fondneis for social pleasures r.eTer led him into
dangerous excettea.
He returned from school only a little hile'before
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and the feTtr of
volunteering at once seized him. His uncle adrised
him, that he was not able to stand the rough and
self-denying life of the soldier; but he woul2 not
hear to remaining out of the service. Dr. YVeath
erly did not know he had a pulmonic affection,
still he feared his constitution was not sufficiently
robust for his herculean undertaking..
He received the appointment of fifth sergeant in
mycompaay; and the elegant and handsom flag,
with which the young ladies of Greensborougn hon
ored my company, passed from my hands into his

ergf. Oossctt complainei ofMiis feet before he
loff our camp at home ; but I did not suppose any
thing ruled him except tendor feet, or corns upon
hio lor After the battle of the lbth and 21st o.'
July, he came to me and told me his feet were so
swollen, that he would be obliged tobe relieTedfrom
duty fr a few days The Surgeon at once excused
him. Heforc that time, he had enjoyed the scenes
through which we had pad with a full and over
tl..,tit,g heart. Bat as Ik Marvel has said : "Misery
tria l- the he. 1 of joys: anguish rides swift
after plcv-ure.' When the few" d.iys expired, he was
till not ahlo for duty. He came to me and unbo
somed his -utferings and hi anguish of spirit He
r.4id he had a continual hacking cough, occaaionally
apit Idood, and that he suffered acute pain in his
lungs. He lenred, that if he remained there, he
would not survive an attack ol measles, or typhoid.
I (old him, if the Burgeon would recommend his
liochare, I would prepare his application, and
asked him to see the Surgeon. He went to him and
wan examined: but the Surgeon would not consent
to recommend a discharge. He went a second time,
at my instance, to the Surgeon, but returned with a
like answer, accompanied with an expressed hope
that he would ere Ion?; be better. He was exceed
ingly unwell and unhappy, for like the gentle and
lwely chi. l angel, Eva, the sands of his life were
silently yet rapidly running out ; still there was no
chance to procure even a furlough for him. Anon
he took a chill, which was followed by a high ferer;
an ! en- th eilei;ts of that had" passed, the measles
hrokcout on him. Ituring the time he was sick, he
wrote a very ailectionate letter to his uncle Clarke
und aunt Hettie, in which -he disclosed his appre
hensions, that hii constitution was too much wasted
and impaired by that deceitful disease, the con
sumption, fos him to survive a severe spell of sick
ness. Scarcely had his last letter reached its desti
nation, before the pale, dismal shadow of death was
ci eepmg iij.hco upon hi manly countenance On
tho ''7th iiay of August, about the hour of 'J o'clock
in the forenoon, Sergt. Gossett expired. He was a
rae aud good soldier, aud much beloved by all
who knew the depth of hi warm and generous
heni t. And now that, thou art gcffie,
" Mn y, n.y friend, have mourned for thee,
And yet shall many mou.n,
Long as thy name on earth "hall be
In ect remembrance borne ;
For while thin absence they deplore,
' Ti for thei iselves they weep,
That they shall behold thy face no more!"
Hi remains' were started home on the morning
f the if'.ffh of August, by express, directed to Dr.
Joseph A. Weatherly. I had sought a leave of ab-

Such are tho taxes levied. To ascertain
I the necessary f.icts the following provis
1 ions are made :
Sections 2, 3, 4, 6, provide for the registry
of all persons engaged in tbe business taxed
in section 5 nr : Apothecaries, auctioneers

- warnou in ins
emption, as 'employed in a baai.. -i
dy taxed." A merchant'. mU. nd ae
counts, are they exempt ? If to be used'
when collected in carrying on mercantile
business, we think thorn exempt.
By tbe value credit we understand
principal and interest of solverI credits,
and the estimated value of them which the
holder believes will not be paid in full.
Does the tax, in section 6, upon trades
gross sales, etc., exempt the paper from the
income tax in- section 8 T Clearly not
both taxes are paid. It is supposed the
taxes on sales will bo provided for by ad
ding to the price.
In section 5, No. 8 Suppose a distiller
of fruits to distill largely for others' use,
how will he have to pay under the law f
We think he will have to pay according to
ibe w'uo'e number ot gallons distilled, and
sbou'd provide "for tbe tax in making terms
with his customers.
In section 5, No. 13 Do commission
merchants pay 2 percent, upon sales of
cotton, &c, foriilanters 1 No. The tax is
on sales otj produce consigned by "others
than the producers" produce refers to
agricultural production, says the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Are all the trades, profession, and occu.
pations, mentioned in section 5, to be reg
istered ? Ves, all. Such register names
a business, if no more.
Should a planter, in estimating his in
come, include the vahe of the rent of hit,
bouse and of the hire of house negroes ?
If the house bo in town, he should im
elude rent, but not otherwise. In regard
to hire of negroes, be should include, in
estimating income, the value of the hire of
those not engaged in working the crop, or
ia other taxed business. If negroes be en
gaged partly in household, and partly
in planting duties, it would seem proper to
include the value of the partial hire for
household work. With most planters the
matter is indifferent, as thoir income not
derived from the crop, even including such
hire, would be under $500. and 8o not
taxed. If a planter has horses, &c, used
partly ia the crop and par.ly as carriage
horses or forpeiasure, it would seem prop
er and safe to include in the return of tax,
(section 12) a just proportion of their valoo.
So much upon what tho tax law is. Up
on its policy, we may perhaps comment in
another number. SENTINEL.

order of the War Department, and shall
pay the District Collector for the same at
the value thereof as settled by the previous

Tfit HERO'S LIST DiEil.
The pale moon looked down, where the hero lav
dying, '
Through the thin, shadowy clouds that were linger
ing by ;
She alone save the wind o'er the dreary plain algh
in. Could hear tha last prayer, or oonld see the brave
die.
The conflict was past, and the riefry was ended.
And hia fond dreams of glory had vanished away,
His brow was all pale at.d with gore his locks
blended,
On the battle-cfteld drear where his wounded form
lay!
The thought of his tifcme of the scenes of his child
hood. Far down in the vale where the bright waters flow
Of the blissful hours spent in the deep-tangled wild
wood, Ere his young heart was fired with ambition's glow.
The thought of a voice of a soft, flowing cadenoe.
And 'Mother,' the name from his quiverinc lips fell,
As in fancy he gated on her tear-drops at parting,
Or felt her lat kiss as she breathed a farewell.
The thought ot a bower, with the green woodbine
clinging,
A type of the leve which his young heart had won,
Of the dark woodland path with its cheerful trains
ringing,
And a soft voice combin'd with the lute's melting
tone.
But vain the delusion those fairy-like fingers
Will playfully twine his dark ringlets no more, .
Nor that voice shall he hear, though its music still
lingers,
And greets his lone ear on a far distant shore.
The victory was won, but his life blood was ebbing,
A crimson stream flow'd o'er the once flow'ry plain;
But his spirit once more the bright haunts seem'd
treading
The homestead his dim eyes could see ne'er again.
The conflict was over but life's taper was waning,
And Death's turbid waters beat loud on his ear,
In the first flush of manhood life's young fount was
draining.
Alone, all alone, with no kindred form near.
Night's shadows were gone, and the clear rosy
morning
Stooped over the battle-field, crimson with gore.
Where many a heart warni'd with glory's bright
dawning.
Was cold in the bosom to throb never more.
The young hero lay but the warm sun was gleam-
Upon the rude spot where his pallid cheek laid,"
But no more was that heart of Fame's proud laurels
dreaming,
For his dark eye was glazed, and the hero was dead!

RXIDSVILLK, N. C.
Geoqraphical. Harrisbarg, the capital
of Pennsylvania, is situated almost due
north of Washington, about one hundred
miles distant on an airline. The Potomac
rivor, from Williamsport to Washington,
courses in a southeasterly direction, and
the Sustjaehanna, from Harrisbarg to its
mouth, runs nearly parallel with tho course
of the Potomac, so that tbe distance from
Washington to Havre de Grace, where the
Susquehanna empties into the Chesapeake,
is about the same as that from Williams
port to llarriaburg. On tho latter lino Gen.
Jenkins' cavalry have been operating. By
forming a diamond, in accordance with the
abovo outlines, a general idea of the geog
raphy of tho present seat of war" may
bo obtained, without the use of a map.
The top of the diamond indicates the po
sition of Harrisburg, tho east point Havre
do Grace, the bottom Washington, the west
point Williamsport.
Tho lino from Harrisburg to Havre
do Graco represents the Susquehanna,
from Havre de Graco to Washington, tho
railroad lino from Washington through
Baltimore tho latter about midway. The
lino from Williamsport to Washington
represents tho Potomao, and tho remaining
lines, the route pursued by Gen. Jenkins,
with this difference, that a curved line,
projecting outwards, would give a more
accurate indication of the routo.
Tho Cumberland Valley railroad which
forms the direct railway connection be
tween Chamborsburg and Harrisburg is
lifty-two mile3 in length. The distances
from Chambersburg are as follows: To
Scotland 5 miles, to Shippensburg 1 1 miles,
Oakvillo 18, Newvillo 22, Alterton 27, Car
lisle 34, Kingston 41, Mochanicsburg 44,
Bridgeport 51, Harrisburg 52.
Gettysburg is a'oout twenty ifive mIes
oaBt of Chambersburg, in Adams county.
There is railroad connection between Ha
gerstown, Md , to Chamber? burg. Hagers
town is about eight miles northeast of
Williamsport.
Connellsvillo and Uniontown are in the
southwestern part of Pennsylvania, in the
direction of Pittsburg. General Imboden
is, or has been, operating over there. Ln
iontown is more than a hundred miles from
Williamsport, in a direct line.
