At an early hour she got up and commenced praying that she might . die, and continued her prayers for nearly three-quarters of an hour, when she fell to the floor dead.

Uncles, a carefully educated young colored man, will be ordained by Cardinal Gibbons this week-to the Catholic priesthood. The attendant ceremonies will be celebrated in Boston, and the occasion t will, it is declared, gain special moment from the fact that this will be the first ordi nation in this country of a colord man to orders in the Roman Catholic Church.

Beauregard as be.en assigned to the consolidated De artment formerly commanded by Gen. ood and Lt. Taylor. and now the States of iorgia, Alabama, Mississippi, East Louis ani'and Tennessee are under the sole com aand of General Beauregard. The Presi lent has done well in this matter-he has elected an able and popular general to ommand the armies, and has restored con Ldence to the people and army. Gen. Har. ee has been assigned to the command of, arleston. In Virginia, the two armies of e Confederacy boldly confront the enemy, ,d despite late reverses, will yet restore ictory to our arms. Gen.Early has turned pon Sheridan and is marching down the alley. In the South West the enemy are eported to have advanced to within a short istance of Saltville, and our forces are be eved to be amply sufficient to merit them. round Richmond Grant se-saws across the ames River, first threatening our lines on e North side and next by the "left flank," tretching out towards the South side Rail >ad.

A calm, holy quiet pervades all nature to a;1. were itnot for the occasional detoria ot of a ntalicious Parrott on Morris Island, maching a fell messenger of destruction tyward, one might 'alnost imagine that ohny e'a .lad lovingly spread her wel me wings over our beautiful harbor as in saysAuidTing Synle.". TO-day's Courier ublishes e .letter from onr talented Vice 'eIet, replete with sound. views, and till more-gratifying from its-biing entirely eientan Qat tonah of bitterness, and un nany. in'veeive dixihist present is too uch the order of the day. I have never 'onceived that a 'ow, -ecurrilous, style to rrds our enemies was in'any wise calcu ated.to soften the already sufficiently in es hatred and asperity existing between he two sections of the defunct Union. I lo not believe the road to peace exists in ,reposteroush'ying, or vain and conceited ibels of our really-arrogant enemies. We )f the "Sunny South' are undoubtedly a reat people; but it is at least within the nge of human probability that we are not, ni point of fact, the exception in point of altra perfection to every other race and rb of the "genus homo." We talk of fight .ng this war out to the "bitter end," unto icmplete annihilation even, before rehin juishing one iota of our. just and proper ams. Excellent, indeed very landable in .tself, but it is scarcely to be hoped that the sorth-urged and goaded on by the worst d most fanatical of human passions as ie is, will ever cease a fierce prosecution of .he war so long as Northerners, more espe hially the genus yclept "Yankhees," arc be rated as something less than human, as in leed but very denmons in the form of men. 'his is an age when' hurmin reason, shorn f all vulgar, ignoiant prejudices, should bold and exercise unlimited sway. Let us ght on-well and good, we can do no less having once thrown down the gauntlet, but may it not be as well to pause betimies, survey our position soberly and candidly, nd seek by every honorable and rational ethod to terminate this interminable strife, which if prosecuted to the "bitter end" can only result in ultimate bankruptcy and total ruin ? It must be perfectly illus trated to the North, taking the history of the war to the present moment as a guide and standard, that the South cannot be starved into submission. Can she be con quered by mere brute force ? I trow not ! 'he capacities of resistance of any intellh gent, brave, and resolute people are simply inexhaustible. There is no such thing as being driven to, the "last ditch," and I be ieve the moment is as equally remote when we will ever succumb through the sheer ne essities of hunger. In this latter respect Nature, bountiful Dame that she is. has en dowed "Dixie" with wonderful resources. Moreover our territory of strictly South ern proclivities is, in point of fact, so boundless that we will always have roomn to fight our battles, if, in the future, they hap pen to be conducted on a still more gigan tic scale than heretofore. It is, however, an all-potent and truthful fact, that this war had its origin in a bigoted sectional preju dice on the one hand, and a false and shal low-minded philanthropy on the other. Separated by four years of terrific warfare, it would seem imapossible to heal the crim son breach; or that more pacific relations houl e.,2r exs betweean the two sections, Official Returns of the El 1864.

Therefore every effort at recoi cihation is not only laudable in itself, bi is indeed most praiseworthy and Christiai like inAhO fullest-sense. I doubt if LEE, ( BEAUEGARD, or HooD, or indeedany-or a our military leaders, will ever terminal this .unhappy strife. Our differences w not, however, so irreconcilable that all -di: sension may not --be speedily remove< when placed in the hands of such men , on. A. H. STEPRENS, and others of a sim ar stamp. I am not in the fault-finding mood t day, although I wish information upon certain point--to wit: How is it that v are not paid regularly every two muntl agreeably to the General order published i due form on dress parade some time ago We have only been paid once since last Jai nary, and then only for four months. Man men in service here-and I presume il; generally the case elsewhere-have the wives and families at home depending to great extent upon their monthly pittant for support. In 'fact, I have seen seven private letters complaining bitterly of dei itution; the Government being at the sa= time indebted to those same soldiers fou: six, and even eight months pay. Of couri it is beneath the dignity of, those very eli gant gentlemen holding sinecures .und< government,-whose business it is to atten to financial matters, to bestow a secon thought upon a subject so utterly vulgar an foreign to their fastidious sensibilities as soldier's pay; however, - I can assure th public that this is indeed a matter of viti mportance- to the Private, and -as suc hould be attended to with regularity an punctuality. Apropos of this subject onfess myself to be grievously disappoin ed in the management of our financii matters, as exhibited by th:t very intell gent and talented gentleman, Mr. Trez holm. It looks extremely suspicious, to sa the leas, to find our-currency becoinin ach day more and niore. depreciated. onfes.thalt rsanguinely anticipated quil diferent results upon the retirement of M emminger from the ,onerous positio which he so long endeavored to adorn. Ai e to acknowledge an actual searcity of th ecessaries of life, or do we patronize blocl ade r'unning too extensively for our pect niary welfare ? Does any one place any it trinsic value upon a Cotnfederate dolla: solo ? Pausing for a reols- I beg pardo for handling the subject absolutely withoi gloves. It may be beyond the reach of eve Mr. Trenholmx's profound sagacity to resue eet a defunct currency. Will he then has the kindness to make his official congje, an allow an admiring public to test the eapa ity of -another "right man in-the rigi place ?" Will Petersburg hold out until at ter tb election in the North? Will Geni. Hoc succeed in his grand flank mnovemient o Sbermans rear ? It is peculiarly gratifyin to remember that "Jack Frost" will soo make his welcomead vent. What can Mlur chausen Grant's hirelings effect in front< Petersburg, where their dastard limbs ax cramped by rain and cold, and that glor ous auxiliary-mu ? From specimens Yankee soldiery recently arrived here frox ndersonville, Ga., 1 should say th: rnt's present expedition to Richmond n Petersburg is, to a lamentable extent, th ursuit of knowledge under difficulties udging, I say, from those specimens r< eived here, I can readily understand ho a mere handful of brave and resolate me are able to keep a host at bay, and bid thei perpetual defiance. I blush to con fess th: some few of those "things" have been r< eived in our regiment as recruits. Go save the mark ! There is something si premely absurd in the spectacle presente of Northern fanatics hounding oni this mox grel crew, in their pet, scheme of subjuga ing the South ! Until now I falsely liatte ed my vanity that we were at least warrx with native-born Americans; how mortif; lug then to discover that Lincoln's army: iterally composed of the very scum of Ei rope, the dregs and refuse of her paulp and beggarly population. There is reall nothing grand or nobl. in such a strife; would be, in effect, utte~rly farcical were not for the terribly tragical consequenci following in its inexorable train. Yet ever and anon, as my pen traces thei lines, methinks I hear an universal sig from myriads of torn and bleeding heart whose daily wish and only prayers are f< peace, and the return of the loved onesi their homes and hearths again. How mar brave men who erstwhile left those homi in the springtinme of life, bouyant, blith nd gay, are now laid low on von ensa guined plain, their once bounding heax forever still, their cheelful voices hushedj the eternal- cilence of death! How ont blood chills when we retrospect the wid spread desolation and ruin following in ti wake of this inglorious and.fratricidal wai Will man ever be guided by Reason's g nial sway ? the mild teachings of a pnlilc ophy beyond human wisdom. Will an uI versal love, a genial brotherhood of feelii ever gain the undisputed sway over o present unhappy frailties and vain pr sions?

C., L- March 9th, 1812; and on.the 31st July, 1832, r was married to Miss Margaret E. Burgess, U of the same district, and from thence they, ,e with their family, removed to Tippah coun e ty, Miss., in 1858. Onthe breaking out of the war in '61, his decided snA unyielding Southern principles elicited the fierce op . position of our enemies, and hence he was i- dragged away from his family on the 11th December, 1862, and imprisoned in Bolivar, Tenn., where by the cruel treatment of his a unfeeling foes -he died on the 27th Feb.. e 1863. He had long been a professor of s religion, and a member of the M. E. Church, 1 South, and his life was a lving comment ? on the pure and blessed principles of the Christian religion. An upright mind y could hardly know the man without loving s him; for the elevatod principles which r reigned within, seemed almost unconscious a ly and unaffectedly to shine forth in his ac e tions, looks, and .tone of voice. Thank LI God, the gloomy walls of a prison, and the ;- cruel treatment of vulgar, profane enemies e could not dim the-celestial light by which , he walked "through tribulations deep." A e neighbor who was imprisoned with him. - and who witnessed his severe trials and r sufferings, says: "He could bear'more than a anyone l ever saw." He is now beyond the d reach of enemies; but deep is the wound d which is inflicted on those loved ones who a are left to mourn their irreparable loss. e -, SeptAI.' * M. J.

Buchanan's company, 72d Miss. Regiment, April 25th, 1861. He1 a was a participant in the 1st battle of Manas e ses, and in nearly all the subsequent great e battles in Va., and nobly did he act his part -as a soldier.

A good way for the taxpayer who. as much property to return, is to ake a memor'andum of the number f horses, cattle, mules, sheep and ats, hogs, watches, organs and pi cos, buggies, wagons and carrmages, ogs. merchandise, machire ry. mon he taxpayer time, and enable the as essor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on he irst'day of January, 1892. Assessors and taxpayers will enter he first given name of the taxpayer full, also make a separate return >r each party for the township the roperty is in, and whe~re the taxpay r ons realty to insert the postoffice s their place of re' denee, ard those rho only own pe.:sonal property to ive the party's name who owns the m they live on as their 'residence, rhich aids the taxpayer as well as the ounty treasurer in mnaking the col st ion and preventing erros.: Every male citizen between the ages twety-one and fifty years on the rt day of January, 1892, except hose incapable of earning a support rom being maimed, or from other auses, shall be deemed tzxable polls. All returns that are re:de after the wentieth day of February next~have o be placed on the additional list and fty per cent. penalty added thereto, nless prevented by sickness or out ,f the county during the time of list ag. Not knowing the time of listing sno excuse. And all owners of real state might do their tenants, who annot read or take a newspaper, a reat favor by making their returns r telling them the time of l'sting, ,nd that if they fail to make their re u ns in time that the valuation has o be increased fifty per cent. unless hey have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of tax s is all done now in the same year, ,nd we have to aggregate the number ,nd value of all the horses, cattle, ules, &c., as well as the acres of and, lots, and buildings, and their val Le, that there is in the counity, and rave same on file in the Comptroller *enera~ls office by the thirtieth day f June e.ach year. And from that ime to the first day or October each ear the auditor's and treasurer's du >icate has to be completed and an bstract of the work in the Comp roller's office by that time, which vill show at a glance that the audit >r has no time to take in returns, or Lo anything else, much, between the irst day of March and the first day f October each year, but wyork on the >Ooks and blanks. Therefore I hope ha all taxpayers wil~l do us the favor >f making their returns in time. .J.
