POETRY- Death, but never Dlsnonor Death, but never dishonor! jf Freedom we now must resign, Be ths fields where our fathers first won her, I Her burial-place and her shrine There let us marshal our powers, tory Sworn to our ancestors' fame, And if victory may not be ours, At least we shall sink without shame! I'M have forgotten their mothers, Traitors with foes have allied, 'Jtni those we have cherished as brothers, Shrink in dismay by our side; Realms that still share in our danger, Tremble to share in the strife; Yield up the field to the stranger, Liberty selling for life! Never, for us, the foul story, Unless from the Past you may tear Every record that tells of the glory Of sires whose weapons we wear I The birth-right of place which they gave us, Is nought to their birth-right of Fame Foes may crush, but they shall not enslave us, Hate may conquer, but never shall shame! Gen. Bragg and the Tender Passion. A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, writing from Shelbyvillc, says An officer in Gen. Bragg's army had obtained a short leave of absence to permit him to go home and attend to personal interests demanding his presence. Before his time of absence had expired he requested a further leave of absence for thirty days, and promised is return a better soldier than be had ever been before.

His request was approved by the various officers in command over him, who knew him to be a tried and faithful man, and finally by General Bragg. Before the thirty days' thna granted had expired, he again forwarded a communication desiring a still further leave. His officers were astonished at his impudence and audacity, and each one in turn, through whose hands it passed, marked it "disapproved." Before the communication reached army headquarters, Gen. Bragg was the recipient of a letter from this officer, who stated that he had made application for further leave, and gave as his reason tbat while our army was further advanced he had bpcome engaged to a young lady from whom he had received a letter, which he enclosed in his. This delicate missive contained a sad and touching farewell to the young officer who had gained her affections.

She explained that since the enemy had gained her homestead they had destroyed her property, taken everything from hfer, and well nigh made her pennyless. When she had engaged herself to her lover she was tha possessor of property, and was in different circumstances. With this state things existing, hard as she felt would bo the trial to her, she bad determined to release the object of her affections from an engagement made in her This aobie missive was couched in such loving and gentle, though prudent and touching language, that it might well, have drawn tears frwtn the iron warrior to whom it was presented. The officer answered tbat the misfortunes of bis affianced had only the more endeared her to him, and this manifestation of her disinterested love and spirit had only inspired a stronger affection for so noble a woman. He desired a still further holiday that he might go to her and marry her, proving that his love was as pure as her own, and by making her his wife endow his property upon her in case be was made the victim of a bullet.

Gen. Bragg sent directions to his bureau officer to send him the communication so soon as it should arrive, and regardless of the endorsement "disapproved" made by officers unaware of the circumstances, he marked it "granted for thirty days," and endorsed upon the letter, "The lady is worthy of the best and bra vest soldior, and from what I leurn 1 believe you are worthy of the lady. Braxton Bragg. Shocking Outrage. Just as we go to press, we are informed that tbe Indian named John E.

Kaik, so known in this county, was on Sunday evening last forcibly seized and fastened before a hut fire prepared for tbe purpose, and was left there without clothing, until he was literally baked and burnt brown. The- perpetrators of the deed are known, but have nut yet lm-n arrested. Their leader is said to be a well known desperate character in the upppr part of this county, by the name of A. P. He is a man of notorious oovctousne-ss, but theft or plunder does not seem to have been the object of this inhuman act, as nothing was missing from the premises exee'pt little corn meal.

We will have full particulars in our next Rome Courier. 2C)th mst. What a "Shocking Outrage," and that, too, in this enlightened day and age, and in the refined and enlightened county of Floyd, Georgia, and too, we presume, in tbe neighborhood of Rome, and at the very door of the editor of the Rome Courier. We are in anxious suspense about the full particulars of this outrage. Will not the Courier enlighten us immediately? Let us know all the facts concerning this "Shocking and in the meantime forward us a nies Joney-Cake made of best Georgia meal, for our appetite is very covetous just about this Virginian.

Knoxville, May 15, PRESIDENT'S OFFICE, VIRGINIA TENNESSEE R. R. I Lynchburg, April 2d, 1863. NOTICE. erroneous impression prevails that the transportation of provisions is prohibited over this railroad.

Such is not the case. All supplies intended for private consumption have always been shipped upon application, and the only prohibition is that placed by the General Commanding the Department, whose object was to preserve them for the use of the army. This order he has always relaxed when applied to by private parties for bacon, for their own consumption, but has been so refused speculators, to prevent improper speculation in the necessaries of life. Notice is therefore given to parties needing provisions for their own use, that the same will be permitted transportation by the Commanding General, and win be at all times furnished by the road. Application will be made either to Mr.

Dodamead, General Superintendent, or myself, and transportation will be ordered. R. L. OWEN, President. April 10, 1863.

AOARD. To tJie Ladies of South-Western Virginia: THOSE who desire to render a valuable service to the country, and to confer a benefit upon the suffering soldier, are earnestly invoked to lend their aid to the Medical Department in extending the cultivation of the common garden Poppy, and tho preparation of Opium therefrom by the following easy process: A few days after the flower falls, horizontal are to be made on the pod or capsule, care being taken not to cut too deep so as to penetrate its cavity, a white juice flows out, which appears in the form of tears upon the edges of the incision. The juice is left in this state for twenty-four hours, after which it is to be scraped off with a dull or blunt knife. It should then be put into shallow vessels and kept until sufficiently hardened, when it is to be put in suitable vessels and forwarded to this Depot. All the different varieties of Poppy yield Opium, and may be raised for this purpose.

This is a light and agreeable service, and it is hoped that the ladies will lend their assistance. Should any one desire it, a liberal price will be paid for any quantity which may be delivered at this office. Any person having a surplus of Poppy seed, even in very small quantities, will be paid liberal price for them if delivered at this Depot Asst. Surg. Medical Purveyor, S.
