The RECENT JAIL RESCUE AT DYERs-
BURG.-A few days ago we mentioned
that Duncan, one of the parties to the
recent bloody ARRAY with Sheriff Tark-
ington and others, had been rescued
from Jail by a mon. The Gazette of that
place furnishes few particulars of the
affair. 1t seems that about eight o'clock
Sunday night twenty I'VE or thirty armed
men, so muffl ed that not one of them
was recognized, marched into the hotel
and forcibly took Duncan from the men
detailed to guard him, and placing him in
a wagon, together with the bed on which
he was lying, drove off with the wounded
man. On their entrance into the room,
one of the guards, named Jack Humes,
attempted to use pistol, when one ofthe
men Immediately shot him, inhicting a
dangerous wound in the leg. Nothing
has since been heard of Duncan or his
rescuers, but it is the opinion of the
attending physicians that Duncan could
not survive the removal and the cold
night ride imposed upon him and his
friends. The men making the rescue
threatened the life of William Ledbetter,
who, it is reported, attempted to shoot
Duncai, on the day of the fight, after he
had been twice wounded and while
PROSTATE on the ground Their MUIR
derous intention was abandoned through
the supplication of Duncan's wife. Dun
can is almost stranger in Dyer county,
having removed thither from Hardin
county about year ago.

Salary of Aldermen. etc. (2O), 500 OC

City Attorney R. ]. Morgan agreed
with the Mayors statement, and Endorsed
his proposition as the best that could be
urged. He had seen much of the inside
workings of the municipal affairs, and
he had to say that much of the present
complication would have been avoided
had the property holders Of Memphis
taken that interest in the affairs of the
city which they should have done, The
city had now as good a Board of Alder
men as any corporation ever had, but
without the assistance of the property
holders in this matter they could not go
ahead. The meeting was for the purpose
of devising means to carry on the city
government without an additional issue
of scrip; and he guaranteed that if they
selected the'plan, the Board of Alder
men would stand to it, and vote for every
measure of economy He took occasion
to say that he could find but one man
who would go upon the city's bond in the
Injunction case and when called upon
for the gentleman's name, he said he was
proud to say it was W. B. Greenlaw The
people were taxed to death, and notwith-
standing this immense taxation, there
was no money going into the treasury on
account of scrip by previous administra-
tons, military and otherwise
Mr.. j. b. Bingham inquired whether
the city government was responsible for
all the scrip issued.
This, Mr.. Morgan replied, was legal
question he was not yet prepared to
answer. The scrip was on the market,
however, and running the city. The
money advanced by property-holders,
if the Mayors proposition were agreed
to, would not be a loss, as it would be
returned them in the shape Of credit for
taxes.
Mr.. ]. B. Bingham deemed it neces-
sary to do something, and was willing to
contribute his proportion. He discussed
the question at some length, and sug-
gested the appointment of committee
of ten to act in conjunction with the
Finance Committee of the Board Of
Aldermen, and take the matter under
consideration.
This was objected to by Mr.. McDavitt,
who thought that relief must come at
once, or it would be Of no avail He
had the following proposition to submit
for the signatures of those present:
We, the undersigned, agree to pay to
the city of Memphis the sum annexed to
our names, in such amounts Of Install
ments as may be required by the com
mittee. The subscription is made TO pay
the current expenses Of the city govern
ment, and the amount so paid by US IS
to be placed to our credit on the city's
books, and to draw six per cent. interest,
and, when the last installment is paid,
we are to receive the notes of the city,
payable on the LIST Of January, 1863
Mr.. John q. Bowen, City Tax Col
lector, in reply to a question, said the
whole amoAnt Of taxes now due the city
was Sout s25OOOO.
Mr. J. B. Bingham thought the diff
Guilty could be overcome by Ae tax
payers paying their taxes in advance,
aud suggested that TO those present y
Mr. w. B. Greenlaw did not deem this

proposition practicable, as the tax books
and assessments we're not made out and
would not be for three months.
Colonel John Martin, sr-, favored the
Mayors proposition.
Colonel Robertson Topp thought mat
tiers were decidedly mixed. That some
thing must be done was evident, but
what TO do was the question. His
proposition was the following:
Resoiped, That committee be APP
pointed whose duty II shall be 10 report
to future meeting
!. The liabilities Of the city.
2. Their suggestions as to tho best
means Of paying or funding this debt
3. That the committee suggest the best
means TO raise money TO deiray current
monthly expenses.
4. That said committee report whether
any legislation is necessary, and If so,
what.
This he supported in short speech,
reviewing the condition of the country
and the ciiy's wants.
Mr., Henry G. swith reviewed both
propositions, and favored that Of Col.
Topp, which he suggested should be sub
mitted to committee. The question
being put, this suggestion prevailed, and
the following committee was appointed,
to which was added the Finance Com
mittee Of the Board Of Aldermen Rob
