Murder of the Rev. S. A. Easterbrook,
by the Rebels.

NASHVILLE. January Sd. 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR: Itis lamentable to reflect
to what depths of degradation and crime
these rebel barbarians have descended
II seems that every principle of moral
right, of mercy and humanity has been
ruthlessly discarded, and the wild fiend
of passion and disorder seems to stalk
like giant curse over the land Youth
and innocence are alike disregarded,
family ties are broken, old associations
forgotten, and every better feeling of the
human heart suppressed, or trampled in
its incipiency in the dust.
The above are suggestions prompted
by a knowledge of the most diabolical
deed that has been perpeirated since the
outbreak Of this calamitous rebellion.
Rev. Mr.. S. A. EAsTERBRooK, a pious
and inohensiye citizen, travelling with
the army, was brutally murdered on the
Murfreesboro pike, about twelve miles
from Nashville on yesterday, by band
of rufiian gnerrillas while on his way
from this city TO the front. The assas-
sins, after shooting eighteen balls through
his body, robbed him of seven or eight
hundred dollars, and afterwards horribly
muiilated the corpse with knives and
sabres. Mr.. EAsTEKBRooK was for many
years faithful end efficient minister Of
the Presbyterian church, in Boston, Mas
sachusetts, and added TO his perfect
character as a christian and philosopher
that ancient and puriianical love for his
country, which so signalized our ances-
tors Of New England He emigrated
from the East to Kansas, several years
since, with the hapless victim Of Yir-
ginia tyranny, john BRowN, and was
Cor many years the confidential friend
and spiritual adviser OF that misguided,
but unfortunate man. The mortal ie-
remains of the two are Wondering under
the elods OF the valley, but their souls are
marching on against the perpetrators of
such damnable deeds as this. For seveal
months Mr.. EAsTERBRooR has been con-
nected with the army Of the Union in an
honorable capacity, and many a patriot
will mourn the death, by traitors, Of one
who has stood up so nobly for his coun-
try. lie was a man Of brilliant intellect,
wide and extended views, unbounded
information, and lofty principles a lion
among his enemies, but calm and sweet
as a lamb among his friends.

The sunken Road at waterloo.

An odd numerical coincidence, twenty
six battalions were to receive these
twenty-six squadrons. Behind the crest
of the plateau, under cover of the masked
battery, the English infantry formed in
thirteen squares, two battalions to the
square, and upon two lines-seven on
the first and six or the second-with
musket to the shoulder and eye upon their
sights, waiting calm, silent and immov-
able. They could not see the cuirassiers,
aud the cuirassiers could not see them.
They listened TO the rising of this tide of
men. They heard the increasing sound
of three thousand horses, the alternate
and measured striking OF their hoofs at
full trot, the rafting of the cuirasses,
the blinking of the sabres, and sort of
fierce roar of the coming host. There
was a a moment of fearful silence, then,
suddenly, long line Of raised arms
brandishing sabres appeared above the
crest, with casques, trumpets, and stand
ards, and three thousand faces with gray
moustaches, crying We FEmpeeur p

A Lively skirmish.

On Saturday evening, as one of our
wagon trains was going to Murfreesboro'
under escort Of Gen. McCooK's brigade,
il was attacked by WHEELER's cavalry
brigade, short distance beyond the Lu-
naiic Asylum, some eight miles from the
city. The rebels were quickly repulsed,
with loss of at least eight privates, who
were found dead on the field, and four
teen priyNtes aud one captain prisoners.
Our loss was only seven wounded II

A boy nine years old, afflicted with a
monomania fer incendiarism, has been
arrested in an Austrian town in the act
of commencing his tenth llre. AT his
examination he said that at certain hours
OF the day he felt such a desire TO do
something that his "heart burnt in his
body until he had done So" In one Of
these Cts, on the 10th of June last, he
attempted three times to set fire 90 the
residence Of his step-father, but without
success. He effected his purpose on the
following day, however, when thirty-six
houses and a synagogue were destroyed.

had driven our right several miles, hold

resting within two hundred yards of our
pickeis. The rebel batteries of BYRNE.
and Com, (Ky.) were actively engaged
with our batteries. The rebel right was
not actively engaged that day, our

thing gave evidence of desperate strug-

is rather inconsistent, as in one place it
says that our loss was three times, and in
another place ten times,as great as theirs.
The Banner, admits the rebel loss to be
5000 in killed, wounded and missing;
so il our loss was ten times that number,
it would amount TO ffty thousand, which
is tall exaggeration, even for rebel

Louis Napoleon's spouse is as caprici-
GUS as she is pretty. The hoop skirt is one
of her notions, and on the whole bene-
fetal one. Embroidered petticoats were
another of the Empress whims, engen-
dered by her pity for the distressed
seamstresses of Paris. A sudden aud
unroyal-like visit to London was another
caprice. causing a quarrel with Louis
and other family troubles.
Becoming distressiugly pious was an
other imperial notion promising TO have
a second baby, another. But the queer
est and most startling feminine fancy
was publishing newspaper. La France
is the Empress's organ, which Europe
reads with interest, on whose contents
the stockholders speculate, and which
forms the new sensation" in Paris. IL

pertinent and assuming. Fancy Euge-

out of her grim lord is wasted in types
all her time is passed in selecting editors

France will go too far, and Louis Napo

King Harris

This distinguished, or.

mortal eyes. Fate has shut him up, like
a monkey in toy box, and no kind hand

up in jifIey, before the aslonisbed
world. During the five days fight az
Murfreesboro, HARRIS was no where visi-
BILE. This Southern Statesman, who
preached insurrection-this patriot who
sold his State to JEFF. DAvIs-this chiv-
alrous fire-eater who was going TO die in
the last ditch-(dead- drunk, we suppose)
was missing, when the hour of conflict
came, in which so many Of his deluded
and betrayed followers were to lay down
their lives. The miserable bastard,
coward, pOltroon and traitor dared not
meet the conflict which he had stirred
up. He skulked away ingloriously from
the danger to which he compelled others.
He was willing that every Tennesseean
in the army should be slaughtered, thai
he might return to Nashville, and plumber
the people, but he was not willing TO face
danger with them. Infamous wretch !!
craven hearted scoundrel Let him be
written down in history, as villain,

AsEaf0TE OF RIcHELTEU.-One day the
poet Desmarets, who was then very
young, succeeded in obtaining an audi

usual courtesy had inquired to what
cause he owed the pleasure of this visit (:

frowned, and fixing his eyes sternly on
the young petitioner, said, "And what

"for something that your eminence will

The RichmOad Wing, in the following
paragraph, disposes of the reconstruction
humbug, recently started by Fernando
Wood:
w. G. BaaDey was taken prisoner near
Centreville, and sent to Richmond. When
he arrived here, he asked an interview
with some of the authorities, to make a
statement of affairs at the North. This
statement led to the belief that he was a
spy-and he was placed in close confne-
ment. But no proof sufficient TO convict
him was obtained, and he was exchanged
for a citizen of the Confederate States.
No letters were sent by him from Mr..
Benjamin, or any other person connected
with the Government; nor is it believed
that he bore any letter or message from
any one.
