No further tidings were heard of Drury for
some days, until the capture of a guerrilla,

with bullet hole in it. Search was immedi.
ately made, and after twelve days the body
was found with every appearance of having
been tied to tree, his skull pierced with

capture had been made. The act was moth

murder. Mr.. Drury has still another son, the

RUNAWAY Sunday afternoon team
attached to sled came dashing up Secoud
street without driver, at furious pace. At
the intersection of Cedar street they over
took sleigh wherein was seated Mr. j. B.
Harrison and three children. One Of the
horses plunged, alighting with his front feet
in the seat of Mr.. Harrison's sleigh, but for
tunately missing the occupants. His weight
and struggles overturned the sleigh of Mr..
H., which so frightened his horse as to cause
him to run away. Mr.. H. and the children
were thrown out and the hindmost sleigh
passed over them. All, however, miraculous
ly escaped serious injury. The team causing
the mischief was soon afterwards stopped,
but Mr.. Harrison's horse continued to run
for some time, smashing the sleigh badly.

The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1863-02-20

gezE The following is an extract from
one of Horace Greely's late articles in the
New York Tribune:
eff three months OF earnest fighting
shall not serve to make serious impres
sion on the rebels-if the end of that term
shall find us no further advanced than its
beginnng--if some malignant Fate has de
creed that the blood and treasure of the
Nation shall ever be squandered in fruit
less efforts-let us bow to our destiny, and
make the best attainable peace.'
