"V Soldier Wit.?Colonel , of the th Alabama Regiment, was famous for having everybody done up in military style. Once, while field officer of the day, and going his tonr of inspection, he came on a sentinel from the lltli Mississippi Regiment sitting flat down on his post, with his gun taken entirely to pieces^ when the following dialogue took place; . MI-on*t yon know that a sentinel, while on duty, should always keep on his feet?" Sentinel?(without looking up), "That's the "way we used to do when the war first began but that's played out long 'go." Colonel?(beginning to doubt if the man was on duty), "Are you the sentinel here?" Sentinel?Well, I'm a sort of a sentinel." Colonel?."Well, I'm a sort of an officer of tlic day." Sentinel?"Well, if you'll hold on till I sort 'of git ray gun together, I'll give you a sort of salute." Colonel off to hunt an easier case. OBITUARY. The following lines were penned by Lieut. C. B. Hums, commanding Company 4-D," 15th Regiments. C. V., to the father of the deceased, Mr. Michael Parker, of Kershaw District r Youn son, RKDIN PARBLKR, died at hospital, in Gordonsville, in Virginia, on the 29th of July last.? There is one thing I can say in trnth, for the gratification of the loved ones at home?the Confederacy had no better soldier under arras thau Redin was. I o everything respecting his duty as a soldier, he was willing and obedient?enduring all fatigue, hardships nnd exposute without murmuring. In time of battle ho was always sit his post, and never was known to shrink from any portion of danger. In fact, he was everything thafcould be desired, in these times, when we need good and true men. Thus has passed awsiy one that all loved for his many good qualities; and at the same time, let me assure you that we, as a company, deeply sympathise with you in this your time of trouble, and hope your loss mav be his gaiu.
