Touching Scene In a Ceurt.Room.

One JAMES SUTHERLAND, who has been
on trial at Indianapolis for several days
for killing RoDDY A. SMALL, was acquit-
ted on Thursday. His wife and three
children were in court at the time. After
the announcement Of the verdict there
followed a scene, says, the Indianapolis
Journal, not often Witnessed in a court
room:
The prisoner that was--a prisoner now no
loDger-fell upon his knees, and lifting his
eyes towards heaven uttered an earnest PRAYER
of thanksgiving and praise to the God whose
justice and mercy have been SO wonderfully
manifested in him. The prayer was irresistably
eloquent, and when Amen was pronounced,
Amen came back in response from every part
OF the ROOM and there wers tears In every eye.
All rose to their feet; the acquitted man ad
vanced and took each juryman by the hand
with fervent God bless your You have
saved an innocent man from shame and dis
grace; you have taken foul stain from my
name. God bless you!" And to the prOsecu-
tor, whose conduct in the case commands ad-
miratiOn from all for fairness and honesty, he
gave q cordial "God bless you!" The old
white-haired father, whose trim trust had sup
ported the son in this dark hours of trial, now
melted into tears of joy that his son was &C.
quilted of guilt, and his own good name re-
manned untarnished. The Judge, wiping his
eyes Of the tears that had come unbidden, or
dercd the Sheriff to adjourn the court.

A writer in the Nashville Press, sketch
ing some Of the unreported occurrences in
the battle of Ohickamauga, gives the fol-
lowing:
Next in order stands the energetic German,
General Turchin, whose decisive will saved
General Reynolds, General Brannan's and part
Of General Palmer's divisions from almost GER
tain capture. Late On Sunday afternoon. when
some where talking Of surrender, being almost
surrounded, General Turchin was called upon
to give an opinion a. to the best plan of action.
''What! surrender said he; "No, sir, never !,
I shoost takes my brigade, and cuts my way
right out When I tells my men to sharge,
they sharges right through. tells, sir, we
never surrender" Speaking and acting with
increased vehemsnce, and determination -
irresistible as it was prompt, slencing all oppo-
sition, which was indeed, useless and seemed
out Of the question; and, true to his promise,
he did take his brigade and burst through the
closing lines of the enemy, with an irresistabil-
ity equalled only b his energy and indomitable.

The Rebel. PrivateeYs-.Letter from,
Secretary Welles.

Thirty-One Of the most prominent Insu--
rance Presidents, Bankers and Merchants
of New York have united in letter to,
Secretary WRILEs relative to the depreda-
tions of the Alabama and the other pirates,
and requesting the Secretary to give the
subject "the benefit Of the same energy
and ability which has characterized the
administration. of his department. in all
other channels of his official business"
The Secretary replies as follows:
SECRETARY wRLLIs' REPLY.
NAVY DErARrMENr,(
WAsHINGToN, Nov. IA, 1868. {
GRNTLEMKN-The Department duly received
your communication of the 28th ultimo, in
reference to the depredations committed upon
American commerce by the Alabama and other
rebel cruisers. The pursuit and capture of
those vessels is . matter that the Department
has constantly in view, and swift steamers have
been constantly in search of them, and at times
very close on them Thsy are under orders to
follow them wherever thsy may 20. The Only
vessel that had the impudence to attack our
flag at the entrance of our harbor-the Taceny
was promptly pursued and her career was
soon terminated. The Department had absut
thirty vessels after her.
thank you for your expression that energy
and ability have creditahly marked the admin
is.ration OF the Department in all the other
channels of official duties. A rigid blockade
of the coast has been demanded, and its accom-
plishment has required all the available orce
that the Department. could bring to boar: To
do this it could not well dispatch larger force
than If has in search of piratical roveus. It
will eootinus to give this subject its attention,
and hopes, as the avenues to the insurrection.
AIRY region are becoming closed and the navy is
charging, to be able to have larger force to
pursue the pirates and secure the safety of our
0omuAereo abroad.
Very respectfully, GIDEON WELLES,
Secretary of the Navy.

There was deal of truth expressed in
speech made at the Union meeting held
at Little Rock, Arkansas, on the 31st ult.
1t was spoken by Mr.. FIsHBAoH, an old
gentleman Of some local distinction, who
was member of the convention which
voted Arkansas out of the Union in 1861.
and whose opposition to the fatal measure
of secession caused him to be driven from
the State. His argument rather, plain
and homely talk to his fellow-citizens-
rested upon this ground, that the South
was wholly ignorant Of the condition and
sentiment of the North, and that if it had
not been it could never have committed so
suicidal an act as secession.
Mr.. FIsHBAoH said:
A native Of Virginia and an old resident of
thls State, have been one of you. The same
dlreetlOn has been given to my prejudice.
was taught to believe, and did believe, that
everything manufactured in New England was
made TO cheat with; that the religion OF the
people was hypOcraey; that their touch was
contamination. Fellow-citizens, I have seen
New England and its people. 1 have been
welcomed at the houses Of the rich-an exile,
without decent coat to my back, or money
in my pocket. have always met the warmest
southern hospitality at the houses of their mid
die classes; and, my fellow citizens, in one
sense of the word, they have no poor. have
walked with awe and a condemning conscience
through the school houses found at every coy
ner OF cross-road. 1 saw her barren hills
covered with plenty; saw her sturdy sons
every one Of them nm educated man-hasten to.
shoulder their muskets and place themselves in
the ranks of the defenders of their country:
and heard them make excuses for the South,
much in the spirit that kind elder brother
would for his wild younger brother; and dis
covered, as you have, that they are not cow
ards. And, fellow-citiaens, New England is a
representative of the North"
He concluded by saying there was "no
power on earth or below it that could
destroy this government; for twenty mil
lions Of people like those Of New Eng
land have declared:. This Union must
and shall be preserved"

The following is the reply of Mr.. OuLD,
the rebel Commissioner of Exchange. to
an application Of Mr.. Monford of Indiana.

Lsaac W. Menfora, Military Agent Of Indiana.
Fortress Monroe, Va:
sra-Yeur communication Of the 12.h inst.
has been received. Any provisions YOU ma
choose to send to City Point for the benefit of
Indiana prisoners will be faithfully distributed
to them, under such regulations as shall be
prescribed by our prison authorities. Ofcourse
these regulations will have but the one aim of
benentinR your people. The provisions can be
sent to my care or that of Brig. Gen. Winder.
There will be some difficulty in finding your
people. Some of them may be at one place
and some at another. We have now begun
distributing Federal prisoners over our coun.
try, owing to the recent refusal of the Federal
authorities to make an exchange. This fact.
ofitself, would be good reason for not direct.
ing stores to any one of your officers; but
every effort will be made to find out your peo-
pie, and reports will be made and furnished to
you from time to time.
Respectfully your 0bedient servant.

The Traitors to Democracy.

Says the Rock Island argus, "neither
MIR. VALLANDIGHAM, nor FERNANDO WooD,
nor any man or newspaper holding their
views, can be our leader or guide. The
bad counsels of men and newspapers
holding to the views of Mr.. VALLAND1e-
HAM, the Wooos and others, though we
doubt not they are honestly entertained,
have had bad effect upon the Democratic
party, and consequently upon the country.
They have wrongfully, falsely given the
Democratic party an odor of opposition to
the war and the Government, when the
honest fact is that the Democratic party
is emphatically war party and better
friend to the Government than the party
in power"

The Rockingham (va.l Register pub
lished the marriage Of Miss LUCY P. RoL-
LER, the daughter of wealthy farmer in
that county, and adds:
She was what We would call IAN indepen.
dent girl, sure enough. Her bridal outfit was
all made with her own hands, from her beauti-
full and elegant straw hat down to the hand
some CATERS on her feet! Her own delicate
hands spun and wove the material of which her
wedding dress and travelling cloak were made,
50 that she had nothing upon her person when
abe was married which was not made by her
self! Nor was she compelled by necessity or
poverty to make this exhibition of her indie
pendence. She did it for the purpose of show
Ing to the world how independent Southern
girls are.

A Rich LEGAL PRoesEDaNs.-A novel
proceeding recently took place at the ses-
sion of the Court in Warren county, Pa,
which proves that the dry desert of the
law is now and then snlivened by some
oasis of fun not laid down in the chart of
COKE and LIrrLErox. The members of
the bar Of that county presented to the
Court, Judge JOHNSTON presiding, petit
ton asking the Court, in consideration of
the fact that legal business had become
dull, to select two members of the Warren
bar to attend to the business of the pro-
fession, while the rest of them should be
assigned to some respectable and useful
employment; and that a tax should DO
levied on those who should be assigned
employment outside Of the bar, for the
support Of the two who should remain.
The matter was taken under consideration.

daughters, by his first wife, from whom he
was divorced, only $4,000 each. The

Shall We Have q Draft for Defieien.
cies Under Former Calls9

Our deficiencies under former demands
for troopa amount to 1907 men, which can
be cancelled by raising regiment of cav
airy for the frontier service. The call for
this regiment has been out for several
weeks, but the responses have been SO
meagre that fears are entertained of
draft, additional to that ordered on the 9Th
of January, to make up the deficiency.
The Governor, in his Proclamation, says {:
The slow progress which has been already
made in filling this regiment
necessary for the protection of lives and prop
erty on our border-gives faint hope of sue
cess in raising the number regulate to avoid q
draft.
If we cannot raise the men for this cav
airy regiment-the most pleasant arm q
the service-upon an almost positive as-o.
rance that they will not be called oct Of
the State, the prospect is indesd hopeless
for getting the three thousand additional,
to fill up the old regiments in the field, un-
der the last call of the President; and We
may as we'll make up our minds at once to
stand the draft, which will inevitably take
place on the day appointed.

An English gentleman, says the London

The following incident occurred this week
at the station of the Painbuza railroad. A
Mexican girl-pretty we'll dressed-was pre-
pairing to alight from the carriage, when a
French officer and Mexican officer in spic
and span new uniform offered their hands to,
assist her in alighting. The lady said, "Entye
an in0asory IN traidor prefero Ell primero' be-
tween an invader and traitor prefer the in.
yader), and gave her hand to the Frenchman.
The Mexican started as if he had been shot, his
hat fell off, and he stood for some seconds per
fectly stupe6ed.

Proof Of Marriage.

It not unfrequently happens that cler-
gymen in marrying a couple, omit to give
. certificate of the marriage or to make
any regi tration of it. Such evidence is
rendered especially important just now,
a., in case Of the death of soldier, the
widow must have q certificate of marriage
before she can receive pension. A New
Jersey paper, in speaking Of this subject,
~ It respects that State, says: "Upon
searching the records within the past year
for marriages, nearly half the unfortunate
widows have been turned away with the
remark, The clergyman performing the
ceremony has neglected to comply with
the law. >"
