The Hon. G.. A. Henry, Gen. VIM.
Quarles, Gen. HOrnbergcr, and Lieut..
Wright were among those present,
and active on the occasion. Nothing
ever warmed our heart more, than to
observe the tender solicitude of DR..

he gives his professional labors free of
charge. A little boy, whom he had,
under Divine Providence, raised from
sickness to health, almost from death
to life, caressed him so confidingly one
was touched with the belief, that
these children, instead of being father

Hon. John +. House. To this ora
tion, replcte with beautiful imagery,
we could not do Justice by our re-
marks. We hope to see Ii In print. -
If we would select one gem from an

our fancy most, was the "Citadel of

sentiments and demOtions--itslong
and yearnings-its hopes and aspira-
tions.
From the eloquent, and highly sat-
isfactory report of the President, we
learned that the Asylum, n beautiful
building, with fine surroundings, and
n magnificent view, has been entirely
paid for in two years-the farm of one
hundred and fifty acres is under culti-
walton, and partially stocked so that
1t Is the expectation of the managers,
in time, to make this institution self
sustaining. We hope, ere long, ev-
cry Confederate orphan in Tennessee
will be provided with a home in its
walls. We trust too that the Auxil-
larry Societies will soon send money
to erect suitable school-room for
these little ones-as this is ut present
the desideratum.
In closing this communication we
can not refrain from expressing our
grateful appreciation of the hearty

DEATH OF KIT CARSON.

We have received letter from
Samuel II. Hatch, Esq, dated Fort
Lyon, Colorado territory, May 9th,
announcing the death OF General Kit
Carson. He died on the evening of
the 23d at Fort Lyon, aged flfty-eight
years. The letter gives no particulars,
except that the deceased had been iii
ever since he returned from the Fast,
which we believe was about six
months ago. Christopher or kit
Carson" as he was familiarly known,
was an old mountaineer, trapper,
guide, interpreter and Indian fighter.
In many respects he was n rcmarka-
BILE man. He was noted rs possessing
a most daring and intrepid character,
and his exploits have formed subjects
for story tellers, tourists and histo-
rians. His wild and eventual early
life was IA fruitful theme for romance,
and his efficiency rs "guide" on the
plains and among the mountain pass
es of the Pacific slope brought his ser
vices into constant requlsition in the
early stages of the overland traffic
between the Eastern States and the
far West.

noble gentleman. IF ask from him
the hand of his child"
F." He would say" proudly inter-
rupted Virginia, that the eSoutherner's
daughter could never marry with the
soldier of the Union !"
Farewell, then, Miss Courtney ;
my bright dream is over. Come, my
good sword, we have been too long
parted" He endeavored to buckle 1t
on his arm still i'm the sling.
+" Stay, Captain Osborne" said Vir-
ginia, will send Phillip to assist
you. See, he Is returning from ride.
He will also bring out your horse
Good-bye!"
Her voice softened. He took her
hand and kissed it warmly.
"God bless you, Virginia, sweet
Southern flower--farewell !"
And so they parted, never to meet
again.
About this time the two armies al
ternately had the mastery. The Fed
erals had been successful, but the tide
of war now turned to the rebel army.
Many weeks had passed away since
Major Courtney left his family; frc-
quently had he been in some perilous
and harassing duty; all the time very
far distant from them. Now sus-
pension Of hostilltics took place, and
the Major obtained leave of absence
to visit his home. He was aceompa-
MED by friend, Captain Hazelton,
one OF the party who lay concealed
In the wooded glen; and 1t was he,
who on reaching tho bank of the riv-
er, first seized the welcome signal,
Virginia's handkcrchief-thc was
her name embroidered on 1t. He had
carried it with him ever since, md
now proudly displayed his prize. The
blushing girl held out her hand to re-
ceive it.
"No, Miss Courtney" said he, "af-
ter the Bonnie Blue Flag l value this
handkerchief. Your father has often
named his brave young daughter who
perilled her life that he, toil-worn and
weary, might snatch o few hours re-
pose"
Captain Hazelton was some years
older than his rival, the Federal ofil-
Ger, but he, too, though dauntless in
the field, was subdued, and fell an
easy victim to all powerful love.
The temporary truce ended, the two
friends returned to the army! but be-
fore departing, Hazelton solicited from
Major and Mrs. Courtney the hand OF
their child. Virginia's consent was
more difficult to obtain. She had no
wish to leave the happy home from
which she had never been separated.
At length he gained it, conditionally,
that he would watch over her dear ia
theirs safety.
The war was finally ended before
the two officers returned. Captain
Hazelton had then fairly earned his
promised reward, Virginia's hand, by
having Mt the hazard of his own life,
sought for among dead and dying, and
carried Off the battlefield the wounded
Major, conveying him in safety to his
home.
Virginia is now married. So de-
voted o daughter could not fail to
make true and loving wife. Her
husband regards her with affectionatc

miring friends, he will sometimes re-

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
A Romanns fh!,aen. Ia hA Early


Some forty years since Salmon p.
Chase was private tutor in the family
of William Writ; Attorney General
of the United States during the adj
ministration Of John Quincy Adams.
The usages of Washington society
accorded to persons in his situation
the entree to the fashionable circles of
which Mr.. Writ and his family were
distinguished ornaments. The POSI-
ton of the young tutor, however, was
somewhat anomalous and embarrass-
ing among the elite of the political
and moneyed aristocracy, and by
managing mammas and ambitious
young ladies, his approaches were
rather endured than encouraged
There was p marked exception, how
ever, to this illy-concealed indifIer-
ence In n lady whose character and
accomplishments gave her a COM
manding position In society, who all
ways contrived to fuakefrCfr for him
in the charmed circle which ths Sff6es
OF her manner and conversation inVas
riably drew around her, and by Civ
ing the conversation an intellectual
turn, instead Of the meretricous tone
which but too frequently pervades
such assemblies, placed him perfectly
at ease, and soon made him an accep-
table companion to those whose coun-
tenance and favor were not despised
or disregarded.
Upon the breaking up Of Mr..
Adams administration; Mr.. Chase
removed TO Cincinnati, where he
commenced the study of the law,
while he supported himself by teach
ing. He was remarkably successful
| as a lawyer, and also as politician,
and but few years comparatively
had intervened when he returned to
Washington City Senator of tho
State Of Ohio. Among his first in
quirieS was one respecting the lady
who had countenanced and befriended
him in his obscurity, but the places
that had known her knew her no
more. Misfortunes had come upon
her, and she had faded from the vision
and the memories Of her former as
socintes and admirers. Pursuing his
inquiries, he learned that she was
widow and In straitened circum-
stances, and making his way to her
humble residence, he found her con-
fined to her bed with fatal malady,
with scant attendance, and still
scantier supply of the necessaries
which her condition imparatively re-
quired. He Immediately summoned
a skillful physician, engaged COM
petent nurse, surrounded her with
every comfort that the most tender
solicitude could suggest, and devoting
much of the time that could he spared
from public duties IN personally min
istering to her necessities, cheered and
comfortcd her in her dying moments.
And when he followed her remains to
the grave he had provided ih one Of
the public cemeteries, he was the SOL
itary representative of that gay and
heartless world of which she was ofice
the ofanament aiid the pride.

THE M, g. Il l.. II. n. BANKRUPTCY
QUESTION.
opinion OF an Eminent Lawyer Of
Nashville.

From present indications, It Is prob.
able that the Memphis, Clarksville
and Louisville Railroad Company
will not soon file a petition in bank
ruptcy. The Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, eagerly watching
for an opportunity to "gather I'm " the
property of the virtually defunct cor
poration, have been anxious to pur-
chase the road Mt bankrupt sale,
provided complete control of It could
be secured by this means. One of
their attorneys in this city, Francis
B. Fogg, Esq, has advised them that
the franchise, or right TO run the road,
being In the hands Of the State, can
not be purchased Mt n bankrupt sale;
so that should they buy the road it
could not be used as q thOroughfare,
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
having no right to run it.
The matter will doubtless rest until
the next session Of the Legislature,
when bill will probably be intro
duced, providing for the sale of State
railroads at auction.

1t having been reported for some
time past that Hon. Alexander ii.
Stephens had been advising the
young men of the South TO leave the
country and seek their fortunes else
where, young gentleman Of this
city, who IL intimately acquainted
with this distinguished statesman,
wrote to him inquiring as to the truth
of these rumors, and yesterday re-
ceived a long letter from him, from
which we have been permitted to
make the following extract:
Allow me then, briefly at this late
day, TO say in reply to your inquiries
that / would not advise the young
men OF this country to leave 1t. Bad
as things are In IL, and bad as the pros
pect of a wise state Of things ahead,
vet see or know of no country where
the future prospects Of young man
are any better than here.
As I have said before, repeat, that
while Others may choose TO take life
boats, and make their escape from
our terrible wreck, yet rs for myself l
see no hope in them, and am resolved
10 remain; and, II need be, go down
