What utter woe, despair and death,
Their fate has brought to many a hearth.
[This chaste memorial, of a historical corps, at the hand of an honored ex-commander, can but be inspirative to exalted patriotism. The exemplification of Captain Courtenay, as soldier and citizen, commends itself to the emulation of all. His career of comprehensive usefulness, has been most admirably progressive and providential, in the interest alike of general enlightenment and material prosperity.—Editor.]
