Her Husband, etc., etc.
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 30, 1S65.-Mrs.
Clay is still here and there are no indica-
tions of her visits to her husband being
brought to speedy close. She remained
with her husband till nine o'clock last even
ing and this morning, without stopping to
take breakfast in the hotel, rejoined him
again in his prison apartment in Carroll
Hall; and it is an apartment with little Of
the rough and stern features of prison
about it-no ponderous prison bars and
damp walls, and scanty and unwholesome
food, and rude, lynx-eyed jaifor His is a
snug, cosy room, and the same description
is applicable to that occupied By JEFF. Davis,
with cheerful appointments of furniture and
CHEEKY fire in an open CRATE, and books of
varied range--historical, biographical, and
all the departments of belle icttres, poetry fic-
ton, and the fine arts. Thus far. Mrs. Clay
has taken her meals with her husband, and,
however epicurean and fastidious her tastes,
j will guarantee she has no occasion to find
fault with the prison cuisine as developed in
the meals served her husband. This restric-
ton is placed on her visits-an officer is
present all the time. Thus far, this rather
disagreeable duty of forming the third party
has devolved on Capt. Hitchcock, Provost
Marshal

OrR Louisville contemporaries, the jour

ahigh old time over the municipal arairs
OF that city. The late Mayor, TomPert, has
been deposed, and Lithgow stands an his

proceedings leading thereto, the two papers
nane.i have entered into a war, which rivals
in 6erceness and acrimony their most cele-

THE Louisville Courier gives an account
of an immense meeting of the colored ele-
ment in Louisville The fragrant assem-
blage was addressed by Generals Palmer and
Fisk, and, according to the CosEia, con-
cluded with the following incident:
The only incident worthy Of mention
which our reporter noticed was the reply Of
lively African to question asked by Gen.
Palmer. He told them that heretofore their
masters had hired them out 10 work New
Years day, and inquired what they were
going to do this New Years day. The re-
ply was, in good strong voice, THANK
God, and shout for the Union" That was
nigD all over, and is about the programme
he has made out for the coming year.

THE Memphis Commercial replies to the
remark that Northern labor and capital
was not safe away from the military posts in
the Southern States" and that "no one

that life is as safe in any portion of the South
as in the city of Boston.

DEATH OF A Coop Mantle Louisville
papers announce the death of HoN. THos.
B. MONROE, an old and distinguished citizen
of Kentucky. He died at the residence of
his son-in-law, Fl. p Scoyy, in Pass Chris
tan, Miss. He was native of Virginia, and
relation of President Monroe The Louis
vile Courier says:
In 1923 he was appointed Secretary of
State by Governor Adair, succeeding in that
Office the lamented Hon. Joseph Cabell
Breckenridge, father of General John c.
Breckenridge. This Office he filled until the
close of Governor Adair's official term.
Afterwards he was appointed Reporter of
the decisions of the Court of Appeals, post
he occupied some seven years.
In 1885 President Jackson invested the de-
ceased with the dignities of the ermine, by
comforting upon him the appointment of
Judge of the United States District Court
one of the highest and most responsible .ju-
dicial stations in the country. This office
Judge Monroe continued to fill until Sep
TENDER, 1861, when, under thorough con-
v;ction of duty, he Withdrew from the bench
and proceeded to the South. Arriving iE
Nashville he Immediately took the oath Of
allegiance, before Judge Humphreys, to the
Confederate Government He soon repaired
to Virginia rehabilitating himself in the
rights of citizenship in his native State. But
upon the urgent appeals of his friends in
Kentucky he consented to serve that State in
the Provisional Congress. He has since re-
sided in the South, the last year of the war
having been spent in South Carolina, with
several members of his family. Age, how
ever, with an unusual burden of cares and
SORROWS, had told fearfuliy upon his once
vigorous frame, Perhaps if one cause more
than another affected his health, it was the.
loss of two gifted and gallant sons at the
battle of Shiloh. Judge Monroe was in
Richmond when he received a telegram from
General Breckenridge announcing the kill
ing of his son, Mai. Thos. B. Monroe, jr, at
the head of the 4th Kentucky, on the field of
Shiloh. Persons who were witness to the
scene describe the emotions of the venerable
jurist on that mournful occasion as painful
in the extreme. He was overwhelmed with
the suddenness and immensity of his be-
reavement; and from that staggering blow
the loss of the well beloved Benjamin Of his
hock-he never quite recovered either men,
tally or physically.

NORTHERN CLERICAL Bishop
Thompson and the Rev. DIR. Newman, of
the Methodist Church, North, spent last Sum
day in Houston, Texas. They attended SER
vices at the Baptist Church in the morning,
and the Bishop preached for the cclored
people at the African Methodist Church in
the afternoon They came in quietly, on
Friday. we believe, and departed towards
New Orleans ON Monday. What was their
business we know not, and it is probably
none of ours TO inquire. We understand
that they complained, in modest way,
about not having been invited to ofieiaie for
any Of the white oongregasions.-GoI restoa

Harlan in the. Interior Department. The
time when this change will occur depends
much upon the Senatorial election in Iowa.
