"For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." After the reading of this, the Rev. Mr. Talbott, he whom General Nelson had sent for immediately upon being shot, and who had administered to his spiritual welfare, and received him into the Church, delivered one of the most beautiful and eulogistic discourses I ever heard. He said that the General had been, in private life, one of the most congenial and warm-hearted of men; his hand ever open to the needy. He had known him well. The last half-hour of his life was devoted entirely to the salvation of his soul; he did not refer to worldly matters. Mr. Talbott told him he must forgive all whom he thought had injured him. His reply was, "O! I do, I do forgive--I do forgive. Let me," said Nelson, "be baptized quick, for I feel I am fast going." Mr. T. then administered to him the sacred rite, and in a few minutes, conscious to the last, smiling and serene, he passed to "that bourne from which no traveler returns." "A more contrite heart and thorough Christian resignation," said the divine, "I never saw." The discourse over, the body was conveyed again to the hearse. Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, of the 6th Ohio, had command of the escort, which consisted of two companies of the 2d Ohio, and two companies of the 6th, all being from his old and tried division. No relatives, I believe, were here, except Captain Davis, a foster-brother, belonging to the 2d Minnesota Regiment. General Nelson's gray horse was led immediately behind the hearse, the General's boots reversed and fastened in the stirrups. An artillery company and cavalry squadron completed the _cortege_, which moved slowly down Second Street to the beat of the muffled drum. He has gone to his long home! Though rash and impetuous at times, we must not forget our country has lost a noble defender, a man of true courage--one who was looked up to by his division. To-day he _was_ to join them; and as I went through the old Fourth Division, last Sunday, the boys were all in a jubilee, because Nelson was going to be with them, and they remarked, "If he is along, he'll take us where _we'll have fighting_!" As I have before told you, everywhere Secessionists are rejoicing at his death, and Kentucky ones especially. The Union men of Kentucky have lost a noble defender. Yesterday General Rousseau's division of ten thousand men was reviewed. They are a splendid body of men. There will be no examination of Jeff C. Davis before the civil authorities, but the affair is to be investigated by a court-martial.
