During the year 1858, George WELLS and Charles GORMAN, two soldiers of the
Revolutionary War, died in this state. The Secretary of the Interior, in his
annual report, says there are yet two hundred of the patriots of the Revolution
living and receiving their pensions. The Secretary further says that fifty-three
years after the war five thousand widows of Revolutionary soldiers, whose
marriages took place prior to the declaration of peace in 1783, were living, and
that nearly one hundred of them still survive.

G. A. MORRIS and J. F. GRAY broke out of jail at Lawrenceburg on the 12th. The

this place; and Gray had been arrested and imprisoned for horse stealing." more

The Lawrencebury Journal of the 15th says: "Mr. John MCCLURE, a citizen of this
county came to this place on Friday the 7th inst., and during the day drank very
freely, which practice he had indulged for many years. Aside from this
unfortunate failing, we believe he was a good and peaceable citizen-at least we
know nothing to the contrary." Paraphrasing…too intoxicated to return home, he
slept on the courthouse floor…night was excessively cold, he was found the next
morning nearly frozen, entirely insensible, every effort made to restore him, he
expired on the following Sunday morning.

A Tilt in the Senate. A very spicy altercation took place in the Senate on
Thursday and Friday last between Messrs. IVERSON of Georgia, and HOUSTON of
Texas. The latter made a speech pandering somewhat to Northern prejudices and
denouncing the States right politicians of the South as disunionists. 

Mr. Iverson replied in a tone of severity on Mr. Houston saying that he
(Iverson) never heard a Union speech from a Southern man without a suspicion
that it related to the Presidency…more…

Mr. Houston proceeded to reply…He had voted for the admission of California and
against the Nebraska bill and he had done so on principle. He denied that he had
been influenced by presidential aspirations, for the presidency was the last
thing in the world that he would accept...He had nobler duties to perform and
having served his fellow citizens in public life for about forty-five years, he
thought he ought to be permitted to retire to private life and seek a home for
his family and a last resting place for himself, with constitution not much
impaired, and with clean hands and a clear conscience.

Mr. H. concluded by alluding to Mr. Iverson's attack upon him yesterday as
reminding him of the old fable…(paraphrasing…the jawbone of an ass.) Mr. H.
would not name the animal but it was the same one from which Samson took the
jawbone!  [Great laughter, both on the floor of the Senate and in the galleries.]

Mr. Iverson expressed regret that he should yesterday have been betrayed into
saying anything calculated to wound the sensibilities of the senator from Texas,
with whom he had always been on terms of personal friendship.
