Remarkable Feature of the Recruiting
Movsment-Persons Physic ally Dis
quRlihed for Service "Markedn by
the Surgeons.
Some Of the Surgeons attached to the Provost
Marshal's offices In this city have devised a
new and exceedingly effective scheme for the
treatment of persons who propose to enlist,
but are found physically Incompetent to en-
duro the hardships Of the service. Such per-
sons are marked" upon their backs. It is
understood that the surgeons object to the use
Of the word " branded"
It is alleged on behalf Of the surgeons that
this "marking" is done for their own con-
venlence and projections that II ls private
arrangement of theirs, that the Provost Mar
shal Generals department has nothing to do
with II, and has no knowledge OF the facts; and
that the result is positive benefit to the ser.
Vice, because IL obviates the possibility Of ae-
cepting q man who has been pronounced physl-
cally incompetent to do duty.
The abuse at which this measure Is aimed. .is
extensively practiced by the brokers, who take
men rejected at one office to another one, and,
II again rejected, TO still another, and go on, In
the hope that they may find n surgeon who will
overlook the cause of disability aud accept the
recruit. II successful in his efforts, the broker
gets a high compensation.
The process of marking" " men is not pub.
llcly known, and the physicians do not divulgt
their secret. The work is done during the ex
animation, and so quietly, II is said, that tn,

performed upon him.

DOUGLAS JERRoLD.-0ne of the most touch

the late Douglas Jerrold, we do not remember
to have seen before. If 1t has already received
the imprim0fT it will bear repetition. One
evening JerrOld was at a party where several
other literary men aud publishers were assem-

tapbs. Jerrold gave his opinion that an epitaph
should not consist of more than one or two
words, including the name. When the laugh
had subslded-for no one dreamed he was in

handed piece of paper and pencil to Jerrold,

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1l.-Information from
Marietta to the 9th Instant, gives the particu-
lars Of Stoneman's raid. On July 7th, the
5th and 9th Indiana cavalry and two sections
Of the Goth Indiana battery, set out for Macon,
10 relieve the Union officers imprisoned there.
The expedition arrived too late, the rebels hav-
ing removed the prisoners to place Of greater
security.
General McCook's force started at the same
time TO effect a junction with stoneman, but
were overtaken by an overpowerlng force, and
were obliged to let Stoneman's command cut
Its way out. The rebels attacked them on Sat-
urday, July 80, and the engagement lasted all
that day until late at night. sunday morui ug
found them completely surrounded, and Col.
Adams finding resistance hopeless, escaped to
Marietta.
Col. Capron, with his command, escaped
once, but was again surrounded, and his men
were cut to pieces. The 9th Indiana also cut
through the enemy's ranks, but were again at
tackled, and their fate is unknown.

A Spirited Fight Between Two Girls at
Church.

From the ST. JosC phi Herald, 2sth ] -...
On last Sabbath, while church was being
held about six miles north of Albany, Gentry
county, a party Of militia entered the place 70
secure horses with which TO enter the service
under the cell of General Fisk. A Union girl
promptly came forward aud placed her animal
at the service Of the boys, and also pointed out
to them another fine steed, which she remarked
was the property Of secesh lady friend Of
hers. A Union trooper was soon astride OF
the contraband," and was about to leave with
him, when the lady owner made her appear
ance, and protested against giving him up,
The Union girl urged the soldier to go along;
she had voluntarily contributed her horse, and
insisted that the secesh horse should also do
duty.
At this the rebel girl swelled up big with
wrath, and applied all sorts of opprohrious
| epithets 10 Miss Union, who, in turn, "blled
over" and while the steam was up, pitched in
and knocked her opponent fiat on the ground,
aud then jumped upon her aud pounded away
at a terrible rate. DR.. Wills, Of that vicinity,
finally parted the Amazons, but they didn't
stay parted, and were soon blazing away at
each other again, accompanying their blows
with screams of defiance. Their gay Sunday
dresses were soon in shreds; long, beautiful
tresses of hair were mixed with blood from
dainty noses, SC. The by-standers, despair.
ing of putting an end to the row, formed q
circle, and seated themselves to enJ oy the ex-
hibitiou In regular prize ring style. The CON.
batants fought long and wen until Miss Union
seized Miss secesh by the throat, and succeed
ed in stopping her wind, when she fell to the
ground and gave up the battle. The parties
were then duly cared for by their friends.
There Is no fiction about this. 1t actually
occurred at the time and place related above
as several of the Gentry boys now here car
testify.

bChhu" h"ohR hhkhhh ArtbtoCThCys
The London correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal has the following;
A magnificent bit Of scandal in high life has
partially divided the attention and Interest of
the community with the great murder case
As these people will do such things, see no
reason why should not give their names. The
facts arc briefly these; One day last week the
Marquis Of Hastings and Lady Florence Paget
were married. The bridegroom is about TWEEN.
ty-three years OF age. and the heir TO one of the
wealthiest and most arlstocratlc families in
England. The bride is q little younger, of
a family quite as proud and aristicratic, and
ticular favorltes and personal attendants Of the
Queen. Under ordinary circumstances the
match might have been regarded as a very suit
able one, and the papers would have been full
of the grand doings on the occasion.
Itturns out, however, that the lady In ques-
tion was a mother before she was a wife, and
that bouncing boy, now about year old, at.
tests tho fact that she had before loved some
body "nOt wisely, but too we'll" The gallant
LothariO in the case proves To be no other than
his royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, the
cousin of the Queen, and commander-in. chief
of the British army, the successor OF the i'm
mortal Duke of Wellington. The fact was
well known before to the circle In which the
parties moved, but had been carefully hushed
up, and had scarcely reached the ears of the
common people. 1t is said that the Marquis
was thoroughly acquainted with this chapter
in the history Of his lady-loye, but was go in.
fatuated with her personal charms that the
appeals Of his family and friends could not re
strain his youthful impCtuosity. There was,
in consequence, an elopement, and the town Il
now full of the story. of course, IN these great
people, such things are all right. The Duke o
Cambridge will not be In disgrace at court nor
anywhere else, and / presume the Lady Flor
ence Hastings, nee Peget, will be the chief at
traction at the next drawing room. -.

serted twelve different times. He had lost one
OF his eyes, and falling into the hands of sub

and he was sent to the army. There he soon
lost his eye again, or rather removed II and put
1t into his pocket and obtained his discharge.
This process he several times repeated, aud
when unable to get his discharge he deserted.
Unfortunately thirteen proved an unluckynum-

was tried and sentenced to be shot.
