" ^ My dear little CHASLIE, _ ** There'? nota garden walk we tread, There's not a flower wc see. But brings to mind some hope that's Had, Some joy'that's gone with thee.'* But ..." " All tfiat's bright must fade, Th? brighest still tho fleetest j? All that's sweet was made ' But to be lost when s wac test." . DIED, on the evening of tho 9th. of January, after a short but severe illness of on'y four days, JENNIE, daughter of EDWARD and NANCY PRES LEY, and adopted daughter of JOHN F. and RACHEL S. BURNS, of Edgefield District; Deep grief rests on theso once happy house holds; for a bright flower has boon suddenly snatch ed away by the cruel hand of Death, to bloom in Eternity. JENN it. the gentle, and pure-bear ted, fis gone from us. Her voice is hushed on Earth ?rever. The place that knew " her will knew her no more. Nothing can fill the aching void inude in tho new desolate home-cirole. Scarcely fifteen years of unclouded1 sunshine, has she trod life's pathway, endearing herself to alUbyher manyi beautiful traita of character. .Tho. world was bright before her; and juat advancing io woman hood, ?he gave promise of being an. ornament to the little circle In which, th o moved. The favorite of her schoolmates, sha walked among them un conscious of the love thoy bore her. Long, long, will her memory be dear to us. May Ho euablo the bereaved to say, " Thy will be done." . ff Oh she was too fair aad dear For our troubled pathway here ; Heaven,-that was her natural sphere,. Has its own removed." A FRICKS. FELL, in a ikirmish in front of Rn orville; on the 18th day of Nor. lasV Private WILLIAM BROWN, Co. K, 15th Regt. S. C. V. "WILLIAM BR?WX waa enlisted as a recruit to the above-named Company in tho carly, portion of 1BG2, and continued with .us, ia all the dangers and hardships of the soldier's life, having enjoyed remarkably good health ; he was r.bscnt inly once from tho Company, and then only for a short time. As a soldier be was prompt in the discharge of duty, and behaved well in battle; as a man he waa temperato and pious, much of his timo boing doroted to tho reading of the Scriptures-and the praise of God. H? died in the-28th year of bis age, leaving a a loving wi'o and several little children, whom he . loved most devotedly. Ho also leJBbehind two brothers ia the same Company. Wuh his family aad friends we sincerely sympathize, and ei Secially with tho bereaved wife. Wo hope and eli'eve that* her husband is now where the ' " wicked cease from troubling, aad the wearied are at rest." ' H. I. BYRD. PRIVATE H. C. n ARRIS ON, Co. K,*15th STc. . Regt, and son of Jas. S. and MARY A. HARRISON, the subject of-this brief notice, was born March 21sl 1845, and enlisted for the war in tho above named Company at the time of its organization, when he waa scarcely more than 16 years of ago. He served his country most faithfully upon the Coast ef South Carolina, in the Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania campaigns, and in tho West. As a saldier ho was cheerful, brave and prompt-ever ready and willing to discharge his duty. It is on?bgh to say that he belonged to KEKSH A w's Brigade, LONGSTREET'S Corps,'and as a soldier of auch a command has ever acquitted himself with honor. At the battlo of Chickamauga his gallan try was such as to win" tho admiration of all who witnessed it. In a heavy skirmish near Knoxville, on the 13th of Nov. last, while nobly fighting'for Soulhorn rights ho fell dead, pierced through the right breast and left thigh. Endowed, with energy and perseverance, ho rad only to have lived to hare made for himself a name and left an impression of his worth which thi lapse of years could only have effaced; but he was cut down in the very bloom of youth, When the qualities which characterized the man wer? just being fully developed. It grieves the writer to think how inadequate the use of tho pen must of necessity bo when -an attempt is made to do justice to the memory of one so gifted, gallant and noble. He has loft behind him, fond parents, an affec tionate sister and two youthful brothers, to whom wo oiTer our sincere sympathies. A short time previous to the departure of his Regiment from Virginia te go to Chattanooga, he sent tho accompanying farewell, address to his parente, whom ho so devotedly loved, in which he so tenderly tolls them that if it bo God's will that he shauld fall in the defence of his conntry he was ready te make the sacrifice. Farewell to theo father.' although I am young, I go the war's wild alarms, Our country to save from oppression and wrong, Or dhj with my comrades iu arms. . farewell, father, dear ! I may never again Fondly gaze on those locke thin and gray ; Bat if in the conflict of battle I am slain. To meet thee in'Heaven I pray. Farewell to thee, mother! No love is like thine, So lasting, so deep and so pure ; ATpd j trust, through the goodness of Providence,, To rotern to thy besom secure. Farewell mother, doar ! If I die far way, Thy heart will be grieved for thy son, But God will sustain thee, and cause theo to say, " Thy will, Righteous Father, be done." Farewell to you, brothers too ! Dear little boys, You know not tho meaning of foe ; May God make me strong in defence of thc cause, And saro you, my brothers', from woe. Farewell, my dca? brothers J Bc loving and good, And mind what dear mother may say ; Your brother will come back if best that he should, For God can his enemies slay. Farewell, sister, dear Sjjjbcn I think of tqe wrong, The fiends would inflict if they could, I can scarcely refrain from polluting my tongue, With a curse ou the black-hearted brood. Farewell, my dear sister! may God keep you puro, ! Surrounded, wift tsomforts and friends, ? And blest with the'grace that alone can secure, The bliss that Wo know never ends. Farcwf ll io you all ! aad my last it may be, But may God whom I reverence and lijar,, So a home that is blest, iu" a land that is pure, Bring safoly tho young Volunteer, H. L B. . A telegram from Dalton states that tho officers and soldiers of Bates'brigade unanimously adopted a resolution agicoiag to enlist for tho war, Rnd determined never to lay down their arms until their homes are rescued from thc enemy and* thc Confederacy permanently ' establish nd among t ho nations of the earth. Tho South Carolina Central Association have purchased sinco Jan. 1st, 15,1)00 lbs hides to be tanned and mart? up iuto shoos. Also over 11,000 yards woolen stnifs to bc made into gar ment?.

Thoir opinion is a right one this time-certain. Grant will "not find it an easy job to advance at alt.

A most disastrous fire occurred in Columbia 3resterday, by'whtcfc property-, to the amount,. ? of several millions of dollars tva? speedily de-" strayed.* I's-: cause .Temains unknown.' It ( broke outshout 10 45 a. m., in the central cotton shed of the square-on Lady street next to Alexander's foundry ind machine shop;;, -andjrapidly ?pw*d to the two other sheds .on the sr.me square and almost as rapidly leaped :the space of the.stree't separating it from, the . sqr. ire next above to the east. On thc squaro fiist named, all the buildings 'ccrntaiuing cot ton and one containing two steam cr, gin OM, eight or ten sugar mills, a'gfisf mill and cast ings were destroyed. Thc cotton was stored by J. M.- Blakely <fc Co., thtmills, &c, bo- j longed to John Alexander. One building fronting tjio south on, this square was saved by great exertions and by . the pjnergetic and prompt assistance ofCapt. Sejiu arid his com pany' of eighty men. Their conduct, has been the theme of much praise. It was a difficult. feat to save this building enveloped as it was by others in full conflagration'on the west, - north ond east of it, and near to it. A cot ton shed'-on-'the square above and several res idence's were consumed. This cotton was also stored by-Blakely & Co. Two of the dwell ings belonged to T. D. Fc&ster. Capt. Casson was ft heavy sufferer-losing his dwelling and out houses, furniture, and valuable stores of j provisions,-a considerable quantity of rice, pickled beef, pork and eight killing hogs. Later in. the day, about 2,30 p. m.,.the flames extended to the cotton shed owned by J. G. I Gibbes, on the western corner cf the gas work's I lot. The building and 500 bales upland cot 1 ton were soon past recevery.Surprise has been expressed at the I035 of this building. It is thought, that, at least, the cotton might have been saved. It is estimated that. 3.750 bales of upland and 800 bales of sea island, in the bands of j Blakely & Co.. and 500 bales of upland, be longing to Mr. Gibbes, is aBout-the amount of the loss of cotton. We have not learned, the extent of insurance, except that there was none on the cotton of Mr.. Gibbes, and that Mr. Hitt is a loser (having no insurance,) to the amount of $10,000, on a lot of cotton stored with Blakely & Co. 3 Mr. Alexander's loss will probably equal $50,000. We have no doubt f at many persons have lost con siderably, and that the greatest ' loss, though it may be nominally less than thoso mention ~ed, has fallen upon persons, who . hav? been dispossessed pf home and its comforts. Diff?rent conjectures have been expressed as to the cause of the fire. A rigid scrutiny ought to be instituted into it. We have heard casually that an attempt was made by an in cendiary to fire the work shop and mill of j Mr. Tozer, during the height ?nd fury of | tho conflagration. Our people cannot bc too watchful. Wc should baye mentioned before that* our firemen wcro promptly on the spot, and did all that zeal, energy and siill could effect to extinguish the flames-The fire was peculiar ly angry and uncontrollable iii its character, owing to 'the high wind prevailing, and the combustible materiallt fed upon.-r-Columbia Guardian. A TOUCH OSE.-A soldier was observed a short lime since busily engaged in making depredations upon the .colonies that had com fortably established themselves among the ca pillary ornaments of his person. A passer by noiiccd him, and said, " Why don't'you pul mercurial ointment on your head and kill those things !" " Mercurial ointment,'" said the soldier, " why I've got lice on my Lead th::t are able to sit up and eat two bits worth, and get fat on it. Jtwtlook a't that follow I've just caught-big enough to be shot with a musket ball fifty yards. He's been feeding on mercurial ointment for a monti."-Atlan ta Confederacy. - ? -?- ?
