The Cincinnati Times says, that "Maj. p. N. Bar
bour, Of the gallant officers killed at Monterey
was not--as we stated yesterday from the N. o.
Delta-of the 5th, but the 3d regiment of infantry
Capt Macrae, Of the same regiment, commanding
at Newport, writes us Of Maj Barbour, that ihis
virtues as man, and his fame as soldier, are proud
monuments, which his regiment will ever claim as
its heritage Most men are aware Of, though
scarcely any fully appreciate, the esprit du corps
which is one of the strongest feelings Of soldier;
added to which, the kindly sympathies of close
social communion and common danger, form q bond
of union, second to none other in strength. We are
pleased to see these attentions to accuracy for the
soldiers westh is his honor, and his fame his chill
dren's inheritance"


This brave officer distinguished himself in the bat.
ties of the Rio Grande. An intelligent correspond
ent, and kinsnan Of Maj. Barbour, writes us, from
personal knowledge that he was ga young man Of the
highes, worth and Of great promise. He was the
son Of Mr.. Mordecsi Barbour's youngest brother,
Philip Barbour, Of Culpeper, who moved to Ken
lucky with his father in 1899. The mother of this
young man consigned him, in 1923, to Messrs
Mark Alexander and John j. Barbour of vir-
ginia. They put him TO school in Georgetown,
District Of Columbia; and, in ls29 obtained a
CADETS warrant for him. His father was then
dead. He lost his life in the campaign oflSl3, with
Gen. Harrison, where he commanded regiment at
the Thames, and where he contracted the disease,
which, year or two after, ended his life. The
father was great favorite Of Me-. Madison, and he
was n the habit Of relating many suecdotss Of him,
some years ago" Ala
