Novel Marriage in Charlotte County. The Danville (Va.) Times gives the following: A ratlier novel marriage ceremony took' place in (lie upper end of Char lotte county, not long since. The wn- lor wns high and tlie bridges all gone; tlie parson lived on ono side, nml tho lirido nnd bridegroom on tlie other— But amor vincil omnia, they wore not to bo outdone. So tlie parson stood on ons hunk nnd tlio bridal party on the other—all decked out in their finery—and in tlie mud. And thus they wore united. But a most amus ing scene look place beforo they wore pronounced man nnd wife. A difilcul- ty arose how the parson’was to got the license. Tlio groom wns.called upon, hut ho not being able to swim, positively refusocl to take it over. At length, one of tho wnltoru voluntcerod. .Tliero wns a log ovor tho stro'atn, lmt it was covered with water two foot deep. He hesitated awhile, hit final ly concluded, to straddle it.

Old Brigham Young Is tho “out- marrylnist” man on this continent. It appears that, a short time einco, he wedded five young ladieB nt one time, making a grand marriage; and only a few days afterwards—so strong is tho old sinner’s passion, which is to havo more wives than any six mon in his kingdom—lio proposed marriage lo Mnilnin l’arepa Rosa, tlio “eminent 1’rima Donna." She Informed him that as hor husband was still among tho living, 'she must respectfully de cline. Tlie old rascal, ready nt all times to obvlato any dlliloiilties, in stantly proposed lo marry hor husband also. Somo United States troopB, un der tho command of General Butler, should lie sent out there I'm- tlio .pur pose of breaking up old Brig’s mar riages, which are not only becoming alarmingly frequent, lmt seems to as sume a very singular character. The General can obtain possession of all Ids valuables, and thereby deprive him of tho “ready" noeossnry to support so extensive a household, which old Brig will then, no doubt, divide among tlio soldiers. Last Moments of Qoneral Housioau. Tho New Orleans Picayune gives some interesting particulars concern ing the death of General Rousseau, in tlmt city last weolt, from which it ap pears that while the physieianB woro holding a uonsiillntinn ill the residence of Dr.'islone, near by, Gen. Ruusoeati passed quietly away. There were present in the room at tlio time of the General’s demise his wife and oliildren and immediate relatives, besides Ool. Keeler and Capt.

General Stoedman lmd been sent lor, hut being met by a cheerful mossngo from Gener al Rousseau—“I sent for you believing I was dying, but I believe I ain going to live”—he loft, and wns not present at the death-bed. Tho last words which General Rousseau uttered wore to ask for his son Gooige, who wns present in the"room. lie retained his consciousness until lie expired.

The Virginia Constitution.—Tbo members of the Virginia conservative suffrage amnesty delegation have had a pleasant and satisfactory intefyiew with Jndgo Trumbull, Mr. Fessenden and other leading republicans. Thore is a general desiro-to roach some ar rangement, and it is agreed by. all that the Underwood constitution is not fit to he accepted as the organic law; hut there is no agreement yet as to the details of tbe'counter plan. There is authority for tlio statement tlmt Mr. Wasliburne,.Judge Trumbull, General Butler and many oilier influential gen tlemen are in favor of a sottlemont up on the basis of impartial suffrage and universal amnesty. Tlie committee aro thorefore hopoful of good results. It is not worthy tliut somo of tho Wes tern democrats, and tlioso in Congress from the bordor States, look on the Virginia movement with despair, and regard it as a mistake, affirming that the West is opposed to negro suffrage, _ Wash.

This incident servos an excellent purposoln prefacing n few words which wo lmvo for' n long timo had in our mind lo say. Of all tlio evils prevalent among young men wo know of nono more blighting in its moral ell’oct than tho tendoncy to spenk slightingly of young womou. Nor Is thoro anything in which young mon nro so thoroughly mlstakon as tho low estimate llioy form of the integrity of women—not of tliair mothers aud sisters, thank God, but of tlio others, who they forget aro some body olse’s mothers nnd sisters. As a mis, no person who surrenders to tills debasing habit is safe to bo trnstud witli nn enterprise requiring integrity of character. Plain words should bo spokon on this point, for tho evil is a general one, nnd doep rooting. If young men nro sometimes thrown into tho sooioty ol thoughtless and lu’wd women, they havo no moro right to measuro nil oth er womou by what they soo of those and thoy would have to estimate tho diameter of lionoat and respectable citizens by tho development of crimes In tlio police courts. Let young mon remombor tlmtthoir chief happiness in life, deponds upon their nttor faith in women. No wordly wisdom, no nilsaulhropie philosophy, no generalization can cov er or wenkon this fundamental truth. It stands like tho rcoord of God him self—for it Is nothing less than tills— and should put an ovorlasting Beal up on lids tlmt wont to speak slightingly of women. A Ku-Kluk Raid in ’Tennessee.
