~ The Hon. jeremiah Clemens. dem. Of
Memphis, Tenn, in a speech at Nashville,
Tenn, on the goth ult., said that it required
extraordinary credulity to believe that the
Administration intended to use the $50 ,000,-
600 it asked for Of the late Congress in the
purchase of Cuba. "In my honest opinion, -
continued Mr.. Clemens, the intention was
to use it as corruption fund to secure the
nomination and election of John Slidell as
President of these United States There is
nothing in the past history of either James
Buchanan or John Slidel to place them above
suspicion Give them $50, 600, 900 to be used

ton, and the remainder in purchasing the
votes necessary to insure the election Of its
nominee"

BLOODY FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS.
The Ccntroyillo Herald, published at Cen

count Of the desperate conflict with the In
dams on the northern frontier of the state
in which Capt. Ford's company of rangers
was surrounded by eight hundred Indians,
and all killed except FIVE;
al give you below brief statement of the
loss of forty-threo Of our brave rangers in an
unfortunate engagement with the Indians.
Capt. Ford, with iorty-seven of his men,
left camp in pursuit Of the Indians, who had
carried off four hundred horses. He was
Joined by 200 friendly Indians, and alter
wards by Major Van Dorm with $50 regulars.
After the united forces had passed the head
waters of the Red River, Major Van Dorm,
not docming it prudent to press the pursuit
further without additional supplies for men
and horses. turned back. Capt. Ford and
men, with the friendly Indians continued two
days travel in the direction OF Kansas. Be-
tween midnight and daybreak of the second
night, the friendly Indians left the camp Of
Capt Ford. About daylight he found him
self surrounded by 500 warriors, who de-
dercd his men to prepare for fight, each being
armed with two rcvolvors aud rifle They
fought brayely and desperately, but were
oycrpowered by numbers, and all butcherod
except Capt. Ford and four OF his men, who
cut their way through and escaped.
among the names of those who fell fight
ing brayely. are the two nephews Of Gen. Ed
Burleson, Aaron and his brother, ,whosC
father was killed in former engagement
with the Indians and whose untimely fate
will be deeply regretted By friends and rola
tions in our country.
THE absve information was brought mt
direct from Austin, upon the arrival Of thu

MIDNIGHT MID.RIvER MARRIAGE.

a fair haberdasher, residing on Fifth stree {,
having been anxious for some months to be-
stow her hand, as she had already bestowed
ner heart, on young man who had wooed and
won her without any great difficulty, was pre-
vented from the execution of any coDnubial
designs by the opposition of her mother. Her
maternal parent watched her daughter with a
dragon-like vigilance, and rarely permitted
her to leave her presence unattended. Sal
lie was bitterly opposed to this surveillance,
but at last, to rid herself OF it, pretended that
she had grown Indifferent to, and thought no
more about her lover. She would not marry
him, she said, if he were worth million.
Sallie $ mother was deceived by this show of
candor, and desiring to visit New Orleans,
thought 1t perfectly safe to leave her alone for
few weeks She left home, and ere she had
reached Louisville, ,Sallie was off with her lover
to the Probate Court to obtain license. As
she was but seventeen, however, Judge Hilton
refused to appoint guardian, whereupon her
companion proceeded to Justice Mccall, who
taxing compassion on their condition promis ed
to unite them that night on one Of the Coving
tDn ferries
The Magistrate kept his word and Just as the
twelve hours of the nocturnal noon were ring
Ing out from score Of city clocks, the twain
were bound together on tho ferry in the middle
OF the beautful river. The stars were the only
witnesses OF the romantic marriage, and playing
bopeep with their dim brothers far under the
waves OF the ferry, appeared delighted that the
parents had been nnubially cheated of the
right to dispose Of their daughter person when
and where they chose.-Cin. Enqnfrer

A NEW GAME.-In the vicinity of West Alex
ander, Va, number Of neighbOrs have been
in the habit of attending for some time social
parties-got up something after the order of
the free-love gatherings. Among those who
took lively interest in these sociablcs were
Mr. and Mrs. George Carsner, Miss Curtiss,
and Mr. May. by way of killing time, new
game was introduced at these parties called
The Shanghai game" which is described as
follows:
One OF the gentlemen mounts n chair, flaps
his arms like rooster, aud crows Justify. The
first laiy detected laughing at this ridiculous
action, is pursued By the Shanghai, and race
cnsues, continuing till the female is oyertaken,
which by arrangement, the pursuer does not
succeed in doing till she has run SOME distance
from the house. This game was played for a
lcng time with huge success and at last an in
tlmacy savoriDg at least Of improperly grew
out OF it. Geo. Carsner became exceedingly
found of Miss CurtiSS, and every time he crowed,
she wassure to laugh. This kind Of thing didn'
suit Mrs. Carsner, and in order to retaliate
upon her faithless husband, she got to laughing
TO the crow of Mr. May.
Things went on thus until few days ago
when Mrs. c. suddenly disappeared with May
leaving three children at home About the same
timo her husband run away with Miss Curtiss
and the children are thus entirely deserted and
alone. The disgraceful business has excited
as 1t should, great indignation, and tar and
| feathers are freely limited, if an opportunity
should occur fer the application of these ar
tic!es. The Shanghai game is in bad repute.

MORPDY AND HARRwITz.-The Paris cores.
respondent Of the New York Times saws that
Harrwitz is terribly mortified by his defeat by
Morphy, so much so as to behave himself very
much after the Staun ton fashion. He declined
Morp6y's late challenge to play him giving
MIN the odds CT pawn and the move, on the
ground that he had cause to complain Of the
manner IN which be had been treated by Mr..
MOrphy, after the termination of their first
match. This reply has been turned into ridi-
cule by the French and English papers, which
sarcaSticaliy insinuatc that the treatment of
which Harrwtz complains is his defeat. But
the true explanation of tho latter's pretended
wrongs, (tor 1t is in reality shallow subter-
1uSe.l Is In certain letter, written by Mr.
Morphy, the history of which is as follows {:
When the FIRST match commenced Harrwitz
w0a the two initial games. His bearing after
tins momentary triumph was most unbesoming
and ungentlemanly. He spoke of his Young
adversary powers in terms of pitying con-
tempt, and filled the Cafe de la ReTepce with
the noise of bis bragadocios At the termina-
ton OF the .hird game, which was won by Nor
ply, Harrwitz suddenly turned pale, and his
Growing ceased
Alter losing two more games, he asked for a
delay Of a week, on the plea of illness The
delay was accorded, and, at the expiration of
the time, Harrwitz lost another game. Then
came a demand for another delay, which was
Morphy won his fifth game, when the discom-
fitted and frightened Prussian requested still
another delay of a fortnight. Morphy this
time refused, and was universally supported
In his refusal Harrwitz then abandoned tho
match, which therefore came to an end
Now. for the sequel. Harrwitz is the chess
editor of a Paris Journal, called the Monde H.
lHstre. In this paper appeared a paragraph,
annOunc ng the termination of the match
which, it stated, sowing to the continued in
disposition Of Mr.. Harrwitz, Mr.. Morphy had
graciously consented to annul." This word
annul was aagrant and notorious violation
Of the truth. The match was not annulIed or
drawn, but abandoned by man who knew he
could not win it, and who hoped, by this spe-
cious announcement, tp creep out of his signal
defeat Hereupon, Mr.. Morphy was urged by
his friends not to permit so obvious a falseho5d
TO pass unnoticed; and, finally yielding to their
solicitations, he wrote brief note TO the pre-
p-ietOrs Of the Monde HiUstrc informing them
of the facts. To this note Harrwitz pretends
to have taken violent exceptiOn-which we can
readily understand, as it proves him to have
been guilty Of a wilful deception-and this is
his p-etext for refusing his second challenge.
