WEDDED IN DEATH. CHAPTER FROM THE STORY OF CHASLESTON'S BOMBARDMENT. EoW the Lovely Daughter of South Carolina’s First War Governor Mar ried the Soldier She Loved- Plighted Vows Amid a Scene of Carnage. From the Philadelphia P>ess. Across the level tongue of land from which the battle-scarred, earthquake-shaken -v of Charleston looks eastward stretch • he "rass-covered mounds which arc all that ■ 0 f the mighty fortifications that Lee und Beauregai'd built aud armed nearly a nuurter of a century ago. Approaching the bank lapped by the lazy wavelets of the Ashley, these traces of the defensive works of that era run northward of a peaceful Curving ground in which the drooping branches of the magnolia and palmetto trees sweep the tops of the stones that record the names of men and women who have found rest beneath that sod in the generations that have passed since the stalwart and splendid Huguenot pilgrims who had escaped Car riers massacre established the city and the State. A perpetual peace dwells upon the snot the fragrance of roses and magnolias perfumes the atmosphere; the remnants of the forts have been smoothed by the indom itable hand of time into fitting semblance with the scene; it is difficult even to find upon the veterans of the arboreal growth the scars of the shot and shell that once whistled and screamed from the great guns of Dalfivren’s monitors and Gilmore s bat teries over this lovely God’s Acre of the Southern land; and between the leafage of the sturdy trees the visitor catches glimpses of famous old St. Michael’s spire and all the broad aud beautiful vista of river, city and sea that extends to the horizon of the At lantic It is the ancient and venerable cem etery of Christ Church parish around which Beauregard drew his military lines of circunivallation, and so brought the rude and noisy bustle of war into intrusion upon the everlasting sleep of South Carolinians who hail preached nullification and talked States’ rights five lustrums before speech became powder and shot and bloodshed. The westering sun bathes in golden glory one of the most prominent monuments in this city of the dead—a slender and graceful marble shaft crowning a turfed hillock that from time to time blooms with the profli gate beauty of flowers that lies),calcs assid uous and indefatigable care for the memory of the tenant of the tomb. On the face that is turned toward the sunset is the inscrip tion: ♦ * : y Ul3 A RET PICKENS De ROCHELLE. : Pec. 24, 1864. * When South Carolina seceded from the Union and lit the fires of civil war her Gov ernor was Francis W. Pickens a member of the slave-holding aristocracy that boasted of its blue blood, and, like the feudal system of which it was a modem simulacrum, de veliwed noble and admirable types of men and women. To that rank Gov. Pickens wai entitled, and of all the fair and lovable wonen to whom his distinguished family hah given birth no one was sweeter or more beiutiful than the daughter who, when Maj. Aiderson lowered the flag on Sumter, was budding into a charming womanhood. It lies been truly said that the war was pro loaged by the courage and persistency with which the women of the South imbued the pen. No history has ever adequately told tie sacrifices that they made, the sufferings Gat they patiently endured to cheer and jrompt the soldiers and sailors who served inderthe banner of the lost cause. No where between the Potomac and the Mex ican Gulf was their spirit of unswerving de votion more manifest and active than in the capital of the Keystone State of the South ern Confederacy; aud there was no patriotic project mooted in which women could share o which Margaret Pickens did not con- Iribute. A TYPE OF SOUTHERN BEAUTY. Turning back to the Charleston newspa pers of the war epoch, her name is found ft hundred times upon their worn and fading pages. In 1862 the women of the city turned their jewelry, their diamonds —gems that had come down to them from their Hugue not and English ancestors—their silver plate and innumerable articles of bric-a-brac — into the money that paid for the ironclad ship-of-war Palmetto State, that on January 81,1863, sunk the United States gunboat Mercedita in a battle in Charleston narbor. In the enterprise of raising the construction fund Margaret Pickens was proficient and untiring. She stripped herself of her jew elry, and she figured in a leading capacity r.t the fair or bazar at which the women sold their treasures that the “ladies’ gun boat” might be built. A bright young Eng lishman who had come into Charleston as an officer of one of the blockade runners saw fcr on that occasion and worshiped her through the medium of a letter to a friend in Liverpool, that found its way into the columns of the Liverpool Mercury. 110 wrote: "I have seen to-night the loveliest girl that my eyes ever gazed upon, and the sight of her was worth the guinea of a sailor’s 'rages that I paid for the queer little flower 1 received from her hand and that is lying before me as I write. The picture of her lace which I hold in memory would make Be willing at any time to take the chances 2 wing caught or shot to pieces by the i ankees in dodging the blockade. She is rather tall, clean builtas a Shanghai clipper, bt eyes and hair are nut-brown and her 'oice as soft as that of any of the Minorca girls.’ For nineteen months, beginning with June, 1803, Charleston suffeiwl the most prolonged and tremendous bombanlment f Ver mnieted mien an American eity. All the lower part of the town was swept by day , night by Gilmore’s 300-pounder shells aml joysukcn by its population. The roar of the •rtillerv lire upon Fort Sumter and the nier defensive works was well nigh in 'issant, while the battles u]xm Morris aland for the possession of Fort Wagner ?*7 ftattery Gregg, the frequent skirmishes _ tween the reeounoitering boat parties, the oigageiuents of the fleets and such torpedo xpeditions as that which blew up the Fed al gunboat Housatonic left few uneventful in the history of the long and bloody hospitals of the eity overflowed itu wounded men, the care or whom was rgejy mtrustsl to an organization of vol wit-er nurses, of which Miss Pickens wus a member.

The Pickens family mansion vOus within the line of fire front the Federal batteries, and months previously had Iteeu abandoned. Miss Pickens had been received into the resi dence of her relative, Gen. Rhett, which was sunposed to be beyond the range of their guns, and had so far escaped being hit by a: yof the monstrous projectiles that flew into the city. On Christmas eve the wed ding party were assembled in the parlor of the Khett mansion, one of the targe and handsome houses so common on all the river frontage of old Charleston. Divested of its costly and elaborate decorations that had gone to swell this or that Confederate fund, the great room looked barren, chilly and forbidding. Candles were almost an unat tainable luxury then—the city gas works had long been wrecked by exploding shells —and some home-made device of illumina tion only lit up the little space occupied by the lover and bride and clergyman. Save for the brilliant uniform of the soldier anil the white robes of the priest of the Episco pal Church, there seemed no color or warmth in the apartment. Finery appropriate to the wedding ceremonies of distinguished people w as not to lie found in the Confederacy, and while the dozen of guests were men and women who had known the opulent and luxurious life of good society in the ante betlum days of Charleston they were row reduced to homespuns and coarse cottons. With the harsh discordance of the bom bardment filling their ears, and with the knowledge that the bridegroom must at once quit his wife’s side for service with his command, a sense of apprehension and sor row brooded over the assemblage. The most serene and self-possessed of all present, the newspaper reports said, was Miss Pick ens, whose slately lioauty was heightened by contrast with the surroundings. WHEN THE SHELL BURST. The clergyman’s voice broke the silence of the gi oup with the reading of the marriage form, and he had just reached the interroga tories when the horrible roar of a shell vastly louder than those flying over the dis tant sections of the city drowned every other sound. It came from an advanced battery that Geu. Foster had recently opened well up on the inner side of Morris Island and within a four-mile range of the Rhett residence. The 200 pounds of iron loaded with incendiary material described a trajectory that ended upon the roof of the house, from whence it crashed through the intermediate floors and burst in the midst of the wedding party. When the stifling smoke hail cleared away and men could breathe free from the suf focating fumes of the powder, the apart ment—its walls and ceiling being partly blown out, its furniture knocked into chips, blood spattered everywhere, fragments of human forms strewing the floors —was a scene of indescribable terror. Three of the wedding guests had been instantly killed, and not a person in the room had escaped injury of some sort. Lieut, de Rochelle and the clergyman were only slightly hurt, but Miss Pickens was prostrate and saturated with the that streamed from where her shoulder had been cruelly torn by a fragment of the shell. A surgeon pro nounced her dead, but w hen she was laid upon a couch she slightly revived and en deavored to speak, each heave of her breast causing the blood to flow' in an increasing current. De Rochelle approached her side and placed his ear close to the lips that were painfully struggling to utter intelligible words. Her eyes sought the clergyman with a look that begged him to draw' nigh. He did so, and De Rochelle, catching as by inspiration her meaning, asked her if she would have the remainder of the ceremony performed before she died. Again she made the effort to speak and failed, and the sur geon warned them that her life was ebbing fast; but the consent which she could not voice found expression in an inflection of the head. Then the clergyman, with his robe stained from the wound he had received, stood over the couch of the dying woman w hose hand had sought that of her lover, and proceeded with the reading of the holy ritual in the apartment from which the slain had not yet been removed, and where the blood was still fresh and reeking. When he put the ques tion whether she w'ould have the man beside her for her wedded husband her attempt to answer brought, on the paroxysms of mortal dissolution. Foam flecked her lips and her face became ashen gray, but with a final and supreme exertion' she murmured, “I will.’” Christmas came in at midnight with the thundering diapason of the never silent cannonade, and the morning sun broke upon the dead face of Margaret Pick ens de Rochelle. And this is the story told by the marble in the Christ church home of the silent majority and remembered by Charlestonians unforgetful of the beauty and grace of the daughter of South Caro lina's first war Governor. HE APED THE PARSON TO HIS FACE. A Baptist Church Torn into Factions by an Elocutionist’s Joko. From the Few York Morning Journal. Philadelphia, April SU. —The congrega tion of the Spruce street Baptist church is at daggers drawn. The trouble had its birth during a recent entertainment in aid of the Sunday school library fund. It was a musical and literary entertainment, and one of the chief features was readings and recitations by a certain Prof. McCuen, an elocutionist. The professor was warmly received, and each effort was applauded to the echo. At length he announced that he would depict several styles of preachers. He started off with what was considered a capital representation of the Southern negro parson, giving the dialect admirably and delivering a short discourse that was in imitably funny. Then ho essayed two or three other imita- tions, each characteristic in its way, and concluded with a picture of the preacher from the backwoods of the wild West —the preacher wiio lacks education, hut who has receiv'd what ho believes to be a call from on high to go forth and preach the gospel, and has gone and done his lest. W hen he announced this imitation there was a flurry hi the congregation. It at once struck the memoers of the church that the mimic was about to strike near home. The pastor, the Rev. Charles W'. Thomas, i seeiin., is just tic sort of preacher the pro fessor described, a man who ,Ic]lends more on his apt and original similes, his tors.*, homely expounding of the truth than upon colic " training or deep learning. He, too. came in on the West, having for merly been, lie, .ting to all reports, a sturdy hlacksinitl , who was culled from his place at the anvil to point out the way of salvation. When, therefore, the professor announced his concluding character the congregation took a long breath and waited ex|ieetttut!y. Their fears were realized. 1 lie imitation of tlicir pastor was true to life; it trifle ex aggerated, perhaps, “ little bit caric’tturtsl, maybe, Iml the salient I'caiUiSM of the shep herd of this flock were all there. The re prnduet ion was perfei't, and us a mutter of cour e it was easily recognized.

Struck a Pocket. Prom the Overland Monthly. However it might be, the tiding of a pocket struck at the southern bonier of Ihe canyon flew hither and thither with unex plainable celerity; and about midday, when as usual Mark should have 1 ui unobserved, except perhaps by one or two of his own party, upon chancing to look up from the bottom of his pit, he saw that quite a little fringe of spectators hart collected around the edge of lbs claim and were intently observ ing his labors “Turning out trumps, i.4 it ;” said a sol emn, sallow-faced man, breaking the silence. “The very place I thought of dig ging in, myself—only I didn’t.” j Upon that, one or two others in substance/ said the same thing. In fact it was aston -j ishing to find how many men there wore whd had originally comtemplated locating upon that very 10 feet, square of valley-bed, Dui somehow had neglected to do so, after all Now with bitter regret and self-objurgatio* they mourned over their ill fortune; and I the present operation should turn out favor ably, there was no doubt that each one It them would thenceforth treasure up tie matter As au additional grievance, addiig it to sundry other instances wherein he im agined that, he had made hair-breadth es capes from affluence. Meanwhile, as the new-s continued to spread still more widely, the little crowd of spectators constantly increased, and (he place grew clamorous with criticism and suggestion;almost at once broken in lijon by a cry of surprise as, at the bottom! of the pit, Redfern was seen lifting up to the light a piece of nearlj- six ounces, just un earthed by a fortunate stroke of the pic*. Upon this, a tall, dark man, who kitjier to had not spoken, became aroused into Hid den action and clambered hastily down into the hole. . “You don’t know mo,” he said to Mirk, “but that does not matter. Have only just come in from the Stanislaus. There 1 tad a good stroke of work, netting SB,OOO. .Be fore that was at Mariposa, and there lost a little. A good stroke of work I say; buj, to tell the truth, I don’t work at all. I trfcvel around, and look where others are digging; and when I see what seems a good location, I buy it up on speculation if I can, and hire someone rise to finish cleaning it out foi'me. Sometimes I make and sometimes 1 lose; but more often I make, for I have a pretty good eye at a bargain —Now then, how much will you sell out for*” “How much will you give" said Mark. “For as I have not put the claim into the market, I take it that you should fix a value upon it yourself” “Right said the man. “Well then, will $5,000 do it?” Mark paused and pondered. Story of a Murder. Prom the Harrisburg (Penn.) Telegraph. “Some years ago,” said the old attorney, as he tilted back in his chair and put his feet on the table to rest himself, “there was a murder trial in Harrisburg, and I was as signed with another attorney to defend the men ou trial. They had killed an old fanner —a most unprovoked and cruel murder, from which they reaped no plunder—and while we defended them to the best of our ability the evidence was against us; they were convicted and sentenced to bo bang'd. Just before the execution one of the con demned men confessed the murder to me and told me that while he was one of the active participants, yet the awful job had been put up by his condemned partner and a man who was at large in the streets of Harrisburg. He told how the fellow who was not arrested had planned the murder, arranged all the preliminaries, and then sent him and his companion todo the crime. Furthermore, he told me that this same man who got off the train late at night into a wagon ou pretense of taking him to the place he was seeking and, instead of doing so, took him across the canal bridge at Market street, knocked him on the head, robbed him, and then buried the body in Cameron’s woods, near the Poorbouse. Ho gave the exact location of the burial, and a party of men made search, but could find no buried body. “While i believe the man was telling the truth, yet I think ho was mistaken as to the location of the burial. The men were hanged, and in time forgotten. One day I stood ou the hack porch of my residence, when the rear gate to the yard opened and there step ped in the man who had planned the murder for which my client was executed. He did not see me, and he slouched up through the yard, looking furtively right and left, but not ahead. As he neared the porch he look ed up and his eyes mrt mine. He halted as if paralyzed, and if ever a colored man turned white that man did. He grew ashy pale, his limbs trembled, he did not sav a word. He turned face to the gate, hobbled slowly down the yard, went out and closed the gate aud the scene ended. I hadn’t saida word to him. “Why did he do so? The wretch knew that the man who was hanged had told me all about the murder, and my unexpected appearance had made him completely terror-stricken. Yes, the man is still living. Let him live. There is a here after. Have a light—your cigar has gone out..’’ There are more things, etc., Horatio, etc. BROW I RON BITTERS.
