Drdr Messrs Editors:
There are some things which
memory loves to dwell on. For ms
lance those things which diyests the
mind of all earthly cares. When
mingling with the. young and gaywe
forget old age and all the troubles
that have pursued us through life.
When enchantinent bewilders the i'm
%agination and true happiness decks
the brow of an. Such an occasion |
had the good fortune to witness on the
first of May-but Yesterday, | mean
the wedding of MIR. OsciR DurUy to
Miss ELoDlE LANDRY.
The groom Mr.. D---of the parish
of lberville a fair specimen Of the
creole, q fine figure, elegance of man
ners, richly endowed by physical as
well as mental requirements, as the
.judicious selection he has made in a
spouse will amply prove.
Miss L, with whom | am init
pmately acquainted, pf medium height
possesses charms seldom combined in
one person. Her smile, her eye, her
hand, her elevated forehead all bes-
peak in term and collectively q fine
sample of Gods own make.
"Oh happy! Twicp happy is he,'
The groom-Masie- Oscar DuruY.
The taste displayed in her attire
is not for me to do justice unto. Some
mighty pen welded by some Gigan-
tic Bard, may invoke the Muses.. 1
modestly, decline the description.
Some of the adjoining parishes
were represented to wit: St. James,
Iberville and East Baton Rouge. st.
James fair representative the young
and lovely Miss Bid whose ma
ieslic form, Queen like movements,
caused many an eye to sparkle with
joy. .
tberviffe always has maintained,
and ever will, her quota Of trancend-
ant beauties. | regret exceedingly
not knowing the names of the beau
tiful Ladies who had the honor to
represent her. However of one can
speak of the amiable and lovely Mrs.
G. l.. by all of those to whom she is
known, ever will she be remembered
for many reasons.
Now to return to West B. Rouge,
the Misses L--ys the BRIDES maids.
Who is the young man who has a
heart that did not behold and WOO?
The Misses Bid were there;
their reputation has already been
established. Nothing that | could
say would enhance it. As a proof
can only cite you many a victim who
signs secretly that he cannot be the
happy elect.
Miss Dr. who never fails to
make q lasting impression was there
and many were they who surrounded
her--I could not learn wether she had
been captured or not.
could 90 on ennmerating for an
hour. but why should l.? Did not God
make the women!
The dinner was magnificent, the
wines of the rarest brands; nothing
in a word vas wanting.
The whole concluded with a Ball,
which lasted until two in the morn
ing when all were 10th to part.
The bride however did not forget
you. for accompanying is a peace of
the wedding cake
Yours respectfully

The Mobile Register of Friday, says:
Yesterday, the annual celebration
Of the establishment ofthis excellent
order in our city, took place with ap-
propriate and imposing ceremonies.
A large procession, embracing the
delegates to the Grand Division of the
State Of alabama, now in session in
this city, and the several local asso-
Citations, was formed, and marched to
the Government street Church, where
an eloquent and impressive discourse
was delivered by w. G. Clark, Esq. It
then continued through our principal
streets, with banners displayed, to the
music of an excellent band, and re-
turned to the hall in the Barton AGA
denny. We are glad to perceive the
fourishing condition Of this noble
institution and trust that it may go
on prospecting, and to prosper until
the last vestinge Of intemperance
shall be removed from our city and
State.

LAwLEss STATE OF THINGS IN PHnLA-
DELpHlA.--The southern part ofPhila-
delphia during Saturday night and
Sunday, the Goth and 21st inst, was
kept in a constant state of ferment
and alarm by Iawless characters.
The continual firing of guns and pis-
tolls, riotous collections of young men
and boys, drunken brawls, and pitogl-
ed fights, were among the d~isgraceful
things heard and seen. The North
American says:
At an early hour on Sunday NOR
ming an ]unoccupied frame building,
near the Moyamensing prison, was
fred by incendiaries and burned.
The house Of the poor man, who re-
Gently incurred the ~displeasure of
some young Williams, adjoining the
building set on fire, and the occupant
of the tenement was forced to flee
from his house with his family, some
of whom made a narrow escape,
leaving the house a prey to the
flames, and losing part of his goods.
AT this fire only two hose companies
were in service. A large party of
fremen belonging to Moyamensing
came upon the ground, armed to the
teeth, but finding no one that they
wanted TO fight with, some of them
discharged their guns in the air.
At a late hour on Sunday after
noon two gangs of rowdies called
"Bouncers' came in collision at Third
and Plum streets, Southwark. This
riot was promptly suppressed, and
two of the ringleaders arrested and
locked up.
About the same hour a deadly bat
tie was fought on the open grounds
in the vicinity of Schuylkill Second
and South streets, between two 9TH
er gangs-the STARS and Monntain-
GERS. Firearms we're used, and sew
raj wounded. A young man was ta-
ken to the drug store, shot in the
arm. We heard of no arrests.

THE FLORIDA lNpIANs.--By the arri-
val Of the steamboat Monmouth from
Indian river, at Savannah, the Geor-
gian has accounts which confirm
those received here by the Fashion,
as to Billy Bow Legs determination
not to cmigrate. The Georgian, af-
ter announcing the arrival ofo the
Monmouth, says:
She brought a number Of passen-
gers, including several officers ofthe
army in Florida. We have not OBJ
tanned much news by this arrival, but
sufficient to satisfy us, in connection
with news direct from Tampa, that
The Indians have determined not to
remove peaceably. Billy Bow Legs
has evacuated bis town with his fol-
lowers, and with Sam Jones, has re-
tired into the southern extremity of
the Everglades, where they are per-
fectly secure from the operations of
the army during the summer.
The Georgian adds the following
extract from a letter from a gentle
man in Florida, well acquainted with
the movements Of the Indians and the
army, since the first outbreak:
Gen. Twiggs is a first-rate man
but the Indians wont 90. They are
making fun of the gentry sent to re.
move them. The Indians never in,
tended to go-they ire smart, and
are fooling the army. Gen. Bow
Legs is some. lie has got clear OF
the crying widows of flle grabbed
indians, and a few old grand dads
sold his fat hogs, received agood sup
ply of blankets--but he cannot come
in, for his "chiId is burnt until it gets
well. A scout recently sent to look
after him, found his town deserted.
Gen. Sam Jones is in the Big Cypress
where regulars are not prepared to
follow him. The army will have to
remain mere thfs summer, and the
State will drive the Indians into them
next winter.

RAILROAD CONNECTION. W.T. NEW
YoRK.--There are three gaps in the
railroad communication from Mobile
Bay to New York, on all of which
there are works commenced for COM
pleting the connection. These are
from Mobile to Girard, in Georgia.
This, the Columbus (Ga.) Times in
forms US, is getting ahead under the
finest auspices. The second is the
connection of Columbus, (Ga.) with
Macon, G., which is almost complet-
ed. The third is the avoidance of the
sea trip between Charleston, S. c.,
and Wilmington, N, c., by the ex-
tension of the Camden sroad to Will
'mington. The distance is 1872 miles,
and fifty miles will be opened for ira
vel by thee,1st January next. The
remainder is all under contract, (6f-
teen miles only excepted and rapid
progress anticipated.
This second route will meet in con-
nection with the Montgomery and
West Point Railroad, which by next
year will be extended through and
connect with the Georgia Railroad,
where, without waiting for the Girard
road, there will be a complete com
munication from Montgomery to New
York, making the regular trips in
less than four days.
