of August 1344. Ho entered 'bc servite of bis

lu bis coinpuny he was ever known as u'sol
dicr who never neglected Iii? dutv, and whose
" oTiasaeter and chivalrous sense of honor it was
impossible not to love r.nd esteem. He was a
bravo soldier, a true patriot, a g"od^ boy-thc
most obedient arni, a ff- crinea te nf sons-tho tr-os.l
loving" and demoted of brothers. That bc w*s
brave and true, nud good can Le vouched for by
bis officers and comrade*. That he was obedient
nud affectionate and loving and devoted is vouch
.?ed for by bis fond adopted father and Lis genii*
. audmouruiogsitters. Tucscaloncknowh' w deeply
hr was loved at home, or how worthy ho wes to
be lovod." It is iu this homo ibo blow has fsllen
most heavily, and there it will be longest felt;
for he bas left behiud bim their, many whose
i?al hs wis-many who wcro proud of his high
' spirit and well-tented gallantry-younger broth
( rs and sisters, who loved him only as younger
jbrcthers and sisters cani'lovo thc oldest of tiicir
brothers. He was as amiable" at homo us bo was
brave iu thc field, nod no blood more precious
?hun his hus been shed in'this war, i:i which
? su much precious blood has bien poured out like
water.
His remains were brought to his home in Ed?o

we lose our slrongib, embarrass our fortitude and

riably turn; out to be a dance. Dut we observe
that the same passygs says there is " a time to
weep, a time to mourn, and a time to die." So
we soe no foundation whatever to ju?tify any

Thc Plays presantqd during the past week on

JTow fortunntc we aro to havo a *gular stage

. no village in tbe State has ?he same advantage.
Just tbink of " The Lady of Lyons" and ^Lon
don Assurance"-to say nothing of a half dozen
or'fiore beautiful farces-being presented in
Edt??'ld ! And sii admirably presented ! Upon
our honor, it is wonderful. The etprit, the taste,
thc energy, thc atnbiUoS) tko knowledge of-how
to-do-the-tliing, of this Corps Dramatique is
really worthy of the highest admiration. Better,
acting WOP never Tlono by amateurs. The work
.of stage management was never better-done. Did
any one ever sc? more beautiful or elegant cos
tumes- espcci.illy.tbosa of the ladies ? Many af j
these wero vern in former days to court, balls
and royal receptions in St, Pctorsburg. J)id any
one over see-in a country village such immense,
such appreciative, and such relined audioncos?
In short, did ev?r any one see more complete,
decided; a?.d triumphant successes? And thc
iJ,i?<l, how glorious and excitiug! And the ball
at R?gewoodj where the lady who wields the
bilton tf management dispensed ruck elegant and
abounding hospitality ; it was charming, ravi?
.ant! Wo do not speak with certainty, hut we.
believe soiuo Twenty-five hundred Dollars is tho

We allude to our very gifted and profoundly

not only gifted Und respected, but- universally
esteemed and beloved. This year ho is ou post

HAD MANAGEMENT.-Wjiat do tho Confed
c Rte Cpmmissiouers mean -by fixing thc
priccs'of meat and com at the figure that-t %
..hey have in the schedule published in anoth- ' '
: column?-Two dollars and twenty-five
.jems a pi.un? for buc-n^-Que dollar and sev
enty-five cents for pork, and livo dollars and
:i<?*rtc-r'per. bushel fur corn. These are
the price's to be allowed by ihe G ove*-"-n cut,
when it is well known that at the r' when
the schedule was prepared t beac a' ?es could
bc ob tailed in the market at a If s price, lt
is the intention of tho* Commissioners pur
posely to increase thc price of prjJvi>ions !
Do they expect the government, the people
or themselves, to be bencfi'ed by ii?" It
'seems to us that the Commissioner.* have
adopted a system by which to increase tfie
market value of b*|ron anq? corn, lt is well
known that producers will always demand
higher pr't-oss from private purchasers than
that fixed % the schedule, and if the Gov
ernment attempts to keep up witb^aad out'
bid t he-mai kel iu this way, by the expiration
of the year prices will have reached a * point
beyond that which imagination can follow
them.
We protest against this schedule. .It is
not only unjust and unfair in itself, but it is.
offering a bonus to speculation tn extortion.
Those farmers who have disposed of their
produce at previous prices ?lave just cause
for complaint, for the men who have withheld
and hoarded are the enea *o will bo beue
fittfed by this schedule. The finance of the
State abo will sutler ; for ir. will have to pay
theni increased prices for. provisions for sol
diers' families. As to her private^ purchas
ers and non-producers, their cases will soon
be desperate, if this sort of thing goes. on.
As we are ?tterly at a loss to conceive any
reason why the pr?sent prices have been
adopted in the schedule, we can only simply
protest against them as unjust, impolitic,
unreasonable and absurd.-Tallahassee Flo
ridian & Journal.
DESTITUTION OF AUK'S DOCUMENTS.-The
Petersburg Express of the 19th gives, us a
novel mode of . destituting old Abe's docu
ments :
A kite was seen to ascend from the Yankee
work?, and the parlies engaged in the' inno
cent aud somewhat juvenile pastime, M gave
her string," until it hovered irnmed'ately.ovc-r
our entrenchments. The-cord which bound
it was then severed, aud down cairne the kite.
The u tail" was found to consist of sundry
copies of Old Abe's proclamation of last De
pember, ? raming an amnesty to every rebel
who would lay down hiAirms, and return to
the embrace of the best government the
world ever saw. . Crowds of Yanks mounted
|.the breastworks te see the effect of the dis
covery, whereupon corboys placed themselves
in full view oTthe enemy, and bj a "gyra
tion" of thc thumb on the* nose, with the
digits manipulating rapidly, gave the invaders
to understand that they would see Old Abe
d-d first.

" Our forces met the enemy uear Winchester
Sunday afternoon. Breckiuridge'd and Gor
don's divisions wcro chiefly engaged. The
former led our line of skirmishers. The ene

pursued them to Bunker Rill, twelve miles
below Winchester, and captured from fifteen
hundred to two thousand prisouors. The en
emy burnt their wagons and threw their guns
and knapsack*: away, lt was a worse stam
pede and rout than the first Manassas. Thc
victory was complete. Prisonors are still
coming in. Our loss in killed aud wounded
was not more than fifty or sixty. Only ten
or fifteen were killed. The fcrco of the enemy
I was estimated at sixteen thousand."
RICHMOND, July 2:).
A special dispatch to the Whig dated* at
Petersburg to day.-^sys : The enemy shelled
the city with great vigor this .morning fur

Eitwoen four and five o'clock this mprn

A FIENDISH OUT IAGE-A. correspondent
of the Atlanta Appeal narrates the aui:txed
fiendish outrage : .
A body of Yankees went to the residence
of Slr. William Iversou, who hvea'about six
teen miles north of Decatur. Ga,, on last Sat
urday, aud after destroyiug his e'll'ects to their
hearts courent, laid hands on bis daughter,
nbout sixteen years of age, and bj force, oue
after' another, satisfying their hellish, lust.
Her father attempted to take her from them.
They thcu le?in on him with clubs, which
soon di.ss.blcd the old man, and he has not
been able to turn himself since, and in all
probability will die of -his injuries.** This
beautiful "and virtuous, young lady expired,
before they left. Thc Yankees came back
next morning|aud dug a hole .near the well
in the yard and put the corpse in and cov
ered it. . f

A BKAVK WOMAN.-The special army cor
.espondeut of the Memphis Appeal tells the
bllowing good story ?fa Teuneflsee matron'*
coolness under lire:
The occupauts of Craven's house are most
ly females, and, although the place has been
persistently ah el led since tba Federals open
:d fire, and from ten to fifteen project ilea
have passed through the premises, the ladies
bave determined nut to budge an iuch; ' and
rou know the couplet,
When a woman will, she will, dopen?i oa't,
Kud when sho won't she won't, and that's tho
end on'c.
In this case " she won't." A few days ago
?vkile tho shelling was the -heaviest, and our
men wore " skedaddling'' across the line of
tire as-industriously as their locomotive ap
paratus would permit, the ladies were coolly
preparing for dinner. One of the surgeons
who was iu the house, says that while be was
there a fragment penetrated one of the rooms.
Without being in th? least disconcerted, the
Tennessee matron spoke ^up iu a tone very
much like that in which she would reprove a
servant for breaking a china plate, " Elizi,
?o in there and see what's damaged this
time."
09* Two soldiors of Grant's army were h9*;?
sd recently for committing a rape on a reffteets*
ble married lady in Prince George county. A
Yankee correspondent gives the names of thora
ruffians as R. S. Gordon and D. Geary. This is
erne instance only in which the brutal Yankee:
soldiery have expiated their heinous otTeuees with
their lives.

recent r<iilroad catastrophe at Lackawaien Sta

Didiers of tho 11th regiment, reserve corps,
