A short time since an account of q
heart rending scene at a wedding in
Charleston was going the rounds of
the press. 1t was asserted that a
daughter Of Governor Pickens was
killed by shell from the biockadins
fleet, at the marriage altar. 1t turns
out that the whole story was a hoax.
A correspondent of the Macon Con
federate writes that paper from Cor
don:
al perceive that you were most
beautifully hoaxed in publishing that
Yankee lie regarding the untimely
death scene OF Miss Anna Pickens."
The story originally appeared in
New York paper, having been fur
nished it by one of the enterprising
wing correspondents in the feet.
