Additional Local News.

IT is said a ferocious "tiger" has again nestled down in the city .—Journal. Will the editor of our Main street morning contemporary locate the "lair" of the beast?

WILLIAM DODSON is the "tried, trusty and true" engineer who holds in the palms of his hands, as it were, the fate of the many passengers who, from day to day, trust their lives to his skillful management of that model of beauty, speed and durability known as the "Pacific" engine of the St. L.y V., & T. H. Kailroad.

OXR OF TUB FAITHFUL.—A. J. Sherburne, Conductor of the T. H. & I. Railroad, has been connected with that road fort wenty years, and is known by everybody aloug the line of the road as a most genial gentleman, and by the officers of the road as a very faithful and efficient officer. He commenced his career on the road when it was first built, and has been with it ever since.

TJIE sending of a "mourningenvelope" —an envelope with a wide black border— is pronounced a cruel and barbarous act. Scarcely a reader but will confess to an undefinable uneasiness, if not actual shock, to be kept up until the letter is opened, and the name at the bottom deciphered. True grief detests display the deeper the sorrow the more intense is the desire to shun observation.

SAVINGS BANK.—The Terre Haute Savings Bank, which commenced business on the 13th of December, 18C9, has received on deposit up to the present date, $237,219.64, and has paid out during that time, $76,362.45.

This is doing pretty well for a beginning, and the daily deposits are increasing their average all the time. Under its careful and economical management, this bank is increasing in public favor continually.

The Capital has been agitated for several days over rumors afloat to the effect that Mr. John Ii. Pearson of the firm of Pearson & Dickson, managers of the Academy of Music, and proprietors of the Academy ice cream parlos and confectionary establishment, was soon to be united in marriage to Miss Hattie Dicksou, sister of the junior member of the firm, Mr. J. B. Dickson, and a daughter of James Dickson, Esq., one of the wealthiest and most influential residents of Indianapolis. Last evening the reports were made realitj', the Rev. J. P. E. Kumler of the First Presbyteriau Church, Indianapolis, late of Evensville, officiating.

The city editor of the Journal,of that city, Mr. J. D. Nichols, played Jenkins, therefore we will let him tell what he knows about the affair, which,reads as follows:

The event took place at 5H o'clock last evening, and was witnessed by only the immediate friends and relatives of the contracting parties, from homo and abroad, and some half dozen specially in•ited guests. The parlors ot the plain though elegant residence of Air. Dickson were comfortably filled, however, and promptly at the time appointed the bride and groom appeared. The bride was elegantly attired in

a

white

ereap de Paris

trimmed with white satin point-laoe,

wiiite lace overskirt, bridal wreath and vail While the gentleman, of course, woro tbe usual regulation dress-suit.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. P. E. Kumler of the First Presbyterian Church, who appears to have tbe happy faculty of combining brevity with irapres.siveness, and almost before the fact was realized the final benediction was pronounced. After the congratulations had been extended with more than ordinary he-irtiness, the party adjourned to the dining hall where a noa' and abundant repast was served. In the meantime the City limd drew up outside and discoursed sweet music, playing the following selections Flower Quickstep, Serenade (Ye Murrv Birds), Overture, (The Wedding Festival), Concert polonaise, Hattie (Waltz).

The happy couple were the recipients of a I'di'iio number of useful and handsome presents, among which were noticed:

From James Dickson, Sr., purse containing 81,00'.*. Mrs. James Dickson, setsilver spoons.

John R. Pearson, to the bride, cluster diamond ring. James B. Dickson and Miss Emma Bntsc i, fruit basket.

John Dickson and P. J. Martin, silver castor. Thomas Smith, St. Louis, ice pitcher, goblets, slop bowl and tray.

Wm. C. Smith, Cincinnati, toilet set. George Dickson, pair bracelets. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gall, cake stand. Mrs. V. liutsch, toilet set. Miss Lillie liutsch, silver butter knife. A) iss Lida Dickson, silver butter knife. Airs. F. Goepper, *travy ladle. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Smith, card stand. Airs. P. Fahrbach, silver tureen ladle. Mrs. M. A. Dietries, boquet holder. Full set of China from the brido's mother.

And last, but by no means least, as an exhibition of good feeling, a huge brace of sun-flowers from Mr. T. B. Glessing, bearing the inscription: "Alay you be as happy," etc.,

Mr" and Airs. Pearson loft for Pittsburg in the evening train, and from thence will visit the Eastern cities and watering places, with the expectation of being absent about three weeks. We can not concludemore appropriately, perhaps, than by wishing them, in the old stereotyped form, "a pleasant journey and a safe return."

TO THE LADIES.

Parisan bonnets of white laee, with orange blossoms, are in vogue forbrides. A Cincinnati servant girl recently stole two wagon-loads of furniture while the family were at the theater.

A young lady, Miss Nellie M. Williams, has recently been appointed to the office of Commissioner of Deeds, in Oswego, New York.

A committee has been formed in Fiorence, Italy, for the purpose of organizing an international exhibition of female industry, to be held fn that city.

An old lady of Wood county, Ohio, almost an octogenarian, last season raised two hundred bushels of corn, and several loads of garden sass. She did all the work except the ploughing.

Mrs. Paulina Wright Davis insists that "on woman falls all the burden of marriage." Some men who pay the bills of their households think that some of the burdens of marriage fall on them.

A bridal chamber car is being built at Schenectady. After a while a modern train of cars will consist of baggage cars, drawing-room cars, smoking cars, sleeping cars, hospital, refreshment, funeral and nursery. We might as well go the whole figure while about it. "It's a desp'rt thing," said old Joe Smykers "desp'rt thing! That 'ere young couple who've been billin', and cooin', and makin' eyes at one another for a month, have now gone to the minister and got a permit to see if they can't keep it up for a lifetime

Some time ago a woman was tried and proven guilty of murder in a backwoods county of Mississippi. Her counsel could find no redeeming clause to save, and at last appealed to the chivalry of the jury, who gave their verdict," "Not guilty—becase she is a woman."

It is really an aspersion on a young lady's delicacy to say that she wants to get married so, to avoid such an imputation, a great many of them take public opportunities of avowing their solemn determination to remain single. This leads to a deceitful and highly unsatisfactory state of things, since there is seldom any truth in such asseverations, and it would be a sin against nature if there were.

One of the numerous imaginative New York correspondents of country papers thus writes: "A notable innovation is the introduction of cigarettes for ladies at a few of the fashionable dinners. Coming with the coffee, and on silver salvers lie the dainty little bunches, and white, jeweled fingers hold the fragrant Havanas with nonchalant ease. Twenty years ago only a few married women ventured to defy conventionality but now the various "isms" and the broad sweep allowed to reason form a more lax etiquette,therefore wonder ceases and surprise is mute. Neuralgia is the fashionable epidemic, for the cure of which smoking has been recommended therefore during the rainy days just past, graceful riugs and floating clouds make the demijour wax fainter is many luxurious boudoirs.

The editor of Woodhull fc Cloftin'» (woman's rights) Weekly says the paper is conducted on the principle that a "smart lie is better than a dull fact," and a sensational rumor is more precious to a newsmonger than the most profound philosophies."

HISTORICAL.

How General Morgan was Killed—Wonderful Story—Fac's that Hare Passed into History, Dragged Up and Rent vested with Truth—wen. Oillem's Recital.

GREENVILLE, TENN., Aug. 2-3, '71. It was stated in a former letter that I occupied the apartment in which Gen eral John Morgan last rested. Not many weeks after hi3 marvelous escape from a Northern prison, he resumed command of his forces,and advanced from Bristol toward Greenville. He had often been entertained at the elegant house of Mrs. Williams, whose son was the owner of the place (the mother haviug died a year ago), was then a member of Morgan's staff. Major Williams .was not with General Morgan when the latter left the brigade encampment, accompanied by Captain Gas3ett, and preceded his troops and entered the village. Williams followed rapidly. He overtook Morgan just as he entered Greenville, and soon learned that the place had been occupied the preceding day, by a prowling band of East Ten

11

esse Federal militia. The

troops of Morgan were left some miles away. It was late in the afternoon, and Major Williams, after an interview with his mother, stated to Morgan that she protested against their unprotected presence in the village. She said there were stragglers from General Gillem's command in the place at the time, and that if he remained they would be attacked and captured, or slain. Morgan insisted that there was no danger When at the supper-table Mrs. Williams again said that the General and her son and Captain Gassett should return to their encampment. Miss N. N. Scott, at the time a member of the horsehold said, laugningly, to Mrs. Williams, that if she persisted in asking the gentlemen to leave they might question the genuineness of her hospitality. Mrs. Williams replied, that General Morgan and her son were in great danger that General Gillem, with a strong force was at Bull's Gap, eighteen miles distant that General Morgan and her sou were recognized by many persons when they rode through the village, and that the place might be assailed at any moment. Morgan laughed at the sugges tion, and at an early hour retired. He occupied a large apartment with Captain Gassett, above stairs. Just after sunrise Morgan was aroused by Major Williams, who informed him that the Federal forces were in the village, and that they must fly for their lives. Williams had incurred the deadly enmity of one or two men of influence that belonged to the Federal militia organized iu that vicinity, and was resolved not to be cap tured. HOW ONE BECOMES FAMOUS IN HISTORY.

Before Morgan and his Aides-de-camp reached Greenville between one and two o'clock iu the afternoon, another Mrs. Williams, a daughter-in-law of Morgan's hostess, left the residence of the latter for the purpose of going to a farm belonging to the family, three miies from Greenville. To this Mrs. Williams was ascribed the honor of Morgan's betrayal. Gassett, as heretofore recited, escaped and telegraphed the story over the country of Morgan's death, asserting that he was betrayed by the wife of young Williams, a brother of tbe Major, who conveyed the information that Morgan was at her mother's-in-law to General Gillem. This younger Mrs. Williams, whose maiden name was Rumbold, was, like her husband, a loyalist. She found that the story made her famous. She was flattered by attentions bestowed by those who were curious to see a woman of whom it was said traversed the wild country alone on horseback at night to demonstrate her devotion to the old flag. She subsequently spent a month or two at the home of Colonel John Williams, near Knoxville, and was the sensation of the hour, when Knoxville was filled with Federal soldiers. She confessed to Colonel Johu Williams that she had no agency whatever in causing Morgan's death, that he was not at Greenville when she left the village, and that she knew nothing of the terrible tragedy, or of Morgan's presence in the place until she returned, after he was slain.

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.

It is an old adage that a lie travels a thousand miles while truth is putting on its boots. The statement that Morgan was betrayed by this woman has become historically true, and so utterly false, as many a story of the late war, that each intelligent person who watched its progress has little faith in any history of any war. Gassett's telegram has traversed the globe, and now we have the unvarnished trucb, just setting out on its travels. That. none may doubt my assertion I furnish a letter written by General Gillem, commanding the Federal forces, to the late Colonel W. H. Sneed, once a member of Congress from Knoxville. It was received by this gentleman not long before his death, and thus never before saw sight. Colonel Sneed's excellent wife is related to the Mrs. Williams charged with the betrayal of General Morgan, and the story as it went abroad begot many personal and family feuds

GENERAL GILLEM'S LETTER. VICKSBURG, Miss., FEB.13,1869. "W. H. SNEED, ESQ—DEAR SIR: In answer to your letter inquiring as to the time when, and from what person I had information of the whereabouts and movements of General Morgan, on which my advance, and the action of my forces were predicated, and especially whether any member of the family or houshold of Mrs. C. D- Williams, directly or indirectly conveyed to me any information on the subject, I have no hesitation in answering. My command encamped at Bull's Gap on the 31st of August, 1864. Iu the afternoon of the 3d of Semptember Col. J. K. Miller brought a boy, some twelve years of age, to my tent. The youth informed me that his name was Leidy that he lived with his parents in Greenville, eighteen miles from Bull's Gap: that at 12 M. that day Osman's Confederate scouts had entered Greenville that, fearing the loss of his mare, he had sought to escape, but had been captured that after remaining in Greenville till the arrival of Vaugan's brigade, Osman's scouts had advanced with that brigade to Park's Gap, where the brigade commanded by Bradford encamped that the scouts then advanced in the direction of my camp about a mile, and stopped at a farm-house for dinner, when the boy escaped through a cornfield. These soldiers and officers said that Gen. Morgan would spend the night iu Greenville. Such was the intelligence of the boy that I knew it was Morgan's purpose to attack me, and I determined to take the initiative and attack him at daylight. A brave, intelligent citizen guided us by the Arnet Gap road to the rear of the left of the euemy's position, the main body of my force advancing at 10 o'clock at night, by the direct road to Greenville. Col. Ingerton tqrned the enemy's left, and getting iuto his rear, entered Greenville without encountering a picket. Information was obtained from

talion and McClung's battery were on the further side of the village, and that Morgan and his staff were guests of Mrs. C. D. Williams. Receiving this information, Colonel Iugerton ordered Major Wilcox, with troopa of the Thirteenth

a trustworthy woman that Clark's bat-_.take every morning, half a pint of new milk, mixed with a wine-glassful of ex­

Tennessee Cavalry, to charge into the village and secure Morgan* This order was executed with spirit and dash. Before Wilcox's command arrived at Mrs. Williams' house, its inmates were roused by the firing in the streets and at the stable where General Morgan's orderlies, with his horses, were sleeping. The General and his staff, half dressed, rushed out of the house and found the streets on all sides filled with National cavalry. In the melee, and while attempting to escape through the garden, pistol in hand, and without being recognized, General Morgan was shot with a carbine and instantly killed by Sergeant A. J. Campbell, Thirteenth Tennessee cavalry, who was on horseback some eighty yards distant from Morgan, at the southwest corner of Mrs. Williams' lot. Sergeant Campbell did not know who the person was that bad been shot by him, nor was the body recognized as that of General Morgan until the papers on his person were examined nor will this appear strange when it is known that he was dressed in light blu pants, without cap or coat. It has been charged that General Morgan was shot after his surrender. The assertion is not only wholly groundless, but, under the circumstances, impossible. The soldier who fired the shot was at least eighty yards distant, and the wound clearly demonstrated that the ball entered below the right shoulder and came out near the left breast.

Such are the facts connected with General Morgan's death. Neither Mrs Williams nor any member of her household gave me any information concerning the movements or position of the rebel troops upon which I predicated the movements of my command. It is verystrange that such a rumor should have gained circulation, when a son of Mrs C. D. Williams was present with Gen eral Morgan and serving on his staff. It has been claimed that a member of Mrs Williams' household conveyed to me at Bull's Gap information of the arrival of General Morgan in Greenville. This re port is utterly false. The only informa tion received is set forth in this letter About the time Wilcox's brigade entered the village I attacked the enemy in front vigorously, compelling Bradford's brigade to fall back until it came upon Ingerton's command, when it broke and fled in confusion. The news of Morgan's death was rapidly spread by members of his escort, who escaped from Greenville, which probably accounts for the rapid retreat of his center and right without scarcely an effort of resistance. After the engagement the body of General Morgan was properly cared for by the captured members of his staff, aided by my own staff. It was my inteution to send his remains to his friends at Lexington, Ky., but in deference to suggestions of some of his staff the intention was changed, and the re mains were sent through our lines under a flag of true. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

ALVAN C. GILLEM,

"Brevet'Major-General, U. S. A."

From the Piqua (O.) Democrat, August 23. Son of Aaron Burr Living in Miami Connty EDS. DEMOCRAT: It is known by but

comparatively few persons that a son of Colouel Aaron Burr, the arch-conspira-tor, around whom clings a romantic and tragical history, is a citizen of Miami county, yet such is the astounding fact.

If we have not a Bourbon among us, we have the offspring of a man who, for four years, held the second highest office in the gift of the American people, the slayer of Hamilton, and the attempted dismemberment of the Union.

I would not creditthe fact until led into the presence of the conspirator's son, whose head i3 now streaked with silver hairs, ripe for the tomb.

The old gentleman, who wears his mother's name, is passing the decline of life upon a farm, won by the sweat of his brow* is one of our most peaceful citizens.

He furnishes, yet very reluctantly, iucontestible proofs of his descent—consisting of letters from Burr to his mother, prior and subsequently to her sou's birth. His mother was Miss Catherine at that time (1800) a well-known Washington belle, who fell beneath the blandishments of the Vice President. She was noted for her beauty, refinement, and wit, and, after her ruin, fled mysteriously to Philadelphia. Her sudden disappearance from the gay Capital created a great deal of talk and after that event she was dead to all the world except her titled destroyer and his son, our citizen.

Mr. saw his father but twice— once after his acquittal before the Supreme Court of the United State3 atRich-1 mond, when he was tried for treason, the the second and last time in the latter part of 1835 in New York. Upon the latter occasion our old citizen was recognized as the son of the conspirator.

He was then aged—bowed to the earth with the great weight of four score years and a broken heart. Disease also racked his frame. Thirty years before his only daughter had sailed from Charleston, South Carolina, to meet him, but the vessel in which she embarked was never heard from, and the blow nearly crushed Burr's life. "Sir," said the old man, "although the blood of Aaron Burr runs through my veins, I detest it. He conspired against the best government on the face of God's footstool, and I am the offspring of a— traitor. "I tried to redeem my birth by fighting for my country in the Florida war but the odium rankles in my heart, and little does the government suspect that it pays a pension to the son of Aaron Burr."

When I asked him if I might publish his existence, he said "Yes. It will do me no harm but for heaven's sake, point not out my place of retirement to the gaping world. Stigmatize my father as you please but speak kindly, I pray thee, of my gentle and erring mother, who is in heaven, waiting for her son." "I am on the borders of three-score and ten," he continued, with moistened eyes. "I want to cross the river, where the stain of ancestry will never corrode a name."

I have not mentioned the old man's name. Without his cousent it never passes my lips, or claims the service of this pen.

But suffice it to say that he is often seen on the streets of Piqua, and more than once filled a juror's seat in our courts.

He waits calmly for death, and, I believe, has exacted a promise from his grandson to bury the letters of his father with him. A short time hence—yes, I feel it will not be long—a funeral cortege in this county will follow to the tomb a son of Aaron Burr.

Then, peace to his ashes! H. C. D.

Remedy For Nervous Headache. A well-known Kentucky minister, subject to severe spells of nervous headache, was in our office the other day, says an exchange, during one of those attacks. Major Brown of Mexico, was present, and proposed to releive bin in five minutes, which he did most effectually. The following is the prescription: "Take a desert spoonful of common soda, such as is used for making bread, and dissolve it thoroughly in a quart of cold water. With this thoroughly shampoon the head for about five minutes, scratching the skin of the head aud the back of the neck well with the finger nails. Then riuse the head with clear cold water." Major Brown says that he has used this remedy in perhaps a thousand cases since 18o2, and never once failed to give relief in five or ten minutes. This remedy is for nervous headache, and not for those afflictions of the head arising froni deranged stomachs.

KAIH VIGOR.

IYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair! The Great Desideratnin of tlie Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with "a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a ifHAlR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
