Rawley was one of naeure's aoblemea in strength
and phyiioal derelopment. His lifer from the time
he was large enough to work, was passed upon the
farm in Koc king ham county where he wae. born.
Shortly before he TolunUered in July, 1861, he 'ee

when he became a soldier, and his masculine frame
had been inured to hardships b th "b s"1 rmr
He was a beau idtal of a soldier, tie wae reaay;
he was full of titacity ; no duty, which wae imposed
upon him, could tire or break him down ; he was

he wje seldom the least unwell. Once, he wae quite
ick for a few days. Soldiering only Increased me
utalwartneae and toughened him for the coldness and
sprerity of winter and the scorching heat of the warm
seasons. Cut notwithstanding his great strength
and good health hitherto, pneumonia prostrated him
at SiannardsTille in Virginia in the last days of April
and on the 13th of May, 180, he wae stiff in the
ehil arma of death.
He was llcs-ed with a lofty spirit and looked for
ward hopefully to the days of peace and indepen
dence, if he should not be stricken down by the bails
of the tnemy. . He had heter been in a regular
pitched battle, but his phlegmatic nature would net
er hare shrunk from the hottest fight which the
Yankees could have given us. They might hare
wounded er killed him, but they never could have
scared him. But the enemy, which he least appre
hended, at length struck him low in the grate. His
remains were deposited at the Tillage Church-yard
where he died. Thelos3 of such a soldier, cheer
ful, strong and brave, even though only one of
thousands left, is incalculable to our army, consid
ering its smallness and the diminished source whence
it in to be kept up to its present numbers. Nor
should a day pass over our heads, without our
supplicating the God of battles to shield and spare our
sick and well soldiers, that we may work out our
freedom and independence I

Mr. President Davis, if he be not differ
ently constituted" from his fellow creatures,
will have learned wisdom from experience.
Had he been conscious that his fellow-
countrvmen. ajrereitately, could form opin
ions upon facta patent to them as correctly
as himself bad he listened to the implo
ring appeals of citixensof Lousiana of Mis
sissippi and of Missouri, New Orleans
might have been held by our arms ; the
State of Mississippi would have been se
cure to day; and Gen. Price would have
held the Federal armies where he did hold
them for a year, and the Gulf States would
have been spared the scenes which Mis
souri witnessed from the beginning. Bat
the systematic persecution, the official ex
tinction of Gen. Price and the cold neglect
of his struggling and gallant State, have
borne their fruits; and the Gulf States have
now to learn sympathy by a common suf
fering. West Point engineers can make
fortification traps to surrender Confederate
soldiers in by tne twenty-seven thousand,
with their arms and guns and precious
stores, snd torn battle flags. West Point
commissaries know howtomako veteran
patriot soldiers eke out existonce for forty
seven days on ten days' rations. I do not
mean to disparage West Point military
training ; but I have never learned that
West Point could impart brains where
there is a lack of that uaefal commodity,
and the world has had abundant demon
stration that a West Point creation ofi(Iong
ears" has the longest ears of any animal
known to natural history.
There is One view of these events from
which we may derive resignation and hope,
if not comfort. There was providences
which mado Mr. Davis President; which
placed Lovell, Pemberton and Holmes in
command ; which wrested New Orleans,
Vicksburg and other points oat of our
hands; which brought this scourge for pur
poses of the highest good to our people and

agencies, if we are only true to ourselves,
and to the rigbt principles of our great
controversy, that scourge will be removed,
and our national redemption be accom
plished. If Mr. Davis stands in tho way, j
Providence will remove him ; it property
stands in the way, Providence will destroy
it; if armies are wanting, domestic er for-

Tf e same is true in Missouri. Her peo

tho time, by superior force. Immense for
ces must be retained in each State, to keep
open the navigation of the Ohio and Mis
souri, and to preserve communication with
Federal armies further .South.
These forces can be used for no other
purposes, and perhaps as many as a hun
dred thousand or more are thus substracted
from the invadincapacity of the North.
The Mississippi is dottod with Federal
forts, and alive with Federal gunboats from
St Louis, Cairo, Padueah and Columbus,
to New Orleans and the Gulf, yot its navi
gation, except. for gunboats, is not opan to
tho North, nor can it he opened till every
Confederate State on its shores is thorough

banks, extending over two thsusand 'five

PiiYsioLouY of Swimming. The Medical
authorities of tho French army especially
recommend that men inclined to disease of
the chest should bo continually mado to
swim. The following aro the effects (which
M. le Doeteur Dulon attributes to swim
ming) on the organs of respiration :
Aswimer, wishing to proceed from one
phico to another, is obligod to deploy his
arms anh loga to cut through the liquid,
and beat the walc with them to sustain
himsolf. It is to the chest, as being tho
central point of sustentation, that every
movement of tho limb responds. Thisir-
radiation of tho movements of tho chest,
far from being hertful to it," is beneficial ;
for, according to a sacred principle oi pnyi
siology, the more an organ is put into ac
tion the more vigor aud aptitude it win
gain to perform its functions. Applying
thin principle to natation, it will easily oe
conceived how tho membrane of tho chest
of a swimmer acquires development tho
pulmonary tissues, firmness to tone and en
ergy.
