A ROMANTIC Observation-Disclosures Rod
man and Miss Buddington We're married
at Fernandina, Florida, on the 25th ult.,
after an acquaintance of only three weeks.
The bride is the daughter of Capt Bud
dington, of Groton, Conn, who brought
the ship Resolute from the Attic Regions
some years ago, while the groom is the
Major of the Seventh Connecticut volun-
teers. Miss Buddington was in the South
when the rebellion broke out, and remain
ed with the rebels until four or five weeks
ago when she was forwarded under flag
of truce from their lines to Fernandina,
for the purpose of returning to her friends
at home. Major Rodman at once became
enamored of her; he proposed; the lady
was not slow in manifesting her Union
proclivities; and the result was a speedy
wedding. ....- .ft

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
Sound Principles.

From all directions, the Journal Of
Commerce says it has gratifying assurances
of the increase of true conservative senti-
ments, and the desire and determination of
the people to sustain the Constitution and
the UnionHL aai 10 Cioj3rses sd. SCAT IS,
The Constitution must be sustained, sup
ported, defended as the supreme law Of the
land. . The speoious doctrine that an enemy
of his country has forfeited right to claim
the protection of its Constitution is q her
esy to be everywhere put down. The muir
derer may claim all the protection of the
law he has outraged and violated. The
lynch law doctrine that man who is no.
toriously guilty of a great crime may be
hung without conviction, is no law for us.
Our own lives and property are dependent
on enforcing always and everywhere the
right of the criminal, the murderer, the
parricide, the traitor, to all those formal
projections which the Constitution throws
around the accused, whether innocent or
guilty. Abandon this principle, and we
have mob law. Deny enemies of their
country any rights under the Constitution,
and you at once encourage the violence of
majorities, and Abolitionists here and Con-
servatives there would be adjudged traitors
by the mob, and hung in spite Of protesta-
tons of loyalty. g .8a.J + sa5 a.a
In defending the Constitution, conser-
vative men keep practically before them
the support of the constitutional officers.
The worst possible fate that could befall
the country would be break in the con-
stitutional succession of Presidents. The
most dangerous plot in the North was that
plot devised by radical men in New York
to supersede Mr.. Lincoln, which progressed
much farther than men may imagine. Its
history will perhaps come out before long.
Mr.. Lincoln is the constitutional Presi-
dent, and will remain SO, if he lives, till
the 18th Of March, 1865. He is recognized
as such by every loyal American, and no
conservative man will have any connection
with leagues, plots, conspiracies or plans
for revolutionary purposes looking to a
break in the succession Of American H-,ss-
idents. We trust the day of such ideas is
over The insanity OF radicalism alone
could seriously look on such propositions
with favor.
The maintenance of the supremacy of
law everywhere is another conservative
principle. We ignore the so-called higher
law doctrine. We deny the right of every
man to erect his conscience into law
higher than the law of his country. That
doctrine is not to be pleaded on the one
hand to justify resistance to government
and its demands, nor on the other hand to
Justify mobs and popular violence nomin-
ally in the interest of the government.
No illegal act can be in the interest of the
government.

Of consumtion, Mr.. Joseph r. Lins-
ley, Of Fair Haven, Connecticut, aged
% years.
MIR. Linsley was one of those invalids
Of whom we have had so many of late
years, who come to this county in the
hope Of recovering their lost health; but,
unfortunately, in his case, the Fell De-
stroyer had marked him for his own and
he secumbed to his power. Although a
stranger and but short time a resident
amongst us, he had made for himself
many friends who deeply regret his pre-
mature decease.

CITY NEWS.

METEOROLOGICAL NorEs FOB MARCH, 1868.
The mild weather with which February
closed, gave hopes Of an early Spring.
These hopes failed to be realized. Avery
steady degree of cold prevailed through
out, moderate and not unpleasant, but
still holding firmly the ice-barriers. Only
on three mornings was the mercury no.
ticed as standing above the freezing point,
and on two it was below 100 ,f.-,,a..,.,.-
A remarkable thunder storm occurred
on the night Of the 2lst and morning of
the 22d, continuing about five hours, with
severe and almost incessant flashes, and
depositing an inch and one-third of water.
Many of the rivers were swollen, and
damage was done to roads and bridges.
This rain had the further effect of causing
the ice to move from the Minnesota and
Mississippi at an earlier period than could
otherwise have been expected.
The former river was open on the 2sth F;
---O -N~SSSA, AAOAAA VIC lOOG Oh Cllo Lake on
the 2lst, and from St. Paul to the head of
the Lake on the 31st These events are
about a week earlier than in 1862.
The following results were obtained from
the thermometer:

The two latter results are deduced
from observations, recording 0 and 10 sew
orally, as the extremes of clearness and of
the force of the wind.
Rain fell on one day, and snow on four,
the latter to the amount of 81 inches,-
yielding, in all, 81 of water.
The prevailing winds were from points
between West and North.

ment with such odds, but we presume
they retired in good order. The Fe5er.
ais immediately proceeded to burn the
depot, destroy Che water tank, and com
init acts Of vandalism in this vicinity.
They also burnt about 5000 bales Of
cotton, belonging chiefly TO private in
dividuals. A squad repaired 10 a large

since the war, have been largely engaged

consumption.
The regular mail train for Wilmington
passed just three minutes before the ar.
rival Of the raiders, and thus made a
narrow escape from capture. The train
on the Tarboro branch OF the road was
not so fortunate, for II was captured by
tho raiders, and two car loads of m
munition and over thirty thousand
pounds of bacon captured.
They also attempted to destroy Che
cars and locomotives. We understand
they only partially succeeded. The
train from Weldon, which reached here
yesterday afternoon, brought no i%nlelli-
gence later than the above. Travel and
Geographic communication between
Weldon and Wilmington is now inter-
rupted, and we can find no one who is
able TO inform us when il will be esum

LATER-We learn by telegraph from
Wilmington that the bridge was des-
troyed by the raiders that spanned the
river near Rocky Mount. II was a most
substantial structure, some 300 yards
long. The track for a distance Of a
mile or two was torn up, and other dam
age was effected, which will require a
week or more 10 repair. Travel, ii is
thought, will be time thrown away TO
repair the Wilmington and Weldon rail-
road, for the Yankee cavalry will be
able 10 reach it in two hours time when
ever they feel so disposed and so destroy
