Singular Case of Double Marriage.

The Steubenviilo Courier relates the fol-
lowing singular account Of how woman
came to have two husbands
We have board of great many wild ro-
'nances, singular stories and queer crcum-
stances growing out Of the presen. war.
Blu, fact is sometimes stranger than fiction,
as the case VIC are about to relate will show.
When the war first broke out, young mar
ried man of this city volunteered in the sor-
vice Of his country. left bis young wife and
child, and went forth to fight his country's
battles. His regiment was hotly engaged
at the battle of Perryv;llo, and he was re.
ported among the killed. Indeed. tbera
seemed to bo 10 doub. as to the fac, Of ha
death. sovoral Of his comrades declaring tba,
they had seon him fall, and know where bo
was buried Tho sad news of his doaib
was brought to his wife, and, after the first
waves OF bitter sorrow that swept over her
soul had subsided, sho determined TO have
bis remains brought home. She was an.
sisted in the undertaking by kind friends.
and two months or more after, q metallic
coffin containing what purported to bo tho
remains o. the supposed deceased, was
brought to this city, and, with the accus-
toned burial rites, was inferred in the Gem.

as to his death in tho manner stated, and
the young wife, after mourning his death
for over year, received and accepted o
second offer of marriage. Her present nus.
band is worthy man, and, during the four
or five months since their marriage. they
have been living iu uudisturbed happiness.
But at last shadow has eclipsed their sun.

Grant and Ruell

1t is related Of Grant that, after the bat.
lie OF Shiloh, and his complete victory at
that point, Gen. Buell., thorough sol.
dier. began criticising in friendly way
the impolicy Of his having fought battle
with the Tennessee river behind his men.
"Where, if beaten. could you have re-
treated, Genersl?" asked Buell.. II
didn't mean 10 be beaten" was Grants
sententious reply. "But suppose YOU
had been defeated, despite all your exer-
,ions?" "Well, there were all the trans.
ports 10 carry the remains Of the COM
mand across the river" "But, General"
urged Buell., "your whole transports
could not contain even ten thousand men,
and it would be impossible for them to
make more than one trip in the face of
the enemy" Well,if had been beaten"
said Gen. Grant, parsing to light anoth-
er cigar as he spoke. Transportation for
ten thousand men would have been abun-
dan: for all that would be left of S.
This anecdote is eminently character
istic. the data for the proper appreciation
OF it being tina; Grant h.A about fifty
thousand men over the river.

Ii is apparent that some of the rabid reb.
els entertain no great regard for the Pu-

expressed himself in these rather decided
terms:
