occurred at Lake Providence, at the
wharf boat of George W. Smith. New

to which Smith when he observed it,
made objection. Kennedy then said he
could have it wherever he chose, but
there was "no necessity for being SC

to prove that the form Of nervous blind

frequently produced by excess in tobacco

Mr.. Hutchinson recorded thirty-one wert

Important Ohancery Suit Decided.
GEN. BucKsER's PROPERTY RESTORED TO
HIN.

From the Louisville Courier, Dec. 3l.l
In 1861, while the Confederate army was
at Bowling Green, the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company instituted a suit,
accompanied by an affidavit by it's Presi.
dent. Mr.. Guthrie, that Gen. Buckner had
destroyed the splendid bridge which SPAN
ned Green River, and alleged that he being
in the rebel army, his property was subject
to attachment to cover the damages. Un-
der the shameful laws enacted by the Leg
islature in 1861, the attachments were
levied upon all his estate in Kentucky,
consisting ofan elegant residence, three
stories high, with seventy nine feet front
on Sixth street, and running through the
entire square, with equal front on Center
street; house and two lots in Elizabeth
town "a farm of some hundred Of acres,
being his ancestral home, in Hart county /;
and his library and furniture, and large
amount of other personal property. With
out any process being served upon him a
verdict was obtained, under the statutes
then existing. Of more than sixty thousand
dollars. The residence and the farm were
sold by the marshall and purchased by the
railroad company, who paid for it by Civ
ing Gen. Buckner credit on their judg-
ment. The personal property was also
sold, and the proceeds paid to the railroad

OMENs OF DErEAr.-Never in the histo-
ry Of political parties have the indications
Of disintegration and speedy dissolution
been as numerous and unmistakable as
they are at present in the Radical party.
And while every manifestation OF public
sentiment, every election and every omen

Mr. Carlyle styles it, as if it was a lunatic

has yet been pleased to smite with mad

In all the elections which have been held

aas- The Hon. Cornelius Hamilton,
member of Congress from the English dis
trict Of Ohio, was murdered a few days ago
by his eldest son, a boy Of eighteen. The
youth had given some signs of insanity Tor
several days previous to the murder, ana
his father had made arrangements to place
him in an asylum for the insane. The muir
der was committed while Mr.. Hamilton
and his unfortunate son were feeding some
cattle. Young Hamilton crushed his faith
ers skull with heavy stick, and then coy
cred the body with straw. He afterwards
attempted to kill his mother, mis- younger
brother and several neighbors, with an axe
but was finally overpowered before he hae
inflicted any further injury than severe
wound on his brothers shoulder. Had NJ
not been knocked down and secured b.
one of the men he attempted to kill, othe
members Of the family would certainly hav'
fallen victims to his terrible fury.

Noble Sentiments.

The Board of Commissioners Of the An
tie:am Cemetery had resolved, with but
one dissenting voice, not to permit The bu- |
rial Of the Confederate dead within the en-
closure. Gov. Fenton, Of New York,
however, has evinceda nobler feeling in
the matter, and has instructed the Special
Commissioner Of his State to reverse this
seuseless insult to the dead. This has
been DONE and now the remains OF the
warning armies are TO lie separate, but IN
der the protection Of the National Gene
terry. We will give our readers pleasure
by transferring some extracts from Gov,
Fenton's letter, to our columns
But looking at the matter not from
narrow, technical point Of view, but from
broad national standpoint, it seems to me
that good faith towards the State OF Mary
land, which originated the scheme, purchas-
led the ground, enacted the law. and mace
two appropriations to carry out its objects,
makes it the clear duty Of the trustees to
effectuate, as far as lies in their power, the
known intent of the act, and that such
course will meet the approval OF the peo-
/ ple Of the loyal States who have become
parties to the corporation, and whose dead
repcse in the cemetery. A strong local
and individual feeling in the neighborhood
of Antietam and other parts Of Maryland
naturally engendered by the invasion, may
!have created some indifference in regard to
the Confederate dead, and an indisposition
! to see them buried side by side with those
, who died in defense Of our nationality
But it is confidently believed that no such
feeling pervades the breasts OF the Amerl
!. can people, or the surviving officers aud
! soldiers of the Union armies.
I The Governor says there is an earnest
desire at the North to restore the South te
greater prosperity than the war destroy
: cd, and that this sentiment will not ap
y prove "an invidious distinction against tn
8 Confederate dead" but will approve 0
i their "heing carefully gathered from tn

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY FOR THE UNITED
STATES. London Globe says: A pro-
iect is on loot for the establishment OF a
Southern University in the United States,
and the assistance Of English churchmen
in attaining that object has been sought by
the rev. F. w. Tremlett, Of st. Peters,
Belsize park. The movement is hot a sec
tional one. It is intended as an offering
to the whole American church, and not to
the Southern States as against the North
ern. Nor does it proceed from any single
party in England both High Church and
Low Church are associated in it. All the
Archbishops and most Of the Bishops, all
colonial, metropolitans and many we'll
known leaders Of church opinion approve
Of it and have expressed their willingness
to cooperate. Several emminent states
men, both conservative and liberal, have
promised to assist. Among the subscri-
bers are Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Claiborne Har.
DIV, Earl Stanhope, the Earl Of shaitesbury
and Lord John Manners. Upon the com.
mittee are the Earl Of Carnarvon, Lord
| Cranborne, Earl Nelson, the Archbishop Of
York, the Bishop Of Oxford, Mr.. Borestord
| Hope and Mr.. Gladstone. There certainly
could be no better representation than thu
! Of different sections of churchmen. Th'
| feeling which has led to the movement II
the desirs to Graw closer tbs bonds OF sym
patty between England and the Unlte'
| States and the English and American chur
ches. The cordial reception given to tn
American Bishops who attended the Pan
| Anglican Synod has already produced YER
gratifying results. and it is felt that to as
sist in the establishment, or rather the re
storation, ofthe Southern University woul
further strengthen friendship and mntn'
respect. 1t will be pleasing Memento {
