A French Heroine.

The inhabitants of Beauvais, the chief town of
the Department of the Oise, France, have just
celebrated the anniversary of their heroine,
Jeanne Hachette, popularity known as the "Fete
OF the Assault" BeauVais was besieged in l472,
when Charles the Bold of Burgundy was at war
with Louis XI. The besieged were exhausted,
and on the point of giving way, when the women
of Beauvais, armed with pixies, slaves tipped
with iron, and such other weapons as they could
lay hands on, mounted the ramparts under the
guidance of an intrepid young woman named
Jeanne Lame, better known as "Hachette, ~
from the weapon which she used. Jeanne
caught the Burgundian standard, which the
enemy were about to plant on the wall, struck
down with her hatChet the officer who held it,
and hurled him into the ditch below.
The example OF the courageous girl inspired
her townsmen with fresh courage, and the re-
suit was that the troops of Burgundy were re.
pulsed with great slaughter, and the siege had
to be raised. In eommemoration of the con
duct of Jeanne and her intrepid companions
| Louis XI ordered that in the tete TO be cele-
| brated every year in Beauvais the women should
| take precedence of the men. The King also
ordered that, "by reason of her great valor and
| courage" she should be married to one Collin
| P1llon; and by an edict, dated February, l479
| that the said Collin Pillon and his wife Jeanne
| should be exempt from the payment of i'm
| posts of every kind levied throughout his king
dom, in whatsoever part OF it they happened tC
/ reside,

How a Young Man Ruined Himself.


man is now confined in the Marion (Ill.)
County Jail who ought to be in better business.
His name Is Albert Wells. Three months since
he was agent for the Adams Express Company
at Sandoval. In an evil hour, and being ad-
dlcted to loose company, he was tempted to en-
bezzle $500 express money, and fed. He has
an excellent and intelligent wife living in Wor-
cester, Mass. To her he fled, was arrested on a
requisition from Governor Oglesby, brought
back to Salem, and imprisoned to await trial
This unhappy young man, now about thirty
three years of age, is genius. His education
is superb; he is an excellent scholar; can con-
verse 1uently in German, French, and italian;
is tolerably conversant with Latin and Greek, an
admirable penman, and an uncommonly unique
telegrapher.
he can receive and tran smit by sound mes
sages by telegraph at the same moment. He
can write at the same time on two sheets of
paper with his right and lett hand in beautiful
style of chiroRraphy. Being of very courteous
and pIepossessing manners, it is said he worked
upon the feelings of one of the female attaches
of the prison, and was let out of Jail and
escaped. Once out, his genius was at fault.
Not being familiar with the country, he took
the line OF railroad for escape. Had he struck
off south he would not have been subject to be
pursued by telegraph or overtaken by railroad.
At Flora he was rearrested, brought back, and
is now now again in jail at Salem, to be tried
for felony. What a lesson does this instance
exhibit to our young men, and to all men, of the
danger of yielding to temptation and forgetting
the virtuous instructions of youthi

ROMANCE IN REAL LEE.
A Youthful Couple In TrOubIe-A Girl
of sixteen q wife for the Second Time.

A Youthful Couple In TrOuble-A Girl
of Sixteen q Wife for the Second Time.
Quite romantic affair was brought to light
at Jefferson Market Police Court this morning.
Two young persons, named Henry Hartung,
aged seventeen, and Margaretta Rahal, aged
sixteen, were married one week ago, and have
been keeping house together at the lower end OF
Canal street. About four months since the
young man formed the acquaintance of the girl,
eliminating in matrimony, at which the bride
groom's parent became greatly incensed, and
had the couple arrested by Sergeant Ferris. The
bride says Henry loves her, and she loves
Henry and declares her intention to remain
his wife, unless prevented from so doing by
the law.
She also says the minister who married them
has been arrested. Henry is a spare, thin
looking boy, and at casual glance would not
be taken for more than fifteen years old. His
bride is fat, plump, good looking, and only sweet
sixteen. She further states that she was married
some ethree years since, bat only lived with
her husband some two months when he went to
the war; His name was William Burnett, and
he made plenty of money by Jumping the
bounty. The tiny pair lived in ease and COM
fort In the Fifth Ward, until one unlucky
moment the husband was detected, arrested,
and sentenced to be shot. His youthful bride
did not then desert him, but visited him in ''his
prison cell,n at the same time pleading and
begging for his release-m vain, however, as
this sentence was carried out, leaving the fair
Hargaretta widow, at the tender age of thir-
teen. 1t seems, however, that she was not
destined to remain in her weeds long, as she
met saw. and conquered the affection of her
present liege lord. Henry says he is cheerful,
and hopeful that all will yet be well, and that
they will be permitted to go on their way re.
joiciug. He is employed in the California Ex-
press Company at salary of Sl5 per week,
besides extras. What disposition will be made
IN the case we are unable yet to state. The
bride and groom are now passing their honey
moon in the box of the Second District Court

FINANCIAL.
THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.
THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT


The rapid progress OF the Union Pacific Railroad,
building west frc m Omaha, Nebraska, and form
ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken line
across the continent attracts attention to the value
ofthe First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer to the public The first question asked by prudent
investors Is "Are these bonds secure9' Next, Are
they profitable investment7" To reply In briei-
First The early completion of the whole great line
TO the Pacific certain any future business event
can be. The Government grant Of over twenty mil
lion ofland and y million dollars IN It's own
bonds practically guarantees It, one-fourth OF the
work s already DONE and the track continues TO be
laid at the rate OF two miles a day.
Second The Union Pacific Railroad bonds issued
upon what promises TO be one OF the most prontable
lines Of railroad In the country. For many years 1t
must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cihc; and being without competition IL can maintain
rsmunerative rates.
Third. s76 miles of this road finished and fully
equipped with depots, locomotives cars etc. and
trains are daily running each way. The materials for
the remaining ll miles to the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains are on hand and it is under con-
tract to be done in September.
Fourth. The net earnings of the sections already
finished are several times greater than the gold iu-
terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such Sec
tons and If not another mile OF the road were built
the part already completed would not only pay inte
rest and expenses, but be profitable the Company
Filth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be Is
sued only as the road progresses and therefore
never be In the market unless they represent bona
Fde property.
Sixth. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a
sum equal TO what is granted by the Uuited states
Government and for which 1t takes second lien as
Its security. This upon the first 5l7 miles
west from Omaha is only $1,000 per mile.
Seventh The fact that the United states Govern
ment considers second lien upon the road good In
vestment, and that some OF the shrewdest railroad
builders Of the country have already paid In five mil
lion dollars upon the stock (Which is to them third
llen) may well inspire confidence first lien.
Eighth. Although 1t Is not claimed that there can be
any better securities than Governments there are
parties who consider first mortgage upon such a
property this the very best security in the world
and who sell their Governem,s !" relnvest Ia these
bonds, thus securing greater interest.
Ninth. As the Union Pacific lIturosd 0Ouus are
offered for the present at 80 cents dollar aud
accrued Interest, they the cheapest secarity in
the market being 10 per cent than United states
| stocks
Tenth. AT the current rate OF premium on gold

The Rebel ORer to Surrender Federal
Prisoners.

RICHMOND, July 10, 1867.-Hon. Charles A.
BldIidge:-I have seen your remarks as pub
hshed. They are substantially correct. Every
word that said to you in Richmond is not only
true, but can be proved by Federal officers. ]
did offer in August to deliver the Federal sick
and wounded without requiring equivalents,
and urged the necessity of haste in sending Tor
them, as the mortality was terrible. | did offer
70 deliver from ten to fifteen thousand at SaVan-
nah without delay. Although this offer was
made in August, transportation was not sent
for them until December and during the inter-
val the mortality was perhaps at its greatest
height. If had not made the offer, why did
the Federal authorities send transportation to
Savannah for ten or fifteen thousand men? If l
made the offer based only on equivalents, why
did the same transportation carry down for de-
livery only three thousand men9
Butler says the offer was made in the fall
(aecording to the newspaper report), and that
seven thousand were delivered. The offer was
made in August, and they were .sent for in De-
cember. then delivered more than thirteen
thousand, and would have gone to the fifteen
thousand If the Federal trapsporjat had been
sufficient. My instructions to my agents were
TO deliver fifteen thousand sick and wounded,
and II that number of that class were not on
hand, 70 make up the number by well men. The
Oner was made by me in pursuance of instruc
