On Saturday evening last, mar Villa Rica, in Carroll county, Jos. Bundran and his son in-law, Henry S. Reid, had a difficulty about some business affair.

Her father, a haugh ty chieftain, objected to the alliance, and she, true to the instinct which has given rise to the adage among her pale-faced sisters, that ••when a woman wills, she will, and when she won't, she won't,” determined to elope with her dusky lover. She was discovered, pur sued through the forests and over hills, till at length, wearied and despairing, she paus ed on this cliff, and with the footsteps of her pureurers close at her tracks, she gave a last look upon the “Father of Waters,” along whose banks she had so often watched the light foot-fall of the fleet deer, or drew from its bosom the finny treasures, and then, with a wail of sorrow, threw herself from tbe rocky cliff, and the blue waves murmured a requim over her watery gtavo. And this was the “ Lover’s Leap.” SI NBRIES. Extra family flour CHOICE SUGAR CURED CANVASSED Hams, PRIME LEAF LARD (in kegs,) tor sale tow by WM. W. DANIELS. - , - .

J BY TELEGRAPH ) FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.” St. Lovis, Mo., Sept. 25.—The “Democrat ” says Gen. Seigel did not attack Gen. Price while he was besieging Mulligan at Lexington. He was at St. Louis. Only 2,200 Confederates were engaged in the battle,against 30,000 Federals- -10,000 of whom were out on a marauding expedition. The Federals were so exhausted that they were unable to make any resistance, and were com pelled to surrender. Washingtom, Sept. 27.—The following is Fre mont’s Dispatch to the War Department:— “Lexington has fallen into Price’s bands— he having cut off the supply of water. The Federal reinforcement of 14,000 men, which I had sent, had no incans of crossing the river in time. lam taking the field, and hope to decoy the enemy before, or after, their junc tion with McCullough's forces.” A dispatch from Jefferson City, says that Gov. Claib Jackson was advancing on Boonville with 10,000 men, and that Price was marching to-’, wards Georgetown with 20,000 men. The Lex ington army was divided for that purpose. The steamer Clara Bell has been retaken by the Confederates, with 830,000 Worth of mer chandize. Gen. Prices’ forces will doubtless, be advan ced to 30,000 or 40,000 men in a lew days. There is nothing later of interest from Lex ington. The Secretary of War forbids the drafting of troops. He says that he will rely upon the pop ular love for the flag and the Union for troops. New York, Sept. 26.—General Fremont has made a requisition for $500,000, immediately, for the purchase of military stores. Gen. Rip ley replies denying Fremont’s authority to make purchases. Further accounts show that excessive prices have been paid on purchases and no inspection made of the goods purchas ed. Ripley says finally, that unless Fremont’s purchases are regulated and restricted, the whole of the present appropriations of Con gress will be insufficient to meet his liabilities. Clarkesville, Montgomery Co , Tenn., Sept. 30.—0 n yesterday, Judge Monroe and his son, and McKee and Haldeman, late of the “ Cou rier,” arrived here, refugees from Louisville.— Breckinridge, Clay, Preston and other distin guished Kentuckians also escaped. Jack Allen has joined Gen. Buckner with 300 men; also Humphrey Marshall, with .800 men. Gen. A. S. Johnston’s army was moving up thariver from Columbus. New Orleans, Oct. I.—The Federal prison ers from Richmond have arrived here. They were escorted to the Parish prison by several companies of the citizen soldiery. All of New Orleans appeared to be out to boo them. Nashville, Sept. 30.—Passengers by to day’s train report that Gen. Buckner took the Union camp in Owen county on Saturday,cap turing 460 stand of arms, and camp equipage. The Unionists ran, and some Indiana troops swam the river, in order to make good tbeir escape. Gen. Buckner is reported to have gone to Hopkinsville, Christian county, to disperse a Union camp. Smithland (in Livingston county, on the Ohio, at the mouth of the Cumberland) was occupied by federalists on the 24th Sept. The Louisville “Democrat” of the 27th says that Breckinridge, Geo. B. Hodges are 56 miles above Richmond in Madison county Ky., with 2800 men, drilling. Ex-Governor Morehead, Col. R. T. Durrett, and W. W. Barr, Esq , have been landed in Fort LaFayette. (Mr. Barr .was the Southern Agent of the Associated Press in Louisville.) Hon. James B. Clay and W. G. Overton, of the Louisville Courier, have escaped. J. B. Monroe, U. S. District Judge, and J. B. Monroe, Jr., Secretary of State of Kentucky, both resigned, and arrived here yesterday, having escaped. They report Gen. Zollicoffer captured nearly 1,000 stand of arms a few days ago, which were intended for the Union men. The Louisville Democrat of the 2711a says there is a bridge of barges bver tho Ohio to Paducah, completed. The boats and barges used were sent from Cincinnati two weeks ago. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 25.—Gen. Prentiss ar rived here Monday evening, and assumed com mand yesterday. Nashville, Oct. I.—The Bowling Green cor respondent of -he Union A American of the 30th says, that Gen. Buckner is advancing on towards the Ohio, driving the “ Home Guards” before him. It is thought he will reach Owensburg on Monday night. The same correspondent says the advance guard of the army at Bowling Green moved lor want on Monday 10miles beyond Green River. Gen. Rousseau is reported to be retreating. A report from Bowling Green to-day says the Hessians had burnt Hawesville and Cloverport on the Ohio River. W. N.
