Suo Mundy.
AN EVENTFUL HISTORY THE CAREER OS
A FEMALE GUERILLA.
Nearly every pleasant day pedestrians
011 our principal avenue pass a durk-eyed
brunette, of medium size, a plump figure
and richly dressed. In the early Spring
of 1801 Sue Kiterago, a lovely girl, jusl
returned iroill bnunlinir nrlmnl liuoit ii...?n
0 U|/VU
licr lather's plantation in one of the rural
districts oi Kentucky that hung in a balance,
uncertain whether to risk its fate
with the new "Confederacy" or hang buck,
Sue was 17, a frequent visitor at the adjoining
plantation of Mr. Mundy, an old
gentleman whose wife and son, a young
man, composed a happy family.
One day a company of Union cavalry
rode down upon the place, plundered the
premises, carried oil the valuables, burned
the residence, and finally slaughtered the
pircnts, who were defending their own
fireside, laying waste the country in their
truck, und leaving young Mundy and Sue
orphans indeed. Young Mundy was at last
aroused, and while being carried off a
prisoner no word escaped his lips but "Sue."
When asked his name he repeated "Sue,"
probably the effects oi a disordered bruin,
tiis linen being examined, the indelible
name of "Mundy'' was found, and ever
alter lie wus known as "Sue Mundy," the
constant terror of Union citizens a..d soldiers
in that section.
enter being icleased on parole, he immedately
returned and interred the charred
remains of his own parents, as well us
lie body of M. lv. Taking a solemn and
tearful oath ol vcngancc, and uccoiiinu.iicd
by Sue, who was now without home
?r lricuds in this wild world, he started
tor a neighboring camp of bushwhackers
>r guerillas, where he was received with
ipcu a miand was soon promoted to
.lie office of commander of the force, while
^iic, disguised and passing by the name of
Kit"?.11 abbreviation ol Kitcrage?prov
ed invaluable as a spy, a fearless rider,
and of uudoubted bravery. Kit, alter
serving nearly two years as a spy and gen
cral planner lor tbe band, found her health
lulling. Disguised and armed with the
Highest testimonials, she succeeded in procuring
a p sitiou on the staff of Gen. Clcourno,
the hardest tigiitmg Irishman in the
rebel army.
This position she held, doinsr her duty
ike a man, until the battle of Franklin,
July 12, I8b4, in which l'at Cleburne
was killed. Returning to her youthful lie
ro and liis band, she again reveled in the
carnival of blood, ami though her evil
spirit was weak, and Kit was again trans*
lerrod to duty at Andcrsonville. Frisoncrs
who have shared hospitably of that
celebrated camp will perhaps remember a
diort, stout, muscular young lieutenant,
with flashing black eyes, a lace smooth as
i maiden's, and eruel us though u fiend
incarnate lurked within.?This was Sue
rwucrugc, me amiable young boarding
-eltool Miss, tlie cheerful cotnp nion, tlie
jiico wealthy heiress, the beautiful maiden
md firm friend ot young Muudy, whose life
o her was dearer than her own. Sue MunJy
and a part of his band were captured and
ried by a court martial Kit was present
luring the whoe trial, and used her great
influence, but of no avail. Sue Mundy
-vas convicted and hurg, at Louisville,
rvy., in March, 1805. The flowing hair
>till hung about his shoulders, and when
lis youthful corpse was taken down and
away in his narrow bed, tin bleeding
md broken heart ot Sue Kitcrage was
juried with it; and now, a wanderer on
he lace of the earth, homeless and friend*
ess, she lives without hope of mercy, tor
rnkcii and dishonored, and cast away.

The principle which Senator Itoss Bays
jrrant enunciated, when lie declared that
Holding office under President Johnson
lightccn months a sufficient cause for
'Cinovul, must apply to J Kramer, who is
married to (irunt's si-ter, Mary, and who
pras appointed by Johnson us Consul at
Leipsic, in 1807, which position he now
Holds ; and also tc Grant's father, whom
Johnson appointed postmaster at Covingion,
Kentucky. Why aro they not ulao

Hypocrisy.?We learn from the New
Vork Tribune that "forty freed men's
schools have been closed in Maryland, helauso
the teachers could no' tind homes
with white people." Well, believing in
uegroe equality, why did the matins put
so fine a point upon lodging with white
Folks? asks the A gusta Congtituliona/ist.

Down 'neath a weeping willow,
Ilia comrades worked away,

First to shout tho victory,
And first to fall that day.
But, now the grave is finished,

how travel is t? re conducted.
In expectation of tlie junction of the two
roads, the Central and the Union Pacific,
both companies have uaJc ample preparations
to accommodate trade and the traveling
public. The first thing upon which
they had to agree was, of course, the rata
of passago Iroui ocean to ocean. The resectivc
officers of the tompanies were in
I....: ' "
vu.i5una.iun ycsteruay, and they came to
a temporary understanding that the tare
from New York to San Francisco for emigrants
and second class passengers should
be ?75, and for iirst class passengers 8175.
In regard to the charge to for through
height nothing deiinitc has been arranged,
but a tariff will bo determined on in a lew
days. It is expected that the trip from
shore to shore cau be made in between six
and seven days. For the present the time
of running w.ll be rather slower, as the
track is newar.d wants ballasting and "surfacing"
After tLat, when Irotu running
tiairs the piopu firmness is gained, the
time will be sotlewhat inside of six days.
So that a pcrsoa leaving New York on
Monday morning may spend his next Sunday
in sight of the Golden Gate of the
Pacific. The Unitn Company, as well us
the Central, have over 2,0U0 freight cars
in readiness to traisport whatever of merchandise
may offtr, and while the first
has over 15U locomotives, the latter counts
11)0, all in good working order. Thcv
were all made in lie Ea Icrn States, excepting
two, whiih were constructed at
San Francisco. The Central burns wood
only in their engines. The Union was
fortunate enough o find heavy and extcn
sive beds 011 the f>overi.ment lands donated
along the line, suifieient to yield them
fuel tor centuries to come, and they had
their locomotives constructed to burn coal
and they mine thcmatciial themselves.
On passenger trians everything will be
provided that the wants of man may suggest.
Sleeping errs, drawing room cars
lor ladies, saloon cars for gentlemen, rcstauiant
cars, with kitch- ns on wheels, in
iact, everything that a c!uss hotel in
a city can offer, will there he found in 'he
comparatively small limit of a railway
train. And it has been suggested?and
tho suggestion is not a bad one?that to
each train there should be added a orint
ing car, where, every morning and evening,
the news Irom the Kast a id the West
may be gathered at the telegraph stations,
put in type and printed in sheets, so that
the traveling passengers, dm ing the several
da , s route, may have the reualar morn
ing papers as well as their meals.
No name has yet been fixed upon for
the place where the two roads connect
Union City, Junotion City aid oth< t
names have been proposed; bnt nor^of
them is as yet approved, though it is probi
able that before many days the name of
| the "great city" yet to spring into life,

A Singular Suicide.
The suicidal mania lately so prealent,
last venin;? claimed another victim in the
person ol John J. Miller, u native of the
United States, 51 years of u?e, who for
the past two years has resided and curried
on his busincs as a hutter, in the basement
of No. 231 Amity street The dctuls of

Cast a Line for Yourself.?A young
i man stood listless watc ing sonic anglers ou
j a bridge. He was poor and dej ce l. At
last, approaching a packet tilled with
wholesome looking fish he sighed :
"If now I had these I would be happy,
' I could sell them at a luir price, and buy
I me food and .odgings."
| "I will give you just as many and just
as good fish," s. id the owner, who chanI
ct>d to overhear his words, il you will do
me a trilling favor."
"And what is that?" asked thecother
eagerly.
"Only to tcnJ to this line till J, come
Iback, I wish to go on a short errand."
The proposal was gladly ac .opted. Tho
old man was gone o Ion/that the young
man began to be impatient. Meanwhile,
the hungry fi?h snapped greedily at tho
bailed lionk, and the young tiiuu losi all
his depression in the excitement of pulling
them in ; Mid, when the owner of the line
returned he had caught a large number.
| Counting out Ironi them as many as wete

man, (he old tiahermun said :
