The Law of Marriage in South Cdrolina.-To
the Editor of the Boston Cotrier:-In the Boston
Courier of June 4, some observations are made'on
the law Of marriage in South Carolina. Itis sup
posed TO be, in some sort, peculiar; and il Is re-
marked that "South Carolina is free Stats in
this respect, emphatically," It is true, that in
that State the presence Of q clergyman is not ne
cessary to the validity Of marriage, and that it
is sufficient that the parties co1sent in the Pres
enee Of competent witnesses Such Is the law Of
Scotland, as will be- seen in the elaborate judg-
ment Of Sir William Scott, in Dalrymple rs. Dal-
rympie, Haggard's Consistory Reports, and, un.
dl the Council Of Trent, it was the ancient gener-
al law of Europe that o contract per yer6a pa
presenti lin presence of witnesses) constituted
valid marriage without The Intervention Of
priest, -,
But if in South Carolina the road to matrimony
is easy and inviting, there is no passage out Of it
but through the portals Of the grave. An instance
Of divorce has never been known in South Caro-
lima. 1t has been suthoritstively settled that no
judicial tribunal in the State has authority to de-
clare decree Of divorce for any cause whatsoev-
er If the power exists at all il is in the Legisa-
ture, which has hitherto never, thought proper to
exercise the power. ...... -
Further, it has been determined by the Courts
of South Carolina that q marriage solemnized in
that State is indissoube by the sentence Of any
Court in sister State so as to effect the rightsor
condition Of the parties in South Carolina. 1t
will be seen, then, that It is much easier to tie
the knot than to undo it. With rare exceptions, the
ceremony ofmarrisgs is, in fact, performed BY
clergyman; but the indissolubility Of the mar
riage contract is not only part Of the law ,;but
is the fixed and habitual sentiment Of the commu-
nifty on the, subject of divorce. The policy Of the
State is probably peculiar; but Isuppose there is
no matter of law, morals or politics, upon which
more perfect unanimity prevails, and has always
prevailed. PUBLIUS.

BROKE JAIL.

JOHN JONAS alias, JOHN ABLE, who was arrested
and lodged in Jail some weeks since on charge
of stealing saddle from Mr.. JNo. D. McCoN-
NELL, made his escape on Saturday night last
He cut through the ceiling of his cell with knife,
broke off the plaistering, passed out into the pas
sage, and descended to the ground by means of
blankets.
For the information of all concerned, and for
the special edifcation of our Sheriff, he left be-
hind him the following rich document We give
it verbatim
gentle men when you put hog up to fatten al
ways put abot tom in your pen for fear yore hog
might root out never build your pen out of corn
stalks or else your hog will knaw them in two an
when YOU put aman in Jail never build your Jail
out of clab boards and bird trap sticks if you want
to no where lam Just come down to york shire
there you will find me picken chinkapins to pay
tax and law yer to plead for all the cracks and
when the lawyers finds aflaw then the Judge like
any Jack daw will lay down what is law this
place york is mighty fine place for they will skin
ahee for the hide an tallow want you to answer
nv letter if you pleas direct your letter to lncorn

horse town you cant get this fox eny more
you cant drive him under your trap then push ii
down on him you must Bait with gold next time
rab bit ye Bet thick as ten humble bee in pun,
kin bloom
Without doubt, ABLE was furnished with the
knife by parties on the outside, and also assisted
to make good his escape. Before leaving the
Jail, he furnished some half dozen papers to ne
gro belonging to Mr.. J. H. FAULKNER, and it wa:
his intention to assist the negro TO make hi:
escape but finding he had no time to lose, "lef
him alone in his'-cell.
Capt. ST1LLwELL, our Sheriff, proposes to pay
$50 for the arrest of the scoundrel. For particu
lars read the advertisement.

PROSPERITY OF THE ORDER.

Mr.. Editor For the information of sister To-
calities and our own mutual good, we take plea
sure in stating that the members of Union Divis-
ion, No. A, Sons of Temperance, at their last
meeting, considered the propriety of communica.
ting through the columns of the ENoU1RER, the
progress Of the Order las suggested by 'Pilgrim'
as being productive of life to the career oftem-
perance, and worthy the notice Of the several Di'
visions within the District. Also, at the same
time, and in connection with the above, that the
writer be appointed to communicate through the
medium mentioned, facts relative to the state OF
Temperance in our jurisdiction. .
We would simply remark then, in performing
the duty assigned US, that the Sons of Union N-
vision, were never in more hopeful condition
than at present. Though they may have had at
one time, larger number in membership-and
like Brazilian gems in the auriferous sands of
California, or the humming spindes Of America s
Lowell, presented quite brilliant appearance
yet at no anterior period had we stronger evil
dence of their success in the cause of temperance
than to-day. The Order may, nevertheless, 90
down, enshrouded in oblivion of forgetfulnessa,
"unwept, unhonored and unsung," but remnant
-consoling thought will be left to bear with
songs to the lips of angels above and they to the
omnipotent throne of God, the principles of total
abstinence.
Two years and three months ago, dated the ORR
gin of the temperance reformation in our commu-
nity-the commencement of hostile warfare
with "Mr. Alkey." Where and how it shall end, is
subject we shall not call in question. However,
we think the ''star of temperance" in the ascen-
dant, and with Captain BROWN, our faithful Wor-
thy Patriarch at the head, will extinguish, ere it
wanes, the last enemy in the field.

EUROpEAu NEWS.

During the week there have been several ar
rivals from Europe. The steamer. Brerne" arrived
at New York on Monday last, with dates from
Liverpool to the 18th instant The cotton market
was very dull but steady, and eighty in favor of
buyers ~
By the arrivals mentioned, we learn that the
Austrians evacuated Milan on the 9th instant.
The details of the battle of Magenta are slowly
received, and have not changed the trst complex
ion. The loss was undoubtedly severe on bosh
sides. The Austrian official account only ao,
knowledged from four to FIVE thousand killed ana
wounded, and says that the Allies lost han as
many more The Austrian headquarters were
near Cremona They had been driven from Mang.
non by Burguay D'Hilliers, who had captured
1900.
The latest accounts say that the Allies were ad,
yaneinp from Milan, and that Prussia showed
signs Of aiding Austria.
1t was reported that the Prussian army would
soon be mobolized, and that Prussia would take
part in the conflict. She is said to be negotiating
for the passage Of her troops through Germany.
The Austrisns were at Lodi and the Allies were
advancing.
Garibaldi had beaten an Austrian force at Bres,
cia with 500 Zouaves. The Austrlans lost loUo
men, and 1900 were taken prisoners. The oattie
lasted nine hours.
The armies were preparing for another general
engagement. ,o,
The official Austrian correspondent Of the 10th,
states that the Austrian army was continuing 70
retreat beyond the Ada.
A special dispatch to the Times, says that On
the 9Th, the second Austrian Army had lts mead
QUARTERS at Condegno, on the Ada.
It turns out that Marshal Canrobert was not
wounded at Magenta. :.
All accounts give the glory OF the day to Gen.
McMahon, who disobeyed> orders but saved the
army. ,.
The Paris Moniteur of the 10th, contains the
following: >,
The concentration Of our troops on the Po, de-
ceived the eremy into the belief that we intended
to cross the river. On the morning OF the 4tt,
l25, 900 Austrians were in position opposite. The
Emperor and Grenadier Divisions. and Imperial
Guard, were obliged to fight this disproportionate
odds. All cur Generals displayed great energy.
The bulletin then describes the operation of Gen:
McMahan, who lost 1900 men, but put 10000
Austrians hors du combat, and made 5000 prison
ers. The Aastrians had four Corps dArmee en-
gagged. ..,
The bulletin sums up the result as follows:
Five days after our departure from Alessandria,
our army had three combats, gained one battle,
and freed Piedmont from the Austrians, who since
the battle of Montebello have lost 25, 900 killed
and wounded, 10000 prisoners and II cannon.
The defeat of the Austrians is said to have pro
duced an immense sensation in Germany. ::
1t is rumored that Napoleon will return to
France, leaving Pelissier as commander-in-chief.

A SHORT RESPONSE.

Whereas we see in the Enquirer Of the 18th in
slant, an article in reference to q meeting Of
the organization of the Sons Of Temperance at
Pine Grove, york District on the 9Th day Of
March, when and where it is said, "they were ad-
dressed by VIM. GREEN, ESQ.,, and A. HARDIN" ="
in which article, those gentlemen were highly
complimented. This correspondent says it is true
ssthat neither of the men are members Of the or
ganizaton of Sons, but they are enlisted in the
great cause and are fighting heroicaly for Tenn
perance principles, under the same banner, hence
their reward is sure"
The question then naturally arises, If they are
fighting under the same great banner 50 heroioal-
", why do they not attach themselves to the or
ganization of Sons (many such questions being
asked as orally us though they were unsnswera-
ble) and we offer the following reason as our ans-
wer: That we, with others, consider ourselves
already in advance Of that Organization, as we
consider that the Church Of Christ is first and a.
bove all other Institutions, and that it alone is
of Divine appointment and justly claims the frs:
and highest service of all, and that every Chris
tan Church is, for should be) temperance

LETTER FROM sPUNCH.n

RIPLEY Miss, June 18th, 1859.
Dear Euouirer:-rm so unfortunate. At times
it seems to me like might as well quit trying to
do anything at ALL for it has been try, try, all my
life, without ever accomplishing anything worth
q fig. And whether my misfortunes or ill-luck are
the result of my stupidity, or Of the craftness Of
others towards me, is more than can tell; but
one thing is pretty certain, that tits my "manifest
DESTINY" to fail whenever undertake to accom-
plish anything Of importance. And this is the
way with all the Punches. L never knew them to
do better than to commit one blunder after anoth-
er, all their lives, and finally, to die in the worst
blunder of all. And what makes this the more
surprising, is, that they are considered as being
generally smart, and some Of the older ones have
been thought even brilliant at times, but have
observed that. when this was the case most e.
gregious blunder of some sort, was sure to follow
But what my distress is about now, is, that great
and noble lady, Mrs. Weazle (and I think of the
name with reverence and repeat it with awe) has
been insulted, highly insulted, she Thinks because
happened to call her an sold lady" "Old, LADY,"
she repeated, and then let off torrent Of scalding
hot steam, which suppose must have continued
until the receiver was entirely exhausted, and
then she Gained down most beautifully. In the
mean time, though, she enquiries where got my
information about her age-recommends me to
read Chesterfield, &c. Now for her satisfaction,
A.
heroM but what gathered from her letters to you.
In one place, in speaking of herself, she says,
"years ago, when I was young &C.. in another,
"Im too DID," &c.; and in another place again,
she speaks Of having 'en living children" and if
I'm right, fire dead Now if this is true, I would
like if Mrs. Weazle would tell me how many in all
q lady of Columbia must be the mother Of before
she can bear TO be called old without getting mad
about it? But it was very foolish in me to take
her own words as evidence of her age, and if she
will graciously pardon me will inform your rea-
ders that the above items are all the proof have,
and they need not believe word of it, for sit
ain'f' so.
As for Chesterfield can tell the Oh nearly
aaid old) Mrs. Weazle, thatI have not only 'heard
of him but have read his book, but don't like it
bit. 1t may suit the aristocrats and absurd
pretenders about Columbia very we'll for aught
know, but Mississippi Hoosier has another way
of doing things. He looks upon his own dignity
forms his oUn rules of etiquette, and certainly
has as good right to practice them as the old
lord of England had to dictate rules for him-for
our fore-fathers "fought, bled and died" most
galantly, to throw off the British yoke, and did
it too but Mrs. Weazle, I suppose, would have
US bear it again. But as far as am able to
Judge, the hoosier rules are preferable to Ches-
terfeld's any how. They are more modern, ca
