" The DIAMOND WEDDING."-Our readers
will recolect the diamond wedding" VIII ich
sensationized New York-in fact the whole
world-about three years since, wherein a
snuff. colored Cuban, Of Anticipated age and
decayed vitality, but Of fabulous wealth, won
and wed the beauteous and youthful daugh-
ter of Lieut. Wash. Bartlett. Tie diamond
wedding is historic, and the sequel will soon
become so. A Havana correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives it briefly as follows :
"The famous diamond wedding has turn
ed out, as every one expected, badly Mrs.
Ovedo is now in town, and am told sera-
rati,n has been effected, he to pay 81 600 per
annum and, Mrs. o to live in the States.

Draftng.

We have been permitted to peruse an ad-
vance copy of circular addressed by the
Governor to the Drafting Commissioners, in
which he says volunteers enough to fill both
quotas of the 100000 men have been enlisted ,
and drafting only remains for filling up the
cid regiments. The number of men required
for this purpose is not yet positively known.
The Governor is making an effort to have the
two Independent regiments credited on this
call. One of these is the Irish regiment at
Dubuque under Col. O'Brien, and the other
the cavalry regiment at the same place I'M
der Col. Wilson. He states there is also a
regiment organizing in the south part of the
State under Col Lowers.
He advises the Drafting Commissioners to
hold themselves in readiness to commence
drafting at days notice. They are not to
remain in attendance at their office till fur
Their notice.

The MANASSAS ARMY-Charlatan Maury,
in recently published letter, says it is fact
not generally known abroad, that when the
war broke out, and after the conspirators had
an army in the field, such was the want Of
preparation, and such was the lack of NUM-
tons of war on their Fart, that there was not
only not percussion cap machine in the
Confedracy, but when the army Of Manassas
took up its position, it had but four rounds
to the man. Had the fedrals joined battle with
the rebels there few weeks sooner than they
did, the rebels would, for the want of percus-
sion caps, have had to quit the field or fight
entirely with the bayonet.

GEN. ENo.-This gallant officer, whose
death was announced in our columns yester-
day morning, has parents residing in Iowa
City. He was one Of the best Generals in our
army, and his death will be mourned by the
country at large.
Major Reno, brother of the General, en-
tered the Second Cavalry from Iowa City,
and continued with them until December
last, when he was transferred to the staff Of
his brother They were both in the battle Of
Newberne, North Carolina, where the talents
and bravery of the General were first brought
out so consciously, and with such honor to
himself.

rW-This is a dark hour in our country's
history but, thanks be to God, we have faith
to believe the night is far spent and thu day
is at hand. Athwart the gloom shoot the
scant rays of approaching glory and triumph
We are sure this Is so. But what of. that man
who, by one word or deed, would aggravate
this climax of our misery?
The war is fact; stern, terrible, awful,
but not the less fact The destinies OF this
Republic, with veal or woe unutterable, hinge
upon the event of the conflict. 1t involves
interests dearer than life of generations yet
unborn, as it has already cost the life-blood OF
thousands upon thousands. Every energy OF
every man is imperatively demanded to fur
Their the loyal cause To carry on the war,
means are indispensable. Money affords the
sinews of war. To such an extent is this
true that it has passed into maxim that the
longest purse carries victory with it. Our
country, by its chosen opponents, has deter
mined to create paper currency, based upon
| tR0t WCSt SOttU ~ ScCutttoc, t"e PWoesS '~""s
and direct tor, as security, in preference to
hiring gold in foreign markets upon the same
security. What better security could be ask
ed or expected? Can one patriotic heart OBJ
ject to accept that from his imperiled country
for which foreign nation will exchange bull
lion? And inasmuch as this policy is past
recall, and the nakedness, starvation and
complete disorganization of our armies were
the immediate effects of discrediting this cur
rency, is it not criminal, wicked and traitor
GUS in any man to utter word tending to
destroy public confidence IN our legal tender
1t is a chine for which our Generals, and
Breckenridge Democrats at that, have severely
punished rebels in conquered cities. Yet the
Courier, after its usual "tyrannical Lord
prosecuted Devil" style, calls it "an imamens'
paper currency, based on sun6eams."
Time has its revenges, not always swift, but
not the less certain.

yesterday, who arrived here last night, reports
that the fight took place three or four miles
west Of Middletown, at the foot of the first
mountain going west.
Their army was strongly posted, but our
men, with the most determined courage, drove
them up the mountain through strip of
woods, corn fields, and open ground. The
rebels made frequent stands behind walls and
fences, but were driven thence to the top of
the mountain, and over into the valley, when,
it being night, our troops were called from
farther pursuit. Not one of our men fall
tered.
This point of contest was maintained by
our troops of the center Division.
Two Colonies were among the rebels killed, |
found on the field this morning. The battle
was fought principally with infantry, on our
part, it being impracticable to bring artillery
into full play.
Gibbons, however, with much toll, succee-
ded in getting battery upon the mountain |
to the right Of the infantry, and did execu-
ton.
