Lodge of Odd Fellows, recently in session in
Nashville on the 20th visited, by invitation

correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
says.
About two hundred Odd Fellows in all
formed procession of fifty car riages, preceded
by a fine band, reached the deserted mansion
about eleven O'Clock The approach TO the
house had impressed every member with a
feeling Of sadness, which their arrival only
intensified. The home of the great comman-
der is completely abandoned by all white oc-
cupants, only three old servants remaining on
the place-ths Mansion closed up, the furni-
ture and decorations gone, the grounds without
cultivation aud without herd, flock or brood

Revolutionary Psns,oasrs- At the prese mt
day when we bear SO much about the breaking
up OF the Union, 1t becomes a matter of inter-
est 10 inquire how many Of those brave men
who snouIdered their muskets IN the revoiu-
tionary struggle yet remain to remind US OF
that eyeDttul period, and TO stand as most po-
tent arguments against the destruction OF
fabric which their hands helped TO rear. We
are informed that hut TWO now draw their an
nual pensions In this city, and that both of
them, by an acciden ,al coincidence, applied TO
the pension agent for their money on Monday
last These venerable men, Henry WillouRhby
and Jno Ssay, are all that remain here of their
cumpatriots, and as they have attained n great
age, 1t is probable, In the natural course of
events, that they, too. Will soon pass away,
and cease TO receive the small reward provia-
ed by government for gallant services. II 1t
had always been rule TO apportion the ma
tionai gifts according to real merit, the old
Revolutioners would have had their declining
years mtorted with an abundance OF this
worlds goods; but we find II the case that
n Oldest worth generally goes unrewarded.

the death Of her husband, in July last, Pierre

TO have been married in a short time The N.
Y. Express says:
While sitting alone in his room, an QUAINT
ance desired Pierrepont TO go with him and
he would show him a sight not pleasant TO
witness. The two accordingly started and
went to the rear of the premises occupied by
Mrs. Jones, where, upon pushing aside the
cur'ain OF IN open window, q man who Is au
employee in Adams Express office, sat beside
the widow and had one arm about her waist
He turned from the scene in a towering rage
fully resolved to call Mrs. J. to account for
allowing such familiarity with another man
" hen she was to be married to him. Pierre
pont returned home, but not to sleep, his feel
ings being too much worked upon 10 admit of
repose. Early the following afternoon, Pierre
pont called upon Mrs. Jones and questioned
her in regard TO what he had seen the night
previous, when, in explanation, she said the
man talked OF coming to board with her. and
she wished to secure him. She subsequently,
got into passion with Pierreponi; said she
was mistress of her own house, and offered to
pay him back all the money he had appropri-
ated for her beI eft, so that he would have Lo
claim whatever upon her.
This was TOO much for Pierrepout to bear,
and in a moment he drew a long bladed shoe
knife, and thrust it through the right forearm,

Poor fellow, he is now nearly used up. Once

THE FCGlTIvH SLAVE Law IN Ohio Hra-
tai Treatmsnt Of an u s. Marshai.-In Nor
row county, Ohio, on the Goth inst. the " 8.
Marshal of Cincinnati obtained warrants for
the arrest of three slaves, fugtives from Reed
& Pollock, of Germantown, Ky, and pro.
ceeded to arrest them. The Press gives the
following account Of The way in which the fu-
gitiye slave law is carried out by our North
ern "brethren." 1t says:
He proceeded to the locality in company
with eight or ten men, and as the negroes had
separated, the posse was divided into three
parties. the Marshal having given his depu-
ties and their assistants full instructions in
regard to their manner of procedure. Be-
tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening
the Marshal seized the negro for whom he had
retained the warrant, and, after walk Of
fourteen miles, placed him on board freight
train. and succeeded in reaching this city. An
examination was had before C)mm issioner
NeWhall, and bis identity being satisfactorily
established, and the fact OF his escape being
proven, he was remanded to the custody OF
his former master and taken across the river
The deputies, however, were not as success
full their chief. Neither succeeded in Sc
curing their man, and one of them was most
inhumanlv treated. Soon after showing his
warrant, he was set upon by crowd Of ne
groes and white men, to the number OF sixty
or seventy, a part OF whom were armed with
guns and pistols. The negro was liberated
assallants. His clothes we're nearly torn Off
and. amid shouts and oaths, he was beaten
with clubs, to serve him, as the crowd said
"as they treat slaves al the South" The war
rant aud all bis money were taken from him.
and the mob endeavored TO hang him. but [ fail
I'd TO do SO. They then ex tended his arms and
placed him as q mark for the bullets of those
armed with guns. The deputy begged them to
shoot him, rather than torture him as they
had done. Those who were armed were drawn
up, when the word was given. Make ready
AXE aim''-but, before the word .'firs" was
given, some one of the mob rushed in and
begged them not to fire. the guns were drop
ped and the deputy was liberated
Not satisfied with the indgnity and pain
already Inflicted, knife was sent for, and the
hair Of the officer was clipped close TO has
scalp, and he WAS then turned loo-e 10 make
his way out OF the neighborhood. The second
deputy also had very ST. rious time in attempt
ing to serve his warrant but we are NOT as fully
informed of the particulars. number Of the
friends of the negro assembled, and when the
Jfficer attempted to arrest him, he was fired
upon. The officer returned the charge, aud
shot off The fingers of negro, from oue hand,
but was compelled TO leave The ground with
nut securing his man. The matter Will not
rest where 1t Is.

MORE DEAD-The New Orleans papers of
oatnraay afternoon report additional names
o5 those killed by the ex plosion there FRIDAY
night. The bodies of John o. Roy; Antonio

Wingate, a native of Wilmington, N. O.:
Lewis Werling and Alex. Strawbridge, have

medical student, died from his wounds FRI.
day night. Edward J. Matthews, OF Wash
ington City, ID. q, a medical student at the
University of Louisiana, who had only ar
rived in the city the day before, was pulled
out of the ruins at a late hour Friday night,
seriously injured. He was taken to the house
of a Catholic clergyman who had known him
in w ashingtou. The Picayune says:
The scene on Lafayette street, from the
ruins to the lookup, was such as has seldom
ii ever been witnessed in this city. Mothers,
wives. brothers, sisters, children, crowded TO
both places upon common level of anxious
fear; some went away rejoicing; Others went
away in silent grief, and some of them, es-
pecially the women, cried and sobbed from the
very centre of their hearts. The scene alto
gether was sad, very sad
The calamity, carrying away. as 1t did, some
Of our brayest a.d most courageous firemep,
young gentlemen we'll known and esteemed
throughout the city, as we'll as honest poor
laborers who were earning their small pitt
'ance by saving properly, in perfect 10 nocence
OF danger, cast very perceptibie gloom over
the ,ity.
The flag OF the City Hall, and the flags OF
the different engine houses, were flung out to
the breeze at half mast. The Douglas mass
meeting, to have taken place at Clay Square,
was postponed neither did the Bell and
Everett clubs, procession of which was con-
iempiated, turn out-all In respect to the un-
timely dead and the grief which sobbed around
hresides and cast gloom over the social cir
cies OF friendship and acquaintance.
APPALLING CALAMITY-Boiler ErpfoSfon.-
