She managed, by ber skill in the compound ing of tbe nectsury icgredient cf tweet cake, and the jJTeiatent macner with which ibe would follow np an appetite and run it down, to ecquire the means of liv ing: without the asiistance of other. She. attracted the attention and won the tdmiratioa of a iolitary hat ter, who calculated that by uniting tbe trades in one house the custom of eithrr might be increaic-d with ad vantage and great comfort to both parties. They were married in the little cabin of the caKe seller, whio was about ten feet Fquare, and just high enoagh from flor to cailirg to prevent a tall man from stooping, provided he had on a low cap. I he hatter had a Jaw suit pending at th ticne, which was eubsf q iently decided in bis favor. His limited sa viae-B were preserved to him by the efJortg of his lawjer and in the fullness oi bis heart, and th prompticg3 of a grateful feeling, he called his first born Alvia Cullm, after the succtBcfal lawyer.

The man whose name' be bora became interested in him. assisted in bis education and, in 1847 or '48, got tbe appointment for him to the U. S. Military Aca 'emy at West Point.

A few years after a stranger cilkd at the hous cf the father of his Wes' Point irind, it was in Naehvil!e,and bei nquired for him, sayiDg that Lieut. Gillam, who had ju3t arrived on one of th'.- sijall craft that navigated tbe Cumberland dar ing the summer months, was eiek, and anxious to see him Lieut. Morgan was absent, but hia father eem for his frienl, took him to his house almost in rags, nd louy, and sick, and in that house he was attended like a t oa. He recovered, wca supplied with money and clothing, nnd went on bis way. His next visit to Nashville was with tha Yankee army, and with the rank of Colonel. The house of Morgan waa conspicuously in the front rank of the army of patriots Every mm ber of it was known to be heart and SjuI in the cause of independence, with all tbe ev?rgy and determir a.tion which characters d them. The head ot that nous? and its m ile seioub must be away. I he daughters were not yet exiiis frjai their homts. Here waa an opportunity for Alvin Cul lum Gillum to remember, with the f-pirit of a man, his former visit, end the bospitali'y and kindness er joyed at that house.

Hood invested Daiton on last Ihursd-iy. and at once sent in a flag of true? aud demanded its fcorreuder. Col. J hnaon, the Federal commander, fa:ne in person to see our Gentrui. " Will yoa," 6aid ' be Colonel, "treat the gariion as prieoaerH of war, if I surrender ?,' 'No, sr" Will you paioleit?" "No, sir ; I wd! cllow jou five minutes to ecrrender, and if not complied i'h I will put the garrison to the sword." The Col onel cbsetvtd that the term3 were hard bnt tnat be would surrender, which was at occ-a done. The prison ers cp"urf'd were as follows : 800 negroes in Yankee uniform, 250 white soldiers, one battery of six guns, fidu artillery, and 80 cavalry, together with seveial gun mounted in the forts, a large qiaotity of stores, am inanition, saddles and blankets. The negro soldiers were at OLC3 . divested cf their blankets, overcoats, sho.F, bats, and iu many cases, their bre cies, c.d uader a stron? guard with horse whips put to tearing up the railroad. And this negro garrison was the reason that Cn. Hood refused tbir Colonel the ordinary terms of capitulation. Asa geu erat thing, the mentt the army were in favor of hanging the lust one of them on the nearest limbs, and as it is, it it very qu stionablr it many cf therri are carried fur as p-isoners ot wer. At lilton we captured 350 men without firing a guu. 3rVt Bug Gap, Major Falconer, Adjutant Gene ral of the army, and Maj. Clare tode out for tbe par pose of making a reeonuoissance. They suddenly came npon a body of the enemy and a heavy volley wa3 fired at them. Major F. waa shot thronrh the thigh and Ckre'B horse killed under him. The courier reporls that Col. Beck, of the 23d Alabama, was Eillet , but docs not state how or where. After Daiton was cap.ured a portion of our army wes smt to make a demonstration upon Reeaea, vhicb is strongly garrisoned, and tbe remainder sent towards Chattanooga, which is garrisoned by six thousanJ ne groes and whi'c men, chiefly negroes. I hardly think, however, that auy attack will be made upon that pia e, as it can b8 easily turned by the army crossing the nver well jou wiil find out before a great while. Whilst all this was grdrg on on the railroad, two biigtdta cf Oar cavahy were amusing the great and iruuiortal hero and strategist, W. T. Sherman, with his whole army, at Ram?. He drew up bis army in front of that town in regular line cf battle array, threw up entrenchments, put out flankers and skirmishers, made all other necessary arrangement s for a general pitcned battle, thinking that Hood was there with his whole strength ot reoels. Oar cavalry, however, gave him a fight which lasted two days, and when whipped they retired with colors flying. The 11th Texas a a 2i Arkansas regiments greatly distinguis'ic-d themselves in that battle.

The charge is, that Geo, Hose refused to lead hi troops into action in a charge lately ordered upn the Darbytown road. We have reliable authority for say ing that tbe facis cf the case are the?e : I he attack upon the enemy was ordered to be com menced at a cmain hour, and Gen. Hoke hd eruers to have his djvision in position and form a portion of the attacking force ut the hour named, lit did io ; but the other force which ws to have ac'd with hira, bad anticipated the time had gore in and Buffered repals. To Lave pat his division in under the circumitanees, j would not nave been in obedience to orders, and would have subjected it to a like fate. Wc have reason to be lieve that Gen. Hoke waa approved for his caution. He w?g at the right place at tbe right time, prepared to obey the orders. It waa not bis fault that circum stances made this obedience impossible. The tffoit to stir envy between Gen. Ransom and Hoke, is a petty attempt of malice, which will fail. In Nor lb Carolina both of these officers are duly eterisbtd both will obtain in history the jast allow ance of their respective claims, 'iheyaie both too wise and too patriotic to be drawn into antagonism for the gratification nf otheis. Neither of them owes any thing to tbe Yi gioia press for the distinction they have earned, and both of them have reeson to be con tent, that their own people bold in sacred esteem tbeir tervice and their character. Raleigh Confederate. A StATKEXAN'S VlKW OF THS AXXBICAX QtJSSTIOK. The following extract Irom a private letter, from one cf the most distinguished continental statesmen, has been communicated to us, and we can only regret that we are not at liberty to give tbe name of the writer : 4 I Lave read a great number of publications brought out by tbe war in "America, and among others Mr. Williams' 4 Rise and Fall ot the Model Republic." I was iuvoiably impressed with its profound exposition of causes ot this disastrous struggle, tbe good sense, and especially the adn arable moderation with which so na l and painful a subject is treated. It is assuredly im possible, after reading this book, to be deceived by the language of demagogues who conceal their eubversive passions under the cover of an absurd and lying phi lanthropy. The chapters which treat oi slavery are masterly, aud crush tbat revolting modern hypocrisy wnion is unfortunately the result cf the callous egotism of cur age and civilization. In my opinion, the strug gle between South and North is tbe natural and inev itable consequence of an error in the Constitution a noble error, out still an error. Tbe author settus to euppose that the sovereignty of the individual States could rauintain itself. But this supposition is disprov ed by tbe facts. It ia not intelligence which guides the masses ; it is passion which sways and oirccta them.

A satirical K nfnckian, wn'ing over tbe sfgna'ure f 4 L arta ' iu the New Yoik Express, urgfs the New England Governors to re-open tne Atrjcuo slavo trade, as rupplementary to the di m -st c branob of that traCio in which tr ey are now engaged. Why notT As well ?tnd to Africa as to Germany lor food lot powder and fferincs upoa the Altar ol Liberty.' A newro, and a foiitori an African negro, ie 'just as good to stop a rebel bullet as a whilst man.' ' Legree ' enforces his advice thus : 4 As Andrew, Buckingham At Oo. have confessedly entered into the domestic slave trade, they cannot heiU rate to agree to tbe re-opeuing cf the Af ican slave rade, as it is from here our future sapply of laborers must come. Oar present stack of negroes have becima oa muca civilised and christianised to be longer 'fnwj ers of wood and drawers of water' merely, and cannot compare with Gninea negroes as fl Id bands; tbe latter Dei 'g far more trao icabie and easily managed, beei ies having ft wer wants, a clout and a cjrn cake being un accustomed luxuries. Nor are arguments basrd oa Christianity and humanity wanting with which to re concile your correspondents to this scheme. By sta tistical returns there are found to be 400 000 members of evangelical churches amoog the slaves of tbe slave States, or more than are found among tbe equal white population of New Eogland. This ii tbe result of the teaching of masteis and mistresses of tbe South. A far better showing this than all tbe rri aiooaty (Sorts of all Christendom, from tbe preaching of tbe Apostle f hilip to tbe tunuch of Queen Cardarx, Qa?en of Ethiopia, down through tbe eighteen hundred years to the present time. The whole of Africa cannot show si many Christian converts as are to be found in this one county of Fayette among its negro population. Why, tbe Rev. D.. Robert J. Beckinridge, tbe temporary chairman of the Baltimore Republican Convention, owns a negro man whom he hirts to tbe Africm cburch at Lexieg'on for 250 per anoum, who preaches to more Chnsiiacised A ncans evtry undy than all tbe preachers from the Cape of Good Hope to tbe Straits lit Gibraltar. If such has beeu tbe result of former im portations of Africans, in tbe name of Grd does not every cnsideration of humanity call for the re opening cf a trade which bus been tuch a boundless blessing to multitudes of tne saole sous ol Africa ?' With a eharp appreciation of certain New England peculiarities. I gree itdds : ' Call it not a slave trade, but cail it rather m missionary m -vement.' BoUen Courier, Aug. 9th.
