Mr W H Porter, Superintendent of Ph»nix Cotton

■ r J.^hn Kershaw, Sup't of Blount’s Cr««k Factory,
says: “I can cheerfully say your Lubrioating Oil is a
superior ai'ucle. It does not gum in the least, but keeps

Mr A F Beckerdite, Ch'ef Engineer of the C 8 Arss-

and sayw: “I thirk for light machinery—such as Cotton
Factories—and for heavy mactiinery when the motion

, RACSS! RAOSn—The infe
rior quality of tbe paper on which the
^ Obeerver has been printed of late, and
which is a great eye-sore to us, is owing to the want of
a sufficient supply of good rage, and the conoequent nec
essity to resurt to inferior materials. We appeal to the
friends of the Observer at all accessible points, to save
up and bring to town all the rags they can procure.
We have no time ourselves to attend to their purchase,
(tut Messrs. Geo W. Williams Co., the Agents in
tbis town of Mr. Murphy, will pay 16 cents per lb. for

Capt. John F. S. V*n Bokkelen, Lt A C. Sid-
bury, Lieut. E. J._ Garrison, Lieut. Henry W.
Potter, Lieut. Thos. J. Kelly and Lieut. John
P. Oates,
I'herefore Resolved, That whilst we bow with
submission to the will of our Heavenly Father,
and thank Him for His mercy thus vouchciafcd
to them in relieving them thus early from the
temptations, and toils, and straggles of this world,
we do yet remember the lessons of their lives and
the force of their good sxamples as seen in their
untiring attention to their duties as gBDtlemen, as
patriots, and as soldiers.
Resolved, That our remembrance of them rtiall
but stir up in us a livelier interest in that great
struggle for which they counted not their livM
dear unto themselves, and that so far as in os lies^
we, too, will carry on that great work which thw
80 manfully began, and which they sealed with
their hearts'* blood
Resolved, That we not only o£fer their families
and their friends eur deepest sympathies, bnt do
also joy and rejoice with them in tbe hope that
they do now rest from their labors, aud are en
joying the perfect peace and security that can
only be found in the Paradise of God, where ire ‘
truAt they are now safely resting.
Resolved, That whilst we record, not upon pa
per, the virtues of a single one of our brothers,
yet in our beart« are th 2eeds of eaoh and ot
all of them indelibly insoribed, where they wiil
remain as lasting mementoea of their lives.
Resolved, That we cannot thus formally speak
of the departed officers witlwut at tiie same time
alluding to the enlisted men of thi« regiment,
who, too, in tbe e^ame faoly eause. have departed
with them to the other world, Ikying down their
lives on the same aitar of s icriSee, with the same
devotion, the e me f«.n»^rgy, the same unse'.fi'*h*
net-s, and the panic love for their country, and
therrfore cntit'od to the rememheraiioe •
which they do non rec'-ive from us.
R esolved, Thttt to euumcr&te by name the great
number of the er.Iijt d men of this regiment
whose lives have been » aacrifiee upon the
altar of their ouuntrj, wuuld preclude the publi*
cation of tbis tribute of reuueoibranoe, therefore
we must be ouutcnted to mention them eolleetive*
ly, synjpathizing deeply, however, with their fam-
ifies and friends iu iliuir sad bereavement; wbilat
we do most revcromly oV>erieh the memorieS| and
gratefully recollect the deeds oi our noble dead.
Resolved, that the proocodingfl of Lhis meet
ing, together with the ros->(ut'ons, be pnbli!«hed

The Tithet in the Sf'xth District —Captain
King, Q. M. for the Sixth District, has furnished
us with the following true statement of the tithes
collected in this District, up to May 1st, 1864:
Sweet potatoes, 268| bushels; Irish potatoes, 204}
bushels; corn, 50,106^ bushels; wheat, 33,116
bushels; oats, 17,454^ bushels; rye, 665 bu-ihels;
buckwheat, 326 bushels; cured hay, 1,269,473 '.bs;
cur“d fodder, 794,652 lbs; sheaf oats, 435,791 lbs;
•huoks. 9,448 lbs; c.>tton, 4,7-301 lbs; wool, 6 008i
lbs; tohacco, 220i ibs; peas, 95f boshek; bscoo^
232,220 lbs; pork, 4,404 lbs.— GreenMborn’ Pat,
Affecting 7nci/«n.~During one of the sarics
of engagements which recently came off at the
front, as a body of our cavalry was being hotly
pressed by the enemy’s infantry and artillery, a
cannon ball came whizzing just over the head of
one of our boya, and passed between the le^ of a
brave fellow of the infantry who was just in the
rear of the cavalry and in the act of stepping
across a branch. Both legs of his pants were al
most torn off, but no 1amage was done to the sol
dier further than the loss of a finger. He stood
perfectly amazed at his almost miraculous escape.
While standing thus, the young cavalryman, near
whose head the ball had passed—^and, by the way,
as brave a boy as ever bestrode a horse or chased
a Yankee hyena to his lair—rode up and remark
ed: “That is the answer to a pious mother’s
prayers”. The soldier was touched to the l.eart;
and, bursting into tears, said: “Yes, he had a pious,
good mother. H«* felt that in answer to her prayers
he had escaped almost unharmed from the deadly
missile.”
Mother! let your boys in the army know that
Jon pray for them, and they wiil be bravor sol-
iers and better boys. A mother’s prayers is a
safer shield for her boj than bomb-proof fortifi*
oitioiia.
Excitement at the Military Prison.—Night
before last, the Commandant having been informed
that the prisoners, under the direction of Major
White, contemplated an emeute, quietly tOok
precautionary measures and awaited the result.
Between 11 o'clock, p m., and midnight, the
report of firearms and the long roll clearly showed
that the precautions had been snecessfal. One
prisoner was shot; the wound, though a painful
one, u not supposed mortal. A tunnel was dia-
oovered moet ingeniously cut, leading from the
fonadation of one of the buildings, through the
yard and beneath the fence- haYemeks filled
with provisions were discovered—-plainly shewing
the* preparations for the tramp. This is the
second tunnel attempt that has been frustrated
within the last week.

A Devout Regiment.-^TYie following is an ex
tract from a letter of R'- officer of the 18th Va.
Cavalry, Imboden’s Brig *de. It refers to the fight
of Gen. Imboden before the main battle near New
Market:
“Before the charge, and while we were in liney
the command to dismount was given, when oar
noble old Chaplain sang a hymn and thra prayed
—the whole regiment kneeling. It WM a solemn
and impressive sight just on the eve of battle.
And God blessed our arms with victory. The
Chaplain prayed that if it should please God we
might scatter our enemies, bat, O’ I preserve the
liTCf* of these dear ones, and prolong them for
Thy glory.”
Truly did God answer the prayer of the devout
old man—they v>ere soattorsd to the ton wiodt
and loe loit not • maa-"
