ard aspiring youth, his brief career of manly
gaay have passed-he has done his work, and
gone 70 his reward.
The services closed with the singing by the
choir of the following Lines
Away from his kindred and scenes of his youth
lie sped at the summons Of freedom and truth,
lie rushed to the conflict, nor counted the cost;
He has fallen, how soon but he died at his post
Even stranger. Wept freely that thus in LIES
bloom,
One so gifted, so noble, went down to the tomb;
He charged with the foremost in front Of the host,
But he fell for his country-he died at his post.
He faltered not, swerved not, unmindful of fear,
Though foemen surrounded he rode with a c .eer,
And breathed the last message, while yielding the
ghost:
" Tell my kindred and dear ones, died at my
post"
He covets no monument chiselled in stone,
To tel Of the laurels his valor has Won,
But asks to be cherished by those be loved most.
As friend of his Country, who died at his post.
Our young hero's deeds VIC Will never forget
His virtues are fresh in our memories yet,
His name is embalmed with the patrio; host,
With the Martyrs Of freedom he died at his post
All the services, music. prayers and ser
mon, were appropriate, impressive and in
keeping with the subdued and solemn spirit
OF the occasion. stirring the large audience
at times with strong emotion, and conveying
a wholesome lesson to all whose privilege it
was TO be present

PEovosr MARSHAL GENERAL FRr has adj
dressed % the Secretary Of War a calm and
temperate statement Of facts. which have
very ugly look as a test Of Governor sew
m3ur's sincerity and patriotism. The Gov
ernor's organs have, from the first outbreak
Of the riots, been enieayorInc to show that be
had been treated with neglect and discour-
tcsy that veil of secrcsy was thrown over
tho preceding Of the Provost Marshals in
New York, that the actual draft was sprung
unheralded upon the City and that the IN
conscious Governor was allowed to wander
away to the seaside without thought that
his "iriends' were to be exposed ' during
his absence.
To the utter contradiction Of all this Col.
Fry shows that Gov. Seymour was kept con
s'antly Informed. was consulted as to every
vital detail, and was repeatedly invited to
cooperate win the officers Of the national
Government, in the preparation for and pros
ccution Of the draft. He shows also that
exceeding care was used to make the draft
as fair as possible and taking up the Fourth
distTict-the district in which accusations of
fraud IN the enrolment and drafting were
loudest-he shows that in that district there
was not only the greatest precaution taken to
secure fairness and justice, but there was
such remarkable success in attaining these
ends, that the enrolment made under the .
draft agreed closely with the enrolment
made year ago by the State authorities.
md which the Adjutant-G General then stated
20 he cminently successful and substantially
.orrcct.
Col. Fry closes the case by stating that
here Is nothing on file in the War DEPART

roportion OF troops from the State of New

The troops at Charleston do not seem TO
suffer at all from the climate. Barren. sandy
with no shade, Morris Island was at first M
ted disagreeable spot for the troops, but
longer acquaintance has resulted in very
favorable opinions. If there are no trees
the sea-breezes sweep across the island unin-
terruptedly; If the sand bluffs are disagree
able to travel over, the beach is one Of the
finest in the world, wide enough for a gener-
al thoroughfare, solid and smooth as marble
floor. At Folly Island the water is disagree
able and unhealthy; on Morris Island the
absence Of all vegetation renders it clear and
sweet. The camps are well policed, and if
they care well for themselves there need he
no serious sickness among the troops.
