WoMAN's DEVOTIONAL Soldiers Marriage. -
An incident occurred in Memphis few days ago,
which illustrates the spirit that prevails among the
women of the South at this juncture. Says the
Appeal:
BENZ. ]. Vickers, Esq, of Kent county, Mary
land, came to this city two years ago, and was en-
gagged in the mercantile house of Kendig Il Cook,
Of this city, He was ardent in his feelings for the
Southern cause and left his business for the army.
He entered Memphis company, the popular
Shelby Grays, of the Fourth Tennessee Regiment.
At the battle of Shiloh this regiment made a
charge, the heroism and galantry of which was
surpassed by no incident in the battlefield. 1t
was necessary that one of the enemys batteries,
which was greatly annoying our troops, should be
taken. Two regiments charged upon it, but failed
to take it. Col. Neeey's Regiment the Fourth
Tennessee, was then called upon to make the at
tack. They were ordered to charge the formid
able battery. They did so, and carried it,. In this
gallant charge Mr.Vickers received fatal wound;
a one and ahalf ounce Mimic ball passed through
his thigh inficting fatal wound. He had for
some time been engaged to lady, highly respect.
ed in this city for her amable character personal
virtues, and great musical powers-Miss Sallie
Houston. The lady. with devotion of which only
woman is capable, fulfilled her engagement with
her wounded 1iance. The couple were married
yesterday at the residence of D. S. Mansfield, Esq
by the Rev. DR.. White.

RIVER DEFENCES, ETC.-rhere is no doubt in the
world hut that the advent of iron clad steamers is
destined to work great revolution in the science
of harbOr defence. But although great revolution,
it is hardly yet a complete one. 1t has elements
of destructiveness, but few or of acquisition.
For the mere purposes of wanton devastation,
iron. clad vessels might be extremely formidable
by means of their assumed power to pass defen-
sive batteries. For instance, d few iron-cad gun
boats might get up the Cape Fear river, and they
might she'll the town, but their great expense
would preclude their being built in sufficient mum.
bers to be used transport vessels and the great
weight of their armor would leave them no carry
ing power for any purpose cuisine of their arma'
ment, stores and machinery. They might pass bat
tcries, but for what purpose? To what use? I'm
less they senced the batteries, they could not re-
main, nor could transports with troops follow them
so that no land attack or permanent invasion could
be predicated upon them. No nation on earth
could ever dream of ironclad vessels for trans
ports. Alladn himself, with his wonderful lamp,
and his slave to boot, could not bring treasure
enough to sustain that drain, nor could all the
steeiplate printers in the United States enable
Seward even on paper, to keep up with such an
expense. The idea of dashing past forts, simply
for the purpose of throwing shells into town hot
defended, and which could not be held. would Dc

A MARROW EscAPE.-A Port Royal correspon-
ing account Of the passage of the steamer Flora
through the blockading squadron, and her extra
ordinary escape: 3A .-.~ "a
The steamer Flora was dispatched from New
York, in the revenue service for the of Colonel
Reynolds, in collecting cotton at Port Royal. BY
an error of her compass she got far in shore off
Charleston, and within the lines of the blockadng
squadron. The Augusta first perceived her. fred
three musket shots, and hoisted the lights for her
to come within hail. As the signal was disregarded
and the Flora standing straight in for the hal-
Dor, it was of course supposed she was Rebel
steamer endeavoring to run the blockade. The
Augusta fred three 80 FOUNDERS at her without et-
feet. Shortly after she altered her course, and
steered directly for the Flambeau, whose attention
had of been raised by the shots and signals
of the Augusta.
As the Flora carried the white, green and red
lights forward, and on her starboard and port
beam, it at once seen on board the Flambeau
that she making directly for that ship, and she
was, therefore, supposed to be an armed vessel,
and intending to down the Flambeau. a Il
hands were at quarters, the guns out and
quarter gun, . heavy rifed cannon, and only one
boaring tho Flora, ordered To Gre. By
singular accident the primers usually carried in the
belt had been misaid, and the gun could not be
and the Flora was within thirty yards. If the gun
had been discharged the shot would have gone
through and through her weak hull, machinery and
all, and the vessel very likely might have gone
the bottom with all on board. She is very light
and small North river steamboat. When hailed by
but her commander, Lieut.. Coffin, had better
excuse to offer for his blnnder, which had come 50
near frightful disaster, than his own confusion
| and want of presence OF mind.

MILITARY ExEoUTIoN.-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Nashville,
gives the annexed account of a military execu-
ton
On the 5th instant witnessed, for the first time,
a military execution. The circumstances are
these Michael Connell, a private in the oath
Ohio Regiment, while intoxicated, shot at cor
poral of the guard. He was arraigned, tried and
sentenced to death. The sentence was carried
into effect in presence OF the entire division. The
sight was an awfully impressive one. After the
column, the prisoner was marched in, preceded by
his coffin He was accompanied by priest, who
ministered to him in his last moments. The solemn
dea, ,h-march walled out from the band upon the
cold winter air, and many stout, brave heart
sickencd | saw eyes that are not given to the
melting mood brimning over with tears, and sup.
pressed sobs were heard in the ranks.
The prisoner, poor fellow marched firmly up to
the place of execution and faced the file of men
that stood ready to fire upon him. Gen. Nelson
waited until the last moment, trusting that re-
prieve might come from Gen. Buell. and even sent
an aided camp down the road to look for the
messenger, but in vain. The signal Was at last
given. A wave of the officers sword, the sharp
report of rifles, and Michael Connel's body
dropped upon his coffin, four MIME balls having
pas ed entirely through him, near the heart.
| have looked upon death in many forms, have
seen scores of killed in battle, but in all COM
bined never felt half the mortal terror that this
scene produced. | never wish to witness another
execution. Peace to his ashes. He died the death
of soldier and brave one, too.

SAVANNAH PREVIOUS TO THE FALL OF FORT PU-
LAskI.--A few days before the fall Of Fort Pulaski
a correspondent wrote to the Richmond Dispatch
as follows:
Cotton has been removed, such as remained in
store here, to the railroad. Ordnance stores and
every variety Of equipment has been thrown out
and carted to the same receptacle for government
stores. Schooners have been seized, and some al
ready filled with earth ready to be sunk below,
In common with the hulls of Commodore Tattnals s
fleet, which will never more venture beyond Sa.

Fort jackson, is also to be sunk, understand and
to add to the multitude of other lossos, the labor
expended on the gunboats--one of which is nearly
ready for launching-will, if the enemy sooner ad-
vances, be given to the devouring flames. 1t IS

We would very much like to see our merchants
again open their stores, and resume the bu-
sness which has been interrupted by the events of
the past week. The impossibility of obtaining
usual family supplies except at certain places, and
the difficulty which attends the purchase OF even
the smallest article of dry goods, has been the
cause of serious Inconvenience not to say dssl,s =
sfactien to people; besides it has had the effect
of throwing thousands of poor people out of gu
employment upon which they entirely depended
for living for their families and themselves.
Upon mature deliberation we cannot really see
the necessity for continuance of this general
cessation of business The fate of the city, for
the present at least, has been decided and our
merchants run no more risk of loss with doors
cfpen than with their doors closed. The same ne
cessity which existed for an exposure of their
wares for sale month ago exists now, though
perhaps to less extent, and people can no more
do without articles of ordinary consumption now
than then.
1t appears to US that if the merchants continue
to keep their doors closed and refuse to extend to
the public their usual facilities for trade, that it
might awaken suspicion that the real cause of
this action that they feared to exchange their
goods for the current money of the city, and were
only guided by selfish desire to save themselves
from loss, at the expense of the comfort of their
fellow. citizens. Although we can hardly believe
that such is the fact, that after they have con-
sdered the subject in all its bearings they will per.
sist in their present course, still it has that
appearance and evil. disposed people will believe
it.
/ Our currency is as good now as it has been at
any time during the past six months but whether
it is or not, in times like these every man should
| forget considerations Of such nature, and come
| forward to do his share towards relieving the
general distress.
The merchants of New Orleans have ever been
remarkable for their public spirit and generosity,
and if they were to prove recreant now, it would
| be an astounding example of the changes wrought
| by the present war.
| 1t may be urged by many, that there is little use
in making an attempt at business shut off, rs this
city is, from its usual resources of trade. Rut, il
appears to us, that if ouly is relieved, one
want supplied each day, that would be a sufficient
reason for being ready for business. And, after
all, the people have claims upon the merchants
whom they have bren patronizing for years, ant
these merchants owe it to them not to deser
them in the hoar Of adversty-and, we feel con
ident, that they will not.

DANGEROUS INSECT THE Buffalo Gndt'-
Numerous instances have reached US of the injury
done to stock by the Buffalo gnats," which have
recently made their appearance in different parts
in large numbers. One gentleman in the city,
few days since, lost two mules and horse which
had been bitten by these insects, or " animules,"
or whatever people please to term them. They
seem to be as destructive to COWS as to horses and
we presume would give man considerable occa-
sion for cussing, If their stinging talents ran in

ARRIVAL OF THE FEDERAL TRoops.--About two
thousand Federal troops landed yesterday at the
head of St. Joseph street, and marched down the
Levee to Poydras, down Poydras to St. Charles
and thence to Canal and the new Customhouse,
where they encamped for the night. Their landing
and marchings attracted large crowd of curious
people, as is usual in cities where any thing strange
takes place; but there was no demonstrations
made of character unworthy our people.
