eeble justice to one to whom all honor is due. While each day that passes away on the underlaying pinions of Time shrouds our country in mourning for cherished sons, victims to the leaden bullet or the virus of disease, our hearts are brought to lament the fall of none more patriotic and gallant than 2d Senior Lieutenant Wm. H. Gregory, co. K, 23d regiment Virginia volunteers, who fell mortally wounded in the late severe battle near McDowell. Young, brave, and talented, the future was full of promise. Ever zealous in the cause of freedom and justice, when the dark clouds of war hovered over our fair land he was among the first to step forth in her defence. Having endured with Spartan firmness and cheerfulness the dangers and privations of a twelve-months' campaign in Western Virginia, he at last laid down his life upon the altar of Liberty, a worthy sacrifice in a glorious cause. When borne from the field his dying words were, "Tell my father I died doing my best." Ajays.

bited bitter and somewhat laughable ill-humor." The last visit of old "Fuss and Feathers" to Paris was almost as unsatisfactory as the first. The battle of Manassas had not added to his laurels, and the gorgeous old turkey cock came back with drooping feathers to renew his vainglorious gabbling among those who imagine him to be an eagle. We observe that, he is now spreading his feather in New Jersey, and disporting himself in grand style over the imagined successes on the Peninsula. He chuckles hugely over McClellan's bulletins, and exclaims, "Didn't I tell you so?" It is thus that one humbug exults in the success of another. With the exception of Brandreth's pills, wooden nutmegs, and Wingfield Scott, McClellan is the greatest humbug extant. His only triumph — in Western Virginia.--was gained by nine thousand over fifteen hundred men, and he has ever since (nearly a year) been employed in his "On to Richmond." "Didn't I tell you so?" quoth old Scott. A young Napoleon!
