The McVEAs WEDDisG.-We a short time since
noticed the approaching nuptias of this most dis
tnguished member of the Louisiana legislature as he
is called by the New York Sun, and any further au-
sion the fellow might be deemed supererogatory But
leaving McVean himself entirely out of the question:
conceive that correct insight could be had
into the arcana of Northern society, than to note the
great parade made the marriage of such man.
1t shows stronger than words the low state of society
there. 1t makes manifest the truth of the charge often
brought by the Northern press ITSELF that shoddy rules
the roast in that ylovng portion of the vineyard
Not only this, but it shows how little of sympathy
lists there for the suerngs of the Southern people.
When base adventures, without character and with
out shame can come among US, practising every mean
and rascally trick known to the Yankees them
selves, and then return the North be eted and
caressed and applauded the echo for his successful
knavery and thievng, when say this thing is done,
the morals of people must be low indeed. Verify,
mammon is the only god recognised in the Northern
heart. But we will not longer withhold from our
readers the account of the wedding given in the New
York Express. Read and weep!

The JACKSON TRAGEDY.-Through the kindness of
a friend we are permitted to make the following
tracts from ladys private letter. to lady in this city
1t shows such true nobility of heart in the widow of
the late Col Crane, cannot but add if anything
be added to the profound sympathy felt for the be-
reaved lady by the people Of Mississippi We quote
y When Rev. DR.. Crane got to
Browns store he found Col Crane lying with bis feet
on the pavement and his head and body in the store
Just weltering in bis blood and dead. On the floor,
cnging to the dead body of her husband, and covered
with his blood, was his wife, calling him by every
dearing name, mploring him to speak once more
She surrounded by men and negroes no female
near her. While Rev. Dr. Crane knelt by her, trying
to do what he could for her. the negro preacher Lynch
stopped over her and said to her You shall be re-
venged.' DR.. Crane told him that was no place for
such language; if he could say nothing to soothe
her he must be quiet. Finally, Mrs Crane in
duced to enter carriage, where they joined by
Mrs. Judge Jefords and Mrs Major Eagan and all
went to Dr. Cranes residence. Here the awful trial
the scene was truly heartrending.
Mrs. Crane was seated in chair, covered with her
husbands blood. She looked up at me and smiled,
but, oh such smile. She threw her arms aroundm me,
and asked me if knew Joseph had been murdered,
calling him by every tender name. l almost shrieked
with agony. / got water and washed the blood from
her hands. never witnessed such agony. The ladies
wept. The tears streamed down the cheeks of the Off
GERS. Mrs. Crane begged to go home at once to her
her two sons-to the home where she had
gone when first married. where her husband had made
ler life one Of happiness, &c. She sang; she
'aved but suddenly she turned and said: Judge JEFF
ords and DR.. Crane, I call upon you to hear my
words Judge Jeffords, by all the love you bore my
husband and know he your dearest friend-your
partner in law for seven long years-by all the love
7ou bore him. beseech you to use all the influence
you have to save the man who murdered him.
Jcseph is in the bands of his Goblet that God be
lis avenger. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord
ct not Mr.. Yerger fall into the hands of man let no
blood be split let my husbands blood be offered
peace let it cry to heaven for peace for this
ry let it be the martyrs blood crying for peace
Turing to DR.. Crane she said Doctor Crane preach
his to ALL would go and see Mrs Yerger if could
md tell her have feelings Of revenge She threw
herself in the arms of DR.. Crane, and screamed look
ng perfectly demented."
