AN UNEXPECTED MARRIAGE.


Old Governor Saltonstall, Of Cnnecti-
cut, who flourish about a half-ceutury
ago, was man Of some humor, as well
as perseverance. in effecting the ends de.
sired. Among other anecdotes told him
by the New London people, the place
where he residee, is the following:
OF the various sects that have flourish
ed for day. and then ceased to exist.
was one known as tho Rogcrites, so called
from their founder, a Tom, or John, or
some other Rogers.
The distinguishing tenet of the sect,
was the denial of the propriety Of the
form of the marriage tic. They believed
it was not good for man to be alone.
and also that one wife only should cleave
to her husband, cut then, this should be
matter Of agreement only, and the cou'
pie should come together, live as man and
wife. dispensing with all forms of marri
age covenant. The old Governor used
often to visit Rogers and talk the subject
over with him, and seek to convince him
of the improperly Of living with Sarah as
he did. But neither John nor Sarah
would give up the argument.
1t was q matter of conscience with
them; they were very happy as they were
of what use could q mere form be-
suppose they did thereby invite scandal
were they not bound to take up the
cross, and live according to the rules they
professed? The Governors logic was
powerless to convince them.
"Now, John" said the Governor, af.
ter debate of the point. "why will you
not marry Sarah? Have you not taken
her to be your lawful wife?"
YES. certainly" replied John; "bu'
my conscience will not permit me to mar
nv her in the forms Of the world's peo.
ple,"
every woll But you love herr"
"Yes"
"And respect herr"
Yes"
"And cherish her as the bone Of YOU
bone and the flesh of your hesh?"
"Yes, certainly do"
"And will?"
"Yes.'
Then turning to Sarah. the Governor
said
"And you love and obey him7'
"Yes." ...-...
"And respect and cherish him'.
"Certainly l do"
"And will9"
eyes"
"Then," said the Governor, rising. "ir
the name of the laws Of God and OF the
commonwealth of Connecticut, l pro
nounce you man and wife,"
The rage of John and Sarah was OF NJ
avail. The knot was tied by the highes'
authority Of the State.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM CAPTAIN
SAWYER.

ga w Liza.
We quote the fellow from letter writ.
ten to friend by Captain Sawyer, who is
now under sentence of death in the Lib
bey Prison in Richmond. He says:
~ was severely wounded aud taken
prisoner on the oh of June, near Bran-
dy Station Virginia, and carried into
Richmond on the 18th Of June. The
Confederate Government claims that
Burnside has executed two of their off
GERS for recruiting in Kentucky, of which
| know nothing, nor of the circumstances
attending them.
On the fifth of July, all the Federal
Captains. now prisoners. drew lots for
two to be executed in retaliation, and il
fell upon me for one. This is my pres
ent Situation, and You can imagine my
feeling upon SO serious matter. l have
been upon many harl-ionght fields OF
battle, where death seemed to stare me in
the face hu,, sir, all that is nothing t,
compare with what | experience every
hour. | cannot. in justice, complain o

Truly, it is enough to kill her. and ny

to rcal2e my situation, and all the rest o
our. family. 1t is hard thus to part will

that i. is not through anything have
done, or anything | could evste doing
to bring this siliction upon my family.
Again lsay, have strong hopes yet that
this bitter cup may pass from me ; but it
will always be a lesson in life should !
get out of it.
But you must not understand me thai

than my duty towards my country, my
God, my friends, in the hour Of my coun

serve her noble rank among nations, and
to perpetuate her noble institutions to the
Inheritance of my children. My des'

children. By law my family will be en-
titled to one-half Of my actual pay, which
will be thirty dollars per month. See to
them, and let friend Magonagle know all
about me, and the rest OF my friends"
