JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,
DEAR SIR
We have just consigned to his place of 50 cold OBJ
structlon" the last remains of the Hon. Judge Jno
F. Evertt, of this city, who died at his country resi-
dence on the 22d He emigrated TO Alabama from
Georgia soon after the last war, in the southern
campaigns of which he served as captain in the
regular army On its being reduced TO peace es-
Enlistment he moved to this place, which he has
several times represented in the Legislature and
through the paraities of its citizens has repeatedly
held the Offices of mayor and Judge. A native
strength OF character, in which strong mind and
decision were conspicuous, distinguished him in
every relation of life
could not resist the opportunity now afforded me
tor examining the memorials here constructed TO
the dead in every variety of architecture and in
scrptlon. Here and there were read hourishing
sentlments-s few lines of poetry, and in
most cases Celebrations of irremediabe regret and
corroding despair. In the right hand division of the
enclosure, which is shaded in cedar and cypress are
to be found lying in almost recordess ruin the state
ly headstones of many of the early French and
Spanish settlers whose remains have long since fled
the rioters of the grave. The left hand division is
densely populated with the silent bodies of per.ons
who, ured hlther by hopes OF wealth, have had all
their schemes baied in early grave. In this
portion of the yard every city and town in our
Union, and every occupation represented In
the rear division the graves of the poor, the
greater portion of whom are Irish and Dutch inter-
spersed with the leteress grave of the unettered
negro who In common with his master, awaits in
the narrow charnel house of death the last sum-
mons, when each will appear before the maker of
his body and Judge of his spirit Here ends the
drama OF life the brow that wears the laurel that
burns with the fever of ambition the heart that
thlrss for power the wiles of the traitor the pride
OF place, wealth or family; ALL all that frets and
levers the mInd strengthens virtue, or demOrazes
the heart, find terminus in the grave yard that eli
macterlc and end of all things
On the I'D ult Miss Hamblin, alias Mrs Ewing,
whom newspapers have represented as having
drowned herself in the Ohio having cut her throat:
and as having sailed for Jamaica, oras being your
city IN mans attire, made her appearance IN Court.
1t is now known that she has not been absent from
the city, but has been secreted In negro goal kept
by Messrs cunts and Vance Johnson, her paramours.
patient hearing was given TO her counsel and wit
nesses by the Judge, who admitted her 10 bail in the
sum OF s3O0O which was readily given by her two
keepers, who, in spite of the slespless vigilance of
the law, have until now, when scarcely any of the
witnesses are here, screened her from its custody.
DR.. Lever and DR.. Kelly gave as testimony, that
Mr. Ewing did not die of the wounds inflicted by
Mrs. Ewing but OF aneurism This may be true in
80 many words but would Mr.. Ewing have died
of aneursm at the time he did, had it not been for
the excitement produced by Mrs. Ewing's stabbng
him The coincidence is a strange one and will
not IN medical Jurisprudence place the prisoner re-
mote from the cause OF itwlng's death In Novem-
Der the trial will come of, when many persons cog
nsan OF the whole transaction, and of the profit
gate and desperate character of the murderess will
be present.
A day or so ago we had no less than three fights
n
drawn by of the parties, and rapid retreat ef-
iected by the other IT'S said that had the latter
stood his ground the medical general would have
cooled his ire in the sage ree tion that living
man is worth twenty dead ones MIR. F., calcula-
ting the probable range of pistol ball gave one un-
moduated below, and made haste to screen him.
overlooking rage has settled down to the bottom Of
the pot. He has paid his fine-been laughed at by
every boy in town; and has pent up his spleen and
bile IN sober cowardlce, and talks of settling in
Texas. THIS bloodless feat has, in town-alk given
way 10 tale, which credible authority is spok en-
of in every circle.
Mr.. g., who last summer eoped with the daugh-
ter of Mrs. O., was recently on visit TO the rela-
tons of his wife in the upper part of this county.
While there he rode out in company with Miss II
a cousin OF his wife, to whom he made illicit over
lures, which she rejected with merited scorn, and
communicated to her elder sister. family con-
sutation concluded on making known Mr.. G. con-
duct TO the young ady's father-who, by the bye is
little more refined than AN Indian, among whom he
mas nVed nucn. lie procured rlfle ana started
Immediately for the house at which G.. was stopping
Unseen by G.. Mr.. III. entered, and was Just in the
act of shooting him when Mrs. G.. interviewed and
saved her husbands life for the time but that Mr.
H. will kill q. no one doubts, he is uptring in
his efforts to obtain revenge. Mr.. G.. acknowledges
his error and consents TO be cow-hded but not
killed. Mr.. II. has given him his choce-Texas or
death.
Our exchange is daily growing worse. Bills, 60
