series of resolutions, which were adopted, tho
principal one being as follows:
"Resolved, That the several States compris-

A DIsTRHaslSG CAsE.--A man by the name
OF Wilton came 10 this city some years ago,
and became n sergeant IN the Public Guard.
About two years ago he engaged the affections
of n very young and amiaDle girl, residing
near the canal, married her, and became the
father OF children Some time before The sur
render, he concluded 10 20 North, under the
pretext of making 4 better provision for ms
family. Leaving his young wife with her
aged mother, 10 battle with poverty Is besi
she might, he succeeded in running the block
ade, and turned up il New York, whence he
wrote most afectionaIely and gave very
fattering accounts of his business, aud since
the surrender made his business an apology
for not returning. His wife, believing ms
statements implicitly, felt, nevertheless, an
irrcsistib impulse 10 90 on 10 see HIM, but
having lost every thing by the fire in April
last was unable 10 go. Nothing daunted, She
with her mother, worked mos; mdustriOusy
and earned money enough 10 make the trip.
On reaching New York, judge of her surprise
and distress 10 find her husband had wife
and four children with prior claims upon
him-he being married man before coming
10 Virginia.
The poor woman, with n crushed heart,
made this melancholy announcement 10 her
mother, from whom, with the aid of friends,
she received money enough 10 return home,
when she was taken down, seemingly with
out any positive disease, and pined away until
death ended her sorrows. She was yesterday
committed 10 an early grave.
Wilton, we believe, during his residence
here bore 4 good character, but by this act
has brought upon himself an eternal weight OF
iutamy.
