bama, who was killed at Bull Run, which was taken from his pocket by a member of the New York 71st Regiment. His name was G. T. Anderson, and we learn from his posthumous record that on the 29th of April, with his brother Stephen, he "left home with a company of volunteers." He describes the parting with home, family and friends, and admits that he "hated to leave most awfully;" but justifies himself by stating that his country was in danger. He mentions all that transpired next day at Dalton, Ga., and tells us that the regiment to which his company was attached elected E. J. Jones, of Huntsville, Colonel, and E. M. Law, Lieutenant Colonel. May 5, he "woke up in Jones-borough, Tennessee, about sunrise, saw lots of beautiful women, received a bouquet from a very nice girl, with a soul-stirring inscription fastened to it." This incident reminded him of home, and his sister Pauline, concerning whom he has much to say. May 8, he "wrote home for the seventh or eighth time, and was

That this is a specimen of the high, and often religious, tone of our noble defenders, we do not expect Black Republicans to credit, because vile natures cannot believe in virtue.

He has passed through Lynchburg, and in due time reaches Harper's Ferry. Here is his account of his first Sabbath at the Ferry. "Sunday, May 19--What a cold day for the 19th of May; everybody is acting as if it were Monday; all firing guns; cooking, playing cards, &c.; had a dress parade, Colonel Jackson ins from home and the "prospect of a fight," and the recovery of Stephen, he becomes more cheerful. June 19--Received a box of cake and a pistol from home, with more letters; glad to get them at any time. The regiment is withdrawn from Harper's Ferry. What follows will help to show at what time the reinforcements reached Manassas Junction.

ail bag for a Connecticut regiment was found at Fairfax Court-House. --The Whig says that all these letters have been examined, and in the whole lot there were not more than half a dozen which were not too vulgar and obscene for publication. This statement is confirmed by an English gentleman who was permitted to examine the letters, and who informs us that it is impossible for those who have not read them to form any adequate conception of their beastliness and depravity. Well did Mr. Jefferson pronounce great cities great sores upon the body politic. The bloated wealth which the North has wrong from Southern commerce has entailed curses, compared with which the lowest ills of poverty are blessings. An aristocracy made up chiefly of illiterate and vicious men, who have acquired wealth suddenly by unscrupulous arts of money-getting, and a working class whose lives are passed in crowded factories or in other occupations in cities which are favorable to anything but moral advanc
