MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.
sim Another MAN Drowned.

Another man was drowned in the Cum
berland at the wharf Just below the foot Of
Broad street in the most melancholy cir
cumstances- Mr. Osiah Russell, or Dodge
Russell as be was called, is the name Of
the drowned man He lived in North
Nashville, and had wife and two children.
He is represented Is being near thirty years
of age and an Industrious, sober man. He
was originally from Paradise Hill, where
his father, we learn, still resides. YesteS-
day he was engaged in hauling material to
the new building on the corner OF Broad
and Front streets. Near IL o'clock he IN
loaded his wagon and drove down the
wharf to water his horse. The steamer
Newsboy was lying alongside at the time,
and Just below the stern of the boat the
horse entered the river. The grade is very
steep and the river being swollen the ami
NAL continued forward into the stream.
The driver endeayored to stop the horse
or TO turn its course to tho bank. In both
of these endeavors he failed, and finally
the horse got into the current aud the wa
ter rushed over the vehicle, the unfortu-
nate man and his horse. He screamed for
help and struggled frantically against his
fate but in vain. In a few minutes
he with his team was buried
beneath the waves that flowed on without
sign of the fearful tragedy enacted upon
and beneaththem. Alarge crowd gathered
at tho wharf, and Vigilant efforts were made
with graphing hooks to secure the body.
Up to late hour last night, however,
neither the remains of the poor man, the
horse or the vehicle had been discovered.
To make the affair still more sad, we learn
that the wife of the drowned man with two
young children, is herself an invalid, con-
Aned to her bed and regarded as in a pre-
carious condition. The sad result will,
we trust, prove a warning to others to be
more careful in the future when riding or
driving into the margin of the river.

merry beneath their breezy branches.
The Sabbath School of the McKendree

never come again.
The st. Anne S Episcopal Church Sabbath
School of Edgeield, will give grand pic
mic at Mrs. Williams Grove, one of the
most charming spots that could be con-
ceived for such an occasion. All prepare
tions have been made to make each of
these gatherings a success and we have no
doubt but all their high anticipations OF
enjoyment will be realized.
The picnics yesterday were well attended,
and the occasions were highly enjoyable to
the participants. The Cumberland Presby-
terrain Sabbath School held theirs at
Henderson's Grove, near Smyrna, about
800 pupils being present. The exercises
were highly interesting, number of per
sons being present.
The pupils of the Tulip Street Church

delightful time picnicking in a beauteous
grove beyond their charming city. It was
among the pleasing events Of the season.

Sioux CRY, June ITO Assistant Ad-
jutant General, Headquarters Military Divi-
sion of Missouri: 1 have just returned to
this point. / went TO Cheyenne, above
Fort Sully, and had conversations with the
Indians there. Troops have been placed at
Lanca, Milestone, Grow Greek, Cheyenne
and Grant River agencies. have visited
all except the latter. Gen. Stanley was
there few dan ssince, and everything was
quiet have ordered two companies to
the lower Bruls agency on application of
the agent, who informed me that he would
not continue his business operations unless
troops be placed there.
Everything seems quiet, but the future
Is considered uncertain along the river. AT
Cheyenne, Maj. Randall's agency, was the
only place where talked with Indians /
observed that they made no promises for
the future, and some of the Indians there,
as well as at other agencies, complained of
troops being placed on their Reservation;
they understand, however, why it was
done and seem to admit the justice of it.
My impression is that we shall have no
trouble with the Indians on the Missouri
river of gs1erai nature. Il Che Govern
ment continues the policy of feeding them.
Otherwise, have no doubt, there will be
serious trouble. They will be more likely
to make trouble elsewhere, however, as
they can only trade on the Missouri.
The policy of sending for representative
men of refractory Indians clearly would
have good effect, and would certainly
break down their influence with the In
dams. Irequest the authority to advertise
a reward of five hundred or a thousand
dollars, say in horses, for murderers of
families on the Miobiara river; l believe
We may thus capture them, or at least pro-
duce the effect of lettering others from
committing like outrages for fear of being
arrested through similar rewards. leave

Commanders

A "Reminiscences of the War-HOw
the Confederate Army Changed
Commanders.
In his "Jail Journal" John Mitchell
writes "thusly" of 6elL1n1 days 1SG2)
in Richmond:
"And speaking of the organization Of
the Confederate army, let me mention here
a very surprising part of its history. The
officers being elective, pud the time ap-
pointed for new election falling last
summer, just when the enemy in over
whelming force was pressing upon York
town on their way up the peninsula
towards Richmond, the elections were
held, there and then, on the lines, in
the trenches, in actual presence OF
the enemy. Was there ever before an
Instance of an my changing, by cleo
ton, the whole body of its regimental
officers on the very eve OF battle! Yet
here it was done, quietly, regularly, with
out moments excitement or confusion
This, as well as several other examples
could mention, has brought Inc to the
conclusion that of all races of men in the
world, these Southerners have the largest
amount of sang frOid, of genuine impas-
sible GOODNESS and steadiness. Yet the
very contrary is the current and received
idea of their character. Southern impul
siveness, Southern passion and wild
blind fury-this is the cant-the direct
opposite is the fact.
''It happened the hill we were standing
upon was occupied by one of our city
artillery companies-the Richmond How
hereunder the command of Captain
Mccarthy. One feature of our Confed-
crate army, which find very notable, is
the number of instances in which a
bridesmaids son commands some cOmpa-
ny or battalion composed principally of
gentlemen in high position in society.
Many young planter, as private or lieu
tenant, obeys the orders of yoaug man
who at home was saddler or bootInakcr to
that same planter. These Richmond How
itzers count in their ranks some of the
elite of the city; and Ned Mccarthy, who
commands them, is the son of an honest
tradesman on Broad street. 1t is true
that Ned-if you go to ancestry-has
nobler one than any Fl. +. " being a
descendant of the Eugeman kings of
South Munster; but this consideration did
not count for him; nor do any such con-
siderations, am proud to see, influence
the organization of this noble citizen army.
If Ned Mccarthy commands this artillery
company, it is that his comrades all
judged he would make the best officer. y

The next time you prance up Broad
way just take especial notice of the lady
gum chewers. We have been making q
study of this thing for week or two.
There is the chewist, who buys her gum
when nobody is looking, nips off little
piece, and chews it on the sly. You can
only detect her after long practice. Then
there is the ''don't-care-a durn" sort who
chew with vigor, and don't care who
sees them. They open their mouths ike
railroad depots, and their teeth come down
on the devoted ''chaW" like forty thou
sand bricks. Between these two extremes
there are various grades of chewsTs-the
graceful and the awkward, the bold and
sly, nd iatfnituRs. Another thing, too.
The exac. state of the dear creatures
mind can be told by her manner of chew
ing. Should her spirits be serene, she
chews with q languid, easy sort of swing
to her jaws; if she be angry or other
wise, she chews Vehemently and savagely.
And so on through the whole list. A
] great study is that of the lady gum-chew-
ers.-Nes0 York Democrat. CO
