In one of the bloody conflicts Of the
late un-pleasantness, a soldier from this
city was reported among the killed. Upon
going to the wars he LEFT a family n
considerable property behind, and in due
time his wife thought proper to take pre-
hminarY steps to administering upon his
estate. She made proper application to
the County Court Clerk; but before the
issuance of the documents the supposed
dead man turned up all 0 X. The sud-
den temperance Of the lost one caused
too much happiness for either to think of
the administration business. n the thing
was entirely forgotten until Il few days
since, when John League, in turning over
old books, discovered the application.
Upon issuing notice for the lady to come
forward and administer, she promptly APP
peared accompanied by her consort, and
nc the same time informing the polite Of
ffciai that her companion was the property
she wished to administer on. Mr.. League
learning the true state of the case, kindly
informed the couple that if they would
paw charges he would wipe out old scores.
So the gentleman planked down four dol
Lars and left, rather uncertain in mind as
to the Justice OF making a man pay for
administering upon his own effects.

the aim of the publishers to make a
sprightly, Yivaei0us and entertaining
magazine. The articles are short, pithy,
pleaslngly varied, and there are no con-
tinued stories. 1t is q Southern enter
prise, and We have faith enough in our
people to believe they win lend encouT-
M to Southern literature.
The GAINESVILLE " scare" of which we
spoke day before yesterday, is thus ex-
planned by a friend, to the Nashville
Banner: 1.-The original cause of the per-
sonal difficulties which occurred on that
day, was the attempt on the part of a man
named Mckinney, and other Radicals, TO
transport negroes from Kentucky to vote
at that point. Mckinney went to Mr..
Dan Cliffe, Receiver of the Louisville,
Memphis and GAINESVILLE Railroad, and
e~ndeavored to get IN extra train for that
avowed purpose. Mr.. Cliffe, it is claimed,
refused to allow the use of a train for such
a scheme. Notwithstanding this refusal,
however. a lot of illegal voters came down
from kentucky on the regular train. The
citizensh had previously co~mplainedtO Gov.
.Senterg that II. w. Bunker, Commissioner
of Regiatration, had refused to open his
office, as required by law, when hat fune-
tiOnary requested Bunker to open the
same. Bunker refused to pay any atten-
~tioRtOthe Governors request. A negro
possessed of q Large number of blank GER
ti6cates, Thursday, our informant states,
proclaimed that he would give any person
a certificate who would vote for his (the
negro's) candidate. At this peice of inn
pudence on the part Of the Commission
er's, emissary, the feelings of the people i
were very Justly aroused. At one of the
polls Capt. Valiant accused a man named
McMullen of having brought illegal ne
gro voters from Kentucky, when the lat
ter retorted that the former was a d-n
lar. At this insult, Capt. Valiant slapped
McMullen IN the face, and a fight would
have ensued had the parties not been sep
arated. The militia was subsequently |
sent for and went down, but of course
were of no use. |
