defence of human Libert)'.

that he has left behind him that most priceless of
legacies, a manly example and an untarnished reputation.

late Quartermaster of the First Regiment of S. C.
Vols., has been called home to him who gave it,
the " dust returning to dust," we share with his
relatives and fiiends in the loss, and tender to
them our warm est sympathies in their bereavement.
Faithful in his duties as an officer, temperate, pure
in language, affectionate, his heart attached itself
to those around hiin. While we, his fellow officers,
strive to wear the mantle of all that was good
in his character, we will cherish the faith that
" God calls the loved ones, but we looso not wholly
What he has given ;
Tlu-y live on earth, in thought and deed
As truly as in Heaven. '
It was voted that a copy of the al>ove be sent for

r?ng.-General George C. Strong
brave, gallant, dashing and accomp!hft||^^^^H|
the pride and idol of his brigade,
spected by all who knew his noble
heard of his splendid deeds, Is no
%
In the last assault on Fort Wagner, alter his
brigade had been repulsed, he still stayed at the
front where was the hottest of the fight, striving to
tally those who straggled, and to inspire by his
presence and actions those who were struggling on
in the face of a terrific fire. While thus distinguishing
himself, he was struck in the thigh by a
small fragment of sneii, wmcn passed inrougn me
fleshy portion around the bone, product a very
painful wound, but one which it was hoped would
yield to Surgeons' skill. He was carried North on
the Fulton, bearing with him the best wishes of
ail for a speedy recovery. Now the news comes
that he died in New York city on the morning of
the 30th, of lockjaw. The following is a brief
sketch of his life:
1 " Gen Strong was bom in Stockbridge, Vermont.
His father died when he was but eight years of
age, and he was adopted in the family of his uncle,
A. S. Strong, of Easthampton, Mass., under
whose care he received his first lessons for military
life. He entered West Point Academy in the
class of 1857, and held the post of first captain of
cadets for three years. Alter he was graduated
he had charge of the Budesbury Arsenal, was
thence transferred to Fortress Monroe, and thence
to Mount Vernon, Alabama. After the defection
of Major Mordecai he had charge of the Watervliet
Arsenal a short time ; but on the breaking
out of the war, he applied for active service, and
was placed on the staff of Gen. McDowell at the
battle of Bull Bun, and was highly complimented
for his efficiency in that battle. He was next appointed
on the staff of Gen. McClellan, but shortly
alter was detailed as ordnance officer by Gen.
Butler for the Department of the East, and after

of the Gulf. He distinguished himself at Rilozi and
in the perilous adventure up the Tarigipalio River.
Gen. Strong was a young man, but 31 years of age
nt the time of his death. He was brave ank skillful
in his profession, a thorough soldier and a
true gentleman. He was a favorite in the army,
and honored and trusted by the men under his
command. They were ready to follow his leadto
glory and the grave.'*
F&Ofc MEXICO.
The latest news from Mexico is interesting. It
announces the declaration of the empire by tho
Junta, or Corporation of the City of Mexico, and
the choice of Prince Maximilian, of Germany, as
the presumptive occupant of the imperial robes.
The decision of the city of Mexico was welcomed
by a salute of one hundred and one guns from tho
fortress of Vera Cruz. There are rumors of tho
assassination of Generals Ortega and La Llave by
their own soldiers at Queretaro ; but there is no
positive statement regarding such a bloody occurrence.
A good deal of sickness prevailed in some
parts of Mexico, smallpox and measles being some
of the mildest afflictions of the climate.
The designs of Louis Napoleon appear to l?e
very clear: The occupation of Sonoraas a French
province; the renewal of an allegiance with Spain;
a visit and a confidential talk with Queen Victoria
during her approaching sojourn in Germany: these
are portions of Napoleon's plans towards comple.
ting the destiny of the Empire of Mexico.
MISCELLANEOUS.
In the latest rebel papers the responsibility for
the rebel defeat at Gettysburg, is cast upon Gen.
Anderson, who is charged with having kept a large
force idle during the intensest part of the struggle,
nevertheless the rebels claim that the Union loss
was thirty thousand, while theirs was but onethird
of that number.

still remain on parole, according to the decision
of Colonel Ludlow.
