to read ;
Mi:.'iphis, October (i, lfli9.
At au investigation held this day, at tho
reijuest of MaMio Mayne, of Memphis,
Tcnn., the to'lowing questions and mi
swers were propouudtsj ami answend on
oat h t
1. ouostion How long have you as
sumed the name of Mattie MavneT
Answer -Seven years.
i(uestion - What was your lormer
name r
An -vver - Mattie Mierley, a slave of
ipt. Sherley, of Oldham county, Ky.
X ljueslioii- Where didyou become ac
quainted witiiMayiieT
Answer At idsinevilie, ill., seven
years ago. 1 was iu company with my
mistress, sue sherley, as a nurse; was
fourteen years old at the time. Mayne
was at Boonovillew ith a squad ol soldiers,
aging up a company. Alter making
his acquaintance for three weeks, ho se
duced me by promiseof marriage. 1 came
home to Kentucky with my mistress, re
mained about one month, ami Mayne
sent me monev to eoino to him at H.sme-
ville. 111. i went to him there, and
accompanied him to several places,
liually to Chicago. Waa recognized
aa ins wne wherever we weiii.
i'hen he went to Indiauapolis and wrote
to me to come to him; was there recover-
ng from an attack Of afnail-nox ; was af
terwards wounded and discharged; weut
to Vicksburg and joined a colored regi
ment. 1 had a Imv child by Mavue, who,
if living, is four years old; have had two
other cuildren by him, lioth dead. Mayne
took my child two years ago, and sent
him to his relatives ill Chicago to have
him raised, so that he would not it wg-
nize his mother. I saw Ins brother in
Cllliisnii when i left there for Louisville
staved a short time there with IUV
mother; went to Memphis; from Mem
nhis to Vicksburg; found my husband
commanding a company of colored troops
(as he saidi in Vicksburg. He had anoth
er woman (Kllai, when I arrived. He
sent Ella away; I have not seen hersince;
remained there about six weeks; became
siek and left; wont up the river, Mayne
furnishing money. While iu Vicksburg
he waa recognized aa Major of colored
troops. Mavue was mustered out of ser
vice, at Memphis ; afterwards went
to Crittenden county, Arkan
sas. Wilson, Haynes and Mayne
rented the plantation of Mrs. Cox, and
hired a large number of hands on said
place. I accompanied Mayne to the Cox
Place, and remained with him there as his
wife lor alxiut two years, having servants
and everything at my command; lived at
Kiiiia' place one year afterwards. Mayne
rented a bouse in Memphis for Jue to live
in: came every week lo see me, when I
did no; go to see him iu Arkansas. Mayne
paid Ihe rent regularly of the house I
lived iu at Memphis. Kept a bntcher
lion. the Isef bem:; sent from Marion,
Ark., by Haynes. After that. Mavue
went to Mat .oil. and he and Haynes were
officers iu Clayton's mililia. My under
standing while in Marion was, that the
I Hie were taken from the people with
out payment, and sent to Mayne iu Mem
phis to be disposed of. While Mayne was
keepiug a butcher-shop in Memphis, 1
lived with him in same bouse; eat at the
same table, ami lived with him as bis wife.
I have a pair of silver cuff buttons, which
I have on, wilh the initials " K. M." that
he gave me. He was always called Eel.
..is, Mayne, joined (;bn ion s miliun,
I bad a falling out with him. I found
him iu bed wilh Josy, a colored
woman. I afterwards went to Mad
ame Luvejov s bouse and took him
out of feed with Molly Johnson (white;
.... : , in ied him hoim . 1 told him that 1
could not live with him any longer with
out he would retrain from such conduct
He promised me thai lie would prov
true; that h loved me better than any
one living; thai he only worked for money
tor the use of his "dear little yellow
girl; "that he wanted me as bis wife In
preference lo any other woman. Refort
he left Memphis for Corinth, to marry
woman there, he gave me jz, and told
u.e that he loved mo better than any
other: that lc would compromise every
thing to my satisfaction. Alter he mar
rieil the woman we had an interview. He
then told me ho lor dd me better than he
did his w hite w iic. and still would mak
all things to my sat i faction, but up to this
time he has not done so. I naut io see
him for tin- following reasons: 1 have
h-.tr I that M it. Mav lie was appointed t
the honorable position of riherifl of La
fayette count v. Miss., and I wish to learn
from him the whereabouts of mv child
which 1 heard was in Chicago. 1 w anted
the old citizens, regardless of color, to
hear mv statement ot the same.
I say" to von, citizens, both blaek and
white, that ! atuwilliug to :.;akeoath lie
lore you and . 'highly i.od that all Ihe
l'orejoiiig statements are substantially
true. MATTli: MAYNK

Devil said when he Sheared

The nieetingtfonhe Board of Aldermen
are chronic failures. Evening after even
ing for tiie past four or live days tbev
have been endeavoring to make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear, but (as is need
less to say) have not effected their pur
pose. Tiiere has been no quorum, ami Mr.
Fremont's f riends are mad.
They will slay so.
That is, until next Tuesday evening,
when there will be a full Board, and firmr

Kililur Ajipeal: I see in a recent num
ber of the Api kai an extract from a
pamphlet on the " Mississippi itiver," by
Capt. Erricson, of New Y'ork, wuich,
like many other essays on that subject
from men who never saw the great river,
is no doubt very scientific; but, like tho
report he refers to, is of very little prac
tical ose to the people in the valley who
are overflowed every year. It matters
but little lo them how many cubic feet of
mud or gallons of water flows by them or
w here it may go to, so long as they are
annually inundated. What they want to
know is bow io prevent il, ami as at! these
hcieniiiic calculations avail nothing, nor
never wiil be of any benefit, they want
something that is "practical, something
that will relieve them from these annual
floods. In other words, all who know
anything alsmt the Mississippi river,
know it is a practical and not a scientific
problem, aud iu that light I propose to
deal w uh it.
In the flrst. place, it may le proper to
not ice a few ot the most palpatio and
dangerous fabrications these writers are
attempting to fasteu on the country, not
fiom practical facts, but from the u.ime
of official authority they keep before
the count rv to bolster up their lallactes
and 1 mean no other than the report of
Capt. Humphries, so often quoted and
pulled up as authority ley men in conven
tions, who are ignorant of the tacts per
laming to the Mississippi river. As an ev
idence of this, we have only to refer to the
reports, page-IH-t, ot the proceedings ol
the commercial i onvemio.i held in this
city last May. In recommending ttiat
miserable levee system as being " safe aud
reliable, when at the same time every
person who has any practical knotvledg'
of the Missi-sippi river not only knows
that there never was any reliance iicthe
levees as a permanent barrier against the
water, but that it has filled up half the
island chutes, tilled up the bottom of tin
river and raised Ihe water several feet
higher in the river in fact, made low
lands where they were once high, ruined
the country, bankrupted first the individ
ual PHKaple and secondly tiie river coun
lies to keep them above the water, then
taxed the States until beyond their con
trol. And, with all these" beta, they are
now asking tiie Federal Government i.
shoulder their pel scheme. Not sati.-lied
with that, the report adopts Capt. Hum
phries' own language, which says: "It
has been demonstrated that no advan
tages can be obtained eiiher by diverting
tributaries or constructing reservoirs, and
that the plan of cut-offs, and of new and
enlarged outlets to ihe Gulf, are too cosi
ly and too dangerous to lie sttemped."
"Now there is not one word ol truth in
all this, and I defy Mr. Humphries or any
one else lo show wiiero there has ever
been even an attempt to do anything of
the kind. The very reverse has been the
practice in building levies, stopping up
natural and many powerful outlets, rais
ing the water in the river, then breaking
and not only washing away the levees,
but valuable plantations- yes, in one
night, sweeping away the bluest toil of
years. There was ihe danger. Any ollnqa
danger ana demonstrations never exmeu,
except iu the liilhds ot these brainless.
would-be seieiititifs.
The reporfcloses wilh one truth, which
is indeed refreshing. Iisavs: "Ttielcveo
system will be expensive, and will require
more unity of action than has yet been
obtaiued.''
Yes, in the first place, to get unity of
action, people must tirst see ssime good lo
be aecoiiKjilislicd, which iii-y never will
see in the levee system ; and in the see I
place, did they nee ever so much, there
never was nor never will be enough pros
perity iu tier Mississippi Valley to pay
tor levec-s sufficiently mgh lo bold the
water of the river within its banks,
lor were they built one hundred feet high
and with sufficient base to with.-tand the
purpose, they would prove as inadequate,
as heretofore uud increasing the danger
already referred to, for during high water
the river is liliy utiles wide, with au
average depth of ten feet; I menn the
oversowed or bottom lauds, between the
biulls on both sides ol the river. This
volume of water, fifty miles wide and ten
fee! deep, pent up betwn n levees or Bit l -
ficial banks one itiile wide, wiJI only give
these scientnics a river Af) ten nigh, pro
vnled the current in tbeswatups waa its
rapid as in the main river, llui it is not
over one-fifth, or say- oue mile an hour;
but when fenced in wt uld all now at th
rate of sav five inibs an hour, which
would reduce the volume from rive hun
dred Ui ('lie huudied feet more waUir
than we row have. Then. Memphis
Vicksburg and XaU-hez will become low
land, i'hen, what will b come of the
bottom lands, one hundred toot under
water? These are tiie practical results of
a system these seieutillcs are urging
Congress to adopt, as no one else has the
louse phauge te spare lor so small au uu
deriakiug an building a couple of potatal
ridges, each a tuouiJiid (piles long aud
hundred feet high, all ii.r tho benefit of
few contractors, and to feed and keep frotn
honest work a few lazy fellows styling
themselves Engineers.

will no doubt prove a source ot much an
noyance to competing lines,
itn learn that a project is on foot to cut
Memphis out of the "iiuwl of all the cot

bare already bitted that section and pur
chased over 1 ".."mi bales, which they in
tend to ship through or by this city. Tiie
plan is nearly this: A line of Ixiata lias

the lialtimore and Ohio Kailroad. The

yet named to run hence 10 the Arkansaa

however, to secure them.

rapid current harmlessly past, it is high

A thorough survey of the bed of the river
mmediatel v opposite the city, and of tne
channel for a considerable distance ahovi
must Is' obtained before any reliable r
edv cm Iw devised. 1 he verv direct ac
tion of the current against this side must
is' changed, and in doing so great caution
will be necessary in order that it may not
is' cuanged too much, wherbov the land
inu may be injured by the formation of
sand-bars, or tilling up. It is a well
known fact that the banks of the Missis
sippi river throughout this section are uh
derlaid by statu of nearly pure sand
wbieh are sometimes several feet in thick
ness; this sand is easily acted upon bythe
current ana tne naiiKS undermined. Du
ring high water tbe banks are iu a meas

must insure Ihe protection of this sand
from the action of tbe water, and the
thod, cost, etc., can only be arrived at
alter a thorough scientific survey has
been made, lo protect the levee without
changing the current ut the stream is 1111
possible, and to change the current with
