Nathan Spencer, Of Co. G, 9Stb Rsg't
D. V. l., died 0,t. l7th, in the 40th year
Of his age, .,,5,a ..,.f .y.i. xxx
His death has cast gloom all over the
company, for he was a man Of unusual
henevolence, and possessed an amiable and
cheerful disposition, which caused all his
companions to love and esteem him, both as
soldier aud comrsde. He was confined
three days in the Hospital, where he was
we'll cared for The members of that com
pany all visited him and did every thing
possible TO sooth his pain, but alas death
was inevitable, and while, his voice was
audible, his talk was all concerning his
wife aud children, for thoy was idolixcd by
him. Oh how solitary the hours pass TO
widow and bereavcd orphans when they think
ofthat dsarfamiliarsoic that f never hush
ed in the silence Of the tomb, But oh how
sorrowful the sad intelligence was to the
endeared friends who deeply mourn his loss.
for he was an affectionate husband and an
indulging father. All hope through divine
grace. our loss will be his gain. Father, al
though this cup is bitter, thy will, not surs
be done.
b., Farewell noble, loving Father, 49,.

Al Incident OF the Capture OF Mis-

A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Ga
zet'e mentions the following incident of the
capture Of Look ont Mountaiu: .f
II was near sunlown when General T, J
Wood. whosa cnnduct all through the three
days battle marked hin as ono ot the ablesi
leadcrsof the national armies rode aloag
the lines Of his superb division. Loud shouts
ofenthusissm everywhere greeted his ap'
pearance, until at last biz feelings, no Longer
controliahle, broke ont in a.peech:
Brave men!" said he, ''you wore order
ed to go forward aud take tho rebel rihc-pit,
at the foot of these hills; you did so, and
then, by the Eternal! without orders, yor
pushed forward and took all the enemy
works on top! Hero is tinr chance fo
having you all ccurt-martialedl and my
self will appear ss the principal witnss
against you, unless you promise me ont

At the concl,sion,ot this speech, the on

DEAa SIR -Deeply chagrined nd mvrt-
fed as was to hear Of the escape of John
Morgan and six other Confederate prisoners,
/ aW glad to know, from the report of
Messrs. Wright and Hoffman. just handed
to me, that there is not the slightest evil
dance to be found of fraud or corruption on
the part of the officers, either civil or mill
tary, cnncerned in their custody. nor ON tho
part Of any individual or citizen without or
within the prison, but that the sole reason
for their escape is to be found in the mis-
understanding of General Mason and your
self, as to which of you should, after the
third of November, be responsible for and
have the care OF the inspection of the pris-
on cells. To avoid danger OF like occur.
renee, have now TO request that you take
upon yourself tho entire charge and respon
sitility Of the safe-kseping Of those prison
ers; that you and you alone select and EN-
ploy al the guards and other assistants thai
you may deem necessary for faithful ant

Mr.. EDIToR: Many of your readers no
doubt recolsct of there having been meet
ing of the wool-growers Of this County held
last Spring, in Morristown, to consider the
propriety Of shearing the sheep uuwashed;
that committee was appointed to draft
resolutions expressing the sense Of the meet
ing, that said committee reported in favor
of tho old plan Of brook washing before
clipping, which report was adopted by the
meeting, rather than submit to tars Of
ons-third upon unwsshed wool, 1.-THE rule at
that time understood to be adopted by buy
ers. .,. .-.n' i. nn i.-
That the wool shorn from sheep unwash-
ed, exposed to oil the soaking rains of the
spring OF the year will NOT LOSE ONE
THIRD by ordinary brook washing l enter
tain no doubt. Therefore, l think the ac
ton of the convention on this point wise
and proper, according to our information at
that time. The committee above referred
to reported resolution in favor of perma-
nent committee, which resolution was dis.
posed OF by appointing committee of one
from each Township. l have not the min
utes before me, and do not recollect the
names OF the persons composing it.
1t was suggested by my friend Armstrong,
from Caplina, who vas one Of the last com.
mittee, that the Editors of the County give
us one column weekly, for the purpose ol
communicating with each other and the
wool growers Of the County NOV, ar one
Of said committee, make this request ofons
column weekly ia each OF our county papers
Il is especially requested that the COMMITTEES
will contribute 10 6ll this column, and that
the wool-growers generally will embrace thi,
opportunity OF communicating their ideas u
one another, so that the experience and
skill Of ono shall be made the skill OF all. :
| | also suggest that the same oommunica
tions appear in both papers. l would have
no objections to our friend Woodroffs III
willing and tho Editors have no objection
taking charge Of this, depsrtmant,i and il
the sbseDcs 81 ati;Olss 10 ali shis column, Ne
lect to fll it. Woodrofs, think, is .doinl
q favor to the wool-growers Of this Count,
by distributing Randslis Practical Shep
herd among them. This lie certainly . worl
that every sheep breeder, and wool-growe
should reruse. l,1HT
Il i can see no objection our cornty paper
can urge against filing one column, sveI
