particulars Of the reconnaissance of Gen,
Miles command on Friday last to Hatcher
run on the right Of the rebel forces defend
ing Petersburg. After capturing the enc.
my's works Gen. Niles men held them
throughout tho night.
Their object being accomplished, they
were preparing next morning to return to
the Army of the Potomac, when furious
charge was made upon them by the rebels,
who were ION rcpulsed, and in turn chsre.
ed upon and driven for distance.
After this the Union troops returned to
their old camp, which they reached on Sat
urday evening.
Their casualties were slight. A number
Of rebels were captured.
The rebel division under Gen. Field made
. reconnoisance on Saturday down the OAR
bytown road, on the right of Gen. Buffers
1ineo. They seemed to be satisfied with a
very hasty observation, as they soon re-
traced their steps.
About midnight on Friday the rebel ar
tillery opened heavily both on Dutch Gap
andon the right Of the Army Of the James,
near the Newmarket road, but with little
effect. Their fire was freely responded TO-.
There 10 no later news Of \ positive char
actef OF the column under Gen. Warren,

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-The following

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-The following
account of marriage in high life we extract
from the Lewiston Il. T. Golden Age:
On Christmas Eve, the beautiful princess.
daughter of the celebrated chief of the Nez
Perces. Lawyer, was led to the hymenial al
tar, clothed in bushes of modesty and su-
per5ly worked leggings, all covered with pre-.
cious gems or other kinds of beads. The
happy bridegroom is a nephew of the we'll
known Three Feathers, sub-chief of the
royal nation. Many white man felt chill
at the heart at seeing this beautiful and roy
al damsel led to the alter to become the loved
bride of one of the bravest of the brave. We
cannot give an accurate description of the
splendid dress worn on the occasion bv the
princess. Suffice 1t to say that her leggings
were of brilliant hue her shawl of matchess
figure and value, and more-she wore no
hoops-but allowed her own development of
form to fill the outlines, where others less
perfect have to depend on hoops and cotton.
Her petticoats and tunic set verv gracefully.
and over her shoulders waved the beautiful
locks of hair which graced her head. Of the
groom we can only say that he was dressed
with taste, and. all in all, this was one ofthe
most superb affairs eyer seen, and as they
retired to their beautifully furnished lodge.
and sought their soft couch of costly furs. we
bad to leave and consequently can only saw
they each had an armful ofjoy.
