L. Mobley of Tattnall county, Georgia) was called to follow his brother into the eternal world. He died At Unionville, Va Sept. 27th, of typhoid fever, in the I8th year of his age. Thus again are fond parents made to mourn the loss of a loved one- He was a brave soldier and noble youth; enlisting when quite young in the defense of his country in her momentous struggle for liberty, bearing cheerfully all the privations and hardships of camp life; until disease, from fatigue and too great exposure, brought him to an untimely grave. William possessed a mind of rare worth, remarkable for solidity and perseverance and bade fair to become a useful and honorable member of society. But, alas ! he like many other noble youth, have fallen martyrs to their country. His warm and generous heart and cheerful disposition gained for him many true and lasting friends, and his memory will long be cherished in the hearts of those who now mourn his untimely death. He is missed at the home circle, where loved ones meet to weep for him; their lost one; he is missed at the camp-fires where oft before he shared the toils of camp-life with his fellow-comrades. Alas ! he is with them no more; his work is done and he is at rest forever with his God. A BROTHER.
