AN Arkansas LADY CAPrURED.-A cores
pondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing
from the camp Of the Sd Illinois cavalry, near
Germantown, Tenn. says:
Our camp is situated in a beautiful rolling
wood, half mile from town About4 O'Clock
p. m., April 9Th, the regiment, or the six com
panies that are here, was drawn up in line in
front of the Majors tent. After they had pre-.
sented sabres to the bridal party there assem-.
bled, chaplin Carr, of our regiment, went through
an imposing and solemn ceremony, uniting in
marriage major James H. O'Conner, of the Sd
Illinois cavalry, and Mrs. Laura Briscoe, Of Hell

The WEST 1HDIEs.-We publish to-day several
interesting letters from the special agent of the
Herald in the West Indies, giving an account of
the sort of neutrality which is practced in those
islands IN relation to the war between the United
States government and the so-called Confederate
States. lie shows that their neutrality is all on
one side, and that they are doing everything in
their power to favor the southern privateers and
cruisers, and to promote the cause of the rebel
lion; while, on the other hand, they leave nothing
undone to damage the character and to DESTROY
the interests Of the United States.
They are indulging two-fold passion-hatred
Of the American republic and desire to grow
rich at the expense of their continental neigh
bors. They have long envied the greatness and
feared the growing power of the United States.
and they now rejoice to see the nation PROSTATE
by intestine war, as they think, beyond the hope
of recovery Hence they are inaolent and auda
cious The public journals and the organs of
opinion are almost without an exception on the
side OF the south, and no opportunity is lost of
wounding the north. Even the very negroes
have declared themselves in favor of the govern
ment Of jeff. Davis. They know on which side
their bread is buttered-they are making money
rapidly by assisting the running of the blockade
and they calculate upon impdnity, imagining that
PullIC 10 DtOh Gu uO anu FulIleu
cas- down, it is not yet destroyed; and the day
will come when the West Indies may be made
to feel that honesty is the best policy, and that
they have walked up the wrong passengers. Con-
scious of their guilt, they have sought and OBJ
tanned the protection of British frigates; and We
are told that Port Royal, in Jamaica, is to be
fortified at a cost Of two and half millions Of
dollars Armstrong guns have been already
mounted on the batteries, and all enormous guam
tity of war material of every kind had been sent
from England to the magazines But these
preparations will not save them from lust retri-
button.
When our internal strife is ended we shall pay
attention to matters outside. W shall then have
two great armies at our disposal, henceforward
TO be united; and these troops will be far happier
to find employment in annexing the West Indies
than to be fighting against each other i'll unnatural
fratricidal war. Let not one imagine that because
we do not now resent the insults and the wrongs
inflicted upon us, we shall not do so hereafter,
when our lands are no longer full Of domestic
troubles We bide our time and meanwhile we
will develop the best and most improved ron-clad
vessels-ofwar, which will enable US to maintain
our supremacy on the waters of the Atlantic and
the gulf. Thus the day is not far distant when
shall be in position to chastise the insolence
of jamaica New Providence aud those other
islands which have taken mean advantage of
our civil war to iniure US and to add insult to

burning up . shaker bonnet. Through the
GOODNESS and promptness of young lady in the

before had aroused the inmates and retired
from the chamber in which the lightning hrst
entered, we might have had something more
