Another Big Gun from the South.

The Mobile Herald publishes a letter
written by Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar, ex-
President Of Texas, in reply to an invita-
tion to attend the Macon (Ga., Disunion
Convention, which was held last week.
Lamaris a loud disunionist. Hear him:
"That we should desire to remain in the
Union under SO many circumstances Of
Outrage, defamation and contumely, and
with the certainty too Of ultimate ruin, Is
a species of infatuation, Of insanity, as in
comprehensive to me as it is lamentable
But I am sure that the day Of our Olsen
thralment is drawing near, and that th'
| words secession, separation, disunion, which
are now SO appalling 10 the hearts of many
will become the common dialect Of ou
children-and till that day shall arrive,
can entertain but little hopesfor the South.

The Tragic Wedding.
BY A. BRADLEY DAVIS.


I am nc, professed story-writer, but there
are many tales that have listened to of the
early times, when the red man vainly striv.
ed, by wreaking his vengeance on the de-
fenceless settlers of our frontiers, to gain
the ascendencygone from him forever. These
tales are invariably interesting; first, be-
cause they are full Of thrilling incidents, and
then again, because they are true. g.s =
The story Of the tragic wedding is one
among the many that / have listened to
fom the lips Of an aged friend Of mine, a
pioneer in the settlements Of Northern Yer
mont, during the long November evenings
in 1884,, when banishing from my mind as
much as possible, the dogmas of the learn
ed commentator | betook myself to the
happy fireside, and gathered profit and recre-
alton from the old mans narratives. ts.
"Just fifty mine years ago this very night
began the old man one evening, ION the
identical spot where Squire P-'s house
now stands, occurred a tragedy, the Iemem-
brance which fills me with horror. II was

ENGLAND.-The effect which the death
Of the Ex-King Of the French, will have
on European politics, has been theme Of
much discussion in the English papers, and
i is generally thought that the event will
have the effect Of arousing the latent nm.
bition Of the Due de Joinville. The dis
pute now hanging in the bourbon family
is thought will be healed and an effort made
to put him ut the head of The French Re.
public. The proceedings at Washington
have also attracted considerable attention,
and the engrossment by the Sennte Of the
Fugitive slave bill have been strongly con.
demned. 1'fbe crops have been nearly all
harvested, and it is now confidently assert-
ed that there will be at least an average
crop Of grain and the potato crops are
much sounder than was expected, US
FRANcE.-The Consul general has
made strong movement in favor Of hay
ing the Constitution revised. The eonn-
Gil however does not propose to haye the
state of seige removed, nor are they viii
ling TO have the electoral laws repealed.
So there is not much sympathy between
| the council andthe socialists. The price
of Breadstuffs has advanced in Paris.---
Masses have been celebrated for the re-
pose Of tho soul Of Louis Philippe. It is

written to Monsieur Theirs to inform him

The Marshal finding how matters stood

from the sturdy brewers, thought discre.
