' • .1* 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.

A Philadelphia paper publishes the follow ing letter received in that city, in reference 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 fhe trial ofj^ t^e i assassins.

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.” steps, with eyes streaming with tern, with hearts choking - with the most agonizli sensations, the mothers sought lhelr doom sods.

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 enjoys this beautiful interchange of lips ana hearts must not practice it promiscuously.

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.

Toe Case- of Choleea. — Having heard that the impression obtains abroad that - the cholera has made its appearance in this city, and that cases of it ore here, we feel it to be dne alike to candor and to truth to make known to the pnblic the whole truth of the matter. : As we' stated in bar last, three or four rrf the soldiers escaped from Tybee, and reached this place last week, on the Sylvan this^Dr. SatmlTaOTcSher of our townsman, Dr. Emiiie T.

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 Patent Improved IRON SCREW! »ilf. *!■« FOR r ’wi/i ol-.fi nztf *uw ujsiitjj Packing" Cfoutton. 1 rfiii-.il l.ij 4! nil YlHi F-.ll .H.te:” vMiJAjluooui won ti li .-i.

' ,,IJ ' 7 Jy»-lm 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 . „ would also be satisfactory to our people— They have no dread of the consequences of a fair.
