| ~. Ryan, Radical, VIII
was killed in personal renconte
at Triune, Williamson county,
few weeks ago, wrote the follow
ing to three Radical members of
Congress:
"The rebels grow worse and
worse every day. In Marshall
county in this State, the Union
men are not permitted to wear the
blue clothes which the soldiers
wore. The rebels curse the Yam
KEGS and say that no Yankee cos
tunes shall be worn in that region.
IL do not ask you to rely upon
my unsupported word in regard to
this matter, but if you will take
the trouble to write to any loyal
man in Marshall county, he will
fully corroborate what | have sta
ted. In Triune we live in Pam
demonium, encompassed by devils.
In short if things do not change,
and that speedily, the loyal por-.
ton of the population will have
to abandon the country. The re-.
bells murder Union men and rob
them of their property, and the
civil authorities do not pretend TIC
take cognizance of it. Two weeks
ago MIR. Robert Sanford, an aged
gentleman, had his house entered
and robbed by five rebels, of two
thousand dollars. These men are
now residing in the neighborllood,
but it would be as much as Mr..
Sanford's life is worth to attempt
a prosecution. The state of af-
fairs here is terrible. Loyal men,
both white and black, are perse-
cuted in every conceivable shape,
and if they don't get assistance
from the army, they will all even
tually be murdered, and the re-
bel perpetrators of the deed go
'unwhipt of justice. >" |
The next day after penning
the above, he met the fate of An
nanias and Sapphira. vengeance
is mine, l will repay, saith the
Lord"

BES The Masquerade Party,
on last Wednesday night, for the
benefit of Confederate orphans and
widows, was a complete success.
The rooms were crowded. Some
of the costumes were gotten up
in tasty style, while others were
SO oddly fancifuI as to cause much
merriment. The company dis
persed about midnight, apparently
well pleased with the entertain
ment. The receipts of the even
ing amounted to 1924, which will
pay the debts of the Society, and
leave, perhaps. small sum.

wards the male sex in general,
and the chosen object of their po-
etic and pictorial solicitude in par
ticnlar. Thus, St. Valentine is
made to do duty in the double ca
pacity of inditer of libels and pa
tren of lovers.
The origin of st. Valentines
Day and the peculiar rites observed
on it are obscure. The encyclo-
pedias ignore the saint entirely,
and the antiquaries are at great
odds about him. He is said by some
to have suffered martyrdom at
Rome during the reign of Claudius
III. AS Claudius, however, died at
Stratum, A. D. 269, shortly after
defeating the Goths in pitched
battle, and the date Of St. Valen-
tines martyrdom is fixed A. D.
I'll, the account seems a slight
anachWnism. st. Valentine, from
the better accounts, appears to
have been one of the victims of
the ninth christian persecution un-
der Aurelian. The same year
that Valentine was martyred, Au-
relian defeated Zenobia at the bat
tie of Odessa, and destroyed Pal
myra, the 'T'admor in the desert"
of scripture. st. Valentine is
said, in the legend, to have been
a man not only devout and holy, |
but also of a disposition the tender
est and most gentle. 1t is also al
legged that he suffered on the 14th
of February. On that day, too,
the birds are said to choose their
mates for the ensuing year.
Whether the young folks practice
Of choosing their valentines" Oh
the same day be in honor Of the
birds or the bishop, is a matter too
profound to be now decided. We
respectfully refer it to Brownlow's
Legislature tor discussion.
There is pretty legend of the
saints martyrdom which will be
more interesting. 1t is related,
that whilst Valentine was in the
agonies OF martyrdeath, two
loves lowered restlessly and sadly
above the place. They evinced
The greatest sorrow for his suffer-
lngs; and when he sunk, at last,
under the severity of his tortures,
they lit upon his breast, touched
lis lips with their little bills, then
scared into the clouds, as it were
kissing away his pure and gentle
spirit, and bearing it to heaven.
This legend gaining currency
the early christians, the an
liversary of the saints death was
ever afterwards dedicated to ten
Ter and gentle thoughts, and es-
tablisbed as a feast of love-
Hence the modern observation of |
he day as one of innocen. badin-
rge, and often tenderer professions
between the sexes.
