LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
New Store—Fresh Goods.
Brassill & Cos. present in this issue a partial
catalogue of the good things they have to deal
out to their friends. We have taken a look
at them, and are of the opinion they are right

Good luck to them!
• The Bella Union.
The card of this popular House will be found
in another column. It is a neat and well con

We wish it distinctly understood that all

We make this remark, not that we caro for,
or fear the contortions or maledictions of those
“ galled jades.” We shall speak when we
like, as it may be our duty, regardless of con
sequences. The “ quill drivers” of the “Hun”

Messrs. William Maliafl’ey and James M.
Hughes, American candidates for Marshal,

Eidred’s Circus and Menagerie,
This Circus nud Mcnagcrio is advertised to

Sam Cong, tho Clown, he is a long- ways ahead
of nil competitors in the field of fun. We ex

City Light Guards—Sharp Shooting.
On Saturday last, Capt. P. H. Colquitt wifi
his sprightly corps were out in full feather
and high spirits for target practice.
The first prize, a Silver Goblet, was won by
Private W. W. Grant—average of his three
shots, two and seven-eights of an inch.
Second prize—medal and plume—was wou
by Se’rgt. J. M. Brooks—average shot, threo
and one-eight .of an inch.
As this shooting was done with the old fash
ioned flint and steel muskets—wo are compell
ed to record it as au instance of remarkablo
sharp-shooting. An enemy would stand a poor
chance for his vital spark, before suoh unerr
ing marksmeu as the Light Guards. Long
may they exist!
Daily Mail to Chunnenuggee.
Our old friend, A. Ilaygood, Esq., under
date of 13th instant, informs us that a daily

Alabama. The post offices of Colbert, Elton,
Enon and Hardaway, on the route, will recoivo
daily mails ; and in a short time Union Spriugs
will be likewise supplied.
The line is furnished with good coaches.
Messrs. A. Ilay-good and It. 11. and J. L.
Powell are doing this without additional remu
neration, and deserve great credit for this tan

however, that tho Tost Master General will

A TRIANGULAR BRIDE.
“Truth Stranger than Fiction.”
From the Cincinnati Times.
Wo liavo recently become acquainted with
the facts of one of the most extraordinary
dramas in social life of which wo havo know
lodge. The material, which will gradually un
fold itself in the following narrative, combin
ed with the requisite machinery and interwov
en with the fictitious characters necessary to
the artistic development of the plot, would
complete a profoundly interesting, if not an
absolute thrilling, romance. Our sketch,
however, is an unfinished daguerrotype of
facts which recently transpired in one of the
most attractive inland cities of the “dark and
bloody ground,” and situated not a hundred
miles from “la Bello lliviere.” We snbmit
the skeleton, leaving the elaboration arid fin
ishing touches to be woven in dramatic tex
ture, to artists enjoying more time and possess
ing mojc skill and imagination than we can
command.
A lady, youthful, lovely, accomplished, and
the daughter of a distinguished Kentuckian,
enjoying independent competence, imperiously
commanded the admiration of the gallants of
the vicinage, aud attracted zealous suitors from
abroad. She was a belle of almost unrivalled
charms, and received numerous declarations of
attachment, many of them ardent and sincere.
Like most queenly damsels enjoying fortunate
positions in the social world she was an apt
mistress of coquetry, and wielded her resistless
sceptre unmercifully upon all who ventured
within the charmed radii of her matchless fas
cinations.
She reigned ruthlessly” during a long and
brilliant career, and her reputation for comli
uess and social skill neither waned with the
lapse of time or her cruel exercise of power,
but seemed to be promoted without apparently
approaching culmination, and splendidly il
lustrated the remorseless tyranny of capri
cious, passionless beauty. Fatigued at last,
and sated with the common-place triumphs of
ordinary coquetry, she introduced, by way of
episode, the expedient of engagements to mar
ry. Not satisfied, however, with tho usual
termination of happy courtship, she betrothed
herself to two lovers, whom she adroitly man
aged to keep profoundly ignorant of their mu
tual pretensions and expectations.
One suitor was a talented young minister,
of fair possessions. The other a gentleman of
“elegant leisure,” and lord of many broad
acres. Both were tilting for tho whimsical
beauty, each eoneions of the other’s devotion,
but, as wo have said, mutually unaware of
their mutual sugccss. The young minister
was favored by the damsel’s father, and was
accepted by him for tho future son-in-law.
Acquainted with the mother’s hostility to him
self, and conscious of her preference for his
rival, as well as consceiving the father’s con
sent adequate for tho accomplishment of his
purpose, and trusting to time and clrcvunstau
cos to mitigate her prejudices, the young min
ister forebore application to her.
His rival, meantime, bad been accepted by
the mothar—who, like himself, was ignorant
of the young minister’s successful negotiations
—and deeming himself sufficiently justified to
proceed, and appreciating the father’s objec
tion to himself, he, on the other hand, us his
rival had refrained from submitting his peti
tion to the mother, neglected his obligat ons
to the father. Tho artful complications of
the daughter were, thus far, attended with
the happiest success, aud it is presumable she
hugely enjoyed the extraordinary and perplex
ing contretemps.
The rivals now became importunate, and so
licited the speedy consumation of the contem
plated alliance. Their betrothed, however,
capriciously vexed and tantalized them to her
heart’s content, declining them with alternate
hopes and promises, like Macheath’s “asides
to his two sweethearts,” but finally concurred
with their ardent petitions, and appointed the
same day, hour and place for tho solemniza
tion of the triangular bridal. Arrangements
were subsequently made that added richer
space to tho culminating drama. The minis
ter and his betrothed agreed to celebrate their
nuptials quietly, a few of their mutual friends
only being advised. On tho other hand osten
tatious preparations wore made for a magnifi
cent display. Cards were dispatched far and
noar by our heroine and the mother’s choice,
and all the gallanty and beauty of the country
were iuformeJ of the approach of the bridal
period. Tho absence of tho minister, mean
time, faciliti ated operations, and gossipping
rumor, strange to say, failed for once to mar
the execution ol’ a billiant design. How the
parents remained in ignorance in the midst of
such active operations has not been developed,
but those familiar with the inventive wit of
sprightly woman will readily imagine the keen
diplomacy of our heroine, who successfully
managed her double intrigue into the crisis of
i consumation. Suffice it that at the deuouuce
, ment of the parents were most completely con
founded of all.
The nuptial eve rolled round. Guests as
j sembied in glittering concourse, exuburant in
; joyous anticipations, aud splendidly decorated,
i The most brilliant vivacity and gayest coufu
i siou prevailed. The officiating minister ap
i peared, and there were bright indications of
the fullest realization of all happy anticipa
tions. Moments were fritted in pleasant in
terchange of compliments. Beautiful women
vivaciously responded to happy devoirs ol’ gal
lant gentlemen, and the buzz and musical hum
of joyous, pleasant voices, agreeably confused
tho senses, until the minute hand of the
parlor clock pointed the hour. Expectation
now commanded silence. Curiosity on tip toe
suspended merriment, and only suppressed
murmurs wore heard in intervals of anticipa
tion.
The sonorous hell sounded the hour, and
expectation became intense. Scarcely had the
last echo of the clanging clock died away in
silence, when every cheek paled, and every
pulsation of hearts suspended. A heavy sound
as of a falling human body, sunken with fear
ful suddenness to the floor, and accompanied
by wield shrieks of terror, resounded from an
adjoining room. A rush as of hurrying feet,
nnd a mingled echo of fearful exclamations,
terrified every heart, a moments before so joy
ous. There was an instinctive push forward ;
the flimsy barrier intercepting the progress of
the hastening throng gave way, and a spectacle
was presented beggaring description.
A frightened group of beautiful women,
pale as the snowy robes of tho bride, covered
m dismay over the fallen form of a stricken
man, dressed as for nuptial night, deathly pa
lid, and lying apparently lifeless in the cen
tre of the floor. Several gentlemen wore
chatting the temples of tiie fallen man, while
a fair woman agitated, but self-possessed,
kneeling at his side, with his head in her lap,
administered powerful restoratives. The bride,
arrayed in ail her transcendent loveliness,
stood on one side, the lustre of her brilliant
countenance alternately deepening to carna
tion, and paling to fleecy whiteness, while in
all other respects she seemed calm and unmov
ed as an idle spectatress of a dramatic scene.
Opposite her stood a gentleman dressed like
the fallen man. trembling and fearlessly agita
ted, alternately scanning the beautiful but
passionless vision before him, and the lifeless
form at her feet. Outside tho circle and half
hidden from view, sunken into tho deep em
brace of an armchair, reclined the half-paral
yzed mother of the bride, speechless and im
movable as a statue. Near her, and trying.to
soothe her, stood the dismayed ‘father, aston
ished and overcome by the apparent calami
ty that befallen his house. At the moment
appointed tor the mjptiuls, two bridegrooms
claimed the hand of the bride, Each had
come with glowing anticipations of happiness
mutually congratulating themselves upon the
approach of the moment that would find them
united to the object of adoration. Each was
unconscious of tho other’s claim, and the ef
fect when the dread fact burst upon them was
tremendous. It was too overwhelming for the
young minister. With heart-rending gasp he
struggled for a moment and lull headlong and
heart-stricken to the floor. It was that appal
ing soune, mingled with the shrieks of the
brides-maids, which so startled the guests in
the midst of their joyous anticipations and
joyous hilarity.
The spectacle presented to the rushing and
terrified throng of beautiful women and gay
gentlemen was terrifying. The tableaux of
the fallen groom; the calm and unmoved bride;
the agitated groom searching her with glaring
eyes and livid features ; the pavalyzed moth
er; the astonished and humbled father; the
kneeling terms of lovely and sympathetic wo
men ; aud the grave and ominous silence of
their intendant groom’s men, was one perhaps
never before witnessed on a nuptial night.
After a while the ministrations of kind
nurses began to produce re-action in the pros
trated system of the fallen groom. Signs of
returning animation became visible. The ac
tors aud witnesses of the tragic scene regain
ed composure. The father’s self-possession
returned. Advancing to this beautiful but
heartless author of the .painful drama, he
sternly commanded her instant choice between
the Contesting suitors. The mother, still true
to her partialities, advocated her favorite.—
The father maintained neutrality, but repeated
his commands. The daughter standing in awe
of her father, plead for a moment’s reflection.
It was granted, but a flying messenger was
immediately dispatched for the officiating min
ister. who, it was now discovered, had escaped
in the confusion, unporceived, and had re
paired, thoughtful nml sorrowful, toward his
home.
After much persuasion he returned, and the
company, whose early gnity now gave place to
sadness and silence, again repaired to tho par
lors to await the final development of the clos
ing act
The broad doors were now flung open. A
streamfof brilliant light, succeeded by a flood
of beauty, irradiated the eceno. The bridal
train swept in. Tbe nuptial ceremony bound
indissolubly the heartless but magnificent
bride to the devoted but suffering young min
ister, whom, at the last moment, she had cho
sen.
Reader, you will iiuagiue the decision of tho
mother’s favorite. His agony, if he loved her
truly, must have been intense, yet with all it
must have been mingled with emotions of gra
tification in the consciousness of having es
caped the misfortune of marriage with a pas
sionless nnd marble lleartud flirt. You will
likewise judge if the deep affection of the
young minister received its just deserts. We
will not decide for you. Our sketch is a true
narrative and its moral is profound.
Immortality.
How beautiful the following gem from the
pen of Prentice, and how happy the heart that
can see these beauties, as ho portrays them :
“ Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud
come over us with a beauty that is not of
earth, and thus pass away, and leave us to
muse on their faded lnvelitioes ? Why is it
that the stars which hold their festival around
their midnight thrones, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever mock
ing us with I heir unapproachable glory ? And
why is that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our viewnnd then taken from
us, leaving a thousand dreams of affliction to
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heart ?
We are born for a higher destiny than that of
earth. There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the star* will set out be
fore u * like islands that slumber on the ocean,
and w , vo the beautiful being that now pass
es bet tv us like a meteor, will stay in our
presev.l lorever!
Fine Art.
The annexed which we clip from the Mont
gomery Advertiser, pays a merited compliment
to a former citizen of our city. As to his abil
ities as a musician all accord him a position
which few have attained. If he succeeds as
admirably in painting as he has done in music
Montgomery may well be proud of such a citi
zen :
“ We saw at the Fair Grounds, on Tuesday,
several paintings on exhibition, among them
one by Mr. 11. 8. Saroni, of Montgomery.—
Mr. 8. is a musician by profession and one of,
the most finished and thoroughly educated we
know’. But his fondness for a sister art is
equally as great, and, although entirely self
taught, both in the selection and treatment of
his subjects exhibits a taste and capacity,
whichoaly requires cultivation to make him
eminent. The tints of tho sky in “Crossing
the stream,” are soft and mellow, and the per
spective is beautifully correct. The clouds
are moving, to rial things, not blocks shaped
by a chisel, and the grass grows by the mar
gin of the water. “ The Coliseum,” and the
“ Ruins of Baalbek,” are admirable copies,
and with some minor faults of shading, are
very fine paintings; we prefer them, to any
on exhibition. The timid attitude, and face
of the little girl in “Come along,” are very
natural, expressive and childlike.
We should bo sorry if music should loose
one who has wooed her so assiduously and
with such success, but as it is from the eye we
experience greater and more lasting gratifi
cation than the ear, we should be glad if he
would devote a greater portion of his time to
painting.”

During the American struggle for independ
ence, Washington was greatly embarrassed by
the arrival of foreign officers, who expected
nothing less than the highest posts in the army,
and frequently, when accepted, proved unwor
thy of the stations assigned to them. Expe
rience of this kind led Washington to be ex
ceedingly cautious in receiving foreign officers
into the service. At this period Kosciusko
presented himself, to Washington, fortified by
a letter from Franklin. The first interview
between the gallant and generous Pole and no
less generous Washington, is thus described
in the third volume of Washington Irving’s
Washington, just issued from the press:
“What do you seek here ? ” inquired the
commander in-chief.
“To fight for American independence.”
“ What can you do ? ”
• “Try me.”
Washington was pleased with the curt yot
comprehensive veply, and with his chivalrous
air and spirit, and at once received him into
his family as an aid-de-camp. Hi%subsequent
noble and gallant career as an officer in the
American service, is well known, and has in
separably joined his name with that noble
struggle to which we owo our present exalted
rank as a nation.
For a number of years a suit has been in
progress in the courts of the District of Co
lumbia, prosecuted by his collateral heirs, to
recover the property left by him at his decease
in this country, which now amounts to up
wards of $50,000. We believe that a final de
cision has boon rendered, eslabishing the rela
tionship of tho claimant* and the validity of
their claim.—A”. Y- Sun.
Oldest Negro Yet.
We have at last got hold of a particularly
old negro. Thera have beeft countless cases
of tolerably advanced blacks, but the case be
low, which we copy from an exchange, is said
to be perfectly authentic, and finishes the list.
She ought to be showed around ;
Some iiuie ago I sent you an account of au
old negro man, who died in Charleston at tho
advance aged of 115 years. Since then I have
seen a Statement of a negro woman, who died
in Fauquier county, Va., aged 140. A friend,
who was formerly au officer in the United
States Army, related that when he was sta
tioned at Pas Christain, iu Louisiana, lie was
iu the habit, with his brother officers, of visit
iug an aged negress who sold butter-milk. On
one occsion the following conversation took
place:
“Old woman, how old aroyefh? ’’
“i dunuo, Mnssa.”
“llow long have you lived about here ? ”
“O, loug time, long time, mnssa.” She then
went on to relate circumstances in connection
with the history of the couutry, weicli proved
that she must have arrived at a very advanced
age.
“Well, mnssa, Pse had nineteen children,
and that gal, (pointing to au old Woman) is the
youngest, aud I know she’s ninety.”
The old woman was quite active when our
informant saw her last, and attend to the sale
of her buttermilk herself in preference to
calling upou the “gal,” whom she represented
to be “too good for nothing.”
