going to Charleston, the conductor of the cars
made a fuss because they did not each have a

said that they had slways been carried on the
ticket of a single passenger. The conductor re-
piled that they were two persons, and occupied

MARRIAGE VALID By ME8E AeRkENExT.-A
case has just been decided, in indianapolis, by
which it is declared that marriage in Indiana re-
quires no fOrmaities to make it illegal, except the
mere agreement of the parties; that It is a civil
contract emily, and differs from the other civil
contracts merely in this-that it cannot be dis
solved, even by mutual consent.

MORAL EFFEcrs OF THE Play OF "CANLLR"-
A Dreadful MurdeT.-Yesterery a most vile
murder was committed in house of ih-tame, on
Basin street, Gate St john between Perdido
and Gravier streets. The victim is young man
named Louis Bryant, from Mobile, 1t IS said he
is respectfully connected. Whenhe came to this
city he obtained employment as a clerk in an
extensive dry goods and fancy store, but becom-
ing acquainted with a woman of bad repute
named Emma Pickett, his intimacy lapsed into
infatuation, and neglecting his business, he lost
place as a clerk at once with his position lnSocl-
ETY.. Finally, after seeing the play of
several times performed, he concluded. that he
could trust his happiness to the safe keeping oil
Emma, and so married herl
Since that time Emma has figured as proprt-
etreSs of a house of ll-EaTpe and Bryant as "her
man. On Sunday morning the house was Wis
iited by a rowdy crew, consisting of Charles
Golfer, William Demo and one Skillings.. They
twere somewhat intoxicated, and behaved very
rudely, especially Golfer, who quarreled with
one ofthe women, and amused himself in fright
ening the others by pointing his revolver at
| them. They of course screamed and ran, and
Emma entered for the purpose of restoring quiz
eft threatening to go for the police unless her
visitors conducted themselves like gentlemen
This induced Golfer to become extremely a6n-
siye, calling Emma foul names, and inviting her
to bring out her bully, (meaning Bryant,) and
she would see some sport.
In the mean time Bryant, who was in an ad-
Joining room, opened the door to see what was
the matter, when at once Golfer turned the cur
trent of abuse on him, calling him all of the black
est names in the vocabulary of blackguardism.
Bryant told him to go away; that he did not
want to have anything to do with him, and as
he did so, Golfer advanced on him and struck
him in his face. One of the women then tried
to pull theinfuriated Fuffian away, but he push
ed her aside with a bloody threat, and stated
with an oath that he intended to kill the son
ola ~" He then drew his revolver and fir
ed, the bullet entering the left side of Bryant's
head just above the ear. The wounded man
reeled and fell, and as it closed the murderer
discharged another shot, which passed through
a panel and went harmless on. Golfer and his
friends then escaped, but the noise OF the firing
had attracted the attention of the police, who
succeeded in a~rresting Golfer and Demo. Demo
is the min who was indicted as one of the par
ties concerned in the murder of the Greek sailor
Geronimo Dimitry, and who with Forbes, his
associate, } was sometime since admitted to
bail. As he was running, he threw away a set
of metal knuckles, which has since passed into
the hands of Corporal Hyatt.
After the escape of the trio, Bryant was ex-
amined and found to be fatally wounded. He
was taken to the Circus street Infirmary, with
brain and blood coming commingied from his
fwound. AT the Infirmary he fingered till 8
o'clock last night, when death put a period to
his career on earth.

NEBRASKA CIrY, NEBRASKA TERRITORY, /
naAanher % I

.
Since my last, 1 have made a partial tour of
the Territory, embracing a scope of country "
ing South of the Platte river, and East of the
9Th Principal Meridian, which extends about
go miles westward from the Missouri river.
After1eaying Nebraska City, we passed over
"a beautiful rolling priarie, about 8 miles IN
width. all dotted over with claim houses, some
of which are quite substantial, and even taste
ful, especially those that are built in the cottage
STYLE which is the style best adapted to this
prairie country. After passing a small creek, on
which there are already some fine farms and
substantial fences, all giving evidence of thrift
and progress, we passed over some. beautiful
fertile bottom landtof about four miles in width
bordering on the north branch of the Wemeha,
all of which is occ5pied-by squatters, withtheir
broad acres of corn, and scores of cattle and
hogs, all gives evidence of thrift and pros
perity among the settlers on the Wemeha
We regalsd ourselves or the staple articles of
provisions in the Territory viz: corn bread and
pork, with some various articles for dessert, such
as pumpkin pie, milk and molasses. About ten.
miles further we crossed the big Wemeh river;
a stream about fifteen yards wide, with a rapid
current; at this crossing there is a town site
called Tecumseh, which is the county seat of
johnson county, and is a thriving place. From
this place westward to the Blu river the prairie
is rolling but generally fertile and as vet but
~sparsely settled. On Salt creek, "a tributary of
the Platte river,) there are some fine settlements;
at this place there are some salt springs, which
are becoming celebrated, and may form ut some
future day the neucleus of a city that will rival
Saratoga 1t was to this vicinity that the capt.
tai of the Territory was to Relocated if removed
from Omaha aslH
Between the source of this creek and the
source of the Weeping-water river there is but
three miles of "diYide" intervening. Along the
WeepiDg-watcr there are some thriving places.
This stream has a fine bottom on both sides of
about one mile in width, and of unusual
fertility. 1t will he all settled in a very short
time. We arrived in Nebraska city about the
time our district court commenced. There are
about two hundred cases on the docket, some of
them are cases of much interest. His Honor
Samuel w. Black, presides with dignity, and is
winning golden opinions from all parties. Our
winter is SO far very mild, and it is presumed
that we will have a very mild winter. The
Missouri river has not yet closed, and the Ne
braska steam ferry boat plies regularly, carry
ing passengers aud produce without intermis-
sion. This is one of the best ferry boats on the
river and Nebraska city is one of the most flour
ishing towns on the Missouri river.
The Territorial legislature is in session but
have heard of no business being transacted as
yet. In my next l will give you the proceed
ings of the legislature in full.
Yours truly, "REGAL."

TIE ARA OF CrAH.-It may be a matter of
someinterest to our readers to know something
of comparative extent of that Territory of the
United States, whose chief officer is bidding de-
iance to our government According to Col
ton, the area of Utah is 269, TO square miles.
To engineers and a few Others this gives a just
idea of its vast extent, but the majority of peo-
pie will form a better estimate by being told
.thatit is as large as the whole of the New Eng
land States, New York, New Jersey, PennsyE
yania, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. Or to compare it with European eoun-
tries, it is equal in extent to Great Britain and
Ireland, Switzerland, PRUSSIA and Denmark, with
the Islands of Guernsey, Jersey, and Man, and
the Ionian island added.
