AmalgamatiOn---A Scene on New
Orleans Packet.

The Louisville Democrat Of the 9Th
ult. tells the following story
The steamer Luminarv arrived here
yesterday from New Orleans, and from
persons who came up on the boat we learn
the following facts Of an incident which
occurred on the up trip of that boat A
man giving his name as Thomas, and
protesting to be a lieutenant in a colored
regiment, came on board at Vicksburr,
accompanied by negro woman whom
he claimed to be his wife, and demanded
a state room for the couple. The officers
of the boat told him be could have a
room for himself, but that the uegress
must 60 into the nursery.
The professed Lieutenant appeared to
be greatly incensed from being separated
from his 'Jair Jride," but finding that the
officers were determined, he submitted.
When the boat left Vicksburg. the pass
engers who had Witnessed the above,
went TO Thomas and asked to see bis dis
charge or commission, but being unable
to show either he was compelled to 20 on
deck after his shoulder straps had been
stripped from his shoulders. On arriv>
ing at Memphis. Lieut.. Thomas and bis
sable bride were put ashore. They after
wards attempted to procure passage on
the Tarascon for this city, but were re-
fused.
The affair created some excitement and
disgust on the Luminary, as it naturally
should, and it was with some pains that
they could be prevented from throwing
the proiessed lieutenant overheard.
Thomas claimed to be from Ohio.

TO the laws Of the States, they are enti.

are in a minority even il they meant now

The Courts on Confederate Cur

rency.
We learn from the Fayetteville pa.
pcrs, says the Union and American, that
Chancellor Steele, at the term OF the
Chanccry Court just closed at that
place, decided upon n case before him :
1st. That the payment by parties Of
Confederate Treasury notes into the
Office Of the Clerk and Master was We-
!gai and ,oid, and therefore no payment /;
although they may have, by so doing,
taken up their notes. Quite n number
OF judgments were rendering against
such parties, and they will now be re
CURED to pay the amount ofthcir notes
over again in lcgai currency.
I'd. That the DEGREES Of the former
Chancellor ordering the Clerk and
Master either to receive monies due the
Office in Confederate Treasury notes,
or to invest the same in the bonds OF
the Confederate Government, were oJ-
Soluicly rail.
The effect Of this decision is to re
licyc the Clerk and Master from all res
possibility in reference to the payment
Of this character Of money into his
Office.
