In A HURRY.-A curious mar
riage is reported to have occurred
some days since near Bay City,
Mich, which reads like this: It
seems that farmer lost his wife
by death, and that said wife died
early in the morning. The farmer
did not appreciate being left alone
in the world, and ere his wife's
eyes had been closed in the sleep
that knows no Weakening, he deci-
ded to marry again. Hitching up
his team, he takes in his servant
girl and goes to Bay City to buy
garments for the dead. While
there he married the girl and re-
turned to his home the same night
with his second wife, so that by
actual count he was not a wild

appeared at the funeral the next
day In deep black, and was one

Important Legal Decision

The Shelbyville Union of the
18th inst, has the following no
tice of very important decision
rendered by Chancellor Steele:
"At the present term of the
Chancery Court at this place, the
case of the State of Tennessee VS..
r. N. Wallace and his securities,
as Cashier of the Branch Bank of
Tennessee at Shelbyville, for the
year 1861, upon an amended bill,
seeking to hold them liable for
converting bills, bonds, notes and
other assets Of the Bank into Con-
federate money, came up before
Chancellor Steele, upon demurrer
as to the relief sought by the bill
against the securities of DR.. Wal
lace. The Chancellor held that
the securities were not responsible
for acts done by their principal
when engaged in the rebellion;
the acts charged in the bill to be
in aid of the rebellion. That in
dividuals, in times of rebellion
are only responsible for their own
acts, that, as to these securities,
there was no averment to the bill
that they were disloyal, or partici-
pated in the acts complained of,
and that it was the duty Of the
Government, and not of citizens,
to suppress the rebellion; and
that citizens, such as these securi-
ties, were not liable without their
participation This decision was
iacquiesced in by the able counsel
for the State, who Immediately
dismissed the amended bill against
DR.. Wallace and his securities
We understand that the securities

Negro Suffrage.

In the report of the committee
on non. constructed States, adopt
ed by the Radical Convention at
Philadelphia, the following declar-
alton appears:
We, the undersigned delegates
from the beautiful valley region of
Middle Tennessee, whose soil is
dotted over with the graves of the
martyrs of Freedom-graves that
look into our very windows-a re-
gion crowded with defenceless
black men, hundreds of whom have
borne honorable part in defence of
American nationality and liberty,
coming as delegates fiom this
region, more than a thousand miles
away, and in view of their constit-
uency, we cannot either be silent or
subscribe to a halfway expression
of opinion. The dumb eloquence
of these honored graves and the
defenceless condition of white and
black loyalists there plead in trum-
pet tones in favor Of negro stuff.
rage. We therefore desire to con-
cur in the report of the Non-re-
constructed States in this respect.
and to add our testimony to theirs
in an appeal to the Christian heart
of the country in favor of what,
in our opinion, alone will bring
true peace to the South and assist
to establish the government OF
man. S. c. MERCER,

of the enemy, and forced to retire.
This ended his list of hard
fought fields, for soon after came
the melancholy surrender OF the
armies of Virginia and Tennessee,
and like wise and prudent leader,
Lieutenant General Forrest laid
down his arms when further re-
sistance would have been madness
and folly. He disbanded, and
babe adieu, forever, to the glorious
corps which had won such immor-
tai renown under his leadership,
and retired to the shades of pri-
vate life to wear away his days in
peace.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston pro-
nounced Forrest to be the greatest
man the war produced. His mill
tary career is marvelous-a sue
cession of brilliant victories each
surprising the former one in mag
nitude and Importance. BY no
manner Of means a favorite of
commanding generals or of the
government, he extorted their ap-
plause and wrenched commission
after commission from their I'M
willing hands, until he had won
the wreath of Lieutenant-General,
which had never been bestowed
upon any other than regularly
West Point educated soldiers.
In appearance he is remarka-
bic man; a perfect model of hui
man symmetry and strength,
with an endurance that could wear
out any trooper that served under
him. His is remarkable face
in repose as placid as the waters
of Lake Leman; in the excite
ment of battle blazing with ven
geance. His dark, earnest gray
eye seems literally to scintillate
when aroused; and his. voice,
which used to ring out on the battle
fields with the clear, metallic note
of a bugle, can sink into womanly
softness and sweetness.
Forrest incapable of fear, IN
spired his command with valor,
when they lacked it, by his own
daring intrepidity on the field
He never kept aloof from danger
because Generals person ought
not to be exposed; but, like Napo-
leon, he saw that his troops did
fight. No better proof need be
given of his contempt for danger
than the fact that he had twenty
five horses shot under him during
the war, and was wounded four
times.
Forrest is born General; and
though he knows little of books,
he knows men thoroughly, and
their secret springs of action
Though he has never mingled
much in society, elegance and
grace sit enthroned upon him,
while to command men seems q
birthright. He looks and breathes
the right to command every mo-
ment of his life. Every country
district will have its wild legend
of his achievements and victories;
and if there were no historians pen
to transmit his wonderful fame to
posterity, tradition would hand it
down for hundreds of years to
come.

Pertinent Questions by

equally applicable elsewhere. At
last accounts no answer had been
made:-
Hon. r. ". Clarke
DEAR SIR-Will you be SO kind
as to give explicit answers to these
interrogatories. BY SO doing you
will confer a favor on the ''boys
in blue" of Wayne township:
l. Do you endorse the law that
exempts the bondholder from pay
ing taxes on said bonds, while
we boys have to pay the taxes, at
least our portion after serving to
put down the rebellion, while you
bondholders remained at home en-
.joying ease and comfort?
2. Are you in favor of the ne
gro exercising the rights of suf
frage with us? IF not, why did
you vote for such law in the
District of Columbia?
3. Will you be so kind as to
tell us how much money you and
the party to which you belong vo-
ted to keep and support the ne
groes in the South, and who pay
the taxes for that purpose?
4. How much money have you
voted for the benefit Of the poor
white soldiers, their widows and
orphans?
5. How much money have you
and your party voted to the ne
gro, or if any, and how much
to the white man? Please ex-
plain fully.
6. viii you be SO kind as to ex-
plain why your party voted them
selves and you, 81, 900 extra pay
for few months service each
year, and at the same time only
voted S100 to the "boys in blue"
for three years exposure, toll and
peril. and $50 for two wears ser
vice.
Z. AS you profess to be great
friend to the soldiers, will you ex-
plain why your services are SO
much more valuable than theirs,
that you must have $4,000 per
year, and they only about $500?
Would it not have been more pa
triotic in you to have the $500,
and have given the ''boys" 81, 600?
s. Are you in favor of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment?
Please explain it fully. Is it not
the intention, as far as possible, to
elevate the negro to the level Of
the white man?
9. AS you stayed at home and
your ease and made mon
ey, while Colonel Howard was bat
Ting to put down the rebellion
and your friends have voted you
"a, 000extra pay for two years SER
vice-would it not be patriotic in
you to decline in favor of Colonel
