her life had gone out on q battlefield.
1t was on Sunday. May 8. 1853, and
the field was that OF Chancellorsville.
Btonewall jackson had sheltered the
Federal right the evening before and
Received his own death wound. Stuart
with the whole left wing Of the Con-
federate army. had breasted back the
divisions Of Berry, French. Williams
and Whipple and his path was now
blocked by Sickle's corps.
At 8 o'clock In the morning hum
dreds Of the mon In line were out Of
ammunition and they got fresh sup

For one long hour we held that

against the terrible musketry fire
pouring In upon us. 1t wus during
that hour and while we were robbing
the dead and wounded Of means to

across. his breast, with his, left arm
and shoulder torn away. There was
an odor ,of burning cloth as we stood
over the bodies, and not knowing
whether the poor fellows were dead or
wounded we rolled the first ono OF
and found his jacket on fire over his
chest. The shirt beneath was burning
also and II WAS In stripping tho gar.
inents off that we made the discovery.
1t was n young woman about 20 years
OF age, her hair cut short and her face
md hands brown with tan.
On making our report the body was
ordered to be carried TO the rear. but
before this could be done our whole
line was pressed back, and mono OF us
ever saw 1t again. Regiments. com.
panies and squads were 80 mixed up
on that field TINT we could not tell to
what command she belonged. Tho
dead man lying beside her was n SER

perhaps, but no one will ever know.

l told him had come to ask him the
price OF hoof-beef. He looked at me
and the smile fed from his face
Then he said: Please repeat that

Result of Woman Rule.

This city has just experienced one
OF the most unique weddings that any
place can boast Of. Argonia, Kan, is
under woman rule. The town officers
are women, and in fact when it comes
to official business the men are not in
it, This peculiar, aud to certain
extent abnormal state Of affairs, has
given to the ladies IN independence
o! thou 1T and action that is far in
advance Of the ordinary women Of the
country.
Not only do married ladies enjoy
greater freedom and broad.r views,
but the girls snd young ladies talk on
Tree thought. There Las been a grows
ing independence among the young
ladies, and at a small evening party
some weeks ago the matter OF equal
rights was discussed by the young Of
both sex. The young men took the
ground that while the ladies could vote
and hold office, there were some in
stances in which they had to acknowI-
edge the supremacy Of man, in the
matter ccurtsh;p and marriage being
especially a.enliouoi.
This, at first was poser for the
ladies, but Mss Ella Smith said she
thought she had as much right to 90
counting as a man had, aud if she
wanted to marry a man she would ask
him.
The matter was looked upon as
Joke, but few days alterward the
young lady made good her assertions,
calling upon Walter Titiin, after a
brief conversation, proposed marriage
As she was one Of the most desira,
bic young ladies OF the town she was
eagerly accepted by the fortunate
young man, ana the wedding came off
last Wednesday evening. The cere-
mony was performed by Mrs. James
Gibson who is justice OF the peace of
the town. The wedding was joyous
affair, aud it is said the innovations
will spread.

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.

The Columbus Ledger makes a
very god suggestion. 1t proposes
that southern business men hold ,
commercial convention in Atlanta at
near date to discuss the currency
and other very important bLsines,
questions. We give the following
outline Of the Ledgers proposed plan:
Let the convention discuss the
question o. the establishment of state
banks under uniform laws in every
southern state, with power to issue
currency on a liberal, yet corserva-
tive, increase over every dollar OF
state bonds bought by the banks
sought to be established.
BY this principle the "wiIdcat'
feature, which is so Objectionable in
local currency, would be practically
done away with, and the money OF one
state, under such plan, would pass as
current in another state and be Just as
desirable as government notes OF
national bank bills.
A concert of action by the several
legislatures of the southern states
would bring about results in the mat
ter Of a plentiful supply of money
that would make the south's great re-
sources blossom as a rose, aud place
its upbuiIding above dependence
upon capital from the north that ia
strengthened er made timid by the
slightest local influences in the south.
Then, too, under such Il condition
OF affairs, the farmers could be assist.
ed oy the establishment OF something
akin to 5he sub-treasury plan, whereby
such liberal advances could be made
on cotton in store ~ would enable
them to hold their bales until such
time as suited their interest to sell.
Another important question that
should be considered by southern
commercial convention is the matter OF
giving encouragement to importation
through our southern porls. But
these are only few Of the questions
that are Of vital interest TO the south,
and to the comfort and happiness OF
our southern people. The idea
broadens as one thinks OF it, ard can.
not be encompassed in any brict
space.
In the meantime it should not be
forgotten that these plans, il put into
operation, would not in any way inter
fere with the commercial relations
between the north and south, and
would necessitate no change in the
present national banking system.
They would simply give US at home
what we need at home.
