rom the New Albany Ledger, June a.
There ais many strange vicissitudes fn
human life, but we have heard of nothing
OF late stranger than the follow;no sFory
reiated 10 as BY the principal actor in the
scenes--s father, who, for nine years.
had been separated from his family. and
mourned them IS dead-and was .udden-
ly and UNEXPECTEDLY brought into the
presence OF one of them at picnic. The
particulars, as furnished Us by The father,
are as follows: ~ t.ss
On the first day of September, 1861,
AIr. Asher Butler enlisted in the Confed-
crate army in Tennessee, leaving behind
him, when his regiment marched, wife
and one child-a daughter, aged nine
years. At the battle of Chicamauga,
Butler was severely wounded, and for q
long time was confined to q hospital.
During this time areport reached his wife
that he was dead, and in course of time
she married again, and, with her husband,
removed to Louisville.
Time moved on, and Butler recovered
and was again sent to his regiment but
he could hear nothing from his family.
At the battle of Resaca, Georgia, on the
18th Of May, 1854, he was again severely
wounded, and was captured, and upon
his recovery was sent to oneof the camps
for rebel prisoners north of the Ohio,
where be remained until the close Of the
war. --'-' ..--.. E
Upon his release from captivity be
made every effort to ascertain the resi-
dence Of his wife, not knowing that she
had married another. But all his efforts
were In vain. He could hear no tidings
Of her OF bis child, and concluding they
were dead, he not long ago married again.
Last week party of the citizens Of
Louisville, gentlemen and ladies, held 8
picnic at Newman's Grove, below this
city. Butler was one of the party. In
the course of the day young lady of
eighteen was frequently noticed by him
to be closely observing him, and finally
she requested the young gentleman who
accompanied her to go to him aneask him
his name, and where he came from.
The young man did as requested, re-
ceiVing an answer that his name
was Asher Butler, that be was an Exon.
federste soldier, and other particulars Of
his life. The answer was communicated
to the young lady, who without further
inquiry rushed into Buffers arms, and
covering his face with kisses, exclaimed,
Ny fsther-my long lost father Thank
God, have found you at lastln And so
it proved, for after nine years of separa-
ton father and daughter were thus I'M
expectedly brought together.
The daughter said that as soon as she
saw Butter she had strange presenti-
ment that he was her father, and although
she tried to get rid of the impression she
couldn't do so; and finally persuaded the
young man accompanying hertoinquire of
Butler who he was. Father and daughter
are now happily reunited. But what viii
be the result with the doubly married
father and mother we do not know.

OUR REPRESENTATIVES, AT
WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune is by no means eompi-
mentary to his Radical brethren, the Ten
nessee Congressman. He says:
''This State has the meanest delegation
in the House of Representatives at Wash
ton, headed by Roderick r. Butler, who
kept his seat in the House after having
been pronounced unworthy of it, like the
Reverend Mr.. Dimmesdale, who prefer
red to preach in the pillory. Its debt has
been increased two-thirds since the war,
by Jobs and expenditures to keep up non
representative rule, and in its entirety
now amounts to $50, 900, 900. Its bonds
are worth 40 cents, although the recent
"bull' movement ran them up to GO,
where they cannot stand. The Governor
of this State is man of some rough
graces, not q Radical, and yet Republic
can. The neutrality-suspicious. ele-
ment is trying to have the Commonwealth
upset, so that the thieves who are nGmer-
ically on the bottom side may be trans-
formed from barnacles to gentlemen.
The Senatorial delegation Of Tennessee l
have nothing TO say against. Parson
Brownlow is an honest, though spasmodi-
csily violent man, and Fowler is an hon
est, tutor-like, weak man.

THE HUNTINGDON BRANCH
ERAEIRnAn


We have received the following letter
addressed to Hon. B. A. Enloe, Represen-
tative from Carroll county. The proposed
Railroad from Hunting Ion to Jackson is
now as dead as door nail. The bill
introduced by Mr.. Enloe, 10 which re-
ference is made in the subjoined commu-
nication, proposes lease of this branch
road to the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, provided they will
build and run this near cut to New Or
leans. This is an important link for the
completed roads of Tennessee, and win
when thoroughly established impart sddi-
tional vitality to our entire system of In
ternal Improvements. If permitted to
remain in its present unfinished condition
it is not only totally valueless, but COM
pels the payment by the State of the
bonds already issued to it. 1t is there
fore sincerely 10 be hoped, that such
legislation viii be adopted as viii make
this road benefit to the immediate sec
ton of country through which it passes,
to the balance of Tennessee; and also
save the Sta.e from the payment of the
debt which has already been created on its
account:
JACKSON, Tenn, June 27,. 1s70.-Hon.
B. A. Enloe, House of Representatives,
Dear Sir: The undersigned citizens of
Jackson and Madison counties beg leave
to thank you for the bill introduced last
week, locking 20 he finishing of the rail-
road connection between this city, Hunt
ingdon and Nashville. We have long
felt the necessity of direct
line of railway from the interior
of West Tennessee to Nashville, the capi-
tai of the State; and we venture the pre-
diction that the building of this short
line (now but little over 25 miles) viii
add more to the net earnings of the Nash
vile and Northwestern Railroad than the
present income, or even the inceme after
1t is put in first rate order. Connecting,
as it will, at this place, with the two
long line of roads from here to New Or
leans and to Mobile, the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad will not
longer continue to be a tax upon
the bounty of the State, nor
will it have to pass into other hands
and perhaps be made to pay tribute 10
cities beyond the borders Of Tennessee,
and that, too, at the expeuse of our own
cities.
We earnestly hope you viii be able to
secure the passage of bill that will in
sure the speedy construction Of this short
but most important line of road. The
people of Madison county will give ell
the aid in their power to the accomplish
meut of this most important end
Approaching the wisdom of the present
General Assembly, we feel assured that
some means viii be adopted
whereby this road can be finished. Very
truly, your obedient servants.
