MARSHAL NEY.-MEssRs. EDITORS II
was very much entertained with the ac-
count given by your correspondent of the
supposed identity of the school master Of
Cabarus and Marshal Ney. If true, this
would be almost match for the story OF
DionysiuS of Corinth.
OF the same Marshal Ney, the present
writer has heard another tradition, conf
IDENTITY believed by the REALTORS. The ira
dition is that the Marshal was really ma
tive IN this country, born in or near the
town of Elkton, Md That his proper
name was Rudolf, l think Michael Rudolf !;
that he emigrated to France during the
revolution in that country ; entered the
armies of the repuulic, and fought his way
up, during the empire, to the distinction
of Marshal, and of being accounted &" the
bravest OF the brave,-one OF the very few
men, (such was the Judgment of BOnaparte)
whose courage could be daunted by no
alarm of any kind, in any circumstan-
ceS. [ heard many reasons assigned
for the truth of this strange story.
Some Of them, I thought at the time, very
plausible, though / was not convinced by
them, considering the whole matter as very
mythical. [ have forgotten nearly all of
them One, if [ remember right, was that
tue Marshal spoke very good English, an
accomplishment he was not likely to ac-
quire in France. Did the Marshal speak
good English? Did the school master Of
Cabarrus
l have faint impression that there was
once published, or said to be published, a
pamphlet q never saw it, giving an &c
count of the Marshaps course as Michael
Rudolf. The story, I ain very confident,
was believed Dy at least some members of
the Rudolf famiIy-Cor Raj. Sentinel.

SUMMERS SUFFRAGE BILL.

Referring to this measure, Mr.. Wade
said he had not made up his mind exactly
whether he ought to vote for it or not. He
believes that under the last clause Of the
thirteenth amendment, giving Congress
power to enforce the abolition of slavery
10y appropriate legislation, there Was am
pie authority for the passage OF the bill,
for no man was really free i'll this country
unless lie had the right to vote. But lie
was believer in State rights i'll a proper
and Legitimate way, and did not KNOW but
that this bill was Ill violation OF the right
Of each State TO regulate suffrage.

| MRS LINCOLN.
| During our conversation, the subject OF
Mrs. Lincoln and her recent disgraceful
conduct came up, and, remembering that
Mr.. Wade was one of q committee appoint
ed by the two houses to investigate the
peculiarly condition in which Mr.. Lin
coins family was left, and report a bill fol
their relief, asked him if it was true as
stated by Mrs. Lincoln, that Mr.. Lincoln
left little or no property behind him.
"No," said he, sit is a id lie. We
looked into the matter very carefully. The
Illinois men wanted to give her one hun
dred thousand dollars, and we agreed to dc
so, if it appeared that she really needed it
We sent for the administrator of the estate
and he testified that Mr.. Lincoln left $75,
600 IN Government bonds, or something
like that, besides some little productive
property in Springfield, Dlinols-in oil
about $1,000 We thought, then, tina
$25, 0CO would be enough-the same as wa
paid the widow of Gen. Harrison. Mrs
Lincoln was very we'll off and didn't need
even, what she got She took hundre,

what-away with her, and the Commission
