those who stood tenderly watching by his
death bed, was the lovely and affectionate
matron of the Home He requested her to
put her hands under his dying head, and
then looking upward, his eyes were fixed
heavenward. And in this posture his life
went out so pleasantly that it was difficult
to fix the time of his departure. His body
was enfeebled to the utmost. But there
was rest in death.
He received from the unwearied kind
ness of the generous volunteer friends Of
the home, where he died, the most devo-
ted attentions. He enjoyed the visits
and conversation of good men, and noble
women,yet with all these alleviations, and
they were many and merciful, it seemed
a melancholy comment on the uncertain
ty of all human calculations, that he who
had labored and fought for his country,
by the space of one year, and had obtain.
ed a furlough of twenty days to visit his
beloved home, remained midway, to die,
away from his home, and his nearest kin
dred. 1t seems mysterious that one so
useful and so needful to the interests Of
his country at this time, and 50 necessary
to his family and brethren in arms,
should be removed so Unexpectedly, yet
we know that it was ordered in infinite
kindness, and unerring wisdom. The ex-
ample of such patriotic citizen and man
is of inestimable value in this day of cor
rupt ambition, political venality and ma
tional peril. His actions were directed to
preserve the integrity of his country, and
civil and religious liberty, in the world.
You knew his platform, He did not wait
to form his policy from the opinions of the
multitude. In the calm light of con.
science and truth, he learned his duty,
and in the clear ligh of the sun, he en-
deavored to do it. Comm.

EX-MARsHAL PATRIDGE-rhis notori-

for Canada, and has been indicted for
treason at Windsor, made his appearance
at Burlington on Saturday, and surrend-
cred himself to the United States author

to find bail in the sum Of $4,000 for his
appearance at the next term Of court to
be held in Rutland. No man, north or
south, has ever been more fully in sympa-

gentleman in Iowa. We took copy of
the letter, which will be found below
How fully he was in, and understood the
traitorous spirit of the south, even at that

ELI ELLIyWOOD.

Though more culogistic than historical,
we give the following, knowing that it
will be read with interest by all who had
the good fortune to be acquainted with
the subject. He was twin brother of
Fri Ellinwood, of this village:--
Died in the New England Soldiers
Relief Association in New York, Aug. 9Th
1862. Sergeant Eli Ellinwood of compa-
ny H, I'd Vt. Regiment, aged Al years.
Mr.. Ellinwood was born in Johnson Vt.
A. D. 1915. In the year 1889, he re-
moved with his family to the town of
Fletcher, where he resided until 1859,
when he removed to Cambridge. He en-
listed as a private in company H, I'd
regiment, Vt. volunteers, May 27 1861.
He was offered the situation of orderly of
the company, which he declined, but ac-
-ccpted the position of third Sergeant. AT
the time of his enlistment, he was one of
the Select-men of the town. He possessed
"a good property, and was past military
age. He was anxious to serve his coun-
try in the lowest capacity, if he might on
ly be instrumental in preserving the free
and bcnefcent government of his country
from the treason of wicked men, ard in
advancing the glorious cause Of human
freedom. He counted not his life dear to
himself, if he could help forward these
things. He was in the battle of Bull Run.
After the retreat from that battle, his
regiment went into camp Griffin, Va,
beyond Chain Bridge where he remained
during the Fall and Winter, until he
moved with Gen. McClellan's Division of
the army to the Peninsula, March 1862.
He was engaged in the siege of Yorktown,
in the battles at Williamsburgh, Seven
Pines, and before Richmond. His life
and health were preserved through all of
the severe fatigue of the Peninsula cam
paign. But after the last battle before
tsi9amend, he seemed to be worn out.
His strapg aud vigorous constitution was
ruined. Hcobtained a furlough of twen-
,ty days, that he might return home and
recruit his strength; but nature gave way
before he could reach his home. He died
.at New York in the rooms of the New
England Soldiers Relief Association. In
his last hours, he was affectionately at
tended by the kind and generous persons
who furnish the blessings of the home for
the sick and weary soldier.
The influence Of Sergeant Ellinwood on
men was marked and beneficial. He
commanded the respect Of his fellow SOL
.diers by his afectionate and dignifed
bearing among them. His cheerfulpess
and manly courage inspired them with
sentiments of virtue and self respect, In
his official position he infused sense Of
honor of obligations, and Of patriotic cour'
age, into the men Immediately under bis

Gen. Wilcox on the War.

General Wilcox Qate Col Wilcox, of
Michigan, and just released from South
crn captivity made a brief speech at
Rutland on Monday last. From the Rut-
land Heralds report we take the follow
ing:
AFTER alluding in very complimentary
terms to Vermont, he said he considered
it the duty of officers to go about their
work and strike and not talk. He was
on his way to his work, and had consent
ed to say a few words while delaying for
the departure of the train, in the hope
that he might be able to do something to
aid the great cause. He did not think
the people of the North were fully awake
to the magnitude of the crisis.
While you arc talking here, and hesita-
ting, Vermonters are spilling their blood
on the field of deadly strife, and are cry
ing to you to come to their rescue and
their aid. You have the same interests
at stake as they. You must make up
your minds that every man in New Eng
land has got something to do, connected
Immediately with this war.
Our Government, the boast of our peo-
pie and the pride of the world, is in dan
ger. That wonderful system Of govern
ment which secures so much individual
freedom, and which imbues all with such
a love for it, that when twenty Americans
find themselves met together in any part
of the unoccupied world the first thing
they do is to organize free government,
came from the brain of New England,
and New England is called upon, more
than all other sections, to fly to the pro-
lection and defence of her own offspring.
This spirit of freedom, said Gen. Wilcox,
is in the West, but 1t was not born there.
1t springs from these grand New England
hills. It flows over the Middle States in
an uninterrupted stream, but 80 soon as il
gets to the line of Virginia it isinterrupt
cd and impeded, until it reaches the cot
ton States, where it becomes sluggish
dreary and dismal, and is blown back il
Elack and suffocating gusts of despotisn
in your faces. Gen. Wilcox declared tha
he spoke from personal knowledge Of wha
he had seen and heard during his impris
onment, when he declared that Southern
ers hate New England, and each individ
ual inhabitant Of New England, with un
appeasable hatred. They hate our schools
our industry. our originality, our invent
i've genius,-but most of all our spirit o
freedom, which is destined to pulveriS

The Mourner.-A-La-NIode. 4.

| saw her last night at party,
THE elegant party at Mead's,)
And looking remarkable hearty
For widow SO young in her weeds
Yet know she was suffering sorrow
TO deep for the tongue to express
0 why had she chosen to borrow
So much from the language Of dress?
Her shawl was as sable as night
And her gloves were as dark as her shawl !;
And her jewels-that flashed in the light
Were black as funeral pail
Her robe had the hue of the rest,
How nicely il fitted her shape y
And the grief that was heaying her breast,
Boiled over in pillows of Grape
What tears OF vicarious woe,
That else might have sullicd her face,
Were kindly permitted to flow
In ripples of ebony lace;
While even her fan in its play,
Had quite lugubrious scope,
And seemed to be waving away
The ghost of the angel of Hope
Yet rich as the robes Of queen,
Was the sombre apparel she wore
I'm certain never had seen
Such sumptuous sorrow before
And | couldn't help thinking the beauty,
In mourning the loved anu lne lost,
Was doing her conjugal duty
Altogether regardless Of cost.
One, surely, would say devotion
Performed at so vast an expense,
BETRAYED an excess of emotion
That was really something immense
And yet as Viewed at my leisure,
These tokens of tender regard,
thought 1T is scarce without measure
The sorrow that goes by the yard
All grief is a curious passion;
And yours am sorely afraid,
The very next phase of the fashion
Will find it beginning to fade
Though dark are the shadows Of grief,
The morning will follow the night
Half-tints will betoken relief,
Till joy shall be symboled in white
All well 1T were idle to quarrel
With Fashion or aught she may do;
And so conclude with moral
And metaph0r-Warranted new
when MEASLES come handsomely out.
The patient is safest they say
And the SORROW is mildest, no doubt,
That works in a similar way!

From Tie Richmond Fa.) Enquirer, Sept H..
Reports from MARYLAND.

TIE city was replete with fresh rumors on
Yesterday concerning the movements of our
army in Maryland. From several parties
who have arrived from the lines OF the army
on both sides of the Potomac, We have been
able to gather the following information. The
crossing ,f ,Ao l',tn,,ise- wds commenced ON
Thursday last, and was conducted s" sL.e=
columns, ono crossing ct Edwards Ferry,
about three miles ron-Leeshnrg anoth-
er crossing at Little Seneca Falls, and tue
third ut Point Of Rocks all concentrating af,
ter the entrance into Maryland, at and near
Frederick City.
Since that time other PORTIONS Of our army
have crossed, and on Sunday last, Gen. Lee
had removed bis headquarters from Lcesburg
to Frederick City. The main body Of the
army having pushed on, this step seemed in
evitably necessary to avoid an attack upon
Leesburg in front or on the flank, and on the
rear. Add to this the fact that it was ex
tremely difficult as we'll as dangerous, to keep
IN supplies from any available point south
of Leesburg and the movement appears to
have been one of the greatest importance.
The report brought down by two citizens
from Baltimore, that demonstration had
been made in that city by Southern sympa-
,i,,zrr., ana that tie bridges leading towards
Philadelphia I.a>i been Destroyed, is generally
credited. Wnetiler the rot extended to the
slaughter Of the Provost Marshall and the
Enrolling officers is also considered true;
hut We have M confirmation Of either report.
Authentic information comes that large
number, Of Marylander: have joined our
army siilce their advent il'o that State, most
of them furnishing their ,wn arms and d con.
siderable quantity of ammunition.

Fatal Duel.

A correspondent of the Columbus Tsimes wri.
ting from Charleston snys: "a duel was fought
near here on the 9Th, between Col. W. RANSOM
CALHOUN, commander at Fort Sumter md ne
phcw of the great Jous c., and Major RHrrr,
son Of BIRSwELL RnETT, which resulted in the
death of the former. This is the second duel
Maj. RHErT han fought lately; the origin Of both
difficulties, it is said, growing out Of remarks
made by himself concerning Col. CALHOUN. The
community mourn the loFs of Col. CALHOUN. He
graduated at West Point in 1850 and ranked high
as military lender. Muj. RHErT is much cs-
tecnrd and, should he continue in the !, y, risos
to the place made vacant by the death Of Col. c.,
both being in the same Regiment"
We do not y.uch for this statement.
