Funeral Besot. --The body of the lamented Col. Fisher, of the 6th Regiment of North Carolina State troops, was escorted yesterday evening by the larger portion of the 4th Regiment from the same State, from the Central depot to the Petersburg depot, on route for home. Col. Fisher was shot through the head and instantly killed, while leading his men in the memorable battle, near Manassas, last Sunday. The grief of his men at the loss of their gallant chief, was deep and universal. It has hardly been a week since the lamented officer passed through the streets of our city at the head of his regiment, a splendid brass band discoursing the while the song of anticipated victory. It came, but the song of triumph is hushed, for victory was bought by the death of many a brave and true man. Col. Fisher was enlisted heart and soul in the cause of Southern independence. He had used his means unsparingly in the equipment of the splendid regiment that he led so gloriously to battle in def

She has the greatest quantity of artillery pieces and an abundant supply of cannon powder. Tennessee and Western Virginia and North Carolina, can furnish any number of horses, and the South could in one month make herself more formidable in artillery and cavalry than any power that ever sent an army into the field. There will doubtless be ordered out an immense increase of oun army into the field. There will doubtless be ordered out an immense increase of our fighting force. Very large numbers of infantry regiments are thronging every railroad leading up from the South. While the Gulf States are thus furnishing such ample numbers of infantry, the extraordinary facilities afforded by Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina for cavalry and flying artillery, ought not to be neglected.--The subject is worthy of the serious and prompt attention of our Government.
