[The following lines on the death of Colonel Lewis Benedict, who fell while leading his brigade at the battle of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, April 9, 1864, were recited by James E. Murdoch, before the New-York Legislature, on the second of February, 1865.] We laid him in his last and patriot rest; Dark Death but couched him on Fame's living breast. We twine the sorrowing cypress o'er his grave, And let the star-bright banner loftier wave At mention of his deeds! In manhood's prime, Blossoms the pinions waved by smiling Time, He left life's warbling bowers for duty's path, Where the fierce war-storm flashed its reddest wrath; Path proud, though rough; outrang the trumpet's blast: “To arms, to arms! down to the dust is cast The flag, the dear old flag, by treason's hand!” And the deep thundering sound rolled onward through the land. In the quick throngs of fiery life that rushed To smite for native land till wrong was crushed And ri

present, have my warmest gratitude. Mrs. Coulter was the accomplished and wealthy Miss Joanna Douglas, of La Grange, Georgia, and we are known to each other only by family name and character. How my dear mother's gentle heart would warm towards them, and how earnestly would she invoke God's kindest blessing upon them, if she only knew of their disinterested, Christian conduct towards her suffering, destitute, imprisoned boy. They will surely reap an abundant reward. January 1st to February 2d, 1865 A number of officers, captured in Georgia by Sherman, arrived, and were quartered in adjoining rooms.

When they came within our lines our men cheered loudly, and the soldiers on both sides cried out lustily, Peace! peace! This was intended as a compliment, and I believe was so taken by them. I am sorry I could not stay longer with you, but I don't believe I should have had any satisfaction, as every report brought in would have a recall telegram. Headquarters army of the Potomac, February 2, 1865. Grant sent me a note this morning, saying a telegram from Washington announced my confirmation yesterday by a heavy majority; thus I have gained another victory, and have found that I really have more friends than I had any idea of. There have been some English officers here this evening from the frigate Galatea, and they have kept me up so late that I cannot write as much as I would wish. I thought my last visit was, excepting dear Sergeant's Son of General Meade. sickness
