cial circle, which years can only solace, time cannot
heal Certain men are peculiar )y endowed with force
of character, genial feeling*, intellectual capacity and
buaiueaa tact. 8uch was my friend. With a lever
power of character unsurpassed, solid sterling and
forcible, he was imprafsiv.- and genial. He wa>- loud
of intellectual pursuit*, and was superior as a thinker
aud reader; Ina mind was c:ear, copious and well
stored; as a business man, he was prompt, energet c,
managing. His standing among commercial men was
exalted, and the influence w iiicli time and experien?.a
would have giveu him, cannot be estimated. 1 he
fruits of hi* industry are ample John J, WcKain had
a rare combination of dualities; nature mad# him of

At Fort Sumier, Bull Itun, Manassas Hnd Lewisville
he was cool and undaunted, exhibiting th'i-e high

regrets and anguished hearts testified our deep grief.
No attention was wanting or fond sympathy Jacking
to alleviate Ins sufferings or solace his s, irit. Death
claimed him as her own, and with stricken, bleeding
heurta wo gavo him up. As his pal id form pussud us,

devoted husband, fond father and loving brother, in
all the domestic relations of life he was a fleet innate
and attentive; aa a neighbor, obliging and kind ; as a
