Col, Dawson's Lec. Urr.

Although Exceedingly uowel, we attended Colonel
Dawson lecture at the Theatre "Wednesday night.
The Colonel was Introduced by Hon. S, j. PERsoN,
who alluded in f5w feeling remarks 10 the objects for
which the Colonel was lab0rng, and paid deserv ed
tribute TO the gaanry and sufcri gs of the Kentucky
soldiers in the Confederate army, and to the patriotism
and disrterested efforts of their distinguished advc
cate.
The Coione5 lecture proper was we suppose, ornate
and schoarlke but, being in The nature OF abstract
generalization, rather didacic than oratorcA, more
like reading out OF book than talking to man,
gave less scope to the Colones peculiar powers, and
We think excited less interest in his audience than did
the larger ard more characteristic portion devoted to
the special objects Of his miseon-a vinaication of
Kentucky aid appeal on behalf of her suf-
iering soldiers. His reference to President
DAVIS, 10 SToNEwAEL JACKGoN and 10 Ger
raj LEE were eloquent and impressive. But
it wgs " with bis foot upon his native heath -
when be spoke of lis native Stale with the feeling OF
long absent but still devoted that the speaker gave
the fullest scope to bis powers mpassioned orator.
aud II there at times pEoasion CT imagery, that,
while it dazz;ed, eornetimes confused the mind, aid
might be liable TO the criticism OF colder, and per-
bal s. more correct TASTE few would care to put
trant upon SOD of Kentucky, defending the honor
and aging tribute to the virtues of his beloved moth
erof pleading The cause Ct bis suffering broth
ers and countryman.
We confess ourseVt unable 10 assent to Of the
Colone's history and philosophy but that may have
arisen from inability to comprehend follow him
at tinas. Something OF that kid, suppose.
We have reason to believe that Col DAwsoNs eforte
here have bsn crowned with mos gratifying success
due mainly, doubt TO the efforts of the ladies of the
Soldiers Aid Society, to whom the orator paid most
glowing tribute
The object for viii? Colonel DAWSON labors is q
most noble oae ard trust that h8 appeals may ev-
erywhere meet with prompt ard liberal response.
We feel unable, and we conceive it to be unnecessary
to 60 into, or attempt any heightened report
Those at other points who wish to hear what the Col
onel has got to sy will go and hear him. and thus enjoy
the pleasure of listening to bis orat DRY, and be certain
of contributing to a noble object.
It was annouocedat the conclusion that any persons
who had not contributed and were anxious to contrib
ute, could do By sending their contribu. ions to the
President of the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society," Mrs a.
). DERossET.

PHYs1cAL PAIN OF DEATH.-A paragraph is going
the rounds of the papers giving the opinion OF L'd
Bacon and Others, that the pam OF hanging Is lncon-
adorable It is asserted for example, that after mo
mentary feeling of sufoca'ion, bright colors dance
before the eyes and stretch away into vtas of ndes
criheble ovelinezs There is 10 reason to doubt the
truth of this declaration, because numerous instances
have occurred of persons berg cut down before lite
was extinct and it was on the authority OF Wel-au-
thencated examples of this character that Lord Bacou
and others founded their opinion Moreover, banging
in its effect on the human organism, produces results
very similar to those produced by some natur diseases
so that this also affords a criterion Tor judging. In
cases of drowning likewise the testimony is universal
that the physical PAIN up to the moment of conscious

There Il a disposition in the North to regard this
campaign as last effort and there is no disposition
whatever to endure the sacrifice which another cam
paign would require And it may well be doubted
whether in such case pressure from without might
not be applied to increase the dependency within

Rendezvous of Distribution, Va.

In our last weeks paper we completed the
publication of the reports of the different de-
partments of camp, and we this week conclude
the sketch of it's operations by presenting our
readers a synopsis of it's general history, as en-
tered upon the official records of the post. Thls
brief but finished document exhibits in detail
the organization and operations of the camp,
and its perusal will, doubt, afford solid salts
faction and information to our readers =
To carry out Par. 2, S. o. No. 20, G. s. War
Department, the camp was reorganlzed In Feb
ruary last into three (3) Divisions, as follows
list. End, and Deserters' Divisions respecti' ely.
The LIST Division is composed of enlisted men
for duty, belonging to the army of the Potomac.
The End Division includes enlisted men Tor
duty, from almost every department except the
Army of, the Potomac. .
The Deserters Division comprises men deliv-
cred to this station as deserters
The work of the camp may be described prlehy
as follows:
All men received are first taken to the Rece1v-
ing Office, the rolls or lists, if any accompany
them, are called and verified; if no rolls or lists
accompany them, (as is frequently the case,g the
name, company and regiment are taken from
the mems own statements, and carefully record
ed in this office, in book kept for that purpose
