The MERRY TAR or THE MAGNOLIA. Our
readers will remember the account We gave last
Monday, Of an elopement in Florida, and Of the
wedding and other lively things that took place on
board the steamship Magnolia during her trip To
this city. more concise account of the proceed
| ings in Florida is published in the Tallahassee
Floridian Of the 2lst inst. The following is what
the Floridian has to say about ii:
Pass THEM RouSp-A certain Professor ],
Samuel Wilson who has been making balloon as
| tensions throughout the country and who favored
the good people Of Tallahassee with spectacle Of
that sort on Thursday the 18th instant, proves to
| be villalnous rascal, more derserving coat of
Tar and feathers nothing worse, than the counte-
nance and patronage of the public. He had with
| him young woman, whom he passed off Is q Miss
| Way, but who was young girl, about IL years old
the daughter OF Mr.. Twitty, Of Southern Georgia.
and who had been stelen by Wilson and young
| man travelling with him BIZ the name Of Sibley
They were followed TO this place by the brothern-
law OF the girl from Thomasrille, who arrived here
before the parties left in the cars for St Marks On
| Sunday morning.
| On reaching the depot, he saw lis sster-in.law
seated in one Of the cars, but very foolishy said
nothing to the other passengers or by-standers on
the subject. Had he made known the facts, the
| professor and his comrade would soon have found
| themselves in rough hands. As it was, be spoke
only to the girl, who declined returning with him.
and the train soon left for ST, Marks with the abb
ductors and the abducted. They went off on the
steamer for New Orleans, which touched at Apa-
lachcola and Pensacola. The brother-in-laW tele-
graphed to Apalachicoa to have the parties stop
ped, but as the wires were down west Of Quincy
| the message did not reach there in time.

sometimes went up in the balloon, but generally
did the advertising part of the business. This part
ner was left behind by Wilson, and was here as
late as Thursday, without, as he said money Or
friends his associate having carried of everything
money, balloon and all, including block and
tackle which had been borrowed for temporary
use from one Of our mechanics. He was very
anxious that we should give his partner g notice
and expressed the hope that the Mobile, New Or
leans and Georgia papers would copy it for Will
sons benefit. Morat professed entire innocence of
all participation in the theft of the girl though he
| must have known of it,
From what we heard Of the doings on board
ship, Sibley was the man who married the girl:
but our informants stated that there was quite 4
row between him and the balloon man for posses
sion Of the girl, before the wedding took place.
The whole aspect Of the business is, from what we
heard and published, and from what the Floridian
publishes, that Wilson and sbley together stole
| the girl, and that Wilson afterward attempted to
| steal the girl from sibley.
