REMARKABLE PRoCEEDINGs-Mdi to
the Wrong MGn.-Unusual excitement prevails
at Plaster Bed in this township, owing to the
fact that young German girl of that place was
unconscously married to a young German of
the same place, on Wednesday evening last,
without her knowledge or consent. The facts
are these. The young lady was engaged to a
young man whom we will call b., and the eve
ming set for the event was Wednesday last
Accordingly B. made the necessary prepare
tons, such as procuring license, &C., and was
to come to this place to have the matter sol
emnized. But the sequel shows that &. had
rival in the affair." whom we will call G. c.,

came to this place and procured license to
marry the same girl. AT early evening, and
before made his appearance, some friends
OF g., who were concerned in the plot, repair
ed to the residence of the lady, who was attr-
ed and waiting for her eXpectant husband, and
Informed her they were sent to convey her to
Port Clinton, where her husband in expecta-
ton was awaiting her arrival. She immedi-
ately complied with the request, and was con-
Quoted to the Island House, where she was in
duced by the friends of c. TO take some re-
treshments i'll the shape Of wine, when she
soon became unconscious of where she was,
or what she did. About this time G.. made his
appearance with justice, and but few mo-
ments elapsed ere the ceremony was perform
ed between G. and the drugged female after
which he conveyed her to his own house,
where they spent the night, B. in the mean
time being unable to find her Whereabouts
The girl in the morning acknowledged the
marriage, but declared she had married B. in
stead Of C.. But the latter demonstrated with
her, declaring she Ind married him and was
then in his house, whereupon she left instant
ly, and took refuge in a neigbboring house,
where she stated her case, saying hat she had
been drugged and made to marry the wrong
man, and that she would not live with him.
Her aftianced B. soon came to her relief, and
took her in charge. He came to this place
with her on Saturday last, when she COM
menced suit for divorce against the said C.

which nobody knows, and the benefits of which
are now enjoyed by the whole world, as, for
instance, the invention OF the plow, OF casting
spinning and weaving, may have been made
just as well by negroes as by whites. The
most of the original negro tribes, of which we
have no evidence that they ever had any in
tercourse with whites, we find in possession
of those, and other important inventions and
arcana which are yet unknown to whites.

v,ciss,tudes of Rome and her Popes.

The Papacy is not so near its end as
many hope and expect. 1t has Survived
many tug as hard as the present. In
1921 the combined German and Spanish
armies of Charles V. stormed and sacked
Rome, enactipg in its streets the most dia-
bolical cruelties; burning, torturihg, rob-
bing, ravishing, and destroying for ten
days. Some six thousand of the inhab-
itants perished, 100000 crowns of
plunder were collected, and Pope Clement
VII, paid 100000 ducats for his own
ransom. Luther thought that the end of
Rome had come. But it has survived
and recovered. Sixty years ago 1t was in
the hand of Napoleon, who seemed to
hesitate whether to crush it or not. In
1920, 1882 and ls48. it was prey to
revolution. Garibaldi himself at the last
date, expelled the Pope, who escaped in

what became of That Moneys I

What Beca me of That Money !
Soon after the Baltimore Convention,
q cliqne of corruptionists levied tax
upon the postmasters throughout the
State, to raise money for the support of
the Breckinridge ticket. $500 was ap.
propriated for buying paper in Colum-
bus, which is bought by some party every
campaign. The Statesman is informed
that $500 went to Floods paper at Cleve-
land; ard that 500 went to Captain
Heaton, of the St. Clairsville Gasette.-
We can think of no better reason for the
Gosette's support of the boilers ticket,
but we don't believe it. We continne to
think, as we have heretofore, that the
Captain had no reason, pecuniary or any
othe-, fo- helping the disorganizers and
Lincolnites.

1 Genuine "Republioanisn.'


Frank p. Blair, Jr., one of the oracles
Of the Republican party, in q speech he
lately made in Philadelphia, gave the fol-
lowing exposition Of Republicanism. It
must be refreshing to the conservative"
gentleman who help to sustain that party:
"N scould be vasn to say that the Re
pn5ticdn party does not contemplate any
interfsrsnce wih slavery in the States, or
to deny seven the posoer to intertsrs on, the
part of amy except the citizens of the slave
States themselves; for every argument used
to protect the Territories from slavery is an
asgssnssat against Its aersstence any,ohere,
and tends, By sts moral posoer, to uproot 1t
s0hereuer 1t EXISTS. 2 We should be prepared
then, to proclains to the country ,ohat zoe
propose to do Wih the liberated slaves.
o"Our true policy," he continued, "when
understood, will build up party iE the
slave States as powerful as that which
now exists in the free States. The great
mass of the peopleo Of the slave States not
only hava no interest in slaves, but, on
the contrary, the existence of the einstitu.
ton is calamity 10 them. It Injuries
them politically, pecuniarily, morally. and
10 every other way. II hazard little in
saying that slavery depreciates landed
property alone to an amount equal to the
cash value of the slaves"

Prospects of General European War.

A great if not general European War, says
the New York Tribune, seems to be imminent
and scarcely avoidable. The kingdom of the
Two Sicilies is completely in the hands of
Garibaldi and the Sardinians, and the States
of the Church are fast following in the foot
steps of their Southern neighbor. The City
of home and two or three outposts are still
held for the Pope by French army; but the
Papal host under Lamoricere, has been utterly
routed, and is no longer available for any mil
itary purpose. The flight of the Pope to Spain
or Austria is believed to be close at hand, up
on which it is supposed that the French will
quietly abandon the Eternal City itself to the
victorious army, which will then be master of
all Italy but the northeastern corner, strong
ly held by Austria, studded with fortresses and
bristling with bayonets. Against this iron
wall, it may fairly be presumed that Victor
Emanual and Cavour will hesitate to preoipi-
tate their legions: but can Garibaldi and his
flushed companions be likewise restrained by
the dictates of prudence? Having liberated
southern Italy by what every one would have
branded as sheer madness had they failed,
will they begin now to weigh probabilities and
calculate chances? When the thousand who
so nobly, yet so rashly, responded to the ap-
peal of Sicily, ale swelled to one hundred
thousand, are they likely to turn a deaf ear
to the frantic outcries of Venetia? We believe
they will rush straightway upon her oppres-
sors-that Austria will thereupon declare war
against Sardinia--that the fleet of Young Italy
will forthwith transport revolutionary expe-
dition to the coast of Dalmatia, and that Kos
sulh will once more arouse Hungary to strug
! gle for liberty and nationality. Then if the
Car should once more cast the heavy word
of Russia into the Austrian scale, Louis Napo
leon will be compelled to march to the defense
of Italy, and thus the flames of war will sweeI
| from Etna to the Caucasus.

The Glory Of the Wesr-PicturesQue
Description Of a Prairie Corn Field.

It is fashionable to write of the monotony of
the prairies. to applaud them to the echo, and
then say ebut." But we have observed that
those who watch them longest, love and ad.
mire them most They change like clouds in
heaven as the dawning year comes on; the tat
tered look of early spring, the touch of April
and the tints of May; June, with its page of
floral beauty; July and August, each with
something new; September's gold; Octobers
rich, true auburn, and the glory that Novem-
ber gives; there is no monotony in such magic
phases of the preirie's disc, from new to full,
till latest falls eclipse.
Clothe them with corn, and there is moth
ing grander. In a days ride over the broad
sweep of Egyptian plains, we saw great ar
mics; with silken plume and tassel, uniformed
in green, they stood, rank after rank, as far as
we could see. For nine miles had we been fly
ing along the heightened line, and to the wind,
it not US, ten thousand glittering blades were
waved in grand salute. Most glorious guard
for Ceres golden court is Indian corn; most
beautiful in the tender blade, and graceful in
the full and ripened ear. What would old
Joel Barlow, who sang the sweets of hasty- -pud-
ding, say to such scene as we beheld that
day? There, indeed, it is, that M
- 'Like column of Corinthfan mould.
The stalk struts upward, and the leaves unfold;
The busy branches all the ridges fill,
Entwine their arms, and kiss from hill to hill.'
Like armies deploying plain, the corn
fields seemed as we dashed swiftly by; now
closing up, at the voice of some word we could
not hear, and now wheeling by sections, and
marching swiftly and silently away. We met
|detachments, a hundred thousand strong, hast
ening to the rendezvous; we saw them afar
off, moving by companies, along the sky line

us by platoons. Well offcered were they all
for the field was full of Kernels. They rose
upon us as if from ambush, as we came; they
shortened like the morning shadows, as We
went. They were the standing armies Of
Egypt; let them conquer forever.-B. F. TAY.

Mr.. Bsecher and the Boxers.

On dit, that the Benicia Boy, with his train
or, Jack M'Donald, who have recently been
giving the Brooklyn people taste of their
quality. called upon Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
few evenings since. to pay their respects.
Mr.. Beecher received the eminent bruisers
with his usual politeness. He said he per-
fectly agreed with them as to the necessity of
improving the American physique, by the de-
velcpment of muscle, but he had serious OBJ
jections to the ring and its surroundings. He
did not approve of prize fighting, either, but
had no objections to fair and square round or
two, on Christian principles, with a view to
promote the digestive faculties. Heenan then
offered the pastor of Plymouth Church pair
of boxing gloves, and they do say the use he
made of them fully persuaded his visitors that
Mr.. Beecher, with little practice, would be as
excellent muscleman as he is a preacher

CRINoLINE DONE For As Paris gives
the fashions to, every place boasting of
high civilization, it is fair to presume that
the days of crinoline are numbered. A
new style of skirt is meeting with great
favor there. as it supports the dress with
out whalebone or steel, relying for this
purpose merely on the harmonious and
skillful disposition of the plated muslin
of which it is composed. The multiplied
shirt, or jupo's multiple, as it is sailed,
supports series of volan.s, tapered and
grouped like fan, which are moved at
will by means of metallic eyelets. For
travelling it is quite agreeable, as it occu
pies little space. What a boon in a

Cons equences Of L,ncoln's Election

To-day (Tuesday,) is ono upon which
depends the welfare, If not the very ex-
istence Of our country. The success or
defeat Of this man or that--the triumph
or overthrow of this party or that--so far
q the men themselves or the party is con.
ceraed, is . matter of comparatively little
moment. But we sacredly believe that if
Lincoln is elected, nothing but the wisest
counsels, the most prudent measures. and
the most self-denying sacrifices can save
our Union from dissolution. and perhaps
civil war. i j8ri anlf,a
Fools may shut their eyes, and mock at
che danger--traitors may laugh ut the
Impending calamitiss--but every good
man and patriot must look with gloomy
forebodings to the events Of the next four
months. Should Lincoln be elected, it

tility to the rights and interests of the
South. HIS, faaatical followers are SO Inv

prudence can be expected from them.
The South is already exasperated to such
= pitch, that they are impatient for pre-,

From all parts of the South the papers
some with news of preparation for dis.
union. State Legislatures have voted
money for arms and ammunition; Con
