silvania from an ocean of debt, and it is to
his credit mainly that the finances of the

twenty years. Very few States of this u

Farewell dear Charlie, with sorrow we leave
thee,
In the grave calmly sleeping. secure from all
strife;
No pain, and no sorrow, nor harm shall there
reach thee
Or hinder thy waking again into life
We loved the most dearly, the parting was
fearful,
1t grieved us to lay thee so soon in the grave
But He who first gave thee, has seen fit to take
thee,
And we still trust in his power to save,
With the sound of the trumphet, the Savior
descending.
Will wake all the nations; the sleeping will
rise;
We hope then to meet thee in glory immortal.
With voices seraph ic, the Savior to praise"
More: It would perhaps be consoling to the
relitves and friends Of the late Sergt. Hemphill,
to know thatit was merel lack of time, that pre-
vented a Company meeting, and passage of Reso-

can now only repair the delay, by the meeting of

a meeting of the undersigned officers and
members of the late Co. Z, the following
preamble was read and abodted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God,
in his affecting dispensation, to remove from
us by death, our esteemed comrade and
brother soldier, Charles f. Hemphill, leav-
ing US to deplore his untimely loss; And
whereas, this body being duly impressed
with a sense of his attachment to the COM
pany, and of his amiable disposition, and
as proper respect for his memory demands
suitable action on the part of Co. +, it is
th erefore
Resolred, That Co. F., in the death of
Sergt. Hemphill, has lost a worthy and eff
fcient member, and the Union brave sol
dier. Generous to fault, manly and winning
in his ways, he made himself unanimously
beloved by his associates and by attention to
duty won the esteem and respect of his su-
perior officers
Resolced, That we sincerely sympathize
with his friends in their very severe bereave-
ment, in the common loss that we have sus-
tanned; and by it they are solemly admonished
of the extreme uncertainty of life and the
instability of human affairs, and that we
hereby tender to them our sympathy and
regard.

WASHINGTON, October 5. Secretary
Seward, who left Washington yesterday
afternoon with his family for Auburn,
New York, is isexpected to be absent about
ten days.
Minister Clay has transmitted TO the
State Department an official copy of the
conditions stipulated between the Russian
Telegraph Department and Hiram Tiblen
for the establishment of telegraphic COM
munication between Russia and America,
by which the exclusive right is granted to
the latter Plenipotentiary of the American
Western Union Telegraph Company for
thirty-three years from the day the line
shall be opened, the Russian Government
to grant further term as it may Judge
convenient. f
In order to encourage the Government
grants to the company an allowance of 40
per cent. on the net product of dispatches
transmitted by it over the line to and from
America, and in order to contribute as
much as much as possible to the success of
the present undertaking. the Rublic Min
istry will adopt the measures necessary for
securing the company's telegraph from be-
ing maliciously injured by the local popu-
| lation, but at the same time the Govern
ment refuses to take upon itself any re-
sponsibility for such injurses, of any nature
whatsoever. The company is allowed to
import materials free of duty.

We ara indebted to our accomplished
minister at Constantinople, Hon. E. Joy
Morris, for the Levant Herald, an Eng
lish daily paper, published in the city of
the Constantines. 1t is well printed, and
full of news. The following items show
that Copperhead hatred and Ignorance
upon American financial policy have first
rate imitators in Constantinople:
"The most important incident of the
news from the United States is the publi-
cation of the official statement respecting
the public debt. 1t computes the entire
debt to be about 81, 1000, 900, bearing
Sl39, 900, 900 interest. But there Is an un-
pleasant rumor current that the statement
of the debt is not correct, and the total
amount has been made too small by about
sl5QOOO. 600. This difference is made by
not adding the whole of the later sub
.serfptioiis to the loan sof the debt, and i
the rnmor be true the debt really amounts
to over $4,000, 100000. There is a strong
feeling IN many parts of the country agai'ls
his national debt, and it appears to eris
IN its greatest intensity IL the Neao EHgldnC
