? 4 Diplomatic Wedding.

On Thursday evening last (says Ghe Philadelphia
Press) the residence of our esteemed feow-citizen,
Charles M@calcster, Esq, l0i6 Spruce street, was
the scene of brilliant convocatfon OF brave men
and fair women. They were assembled in honor
of the marriage Of Alfred G. Beighmanns, Secre-
tary of Belgian Legation at Washington, to Miss
Lilly l.. Manchester, only daughter of Charles Mac
alester, of this city, and Vce-Regent of the Mount
Vernon Association for Pennsylvania.
The bridegroom was accompanied by number
Of attaches Of the foreign legation at Washington,
and by consular representatives in other cities.
The bride was magnifeently dressed ia white more,
with Brussels vail and orange blossoms. The
bridesmaids wore white tuze, trimmed with bows
Of yolet-colored silk, wreaths and corsages of vo
let's, with short te walls fastened gracefully under
the plat of the hair, the bouquets generally cor
responding in color with the dresses.
The aasemblage of ladies and gentlemen. includ-
ing most of our local dgnitaries, Judges OF the
Courts, leaders of society," clergymen, together with
their families, were attired in exquisite taste
especially the ladies, numbered over two hundred !:
and the arrangements for their reception were con-
ceived and conducted in the best manner.
The marriage ceremony commenced with the
reading of the civil contract, in French, by Mr.
BloDdceI, the Belgian Minister at Washington, ac-
cordingt to the laws of his country, which signed
by the bride and goom, and witnessed by Senior
Don Tassara, the Spanish Minister at Washington,
and Baron Grabow, the Prussian Secretary of Le-
CATION, on the part of the goom, and by Charles
Macalaster, Jr., and J. w. Wallace, Esq, on the
part of the bride.
Miss Manchester, who looked extremely WELL is
well known in Philadelphia for her numerous char
ites for her intelligence, and particularly for
her energetic and uneeasiug endeavors, in connee-
ton with Miss Pamela Cunningham, to dedicate the
| home and grave of Washington to the people of
the United States.
After the reading CT the civil contract in French
by the Belgian Minister, the Rev. MIR. Shields, of
this city, performed the marriage service accord
ing to the Presbyterian form of our country, and
| the happy twain were then indissoluhly united.
! The certificate was subsequently witnessed in
writing by all the members of the family and the
| relatives and friends present, among whom were
many of our most distinguished citizens, including

A Praying Match.

A correspondent of an Ohio paper wri-
ting from Louisville, tells the following
rather good story-and a story it doubt
less is. The parties alluded to will be
readily recognized by all our Louisville
readers: ~ l-D tiis 4iA - S'-ss sfSA
Our benignant Governor has named q
day of Thanksgiving and prayer, and has
recommended that the citizens pray for
peace, &C., but doesn't define what he
means by the term. He kindly gives us
at least those of us who pray-the priv
ilege to construe it as we please. The
Governor thinks, perhaps, to set both
sides to praying, and means 1t alike for
the rebels of Buekner and the loyaiists
of McCook. L am reminded by. this
proclamation of an incident which lately
occurred here in a prominent church,
wherein wen-known Unionist, now in
command of q Kentucky regiment, and
an equally prominent secessionist, (whose
son is Buckner's Adjutant,) had . pray
ing match. During prayer-meeting one
evening, the minister asked Brother O.,
the secessionist, to pray, which he did,
asking the ''removal of our evil rulers"
He did not explain whom he meant by
"evil rulers,n so not waiting to be cslled
on, Col P, the Unionist, called on the
brethren to join him in prayer, and pray
ed for "the rulers set over US and the re-
moval from his place of power of our
traitorous Governor" Brother G.. felt
called upon to reply, and did so in reg
ular secession prayer, asking the blessing
of heaven on the Confederate Govern
ment, rulers and people. TO close the
bout and end the affray of words, Brother
P. replied in Union speech, praying, as
all good and true men ought to pray, that
God would bless and prosper the Union
cause, smile upon her arms, lead her SOL
diers to triumph, -smite the traitors, and
bring back to their allegiance our mis-
guided brethren of the South The Sc
cessionist did not reply, and thus the
Colonel won his first victory. He is q
| graduate of West Point, but i do not
| know that what he learned there aided
him much in that conflict. = ..sa-

+ Cairo, at the present writing, is looking
very Cairo-ish. That is te say it Is very
muddy, very rainy, and very disagreeahls
and disconsolate generally. I do not know
whether it always rains in Cairo, but as
never happened to be here when the food
gates of heaven were not opened upon 1t,
and as moreover, save when the proceedings
are varied by q hsilstorm, it has done little
else but rain during the larger portion of
my present sojourn, am forced to the con-
ciusion that such is the case. But be this
as it may, the Egyptif n capital, is just now
in that peculiarly soft and elegant condition,
as to in every way render it worthy of the
not very enviable reputation, which believe
it unfortunately has secured to itself over
the length and breadth of Uncle Sans do
minions. Cairo is not, however. except in
u
the Cairo of all times, when-as the grand
center of the steamboat trade of the West
its levies were thronged with incoming and
outgoing steamers, and IFS warehouses and
wharf boats were groaning with the accu-
mulating products of North, South, East
and West. The palatial steamers of those
days have given way to the not remarkably
elegant looking gunboat, and big guns, gun
carriages and army stores have taken the
place of corn, wheat, hemp, iron, sugar and
molasses. The three peninsulas of the triad
of States now lying under my eyes are dotted
with the tents of armed men, while but q
little distance down the broad stream ap
which steamed but few months ago, from
pleasant sojourn in Dixie's Land. are now
hundred hostile cannon, with thousands
of desperate and deluded men behind them,
bidding defiance TO any craft bearing atoft
the flag under which they were born and

But since the Belmont affair there has
been here monotony even in military mat

| In the meantime, both forces, apparently

with the terrific storm which must in. due
/ time succeed this lu1l, remain, quietly resting
1 on their arms. Even the little scouting and
accommodating parties which, during the
earlier portion of the campaign, serysd tc
diversity the monotony of camp life, are pret
ty much discontinued, and, altogether, fol
these stirring times, Cairo is 8 very prosy

ARRIVAL OF GUN-BoATs.

The two gun-boats, st. Louis and Fits
burg, which left St. Louis early in the
week, have both arrived here, one getting
in last night and the other following to-
day. The Lexington, which was sent up
the river as far as Crawford's to meet them,
for the purpose of rendering them any as
sistanee, in case of grounding, is also here.
The boats, however, found no difficulty in
getting over the bars. One of them was
stuck short time at Bsinbridge, but got
off without much delay. The machinery
of the boats worked admirably, and after
the tinkering usually found necessary af-
ter the trial trip, will be ready for action.
The appearance of the entire fleet is ar

WINTER QUARTERS.

+ The building of winter quarters is pro-
crossing rapidly and what looks very much
like new settlements are springing up on
all sides. The quarters are generally built
of boards. Some of them are very neat
structures, giving indications that the
builder had seen carpenters tools before
his present effort. The entire force here,
at Birds Point and Fort Holt will soon be
very comfortably honssd, Several steamers
have been and are still engaged in carrying
logs and lumber from various points above
for these building purposes. asa

ANOTHER FLAG OF TRUCE.

The general monotony of the day was in
terrupted in measure, about 4 o'clock this
afternoon, by the information that another
flag of truce boat had appeared in the bend

telegraph, it appears that the irrepressible
jeff. Thompson desires to see his wife, and
hence the flag of truce. : do not know that
it is at all strange that JEFF. should desire to
see his better half, but the idea of his sup
posing that one of his d,des-de-camp would
be allowed to proceed all the way to St.
Joseph to get her, is little too pre-
posterous. Isn't it about time that such
humbugs should be absted While await

LATE FROM CAL R @.

nthe specials of the st. Louis Demo
crat, we find full abolition sccoun1s from
Cairo, as late as the 1st inst. ~
The Federal report Of the affair on the
Mississippi, on Sunday last, is, as follows:
About three o'clock this afternoon, three
rebel gunboats made their appearance in the
bend below Fort Holt, and in response to the
usual signal from that post, fired three or
four shot and she'll The battery immedi-
ately replied with its eight inch columbiad,
one ball of which went over one of the
boats, and another in the midst Of the feet,
when the rebels, finding to their surprise
that they were within range, turned tail and
fed. The shots from the gunboats fell far
short. After they had disappeared around
the bend a few shells were fred over in that
direction from Fort PrentIss at this point,
with a view of further expediting their
movements in case they had anchored there.
The shells were well directed, and few over
the Mississippi across Birds Point and
dropped in the river beyond, a distance of
over two miles. The fact of our having
| such heavy metal at Fort Holt does not seem
| to have been suspected by the rebels. 1t is
regretted by many that the gunbosts had
not been eoaxed into shorter range before
they were opened upon by the columbiad.-
| The gunboat Lexington, Capt. Stemble,
which was lying in the Ohio at the time, i'm
| mediately got up steam and proceeded about
fourteen miles down the river to reeonnoiter.
| An hour or more elapsing before she got
under way, the rebels had got SO good
| start that she was unable to see anything of
| them. She returned before dark. It Is said
| that one Of the gunboats was Hollins' ia
| NOUS ram, the Manassas, which it is said ar
rived at Columhus a dav or two since The
| fleet probably came up ON a reconnoitering
| expedition, and fired her shot as a bit Of
empty bravado If we had more than one
available gunboat here, possibly they would
not have got off so easily ---- --s go
