o. A singular case recently occurred
mt Cincinnati in which one of the city
fathers, a Mr.. Johnson, has been held
for trial, first on the charge of unlawful
ly solemniZ NC a marriage, and second
" on charge Of assault and battery
upon the bride in an attempt to make
forcble separation. The married par
ties are Lieut.. Russell of the u. S. Ar
my, and Mrs Ellen M. Russell, lately
Mrs. Morrison. lady of about twenty
two or four years of age possessing con-
siderable beauty and since April last,
when she first came to Cincinnati had
been keeping Il confectionery and ice
cream saloon. The friends Of the Lieu
tenant charge that the alliance was ex-
ceedingiy i'll assorted, improper, and
had been brought about by the wiles
and seductive attractions Of the lady,
who il is charged administered drugs to
her lover, under the influence of which,
his friends insist he was married first by
the councilman and afterwards legally.
He, on the contrary, seems 10 have
thought it was very agreeable and salts
factory, though at the solicitation Of his
friends, after the marriage, he continued
to board nj the Burnet House fora time.
Mrs Russell, on Saturday, sought TO
have an interview with him but, while
absent, endeavoring TO obtain that inter-
view, Lieut.. Russell and some OF his ac-
quaintance visited her house where che
found them OH her return. He received
her with every token of affection, and
was pleasantly conversing with her
when a carriage stopped before the
dnor and instantly two OF the gentlemen
present took hold Of Lieut.. Russell and
forced him into the street. Mrs. Rus
sell clung to her husband until she was
on the sidewalk, when Mr.. Johnson, the
defendant seized her roughly round the
neck. tore her bonnet and dress, and
pulled her hair, in order to prevent her
entering the carriage, where her hus.
band had been placed. She managed,
notwithstanding, with some assistance,
TO release herself and Join him, when
they were driven TO the Burnet House.
Upon arriving there, Lieut.. Russell told
his wife TO hold OF to him, when several
persons again seized her and violently
:ore her from her husband. This time
they succeeded ia making the separation,
some taking the Lieut.. one way aud
some Mrs. X. the other. They subsc-
quently, however, were reunited, when
the suit for The assault was instigated
on their behalf, and the one for the iiIe-
gal marrying on the part Of the Lieu
tenant's friends.

absence, says that AT Milan he was put
under guard of soldiers and marched
to the police office, at midday on Sun
day, TO have his passport examined. be-
cause he was American; and that the
treatment towards American, by both
the NeapOlitan and Austrian officers is

d? Mr. Stanton Peckham, of this

Augusta, Georgia, where he is to take
charge ia large hotel which has Just
been erected there. Mr.. PCchham has
been connected with the large hotels,
during the summer season, in this place,
for the last eight years; and during
most of that time he has been chief
clerk Of the leIlcvuc House, where he
has become very popular with those
who have stopped there. He has given
the fullest satisfaction TO all who have
ever transacted business with him, and
thf boarders at the Bellevue will be sor-
ry TO lild him absent from his usual post
next simmer. He Is man of great in
tegrlt' Of character, and his sense oil
honor is us high az his general dcmean-
or Is frank and manly. He always says
what he thinks, in business matters, and
when he speaks he may always he most
confidently relied on. We have ev-
cry reason to believe that he will be
popular at the south: as proprietor of
the new hotel at Augusta. There is
no part OF the business that he d es not
most thoroughly understand; and this,
together with his untrng business hah-
It's, lrankness Of manner, promptness on
all occasions, and great kindness OF
heart must secure him a warm welcome
from the people ofthe South, who well
know how to understand and appreciate
such noble traits Of character. We
have long known Mr.. Peckham, and can
personally vouch for all that we have
said Of him. We wish him the most
abundant success, and, at the same time,
congratulate the people of the south up
on their good fortune in securing the
services OF so valuable Il man to take
charge of the new hotel at Augusta.
