AsDraye Women.


A friend hiss communicated to US the following
particulars, showing the heroism Of a lady fAirs
Julia H. Wahgh1 in ohnson County. East Tennes-
see, which entities her to place among the bravest
of the brave. ABOUT the 10th Of August mob Of
about loo, men in all, led by johnson, Grayson,
Locke, and others, commenced their depredations
and insults in the County above namel, near the
North Carolina line hunting down the friends Of
The Confederate government and forcing the weak
and defenceleSs to take the oath Of allegiance to
Lincoln. A portion of this mob, some fifty or sixty
in number, visited the house Of Maj Mcqueen, and
demanded of his wife-t know where he was. She
refused, at the peril Of her life To tell them and
after sound cursing, which they received from
old negro woman, who had no respect for Lincon's
mnons, they left and soon after visited the store
house of Mr.. William R. Waugh, who was absent
at the time. Their Captain marched his men up
and surrounded the house, and demanded of Mrs.
Waugh all the arms and ammunition which her
husband had. She told them her husband was alb
sent and had left her to take care of the store and
defend the family. They assured her that if she
would quietly surrender the arms she and the family
should not be hurt. She refused to comply with
the demand, and gathering axe, placed herself
in the door OF the building ard told them she would
spill: the head of the first man who attempted to
enter. She had with her her stepson, about "A
years Of age, armed with double. barreed gun and
pstol-her daughter, about Ii, armed with a re-
peater and knife and young man, who had vol
unteered to defend the bull ing, was also armed
They could and would have killed dozen OF so of
the mob if the attack had been made. They en-
deavored to intimidate Mrs. W., but she defied
them, and tainted them with the sight of Confed-
crate flag which they had threatened to take from
her; but she told them that before they took that
flag they would have TO take her, and that while
they were doing that she would be certain to have
her prize in the Shape of dead tory. And there
she stood. the imprrSonation Of collected courage
defying that larg" angry, and desperate crowd,

slowly retired sn,i..orn afterwards disbanded The

1t was about this time that the militia of Ashe,

REMARKS OF col. BRow.,

49,
IN the Senate on the resotutions offered By Nj
IxrRer Of Orange, a,n0fneing the death Of the
Hon. IFillie p, AdaQam. g 81 IS
Mr.. Brown rose to express his sincere and pro-
found sorrow at the melancholy event. which had
been announced, and to offer the homage of his own
high regard and veneration for the eminei citizen
and statesman, to whose virtues, and distinguished
public services the resolutions proposed to pay
just and fitting tribute. g
Mr. b. said that it had been his fortune to be as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Mangum at College, in the I,egis
laure of TIE State when he in the dawn of man.
hood, and afterwards in the Senate of the United
States In all these various positions and relations
Mr.. Mangum had won for himself among his asso-
ciates high estimate of his qualities as man and
warm admiration of his mental endowments.-
Largely indebted to his own exertions for in
life, possessing rare and varied talents with per-
sonal presence seldom equalled, he had almost at
single bound after entering on the theatre of life
gained position eminence at the bar and in pub
lie councils. Himself coten porary with Mr.. Mangum
in the Senate of the United States during the ad-
mnistration Of General Jackson when that body
by universal consent, had reached lis culmina-
ton of talent and its meridian of greatness 1t was
honor enough to say that in that extraordinary
body of intellectual giants Mr.. Mangum held con-
spicuous and prominent rank able and eloquent
debater. Alas how melancholy the reflection that
the great actors the theatre of public life at that
day live only in their great actions and in the
pages of history In recalling these scenes the most
melancholy emotions were excited in his bosom. =
Centuries, perhaps, may roll round before so many
individuals of unrivaed endowments and exalted
character will again be grouped together in public
consultation.
Honorable as were the achievements of Mr.. Man.
gum on this field of highest renown, there was a
trait in his character if not brilliant yet more to
he honored and which stamped on it a still higher
worth. In private life, possessed of most genial
disposition and true nobility of nature these qsll
ties had often in the heat and excitement of party
conflict most honOrably asserted their influence in
favor of political opponents. The his tory of the
State, just to so fair claim to honorable mention,
could not fail to award to the distinguished lament
cd individual whose decease they deplored, the
honors of high private WORTH great public useful
ness, patriotism and talent. He hoped the resolu-
tons would be UNANIMOUSLY adopted.

The Surrender Of Hatteras.

There is no doubt much truth in the following
remarks of an esteemed friend and correspondent
Mr.. HOLDEN Il ain satisfied that Hatteras ought
not to have been surrendered / refer to the sub
ect in the hope that my suggestion for the good of
the service will be accepted, that hencetorth in this
rdr no naraL officer shau be put in command Of
a shore battery. Those officers are as true and as
brave as those land but they have been educated
to believe that the navy of the United States is in
vincibe. The very presence Of fleet, they having
no ships, overawes them. Does any suppose that
Commodore Barron thought, or could have hcen
brought to think, that the Minnesota and the Wa
bash if they had been alone, could have been re-
sistedg That is the secret Of the surrender Of Fort
Hatteras q.
