Public Speaking.

We had .some clever impromptu speaking
at the Depot on Monday. The Hon. VIM. O,
Goode, of Bedford, sat the solicitation of the
officers of the 6Sd Va. Regiment, addressed
the soldiers. We have neither time nor room
to refer to the subject matter of his speech,
! but it was patriotic, instructive and encourag-
ing. He was particularly seathing upon ex'
tortioners and spectators, and if there was
one present, with remnant of conscience left,
he must have felt like crawling into an augur-
hole.
As soon as Mr.: Goode retired, the soldiers
called out COL Robert Preston, of Montgome-
ry county, formerly of the 2Sth Va. Regiment,
who made. a few pertinent and pleasant re-
marks, to the great delight of the soldiers.
Col. Jones, of the Goth, was then called out,
and made short but. chasts and eloquent add
dress.
The Band in attendance favored the multi
tude with variety Of beautiful and inspiring
pieces, and the crowd dispersed in the best
humor Imaginable with themselves, but in the
best frame of mind in the world to whip all
the Yankees that could be placed before them.

.Canteen

: This word received its present form in the
French, who adopted it from the English, and
who have since taken it back with the French
modification. As originally spoken by the
Saxen, it was simply tin can, but the Gaul,
as.Is his wont, placing the noun before the
adjective, and pronouncing the letter as e,
brought it out cantin, pronounced canteen.-
Adopting thousand other French military
terms, the dull Englsmari took back his orr
ginal word in a new shape. without any in
quiries on the subject, and hence we now say
canteen instead of tin can,

IA The damage done by the enemy in the
late raid, was not IS great as We expected to
hear, but they did all the devilment the op.
portunity allowed. They burned or small
bridges between here and Bristol, and tore up
less than a mile of the railroad. They de-
stroyed about dozen cars and two worn out
engines belonging to the E. Tenn. & Va. road,
and one car belonging to our road.
The bridges and road could soon be rebuilt,
but we understand from the Lynchburg Re-
publican that the Company d, not intend to
repair until this part of the country becomes
more secure from raids, the trains meanwhile
stopping at the first break west Of Abingdon,
which is somewhere in the neighborhood of
Wallace's Tank.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1863.
Five DaysI.ater.

This fern was made up to be printed on
Thursday last, but ceuriers bringing in the
news that the Federal army, in very strong
force, was within few miles of Abingdon, and
rapidly advancing, we 'shut up shop" and all
hands entered the ranks ready for "a fight or
foot-race," where we remained until Satur-
day noon, at which time it was positively as
certained the enemy had taken the back track.
The enemy came within miles of Abingdon
on Friday, and within 5! of where Gen. w. z.
Jones had formed his line of battle. There
are hundreds of estimates of their numbers,
varying from 1900 to $4,000, but from the
best Information we can get, they passed
through Bristol with between and 5, 600,
and s pieces of artillery.
In retiring. they seemed to have given up
all hope of occupying the country, as they de-
stroyed as much of the railroad and as many
of the bridges as they could. Had they at
tempted to pass Abingdon, they would have
been soundly thrashed. Instead of fighting,
however, they turned their attention to robbie
~, devastation and plumber, and then sneak
ed off at double quick before half their num-
bers.

OBITU ARIES.

Died, on the battlefield of Charlottesville
on the Sd of May. 1868, Corporal BERRY P.
Phillips, aged about Fl years. Young Phil
lips was from Washington county, Va, and was
the son of John and Matilda Phillips. We have
been often, oh very often, called upon to weep
for those we loved; but seldom have we mourn
ed the loss of better soldier than him. Long
will he be remembesed in his regiment WITH feel
ings of admiration. He was brave to fault;
and being endowed with good health and q
strong constitution, he was always ready for du-
ty, and his cheerfulness spread mirti and joy
wherever he went. The writer of this short
sketch spoke to him but a few short hours before
his death, and found him in good heart and
and cheerful as usual, though it was then well
known that oar Gen. jackson was about to fall
like bolt of thunder upon the enemy, and that
many of us weHld lie low before sunset. Yet
beneath his sunny face there was feeling Of
great and powerful responsibility. A remark
he made to me on parting, left the impression
on my mind that he was thinking much of his
approaching end, and that at the close of the
conflict when his name was called it would be
pronounced with tear, and that his mess mates
could only say, ssHe died on the field of battle''
Young Phillips enlisted on the Ist of. May,
1852, and was in the battle of Princeton and
Kefy's Farm, in both of which he behaved in
such manner as to win the commentator of his
officers He was with his regiment. during
Loring's and Echols' expedition to Kanawha
Valley, and endured the privation and fatigue
of these severe campaigns without murnur.--
He was with the regiment during the frequent
forays of Gen. Pryor on the Blackwater These
were executed during mid winter, frequently
while sleet and snow were falling fast. Yet, even
though we had no tents or accommodations of
any kind, he neper gvum6led He went into the
battle of Charlottesville, as have said with
smile upon his face. At Charlottesville he
passed .unscathed through the heaviest fighting
OF Saturday., was among the foremost in the
heavy charge upon the enemy's works. and had
the joy to see the enemy flee in wild disorder
before us. The firing ceased. That part Of the
field was ours. Jackson's corps had done its
work for that day, and were preparing for what
was to come on the morrow, when the enemy
opened heavy fire of artillery upon Us, and
Philips fell. solid shot had completely taken
his right leg off above the ankle. He was car
ried to the hospital, but only lived tillthe next
day. When his Captain found him on the field,
he only remarked, Ahere lies poor Pat His
smiling face was transformed into the chilliness
Of death, and his life-blood was flowing fast,
yet he murmured not word; only saying "here
lies poor Pat" He lies now near his own noun.
