;. PADDY BuR.ss, THE TRAs1PrNa
Typo" The Marshall fTexas) Re
,,,4hliacnA. of the 23d. las the following
notice of well-known character.
Everybody has heard of the re-
nowned old typo, Paddy Burns, a
veteran relic of a. past age of those
who have figured in the cart preserv-
ative of, all arts" For perhaps forty
years, he has "'tramped, as the
phrase exists among printers, and has
visited every printing office in the
South, and many in the West. At
the breaking ont of the war, he Joined
the Confederate army, where he re-
NAMED for nearly four years. He is
at present over sixty years of age,
but seems more vigorous and active
than many men OF forty. Five or
SIX weeks ago, he passed through
Marshall. A few tlavs since, he re-
turned. In the meantime, he had
visited Henderson, Huntsville, Aus
tin, Tyler, aud how many other places
we do not know. He travels entirely
on foot, disdaining the use of horses,
buggies or stage coaches, which he
considers too slow for rapid locomo-
ton. He left this place for Jefferson.
Thence he will go, perhaps, to
Shreveport, pay a flying visit to Ar
kansas. Missouri and perhaps Ten
nessec, and finally wend his way back
to the ''Lone Star State" Among
our earliest recollections of Texas, we
heard Of paddy Burns He was
then in the meridian of life. An old
gentleman with whom he had tempo
rarily stopped spoke of him as a
s'Pooty smart man, but a great taIker;
his tongue was agwine and agwiner'
Yes, arms, legs and brain have been
employed by him for forty years.
What a life he has passed; what
scenes he had witnessed; how much
of information has he acquired? And
now, when he has reached the "sere
and yellow leaf Of existence, he is
almost a boy in action and feeling.
We feel kindlyto ''tramping' prin-
tcrs. They are usually men Of intel
hgence and generous impulses, and
almost invariably good printers.
Wherever they so, i'll their perigrina-
tons, they make an impression by
improving the typographical appear
ance OF newspapers.

AN OCEAN STEAMER RAcE-An ex-
citing contest between two large
ocean steamships, from Southampton
to New York, is to come off this
month. The London Ners thus
speaks of it:
n greatocean steamship race will, it
Is expected, come of next month. As
our readers are probably aware, there
are two large rival foreign steamship
companies, the North German Floyds,
running between Bremen and New
York, via Southampton, and the
Hamburg and American, running
between Hamburg and New York, vim
Southampton. Their steamers are
built in this country, but manned by
Germans. They carry hundreds Of
well-to-do Germans to America every
week, and their ships are so large,
swift and commodious, that they have
become favorites with English and
American passengers. In conse-
quence of the rivalry existing be-
tween the companies, and the dis
putes as to the respective merits Of
the two fleets, it has been resolved to
test the speed of two of their finest
ships-the Hamburg company's Allie
mania and the Bremen company's s
Hermann. Both of the Sc are new
and monster steamers, of enormous
strength, and they make the Atlantic
passage in about nine or ten days.
They will start from Southampton
fox New York together.
Both ships have been backed to
heavy amounts already, and the race
will be an exciting and remarkable
one
The Allcmania and Hermann are
both gorgeously fitted up.

:. IMPORTANT DEo1s,os IN KENTuokY.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN kENTuCky.
1t is not generally known that d deci-
son has ,Sessa rendered by the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals, which vir-
tually prevents either o Confederate
Or Union soldier from being prose-
cuted for acts committed under orders
OF superior officers; but such is the
case. The following decision was
! rendered in the case of the Common
wealth VS.. Holland, from Christian
County. The facts are simply these:
Holland was indicted by the grand
jury of Christian County for stealing
some horses, which act lre committed
under the orders of his superior
officer, Gen. S. B. Buckner, of the
rebel army, and upon being brought
to trial, was discharged by Judge
Graham, Circuit Judge of Christian
County, on the ground that he could
not be punished for an act committed
under the orders Of his superiors,
from which opinion the Common
wealth appealed.
Attorney General Harlan repre-
sented the Commonwealth, and Col.
r. 81. Bristow represented the pri-
soner (Holland. Judge Robertson
delivered the opinion of the court.
"The only judicial question pre-
scnted by this appeal from a judg-
ment of the Circuit Court, discb e
ing the accused on q verdict Of
acquittal on an Indictment for rob-
berry, is whether, in County of Ken
tucky, occupied and controlled by a
Confederate army, under command
OF General Buckner, the forcible cap
ture of non-combatant citizen 8
horses, IN conformity with military
authority, and in execution of mill
tary order, was criminal offence,
cognizable by the civil power of this
State, and, on this question our
opinion is, that the act, being bellige-
rent in the legal import of that com
prehensivc term, it was not robbery
III the technical sense Argument to
prove this would be saperfiuous,
wherefore tn. Judgment is affirmed. -

MIR. SEWARD BREAKS WITH FoRNrY.
In terms of righteous indignation the
Chronicle of yesterday announces that
Mr.. Seward has notified Forney to
discontinue ''the Chronicle furnished
for legations 81 But why, >" says the
excellent Forney, 'why should we
murmur or be surprised when the
President denounces accepted patriots
as guilty traitors, and hi Secretary
of State hastens to telegraph his
grateful admiration of the act?" And
it gladdens us by declaring that "no
admonitions will suffice to change the
calamitous course upon which it is
now apparent Andrew johnson en-
barked under the sinister patronage

TIE TOILET OF LADY WHO LOVES
THE SOUTH. Max Maretzelx's

TIE TOILET OF A LADY WHO LOVES
THE SoUTH.-At Max Maretzek's s
grand ball, recently given in New
York, was present Il lady, from Balti-
more, whose labors in behalf of the
Southern people have made her a he
roine. And to compliment SO lovely
a sbeing-for beautiful Baltimore
lady, who sympathizes with ns of the
South, Is the most interesting crea-
tnre in the world-we reproduce, from
a Republican paper, the following ac-
count of her and her costume at the
bal d'opera:
&c More in keeping with the occa-
aion, but not less chaste, was the
toilette of a well-known lady of Bal
timore, who, for the last month, has
worked harder than any down -trod-
den Cuffee ever dreamed of, in be-
hall of the Southern Relief Fair, and
who, we are told, "cried her eyes
red, because her young husband
would take her away from her work
and make her expend SO much on q
costume, when the cry for common
clothes and common food comes up
from the desolated hearth h-stones Of
her fair Southern homeland. Sim
pie, yet extremely elegant, was her
toilet, princess robe of white vel
vet, the corsage was low and round,
but over it was a tiny berthe of point
applique, lined with pink satin; this
berthe was cut square, or what is
known as the Pompadour style, which
is the most fashionable cut for
the necks of dresses, whether
low, or haf-low, or three-quarters.
Covering each of the seams were
barbes of ponies applique laid over
bands of pink SATIN. While kid
slippers, trimmed on the toes with
real roses, which emitted perfume at
every step, and even when the little
twinkling feet were still. White kid
gloves with bracelets of rose-coral,
the most delicate and exquisite gem
of the lapidaries' art that were pre-
sent on the occasion; ear rings en-
suite, coifure of Metternich curls
and natural magnolias, completed
this most artistic and exquisite toi-
lette. On complmenting the lady on
her success, she replied proudly, fMy
husband gave me check for 81 900,
with special directions and supplica-
tions that I should get myself up
worthy of myself and worthy of the
occasion, and he assures me I have
done 80, though I bought nothing
new but my gloves and my slippers,
and the magnolias in my hair Let
not men talk of the extravagance of
women after this. That it was an ex-
ceptional case, counts nothing.

THE METHODIST CHURCH, NORTH.
The Methodist Conference EAST
closed its labors this afternoon. In
the earlier part of the day, the Com
mittee Oh Relations with the Church,
South, submitted q report, stating, in
substance, that the answer which
had been received from the New Or
leans Conference to the overtures for
concert Of prayer, for unity of heart
in our nation, and for the general
harmony Of Methodism, was not salts
factory. Nevertheless, the Commit
tee would recommend that the clergy
and laity here should pray without
ceasing for the spiritual prosperity of
the Southern brethren, ETC., etc.
This report gave rise to an animated
discussion. 1t was finally tabled, the
prevailing sentiment seeming to be
that its spirit was cruel and arrogant
towards the Southern church.
