A Novel Decision-Freed- j men's Bureau Law. Tl>e Mobile Tribune reports a novel decision of tlic 1 lcedmen's Court in that city, in the case of Nancy W illmn.s against Huckleberry Hunter* The woman was forced to marry the n.an against her own wishes; nevertheless, the |>ioceedirigs were comical: The facts of the case as drawn out in "course of the examination were about as fol'ows: Nancy swore out a warrant and had JTuckleberrv arrested, charging hm with the larcency of ?30 in currency and a 'dime in silver. The defendant pleaded guilty to taking the money, but offered .in explanation thereof the statement that lie and Nancy had lived together as man hind wife for four or five years, and that he had faithfully handed over to her the proceeds of his labor since he had been free. (Plaiutiff" here observed that "dat was the grceraent 'forel tuk yer," the truth of which the defendant admitted,) 'On Saturday night last the fickle Huckle*beriv concluded to try his luclc again ^among the sooty damsels of his acquaintance, aud accordingly called upon Nancy t *tn come to a settlement?to give him what money was in the house. Nancy Thinking that she was well rid of him at - v'any price, produced ?10 and told him, "dar yer money : now clar out;" but the avaricious Huckleberry thought that but a small return for his seven or eight month's labor, and forthwith snatched a t)10 s.OO 10 and in BI>Ul;iVlU? VVSIIVUIlllxg, ? - - continently bolted, hotly pursued, how'cver, by the irate Nancy. The loud yells of the injured Nancy soon attracted the attention of the police and the appropiative Huckleberry was speedily captured, and upon the depo-itiuu of Nancy, incarcerated in the calaboose to await examination upon charge of grand larceney. , As before stated, when the case was brought before the Mayor, he saw fit to forward the same to the Frcedmcn's 'Court, where the following decision was ' 'arrived at. That for living in adulterous infer" course both parties should be fined five 'dollars, and sentenced t'? be married to 'each otlier forthwith, tlic fines and ex-penses attewlent upon the marriage to be | taken out of the $30 '10 in dbpute. A (license was obtained and the pair taken ^ \bcfore Justiee 11. T. Stafr, where, despite the remonstrances of the "fair" Nancy that "dura dat old nigger Huckleberry, ^who yer tink gwine to bab him for litis ;ben," they were married. Good Advice From The j Right Quarter. "The New York Cuvimercia Advertiser .expresses warm disapproval of the undignified terms in which the radical press deal with the President's veto message. The (jommtrcial says: " Not satisfied with open charges of a disgraceful nature, they deal largely in k jnuendo, which yon cannot and dare not i^., 'back up by proof. There was no real * 'reason for any conflict between the Pressdent and the majority in Congress. If his arguments are weak, let them be answered. If be vetoes a law which he cannot approve, let them frame a law to which he will assent. But in no event, for the honor and credit of the country, mid f ?r their own self-respect, should they indulge in the coarse and unseemly vituperation which characterize them. This 'is a day when calm and dispassionate statemanship is required, and when the terrible events of war an- to be corrected. War is so utterly wicked that it leaves only evil in its trail, and it is far more difficult to find the way out of the incsh'es in which hostilities involve a State than it is to condui t the measures of a war policy. A few days of reflection has - - 1 4 1_ given time lor passion to cooi, anu me duty of the pri sent hour should suggest to the necessity of engaging heartily and honesty in the work of restoration. If party could be forgotten, there would be immediate hope. Must we forever haw the measures of legislation depending upon the necessities of mere party politics?'' Shocking Affair?Man Buried Alive. The Champaign (III.) Union says: A story has been floating about town for several days, which seems incredible, but it has come to us from so many sour ccs that we are liatdly permitted to doubt it, though we have not yet been able to lejirn full narticnlars. YVc ffive the story as it conies to tis, and leave our readers to take it with what grains of allowance tliey may. The tale runs that a returned soldier was found frozen in the grove near TJrbaua, and taken into a barn, where he lay several days before burial. Soon after his interment, while some men were engaged in digging a grave, they heard "strange sounds, which frightened them $hat they left the cemetery in haste under }thc imprssion that ghosts and goblins had taken possession of the city of the dead. Their wonderful story determined others to investigate the matter, and the .grave of the soldier was opened, when the ^Horrible discovery was made that be had been entombed alive, his body yet retaining some warmth, though the vita! spark ^fiad fted. The noises that had attracted ;A-';tention arc supposed to have been made by the victim in his desperate struggles to escape a fate too awful to contemplate The Cabinet.-t?It is now definitely ascertained that Messrs. Harlan, Stanton r -and Speed opposed the President's veto Message: while Messrs. McCullock, Welles and Seward have been in favor of it all nlong, and Mr. Dennison gave in bis adfliesion to the measure but a few days since. No resignation of members of the "'Cabinet have been sent in yet, nor is 'there any immediate probability of any.? Philadelphia Inquivr. Personal appearance of President Johnson. A "Washington correspondent thus sketches the appearance of Picsident Johnson as seen by him upon the dclive? ry of his great speech on the 22nd of February : "Mr. Johnson is a man of stalwart mould. Just above middle stature; he is so broad-shouldered, firm set. and deepchested, as almost to seem below it. lie has a large head. It is a compact home for his fiery will and brain. IJis face is marked; strong oval outline, long, powerful under-jaw, well defined but rather sharp chin; a wide, straight mouth ; full, flexible lips skin coarse in texture but firm; * * ??1% /lAiifcn complexion SWilllU^' , liuit wuiov; streaked with gray; a nose small at the root, but full and large at the nostrils, which expand and lift as he speaks; broad, roouiy forehead ; beetling bushy eyebrows, beneath which are a pair of the coldest hazel-gray eyes I cvi-r saw in human head :?these are the outlines of Andrew Johnson. His voice is clear, harsh, powfnl and penetrating. When he seems speaking with most excitement, he is evidently the coolest man in the woild." Ben.-Butler "Cut Dead-" Tlio "Washington correspondent of The New Orleans Picayune thus notices an incident that took place at the Bancroft oration on the Lincoln anniversary : "On the floor of the House were the Judges of the Supreme Court in their elegant and becoming black silk robes; the President of the United States and the Cabinet; tlie embassadors from foreign countries; all tlio distinguished officers of the army and navy, in their rich Uniforms; and the Senators and lteprcseutativcs. Gen. Butler sat directly behind Gen. Grant There were throe vacant armchairs besido him. Nobody would sit although every other chair on the floor of the Houso was occupied. Nobody wont near him or spoke to him. All other persons near him wore tho recipients of courtesies and civilities, lieverdy Johnson, Senator Harris of New York, Chief Justice Chase, and many more distinguished men, all grouped in that immediate viciuitv, paid their respects to each other and to General Grant and Admiral Shufcrick, but took not tho slightest nf him. It was -.the most com plctu cut I ever suw." Pollard, of the Richmond Examiner, in a recent,trip North, fays: ''We encounte.'ed Wind Beccher on a railroad train, in which he was on his way to Newburgh, there to deliver a lecture. A change seems to have come o\er the spirit of his dream In conversing with us, he avowed himself an accomph.-hcd pence man* Blood, enough, he thought, had now been spilt, and he was for mercy,"fox-giveness ana forbearance. He admitted that his former violent views had become modified, and he now cordially endorses the Union policy of the President lie alluded to the case of Mr Dvais, and t\pressed the Iiopc lhat he would be tried, if at all, by civil tribunal, and if convicted, pardoned, lie contended that the power of Mr. Davis was forever gone, and that no good could result from his exec us tion." Girard's Secret. Stephen Girard, than whom no shrew-. d?T bnisncss man ever lived, used to say in his old age: <lI have always considered advertising liberally and lung to be tbc great medium of success in Luisness, ir-rt flir. nrnlmln fn U'fllll And 1 hilVO f - - matlc it an. invariable rule, too, to advertise in the dullest times as well as the litis".est., lotto experience ltavintr taught me llint money thus spent is well laid out as by keeping tny buisness continnnlly be(ore the public it has secured nte litany sales that I would otherwise have lost." What Does itMkan.? We have information, direct and positive, that some Yankee speculators who were carrying a gang of negroes Wcsf(?) left all the women and childrpn in the streets of Atlanta, to starve, while they slipped off in a train, tip the State road, with the men; and that the poor creatures arc still there, or were a week after the scoundrels who had enticed them from their homes had departed. It is rumored that a party of the same character, who were a short time since, hiring ncgros to go West (?) did the Fame trick in Atlanta.

The veto afforded him the opportunity to march out with flying colors. But he 1 did not take it. He took pity on tho country and will remain until he is turned out. He won't die, though Don Piatt says that, to !his personal knowledge, death" sat at his office desk for several months, and he won't resign. His tenacity of life in office'is'"wonderful. His official longevity will equal that of the everlasting Taney, who persisted1 in. outliving Buchanan's administration.
