A New Heroine OF the wsr-PsrticuIsr,
GfJohn Morgan,s Death.


The Richmond E1dminer states the circum-
stances of the capture and death Of the noto-
rIous John Morgan, as follows: Morgan made
a reconnaissance almost alone, and quartered
himself at house near Greenville, where re-
sided the wife Of an officer of Gen. Burnside's
staff, named Williams. After Morgan was
snugly in bed Mrs. Williams mounted horse
and rode fifteen miles to q camp Of Union SOL
dlers and piloted q detachment of them back
to tho house.
When Morgan found the house surrounded,
he attemped to escape through the yard at the
rear of the premises. Being confronted by our
soldiers he drew his revolver, swearing he
would not be taken alive, and attempted to
charge through the line. A volley was fred at
him and bullet through his brain put an end
to the infamous career of the notorious John
Morgan.

The SOLDIER GRAVE OF Our CoUNTRY.-The
Rev. DR.. Bartol thus eloquenty describes II:
4" What tomb, far and wide, over the paral-
lels of latitude, the populous land has become!
The soil OF Kentucky and Tennessee, the
sH amps of the hickahominy, the waters of
the Mississippi and the Gulf into which 1t
flows, the long line of the dreary hospitals on
whose cots of pain some last breath is merci-
fully each moment drawn, will not restore the
victims they have claimed. The burial places
on the field of slaughter at Murfreesboro' and
Cedar Mountain, IN the Valley Of the shenan-
doah, and around the heights Of Vicksburg,
yield not up their dead, till the heavens be no
more, from the sod of the soldiers graveyard.
"Have you thought what sort of graveyard
that one of the soldier isl II Is no fair spot
granted by municipal authority, or chosen by
the selectmen Of the town, for a quiet resting
place to those who, at length, in the course Of
nature, must expire, and where, as the bard
tells US
Rude forefathers Of the hamlet sleep.'
No beautiful fence of painted wood or more en-.
during iron surrounds 1t. No granite portlco,
engraved with soothing sentences Of consolation
or kindling words of Inspired prophecy, over
arches its entrance. No polished marble monu-
ments deck each private enclosure, nor do
pious hands plant flowers or fetch wreaths;
nor is the place selected where the north wind,
as one desired, blows freely, or some whisper
ing pine or some yew-tree will breathe the low,
plalntive murmur of perpetual dlrge over the
ashOs of the loved and lamented.
"No; but when the leader of the host begs
truce TO bury his dead, what asks he leave to
dot To cash and trench the ground in what
coarse and summary way, with brief prayer,
and no hearse or procession; shovelling in the
heaps of CORY mortality, as he does the un-
valued clay and gravel in which they are SO
hastily and specifically hid Yet, If for con-
science, If for country, If for man and for God,
the souls once animating this dusty, dlsre-
garded refuse have contended, no glorious
