A Thrilling Incident Of the War.

We find in the Courier des Etat LniS, the
following touching narrative OF al incident
in the siege of Charleston, taken from the
.'tcrca0y OF taat city:
Misfortune willed that Yesterday a shell
should throw the entire community Into
mourning.
Miss Ann Fickens, the daughter CT our for.
mer governor, never consented 20 leave the
city. Despite the repre- Sentations of General
Beauregard, She remained, braring shells aud
Greek ire, tending the wounded and cheering
all with her presence. Among the w0undeu
officers under her care, was Mr.. Andrew dc
Rochelle, descendant of the one Of the no.
blest llugenot families Of the city. This
young man was fall Of the livclicst gratitude
for his fair nurse gratitude gave birth to
more tender sentiment; his suit was listened
to; Governor Pickens gave his consent, anG
the marriage was fixed for yesterday, the 23u
AprlI.
Lieutenant de Rochelle was on duty at Fort
Sumter Ill the morning and it was determined
hat he ceremony should take place at the
residence Of Gen. Bonham in the evening, Al
O'clock. AT the moment when the Episco
pal clergy man was asking the bride if she VAS
ready, shell fell upon the roof of the build
ing, penetrated to the room where the com
eany was assembled, burst and wounded nine
persons, and among the rest, Miss Anna Pick
ems. We cannot describe the scene that fol
lowed. Order was at last re established, and
the wounded were removed, all except the
bride, who lay motionl.ss upon the carpet
Her betrothed, kneeling AMI bending over her
was weeping bitterly and trying to stanch the
blood that sweIled from terrible wound un
der her Icf5 breast. A surgeon came and de-
ciared that Miss Pickens had not longer than
| two hours to live. We will not attempt to
paint the general despair.
When the wounded girl recovered her con
sciousness, she asked to know her fate, and
whea they hesitated to tell her-"Andrew,
she said, Il beg you will tell me the truth
If must die, can die worthy of YOU" The
Young soldie,'s tears were his answer, and
Miss lnna, summoning all her strength, "a.
tempted to smile. Nothing could be more
heart-rendins than TO see the agony of this
brave girl, struggling in the embrace Of death
and against terrible mortal pang Gov.
Pickens, whose courage is known, was almost
without consciousness, and Mrs. Pickens look.
ed upon her child with the dry and haggard
eye of one whose reason totters.
Lieut.. de Rochelle was the first to speak.
"Anna," he cried, Il will die soon, too, but
, would aare you die my wife. There is yet
time to unite US"

The young girl did not reply; she was too
weak A slight fash rose for an instant TO
her pale check; it could be seen that Joy and
pain were struggling in her spirit for the mas
terry. Lyins upon sofa, her bridal dress ali
stained with blood, her hair disheveled. she
had never been more beautiful. Helpless as
she was, Lieut.. de Rochelle took her hand
and requested the Rev. Mr.. Dickinson to pro-
ceed with the ceremony. When it was time
for the dying girl to say yes, her lips parted
several times, but she could not articulate-
At tvlast the word was spoken, and slight
foam rested upon her lips. The dying agony
was near. The minister sobbed as he pro-

wards all was over, and the bridal chamber
was the chamber OF death.
