army, aud a. the close of the war had
an horo.ab,e discharge, chuck full of
incidents gath ared during his long scr

came west in his early manhood; and
he met with one reverse of fortune af-
ter another SO rapidly, that, as he re!at-
ed them to me, asked if he were not
a Jonah fleeing from duty. AT last
rising from sick bed to find himself
homeless ant deeply in debt to those
who had cared for him, as present re-
lief he volunteered In the regular army.
During his service he contracted such
q thirst for strong drink, that he is fain
to take refuge from temptation in this

the question:

the CalitOrniaEs are still in their beds

Young Ladies.

One of the social evils Of this age is
admitted TO he the reluctance of our
young men 10 early marriages. They
won't marry now, we are told, as they
used to, on 600 q year. Depend upon
it, in many cascs il is not the odd hum
drcd or two that is waatlng-it's the ut

A WOInan,a Freak.

The Cincinnati Times tells the follow
ing story, which it says happened last
week:
"a very respectable gentleman from
Chiliicuthe, accompanied by his " ife
and niece, the latter a very progresses
ing young lady, arrived in the city and
got accommodations at the Henrie
House. Attending the young lady was
her atlianced, n worthy young man of
Chi,iicothe, to whom she had been en-
gagged for three years past expecting
soon to be married.
Their three years of courtship had on
ly appeared To strengthen the mutual
admiration and love which seized
them both upon the occasion of their
first meeting. Everything seemed to
point toward a speedy aud happy union
lin fact, we believe the journey to the
city was planned for the purpose of OBJ
tanning certain necessary articles to
complete q brides outfit. The young
man was of steady, industrious habits,
i'm good business, and uncle and aunt
looked forward to his marriage with
their niece with pleasant anticipations
regarding their future. $50
In the afternoon this pleasant and
quite harmonious little family party
had caller at the Henrie House, in
the person of another young man, all
old acquaintance of the young !ady's,
aud former resident of Chillicothe,
but now n telegraph operator at q town
not far away from there. This young
man, as we are informed, was under an
engagement Of marriage with the young
lady some years ago, but the engage
ment had been broken Off He was on
perfectly friendly terms, however, with
all parties. lie said he was about to be
married, and lie asked the uncle ard
aunt If they would permit their neice
to accompany him to miiliper's on
Fourth street, for the purpose Of ss-
iecting n bonnet for his intended, ard
the request was readily granted. They
had not been gone very long when she
returned, and atterward sat down 10
tea with her friends as though nothing
had happened; but there had though.
After tea the Telegraph operator. game
to the Office OF the Henrie House, and
demanded his wiie's baggage with n
considerable display OF importance.
Explanations ensued, and Ii transpirel
that while the young lady WAS out to
select bonnet for the telegraph opera
tors intended, they concluded it would
III her ms well rs anybody, and so they
got married When the story was told
them and the marriage certificate shown,
there was an uncle and aunt quite Pc
trified with astonishment. There was
young man from Chillieothe, howev-
er who was not 10 much petritied, for
when he came back and learned what
had transpired. he took his pistol and
expressed strong desire TO shoot some
one. He would probably have reduced
the corps of telegraph operators by
about one il he could have found the

FLEMINC AT CHATTANoOaA

We extract from the report of the
speech of Mr. Fleming, Stokes opponent,
at Chattanooga on the 9th inst, as given
by the american Union Of the 10th. lie
said
The only course is Cancellation. Sup
pose when Lee surrendered, Gen. Grant
had said TO him, You shall not vote, nor
your soldiers, but the black man shall rule
You. Would the Rebels have surrendered
as they did? He said that the State had
no right TO punish men the second time
after the United States had pardoned him.
He spoke Of the means used to get the peo-
pie to Join the Confederate army. Their
dead are unburied, and they are taxed for
all expenses, and now men who never
fought are trying to crush them. If we
had foreign war could we go TO the late
Rebels 10 assist us in defending the flag,
while they are treated in such a manner
la time Of peace we should be strengthen
ing our government to prepare for war.
tie reminded the colored people that he
had been friend of their race. That he
advocated their right TO vote, but would
never allow the white man TO be degraded
below the negroes. lie exposed the ma
chinations of the Radical party, and said
that in Warren county the agent
Of the Freedmen's Bureau keeps the certii-
Gates Of the negroes, so that he may be sure
they will vote right. He spoke of the Loyal
League and the FIVE Is: Lincoln, Law
Liberty Loyal, League. Speaking Of liberty
in Tennessee, he said that il reminded him
of an lrishman who came to this country
for liberty, and Was attacked by a dog and
the stones were frozen in the road, so that
he could not raise them TO keep the dog
away. The dog attacked him, and the owner
told him 10 get out. Get out" said he, 81
come here for liberty, but it's a QUAR- lib
erty you have when the dogs are loose and
the stones tied fast % The Radical dogs are
loose and your votes are tied fast. He then
spoke of Stokes record, and said he could
prove him a liar and horsethief He said
that Stokes used counterfeit Rebel money
during the war to buy his provender Stokes
WIS made General because he was gene

ing which Stokes instigated his regiment
