Remarkable Recovery of wounded

ms old adage has applied to more
cases Of love than any other affairs of
life. A little incident that occurred
in the northern part Of this county,
illustrates it.
In that part of Hancock has, and
does reside good. looking. intelli-
gent young widow, whose husband
died In 1850. Now this husband. who
was very considerably the senior Of
his wife, on his death bed. had ex-
acted a promise from her, that she
she would never marry again, and
after her death, his relatives manag-
ed TO gobble up his entire estate, leav.
ing her not only a widow but very
poor. The aforesaid promise to her
husband, she regretted in less than Il
year, for 10! young officer in the
gallant 2lst, from the neighboring
county of Wood, who had loved her
before her marriage, renewed his suit.
She would hay e married him, but for
that fatal promise, and she would
have broken the promise, but for
remarkably tender conscience, which
rebul1ed her whenever she thought of
the matter
So matters stood until the battle
of Chicamauga. The young officer
was badly wounded, and was brought
home to die. lie made all his prep
arations, setting his house in order,
completely, for the last scene of all
in his eventful history He sent for
the widow and told her that he de-
sired but one thing, and that was to
provide for her. He knew that she
was poor, and he had no property to
leave her--one thing only he could do.
His widow would receive q pension
Of $50 per month from the Govern
ment-he would make her his widow.
She thought of the matter several
hours, and finally concluded to do it.
True, she would violate the letter Of
her promise, but not its spirit, and
when she thought Of the good the
pension would do her, her scIupies
vanished, and they we're married.
Singular as it may seem, this mar.
riage had beneficial effect upon the
wounded hero. He showed signs of
improvement Immediately, in fact so
rapid was his recovery, that the cx-
widow began to think in the course Of
three or four days, that the hope of
hes pension was growing faint, and
well she might, for in u week he was
walking about, and last "Wednesday
lie started for his regiment. leaving Il
wife behind him, who wept bitterly
at the parting.
Some say the gallant officer was
not wounded at all--thal the whole
affair was deception, and advised
the deceived woman to sue for di-
vorce, but she thought not She did
not believe there was any deception.
She had done justice to the memory
of her deceased Lusband--hci pres
ent husband never expected TO re-
coyer--hc only proposed marriage to
benefit her,-in his recovery she re-
cognized the hand of Providence and
was disposed to submit thereto.
As live husband with 4 good sal
airy, is better than a dead one, even
though he left pension, we agree
with her.

rhe Draft.

7 Nv OlNt's
Hancock county is called upon to
furnish 258 men for the service of the
U. s., by the 9th OF January next,
either by volunteering or draft. We.
are most decidedly in favor of raising
the men by volunteering, for these
reasons:
let. The Government wants the
men and will have them. A draft is
harsh. It falls in many cases upon
men lily prepared to go, running some
and seriously embarrassing others
A volunteer has his arrangements
made to go, and does not go unless
he is prepared for it.
2nd. If the 5000 men the Gov
crnment asks for is forth coming. it
will, in all human probability, be the
last call that will be made for troops.
The rebellion Is wcll-nigh over, The
military power Of the Coufederacy is
broken, and it needs but one more ef.
fort to crush it. Let 100000 men be
added to the veterans now in the field,
and the war will be ended by the
lth Of July next.
81. As the law now stands drafts
yield but few men. With the $500
exemption not more so out the 259
would 90. Then follows another
draft in February, another in March,
and so on until the number required
is obtained.
4th. II the $500 clausei is repealed
it is virtual exemption Of the rich
man. The price OF substitutes would
run up to $500 to 1000, a sum the
wealthy man would willingly pay, hut
one entirely beyond the reach Of the
poor man.
All these evils can he avoided by
prompt and vigorous action. Let ey-
cry man who cannot 90 himself make
Of himself q recruiting officer for the
next twenty days. Let there be IN
effort made by all, and the quota o!
this county can be filed. There is
no time to be lost. What is done
must be done quickly. Let there be
no delay in this matter.
