The "rebel's" last Request.

--The following extract was taken from a Northern paper of a late date:

‘ In passing over the battle-field of Missionary Ridge our correspondent noticed a rebel soldier badly wounded, and, being touched with pity at his sufferings, asked the dying man if there was anything he could do for him. The rebel replied, "Thank you, friend; there is nothing, unless you have such a thing as a gold dollar about you. I should like to see one again before I die!"
