An Elopement Extraordinary,

Our city has been rife with rumors for the past two days of one of the most extraordinary elopments that has ever been known to this sec ton of country, from the responsibility and high standing of the parties concerned, and the unruly tongue of dame rumor has been busy circulating a thousand and one reports. We have been desired to withhold from publication the particulars of this most distressing affair. which has thrown very large and wide circle ot friends and acquantances into the deepest distress, but we opine that a statement of the facts III tho case will be productive of much less harm than the almost innumerable rumors that are in circulation and spreading with cleo trlc speed all through the country, becoming more and more exaggerated as they travel from tongue to tongue.
 The facts as near as we can gather them are these On Friday last Mir. Samuel s. Rembert, one of the wealthiest and most respected plan ters in this county; living on Big Creek about twelve miles from this city, went to the house of Dr. A. B. c. Dubose, one of his most inti- mate friends, and relation we understand, and under pretence of taking young daughter of Dr. D's to store to make her present, took her in his buggy and the two rode off Towards night the girls parents manifested some unea- slness at her long stay, and upon making inquiry as to her whereabouts it was found that they had disappeared very mysterously, and alrwas in mystery and doubt. The next day it was ascertalned that the parties had gone off in the direction of the Mississippi river in carriage, hired for that purpose from livery stable in thls city. From the driver of the carriage it was learned that he had taken them to the river above Randolph. On Saturday evening Dr.. Dubose received letter from Rembert. written K c,1lo
 ot that letter we are not at liberty to give. We have since learned that Mir. R.. and the vonno lady took passage on the D. A. Given. which boat left here on Friday evening, bound up the Ohio river
 MT. Rembert is married man and leaves a wife and seven children, the youngest about six weeks old his wife being daughter of Mai. Duncan of Raleigh, highly respectable family. The young lady Is only in her thirteenth wear the daughter of wealthy and as a respectable family as any in the State, having large circle ot relations and friends throughout the county That MT. k. had contemplated this affair and laid his plans before hand there can be little doubt lie had been making preparations to % to Texas for some time and had when he left. it IS said, some, 10 or $12,OOO It is supposed by many that he will now make for that State.
 Mrs. Rembert is in the deepest distress, be- ing nearly deranged from grief. Dr. Dubose and family are almost crushed down in their afhictions, and the deepest emotion and feeling pervades the whole community
 We learn that Col E. M. Yerger, received a dispatch from MT. s. s. Rembert yesterday. stating that he was in custody at Hickman, and requesting him (Col. Y.) to come up on the first boat and to bring along with him Hon. J. c. Jones, Col. Dupree, and Dr. Dubose, the father of the young lady.-.Meu.pAis W1Hg. 1etA ua.
