t h, k t- the cause of this proceeding was the
p ublication and secret introd

z e i ltan's dominions of certa books against
Mohammedanism which have greatly exei..
ted the Moslems. The English Minister,

brought an order for the opening of the
rooms of the AmeriCan Board and the Bible

vas hoped that some:arrangement would
be made so that matters should go on 'as
usual.
If the Turks. cart be believed, these ex
traordinary movements originated with the
Sultan himself.
The Rev. Dr. Pfander, of the English
Church Missionary Society, has written,
within a few years, several very good but
very strong books against Mohammedan
ism, which have 'been printed in London,
and privately introduced into Turkey.
They have been very extensively read, and

The Seven Thirties—What are they
We trust that a large portion of our readers
have pondered the Appeal of Mr. Fessenden, our
new Secretary of the Treasury. The purport of
it is that the People of the tailed States, acting
As a body through their agent the Goverment,
wtslt individuals to lend them two hundred mil
bons of dollars for three years, at seven and
three-tenths per oent. annual interest, payable
every nix months. For this they offer Treasury
Notes—that is, in reality, notes drawn and en
dorsed by every man in the country. The loan
is mimed fur a great national purpose, to effect
which every man, unless he be a traitor at heart
if not in act, is solemnly pledged.
The Appeal is addressed not merely to a few
great capitalists, •but also to the many whose ag
gregate means constitute the mass of the wealth,
of the land. The notes upon which thii loan is
asked are from 00. upward. Every man who
has fifty dollars can tithe part in this loan.
Apart from patriotism and the duty which all
owe to their country, no investment is so desira
ble as this.
It is secure. Every dollar of every man's
property is pledged for the punctual payment of
the iuterest, and of the debt when due. The se
curity is increasing in value. For some years
before the war we were earning 1000 millions a
year more than we spisnt. During the three
yearn of the war, owing to the high prices and
constant demand for labor, we have earned more
titan ever before. No man who could or would
ivork has been idle; and, except for the war, we
have spent less than before. The total valua
tion of the property of the United States, accord
ing to the census of 1860, was $16,150,000,000,
of which $10,07,448,966 was in the Loyal
States. This valuation, according to the usual
rule of assessment, was not more than two-thirds
of the actual cash value of the property. The
increase of property in the Loyal States during
the last ten years was over 126 per cent., or an
average of 12 6-10 per cent. per . annum. In
three years of the war we of the United States
have certainly earned 3000 millions more than
we have spent apart from the war. The cost of
the war may be set down at 2000 millions. De
ducting this from our net earnings, the People
who are security for this loan are 1000 millions
richer to-day than they were when the war broke
out,
No other investment can be so .easily convert
ible. The man who has a 'Treasury note for 00
or $lOO, or $lOOO, can turn it into money more
readily, and upon better terms, than if it were
forested upon bond and mortgage, or in railroad
cooks.
The interest offered is higher than can be re
alized from any other safe and convertible invest
ment. It is, moreover, readily collectible when
doe. To each note are affixed five "coupon's,"
or interest tickets, due at the expiration of each
successive half-year. The holder of a note has
simply to cut off one of these coupons, present
it at the nearest bank or Government Agency,
and receive his interest; the note itself need not
be presented at all. Or a coupon thus payable
will everywhere be equivalent, , when due, to
money.
Thus, while this loan presents great advantag
es to large capitalists, it offers special induce
ments to those who wish to make a safe and prof
itable investment of small savirtge. It is in ev
ery way the best Savings' Bank; for every,insti
tution of this kind must somehow invest its de
posits profitably in order to pay Interest and ex
penses. They will invest largely in this loan, as
the best investment, But from the gross inter
est which they reoeive they must deduct largely
for the expenses of the Bank. Their usual rate
of interest allowed to depositors is 5 per cent.
upon sums over $6OO. The person who invests
directly with Government wilt reoeive almost 60
per cent more. Thus the man who deposits
$lOOO in a private Savings' Bank receive's:6o dol
lars a year interest ; if he deposits the same sum
in ibis National Savings' Bank he receives 73
Liters. For those who wish to find a safe, con
venient., and profitable means of investing the
surplus earnings which they have reserved for
their old age or for the benefit of their obildren,
there is nothing which presents so many advan
tages as this National Loan.
It is convertible into a six percent. gold-bear
ing bond. At the expiration of three yearra
holder of the notes of the 7-80 loan has the op t
Lion of accepting payment in full or of funding
his note in a six per cent. gold interest bond, the
principal payable in not less than five nor more
than twenty years from its date, as the Govern
ment, may elect. For six months past, these
bonds have ranged at an average premium of
about eight per cent. in the New• York market,
and have sold at 100 to-day (Aug, 12,) thus mak
ing the real rate of interest over ten per cent.;
and besides, to make the inducement even great
er, Congress by special act exempts its Treasury
notes from state and municipal taxation. Could

The War.—During the past few days the Ar
my of the Potomac has been unusually active.
On the night of Saturday, Aug. 13th, a move
ment of the Second Corps up James River took
place. The enemy were deceived by the move
ment of a large force on transports down the
James, inducing the belief that Grant was about
to abandon the siege of Petersburg. Under cov
er of the darkness the expedition returned and
proceeded up the river. At the same time, the
Tonal Corps Grossed to the North aide of the
James, and before morning a strong force was
posted on the North side of the James within
ten miles of Richmond.
On Sunday morning, Aug. 14, in two success
ful assaults, the enemy was driven from his first
and second line of defences. On Monday, Aug.
16, the enemy was again driven back from their
jogition, with a considerable, loss in killed and
wounded, and about. 400 prisoners left in our
hands, Two of their Brig. Oenerals were killed.
We also took quite a number of wounded pris
oners, Our own loss in all the movement north
of the James has been nearly a thousand.
• Speculation has been rife, whether grant has
thus inaugurated a new movement upon Rich
mond from the North side of the James, taking
advantage of the absence of a large portion of
the, rebels in the Shenandoah Valley, or whether
this movement is, after all, only a feint to die
tract the enemy whilst the real blow will be
struck elsewhere. The future must determine.
On Thursday, August 18, about 1 A. M., the
rebels opened a most vigorous fire, lasting about
two hours, and directed principally against
Burnside's corps, on the left. It extended along
the entire line from the Appomattox to the deru- .
salem plank road, and was thought to, be the pre
lude to an assault in force. The enemy fell
back, however, without executing such a pur
pose.
On the same day, Gen. Warren moved ;with
hie carpal° and across the Weldon road. He
met nothing but the enemy's pickets, and ad
vanced toward Petersburg, feeling the enemy.
He had considerable fighting during the day,
suffering souie loss and inflicting loss on the
enemy, He succeeded in establishing himself
upon the line of the railroad, and some progress
was made in tearing up and destroying the
track.
On Friday, August 17, the rebels came out in
heavy force, about 3 P. 51., and and charged
betlyeen•• the 6th and 6th corps, succeeding in
capturing a large number of prisoners. The
number is placed as high as 1,500. Our troops,
it seems, were surprised, many of them being in
shelter tents to escape the heavy rain that had
been falling several hours previously. Our line
was forced back some distance, when thg. oth
corps came on the field and opened fire, check
ing the advance of the rebels, and taking a few
prisoners..
A heavy column of rebels at the same time
charged on the left of our line, west of the rail
road, held by the second division, Gen. Ayers,
which they broke, and- here they also took 500
or 600 prisoners, of the regular brigade, which
was commanded by Gen. Hayes, who is believed
to be a pristiner, as he cannot be found. Our whole
line was thus forced back with heavy loss in
killed and wounded. The rebels, however, suf
fered worse than we in this particular, their
men lying thick all over the field.
Before dark our men were reformed, and being
reinforced, a desperate charge was made to re
cover our lost ground, which was successfully
accomplished, so that we held at night the line
which had been taken from us in the afternoon.
• From the Valley of the Shenandoah we have
accounts of the rebels being in strong force.
Refugees from Richmond state that Lee has re
cently sent 40,000 men to reinforce Early. Gen.
Sheridan, who had driven the rebels from Win
cheeter and Strasburg, felt that it was necessary
to secure the passes in the mountains on his
flank, and has retired northward, Early being
now in the vicinity of Winchester. On Sunday,
August 21, there was considerable skirmishing
about eight miles from Elarper's Ferry, and far
mers along the Potomac are again running their
stock toward Pennsylvania. for safety.
Late• advises from before Atlanta, via Nash
ville, •state that the rebels have 85,000 men at
Atlanta,-including 40,000 Georgia militia. Their
'works are fifteen feet high, with deep ditches,
ahattis and wire'traps. Sherman has felt their
lines to the extent of twelve miles, with a view
to turning their position, but thus far has been
unable to effect his object, their lines proving
equally strong at all points.
On the lath, in front of Atlanta, the 15th
corps charged on the rebel works. At the same
time Carlin's line of skirmishers called upon the
rebel soldiers in their rifle pits to come over.
About two hundred leaped out and came into
our. lines amid the fire of the remaining rebels.
Carlin then advanced a strong skirmish line, and
took possession of the rifle pits, and now holds
them. -They are within three hundred yards of
the enemy's works. •
Letters from Fort Gaines, August Bth, contain
some interesting facto relative to the late naval
engagement in Mobile Bay. Fort Gaines sur
rendered at nine -o'clock Monday morning, Bth,
with eight hundred and seventy-six prisoners
and five-five guns. The rebels, finding it im
possible to save the gunboat Gaines, destroyed
her.
By some strategy the rebel gunboat Morgan
managed to elude the vigilance of our fleet,
and has gone up to the city. Two thousand
Union troops, from Penseeola, are in the rear
of Fort Morgan, and it must speedily eurrender.
Letters of the 11th from the rear of Fort Mor
gan state that Gen. Granger has received heavy
reinforoements from Gen. Herron; and reinforce
ments have also been sent to Pensacola. Fort
Morgan is now besieged by land and-fleet, who
were to bombard it on the morning of the 11th.
The rebels have burned all the buildings, hospi
tals, &0., outside of Fort Morgan. The rebel
gunboat Guinea was burned, and the monitor
Manhattan threw several shells into the Fort, dis
mounting one gun, prior to our forces landing.
A. Mobile paper of the 7th notices the arrival of
the guboat Morgan with the loss of only one man,
and the crew of the gunboat Gaines. The May
or of Mobile has ordered nen-combatants to
leave the city, and urges eitieens to defend the
city to the last, A. rebel dispatch dated Mobile,
'Aug. 17th, says : ' "Gen. Frank Gardner assumed
command of the District of the Gulf to-day. The
enemy from Pensacola is estimated la 20,000.
They 'crossed the Perdido river ',yesterday, and
are advancing toward Mobile Bay. All quiet in
the bay."
General—The number of houses destroyed in
the conflagration of Chambersburg is estimated
at two hundred and sixty, and the value of prop
erty consumed is computed as at least ene and a
half millions.
Gen. Hazen, in a letter dated near Atlanta,
Auguet 2d, estimates the losses of the rebels at
Atlanta for the Eve preceding weeks at 25,000.
He supposes Hood's army at, that date to be 83,-
000 strong, 8,000 of the number being Georgia
militia. Since that letter was written, it is sup
posed that very heavy reinforcements of have
been sent to Hood from Richmond.
Captain Winslow still claims that Captain
Semmes, is his prisoner, upon the ground that,
when a man surrenders, he takes upon himself
the obligation to deliver himself up to his enemy.
If such were not the rule, his enemy would never
stop firing at him until he was killed. He thinks
that Captain Semmes will himself acknowledge
the rule, and will not appear again at sea until
regularly exchanged.
It is estimated by Secretary Stanton that the
losses of the rebels on the James River and at
Petersburg, during the past week, have not been
less than 4,000, if they do not exceed that num.-
bi3r.
Foreign.—The English papers are void of do
mimic interest. Lord Palmerston and Earl Rue
sell made speeohen at the grand annual dinner
of the Fishmongers Company, which met with a
very -mild response, especially when their foreign
policy was touched upon All danger of a Caffre
war is believed to have passed away. The bat
talions of the Guards now in Canada will return
to England early in Ootober. The news from,
India is pacific, but severe comments are made
on the conduct of the Hon. Ashley Eden, envoy
to Bhootan, who suffered himself to be intimi
dated into Signing a treaty whereby a large por
tion dr the,tex4itory was ceded to the Bhooteae.
It is possible these semi-barbarous people will
attempt to take possession of the territory in
question, bat in that ease they will have to en
counter a well-appointed British army.
In China the rebellion has nearly come to an
end. Col. Gordon has been ordered to disband
his Anglo Chinese legion, but many of his men
have enlisted;in the Chinese Imperial service.
The, recent movements of the Britißh forces in
Japan have been attributed to the discovery of
a plot, organized by some hostile Deimios,
for
the murder of the foreign residents of Yokohama.
The British Envoy, Sir RutheNord Alcock, Bent
at once to China for reinforcements, and when
theee troops arrive it is understood that the
fleet will proceed to open up the inland sea,
which is at present effectually closed against
traffic by the Prince of Chosen, Who fires on el,-
erg vessel that ,passes Simonosaki Bay: The
threatening Inquiet of affairs induced Sir Ruther
ford Aloook to deatand.an audience of the Goro
gio, which was granted most unwillingly, after
warning him that he incurred the danger of as
saasina.tion by going to Yeddo. He carried his
point, however, went there in a frigate, and had
PRESBYTERIAN
the interview. It is evident that. trouble.with
other Powers besides England is brewing in
Japan.
The London Times is exercised about the kid
napping of Irishmen, now so extensively carried
on by the Yankees. It fears to see Ireland de
populated by Federal recruiting agents, and
Irish emigrants carried elf by force to Grant's
lines. It also asks, Bow many English sub
jects are there at this moment lingering in Fort
Lafayette and other prisons of the Federal Gov
ernment who are likely to linger on till death,
perhaps—unknown, unheard of and unpitied ?"
American readers will recall our own complaints
of British aggressions, with infinitely more of
foundation, prior to the war of 18)2.
The Polish insurrection is at last over, and
the Poles must make up their minds to he de
nationalized. Two hundred thousand of them
have been added to the population of t Siberia;
thirty thousand have fallen on the field of battle;
but of the numbers who are languishing in Rus
sian, Austrian, and Prussian prisons, or who are
exiles in foreign lands, we have no account. The
latest announcement is that M. Traugott, the
head of the Polish national government, and four
of his associates, were hanged on the glacis of
the citadel of Warsaw, on the sth of August, and
that the sentences of death passed upon eleven
officials of the national government bad been
commuted, in some cases to hard labor, and in
the others to imprisonment in a Siberian fortress.
All the public offices are now filled by Russians
selected for their antipathy to the Poles ; and all
public businese must be transacted in the Russian
language, so that by degrees the Polish will fall
into disuse. This result, when obtained, will
bind the fated land fast to the car of her con
querors In this manner are rebellions sup
pressed is Europe, whilst, European Powers are
invoked to intervene for the sake of preventing
our severer(!) way of doing the thing in Amer
ica.
The preliminaries of a Dana-German peace
were signed at Vienna on the 2d of August, and
an armistice for three months was concluded,
with the understanding that at the expiration of
six weeks either party may propose its prolonga
tion. Thus the war is at an end, and Denmark
has submitted to such terms as the conquerors
imposed. She cedes Holstein, Lauenburg, Schles
wig, and the islands of Alsen and Pemern to the
Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia,
who are to dispose of them [l4 they think &
that., is to say, without consulting her. The na
tional debt is to be divided between Denmark
proper and the Duchies, and the latter are to in
demnify Austria and Prussia for the expenses of
the war, which is only fair, since these ehme
Duchies were the cause of all the mischief; in
this respect the German .Powers have behaved
liberally to Denmark. The army of occupation
will remain in Jutland until all the conditions
are'earried out ; but no more contributions are
to be levied in that province. The. Danes are
now at leisure fo reflect upon the meaning of the
proverb, " save me from my friends."
Spain appears to be really meditating at attack
on Peru. Vice Admiral Labo has sailed to join
the Spanish squadron in the Pacific, but what
force he has with him, or whether he has any,
does not appear. It is said that Chilian and Pe
ruvian agents are in England purchasing ships
of war; and it also appears that Spain has"re
fused to give up the Chincha island. She seems
to have an itching to recover a foothold in Amer
ica.
The Mexican expeditinn is nearly at an end.
From 8,000 to 10,000 men are to be recalled, and
the ships for that service are to arrive at Vera
Cruz on or about the 15th of October. The
London Times says that the selection of the Arch
duke Maximilian to be the ruler of the new Em
pire was ajudicious one, and that it is the inter
est of the civilized world to uphold the change
that has been wrought in Mexico. It adds, "it
would be a singular, although, perhaps, not un
desirable anomaly, if - the Washington govern
ment were, as appears likely to be the case, to
recognize the new order of affaiis before our
selves."
The American consul at Alexandria had be

Egypt; but it was expected that the difficulty

The Money Market.—The chief features of
importance are, first, the continued dullness of the
stock market, notwithstanding the ease in money ;
and secondly, the daily increasing demand for
government bonds, both from abroad and from
bur own citizens. The three last steamers have
brought larger orders than usual for these secu
rities from European capitalists. -A few days
ago, bonds amounting to more than one million
of dollars were reported to have been bought up
at high rates by three or four prominent foreign
houses.
Of our national stocks, the five-twenties - are
now most in favor among foreign capitalists.
They sell, consequently, at the highest price.
Sixes of 1881, formerly more in request than any
other of our government securities, have not yet
entirely recovered from the depression caused
by Mr. Chase's unsuccessful attempt to sell fifty
millions of them to the highest bidders.
The subscriptions to the new seven-thirty loan
are reported large. All over the country these
subscriptions are going into. the Department
through the Sub-treasuries and the National
banks, and for the time the loan has been before
the peiple, it is proving a greater success than
the 000,000,000 five-twenty loan at ite first in
oeption. These popular bonds, which dragged
at first at par, are now selling at 109/6110.
The new loan will be practically another gold
bearing five twenty stock at the end of three
years, currency interest at 7.30 per cent. being
paid in the meantime.
The statement of the public debt for the week
endibg August 9th was $1,832,649,835.60; in
crease $8,157,664.29. The items show a contin
ued expansion of the currency, about six million
dollars of the Coupon interest Notes having been
issued.
Fruit and Vegetables Needed.—As a very
large number of soldiers will pass through the city
during this and the coming week, the Subsistence
Committee ask of our citizens„ farmers and gar
deners, contributions of fruits and vegetables.
There need be no fear of an over-supply, as thou
sands of bushels' of vegetables will be needed.
Let apples, peaches, cabbage, potatoes, beets;
onions, butter and eggs be sent either to City
Hall, or No. 79 Smithfield Street. Tomatoes end
cucumber pickles are not, only needed for imme
diate use, but for canning and pickling for
the Soldiers' Home. Having witnessed the
operations of the Subsistence Committee, and
seen the substantial meals given by them to the
soldiers, we can assure all that their gifts will be
properly used, and most thankfully reoeived by
those for whom they are intended.
Dry Goods Market.—ln general thek dry
goods trade shows an advance in prices. Cot
ton goods have advanced from 1 to 2 cents per
yard; and manufacturers say they must stop
their mills, owing to the high price of cotton,
unless prices are increased.
For woolen goods there is more inquiry, and
also a small advance in prices.
Foreign goods have been languid for some
time, but now there is .a limited inquiry:
For wool there is an increased demand by
manufacturers and speculators, though specula
tors are more shy than some time ago.
Relief for Chambersburg.—The SUM apprc.
priated for the reliefof the citizens of Charobers
britg, is $200,00% instead of two millions, as re
ported.
No State and County' taxes are to be collected
in the borough for three years. School taxes for
present year are rentitted, and $4,000 appro
priated to the schools from the State Treasury.

DROWNED—In the Cuyahoga river, on the
13th of August, WILLIAM S. MEANS, son of
Capt. John A. and Eliza C. Means, of North
field, Obi', in the 23d year of his age.
The subject of this notice was a young man of
faultless moral character. As a eon, he was
eminently respectful, dutiful, and thoughtful. -
As .a brother, he was tenderly affectionate, kind,
and obliging. In society, he was genial, modest,
and unobtrusive. In his worldly business, he
was diligent, energetic, and successful. He had
not publicly professed faith in Christ, but had
reverently studied the doctrines of the Gospel,
and, so far as known to the writer, had endeav
ored daily to practice its precepts. While bath
ing in the river, in company with others, he-was,
with scarcely a moment's premonition, called to
give an account of his stewardship.
As an item of tender and painful interest, I
may add, that the bereaved father of the de
ceased—who is a Captain in the 115th Reg't 0.
V. .I—was on his way home from the army in the
South-west, when the , sad event occurred,'
When but a little more than one hour's travel
from home, the afflictive tidings were communi=
ceted to him, by a friend who accidentally met
him at the Cleveland Depot. With a body deep
ly prostrated with sickness from which he had
but partially recovered, and with a heart bleed
ing under the painful bereavement, he reached
the church while the funeral services - were going
on. There, in the presence of 'a large and pro
foundly sympathizing assembly, he joined his
weeping family, and with them followed the
mortal remains of his dear William to the grave.
The prayers of those who may read this no
tice are asked in behalf the stricken family.
W. C.
DlED—On the morning of August 6th, 1864,
Mr. JOSEPH G. THOMAS. '
Mr. Thomas was born in Salem, Columbiana
County, Ohio, March 24, 1820, and was married
to Miss Nannic J. Fife, formerly of Washington,
Pa., March, 1851. His illness was sudden and
violent, proving fatal in less than a fortnight.
He wag a man of rare financial ability. From
being a clerk, be rose by his own exertions to
the possession and control of a large business as
a banker. Uninfluenced by, public opinion, he
•did whatever he thought right. Possessing per
fect self-control, the sharpest business conflict
never seemed to call forth resentment. Where
others would purse anger ancl• harbor resent
ment. be would meet with a smile.
An affectionate husband and tender father, he
was ever mindful of the happiness of his family.
He encouraged his wife in all her efforts to train
their children in the tear of God, and was more
and more in the habit of being with them in the
house of God. It is with a tender interest thet,
his wife now thinks of the different incident
going to show that he was beginning to take a
personal interest in eternal things—of his re
peated desire to join her in her seasons of de
votion ; of their last precious Sabbath evening ;
of his request to read to him the obituary
notices of two friends ; of his solemn remark
that we should all be prepared for death; of the
interest that he manifested in - the incidents that
she read to him out of the lives of the patriarchs.
The next day he was stricken down. Now that
he is gone, his loved ones feel that these inci
dents show his' inward estimate of the religion
of Jisus. It is to be hoped that hie little chil
dren, as they increase in years, will learn to
love that Saviour, of whose infinite worth their
lamented father was persuaded, and whom:, sal
vation he endeavored to place within their reach.
His sudden. and untimely death should lead
tie all to ponder well our latter end. To use one
of his last thoughtful remarks, " Wa should at
all limes-be prepared for death."
KILLED—In battle, near Spotteylvania, Va.,
May 12th, 1864, Corporal WILLIAM CALVIN
SLOAN, of Clarion County, Pa , a member of
Co. F, 148th fteg't P. V., in the 28th year of his
age.
It is with heartfelt Borrow we record the death
of this Christian patriot. In early years he was
deprived of both his parents, but he realized the
fulfilment of the promise, " When my father
and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will
take me up." lie found a happy home in the
family of ,a loving end tenderly-attached sister.
In.the season of ripening youth, he publicly pro
fessed Christ, in the church of Leatherwood.
Cherishing an ardent patriotism, he enlisted in
the service of his country in August, 1862.
Through many battles he passed unharmed, gal
lantly performing his duty, till at last, in a fear
ful charge, he was wounded in the arm, and on
starting to the rear, was pierced in the body by
a ball causing instant death. Titus he was
called from the shock of battle to receive, as we
trust, the conqueror's crown.
As a companion, he was a general. favorite.
By his amiable and highly social disposition, he
endeared himself to all his acquaintances. As
a soldier, his conduct is his best memorial. His
fidelity in the performance of duty was stead
fast. The same cheerful hope, the same lofty
patriotism, the same devoted energy that first
characterized his enlistittent, marked his whole
career. As a .Christian, he was truly exem
plary. His record is on high. We love to think
of him as the unostentatious soldier of the cross.
Elia comrades mourn the loss of a brave pa
triot. His meesmates 'feel the want of, his
watchful care. The companions of his youth
mourn his death. The church of which he was
a member laments the lose of hie influence. Bis
pastor, now a chaplain in; the army, on return
ing, will miss his cordial greeting and words of
Christian. affection. Brothers and. sisters are
deeply afflicted. The hearts of little nephews
and nieces are saddened, and their footfalls
hushed, as they learn that " Uncle Calvin" will
come home no more.
He now rests froni his warfare. His work is
done. His duty to his country is nobly per
formed. We cherish the sweet hope that the
weapons of his earthly warfare are-exchanged
for the white robe and starry crown.'"
V Rest, soldier, rest ; thy warfare o'er,
The battle roll thou% hear no more ;
Thy duty bravely, nobly done,
The conflict's past, the victory's won."
" E.
DlED—Snne 27th, 1864, JOHN JAMIESON,
Co. B, 98th Reg't Ohio Volunteers.
.The noble boy whose name is above announced,
and whose mortal remains lie in-Northern Geor
gia, deserves more at our hands than the mere
recital of his fall.
He was born in Indiana County, Pa., May
26th, 1842. His family removed to Jefferson
County, 0 , in the Spring of 1860. He con
neoted himself with the U. P. church in Blairs
ville, Pa. - , in 'his 17th year. Rev. Mr. Conner
was the pastor. When the voice of his country
called her sons to arouse and gird on the
sword, he was diligently and successfully prose
outing 'a regular course of study at New Athens,
Ohio, preparatory to the work of the Gospel min
istry, to which he had been called, as he felt, of
God, and for which he seemed to be peculiarly
fitted. He regarded the call of the country the
call of duty, and laying aside his books, having
first obtained the consent of a widowed mother,
who looked , upon him as the solace and comfort
of her decliningyenrs,,,he responded by enlist
ing in Co. Bof the 98th Ohio. That was a sad
parting between that fond mother, and her lov
iag boy. But both were sustained by a'sense of
duty and an unfaltering trust ina covenant God.
lie became in time a member of the Army of
the Cumberland. He participated in all its fa
tigues, privations, and battles. He was never
in the hospital, nor was he ever off duty but for
a few days-at one time. He bore all the vicis
situdes of the camp, and march, and field, with
the heroic firmness, and untiring patience, and
unmurmuring endurance that so largely charac
terize our brave men, and that so well became
the Christian soldier. He was always at the
post of duty and ready for every ,emergency.
He won and retained the love and confidence of
both officers and privates—his comrades in
arms. He received his death-wound about 10
o'clock in the forenoon of Monday, the 27th,
during a charge made 'iv our regiment upon
some rebel breastworks, and lingered until 2
o'clock in• the afternJon, when he expired. His
death was caused by a musket ball passing di
rectly through the bowels. His remains were
decently interred by his comrades in a shady
grove, and the , grave marked with his name,
company, and regiment, so .that
.it could easily
be recognized. John was a brave and faithful
soldier, and met his death doing his duty. He
was beloved by every one, and his death has cast
a gloom over all. Although your loss is irrepa
rable, you have the consolation of knowing that
he sacrificed his life in the cause of justice and
truth. The officers and men of the compaby
tender to you their heartfelt sympathy in your
great affliction." Thus wrote his Captain to - his
mother. He needs no other eulogy than these
lines contain.
How sweetly and sacredly came to that strick
en mother, in thjs sad bereavement, in this
blasting of her hopes and this withering of her
joys, these testimonies of his fellow-soldiers to
his faithfulness and merit. But there is higher,
holier consolation. far. John was prepared for
death. In the last letter he ever wrote to his
mother, under date of June 7th, he said : "I
pray daily, and if I fall I hate hope of meeting
father anti mother, .brothers and sisters, in
heaven. His last message, whispered in the ears
of attendant„sotrowing companions, was : "Tell
my mother I tried to do my duty to my country,.
and that I was prepared to die." - And thus, in
the assured hope of a glorious immortality,
amidst the din of battle, he passed away to meet
the loved ones gone before, to join the triumph
ant hosts of the redeemed, and to_ be at peace
forever with the Lord. Whilst we deeply sym
pathize with surviving friends, yet, in viewing
all the circumstances of this case we cannot but
say, Happy, happy boy!.
"Lo, the pain of life is past,
All his warfare now is o'er;
Death and hell behind are cast,
•
Grief and suffering`are no more.
Yes, the Christian course is run,
Ended is the glorious strife:—
. Fought the fight, the work is done,
Death is swallowed up of life I"
