The FIRsT MARRIAGE.--''And Adam
said: This is now bone of my bone, and
flesh of my flesh she shall be called wo-
man, because she was taken out of man.
Therefore shall man leave his father and
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
They shall be one fish,
No cards.

The 22D WIsooNsIN-An appeal to
GOgern0r Sdlona0n.-A large number OF
the members of the 22d Wisconsin, parol-
ed prisoners are now at Benton Barracks,
st. Louis, waiting to be exchanged. They
publish letter to Gov. SALoMoN, giving
some account of their capture and captiV-
ity, and closing by an appeal to him to
use his influence to have them brought to
this State and maintained here where
they can see their families and friends, I'M
til they are exchanged.
Inregard to their Southern experience,
they say:
We found the Southern people--sol-
diers, officers, and all-anxious to ex-
change ideas and discuss the great ques-
tons at issue "What are you all down
here fighting US for?" was the almost uni
versal query of the soldiers. ''If you
would all stay at home, aoe'U never go
North to fight you. We are tired of the
war, and want to go home" They SEEM
ed to think we had commenced the war,
and had forced it upon them, and they are
fighting for dear lite. The more enlight-
ened took different view; but mainly
rested their hopes of success on the proba-
bility of revolution in the North, which
would c;.il all our soldiers from the field.
A Texas Major being asked what would
be the probable fate of man who would
make q speech in the Confederate Con-
gress, denouncing the administration as
VallaIuigham did at Washington, replied
that ''ere he had half finished he would be
cut in as many pieces as there were mem
bers of the body he was addressing"
The more we read in Southern journals,
and the more we converse with Southern
men, the more we are convinced that the
class of men styled Copperheacs In the
North, are our most deadly enc .Aies
We're they in the Southern army, will
arms in their h-nds, they could do US bu
little harm, paratively. We lool
upon them as q set OF " rule or ruin" par
tizans, who would sooner the nation
would be annihilated than even surviv,
under a government to which they di,
not administer, and which is not to then
source of sinecures and wealth.
Good pocket knives sold readily for tie
dollars, and everything else in proportion
La Richmond a loaf OF bread could not b
bought at any price. a few sticks of Car
DIV at one dollar each, and some tobacco
was the extent of our trade whilst in Lii
