G. c. DAvEY, Michigan farmer who
has livedin Warren county long enough
to know what he is writing about, pub
fishes a letter IN the Cincinnati Times
of Wednesday, in which he describes
glowingly that section Of Tennessee. He
says: "The people are kind and warm
hearted, and viii gladly welcome every
good citizen who comes to this State to
settle and make it their home. All
seeking homes in a more congenial
climate, are respectively requested to
come and see our county Of Warren.
The prejudices which have been created
and reported about the people of this
State, have commonly arisen from
some political trouble" AS he says
he is receiving many letters of inquiry
about the county, good results may be
anticipated from his favorable report.

caslonally.
Are they your daughters, General p asked
Mr.. HideD. mo: not daughters, but nieces;
though feel very much as if they were my
daughters, said Gen. Lee Mr.. Hiden readily
consented to entertain the young ladies to the
best Of his ability; and in few days they were
at home at "Montpelozo.
OF course, they received much attention from
army officers, and night after night the parlor

General Lee mot Mr. Hiden on the street, and
asked. "llow are the young ladies getting on. !"
Mr.: Hlden replied that they we're quite well,

A REMARKABLE MAN.-About as remarka-
bic character as one W II meet in a Journey
through the West apd South is General Leslie
Combs. He lives at Lexington, KY. and is iu
the eighty-third year of his age. He was
cadet at eighteen, captain at nineteen, and a
bearer of dispatches during the war of 1872
his services being Of a particularly hazardous
complexion He fought the Indians, aud was
captured by them. Being offered his freedom
by the gauntlet games be started in the un-
even match, and he owes his life wholly to the
maguanimity of old Tecumseh. After this he
was confined with other prisoners, on the Bri-
tish ship Mary, where be had bullet ex-
tracted from his shoulder, After remaining 10
the hands of the enemy about week, he was
released on parole, and when Jackson finished
his battle at New Orleans be was exchanged.
His career as soldier and scout then closed.
He then studied law, practced it for some
thirty years, earned snug fortune and lost it
all in attempting to free Texas. He aided 10
recruiting troops for the wars Of lS47 and 1861
although he did not take the field as a soldier.
In politics he is an od-time Whig.
