A gentleman from Paris paid visit to
a country dame, 10 whose parlor he saw
the portrait OF lovely woman of abo1t
fve-aud-twenty. Upon the entrance OF
the lady the visitor naturally asked her
If the picture was family portrait, and
was told that it represented her deceased
daughter HAS it been long since you
lest her ?" asked the gentlemen. " Alas,
eli" replied the lady, she died just after
her birth, and have had the portrait
painted to represent her as she would APP
pear il she had lived until now"
Poor Carlotta has now an idea some
one is trying to poison her, and refuses

Death Of Cullen NJ. Baker.

FROM DC JEFFERSON simpWe"e'I
This man who has probably
caused more excitement and com.
mitted more crimes than' any man
of modern times, has at last fallen,
and the country brcsrhos free once
more.
Tho circumstances Of his deatk'
arc as follows:
About four weeks since, he went
to the house of bis brother. in.lnw,
Mr.. Thomas Orr, in La Fayettc
county, Arkansas, and breaking
down the door, took Mr.. Orr and
their father.in law, M. WIN. Eos.
ter, tied their hands behisd them
and kept them during the night.
Next morning he hung Mr. Orr
until he supposed he was dead, VIII n
he cut him down to &C! tho rope o
hang another man. This nan was
fnaIl y released by some of Baker y
men.-Mr. Orr recovered after Ba.
ker and his party left. Mr.. Fost'r
they released about IL o'clock that
day. On the 9th Of January Baker
and a man named Kirby came mo
the settlement again, and Mr.. Or,
with a few friends, determined to
kill them or sacrifice their lives in
tire attempt They rushed on him
and succeeded in killing him about
IL o'clock AM. The man Kirby
was also killed. Their bodies reach
. this city yesterday evening about
6 o'clock, and large numbers of per'
sons are congregated around the
tent where the bodies lie. Bakers
corpse has been fully identified BY
many who have Known him. Thus
ends the career Of man who has
kept whole couatry in terror for
months, and ME- Orr deserves and
will receive the thanks of mankind
for his action in Kidding the State
ola man who had declared himself
tn" enemy of his race. Tho above
factSswc getfrom Mr.. Orr in person.

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1869-07-31

THE new bridge on the Nashville
road across the railroad, is neatly and
strongly executed, and a separately
rallied in footway has also been con-
structed on the north side of the
bridge. This is great improvement
on the old plan, as it secures ladies,
children and timid persons from scare
and danger. The approaches to the
bridge have been raised for consid-
cradle distance making the access
regular and good. We notice that
broken rock is now being deposited
on the fills. These repairs are credit
able to those projecting and executing
the same.

Hon. nv. u. Stoles, Nashville, Ten.

Hon. w. Is. Stokes, NASHVILLE, Ten
ncssce:
MY DEAR SIR am in receipt of
your letter relating to the political
contest in Tennessee.
| am greatly interested i'm your sue
cess-bclieving that the future politi-
cal character and general prosperity
of the State depend largely upon the
continuance of the Republican party
in power.
1t is quite likely that Mrs Senter is
receiving the support of members OF
the Republican party, but ii is certain
that he is also receiving the unani-
NOUS support of the enemies of the
Republican party; the enemies of the
Congressional plan of Reconstruction,
and of the principles embodied in the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
mcnts to the Constitution of the
United States. The interests of the
loyal people of Tennessee, both white
and black, especially the interests oi
the black people, are to be promoted,
and the rights of all are to be made
secure by your success. The platform
of the party is not so good an indica.
ton of their purpose as can be be OBJ
tanned from n knowledge of the politi.
cal character and opinions of the men
who control the party. | am sure
that you, and those who are support
ing you in Tennessee, will sustain tho
principles of the Republican party,
hut we have no right 10 expect that
those who for eight years have OPP,
posed the government and resisted
measures for its reconstruction, are
now to yield cheerful support TO the
Republican party.
Very truly yours,
GLQ, :, boutwell,,
