INTERESTING FUNERAL SERv1cE.-In another
column will be found the notice Of the obseouies
OF the late EDWIN l.. MOSES. He was for many
years Sergeant in the old "SuMrER GUARDS"
Volunteer Company Of this city, and when the war
broke out no, like many others OF the brave and
gallant Palmetto boys, followed the call of duty,
and was connected with the army in various ca
pacities to the last year of the war; At the time
ofthe evacuation OF Charleston he was ordered to
report in North Carolina. The supposition is that
in making his way to his place of destination he
was captured and taken to Camp Chase az a
prisoner. He fell sick about the 9th Of June last
and died Of pneumonia, on the 18th of the same
month. His remains have been brought to his
native city, where this day they will be gathered
with those OF his fathers, in the "Garden Of Life"
as the Israelites touchingy call the last resting
place Of their earthly body.

English Reviews and Magazines. "ThePeninsula of |
Sinai: Notes OF Travel therein" very interest

the Magazine is full OF good things. The Eclectic

ing the numerous rivals it now has to contend
with, we believe it still holds it's own
