. You suggest that a visit to the place of my nativity might be pleasant to me. Indeed it would, but would it be safe? Would not the people lynch me? That reports reflecting on his origin and descent should arise in a community in which he felt that his life was unsafe is by no means surprising. Abraham Lincoln, Regarding the definition of the names Lincoln and Hanks it is said, the first is merely a local name without any special meaning, and the second is the old English diminutive of Hal or Harry. the grandfather of the President, emigrated to Jefferson county, Kentucky, from Virginia about 1780, and from that time forward the former State became an important one in the history of the family, for in it was destined to be born its most illustrious member. About five years before this, a handful of Virginians had started across the mountains for Kentucky, and in the company, besides their historian, William Calk,--whose diary recently came to light,--was one Abraham Hanks.

It was on going out of the place that it occurred to me that someone had said that Hal's Mrs. Lyman's brother. regiment was there; so, as I passed a shipshape-looking camp, I asked, What regiment is that? Fifth Massachusetts cavalry, said the darkaides; we were expecting a fight, and I had no business to stop in a road where I could not again find him. Meeting Colonel Rowley, however, I asked him to see that Hal had everything and to say that I would be in that night to see him. We rode on along an almost deserted road, till we crossed the rail, when we came on Burnside's cs going out to Butler, but these were pretty much all. Nobody halted me, though I rode past a picket guard and through the breastworks. It was not till I drew near Hal's camp that his sentry roared out in a military voice, indicating much study of phonetics: Halt! Who goes there? Then came a corporal of the guard in due style. .

reat. On this letter the editor of the Virginian observes: It gives, we doubt not, an honest and truthful, as well as detailed account of the most disgraceful rout that our armies have suffered during the war. This unfortunate affair eclipses all the rising fame of General Floyd and ends the ill-fated campaign in Western Virginia in a blaze of glory for the Yankees. Yet the Examiner designates General Floyd as the hero of thirty engagements. Well may General Floyd exclaim, No more of that, Hal, an' thou lovest me. Lynchburg Virginian narrative. camp Cantonment Verina, Nov. 29, 1861. Mr. Editor: Perhaps you have not had a correct detailed account of General Floyd's retreat from Cotton Hill, although you may have heard various accounts about it. I was at Meadow Bluff at the time of the retreat, but soon after left there, and joined the brigade here two days ago, and have carefully taken notes from accounts of the retreat furnished me by various officers.

ubject, it is not at all surprising that the tariff should be hateful to his ears. Sir, if I had erected to my own fame so proud a monument as that which the gentleman built up in 1824, and I could have been tempted to destroy it with my own hands, I should hate the voice that should ring the accursed tariff in my ears. I doubt not the gentleman feels very much, in relation to the tariff, as a certain knight did to instinct, and with him would be disposed to exclaim, Ah, no more of that, Hal, an' thou lovest me! But, Mr. President, to be serious, what are we of the South to think of what we have heard this day? The Senator from Massachusetts tells us that the tariff is not an Eastern measure, and treats it as if the East had no interest in it. The Senator from Missouri insists it is not a Western measure, and that it has done no good to the West. The South comes in, and, in the most earnest manner, represents to you that this measure, which we are told is of no value to th

ny friends of Sergeant Henry C. Hanes his untimely death. To those who knew Hal Hanes, it is unnecessary to say that our whole company, at this time, is thrown into grief, which renders one incapable of giving a detailed account of the action in which he just his life. It is enough to say, that when his officer called upon one to volunteer to ascertain the exact position of the pickets of the enemy, which was a strong one and in rifle shot of 1000 men, he was the first to step forward to the post of danger.--Brave, noble Hal. His name will ever be the rallying cry for the "Governor's Mounted Guard." We all loved him. No one could know him without loving him for his many noble traits, If he had a fault, none of his company have ever discovered it. He lost his life in an which would have never been conceived but by the "bravest of the brave." His family have the heart felt sympathy of each of us, as the tears of many, unused to tears, showed, when we learned the sad news. Officer.
