the . practical application of the woids very un

_ern gentleman* and the Northern laborer for
each other's society—such peace nyve would
have readily enjoyed by permitting the Reb—
Confederates to seize Washington, administer
the government and proclaim "peace and goad

did as they did, and let them alone." Would
that the northern United States were upon a

Grave doubts exist as to the cause and even

however is a fixed fact, and likely to remain so.
Some even go so far as to say that Gen. Couch
has given orders not to have it cleaned, as it
may serve the purpose of a battery in case the
rebels , returnt others think thatduring the spring

there by the subsiding waters to decay; a young

all who have 'paid comutntion. since the law

CArr SAMUEI, M.*DOWELL, son .of John
M. IP Dowell of this nice, was killed the 27th
of June last, by a rebytharp shooter, in front
of Marietta, Ga., jus' before the battle was
commenced. Not yet iventy-two years old, he
had been appointed Chif of Artillery for mer
itorious conduct and fr extraordinary ability.
He was shot while in th discharge of his duty,
the ball passing thronghhis neck, severing the
jugular vein. and producig almost instant death.
He died as every soldierwould prefer,_in front,
at his post, Without pair and sincerely regret
•ed by all who knew lur, whether officers or
:privates. His remains ;ere taken to Chatta
nooga, and there buried dal military honors in
the National Cemetery. Ile was universally
considered the most prtnisingyAng artillery
officer in the army. has ben the subject of most'
unqualified praise of hitsuperiors, and had se
cured the confidence and steern of his inferiors.
His funeral was the mst impressire,aud
im
posing ever witnessed at Chattanooga, and has
been described in glowig soldier language by
many who took part in th solemn ceremonies.
Letters of condolence has been received from
brother officers, all speakig in the kindest and
most extravagant termsof *Capt. 3Pllowell.
Four fetters from him hge reached his Lordly
since his death, but wrten -before the sad
event, breathing the puret and manliest patri.
otism, as well as.the kinest consideration for
those at home who hltd (mils in his company,
and giving careful lists of killed and wounded.
In these letters he scarce! once mentions him
self, but gives calm and col accounts of most
fearful fighting. June It he says: :`while
write u ball has passed tlrrugh ray shelter tent,
and another has struck tb, log behind which I
am sheltered, but there is tudatiger ;" June sth,
"I have taken off my parla»d boots but once
or twice since the • campa;n opened, and not
once my shirt;" June lBth"Gen. Polk was kill
ed by a shell from dire of in batteries. Yester
day eveni ig we opened ter batteries on a ridge
in front, and fired about fileen Minutes to clear
it, but when our Infantry vent to advance they
found them still there; while I was firing,
Gene. Sherman, Thomas, toward, Whipple and
many other)! were with mrdireeting me where
to fire. They complimentd the men for good
shouting." In one of , hi letters he writes
with his usual dread of diOay -"PLEAsudyn't
publish any of my lute& Nothing but this
request would deter us fron publishing his let
ters entire.'
The writer of this short notice has bud the
best possible opportunities of judging of the
character of Capt. lif'Dovoll, and with s For
rowful heart adds his sad tetimony to the true
worth of the dead soldier.
For several years I had ciarge of -his educa
tion, and ever found him a' ugh 'minded; noble
hearted boy. I remember onee f having charg
ed him unjustly with a misdemeanor, which so
wounded his feelings that he called on me the
following day to explain. He impressed me so
strongly with the mortification be Alt, that at the
first opportunity I apologized to km before the
whole school, and the real culprit it once plead
ing guilty, produceing a most happy effect upon
the rest. We could cite many instances of his
manliness were it of any use to pave what all
d.-ho were acquainted with him already 'know.
Previous to his entering the army, he honored
me by asking my advice. Knowing that all of
his tastes were mathematical and military,
unhesitatingly approved of his views, and his
short but brilliant career since has never made
me recall tolestiorate' of hie qualifications.—

FRANKLIN COUNTYLOPS.—The crops of
Franklin county have , i, gathered with but
little loss, notwithstant the rebel raid and
the consequent loss oft in the busiest season
of the ,year. elobay was all made in
good season—indeed to of it that was mixed
with timothy was cut green—and all taken
in without getting rainill. The hay crop of'
this valley is thereford .saved in excellent
condition, and it is v large. - The timothy
cut after grain harvests also well cured and
is now safely mowed (reeked.
The Wheat crop wallowed to get over
ripe becatise.of the mil of horses to escape
the rebels ;lint it was iind taken in with but
little loss.. It had no rat all during cutting
and hauling and beyonrue shelling in hand-
ling it is safe. The lafmter was one of un
common severity on %Xt. We had frequent
rains, and opell,"varial weather, alternately
thawing and freeziug,d muelcrof the wheat
was killed. The whitrieties seem to have
sitfered much the mny the severe winter . ;
but it is well filled brie yield will be largely
better than was exile/ ,in the Spring. The
red Wheat stood bettn, the ground than the ,
white—having stood tolerablyrwell;T
but it is 'not so welled. Upon the whole
the Wheat crop of Odin county will be
'nearly if not quite airrage
The corn and pofjt have suffered very
much by the late drug but if we are favoreu
with showers thromti.ugust, they will be
fully an average crop.. large crop of corn is
growing.

RECRUITING AGE—Gov. Curtin has given
notice that one Reting Agent from each

can be accomplishedthis way; but whatever
