MILWAUKEE, October THE case Of
Margaret Guniber against Orlando Ellis
worth for breach of promise, after occu-
pying ten days in the Circuit Court, was
given to the jury to-day. Both parties are
residents of the town of Lake, in this coun-
ty. Ellsworth was Captain in the oath
Regiment, but, from information produced
on the trial, it appears that, having had
severe attack of diarrhea, he procured his
discharge. He was at one time Rerub-
lican member of the Legislature from the
town Of Lake, and has been a resident of
the county for the last twenty years. The
plaintiff, who is about twenty-six years of
age, is a German by birth, and, although
presenting an emaciated and debauched
countenance, preserves many evidences of
original beauty. She was a servant in the
house of Ellsworth for eight years after the
death of Ellsworth's wife, which took place
eight years ago. He made improper over
lures to the plaintiff, assuring her that he
loved her, and would, at proper time,
marry her. She for a time successfully re-
PEELED his improper demands, but finally
succumbed to his desires. The evidence
shows that, in the short space of eight
years, four abortiOns were produced. Hay
ing become enciente the fifth time, and
failing to produce abortion, the plaintiff is
now mother of child one year old. Els
worth, previous to the birth of the child,
got married and fled the country, after
which the plaintiff went to Chicago, where
she has since resided with her friends.
Wfh yho hne,
county of Lake, is said to have made a
fraudulent conveyance to shyster named
ID. G. Rogers; but, if a verdict is cb-
tanned, plaintiffs counsel feel confident of
their ability to collect it.
The jury, after being absent fifteen min
utes, returned verdict for the plaintiff
of $4,000.
A correspondent of the Atlanta LateNi-
gencer thus describes the battlefield of
Disadvantages:
The battlefield extended about ten
miles, and the carnage was the most
frightful yet witnessed, far exceeding
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, Murfrees-
boro or Shiloh. The constant and terrific
roar of artillery never was exceeded.

was magnificent, grand and terrible. They
faced the whirlwind of lead and iron with
as much steadiness and composure as if it
were summer rain. Then came charge

being Immediately closed up, and with the
yell Of demons, our battle-cry arose above
the roar and crash of musketry and artil-
lery, while the terror stricken foe fell back
aghast as our braves mounted and carried
their intrenchments, line after line. over
