OBITUARY NOTICE.

Capt. j. W. BROWN. Of Company !, 47th regiment
=. G. IT,, at Richmond on the 9TH Of this month,
om the effects of wound received in the fight at
'~ans' station, which occasion, we learn, he had
10 command Of the regment-his Colonel and
: .ieute- ent Colonel both being absent at home.
Capt Brown was,an excellent officer. lie was
ind to and considerable for his men, He never
.,led to execute An order if it were possible His
, ommanding officers had entire confidence in him
ind his company. He assisted in raising CON-
pany early in 49, and was elected Captain thereof
In 1863 he was complimented in a special order
issued by General Pettigrew for good conduct at
Rodman's farm. He was in the Gettysburg CAM
paign and remained with A. P. Hills Corps until
he was wounded He was with his company from
the beginning Of the fights about the Wilderness
and Spotsylvana, down to the Weldon Rail Road,
and his conduct on all occasions elected the praise
of officers and men. Gen. Lee in an order and a
letter to Gov. Vance especially commended the GAL
liant conduct of McRae's Brigade in the fight in
which he was MORALLY wounded. His memory
will be long cherished by bis comrades in arms
officers and men. His commanding officers always
lelt that the execution Of san order entrusted to
him would be faithful His children may we'll be
proud Of the name their father has left. No more
faithful soldier than he has lived or died
He leaves an afectonate wife and six little help
less children to mourn their irreparable loss May
the God Of nations be their guardian and friend

Pooh MARYLAsD.-A correspondent of the New
Yark Press writing from Baltimore, thus foreshad.
ows the result of the coming election in Maryland.
Il remains 10 be seen, however, whether either the
war" or peace loving friends Of Little Mac win tame
" submit to the arrangement. lie says:
In conversation with one of the most earnest and
indefatigable Union men of this city, I asked what
the feeling vas here about the Presidential contest.
He replied -" There will be no person run against
Mr. Lincoln in this city or State. We are united
on that The Rebels here are al known, and not
one will dare 70 vote. They must take the oath Of
allegiance to do so that is TOO bitter pill for them
: to swallow for Jumping jack like Mcclellan"
There is no doubt that there is more truth than
poetry in the above quoted extract; and it is more
than probable that the same game will be resorted
to throughout the States composing the present 30
called Federal Union For onr own part we have
never believed Mcclellan will be able to carry .
single State Lneoln's bsyonets will Be very apt
to settle that matter, whether his armies in the
South and around Richmond achieve any decided
success OK not. These are our opinions, and they
are given for what they may be worth. We shall

some quarters that Sheridan, after leaving part
Of his forces at Strasburg. will send the remain.
der to reinforce Grant The repair of the railroad
from Manassas to Strasburg win enable him to pro-
cure his supplies from Alexandra, and also facili
tate the transportation of his troops to Alexandria

of Grant The enemy has been repairing the Al
exandria and Orange road, but the removal Of the
materials from the Rappahannoek, where they had
been collected for the rebuilding the bridge across
that stream looks as if he had abandoned the idea
Of moving in the direction of Gordonsvile Passen-
gers from Fredericksburg say that six hundred Fed
eral cavalry were in Stafford on Monday last march
ing in the direction of fredericksburg; but as they
were IN the upper part of the county, they we're
probably only raiding party from the vicinity Of
the Orange railroad and not the advance ofan army
The concentration Of large force at Manassas,
must have been with the original intsstion Of NOV
ing in the direction Of Gordonsville but events in
the Valley may have caused him to change bis pro-

ton Of the aroops under Sheridan will be sent to

A BILL FOR ARMMs NEGR0Es-We understand
from an authority which we regard as altogether
reliable, that the features Of bill for arming the
negroes and placing them in the field is being cam
vassed by circle Of politicians prior to its intro
duction before the Confederate Congress.
The bill proposes:
lst To conscribs all the able bodied negroes of
the country between the ages Of Is and 49, respec.
lively.
I'd. To organize this force into regiments, brig
AIDES and divisions and to arm and equip them tho
roughly, as soldiers.
Sd. To officer the force thus organized from meri
torous soldiers and subaterns now in the field.
And 4th. To offer to each negro who serves faith
fully to the end Of the war, bis freedom.
1t is assumed by the friends of the measure that
its passage will at once supply two hundred and
fifty thousand fresh tIoops-tbat It will avert the
necessity for extension of the existing conscrip
tory limtsthat it is essential as the only means
Of immediate rsef-that it is ustable as An expe-
dient-that it will be popular abroad, and that in
short, it will insure successful repulse to the
swollen armies Of the North next spring.
The bill will be presented to the House by one
Of the most eloquent and influential Of its members
and is likely to form prominent arch in the de-.
bates of the session upon military affars--Aont

which is raised after every disaster, for more men.
If our reverses 10 most instances attributable
to want of numbers, then the continued sacri-.i ,

with more composure but when it every day be-

licly demonstrating with him to whom they have
entrusted the chief direction of affairs.

WAR NEWS.
From the VALLEY.

From the valley
dispatch from Charlottesville of the 18th inst,
says that Sheridan has marched with two corps Of
his army to the Eastern side of the Blue ridge,
through Thornton and Chester gap, This gap is
IN the Luray valley and opens into the great battle
ground of the Wilderness, and the vicinity of ma
nassas Junction. Gen. Early followed his army,
and finding one remaining corps under Gen. Crooke
in the valley, he engaged and drove it through
Strasburg, across Cedar Greek.
Sheridan dispatches North that he drove the re-
bel cavalry under Rosser 26 miles, capturing II
pieces Of artillery in all SO pieces since the 10th
September last Some of the artillery was used for
the hrst time On the 7th he was at Woodstock.
He says:
g In moving back to this point, the whole coun-
try fIom the Blue Ridge to the North Mountain has
been made untenable for rebel army. have de.
stroyed over two thousand barns filed With wheat
nay nay and farming implements; over seventy mills
hled with -four and wheat; have driven in front of
the army over four hundred head of stock and nave
Killed and issued to the troops not less than three
thousand sheep. This destruction embraces the
Luray Valley and the Little Fort Valley, as we'll as
the main valley. A large number of horses have
been obtained, proper estimate Of which cannot

The Valley is full Of bushwhackers, who have
done much damage to the Yankees, killing some Of
their best officers.
From Rishmond.
A dispatch from this City on the 18th says there
was no news at the War Department from any
quarter. The Sighting had not been renewed as
was expected on the northsids of the James. The
Yankee correspondents admit the repulse they lately
received ut this point also the loss oftwo batteries
From Petersburg.
All quiet along the front The enemy are said
to be still entrenching near Fort McIsae. Thursday
night last there was tremendous cheering in the
camps Of the enemy Supposed to be caused by
the intelligence Of the late elections at the North,
in Pennsylvania, OHIO, and Indians The Express
says that Mcclellan candidates received ten votes
to Lncolns one among the soldiers of these States.
This is hardly credible. ..
From Georgia.
Gen. Sherman has telegraphed Stanton to the 9th
that Atlanta and Altoona were safe, and that he
felt secure. He has 30 days ratlons. Nothing
later from either army Forrest has escaped across
keep silent concerning Gen. Hoods movements, but
we are assured the intelligence is cheering.
From the North.
Northern papers to the 18th have been received
in Richmond Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have
gone for the Republicans by large majorlties.
The Herald has the following about the elections
The Republicans have no doubt succeeded in get
ting majorities in each Of those States, and have
secured political preponderance in the delegations
thereof to the Thirty ninth Congress. The three

We are panied to announce the decease of the
Hon. JOHN R. DoNNELL, formerly of Newbern which
took place at his residence in this City on Saturday
morning last Judge Donnell had been in feeble
health for some time past and his decline was no
doubt accelerated by the condition of the country,
which had forced him from his home in New bern.
John R. Donnell was elected by the General As
sembly, when quite young man, Solicitor for the
Lcnoir judicial circuit and he afterwards cleo
ted Judge Of the Superior Courts of law and cqni-
ty-both of which offices he filed with credit to
himself and to the State. For many years past he
had given his attention to his farm and to the man.
agement of his large estate In many respects his
character affords fine model for the imitation of
our young men. He was studious and Pus in
his youth, and methodical and attentiveD1al the
details of his business when greatly advanced
in years but in addition to this, and what is more
attractive and more valuable in human character,
he was man of nfexible integrity, ofpure morals,
just in his dealings modest and atahle in his man
ners,-in a word, he was an enlightened Christian
gentleman, and filled the measure Of his duties as a
member of society and as a citizen and patriot He
has survived many of his cotemporaries, who en-
tered with him on the theatre of active life during
the war of 1872
We trust that some pen better fitted for the task
than ours, will do justice to his public and private
character.
