Their names weO Miss Eugenla c. Hyde and
Misc Constance Carey. The last named was
found out 70 be the Intended bride Of General

her fair companion was to purchase wardrobes
for the appyOaehlng nuplials. --7s...4

Provost Marshal Todd learned tho purport OF
the visit of these ladies, but he determined to
send them back to Dixie by the same road they
came, namely, tho Culpepcr route. Some ofl-
GERS high In command interceded In their be-
half, and asked that they might DO allowed to
visit baltimore, but Mr.. Watson, Assistant Soc-
retary Of War, insisted that they should be sent
home instanter. .....
Miss Carey, the future Mrs. Gen. Lee, Is a
very pretty though rather petite young lady,
and Is very Intellectual withal. When she
found tho provost marshal inexorablo, she re-
quested that they might bo sont back via Fred.
oricksburg, as they did not relish the transpor-
tatlon in OK carts and things through the Bull
Run region. When tho marshal Informed her
firmly but politely, that she must return by the
way she came, the bride elect was quite indig-
nant. She stormed little aud her bright eyes
flashed good deal. She remarked with great
force and meaning that she hoped to meet
Marshal Todd in Richmond, when she would
take pains to reward him for his kindness, etc.
The ladies were placed under the care Of
Lieut.. Clark Smith, Of the 169th New York
regiment, and escorted to Alexandria, where
they were placed in charge Of Gen. Tate, pro-
vost marshal Of the defences south Of the Po-
tomac. Lieut.. Smith is a very good-looking
and Intelligent officer, and his gentlomanly
conduct won the appreciation Of the ladies, and
Miss Carey assured him that II ho should
ever be carried prisoner to Richmond, she
would do all in her power to assist him.
She presented tn the gallant lieutenant a copy
Of verses she had written and addressed to her
intended husband, and expressed her dlsap.
pointment in the result Of her hard journey 10
the North, the consequences Of which would be
a postponement Of her nuptials.
To-day the unlucky young ladies arc riding
through Centreville, rejecting, sorrowfully,
that the course Of true love did never run
smooth, and that there is many a slip between
the hymeneal cup and the lip.

stOn, JRmRica--A Squadron OF SIX ships
In Chase.
From the Morning Journal, Kingston, jamaica,
March Cd. ~

From the Morning Journal, Kingston, jamaica,
March Cd.
A few days before the steamer North Star
sailed from Key West, a communication was
received by Rear Admiral Bailey, from our
consul general in Havana, in which he stated
that he had just received telegraphic dispatch
from the United States consul at Trinidad do
Cuba, saying that an English brig had arrived
from Kingston, Jamaica, with the information
that the Alabama reached that port on the goth
ult., and had landed the remaining officers and
crew of the United States steamer Hatteras,
sunk of Galyeston-over one hundred In num-
Der.
Immediately upon this news being received
In Havana, the United States steamers WaChu-
sett and Oneida sailed direct for Kingston, and
the Santiago de Cuba and X. X. CuyleT, then
on the south side of Cuba, were ordered at
once to the same port, and the TlOga and So
noma were also steering In the same direction.
II Is not at all improbable that the Alabama
has at last been hOmmed In by squadron of
not less than six ships, may be more. If her
repairs kept her In port four days she Is block
AIDED to certainty, for the entrance TO the har-
Dor of Kingston is narrow, and can be efeCtu-
ally barricaded by six vessels, lying even be-
! yond the limit of neutral vessels.
SemmeB is rapidly having drawn around him
a Gordon of slow but sure ships, and the time
is rapidly approaching when he must seek
more genial climate than that of the West In
dies II he wishes to carry on his deviltry with
impunity. His cruise thus far has been most
successful, but II, by over confidence from past
success, he ventures too much, the chances are
| he may come to a most disastrous end, and his
cruise meet with a melancholy termination.
We have still strong hopes that such will be
the case.
A Panama letter says: We have heard moth
| ing of the movements of the Alabama since
sho fired a shot across the British steamer
Trent. Probably you have heard ere this Of
this freak OF Semmes, of the subsequent apollo
KY, and the breakfast on the Trent, In which
! the pirate and John Bull drank confusion to
tho Union over pot Of 'af an 'af. SemmeS
has no idea Of quitting these waters. The
close proximity of 80 many ''neutral" ports,
and the sympathy of the people, insure him al
most perfect security In his present cruising
ground.
