THE DEAD SUBJECTED TO THE NATIONAL
REVENUE LAWN Boston, the city clerk
has to give permit before body can be bu-
red in graveyard. The question has arisen
whether the permit had to bear stamp, and
Commissioner Boutwell, decides that it must.
So that man cannot be buried in Boston un-
less his friends first pay ten Cent tax. This
is running the revenue law " into the ground. .
This comes the nearest to taking coppers
from dead mans eyes than anything we
nave heard of.

LATE WAR NEWS.


A Desperate Fight at Spring Hill--Three
Federal Regiments Defeated and Over
pewered--Escapeo or the Cavalry and Ar
tillery.
NASHVILLE, March6.-There was fighting
all day yesterday, between VAN DoRN's
Rebel command and three Federal regiments
of infantry about five hundred cavalry and
one battery, at Spring Hill, about thirteen
miles south of Franklin. Colonel CoBURN's
three regiments of infantry were cut to Piec-
7es or captured by the Rebel force. They
fought desperately, but their ammunition be-
came exausted, and, being overpowered by
superior numoers, were either killed or cap
tured. The cavalry and artillery got off safe
ly. No reinforce,nents from General Gil
bert's command at Franklin reached the
scene of action. Seven regiments of infantry
are at that place.
Van Dorm is reported to have $4,000 men
in his command. ...

A negro who had committed an outrage
upon young white girl was being taken
from the court room to jail under escort Of the
military this afternoon, when an attempt t."
rescue was made by gang of rowdies. The
crowd was fred upon, and one man killed and
several wounded. Being foIed in their at
tempt to get possession of the negro, the mob
perpetrated the most horrible outrages upon
the colored people residing in the vicinity O.
the Jail. Houses were gutted aud burned
and the inmates maltreateG and in many in
stances killed Ten or fifteen lives have al
ready been lost, and as many houses burne.t.
All the available military here and a reaimen,
in the interior OF the slate have been sent for
a vigorous attempt will now be made to quel
the riot.

Billy Button, of the Republican, has gone
into the marriage-brokerage business. H.
advertises in his last issue, for three young
ladies of means, beauty, &C., who wish tc
correspond with three nice, brare young men
on the subject of matrimony." We would
advise Billy to shoulder his knapsack and
musket" and start for Dixie for the purpose
of securing for his customers, few of the
highly perfumed dusky daughters of the
South. How pleasant it would be to him to
be the Gods chosen instrument, in relieving
them from the "galling chains of slavery
and uniting them in the siken bonds of mat
rimony to some of their worshppers. If Bill
ly 10 afraid of the draft, or the copperheads, D
be had better get his stock in trade from
Canada.
