are his equal in mus power. He has a dark complexion, black hair, and thin black beard. He has a full and expansive forehead, black, piercing eyes, deep set, heavy black eyebrows, and a stern but not unpleasant face. Firmness and courage are stamped in every lineament of his features, which are greatly set off by the most perfect and beautiful set of teeth we ever saw. He is a native of Tennessee. His father was a Kentuckian, and the son of an emigrant from Holland, who accompanied Dan'l Boone to the wilderness of Kentucky in ancient days.--Bedford was brought up on a farm, and is familiar with the use of the axe, the knife, and the rifle. He first commenced horse trading on a small scale.--Then he got hold of a fast quarter nag, and in one year made $4,000 out of a trip through Mississippi and Louisiana. Stopping at Hernando, Miss., at the summer races, he won a good pile of currency, and finally, at the close of the week, took a deed to the landlord's premises, and opened up a

A smart woman. The Chattanooga Rebel says that Col. Boone, of Kentucky, was in command of the Federal forces at Gallatin when Col. Jack Morgan made his morning call last week, and had not shaken off the doorway god at the time of the demand for the surrender of his forces.

The following is the copy of the message sent, with Smith's reply, taken from the Nashville Union, of the 13th inst., [by Telegraph from Gallatin.] Gallatin, Tenn., Aug. 12. John Hugh Smith, Mayor: I have not heard from you since you were defeated for Lieutenant in Rice's company, Confederate service. I am now watching the destruction of all of Uncle Sam's property. We captured Col. Boone and his whole command this morning. The Colonel is a clever man, but not very particular in choosing his company. As an old friend, I advise you and Andy to leave the city, or you will be compelled to take up quarters in Tuscaloosa. Respectfully, yours, J. R. McCann, Captain of Cheatham Rifles.

Surely it is not necessary to appeal to the people of these counties to rally to the standard raised by their own State for their own defence. Surely Virginians will prefer a draft made under the Constitution and laws of Virginia to one made by that detestable tyranny now characterizing the Government of the United States.

Morgan told him that he would be at Gallatin on Staurday or Sunday, the 9th or 10th of this month. Before reaching London, on the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, he heard that Gallatin was taken by the rebels on Sunday, and felt sure it was done by Morgan. The Doctor says Morgan had only 300 men with him, and that Col. Boone with a regiment was at Gallatin; but he gave it to Morgan as his opinion that Boone's men were so much dissatisfied at the Abolition features the war has lately assumed, and on that account so much demoralized, that his force could be easily overcome by them. Morgan coincided in this view, and said he was bound to accomplish the work. We have no doubt he did it effectually on Sunday the 10th inst. The doctor learned that it was Morgan's men who had arrested the Union hotel keeper, an
