The Southern Relief Fair.

There is now on exhibition at the rooms of
Messrs. Bendann Bros, portrait of Stone
wall jackson, executed in pastel, presented by
them as contribution to the Fair. The por-
trait is life-size. The likeness is admirable.
having been enlarged from the smaller photo
graphs recently gotten up by Messrs Ben
damn from photograph furnished them by a
member of General Jackson's staff 1t is very
different from all likenesses heretofore pub
llshed and the only accurate one. This picture
is worked up in the most careful and artistic
manner. 1t is to be ratified for.
AS an evidence of the widespread interest
which is manifested in this charity, we may
state that Nine. Celeste gave on Saturday a
grand matinee at the st. Charles Theatre, in
New Orleans for the benefit of the Fair. The
propIietors of the building rendered her the
use of it gratuitously. The appeal of the
Maryland ladies was printed at the head of
the play bills.
There has been some uneasiness expressed
by some of the managers lest many persons
should abstain from visiting the Fair without
some restraint is exercised over the saleswo-
men to prevent them from being too urgent
in their solicitations to purchasers The fol-
lowing resolution has, therefore, been unani-
mously adopted by the lady managers:
ReSoloed, That at the Southern Relief Fair
there shall be no solicitation to buyer and all
change for articles sold shall be promptly re-
turned.
We are also requested by the managers to
state that seperate table has been set aside
as a contribution table. All articles not sent
to private individuals, but to the Fair, are to
be collected at this table, where they will be
ticketed with the contributors name and dis
posed of-B0H Gazette

Arrest in Paris.

A Paris letter says that the city has been a
little startled by the arrest of prince and
princess, who had been shining there with
great lustre at the expense of credulous people.
The prince is splendid looking fellow; the
princess is one of the most beautiful women
ever seen here. When she entered theatre,
the audience would almost rise in homage to
her extraordinary beauty. Poor woman! she
is really of noble birth; her family is one of the
ancient families of Hungary An adventurer
of Irish extraction met her; dazzled her by his
princely title, and married her. He had OBJ
tanned money from some source, before his
marriage; her money lasted for little time ;
the credulity of tradesmen seemed beundless f;
but even the talisman "prince" loses its powers
when unaccompanied with gold. One day the
tradesmen insisted upon money. None was
forthcoming Tho police were called in, and
the prince discovered to be not only an adven-
turer, but convict from some Irish or CONT
mental prison. The poor woman has brought
suit for divorce; but it is questionable if she
succeeds. A young, beautiful, and wealthy
Swiss girl was entrapped six months ago into
a marriage by French convict who had served
his time out, and has, as yet, failed to break
the chains she has forged.

New MATRIMONIAL ARRANGEMENT. We
have learned that the matrimonial question is
the one which now most agitates the Africans
in our city. Col. Thomason, it appears, re-
quires every negro man who is living with
wench to come, forthwith, pay him So so for
marriage license, and get joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock. And further, he requires all
negroes who have been married to obtain Ger
tfcates from him in sanction of the alliance,
for which they have also to pay So so. In
view of this state of affairs,-the negroes are
moving around seeking for the whereabouts o.
the small change, and speaking very disparag-
ingly of the bureau" The negroes are begin
ming to look very suspiciously at the insttu-
ton, and think that it is, at the least, very
doubtful affair.-LouisUiUe Courier.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON THE WEST VIRGIL
MIA REGISTRATION LAw-While in Wash
ington last week we called upon President
johnson and asked him the direct question,
what he thought of the wisdom and propriety
of adopting our constitutional amendment dis
franchising rebels. The substance of his an
swer in this: That if the Union men of West
Virginia thought there was danger of the
State Government getting into hands of con-
tumacious and unrepentant rebels, it was right
to disfranchise them but if there was no dan
ger of this, then, Of course, the measure was
unnecessary, and he would not recommend us
to adopt it. But he said it was local ques-
ton, of the wisdom of which the Union men
of the State should be their own judges. Will
the Copperheads of this county endorse
