were not stubbornly resisted at Stewards
creek At two we were anticipating battle
with some doubt of general engagement at
Murireesboro. Now and then there is can
non shot and a little skirmishing with cavalry
outposts. Gen. Rosecrans is now at Stew
arts creek, ten miles from Murfreesboro, and
all but the reserves are far across the creek.
The grand battle, if any, will be on Stones
river, at Murfreesboro. Should the enemy
evacuate Murfreesboro we shall pursue rapid
ly, anticipating battle near Shelbyville.
NEAR MURFREEsBoRo, Dec. 3l.-General
Crittenden reports the enemy drawn up in line
of battle on the east side of Stones river,
menacing General RoSecrans. Heis ordered
to form in line of battle, two divisions in front,
one in reserve, and covering his TANKS, and
Generals Negley and Rosseau to close up.
Gen. McCook also reports his command on
Wilkinson's creek, seven miles from Murfrees-
boro. The enemy is in line of battle on
Stones river, from Murfreesboro to Franklin
pike. a similar disposition Of his forces is
ordered as on General Crittenden's line. 1t
now appears that a great battle will be fought
on Stones river tomorrow, in front of MUIR
freeSboro.

days, he was on his way--a member of the
Holden Rife company--to the scene of con-
hct. The commanding officer of the compa-
ny very cordially and fully bears testi-
nony to his honorable and sodierlike
bearing during the term of three months,
for which the call was made. At the expira-
ton of this period Capt Kelton returned with
the company to his home. But his new EN-.
ployment was too accordant with his taste, as
his patriotic desires to make sacrifices for his
suffering and bleeding country, to suffer him
long to remain inactive.
During this short campaign he was promot-
ed from private to sergeant subsequently,
and soon he re-enlisted in the .twenty-first
regiment Massachusetts, volunteers, and was
commissioned second lieutenant In this
| active and brave regiment he greatlydistin-
| guished himself for bravery, wisdom, and
success. He acted conspicuous and skill
full part in the battles of Roanoke, and New
bern, and Camden, and the second Bull Run,
In all of which, though brave as the bravest,
he escaped unhurt. But there remained one
more deadly conflict for him to encounter-the
battle of Cbantilly-which was fought Sept.
| |, 1862, in which he received a fatal wound
in the leg. He was taken prisoner by the en-
envy, by whom his limb was amputated. Sub
sequently he was released and sent to the hos
pital at Georgetown, where he died on the
nineteenth of the same month, greatly lament
| ed by his entire regiment, and by all who en-
| loved the pleasure of his acuuaintance

For the Worcester Daily Spy.
MIN I.afR On Ira Il KAIhnl


Few deaths resulting from this deplorable
war have produced greater disappointment
and distress than that of Capt. Ira j. Kelton
Fond parents have been bereft of an only and
well-beloved son, and an atfectionate sister of
one who was to her pride and her hopes all
that brother could well be.
Capt. Kelton was born in Warwick, Mass
Sept l, 1887. His father died a few weeks
previous to his birth. In early childhood
there were unmistakable indications of a no.
BILE and earnest life. In all the conditions of
his somewhat checquered early career, the type
of marked manhood continually appeared in
the boy. His recreations were of more
thoughtful cast than is common to his age.
He had great fondness for knowledge, and
especially historical and biographical. HetOok
great delight in scientific Investigations and
particularly in those departments which re-
late to the military profession. He very early
manifested a strong desire to enjoy the advan-
vantages of miLttGI y education, and made
several attempts to secure place i'll the in
stitution at West Point.
Not being successful i'll obtaining situa-
ton there, and having too fixed and earnest q
purpose to yield to such encouragement, he
directed his studies and researches diligently
and persistently to this end, fully determined
to make himself master of the science of war.
Not, however, because his spirit was warlike.
Far from it. His was mild and forgiving and
loving. His passion for the. science andarts of
war was more intellectual than moral While
engaged in the improvement of such oppor-
tunities as came in his way, and as he was able
to secure, to acquire knowledge of military
science and tactics, there was a call from the
executive of the nation for volunteers to re-
sist and overcome the unnatural and wicked
rebellion which had commenced its overt acts.
Capt. Kelton was then residing with his
mother and step-father 10 Holden. In three

ANOTHER LETTER.

CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VA. Dec. %, 1862
Thursday morning at o'clock, we had or
ders to pack up, take our blankets and shell
ter tents, (this is light marching order,) and
report near the railroad bridge three-fourths
of mile from Fredericksburg, that we might
be ready to cross the river as soon as the
bridge was laid. We arrived at the point
designated about 8 o'clock, A. NJ, and re-
manned there Concealed from the enemy by
hill, till nearly sunset, and then crossed
the river.
We were the second brigade to cross, and
had no fighting that night, but laid on our
arms on the bank of the river. The boys
made so much noise that we could get but
little sleep, some of them being out on pillag-
ing expeditions, returning somewhat worse
for the liquor they found. Friday we remain
ed in the city until noon, and then went out
on picket duty, and were out until A. NJ, of
Saturday, when we were relieved and located
ourselves once more in town.
But we had not long to stay there. At one,
P. NJ. we marched on to the battlefield, and
while we were going out shell came into
our ranks, killing our surgeon (Haven,) and
wounding number of others. We did not
go 10 lne front unull nearly OarR, DuC lHlu at
the canal all ready. While in this position
we lost several men in killed and wounded,
among them Major Philbrick, wounded in the
ankle.
just before dark we went to the front, but
hostilities had ceased for the night, and we
did not have occasion to fire gun. We re-
manned there until IL, P. NJ, when we were
relieved and took our old position in the city.
But we were destined not to have nights
rest while we were over the river, for on Sun
day evening we had to go out on picket, and
remained there until Tuesday morning. At
one O'Clock, the city being abandoned, we re-
turned to our old camp at Falmouth.
The loss in this regiment is about thirty in
killed and wounded. Monday was day long
to be remembered by the 18th regiment. 1t
was the longest day ever knew. We were
on picket for thirty hours in succession, and
this whole time we had to lie on our faces to
keep from being shot by the enemy. They
did not dare to come out of their entrench-
ments to attack US, and if we raised our heads
we were sure to get shot at by rebel sharp
shooters. We lost a number of men in this
way.
The batteries on the heights to our right
would open upon us, occasionally enfilading
our line; and besides, it was a great source
of annoyance to us, to be obliged to take the
enemy'S fire without returning it. How long
we shall remain here, or what course will be
taken next, | of course cannot tell.
Yours, truly, S.

The Conflict with Slavery,

The patriots of the revolution did not
dream that slavery could become a domineer-
ing political power in this country, with
strength and audacity to menace the nation
andits free institutions, with destruction. They
were earnest men, whose earnestness in sup
port of the doctrines of their Declaration of
Independence made them great men,-great
in the memory Of those who came after them
great in history to the end of time. They
so firmly believed that slavery would very
soon disappear from the land, that they pro-
hibited its existence in all the national terri
tory, and carefully avoided naming it in the
federal constitution. 1t was their purpose to
make this a land of freedom and equal rights,
andthey supposedthe civil organization they es-
tablished, would irresistibly secure this result
and make it permanent.
AT the beginning Of the revolutionary war
there were slaves in all the thirteen colonies.
Vermont, which never was n colony. was nd
mitted into the Union as free state. in 1871.
eight years after slavery was abolished in
Massachusetts. When the war began the
thirteen colonies held about 500, 900 slaves.
as follows =
Massachusetts,, $500 Pennsylvania, 10000
Rhode Island, 4,374 Delaware, 5000
Connecticut, 5000 Maryland, $4,000
New Hampshire, G29 Virginia, 10000
New York, $1,000 N, Charolina, $4,000
NewJersey, 1900 S. Carolina, 10000
Georgia, 10000
We copy the figures of the Utica Herald,
which adds very truly that 'almost immedi-

The directors congratulate the stockholders
that III spite of the decline of business along
the road, they have still been able to declare
their customary semi-annual dividends of four
per cent-paying at the same time, the gov
eminent tax of three per cent on the dividend
declared. The property of the road has been
kept in order, thirty four freight cars have
been added to its rolling stock, and heavy
and substantial bridge has been built over the
Blackstone at Valley Falls. Its bonded in
debtedness has been reduced from Sl67 900
to $97 200, which will be paid at maturity in
August next, leaving the road free from in.
debtedness. When the Valley of the Black
stone has resumed its usual activity, and the
debt of the road has been paid, satisfactory
dividends will be earned with a reduction of
passenger and freight tariffs. The sale of
five hundred additional shares of the capital
stock, authorized in May last, is to take place
on the 18th inst-the whole capital stock then
