May 13, 1866
Among those who participated in the Confederate movement, as active and conspicious, was Gen. Washington Barrow. In 1861-62, he represented many of the largest interests of the State, and upon the fall of the city, exchanged the comforts of a noble homestead for the privations of a prison with the heroism of a gentleman and a brave man. Subsequently, on his release, he bore himself so modestly as to win the respect and regard of his worst enemies. He presents as striking an illustration of the good example by the Southern leaders in Tennessee as we can recall, and with Governor Neil S. Brown, Mr. Bell, Judge Carothers, Judge Cooper, Hon. A. S. Colyar and other citizens of Nashville, deserves to have the thanks instead of the execration of those who pretend to desire the restoration of the Union. His friends everywhere will be glad to learn that he has returned from Louisiana much improved in health and that he gives every indication of continued strength and long life. (He died on October 24, 1866 and is buried in the City Cemetery.)

June 5, 1866
The City: Suicide: A mania for committing suicide appears to have recently broken out in our midst. Since Saturday morning two persons have already, by their own hands, terminated their mortal existance and two other persons made a determined but happily unsuccessful effort in the same direction. On Saturday a Mrs. Lesure who lives near Buena Vista Ferry and who had been unwell for some time past, committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. Her husband was asleep at the time, having become wearied from constant watching at her bedside.
