Astoria, June 9, 1S79. Editor Astokiax : Will vou be kind enough to publish in your valuable journal the following sketch or the late John JJurUe aitd his daughter Emma, and oblige a comrade, who has served with him in the union army, during the war of the rebellion, and participated in forty-six en gagements with him, from the first Bull Hun to the surrender at Appomattox. John UurKe w:is born in the parish of Odni, in the county of Tipperary, Ireland, about the vcarls-JD. Landed in the city of New Orleans. Louisiana, in 1850. Enlisted in the United States army in 1SG1. YV:ls then married, his wife being the widow of an American soldier named Wallace, and was the first American woman to enter the city of Mexico after its surrender during the Mexican war. Also followed the fortunes of war with Mr. Burke. And I may here re mark that en the morning of the first of July, liWJ. while in oght of Malvern hill, and going in that direction, a shell from a rebel batten' bursted under the wagon cover, un der which herself and the late Emma were .seated, (Emma being tlien an infant). The driver being wounded slightly, and more scared than hurt, lied in horror from the sjKit, leaving team, woman and child, and w:ls never seen in his company after, but re ported at fortress Monroe for medical treat ment. Mrs. Burke then took the reins and drove her six mule team into camp, under a fire from the rebel batteries of .Mugredor, and w:is received with a shout of triumph by tne front of tne grand army ot tnc rotomac. After the war w:is over Mrs. Burke gave up the martial spirit to her redeemer, at Har per's Ferrv, Va., and was buried at that place with" military honors. John came to Fort Stevens in 1865, in October of that year, w hen that place was a wilderness, and toiled with the balance of the veterans of his late camiKiigns to make it one of the nicest posts on the Pacific slope. Both the late Mr. Burke and the writer served under its pres ent commander. Major Throckmorton, one of the bravest voting officers of the late war, and who alwavs had the confidence of the enlisted men, as well for his kind treat ment of them as for his gallant bravery in action; he having his father fighting against him at the first Bull Bun, and commanding the dreaded Black Horse Cavalry of Virginia, while Burke was in thearmy he home steaded the ph;ee where he met with his sad end, and from the manner in which the peo ple of Clatsop collected to pay their hist tribute ot resect to his remains, and that of his daughter, showed that he was as good a citizen as he was brave as a soldier. MissEmmr Burke was born at camp Up ton, irginia tune miles south of Alexan l ! ! 4lttMi.1i -t- lfia Y1-k 4-rt 1aatrvai thecnemv: nevertheless, went through tfic campaign and wis several times under lire, lu iwn. before starting from the ejust. ..sue w:is nlaccd in a convent by her father, and only lately arrived in this state from "Wash ington, to met also her sad end, and to de liver up her spirit with that of the father, by whom she was dearly loved. I have often nursed her in her infancy, and never thought it would lau lo my lot to ue cniei mourner, to do the last kind act to their mortal remains. May they rest in peace, There is consolation even in misery, and I shall for ever feel grateful to the people of Clatsop, and the good Astorians. for the m inner in which thev assisted, and the res pect they showed, to the last remains of my coiuitrvman and his daughter.
