DEATH OF MRS. HARRISON.

The CHM. GaseRe Of the 29th ult.
speaking Of the death Of Mrs. Genera
HARRIS ~, makes the following briel
aud appropriate remarks a mother Ia
fsaracl has departcd---another of thos,
pioneers who are passing away nearly
oil gone, and Of whom Il may soon be
said. "They are all gathered to ,heiI
fathers" Coming generations will
reap tho fruit Of their lnbors but tbeir
faces will be seen no more.
Mrs. HARRISON was tho daughter oI
JoHN CLEvEs SYMMEs, the original pur.
clnscr Of the Miami country. She was
married to the Hon. Captain HARRISON
who commanded Fort Washington, soon
alt CT the departure Of General WAYNF
for the Atlantic States, probably in 1896.
She had, therefore, been foriy-fye years
married when her husband, then Prcsi.
dent Of the United States, died, md more
than twenty years since, widow. What
varied life Of trial and experience was
that, which, beginning as pioneer child
In the Miami country in 1889, has lived
scycnty-fuur years since, and sxiy.fvc n
wife and widow. But Mr.. HARRIsuN's
life comprehcndcd vastly more than this.
She was with her husband os he passed
through all tho stations Of civil and Of
military career. She married him as
Captain HARRISON. She saw him as
General aud Commandcr-in-Chicf, Mem.
ber Of Congress, Senator, Governor, aud
President. Sho was with him in pros
perity and advcr3ity. for they wcro COM
.pcllcd to see, in various ways, not Il liz.
tie Of ndvcrsity. In this long career,
Mrs. Harrison never failed in any Chris.
rian duty. Perhaps, her most distinct
life, in which her husband and fnmi ly
were so much called 20 act, was her
want Of any love of show, or inordinate
ambition. 70 all th, alurcmcnts Of
public lite, she was Indifferent; but qni-
city pursued thj humble, discrcot, self
denying Offices of Christian woman-
In fact, Mrs. HiRRtslS was n pioUs, de-
voted, benevolent Christian pursuing
tho duties Of tho Christian life, with ok
emplary fidelity. Her character is sum
med up in paragraph, from Howe S
2" Ohio" "Sho is distinguished Tor her
bcncvocncc and h,r picty all who
know her view her with esteem and af-
fcclion and her whole course through
life, in all its relations, has been charac-
tcrzcd by those qualifications that com &.
plclc the character of an accomplished
matron."
Whom such mntror, who has seen
husband, children and even grand. chill
dren descend before her to the grave,
shall depart full of grace, aud leaving
her fruits behind, who shall lament -
Tho aged trunk has fallen, but the spirit
has gonc to God, who gave it. Blessed
are tho dead who die in the Lord.

NuMnEnLANp GAP, Fob. 81


On the 22d inst, battalion Of the
Iowa Cavalry, stationed on the Virginia
Road, five miles west, were surprised at
daylight aud surrounded by large force
of rebels.
The cavalry and two companies orin-
fantry on the 9lst Indiana, and I'd North
Carolina were with the command of Col
onel Duyis. The company Of the olst
Indiana in charge of Lieutenant Wise,
cut their way through, with a loss Of
three men, and escaped. Four officers
and about sixty Of Colonel Davis men
also succeeded in making their escape,
but the rest of the command were proba-
bly, captured.
At the same time the rebels attacked
our outposts at powcl's Bridge, on the
Tazcwcll Rood, five miles south, con-
sisting Of fifty men, in charge of Captain
Packering, OF the Saith Kentucky Infan-
try, supported by block-housc, but the
tbeli were repulsod three times, when
Captain packcring with his men were
withdrawn to prevent their being cut off
from the Gap. Colonel Davis is said TO
be severely wounded.

der Of the day. Skirmishing continued
till holf-past one, when Gen. Palmer
sent Gen. Turchin's brigade, Of Boards
command, to drive the rebels from anoth.
or hill, on the right Of the valley and
nearly opposite the one occupied by Col.
Grose. The brave boys Of the brigade
went in with n will, chased the enemy
from the foot Of the hill and across the
summit, but when they reached the top
they were met by destructive fire from
a superior force posted about half way
down the other side which compelled
them to withdraw, the enemy not at
tempting to follow. This was the Sc
verest conflict Of the day. Heavy skr.
mishing continued till night,
About three o'clock Gen. 1forgan,s
and Col. Dan McCook's briqades, of
Gen. Davis command, moved up into
gorge on Tunnel Hill, ard after driving
the enemy some distance, were assaulted
by fierce raking and cross-fire from ar
tillery, before which they Withdrew
Gen.. MorgaB's brigade lost considcra-
bly,.
After niPhtfall our troops began to re-
turn, and to-day we are no further ad.
vanced than Tunnel Hill, which we
still continue to hold.
AS reconnaissance, the nfTair has
been entirely successful, rcn citing much
credit upon the bravery aud endurance
Of the troops, and skill and prudence of
the leading officers. No further doubt
remains of the enemy's presence at Dal-
ton in strong fo.cc-at least four divis-
ions, as has hccn repeatedly telcgraphed
you from Chattanooga. The country
around Dalton is a succession of narrow
valleys and rocky ridges, exceedingly
available for defensive purposes.
Part of CleLurnc's division, which
started on the evening Of the 2lst to
join Polk. returned in time to take part
in the fight.
Our whole loss will not cxooed 300.--
That of the rebels Is greater.
