SHOCKING AFFArR-A NAN hurried
ALIVE

From the Champaign GILL Union, Fsb.ig1
story has been floating about town for
several days which seems Incredible, but it
has came TO "a from 20 many sources that we
are hardly permitted to doubt Il, though we
have not yet been able 10 learn full particu-
lars We give the story as il comes TO US,
and leave our readers to take il with what
grains Of allowance they may. The tale
runs that returned soldier was found frozen
in the grove near Urbana, and taken into
barn, where he Laid for several days before
burial. Soon after his interment while
some men were engaged in digging grave,
they heard strange sounds, which 20 fright
ened them that they ieff the cemetery in
haste, under the impression that ghosts and
COLLINS had taken possession Of tho city Of
the dead. Their wonderful story deter
mined others TO investigate the matter, and
the grave of the soldier was opened, when
the horrible discovery was made thai he had
been buried alive, his body yet retaining
some warmth, though the vital spark had
fed. The noises that had attracted attention
are supposed 10 have been made BY the vic
tim in his desperate struggles 70 escape
fate too awful 20 contemplate.

THE OPERA.
The opera commences here tonight. The
boxes are sold at 500 for the season Of six
operas and have been bought by the class al
luded to, who, feeling they have no other
claim 10 consideration, use every oPpoEtu-
nifty Of displaying their money. As those
amcag them who, cannot get boxes obtain
the most conspicuous they can find, and pos-
sess no operate tastes, they are a terrible in
Fiction on those who do. During the six
nights of Italian opera here they made it
almost impossible to hear even the steato-

shame an usher had TO go to private box

Referring to the runner which has obtained
such general circulation, that the family of
the great and good Jackson were in desti-
tute condition-which we were prompt to
discredit when it first appeared--his widow,
in recent letter to friend in Richmond,
says:
II is a source Of deep regret and NORTH
cation to me, and 10 my family and friends,
that such misunderstanding should exist
IN regard to my circumstances. II il true
that almost the whole Of my little fortune
has been swept away. Ny noble husband
actuated by patriotism, Invested in Confed-
crate bonds, TO assist the Government, and
following his example, the consequences wis
the loss Of nearly the whole Of his estats I;
but God has still LEFT 70 me one of the kini-
est OF fathers, who has the means Of prcvbl-
ing all comforts Of life for me and my orphan
child.
The pecuniary suiierings Of others in our
afflicted land have been SO much greater
than my own, that, in this respect have
only need Of a mere thankfal heart. And
!, of all Others, should have no fears for the
futare--for the cOvenant-keepiDg God OF
my husband has watched over us hereto
fore, and the love of this great people to
me and my little child, on his aecosnt, nils
my heart with grateful Joy.
While it is one Of the greatest comforts Of
my desOlated life to see the many beautiful
and eloquent tributes to the memory Of my
beloved husband, and would gratefully ac-
cept any offerings that are voluntarily given
as testimonials of love and gratitude in him,
yet the contributions that are nov called for
are given under false impression; and ii IL
inconsistent with ideas Of honor and recti-
tude to receive them. i would, therefore,
beg that all efforts that are made to raise a
fund for my "relief," both in Charleston and
elsewhere, be Immediately stopped.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT IUAREz.

I'll PAsO, December 2S, 1865.
My DEAR SIR:-I have received your IA
yor of the 18th of October, in which YOU
acknowledge receipt of mine of the 18th of
August. You will soon receive if it is not
already in your hands, the one / sent you in
November, announcing the withdrawal Of
the French from Chihuahua and other points
on this frontier, and my departure for the
capital of this State, where | arrived on the
10th of that month. A few DAYS afferward.
and without our being able up to the present
time to learn the object of so many marches
and countermarches, the enemy again COM
menced a new expedition TO re-occupy Chi
huahua, which took place on the 18th. On the
9th | left there, and on the 18th arrived here
without incident. By these movements the
enemy has in no way improved his situation;
he is only consuming his last resources and
demoralizing his forces. With the attitude
that the Government of the United States
has lately assumed, Macmillan has now not
the slightest probability Of eementing his
so-called throne.
He must see very clearly that even should
he arrive at the complete conquest of the
country, occupying with his forces even to
the utmost limits of the Republic, and des-
troying the national Government, which,
however, will never take place, the United
States will never permit him to consolidate
his power, and his sacrifices and his yicto-
ries will have counted fot nothing. This
certain result is already the conviction of
all; it has augmented the increasing discour-
agemsnt Of our opponents, and has reani-
mated the public spirit on our side to such
an extent that, in my judgment, without the
necessity of the United States taking any
direct part in our war, we shall ourselves
alone be able to obtain the definite triemph
of the cause of the national independence.
Such Is nay desire, and to such a result all
my efforts are directed. Although Napo-
leon, from his pride and the habitual depre-
citation with which he has treated us, NAV
not be ready to propose terms, yet the time
is soon coming when he will be glad to ac-
cept those we proposed before the war. For
ourselves, we viii propose nor accept any
thing, absolutely nothing, which in the
slightest degree can imply any recognition
Of the intervention, or that may be contrary
to the honor and dignity of the country.
Have little patience, and the time will
soon come when you can return to our coun-
try, free at last from all oppressors.
Truly your friend, BESIro JUAaEz

nine o'clock an alarm was raised on JefIcr-

Of pistol, fired in disreputable house Kept
by person known a. L0Tej0y. A woman
named Melville, who came 10 the houso some
three weeks since from Nashville, and Sn oc-
sional visitor Of the place, known there a.
Pete Bowman, also from Nashville, and said
10 be Of reputable family, sere both severely
wounded. ltappeas that the man, Bowman,
had been drinking freely probably crazy.
He shot himself through the neck, iniiicfins
terrible wound, and the ball entered the
back Of the girl Melville, who was in the
same room with him. The ball crushed the
inner part Of the shoulder blade, and passed
inward beyond the reach Of the ssIigeon's
probes. She was placed under the iniln-
ence Of chlorofcrm while the wound was
probed. Her expressions willis uneerscious
were, some Of them, very touching. ST /

Berlin Jan. ~ Cor. London Times.1
An American controversy In our papers
is rare event. and interesting in ITSELF in
dependent Of the question at issue. The
other day Mr.. Wright, the American Envoy,
was made the object of an attack in Berlin
paper for encouraging the erection of Meth
odist church here. As the article pretended
70 speak in the name Of the American resi-
dents in Berlin, the latter thought il il in
cumbent upon them TO publish protest re-
pelling the idea that the religious zeal of
their political representative had been re-
garded with anything like dissatisfaction by
his countrymen, and expressing TO him those
feelings of general respect which have 20 en-
inently rewarded his official activity during
his present and former stay in this capital.
The protest is signed by Mr.. Knox, ssmem-
Der Of Congress, Mr.. Fay, for many years
American Envoy 10 the Swiss Confederacy,
and large number Of other gentlemen.
among whom are eight clergyman Of differ
ent Protestant denominations. It appears
that the attack Is the more unfounded a. the
new church is only intended 10 replace ahall
which has long been rented by the American
Methodist missionaries here, and which, a.
Protestant clergymen Of all denominations
are constantly invited 10 preach in Il, Is fire.
quented by all sorts promiscuOusly, and re-
garded as the American church Of Berlin.
The matter has attracted considerable stten-
ton, the Prussians, who are tolerance itself,
being not only at loss to understand what
blame can possibly be attached TO promoting
the erection Of Christian Church, but also
entertaining particular respect for the doc
trine and discipline Of the Moravian breth-
rem, which, I believe, were subsequently
copied by John Wesley.
