It would he difficult to conceive

surrounding towns, enef - yingofr plun

and children, and finding a conveni

the depths of the intiivate hazel hush
and dark forests. The whole south

swarming with detached squads
fighting under a mythical flag; ene

track of desolation wherever their

The principal stampiiig ground :old

Near this sp o t, where a light

parallel in a brother's revengc---

was just at the time of our greatest
privation, when we had sent far and
near to procure a subject, alibi found
none forthcoming, that some of the
class brought intelligence of a body
which had that very afternoon, been
interred in the cemetery adjoining
the town. It was the body of a man,
and the death had been a sudden one,
although from no contagious disease.
The limited illness, as it would leave
the system very nearly in its natu
