jauntly, over my forehead, and flinging my
fine long mantle gracefully about me,
made way through the hall into the street.
Attracted by the shining lamps of the
portico of a new hotel, a few squares from
my first lodgings, I entered, recorded some
name on the books and bespoke a bed.—
Everything was fresh and neat, every ser

myself closely cloaked, puffed a citss, and
retired to bed to mature my plot.'
" Walter, just brush my clothes:well, my

and most influential of the Methodist de

nioniuntion in Illinois. When that body
.established s female educational school in
Jacksonville with such talent anti success
that when a greater edueati3nal enterprise
was projected he was transferred to it. He
was - engaged, in this when the rebellion
commenced. Colonel Jacques woe a man

the fl ew in behal fof the Union, and speedily
raised one of the finest regiments that 111i
noili gave to the service of the Union. It
was called the preachers' regiment, on ac
count of the number of preachers enlisted
in it. Of this regiment Jacques was made
colonel, aid he served with great distinc
tion.
During the progress of the war Colonel
Jacques had numerous conferences with
Bishop Simpson, and both were well satis
fied that if a Methodist of proper positions
in the North o°ol get among bite Southern
Methodists much might be done towards
crippling the rebellion. ThisWiission Colo
nel Jacques bravely met the, peril, and
traveled,, extensively among the Southern
Methodists. He returned just before the
battle of Chickamauga and took a conspi
alone part In the battle.
Colonel Jacques was the companion of
Mr. Gilmore in a visit to Richmond for an
interview with Jiff. Davis, In which mis
sion they succeeded. This visit was In
tended to bring about peace.
The Colonel has recently been detailed
for breaking up the negro Camps such as
Camp Nelson. This is the 'cause of hie
presence in Kentucky.
On Friday last Colonel Jacques employed
a fellow calling himself Dr. H. G. Miller, to
procure abortion in the case of a Georgia
woman. The Colonel was present doring
the tragedy, and was arrested with the
female abortionist, at whose hOusa the
murder was committed, and with Miller,
the abortionist--the murder of innocents.
'Plertictim died in eight...hours after Miller
commenced his depredations. Tee whole
party were arrested in flagrant delieut, and
are now in jail, the coroner's inquest having
amply confirmed i all the suspicions that led
to the-interference of the police. Mr. Tur
ner, the policeman, saw signs of the out
rage In progress, and made his preparations
for arresting the parties, in which, as we
said, he succeeded. We do not rejoice in
iniquity, and we canna but - drop tears of
sorrow over the fall of such a man as Colo
nel Jaoques.—From the Louisville Press.
GREELEY AGAIN ADVOCATES SECES-

sentiments, it is said, were feebly applaud,

The Minnesota Press stigmatises this as

represented her as a "persecuted Union

whom he had married. Of course the 'loyal'
in the Neighborhood went into estacies over
the hero Heller and his Southern bride.
They went into this best society, parties
were given them, they attended - Tait . 111Thli,

It seems that Tabitha Jane—the name of

avowed Intention of visiting some friends in
Memphis; but instead shf eloped wi th Hel

She concluded to return with him to the
house she had made desolafe she therefore
forsook her white paramour, and started
back on Saturday morning with lawful

to hang himself, or.hunt another wench, or
go somewhere and learn to be a better man.
Before leaving, Itryant entered sail
