ARMY OF THE CIIMBERLIND.
[Correepoudence of The Press.?
HEADQUARTERS 12TH ARDIT Conrs,
DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
TULLAHOMA, Tenn., JAR. 2% 1961.
This morning, at sunrise, a long train of wagons
had formed into column extending half a mile across
the broad plain west of Tullahoma. It was cool
posed of teams from the infantry, artillery, and
cavalry commands stationed at tills place, and was
going into the country on a foraging expedition. In
a few days we expect to see it return well-laden
with hay and grain. By this means the animals of
the corps arc always well provided for; }besides, if

lines, relieving them for a time from the raonotorti,
of "winter quarters," and as there is a possibility.
of meeting an enemy, it is not without its excite
ments and dangers.
THE MULBERRY MURDERS.
It was while one of these expeditions was out that
the crime known as the mulberry murders was COM
mined. Five of the men aocompanying it mere
gelled by ruinous, and three of them shot and thrown
into a stream. All efforts to arrest the perpetrators
Of this horrible deed, or to obtain intelligence of
their whereabouts,' have been unsuccessful. The
most reliable information implicates some of the
citizens, and it is evident that such outrages are .
tolerated, if not aided and abetted, by all of Lincoln
county. The tax of thirty thousand dollars laid
upon the inhabitants within ten miles of the place
where the murder was committed is not as severe a
punistment as seem to be deserved, but is, perhaps,
as much as it is wise to impose by promiscuous as-
OMMOSt. General Slocum is charged' with the
duty of condoling this sum. Be Is an officer whose
executive abilities well qualify him for securing the
full amount. A list, embracing the names of one
hundred and forty residents within the district spe
cified, has been procured. If no additions are here
after made to this, the average required to be paid
by each person will be about two hundred and fifteen
donate. This money is to be distributed to the fa
mines of the murdered men. it is also determined
that, if the offenders are hereafter caught, they arc
to be summarily executed.
RE ENLISTMENTS.
The subject of re-enlistments still occupies atten
tion. The following veteran regiments, not pre.
vtously mentioned, have already departed, or will
do so in a short time : 109th Pennsylvania, nth
Ohio, and 'fBth and 102 d New York. All the regi
ments of this corps, except one, that have served
two years, and have, therefore, the privilege of
re. enlisting, have done so. It is also a remarkable
feature of General Slocum's command,' that many
who have lately joined the old reginiento as re
cruits have gone home on the condition that they
are to reenter the service as soon as tWO years of
their present term expire. This stipulation has
been put into a form that is binding on the parties
thereto.
CANVASSING
It is recommended in a Northern journal that this
period of inactivity be employed by the politicians
in canvassing the question of the next Presidency.
Whatever may be dune in civil circles, the soldiers
have not forgotten this interesting theme. Heated
discussions may be heard in quarters, at the depots,
or wherever the troops assemble. They recognize
the probabilities of Abraham Lincoln and George
B. McClellan being rival candidates. The hope is
frequently expressed that they may have an optior
tunity to testify that they are not as blindly attached
to McClellan as his partisans would have the court
try believe. The Army of the Potomac wall knoars
that its reputation Was injured throUgh the inabili-
ties of its first commander. Mr. Sambo Oontra•
band,' who has seen service at Manassas, on the Pe.
nicsula, and in the West, says: I use to tink dat
McCiellum was de greatest man Men', tint to hear

The New Rebel Plot Against Johnson's
TB/3 lOU TO gixrarne As A 12121131113 803 THB ATTACK•
Just now a bridge of solid ice forms our connec
tion with the adjacent torero parts, being the
Island of Pelee, Canada West, the broken off pro
longation of Point Pelee, and there, beyond all
question as well as bey and reach or interference of
our arms save through diplomacy, the rebels are
actually forming and gathering their ragged clans
with the avowed purpose of recruiting and releasing
the prisoners on Johnson's Island, off the city of
Sandusky. . ,
Probably a meaner and more dangerous class of
prisoners were never at any time elsewhere got to.
gether in the war. They are, in fact, the lesser
leaders and smaller lights of the rebellion—several
brigadiers ' many colonels and lesser officers, and,
altogether, they would count up very handsomely
on the cartel of exchange. The rebels wish to re
lease them, they themselves burn to be released,
and, per contra, this Government has taken such
measures that they cannot be released by aught the
rebels are trying to do. But they have a scheme of
mitchief on foot, and it is well to give a little of its
history.
About the middle of December it became evident
to parties at Detroit that there was something brew
ing in Canuokdom,'over the river. Squads of. des
perate, gaunt-looking fellows were constantly ar
riving by the Great Western Railroad, bearing the
unmistakable appearance of Southern rebel refu
gees. These infested Windsor and Sandwich and
Malden, and other Canadian towns on the Detroit
river, seeming to be part of an organization with an
object in view, and on more than one occasion,
when some of the crew would get in their cups, sig
nificant threats would be dropped al to What was in
store for the d—d Yankees over the water," or the
drunken threat would take a more open avowal,
that the Johnson's - Island prisoners were to be
rescued.
These facts gained such substantial shape before
.the minds of the Detroit officials that information
was sent to Washington, and, acting thereon, mea
sures of two classes were taken, both to know what
the rebels were doing, and to take heed that their
plans, be those what they might, should fail.
Under the first, a competent scout was sent from
Detroit down the Canada side of the river. About
the 26th of last month ho reported that in all from
seven hundred to twelve hundred desperadoes were
gathered at various points in Canada, under rebel
leadership, and under a concerted plan to attack and
overpower the Johnson Island guard, and rescue the
rebel prisoners; that these fellows were being ga
thered from throughout the provinces, where they
had fled from the South, and were desperate by ac
tual want, were the excellent and Suitable material
to carry out rebel plans. They were about half of
them armed only indifferently well, but arms were
continually arriving. This was conclusive proof that
the rebels intended mischief on our border, intend
ing the blow for the relief of the prisoners off this
city. This was the nature of the information sent
to Washington, acting upon which additional pre
cautions were ordered to be observed by the com
mandant here.
This officer is Colonel W. L. Pierson, of this city,
a gentleman of great worth and standing, appointed
mot commissioned by Governor Tod expressly for
the post he has been filling notably well since the
first establishment of the prisoners' camp here. He
ha. by dint of his vigilant and thorough supervision
of every detail, and the most careful employment of
his forces, made his guard of 300 men the adequate
guard of ten times that number of chafed and deeps.
rate mcn,'many of them commissioned officers in the
rebel service. But it was seen that the most dupe.
rate aspects of the situation made it imperative to
strengthen the force here. Accordingly, it was with
a feeling of relief, shared in by the citizens as well
as the guard of the island, that welcome -was given
to the skeleton brigade of General Terry, composed
of veteran New York and Pennsylvania troops,
fresh from service in Western Virginia, as they
came into this city a few days since. They are now
strongly posted at points to completely cover and
hold all access to the island.
A little arithmetic will show that the distance
from Sandusky to the nearest point of solid land in
the Queen'a dominions in Clanada West is about
twenty miles,] ut by means of the stepping atones of
interposed islands gives us no single wider water
space than nine miles, the distance from Kelley's Is
land (of vinous fame) to Pelee Island, distant about
one mile and a half from the point of that name. So
thit the water distance between United State. soil
and that of Canada is between Kelley's Island and
Pelee Island.
And now for the reason that our war excitement
does not „ winter kill," as the farmers say. Fre.
dimly because it has a winter basis: The whole wa
ter distancebetween the points above named, thanks
to the late cold weather, is frozen so solid that a
team of elephants tandem might be driven from.
Sandusky to Point Pelee. And it is upon this
bridge of lee that the rebels now base their hopes.
There are from 2,000 to 2,500 rebels and rebel mer
cenaries collected on Point Pelee and on Pelee Is
land, hungrily looking this way, and eager for a dash
on Johnson's Island.
The excitement alnOng the PrilOnera on John.
men , ' Island is intense ; but the best military men
among them are the least affected, for they know
the utter madness and futility of any such scheme
as crossing on the ice to their rescue. We have
now here, under General Terry, over three thousand
men, and the disposition of this force, and of the
heavy artillery, is such that were ten thousand men
to attempt the rescue, by the route indicated, not
one of them would return back alive, but all would
find, in the words of the old song—
We've got too. fez - from Canada,
Run, boys, run." ,
The troops now here, under General Terry, con.
*Mute a portion of General Sedgwiek's old corps,
and they are stout and tried fellows, who are spoil
ing -to see the ragged rebs come , across the ice.
There would be such a skating match as the world
has never seen. The defences of Johnson's Island
comprise a strong posting of guards and batteries
along the lake shore of the peninsula that forms the
bay within which -Johnson's Island is nestled.
TEE Us OP PETROLEUM IN TEE NAVY.—Chtlef
Engineers Wood, Whipple, and Sinners, of the
navy, have reported to Secretary Welles the results
of .experlmento upon a process for using petroleum
0111 as fuel for the generation of steam. These ex
perimente, extending over a period of five months,
show a percentage of 114.3 per cent. in favor of the
oils over anthracite coal for the production of
twenty pounds pressure of steam. Anthracite coal
of the best quality was used in the same boilers
alternately with the oils, and as nearly as possible
under precisely the same conditions and circum
stances ; and accurate determinations were made
ac to time, pounds of water evaporated per pound of
coal and per pound of oil respectively, from water
of known temperature. The results gave for the
crude petroleum an evaporatie of 10.86 pound. of
water per peund of qil, or in the proportion of
23,206.4 pounds per tot ; and for the mean Of the
best authracitezeoal 6.1 pounds of water per pound
of coal, or in proportion of 11,424 pounds water per
ton of coal—being a higher evaporation in favor ofthe
petroleum of 103.1 per cent. In the same boiler—with
a percentage of 114 3 in favor of the oil in the time
required for generating steam. These results are
remarkable, but the engineers who conducted the
experiments fail to report upon the comparative
coat of using coal or oil. Until this part is decided,
the important question of economy remains unde
termined. Thq.seport recommends a continuance
of the investigation.—N. Y. Evening Post.

Resistance to the Rebel Conscription.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT WEST VIRGINIA,
Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1864,
Gen. Sullivan has just informed Gen. Kelly, front
Harper's Ferry, that Mis scouts have returned with
Richmond papers of the 221 inst. These papers say
that Jeff Davis' house was robbed and fired. This
is very significant. The tire was discovered in time
to save the building,
Major Quinlan, of the Ist New York Cavalry,
Who commanded the scouts, reports bands of men
forming to resist the rebel conscription.
Dr. Snyder, of Romney, a man of Welhknown se•
cession proclivities, has just been arrested by order
of Colonel J. M. Campbell, in command of tile post
at Cumberland, on charges not yet made public.
Dr;sryder was arrested whilst in the sot of pre
paring to go without our linee. On the prisoner
were tOuntr several letters, some of them addressed_
to persoles in the rebel service, and others addressed
to ladies and gentlemen known to be rebel sym
pathizers. These letters treat on military, family,
and business Subjects, and some of them show to
what straits opulent families of Virginia have been
reduced by causes incident to the rebellion.
- One letter that the prisoner was smuggling out is
worthy of particular attention. It is dated from the
office of Drs. R. and J. Hunter, physicians, at No.
832 Broadway, New York, and treats of something
forwarded to Miss Mary Wilson, of Virginia. The
letter in itself contains nothing of a directly contra
band eh:praetor ; but, from the fact that the Govern
ment must look with suspicion upon all persons
whose letters are thus found upon rebel mail carriers
and rebel sympathizers, the cause of this public
notice will be conceived.
Another letter tells us a secret .or two in regard
:to a dashing rebel officer, Gen. crlimore. The /otter.
Was written on the 21st, by a youbg lady of distinc
tion in Baltimore, and is addressed to Edward
Gutting*, of the rebel Gen. Jones' brigade. It say.:

General Destitution—Hostility to the Con.

Alexander Stephens, Lying
A gentleman who has spent several years in Ma
eon, Georgia, where he was engaged in business, and
who recently escaped by means of a passport per-
Mitring him to visit Europe, reached Newark, New
Jemmy, where his friend. reside, a few days since.
life account of the condition of affairs at the South
fully confirms the reports lately received from refu
gees and the public journals. The rebellion, he de.
Glares, is an utter failure; even the leaders see that
success is out of the question,
while the common
people would hail with delight the restoration of the
Federal authority.
On the day this gentleman left Macon, one of the
principal bankers of the place said to him "Oar
only hope now is that the Federal army will deliver
us from our troubles; for,
without that interven
tion, we must perish ." The utmost destitution
everywhere prevails ; _ actual - starvation is at the
doors of hundrede of the poorer classes, and even
those who supposed themselves, from their posses
sion of large means!, beyond the reach of want, have
found themselves reduced to comparative poverty.
The 'rebel authorities are enforcing the conscrip
tion in ail parts of the South with pitiless energy,
forcing into the ranks men of all ages and condi
tions. Even gray-haired old men, so enfeebled by
age that a month's privations in camp or field must
put them in their graves, are snatched up by the
officers of conscription, and the proposition recently
made in the rebel Congress by Senator Brown, to
tome into the service every person in the "Confede
racy" over the age of sixteen years, is literally car
ried out. This wholesale conscription has necessa
rily occasioned the greatest suffering, leaving entire
families and communities without any means of de
fence or subsistence, and producing chaos and mise
ry everywhere.
The greatest ignorance is said to exist among the
people generally as to the condition of affairs at the
North. They are told that our people are subjected
to a cruel despotism ; that there is no liberty of
rpeech or action ; that the Government means to
destroy the entire population of the South; • and
that were the Southern people at this moment to
abandon their contest they would be punished by
the tevereat penalties that nialignity could invent.
But even this, we are told, would not prevent a de
sertion of the rebel cause by the great mass •of
people were opportunity afforded them ; they would
gladly run all risks, and cheerfully submit to the
worst that might await them, if they could only
escape the rigors of rebel rule.
'IRE REBEL PAPERS, ETC.
In the Confederate Senate on the 18th a resolution
was passed approving the action of the Government
with regard to the outlawry of General Butler, and
the determination of the rebel authorities to hold
no communication with him. The Richmond Whig
of the 19th says that a financial bill, regulating the
currency, passed the - Rouse on Saturdhy, and that
the Senate on the same day, in secret session, finish
ed Ha labors on the Military bill. This action it
says. is unknown to any but a favored few outside
the Hans of Congress. The Whig has a curious and
significant article deploring the decay of the gallant
Southern race who entered the war so brilliantly
three year. ago. It says that they are all gone, and
if they do not come back again the "game is up. l3

Letter from Hon. E. W. Ga ntt.
WAStfINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20 1869.
MY DRAII Sin : Your very kind letter of Dec. 6,
directed to me at Little Lock, reached me at thin
place today.
You will perceive it was a long time going, for it
had not reached me when I left home, on the Mb
December. It seems long, but think one year ago.
It could not have gone there at all. Now, it is not
so far to Arkansas. And we are getting still nearer.
And warm as has been the embrace of our "wild
:Western State " and your , great metropolis in by
gone years, and bitter as has been the terrible strug
gle in our nation, our people, just preparing to write
up the decree of divorce from negro slavery, will rush
to meet you with a warmer and more cordial embrace
than ever.
With [proper assistance our State Will be again in
full fellowship with her sister States in four months;
and under an antislavery Constitution. I have no
interest in misrepresenting. I am no politician.. I
would not have an office. I mean what I say. I be.
lieve lam an honest man. I want peace—a perma
nent peace—a speedy peace. It cannot come but by
the sword. Oh, now bitterly it wrings my heart to
say so. Yet it is so, and this is likewise true, that
the more men in the Held, the more determination
and unity displayed, the shorter the struggle, and
the less Buttering and sorrow inflicted.
Ido not deny that I love the South; that every
blow inflicted on it agonizes me ; but I love my
country, and love order, and love republican institu
tions, and would have all preserved, and I see but
one way to do it. The war must be pressed with
vigor, the redeemed territory reorganized, and its
shattered society built up. And, above all, we must
let negro slavery be removed at once. Its death is
inevitable. Let it be as easy as possible. Ito death
will be new life to our nation. To the, poor and to
the capitalists, it opens up a new country, that is
like the discovery to them of a new continent.
Thanks tor your words of cheer, and generous
sympathy and encouragement. Ido heartily appre
ciate it.
yours truly, E. W. GANTT,

The Cora Hatch-McKinley Case.
(To the Editor of the Herald.]
It le with reluctance that I refer in this manner to
my personal matters ; but an assault has been made
upon my chlwacter and person, and silence from me
is not compatible with proper self.respeot. Through
the columns of your paper of the 20thult., and other
wise, these charges have appeared, and Isimply beg
the presentation of the following-nommen% which
speak for the/twelves, and a statement of a few facts,
to Which I call your attention: •
First. By the subjoined articles of agreement and
deeds of conveyance I have provided my wife and
family with the proper means of subsistence, far be.
yond what the laws would have allowed her.
Second. From February 20, 1861, when the lepers
tion (a mensa et thorn) took place, until June 13, of
the, same year, I continued to reside in the same
houie with my family, when I was actually expelled
by my wife's attorney (see letter of Chauncey Sheat
fer subjoined), while I was suffering, too, from ex
treme lameness and physical dianbility, 1%3 I can
prove by Dr. Archer, of Brooklyn, my physician.
Third. It is absolutely Wise that I have ever in
any manner, abused, beat, or maltreated my wife.
Fourth. Since June 13, 1861, I have resided in my
place of business, and attended to my usual pursuits,
and do not, as is alleged, reside in .East Broadway,
as is well known by my friends and the persons in
my employ. Any interested individual can call on
me to be satisfied on these - points.
Furh. I have lived in New York, man and boy,
for more than forty years ; have occupied my pro
lent place of business for thirty year.. I owe no
man, and have faithfully discharged my duties as a
citizen ; am fully competent to transact any busi
ness " in ray line," and simply ask permission to
spend the remaining portion of my life in quiet, and
attend any place of public instruction I please.
Very respectfully,

These words record some remerkabld facts. The
first Mien of the civil war In America wits to check
emigration to that country, and even to draw some
of its population away from it. A few families, it
wee said, actually returned to England in dismay,
while many crossed the /lOW/fern frontier and took
refuge in Canada from coming troubles. Deft this
result, though natural in ittelf; was of no great du
ration. The demand for men , . quickly enhanced the
value of the supply, The dram WI the war rendered
labor scarce, and exigencies of military service
opened immediate and attractive engagements to
the immigrant. A bounty of £lso' down, and an al
lotment of laud in prospect, constitute inducements
enough to outweigh the other contingencies of cam
paigning. So the stream of emigration, as Mr. Lin

There is nothing i etirprise - ue in the. results thur

men, of whom it is computed that faillyooo‘lloo have

As a practical illustration of these conclusions we•
publish elsewhere a detailed account of the emigre.-
lion from Liverpool during the year just passed.
Let us first premise that in 1862, when the feeling of:
alarm still preponderated, the emigrants from that
port were but 64,314 in number—a fact which will
at once enable us to appreciate the statistics of 1863.
Last year these numbers were 137,091; so that the
rate was more than doubled.iThat the vast majority
of these emigrants were steerage paesengera, that
they were of 'fish extraction, and that their dead.
nation was the United States, are all facts of simi
lar significance; but there are one or two deductions
suggesting more special notice. It is perfectly clear,
from the ebb and flow of the stream, that the force
at work ban been attractive, and not repulsive;
in other words, that Irishmen have left their na
tive land in greater numbers. than usual; not
because their own home wail lens tolerable, but
because their new home appeared more - desira
ble than before. At first they were scared by
the aspects of the war, and emigration slackened;
then they discerned that whatever the war might
do ultimately it would better their lot materially for
the time, and emigration commenced anew. Next,
we may observe that this influx of men, however
convenient it may have proved to the Northern
GoVernment, can only have contributed in a small
proportion to the maintenance of the Federal
armies. It appears that about 60;000 Irish sailed to
the United States from Liverpool, and it is com
puted that 26,000 more were carried to the same
destination from Irish porta of call. Perhaps, upon
the whole, we may conclude that as many as 100,000
persons were transported from Ireland to Arnerloa
in the course of the year. But this, even imagining
them to be all adults of military age, and all disposed
to take service, would only give a supply of some
2;000 men a week, whereas the waste of the Federal
armies was recently declared by a New York states.
man to amount to 1,000 men a day. If we talcs the
two years,lB62 and 1863, together, we shall linerthat
some 200,00 persons emigrated from Liverpool to
the States—a supply from which only a moderate
contribution Could be made to a levy of 1,500,000
Men.
The Cobden Court Martial.
(Punch has of late years lost its independent
humor, and the ready jester has become an appur
tenance of the London Timm. In the following
we do not see the people's Punch, but the ICing'it
Fool :)
The Court Martial of Public Opinion, which has
been sitting for so many days to try Mr. Richard
Cobden upon the charges below stetted, having con.
eluded its inquiry, and haying decided upon its sew
tame, and the latter havingbeen dilly referred to
Mr. Punch for approval, the result may now be pub.
itched.
1. That the said Richard Cobden did gratuitously,
and without leave had and obtained, interfere in a
question which chiefly a ff ected one John Bright, of
Birmingham.
2. That the said Richard Cobden did so interfere
in a coarse and intemperate manner, bringing un
founded charges against several persons known and
unknown, in retaliation for an alleged offence
against the said John Bright.
3. That the said Richard Cobden did manifest a
desire to degrade the English Press to the level of
that of America.
4. That the said Richard Cobden did fabricate an
allegation that the English journals are written by a
person called 1 . , Anonsmous," there being no such
person in existence.
b. That the said Richard Cobden is in complicity
with the maid John Bright, and a knot at noisy but
obscure individuals, to array class against class,
and to persuade the illiterate that they era op
pressed.
6. That the said RiChard Cobden, in similar com
plicity as above mentioned, desires to arouse the Il
literate Wanes to revolution, in order to a seizure of
the lands of the rich and a division thereof among
the poor.
EEC=
The Court of Public Opinion, with the approval
Of Mr. Punch, doth find the maid Richard Cobden
guilty on the first charge, but with extenuating cir
cumstances.
The court doth find the said Richard Cobden guilty
on the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 6th charges.
The court doth wholly and honorably acquit the
said Richard Cobden on the 6th charge, but considers
that he is indiscreet in addressing a certain kind of
language to those whom he deacribes as the most
illiterate people in Europe.
SUNTIINCIE
The court cannot help taking into consideration
the eminent service rendered by the said Richard
Cobden in the matters of the Corn Laws and the
French Treaty. It also makes allowance for his in
firmity of temper, and for a certain petulance and
arrogance produced by his having attained public
dictinction without the usual previous preparation.
It is mindful of the fact that his mind has not been
cultivated by classical or logical education, as shown
by his declaration that the number of a journal called
the Times was worth "all the works of Thucydidea,”
and his subsequent declaration that he never reads
the said journal. Taking all circumstances into con
-Sideratlon, the court doth pronounce the following
neaten**, namely
That the said Richard Cobden do cause the Tian'
newspaper to. be regularly delivered at dais house,
and do regularly read the same (advertisements, beg
ging letters, and epistles from persons 'excepted)
for one year. That he do discontinue the perusal of
his own journal, the Morning Slav, until that jour
nal of religion and prize lights ceases to be an imita
tion of the vulgar press of America. And that the
maid Richard Cobden do, at sal leisure hours, and
convenient seasons, try to cultivate a little jollity
and good feeling, and a belief that a publicist even
though he writes like a gentleman, and not like an
American journalist, May possibly be as good II fel
low as the said Richard Cobden would have been if
he had not been spoiled. PUNCH.
A New Gretna .Greelt.
[From the Wheeling Intelligeneer.3
It is well knoWn that from time immemorial our
neighboring town of West Alexander, Pennsylva
nia, has been regarded as the Gretna Green of this
section ofcountry. Ourfriend. Esquire J. E. Mayes,
of that place, has furnished us with an ancient book.
in which his father, now deceased, kept the record
of the "runaway marriages' , solemnized by himself
during the thlrty.oad years that he acted as magis
trate, - nom poet= eth, init, to June. 1814.
Esquire Isaac Mayes married at - West Alexander
929 couples, most of whom were united against the
consent of parents.. . At least one-half of the number.
were from this city and county, and among the
names recorded in tad book we notice many of our
citizens who are now quite prominent in the social
and commercial world, and whose sons and daugh
ters have lived, bloomed, loved, and gone and fol.
lowed the example of their parents. Mr. Mayer, Sr.,
was in many respect., a very remarkable man. At
the time of his death, in 1844. an obituary notice ap
peared in the Washington Reporter, of Which the fol.
lowingls an extract:
The SUbjeet of this obituary was born - in Adams
county, Pa., March 6, rill, a year after the De
claration of Independence; and when but a boy, his
parents removed to this county, and near tOlhis vil
/age, when, as yet, thatountry was disturbed by the
marauding. of the savage. He had lived for 88,
years in this township, 33 of which were spent in
publics services, as alustice of the peace, to the ge
neral satiefaction of the community. It is said that
none of his "judgmentOwere ever reversed in the
county courts. To the litigious and quarrelsome, he
_tendered many salutary advice' ; and though the in
flexible advocate OfjUttice, When called to ant in
the capacity Of kludge, yet he would often interpose
between disputants, as a peacemaker. To the poor
he often showed his generosity and sympathy by
forgiving his fees, and frequently used all the pre
caution in his power to prevent litigations and the
accumulation of cost on those "sued at the law."
He was a man of strictly temperate habits all his
life, and to this Was owing, in part, his general
health and a vigorous Constitution.
we presume that Mr. Mayes, during his life, made
more people happy or miserable than almost any
roan that ever lived. Young people came to him at
all hours of the night and in all sort. of weather, on
foot, on horseback, is carriage., sleds, and under all
cireumftance". His patrons represented all condi
tlons of life and all colors of skin, and the history
of the adventure s and mishaps of the lovers would
make an almost endless volume. Sometimes the
'Squire would receive a dollar, sometimes two dol.
hire, sometimes three and occasionally live for his
services, according to the means and disposition of
the persons, and those who had no money got the
lob done for nothing.

The First Flag on Lookout Mountain.
BRIDGEPORT, Ala., Jam 19, 1861
To the Editor of The Press:
SIR On several occasions, in reading your paper,
I have noticed that the 29th Regiment P. V. re•
calved the honor of being the host regiment to plant
its flag on the top of Lookout Mountain. More
particularly was my attention called to this matter
in reading the eloquent address of Charles J. Stifle,
Esq., delivered on the occasion of the banquet
given the 29th, on the sth instant. Far be it
from me to detract a particle from the just reputa
tion of any regiment, more especially from one
coming from my own State, and wearing with me
the same corps badge, the well-known " White
Star." But, sir. in a cause like the one we are .at
present engaged in, let honor be given where it is
due. The "29th” has done its duty faithfully
and well, and, if circumstances had been,
ferent, undoubtedly it would have been, as air.
Stills remarks, " drat among the foremost to plant
their banner on the summit of Lookout Mountain."'
But circumstances prevented their so doing, and
the standard of the ath Kentucky first crowned old!
Lookout's hoary head, and caused that wild, exult
ing, ringing shout, which, taken up in Chattanooga,
passed from line to line, and from regiment to regi
went,nntil the very mountains appeared to join in
the general rejoicing, and tO lend their echoes to
swell the cheer of victor y.
Surely the gallant "29th" will be unwilling to
wear among their laurels one single leaf to which
they are not justly entitled. Let us, then, give to
the Bth Kentucky the praise and credit they strug
gled so sternly and bravely to win, and rejoice in the
consciousness that although Pennsylvania's banner
was not the first planted on the stormy heights, vet
the one which Hosted so proudly there was the flag
of our country, the emblem of our nationality, which
all true and loyal men, be they from Kentucky or
Pennsylvania, come they from New Englan.d•or the
far West, are striving to uphold and bear forward to
honor and victory. Very respectfully,
"ORDNANCE,"

another explosion f0110wed.;,..... and still another.
Several parties were stunned by the via

and found the body of one of the clerks, Paul Hoff
