We fiad the following ia the Grenada (Mississippi) correspondence of the Mobile Tribune: The counties of Mississippi in this part of the State, though supposed ta be thoroughly drained of their fightiug population by the draft for volunteers, are pouring ont thousands of conscripts. Tre ins going South to Brookhaven Jiave been filled to overflowing for five or six days past with them. These men are a fine looking, healthy set of fellows, hd.1 will make as good soldiers cn an average as any that hive yet taken the field. They appear as jovial and talk as patriotic as if their own free will, and not Congressional lenislation, had suggested the propriety of rushing to the defence of their country's Hag. An alacrity becoming the crisis, and not a sullen spirit of compliance with an obnox ious law, marks their whole demeanor. " Where are you going, conscript?" shouted a newsboy toon of them pass ing down on the railroad the other day. " Going to whip the Yankees," quickly answered the subject of tha urchin'B jeer ; " and we'll kill the last d d Arab of them, just like we would a snake." Pretty belligerent that for a coriscript a class whom the Yankees pretend to believe have to Le made drunk with mean whifcky before they can be induced to charge a bat.ery. Opinion. Tie Columbia (S. C.) Guardian sajs : We are in debted to a lady irier.d, a native of England, but long resident of this country, lor the annexed extract from a private letter received from an intelligent gentleman liv ing in London. The views expressed agree substantial ly with statements derived from other sources : " Public opinion here has undergone a remarkable change with regard to American affairs. At first it sided with the North, supposing that the latter repre sented Abolition principles, and it became quite enthu siastic when the free States flew to arms to protect the capital and the border States. But when it appeared that the North would gladly make any terms with the .South, and was quite ready to give up the slavery ques tion altogether, when the mad expenditure of the North became known, when they turned the aggressors, when they showed how barbarous was their mode of warfare, public opinion gradually veered round, and the seizure of Mason and Slidell confirmed the change. It certain ly nppears as if liberty is in great danger in the North. "lam very sorry you lcok so confidently to England breaking the blockade. Assuredly it will not be allowed to last indefinitely, but we shall not interfere yet. The public think that would be identifying our selves with slavery, and would oust any government that would attempt it at pretent. Besides, we think that the resources of the North ate beginning to fail, and that lor the sake of a durable peace, it is better that the game should be played out to the last without inter ruption. And we know that our interference is part of the programme which the South has laid down, and we have no desire to fall into the open trap. Almost all believe that the war has now become for a boundary ; no one here expects the North and South ever to unite again, by conquest or otherwise, nor is it thought desir able for any one's sake. I need not say that the milita ry operations of the South have been looked upon with admiration, and indeed have had much to do with res pect to the change of opinion to which I have advert eJ." The Exploit on St. Simons. (Jen Mercer has issued the following order in compli ment to Capt. Wm. M. ilazzard and his gallant little baud whose daring expedition to St. Simons Island we recorded some days ago : Confederate States of America, Headq'rs Military Dist. of Georg ia, I Savannah, August 13, 1862 CIKOI AL UEDKR KO. Jiii. The gallant feat performed by Captain Wm. M. Hazzard, tnd nine brave spirits under his command, deserves the Bpecial commendation of the Brigadier General conimand iug. With this handful of men Captain Hazzard penetrated an Island entirely occupied by the enemy, with the sur rounding waters in the possession of his gunboats, and suc ceeded in inlliciing heavy loss upon him against the most overwhelming odds, killing and wounding probably many times more than his own entire command, and finally bring ing oh all hia men without injury to a single one a feat, which for enterprise and daring, cool courage and skillful management, has not been excelled in the history of this or any other war. It appeals to the patriotic emulation and imitation of every true son of the South. The names of these brave men are Capt. Wm M. Hazzard, Alexander Burney, Wm. Campbell, W. DuBignon, A. E. Foreman, T. E. Hazzard, James Harris, P. Higginbotham, H. Statlord, and J. W. Taylor. Lieut. Col. Clinch will cause this order to be read to all the troops under his command.

He had been for many months in wretched health, but bad so far rallied as to ba ia the streets occasional ly during the last month or two, and hopes had been in auiged ot bis recovery. We suppose, therefore, that the Bummona came Buadenly.

A deadly strug gle exists between the Puulist (Pffulavista) and the German or Court party. The former is seeking to force the Czar and the. government to leave St. Petersburg. The leaders of the Paulist (Paulavista) party declare that Moscow was burnt in opposition to the French, St. Petersburgh shall be burnt in opposition to the German or Court party. The Eoglish papers give detailed accounts of a most terrible conflagration at St. Petersburg, which destroyed several public edifices, amongst others that of the Min isters of the Interior and of Public Instruction. Thousands of people wtre wandering houseless thrcuh the streets of the capital, and to add to the calamity, bands of thieves were taking advantage of the confusion to plunder the inhabitants. The disaster is said to have deeply affected the Emperor and caused him to shed tears. An article from a Spanish paper remarks : " Russia, a nation of humble serfs and of nobles devoted to the throne, presents at this time, to the astonishment of the world, the spectacle of internal struggle not a struggle of arm and of blood, but a struggle of conflagrations, and which threatens still more serious consequences. In fact throughout the whole empire are disseminated proclamations addressed to the peasantry and the eerfs, urging them to the destruction of the churches, the sup pression of the institution of matrimony, the establish ment of communioni&m, and the assination of all the functionaries of the Government and which proclama tions are beginning to take tSect, as the Petersburgh journals assure us that it was only by great efforts that the lives of several of the highest personages and officers of the Government have been protected from the popu lar fary. " At first it was believed that the fires at St. Peters burg were the work of criminals, but the occurrences of similar conflagrations a out the same time indiffe rent cities of the empire has revealed the existence of a revolutionary element ; a sad truth, says a Russian cor respondent, the thought of which caused the Emperor to shed tears, for who can say bow serious may be the consequences of this movement." .

In one of our ex changes we find a very interesting account of the milita ry situation in Arkansas : The conscription act was beiDg enforced with rigor, and Hindman's army continued to enlarge under its op eration. His headquarters were at Little Rock, where also was most of his force, with the exception of such as was used to protect the batteries at White River. Gen. Henry E. McCulloch, brother of Ben, was expect ed daily to arrive from Texas with his brigade, which, with the forces under Parsons, Pike, McBride and Rains, will swell our trans-Mississippi army to numbers exceeding the popular estimate. Provisions are said to be abundant, more so, by far, than they are on this side of the river, as free access is had to the granaries and cattle ranges of Texas, which are literally inex haustible. Arrangements are also on foot for the manu facture of salt, powder and arms, independently of the supplies sent by the government, all from the varied re sources of the State of Arkansas, which, assisted by Texas, could herself hold out fully ten years against the Yankee war of subjugation. Gen. ilolmes, who has been assigned to the chief command of this department, is said to have made his headquarters at Shreveport, Louisiana, where he will direct his attention more par- icularly to affairs in the South, while Hindman will probably proceed to break up Gamble's bogus govern ment in Missouri, and re-establish Claib. Jackson and the original Legislature in their positions. A Hymn Made In tbe Bastlle. BY MADAM GUYON. " A little bird I am, Shut from the fields of air ; And in my cage I sit and sing To Him who placed me there ; Well leased a prisoner to be. Because, my God, it pleasea Thee. Nought have I else to do, I sing the whole day long ; And He whom I most love to please Doth listen to my song ; lie caught and bound my wandering wing, But still He bends to hear me sing. Thou hast an ear to hear, A heart to love and bless : And though my notes were e'er so rude, Thcu would'st not hear the less; Because Thou hnowest, as they fall, That love, sweet love, inspires them all. My cage confines me round, 'Abroad I cannot fly ; But though my wings are closely bound, My heart's at liberty ; My prison walls cannot control t The flight, the freedom of my soul. Chfrit is good to soar, These bolts and bars above, To Him whose purpose I adore, Whose providence 1 love ; And in Thy mighty will to tind, The joy, the freedom othe mind."

Hudson, at Man zanilla on the 30th qf July, reports to the agents of the Golden Gate here, that, owing 'to tbe shelving beach and heavy surf where the wreck is lying, there is little pro balility of saving the treasure. He, with a part of the crew and officers, remained a3 agents of the under writers, protecting the wreck with the hopes of saving additional lives. The third officer, Mr. Scott, in charge of a boat containing from twenty to thirty persons, had not reached Manzanilla at last accounts.

Brockenbrougffagainst vr"liam A Hopkins, charged with violation of tbe Confedeiie otaies aiau, and convicted at August term 1862, cf tu Confederate Court, held at Wytbeville, Virginia : W m. A. Hopkins r Your fate is a sadne"l In the dawn of man00 you have been betrayed into the commission of crin?8 wnico-are about to comign you to a felon a doom. , You occupied a position in which you were exposed to constant temptation. The commission of the crimes was easy, and as it seemed to you, detection was impossible. b atal delusion I Let your terrible fate be a warning to all employees of tbe Post Office Department throughout the Confederate fatates , that the prying eyes of those sharp detectives," known as special agents, are upon them, and that through such terrible instrumentality swift vengeance may overtake them for violating the important trust reposed' in them. - One or even several of such acts will escape detection, but they will not es cape observation. Where money has been committed to the mails for transmission over a given route, and the letter containing it has mysteriously disappeared without reaching the hands of the party to whom it was addressed, tbe Department i3 soon notified of the fact! . cc . i. ... . I, . i by the suffering party, lt is now apprized that all its officials are not honest, and that somewhere along an extended route, embracing perhaps, many, many post offices, depredations have been committed, but the odium of dishonesty mu3t rest on all alike if some sure and speedy means of detection are not resorted to. The in strumentality for accomplishment of so important an object ;3 at once applie J. Decoy letters, so prepared as to be suggestive to a dishonest post master ot a rich prize, tempt a repetition of acts, heretofore committed without detection and without any apparent means of detection. The enterprise seems a safe one, and the fa tal deed is done ! The special agent is on the route. He has access to the mails by a private key. It is at once known that some post master or his deputy, at a particular effice, is the thief. His presenc3 is soon seen as well as felt, by the alarmed culprit before he has had time to conceal or destioy the evidences of his guilt, and the doom of the unhappy man, if the detective is adroit, is bo securely sealed that the ingenuity and eloquence of the most learned and able counsel are baffled in the vain effort to screen the offender from merited punishment. His counsel lament with towering pathos that their client has been made the victim ol official trickery, and that th-i Government itself has spread the fatal snare in the mesbes of which the unwary feet of the unfortunate prisoner have been entangled beyond tbe possibility of extrication. It is true that herein the Government does practice deception. Experience has demonstated that undetected crime would run riot through all the exten sive ramifications of tie Post Office Department, it this agenc were not employed, and the practice, like stra tegy in war, must seek its vindication in the necessity which gave it birth. It is the readiest and surest means of ferreting out crime and of separating the guilty from the innocent. It has no terrors for tbe honest postmas ter, and is indeed the most potent means of preserving his reputation tor private and official fidelity. It is an official trap which securely holds acd unmasks tbe vio lator of tbe laws, lt is not designed to expose the in nocent but the guilty to temptation, and I doubt wheth er an honest officer was ever tempted to the commission of crimes by such instrumentality. Officials in this de partment are exposed to constant temptation by the very nature of their calling, and it is because some of them have already yielded to it, that thi3 secret agency, whose basis is deception, is put into requisition, not to tempt the innocent to crime, but the guilty to its repe- tion. in nearly all the successful prosecutions for offi cial depredation upon the mails, which have occurred in this district during my long judicial career, the convic tion oi the culprit has been secured through this agency alow, and the beSt interests of the department and of society forbid that it be dispensed with. It is a' sharp sword to pierce the guilty, but a shield of triple steel to defend the innocent. If unworthy men are sometimes employed to execute thi3 potent, because secret system of espionage and detection, moro anxicus to secure vic tims, than to aid the just administration of the laws by the punishment of the guilty only, let the sbw finger of public scorn be pointed at them, and the unworthy creatures driven ia disgrace from an office whose true duties they have misapprehended and whose legitimate functions they have vilely perverted. Lii tne evns oi the system be corrected, but the system ltseit cannot oe dispensed with without destroying the efficiency of this most important department oi tne Government, inave been ltd into these remarks by the s evere, but, aa I think, unmerited strictures of one or your counsel upon this system in his eloquent and iuicsioned appeal to the jury who tried you. You have had the benefit, William A. Hopkins, of a fair and impartial triafby a jury of more than ordin ary intelligence, and every resource of argument and eloquence have been exhausted in you - behalf, in vain ! You have been convicted of crimes of a most" serious character against the peace and well-being of society. While ether young men were imperilling their lives in the embattled field, in defence of their rights and liber: ties of their country against a vandal foe, you protected yourself by an official position from liabilty to such noble Eervice, and, have ignominiously perverted it to the purposes of peculation r nd pilfering. You had not received, indeed, any formal appointment of post master at the Big Spring Depot, but you had been employed as deputy of your father, who held the office till his death, and you continued, with the acquiescence of the Government, to discharge its functions for several months afterwards. It was during this latter period that you committed the crimes for which you are now to suffer. Under the instructions of the court you were held to be an employee of the Post Office Department and so eubje.t to the pains and penalties of the law. That law is a severe one and has itself fixed the mini mum period of your confinement in the Penitentiary at ten years. Should your conduct in prison be exemplary, I will cordially recommend your case to Executive clem ency at the end of the first year of your punishment. You are young, not long inured tD crime, and I trust the terrible jpunishment you are to undergo, will wofk your reformation , not harden you into an incorrigible criminal. That you may leave the Penitentiary a re formed and penitent man, I earnestly hope. It only remains to prouounce the sentence of the law, WHICH 13 : iUikt yuu UC lil&CU UCUW iu iuc . cuucunaiji at Richmond and be there confined at hard labor lor the term of ten years and one day, and pay a fine of one dollar to the Confederate States. A Faithful Slave. .During the march of the Yankee prisoners from the Fair Grounds to the South Side Depot, to take the cars for Rich mond, a few days since, they had to pasB in their route the Washington Hotel, .in front of which wa9 congregated a nnmber of persons," among them several slaves. One cf the Yankees accosted one of the latter, askiDg him 'kif that was water he had in his can?" 41 No," replied the negro, " and if it was I wouldn't give you a drop to saWe your cussed lite. You rascals dun'driv me tnr from home now, and done ruined old massa, and I don't want nuffin to do with yon no way." Borne of the Yankees clustered around highly indignant at the negro's bearing and language,.while others appeared to be amused; bntthe negro maintained hia boldness, and addressed them in terms of abuse not at all complimentary. One of them was heard to remark, " that's the thanks we get for fighting for the d d negro." Af er the crowd passed on a gentleman who heard the al tercation, asked the negr what he meant by talking to the fellows so? " Why," eays he, "massa, dey don driv me away from Alexander, (Alexandria,) and dan brok9 old massa clean up." "We had," Baid the faithful lellow, while a tear gathered in his e.te, " a fine house and farm, and a. whole heap of npgroes, but these d d villains stole most all; they burnt out house, and killed our cattle and hogs and sheep, and driv ole massa and missus and Miss Annie, and Miss Ellen, and Mars Tom and mo away." And as these sceres of the past crowded upon him, he cried outright at tie harrowing reeollection of a desolated home, and his beloved old master and mistress, and their no less loved offspring, whom he had a thousand times daEdled on his knee, fleeing from beiore the rushless advance of the savage invader. This is no. fancy sketch, but an actual oc currence, and reveals the character of this faithful slave in a most amiable light, and we regret that our informant neelected to obtain his name. It would have given us pleasure to record it in these columns. Lynchburg Republican, Adurea oi Gen. iirtcklHrldge to lit a Troops.

Baton Eonge, from the charac ter of the ground, could not be taken and held while ihe enemy commanded tbe river. Accordingly, me " ArKan sas " was to engage the gnnboats, mortarboats, and float ing battery, while you were to whip the enemy on land. Uafortunately the machinery ot the Arkansas became so much injured, that she could not reach the scene cf action. Your part of the work was nobly done. After marching all night through a country destitute of water, you attacked an enemy superior to yon in number, admirably posted, and supported by the fire of their fleet, you forced them from their positions, taking prisoners and several flags ; killing and wounding many ; destroying most of their camps, and large quantities of public stores ; and driving them to the bank of the river under cover of the guns of their fleet. The inability of the Arkansas to reach the scene of conflict, prevented tie victory Jrm being com plete ; but jou have given the enemy a Bevcru and salutary lesion. And now those who so lately were ravaging and pander ing this region, do not dare to extend their pickats jeyond the sight of their fleet. You have proved again, what has been so often demon strated in this war, that the soldiers of the Confederate States, fightic", in a just cause, are superior to their ene mies. JOELS C.

" Where my home was glad, are ashes, " And horror and shame had been there ; " For I found on the fallen lintel " This tress cf my wife's torn hair ! " They are turning the slave upon us, " And, with more than the fiend's worst art, " Have uacovertd the fires of the savage, " That slept in his untaught heait ! " The ties to our hearts that bcuad him, They have rent, with curses, away, " And maddened him, with their madness, " To be almost as brutal as they. " With halter, and torch, and Bible, " And hymns, to sound the drum, " They pieach the Gospel of murder, " And pray for Luat'a kingdom to come ! " To saddle ! Tosadl'.e! my brothers ! " Look up to the rising son, " And ask of the God who shines there, " Whether deeds like these shall be done ! " Wherever the Vandal cometh, " Press home to his heart with your steel, " And where'er at his bosom ye cannot, " Like the serpent, go strike at his heel ! . " Through thicket and wood go hunt him ! " Creep up to his camp firenide, " And let ten of his corpses blacken, " Where one of our brothers hath died ! " In his fainting, footsore marches " In his flight from the Btricken fray " In the snare of the lonely ambuBh. " The debts that we owe him pay ! " In God's hand, alone, i3 vengeance ; " But he strikes with the hands of men " And his blight would wither our manhood, ''If we smote not the smiter again ! " By the graves, where our fathers slumber, " By the shrines, where our mothers prayed, " By our homes, and hopes, and freedom, " Let every man swear, on his blade. " That he will not sheathe nor stay it, " Till from point to heft it glow "With the flush of Almighty justice, " In the blood of the felon foe !" They swore ; and the answering sunlight Leapt red from their lifted swords, And the hate in their hearts made echo To the wrath in their burning words ! There's weeping in all New England, And by Schuylkill's bank a knell, And the widows here, and the orphans, How the oath was kept can tell. More Butcheries. Everywhere, from all directions where the Yankees have possession of Southern territory, we hear of the hanging and shooting of our citizens and soldiers by the diabolical enemy. The last batch of horrors is that which followed the death of that brutal and bloody tyrant, McCook, who has been happily sent to his last reckoning by the hands of a patriotic guerilla. The butcheries of Southern citizens, which followed, were just what might be expected from wretches who are permitted to perpetrate such deeds as the hanging of Mumford with impunity. What is to be the end of thesd atrocities it is not difficult tp foresee. A war of exterminationlooms up before us in all its horrors a war the whole responsibility of which rests upon the most ma lignant and murderous race, unless the French Revolution ists of the Kobespierrean scnooi, mat tne world has ever seen. S. Carolinian. From Gen. McClellan's army. The movements of McClellan's army have ceased to excite much in terest. In alluding to the late evacuation by the Fed erals of Malvern Hill, the "Army of the Potomac" cor respondent of the New York Times, under date of fAugust 10, says : I bis retrograde movement was deemed expedient, as reliablj information bad been received at headquarters that a force of 75,000 of the enemy were advancing to retake possession of the hill. Gen. Hooker's force was not sufficient to meet the overpowering numbers of the enemy, and it was not the plan of McClellan to bring on a general engagement at that time. 1 he return ol our troops to camp created considerable surprise among those who had not been with the advance, as a few hcurs previous there was unmistakable evidence that it was the intention of McClellan to permanently occupy the hill. It is not probable any movement will take place here for some time, unless the enemy make an attack. We do not believe that he 'vill risk a battle in front of our line on thi3 side of tbe river, nut it would not De sur prising: vent if he should march a large force to meet our men on the South side. The point of interest now is on the South side of the river. Uy means ot the Big nal corps constant x communication is kept up from one to the other snore, une atternoon iasi weeK lien, McClellan stood "beside a signal officer lor two hours, sending and receiving messages. Over 200 messages were communicated during tne dag, lien. McClellan expressed himself highly pleasad with the usefulness and tuccess ot tne system. WILMEIGTOJf DISTRICT. THIRD BOCXP.

Troops son of James Herring deceased, and aged 25 years. ' The deceased was a young man of an open, kind, noble, and generous heart, and by his strict devotion to the noble rules of truth, jaBtice and sobriety, he had won the entire confidence and esteem of all who knew him, thus leaving an example worthy the imitation of all. He was a kind and an aSectionate son, and a loving brother, and he was always ready and even anxiou3 to assist his mother in every thing. At the commencement of the war and the call to arms, he nobly and gallantly responded, forsaking home with all its endearments, for the defence of cur great and most noble caube, which he seem to love so dearly. When called upon to test his sk'H and bravery, he calmly and triumphantly past through the heavy fire at Hanover, and soon after the great battles before Richmond without receiving a single wound. His bravery was to great in all those engagements that he won the applause of both his officers'and comrades. Soon after struggling so nobly for our independence, he was taken with Typhoid fever and shortly died, without being eurrounded by his relatives and friends, who would so glajjly have administed to his wants, soothed and com forted him in his illness, and watered his couch with tears of sorrow ; but let it console us to think that death was no terror to him. He leaves a kind and affectionate mother, several loving brothers and sisters, to weep ; but they mourn not as thoso who have no hope. Blessed are thev that die, who die in the Lord. . ( Sacrtd to the Memory of James II. BI. Everett. Ia the death of this young man, another of nature's noble men have passed from time to eternity ! A heart has lost its idol J a home its gladness ; he was pious without osten tation; generous and upright ia alibis intercourse: quiet and tjnassuming in his manners ; blended with an inflexible truth, he won the entire confidence of all who knew him Prompted by a devotion to principle, he bid adieu to his home and friends, and sought the blood tinted fieli of car nage, where he has oflered up his life wih that coolness and unflinching heroism, worthy of riper years. Pease "my heart, oh ! cease to grieve, it was God's will to blight and nip the tender plant to bloom in fairer bowers. We will hear his footstep no mofe forever, and that familiar voice is hushed in death's deep doom : the solemnitv of tha tnmh encloses all, but around his memory will linger a hallo of never dying love, cntil those who now take part in thu laat tribute to his worth tihall have followed him in the journey, which for a brief period, he has preceded, us through the dark valley of death and gained a home high up in Heaven, Wilmington, N. C. At Wrightsville, on the evenine of the 17th in;t., ISABEL SAVAGE, youngest daughter of William A. and Eliza Ann Wright, aged 5 years and 3 montha. " Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set, but all Thou hast all feasors for thine own, Oh Death." A flower just opening has been withered in the bud ; a bright and beautiful thing upon which the eye loved to rest has vanished from earth, for little Bel is daad. So young, so mil ot Health and lite, who would have thooght that ia one short week that jovcm heart would cease to beat ; those busy feet be still ? Bel is dead ; hushed is the merry laugh of happy childhood, and silent now ia the voice whose lisping toues ot innocence and love-made home so blight and happy. Still, though dead to ua, she lives again in that purt-r world on high, and blooms afresh in glorious immor tally, in the bosom of her Saviour and her God. May He who 6enda pffliction, give comfort to the sorrowing heart and soothe the aching head, and enable them to say with humble lesignaticn, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away ; b.essed be tbe name of the Lord."

The deceased io;ght gallantly in nearly all the great and terrific battles near Hichmond, and distinguished himself on acccount m hia bravery. He was born and raised ia New Hanover Co., N. 0., end from the time he was twelve years of age has lived a member of the M. E. Church, and died in hopes of-that rest that remains for all the people of God He was one among the first to shoulder his rifle in advocacy of Southern rights, and had beeff in the service more than twelve months ; and it teems thit ha had done all that his kind Maker was willing for him to do. A. few days after the last battle was fought he was taken with the Typhoid fever, and lived only eight da a. The bereft consists of a fathor and mother, brothers and sisters who are now mourning his death very much indeed, and for the comfort of the beref t we can only Fay, altough His body is ia the grave, from labor he has ceased, His flghtin? n 'er is ivshing is done, Hje is gone from the noisy battles and is now in peace ; With him the war is o'er, the victory is won. Weep not dear mother for your darling boy, Weep not, although lrom you he is gone ; I know he was once youx pride and joy, But weep not dear mother, he's now in Heaven. W e know you loved him, this is true, And you he loved, its very well known ; But God saw fit to take him from you, ' And carry him to th'e gloriou3 lights cf Heaven. His ways were always, always mild and meek ; He was the dearest object to you was given, 1 hen let us all endeavor to seek The way to meet up in Heaven. We never cau forget him, although His form now sleeps in the tomb ; But let us live so as to fc el and know That we are prepared to meet him in Heaven. His body ia in-the grave, from labor he has ceased, His lighting is o'er, his marching no more, From the war he is gone, and is now in peace ; With him the battles are fought, the victories won. It is joy to think, that his Bpirit is not dead, Though his body in the grave was laid down ; And happiness it is that his Soul ha3 flgd To Heaven sweet Heaven his long Bought Home. On the battle field before Richmond, on the 2Gth June, of wounds there received, WM. W. HARVEL, aged 25 years. The deased had all the qualities that adorn the character of the man and tae soldier, and endear a man to his compan ions and relatives.

On the 7th inst., at his own residence, near Scnth Wash ington, HARDY CP.OOM, in the 61st year of his age. The above record announces to a large circle of friends and relations the mortal end of a good man, aDd one whose exalted christian character as a member of the Baptist Church for more than thirty-five years will be remeaibered in tne community in wnicn he Jived. He expressed a wil lingneEsto die and be at rest, lie was a devoted husband, a fond and affectionate parent, a kicd and obliging neigh bor. Dying, he has left a bereaved wife and several chil dren, besides tumerous relatives and fiiends, to mourn their irrecoverable Ices. Kay they so follow in hia loot steps so pursue the paths of piety and usefulness that when they come to the confines of the house appointed for all the living, they may likewise be prepared to qui5 this mortal state with a bright and glorious prospect of passing safely through the Valley and Shadow of Death to the pos session of tnat come not made witn hands eternal in the heavens where the wicked cease from trouble and the wea ry be forever at rest. J. B. P. The Biblical Reborder will please copy. On the night of the 13th inst., at the residence of Jos. E. Bunting, Esq , Mulberry Grove, New Hanover county, N. C, SALLIE . KING, daughter of Mrs. L. H. Bowden.jagcd 17 years aad 5 months. Deeply haB the sodden death of this yourg la3y been felt by her relatives and numerous friends. Her amiability and shining virtues endeared her to all. But yesterday, as it were, Bbe was ia our midst, blooming with health, joyous, happy andtay, with a smi'eand a kind word for everyone ; the life of her circle of friends, and beloved by them all To-day, alas ! she is no more ! Her eyes, ctce beaming with gentleness, are now dimmed and closed forever ; her lips refuse to greet with usual kind expressions the words of endearment now lavished upon her by her grief-stricken friends, who lament the loss o: her they loved so dearly. God has seen proper to remove this frail, fiir flower from thise irtb, and take her to himself in Heaven ; and while we lament her death as our lots, let us remember that by it she is freed from the cares and sorrows of this selfish world, and placed with the angels above, where death can have no entrance, and where life 13 everlasting. H. Departed this life in Wilson, N. C, on Thursday, the 7th of August, Maj. JAME3 S. WHITEHEAD, of the 55th N. C. Troops, sou ol Howell Whitehead, Efcq , of Pitt county, N.C. Thin excellent maa and gallant officer was in the service of bis-country at the taking of Hatteras, and wag a prison J er in Fort Warren from August ot last year xo r eoraary oi this. He was at that time ia the Washington Greys, the first company formed in Beauford county. Upon his return he raised a company of his own, which wa? assigned to the 55th regiment, ia whioh, upon its formation, Capt. White head was elected Major. During the last Beven yearB of his life he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and for several years was a useful office-bearer in the Church. He was in attendance upon a Court Martial in Kiatton when attacked by his last illness, which contin ued a fortnight, and was endured with exemplary patience. A portion of that time he seemed specially blessed with the comforts of oar Divkie Religion. In his deleriou3 hours bis spiritual interests, and his military duties seemed to absorb and divide hie attention;. sometimes he would be giving or ders and caring fpr the welfare of hia men, and at other times be would break into expressions of the most earnest prayer, bis words more coherent then than at other times. Thus passed away, in the 27th year of bia age, one of the noble army of our Christian patriots, who, fighting the bat tles of cur freedom, and enrolling their names among its blessed martya. As a son and brother ; as a citizen and an officer-; as a friend and a Christian gentleman, be endeared I himself to many who will keep his memory fresh and lovely I m their hearts, and strive 10 imitate tnoae virtues wmuu made him so noble a specimen of manhood. t v ?er re8i3e in UTfiplin county, on the evening of n&WV11"- & DICKSON, wife of Sal o Darling Carry, thou hast left us, - We thy loss most deeply feel, ' ' Bnt 'tis God that hast bereft us : He can all our .orrowa heal. Small Business. CaDf. Lharlpa TT. R Warf f f) i w-r- . k vi iug , 2d Virginia regiment, has sent to this nffi hp! specimens of'counterfeit small notes, which were found in a bundle thrown away by one of the Yankee prisoners, captured at the battle of Cedar Run. One of these is a twenty-five cent note of the corporation nf p.;mrtr,i exceedingly well executed and calculated to deceive. Another, is a one dollar note, corporation of RichmnrSi first issue, dated April 19, 1861. This note bears only a slight resemblance to the genuine and may easily de tected. The third is a iwenty-fiive cent note of the county of Uamden, North Carolina. Not having one of the original notes before us we cannot say whether the counterfeit is likely to impose- upon the public The fourth is a fifty cent note on the "Meohanices Sayings and Loan Association," of Savannah, Ga. This counterfeit is said, by those who have seca the original note, to be well executed and difficult of detec tion, Tho one before us certifies that " J. Ross" has deposited fifty cents with the Association, and is num bered 155 Douglas, eng. N. O. No other people than the 1 ankees would resort to the contemptible business of counterfeiting these notes, and they only add another to the many evidences we already have ot the unprincipl ed foe with whom we are contending Richmond Dispatch. An exchange paper explains the object of Morgan's late expedition. It says he had been indicted for treason in one of the counties of Kentucky, and went up to have hlfl trial, but the case was postponed. A Texas editor starts a paper,- and in order to place hia sheet within the reach of everybody, proposes to print" money at a reasonable prico for those who don't have it ! That is certainly liberal. The Chicago Times asserts that the Federal expedition ia the Indian Territory found that the Confederates had aban doned Fort Gibson, and had taken position on the south Side of the Arkansas, at the month of Grand river. The Confederate force numbered 6,000, 3,500 being Indians. COMMERCIAL. WILMINGTON MARKET, Aug. 20th, 1862.
