A SECEsH LADY IN PARIS TROUBLED
ABOUT BEING MARRIED UNDER THE FLAG
Among the humorous things TO which, as
happening in Paris, our war has given
rise, may be set down the following
"a young lady from Secessia, and her
self ofmost intense Secession proclivities,
was anxious, as all young ladies are, to
be married. She was not only axious,
however, but ready and willing, and so
was her bridegroom, French gentleman
of wealth and distinction. In order to
make the marriage civilly legal, however,
it was necessary that it should be per-
formed not only III the regular forms re-
quired by the French law, but afterward
in the legation Of the country to which
that lady belonged. Here was trouble.
The lady belonged to Secessia, and Sill
dell was her representative. But Sill
dell's blessing would be of no more value
to her. under the circumstances, than any
ordinary individuals blessing or cnrsing;
and so, after much anxiety and mental
trouble, not wishing to postpone the
happy day till Mr.. Slidell was 'recog-
nized,' (by which time she probably could
not be married, on account of the gray
hairs and the wrinkles of old age,) she
finally made up her mind to swallow the
dose; and conducting her dearly below
ed to the Legation, they were married by
Mr.. Dayton, beneath the folds of the
American tag, and, by fiction of inter
national law, upon American soil. 1t is
said that Mrs. Slidell chided the young
lady Tor her want Of patriotism and self
sacrifice, and asked her "why she didn't
wait little while till she could have
been married by Mr., SIidell?" But she
was too wise for that"

As no doubt many of your readers are
aware, the regiment Of Wisconsin
cavalry, commanded by Col Washburn.
was ordered few days ago from Jeffer-
son City to Lebanon, Mo. They started
out, and by the way camped az or near
one Judge Fowler's, of Cole county, Mo-,
and after enjoying all the Inequalities
Of the Judge, who was very loud in pro-
claiming his Union sentiments, Just as
they were about preparing TO ensconce
themselves for the night, there came into
their camp a negro boy, belonging to the
Judge, asking permission Of the soldiers
10 60 with them, which was promptly
denied. At last the little negro told
them his master was a rebel, and looked
on them as his enemies, telling them
also that his master had powder hid
somewhere, but he knew not where.
Some suspicious having arisen among
the officers concerning the Judge, it was
resolved to arrest him, which they did
The next morning the Judge became
somewhat tired of military life, even
from the limited view of it which he had
been able to take the night before from
the guard house so, to relieve his mind
of this perplexity, he told them where
they could find a little of Jackson's
powder. AS they thought he knew the
road much better than they, he was re-
quested to lead, which he did, soon ar
irving at a church building, in the neigh
borhood, from under the pulpit of which
he took seven kegs and forty EIGHT cans.
OF course, they thought a man so gifted,
and a county justice also, would be val
liable to Uncle Sam, so they passed here
yesterday with Judge, negro and all.
This is only an isolated case from among
thousands in this State since this rebel
lion broke out. II. r. l..

The charge was peculotion. Upon ex-
animation, which came after long delay,
it was found that there was not the slight

particle of testimony to criminate them,
or either of them. We are rcoiccd that
the Railroad Company has done an act
of justice to these men by recalling them
to their positions. The travelling public
will again meet the old favorito Conduc-

Expulsion OF senator Bright.

JESSE d. BRlGHr, of Indiana, was ex-
PEELED from the U. S. Senate on Wednes
day evening, the 9th inst, by vote Of
81 to H. lie was charged with having
on the 1st of March last given a man
named LINCOLN, of Texas, letter of
Recommendation to JEFFERSON DAVIS,
President of the Confederate States
LINCOLN, it is said, had for sale some
hind Of patent having reference to fire
arms. This all took place before the
commencement of tho war. The letter
never was delivered. nor was any ust
made of it. In this silly act consisted
all the treason with which Mr.. BRIdH'
was charged, and for which ho was ex
PEELED from the Senate. We express n,
opinion as to the justice or injustice o
the expulsion, but why should BRIGH,
be expelled for this when tho men VIII,
expelled him arc almost daily, as the,
have been for years, giving utteranc
to their reasonable, abolition doctrines
in the very Halls of Congress withou
reproval or any talk of expulsion?

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l0.-The Inquire,
of this city had dispatch dated Fortress
Monroe last night, which reports the land,

Three rebel gun-boats were sunk, and
two captured. One of them tho Flag
Ship. The fireman on board the steam
boat reported that the stars and stripes
could be seen over tho batteries and from
Elizabeth City.
PniLApnLPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE Balti-
more Clipper publishes an extra stating
that Roanoke Island was captured after
three days lighting. Two rebel gunboats
were captured, and the rest were sunk or
scattered.
Tho people of Norfolk and Portsmouth
are panic-stricken.
The news is confirmed by passengers
by the Fortress Monroe boat.

CAPTURE Of For, Henry.

We publish elsewhere full particulars
of the capture of Fort Henry. The fight
began about noon on the 9th inst, and
lasted a little over an hour. The surren-
der was made to Com. Foor by General
LLOYD Tu.GnMAN. Tho rebel infantry,
four or five thousand strong, who were
encamped outside the Fort, fled, aOan.
donng everything in their flight, and
leaving the rebel artillery, in command
of the Fort to their fate. The enemy's
loss was five killed and ten badly wound.
cd. Our loss was seven killed, twenty
three wounded and five missing. The
passage of a rebel shot through the boiler
of the E'Sser caused several to be killed
by the escape Of steam. Some of the
sailors jumped board and were
drowned. Our men are said to have
fought gallantly amid repeated and en-
cheering.
Fort Henry is located in Henry Coun-
ty, Tennessee, on the east branch of the
Tennessee River, some fifty miles from its
mouth, and very near the line of Ken
tucky. 1t was but recently built, and is
the only fortfication Of much Impotence
on the above river. The rebels say it
was built by an Irish Regiment, assisted
by four hundred negroes from Alabama,
The Cumberland river is only twelve
miles distant from Fort Henry, and the
Memphis g. Ohio Railroad connecting
Bowling Green with Columbus and Mem
phis is but fifteen miles distant. Gu
forces have taken possession of a bridg'
on that road, which is an affair of mucl
Importance, the rebel army at Bowln,
Green receiving their principaI supple
over that line Columbus is some g.
miles North East Of Fort Henry.
