The Pdtrie states that there are at the
present time three American vessels al
Gambia. The same journal publishes an
article under the heading "The Mediter.
rapean Question:" in which the writer
grounding his argument upon the presence
of American ships at Gambia, and British
ships at Sicily, draws the conclusion that
the question at issue is more Meditcrra.
mean than an Eastern question.
The article continues thus:
"Let us not lose ourselves in the intrica'
cies Of the Eastern question. Let us con.
front this legion of political and CONNER.

from the first by the piercing of the 18th.

Mediterranean Powers will be equal to the
emergency. We will state more, should

Editor Staunton Spectator,-I under.
take to give you an imperfect account Of
an occurrence that took place at the widow
Wills's at the time of the death of her son,
who was captain in the Union army.
will give it to you just as it was told to me
which was in these words:
| The Union forces were all out of sight,
and then the rebels came in view-camc

the gate) asked question or two of some
one, alighted from his horse, threw the
bride reins over a post, and with slow
step, solemn mien, and reverently unco-
vered head, passed the threshold into the
room of the dead, the loved and lost. He
was not old, he was not young; stern he
was in look, not comely, yet there was a
something of bcnignity, and kindness, and
sympathy that cleaned out from under the
faded old cap drawn down over his fore
head. He gave calm, steadfast look at
the dead soldier-strong feeling was bat
Ting with the soul of the rebel officer, for
a trcmor played with his lips, and truant
tear wandered from his eye and believed
his cheek. A calm, steadfast look on the
dead soldier, on the widow, on the maid,
and then he said softly, kindly, "Let us
pray"
And oh ! the depth of the feeling-the
strength of the subdued earnestness in that
stern-loolIing, poor-clad, dust-covered re-
bel, as he commended in low but eloquent
words the widow and her brothcrless child
to the care, and the protection, and the
comfort of the mercitul Father of all. And
oh how he prayed that the angry surges
OF this ocean of war might soon be hushed
by the still, small voice of the All-wise,
and love be born Of tumult to the now dis
severed sections. 1t was deeply, touch
ingly pathetic. 1t was not long, but very
appropriate, very affecting, very sincere.
He rose-touched the cold hand Of the
dead soldier-gravely, lowly bowed to the
disconsolate widow with compassionate

the room, out of the house, mounted his
steed, and his horses hoofs were clatter-
ing down the road.
"Who is that ?" asked the chaplain of
some one standing near. "What officer is
that which has Just taken his horse and
ridden away ?" Stonewall Jackson" was
the reply. X.
