Mr. V0rhees

The late speech of Mr.. Voorhees, for peace-for
peace Internationally and at once-whist it may
be the utteranee of only solitary ndividusl, is
the more manly anG noble on that very account,
ana VIII increase the high respect WHICH has al
ways Deen entertained In the S@utli for the char
acter and consistency of the speaker. 1t is re-
ireshing to hnd at least, among the profess4d o.
rlgina friends OF the South, a faithful few, who
still stand to their coors, and in defiance Of des-
potism and the mob, proclaim their honest con-
yictons. What a contrast to the Cushings, the
Dickinsons and Van Burcns is such as
Voorhees,! Though he errs in suppos'ng that the
Ui4ien can ever be reconstructed, and tht ugh, in
in. oking immediate peace, he does not speak
nor pretend to speak the sentiments of his sec
tion, we shall not withhold our tribute of admi-
ration of the man, Of his moral courage, and un-
swerving consistency. Would that there were
more like him. -Dispatch.

Mr.. EDITOR The War Department having Or
dered the name of Lieut.. James A. White of
company Fl, SD Va Regiment, who is advertised
IN your columns as Geserter, to be dropped
from the muster rolls of his company, deem it
proper, in justice to brother officer and friend
to say word with regard to his mysterious dis
appearance. He absented himself on the night
OF the goth Sept, 1862, while the regiment was
marching from near Sheperdstown towards Bun
ker Hill, and has not been heard of since. 1t
then became my Imperative, though painful duty,
10 report his name among those who were absent
without proper authority. HIS conduct up to
that time, however, had been of such a character
as to induce the impression upon ny mind that
he was incapable of wilfully deserting his country
and KNOWN; him, as do, cannot believe that
he has so deserted, but that his mysterious dis
appearance must be accounted for in some other
way. He proved himself to be fighting man on
several bloody fields of battle. At Port Repub-
lie he received wound which rendered him hors
de combat for near three months; but, recovering
from his wound he again entered the field of car
mage and bloodshed. He participated in the
three days. fight at Manassas, and also in that
stubborniy contested battle of Sharpsburg where
he laid aside the sword and used musket. be-
lieving that he could do better service in that
way.
He was somewhat eccentric, but have obser-
we'd In him no want of moral courage on any oe-
cason He entertained the deepest hatred for
the Yankees, and l have frequently beard him

gross invaders planted their feet any where with

A Sigh For My Home.
BY A NORFOLK VOLUNTEER.

Ny Home! Oh how long to see
The loved forms there again,
Where, from discord and passion free,
Both love and friendship reign.
But. ah I'm doomed to linger here
In sad suspense and doubt,
By which my heart is held in fear
While from my home cast cut
My home is held by hostile bands,
That rayage and DESTROY,
The fairest prospects of our lands
With mad and fiendish joy.
With dreadful malice in their heart
And anger in their eyes.
They've forced ne and loved ones to part
Regardless of our cries.
Old Norfolk feels the despot's power.
Her people bear his yoke,
And feels through every day and hour,
The fierceness of his stroke.
Her sons are now in exile sent,
To battle for their right,
And oft their knees in prayer are bent,
Before the Lord Of might.
They pray that God will grant them peace,
As they did once enjoy,
And that the tide of war may cease,
And no more them annoy.
They pray for loved ones left at home
la solitude to stray,
And wheTe the base invaders roam,
To snatch their rights away.
Soon may this storm become acalm,
Wien notes of peace we'll hear,
To give the weary heart balm,
And dissipate his fear.
Then to our homes again we'll turn,
And meet with loved ones there,
Where lights of love and friendship burn
To Danish every care.
