MuRrnErsBOno.-The Monisor says.

MURFREEsBoRo.--The Monitor says:
Hamp. Welsh, gingef-cake colored
| descendant of Ham, and a white woman
whose name was originally Sarah Wilson,
but latterly Mrs. Sarah Jane Kinds, were
regularly married in this city on last We'd
nesday morning, by Brax. james, colored.
We are glad to learn that Brax. james
who officiated in the miscegenation marriage
as clergymen has been arrested and will be
| held for trial. The clerk in issuing marriage
license cannot know all persons applying for
them, and had not the least idea that the
niger when getting his license is to marry
| any other than one Of the same, and so
universal has been this rule, that he never
deems il necessary to ask the parties whether
| they are miscegenating or not and no blame
| can be attached to him in the affair.
But the clergyman who solemnizes the
rites, and sees both parties, should alone be
held accountable for any violation of the
law by the parties marrying, and we hope
| that the xtreme penalty of the law in such
cases, may be dealt out to him, and that
while serving as a lesson to him for his
gross violation of the law, it may be a warn
ing to others.
Since writing the above, we learn that
Sam. Hopkins, colored, one of the misce-
genators, and his wife, Jane Hutchins, alias
Leach, white, nave both been arrested and
will also be brought to Jail.
Wharf.-The Monitor saws that tn
wheat of that county, Rutherford, has not
yet been seriously hurt.
ScHooLs.-The Monitor represents the
schools of Murfreesboro in fourishing
condition, especially the SouLE FEMALE
COLLEGE, which promises to more than rival
Its former prosperity.
GALLATIN.-The Examiner says
We are glad to note the slow, but general
| improvement about our town. Several new
| buildings are being put up, while there is a
| pretty general overhauling and re-painting
| of old houses. A greater portion of the
| fencing had been destroyed during the war,
and in this respect, there has been much
! improvement. We hope, in another year,
| to report that our town has been restored to
its ancient tidy and handsome appearance.
We learn from the officers of the Live
Stock Insurance Company that they are ra-
| pidly establishing their agencies throughout
| Tennessee and that much Interest is taken in
| the institution wherever it has been brought
to the attention of owners of stock. The
general travelling agency is in charge of
Maj. James Glover of this place. He is
now in West Tennessee opening ofices.-Ib.
An accommodation train will be put on
| in few days between Gallatin and Nash
vile. 1t will leave Gallatin at o'clock, A.
NJ, and return at 400 P. NJ, leaving Nash
| vile at 2:40P.
We print to-day the new schedule of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad.-B.
The Circuit Court closed last week and
| was followed by session of the Chancery
Court, both being held by Chancellor Barry.
10.
We inadvertently omitted to notice the
recent death Of one of our Oldest and best
citizens, Mr.. Jas. House. ST., of this vicinity.
| He retired to bed in good health, arose, feel
ing unwell, and died in a few minutes He
was about 70 years old. Last week Willie
| J. Douglass died. He was a respected citi-
zen of this county and public spirited. Thus
our county is losing, one by one, her old
and valued citizens.-Ib.
CLARKsvILLE.-The Chronicle speaks o
the lectures being delivered in that city, by
DIR. Daniel F. Wright, the proceeds of which
are to be applied to the founding of an Or
phan Asylum-as "full of point eloquence
and learning, and clothed in style as SPLEEN
did and elegant as the subject was grand and
classical"
