WINNIE DApls ERaAaED.
Tho Daugh htcr of The CouEcsieracy 10
Marry u Northern aIau.

NEW YoRK, April 1G.--A dispatch to
the Heyd d from syracuse, N. Y, an
nouncas the coming marriage of Miss
Winnie Davis, daugbtsr OF Jefferson
Davis, the late President of the short
lived Southern Oonfsderscy, to Mr. Alfred
Wilkinson of Syracuse, the grandson of
Samuel j. May, the great Abolitionist
leader.
The event is OF more than ordinary
significlnce owing TO its bearing or the
birth and fall of the rebellion. This
marriage, when accomplished, will unite
two families who have been heretofore
the most 'mplacable political foes, and TO
whose efforts the f5rceness and feryor OF
the rebellion are largely due.
Mr. wilkinson is a son of John Wi,kin-
son, prominent figure in local history,
and the grandson of the Rev. Samuel J.
May. The Rev. Mr.. May wGs the pioneer,
with Garrison, Emerson, Phillips and
longteliow, in the great WORK for the
abolition of slavery. Not only in the
United States, but in Europe also, did he
| fight for the abolition cause. In Crest
Britain especially Mr. May lectured upon
slavery to large audiences. After his re-
moval to Syracuse Mr.. May continued to
be very active and prominent in promot
ing the enti-slavery reform. Hundreds
of men, women and children, fleeing
from bondage aud bound for Canada,
came to him for pro oction and help and
they ney came in vain.
! Mas Winnie Davis came north some
four years ago to visit DR.. Thomas
Emory in this city. At one of the re-
oeptions given in her honor she was in.
troduced to MIR. Alfred Wilkinson. II
will be remembered that Miss Winnie
resolved very cool reception in one or
two houses here, and this trss, ment OF
the "DEughter OF ths Oonfederaoy" is
said TO have brought her and Mr.. VIII
kinson in very CLOSE relations. he rs.
sented the ooolness ehown her and gal.
lantly championed Eer cause, The
friendship thus engenderel between
them hlossoped into love in due time
Miss Winnie later on went to Europe.
Mr.. Wilkinson some two months agc
crossed the ocean to see Miss Davis and
spent several weeks with her Sightseeing
on the continent and pressing his suit.
When he returned they were betrothed.
MIR. Wilkinson is lawyer as years oi
age. His income is moderate but he i:
highly esteemed.
