The Last Moments of GEN. Mitchell.

Correspondence New York Tribune
BEAUFORT, S. c., Oct. 30.-When closed
my letter last evening, it was with an ex-
pressed hope that Gen. Mitchell would soon
be better. But alas for our hopes.
Standing by his bedside yesterday, he
reached out his hand and took mine, and look
ing up in my face he said at is blessed
thing to have christians hope in time like
this" answered encouragingly, and he inn
mediately closed his eyes and said no more
An hour after he beckoned me, and tcebly shak-

longer; go now and come to me in the morn

past seven; on the steps met Rev. Dr. Strick-
land, chaplain of the New York 4Sth, who
had been called for. We stepped into the
ante-room together, and waited few mo-
ments, when Maj. Birch, who has been untir-
ing in his attentions, entered almost convused
with grief. lie had Just taken down the last
will and wishes of his beloved commander.
He did not see us, but his emotion did honor
to his head and heart. He conducted the

general, and betokened me to follow. | did
not hear the words of the general as the Rev.
Mr.. S. stopped to speak to him, but did hear
him say, "Kneel down." and then he asked
Mr.. Strickland to make a short prayer How

throne Of the God of Battles AT its conclu-

Ills hand was extended again. ''You can do
me no good" said he, family "Do not STAY"
His mind seems perfectly clear and calm; but
he is falling constantly. Every hour we send
messengers, but no encouragement comes.

The LIFE OF EDWARD IRVING; by Mrs.
Oliphant Here we have rich subject and
a capable biographer. Edward Irving was
one of the most remarkable men of his time
He was Scotch clergyman, famous for elo-
quence, ecCentricity, and $arious exciting re-
ligious peculiarities noted in his college days
as a reader of Hookers works, the Arabian
Nights, and Ossian's poems; noted also for
earnestness, candor, and brilliancy. His life
was full of interest in many ways and this book
will richly repay the thoughtful reader. Mr..
Irving became ''world-famous" on going to
London in 1922. His first congregation in
London consisted of about one hundred and
fifty persons. But it grew; and at length no
church in London could hold it. But his re-
markable career in London, his eloouence
and his religious Vagaries, should be studied
A full account of them is given in this hook

We have in this book twelve lectures, in
which the central point of discussion is stated
as follows ;--'If the human constitution was
made by wise and good being, it must have
been for certain ends, whatever they may be,
and nowhere else can its perfection and hap
piness be found. To discover these ends and
the means Of attaining them, is the object OF
moral philosophy" DIR. Hopkins has wide
