McGehee, president of the convention, for the impartial and dignified manner in which he had discharged the duties of the position. The convention also adopted resolutions expressing their approval and high appreciation of the acts of Major-General Chase, as the same had been communicated by Colonels Holland and Gee, aides to the governor, and thanks were tendered to these officers, to the troops, and to Governor Moore for his promptness and patriotism.

Marriage Extraordinary. --The ladies of Lovelaceville, Ky., presented a flag to one of the Kentucky companies who were on the eve of starting for a camp in the vicinity of our city. Immediately after the speeches were delivered, the Lieut, Mr. C. H Mershew, who received the flag in behalf of his company, was married to Miss Mollie E. Kimmel, by the Rev. Mr. Holland, in the presence of the large crowd assembled on the doubly interesting occasion. Doubtless the gallant Lieutenant was prepared to march double-quick without showing fatigue. May the God of battles defend and blem the soldier and his chosen bride.--Clarksville Chronicle, July 12.

A brave woman. --We learn that when the Slote was captured, and the men from the Mohawk went to take down the Confederate flag, Mrs. Col. D. P. Holland rushing to and seizing it, wrapped it around her and dared them to touch it, protesting that she herself would die before it should be furied. Having presence of mind to burn the sloop's papers, when Mrs H. was asked for them she pointed to the stove. An she passed Fort William with the flag given to the breeze, a salute of one gun was fired. Long may she live to see the people of the South enjoy all the blessings of civil and religious liberty, under the ample folds of the Stars and Bars.--Tallahassee News, July 8.

ape of Capt. John E. Edward's from the clutches of Lincoln's minions: Capt. John E. Edwards, of the George B. Sloat, who, it will be recollected, was captured by the Federal war steamer Mohawk, reached our town the day before yesterday, on his way to his home in the city of Apalachicola. His family are now aware of his escape from Yankee clutches, but he will not be the less warmly welcomed that his coming is unexpected. Our readers will also remember the gallant conduct of Mrs. D. P. Holland, at the time of the capture of the Sloat, who furled her body in the Confederate flag, and defied the minions of Lincoln. Capt. Edwards states that after the release and departure of his lady, the officers and crew of the Mohawk spoke of her in the most insulting and disgusting manner, using language to make a decent man's blood boil, though he being powerless, it would have been vain to have given vent to his indignation. The Captain further says, after his capture, he was nearl
