MARRGAGE EXTRA0RHIHARY. An cA;r.ii'

Union Methodist Epnaopal Church, Rev NJ

celebrated tanner Of horses by profession, was
united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mis-,

groom is rather below the middle stature OF
mankind in point Of size and weight, he scarce
ly turning the beam at one hundred and forty
pounds. The bride weighs five hundred and
eighty Ave ayoirdupo;s. She has been "Xhibi-
ted at Judge Ingalls, Museum, on Market
street, for some time past. Mr. Rein on visi-
ting the establishment, fell violently in love
with the fair giantcss, proposed marriage, and,
- of course, she said yes. Last evening, at
eight o clock the carriages drew up before the
museum, and the twain, soon to be made one,
entered therein and proceeded to the church,
! The bridal party consisted ofthe Siamese twins
Chang and Eng-and other celebrities OF

visitors were the most observed Of all Observ-

bond in accordance with the plain usage of the

Prosnects Of the Souih.

There seems much interesting testimony that
the negroes generally are willing to work and
are hiring themselves to work. Their conduct
during the Christmas week has been cxempla-
ry, and even in Louisiana, the only reason why
they have heSitated has been that they Thought
they ought to have more wages. This is a
common opinion, North Us well az South,
where the operatives think an increase right
FErrc is but one test that We know of ~ to
what the planters can afford to give, and that
= @hat they were accustomed To- give for the
hire nt nrVrncS before the war broke out, with
one ar twu additional considerations, such a.
;hc Increased cost of the clothing the negroes
wear and the additional price that cotton
brings.
! 1t used to be a remark among large planter,
that as long as cotton brought six cent, pound
; it was the most profitable crop the planter
could raise. When cotton was up to ten and
eleven cents, those who hired used 20 provide
! food and house room and clothing for the
hands, and from $3.50 to $500 a year for the
| hire Of = good hand. Now, cotton will certain.
| ly bring more than double the old price, but
| the planters expenses of all kinds will also be
! higher, perhaps double and therefore it con-
not be expected that more than the same wa
geS should be given as used to be paid for their
hire. But this can certainly be afforded by
the planters and even far less than this would
make the negro more comfortable than ever be-
! fore, seeing he would thus obtain all that he
then got and $3.50 besides for the extra price
Of clothing and for the support of the aged,
sick and young. The demand for cotton and
the hope Of high price will stimulate all good
planters to offer every possible inducement :
1t seems to be doing so already The negroe,
and whites are thus tied together BY the great
laws Of common interest and there appear,
every prospect of cotton crop next year which
though it may not quite come up to old times
will be fast approach towards it. Tennessee,
this year, which has entered more completely
into the new ideas than any other Southcrl
State, has raised better cotton crop than per
haps ever before, and higher prices are ask,
for land In Georgia satisfactory agreement
are being made with the negroes, aud So il

The transactions in Government Stocks ara not

enough done in the miscellaneous list to make
