DAN'L HUGHES.

Il The Paris correspondent Of The Couri
Journal tells US that there have been serious
tsuds between the Empress Eugene and the
Princess Clotlde, Prince Napolson's young
Sandman wife. He save:
The Marchesa De VHlsmarina, whose at
tachment to the Princess Clotldehas wlthstood
every chance and change Of marriage and
transportation, has been, ever since the peace,
upon the stifest and most impractcable terms
with the court, and has kept herself as closely
elosetsd as possible al the Palsis ROYAL. with
The Princess Clotlde, her present friend and
cuondam pupil. In those time haIlowed
walls, screened from the sun BY closed jalru-
sizes, the two Sandman ladies have sat day
after daY, paving attention 20 nothing but the
telegraphic dispatches which arrive from Tu-
rin, returning answers, and framing an kinds

ing to them, had been withdrawn from the
stage before IL Eas half performed, or rather,
whose author has blown out the lights, turned
the gass of, and left the concluding tsbleaux to
Be PLAYED in the dark. II seems that, from the
verV first, there was but little cOudiaIitV be-
tween the ladies Of the Palais Royal and the
ladies Of he Tuileries. The Princess Mathi- |
de was the only lady among the latter who
sought 10 conciliate tie old fashioned preiudi-
ces Of the Court OF lurln TO The more modern i
free and easy style Of the Tuileries. This la
dy did every thing in Der power % draw the
c0ntending elements together. She even
painted Mile. de NilsmanIna's portrait, and
seat it to the exhibition but this rad no con-
ciliatory effect at adjust the contrary. The
return Of the Emperor and the Prince, added
fresh fuel 20 the fame. So much had 10 be
complained Of, 80 much had 20 be told, and the
tale was so sad and fun Of woe, that an expla-
nation was demanded BY the Prince. Of
course, this was accorded, and It needed but q
reasoning to convince any one capa-
be Of such unusual exercise in Paris. that the
complaints were but the disconnected p0utings
of a spoiled child, under the unjust impression
Of neglect. Even the Empress, whose kind
and winning temper has made her much be-
in the court circle, has not yet been able
wholly to overlook the various little demon
Of disappointed national pride, with
with which the patriotic little Princess re-
the Emperor. We have heard il as
that so greati s the annoyance expert

ion Of the war, that serious thoughts are en-
eTtained Of allowing her TO undertake a our

fatal air, rendered doubly REG uisite in conse-

sm which has seized upon her since the ex-
lloits Of Victor Emanuel have rendered him

A BEIDE CEUELLT DEEERTEn.-About four
months since, a young man calling himself
Wm. X. Evans, located at FranklintOn, over
the river, and commenced working IN the saw
mill Of RicklT 4 Brother, and soon after con
trscted to build a mil for that firm. He soon
sfter became acquainted with and married a
Young and intelligent school teacher, whose
maiden name we did not learn. Her fortune,
like most people Of her class, wal not large,
consisting Of a piano, a gold watch, and a
small sum Of money; but small as h was, o.
was doubtless the intention Of Evans 10 rob
her Of il and Of her happiness. They CON
menced housekeeping, and lived very comforta-
by until 4 week or two since.
Evans represented to his wife and others
that be owned land In Minnesota and Ken
lucky, and had 5000 coming to him at BAL
umore. In order 10 secure this Inheritance,
be Induced his wife 70 give him Der watch,
and sell her piano and furniture, with the os-
tensible intention Of removing 10 the city 20

Tor regions unknown, leaving bis young and
interesting wife almost destitute, and terribly
distressed BY the villainous treachey Of the
man IN whom she had placed her confidence
and neT nappinesE- These facts we learn from
a Perfeetly reliable authority, and give them
publicity in the hope that they may in some
manner bring this fellow to Justice, or that
they may prevent similar operations on his
part, a. be appears 10 be an adept al the

An HONEST CoNFEssIoN.-Ile London
Tina, after a review Of the actual condition
Of the British West India Islands and a con-
trast Of their former prosperous condition
with their present state Of decline, closes
with the following emphatic paragraph
against the policy Of black emancipation:
We wish to heaven that some people in
England-neither government, people, nor
parsons, nor clergymen- ut some Just minded,
honest-hearted and clear sighted men would
90 out 70 some Of the islands-ssy Jamaica,
Dominica or Antigua, not Tor a month, or
three months, but for a year-Would watch
the precious pIotege Of English philanthropy,
the freed negro ia bis daily habits would
watch him as he lazily plants bis little squat
ting would see him as be proudly rejects az
ricultursl OF domestic service, or accepts it
only at wages ludicrously disproportionate to
the value OF his work. We wish, too, they
would watch him while, with a hide thicker
than that Of a hippopotsmus, and a body to
which fervid heat is a comfort rather than an
annoyance, be droningly lounges over the pre-
scribed task on which the intrepid English
man, unaccustomed and uniuursd 10 the burn
ing sun, consumes his impatient energy, and
too often sacrifices his life. We wish they
would 20 out and view the negro in all the
b~lazonTy Of bis idleness, his pride, bis ingrati-
tude, contemptuOusly sueering stthe industry
Of that race which made him free, and then
come home and teach the memorable lesson
of their experience to the fanatics who have
perverted him into what be is.

MEssRs. EDIroEss On passing down Wal

OF the superiority Of this pavement over all
others, I beg to submit the following, derived
from reliable sources. This important in
p~rorement consists In a patent double corruga-
ted street pavement Of cast iron, filed In with

as eighty per cent. Of the iron wiIl remain, 10
be cast Into new pavement. 5. Il il admirably
adapted for streets or horse railways, as no
timber is required FOR string pieces or ties, and
there is consequently no wood 70 rot cut, and
80 neeessitate costly and frequent repairs.
From a popularity Of rail patented with this
pavement, a far more even surface is had than

pavement is less than the iron pavement now
in use. IMPROVEMENT.
The above is from the New York J0Hnal OIL
Commerce. II this pavement is now adopted

The uiti mate status Of a Territory, it is not a

The history Of the last three or four new
States brings the southern mind face 10 face
with two great facts, which IL cannot escape a
knowledge Of, If it would. These are, that the

A Glorious Record.

A few days since, says the Constitution, we
published The names and ages OF such Of the
| revolutionary soldiers as were living and pen
sioners on the roll Of the State Of Georgia, and
now give such leading incidents connected
with their service as possess any interest.

was bound out 10 a widow. At the age of Il
wears, while on an errand to Rsnsom's Mills,
met with, and was Influenced to accompany, 20
or 30 others, then on their way 10 wilkes, now
Warren COUNTY, Georgia. Was actively en-
plOysd as a scout against the tories, and on one
occasion a body Of 200 or 500 tories was DIS
covered. Although a much larger force, they
were pursu ed and under cover Of the night. at
tackled by Col Elijah CLARK and defeated at
The junction Of Kettle Greek and Little Rivers.
He was also In South Carolina under General
Greene, with General Pickens in his march
through the Cherokee country 10 and down the
Tennessee river. Al the siege Of Augusta,
then in possession Of the British, commanded
By General Greeson, saw that officer shot in a
balcony BY James Alexander, a whig in dis
guise. He also states, that when Augusta sur
rendered, the British left the tories in the hands
Of the wings, and were Slaughtered BY them
without mercy.
John Mention entered the service m III
in Pittsylvania county, Virginia, and immedi-
ately marched 10 Guilford, North Carolina,
after the tories. In 1871, under General
Greene, was wounded in an engagement
with the enemy at Guilfprd courthouse, COM

Greene al Cambridge or 96-leading a very
active life, well suited to his rowing and suds-
cious disposition. Colonel Henderson was Sc
verely wounded al Eutaw Springs, and Hames
carried him on bis back from the field to the
camp.
When on a scouting expedition, under Colo
mel Brandon, fell in with General Marion with
bis troops near CRANKY unitedly folio Eed and
defeated a large body Of tories camped on the
Pedee river, pursuing them down Broad river,
which was TO be crossed BY a bridge. Preyi-
Gus 10 passing over, General Marion ordered
the soldiers to spread their blankets on the
bridge in order 10 prevent the tories (who
were supposed 10 be near from hearing the
tread Of the horses. Before all bad passed
over, the tories commenced an attack, but were
r~spulsed, leaving behind several prisoners.
