Haris Barksdaie, EGG. I;
DEAR SiR:--I enclose printed account OF
the circumstances connected with the death
of Gen. Barksdale. In addition to my hasty
account, written on the battlefield, would
say that Gen. BarkstiAle was brought under
my care about dark. My hospital atten-
dants told me that he had beautiful gold
watch which did not see. The watch was
taken by some one belonging to different
corps, one who was a stranger to myself and
men.
lsecured three studs, which send you.
Being the only responsible person at the
death of the General, should have taken
the watch, but the idea OF robbipg the dead
deferred me from securing that also for you,
and have often since regretted that did
not take tho watch.
The men In the bitches had all the shovels
and tools in use throwing up works, and it
was with great difficulty that got grave
dug this accomplished under my personal
supervision, and not having nails, hammer
nor Ratchet, nor board, l buried him in
blanket, and marked the grave with legible
superscription, stating name, rank, State,
command and date Of DEATH
The studs viii send by Adams Express
to you, atJackson, Miss. These arc all tho
effects ] have and tho only expense attend
ing them will be the express charges Incl
dent to their transportation.
If there is any thing else that you desire
to know, and it is in o. power to respond, 1
stand ready to answer cheerfully.

the Gettysburg Cemetery aDd will, If lean.

The printed letter, pnblished at the time,

The friends Of Gen. Barksdale, and partlc-
ularly his comrades In arms, who cherish
with fond affection his memory. win road
with much interest the subjoined papers
from the pen -of DR. A. T. Hamilton Qate
Surgeon in the United States Army Of
Lewistown, Pennsylvania, relating the par
ticniars Of his death, which had not been
before known to his friends. A kind chance
gave them the information that this noble
hearted christian gentlemab and generous
foe, attended him after he had fallen mortal
" wounded, into the hands Of the enemy.
which led TO the correspondence we are
permitted to publish. In continuation Of
the narrative, we will state that hisremains
after having been inferred as stated by Dr.
Hamilton, were exhumed and embalmed
under the direction Of parties in the North,
who know his rank and distinction, and, adj
mired bis characters and were there cared for
until they were borne by the hands Of aiieci
ton TO his beloved State, and committed to

We do not see how our city cotem-
porary can reason himself into the
belief that the military supremacy pro
vided for in the late action of Congress
will be ''transitory." On the contrary,
we assert that it is settled and fixed
and even If it might finally be shaken
by the Supreme Court, its work will
ere then be accomplished. The bill
provides for its own enforcement. II
the people Of Mississippi accept the
situation, Congress is pledged under
the provisions Of this bill. as soon as
its terms are complied with, 10 admit
our Senators and Representatives 10
their seats in Congress. and relieve us
from military domination 4
We oughtto have learned by this
time, that Southern opposition has
been Of little avail against the determi-
nation of the North. Congress repre-
sents Northern sentiment, and thae Is
no indication OF change. We bust
