sUIcrDE. - Charlotte Brown committed
suicide at Amelia Streets brothol, in Smoky
Row, and died att o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Il appears hat she was living at a
house Of in lame in Louisville, when Roxey
Myers, a street walker Of this city, became
acquainted with her, aud by pretending to
be a vlrtuOus woman, induced her 70 come
to this place to lead an upright life. She
came, and Roxey introduced her into one OF
the lowest houses in Smokey. She has per-
sued a downward course ever since. She
has frequently expressed her intention to
commit tho deed, and while in Louisville
took Laadunum Tor thAtpurpOss but failed.
She has been heard 70 say that her former
home was in McMinnviIle, Tennessee, and
hat her parents were dead. She was only
sixteen yesFa old but much dissipated.
Goldsmith says:
when lovely woman stoops 10 folly,
And finds 100 late that men betray,
What charms can s0othe her melancholy,
What ara can wash her guilt away
The only art her guilt 10 cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance 20 her lover,
And wiring his bosOm-is tOdie."
Let Us be charitable. Victor Hugo has
perhaps influenced the public mind TO this
end more than any other modern writer
AT least give her the charity due to ami
NAL nature.

DIsunIOn an ImpossibiIIty.

In the campaign of 1860, in Georgia, a
prominent politician made a Gisurion
speech. An Individual who styled HIM
self "The aforesaid NJ D'' was hoisted to
the platform, to speak in opposition. He
was somewhat under the influence of the
enemy which men sometimes put in their
mouths, but nevertheless succeeded in
making the biggest and best Union speech
on record. He said:
Gentlemen and ladies, you're talkin,
of dissolvin' the Union. You can't do it !:
If you SO to ell you can't do it Thar's
that ere flag a-wavin' up thar called the
Star Spangled Banner : how're ye goin'
TO divide that ? Are you a goin' to give
the stars to the Norf and the Stripes to
the SOuf? No, sir-ee the thing can't bo
did. [Cheers.
"And thar's that good old toou that the
bands a playin' ont thar, called Yankee
Doodle. How're ye goin' to divide that.
Are ye goin' to give the Yankee to the
Norf, and the Doodle to the Souf? l
say, boldly, the thing can't be did Him.

"And tbar's that stream O. water runs
hin down called the Father o. Waters.
How're ye goin' to divide that Are
ye goin to dam it with Mason an Dix

Wal, ye can't [Cheers-
"And thar's the railroad lyin' out thar.
How're ye goin' to divide that? Are We

"And thar's all the fast bosses standin'

1t was midnight in East Tennessee
not the night of nature, but the middle O
that dark and detestable night during
which that prosecuted region was crushed
under the Davis cespotism 1t was the
political midnight of East Tennessee
AT twilight, young man and Young
girl sat at the open window of fine man
sion near pleasant little village-a vii,
lage now almost swept out of existence by
the sirocco breath of war
The girl was Mary Basham, an orphan,
who, with her brother Richard, had in,
herited the splendid property of her pa
rents, consisting mostly of land and slaves.
The greater part Of the slaves had been
lett to her brother, but the mansion be-
longed TO them in common, and she also
owned sum in Louisville bank shares.
Her brother had taken up arms in the
rebel cause, and was then a captain of
guerillas. Mary Basham was considered
"great catch," and it was certainly
strange, if not improper, in Mrs. Grundy's
eyes, that she should love that fair haired
young man who sat by her side at the
open window, for Ernest Fielder had no
riches, except a fair share of talent and a
true, honest heart. Consequently he was
worse than "a Yankee, and marriage with
him would have been as bad misalliance
as Mary Basham could make
"You are foolish, Ernest" said the
girl, as she plucked flower from a vine
and pulled it to pieces. GWhat is the
Union to you that you are anxious to make
yourself martyr for its sake? Besides,
what can you do for the Union by hiding
out in the woods and mountains, and be-
ing hunted down at last, and hung, or
shot, or imprisoned? So far, although
you have been subject to annoyance, you
have escaped harm and now, if you will
simply submit to the new order of things,
all will be well, and you will not be
troubled"
"The Union is everything to me, Mary
Basham," said the young man, "for it
sheltered me when came to this country
an exile, and under the Union [ have en-
joyed the fruit of my labor, and have been
happy and contented. It would be worse
than ingratitude to desert it now, because
happen to be among its enemies"
''Then you will leave me ?" said the
girl, as she tore flower passiona:ely.
81 must, Mary, unless you can be con-
Vlnced that it is polite as we'll as right to
seek peace and safety on Union ground.
but that is not to be expected, and do
not wonder at you, being slave owner"
"Bother the slaves W broke in the i'm
petuous girl. "They are more trouble
than they are worth, and always we're
DICK Basham is welcome to all of them,
u ne wants them, except Bessy and Jim.
L always feel as if belong to them moro
than they belong to me, and the feeling is
lrksOme. But as for those guerilla bands !

1t was then moved and adopted that the
Reference Committee, with the addition of
the Secretary, be instructed to prepare and
report this evening Rules and Regulations
for the government of the Board.
There being no further business tho
Board then adjourned to this evening at 7
o'clock, when the work Of organizing will
be completed.
From tho character of the gentlemen
who constitute this Board and have been
active in bringing about its establishment.
there is no reason to doubt that it will
prove permanent success. The advanta-
ges Of such body are obvious, especially
to those who areinvesting in stock, of what
ever kind. A Board of this character es-
tablishes the actual market value of stocks,
and the party desiring to sell or buy sthus
able, by the payment of a small admission
fee, to avail himself of the collective views
of large number of business men, instead
of being compelled to submit to the views
of individual dealers.
Similar Boards in Chicago and Pittsburgh
are now in successful operation, and we
cannot see any reason why the same result
will not follow here.
Tho sessions of the Board will be held
evenings.
