FHoy CEArTASooGA,-A Son of Lteuten

From CHATTANooGA.-A Son Of Lieuten.
ant Gocernor Masye ChdSttSes q Coacdrd-
Posting Poltroon.-[ Correspondence of the
Lynchburg Republican, - Chattanooga,
Tenn, june S, 1S71.-With the view Of an
ticipating the exaggerated and incorrect &C.
city, which will doubtless find its way into
some northern publications. send you q
correct statement OF an occurrence In which
figured a gallant young Virginian.
A few days since Mir. John L.. Marve, Jr.
"a son, believe, Of your distinguished
Lieutenant.G oyernor), whilst engaged in
having certain property of j. Z. Stanton
(the superintendent of the Alabama and
Chattanooga railroad) attached for debt,
was set upon by j. G. Stanton, Charles H.
Stanton. his son, and others, and violently
| assaulted. Marye sought satisfaction, but
this being denied, he posted the younger
Stanton in the following manner:
II sent Il note to the younger, Charles
II. Stanton, demanding a meeting beyond
the State for the purpose Of arranging the
affair, as usual between gentlemen. The
coward refused this, and l therefore de-
nounce him az q sc0undrel, a p0ltroon, and
puppy. j. l.. MARYE, JE."
When the cards were disseminated, young
Marye took his position in a CD air, quietly,
about ten yards in front of the Burns
House, on the platform which extends all
in front Of the house, with one or two
friends near by to see fair play
Shortly after, Captain Slayton, the
t0ern-fghts' for the STATIONS, came up,
pulled down the card which was posted
on pillar behind Marye, remarking that he
"could whip any id rascal who put that
there" Instantly NJ. rose, drew his pistol,
and said: "Can you? then defend your
SELF" and brought the weapon down upon
him. Slayton, with great trepidation, ex-
claimed, "hold on, hold on,' ducked his
head and ran into the hotel, through the
back yard to Il high fence, which he scaled,
and made good his escape. The whole
town is i'll a broad grin at the farccal cow
ardice of slayton. Marye was afterwards
bound over for his appearance at the Cir
cult Court, but nothing will be done, am
satisfied.
The Stantons in this affair behaved most
cowarGly, and the entire community lex
cept few northerners) applaud the con-
duct Of young Marye, and denounce the
conduct of the STATIONS as base and cow
ardly beyond parallel. They were consid-
cred tirst-class fighters, but it is now con-
ceded that they will not fight unless they
have person in their power on unequal
terms. Young Stanton basely submitting
to their Forthcoming, young Marye proved
hinselfa worthy scion of noble sire.

HERE is another one of those heroes who
are so common that they attract little at
tention. John Ulyany, Of Michigan City,
Ind, was sailing on the lake with three
friends, when the boat was capsized by q
flaw of wind, and as the little craft
could bear up only three persons, Clvany,
saying that he had 10 family and they had
babe them good-by. released his hold, and
was drowned. Sir Philip Sydney never did
anything half so noble as that; and yet
who will remember the name OF John Oh
yany tomorrow?

the effects OF tue dry weather. Corn in
this section looks well, notwithstanding
farmers planted late, in consequence of
continued Wet weather. Fruit, there will
