Sown but with hopes forlorn. When, bearing yet my silent grief, I join among the gay, My heart or lips cannot withhold A warm and glad "Good-by." Oh, bounteous Lord, thou dost not yet Quite joyless leave me hare Sweet trust that rises heavenward Doth keep my soul from fear. The glory of the light that falls On countlees Tillage spires Thou list'nest still to measured praise Of organs and of choirs. Sun, moon, and stars still shed their beams So lovingly on me.

How like the Mien, sounds tho mournfa! and cheerless Octob.r wind, aurging ky in fitful gosts, now i load and fiendish glee, now subdued to a Ion, low wail of agony How the heart sickens, shudders, as nearer comes the dismal sound, bursting through the embrowaed and dying fohago of a fbivering forest! At this sombre season, bow one regrets the calm and cheerful days of too soon; flown like tho dreams of boyhood, likotho hopes of happier years. Thcro is a mournful satisfaction, as the autumn winds whistle by, in dreaming orer again those same hopes and plans of one a youth.

Sheltered from the cold nor' eastern by a friendly tent, snueIy enscon. ctdby the side of the mud chimney just built, the weary and war-worn soldier, with head drooped upon his manyscarred breast, plunges deep into tho flood by-Kon memories, wanders back amidst the dim shadowy realms of an inexorable 'Tis not for to fathom his thoughts; hi dreams may be of home, a father's and mother's Joromay bo the themes ipon which he dwells in these dark and trouble- my one of our batteries into inorery miusww-rtP of Yankees was the first intimation they had of our closo neighborhood out the nature of tho ground was such that a surnriso avauea us muv, ine at all for although our nrst ur. v- tered the foo like cnan oeiore me wmu, still scarcely five minutes elapsed before briirade after kriado wero seen moving up from the rear and taking a position of immense strength behind a rail road embankment from which to have disledged thsm it would bavo required the wholo of Hill's Corps, whilo only the two liorth Carolina Brigades had yet come up; the others being far behind.

Each box as branded in bluele-ters, W. F. Flippen, the Pride of tue west, Danville, and was loaded by us on the 27th of September, 18G2, to a man himself J. F. King, to be delivered to J.

F. Garrett, Greensboro', N. O. This man had a two horse waon driven by a negro, and a ono horse wagon drawn by a very large gray mare. The man was about 4-r years old, 5 feet 7 or inches high, weight 165 to 175 pounds.

We think his hair was slightly grny, and his complexion dark. He said he had been loaded with flour and bacon, which he had sold some 6 or 8 miles back on the road in North Carolina. This man profe3sed to be from Guilford county, where he said he had lived for about nix years. Any information that may lead to the discovery of the tobacco will be mosf thankfully received and the ahove reward promptly paid. CHAMBERS PATRICK, W-tf Danville, Va.
