DEATH oy HENRY FISHER, JR.-Ws regret to learn that this brave and patriotic young man was % severely wounded at the battle of Murfreesboro. that he died next day. Mr. Charles F. Penzel writes to the father of the young patriot, that he fell in the first charge the enemy, on She mern ing of the 3lst and died in the hospital the next day. The body was decently buried by the side of Lieut.. McColum, and tho grave marked with view to the future removal of the remains We give below at the request of Mir. Fisher, g letter from Mir. Pen1el to the widow of his brave son.
 WARrRAcE, TkSy., Jan. 10th. 1863. Mrs. MAGGIE FISHER: Often during this cam paign did set down delighted at being abls to write the news which l always estimate the best, the good condition of heal.h but this time, 1t arieves my heart to write the dep p'orable message about my friend, your husband. who is no longer among the living, but fell victim of this war on the 3lst of December, in the battle before Mur- freesboro. He is parted from us-died on the altar of his country, but is in heaven whore parting is unknown. there shall meet him again: Mournful is the present, but with christian hope, tha. beyond this earthly life brighter future will await us, wc trust in God and pray to him for assistance in our struggles and sorrows.
 Yours truly, CHAS. F. PENZEL.
 Beyond the flight of Time, INpe1 en There surely is some better cline,
 Where life is not breath,
 Nor lfe's affections, transient fire.
 Whose sparks fly upward and expire.
 There is a world above
 Where parting is unknown,
 A long eternity of love
 Formed for the good alone,
 And faith beholds the dying here.
 Transplanted to that glorious sphere:
 Thus star by star declines,
 Till all are pass'd away;
 As morning high and higher shines,
 To pure and perfect day;
 Nor sink those stars in empty night,
 But hide themselves in heavens own light.
