not returned when closed this letter.
Our scouts visit Shepardstown frequently BY

night; that place being held by neither.
At Shephardstown Ferry, on this side of the
Potomac, there are over 200 wounded rebel
prisoners, guarded by the slst Penn. regiment
and under the care Of sixteen surgeons. The
men are of the desperate wounded class.

our men drove the rebels some distance. "A

DEPARTURE OF TIE Esd REGMENT.-The Esd
Regiment of Iowa Infantry, detained here : day
OF two for boat, got off Saturday afternoon on
the Metropolitan. Al they marched through the
streets towards the Levee their inspiring martial
music stirred the patriotism of the people and
attracted large crowd of the denizens Of Keo-

spirits, and their parting cheers we're all the

bound for ssheld of active service without the
usual dull delay of "Barrack life" and post duty.

Daniel Webster In his CONN.

We find the following account of the private
funeral of Col. Fletcher Webster, and Of the in
spection Of his illustrious fathers remains, in
this weeks issue of the Plymouth Rock:
The tomb at harshfeld once again opens wide
its portals to receive the last of the sons Of the
great expounder."'
The funeral Of Colonel Fletcher Webster took
place in Marshdeld on Wednesday, Sept TO-
The body was brought down from Boston in q
richly comparisoned hearse with four horses, by
way of bingham and South Shore. Several
coaches conveyed his Boston friends from the
Kingston depot, while large assemblage gath
cred from the neighboring towns. Rev. Mr..
Alden, the village pastor, conducted the seryi-
ces; the body resting on his fathers writing table
in the library, according to his dying request
large procession followed his body to the tomb,
where the coffin was deposited with the family
whom a nation mourrs.
By request of Peter Harvey, Esq, and others,
the oaken box containing the great statesman's
coffin was opened, and the metallic cover of the
glass removed. How were the feelings of those
personal friends stirred within them to find those
lineaments and features which no man ever look
ed upon to forget, retaining the same color and
impress-natural as when ten years ago they gave
him up to the grave.

twenty persons who had just returned from

which they had taken out OF the mines
with few weeks.
