cumstances Of his last illness and
death, with the occasion which sud.
J, denly convulsed q frame from per
iect health into q wreck, and mere
shadow, may be mentioned as a his
torical fact. William L. Yancey
came to his end by violence. Itwas
toward the close of the second ses.
sion ofthe first Confederate Congress.
that he broke from the counsels and
influence of Mr.. Davis, and became.
with Mr.. Henry s. Foote, a leader Of
the opposition. Mr.. Ben. Hill, q
senator from Georgia, had likewise
changed his front, and was remark.
able for the eeruestness, personal In
terest and persIstentcy with which
he sustained the measures Of an sd.
ministratlon to which his allegiance
had been given but late in the day.
Mr.. fancey, it will be remembered,
had returned from an unsucc essfui
mission to Europe, and was repre-.
senting Alabama in the Confederate
Senate.
The question of navy was under
discussion In secret session. The
debate ranged beyond the parliamen-
tary limits, and Messrs. Yancey and
Hill became animated over the alb.
stract doctrines of State rights and
the divinity of slavery High words
passed, and finally the lie was given
by Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Yancey leaped for.
ward, and as he aimed blow at his
adversary, was caught in the arms of
the latter and violently thrown back
over a desk. Mr.. Hill is a man of
wonderful muscular Development
Mr.. Yancey was never very heavy,
though 1.-THE and active. In the fall
his spine was seriously injured, and
when the bystanders rushed upon
the two and dragged the one from
the other. the great fire eater lay un-
conscious upon the floor, with little
trickle of blood oozing from his lips.
He was carried to his hotel; q vote of
secrecy was passed, and the encoun.
ter hushed up. No one in Richmond
except that body of men, knew of
the circumstance for six months af.
ter. Meanwhile the victim did not
recover. He dropped from day to
day. He became listless, hopeless
and vacant. He was transferred to
his own home, where his commissions
ceased few weeks before his death,
which was tranquil and calm.

THE WOMAN WHO HOOKED
RUGS.
By CLARA AUGUSTA.

Mrs. Ellen Pearson was nuisance
Ifit had been practicable, the peo
pie ofLogville would have petitioneC
the State Legislature to have he
abated. She was perfectly sane OF
all points but one, and there she
was mad as a March, hare. Rag:
we're her especial delight, and work,
ing them into rugs constituted hel
earthly happiness. She asked fol
no higher felicity. Her friends
shuned her as they would the plague
They dreaded to see her coming
for her invariable salution was:
"Hain'tyou got few rags to give
me2 I've got rug in, and I've raked
and scraped the house, but 1 cant
find quite enough to finish it."
Her husband, Mr.. Elisha Pear
son, was a martyr. Sometimes he
rebelled, bit for the most part lie was
patient and hopeful as John Rogers.
She was always hooking q rug
The oldest inhabitant could not re
member the time when she was not
thus engaged. Her children ran
wild; her house work did itself; her
husbands clothes went to ruin, and
if she combed her hair once a week.
she lemoaned the loss of time for
twenty four hours afterward. She
put.everything into rugs. Her chill
dren went half frozen, that their
fannels might figure in these lowered
abominasions; her own dresses were
never half worn when sacrificed, and
poor Mr.. Pearson had to keep his
spare clothes under lock and key
One day he wanted to go the village,
and asked his wife for his clean
flannel shirt.
Lawful heart!' said che, you
havn't got one. / failed for red in
that cherry rug of mine, and took
your shirt to finish out the scroll.
And now, think of it, you mustn't
go away till you git me some moss
out in the woods to color the ground
work of the rug I got in yesterday.
l shan't have half yellow enough,
neither to finish that sunfiower.'
Mr.. Pearson slammed the door
behind him,-a mild form of swearing
which he occasionally INDUCED in.
After he was gone, his wife
shortened the tail of his Sunday coat
a couple of inches, and put the cut
Lings into her rug.
Judge Giles, an old friend OF her
came to Logville to deliv-
er a lecture on The Dignity of Man
hood, and he stopped to tea with
Mr.. Pearson. Mrs. Pearson could
not take her eyes off his clothes.
Just for all the world she said to
her daughter Minnie, ''like the lalock
color in my rug, and / can't git a.
81 eek of that peculiar shade any
where. His coat is full six inches to
long too look we'll
After tea, the Judge removed his
coat, it bt ing exceedingly warm,--,
and got into a dressing gown, Of
MIR. Peason's, to look over his notes.
And Mrs. Pearson fell into a ter
rible temptation. There was the
coat,-full six inches too long in her
opinion.-and the very identical
color she needed to complete her
favorite rug. She tried the scissors
on the cloth. She did not think she !
was stealing; such an idea never
entered her head. She was insane
On the subject OF rags. she cut a |
little place, then little more, and !

We learn that Miss Dix resigned in August
last the superintendent Of women nurses in
the general hospitals, which are being rapidly
closed, and that on the LIST instant an order was
issued mastering all such nurses out Of the
S ervice.
Miss Dix's resignation was to take effect on
the LIST instant The great value Of her services
in the hospitals and on the field Of battle, in pro-
vidng for the sick and wounded, is, we are sure,
Justly appreciated by the country, as it is
by the army. There are few instances on re-
cord of such devoted, self-Sacrifcing, untiring
and gratuitous labor as that which she
and many other ladies less known have per-
formed during the last four years Of war. The

Major-Gen. Meigs seems to have got himself
INTO predicament. He rashly rushed into

statement in relation to the relief of Sumter.
Discovering, in some way, that he had better
nave left the matter alone, he turns, like the
boy who couldn't whip another boy but could
make mouths at his sister, upon The TRIBUNE
and charges it with false differences. The truth
IS that The TRIBUNE made no differences what.
ever, but simply gave an editorial summary Of
the statement Of Capt. Fox. Gen. Meigs had
better have left bad enough alone, for this at
tempt to cover blunder is too transparent to

A contemporary alludes to the defeat of
Johnston as President Of tho Richmond and

Southern "loyalty." The healthy part is that
the stockholders gave Johnston large ma

representing large part of the stock and held
by Gov. Pierpont, defeated him. If the idols
of the South are broken it still persists in
cinging to them.
