At Le Grand, Michigan, three
years ago, the wife of Rev. John
F. Weatherell Ot a divorce,
and during the same week mar
ried a man named Buell, pub
licly stating she was marrying
him to reform him from his bad
liquor habits, which however
she failed to do. He died a
Mv days ago, and she says she
will preach his funeral. Re
venge ! How sweet.
We see that that ex Kansas
Colonel, Mr. Al. Fairbrother,
is again in the Old North State
and is probably writing up its
towns. This is the first we
have heard of the Colonel for
some time, the last being that
was in jail up in Pennsylvania.
Wonder how he got out.
If the Democrats are wise
they will not open their mouths
too wide on the silver question
but wait for the action of their
National convention and abide
by it. Silver may be a dead is

agitators will be out of a job.

PART IV.
Finding that Wotford's meu were
coining out, I retained them at that
point to check any attempt of the
enemy to tollow them. It was
now near nightfall and the opera
tions of the day were over. That
night we occupied the ground over
which we had fought, with my left
at the peach orchard on the hill,
and gathered the dead and wound
ed. It was a melancholy task, for
they were very numerous. A long
list of brave aud efficient officers
and men had sealed their devotion
to the cause they held so dear with
their hearts' blood. Capt. Cun
ningham's company, of the 2d regi
ment, was reported to have gone
into action with forty men, of whom
but lour remained unhurt to bury
their gallant captam and fallen
comrades. My losses exceeded six
hundred men killed and wounded,
about one-half the force engaged.
A glance at the maps edited by
Mr liacholder, showing the posi
tions occupied by the troops on the
2d of July, will reveal the remarka
ble fact that the stony hill and wood
occupied by this brigade aud part
ot JScmmed'o was assailed or deleud
ed by the Federal brigades of De
Trobnaud, Sweitzer, Til ton and
Brookjj, portions of the divi
sions of Birney, Barues, Cald
well aud 6ykes, and oi the 2d,
3d, 5h and tith corps. Nowhere
have I found a.iy more forcible evi
dence of the nature aud magnitude
of this struggle by McLawa's and
Hood's divisions than is contained
in Gen Meade's report, lie Says:
