OBITUARY.
IX MEMOEY OV. THE X.ATB SOBEPH'-B. BHEWELL.
The affectionate husband, jthe tender father,: the
pure brother, friend, has passed from
«arih; “the silver cord is'loosed, the golden howl
is broken,”- and the iriend whom we have knovvu
for so many years,has left ns. We who knew ms
sterling character and' worth, his modest and un
assuming demeanor, his stem aud unbending in
tegrity, ms genial an.d social disposition, his kind,
generous and. .charitable nature: can truly say
that we mourn his departure. ‘ ‘Our loss, how
ever, isihis gain;”, he has passed; we trust, from
the scenes,of earth to those of Heaven; now walks
the golden streets of the Heavenly Jerusalem, and
has joyfai dummoas,. ‘XWeJUbdone, thou
good and faithful servant, enter thou into' the joy
•of thy Lord:” The fond hope,which we ch-fish
and which his grave, -Jthe rainbow of
promise, is tbpt we may he permitted to gTeet httn
in those Heavenly mansions beyond the skies,
«‘Wheie the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet,
, While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, -•
And the smile of the Lord, is the feast of the
soul.” ’

who came into our lines on Thursday last, that
the rebel General Stuart’s cavalry were con
centrated on the western slope of Thoroughfare
Mountain, a reconnoitring party from Merritt’s
cavalry was immediately despatched to ascer
tain the truth of the report. The party re
turned the same evening, having explored the
mountain without finding any trace of Stuart
or his troopers.
There is a rumor in circulation that our vi
dettes jacketing Cedar Mountain recently saw
a force of rebel cavalry engaged in constructing
two bridges across the liapidan, but nothing
definite has been received at the headquarters
of the cavalry corps.
Three men on picket duty a few days since

ADVANCE OF THE ENEMY IN WESTERN
VIRGINIA.
jCorrespondence eff the New York Herald.]
Heaequarters, Department of Western
Virginia, Feb. 1 .—Considerable excitement
prevailed along the line of the railroad to-day,
occasioned more by precautionary movements
than anything else.
Yesterday morning a portion of a rebel
brigade that had been sent over into New
Creek Valley for the purpose of inter
cepting ! ono of our moving columns came
upon the rear of Colonel Thoburn’s command,
whereupon skirmishing ensued between the two
forces. Our men finally drove the rebels back.
This afternoon the enemy again advanced, and
this time occupied Burlington. Brisk skir
mishing was going on at different times during
the day.
Much confidence is felt in General Kelley’s
ability to defeat the enemy’s designs. Up to
this time everything is favorable to the interests
of our side.

refined and classic ears gratified by Rev. Doe

University, last evening. He repeated Shaks
] scare admirably. Up’on epigrams and epi
taphs h#was peculiarly happy. One story of
the minister who visited the New England
church yard where all the saints and none of
the sinners were buried, was worth more than
the price of the lecture. By the w ay, we had
heard a similar story, but we never before
heard the scene laid in New England; but it
made a splendid Yankee tale; the stranger
being allowed to. Write a verse upon the gate,as
others had done’, wrote—

A Stlendid Establishment. —The historian
of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, describes
bis court. He says there was no lack of splendid
dresses and sparkling gems, or of whatever else
could give brilliancy to the scene. The dake’s
chair was on a dais raised three steps above the
floor and carpeted with cloth of gold. His attire,
as became h s superior rank, was rich and magni
ficent above that of all the rest. His hearing was
stately. His glance, as it ranged over the assembly,
confessed his pride in that band of noble yastals,
the satellites of his glory, and confidence in his
own capacity as their ruler and their chief; but
there is no disguising the fact that the Duke and
his iollowei s would have looked more civilized and
as elegant, had they lived a hundred yeaTs later,
and enjoyed the privilege of procuring their wear

CHANGES WROUGHT BY : THE WAB.
In “ Cudjo’s Cave,” a war novel by J. T.
Trowbridge, well known as a contributor to
the Atlantic Monthly, we find the following
beautiful paragraph:
“ How many a beloved c good-for-nothing’
has gone from our streets and firesides, to re
appear far off in a vision of glory ! The;
tchool-fellows know not their comrade; the
mother knows not her own son. The strip
ling, whose outgoing and incoming were so
familiar to ns—impulsive, funloving, a little
vain, a little selfish, apt to be cross when the
supper was not ready, apt to come late and
make you cross when, the supper was ready
and waiting—who ever guessed what noble
ness was in him! His country called, and he
rose up a patriot. The fatigue of marches,
the hardships of camp and bivouac, the haxiL
fare, the injustice that must be submitted idy
all the terrible trials of the body’s strength'
and the soul’s patient endurance—these he
bore with the superb buoyancy of spirit which
denotes the hero. , Who was it that caught up
the colors, and rushed forward with them into
the thick of the battle, after the fifth man who
attempted it had been shot down ? Iff ot the vil
lage loafer, who used to go about-the streets
dressed ae shabbily ? Yes, the same. •He
fell, covered with wounds mid glory.—
The rusty and seemingly useless instrument
.we saw bang so long idle on the walls of soci
ety, none dreamed to be a trumpet of sonorous
’ note until the soul came and blew a blast. And
wbat has -become of that white-gloved, per
fumed Jumdsome cousin of ydurs, devoted to
his pleasures, weary even of those—to whom
life, with all its luxuries, had become a bore T
He fell in the trenches at Wagner. He had
distinguished himself by his daring, his hardi
hood, his fiery love of liberty. When thei
nation’s alarm heat, his manhood stood erect;
lie shook himself; all his past frivolities wero
nO more than dust tp the mane of this young
lion. The war has proved useful if only .in this,
that it has developed the latent heroism in our .
young men, and taught us wnat is in humanity,
in our fellows, in ourselves. Because it has
called into action all this generosity and cour
age, if for no other cause, let us forgive its cru
elty, though the chair of the beloved one be
vaeantj/tho bed unslept in, and the hand cold!
that panned the letters in that sacred' drawer,,
which cannot even now be opened without
grief.” .
Tub Old- Frag.”—A letter from Chatta
nooga, after speaking of the erection of a lofty
flag-staff on .the peak of Lookout
from which now floatsthe Old, Flag, says:
I must tell you,an affecting little scene I
witnessed when we first crossed Lookout about
the 6th of September. We were marching
along at “route step” with our colors furled
and in them black cases, when we perceived
about a dozen of the fair sex in one of those
everlasting southern porticos, watching us as
we passed. We had got nearly by, whon ono •
of the young ladies stepped out to the front,'
and said,“Bovs, we want to see the old flag.”
Oh! such a shout as went up; banners soon
unfurled, music struck up, the men took step,
hats without number went into the air, and the
hurrah lasted for s good hour, and the women
all cried. .
