Ab. FEIMSTER, in the 20th year of his age. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and beloved by all who knew him. He entered the service as a private, was soon promoted to sergeant, and then to a lieutenancy by election. He was in seven severe battles; was wounded at Seven Pines, but soon recovered and returned to duty. The battles are fought, the race is run, and he is gone where the wicked cease their troubling and the weary soldier finds a rest.
