A correspondent Of the New York
San tells the following story:
"An incident was related to me
last night by o lady Of Alexandra
which affords a striking, hut sad H.
lustration of the effect OF civil war.
The lady in question has resided
with an only daughter. for many
years, in Alexandria. Ahont nine
months since, q mutual friend intro.
ducei young gentleman Of Rich
mond to the family. The young
people coon became intimately &C.
quainted, aud quite naturally, fell
in love. The parents on both sides
consenting, they were beirothed, and
the marriage day was fixed for the
fourth Of July. In the meantime,
however, Iirginisns were called up
on to decide on which side they
would stand. The ladies declared
themselves on the side Of the gov.
crnment, but the gentlemR joined
the forces Of his state. No opportu-
nifty was afforded for the inter
change of sentiments between the
yonng folks or anything settled az to
their future movements. Matters
thus remained till the fourth OF July,
when exactly within m hour OF the
time originally fixed for the mar.
riagc, intelligence was conv, yed to
the residence OF the ladies that the
young man had been shot by sen.
try two days before, while attempt.
ing to desert and join his bride.
His betrothed did not shed q tear
but standing erect, smiled. and then

while the life blood bubblcd from her
lips, and this morning her remains
were conveyed to their last resting
