Novel Causes for Divorce.

It is said that in Indiana " cold feet " are
regarded as good cause for divorce. Ii
the petition of dissatisfied wife for di-
vorce, III one OF the St. Louis courts, is al
lowed, we shall believe the Indiana story.
This distressed complainant reports that
the first chill her affections received was on
the wedding tour, when she caught cold
and was not allowed to have fire at the
hotel. on account of the expense Her next
shock was from tough beefsteak seasoned
bands refusal to furnish her with O. feather
bed. A killing blow was his unkindness to
her sister, but the unkindest cut" of all
was his reticence at the dinner table he
did not help her to the mutton chops
failed to pass the potatoes neglected to
furnish her plate with vegetables, and left
her to help herself. These insuferable in
digesties pryed upon her health and wrecked
her peace OF mind, and she now appeals to
the courts for redress.

Serious Troubles Brewing i'm Tennessee
The BrOwnlow Reign OF Terror.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Among the mat
tiers that Gen. Thomas was called here to
advise upon, is the condition of affairs il
Tennessee. 1t appears that some weeks
ago Governor Brownlow inquired of Gen.
Thomas whether the State authorities could
rely upon him General Thomas) for pro-
lection in case of difficulty during the com
ing political contest, and whether there
would be q sufficient number OF federal
troops under his command to quell dlstur.
Dances, etc. Gen. Thomas replied that the
federal troops could be relied upon for
that purpose, that the requisite force would
be on hand, &c.
In the meantime, however, Governor
Brownlow has proceeded to call into active
service a State military force. Petitions
have been sent to the government here ask
ing for federal protection from the alleged
threatening of tyranny and usurpatlon OF
the State government
The petitioners say, already the threats
of Gov. Brownlow have filed with terror
and alarm the people and law abiding Cit
zens. No freedom of opinion is to be toll
Grated but at risk of life and limb. They
say the consistent and unfaltering Union
men desire that Gen. Grant shall send Il
sufficient federal force to protect the PEG
pie from the threatened assaults.
Upon consideration of those petitions
the administration determined to send for
Gen. Thomas and consult with him as to
the actual condition of affairs in Tennes-
see. The matter was considered in cabinet
and it was determined to have in readiness
such forces as might be necessary. Gen.
Thomas to have full power to act in the
premises as in his judgment may seem best
for the public peace and welfare of the cit
izens of Tennessee.

to suppose that though honest then, that
modern RICHARD, having kingdom to dis
pose of, has proposed to "swap horses,
and from the thigh mountain to which
these gentlemen have been led, the tempta-
ton has proven too great, and they have
concluded to take the contract and supply
the Congressional stables with all the hor-
ses they may think necessary to conduct
successfully their approaching campaign.
The titles, however, to these promised
kingdoms may be as valueless as that offer
ed by the English monarch-a battle is to
be fought and victory won before the
property passes under the contract, and a
RICHMOND may yet wrest the coveted prizes
from their grasp.
Such are a few Of the Loyal Reminiscent
ces which occur to us in view of the an
nouncement of the Attorney General that
the duty of allegiance was more distinctly
violated by members of Secession Conven-
tons than in any other official Legislative
position. There are others which may be
referred to hereafter. Indeed, the angler
in the political waters of North Carolina,
oven with short line, will draw up many
queer fish"
Party Observation-Disclosures Obstruc-
ton.
We have frequently referred to the fact
that the Radicals were making desperate
attempt to continue their control of the
Government at the expense of reconstruc-
ton and the prosperity Of the South, and
by consequence, of the entire Union. We
have recently seen a striking illustration
ofthis fact NotIong since well-known com
mercial gentleman of the city of New York
went to England as the agent of leading
planters in Mississippi to negotiate loans
upon the pledge of their lands, and he
met with the most hattering success. A
million pounds sterling were promised to
enable the planters to make this year S
CROP But recent events have induced those
who were ready to advance the money to
withdraw their promise. The agent writes
that the talk of calling out the militia in
TENNESSEE, and of establishing military
"despotism in the South, has paralyzed
" everything Capitalists will not place
"their money under martial law, however
"great the seeming inducements.
Thus it has been and will continue. The
legislation which has characterized the at
tempts of Congress to continue the success
of the dominant party is not only grossly
unjust and illegal, but the most expensive
''iob " yet undertaken. The South, which
previous to the war paid much more than
half of the national expenses, manufactur
ing none of the articles produced or con
sumed by her citizens, is left to the desc
lation and poverty entailed by the war,
while the North begins to feel the loss of
the d" shoddy" contracts for the army and
navy, by which SO many of her citizens
waxed fat. Our people are asked to unite
themselves with party, which merely to
secure success keeps them impoverished
and prevents the aid which foreigners de-
sire to extend. And the poor blacks are
deceived into the belief that those who thus
deny to them the opportunity of profitable
labor, are really their best Misunderstanding
employment, they receive politics asking
bread, they receive stone.

The Gorilla,

AS many persons have expressed doubt
as to the existence of this strange animal,
as described by NJ. Chaillu, it may be OF
interest to state that there now lives OH the
plantation of the Hon. Charles Macbeth,
in st. Johns Berkeley, venerable man, a
native of Africa, who was an adult and the
joyous husband of three wives previous to
his removal to this country. His recollec-
tons of his native land are very distinct,
and among other things he describes the
Gorilla very correctly, and in perfect &C
cord with Ii. Chaillu's account-so that if
the latter gentleman should lose his speci-
mems of the genus, and still encounter non-
believers in his reports of the same, he
need not despair, for he can find q compe-
tent and credible witness in this part of the
Second Military District.

THE CRoPs.-Under the influence of the
successive showers, which visited us the
first of the week, the crops, generally speak
ing, begin to look quite promising, and our
planters, although laboring under many
difficulties, such as deficiency of force, want
of means, &C., are inspired to renewed ex-
ertions, and evidently feel cheered by the
pro pect ahead.
We are pleased to observe these indica-

planters moving in the sphere which they
once occupied in the commercial world,
and free from the embarrassments which
now press SO heavily upon them.

The LATE FREsHET. Pee Dee River has
again been visited by heavy freshet, the
water spreading over the low grounds for
many miles around. The crops near the
river were injured to some extent, but we
learn that the injury sustained is not so
materially important as to destroy it entire
~. The river is now below high water
mark, and is still falling. We think that
this will be the last freshet in Pee Dee Ri
yer for this season, unless we should be
visited by an unusual amount of rain
The growth of corn and cotton on the ri
yer plantations was only temporarily para
lyzed, as it has taken fresh start, and bids
fair to make good crops.

Napoleon LII at Waterloo.

Napoleon III at Waterloo.
A Paris letter contains the following cu.
rious paragraph
"They say that the present Emperor's
experience of Solferino would prevent his
taking personal share in any warlike ex.
petition. They still show the mill where he
stood during that memorable conflict, his
person amply protected from all danger,
but his mind delivered up to all the horror
and remorse suggested by the terrible sight
of the dead and dying at which he gazed
from the long narrow window of farmer
Langioll's red mill molina Rossa), on that
eventful day. Folks wonder to this hour
how the the peace of Villafranca came to be
signed after So.ferino. Ii had become an
indispensable measure to quiet the Empe-
rors conscience, and would not certainly
have taken place before the horrors Of war had
been thus exhibited In their all gastliness be-
fore his eyes Farmer Langioll still shows
with great pride the little pitcher from which
his majesty drank eagerly of the cool, fresh
water from the fountain, and which the
honest man never fails to declare actually
saved his Majesty from fainting, SO great
ly was he overcome by the horrible scene
enacting in the plain below.
