OF REBEL CRUELTY.- - mong the visitors at the Freedmen's Bureau on Monday, soliciting relief was a . foot less negro, whose story almost surpasses belief were it not-that its authenticity is established beyond a doubt by corro borative.evidence. His story, in sub stance, is as follows: "Just previous to the breaking onto f the war, he was employed by a Dr. Lee, living, near Washington, in- Maryland, who compensated him for his services, , he being a freeman.. In 1849 the negro was persuaded by the Doctor to accom-• pony him to Georgia, from which State he afterwards removed to Tennessee, wher3 he kept the Knoxville Hotel. In the, town of that name, in 1863, this same Dr. Lee hired the negro to a Capt. N. G. Gammon, a Quartermaster in the Confederate States army at J onesbo-. rough. Here he was employed for eight or ten months, when he attempted to escape to our lines, in doing which he was apprehended and returned to Capt. G., who immediately took him in Pers on to Dr. Williams, in charge of the general hospital at that place, and or dered him ( Dr. W.,) to amputate the legs of the ' d—d nigger,' to prevent him from running away. 7n compliance with this demand 'his iegs were that night amputated just- aboie the ankles; and his legs left undressed by the sur geon. hi the morning Dr. W., on visi ting,the hospital, found the negro still alive, and after expressing his, surprise with an oath said that he had intended to*kill him. He then ordered the negro to the house .. of, an old slave woman, where the negro was, found recovering from the aniputation, on the entry of our troops,',', BEAUTY IN W MIEN.-A beautiful face and ffgure are the two thinge in a wom an that first attract the attention of a , man. The second is a fine taste, both in dress and habits, and the third is commonsense. What, a man most. dis likes in a lady is untidiness, slovenly habits and affectation. There is a me dium between prudery and relaxed. be havior, which a man appreciates almost by instinct. Place a man of genial dis position, with a disengaged heart, in the society of a woman of beauty, sense and spirit—not too much of the latter— and the chances are of immediately fall ing desperately in, love. The . poor wretch cannot avoid it,,and in his fran tic efforts to escape he falls on his knees at her feet and avows the might and majesty of her beauty. All you have to do will 'be to treat the path. fel . low as kindly as you can, and make no effort to pleasehim. Let nature have her oWn Wise way, and, depend ppon it; you will be fondly pressed to the' warm bosom of 1301110 generouslearted fellow. ar A Saratoga correspondent says "So far as beard from, the matrimonial market stands thus : Old stock married off; none ; old stock hopeful of success, 1 ; widows of first-class married, or soon will be, 10 ; widows of second class, married or soon will be, 15 ; young la dies married, 17 ; engaged, and day fixed for wedding, 95 ; betrothed, and gone to get consent of paterfaiaali as, 67 ; still billing and cooing, 99 ; matches broken up by stern parients, 11 ; come together again, 3—but they have to dodge" pa rient ; in love, but not reciprodated, 37 ; no one to love, 49 ; elopements, 1 ; pri vate marriages, 2. gier "What a fool !" said Patty Prim, when she heard of the capture of Jeff.

B.EX:2.',: - : .1865,i Scene in a Treedman's Court It is very -difficult fo,r the . white - men , , of Tennessee:to-learn that ‘ colc;red men have 'rights w i hich they are bonnd.to spect, but they are taking ,lessons now from 'Courts of Justice established by GenerafFiek, Assistant boramissioner of the Freedman's Bureau. ''A . very in structive and quite amusing lesson was given the other day. An old and high ly respected citizen of Giles county, , named Abernethy = a good _Methodist, by the way--refused to pay his colored laborers the wages he bad agreed to pay them, and, as a last resort, two of the most intelligent of his employees came into the Freedmen's Court, made oath to the contract and to the fact of nod payment, and an order was, accordingly issued to bring the venerable patriarch into court to answer. When the order reached the old gentleman he was as tonished.l3eyond measure and, doubtless would not have deigned to respond to it haitnot a guard - been present to en force it. His neighbors of course, were greatly excited. The venerable old Abernethy arrest ed and ordered to report forthwith at Nashville! Dispatches were sent to the city,-and When he arrived he was met at the depot and escorted to Gen. Fish's headquarters by a respectable body of old citizens whose woe-begone countenances indicated the deep dis gust and horror which swelled their chi valrous bosoms. Arrived at headquar ters Abernethy—ls this Gen. Fisk ? Gen. F.—Yes, sir. ' • should like to know what 1 am brought liere for. Gen. F.—Very well, give me your name and I can probably fnforin you. A.—illy name is Abernethy, sir. - Gen. F.—Abernethy. Yes, I remem ber. Two citizens of Giles county, neiglbors of yours, Mt. A. have appear ed and'made oath to a very grave com plaint against you. - A.—Oitizens o f Giles county . ! N e igh bors of mine ! ! Good heavens who can it be!!! "I will read the declaration," said the General, as he took the- document from a pigeon hole and began : "Joseph and Paul A.bernethy, of the county of Giles, in the State of Tennessee, being duly sworn, do- testify," etc., etc. As the reading proceeded, the old gentlemen's eyes fairly bulged out, and be looked the very picture of amazement. At length, tinable to restrain himself any longer, he exclaimed, "Lor'< bless my soul, General, therriarn't my neighbors, them's my niggahs." "You are mistak en, Mr. A.;" replied the,generul, "there are no such persons-in Tennessee now as 'your niggers;' -Joseph and Paul Abernethy are citize'ns - of Tennesseb, and one of them claims even it nearer relation to ycio ;Wand the striking resein blame he bears to you gives counte nance to the claim," This home thrnit cut the old man to the heart, and he covered his face with his•hands, bowing his head for eonie timd. At length he said : "Well, Gen eral; What are you going to do about it ?" "I am going to do justice," he re plied. "Do you owe these' gentlemen, the amount they claim ? 'lf you do, You must pay it." . The . ' old gentleman came down, at once, acknow.ledged the debt, and prom ised to Call and settle it the next day. The next day he came, paid the debt in full, and entered into a written contract with his employees for the future. Another caso illustrates the per7ert, ed moral sense of , many of the people. A daughter of Hon. Felix Grandy came into court to produre an order for the return of "her nigger "—a little girl Of ten or twelve years, a girl she had rais: ed from infancy—who had been taken away from her and brought tO the city by its cruel father! The lady really seemed to think' that a black parent who would take away " her nigger " and ex- pose it even for a day to the contamina ting society of the , freedmen of Nashville, was a barbarian, a brute—almost a devil 1 Cases of this kind, and they are .of hourly occurrence in the South, should convince the most skeptical people of the North that it will never do to com mit the colored people of the South to the care of the white people. cu.

Wheeling people call things by their right name—Whisky is familiarly known there as "Busthead," and Ginger Pop as "Rattle-belly-Pop." Some stupid editor says : " if a fee of fifty cents were charged to see the sun rise, nine-tenths of the world would be up in the morning." An exchange speaking of a celebrat ed singer says :—" Her voice is delicious —pure as the moonlight, and tender as a three-shilling shirt." An auctioneer's clerk being directed by kis employer to advertise a copy. of a fresco by Raphel, wrote :—"A fresh cow by raffle." An impertinent fellow wants to know if you ever, sat down to tea where skim med milk was on the table, without being asked, "Do you take cream ?" A thief broke out of jail, the other day. Being recaptured he told the constable he might have escaped but he had crib scientious scruples about travelling . on Sun-day. A yet:Mg lady on being asked if she intended wearing that finger-ring to church, said she didn't intend to wear anything 'else. If she kept her word, she must have had a cold time of it, One of the morning paper editors the other day received a contribution of a roast fowl with trimmings.
