death.
I'm the death of Thomas Liddell we
mourn the loss of a brave man, who

the sad accident called him hence. In the
painful hour that followed his fatal fall,
he bowed the same heroic spirit he man
ifested during life. Death had no terror
for him He talked calmly his
approaching departure, and entered the
valley of shadows without a tremor. We
shall see his face no more, but he will

The Rev. J. Lester Wells oficiated, and
in the course of his remarks spoke az
follows
Concerning the heroes of the fire de-
partment we cannot say too much about
their valor and bravery in saving life
at the risk of their own. Great honor
is properly conferred upon the heroes of
war, where the work of the soldier. with
his glittering armour, sword and gun, is
to take life, but the work of the hremen
is to aye not only life but valuable prop
erty. We cannot praise and honor the
members of OUT fire department too
much.s

AN IMPORTANT DISPATCH.
Did Ii Determine the Fate OF the
Confederacyf

COnfederacyf
dispatch. says the Washington Star.
written by the Confederate General For
rest. dated September q, 1863 during the
movements of troops about Chattanooga
has recently been brought to light. Much
Importance has been attached TO this
document because Of the opinion at
tributed to General Longstreet that 1t
contained the instructions which deter
mined the fate Of the Confederacy. The
dispatch is a brief one, dictated by Gene
ral Forrest under most exciting condi-
tons. signed by him, and addressed TO
General Polk, who was asked 10 forward
II TO General Bragg. At the time the
message was written General Forrest
il is said, was making observations high
I'D in a tree on Missionary Ridge. He
had been sweeping the great battlefield
of ChicAamauga with his glasses; he be-
lleved he saw evidences OF an attempt
ON the part of General Rosecrans and his
army TO escape from the trap in which
the Confederates supposed they had
shared him, and In which they ex-
pected 10 capture him and his whole
army. He. then, calling down from the
tree. dictated the dispatch in question
TO lis adjutant who wrote it upon a
sheet Of dngy, blue paper with lead
pencil using an upturned saddle stirrup
as a writing desk. This dispatch aan-
nounced TO General Polk General For
rests belief that the enemy were evacu-
ating Chattanooga and his opinion that
the Confederate army ought to press for
ward as rapidly as possible.
WHAT BECAME OF THE DOCUMENT.
According to Holland" the New York
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Press.
the subsequent history of the dispatch
was as follows.
AS soon as the dispatch was written
