A Primitive Marriage.

A Sodus correspondent of the
Lyon Wayne CO., N. W Re-
publican, tells about a wedding
that recently came under his
observation in that town, which
for simplicity and economy fairly
"knocks the spots from anything
of the sort we ever heard of. The
ceremony took place at the minis
ter's residence, the good man be-
ing called in from hoeing his cab
bages to zine" the anxious couple,
The knot was tied, the blessing
pronounced, the customary salute
claimed, and the fee-two fifty cent
"shinnies," and ragged ten-cen-
ter paid over; the minister return
ed to his cabbages, and the bride
and groom started for shady spot
under a large tree by the roadside
half a mile off. Reaching this,
they got out, took off the horses
headstalls, cut them a feed of grass
from the roadside, and then seat
ed themselves lovingly under a
tree. Then the bride drew from
her pocket a handkerchief contain
ing bread and meat and cheese,
and the groom extricated from
the recesses of his coat skirts a
quart bottle; then the two pro-
ceeded to eat the first square
meal" of their welded life, as CO.
silly as if they were seated at the
most elaborate and elegant repast
that ever followed a marriage GER
emony. Success to them, say we!
and we know they'll find it.

A Hard Hit.

Beast Butler was expected in
Evansville, Indiana, to make a
speech In behalf of the Rump
cause. The Courier of that city
squibs as follows of the prospect
i've coming:
Take ..Time By the Eorelock." y
Silver and gold watches should be
buried with great care and at
once. Put them down in the
holes at least thirty feet deep
Reason-Thief Butler is coming!
Bury your Ralambles-It is by
no means certain that by burying
gold and silver ware, it is safe from
discovery. Our wealthy citizens
should attend to the interment of
their valuables at midnight, and
let no one about the premises have
the least information us to the To-
cality. If you are not very dis
Greet, Butler will get them, sure
/ Change of Table CMlery.-We
learn that the proprietors of the
American House, Sherwood, House
Kentucky House, and other hotels
have buried their silver table ware
and are now using iron spoons
knives and forks. Cause-Butlel
is comingl Sensible men!
/ Hide yo,w Spoons.--The an
nouncement that ''Picayune But
Ter is coming to town" made ii
the Courier from rumor in circu
lation in the city day before yes
terday,4 has occasioned great un
easiness among housekeepers -
The people generally yesterday
were employed in burying theil
valuables. We hope they will bs
successful in getting them out of
his reach.

The Latest Phase OF Rad
icaliSm.

Radicalism in the North as
sumes all sorts Of phases, from
Fourierism and free love down to
negro equality, civil, political and
social. The doctrine of woman's
rights, too, has not been neglected,
but has found it's fullest devel-
opment under the fostering care
of Greeley and Theodore Tilton.
The matter has now gone so far
that we find a member of the gen.
tie sex actually announcing her.
self a candidate for Congress. A
New York dispatch of the 18th
inst, says:
"Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
announces to the electors of the
Eighth District in this city, that
she is an independent candidate
Tor Congress, desiring an election
AS rebuke to the dominant party
for its retrogressive Legislation i'll

The Election.

Next Thursday, November lst,
an election is to be held for Joint
Representative from Lincoln, Giles,
end Marshall counties. The men,
Der chosen ought to be a firm, un-
wavering friend of President John
sons wise and patriotic course
This qualification we have in a
satisfactory manner in Joel a. Har-
sis, Esq, of this county, the Con-
sentative candidate. Besides, be
is an honorable, upright man,
bearing an unexceptionable char.
acter in all the relations of life
His political record will bear the
scrutiny even Of the Tennessee
Legislature, for his Unionism du.
ring the war is matter of history.
He is candidate whom the most
fastidious of all parties may &C
cept for his probity, his ability,
his independence, and his incor-
ruptibility. Every Conservative
every advocate of peace and or.
der-every friend of President
Johnson, ought to vote for him.

Out with every Vote.

A correspondent of the Press
and Times, writing from Fayette-
vile last month, said a majority
of the registered voters in this
county were Radicals. Of course,
we do not believe the statement;
yet if we would ensure success,
zoe mast poll eoery Conservative
cote. This is no time for sluggards,
if we would administer a rebuke
to Brownlow's crew, by endorsing
President Johnson's conciliatory
and ststesmanlike policy. Out
with every vote, and Esq. Ha'ris's
election is certain.

Negro InsurrectiOn.

MEMPHIS, Oct. S.-A serious dis
turbance occurred at Cat Island,
twenty-five miles below here, on
Saturday. About fifty negroes
armed themselves and started out,
some say with a determination to
slaughter all the whites. They
first encountered Henry and Ike
Turner, and commenced firing up
on them. Thy returned the fire
with revolvers, killing Bill Dixon,
the leader, and another, and
wounding three others. Henry
Turner was slightly wounded in the
head. The whites in the neigh
borhood then armed and went in
pursuit, but after the death of their
leader the negroes scattered
through the country. Parties are
now here in search of some Of the
ring-leaders.

throughout all generations"
