MARRIAGE IN HIGH hIRE.

Miss Mary Lee, of New York city, was
married at the American Minister'S, ia
Paris, on the 26th ult., TO the Prince of
Schlcswig- Holstein, uncle to the Duke of
Augustenburg. As the Prince belongs
TO royal family he could not, with his
royal title, contract other than a morgan
attic marriage with a eommoner so he
renounces his title of Prince of Schleswig.
Holstein, and is married to Miss Lee in
the most regular and Legitimate manner.
under the title of the Due de Noer, which
he holds from an Austrian estate. He is
very wealthy and accomplished, and is
sixty-tive years of age, while the bride is
only thirty. The marriage service was
conducted at the minister's by the Rev,
Dr. Sunderland, pastor of the American
chapel. Apropos of Miss Lee, it may be
remarked that several American ladies
have married titles in France. Two
daughters of General Harney bear the
titles Of Countess, and daughter of Mr..
James Phelan, of New York, some three
years since, became the wife of Vieomte
de Gabriac. There are (says Paris
correspondent not a few others of onr
fair countrywomen here who hope yet to
place titles upon their visiting cards
Some of them, it is feared, will wait too
long. A few months since, a dashing
young widow of New York was engaged
to Count who had attained the ripe age
OF eighty. He had no fortune, however.
and little except his title to recommend
him. His aifianced succeeded, through
the influence of the Duke de Morny, in
obtaining an interview with the Emperor,
in which she urged upon his Majesty the
of giving some appointment OF
pecnniary value TO her venerable but
penniless afianced. The Emperor, how
ever, politely but firmly refused, alleging
the superannuated condition OF the gentle
so the match is "off,"

FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF THREE UNION
OFFICERS.
From the LoulsvlIl. Jou-nal.


A scene of the vilest turpitude occur
red at or near Greenton, Lafayette county
Missouri, on the evening of the lst inst,
the Gendish murder of three Federal
officers.
As the S9th Regiment Indiana Volun-
teer Infantry, First Brigade. Third Diyi-
sion, Sixteenth Army Corps, marched
through the place en- ro,as for Glasgow,
three officers, Major Samuel Henry, As
sistant Surgeon John p. Porter and Lieut..
Harles Ashley, Quartermaster, all of the
89th Regiment, halted at house near the
road and asked for dinner. Tho lady told
them that she had nothing cooked, but
that if they could wait she would soon
have warm dinner for them. The officers
consented to wait A half hour or more
expired in preparing the dinner, during
which time the command had marched on
and got well nigh out of sight, when these
officers had finished their meal, left the
house for their horses, hitched at the fence
near by, where they had, upon going into
the house left their arms hanging to the
pommel of their saddles. Before they
had reached their horses three men in
Federal uniform dashed up on horseback
between them and their horses aud arms,
ordering them to surrender The officers
at first regarded it as a joke, in which the
Dostor, still putting his pipe, attempted to
join; but upon cooked reyolyers being
presented to their heads, they too late
discovered that they were at the mercy Of
fends, whose hands were stained with
human blood and whose garments were
fringed with white mems scalps. After
their surrender they were taken to the
woods, short distance from the road,
where they were most frightfully murder
ed and robbed They were all three shot
through the head. On the ID inst their
bodies were found aud brought to Lexing-
ton By the citizens. On the Sd inst, they
were buried with military honors in the
city cemetery, and in good metallic collins,
so that their friends can easily transfer
their bodies.

UNION AND LIBERTY.

Salmon P. Chase spoke in Cincinnati
on the Monday following election, to some
thousands OF rejoicing Unionists, and thus
outlined his views of the meaning Of the
great verdict on the 9Th Of November: i:
do not think that some Of tho men
who have sinned so deeply against the
people, and against the nation, and
against God, will be likely to receive
much lenity from Mr.. Lincoln. But to-
ward all those who have been drawn into
rebellion by the overshadowing influence
of the leaders-who have gone into it
unwillingly, or even willingly, under mis-
taken apprehensions to all except those
who have formed, plotted, arranged, car
ried out this Rebellion-to all except those
criminals, l suppose a liberal spirit may
be shown. But upon the essential con-
ditions there can be no change. And
those canditions are the Union and free
dom. The Union, embracing every foot
o. the old republication under the old
Il ag, floating everywhere, and freedom for
all men, SO that wheresoeyer the flag shall
float, it will float over no master and no
slave"

BowING TO THE VERDICT.

The Journal of Commerce has the follw-
ing upon the result of the election, with
the conclusion that it intends hereafter to
withdraw from political discussion
"While it is a remarkable fact that in
the States Of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, as we'll as in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, and other parts of
the country, the division of the people on
these subjects is very nearly even, it is
nevertheless true that Mr.. Lincoln will
receive the vote of majority Of the
Electoral College, and that the verdict of
the people will thus stand recorded in
favor of his principles. Discussion of
those principles, arguments against them,
repetition of that which we have so
often and steadily urged, can do no posi-
BILE good now. We bow to the verdict.
The nation at large must bow to it. We
most deeply lament the result. But we
have done our best to have it otherwise,
and have failed. We must leave the
management of the Ship of State in the
hands of those chosen to guide her course,
and whatever be our opinions or our fears
it is absolutely our duty, under present
circumstances, to cease urging our advice,
or importuning those who differ from US
TO change their views. They have beaten
us at the polls. They have the President,
the Senate, the House Of Representatives
and majority of the people in their
favor. They have right to the whole
responsibility, and they may with propriety
decline to receive the advice of those
whom they have outvoted; nor has the
defeated party a right to interfere with
any advice or opposition which could be
regarded as factious"

her name had SO entirely disappeared from toe

HON. EDWARD EVERETT ON THE
PRESI DENT

1t is pleasing spectacle, rarer perhaps
than it snould be, when great man
speaks nobly of living contemporary
The late testimonial at Boston to Captain
Winslow, of the famous Kearsarge, gives
us notable instance of gencrouy appre-
citation. Edward Everett, whose name
will assuredly pass into history as one of
the most eminent men of his day, respond
ed to the toast in honor Of the President,
and after some appropriate remarks re-
specting the need of respect due the
office, and on the duty of loyalty as fealty
to law, he paid noble tribute to the
personal character Of our Chief Magis-
trate. We hope that, after this endorse
ment Of the character and services of
President Lincoln, we shall hear no more
of the trash with which some of the
press have been filled. Mr.. Everett
rightly asserts that the question of in
tellcctual capacity cannot be raised re.
specting the President after his mastery
debate with Douglas. He accords him
entire conscientiousness and great kind
ness Of heart, and declares that he owes
it to his genial, sportive temperament that
he has not broken down under the over
whelming burden of care to which he has
been subjected. He defends him from the
imputation OF uncouth manners and ex-
tFeme awkwardness, and gives him credit
instead of blame, for retaining the repre-
sentatives of clashing opinions in the
Cabinet, which he defends as necessity
of the hour. We hope this speech will be
extensively read. 1t will confirm the
public estimate of the ability and fitness
Of the President for his high Office, and
will attend to disabuse not few, OF the
prejudices they so groundlessly entertain
against one of the purest and best men. =
