e District; but, while it was treated decorously, no decisive step was taken toward compliance with its prayer. As the distinctive Abolition movement gained strength in the North, and the excitement caused thereby rose higher in the South--especially after the Message of Gen. Jackson, already quoted, urging that anti-Slavery agitation be made a penal offense — a more decisive hostility was resolved on by the champions of Slavery, under the lead of Mr. Calhoun. On the presentation, by Mr. Fairfield, of Maine (December 16, 1835), of the petition of one hundred and seventy-two women, praying the Abolition of the Slave-Trade in the District, it was decisively laid on the table of the House; Yeas 180, Nays 31--the Nays all from the North, and mainly Whigs. On the 18th, Mr Jackson, of Massachusetts, offered a similar petition from the citizens of the town of Wrentham; and Mr. Hammond of South Carolina, moved that it be not received; which was met by a motion to lay on the table.

ighborhood we find also one raised to the memory of David Patterson, a young merchant of Boston, who died at sea in 1834:-- Erected by his commercial friends and associates as a memorial of their affection and respect for his elevated moral and religious character. He sleeps beneath the blue lone sea, He lies where pearls the deep. He was the loved of all, yet none O'er his low bed may weep. David Patterson. Webster. Clement Durgin. I Thaxter. Williams. Bond.

In looking back over this ramble among the monuments of Mount Auburn, we cannot but see how far our sketches must be, at the best, from conveying a complete conception of either the natural beauties, or the artificial decorations of the grounds, to one who has never paid them a visit. We are confined to a selection (instead of a collection) of the monuments, and that upon principles, necessary to the design of this work, but leaving some

al, did so much for the preservation of the history of the troops of this State by his faithful and zealous work under the act to provide for the preparation of the rolls of troops furnished by the State to the army of the Confederate States, estimated that each company from this State averaged one hundred and twenty-five men during the war. This would make 1,750 men furnished by Fairfield to the line, add to these the quota of staff officers and men in other commands, and we have no doubt Fairfield alone furnished 2,000 men. By the census of 1860 there were but 3,241 white males of all ages in this district, and but 1,578 between the ages of fifteen and fifty; so that the whole armsbear-ing population of the county was in the army. And yet Sherman attempts to cover his brutality by the falsehood and sneer, that these men would not fight. Need those who had chased this same redoubtable hero from the first battlefield of the war desire his encomiums upon their courage? Need they b

e army to be on the march at sunset. The large supply-trains, containing provisions and booty, assembled at Cashtown, are directed toward Chambersburg. The facility with which they again cross the chain of South Mountain shows that Lee did not mention the real motives of the attack of the 2d when he alleged the impossibility of falling back as far as the western slope of the mountains with his supply-trains. There are two routes behind him—that of Chambersburg at the north, and that of Fairfield at the south: the latter is the shortest and covers the first. This is the one which the entire army will follow—Hill at the head, followed by Longstreet, and the latter by Ewell, who closes the march. During this time the wounded who can bear transportation are crowded into all kinds of vehicles: with the exception of those loaded with ammunition all the wagons that have followed the army join this convoy, which starts along the Cashtown road, where it overtakes the remainder of the tra

Raid in Mississippi. --The Jackson Mississippian has the following intelligence of a raid in that State: The 1st Alabama Federal cavalry, composed of tories and deserters of North Alabama, and commanded by Col. Fairfield, and a battalion styling themselves the Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee Sharpshooters, made a raid into the Cane Creek country on Tuesday last week, and were engaged by the command of Col. Forrest, (a brother of Gen. Forrest,) with what result is not known. On Tuesday night Ferguson's brigade was ordered to the scene of action, and fought the raiders until Wednesday evening, with but few casualties on either side. On Wednesday and Thursday, the same force of tories and deserters made their appearance on the mountains of Marion, Winston and Walker counties, coming within ten miles of Jasper. They burned Allen's cotton factory, and destroyed much of the property of the loyal citizens — even tore up the dresses of the ladies, and broke the furniture and
