ROMANTIC INCIDENT, &c. &c. &C.-The
Quebec and Montreal papers are in sad fdgets
to know the origin of certain story which all
the papers of the Union, with a few excep-
tions, have lately copied. They grave'y assure
the public that the individual called the erich
and beautiful Kate ST. Pierre" never existed,
and all the stuff about the young Middy's be-
havior at the great fire; how for instance he
tied his coat, "which was frock," to his left
foot and passed the lady ten feetto the ground
while he held on with admirdhIe GOODNESS to
the burning rafters. S5o., &C., &C., was, and
must have heon a deliberate hoaG, got up by
se...o Yankee Editor. We have to tell those
gentlemen, that the very first time itappeared
before the public, was in the columns of the
Journal. Since then, our worthy contempt
rares North, East, South and West, have
been approprIating it to their columns without
asking US any leave, or giving us any credit
1t serves them right. Perhaps they will now
do US the additional favor of publishing thi.
brief, but terrible exposure.

The Editors of the N. o. Times have seen
a letter from the city of Mexico. dated the 9Th,
which makes no mention of Paroles impris-
onment, and are therefore inclined to doubt
the correctness of the information contained
in the letter from Vera Crnz.
By our last accounts, Paroles has left the
captol on the 3Ist ult., at the head Of 1900
troops, whence it must be presumed that he
was pretty far advanced on his way to .she
North when the revolution broke out. But
this is a matter of little moment.

Of honorable pride with which the citizens Of

her, is fast disappearing, at the more pressing
call of local Interests. Marion. DARLINGTON and
Sumpter, no longer look to Charleston! AT this
moment they are planning, and will soon car

must be equally disastrous to
her, and bene fetal to US. We fear, notwith-
standing their activity, they are not fully SEN
sible of the capacity of these districts, to act
independently. We are advised, however,
that the spirit manifested at the Marion Con
vention is yet fully alive, and on the increase.
Letters from that section assure US that more
than enough has already been collected for
the survey of the middle route. The survey.
ors are engaged, and by this time have proba-
bly, commenced their operations. We do not
perceive how, after the pledges we have en-
tered into with these people, the citizens of
Wilmington can now turn their attention to
any other scheme. We stand pledged to car
ry the Road from this place to Fair Bluff, and
if Charleston will meet us there, the interests
Of all would be equally consulted, and no
pledges broken. We presume that the very
intelligent men who have been appointed in
Charleston TO enquire into tine proper route,
will see the propIiety of suggesting one to
Fair Bluff. A road in that direction would
avoid the unhealthy districts on the seaboard,
and add another link TO that magnificent en-
terPrise SO strenuousIy advocated by the la
mented Ilayne. In this connection, we would
call attention to the second letter of DR.. HoRT.
which will be found to contain much valuable
and interesting information.
