The Columbia Gazette, of TAugsday, has
the following:
CoSFEDERArE DEAD.-Tbe Trustees Of
Rose Hill Cemetery have been engaged for
some time in gathering up the dead Of the
Confederate army who lie scattered all over
our land re-interring them in the beauti-
full grounds Of Rose Hill Cemetery, and
marking the grave Of each with neat tomb
stones, upon which, as far as practicable, is
engraved the name, rank, etc. They have
set apart a suitable portion Of the Cemetery
for this noble purpose; and have buried
therein one hundred and nine at their own
expense. They inform us that all within
their own knowledge, have been thus buried,
and there is yet room for more. They earn
estly request everybody within whose knOwl-
edge there sleeps one Of the gallant spirits
Of the Confederate army, in anunknOwn and
uncared for land, 10 take them up and bring
them to the grounds set apart for the last
resting place Of those whose memories will
ever be cherished by the grateful hearts Of
the South.
- FEDERAL DEAD.-Lt. j. DORGHERTY
who has charge Of the re-interment Of the
Federal dead Of this place and Franklin, in
forms us that four hundred and forty flour
have been brought from Franklin and in
tered up TO Monday last. There are about
two hundred and twenty to be re-interred in
Rose Hill Cemetery in this place. Their
ground is in the southeastern portion of the
cemetery and presents a neat appearance,
since cleaned up. 1t is rumored that all
their dead at Pulaski are to be brought here,
as also, those Of Spring Hill. A monument
is to be erected in the centre of their lot in
commemoration.
The Pulaski Citizen of yesterday says:
Chancery Court, Hon. DAVID CAMPBELL
presiding, is now in session. Maj NOAH
has not made his appearance to claim the
| seat but on the other hand, has seen proper
TO violate his obligation as judicial officer,
by leaving the State Just at the time one Of
| his courts is in session, to attend a negro
Radical convention to concoct villainy, plot
treason, and devise schemes TO humiliate
Cypress and degrade Southern people. We
hope FRED DOUGLASS and the other negro
delegates TO this Radical convention, may
take such liking 10 the little Jewel that
he may be induced TO stay with them.
- Four citizens of this county, named
| GEO. Wells, JAMES RUSSELL, GEO. KEEF
and JOHN SULLIVAN, were arrested by q
squad of u. S. cavalry on Saturday and Sun,
| day last, and are now in the penitentiary al
| Nashville, charged with having murdered q
negro about the list of July last. It il
| claimed that the arrest was made under
| General CRAFTS recent order, when, il
fact people in this benighted region, havt
been indulging the belief that the P,esi
| dents recent proclamation abrogated tina
order. A writ of kabeas corpus will test the
matter we suppose, which, we hope, will b.
applied for Immediately.
