and married daughter of Gov. Wise, of Vir-
ginia. Many say that it was by his advice
that the Governor brought the Harper's Fer
ry affair to successful termination. AT
times he is afflicted with a rheumatic COM
plant, brought on by high living. Drs.
knight and Forsyth have advised him to
board for one month at frst-class hotel in
Nashville; but we believe that he thinks the
cure is worse than the disease.

killed in a duel with Col. Burr; his father
died from grief three months before young

upon the feelings of his mother that she died

never been able to disabuse herself of the
idea that she is born Queen, and Charles,
like good boy, has purchased one hundred
native Africans, and she wills them with regal
sway-the importation of these natives caused
all the excitement about the renewal of the
slave trade few months since. ..-.
