At Island City, on the 18th inst, by G. F.
Gordon, Esq, Colonel Fox BooTH, of Riley City,
to Miss MARTHA ANN BlDDLE, formerly Of Indiana.
The BooTE was lonely and almost truantless.
Long years OF honest care had ploughed deep
wrinkles in the cheek and brow, and the frosts
of many winters had slightly tinged the raven
hair. Bit the heart was youthful, and Cupid
found it susceptible to the tender passion We
congratulate the welded twain, and wish them
many long years of connubial bliss; and now
that the bride has obtained a BOOTH, we trust the
Booth will never regret accepting that BIDALE.

Eg During the first Border Ruffian
invasions of Kansas, General Hunter, who
then held the rank Of Major, was stationed
at Fort Leavenworth, under Colonel (now
General) Sumner. When the Missourians
were crossing the river, in sight of the fort,
to carry the territorial election by force,
Major Hunter was exceedingly bitter in his
denunciation Of the outrage upon the ballot
box, and advocated turning the batteries Of
the fort upon their boats, as the proper
method of putting an effectual and perma-
nent check to their invasion.

. 49, The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette says" 1t is my
humble opinion that Jim Lane is doing
more to squelch secession id proportion to
his means than any man We have, civil or
military. He understands the disease, and
has the nerve to apply vigorous and aecis-
i've remedies. Instead Of coaxing it with
gentle healing pasters, he applies the knife
and the bot iron. He not only removes
the cxcrescencc, but kills the roots. Moral
suasion las no more effect en- the mind of
your genuine secessienist than the sprink-
ling of soothing powder upon malignant
cancer"

E Twelve ladies in Europe, and
twelve only, are eligible to the hand of the

Lord Lyons and the Mason and sliden Affair.


WASHINGTON, Nov p.
Lord Lyons has made no offensive com,
ments upon the Mason and Slidell affair.
Reports to the prejudice of that Minister
are positively contradicted in diplomatic
circles, and it is quite certain that Lord
Lyons will commit no breach Of courtesy.
Ii he has any communication to offer they
will be made in an official form, but there
Is no indication that such action is contem-
plated
The facts in the case are very clear, and
that our Government ought to seize the
rebel commissioners is too clearly estab-
lished to admit Of much argument
Com. Wilkes had an interview with Gen.
Wool, and expressed an opinion that he did
right, and said that right or wrong these
men had to be secured, and if he had done
wrong he could DO no more than be cashier
cd for it.
Edward Everett, Ed NJ. Stanton and
Reyerdy johnson, have expressed the opin-
ION that our right to take apd keep Siidcll
aad Mason is unquestionable.
\ representative from a Foreign Power
in Washington openly declared that if Ma
son aud SiIell had been taken from a
Spanish ship, he would Immediately have
demanded lis passports.

Torrrn1xc- Washington is tottering, and
unless some means be speedily taken to rein
force him with something more substantial than
the aquatic beast which he is in this instance
intended to represent, mus. soon be mass of
ruins. We do not wish to be understood as
saving that the seat of our Government Is
lettering beneath the blows OF seccsh, or that
the principles enunciated by the Father of1our
Country is in any way yielding to the subver-
sive influences of Old Time. No. thank God
We allude to the "splendd" statue that
adorus the corner of Washington and Seventh
streets. Tie incessan. sto-ming Of Borcas OF
late has been TOO much for the weakened sup
port which he has, and he now hangs an object
of pity to all beholders. Indeed he has been
an object of eommiseration for some time past
every line Of his countenance expresses
shame, and it can be read in his looks, "To
what base uses" &C.

whether England and France have fully
acceded to this.

property have of moving about. We hear a
good deal of complaining through town of the
mysterious disappearance of such articles, and
