RAFTING OF DRY BONES.

Mysterious Discovery I'm Edgefieid--
Human Remains Dag Up In a Citi.
Gems Yard-FrRgmenIs of the DecOm-
posed Coffin AMER n Thirty Years
Burial
A most mysterious discovery was made
in Edgefeld a few days ago, in the yard
and almost in the very door of highly
respected citizen of that place, upon which
the oldest resident can give no light, nor
those most intimately acquainted with the
earliest settlement account for. The dis
covery was maze in the yard and on the
premises formerly occupied and owned by
Mr. Nicholson Hobson, of the Bank Of
Nashville, on Union street Ii was made
in this way: The premises are at present
occupied by Mr.. r. NJ. Kinnaird, who has
been living there for some time The yard
il full of trees, and the roots Of these
spreading under the ground projected into
the cistern injuring the walls so that the
water became unfit for family use, or ESCAPED
through the assures made by the iutrudiug
roots. A short time since Mr.. Kinnaird

thus cutting the roots from the trees. While
engaged in this work the instrument sud-
denly came in contact with hard sub
stances, and dirt was thrown out unlike
any he had before seen. An e1amina-
ton was made and the removal Of the
dirt disclosed fragmentary parts Of de-
cayed coffin and the bones Of a human body
almost entire, though in a state of decay
The skull with its ghastly grin and hollow
eye-sackets was lying face upward, and the
bones, hands, arms, legs and feet were
lying in position natural to the dead. The
remains were found about two feet from
the surface OF the ground. No one knows
/ anything of the person whose decaying
| framework was thus suddenly exhumed.
Mr.. Hobson improved The place over thirty
years ago, and he says that he never heard
Of any one having been buried near the
premises.
Who the person was, how long the re-
mains had been there, by whose hands OF
in what grave habiliments they we're
draped and laid away in the damps Of
death, will forever remain mystery, till
the day of final doom, when the sea and
the land give up their dead.

THE RANK CASE.

Argument OF Gen. W. b. BAte-Mucl
Interest in tbe CEsse-ArguaenSs 10
he Concluded ON Friday.
The bank case was again in Chancery on
yesterday, Chancellor Collier presiding,
and the argument, part of which was re-
ported in our yesterdays paper, was con-
tinued by Gen. W. z. Bate. He repre-
sents the Bank of Tennessee. 1t would be
vain to attempt in so short an article to
give correct idea of the depth and power
of his argument. We can only give few
of the principal points which he made:
He first reviewed the evidence to show
that no bonds were lost while on deposit
with the Bank of Tennessee, but that all
the bonds belonging to the Exchange Bank
at Murfreesboro, ever deposited with the
| Bank of Tennessee, were Withdrawn by the
parties legally entitled to do so.
He then traced the origin of the wrong,
and the fraud by which the holders of
the Exchange Bank notes had suffered.
| He showed that the Bank Of Tennessee
was no way in fault that the Comptroller
| and the officers OF the Exchange Bank,
| under the act of 1856, controlled the
amount of its circulation and had con-
slant access TO the bonds and control over
them. He then reviewed the evidence, to
| show instances of fraudulent conduct on
the part of the Comptroller, Lutrell
and the officers of the Exchange Bank.
He construed the act of 1865, in regard to
| the Free Banks to show what the whole
| bearing Of that act was; that the bonds de.
posted in the Bank of Tennessee were to
continue in the constructive possession of
| the Comptroller, and that the Bank of
| Tennessee was to have nothing to do with
| them except hold them subject to his order.
| He farther showed by the act of 1856
| and the facts of the case, that the bonds were
on special deposit in the Bank of Tonnes
| sea mere gratuitons bailment, and that
the bank was only liable for slight dill
| gence. That such diligence had been used
| in dhis case by keeping the bonds in the
book vault which was safe and fire proof,
| and the place where special deposits were
| kept, TO prevent their being mixed with the
funds of the bank; that the owners of the
bonds knew where they were kept, and the
manner of their keeping and assented to it,
| This morning at 10 o'clock the argument
in the bank case will be resumed.
This has been very long case, and one
of unusual interest, not only for the legal
talent engaged and the ability with which
it has been conducted, but also because
| great numbers of the citizens Of this State
and adjoining States are interested in its
decision. There is now about 100000 Of
the notes of the Exchange Bank Of MUIR
freesboro in the hands of the people
Since the failure Of the bank in 1853 these
have been regarded as worthless The
result of this suit will determine whether
they are to be paid or not, and who is to
make them good. Mr.. Stubblefeld, At
torney General, Governor Brown and Mr..
Reid are yet to speak in the case, and the
argument will probably occupy to day and
/ Friday

RIVER AND WEATHER.


The Louisville Journal of Yesterday
says;
The river continues to swell rapidly at
this point During the twenty flour hours
ending yesterday evening, it had risen ten
inches at the head Of the falls, making
fully FIVE feet water in the canal by the
mark, three feet down the Indiana chute,
two feet in the middle chute, and over
eight feet on the bar between Portland and
New Albany. The weather continues
pleasant and clear in part, and the snow
has nearly all disappeared, leaving the
wharf and streets Of our city in muddy
condition.

IN MFFEORIAN

Departed this life in Pulaski, on Friday, 18th
inst, at the residence of his father, WILLIAM
MARTIN, late of the city of New 7 Ork.
After an absence Of some years, the deceased
had returned home, and was rejoicing over the
pleasant memories of former days, and in the
hallowed associations of the paternal abode,
when suddenly he fell asleep in the arms Of
death.
This dispensation of Divine Providence has
brought weight of grief to family circle of
which he was a bright ornament. The venera-
BILE father and mother mourn the loss Of an
only son a sister weeps for the departure OF a
dear brother; and a young wife bewails the loss
of devoted husband, the earthly idol of her
heart. ...
The deceased was no common man. Having
passed honorably through the course of study
prescribed by the first colleges of the country,
the academic grove was changed for the private
study room; and being provided with rare
works IN every department of literature, science
and art, he gave himself up TO their diiigent and
critical study. He became master of whatever
he read. and with the Astounding resources Of
his memory, was peculiarly fitted to instruct
and enjoy cultivated society He was chaste in
his language, fluent in speech, courteous in his
manners, making him an agreeable companion,
and his society and friendship desirable
Nor did he eonfne himself to the study Of the
beauties of literature and art, bat cOmmuned
with the great minds that ad0rn the world, in
the higher walks Of mental philosophy and the
illogical science. BY such studies and commun-
ings his mind became more and more expanded
ceptions of the grand themes became more clear,
his heart embraced the sublime truths involved
in them. Although not o professed member OF
any Christian Church, yet the sweet incense OF
prayer and praise, morning and evening from
the closet, altar or private chamber, assembled
TO Heaven.
Alas he is gone. His manly form lies en-
shrined in the marble tomb, but the spirit that
animated it has fed to Him who gave it, Earth's
trials and sorrows have been exchanged for
scenes of celestial repose and beauty, and ever
lasting blessedness.
Let, then, the afflicted ones bow in holy resig-
nation and submission TO the will of the Al
mighty, and believe that whom the Lord
loyeth He chasteneth;" and that through faith
in Him who is the resurrection and the life, .
and the patience of hope" they may again
meet him whom they so dearly loved" meet to
part no more"
And may Gods grace prove sufficient for them
in their day of trouble, and their present deep
affection work out for them far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory"
The writer of these lines knew William MAJ tin
we'll. His heart is keenly and deeply touch ed
by his death. and now drops a tear sacred to his
memory. ANXIOUS.

THE ELOPER LODGED JAIL
Levi Hines brought from Louisville
He - Lodged in Jail-The RedOubf
able Hattie Left behind.

HShN avn
Officer Larry Ryan, of orr Detective
Police force, arrived here on the five O'Clock
train on yesterday evening, bringing with
him Levi Hines, the man who so heart,
lessly deserted his wife and child in this
city and eloped with the courtezan Hattie
Ford. and whose arrest in Louisville we
mentioned on yesterday. Hines was ar
rested in Louisville shortly after he reached
the city, and was kept in custody till the
arrival Of officer Ryan. Detective Cheatham
met him al the depot with a miHimus, I'M
der which he was locked up in the county
Jail. Hines ia rather diminutive speci-
men of the genus homo, his outside make
up being as badly dwaried as his inside ar
engagements are narrow, contracted and hol
low. He will be brought out from Jail
this morning and have a hearing before
Justice Mathews The redoubtabIe Hattie
Ford was left behind. The echo of her
foot fall will probably be heard no more in
the iungles, nor the familiar sound Of her
hammer in the wsrkhouse. The wife of
Hines, with her unprotected babe, was yes
terday endeavoring TO find situation as
a wet nurse in some respectable family.
