IN MEMoRIAM-
The announcement of the decease of Major
! CHARLES 81. STEWART, of the :'Stonewall
Brigade" fell like a pail upon our communi>
ty. Since the surrender he had been residing
upon the eastern shore of Maryland, and his
friends here were not appraised of his illness
until the sad tidings of his death were known.
His remains were brought here on Saturday
night last, and on yesterday morning were
entombed in Edge Hill Cemetery.
None were more sincerely loved and re-
sPeeted than Major STEWART, none could
die more sincerely lameuted. Possessing all
the gifts of an educated manhood, brave, gen.
erous and true, with heart overrnnning with
all the pure impulses that can ennoble our
nature,-a good citizen, a brave soldier, du-
tiful son, firm friend, he was in all the re-
iations of life a perfection of its brightest at
tainments. Faults he may have had-must
have had, but he was ever guided By the
purest motives and the highest sense of moral
integrity.
Pure hands decked his coffin in "immor-
tclles." The former Chaplain Of his regit
ment, the Rev. A. G. Hopkins, with a heart
full of irrepressible emotion-more eloquent
than words, oficiated in the last sad funeral
ceremonies of his beloved friend and fellow
soldier. A large concourse of friends and
acquaintance followed him to his tomb, and
as the clods closed over the mortal remains of
CHARLES HENRY STEWART, all felt-
E'That each hat lost a friend.'
