CLARKSVILLE, Txxx., Dec. 28.—A row occurred on Christmas, between some drunken negro soldiers and citizens. A policeman interfered and struck a negro soldier with a club. The negro resented, using his bayonet. A crowd gathered, and Meek. Carnly,formerly a notorious guerilla, drew a revolver, and fired two shots at the soldiers,who then fired into the crowd. Two white men were seriously wounded, and one soldier slightly. Major Bond, agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, promptly quelled the disturbance, sending the soldiers to the fort; but they soon returned in large force; and a serious affair was threatened; but as Carnly had escaped out of the town, the excitement soon quieted , down. All has been quiet since, and no fears are enter tained of another difficulty. From Louisville LOUISVILLE, Dec. 29.—James S.

It was very largely attended and created great enthusiasm among the listeners. Since the introduction of these affairs the inmates are found to be much more tractable, while the quantity of permanent cures is largely on the increase. The "Haydn" is a private social institution and composed,so we learn, of Messrs. Maynley,:Aitkens, Graffand Ma gee, the leader being Mr. James F. Hope. They were assisted last evening by Messrs. Knox, Brown and Lane, instrumentally, and by Mrs. Dr. Gantt and Miss Emma Pennell, the leaders of the voluntary choir for the insane, as vocalists. Several of the performances were in costume and created quite a furore among the patients, who never seemed to enjoy themselves more than on this occasion. ROBBERY AND MYSTERIOUS RECOVERY OF THE MONEY.—The residence of Mr. An toine Bendel, No. 1337 Warnock street, was robbed of $950 in 11. S. Treasury notes, and jewelry valued at $l2O, on the 19th inst. A few days ago Mrs. Bendel paid a visit to a fortune teller, and after the payment of a fee of $2 50 was informed that if she made a search of the house the stolen property would be found. Mrs. Rendel returned to her home and at once commenced a thorough search of the premises. Beds, bureaus, drawers, closets, dc., and everything about the house underwent a strict examination. Finally, the overcoat of Mr. Rendel was looked into and in one of the side pockets the money was found and the breast pocket contained the missing jewelry. How the articles got there is a mystery. A CRAZY FREAK.—This morning, about 9 o'clock, considerable amusement was af forded to the passers along Chestnut street. by the appearance of an individual in front of the State House with an American flag wrapped about his person, a huge sword strapped at his side, and a musket over his shoulder. The man was evi dently insane, and he was taken to the Central Station, where it was ascertained that he was the proprietor Of a blacking manufactory on Chestnut street,and resided on South Fourth street. His friends were sent for and stated that his mind had been wandering for some days. His condition is attributed to disappointment in love; a young lady to whom he was engaged to be married, having broken her promise. The man was taken in charge by his relatives.

Intense Cold In Minnesota—Persons Fro zen to Death—Sheep Buried in a Snow Drift. The Milton (Minnesota) News gives an account of the probable death of four men in that vicinity, by freezing, on Tuesday of last week, the 12th instant. "Three brothers, whose names we have not learned, started together from Moyer's grocery, at White Walnut Lake, in the edge of Faribattlt county, for their home in Rice Lake township, Freeborn county, five miles distant, since which time they have not been heard from. They have been searched for in every direction in vain. The suppo sition is that they got lost, and per ished with cold, and now lie. buried in the snow on the prairie. A Mr. Tames Wood, of Rice Lake township, be tween 3 and 4 P.M. of the same day, started to go to a neighbor's, where his wife was visiting, a mile away, but did not reach the place. Mr. Wood has been tracked a dis tance of some twelve miles, but not found. his neighbors tracked him, first, in a south west direction, next in a northeast direc tion, and finally in a southeast direction to Znmbro Creek, where all trace of him was lost. We shall await with anxiety further news from these missing men. The storm of the 12th was much more severe than was generally supposed by those who were so tortunaie to be at home at the same time. We hear of many severe cases of freezing. Mr. Twist, of Charleston township, in the same county, had one hundred and forty sheep caught out in the storm: and entirely drifted under. In digging thetn nut he has found twenty-five dead, and there are a number not yet found. Something About Stamps. The contract for furnishing the stamps was given in Mill to the National Biink, Note Company, which now annually sup plies 220,000,000 more stamps than in the first year of the contract. During so far the Company has furnished Government 400,000,000 slams, and the demand has fre quently exceeded a million and a half per diem. The following will be read with in terest: The largest number ever delivered in one day being 5,923,896.

The value rpresented by these stamps is $3,207,199 50. The same writer says that ,the entire number supplied by the National Bank Note Company up to the present time is 1,300,000,000. To meet a demand so vast, the pressesare sometimes run night and day and to avoid error in accounts, a daily bal ance of the business is struck. In furnish ing this immense number—representative of a value of s4o,ooo,ooo—not a single loss involving censure to the Company has oc curred, and the stamps are printed, perfor ated.gurnrued and packed for delivery from the Company's office to all the U. S. Past Offices for 12 cents a thousand. Two festive individuals named Sage and Eaton, the twain composing a partnership in whose interest a line of railway is being built between Elyria and Oberlin, Ohio, have suddenly and mysteriously disap peared from the scene of their hitherto active labors, after having drawn a large sum of money due them for work previously per formed, and without disbursing the same, or any part thereof, to the persons in their employ, many of whom were in a very ne cessitous condition. The amount of indebt edness of Sage and Eaton is put at frotu $20,00 to $25,000 and The Elyria Drmotrat, our authority for the statement here made, pronounces this transaction of theirs the greatest swindle ever perpetrated in Lorain county. It was supposed, the de frauding contractors made their way to New York. THE great work of Gustave Dore, in illus traung the chief passages of Holy Writ is spoken of as a monument of his taste, power of execution. patience and reverential feel ing, The affecting picture of "The Delugo" is regarded as one of his noblest works. On a small rock that juts up sharply from the turmoil of waters women and children are clinging; and the beauty of the maternal ins+•iaet is enforced by the central form of a gaunt lioness, who holds aloft in her mouth one of her whelps, heedless of the naked human babes crouching as heedless of her.

Hughes was convicted at Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday, of murder in the first degree, for shooting Miss Tamzen Parsons, at Bedford (a few miles from Cleveland), on the 9th of August, 1865. The circumstances of the crime were peculiar. Dr. Hughes, a married man with one child, had settled in Bedford, where ho gained the affections of Miss Parsons, a girl of seventeen, and effected her ruin. They fled to Pitts burgh, in December, IS6-1, where a tbrged divorce was exhibited, and a form of mar riage gone through, and where Hughes was arrested for bigamy. He was sentenced to the Penitentiary, in Pelinsylvania, in January, but soon par doned through the agency of his deserted . Rife. The infatuation fortTamzen Parsons still strong upon him, he seut his wife and child to England, their native country, and continued his illicit suit; meeting, however, the opposition of Miss Parsons and of her family. Baffled, disgraced, and stung, to madness, he took to drink, and ended the complication in a murder committed in open day upon the main street of the village. Dr. Hughes is a man of thirty-nine years, of superior education and refined manners, and has borne himself through the trial with a firmness that was not shaken even by the dread sentence. MAGNIFICENT DONATION AND. ENTER PRISE.—One of the noblest and most judi cious acts of liberality and enterprise which has occurred in the present era, is the loan by the Adams Express Co. of $2,000,000 of its accumulated capital to several of the Southern railroads, to enable them to re sume operation. This company; by such donations, attests its great wisdom, and establishes new claims to the support and patronage of the people of the South. A like liberality on the part of other large capitalists, who are interested in our pros perity, would soon restore, nay, give a new and greater impulse to our ;progress and prosperity, and make the South what we believe it is destined in not many years to become, the most flourishing portion of this centinent.—N. 0.
