intend first to overthrow the Government,
and then annex the State to the Southern

went to Fort Sumter this morning and held
private parleY with Major Anderson. All
kinds of rumors prevail as to the cause of
sending flag of truce 10y South Carolina
last night. Some say that disaffection exists
among Major Anderson's men, and others
that surrender of the Fort is contemplated,
and that it will be evacuated 1t is believed
that negotiations at Washington are going
on for a peaceable surrender of the Fort, and
for the cessation of the warlike attitude.
Good authority credits this opinion.

A FRENcH ROMANCE OF THE PRESENT DAY.
The Paris correspondent of the New Or
leans Pieayune tells the following strange
story;
young man, originally from the country,
was about to be married to a Partisan lady a
few weeks since, and among the other numer-
ouS legal prelminaues to be gone through
WITH he had to obtain his fathers written
consent, and also "A certificate Of the death of
his mother, who was supposed to have de-
parted this life many years ago. Upon ask
ing his father for the certificate, the latter be
came much embarrassed, and finally told his
son that his mother was not dead but had
been raving maniac for many years. and
had been concealed chat she might not agi-
tate the feelings of her children. The son
obtained an interview with the supposed lu-
matte, but she only stared at him, not even
replying to his questions. 1t became necessa
ro to tell the story to the brides family, who
insisted upon seeing the crazy woman.
AS soon as the latter saw herself surround
ed by witnesses, she said in a calm tone 81

The persons assembled at first thought this
accusation was but an additional evidence of
the distracted state of her mind, but being
doubtful, the medical faculty were called in.
Before they could arrive at decision the
husband, who had been in state of great
agitation ever since his wife charged him
with her sequestration. became raving mad

that he had for years been crazy--a mono

"Let us forget for time the divisions of

ground of broad and elevated patriotism.
Let our motto be, "The Constitution and the
Union !" May they be preserved forever!
May the great principles of liberty and of
law upon which they are based, brighten
and extend until their radiant sound shall
have encircled the earth Let us not be
frightened from our duty by the horrors of
civil war, nor fascinated from it 10y the delu-

Narrow Escape From Being Drowned.
At about 8 o'clock on Saturday Al

At about 8 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, Aug. 10, as a son and two daugh-
tiers Of Rev. J. @. Clement of Thetford-
Charles, Arabella and Helen-were re-
turning from fishing excursion on Fair
lee Lake." SO called, while midway the
4" Lake" and about IL miles from shore
were struck by a heavy gale, and but for
the remarkable selfpossession each exhib-
tied, and the presence of mind of Charles
in skillfully managing the boat, they must
have been instantly submerged. The gale
approaching with great rapidity, the waves
struck Arabella in the back, she being
seated in the " stern )" thus parted, the
spray SO completely filled the faces of her
brother and sister that she was invisible
to them. In this violent manner, each
successive wave striking the young lady,
the gale growing more and more furious
and the boat continually filling with wa
ter, they were drifted towards the shore.
Finding nothing at hand to dip water
with, Arabella at first used her boot, but
failing to dip as fast as was necessary she
made SCOOP of her hands and in dip
ping in this manner she wore her finger
nails to the "quick;" meanwhile HELEN
used piece of tin (once the side of a
PAM about IL inches long by 8 wide to
good effect. By persons on the shore at
the time, the gale is said to have been
the most powerful of any that is known
to have occurred in that vicinity for twen-
ty years, and their situation is also rep
resented as extremely perilous, as the
waves at times ran at such a height as
to almost exclude them from their sight.
Their escape was truly miraculous
