A London letter, speaking of the recent
marriage of Prince Christian and the
Queen’s daughter, Princess Helena, says :
“It has caused great indignation among
the people. Her husband, Prince Christian,
is stated to be forty-two years of age, while
she is scarcely turned twenty, and he is so
unfortunate as to have another wife living, a
German Countess, with whom he contracted
a morganatic marriage many years ago, and
by whom he has bad a large family. The
English people have very old-fashioned
notions about marriage, and they consider
that when a man has sworn before the altar
to cleave to his wife, the woman then present,
that he is debarred from taking another Vrlfe
before death or the Divorce Court has re
leased him from the first. They cannot take
a German Prince’s view of the matter, that
the first marriage was only such iu a/‘Pick
wickian sense,” because the first wife was
not of royal blood. The enormity of the of
fence is increased by tiie fact tha^ he is a
beggarly Prince, whose annual income does
not exceed one thousand dollars, and that he
has lived for many years on the bpunty qf
bis wife, the Countess. ,
Just previous to the marriage, he was about
to bo arrested by certain London tradesmen
whom lie ha l favored with orders for jewelry,
segars and clothes, when, fortunately, he was
saved by the generosity of a member of the
Royal family. For a long time the Prince of
Wales refused to countenance the wedding by
his presence; and after his consent was ob
tained, he refused to give his sister away.
But the Queen was equal to the emergency,
and did it herself—she had resolved, with
the stubbomnes of a Guelph, that this mar
riage should take place. From this and other
causes Queen Victoria is fast losing her popu
larity. This is clearly manifested in the comic
papers, who ridicule and lampoon her favor
ites, the chief of whom is the bigamist, Prince
Christian.
Affecting Scene.—JTwo young men were
recently hung In Springfield, Ilf. A reporter
says the most affecting incident connected
with the tragedy, occurred the night previ
ous to the execution, when the mothers of
the culprits saw their sons for the last time
on earth. These *wo broken-hearted women
bowed down With the burden of s mighty
grief, appeared to the sheriff and requested

A Philadelphia paper publishes the follow

to the remark made by Jefferson Davis at
Charlotte, ,N. C., on receiving the dispatch an.
nonneing President Lincoln’s 1 assassination,
as given ihthe testimony of Mr. Bates during

„L. 11 hs'Mr.’ Davis. He stopped at the house of had 1 woven the garlands of trmtA around his
Mr. Bates, an agent of Adams’ Express Com
pany, Where he had been invited by tele
graph. I was within a few feet of the door
when he alighted from his horse, and; as
cending the step, he' made' a short address.
Not a word was said upon Mr. Lincoln’s
death, for nothing of it was then known.
The door OC ttie house being lbcked, there
was a slight delay afterward.
| “As he remained in this position, an agepV
lof the telegraph office passed me, carryipg a
dispatch which had anticipated the arrival of
1 Mr. Davis. When the envelope was. opened
Mr. T>avi4 Tead the note with earnest and
grave concern, and turning to a gentleman-
Mr. William Johnston—standing nearest
him, he handed it to: him and remarked,
‘ This is a very extraordinary communica
tion.’ No other word was uttered by him.
As soon as it was glanced over, the gentle
man inquired, ‘Shall I read it to the people ?'
Without a word of reply, seemingly occupied
with sad and serious thoughts, Mr. Davis
moved on one side to make room for the
gentleman, who read aloud the dispatch an
nouncing the assassination of President Lin
coln at the theatre in Washington at ten
o’clock at night, and a simultaneous attempt
upon the lira of the Secretary of State, Mr.
Seward.
“Not another word was said, and there was
no note of appearance of exultation among a
large crowd of soldiers and civilians, whose
countenances I regarded attentively. All
were silent with surprise, astonishment or
doubt For my own part, I did not credit
the dispatch. The next morning early, I
went with a friend to see Mr. Davis, in order
to’ thank him for kindness to one of my
family, whom he had permitted to pass the
lines to visit her brother, Major General
U. S. A., at that time stationed,be
low Richmond. In the course of conversation
I asked Mi\ Davis if he credited the report of
tbe assassination of Mr. Lincoln. He replied
gravely, in his’ usual manner, that be cmild
not regard it as a mere report, for he had re
ceived a dispatch from Gen. Breckenridge,
who, he had reason to believe, was in com-
munication with Gc*L Sherman’s headquar
ters, whence the information was directly 'ob
tained.
“He said he ‘considered it, if true, the
most unfortunate occurrence for the South,
at a moment when Mr. Lincoln had expressed
a disposition to accept or offer favorable
terms.' It is generally acknowledged and
known here, that nothing canid be more un
like an expression of exultation or satisfac
tion than the demeanor and langnage of Mr.
Davis on this subject. The very contrary
can be proved by several who have conversed
with him, who were much more intimate with
him than I. I write this to you as a simple
act of justice to Mr. Davis, in reference to
his position, without political or sectional
bias of any kind, which I strive to avoid.”

A Victim of Cholera.—A Paris letter of
the 20th ult. says :
Several cases of cholera have recently oc
curred in Paris. One awful instance has
greatly afflicted American residents- Miss
Harback, a ybung iady from New-York, who,
on We.dnesday evening, was riding in the Bois
de Boulogne full of health and spirits, was
seized with cholera in the course of the night,
at the Hotel Wagram, in the Rue de Rivoli.
l)rs. Trousseau and Beylard were called in,
but in spite of their efforts the patient died
in twenty-four hours. She was engaged to
be married to a Mr. Lockwood, who is now
in St Petersburg, and can only know his loss
by telegraph, The funeral took place to-day.
A vast ^number of American residents, in
cluding Mrs. Bigelow, attended.
How to Enjoy It.—In a very learned and
clever article, on ‘Kissing,’ Charles Astor
Bristed says: “Finally, the -man who realty

kisses, but very decided limit to the number

Murder slid Robbery by Negroes
South Carolina One nr the Murderers
Killed and the Other Captured,
The Columbia South Carolinian gives tbe
following account of a brutal murder com
milled by negroes on the 18th ultimo, and
the swift retribution that overtook th
wretches:
Mr. Lemuel Lane, one of the most respect
ed citizens of Newberry District, had accu
mulated from tbe sale of cotton and from
other sources, a considerable sum of money,
Which it was known he kept on his premises.
That opportunity to obtain this by foul means
had been carefully watched, and by more
than one person, there can be bnt little doubt;
but it was not until Friday night that the
moment arrived for the consummation of tbe
hellish deed contemplated. Mr. Lane had
then retired as usnal, but the heat being op
pressive, he lay .down in * the open air, and
there he was found in the morning, his head
split open with an axe, life extinct, and great
pools of blood covering. the ground around
Proceeding to .the hftuse tbe murderers
now ransacked the prenftses, the Wife of Mr.
Lane having taken flight to escape the fate
that surely awaited her if found, and all the
gold and silver on tbe place, amounting to
between eight and nine thousand dollars, as
we learn, was carried away.
Intelligence of the diabolical act quickly
spread, and in a short time parties started in
pursui^^One, at lj^^if tb^murderere suc-
other negro named Armistead Cook. Ac
costing a little colored boy, they here desired
to know the direction to the Charlotte depot,
handing him at tbe same time a silver quar
ter of a dollar. The lad noticed that one of
the negroes carried a bag which to him seem
ed to bq money, and Waking all hsata aflej-
the parties left him, he' communicated the
facts to Messrs. Starling and Pope, two citi
zens living in the neighborhood. , These
mounting horses, started at once to bead off the
fugitives, and overtook them in a corn field
beyond tbe Lunatic Asylum- The negroes
were ordered to .halt, when opepf them, Jbhn
Counts, alias Dawkins, took fo his heels. Mr.
Starling at once fired, anff wounded him
slightly, but tbe villain, kept on, when Mr-
S. discharged a second shot, which brought
the negro to the ground, the ball entering his
body. He lived about fifteen minutes, but
made no remark. The other had meanwhile
surrendered, and is now in custody. On ex
amining the body of Urn dead mao^ eighteen
hundred and odd ^ffduara in specie were
foimdaewtrti in his clothing ami (^mcealcd^
graved upon it, and five or six dollars, were
found on the person of Annistead. The story
of the latter is that he was hired by the mur-
derer to allot :bim UYCflfrabla, and'aw be,

It is the same thing to-day it was yesterday ;
it is the same thing to-day that it will be to
morrow.
George Washington loved tbe widow Cus-
tis—the widow Custis loved George Wash
ington—and the old folks offering no objec
tions, they were “married in the usual way.”
Tbe barnl chimneys might say:
“ We saw two clouds at morning,
Tinged bv the rising sun;
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one ;
We thought the morning cloud wmb blest,
It moved so sweetly to the west. ’*
Yesterday we rode through the estate of
General W. H. F. Lee, son of Gen. Robert
E. Lee. This is the large tract of land knowB
in history as the “White House.” It lies
south ot the Pamunkey river, and contains
about five thousand acres of first class land.
In June, 1862, when tbe grand cavalry recon-
noissancc was made in the rear of McClellan's
army, a battle was fought on this farm be
tween General Stuart’s command aud some
Federal iulaotcy, stationed bere to guard
commissary and quartermaster supplies. The
Federals, in this engagement, were forced to
beat a hasty retreat to their cunboals, leav
ing many of their dead behind. Only a
small portion of this farm was under cultiva
tion last year. General W. H. F. Lee, im
mediately alter the unfortunate termination
of events, pulled off his coat (if he bad one),
rolled up his sleeves, and “pitched in” like a
good fellow. Noble example! What a
withering rebnkc to those young men who
throw away their time in fruitless searches
alter soft positions, such as clerkships, drum
mers and so on { The owner of five thou
sand acres of the best land in the State, the
dashing and gallant cavalry officer, the ac
complished scholar, the thorough gentleman,
the trained soldier, in short, the son of
Robert E. Lee, is not ashamed to walk be
tween: tbe plow handles! General Lee’s
present residence is a small cabin, recently
built. It stands in a clump of trees near tbe
river bank, about one mile below the ruins
of the “White House.” He has no family,
having lost his wife and. children during tbe
war. Previous to the building of the cabin,
the General slept out on the ground. His
table, “so-called,” is supplied with soldier’s
fare.
Iitt Ua Have the Truth.
The mails are beginning to bring back tbe
telegraphic dispatches sent off from this city
for the newspapers daring the riot on Mon
day. .They abound with unmitigated and
atrocious falsehoods." There has been, evi
dently, a concert among the domestic and
imported sympathizers with Ibe Radical fac-
tiouists here to rush at once to the wires and
occupy the public ear with the worst ac
counts conceivable against the people and
the police of the city, to cover tbe crimes of
their favorites. This lasted uatil the telegraph
was shut down by military order, as soon as
martial law was proclaimed. How many of the
last were permitted to go on afterwards, we
have no means of knowing; but we do know
that dispatches signed by the Lieutenant
Governor of the Stale, aud tbe Attorney Gen
eral of the State, addressed to tbe President
of the United Slates, were refused to be for
warded, and these gentlemen could only get
a fair statement on behalf of the city before
the President by sending it over to Mobile
for transmission. Tbe Radicals had had full
scope for misrepresentation, and truth must
lag slowly behind. By that means, and by
the superior facilities which these gentry en
joy, in the dissemination of the Associated
Press, who penetrate instantly into all parts of
the country, tbe impression will be made
that the mob of Monday was a mob of citi
zens attacking innocent negroes, insulting
the flag they bore, and raaltreuing and mur
dering them without provocation; that it was
only subdued by the active iiterposition ot
tbe United States troops ; and that martial
law WM tbe means by which only ardfr was
restored and has been tnaintaiiea since.
Nevertheless, and although tbe channels
of public intelligence are seculously filled
with' emanations from our memies, it Is
highly important that a full and authentica
ted statement should be made of Mi the facts
of Monday’s bloody work, for the uses of
history, and to vindicate, as far as possible,
tbe fame of the city and its officers.
An examination is going on bj the military
authorities. It is not too much to say, from
tbe indications which have beet plain from
the beginning, that tbe military authorities
are in sympathy with the conventionists.—
They, decided, in the first mstanm, to defend
them' against the process of the courts, and
did suspeu4 writs duly issued against persons
under indiciment. When instructed from
Washington, they promised certiio military
aid,, the very presence of which wwld have
disheartened the schemed? and presented tbe
outbreak ; the promise failed at the time it
was needed and most expeeted, and tbe aid

application or the Strew Power;
construction asjhe oh) ' '
easily managed!, and uo 'more'
der. r Wo ropes'or potties
presses. . i
2. ITS ECONOMY.—It has
aotttal experiment to be cheaper than
screw. The timbers used In Its construction ate
much smaller aud fewer than thoaa employed In the
old screw; the levers being only 16 feet long, and the
heightof the whole frame above the bed being Only
10 feet. All these Umbers can be pmouM on the
plantation, no matter how exhausted tbe tsreel An r
ordinary wood workman can bmld the frame, anil
half a dozen hands will put it np in a few hours.
3. ITS DURABILITY'—The Hcraw and Nut are of
iron, and will last (Or years without any appreciable
wear. The whole machine occupies so little space
that it cau be completely covered at very small coat.
4. ITS POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet
long, one mule is sufficient for packing the heaviest
bales. Planters who have used it say that, with two
mules, cotton may be compressed on this machine
for shipment.
This Screw was invented jart before the opening of
the war, and has subsequently never been very gen
ii ally imrodneed. Those who hove nsed it andseen
it cseii, unanimously concur In the '-|"Dh>a Met it is
UNRIVALLED AS A SiOTION SCREW.
The following testimonials from some of the best
and moat reputable planters to the country show Me
estimate in which this Screw stauds with those who
have tried it:
We have hsed and seen in operation for the last
flvn years, Wright’s Improved Cm ton Iron Screw,
and feel no hesitatb n in pronouncing n the. very best
Cotton Screw we have ever known. So highly do
we esteem it, that, if practicable to oh.alu one of
them, we would have no other. It. is eisily bait,
simple in its construction, not liable to iret ont of
order, packs well, with great power ami w ah great
facility.

tbe mob was over, black and white rioi
dispersed and order fiually established, tbe
military came up, took possession of the city
government, and monopolized the telegraph
and proclaimed martial law. The only use
they have made of martial law has been to
discharge the parties the police had arrested,
and take ont of the hands of the proper civil
authorities the prosecution of the inquiry
into the causes remote and direct of the
Monday’s disturbances. On the repott which
will be made up by the commission vc shall
not prtraonnee any opinion in advance, but
we owe it to oar citizens to say that they do
not feel confident that their cause is safe,in
such hands, and that they look to Um Grand
Jury, or some civil tribunal in whhh they
are fairly represented, to try to get together
tbe testimony, which tbe military has done
so much to disperse, and to make a till and
thorough investigation of all the facts. We
trust that this will be done as soon as the
withdrawal of tbe militaty pressure estores
their freedom of deliberation.
A commission appointed by the (resident,
to be composed of impartial men wto ttw
not been involved by personal partiepaHon
in these matters, and Who have notsotot-
munity, of -one or the other . „
