Singular Marriage Customs.

The inequality almost everywhere
visible in human affairs, is perhaps no
where more CONSPICUOUS than in the
contrast between the poverty of cere-
mony which attends matrimonial un-
ionism in some parts Of the world, and
the pomp which accompanies them in
other parts-the absence not merely of
a priest, but even of justice Of the
peace, at the nuptials of the South Sea
Islands, and the afluent presence of
two or more first class clergymen at
the fashionable celebrations in our own
society.
The Siamesc used to marry by the
simple ceremony of handing over the
brides dot; the couple proceeded
homeward as man and wife, without
further ado. But as these people now
have a king who is devoted to steam
engines, telegraphs, and other emblems
of progress, doubtless the ladies of his
kingdom, have obtained glimpses of
"woman's rights imported along with
other notions, from the United States,
and accordingly, no doubt, they do not
now suffer themselves to be dispased of
in such cavalier manner. Marriage,
with all the modern improvements,
would not unnaturally be one of the
earliest reforms introduced by an inno-
waiting female Siamcse.
Instead cf desiring the presence Of
two clergymen, the Crimean Tartars
are said to value the privilege Of hay-
ing one, even, SO little as to keep Aim
standing outside at the brides window,
through which he throws his formulas.
Other barbarous and semi -barbar-
Gus people have ceremonies elaborate
enough, though of queer character.
Among certain fire worShipers the hap
py couple are united by u hem of their
garments and led in procession around
a fire. On the banks Of the GangeS,
the Brahmin priest, the bride and
bridegroom all hold on to the tail of a
COW another Hindoo custom is for the
bride and bridegroom to shower rice on
each others head.
In Ccylon they are tied together by
the thumbs, the courtship having begun
by the lover sending to buy his future
bride'es clothing, which, knowing that
it is to be returned along with hus-
band, she readily parts with it at her
own valuation.
The Chinese practice Of three days
mourning before wedding may seem
eur.eus, but it Is hardly so curious
as marrying a living man or woman tc
the grave Of enc bcuothed TO him Of
her before death-a custom belonging

FROM ATLANTA.


The following private letter was re-
ceiyed last week by Mrs Rev. Geo. Whit
ncy, from her son in Sherman's ormy:
NEAR ATLANTA, GA,
July Oath, 1854.
shall have to make my reply short
and hasty. We have been doing some
heavy fighting, since | wrote to you be-
fore. On the twenty first Instant, we
charged the rebel line of works, but be-
ing without support had to withdraw
loosing in killed and wounded, about GO
men in our regiment. My company had
one killed and seven wounded, incl udiug
our I'd Lieut.. / was nearly sun struck,
and have not got we'll yet The next day
we were attacked on the left flank and
rear by the rebel Gen. Hardee's corps.
1t was a complete surprise, and at FIRST
threw us into confusion, but soon we raj
lied on them, and such terrific fighting
never heard or saw, nor do | wish to
again. We repulsed them after two hours
fighting. We we're attacked on the'sides.
First they took our works, then we charg-
ed and recaptured them. This was re-
peated FIVE or six times. but we held them
at last. Our loss was quite heavy, but
theirs was much greater, four to one is
not too high an estimate of their loss
according to their own accounts. In the
two days our loss in the regiment was l45
killed, wounded and missing.
The force that attacked us was the flow
er of their army, and the intention was
to crush our left flank, and capture oul
supply trains. We captured severa
thousand prisoners. They were nearly
all intoxicated, and whiskey was found
in the canteens of the dead and wound
ed that remain in our hands. We los
heavily in officers. Maj. Gen. McPher
son was killed. He was considered mex
to, if not equal to Sherman.

THE nth REGIMENT AT PETERsBURGH.

Lieut.. Col Cummings, in7his official re.
port of the part taken by his regiment in
the assault on Petersburg, says:
The 18th Vt. was commanded by Maj.
VIM. B. Reynolds, my health having been
such for some weeks as to incapacitate me
from field duty. He led the regiment on
this occasion, as am fully advised, in
his usual able and gallant manner, and
both he and they did all that was in their
power to insure success While bravely
fighting the enemy in their own trenches,
he was shot by a musket ball in the left
breast, and soon thereafter died. His
loss is deeply felt and dcplored by all the
command. Lieut.. VIM. +. Martin, of
Go. Z, was shot through the head about
the same time, He had joined the reg.
iment for duty but the day before, since
he was wounded at the Wilderness. He
was brave and valuable officer. Lieut..
John r. Converse of Co. H, was killed
early in the action. Of the eight CON-
missioned officers who went into the en-.
gagement not one returned to the regi-
ment.
When the enemy rcgainod possession
of their works they took a large number
of prisoners, which largely swells the to.
tai loss.
AS evidence of the severity of the &C.
ton, may remark that the I'd Division
lost more than half its effective force, and
the I'd Brigade lost in killed, wounded
or prisoners, every rcgimeutal commander
on the field.
