From this fact it may be presumed that I have consented that my name should be run. Such is not the case, circumstances entirely preclude the pos sibility of my being a caudidate, and am therefore no candidate. J 'highly appreciate the motives which actuated -"Soldiers" in their fl ittcriug notice, and talc tbis opportunity to thank them for 'it. Please publish this note and oblige Yours, very respectfully, L. D. Pender . k's suffering terminated his l june 24, recently received in this iown, from a "member of Cap! John How ard's Co.

We started on Saturday morning relieved the old picket and kept u sharp lookout for the Yankees, whose lines were only abaut four or five hundred yards off. In a little while we received orders that the Yankees were working, and that we must advance and stop them. Ool. Tew ordered Capt. Howard to throw his company forward. Wo went abeut two hundred yards, . halted, and . pent four men forward to see what the Yan kees were louig; they weet about a hundred yards, whea they saw a Yan kee lying in the woods,. -who they shot and then retreated. We then fell back and got a Georgia Regiment and star ted forward again.

The deceased was a native of Edgecombe, and filled the office of fcherilf in his county t the time of his enlistment iuto the' Con federate States service. Feeble in body but strong in heart, he left a contented and happy home in April last, to join his fate with those of his friends and associates, who had assumed the war rior's garb in defence of Southern home, and Southern honor. A sense of duty and patriotism alone impelled him to such an undertaking. Rut alas! he is no more. C rim-visa red death visited him iu a land Jgroaniug beneath the pangs of convulsions, and reddened with the honored blood of Southern soldiers. Cheerful und buoy ant he saw the flowerlets of spring bloom o his native site; and ere they withered, sunk in the cold tomb of death before the altar of his country. In life, by his open, frank anil genial nature he had endeared himself to ma ny whom he might truly call friends. Ry a characteristic energy aud a dis position to conform to justice aud cor rect moral principles in all social trans actions, he had won the esteem, and gained the couGdcncc of the whole j community. Though far away from home and mother those words which move most a soldier's heart yet picas- must it have been while we saw their scouts. All the Georgians fired, and some few of our men at them. From some cause we retreated again. Gen. Ripley then rode up to Col. Tew aud u;-ked him wliat he retreated fur, and told him to go forward aud engage the battery with four companies, and hold the Georgians iu reserve. So for the third time we started forward, as we thought to charge the battery- W lieu we got on tbe edge of the woods the two companies iu advance, companies R and E. (Capts.

Holding the office of Sheriff, he was exempt by law, from military duty, ami the public sentiment neither urged nor expected him to buckle on the sword. Besides, he was of feeble constitution aud afflicted with a chronic malady, which peculiarly unfitted him for the camp and the march. When his purpose to join the army became known, his friends, aarc ot his physical infirmities, essayed to dis suade him from it. Fired by patriot- ism, and a laudable desire to win for himself an honorable name, he spurned their advice, and bidding adieu to mother, wife and sisters, he went forth to fight the battles of his country. nftcr he reached the lUIIULUIu''J ramp of his Uegimcnt, it was ordered to Virginia, where it has been actively employed ever since it's arrival. As it was feared, the hardships of a sol dier's life soon affected his health, but he shunned no, duty, and on the night preceding his confinement, although the svmptoms of the disease of which lie died, had manifested themselves and he was advised of the danger, he refused to be relieved and remained at his post he was in a skirmish at Hano ver Court House in which he bore him eelf gallantly, the only opportunity which v;iS afforded him of exhibiting his qualities on the buttlc-fitld him in both of those battles. A few hours before he died he called his mother to him ; and said he, "Mother, I love my couutry, I waut to djfend it. I love my Kcgimcnt, I want to get to it j but the laws of God must be obey ed." He then called his dear parents and sisters and brother and hugged and kissed them one by one, and called on God to bless them. Oh, his death is indeed a sad bereavement to his dear family aud relatives. The blow in deed is a heavy one. He was a dutiful and obedient son, a kiud and affection ate brother, and much beloved by all who knew him. lie had a kind word for every one. For morality aud truth fulness he could uot be surpassed. We have never known him to utter a pro fane word, or speak an untruth.
