Mrs. HEDGES, wife of j. o. Hedges,
Esq, Of Lamont, while washing, in the
kitchen, few days since, saw, as she
supposed, holder, used about the stove,
lying on the floor. On STOPPING down in
acareless manner, to pick itup, she found
in her grasp substance cold and Shiny.
A glance thereat exhibited to her view q
large snake. It was forthwith dispatched,
and, upon examination, found to be a
rattlesnake, having six rattles. The
snake, on being discovered, was coiled as
is its wont, before making fatal spring
at its victim, and the escape of Mrs.
Hedges, under the circumstances, was al
most miraculous.

In addition to the very lboral interest ON the
notes for three years, this privilege Of. CONVEX
sion is now worth about three per cent per an

less than nine per cent premium, and before the

the actual profit on this loan, at the present

On the average, this exemption is worth about
two per cent per annum, according to the rate

Gen. Lees Bill of Fare.

The Richmond correspondent of the Mo-
bile Advertiser gives the following about
Gen. Lees mode of living:
In Gen. Lees tent meat is eaten but twice
q week, the General not allowing it oftener,
because he believes indulgence in meat to
be criminal in the present Strengthened
condition of the country. His ordinary
dinner consists of head of cabbage boiled
in salt water, and pone of corn bread. In
this connection rather comic story is told
Having invited a number of gentlemen to
dine with him, General Lee, in fit of eX-
travagance, ordered sumptuous repast of
cabbage and middling. The dinner was
served,han behold great pile of cabbage
and bit of middling about four inches
long and two inches across. The guests,
with commendable politeness, unanimously
declined middling, and it remained In the
dish untouched. Next day General Lee,
remembering the delicate tid-bit which had
been so providentially preserved, ordered
his servant to bring that ''middling" The
man hesitated, scratched his head, and
finally owned up. DE fac is, Massa Robert,
dat ar middlin' was borrowed middlin'; we
all didn't had mar spec; an / done paid it
back to de man whar got it from" Gen.
Lee heayed sigh of deepest disappoint-
ment and pitched into his cabbage.

The Morals of Nashville Under
Military Rule.

Correspondence of the Detroit Tribune.l
Some months since it was found there
were four thousand prostitutes ia this city
(Nashville) plying their vocation. To cor
rect matters several hundred of the disor-
derby women were collected together and
shipped off on a steamer. They first at
tempted to land them at Louisville, but the
city authorities interfered. Cincinnati was
then tried, but neither were the people of
that city ambitious of an increase OF popu-
lation by such means. So, after trying sew
eral places, the miserable creatures had to
be brought back again to Nashville. A
new system was then entered upon, viz |:
that of licensing the evil, but hedging it
about with salutary checks. An army sur
geon was detailed for the purpose, and Pc
riodical Investigations are made into each
case. Such women as may safely pursue
their calling, are furnished certificates, and
all Others are sent to a hospital, maintained
under government auspices, by a charge of
two dollars for each certificate issued. 1t
is stated that no fewer than four thousand
such certificates have been granted in this
city. H.H5gU wDu Hg-5fC9 rs.tl .t.

over four feet square, which contain over
three hundred drawers and, secret places.-7

ceived was a prayer book, written in Chal-

The rebel Gems. Rhodes and Gordon

Our losses are very severe, among them
are Gen. D. A. Russell, commanding a
division in the 9Th corps, who was killed
by cannon ball. Gems. Upton, Mcintosh
and Chapman were wounded.
I cannot tell our losses.
The conduct Of our officers and men was

Opequon Creek to Winchester.
The rebels were strong in numbers and
very obstinate in their fighting.
