Description Of the Young Lady's We'd
ding and Travelling Dresses.
The Washington Chronicle has pos
sessed itself of description of the
wedding outfit of Miss Irene Rucker,
| daughter of General D. FL. Rucker, of
that city, who was married yester-
day to General Philip Henry Sheridan.
The Chronicle describes the bride elect
as "a jolly-looking girl of nineteen or
thereabouts, and gives the following
description OF the wedding dress:
The brides dress for the interesting
ceremony is of soft, white Persian silk,
thick and lustrous, with a simmer
light over it's rich, thick cords, like the
reflection OF harvest moon on Sleep
ing lake. It will be made up in man
ner beftting the youth and beauty of
the bride, and not scrap of lace, how
ever costly, will adorn it's silky white
ness, but it will be trimmed with soft,
heecy, lovely tulle. The skirt will be
cut IN Princess train, with founce
of intricate design. The overskirt will
be marvel of workmanship and taste;
the corsage will be high, with elbow
| sleeves.
The long circular will be worn over
this, falling to the hem of the train in
the back, and nearly to the waist in
front. 1t will be fastened on the dark
hair of the brunette bride with coro-
| net OF orange flowers. The corsage
will be one mass of most exquisite buds,
and wherever loop or fold is placed it
will be caught together by spray of
orange blossoms. Many Of the decora-
tive features of this dress are entirely
new French designs. The travelling
dress will be of brown silk, trimmed
very deliberately with the two shades of
silk and third in fringe A hat to
match with long, dropping ostrich
plume. Several elegant hats have been
ordered, the dress hat being of white
chip, with profus1on of delicate and
costly French flowers.
A Patriotic Girl.
At the time General Green reiterated
before Lord Rawdon from Ninety-Six,
when he had passed Broad river he was
very desirous to send an order to Gen.
Sumter, who was on the Wateree, to
join him, that they might attack Raw
don, who had divided his force. But
the General could find no man in that
part of the state who was bold enough
to undertake SO dangerous a NISSAN.
The country to be passed through for
many miles was full of bloodthirsty
tories, who, on every occasion that Of
| fered, imbrued their hands in the blood
of the wings. At length Emily Geiger
presented herself herself to General
Green, and proposed to act as messen-
ger; and the General, both surprise
and delighted, closed with her proposal
He accordingly wrote letter and dl.
livered it, and at the same time co e.
municated the contents of it verbam-
to be told to Sumter in case of ally,
dents.
Emily was young, but as to her per-
son or adventures on the way we have
no further information, except that she
was mounted on horseback upon side
saddle, and on the second day of her
| journey she was intercepted by Lord
Rawdon's scouts. Coming from the
direction of Green's army, and not
being able to tell an untruth without
blushing, Emily was suspected and con-
fined to room; and as the officer in
command had the modesty not to search

matron as more fitting for that purpose.
Emily was not wanting in expedient,
and as soon as the door was closed and
the hustle little subsidized, she ate up
the letter piece by piece. After. a while
/ the matron arrived, and upon searching
carefully, nothing was to be found OF
suspicious nature about the prisoner,
and she would disclose nothing. Sus-
picion being thus allayed, the officer
commanding the scouts suffered Emily
to depart whittier she said she was
bound; but she took route somewhat
circuitous to avoid further detention,
and soon after struck into the road to
| Sumter's camp, where she arrived III
safety. Emily told her adventure, and
delivered Green's verbal message to
| Sumter, who in consequence, soon after
Joined the main army at Orangeburgh.
