BROTHER.
happy lone no~ mourns the loss
Of one they held most dear;
The eye that spake broher's love,
Now drops the falling tea;
The vacant place around the board
And by the cherries hearth
Remind Us Of the fleeing joys
And short lived thrgs OF earth
His place a comrade at his guu.
Nov fills instead of he
No responds unto his name
When called at revei!ie
His noble voice and manly form,
70 more we'll hear
4 brothers pride and parents Joy,
Ii in eternity.
Though in deep grief mourn the loss
. OF brother and of son;
Help oh Lord to be resigned,
Aud saw thy will he done.

GEN BRAa.-IhIs officer passed through this CITY ths
morning route for Newman whera his family is at
present soourning To what duty this officer will now
be assigned runer sayeth not.
Gen. Bragg's appearance was pale and haggard. He
at best snguary saturnine of visage and now Pc
cuary dark of expression A TALL thin man, with
eyes deeply sunken beneath the most lowering lashes
thin blue lips, and ncousaut scant gray hair
and beard a Narrow forehead; there are few men in
the South SO striking in person. Gen. Bragg is said
to be chronic dyspeptc be is certainly in ill health
and perhaps this is reason for certain eccentrcites
of temper now and~then manifested by him.
