Wade II Hanipton-Why ne Rode that
MuIp

The Charleston Is. c. Corier./our
nal, in a recent issue, sayA: "'rhe &C
count of the accident which was pub
lished in the News amt Courier the day
after its occurrence becnm'' known, W As
full AMI exact III every particular save
one. and that omission | now desire t.
supply, as it answers the question
which | have frequently heard asked,
why Governor Hampton, of all men,
should ever have consented to ride a
mule in deer hunt A sufficient re
ply might be made to the effect that the
Governor can ride anything any other
man can, and, therefore, felt no hesita-
tion in mounting even young unbrok-
en- mule; but the true and better reason
is that he chose to use the mule in
question rather than continue the hunt
npUn the horse which he had taken
with him, which had already done him
good service the day before, and which
he wished to spare for the reason that
it was not his own, but had been placed
at his disposal by a friend. The Cover
nor is hard rider whore his own stock
are concerned, but he is not one of that
very large class of mankind who, ac-
cording to the provrrb. are willing to
ride borrowed horse to death. He
left the horse behind, therefore, upon
principle, and took upon himself the
risk Of riding instead brute which few
other men would care to bestrde. In
this General connection may as well
mention another fact in point, which
will be appreciated by any man who
knows the Governor or who has ever
followed the lounds-to wit. that the
only real concern the Governor evinced
at the time of the accident, though suf-
fering keenly the while, was in view of
the possibility that some laundering
reporter or editor might publish to the
world that he had been thrown from
his saddle"

II he will look back he will find that
Appoquinimink Hundred was the first
to pass resolution proposing two dis
tricts out of Wilmington, making Mar
ket street the division line. | wrote
that resolution; also, as a member Of
the Legislature, in ls43, proposed to
apportion the chno fund Of our State,
according to population instead OF by
COUNTIES As is now done to this day.
Kent and Sussex voted down my reso,
luton, and | have frequently, at differ

posed to and urged the members Of
Kent and Sussex, to pass a bill allow
ing each hundred to be district, and
elect by each hundred independents
But, no; they never would agree, and
the nearest and better plan than the
present, would be- to make two counties
out of New Castle county, and as we
got along tor "ne hundred years with
three counties. think the State could
get along another hundred years with
four countess for no States that have
large cities in them keep eternally bal
ancing, and there would be no need Of
this State doing it, if Wilmington
should happen to have, as ! trust she
will, the good luck to increase greatly
over her present size. However, ! am
now beginning to get too old to take an
active part much longer. Younger men
must do it if they wish change from
the present. Cur taxes in this county
are too high, and we never can help
ourselves while Kent and Sussex hold
a two thirds vote over us. THIS pay
ing of what they call war debt out OF
New Castle county is all wrong, for the
debt was incurred for the general gov
ernment, and the general -oYernnent
should and would pay it, if it was not
for Kent and Sussex making New Castle
county pay it. SAMUEL TOWNSEND.

MEssRs. EpIToRs:-The season OF
Christmas has been more than usually
.ulivened by the corsummatiol OF two
weddings in the Presbyterian church,
one on the Thursday just before, and
tue other on the Thursday immediate
ly after Chri tmas. Of the first you
have given notice to your readers, II
needs no further bel.shment. In
reference to the latter of Walter Tat
nall, Esq, of Wilmington, TO Miss
Annie Knight of this neighborhoo', |
propose briefly to alud". II was in
is surrounding all that The happy
coupl. could have wished. The church
was tastefully decorated for tn. occa
sion, with pillars, f.stooned, wreaths
Of eytrgrreus and Of various hues and
kinds. The fes,oons commencing on
each side Of the pulpit, six in number,
surmounting III an apex front of th"
pulpit recess, surmoun,"d with grace
lul ferns and flowers arranged with
much taste, also bouquets and grasses.
the pulpit represented mound covered
with moss richly adorned with callars
and her floral offerings, presented a
rich and pleasing scenery.
The hour having arrived tor the per
formance Of the ceremony Of uniting
those whose hearts were already loy.
ingly rntwinrd, in the presence Of
numerous friends and large congre
CATION, the four ushers entered the
church, followed by the bride and
groom, the former dressed in beanti-
full and delicate blue silk, with mod
crate and graceful train, The display
of flowers and point lace was very at.
tractive. Neatne-s and taste were the
striking peculiarties of the occasion,
verifying the adage that Beauty un-
adorned is adorned the most" The
appearance of Il bride and groom AZ
they advanced to the altar, was the
admiration Of Ill present. Taking their
appropriate position with open window
blinds. the pure light of Heaven beam
ing upon them, the marriage ceremony
was beautifully performed by the pas
tor, Rev. Henry Runner, in a few min
ntes, when the congregation dispersed
to their homes. The newly married
couple returned to Mr., Anthony Rey-
bold's for refreshments. with som. Of
their friends aud family relatives, after
which they proceeded to Wilmington
TO make their home doub!v happy by
their immediate prrsenc" IN the full
'njoy ment Of coniugal felicity. d.

tlergylner are not addicted az q bo-
dy to clipping, for they are apt to be
such favorites with tn. very pious
young women of their congregations,
and with orthodox parents also, tina,
rlopements are unnecessary. But when
they do run off with their expected
brides, they rvince an activity and EN-
rrgy that are remarkable. At least one
may judge SO from the example Of Rev.
John Oliver, Il young preacher Of Bed

Emma Abbott, girl Of good family, but
in moderate circumstances, III the I'll

be won. Papa objected to divers SUIT
because he was poor. He thought En-
ma fine girl who deserved rich hus.
band. Thus balked of their DESIRES
Oliver engaged two horses and drove to
the school house where his sweetheart
IS as teaching. This was Saturday, and
having had all understanding with
John, she dismissed her pnpiIs till
Monday, and rode off with him. They
soon discovered that papa and his two
sons were in hot pursuit, with the usu-
al kentucky accompaniment of shot
guns. In danger of capture, they left
the highway, and dashed through for
est and stream until they had reached
the railway. They arrived in Cincin-
natl to find that they could not get
married unless Oliver would swear his
int, nded was an Ohioan, which he
would not do because, as a preacher, he
was opposed to lying. Moreover, see
ing posters announcing Emma Abbott S
concerts, he thought they were rewards
offered for his mistress apprehension.
They then dashed down to Lawrence
burg, Ind, where they were Joined in
wedlock, and over to Kentucky again
that he might arrive in time to preach
and she to open school Mon
day. This is model instance of com
bined business and connubial dispatch.

An Army Heau0al.

A special despatch from Washington
says:
"Army circles have been excited by
recent publication Of a scandal in which
Captain Blair of the Fifteenth Infantry,
and tn. Sidow OF the late Col. Gordon
Granger. are the central figures. After
the death Of Colonel Granger, his wild
ow settled in Washington, and, being
lady Of liberal education and fine
personal appearance, soon became
favorite in social circles. Mrs. Gran
ger is relative Of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt, who bequeathed her s2O,,
600. About year ago she married
Captain Blair, and IL now with her
husband at Santa Fe. Recently, the
United States Consul at Glasgow, Scot
land, reported to the State Department
tn q woman with two children, CIV
ing the name of Mrs. Thomas Blair
Nichols, and claiming TO be the wife OF
Captain Blair, United States Army,
had filed charges with him against her
husband for bigamy, she having Learn
tu tudL ne uhu IudIIlou MIss vi iAHkVi'
The Scotch woman alleges that Blair's
real name is Nichols; that he deserted
her about Is years ago, and enlisted
In the United States Army; and tha.
shortly prior to his marriage with Mrs.
Granger he visitel her in Scotland.
These facts we're communicated to Will
liam II. Vanderbilt, OF New York, =
the State Department, who. in turn,
( communicated them to Mrs. Granger
Blair. The lady replied that she had
already been informed Of the story,
which she pronounced untrue and ex-
pressed q determination TO adhere to
her husband. Captain Blair has OBJ
tanned leave Of absence and will visit
Washington and demand an investiga
tion Of the charges, which he pronoun-
ces false. Blair entered the Army in
] $50 as a private, and was promoted to
a Li-ut-nantcy in 1867. Prior to his
marri' g. with Mrs. Granger he visited
Scotland. The facts last stated give in
