Ho has gone from his homo like Ihe sua beams,

Of the flrst wintry blast. lie bss parted with
life,
'Mid the clamor of war and the chill winds of
strife.
With tbe brave of our army?(he best of our
land?
He feared not in hardships or danger to aland;
He quailed not when missiles of death sped
around?
* Kot once faltered heal (he cannon's dire sound.
With glory and hope in his bosom ho fell ?
"He fell, gallant bey! at his post, fighting well.
His comrades are weeping around his cold
form;
He heeds not their sorrow?lie feels not the
storui
Of striie and of battle; his soul is at rest
Where trouble and pain shall no more fill his
, breast?
Ho fife call to duty ! no drum bent alarm!
He reveille rob his sweet drciuus of their
^ charm!
He is sleeping so sweetly?Oh ! friends, weep
not now!
Itemember that glory and love crown his brow;
l>ispel the dark anguish which l-idcs with you
still.
And sweep* o'er your heart?sting* with pitiless
thrill.
Anolhnr star beams above in the bright baud
To guide you in safety to that happy land.
To thee, age i sire, whose silver looks tell
That H eaven is uot distant?there thou shall
soon dwell;
To the fa.thful mother, whose sad, breaking
heart ?.
Now feels that the denies! and best must dc!'*rt;
T-? the brother?sisters?may God send his

Obamik, New Jersey, Sept. 8,1864.
Gentlemen : 1 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter, infor

National Convention, recently ajtsctubled
at Chicago, as their candidate at the

li in unnecessary tor uie to k j to you j

1 am happy to know that, when the tiom- !
iuution was made, the record ot uiy public '
lite was kept in view.
The effect of long and varied per* ice in ;
the" army, duringwar and peace, has been
to strengthen and make indcllible in my
mind and heart the reverence for the ( ulon,
Constitution, laws and flag of our j
lountry, impressed upon me in early youth, t
1'hese feelings have thus far uuided the
course of my lile, and must continue to do
it) to its end.
The existence of more than one Govern I
mcnt over the region which once owned
iur flag ia incompatible with the peace, '
the power, and the liappimss of the peof?lc.
The preservation of our Union was the
lole'avowed o ject for which the war was ,
jomineiiced It should have been conduct- '

Thus conducted, the wurk of reeoncilia-|

ones on land mid sea
\ lie I n ion wan originally formed by the
xcreisc of a spirit of conciliation and coin

hat our present adversaries arc ready for '

At Indianapolis, on the 29th ultimo,
there was a gran J reception of several returning
regiments. Governor Morton made
an address to the soldiers, iu the oourse of
which he discussed the question of an armistice
as follows :
It requires two parties to make an ar- i
mistice; and Jeff. Davis has already declar- ,
cd that he demands the withdrawal of our |
armies fiotu the South as a necessary pre ;
liminary to any negotiation. \\ ho shall
ask toi uu armistice ? Shall our Govern- i
ment sue lor terms at the feet of the South? j

does an ai mist ice mean f It means to cease
operations in fiont ot* Atluina; it meanH to
louse (lie hold ou Richmond; it means to
stop Furragut at Mobile.
As every one knows, diplomacy takes a
great deal ol liuic, and probably, at last,
would tail. Cuu we spare enough of the
weather now left us for military operations
to be frittered away in armistice, and then
tind ourselves carried into the winter, when
our campaign must necessarily close ? Can
we atlord that now '( Hut who believes the
rebels will vol: nturily come back into the
Union, uiid give up those very ideas for
which th-y have suffered the horrors of a
long and blo -dy war, especially if W3 are
to acknowledge, by a.-king an armistice,
that we are unable to conquer them ?

to look at Forrest's men, and we must

there is a manly devil may care air

saw them, knots of tlieiu were denning |

These manly patriots look altogether
worthy of their great leader, and the rough

have been trailed. Hurrah for Forrest's

Richmond, September 7. r
I am glad to bear that the Coafederato
Government appreciates the existing Qtate
of things aud will exert itself to the utmost
to remedy late mishaps. Unless' I
have been misinformed, an event is- about
to oocur which will bring j-jy to the people
of Georgia and disturb considerably the
lerenity of Sbcrmau. This event will best
innouooe itself.
It is also reported, on good authority,
that the laxiiy of the Con.-cript Bureau is
to be looked into?a laxity doe the law,
perhaps, sod not to the carelessness of tho
lj ..ME .V. I ?t. an*

000 n?*?i within the couscript age, who are
now at large io the Confederate otatea, mv
be gathered into the fold. Of the 200,000
not lens than 40,000 are said to be detail*
ed iu Virginia aloue. In addition to the
rant number ot known, there is a large
number of unkuown, persons liable to military
duty. I am told that these "unknown
lieiocs" may occasionally be seen flitting
pant the opea wiudows of certain rooms in
thia city, snd that, after midnight, they
give themselves an niting on our principal
streets.
Something must be done to fill up eur
armies, "that is pea." Lincoln has already
knocked off two thirds of his 500,000
draft and intimates that many of the
remaiuing 300,000 will be needed to replace
the 100 days and three years' men,
whose term are aLout to expire. But
(jrant declares lie wants only 100,000, and
we can readily sec that sucn an addition
to the Yankee armies will require at least
half that number to be added to our own
armies. Thia is no time for trifling cr dp
by ; the crisis is upon us, and the State,
executives and the people must assist the
Government in meeting it promptly.
We await with some anxiety the result
of the Yankee draft, which was put in force
Jay before yesterday. The fall of Atlanta,
however, will be au effectual quietus to
my opposition. Still, as a Loutlou paper
sell argues, all thuae who have had even a
three mouths' taste wf thj war?to say
nothing of the three years' men?will oae
every artifice to ewca|te, and resort to violence
if a good chance occur.
ifcr British Majesty's late order in regard
to prizes cairied into her ports is not
<o unfavorable lor the Confederates as was
at first supposed. The right to transfer
:aptuied property from an armed cruiser
into a blockade runner is of special uupcrADCe.
All sceuts quiet in the armies hereabouts.
Whether Early has retreated this side of
Winchester, we know not certainly. A
Scree struggle for the Soulhsidc road is expected
daily.

A despatch from Memphis to the Chicago
Tribune admits the ludicrous scare
ho Yankees ha I from Forrest dashing into
Memphis. It guys:
The scene on Tuesday morning was
scarcely less terrible than t1 at of Monday.
IVith no rebels within fifteen miles of us,
thousands of men, women and children,
ind, sad to say, officers, chaplains and solliors,
rushed to the fort, and in many initunces
behaved with great cowardice. I
earn that General Fotrcst has sent in srtjrd
to General Wushburne that he regretted
taking his clothes without his heiug in
them, and that if he would send h'tn grey
cloth enough for a suit, #he^would return
the General's wardrobe.
Tbc General replied that if he would return
his clothes he would do so, if General
Forrest would designate some talc place
for the clothes to be deposited : so I suppose
our General will get his clothes. His
watch whs stolen from under his tiillow.
The thieving rebel loot it opposite headquarters
and an orderly found it. The

The following froui the L^uisvtUa Journal
shows how the Yankee* get up "recruits"
tor their arui^ in Kentucky :
The colored population were slightly excited
yesterday and the day before.
The military authorities concluded, to
clear the streets ot the idle loafers, and
the patrol guard was instructed to arrest
all of the African citixons, tree, slave or
contraband, found idling about the city,
On Tuesday evening two hundred of said
Atricniua were collected by the guard and
furnished quarters for the. night at Bar?

Ci]iUin llcwett yesterday morning to be
placed at work on the fort i Heat ions of the
city. The patrols were still after the colored
population yesterday, and numerous
stragglers were picked up aud furnished
with something to do.
The "contrabands"?that is Slaves from
Southern States made free by the President's
proclamation?are given a chance to
volunteer into the army, and beoome members
of the Corps d'r friqtus. If they aro
not patriotic enough to volunteer, by some
peculiar process they nre drafted into the
ranks. It requires but a suit of blue fcnd
a musket to to transform tho worthless con- .
truliand into a brave. defender oi the Un?
ion. The "free American citizens," natives
of Africa and descendants of Ham, aro
placed into the fatigue corps, famished
with "bos*e?," a pick, and a spade, and
place to dig. *
