' ; ' i ' In the Senate of. the Confederate Stafesast Mon day, Mr. Semmes, of La., 'introduced t the fallowing , resolution; which was ordered to be printed and laid; on the fable : - ,.' . Resolved, -by the Congress of the Cotifederate States ..of America, 'rtiat the prochimation of Abraham Lin coln, President of ;t he United States of America, issued at the city of Washington on the22dday of. Septem ber; in the year I8G2, wherein he declare that m the llrst day of January, in the year of our Lord," 1863, , all persons held as slaves within any State or designa ted part of a Slate, the, people whereof shall be in re hellion against jiio United; States, shall be thencefor ward and forever free, 13 leveled against the citz'hs of the Confederate States, and as such is a gross vio lation of the usuagcAof civilized warfare, an outrage fupou private pii ptrty andjin invitation to a servile war, atul tlierefore. should ife held up to the execra " lion of mankind. . a'ffjl counteracted by sitch severe re taliatory masu'ress, in the judgment of the Presi-'- dent, may be best calculated to secure its. withdrawal or arrest its execution ' ' - . ' ' ' Mr. Clark, of Missouri, said the resolution did not ,0 far enough.' He thought the Pi esident should be authorized immediately to proclaim 'that, every person , found in arms against the Confederate Government and itsjnsu tut ions on our soil, should be put to death, and thaFevery citizen of the Confederacy be pro-" claimed asoldier, for the time being, to execute the proclamation5 upon the persons of every murderer, thief and 8Com.dret endorsed and acting under the pruelamatkmr L.Incoln. Our pe ople have been mur r dercd, our property destroyed, arid now-ihis last nnd atrocious measure u? proclaimed. It isiow a matter of life and death. Let us meet the exigency.. The resolution was not sufficient. He moved its reference . to. a special committee. 5. ' - Mr. Semmes, of La considered the question of re taliation as an executive question, and to be left to . the discretion of the Executive tr carry out such : ti,asuresi of retaliation as circumstances may justify. Mr. Henry did n.t think the resolution strong enough. The time had arrived when we should de clare a war of extermination upon every foe that puts , his fxt upon our soil, no matter what may be the bloodshed it Riay cause. - We should meet a fte of the chantcter that menaces us, under , the black Hag, and neither ask nor receive quarter from. this day henceforward. In Europe arndes have been known to pause when they knew no quarter vould-be given; ' oflicers have deserted their commands when conscious of t he fate that would Wet them it they Jell into the hands ofthe enemy whose territory tl ey were inva ding.The way was to declare a warof extejmina- , tion, and his life for it, we wouid i not ho troubled with invasion hereafter. Mr. Phelan said the introduction ofthe resolution indicated the dawn ojf a better policy with reference some luture delence ot our country.' I am now and ever have been in favor of figbtiuthi contest under theWack flair. If it had been1 erected over ibn nUins of Manassas one year ago, in my. opinion this warj vVuiu, tre mis, nave Deen enued. 1 move it be made the special order of the day for 12 o'clock to monw. A rtensnme further discussion, the resolution, on mcrtion of Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, was referred to the Judiciary Committee, .The Yankee papers have published the report that Geueral Howell Cobb was wounded and taken pris oner ;n oiie of the Maryland battles. He was neither ; but is . unhurt and well, and ready for the enemy v again.. ; - " " ' Iincoln' Proclamation. la our paper to-day will be found two proclama tions from President Lincoln. The one - proclaims the Blaves of the South free ; tbe other yirtaally de clares the white men of the North slaves and bonds men. The reader will notetheir cause and tendency, and judge for himself of their adaptation to a state of Republican liberty,' but at the, same time we cannot .let them pass without a word of comment. They fol low each other in rapid succession the sooe' freeing the slaves having been issued ou the 22nd, the other enslaving the white men, on the 24th ult. We will consider thorn in their order. The proclamation of the '22nd declares that on the 1st day of January, 1863, "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated pah of a Stae, the people whereof shall be In rebellion 9 gainst the Uni ted States, shall be thenceforward and forever, free.'' This is nothing new to the .people of the South. From the first they expected and fiad -reason to ex pect such a proclamation. Twenty years ago, and we might, in tbe language of Gov; Vance's inaugural, say forty years ago, the statesman of the South fore saw and foretold that they would have to defend with their lives the properly which the avarice of the North had insensibly and imperceptibly forced ' upon them, and also foif the rights .which their an cestors had bequeathed to them as their richest in heritance.." "We will not say here bow the warning voice of these statesman was scoffed at, and hosr their paternal advice was derided. The rights of persons and the rights of property were equally regarded trivial affairs, and were entirely lost sight of in the jdazzling blaze of glory in which trading politicians, designing demagogues and misguided legislators were wont to paint the stars of the old Union. But every rational mind foresaw, years and years ago, that to give up the institution of slavery or secede from the old Union would sooner or later become a dire ne cessity which would multiply its demands and in crease its obligations the longer it was delayed they cleaily foresaw and wisely foretold, that a war for emancipation would sooner or later be waged upon them, and that when it should come upon their countrymen with all its horrors, it would be only a logical consequence of tbe incessant remorseless raids made upon Southern institutions by the fanatics of the North in and out of Congress. The murders per petrated on Southern men in Kansas, and the raid of John Brown in Virginia, ought to have been sufficient $6 teach the people of the South what the lemon spirits of the North wer6 meditating against them ; "but it was hut. The bodies of their murdered fellow citizens in Kansas and Virginia were laid in the dust and forgotten. Abraham Lincoln came into power. His political history wis a matter of record. He possessed all the fanatical spirit but none of the demon courage of John Brown. He brought to the Presidency a heart reeking with malice"" and lips blistered with lies against one third of thu people whibse constitutional; rights he then swore to. uphold. 411$ Chicago plat" form hlainly told the people of the'Scuth what they had to expect from his Adminis'tration. They refused to believe it. He delivered his Inaugural, and him self and others, many of them more wicked and hyp ocritical than himself, said it meant peace and good will towards the South, and thousands and tens of thousands of good but silly men believed the declara tion. "But the lving fiend meant war. Wardidcome aud its inst!itutiotion the part of Northern fanatics has been forced upon us. It has- raged throughout the laud for eighteen months. Its mournful consequen ces have been felt at every hearth in every city and hamlet of the land. ' Of the cruelty, barbarity and hyppcricy wbichhave characterized our base,-i:iuel invaders, thus far, it is useless to speak. Of these qualities, almost every family in the' land has a'mournful record in the death or mutilation, imprisonment or outrage of some be loved relative. .Property of every description has been burned and destroyed, stolen and, consumed or carried awhy. Women have been outraged and jinsul ted or , carried into prison and exile. Childrenhave been made orphans and both orphans . and widows have been turned out of doors to witness the hostile flames which swept from the face of the earth the last ves tige of their only habitation.- To add to all these hor rors slaves have boe.n stolen and liarbored by tens of thousands and secrecy employed as spies upon their masters, and guides to conduct to his habitation or place of concealment. Secretly, too, ha they bee n armed and sent-out t incite their fellow$ to flight and ! insurrection. - v . . '. - V Yet all this Hcmed insufficient to, effect the helljsh purpose of our "invaders, or to stamp his true chafac" ter on the chief of the incarnate fiends "who have caused and are canying on this unnatural war. What these things could not do, Lincoln's prclamation de claring the slaves; free has successfully effectpd. fit jhas not freed a clave, nor weakened the cause of the outh, in the remotest degree, but itfias declared pub- pay me savage intentions wmcn naci mtncrto.stampMi cd . tr.emseivcs seaetiv on tee conduct 01 the war. ' The foulest fiend or most brutal savage could not far ther go. Its contemplated consequences present Hu man uature in its vilest, most depraved character, and so far as it regards the South, it is the last and wildest extreme of wickedness which a baffled and en raged tyrant can adopt. . 'f It proposes to add to tbe horrors of a civil .war the appalling cruelties of a servile insurrection it Avhets the kni fe and places it'in the hand of the slave whom it urges to murder the innocent maiden and imploring Childhood, promising him' immunity from punishment and a reward for his crimes. With a population Of twenty millions, the vile miscreants have seen that they not only cannot subjugate eight million of South ern rreemen ; but thaCthey themselves have been dis gracefully whipped and. punished on ah Tost every field, and they now seek to call to their aid four mil lion of our,own population, who, though slaves, are; next to our own children and nearest relatives, dear to our affections. ' . v In this lediUjS done his worst. So far as he can effect it, he hasMoonied he white race of. the South to ex termination or slavery, promising the black race their freedom and his assistance to reduce the1 whites to subjection. This is but the old song of the abolition fanatics of the North which "Lincoln" has set to new music. It is iiot the first time that servile insurrec tion has beeu denounced against the South, and hurl ed nicxacingly in the ears cf SiUtLcm rcr rpttntaL lives in Congress. It was those denunciations and those threats, coupled witirTvansas aid-societies and ; John Crown raids which caused the disruption ofthe i Uniou and has deluged t&e co untry in fraternal olodd.' As never heretofore it has had, eo dow it can have no terror for men determined on death or indepen dence. It will only cause every freeman of the South to renevr hw vows ou the altar of his country,. hat between liberty and tleath he will 'accept no al ternative. It has only widened he breach, already impassable, between the North and the South, and shown that the separation which has been effected is final and eternal. - . . , - We ask -no favors and no terms of the base foe who thus meditates our temporal destruction. Negroes in arrre, their cQmruaudcrs and associates can cipect uo quarter. Such men will not be made prisoners by Southern soldiers "or allowed to live by Southern citi zens. "Under whatever flag they fight, if found in irms against the Confederacy they will inevitably saf fer death . . L 'V But why contemplate the horrors of a servile in surrection. God who has hitherto been on our side .will overrule the machinations of our wicked enemies to their wn destruction. The slaves will be more ea sily enticed to run away than they will be to take np arm? against their masters. But come what may, determined to achieve our independence, true to our selves and posterity, and loyal to the. cause we have espoused, with God on our side we cannot be coriquer-edi- Asking from the first "to be let alone," seeking only to exercise the inherent inalienable rights of free men, tbe right to make our own laws and choose our own rulers, we are in no way responsible for the war nor; for any phase which, in its progress, it may assume. If the black flag have ultimately to be raised, as the only practicable mode of retaliation, or the only uc cessful mode of defending our lives, and fortunes, and sacred honor, the people of the South will not be re sponsible. The Contest will be severe, J.be sufferings terrible, but, in the name of God, let us prepare to meet them like men. The Fever in Wilmington;" The Wilmington Journal of Monday last did not reach us till Thursday morning. Why this extraordi nary delay is more than we can account for. It was in deed a welcome messenger, even at that late hour as it still indicated that our friends Fulton and Price were still living and we trust, in good health, a3 it contained nothing to the contrary. We copy the fol lowing statement: ' Thet Fevek. The following i3 the number of new cases of the prevailing fever occurring since our last issue, and reported to the Mayor up to 10 o'clock to-day : Saturday, Sept. 27th ....29 cases. Sunday, " 28th... .......L..::..45 At eleven o'clock on yesterday, 13 deaths were as certained to have taken place on the night preceding and up to that hour. It is also asserted, on good au thority, that the number of interments yesterday was. 1 8 to 20. Among the deaths which have occurred, the Jour nal mentions specially that of Wm.. C. Bettencourt, one of the oldest and most estimable citizens of Wil mington, who died in Clinton, Sampson county,; Dr. James II. Dickson, a distinguished physician, who died in the city on Sunday morning; and Stephen Jewett, cashier of the Bank of Wilmington, who died )t the sound. . . The Journal gives a brief history of the origin and progress of the disease, tracing the former to the Steamer Kate, which atrived at Wilmington in July last, two of her crew, as was alleged, having died of the fever soon after her arrival: The Journal repu diates the idea that it wis intrjluceJ designedly ; and incidentally expresses the opinion that nine-tenths of the vessels running the blockade do us mora harm than good, in which opinion we heartily concur. , The Journil also regret that but few nurses can be obtained, and states that when they", can be had, "the comforts of life ci:i only bs got in rare cases, uhile delicacies for the side cannot , in many instances, be obtained at all.'" ItV view of this stats of thingi, wa nsed scarcely appeal to the citizens of the State to take the situa tiog ofthe afflicted citizens of Wilm'ngton into cm-, Jil;'k'rkr uy frfg-lcTiorr lngs" so Ur 'for heeom forts needed by the healthy and the delicacies craved by the sick.- We could not magnify their sufferings if we would, and we can but express the hope that the sympathy and charity of our peop!eall over the. State will be equal to the claims which the distressed and afflicted citizens of Wilrnigion have upon them. , Wo arj gla l to see that his Houor Judge Howard brought this matter feelingly before the Grand Jury at Goldsboro' last Monday morning, and sugted that a meeting of the citizens should be. held that day to devise m-ans for th relief o( th3 sufferers. We have not heard of ihn resist 'of the meeting, but have reason to b?lieve its acti m was creditably in ac cordance1 with the necessities of the case aid with the native sympathy of the human heart. To prevent suffering worse than death, or which, at least, adds a pang to its worst agonies, supplies in kind for the poor, and the .sick, and, indeed, we might ad 1,-for the rioh als , should bo sent immedi ately from all putsof tb.3 State. All the stores in the petty arc I closed, and, of course, nothing is carried to market, and hence the necessity for immediate action. "Vill the citizens of Raleigh be the last to move in l3 matter? The Tax Bill. The Finance Committee of the House have laid be fore Congress a tax bill which they rccommed t be adopted as the mode by which money may be raised for the prosecution of the war. The bill coutains ten sections, but as it is yet doubtful whether it will be come a law, we publish only the first section in order to lav before our readers the basis urxra which the tax is nmnosed to bn raised. The othr SPrt5nna mUt principally la the mode of appointing collectors and the regulations by which they are to be governed. The following is the section referred to : Sec. 1. Tie Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That on the first day of January, 1863, there shall be levied and assessed on each perr son, resident in "the Confederate States, for the supl port of the Government and the defence of the couu try, the following tax to wit : one fifth of the value of all the wheat, ecrn, rice, rye, oats, potatoes, hemp, flax, peas, beans, barley, hay, wool, rosin, tar, pitch, turpentine, cottou, sugar, molasses and tobacco, pr duced by him in those States, during the previous cal endar year; also, one-fifth ofthe value of the increase for the preceding calendar year, of the horses, asses, cattle, sheep and swine; and one-fifth of the profits made in thev preceding calendar year, by the feeding of svvine shepp;Cattle,or mules ; also, one-fifth of J each persons j'early income, iigf the preceding calendar year, from all sources whatever, except from the sources hereinbefore described, aud except from the it tcrest on Confederate Bunds, Certificates, or Trea sury Notes y Provided, That said tax so levied and assessed-haH be due and payable on the first day of April, 1863 -t: Provided, further, That foreigners resi dent in the Confederate States shall not be required to pay, except from the aforesaid articles produced by, or for f hem, or from incomes or profils derived (rom business conducted by them wjthin those States; nof shall any tax be levied upon the products-of resi-: dents, where the total value of sucl products, during said year, is less than five hundred dollars; nor shall any tax be levied upon the income of residents, where the total value of such income is less than five-hundred dollars. - ; ' - - 1 1 ' The title of the bill should W surchar ged as to spe cify the character of the measure. The scheme pro poses to issue to each tax-payer certificates or bonds, bearing interest, f. r the amount of taxes paid in. It is not, therefore , a tax measure-simply btit a species of forced loan, and is intended to. briag Into the treas ury money sufficient to meet the yearly expenses of the war say from one to two hundred millions.

Mrs. Laura San dra, of Chapel HilT, as we are informed; has three sons, all of whom are clad in the armor of their coun try and fighting under its banner. Sotae time last Summer, a demand was made upon the ladies ofthe Confederacy for bandages, lint and other things adap ted to the wants of the wounded and , sick soldiers. Among the thousands tfho engaged in this labor of love were Mrs. Saunders and her daughter. Amon other supplies furnished by Mrs. S. and daughter was a lot of bandages carefully made according to prescribed rules, on each of which were worked or written the initials. of the fai r manufacturers. In one of the late battles at Manassiis, one of Mrs.- S Js patriotic sons got wounded ; which procured him a furlough and the privilege of visiting the sweet home, in defence of which he had been disabled. Stopping at the N. C. Hospital, in Petersburg, he had his wounds dressed. He arrived at home. His wounds again needed dressing. His fond mother tenderly and tearfully undertakes the task. As she unwraps the bandage, lo I there are her own initials it is one of those which she had made and supplied for the common demand. She calls to mind the wounded sons and riven hearts of other mothers, and thinks how many of the former may have been bound up in those bandages which she "and her daughter supplied. The tear which dims her eye is but a drop from the fountain of gratitude which wells up in her heart, for the restoration of ber ssn to her fond era brace. She washes the ghastly wound, restores the bandage and turns aside to bless God who taught her to obey the exhortation and has now fulfilled the promise annexed to that obedience . Therefore reader, go thou and do likewise. When the weary soldier is wounded, or naked, or hungry, or thmty, or sick, or in prison, "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for (like Mrs. S. and daughter) thou shalt find it after many days." ..... v , i'..',. V : Interesting from Europe. The Richmond exchanges, through Northern pa pers, have later advices from Europe. The news of he result of Pope's campaign had reached Europe through northern channels, and elicited opinions somewhat conflicting in the British press. The Lon don Times, always severe on its Yankee cousins, says it is only a confusion of terms to speak of the Union army as one of conquest, and adds : "The whole principle of the war is changed. The first check before Richmond was the prelude of a re treat that has continued till the recoil of the wave has brought the eddies ot battle to the very spot on which the first shock of the contending armies occurred. the couth has not only repelled the invasion, out is now the assailant. The fighting on the part of the Union commanders is purely defensive. "They arc forced, back to the line from which they began the campaign the great army of the Potomac occupies its first campaigning ground. It . may be able to Bold the position. The struggle to do so will be desperate,-and the last accounts left an attack by the Confederates repelled, but the final and decisive blow has not been struck. The safety of Washing ton and the existence of the Uniou government still depend on the result of a battle. "This negative tesult of the whole campaign de cides all controversy as to the possible success of the invasiou. That chapter in the, history of the war is closed. The sword of the North has been tested in a war of conquest, and has broken in its hand." mi, tvt i.v-trxjiixTtuxnu 11 01 iiincoin. . Commenting on this proclamation, the New Y;ik Herald says : ' The President has issued a proclamation to the people ofthe rebel States It will be found in another col umn of this morning's paper. It is one of the most important documents that has emanated from the Ex ecutive Department of the republic since the adop tion of the Federal Constitution. On the 25th of July last, the President,- in accor dance with the act of Congress, approved ou the 17th of that month, gave sixty day's notice to those in re i bellion that the property of all. rebels would be con fiscated and their slaves made free if they persisted in their suicidal .course. The notice expires to-day, the 23rd instant, and the proclamation now issued pre sents the case in its new and significant aspect. The grav ity of this proclamation will strike every one. It has been forced upon the nation by the abo titionists of the North and the secessionists of the South. It inaugurates an overwhelming revolution in the system of labor in a vast and important agri cultural section of the country, which will, if the reb els perslslin their course, suddenly emancipate, three or four millions of human beings, and throw them, in the fulness of their helplessuess and ignorance, upon their own resources and the wisdom of the white race to properly regulate and care for them in their new condition of life. But the importance of-this sreat social revolution "will not be confined to the ection where the black race now forms the chief la-- 'U..!nr Jnmonf Tfr twill tlUVP'Otl infliiftiipn uri-thfi la- bor ofthe North and West.?

' ' The National intelligencer thinks the proclamation will likely prove equally void of practical effect; with that of Gen. Hunter; and is not "without the ,siispi cion that the President has taken this method to con vince the only class of persons likely to be pleased with this proclamation of the utter fallacy of the hopes they have founded upon it. With our well-known and oft repeated views "respecting the utility of such proclamations, it can hardly be necessa ry for us to say that where we expect no good, we shall onlv be too happv to find that no harm has been done by the present declaration of the Executive.", . . ... i-i . . i . The Washington Mepuoncan is juouaut over mo proclamation, believes it will be received by the loyal States with a perfect furor, of acclamation, and says while it will lose to the President a few latter day friends, "it will restore to the President all his old friends,' and unite the sound portion of the people in one solid and impregnable mass in support of the Union and the Constitution." " Forney's Philadelphia Press says : 'The rebellion is at an end. The President has done a good deed at a god tim3. He has pro nounced the doom of slavery on the Amcricn Con tinent." - ! ' The New York World says 4 "President Lincoln is a very Blon lin iu the; art of political balancing. Having satisfied the coairv.i tives with McQellan, he now gives the radicals the proclamation." The World continues: "It is unbe coming the dignity of a great government to make such menace "as to whnt it will hereafter do in terri tory'of which a powerful armed foe disputes the ju risdiction." . The New York Journal of Ooninerce says: ' Mr. Lincoln has yielded to the radical pressure.

The Rebel says 450 Confederate soldiers, sick and wounded, who had been left behind, were captured and paroled by the Yankees and were ar riving all day, the previous- Saturday, in Chatta nooga. Glasgow is the capital of Barren county, on the Railroad from Louisville to Nashville, 126 miles S. W. of Frankfort. Population about 800. ' IMPORTANT CAPTURE BY PABTIZAN RANGERS. The Richmond papers learn through a private letter to one of the Senators from Ky., received' (here on Wednesday, that on the 14th ult., Col. Woodward, with his rangers, seized four of the enemy's steamers on the Cumberland, at a point opposite to Canton. The valuable cargoes were saved and the steamers destroyed. ' The Cumberland River was in our possession from the Kentucky line to Russellville, in Logan county. Buell, on the 22J, was at Bowling Green, on the Green river. Bragg and Kirby Smith were before Louisville, with the expectation of taking it very soon. . The arrival of Buell at Louisville is announced in the Northern papers which declare that he has ar rived in time to save that city and Cincinnati. FROM TENNES8EE. v The Rebel says the soldiers and citizens of Nash- villc are in a' starving condition. Nothing can be shipped from the North, the river being low and the railroads all torn up. The place is completely invested by Gens. Forrest and Anderson and Col. Woodward, and everything is waiting on Gen. Price's movements. The Yankees are still fortifying there. MORGAN IN HIS STIRRUPS MAKES ANOTHER HAUL. Passengers by the Western train says a late Bris tol Advocate, report that Cwl. John n-Mojgan-jvaw Cumberland Gap, set a trap for them near Somerset, Ky , and caught the whole force. We trust the re port may be true. - V. VICTORY NEAR HELENA, AKK. The Vicksburg Whig of Friday, says our . forces in the rear of Helena bagged an entire regiment of Curtis' army hist week. Curtis has been court-mai-tialed and sent North. ' There are 28,000 troops re ported at Helena. 'vt ' The Jackson Mississippian of the 2 2d ult. has a letter from X friend at Friar's' Point, dated the I6th September, giving interesting additional particulars concerning our victory near Helena. The following extracts are interesting: We have just received reliable information from Helena; that fighting had commenced 25 miles back from that place. On Wednesday, 3,700 Federals were sent out to drive back our advance. Our men formed on both sides of the road in thejbrm of a V. We sent out a body of skirmishers to draw them into the ambush, in which they succeeded, the wings of the V then closing, and capturing one Ohio regi ment complete,; and all but 40 of "another regiment. On Thursday, they again attacked our forces, and were whipped back. On Friday, they again attacked and claim to have whipped our troops. Suffolk and Petersburg are becoming points- of vital interest. The enemy is said to be massing a large force at' Suffolk--already estimated at 25,000, mostly raw levies. I. Latest from Wilmington. The Journals of Tuesday and Wednesday reached us Thursday even ing. The number of new enscs on Monday was forty-three. Charleston isdoing its full duty towards its afflicted sister city sending all the nurses and physi cians at its command. The "Sisters of Mercy" are again at the post of danger and duty. The Journal of Wednesday says : . . j The .Fever does not abate its progress, but its vis itations are much less fatal in proportion to the num bers taken. Yesterday there were 41 new cases with only 8 interments la-Oakdale Cemetary. Of. course the interments were from former cases. If taken at once the fever seems to yield readily. If not or if neglected too longthr chances are very small. ' l - Confederate Congress. Sept. 29. Resolution offered in the Senate by M r.

During his sickness he was never heard to muinunr or complain, but seemed to await hU fata with' unexampled calmness and serenity. Few persons, to the writer of this brief notice, possessed in a higher degree the social and domestic virtues. Kind hearted and hospitable, he al wart enjoyed himself around the fireside with his friends and neighbor?. M any will bear witness in the geniality of. his friendship) and his disposition to oblige th ii)-whom he could serve. Quiet and unobtrusive in bis manners, he delighted more in the social circle than in the busy, bust- t. ling scenes of men. - He is tbe last of bis family save one, an only shnj now in the army, who survives toniourn over this fcerere dispensation, which will not cease amidst the roar of cannon and the clash of arias. , J. .
