where the Silks, Satins and Fine
Linen Went To.
In one Of the towns of Northern Illinois,
lives a man who was Quarterrhaster at
the commencement of the war with regi-
ment from Ohio. Originally very poor, he
now has house finely furnished, and the
sudden change of fortune is thus explained
by his wife who has no hesitancy in repeat
ing the story TO her friends, which is as
follows:
That at Nashville, her husband found a
house deserted, aud that he shipped the
contents North, and now enjoys them.
Among the articles are marble top tables,
etdgere, with rare shell ornaments, window
curtains, both lace and damask, large
amount of bed-clothes, and linen said
to be marked with the name of the owner,
table linen and rare napkins and large
amount of rich ladies' clothing Rich
silks of rare pattern, not now to be pur-
chased, are still worn by the family, whose
previous condition, and the articles preclude
the idea of their purchase. A large amount
of thread was also sent up, and cold at the
time.
Any party interested, who would like to
recover the same for the value, which Is
considerable, or as mementoes, can get the
name of a correspondent by applying at
this Office, and also get the name of re-
sponsible attorney who will assist with
much pleasure and free Of expense, if ne
cessary.
The above is no fancy sketch. We have
in our possession sufficient proof of the
facts above narrated, and our informant
has taken pains to furnish us with refer
ence.

Is There Chancellor Among Us

- ~
The session of the Chancery Court
was adjourned on Wednesday last,
and Chancellor Shackelford started to
Knoxville, the impression among his
friends here being that his going had some
connection with the resignation of his
Office as Chancellor and the acceptance by
him of a seat on TIE Supreme Bench Of the
State. Yesterday the Clerk and Master Of
the Chanccry Court here, NJ. B. Howell,
E:q., received Geographic order from
Judge Shackelford, now at Knoxville, TO
open the Chancery Court of Davidson and
adjourn it until next Monday, at which
time the Chancellor will be present to con-
tinue the business Of the term. This looks
little like we still have Chancellor, but
still leaves open the yexed question as TO
the existence Of a Supreme Court and who
constitute il? Who are the Judges
If Chancellor Shackelford is one, We
are without a Chaneellor-if he is not,
we are NliuOuL CuIISHC OOuAt
As the case now stands, We are
certainly without one or the other, and
if the awful tall swapping lately going on
in the Judiciary department Of the State
government is not peremptorily checked by
Gov. Brownlow or somebody else having
the requisite authority, there is reason TO
fear we shall soon be without either. As
we are not willing to see the history of the
man who swapped horses until he had
nothing left but an empty fodder rack
repeating itselfamong the Judicial officers Of
the State, we hope the bill introduced in
the Legislature providing for elections to
fill judicial vacancies will be forthwith
adopted Then we shall be certain Of
having Chancellors, Supreme Court
Judges, Attorneys General, etc, in suf-
fcient quantity, if not the most brilliant in
the world as to quality. We shall then be
able to 80 through the forms, if nothing
more, and our courts be in fix TO deserve
the virtue Of complete organization.

The ShelbyVille Rescue of yesterday

that district at 1,2S3. The same paper
adds: sksi ~ f4fFtf
Col. Mullins was in town the other day
looking as pleasing as a monkey with a
stick of candy. He had heard from the
election in this district, and it did him
good all over to know that those who were
instrumental in thrusting him aside to get
his seat in Congress were badly disap-
pointed and wofully defeated. While
Mullins wears smiling face the grim
visage fine other two aspirants before the
packed Convention denote asilent mortifca-
ton over hopes forever blasted, concealiDg
the smile of joy at their successors defeat.
Mullins is triumphant, cuen in defeat.

On last Wednesday night, says the
Gallalin Examiner Of Thursday, a man
named James MCGEE a son of Robert Nc
Gee, near Castallian Springs being in
toIicated, struggled off down the railroad
track, and, most probably laid down upon
it short time before the express train
from Nashville was due about eight
o'clock. Several passengers standing on the
platform felt the train strike some obstruc-
ton, and even in the dark, thought that
they saw the body Of man. On the stop
ping OF the train at the station lights we're
sent back and the body OF MCGEE found
torn and crushed to pieces, the entire train,
with engine, having passed over him. The
remains were gathered together and taken
to the Undertaking establishment of Mr..
c. B. King, and cofined. There were some
suspicious started that he might have been
killed by some negroes with whom he had
a difficulty, and placed on the track, but
we can ascertain no reasonable ground for
them. The verdict Of the Coroner was in
accordance with the above. One more
victim 10 intempe-ance.
