! Parker. democrat, is elected Governor of New

| In Minnesota, the democrats gained one OF

been defeated by Knox, radical republi:
| cam" Michigan has probably gone for the
Abolitionists, Illinois for the Democrats, and
| Wisconsin is claimed by both. Delaware
has elected SIMON" Governor.
The columns Of Gen. Mcclellan are report

says, 'sIt cannot be long before there will be
| exciting news from the advance. IF there be

that ''Gen. Mcclellan spent most of this al
ternoon at the top of Ashby's Gap, taking Oh

The New York Commercial saws:

The mo, sailing war vessel, left this port
yesterday; the sailing frigate, Sabine, has left
New London, and the Vanderbilt and .Daco-
tan are under sailing orders. 1t is under
stood that they go to search for the Alabama.
The merchants of this city, meanwhile, are
discussing the propriety Of sending some fast
vessel, the Dreadnought, for instance. to aid
IN intercepting the pirate Semmes. The mo
is ship of eight hundred and ninety-iye
tons, said to be very fast, and is rated al IF
ty guns. She probably carries less, but has
very heavy metal. The Vanderbilt is one of
the sgiftest ocean steamers aaoat propelled
by paddles and mounts fourteen guns, some CT
which are very heavy. The Dacotah is a
sloop-ofwar, propelled by screw, and
mounts seven guns. Should the Alabama
encounter one or more of the squadron. she
would depend for safety on the relative speed
of her pursuer, for Semmes would not FIGHT
his antagonist.
Once upon the track and the pursuing fleet
in position, the Alabama could be readily
run down. Semmes will indeed find it diff
cult to evade capture, and must. Of necessity
cease his depredations, for continuance of
his piratical pursuits would lead our ships to
their prey. 1t is understood that several 9th
er vessels are either en- route or under orders
for this service.
> Captain semmes will, of course, resort to
every subterfuge to avoid capture. His ia
vorite ruse will probably be repeated, that of
hoisting the British flag. The English gov
ernment have had the red cross insulted by
this same privateer, who has disregarded the
consular certificates of that nation, and it is
stated in morning paper that on the repre-
sentation of the British Consul here, Admi-
raj Milne, commanding her Brittaric Males
TVS squadron in American waters, has order
ed three British vessels of war to pursue her
and bring her to account.

With drapery Of richest gold,
Old Sol had sought the rosy West,
While Twilight did her mantle fold,

Twas then lnournful group was seen
10 seek the quiet churchyard sod,
And 'Iaid the twilight's soft ming sheen,
There bowed the holy man of God.
And there was seen the open grave,
And sy it weeping parents knelt;
He, only, who has power to save,
Knew the deep anguish that they felt.
Their precious child-the budding flower
Had withec'd If the morning sun;
That bitter scail IN dsat sad hour,
Ger her, their gentlest, loveliest one
Sweet Bette! how her tender arms
Had twined about her mothers breast;
But now, secure from Deaths alarms,
With Jesus she doth calmly rest!
She swells the ransom'd, blood-wash'd throng,
One angel more IN glory now,
Her harp sings out in joyous song,
A radiant crown adorns her brow.
Then why should tears forever flow?
She as not lost, bit gone before,
She drinks no longer cup Of wo,
But waits to greet you on that shore

From the Lynchburg Republican.
Captain Andrew b.. esSEssssss.

Among the many noble spirits who have
sacrificed their lives in defence of the liber-
ties of our infant Confederacy, not one was
more beloved and idolized, and the fall Of no
one will be more sincerely lamented by all to
whom he was known, than Captain Andrew
Il. Gibson, who died on the Both day of Au-
gust 1862, from a wound received, whilst gal
lantly discharging his duty in the terrible
fight at Manassas on the evening of the 2Sth
of August. He volunteered in one of the
first companies raised in Southwestern Vir-
ginia. He entered the service in April, 1861.
as second Lieut.. of the 'sSmyth Blues com
posed of many of the best young men of
Smyth County. His company belonged TO
the celebrated ''Stonewall Brigade" Upon
the promotion Of the Captain Of the Blues to
the office of Major, Lieut.. Gibson was unani-
mously elected Captain Of the. Blues without
opposition. lie participated in all the ex-
petitions and battles in which Gen. Jackson's
division of the army was engaged, except
those below Richmond, being then at home
sick. It is not saying too much when the
writer asserts that there was no one in the
army more beloved than Capt. Gibson; and
by his men he was almost idolizcd. Young
as he was, (being in his 18th year he seemed
to sustain to his company more nearly the re-
lation Of father than commander.
The Surgeon Of the 18th Va. Regiment in a
letter in relation to Captain Gibson, saws -
at may be q comfort to his bereaved mother
and sister to know that he had not only es-
tablished the reputation for himself of a most
faithful, gallant and brave officer, but was
most highly beloved and respected by all who
knew him for his goodness of heart and kind
and polite bearing to all. His comrades in
arms feel that they and the country have lost
one of their best men. He has passed away
martyr to freedoms cause, and his memory
will live to incite his remaining fellow sol
diers to deeds of valor similar to his own"
Many extracts of similar import from his
brother officers might be given.
Captain Gibson had been a member of the
Presbyterian Church for q number of years
A short time before his death, in a letter to
enc to whom he sustained a peculiar relation,
he says: 81 sometimes feel as if should not
live through this war; should fall write to
my sister and tell her that though life for her
sake and my mothers issdear to me, still it is
not hard to give it up in such noble and !
glorious cause, and for it should / fall it will |
be without regret !; still it is hard to die awav
from them, but there is one that sticketh |
closer than brother" and know lie will be |
there. Tel her it is hard to part, but to re-
member that we separate only for time; and |
that IN the great hereafter we shall meet again |
never more to part"
Captain Gibson leaves a widowed mother, /
a beloved sister and many devoted relatives |
and friends to mourn his early fall.
