DEATH OF Coz. WELcH.-The most
profound regret is felt and expressed
in this vicinity at the Fate Of Col. NOR
VAIL L. WELcn, Of the 18th, who had
many acquaintance here as old asso-
ciates and new friends by whom he
was universally beloved and respected.
We extract an account of his death
from the correspondence of the N. Y.
Herald, giving tho details Of the bat
tie of Poplar Springs:
"A commission TO him who first
mounts the parapet of that redoubt,"
shouted Colonel WEIGH, Of the 10Th
Michigan, to his men. "Follow me"
He led his regiment. He was the
first to mount the parapet, when he
waved his sword. In an instant a
rebel bullet penetrated his brain, and
he lay dead. The men followed sim
ultaneously and mounted the works at
different points, the colors of some
half dozen regiments floating trium-
phantly where a few moments before
rebel colors had Haunted their traitor
Gus folds in the breeze. 1t is won
der that there should be different
claimants for the honor of being the
first to plant the Stars and Stripes on
the works? All behaved magnificent
ly, and all are deserving of life and
honor. Nearly a hundred prisoners
were captured and one cannon. The
enemy got off his remaining guns, but
not all his horses.

Rebels under Lee preparing for des-

burg reported very strong. Fears of

The very latest telegraphic intelligence
from Richmond, is that the rebels are
strengthing their works, also their
force opposite our extreme left, and
are preparing to drive us from our
new position.

TO THE POKER.

Tho subscriber takes this method Of informing
the readers of the Poker that he has actually ex-
pressed an opinion, and still is of the same to- wit:
rather see daughter of mine marry an in
telligent honest negro man, than an ignorant
mean white man" not ia common white lobor-
ing man." as the Poker has 1t; and don't hes-
tate to say still further, that If white and black
were equally well educated and good, would
even then leave my daughter her choice, after
explaining to her the possible consequences in re-
gard to the prejudiced white part of society.
l was educated myself without such aiistocrat-
lie prejudices against poverty or color; esteem
all human beings alike. when showing their right
for such by certain degree of cultivation of
heart and mind, and always feel the deepest in
terest in seeing them that have had no chance to
develop their intellect, seek such cultivation in
good schools-may the seeker DO white or black.
Renson as well ms your God, that you so ostensi-
bly, worship don't know Of any difference in
mankind as regards color, il sees only upon the
heart and the good will. And hold the real
happiness Of my children higher than such a
false shame or pride
My object in answering the intended SANDER,
but which as showed, is only in part lie, is to
let the Poker know that thought and I believe
every supporter Of the Poker thought II to be the
means of bringing to light and expose facts that
could not we'll be touched by law, to warn the
public Of secret villains and prohibit new perpet-
