Madame Jumel, widow OF Aaron Burr, recently
died III New York. She Que of the most remark
able ladies of the COMPATIBILITY accomplished and
possessing uncommon energy. Her marriage with
Col. Burr very singular. Parton, Burrs biogra-
pher tells us that she fatty refused accept him on
two OCCASIONS but the indomitabe Burr replied that
he would be at her residence a certain day. accom-
panied by clergyman, to consummate their marriage
True to his word she day appointed found Burr and
the Rev. Dr. BogIrt who had married Burr fifty years
before at the madame's residence. She refused again
but Burrs being persistent in insisting on the mar
rage, she at last accepted and they were married.
They lived happily together for several months but
Burr having lost large amount of her money in in
VeBting in Texas lands which then Just spec-
lated in, she charged him with ideity and they sep
arated. They were never divorced by law, but in
effect She ever after spoke kindly of Burr and shed
tears at his death. At the time of this his second
marriage Burr seventy-eight years DID, and it is
said an accomplished young lady, who aspired to his
hand and heart, actually wept his marrying anoth-
er What gallant old gentleman he must have been!
We have always been admirer of Burr and we are
pleased to read anything connected with his life,
though we regret to record the death OF his accom-
pshed widow. She was, presume, about seventy
years old at the time of her death.

CHANGE IN FREEpNEY's AFFAIRs.-We learn from
the New Orleans Timer that Mr., Conway the commits
soner of the freedmens bureau, has recently made
some important changes in the conduct OF his depart
ment in this State. Among others, he has changed
the auspices under which the reedmens schools were
conducted, establishing State superntendency, with
district superintendent subordnates instead of the
former board of education Capt Ii. r. Pease is now
the State superintendent and the orders OF Gen How
ard require that this office shall work. far practi

for the conduct OF the affairs of this bureau in

Howard, see by recent letter from him. Gen

be placed at each county in the southern States
Mr.. Conway, with the active cooperation OF Gen.

ANOTHER CoTToN AGENT Cox NG.-The n 0. True
Delta informs US that Gov. Wells has appointed Mr.
Miles Sells State cotton agent, with instructions to
proceed up Red River and seize all cotton which may
have been purchased by Henry w. Allen the governor
of Louisiana under Confederate rule This cotton he
is to ship to New Orleans, where it will be becd and
sold fer the benefit of the State The consignments
are to be accompanied By description of bales,
marks, etc, statement of where and from whom oh
tained and the facts which led the seizure In case
any resistance is offered Mr. Sells is instructed to ap
ply to the nearest military post for assistance in carry
ing out his orders The compensation for his services
is to be the allowed United states cotton
agents.
This will probably create another shaking among
the "dry bones"
