A COLD BLooDED MURDER.-On Monday night
Mr.. b. j. Dickerson, the Marshal of Franklin,
was shot ard killed by some vile assassin. Mr.
Dickerson had been summoned to Louisville as
a witness on important trial. and was waiting
in the Office of the Jacksonville railroad, in COM
pany with several persons, when he was shot
through the window and expired almost instantly.
So sudden was the occurrence and so unexpected,
that the gentlemen who heard the report supposed
it was some explosion in the stove that caused
the noise, and did not know foul murder had
been committed until lady who sat near Mr.
Dickerson pointed to him as he tell forward from
his seat.
The gun, it wis supposed, was loaded with
nails, as two or three nails had penetrated the
sealing partition near where his head had rested
and two or more wounds we're on his head The
murder has caused great excitement, Mr.
Dickersoh good citizen, clever gentleman
and exceedingly popular. 1t was not known he
had an enemy in the town. The only reason
that be conjectured is, that it may have been
some rowdy he had at some time arrested. or
some one connected with the suit in which
he was witness But this is CONJECTURE as no
clue has been discovered to lead Co the detection
OF the assassin.

Tue WOUNDED AT VICKsBURG.-Most of the
wounds received at Vicksburg, says the Chicago
Tribune, are characterized as :" severe by the
surgeons, who gay that the proportion of wounds
of this character is enormously great, and as
crlbe it to the use of explosive balls by the reb-
els. These are mniture percussion SHE'LL which
explode after striking the object. In conse-
quence it is found that whenever bullet enters
near bone, that bone is always shattered, and
amputations become necessary to save life. Sur
geons say they have seen scores of legs and arms
taken off which might have been saved had the
enemy used the missiles ordinarily in use.

Grief.

Bow your heads very low,
Solemn measured be your PAGES,
Gathered up in grief your faces,
Sing sad music as ye go;
In disordered handfuls strew
Strips of cypress, sprigs OF rue;
In your hands be borne the bloom,
Whose long petals once and only
Look from out their pale-leaved tomb
In the darkness lonely;
ct the nightshade's beared coral
Fall in melancholy moral
You wan brows around
While in very scorn ye ding
The amaranth upon the ground
As an unbelieved thing;
What care we for its fair tale
OF beauties that can never fail,
No such blooms are on the track
He has past, who will come back
Never again.

which often comes to eyes that look .heir last. He
laid himself gently down and stretching out his
strong right arm, as if to grasp and bring the
blessed air to his lips in fuller flow, lapsed into
merciful unconscousness, which assured US that
for him suffering was forever past. .gtJ
AS we stood looking at him, the ward-master
handed me letter, saying it had been forgotten

an hour to late to gladden. the eyes that had look

for after had cat some brown locks for his moth

NEGROES NOW UNDER ARMs.-There are prob
ably more colored men now under arms than
most people suppose. The Anglo African says
that two weeks ago Adjutant General Thomas had
1000, Gen. Banks 5000, Kansas regiments
1000, Gen. Hunter about 5000, Gen. Foster
5000, Gen. Rosecrans about 5000, navy 5000,
Gen. Curtis 1000, Massachusetts regiments 1900,
District of Columbia S0J, total Of 35 900. We
know that the estimate in some CT these cases is
too small, and that the actual number is probably
nearer $4,000. Gen. Ullman in Louisiana had
not done so much as he would have done, had it
not been for the arrangement made with General
Banks and the planters for paid negro labor.
But General Banks said recently that country
would soon be opened where negro enlistments
might be made to any extent. He probably
meant Mississippi, which bids fair to soon be in
our possession.

now OUR SOLDIERS LIVE AND DIE,

now OUR SOLDIERS LIVE AND DIE.
In the last number of the Boston Common
,ceqlh we find the following sketch OF o scene in
one of the army hospitals at Washington from
the pen of Louisa NJ. Alcott, of Boston, who per-
forms the duties of a nurse
DAVID AND JONATHAN.
One evening found a latey-emptied bed oc-
cupied by large, fair man, with fine face and
the serenest eyes | ever met. One of the earlier
comers had often spoken of friend who had re-
manned behind that those apparently worse wound
ed than himself might reach shelter first. 1t
seemed Davd-and-J Jonathan sort of friendship.
The man fretted for his mate, and was never tired
of praisng John, bis courage sobrety, self-denial
and unfa ling kindliness of heart, always winding
up with :" He's an out and out fine feller, ma'am,
YOU see if he amt" | had some curiosity to be-
hold this piece of excellence and when he came,
watched him for a night or two before | made
friends with him for, to tell the truth, was a
little afraid o! the stately-lookng man whose bed
had to be heightened to accommodate his COM
manding stature, who seldom spoke, uttered no
complaint asked no sympathy, but TRANQUILITY OBJ
served what went on about him, and, as he lay
high upon his pillows, no picture of dying states
man or warrior was ever fuller OF real dignity than
this Virginia blacksmith.
NO HOPE.
A most attractive face he had framed in brown
hair and beard, comsly featured and full of vigor
as yet unsubdued by pain, thoughtful and often
beautifully mild while watching the Affections OF
others, as if entirely forgetful of his own. His
mouth was grave and firm, with plenty of will
and courage in its lines, but smile could make
it sweet as any womsn's and his eyes, looking
one fairly in the face, with clear, straightforward
glance which promised we'll for such as placed
their faith in him. He seemed to cling to life as
if it were rich in duties and delights, and he had
learned the secret of content. The only time
saw his composure disturbed was when my sur
geon brought another to examine John he scru'
tnzed their faces with an anxious look, asking oi
the elder, /" Do you think | shall pull through
sir ?" "Ihope SO, my man." And as the two
passed on, Johns eye still followed him with an
intentness which would have won clearer answer
from them, had they seen it. A momentary
shadow fitted over his face, then came the ususl
serenity, as il in that brief eclipse he had atknowl-
edged the existence OF some hard possibility
and, asking nothing, yet hoping all things, left
the issue in Gods hand, with that submission
which is true piety.

WESTERN RIVER MEN ON VIcKsBURG The
western river men talk about Vicksburg in this
fashion " You see, they look at their hands,
and Grant orders them up. Then Mr.. Pember-
ton sees he cantt make anything, and offers to
give him a point. Old U. S. is four already
and that would carry him out, but they are
playing laps and slams, so he can't see it, but
goes in Cor march and one on the next game. >

THE LAST LETTER.

"Shal write to your mother now P" asked,
thinking that these sudden tidings might change
all plans and purposes but they did not for the
man received the order of the Divine Commander
to march with the same unquestioning obedience
with which the soldier had received that of the
human one, doubtless remembering that the first
led him to life, the last to death. r7 - 1T
No ma'am; to Laurie just the same; he'll
break it to her BEST and I'll add line to her my
self when you get DONE"
So wrote the letter which he dictated, finding
it better than any had sent, for, though here and
there little ungrammatical or inelegant, each
sentence came to me briefly worded, but most ex.
pressive, full of excellent counsel to the boy ten
derly bequeathing smother and Lizzie" to his
care, and bidding him goodbye in words the sad
der for their simplicity. He added few lines
with steady hand, and, as sealed it, said, with
patient sort of sigh 81 hope the answer will come
in time for me to see it; )" then, turning away his
face, laid the flowers against his lips, as if to hide
some quver of emotion at the thought of such a
sundering of all the dear home ties.
These things had happened two days before
Now, John was dying and the letter had MOI
come. had been summoned to many death
beds in my life, but to none that made my hear
ache as it did then, since my mother called me t.

He was, and so rapidly that even while h
spoke over his face saw the gray vail faln
that no human hand can lift l sat down by him

with the slow wave of fan, and waited to bel
him die He stood in sore need of help, and
could do SO little !; for, as the doctor had for
told, the strong body rebelled against death, an
fought every inch of the way, forcing him to dra
each breath with spasm, and clench his hane
with an imploring look as if he asked, Ho
long must endure this, and be still !" FL
hours he suffered dumbly, without moment
respite or moments murmuring. His lim|
grew cold, bis face damp, his lips white, and aga
be tore the covering off his breast, if the ligh
, est weight added to his agony yet, through
ALL bis eyes never lost their perfect serenity, an
the mans soul seemed to sit therein, undauntt
by the ills that vexed his flesh.

SOLDIERLY SYMPATHY.

One by one the men woke, and round the room
appeared circle of pale faces and watchful eyes
full of awe and pity for, though stranger, John
was beloved by all. Each man there had Won
dered at his patience, respected his pety, ad-
mired his fortitude, and now lamented his hard
death for the influence of an upright nature had
made itself deeply felt even in one little week.
Presently the Jonathan who SO loved this comely
David came creeping from his bed for a last look
and word The kind soul was full of trouble, as
the choke in his voice, the grasp of his hand
betrayed but there were no tears, and the fare
we'll of the friends was the more touching for its
brevity.
"Old boy, how are you VI" fatered the one.

theother.

They kiss each other tenderly as women, and
SO parted for poor Ned could not stay to see his
comrade die. For little while there was no
sound in the room but the drip of water from a
stump or two, aud Johns distressful gasps as he
slowly breathed lis life away. thought him
nearly gone, and had just laid down the fan, be-
lieving its help to be no longer needed, when sud-
deny he rose up in his bed, and cried out with a
bitter cry that broke the silence, sharply startling
every one with its agonized appeal: For Gods
sake give me air !" r.
1t was the only cry pain or death had wrung
from him, the boon he had asked, and none OF
us could grant it, for all the airs that blew were
useless now. Dan flung up the window, the frs,
led streak Of dawn was warming the gray east

with the love of light which fingers in us to the

The Dead Hero.

The Dead Hero.
Bind the oak leaves round his head,
He has shown himself a man;
Bravely charging he fell dead,
Fighting foremost in the van.
Cheering with mighty cheer
On he led the serried band;
Now he lies upon his bier,
Cold and stately, still and grand
Slowly gather round him now,
Ye, his soldiers and be dumb,
Cast one look upon his brow,
Asyou hear the muflied drum.
Then with solemn feet a. nd slow,
Mourning for his early doom,
With your folded banners go,
Lay the hero in his tomb.
