The Quaniom Wife of Aaron Burr

Nadine Jumel Burr, who died recently at Car
mansvilie, and left estate of nearly million
OF dollars, is sail to have grown morose and
bitter in her old age, TO have had but friend.
For twenty years she had lived the life OF a re-
cluse. refusing to see hardly any one, because she
suspected that all who appreciated her were anx-
iouS TO obtain her money. Forty years ago she
was regarded rs one Of the most beautiful, brlli-
ant, and accomplished women in New York; but
soon after separation from Burr, cloud fell on
her spirit that was never lifted. She was reall V
dead to the world years before she buried. and
those who had been her friends preceded her to
the land of shadows.
Her sole friend have mentioned is young
Episcopal clergyman, who cared for her zealously,
even te1derly, in her last long illness. She was
wont to call Kim her son. aud it is asserted he was
the only human creature for whom she entertained
the smallest affection. As an evidence of her
gratitude and regard she made him her residuary
legatee, which will yield him at least 100000,
and left him funds enough to erect handsome
church the site of the old one. Madame
Burr, or James, she styled herself, retained pos
session OF her intellectual faculties to the last. and
was as biting and sarcastic in her wit. for whic,
she was famous. the day before her death, as in
her glowing prime.

Afray in Washington-Attack upon
General Solomon Meredith.

The Washngtos lntellig igencer of Yesterday says:
Last night, shortly af er ten o'clock, an exciting
afftir occurred in the main hall OF the Metropoli-
tan Hotel. Lieutenant Colonel James ID. Nc
Bride, late of the Sth United States colored artil
lcry, but now clerk in the Treasury Department.
was standing in the hall, when he was approached
bv General Solomon Meredith, who offered him
his hand. Mcbride refused the Generals hand,
but said he had another to settle, and then
drew a riding whip from beneath his coat and
sailed the General. General Meredith being much
stronger thln Colonel Mcbride, he was about to
punish his antagonist severely, when the Colonel
was rescued by the crowd. Mcbride refused to be
piciied. although appealed to by his friends and
by the clerks OF the hotel, and last resort Of
icer Saticl was called in and arres'ed Mcbride,
and took him to the Fourth Ward station, where
Justice Johnson held him to bail in the sum Of
$500 for his appearance this morning, to answer
the charge of assault and battery.
"McBriGe under General Meredith's COM
mand while the latter in command at Padu
cab, Kentucky. lie accused the General of being
his enemy because he commanded colored troops,
and of having had three of his men shot.
"When Gen. Meredith approached Mcbride, lie
did it in perfectly gentlemAny' manner, and pro-
fessed friendship for him; but the latter used in
sulting language, and followed the language up
with blows. At first the General seemed desrous
of avoiding the contest, and appeared to act more
in self-deiense than in anger, until soaded beyond
endurance by the persistence OF his assliant. ii
NAV be added that General Meredith, as we are
assured by disinterested and competent parties,
is in feeble health. having just recovered from a
serious illne and having but recently undergone
a severe surgical operation which almost cost him
his liie."

lie shows them the breadth and leniencv of their
pardons, md all but a very few have them freely
extended to them. He tells them the spirit OF
malice must be banished, and peace and good will
cultivated. He calls upon the freedmen to be qui-
ct, orderly and Industrious, aud show themselves
worthy of their freedom. A good understanding
between the white and black races must be estab-
lished.
He tells the whites to employ their negroes, teach
and encourage them, that their elevation will add
to the power aud importance of the Ssate that il
they are not thus elevated, they will become vag-
abonds. He recommends the white nun to build
schools and foster education. and calls upon the
ministers OF the gospel t. faithfully labor for the
restoration of good will in the State.

there. The letter is dated July 26,h:
"Wc are enc,mped within one hundred yards of

fullest of the term, nothing more than pen
human pen, where thousands of our soldiers were
huddIed together in an inclosure less than 90
yards long, and scarcely 100 yards wide, where
they were exposed TO the rays of an almost tropi-
ci sun. and the shverinS winds of winter. More
than l5.000 men, worn out BY exposure and suff-
eFing. are buried here. This prison pen should
never be permitted to be desfroyed, but should
stand until its stockldes fall tn the ground bv de-

Negroes VS., Rebels.

General Wilder formerly Colonel of the ceie
brated 18th Ind. Reg, in reception speech to
that Regiment and the LIST and Sd Batteries, at In
dianapolis, on the 18th inst, made the following
sensible and Apostle remarks:
There was said General Wilder, good deal OF
anxiety about the way in which the soldiers would
vote. For mis- part he had none. He knew how
the soldiers had been in the habit of shooting, and
he fancied they would vote in the same way
straight at the enemies of the Government. They
were not to be wheeded and bamboozed into the
support of men who had been their enemies, and
those ofthe Government.
The niggcr had been a great bug-bear. Those
who had made use of the niger to bring about the
another revolution. Between niggers and rebels,
he believed the preference ought TO be given TO
,he nigger, but he did not see the necessity Of al
lowing either vote If the South insists on let
ting tue rebels vote, then let the negro vote also.
IL that country must be ruled by rebels negroes,
then let the negro take it, and il don't like his
administration, we will drive him out and take IL
ourselves.
The General said he didn't know any thing a.
bout politics He didn't want to know ANYTHING,
but while he was fighting in the front there were
people here at home who had been his friends, and
the soldiers friends, and he believed in being a
friend to those who had beiriended him.
That's the way to talk. and the way all soldiers
will reason and talk in regard to voting. They
understand too well the danger to the country oI
ever again allowing the Copperheads to get into
power, to be wheedled into voting for one of the
Shiny tribe under any pretense. They may be op
posed to enfranchsing the negro at present, and SO
are most Of the Union men, but they are equal
opposed to rebels voting. equally opposed to as
suming the Confederate war debt, and pensioning
rebel soldiers and the wives and children of those
who have died or been killed in the confederate
service, all which the Copperheads are in favor Of

merchant from Iowa, who had just finished pur-
chasing stock of goods. He was very communi-

the farmer, who quickly confded too much to the
attractive stranger. In the course Of their conver

his business in the city, and was politely informed
that a North Side grocery house, where the stran-
ger did his trading, was the most advantageous
place in the city for purchasing. and that he would
introduce him there in the morning. With this
understanding they retired for the night.
Both were up early this morning, and Mt six o.
clock set out to visit the grocery house, crossing
Rush street BRIDGE then turning to the right. and

thoroughfare they discovered man weeping vig-
