] Col. II. W. Watson fell ut his post, hi
: place was hard to fill, but the committe
called on Col. Kinlock Falkner, Secretar,
OF the State, who was nursing his brother
a and he responded ~ am at your service
This duty he faithfully and thorough,
performed until the dreaded monster iel
upon him and he was borne to his homl
that he was the only State official that re
, mained ut his post at Jackson In dischargt
OF his duty, he should be especially hon
ored. He would be there to-day, but he wa
summoned here by telegram stating tllat
his father and brother were down with
fever. Like true son and brother he
came and those OF us who have seen how
devotedly he has done his duty, can bear
testimony that inthis distress he is man
whom aH men should delight to honor.
Already we have spoken OF Col. Walter,
but we little dreamed that he would be 50
suddenly taken from US. live could weep
we would weep; II we could mourn We
would mourn; ii we could tell the woe and
the heartache, there would be tears; there
would be mourning; there would be oil
that sorrow and distress could ask; but
tho silence OF the tomb peryade the hearts
Of our little band. The best have gone
down and we have asked others to take
their places. In not an instance have we
seen the one that would refuse to take his
place wherever We assigned him. This Is
no time for compliments, but when the
day comes the public shall know who has
stood by us. We had no tears, but there
is a time when they will flow and that is
when we read the kilograms, the letters
from friends far away. Tell them they
give us heart and make us stronger, better
and brighter. But for this we would feel
heart sick and weary, and this suffering
people tender their prayerful thanks for
4 the kind and generous assistance their
friends in all parts Of the Union have
given. .-.-.,.7, r-s.-- -,,, ,.-I
