A UNION LADY.


MEMPHIS, TENN, July %, 1862.
Editor Union Appeal:
SIR: was this morning amused at CHANGING
over card in your columns signed by few
printers. 1t reminded me of an incident
which occurred to Burton the actor Two
players called after breakfast one day on Bur-
ton, and earnestly requested loan of fifty
dollars from him. Burton, with toodle-like
nod of the head and q polite invitation to the
professional" to be seated, Immediately
placed his hand in his pocket, drew out his
purse, but found no money. Seemingly per-
picked, he replaced his purse in his pocket,
and remarked to the players that he could not
at that moment oblige them, but if they'd
wait a few moments he'd endeavor to borrow
the money from friend. They, delighted at
the prospect, were all bows and smiles, re-
turning a thousand thanks for his kindness
Burton made his exit, but in the space of
fifteen minutes returned, blowing and SEEM
ingly displessed. Gentlemen said he, seat
| ing himself in a chair and rubbing the per-
spiration from his brow, "upon my word /
have done my best to serve you but the fact
| is, could not obtain the needful.r at this the
| players fIowned, put on their hats, started
| from their seats and left the room, muttering
curses between their teeth. "Look Lere," said
Burton, reckoning to friend, those men
Just gone out win curse me around town be-
cause l have not satisfied their wishes but
they'll give me no credit for my kind inten-
tons in laboring to serve them"
This illustration, presume, is sufficient ex-
plantation to you and the public. Never since
my schoolboy days having inflicted wrong
socially or politically, on any one, and wishing
to preserve that dignity Of character which
distinguishes gentleman, I may be pardoned
for noticing the petty personal insinuationi
that here and there glare, like ignis fatai
through the vapor of words composing tn,
card. As you, in your editorial remarks o
Sunday, stated, ! have been 'unblushingly
consistent !" and, like simple child, supposinl
others to be the same, fell into a great error
However, a clear conscience and knowledg
} OF being actuated by pure motives, makes m,
heart light on the matter, and to those VIII
put signatures to the spiteful card, written b.
one whose return of ingratitude for favors re
eeived may be a recommendation, 1 wish tn
utmost prosperity and happiness
: respectfully, j. B. SYSaoTT.

SOLDIERS HoME.-The Soldiers Home at
the Navy Yard, of which Lieut.. Jennings has
charge, was originally designed as depot for
soldiers on their way to rejoin their regiments.
Many such were detained in this city for days,
and having no acquaintance, felt themselves
10 an awkward position. To relieve their
loneliness and isolation, and to facilitate their
rejoining their respective regiments, all sach
persons were ordered to report to Lieut.. Jea-
nings. 1t seems, however, that some have
misunderstood the original design of the Sol
diers' Home, and number of the sick and in
valid have been quartered on his hands.
Nearly two hundred were sent by him yester-
day up the river. One hundred embarked on
board the Tycoon. He has his hands full, and
if he is to have branch hospital, he needs a
larger force to assist him.

REBEL INSULTS.

communicated ...
Why is it that the families of Union men
are insulted by the secession rabble that yet
infest the city? Why are the wives of the
coward'y Secessionists allowed to bawl at the
loyal citizen, {" Yankee" Traitor" Coward.
Were we not enough misused before the arrival
of our friends? Were we allowed to speak in
defense of our cause during the reign of King
JEFF? Were not our tongues bridled with the
reins of oppression? Did we dare utter
syllable in favor of the Union2 And 1 ask
why are they allowed more liberty by US than
they gave as Does not every one know that
when woman speaks thus she but echoes her
husbands sentiments? And when children
speak thus they are instructed to do so by their
parents Would it not be well that an order
be issued for the arrest of such persons, and
let it be obeyed to the letter and the Union
ladies can then walk the streets, or sit on their
porches without being insulted. Some declare
they would rather see all their possessions in
ashes than see the Yankees IN possession of the
city. Crafty them-take their property from
them, and send them from the city. They
will, at least be gratifed, and we be freed
from a reasonable and dangerous foe; for
those that would be willing to burn their own
houses would not scruple to apply the torch
to their neighbor's.

Testimony of james Esmond..

James Esmonda wls then placed upon thu
stand. he testified that he knew the parties.
and had often visited at the house. Upon one
occasion, about ten months ago, he went there
about 10 O'Clock at night in company with
young girl, and remained there all night. He
asserted positively that upon this occasion he
saw Patterson and Mrs. Hitchcock occupying
the same bed
After the conclus u of the testimony, u,
q. johnson, counsel or complainant, made a
few opening remarks in which he contended
that even granting the fact that the parties
had been living and cohabiting together as
husband and wife, and that the complaining
witnesses were the most debased strumpets
that walked the streets, yet, if the defendant
attempted to compel her to have csrnal inter-
course with him against her will, he was guilty
of an assault with attempt to commit rape,
upon her person, Snd, if he were successfulin
his attempts, and violated her person by en-
pioying force or threats, he was certainly
guilty of committing a rape He read from
the statute TO substantiate his position
NJ. ID. Brown, counsel for defense argued
that there had been no attempt at rape proved
in this case. The charge, he said was of
grave and serious nature. Its magnitude, as
against the individual charged with such
crime, could hardly be conceived. If proven
against him, he is an outlaw and outcast from
society. He is subject to a term in the peni-
tertiary, and forever deprived of the privilege
of voting, holding Office, and all the liberties
of a citizen in the community. A man should
not be. convicted of SO grave a crime upon the
supposed testimony Of woman so stepped in
iniquity as is this complaining witness The
evidence in thecase of Mrs Hitchcock proves
that she has lived with this man Patterson for
months; that he has during that time fur
nished her with home, and she acknowledges
that she never paid cent for provisions or
house rent. 1t is perfectly absurd and ride
ulous to suppose that they lived there together
during all this time and never had illicit in
tercouFse with each other. No respectable,
virtuous woman would ever live in this man
ner for months alone with a man.
He then adverted to her testimony In regard
to the administering of chloroform, which be
contended was evidently false from surround
ing circumstances. It was not shown that be
ever asked or desired her to yield to his wishes
before, and it would be absurd to suppose that
he would adopt such a method to accomplish
his designs ere he had used persussions to in.
duce her to comply with his desires.
At the conclusion of the examination Pat
terson was held for trial at the next term Of the
Recorders Court in the sum of $500.
