was to be Christian; religion heightened
every enjoyment, and better prepared him to
discharge his duty as a soldier.

TENNESSEE I Tennessee bright land,
Although unknown to fame,
Yet thy mountains and yalleys
III ever love the same.
Sundered now, those earlier ties,
That remember yet,
Alas they in my bleeding heart
With fondness and regret
IN love my own bright sunny land,
Tho it should ne'er be free;
When dying, I would plead to rest
Beside the Tennessee.
I never can forget the land
That gave my being birth,
While mem'rys fairy pencil paints
The loveliest spot on earth.
Hove the spot, where heroes fell,
Nor did they ever yield
While freemen's arms were left to strike
On ShilOh's crimson field,
Some gallant arm viii always grasp
Our blOod-stained standard sheet,
For Freedoms symbol ne'er shall trail,-
Beneath such traitOT's .Jeot.
I Ilove those true patriot sons,
Who scofIed at prison bars;
They would not wear the despot's yoke,
Nor homage Eallen stars.
On Southern soil their bones might bleach
Their children cry for bread
They would not sell their blood-bought rights,
Tho an angels tongue should plead
They boldly barred their manly breasts
Before the maddened foe,
And when they died for freedoms cause,
Black treason ssTjtled JelO1g.
Uprear the marble monuments!
For such departed brave;
They in undying song, shall live
When TreaS0n's in her grave.
We ne'er shall number all their graves,
Beside the surging shore,
Meath tn silver depths Of ocean,
: And the dark Atlantic's roar;
Sleeping in the bright, Sea Islands
Mid the clustering hills,
On Edisto's rosy bosom
By music-murm' ring rills.
On fair Florida's reefy coast,
Mid cliffs of snowy sand,
They're sleeping by the silver sea,
Along its golden strand.
Meath the orange and the balsam
MagnOlias and the pine,
In their battle-shrouds of glory,
Like drapery dyed in wine.
There, the Iemon-blossoms blow
Beside the almond trees,
Arabia's spicy yephyrs waft
Eolian melodies.
Dewy eve will weep for them,
On this Italian shore,
And signing sea-nymphs softly chant
Ger them foreysrmOre.

sharp-Shooters.

The telegraph has reported good work by
Berdans Sharp-shooters, at Yorktown. Some
account Of the rifles used by them may inter-
est our readers:
The target rifle which has produced the
crack shots of Col. .Berdan's regiment is very
peculiar instrument It is made with an in
creasing twist; it has false muzzle-a contri-
vance which preserves the fine true edge of
the real muzzle from wear in the act of load
ing; the barrel is OF STEEL the balls are made of
compressed lead; and the weapon is fitted
with telescope Of such power that at four
hundred yards it is possible to distinguish the
color of a man's eyes. This rife does execu-
ton at the distance of more than a thousand
yards; and Col Berdan has in his regiment no
man who cannot kill an enemy with at least
two out of three shots, at the distance of a
quarter of amiIe. These are the men who are
teaching the rebels a severe lesson before
Yorktown. A party of thirty such shots can
pick of every man from battery of light ar
tiIlery in one minute, at distance Of nearly
half mile.
How extraordinary such craftsmanship is
we can better appreciate if VIC remember that
in the italian war each man killed cost four
thousand two hundred rounds ofball cartridge;
at the battle Of Vittoria in the Peninsular
war, eight hundred balls were fired for each
man hit; at the battle Of Cherubusco the Mex
leans killed one man for every eight hundred
rounds they fired, and the Americans killed
one for every one hundred and twenty-five
rounds.

"SPEoTRE LAKE" at Washoe, Cal, is what
was once lake but, having evaporated, the
lake is a horizontal sheet OF hard coating, ex-
tending several miles. At the distance of a
mile it seems a real lake-calnl, unrufled, sil-
very, and apparently as cool as any sheet oi
water-reAeoting on its distant edges the
objects beyond-peaks and hills and canons
with great distinctness. It has a mag
nitying power, and sedges foot high become
oaks, and rarens giyafes in its reflection.
