Thoughts Suggested by the Dying Ye?
Thou spirit of the past ?
The bright, the beautiful, the blissful past,
I invoko thy aid ! Oh . bring back to me
Tho glorious joys of other, fairer days,
Whon all was pence; when our sweet sunny Soi
Used but the plough-share, not the glittcri
sword,
To dye its sward. . Give hut the few short hon
The hour-glass wastes its sands ere yet it turn:
And trembling, takes them up to waste again,
That I may reach to fair Parnassian heights
And drink tho waters from Caslalia'a spring ;
Oh ! may the pulses of my wearied heart
Regain their vigour for a little while,
To sing tho dying year. And though it bo
A mournful song-thc gift of Poesy,
Oh give it usc ! .
In days long gone,
Whoa in my happy home a little band,
That called me mother, were my daily care;
Though parsing clouds, though varied light li
shade,
Life's sure kaleidoscope, were minc to brook ;
Yet Heav.cn in-if? mercy toned the blast
To suit my strength. Then did my heart expai
In love to Him-in love to all things puso,
And beautiful, and bright. Tho lovely Spring,
The fruitful Summer-teeming Autumn time,
And hoary Wintor, crowncd^with icy spears.
Kow nature mourns,-mankind in unison
Wears sabio robes.
A requiem comes, borne en each passing breer
Wailing thc "loved and lost." Thc "Wilderness;
And grand old woods, from tho Potomac's shon
To where tho golden sands begirt the gulf,
. Fringed with the fruited orange and thc lime,
Pour forth a diapason fer the dead.
Some brother dear, some braTO aad.honored sir
Or tho loved husban? from tho fond wife torc;
The noble youth o'er whose high brow had gleam?
Tho bow of promise ; and the man maturo
Ia years, and crowned with honors, ar. .' ho
Whose humble home was all iu all to kim.
. 3iy bleeding country .'
Sad is my heart, and sadder still the gloom
That dims thy beauty! Even a? th* Qnptite,
The preeious eon frcm hie fond parent? torn,
Eowails his home-pines for the cheering smile
The tender care of friends-? mourn o'er thee.
.Oh GsdT of hosts ! Oh Thou ! who rulest th
?"term,
"Who ridest on the winds, whose name is Writ
In characters of fire upon thc skies,
Thou God of battles, bear us! Ere yot
December wraps his throud round his gaun
limbs, ? -.
And this year's cycle be among the past,
Oh may the carnage er.d-and Liberty
Her proud front rear,-and thc- fair dove of Poacc
Unfurl its brooding wings, and hover near!
Oh.1 set thc Onptivc free, that he may turn
Homeward his footstep's ; the_ toil-worn Soldier

Thc boon of ii-codoin and thc peace of berne !

Capt. Pickens Butler.
A correspondent of a Yankeo paper gives
the following graphic account of the capture
of Capt. Butler, of Gen. Dunnovant's staff,
which occured neus Pclfersburg some two
months since :.
Ax ADVENTO as.-Captain Butler was cap
tared night before hst, and I intended lo
speak of it in my last despatch, .as it is con
sidere! one of the neatest things that has oc
curred. Upon the night in question General
Davies was ordered to open communication
with the infantry ou the right of un. . The
night was exceedingly dark, and tho roads
passed through thick woods, and strange to
all. To make the matter certain General
Davies concluded to go himself.. He there
fore took with *him the First New Jer
sey, mounted, with a portion of thc Sixth Ohio
regiment, under command of Captain Aus'in,
dismounted, as an advance guard. They liad
proceeded some four miles when they discov
ered parties approaching. Captain Austin,
suspecting them to bc reba, cried "Halt!"'
Who comes there" ,: Frieuds,'' was the.reply.
" Dismount, one of you, ?.nd advance alone/'
? Upon this, one of the party approached, when
Captin Austin asked him who he was sind
what he belonged to ''Captain Butler, of
Gen. Donnovau's/' he replied. No sooner
were the words spoken than Captain Austin
seized him by tho throat and threw him to
the ground, preventing his giving an alarm,
as General Donovan's whole brigade was
within a few yards of them. He then sent
a portion of hi? force" through tho woods,
. making a detour, and coming upon the flank
of the enemy in the road, when they poured
a volley into them, scattering them in' the
wildest confusion in hi! directtens;- Captain
Butler \9 now in our hands-a victim of mis
placed confidence.
Gen;ral Davies and ?tnff were ail yesterday
here exposed to the enemy than any of the
troops, as they did not have the benefit of
breastworks. The General had a favorite
horse shot from under him, which is the sixth
or seventh that he has lost ia the same way.
He lought his brigade in a manner yes'erday
to win the admiration and confidence of all.
He was particularly fortunata in having a
staff capable of comprehending and carrying
. out his orders. . His assistant adjutant gene
ral. Captain Fred.Tremaine, of Albany, ar
rived from a furlough just ns thc engagement
commenced.
Captain W. R. Robbins, of the staff, was
very efficient in getting the troops int? posi
tion and conducting the fight, Eis boreo
was shot carly in the engagement.
Lieutenants Reynolds and Brown are a?so
. deserving of notice. The latter also lost bis
horse. ' *
Rebel prisoners captured during the en
gagement report that the r*bel GencTal But
ler, commanding a brigade of South Carolina
troops, was killed during the action. Wheth
er there is any truth in the rumor I am una
ble to tell. . '

A GOOD WISH.-Not long since, a jolly
son of thc Emerald Isle, who had just re
ceived intoJliRvuco of the safety of fen* ef isis
two. sons m tit? service, faun whom bc had
not-h*ard,f r many weeks, celebrated his joy
at the event by indulging in wltat i? Ytil?rar

Retaliation by Colonel Mosby.
The following letter, written to General
Sheridan by Colonel Siosby, will show that
thc murder of our men by the Yankee caval
ry in the Valley hes not gone unavenged. It
is brief and to the point, and worthy of the
Writer :.
NOVGMHER.11, 1864.
" Major-General P. H. Sheridan, command
ing United States Forces in the Valley.
, "GEX?IUL: Sometime in tho month of Sep
tember, during my absence irora my com
mand, six.of my men, who had been-captur
ed by your forces, were hung and shot in thc
streets of Front Royal, by the. orderj and in
the immediate presence, of Brigadier-Gene
ral Ouster. Since then, another (captured
by a Colonel Powell, on a - plundering expe
dition into Rappabanuock) shared a similar
fate. A label, affixed to the coat of one of
the" murdered men, declared 'that this would
be the fate of Mosby and all his men.'
~u Since the murder of my men, not less
than seven hundred prisoners, including many
officers of '?high rank, captured from your
army by this command, have been forwarded
to Richmond: hut the execution of my pur
pose of retaliation was deferred, in order, as
far as possible, tc confine its operation ?o th?
men of Custer and Powell. Accordingly, on
the Cth instant, r-cven of yonr men w-.'J, hy
my order, executed on the Valley pike, your
highway of travel.
41 Hereafter any prisoners falling into my
hands will ho treated with the kindness due
to their condition, unless some new act of
barbarity shall, compel me, reluctantly, to
adopt a lino of policy repugnant to 'human
I ity. Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant,
" JOHN S. MOSBY, Lieutenant-Colonel."
TUF. LATE SENATOR HAMMOND.-James
Hamilton Hammond, ex-Governor of the State
of South Carolina, died at his residence nea.
Hamburg, in that State, Sunday, the 13th
inst. He waa born in Newberry, S. C., No
vembcr 15, 1607. and was consequently with
in two days of 57 years of age. He gradua
ted at South Carobna College, studied law,
and was admitted to the bar in. 1828. In
1830, he became editor of a pSitical journal
at tbe capital of his State, in which he sus
tained with zeal and ability the doctrine of
State rights, and advocated nullification as a
remedy against oppressivo acts of. Federal
legislation. He, became a member of the
military family of Governor Hamilton, and
subsequently of Governor Ilayiie, and in the
exciting controversies and events of that
memorable and prophetic era bore a conspi
cuous part. In 1S35, after thc pacification,
he was elected a member of rho United States
House of Represes?atives. At thc end of his
term, he voluntarily retired from that service
and visited Europe, wbero he remained more
than a year. In 1842, ho was elected Gov
ernor of the Stttfo of South Carolina. While
Governor of thc State he published a letter
to the Fr e Church of Glasgow, and two oth
ers, in reply to an anti-slavery circular of
Thos. Claftson, the English Abolitionist, in
which he set forth the sanctions, the utility,
and the heneScence of slavery, wi h a clear
ness of statement, an opulence of authority
and illustration, and a cogency of reasoning,
never surpassed in any of the numberless es
says and dissertations on ibis subject. These
letters nrc models of styl.?, and thoroughly
exhaust the subject they discuss. A number
of his discourses and treatises on other pubjic
attestions remain, as proofs pf a noble intel
?cl'?ud nn pularced couivc of reading andi
observation. In 1857, he was elected to the
Senate of the United States to fill vacancy
occasioned by the death cf Senator A. P. But
ler. "W hile there, be made a speech of great
power and eloqueuce on the subjects that theu
agitated and portly after separated tho two
sections of tho Union. Since the ontbrcr.k
of hostilities, bc bes remained qnietlyat heine,

until declining health withdrew him from ac

AGENCY FOR SOOTH CAROLINA Tnoors, \
Richmond, V?., November 17, 1SG4. j
After conference with Col. Ould, onr Cefn
mtssioner-ot Exchange, I deem it proper to
make the following statcmenafor the bcr.f fit
of-tbe public :
Arrangements have been made with the
United States Government to furnish our
prisoner? with food andelovhing. This will
be in addition .to rations now allowed by
that Govcrnmtnt. Cotton is jiowl e:n?- ship
ped North for the purchase of these supplies.
This arrangement should not interfere wifh
thc forwarding of boxes of tobacco, clothing
and other supplies, as heretofore. They maj
be shipped to this point or to Savannah, Ga.
The freight beyond our lines will be paid by
our Government, so that #in futuro no money
will be required forourprbouersfor this par

Is the Servant Greater, than thc Master ! j
This question, first propounded by him j
who spakVa3 men never .?pake before, might ?
with a great deal of propriety "he addressed
to our clannish dark lantern Congrers - Near
ly, if not quito half, of its scssious, are thus
spent, and wbca we consider that tho mut
touheads who compose it are nothing moro
than the agents of an 'enlightened, intelli
gent and free people, it is a matter of aston
ishment that they should presume so far upon
their superior consequence as to shut the
doors o? tho capital, and thus in secret legis
late in reference to the affairs of a constituen
cy who cannot bo trusted with a knowledge
. of the disposition of their own business.
This custom has prevailed long enough*
! and we should protest against it in future,
j As citizens we do not pray for it as a priv
I Hage, but demand it is a right. The huni
? blest-citizen in the government has aa much
[,interest at stake as any thember of Congrc?s,
1 has a right that is undeniable to the - fullest
; degree of information in reference- to the con
duct of his public scrvaut. We bavo no doubt
; but members oftbat body have forgotten who
: they are. Instead of the servants they brr
gin to consider themselves the ajasteis of ibo
people.
This false conception is'.tbs. result of the
same ignorance and weakness that has char
acterized so ninny of thc actions ol' cur Na
tional Legislature. Lr-t us thunder for ad
mission nt the door* of tho capitol dnrin/r

right to ?hut themselves np there than tho

RICHMOND, November 21.-Nothing of in
terest in the Senate to-day. Adjourned till
Monday. .
In the House,. Mr. Lyon reported from the
Committee of Ways and Means a bill to pro
vide more effectually for the reduction and
redemption of the currency; which was made
. the special order for Tuesday next. Mr. J.
I T. Leach, of North Carolina, submitted a
j series of peace resolutions; the last declaring
that whenever the United Statis Govern
ment signifies its willingness to recognize the
reserved rights of the States, and guarantees
tbe citizens of the States tho right of propur
ty as provided in the Constitution and laws
of the United States, we will a?;ree to treat
for peace, and on such terms as may be agreed
to by commissioners appointed by the res
pective Governments, or by the States act
ing in their sovereign and independent char
acter, and ratified by a majority of the peo
ple, shall constitute the bond of peace, bc-,
tween the North and South. Only three vote s
fer the resolutions, all from North Carolina.
An amusing and, at the same time, satis
factory incident occurred in front of Wright's
brigade, just to the left of the Weldon Kail
road, on Saturday morning, aa hour or two
before day. A report was brought in thst
the enemy was advancing at that point, and
the men were called to arms at once. Thc
pickets were on the alert, and soon heard a
noise in front, as of advancing force*. . A
sbaip volley of musketry was discharged at
j the supposed foe, wheu a sudden rush was.
I heard, and forward through the lines charg
! ed in .wilddisorder forty-two fine beeves
until that moment Yankee properly. . Thoy
had evidently strayed or deserted from the
Yankee herd, or p?rliaps came in search of
thcEC recently captured 'by Gen. Hampton
on the banks of -the James. They got lost
on the way, and were wandering between tho
two armies, coming in the directiou of Peters
burg, when they were discovered by our nick
?vV Thesuddendischarge of musketry in
.their front, and the* probable wonijoling of
one ov twp, frightened tlie creatures, and
caused i hem to dash forward. This is tbc
first inst-.nee on record, of a charge by cattle
on linea-defended by armed men.*nnd in the
face of a rapid musketry fire. We understand
they carno in'good line of battle, 'and wore
not gathered up until they bad passed to the
rear. They are remarkably fine beeven. und
the-incid?nt caused groa* amusement in camp.

' Tt'MBi.K?.s CHEAT*.-The following cheap
and-expeditious method of obtaining theso
articles commends itself for trial. Thc glass
ware *o obtained, though not equal to cut
glass, will yet come in well to supply a much
ueeded and very scares article of domestic
economy. Wc clip it from the Advertiser
ami Register :
. Lsaw " minclioat," Dr. T-, doing somo
thiug hst evening that was new. to me. Crock
cry aud.glassware.of the ordinary kind being
well nigh obsolete in thc Confederacy, and
especially at Tangipahoa, ' the doctor was
simply manufacturing bis own glassware. As
tho process is choap, easy, simple, and worthy
of imitation, I will describe it. Take a claret
bottle, or any kind of a glass botlle-bqUles
of thin white glass with flit bottoms are? the
best; hold the bottle firmly by both tend?; let
another person, having a cup of water ready,
pafs ?. stout cotton cord twice around the
bottle, aud create i friction by pulling the
ends of tE'e cord io and fro rapidly for-a min
ute or so ; then Ul him jerk the cord ol?', d-ish
the water on quickly, and, presto 1 you hold
in one hand as serviceable a tumbler or gob
let as you nted wish, and in the other a neat
but not gandy glass candlestick! The bottle
should be held with a strap,'piece ol' rtoithor,
or other substance with a hard straight edge,
li rm ly .aru und it at the intcuded point of se
verance, in order to [econ the cord in one
phtfcc duri/ig the friction, and to secure
straight and smooth edges to the glassware.
Old bottles can be put to goori use in this
way. I. G.
