weeks prior to the Baltimore conyentien,
before It was known that Governor johnson

course the city was greatly excited. Said
Moody 81 went in search of Johnson at the
edge of the evening, and found him at his
efice, eloseted with two gentlemen, who
were walking the floor with hin. one on each
side. As entered they retired, leaving me
alone with johnson, who came up to me
manifssting intense feefing. and said,
Moody, We are sold out! Buel is traitor!

said johnson: and instantly both went down
upon their knees at opposite sides of the
room. AS the prayer became fervent, John
son began correspond in true Methodist
style. Presently he crawled over on his
hands and knees to Moody's side, and put
his arm over him, manifssting the deepest
emotion. Closing the prayer with hearty

took long breath, and said with emphasis,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Geo. TOdd'


We learn from a gentleman Just from
Lexington, Mo-, that the hus6whackers
have all come in and surrendered. There
are now no guerillas in that section of the
State.
A Lieutenant in Geo. Todd's old com
paqy makes the following statement: =
The gusrrillas lately operating in Jack
son and adjoining counties were here bJ
authority of the rebel War Department..
Qauntrell was commissioned, with pow
er to appoint officers. They had two com
panies of about eighty men each. When
it exceeded that amount they were detailed
into the regular rebel army.
The Companies were governed by the
most rigid rules, and the punishment foT
coWardice and like offenses was either death
or disarmIng and dismounting. the guilty
party being turned loose TO be deVoured by
Federal scouts.
The lesser crimes Of playing sick, shirk-
ing duty, grumbling ineficiency. etc, we're
punished by being detailed and sent South
10 the regular armies.
Their object and purpose was to draw
the attention of Federal troops from the
main lines of operation. They estimate
sHaI lot every one Oh tneGa al least twenty
five Federals we're needed TO watch them.
They have not lost any men by sickness,
which singular fact they attribute to the
absence of physicians. When men were
wounded, they Werss taken of to a safe
place in the woods, and a man detailed &c
attend them. If not ft for any further
duty, as soon as practicable they were sem
to Texas. sal
If in need Of surgeon, they sent fol-
one, paid him well for it, and he kept hic
mouth shut; if not, they pat him out o
theWay. VI
They say they could have taken Kansa,
/ City at almost any time, if they had so de
sired, but that the destruction of Kansas
City would have been q disaster to them
for it was their chief base of supplies
They procured from it powder, lead, gro

Singular Case of Suicide and Mistaken
Identity.


The fact that young lady drowned her
self on the opposite side of the river on the
Cd, inst, was mentioned in this place on
Wednesday last. We have heard since
that the body was recovered, an inquest
held, and the verdict was that the deceased,
whose name was Elizabeth Lederer, had
drowned herself on account of 'smatri-
monial- disappointment bye. one Andrew
Funkhoussr." Who the false Andrew is
We could not learn, nor the circumstances
of the matrimonial disappointment" II
is presumed however, that Funkhouser
promised marriage and few the track.
Miss LedereF lived in this city. On the
day she drowned herself she made two trips
across the river, walking up and down the
bank, as if meditating the deed, but not
quite resolved to MAKE the fatal plunge.
On her last visit to Venice she sat under a
tree for some time, gazing upon the troub-
led waters in evident distress. Soon after
the ferry boat had left the shore she was
seen to rise from her seat, run to the river,
and wade in until she disappeared under
the water. She was caught a short dis
tanee below by soma boys in a skiff, but
her heart had ceased her troubles were end
ed.
After the body had been taken on shore,
and before the inquest. among those who
went to view it, was an old man named
Linck, living near Vince. He recognized
it as his own daughter, and came over to
st. Louis and purchased coffin to have the
poor girl decently buried. On going back
with the coffin, one of the frsr persons he
met was his daughter, whom he supposed
dead, and who appeared before him to in
form him of his mistake. The old man was
.overjoyed at seeing his daughter alive, and
the coffin was used for the burial of the poor
sRieide.-a. Louis Democrat.

TIRE NAME OF ILLMoIs-A cotsmporarv
says the name of the State of Illinois Oricins-
ted in this manner:
ga party of Frsnchmen set out upon An
exploring expedition down the river, which
they afterwards named, providing them
selves with bark canvass, and relying chief
y for their existence upon the game. They
found ct the confluence of this river with
the Mississippi, an island thickly woodsd
with black walnut. It was at a season of
the year when the nuts were ripe, and this
party of explorers, eneamping upon the is
land, greatly enjoyed the. luxury of this
fruit From this circumstance they called
the island the Island of nuts, or, in French.
