perfect stiffness until the rear guard had
passed, when they sprang up, determined
to make their way to our lines. There
were many obstacles with which to con-
tend, many sufferings to be undergone,
many risks to run, but they started.
Through the swamp, among the serpen-
tine grape vines, and tangled briers, they
with difficulty made their way to the
banks of the smaller Hatchie. Here
they constructed raft Of rails, and pad
died through its turbid waters. On this
side of the river they met new trials
and new discouragements, but on they
made their way, through water and mud
much of the way to their arms, till at
last they arrived at Brownsville, where
they hired hack and came to Jackson.

of which, think, belong to our regi-

FoRBIDDING THE BANS, OR A MARRIAGE
BROKEN UP.-The Morning Call tells
The following interesting story of Lite
in San Francisco - One of the most
singular circumstances happened in this
city, few days since, in connection
with an intended marriage, that we ever
recollect 10 have heard, and we are in
duced to give it TO our readers. There
are residing in this city, trio, whom
we shall designate Mr.. and Mrs. Strong
and Will-the former, although strong
by name, was not so BY nature, but gave
evidence Of early becoming victim to
consumption. Mrs. Strong was young,
rather good looking, and of decidedly
strong minded procliyities. Mr.. Will
was fast and rather inclined to be gay
deceiver Between Mr.. Strong and Mr..
Will feeling of friendship had sprung
up, resulting in the latter becoming an
inmate of the formers house. and the
companion of Mrs. Strong in her visits
10 the opera. The constant association
and companionship of the two latter
caused tender feeling to spring up be-
tween them, and as the health of the
male Strong was steadily on the decline.
and bade fair TO soon put an end to his
existence, they entered into an agree
ment that SO soon after the invalid
Strong had been toled off TO Lone Noun
tain as deeencv would permit, they
would seek the assistance OF a minister.
and be united in those bonds so easily
broken in California. Thus stood affairs
several months; but still Mr. Strong
postponed his dying and the lovers their
marriage, until the warmth Of Mr.. Wills
affection began to grow cold. He be-
gan to think that Mr., Strong did not in
tend to die, but was only acting tho
possum." With this idea uppermost in
his mind. he sought for wife in another
quarter, and was lucky enough to find
virgin heart. untrameled with the cares
OF husband to her he made proposal
and was accepted. The wedding was TO
have taken place one day last week, and
doubtless would. had not Mrs Strong
stepped forward and interposed. The
bridal party had assembled in the church,

Pnetrp.
The Perfect Husband.

As light unto the Morn,
So Time to him unfolds her;
As holds the light the day,
So unto him he holds her.
A fairer than himself,
BY one still brighter given,
A something less of earth
A something more of Heaven.
He deems her not saint
In loving she is human
And he is Man,
The dearer she as Woman.
Not down on her he looks,
Nor up to an Ideal,
But straight into her eyes,
And all his love is real.
As bends the sturdy tree
To shade pool of water,
But standeth like rock
When winds and torrent slaughter
So bends he unto her
When gentlest her controlling,
So stands he as wall
When dangers round are rolling.
IT'S not by given Right,
Or privilege he rules her;
For It's his grace to yield,
That in obeying schools her;
And if the less himself
From troublous cause, or other,
In milder type he wears
The spirit of his mother.
As she may have a fault,
So he may have a greater,
And sorrow for his own
For both is exculpator
And if upon her sleeve
She shares passing folly,
he frlghts it with smile,
And not with melancholy.
He slaves her truth to him
BY no confining portal,
But in himself reflects
Its counterpart immortal.
The freedom that he gives,
Is taken from the donor
A Husbands faith may rest
Upon Husband s honor.
And ever as child,
When childish she, he chides her,
And ever as man,
When she is strong, he guides her;
Through sunshine and through shade,
Through blessing and disaster,
In more than name, her Friend,
In less than law, her Master.

why not have given me proximate re-

The Famous Letter of General Scott.

From the Congressional Debates Of the 2lth.

of success was in suffering Breckenridge

without hearts or disposition to crush
the rebellion. When Gen Mcclellan
was at Yorktown, he was promptly or

lines. He never obeyed the order
When ordered to send troops to aid Gen
Pope he stood idle eleven days before
he started, and the at snal's pace, he
sent troops under pet Generals who new
er reached the battle ground. General
Porter was one of them, and was Justly
dismissed from the army for causing de-

ordered TO pursue the enemy, invading
Maryland. He had 10000 troops, and
moved at the rapid rate of six miles a
day, till he got up with item. Antietam
was quasi victory; and while in sight
of the rebel army he suffered the enemy
10 cross into Virginia, taking the last
man, wagon and ambulance with him,
and shortly after, when ordered by the
Commanderin Chief to pursue the enc
my, he hesitated for three weeks, then
took the South Mountain path. There
were four distinct instances of disobedi-
ence Of orders. Mr.. Stevens desired to
read letter from Gen. Scott to Simon
