When, f r for good and substantial reasons, . therefore, she consents to those mixed marriages, she always throws as many safeguards as possible around her children, particularly requiring that provision should be made that the off spring, if any, of the marriage, shall b? brought up in the €)athdie church, As I sav, 1 learn that there has been consid erable difficulty in arranging tho prelimina ries, aa<l removing alt these dfaculties ; biff, every thing having been arranged, the mar riage took place to-day. But a very samli number of invitations had been issued, and it was not generally known, f think even aucorg the secession community in Paris, that : it would occur to-day. Before the hour appointed there were pro bably two hundred persons' present in the body of the church. These were composed of the very creme de la creme of Parisian rebel dom—arid there were some beautiful faces among the fair hut rebellious daughters of the sunny South present—a number of highly respectable looking English sympathizers of both, sexes, a few Northern secessionists, a sprinkling of French aristocracy, a few indi viduals with booked uoses and black beards, evidently of the same religion* ! q .suasions" with the bridegroom M. Mocquard, the private secretary of ihc Emperor Napoleon, who thus gave a sort, of imperial %■ cog nitron to the creiavny. A few of the “Northern scum,’ who. like Banquo’a ghost, came uninvited; three or four “intelligent contrabands”' aud several stragglers, who were attracted by the appear ance of the portly “Suisse,” dressed out in his best regimentals, at the door. One individ ual, wore a rebel officer s uniiortn. was pres eat, as was the Secretary of the Portuguese Legation, the only representative of foreign diplomacy whom f noticed, excepting Mr. Mason, the rebel ‘cqsjmissoner to the Conti nent.

Brlanger »ml Mrs. Slidell Miss Slidell h rather a tall and decidedly fine looking voting lady of about twenty-two. and has the reputation of being exceedingly religious, benevolent and amiable. She was dressed in white satin, with a long train, and" wore the conventional veil aii.il the wreath of orange blossoms. Considering that Mr. Slidell is said to have, made a million or more out of the rebel loan, struck me that | he might have iudulged in anew dress coat ou this occasion, as the oqyj he wore looked i exceedingly seedy, and I thought the old gen tleman himself looked rather dilapidated.— The party passed by the high altar into the i sacristy, where the marriage ceremony was ! performed, as the authorities of the church ; refused io relax the rule forbidding the per i tormance of the marriage ceremony between one of the faithful and a heretic before' the ! altar. After the-ceremony the newly married pair came from the sacristy and boih knelt before the altar while a beautiful mass* was finely sung, After this they returned to the ! sa-ristv, where, after receiving congratula tions of their friends, they passed out to the ' carriage to the music of Mendelsohn’s march iu the “Mid Summer Night's Dream. V Drafted Catholic Priest. —As eonski tiTiblo interest is attached to the views of Father Hennessy in connection with the draft, we give a report of his remarks to his*congre gation on Sunday morning. He spoke in sub stance as follows : ■‘l ask the prayers and kind offices of the church for the families of the poor men who have suffered from the draft. During the past'week it has passed over the city like a whirkwiud. It is worse than cholera and the plague, having none of the compensations of those dreadful afflictions. “They only destroy the body; this tortures the soul. It drags its victims from their ago nized families. Talk not of the tortures and v ; . . ies of the middle ages. None of them ever equalled this in cruelty. Tn all the coun tries of Christendom (by which term I do not mean the United Stales,) the priesthood are ; exempt from conscription; but here there is r.o exemption. How long will it be before they lay their hands upon the church and the ; sacred vessels ? Soon they will reach that point where they have no respect for God himself. Some have been so foolish as to sup pose that I would acquiesce in the demand , made upon me, and tear myself from ray be ; ioved people. It is now seventeen years since 1 have withdrawn from the world and devoted myself to God, and I shall not,' unles3 upon compulsion, do violence to my sacred vows. In all Christian countries the priest who be -1 comes a soldier is degraded to the extent cor responding with excommunication among the laity. ••Many Joving friends have stopped forward and generously offered to take my place, but : cannot ask another to do that which I do not think it right to do myself. I shall abide in my owu house until I am torn by sacrili gious hands from my own people and from the altar. If another is sent, I shall not pre vent it, but I would prefer that these men should carry out their barbarous dictates and drag me through the streets in my'sacredotal robes. * * * It is our duty to obey the laws. To good laws we can always yield an active obedience; to bad laws we should yield passively. The great evil is that you have sent men to make laws who do not even know the nature of an enactment. They know only how to carry out the dictates of their sav age natures. r —Detroit Advertiser.

A Remarkable Chapter in Naval Warfare. —The report of the capture of tho rebel iron-clad ram Tennessee, in Mobile Bay, must form one of the most remarkable chapters iu naval warfare.— It was no ordinary sort of sea monster that could bear the concentrated attack of thirteen vessels of war,'six of them iron-clad, with ffn armament of two hundred guns, and y<t cmuc -it iff' tfce en gagement with 11 few splinters detached from her inner casing to murk the damage in her interior. The Tennessee lay in the rear of our fleet after the forts had been passed on the morning of tue sth of August, And of fourteen vessels at Admiral Farragut's disposal for the attack ail were per fectly sound and uninjured (except the Tecumseh, which had been sunk by a torpedo when the order was given, shortly after eight o'clock, to bout ship and give battle to the ram,' A signal was given to all the fleet not only to commence the attack with guns, but to run her down at full speed.— The Monongahela, a steam frigate, not iron-clad, was the first to strike the Tennessee, but the shock; tremendous as it must have been to an or dinary craft, bad no apparent effect upon the ram. The Admiral’s flag-ship, the Hartford, next dashed against her with her bow at full speed, im mediately followed up the terrific stroke with a whole port broadside of 9 inch shot ami thirteen pounds of powder, at a distance of twelve feet, but still tho oaken and iron thews and sinews of the monster showed no perceptible loosening or fee bleness. The monitors and tho remainder of the fleet then closed in upon har ; and she surren dered simply when she no longer had seaway to move in. The pounding lasted for a full hour and a half, at the end of that time she was given up by her commander, Buchanan, in a condition which enabled the engineers of our fleet to report on the 13th of August—eight days after the fight had taken place—that she was “in a ‘state good service.” The bare facts .of the engagement have to be re- ; called along with those Tolating to the size, form, structure and armament of the Tennessee, as they serve to frustrate each other. The length of the Tennessee from stem to stern on deck, is 200 feet, her depth 4S feet, and her draught «f water about 14 feet. The deck covering is of 2 inch iron plates. The protection to lue aides is an overhang which extends about 6 feet below the wator line, and is covered with double layers of two-inch wrought iron. The distance between the outside or knuckle of the overhang on deck, and the base of the casemate is ten feet. The inner sides of the vessel, as far as known by ,tn approximate measurement, are eight feet thick. The prow is less formidable in dimensions than might have been supposed, extending en.y 2 fbet under the water. v The easement of the Tennessee, which is 78 feet 8 inches in length, and 28 teet 9 inches in width, ldaves an open space on either side of ten feet (at the greatest breadth es beam), and the framing of the casing consists of heavy yellow pine beams, 13 inches thick, laid together vertically : an inner planking of pine laid horizontally, s£inches thick, and outside of the latter a layer of oak timber 4 inches thick, bolted on vertically, and covered with iron plating—6 inches thick forward, and 5 inches thick abaft and on the sides. The armor plating i* fastened on with bolts 1£ inches in diameter, with washers and nuts fastening them inside. The Tennessee had an armament of six of what are called Brookes’ rifled guns. The two pivot guns (fore and aft) are 7$ inches bore, and the four broadsides are 6 inches bore. The weight of the projectiles are found to be 95 and 110 pound solid shot. The steering arrangement, and the provision for the protection of the pilot and helmsman, our en gineers haTO found to be exceedingly defective. — The machinery consists of two “non-condensing’’ : engines, with cylinders twenty-four inches in di ameter, and seven feet stroke. These bad been taken out es some old river steamboat; the ma chinery department evidently being held alto ; gather es minor account in the general plan of the builders. As in most heavily-clad rams the ven tilation was found to be exceedingly bad. The main defeet, however, thus far discovered, is in the port shutters, several of which were seriously damaged by the shot from our heavy guns.— Nine eleven inch shots were found to l ave struck within a space of a few squa.ro leer, not one of which, however, penetrated the casemate. Much of her plating was started in many places, and on the port side nearly amidships of the case mate, a fifteen inch solid shot knocked a hole through her armer and bavkiug a portion of the latter falling off in splinters. The ramming of our vessels left no visible mark en the outside of the Tenuessee : but as she makes two inches more water an hour than she did prior to the fight, it is presumed that some of her invis ble joints must have been partially deranged with her repeated concussions with the assailing fleet. The Teunessee has lately been used by Admiral Farragut to good purpose in the a3sauit on Fort Morgan that preceded its surrender ; aad we expect that she will yet do as much gftod service, and take rank amongst the most pow orfnl iron-clads in the navy of the Union. —Net York Timet.

Buh'kaoe Running—Relief of Confeder ates. —The Liverpool-correspondent of the New York Herald writes : Blockade ltinning and cotton speculation are now among the precarious and extra haz ardous employments of capital. About forty steamers are engaged in the illicit traffic, and captures now are very frequent. That sensitive commercial barometer, the bank rate interest, continues up at the high figure of nine per cent., and of course this 1 adds to the stringency ot the money market ! and the difficulty of raising funds by those in a tight place. The bazaar just held in Liverpool in behalf ; of the rebel wounded and destitute, I hear ! from a reliable source, will net some £15,000. May it do the sufferers good. No doubt the money will carry joy to many distressed crea | tures who have been Innocent victims of ! one of the most monstrous crimes recorded in , history. I have just met a- sea captain who comes di -1 rect from Glasgow, and tells me there are ' hundreds of steamers building and fitting out in the Clyde and adjacent waters, all to run the blockade. The;* act as if the war was to ! last for the next five years. He.says every ; ship, builder in the Clyde has gas lights in his' yard, and, with relays of hands, work | every hour of the twenty-four He tells me ! of one man—the old and successful blockade runner. T. S. Bagbie—who starts four new : paddle steamers this week. Bagbie, ‘though a Scotchman, iesides here in London. I hope ! vour navy now is equal to the- emergency, i though if fast steamers are wanted they ought to buv some here iu London. i The World against Lincoln.—ls Mr. Lincoln will keep on making speeches to returning regi ments, there will be no need of his friends with drawing him lrom the Presidential canvass. He will “fizzle out,” to use one of his owu elegant ex pressions, bv election day. His last speech to the Ohio hundred day men was a gem in its way. By the official report, which we give this morning, it will be seen that Mr. Linco’n warns the soldiers not to heed the ’'miserable picayune arguments” of the opponents of his rule, and tries in a singularly con fused way, to make out that the administration is the government. This malapropos expression gives the country the measure of Mr. Lincoln’s dignity i 0 f character and elevation of sentiment- He, the ! occupant of a Presidential chair, a candidate for ; re-election in the most trying crisis of the nation’s history, is so obvious to the proprieties of his posi tion that ho stoop? to the contumelious words to throw odium npoa his opponents. This “picayune” speech of Mr. Lineoln ought to be circulated all over the country. There is not a right- minded man from Maine to California, no -matter what his poli tics, but what will be disgusted with it and its au thor, — World. T'lEZlJn CITY. ■ T. J. JACKSON.... LOCAL. EDITOR A Ghand Concert bv Madame Baimni. —We have been requested to announce that Madame Bailini, assisted by her phpils, will give a fraud concert to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, for and in behalf of herself, in which will be represented the opera of “Traviafa, " with selections from “Nor ma” aud ‘‘Martha. -' It is useless for us to expa tiate on the well-known and highly appreciated musical gifts of this lady, and, therefore, unneces sary for us to predict a complete success on this occasion. We will venture to suggest, however, j that as she has ever been first and foremost in all efforts to promote the good of others, and particu ; tarty unremitting in her labors to supply the wants of our Suffering countrymen on tho tented field, it is but simpfe justich that she now be hon ored with a rousing beiiofit fbr herself.

The Exile- “sisteks” is the name of a trio of bisters holding forth at Temperance Ilali in a vari ety of Tableaux, Songs. Dances, Ac. Their enter tainment ou Saturday night was poorly attended, probably on account of sufficient notification not haying been given, and in consequence of the hurr3 T I °f preparati n, some part of programme wore in : efficiently rendered. Some of the Tableaux were ; quite beautiful, and the Dancing and Singing of j Rosa Ingram was creditable. The Sisters give one more entertainment to-night. Those wishing to assist the unfortunate should at tend. We understand from parties who knew these ladies in Atlanta, that they came of good family, are deserving, and have lost their all by the inroads of Y'ankeeism. Necessity has compelled them to ! resort to this course to obtain n living.— This being the case they should be assisted. Siege Matters—Four Hundred and Seventy ! sixth Day. —'Forty shells wore thrown at the city 1 during Wednesday-; but nineteen shots wero fired ! at the wreck of tho Flora, and at our James Island : batteries. It is our sad duty to chronicle four distressing | casualties resulting from the explosion of one of ; 1 the enemy’s shells on Tuesday night, in a dwelling situated in the more exposed portion oi the city.— Lieutenant L. P. Mays, Lieutenant John Dardon, : Lieutenant D. E. Willis and Private John Shan i non, were sleeping in the same apartment, when a , shell burst in their midst. Shannon was killed, and Lieutenants Mays and Dardon so badly wounded ! that tbey did not survive amputation. Lieutenant i Willis was also wounded, but his injuries are not i believed to boos a dangerous character. [Ghurlotton Mercury. Tribute of Respect.
