Rather Rough Honeymoon.

On last Friday morning an athletic young
farmer, In the town of Vaynesburg. took q
fair girl, 'all bathed IN blnshes,n from her
parents, and started for the first town across
the Pennsylvania line, TO be married, where
the ceremony could be performed without u
license. The happy pair were accompanied
by n sister of the girl. tail, gaunt, sharp

ner. The husband would take his sister-in-
law, the tall female aforesaid, into one
corner of the parlor, and talk earnestly TO
her, gesticulating wildly all the time. Then
the tall female would "put her foot down"
aud talk to him In an angry and excited
manner. Then the husband would take his
fair young bride into a corner but he would
no sooner commence talking to her than the
galmt sister would rush In between them
and angrily join In the conversation. The
people at the hotel ascertaincd what this
meant about nine O'Clock that evening.
There was an uprOar In the room which had
been assigned to the newly married couple.
Female shricks and masculine "swears"
startled the people in the hotel, and they
rushed to the spot. The gaunt female was
pressing against the door of the room, and
the newly married man, mostly undressed,
was barring her out with all his might. Oc-
casionally she would kick the door far
enough open to disclose the stalwart hus-

rious paths and routes they would be Obliged
to traverse while en- route t. the Fortress.

soon rs the prisoners were all on shore they
were marched up along the beach to the sal.

the Fortress, and thence to their cells in the
second tier of classmates. Clement O. Clay
accompanied JEFF. Davis inside the Fortress.
Mrs Davis and herfour children and the
wife Of Clement U. Clay remained on board
the steamer Clyde, and II il thought they
will be sent South this evening, as orders
have been received from tho War Depart
ment prohibiting them from going North.
The parting between Davis and his family
is described rs extremely affecting. during
which the feelings of the once ambitious and
desperate rebel leader wero completely over

Mai. Gen. Halleck has been here during
the past three days, experimenting the ar.
engagements made for the confinement Of the
rebel prisoners.
Stringent orders in relation to visiting the
Fortress have been issued, and all civilians

! SOUTHERN ARROGANCE IN lS54.-Tt seems
to be admitted that A. Ii. Stephens is a man
generally not inferior to any man in the
country, intellectually. We observe that
there is disposition in some quarters to ex-
tol this rebel Vice President, and cite his
Georgia speech, so often quoted. to show
that clcmcncy should be shown him. We
recall to mind the language Of this Stephens
in the United States House Of Representa-
tivcs, on the passage of the Nebraska bill.
It sounds strange at this time, and our sur.
prise is great that northern doughaces could
be dashed Into such servile obedience rs they
then showed:
Well, gentlemen, you make q good deal OF
clamor on the Nebraska measure. but 1t don Z
alarm us ut all. We have got used to that
kind of talk. You have threatened before,
but have neper performed. You have always
caved in, and you will again. You aro u
mounting, white-livered set. OF course you
will oppose we expect that; but we don't
care for your opposition. You will rail, hut
we don't care for your railing. You will
hiss, but so will adders. We expect 1t OF
adders, and we expect 1t Of you. You arc
like the devils that were pitched over the
battlements OF heaven into hell. They set
up howl Of discontinue, and 10 will you.
But their fate was sealed, and so is yours.
You must submit to the yoke, but don't
chafe. Gentlemen, we have got you in our
power. You tried 10 drive rs to the wall in
1850, but times are changed. .
You went wooling, and have come home
aeeced. Don't be so impudent as to com.
plain. You will only be slapped in the face.
