SEDUCTION BIZ a cLERaYMAN.

The particulars of the seduction of
young female, by Methodist clergy
man, residing in Allegany county, we're
made known yesterday, at the Office of
the Mayor-the victim having been
sen. to this city to avoid the disgrace
which an exposure would entail upon
the clergyman, had she remained longer
at his house. The facts appear to be
as follows: The girl, who is about twen-
ty years of age, was employed in the
family of the clergymen as seamstress,
about ten months ago, aud remained
there until November last, when, to
avoid exposure, he induced her to ac-
company him to this city, where he pla-
ced her under the charge of two physi-
clans of doubtful reputation, whom he
employed toproduce an abortion, and to
whom, it is said, he paid $500. They
had her removed from one hotel and
boarding house to another, until they
finally got her to a house of ill-fame in
West broadway, where they each ont
ragged her person, and piled her with
nostrums until she was very much re-
duced in health and strength. About
three weeks ago she gave birth to a
child, which lived about ten days
Since the unfortunate girl was brought
to the city, she has written several times
to her friends, stating that she was i'll /,
but not mentioning under what circum-
stances A day or two since one of her
brothers arrived, and yesterday laid the
matter before the Mayor, who immedi-
ately dispatched an officer to the house
in West Broadway, to ascertain if the
girl was sufficiently recovered to appear
before him, and if so, to bring her. She
came with the officer, and made q
lengthy affidavit. A warrant was issu-
ed for the arrest of the physicians, and
one of them were captured. The affair
is being thoroughly investigated by the
Mayor, and it is by the request Of the
authorities that we forbear publishing
the names of the parties concerned, un-
til the investigation is completed. IN.

THE MONEY MARKET.-The New
York Evenip- Post of Saturday, says :
80 The Bank statement for this week
will, as we have been informed, show a
further expansion of loans and discounts,
and an increase lprobably) of about five
hundred thousand dollars in specie
The banks are loaning money at six per
cent. on call, and the disposition to ac-
commodate the mercantile community
is equal to the amount of first class or
bankable paper that is offering. The
discount brokers, consequently, are dis,
posed to take lower rates. The market
is, however, irregular, and We quote sew
en- to ten per cent. for good bills. The
stock market shows much steadlness.

YANKEE DOODLE.

In 1775, Simultaneous attacks were
made upon the French posts in Ameri-
That against Fort Du Quesne 1.-THE
present site of Pittsburg} was conducted
by General Braddock; and those against
Niagara and Frontenac by Gov. Shirley,
| of Massachusetts,, and General Joanson,
of New York. The army of Shirley and
johnson, during the summer of 1855,
lay on the eastern bank of the Hudson
a little south of the city of Albany. In
the early part of June the troops of the
Eastern Provinces began to pour in,
company after. company; andssueh a
motley assembly of men never before
thronged together on such an occasion,
unless an example may be found III the
ragged regiment of Sir John Falstaff
1t would have relaxed the gravity of an
anchorite to have seen the decendants
of the Puritans marching through the
streets of that ancient city, (Albany)
and taking their situations to the left of
the British army-some with long coats,
some with short coats, and some others
with no coats at all-with eolors a varied
as the rainbow some with their hair
cropped like the army of Cromwell, and
others with wigs, the locks of which
hoated with grace, around their shoul-
ders. Their march, their aecoutrements
and the whole arrangement of the troops,
furnished matter of amusement to the
rest of the British army. The mnsic
played the airs of two centuries ago
and the tout ensemble, upon the whole,
exhibited a sight to the wondering stran
gers, to which they had been accustom-
ed. Among the club of wits that be-
longed to the British army, there was
DR.. Slackburg, attached to the staff,
who combined with the science of a sur
geon the skill and talent of musician.
To please the newcomers, he composed
a tune, and with much gravity rocom-
mended it to the officers as one. of the
most celebrated airs of martial music.
The joke took, to the no small amuse-
ment of the British.
Brother Jonathan exclaimed it was
nation fine /; and in few days nothing
was heard in the Provincial camp but
the air of Yankee Doodle Little did
the author, in his composition, then sup
pose that an air made for the purpose
of leYity and ridicule, should be mark
ed for such high destinies. In twenty
years from that time, the national march
inspired the heroes of Bunker Hill, and
in less than thirty, Lord CORVALLIS and
his army marched into the American
lines to the tune of Yankee Doodle.
This tune, however, was not original
with DIR. Shackburg. He made it from
an old song, which can be traced back
to the reign of Charles the First;
song which has in it's day been used for
a great variety of words. One of these
songs, written in ridicule of the Pro-
tector, began with this line: "The
Rouudheads and the Cavaliers An
other set of words, to the same tune,
was entitled +" Naakee DOODLE" and

But often in her gayest mood,
A transient tear will rise.
As something near her brings TO mind
Her baby in the skies.
You meet her in the moving throng
That crowds the busy street,
And think that joy was made to sit
Upon q face so sweet:
Alasi you little know how slight

What little things may bring to mind
Her baby in the skies.
Her songs arc set 70 merry tunes,
And chime TO merry hearts,
With all the pleasing melody
That fellowship imparts
Yet often an unguarded note
Will trenlble as II dies,
For dying accents bring to mind,

Upon a macaronf,
Th e first American parody upon the
original which we have seen, was enti-
tied Lydia Fisher An aged and re-
spactable lady, born in New England,
says she remembers it well, and that it
was common song long before the Rev
olution. 1t was also a fayorite New
England jig. Before the war, it was
customary to sing the tune with various
impromptu verses, such as
Lydia Loc ket lost her pocket
Lydia Fisher found il
Not a bit Of money in 1t,
only binding round it.
Perhaps there may be something in
this, for within our recollection the gals
and boys of Massachusetts had some
thing like it in their sports. But our
version is little different from the old
lady's, and run thus. -
Lucy LoGket lost her pocket
ar- I'm rainy shower;
Phillip CaIteret ran arter 1t,
And found it in an hour.
And later period the Tories had a
song commencing
Yankee Doodle came to town
For 10 buy firelock
We will tar and feather him,
So We will JOHN HANCOCK.
This version has very strong re-
semblance to the original-the first line
being the same, with the exception of
the N, for which the Y is substituted.
The occurrence of the word feather in
Uhv next iisa is no less remarkable. A
long string of similar verses are known
to exist, which were supposed to allude
to the coming of Oliver Cromwell ION q
small horse) into Oxford, with single
plume, which he wore fastened in a
sort of knot, which the adherents of the
royal party called macaroni,' out of de-
rision. What renders the history of
this tune the more remarkable is, that
to this very day the words of Lydia
Locket,' alias Lucy Locket. are sung
to it by school children.

terest to the citizens Of this common
wealth, we discover that there are an
unusual number of men from abroad
engaged in speaking, Iecturing, and
baranguing the people, on, subjects,
too, more or less connected witt, the
issues involved in the present can
yasse These orators are from other
States, mostly north :ofus. = Wheth-
er so designed or not, their efforts
appear to us as tom p@ay in. what
ought to te a fair, fight: thing, that
no true Tennesseean can look upon
with indifference. ; /.
|. Are the people of this proud and
patriotic State incapable Of select
ing their own Governor and Legisla-
tors? Must Instructors, paid proba-
bly, out Of funds, designed for other
purposes, be employed to teach the
citizens Of our State howto voter
If no evil be intended by these lec-
turers, this caution win do no harm.
Should it be their design to dictate
to the unsuspecting voters Of the
State, it viii be in time, and appro-
pirate. We want nothing but fair
play, and we ask noble, generous,
and fair minded people to see that
we obtain ii. This is all we desire.
Let foreigners not interested keep
hands off.-Mr. Nelcs.
