The DESTINED coNsoRT.-There then remains on
ly one more candidate to complete the list Of the
sacred Processes This last royal lady is one
whom rumor points out as the GestiQed consort of
our future King, Princess Alexandria, of Denmark.
Her Royal Highness was born December 1St 1874
and is the second child and eldest daughter of Prince
Christian Of Schleswig Holstein, heir expectant to
the throne of Denmark, and of Princess Louise of
Hesse-Cassel. She is described as very accomplish
ed, well as gifted with inconsiderabie share of
physical beauty standing second only in the latter
respect to the far-famed Princess Of Hohenzollern-
Signaringcn. The union seems desirable in all re-
spects except the one that Prince Christian is as
deeply involved in the Schlewig- Holstein- maze as
his elder brother Frederick. lie has shown, how
ever, either more wisdom or more ambition by ia
king the Danish side, and recompense was elected
in 1853 to be the successor of King Frederick VII
The friends of Prince Christian assert that he is
aiming at something far higher than the throne
of Denmark, and that it is not unlikely be will one
day bear on his brow the triple crown of new EN-
pire of Scandinavia. .. ..., .....

fair Princess Aexandrs to the notice of the British

An AFFECTING INcDENr-The correspondent of
the, Charleston Courier, writing from Sharpsburg
battle field, relates the following incident:
One Of the most affecting incidents that l wit
messed yesterday, was while standing over dying
Georgian, young man not more than twenty-six
years of age, named John S. Hudson, from Ebert
county. His left leg had been torn off above the
knee, and though he knew his case was hopeless, a
brother lad brought him from the field, that his
last hours might be spent in peace, away from the
noise and broils of battle The Brother was ten
derby kneeng over him, smoothing his brown, curly
hair, perhaps as he used to do when they were
children together, and the blue eyes of the dying
man were fastened upon his, as if he would speak
volumes of adieus to the dear ones at home. 1t
was not without difficulty that he finally spoke, and
these were his last words: observation-disclosures
er that l de-rejoicng, and-die-a-soldier's-
death" Then laying one hand in that of his broth
er and the other across his breast he waited the
summons of the Holy Spirit. They came slowly,
but oh, how surely did the death shadows leave
their mark upon that paid face until at last the
eye fixed the chest heaVed its parting sigh and the
soul of the young hero returned to the God who
gave it Heaven grant that that mother may find
her consolation in the Christian message Of her no
bic boy.

The following is an extract from the correspon.

Zone incident of the battle at SharpSburg related
to me by participant and | will close 1t seems
that large number of men from different regiments
were congregated in a ravine behind hill over which
the Yankees were, and was not defended by any
other troops. A general officer rode up to these
stragglc"s just as he discovered they were going to
engage the enemy and attempted to resume CON-
mand Of them. But they needed him not and not
withstandng the earnestness ofmanner and the fact
of his being general, they continued to advance,
and reaching thebrow of the aforesaid him. opened
deadly fire upon the Yankees. Our general see
ing the unusual spectacle of going into battle
without orders turned to them and shouted, 'go it,
then, d-n you, you are every one officers" and
rode hastily off to another part of the field. Still
they did not observe him. and continued to fight an
til the Yankee colnmn was completely routed -
This evidence of the fighting qualities of some
is remarkable, for it is generally conceded that where
men ONCE struggle from their legitimate commands
there is little prospect Of their going into battle again
that day. By the way, waS has remarked upon
this incident that the stragglers would not have
