business was suspended. The bodies were received by a great concourse of citizens and six military companies just organized for the war, and escorted to Huntington Hall, which was draped in black. There funeral services were held, during which, the Rev. W. R. Clark, of the Methodist Church, preached an impressive sermon before the authorities of the city and the people ; All denominations engaged in the services. The Scriptures were read by the Rev. W. C.

ur line on the pike road, covering our flank by holding the enemy in check. This brigade went into the action numbering eight hundred and fifty-four, and lost, in killed, wounded, and missing, five hundred and sixty--over one half. We have to mourn the loss of Majors Dale, of the First Texas, and Dingle, of Hampton's legion, two gallant officers, who fell in the thickest of the fight.

But among all these there is no peer of HIampden, of him who came not from courts or camps, but from the tranquil study of his Davila,--from that thoughtful retirement which was for him, as for his model, Coligny, the school of all noble virtues,--came to find himself at once a statesman and a soldier, receiving from his contemporary, Clarendon, no affectionate critic, the triple c
