The Cincinnati Gazette makes men,
ton Of an elopement and a marriage
which recently occurred in that city,
The parties married were Capt Brown,
of the u S. Army, and Miss Matte
Truitt, daughter of Mr.. Ezekiel TruiEt,
of this county Il appears that Capt
Brown had become acquainted with
Miss Truitt, whilst on duty in this vi
cinity fell in love with her, and re
ceived her love in return. To break
off the acquaintance she was sent to the
Ohio Female College. What happened
subsequently, we give in the language
of the Gazette.

The young officer remained at his
post; the parents began to believe the
couple had forgotten each other; the
evil they had feared so much was no
longer to be dreaded; other scenes and
associates had driven the soldier from
the mind of their girl and they held
the catering JUNCTION 10 their souls that
their Southern beauty would not be
the bride of the Yankee Captain
A few nights ago Madame Rive gave
a concert at Mozart Hall, which was
very largely attended Among the au-
dience, during the early part of the en-
tertainment was the jealousy guarded
Matte and by her side Captain Brown
lt was not remarked; gentlemen like
company in places of amusement la
dies must have gallants. The crowd
was immense; the seats and isles we're
packed, and when couple of chairs
were vacated, a couple who had been
standing, thanked their stars
What cared they for thesongs of Mad
anne Rive and her pupilsg There was
sweeter music in the love-whisperines
they were 40 impatient to utter, and
they Left the crowd to seek in the soil
tude Of tie night what had been de-
MED them 50 long. Matte did not APP
pear st her accustomed place st College,
and curiosity suggested inquiry, which,
IN its turn, developed the fact that du-

the overthrow of armed rebels in the field,
and the security of permanent peace and
union by liberty and Justice under the con-
stitution. That these results are to be
achieved amid cruel perplexities, they are
fully aware. That they are to be reached
only through cordial ,unanimity of counsel,
is undeniabIe. That good men may some
times differ as to the means and the time,
they know. That in the conduct of all hu-
man affairs the highest duty is to determine,
in the angry conflict of passion, how much
good may be practically accomplished, is
their sincere persuasion. They have watch
ed your official course, therefore, with I'M
tagging attention; and amid the bitter taunts
of eager friends and the fierce denuuciation
of enemies, now moving too fast for some,
now to slowly for others, they have seen
you throughout this tremendous contest
patient, sagacious, faithful, just; leaning
upon the heart of the great mass of the peo-
pie, and satisfied to be moved by its
mighty pulsations.
tits for this reason that, long before the
convention met, the popular instinct had
plainly indicated you as its candidate and
the convention, therefore, merely recorded
the popular will. Your character and ca
reer prove your uns werVing fidelity to the
cardinal principles of American liberty and
of the American Constitution. In the name
of that liberty and Constitution, Sir, we
earnestly request your acceptance of this
nomination revefently commencing our
beloved country, and you, IFS Chief Magis-
trate, with all its brave sons who on sea
and land, are faithfully defending the good
old American cause of equal rights, to the
blessing OF Almighty God.
We are. Sir, very respectfully, your
friends and fellow citizens.

WAsHINGToN, June 7th, 1864
Hon. lillian DenniSor and others, COM
nautee Of tie Union National Contention
GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the 18th inst,
formally notifying me that l have been nom
mated by the convention you represent for
the Presidency of the United States for
four years from the 4th of March next, has
been received. The nomination is grateful
ly accepted, as. the resolutions of the con
vention-called the platform-are heartily
approved.
While the resolution in regard to the
supplanting of Republican Government up
on the Western Continent Is fully concurred
in, there might be misun ders landing were
not to say that the position of the Gov
eminent In relation to the action Of France
in Mexico, as assumed thro ugh the sta.e
Department and endorsed by the conven-
ton, among the measures and acts of the
Executive, will be faithfully maintained so
long as the state ffacts shall leave that po-
sition pertinent and applicable.
l am especially gratifad that the soldier
and the seaman were not forgotten by the
convention. as they forever must and will
be remembered by the grateful country for
whose salvation they devote their lives.
Thanking you for the kind and compli-
mentary terms in which you have commu-
nicated the nomination and other proceed
ings of the convention, I subscribe myself,
Your obedient servant
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
