Rect., and son Of Jas.S ana MARY A. HARRISON,
the subject Of this brief notice, was born March
elss1S45, and cnlistod for the war in tho above
named Company at the time of its organization,
when he was scarcely more than l6 years OF age.
He served his country most faithfully upon tho
Coast Of South Carolina, in the Virginia, Maryland
and Pennsylvapia campaigns, and in tho West. as
a soldier he wasehcerful brave and promps-ever
ready and willing to discharge his duty. 1t is
enough to say that he belonged to KHRsHAw's
Brigade, LoXGsrREEr's Corps, and rs a soldier of
such q command has ever acquitted himself with
honor. At the baltic Of Chickamauga-hiS gallan-
try, was such rs to uif tho admiration of all who
witnesssdit. In aheavy skirmish near Knoxville,
on the 18th Of Nov. last, while nobly fighting for
Southern rights he fell dead, pierced through the
right breast and left thigh.
Endowed. with energy and perseverance, he
rad only to have liTed to hare made for himself
q name and left an impression Of his worth which
the lapse of years could only havo efaced; but
he was cut down in the very bloom of youth,
when the qualities which characterized the man
wcrs just being fully developed.
1t grietes tho writer to think how inadequate
the use Of the per must of necessity DO when an
attempt is made to do justice to the memory of
one so gifted, gallant and noble.
He.has left behind him, fond parents, an affec-
tomato sister and two youthful brothers, to whom
We offer our sincere sympathies.
A short time previous to The departure Of his
Regiment from Virginia to go to Chattanooga, he
sent the accompanying farowolL address TO his
parents. whom ho so dcyotedly loved, in which he
so tenderly tolls them that if it be Gods viii that
he shauld fall in the defence of his country Ae vas
ready.te make the sacrifice.
Farewell to thoo father! although I am young,
I go the wars wild alarms,
Our country to save from oppression and wrong,
Or dFc With my comrades in arms:
Farewell, father, dear! I may never again
Fondly gaze on those locks thin and gray;
But if in the conflict of battle / amFslain,
To meet thee in. Heaven I pray.
Farewell to thee, mother! No love is like thine,
So lasting, so deep and so pure;
And ] trust, through the goodness Of Providence,
Toretern to thy bosom secure.
Farewell mother, doar /! If I die far way,
Thy Heart will be grieved for thy SON,
But God will sustain thee, and Gauge thee to, say,
"Thy will, Righteous Father, be done"
Farewell to you, brothers too /! Dear little boys,
You know not tho meaning Of foe
May God make me strong in defence Of the cause,
And save You, my brothers, from voc.
Fareyg!l, my dea. brothers. pc loving and good,
And mind whatd dear mother may say;
Your brother will ceme back if best that be should,
For God can his enemies slay.
Farewell, sister, dear sSSsshcn / think OF the wrong,
The fends would inhict if they could,
I can scarcely refrain from ~Polluting my tongue,
With a curse on the black-hearted brood.
Farewell, my dear sister! may God keep you pure,
Surrounded with comforts and friends,
And blcst with t~he.grace that alone can secure,
The bliss that we know never ends.
Farewell 10 you all and my last it may be,
But may God whom I reverence and fea-,
TO a home that is blcst, in land that is pure,
Bring safely tho young Volunteer,
