One of the Heroes of Humanify..-
DR.. =. r. Whitehead.

Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.l
VICKsBURG, Sept. 5.-This is the darkest
day we have had yet DIR. Whitehead il
dead. He was Kentuckian, and Kentucky
may we'll be proud of her son, and mingle
her tears with ours; for she has none left
that are nobler than he. He was the very
type of perfect man, strong as a lion, gen
tie as a woman, handsome as a god. Among
his professional brethren he was the ackpow
lodged head, yet none were more modest
than he. Nature had placed the stamp OF
nobility upon his brow, and he who ran
might read it. When the fever broke out
he might well have gone as others did. His
practice was confined to class of people
who have the means to go North every
summer, and who had gone this time; but
he stood by his people In the hour of their
need, and he died in the cause of humanity.
His name will add lustre to the diadem OF
glory already made brilliant by the names
of Booth. Barber, Bursley and Doll. Vicks-
burg will long remember him, and Ken
lucky will be untrue TO herself if high on
the roll of her distinguished sons she fails to
engrave the name of p. F. Whitehead.

Letter from GEN. FaIcomer,

HOLLY SPRINGS, Sept. II.
DEAR Col. POWER: [ do not know what
words to use. You have been so kind in
your minisUrations to the suffering people
of Mississippi, without regard to race or
locality We count the days as they pass,
and pray that our Heavenly father, in His
mercy, will stay the hand of the angel of
death.
Since my arrival here, two weeks ago to-
morrow, one hundred of the citizens of
Holly Springs have died. and among them
many of our best and n0blest. There are at
least one hundred and fifty now sick. There
are many convalescing, and we think the
worst has been encountered. The fever has
done its worst here; there are not over fifty
white people in the town liable to take il A.;
nurses and physicians are the only persons
seen upon our streets.
Yours truly and sincerely.

He cannot be forgotten. But his name
should not be left TO the fond memory OF
tradition alone. In our State cemetery at
Frank fort another shaft should be reared to
commemorate the deeds of those brave sons
of Kentucky who have fallen in the battle
with pesfilence. On this shaft should be
inscribed the name CT the brave and devot-
ed WHITEHEAD. and around it should be
gathered the names of all those who have
fallen in this summers terrible war, bat
ting at the front to save the stricken and
the doomed, or standing valianrIy at the
posts to which .hey were assigned by duty,
nnswerved by the dreadful devastation sur
rounding them.

ONE thing at a time, gentlemen. The
President is severely criticised for ia ling to
head great national substitution in aid

he be expected TO do anything of this sort
before determining the precise amount that
he will contribute to the Republican cam
paign fund? Some people were very un-
reasonable .-Philadelphia Times.
