When news of the discontinue of the
British force Under Gen. Atcheson by
the Fenian force under Gen. O'Conner,
at Nashville last week, reached Jones
borough, it is said Gen. Stephen A. Bo-
ven, manipulator-in-c chief of the British
movement, expressed poignant regret at
the inexcusab1e blunder of General
Atchesen in permitting his infantry to
be surprised and cutcG from the protec-
tion Of his artillery, at a time so critical.
Topreyent any such catastrophe to the
Army of the Ohueky, General Bowel
ordered his artillery to elossthe Chueky
and hold the position he now occupies,
which is in the mountains of Hepsidam,
overlooking Greasy Cove, II. c., where
his bronzed and stalwart form, towering
high above tile scrubby pines, can be

We announce with sadness the death
III Mrs. ". j. Taylor, the consort of
Capt. Taylor, Of our town. This eStfna-
bic christian woman, daughter of the
late J. B. Leach, after lingering i'll
ness, breathed her last at her resistance
on Thursday, the 28th ult. Mrs. Taylor
was, at the time of her death, about
twenty-six years Of age. During her
brief pilgrimage on earth, she had, in
all the relations of life, so beautifully
illustrated the influence of the christian
graces as to possess in a large degree The
esteem and confidence of all who had
ever known her. She leaves, besides a
large circle of relatives and friends, a
deeply bereaved husband and two very
interesting little boys to mourn their
irreparasle loss. We extend TO them,
one aud all, but especially to the sorrow
stricken husband and motherless chill
dren, the warmest sympathy Of our
hearts May they, in this the greatest
bereavement that could have possibly
befallen them III this life, realize that
Earth las no sorrow that heaven can
not heal. Deeply interesting and APP
propriate religious services were con
Quoted ii. connection with her burial on
Friday afternoon at the Methodist
church by the pastor, Rev. q. i. Car
roll and Rev. w. IL, Smith, of Tie Pres
byterian church. The large and atten
tive congregation there assembled bore
ample testimony % the estimation In
which the deceased was held by those
who had known her from her girlhood
until the day of her death.
