Lines suggested upon the death of a child
of Wm. Leonard, Esq., of Smyth co., Va.
With drapery of richest gold,
Oid Sol had sought the rosy West,
While Twilight did her mantle fold,
To lull the weary earth to rest.
'Twas then a mournful group was seen
To sock the quiet churchyard sod,
And 'mid the twilight's soft'ning sheen,
There bowed the holy man of God.
And there was seen the open grave,
And by it weeping parents knelt;
He. only, who has power to save,
, Knew the deep anguish that they felt.
Their precious child—the budding flower-
Had wither'd in" the morning sun; ■
That bilttr icail in that sad hour,
O'e'r her, their gentlest, loveliest one.
Sweet Bettie! how her tender arms
Had twined about her mother's breast;
But now, secure from Death's alarms,
With Jesus she doth calmly rest!
She swells the ransom'd, blood-wash'd throng,
, One angel more in glory now,
Her harp sings out in joyous song,
A radiant crown adorns her brow.
Then why should tears forever flow?
She is not lost, but gone before,
She drinks no longer cup of wo,
But waits to greet you on that shore.
From tbe Lynchburg Republican.
m Captain JUtdrew E, Gibson.
Among the many noble spirits who have
sacrificed their lives in defence of the liber
ties of our infant Confederacy, not one was
more beloved and idolized, and the fall of no
one will be more sincerely lamented by nil to
whom he was known, than Captain Andrew
E. Gibson, who died on the 30th day of Au
gust, 1862, from a wound received, whilst gal
lantly discharging his duty in the- terrible
fight at Manassas on the evening of the 28th
of August. He volunteered in one of the
first companies raised in South-western Vir
ginia. He entered the service in April, 18G1,
as second Lieut, of the "Smyth Blues," com
posed of many of tho best young men of
Smyth County. His company belonged to
the celebrated "Stonewall Brigade." ..Upon
the promotion of the Captain of the Blues to
the office of Major, Lieut. Gibson was unani
mously elected Captain of the. Blues wiihout
opposition. lie participated' in all tho ex
peditions and battles in which Gen. Jackson's
division of the army was engaged, except
those below Richmond, being then at home
sick. It is not saying too much when the
writer assorts that there was no one in the
army more beloved than Capt. Gibson; and
by his men he was almost idolised.
as he was, (being in his 25th year,) he scorned
to sustain to his company more nearly tiie re
lation of father than commander.
The Surgeon of the 4th Va. Regiment in a
letter in relation to Captain Gibson, says :—
"It may be a comfort to his bereaved mother
and sister to know that he had not only es
tablished tho reputation for himself of a most
faithful, gallant and brave officer, but was
most highly beloved arid respected by ail who
knew him for his goodness of heart and kind
and polite bearing to all. His comrades in
arms feel that they and the country have lost
one of their best men. He has passed away
a martyr to freedom's cause, and his memory
will live to incite his remaining fellow sol
diers to deeds of valor similar to his own,"
Many extracts of similar import from his
brother officers might be given.
Captain Gibson had been a member of the
Church for a number of years.
A short time before his death, in a letter to
one to whom he sustained a peculiar relation,
he says: "I sometimes feel as if I should not
live through this war; should I fall, write to
my sister and tell her that though life for her
sake and my mother's üßdea* to me, still it is
not hard to give it up in such a noble and
glorious cause, and for it should I fall it will
be without regret; still it is.hard to die away
from them, but "there is one that sticketh
closer than a brother," and I know He will bo
there. Tell her it is hard to part, but to re
member that we separate only for a time: and
that in the great hereafter wo shall meet again
never more to parti*
Captain Gibson leaves a widowed mother,
a beloved sister and many devoted relatives
and friends to mourn his early fajl.
Operations in Western Virginia.
The Yankee papers say of the affairs in
Western Virginia:
Accounts from the Kanawha region state
that Gen. Cox has continued His advance.
The rebels had not injured tho salt works or
destroyed the stock on hand. There were
thirty inches water in the r>cr Sunday morn
ing, and as soon as slight obstructions could
be removed from the channel at one point,
boats, loaded with salt, would leave for the
Ohio river. Our informant states that the
rebels had eaten the country bare of provi
sions, and Jenkins' cavalry horses had con
sumed all thtf corn in the valley. Everything
in the stores that the rebels had any use for
was "purchased," payment being made in
Confederate scrip.

Death of a Brigadier General.
_ Brigadier General Allison Nelson, C. S. A.
died near Little Rock, Ark., on«thc 9th'ult'
He was formerly Mayor of Atlanta, Ga., and
for several years a member of the Georgia
Legi*!ftti:re. Ho served with distinction in
Latest from £2je Sorln.
"We have received, through the politeness
of Captain Oashincycr, a copy of the Phila
delphia Inquirer of the 6th inst. We append
a brief summary of the news which possesses
little interest:
In New York, Seymour is elected Governor
jby over 20.000 majority, and probably most
of the Congressional delegation are democrats.
Parker, democrat, is elected Governor of New
Jersey, and four of the five Congressmen are
of the same party. The Abolitionists have
carried Massachusetts, as a matter of course.
In Minnesota, tbe democrats gained one or
two members of Congress. Frank Blair has
been defeated by Knox, a "radical republi:
can." Michigan has probably gone for the
Abolitionists, Illinois for the Democrats, and
Wisconsin is claimed by both. Delaware
has elected a *Union" Governor.
The columns of Gen. McClellan are report
ed "moving," and a Yankee correspondent
says, "It cannot be long before there will be
| exciting news from the advance. If there be
not a battle soon it will be because the rebels
evade ffghling."
A late dispatch from headquarters says
that "Gen. McClellan spent most of this af
ternoon at t]ie top of Ashby's Gap, taking ob
servations of the Shenandoah Valley."
In a skirmish on the 4th, west of'Snider's
Gap, on the Shenandoah' river, the enemy ac
knowledge a loss of sin killed, and above
twenty wounded, but say "the Rebels were
driven across tbe river."
On the 3d and dth there was constant skir
mishing at a place called Philomont, and be
tween Union and Upperville, without any
other result, according to this doubtful au
thority, than "tbe enemy's retreating before
our cavalry and artillery.**
Miss Buckuer, who was arrested a few days
ago while conveying quinine across the line,
and taken to Washington, has been released
on taking the "oath."
Col. Nathaniel Brown, Captains Warfield
and "Williams, and Incut. Manton, have died
at Port Royal of yellow fever.
The town of Haymarket, in Fauquier coun
ty, Virginia, has been burnt by the Yankees.
Tne paper before us contains no Eurapean
news, nor any allusion to "recognition." We
heard last evening that a New York paper
had been received in Richmond, which stated
that recognition, if not a fact accomplished,
was a foregone conclusion, and would be pre
ceded by a change in the British and French
Cabinets. We attach but little importance
to the statement.— Richmond Whig."
The New* York Commercial says:
The Ino, a sailing war vessel, left this port
yesterday; the sailing frigate, Sabine, has left
New London, and the Vanderbilt and Daco
tah are under sailing orders. It is under
stood that they go to searcli for the Alabama.
The merchants of this city, meanwhile, are
discussing tbe propriety of sending some fast
vessel, the Dreadnought, for instance, to aid
in intercepting the pirate Senimes. The Ino
is a ship of eight hundred and nincty-iive
tons, said to be very fast, and is rated at fif
ty guns. She probably carries less, but bas
very heavy metal. The Vanderbilt is o?
the swiftest ocean steamers afloat, propelled
by paddies and mounts fourteen guns, some of
which are very heavy. The Dacotah is a
slonp-of-war, propelled by a screw, and
mounts seven guns. Should the Alabama
encounter one or more of the squadron, she
would depend for safety on tho relative speed
of her pursuer, for Senimes would not fight
his antagonist.
Once upon the track and the pursuing fleet
in position, the Alabama could be readily
run down. Semmes will indeed find it diffi
cult to evade capture, and must, of necessity,
cease his depredations, for a continuance of
piratical pursuits would lead our ships to
their prey. It is understood that several oth
er, vowels are either en route or under orders
for this service.
Captain Semmes will, of course, resort to
every subterfuge to avoid capture. His fa
vorite ruse will probably be repeated, that of
hoisting the British flag. Tho English gov
ernment have had the red cross insulted'by
this same privateer, who has disregarded the
consular certificates of that nation, and it is
stated in a morning paper that'ori the repre
sentation of tho British Consul here, Admi
ral Milne, commanding-hor Brittar.-ic Majes
ty's squadron in American waters, ha;* order
ed three British vessels of war to pursue her
Morrasonisma.
The romance of Mormonism is furnished
in the very touching story now circulating, of
tbe handsome Ludwig, a Swede, who fell in
love with his two pretty cousins at Dronfchelni,
frankly explained his feelings to them, and
all throe became Mormons, and passed thro'
Boston recently en route for Salt Lake City
and polygamy.
"A friend of General Stonewall Jackson I
told us," says the Richmond "Christian Ad
vocate," a few days ago, that the General re
marked he hoped our people would not forget
that Gud giveth the victory." His friend re
plied that he believed the churches were
deeply prayerful all over the land. The Ge
neral's face brightened up with pleasure as
he remarked. "Then we shall continue to
prosper."

Augusta, Nov. 13.
The Savannah Republican of this morning
says:
Ten Yankee Gunboats entirely destroyed
the town of St. Mary's, Georgia, on Sunday
last.
The Yankees attempted to land, but were
repulsed by the Confederates. They after
wards destroyed the town.

A patriotic citizen was recently arrested at
Holly Springs for selling whiskey to the sol
diers at forty dollars a gallon which had cost
him ninety cents. He had sold to the amount
of seventeen hundred and fifty dollars, when
the rest of the liquor—some two or three bar
rels—was seized and turned over to the midi
