DEATH CT CAPT. HENRY C. MoFrETr OF
THE E1GHTH Mo- REG.-Tbe ST. Loua Re
publican of the 2Sd of September, announces
the death of this gallant officer which took
place in Chicago on the 10Th Of August. He
was wounded in the thigh at Arkansas Post
while making charge at the head Of his
company, upon the rebel works. He was ia
ken to St. Louis where he remained four
months, in charge of the sisters at their Hos
pital. About the first of June considering
himself sufficiently recovered travel, he
went to Chicago to pay visit to his old friend
VIM. Robins. The trip proved too severes
and on the 10Th of August, at the house Of
his friend he expired. All the old Shasta
COuntians in the Basin must remember Hank
MOfett of the Shasta Republican. A brayer
heart or nobler soul never animated human
breast, than those of which death bereft his
friends, in taking from them H G. MoFett.
He was our friend. and we were his, we were
intimately associated with him in trying POI
itical times in California, and know how true,
he was to every trust With him friendship
meant some thing more than comfy Of in
terestit was a deep seated ri, q that never
grew cold. We are glad OF an opportunity
to add our feeble testimony to that of his
commanding General, GA Drawer or better
man than Mofett never lived He was a
good printer, good writer a good friend aud
a good soldier. We love bis memory, peace
to his ashes. ......st

An Alarmed Rebel Editor.

The Richmond EnqSircr is evidently get
ting alarmed at the proofs which it sees that
there is an increasing number of Sou 'hcrn
crs who are tired of the war, and who begin
to look about and ask what are the prospects
for some settlement of troubles. That jour
nal labors to show them that the hatred of
the North is too intense for them to hope for
anything but an undying enmty. 1t says:
"lf We had compromised the matter at
and partsans in the Northern States, who
would not only nave received us back in
triumph and honor what they call honor)
but would have eagerly offered us their alli
ance to insure another long period Of Dem
ocraic' rule. Now, those Northern people
are all, all, without exception, our mortal
enemies not only because of the expense
we have put them to, the havoc we have in.
tiictcd upon their commerce, the vast debt
we have accumulated upon them, which can
only be paid out of our houses and lands,
the torrents of their blood we have shed on
many a field, and the humiiations we have
made them endure in tke eyes of their rever
cd Europe-not only for all these reasons,
but still morc-they are our enemies because
of that bitter scorn which we have most sin
cerely and heartily poured out upon them for
many year"
points out to them the doom which awaits
them in case Southern independence is not
secured. He says:-
"'Ihey must bow their proud heads to their
destiny, and take the fate to which the men
will have left them. Many may be employed
as governesses to teach small Yankees J.;
many, owing to their experience in ruling
negro households, may get service AS house
keepers, in their own homes, to superintend
their own slaves for their new Mistress
Some may be fancied as concubincs by Yam
kee dry goods merchants who have turned
brigadiers or quartermasters."
The writer must know that his case is very
hard when it requires such stuff as that to
sustain it.
But he is also particularly troubled because
the talk, i'll which he has so much INDUCED,
about "dying in the last ditch" is becom.
ing a matter of ridicule at the South. He
says -
Zone may observe sometimes in the Con-
fcderate newspapers phrases which we re.
mon to talk sarcastically of the last dit CHI
men, and the last drop Of blood men,
namely: those who declare that rather than
yield to Yankee rule they will shed the last
drop of their blood and die in the last ditch
Has this become a ridiculous sentiment
then? 1t is possible that the bar.room ora
tors, es even the very gamblers, may have
been heard to buster in this sort of way,
without for moment meaning to shed the
first drop of their blood, orto die anywhere,
save in Their beds. But that does not make
the idea IN itself by any means ludicrous.--
On the contrary, if there be not now within
this Confederacy several hundred thousand
me, each one of whom is last drop man.
and last ditch man. then, indeed it is i'll
with us this day-with us and our heirs for
ever.n

DREAMING IN CHURcH.-At Balls on
Spa, on Sunday afternoon, fatigucd with
his long journey, wagner, with his
son John, drove his team into a barn,
and determined to pass the Sabba,h in
enjoying season of worship with the
good people Of the village. When the
time for worship arrived John was sent
to watch the team while the wagner
went in with the crowd. The preacher
had hardly announced his subject before
the old man fell fast asleep. He sat
against the partition in the center OF the
body slip; just over against him, sepa-
rated by very low partition, sat 6eshy
lady who seemed all absorbed in the SER
mon. She struggled hard with her feel
ings, but unable to control them any
longer, she burst out with loud scream,
and shouted at the top of her voice,
arousng the old man, who but half
awake, threw his arm around her waste,
very soothingly: L" Whoa, Nancy
Whoa, Nancy! Here, john" calling
his son, " cut the belly band. and loosen
the brcechen quick, or she'll tare every

Horses WANTEp.-The demand for
good horses is at present far beyond the
supply, and promises to remain so for
several years to come. The country has
been swept of its surplus, 10 supply the

more will be needed in the serrice.--
There is also continued call for extra
animals at extra prices. We believe

MASUFACTCRES.

Before the "a years of internal war
and anarchy there was considerable man
ufac;ur'rg enterprise exhibited in Mex
leo. There were seventy-two large cot
ton factories at work, six large WOODEN
ones, eight paper mills, four glass facto-
rics, and seventy hshd- machines for weav-
ing silk, the total annual value of manu-
fac ured goods amounting to over one
hundred millions of dollars. This indus
try, we presume, has been largely des-
troyed by the partisan warfare which has
torn the coun ry to pieces for the last ten
years Since then no $ atistics have been
published.

Rebel Outragss On SOut.. ern
Quakers.

We find the following in the Philadcls
pEia correspondence of the N. Y T,1-
bune.
The leading particulars of one of the
most remarkable events Of this war have
just been communicated TO me. You
know that many of the Society of Friends
have long resided in North Carolina, and
that a fundamental article of their faith
is refusal to take up arms under any
circumstances whatever. In the early
stages of the rebellion the rebel powers
of North Carolina, we'll knowing their
peaceful principles, permitted them to
pass unmo!ested, though known to be
unconditional Union men. But as time
went on, disaster to the rebellion sue
cecdcd to disaster, men were captured,
killed, or disabled 10 so fearful an
extent that every one out Of the army
must be brought into it.
Early this year the CONSUMPTION fell
upon the Friends. In one neighborhood
some twelve of them were drafted. In
accordance with their we!l-known prin-
ciples, they refused to join the army
But everywhere the reign of terror pre-
vailed, aud they were forced into the
ranks. Here muskets were given to
them, but every man Of them refused
even to touch the weapons. Every con-
ccivable insult and outrage was heaped
upon them; they were tied up, starved
and whipped. Still they renamed firm
to their conscientious convictions, and
refused 10 fight. Finally the muskots
were actually strapped to their bodies.
One of these Friends was singled out
as espccia ly obnoxious, and was whipped
numerically. The officer in charge was
lawless and brutal, and on one occasion
ordered him to be shot, as an example to
others. He called out file Of men 20
shoot him. While his executors were
drawn up before him, standing within
twelve feet of their victim, the latter,
raising his eyes to heaven, and elevating
his hands, cried out in a loud voice -
" Father, forgive them, they know not
what they do" Instantly came the
order TO fire. But, instead of obcying
it, the men dropped their muskets and
refused, declaring that they could not
kill such man.
This refusal so enraged the officer that
he knocked his victim down in the road
and then strove repeatedly 20 tramplc
him to death under his horses feet
But the animal persistently refused to
even step over his PROSTATE body. In
the end they were marched with the
rebel army to Gettysburg. In that bat
tie, they remained entirely passive, fired
no shot, and in God alone trusted for
preservation. Very early in the &C ion,
he officer referred to was killed. The
Friends all unhurt, were taken prisoners
and sent to Fort Delaware. Here, by
accident, it became known in this city
that several Friends were among the
captured, aud two members of the society
went down 10 enquire into the clrcuni-
stances, but they were refused permits
sion to see them. They went mmedi-
ately to Washington, and there obtained
an order for their discharge, conditioned
on their taking an affirmation of their
allegiance. This opened the prison
door. The Affirmation made, these mar
tyrs for conscience sake were released.

LoNENzo Dow's LAST TRUMr-Onc Sun
day Dow was engaged to preach in the
woods, near one Of the towns of upper
Georgia. He was famous for his out of.
door preaching. Meeting Il little niger
with tin horn, as he was going into the
place, he asked him if he could sound the
horn pretty loud. The darby grinned and
putting the horn to his mouth made the
woods ring. "Now,' said Lorenzo, " if
you will go and climb to the top of that big
pine tree close by the stand and keep the
horn with you, and when you hear me say.
Gabriel, blow as loud blast us you can,
I'll give you this silver dollar - and he
showed the negro bright new American
dollar. The darkey was nightly tickccd
the prospect of getting the silver dollar,
and readily agreed in the proposal. The
meeting assembled shortly after, and great
many people were present. Serious old
men and their wives, wild boys and their
sweethearts, almost all on horseback, some
times by twos and threes, besides negroes
from great distance, on foot, being readily
captivatcd by the natural eccentric, for they
love anything that has laugh attached to
it, and they knew Lorenzo was good for a
rather a birthstone text, and made the APP
s'iohS PoSslDlCi DuI ~ ulu 1T
make much impression. At length he began
to describe the last great day, and what
would then be their condition. "Suppose
this were the day. exclaimed he, land
suppose Gabriel should now blow his trum
pet ~ AT this moment the little negro
showed he was Il trump" for from the top
of the lofty pine, loud and clamorous blast
overwhelmed the audience. The women
shrieked, and men rose in great surprise,
the horses tied round the camp ncighed,
reared and kicked, while the terrified ne
groes changed their complexion to dull
purple color. Never was alarm, surprise
and astonishment more promptly exhibited.
Dow looked with grave but pleased attention
upon the successful result of his experiment,
until the first clamor had subsidized, when he
impressively remarked =" And now, my
friends, if a little negro boy, witha tin horn,
feel so, how will you feel when the last great
day comes in real earnest ?'
