fEr The musical world has been occupied

for great beauty. Her history is peculiar

for Italy, in order to complete the musical
education of her daughter. At Rome the
beauty and talents OF the young lady attract
ed the attention of young Russian noble
man, the Count Guerbel. As no other prop
osition but marriage was admissible, the
Count demanded Miss Wards hand, and they
were privately married at Rome. A short
time afterward the bridegroom disappeared;
and. after the most heartrending anxiety on
the part of the deserted wife aud her mother,
news was received of his return to Russia:
and when applied to for explanation of his
extraordinary conduct, he returned for an
swer that he considered himself free man,
not having been married in the Greek church,
aud that Miss Ward was also at liberty TO
marry whom she pleased, without any fear
Of mole>tation from him. The bitterness and
Indignation with which this communication
was received can be well imagined; but the

threats or contempt, she Immediately set forth

laid the case before the Emperor Nicholas,
who, Immediately sending for the Count, af-
ter administering reprimand, declared it
his imperial will that the marriage should be
performed In the imperial chap
Ell of the palace. This was accordingly done,
and Miss Ward became the Countess OF Guer-
bel TO all intents and purposes; but, the cere-
mony over, she withdrew, nor would she

THURSDAY, MAY IL, 1859.
n- Hon Fl. s. FoorE. of Mississippi has

non tOOTE. Oh DaS
written letter to the Vicksburg Wing in
which he says he will certainly not be
candidate" for Congress in that district. He
says he has no ambition TO participate promi-
nently in such struggles as are likely to
occur in Congress during the next two years.
He says be belongs to no party organization
now existing in Mississippi, and has mo
connection whatever with that wretched, con-
fused and fragmentary faction, ostensibly
acting under the lead Of JNo. SLIDELI. and
company, and yielding disgraccful support
to that unrighteous. corrupt, anti-demo-
cratic, anti-State-rights administration now
in power, of which JAMES BUCHANAN the
'6luest and most bIe0r-eyed Of tederalists' is the
chief, which has utterly broken down the
strength Of the democratic party; revived
and strengthened sectionalism in both
quarters Of the Union, and almost extinguish-
ed the hope of enlightened patriots every
where as to the perpetuity ofour free institu-
tons" He has changed his purpose since
he left this city few weeks ago, on the
subj CT of making the race for Congress. The
Opposition of Mississippi, will, however,
doubtless have the influence of his name and
his tongue in the approaching fall election
in that State, against the administration
and the sectional agitatOrs and disunionists
by whom he is surrounded.

SViolated PIedges.o

There can be no doubt that Gov. HARRIS
is seeking to make the slavery question the
paramount one in the present canvass. He
devotes, perhaps, one half or more of each of
his speeches to this subject. By its agitation
he hopes TO divert public attention from the
manifold sins of his party. In contrast with
this course, we beg leave to quote the follow
ing solemn declaration and pledge from the
Cincinnati Platform
''Ihdt The Democratic party triu resist all at
fernpts at T>DeacUg, IN CONGRESS OR OUT OF IT,
The agitation Of The SLAVERY question, UNDER WHAT
EVER SHAPE OR COLOR TINE ATTEMPT MAY BIZ

II there are any Democrats in Tennessee
who are willing to abide by and sustain the
declaration and pledges of the Cincinnati
Platform, let them set their faces against the
course pursued by Gov. HARRIS, who is en-
gaeei in violating and trampling it under

IL Is with the most lively acknowledgment

site the Superintendent OF the United States
Observatory and Photographed Office at
Washington, the tribute OF my respectful ad-
miration. The maritime conference at Brus-
sells, and the happy Influence which your Wis

pecially where your presence has been en-
joyed, have contributed TO spread your views
concerning the means of shortening the du-
ration Of voyages through seas traverssd by
currents. You are now enjoying the fruits Of
immense labors. rr

VS. The democratic papers and letter
writers are extollng Gov. HARRIS as the
greatest of men. They say he gains, in ev-
cry encounter, most decided victory over
Col. NETHERLAND. They regard Col. n. as a
very weak and superficial man, and in every
respect the inferior of the Governor. The
Memphis Enquirer takes very just and SEN
sible view of the matter. That paper thinks
they are attempting to play the "game of
Drag" the most important rule in which, is
nerer 10 expose yo,r hand. This rule they have
violated in the outset. They have published
Gov. HARRIss speech. If they had expected
TO impose upon the people the belief that
Gov HARRIS is giant, and Col. NEITHER
LAND pigmy, they ought to have kept their
speeches out of the newspapers. The people
might have been induced TO believe that he
had demolished his competitor, if his friends
had not committed the indiscretion of pub
fishing his remarks. But in doing so they
have shown in advance the groundlessness of
their assertions.
