BIT OF RoMANcE.-A gentleman of the Second
District of this city was on board of the iltfated
steamer Arctic, when she was lost on the 9th of
| September 1854. The sad news reached here that
he was among the missing, and cast gloom in his
| household, for he had family-a young and pret-
| ty wife, and child. He was weto-do in the
world, and left property sufficient for their main
| tenance. Theyoung widow mourned her lost husband
sincerely, doubtless, but sorrow is not everlasting
| and as the long years rolled past, the mourning
weeds disappeared, the roses on her cheeks bloomed
| again, and smiles played on her rosy lips. She
| was young and pretty, and suitors not want
| ing. She married again. Several years quiet
bliss have passed since the day she took new COM
panon in lie, and now, suddenly the electric spark
| OF the telegraph, flying with the speed of light
ming, has struck the ediice of her happiness
struck at Its base, so as to make it totter and
| crumble. A dispatch from the New York received
| DAY before yesterday, announced the arrival of
the long lost first husband Clinging to some piece
of the wreck, he had foated to distant shores,
where for six long years he lived with the hope of
| meeting once more the beloved ones he had left
| at home, but unable to find homeward bound ves-
| sci. We hope to obtain particulars concern
ing his crueoe life; and of tho many hardships be
must have sutfered-all of which dWindle into mere
| nothingness at the thought of the disappointment
that awaits him on his arrival home. The feelings
| OF the twice welded wife may be better imagined
| than described.-N 0. Courier.
| From the " O. Bee, Aug 81
| We understand on reliable authority that the
survivor of the Arctic disaster, of whom we spoke
on Tuesday, will be in this city this evening. The
| person is Mr.. Fleury, who well known as hav-
ing kept the grocery at the corner of Orleans and
robertson streets, where his wife now resides
ohe married Mr. Fleury's chief clerk, Mr. Weber,
ana ana mas had three three children by him, Her two chill
oren py Mr. Fleury-a daughter of seventeen and
| son of fifteen-are now living with her
Last Saturday she received the first intimation of
the startling news of her husbands return, after an
| absence of five and a half years, in letter from
| him, dated at New York. lady friend, to whom
she showed the letter, reports the substance of it
to be that Fleury, with five other survivors of the
Arctic, were picked up from the fragments of the
| wreck by whaler, which kept on her long voy-
| age. This ship was subsequently sunk, and fifteen
| OF those aboard saved themselves upon the island
from which they were taken by another whaler,

war the only subject of discussion. The town is
now in occupation by the State troops-the liber-

offices are closed, the conservatives, officials and
troops have absconded. On the 9th inst, Inten-
dant Miramon Vieco the major commanding, and
300 troops, with few of the late Officials, departed
in the schooner Elizabeth, the property of Nicho-

merchants, and demanding of the Ameriran Con-

promptly refused to pay. The desire to retain his
own property gave much offence to the liberal gen.

| be sealed up-the seals bearing the consular arms.
Then with his flag hoisted, he trusted to the stars

GERS and people went to the consulate, and, under

SHORT CRoPs IN ALABAMA-DGs DGsTREssING INDICA-
TIoNs.-A Desire for the Governor to Assemble the
Legislature.-We have been receiving letters from
different sections of the State suggesting to the
necessity of the Governor calling the Legislature
| of the State together at an early day, to devise
some plan by which the people of the State can
! secure something to live on. We satisfied, un-
| less some action is taken during the summer and
| fall, that thousands of poor people in Alabama,
will actually starve. This is not from their indo-
lence, because people industrious peo-
| pie, they have all planted, but the drought has
| been severe to destroy their little crops and
| they have made nothing to feed their children
no wraught picture, if one half what we hear
is true, and we have every to believe it is
| Had Governor Moore expended the money he has
| in Connecticut for arms and munitions of war, in
Illinois for corn and distributed to the poor fam-
lies who in state of starvation, he would have
| been truly savior of the people and philanthro-
pist, and really, say it in all candor if Governor
| Moore would buy corn with the amount vet unex-
pended Of the 100000 appropriated by the last
| Legislature to buy arms to kill people with, and
distribute that corn to the Probate Judges of the
different counties of the State, for them to dstr-
| butte to the needy and poor, his name would go
down to posterity as the greatest and best man of
| this age. Governor Moore is of humane
feeling, and is over charitable, and we believe if a
general petition of the people of the several coun-
ties in this State was made to him to do this, we
| believe he would expend this money in this way.
Because, if our people starve there will be no use
for guns, swords, cannon, nor munitions OF war OF
any kind.-Selma (AIa.) State Sentinel Aug 9.

A MISSISSIPPI MovEMENT.-The residents of
Chickasaw county, Mississippi, have thrown down
| the gauntlet to the North. At the town of Buena
Vista, on the 2lst of July, meeting assembled, at
which series of resolutions was passed, of the
most ultra Southern type. The preamble denounces
the Republican party disunionists. The first
resolution calls convention of citizens for the
purpose ''of taking into consideration a lawful
| and proper State tax to be levied upon all goods
made purchased in any of the irresistible conflict
States, and for the purpose of devising the most
effectual and lawful plan of keeping the federal
revenues paid by the people of the Southern States
from going into the hands of the Black Republi-
cans, in case they carry the Presidentio election"
The second resolution declares that any of the
didates for the presidential chair would be prefera
BILE to Lincoln. The third resolution calls upon
public speakers and statesmen of Mississippi to de-
| wise measures Drotect the slave States, while
