y his presence, the severe
and long continued afflictions of 'the mother that bare him,'
to meet the embraces of the fond sisters that loved him, and to
receive the gratulations of the inhabitants of this place, who
were proud to claim him as their fellow-citizen. Yes, his
generous spirit has gone! The war song has died away upon his
ear. By the thrilling notes of the clarion, which once prompted
him to deeds of valor, he is now unmoved! His body is silent
and still in 'the narrow house of all living.' He reposes, with
others of his valiant compeers, to await 'the sound of the
archangel and the trump of God.' But it is the consolation of
surviving friends to reflect, that, though he sleeps, and they
shall behold him no more, he has fallen in the arms of victory,
and in the common cause of his country and of mankind. His
memory will be for ever embalmed in the tenderest recollections
of his acquaintances. His loss will be deplored as a national
calamity; and we would reverently trust, that, before his
spirit took its returnless flight, as he had been educated in
the principles of the Christian faith, and knew to whom a
sinner has to go, if his soul is ever saved, from his bloody
bed of glory he raised his dying eyes and his supplicating
voice to that God who is no respecter of persons, but who is
rich in mercy unto all that call upon him, in whose presence
the rich and the poor alike meet together; with whom the high
and the low, the noble and the ignoble, stand upon the same
level, in the effulgence of whose holiness the lustre of the
hero is dimmed, who permits none to glory before Him, save in
the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with whom alone can
avail the sacrifice of a broken and a contrite heart."

From the New-York Evening Post.

"With emotions of indignation and unavailing grief, we find
from the following article, that one of our bravest American
officers and most valuable citizens, Lieutenant Commandant
Allen, has fallen by the merciless hands of the sea-robbers who
for several years have roamed the seas unchecked, fearlessly
plundered our vessels, and remorselessly assassinated their
crews with every species of barbarity that hellish ingenuity
could invent."
