DIED,

At mis- residence, in Berkeley county,
w. Va. on Tuesday the 18th inst, Capt.
J JAMES w. GRAY, in the 56th year of
h...,, age.
Capt. GRAY was native of Berkeley
county, and born in the house where he
breathed his last. His life was one Of
usefulness and honor. His fidelity in
all the relations he was called to fill,
secured to him the highest respect and
confidence of those who knew him. 10
the duties of domestic life, he was as
siduously and tenderly devoted, and his
obligations as a neighbor, citizen, magis-
trate Of the county, and representative
of the people in the Legislature of Vir-
ginia were fulfilled with great ability.
faithfulness and success. His last illness
was of several weeks duration, and of a
most painful character but notwith-
standing his intense sufferings, he was
resigned and accomplishing He recog-
nized with a reverential spirit and fiial
trust that Providence whose ways. tho
often shrouded in mystery, are all or
dered in righteousness and love. Be-
lieving that the end of his earthly course
was approaching, he calmly directed in
the arrangement of his worldly affairs,
illustrating in all that he did, the same
scrupulous regard for right, and the
same noble generosity Of spirit which
had characterized his whole life. When
the summons came, calling him hence,
with the serenity of Christian faith, he
committed his sorrowing family to the
care of his Heavenly Father, expressed
his firm conviction that all would be
well, and peacefully closed his eyes upon
the scenes of earth. to open them, as we
doubt not. amid the glories of q higher
and holier state.
In this death the community has lost
one of its most valuable members.-an
aged and venerable mother a most af-
fectionate on,-and united and loving
household, its devoted, beloved and
honored head. The example he has left,
both in life and in death, will be a rich
heritage both to his children and to all
who knew him.

WAR AND WARRIORS.

W ar also aWakens within Us a
deep interest, because it calls into action
the highest energies of our nature, in
their highest degree. There is a charm,
a mysterious spell upon Us when we
look upon the scenes of a battle-iield,-
much like that we feel when we look
upon the workings of some resistless
force in the material world. Man, girded
in his mightiest strength ,arrayeda against
man equally panoplied for the fight.
Every power he possesses, is here seen
in its intensest activity, and in its deep
est intensity. There is no tritling III
such an hour. The soldier plays not al
fencing with the angel OF death. What
ever of power, or skill, or daring he
possesses, it is now put forth to the
almost. And in this deadly encounter,
this exhibition of energy, this intensity
Of passion this conflict of all the ele-
ments of power subject to human control
we feel that there is t, grandeur, a ter
rifle sublimity, which no other spectacle
on earth can exhibit. The key to much
OF the interest with Which We regard
the successful warrior is found in the
