FOR THE OBSERVER.
Messrs. Kditors: Please allow me space in your
useful paper to record the death of our much loved
and esteemed friend, Renjamin I. Townsend, who
fell morfally wounded in the battle of Cedar Run,
while in command of his company, (his superior
otiicers being absent.) He received the wound
on the yth of August last and died the 10th. Thus
lias our country lost another gallant soldier.
He was a native of Richmond county, and be
longed to Co. E, 23d Reg’t N. C. T.
He leaves an aged father and mother, brothers
and sisters, to sorrow for their noble-hearted son
and affectionate brother, who was so untimely cut
down in the morning of life and vigor of youth.
\ et it is a consolation to know, “that the wintry
blast kills not the bud of virtue,"—that he died,
as we believe, trusting in a Saviour’s love. He
was about 22 years ot age, and had been a con
sistent member of the Baptist Church for 6 years.
In one of his little treasured missives wo find
these consoling lines; “I wish to return home
again, but if I should die on the battle-field, I
pray 1 may die at my post, with my eyes looking
peacefully towards Heaven.” To that bereaved
family we would say: Let those words console you;
trust in that Saviour who hears such prayers; and
though it is sad to know that he died far from
loved ones at home, yet remember that Jesus for
sakes not in the hour of death, and that He “can
make a dying bod feel soft as downy pillows arc."
Twas s'wl to lay him in the grave.
Far from bis friends and home.’
And place the turf npou hie breast.
Then leave him there alone.
Alone! oh no! one watcheth near,
And guards his dust with sacred care.
