The Spirit of the " Rebels."-?Tho correspondent
of the New York Herald admits the
invincible spirit of our men in the following
paragraphs of his correspondence from the
Peninsula:
Of all the rebel soldiers we have seen today
hardly one of them recommended themselves
to our friendly consideration, although
we could but pity them in the hour of their
humiliation. There was tho supercilious curl
of the lip and the assertion of a power not

rebuked whatever feelings of sympathy, under
other circumstances, we might be betrayed into
expressing for them.
Even in the hour of sickness?aye, even
death?they prated of '* whipping" us; to the
last manifesting how deep-seated is the hatred
against us. Comparisons were made between
the loss on our side rfnd that of the rebels, always
ending in the assertion that we 44 had not
made much by the operation."
War to the death seemed to be the motto of
ally with but few exceptions.
. OBITUARY.
Lieut. John J. IHcKaln.
Among ihose who have consecrated their services
and lives to tho cause of our independence, and .sealed
the offering with blood, there is none who will bo remembered
by his friends with wormer feelings of love
and admiration than the gallant Lieutenant JOHN
JAMES McKAlN, of the Camden Volunteers?Capt.
j^enneay?za Kegtment s. O. v., in Virginia
Comparatively young in years, he espoused the
cause oi his State and section, and was most zealous
in promoting the initiatory steps towards the secession
and severance of South Carolina from an odious and
intolerable connexion with a government culled " the
United States."
When the nationality and sovereignty of South Carolina
was denied and scorned at Washington, and the
caution from our Commissioners sent to negotiate for
an acknowledgment?" to guard the harbor," in common
with most of our young and gallant spirits he
promptly eurolled his name for immediate service on
the coast, and was prominent in aiding the organization
of the Camden Volunteers; and when thai noble
company of brave young hearts was orderod to guard
the gates of the Queen City, with cheerful haste the
summons was obeyed; and alter the full of Sumter,
Capt. Kennedy's company was among the first, if not
the first from South Carolina, to volunteer practice service
in the "Old Dominion."
In all their services, whether in the field of instruction
or on the march, or in the scene of deadly strife,
when comes " the tug of war," our young friend displayed
those qualities which endeared him to his
* _: u:? 1 *1-- i ' ---?
II icuuo, auu lauaou muj muuugsii Hie UlilVCHt unu HOblest
defenders of bis home and birthright. He
passed through the fearful ordeals of Bull Run ami
Manassas, unscathed, and was permitted to enjoy several
reunions at home with friends and loved ones,
subsequent to that event.
In ail his relations to society he acted well his part,
and was noted for his energy and intelligence in business
matters and public enterprises.
The writer of this feeble tribute knew him well and
intimately, and loved him much, and can bear testimony
to his noble, manly character and generous dis
position.
It is not surprising that he should be among the
martyrs of our glorious cause, for like others of us,
we trust, he felt the sublime sentiment, that he would
u either see his country free, or shed his last drop of
blood to mako her so.1'
"Better the fire upon thee roll?
.Better the blade, the shot, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the soul."
On picket, we are told that he fell by the hand of
the assassin foe, who has dared to poluto our soil by
his unholy tread, whose "touch is at our temple door,"
and worse than the savage fiend, leaves desolation and
ruin in his track. But there is a day of retribution at
hand, when a just and Holy God will give us the victory
; when for every drop of patriot freeman's blood,
a thousand of the foes will be shed, or our independence
full and unequivocal will be acknowledged.
Bruised and bleeding hearts oan only be healed by the
kind hand of time and friendly sympathy. It is grateful.
however, to remember, even in our dennon*
m tion, that " earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot
he&l."
May He, who alone can heal, bind up the brokenhearted
ones who mourn a loved one gone. Noble,
generous and brave, we lament our brother's (loath,
but consoled by the thought, that " 'tis sweet to die
for one's country," at the poet of duty, defending her
social honor, like the undaunted patriot who dies,
" With his back to the field and his feet to tbo foe?
And leaving in battle no blot on his name,
Look proudly to Heaven from the death-bed (of fame."
