An Extraordinary Story.

The Nashville Times publishes the following rea
markable letter from a young woman, telling how
she pursued and shot a rebel, to avenge the murder
of her lover :—" I had met Peteet, Gordenhire, and
Turner on the road, and told my brother there that
they were searching for Dr. Saddler to kill him.
Sure enough they went to the house where ho was,'
and, strange to me, after his warning, he permitted
them to come in. They met him apparently pert
fectly friendly, a nd said they had come to get soma
brandy from Mr. Yelton, which they obtained, and
immediately after drinking they all three drew their
pistols and commenced firing at Saddler. lie
drew his, but it was snatched away from
him. Ho then drew his knife which was
also taken from him. He then ran round
the house and up a stairway, escaping out of
their eight. They followed, however, and searched
till they found him, and brought him down and
laid him on a bed mortally wounded. He requested
some of his people to send for Dr. Dillin to dress
his wounds. It is strange to me why, but Saddler's
friends had all left the room, when Turner went
up and put his pistol against his temple, and shot
him through the head. They all rejoiced like
demons, and stood by till he made his last struggle.
They then pulled hs eyes open, and asked him in a
loud voice if he were dead. They then took his horse
and saddle and pistols, and robbed him of all his
money, and otherwise instlted and abused his re-
mains. Now for this I resolved to have revenge, Peteet
and Gordenhire being dead, I determined to kill
Turner, and had to seek an early opportunity of doing
it. But I kept that resolution to myself, knowing that
I would be prevented. I went prepared, but never
could got to see him. On Thursday before I killed
him I learned that he was preparing to leave Lou-
isiana, and I determined he should not escape if I
could prevent it. I arose that morning and fixed
my pistols so that they would be sure to fire, and
determined to hunt him all that day. Then sitting
down I wrote a few lines, so that if I fell my friends
would know where to look for my remains. I took
my knitting as if I were going to spend the day
with a neighbour living on the road toward Turner's.
It rained very severely, making the roads muddy,

looked at the clock, and it was half.past foar p.m.
I then walked out into the yard, and as Turner was
starting, called him to stop. He turned, and saw
I was preparing to shoot him. He started to run.
I fired at the distance of about twelve paces
and missed. I fired again as quickly as pos-
sible ; hit him in the back of his head, and he fell
on his face and knee. I fired again, and hit him in
the back, and he fell on his right ride. I fired twice
more, only one of the shots taking effect. By this
time I was within five steps of him, and steed and
