Prof. T. ]. Rodhouse, of Columbia
formerly of this city, and Miss Melissa
Jesse were happily united in marriage
Friday evening at the home of the
bride in the southwestern part oi
Mexico. Rev. N. 4. Pittman per-
formed the marriage ceremony in
beautiful and impressive language.
Prof. Rodhouse is a young educator
of sterling worth and for number OF
years has been teaching in the State
University. The bride is an accom-
plished and charming young lady and
stands high in the estimation of hel
many friends. The friends of the
couple gave them many useful sno
handsome presents.
After the ceremony the bridal party
was served with light refreshments
prepared under the skilled direction
of Mrs. Kate Steele.
The bride was robed in a handsome
travelling suit of blue, while the
groom departed from the usual con
ventional black and wore a hand.

Only a few relatives and Gloss
friends were present. The happ,
couple departed at 1858 for Columbia

the good wishes of all who know
them.
The LEDGER also wishes to exten,
congratulations.

Death Rata IN Rattla.

The Boston Traveller says: "Of the
fifteen decisive battles of the world,
the average death rate in the last i've
Of them (of which alone reliable sta
tistics are preservedD was about 25
per cent, ranging from 20 per cent.
the British loss at Saratoga, TO AZ per
cent. the loss of the Swedes at Pull
towa. OF other great battles it is diff
ficult to fix the average death rate,
though it may be estimated at about
20 per cent. The rates range from 0.9
(the German loss at Sedan in Septem-
Der, 1870, ito so per cent, the British
loss at Bloody Albuera. AS matter
of fact, things stand very much as they
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when 1t does occur, always comes more
quickly. A great battle in which the
quick firing guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase
the death rate largely, but that re-
mains to be proved. General statis-
tics prove that since the Trojan war,
5000 years ago, not single year has
elapsed in which some war has not
caused the killing of a large number
of men, while it Is calculated that all
the worlds wars are responsible for
the deaths of fourteen billions OF
human beings"

LETTER FROM FRANK ROBERTS.

Mrs. Thomas Roberts, Mexico, Mo.
CHICKAMAUGA, GA, June Dear
Mamma: l am well and think I am
gaining flesh; everything seems to
agree with me, even to sleeping on
the ground. We had clothes issued to
us on the 9th. Everyone that had
straw in their tents had to clean 1t up
and burn it.
Everyone is as brown as ginger. 1t
suits me all right. Most all of the
boys have turned out their mustache
or whiskers; some of them look quite
comical.
Everyone in camp is broke. Our
pay won't come until the first of July,
but it is good thing, for If they had
money they would be eating all the
time and make themselves sick. Lots
of the fellows kick on what they have
to eat, but they will neither starve or
get sick on it. We have only one man
sick in the hospital and he is able to
eat. Every thing is about the same
here all the time.
Your loving son,

STRENGTH AT HAVANA.
Province Abandoned and Troops Con-
centrated in the Capital.

KEY WEST, June l0.-According to
private advices, Havana now has a
garrison Of $4,000 Spanish regulars
and half as many volunteers. The
interior of Havana province has been
abandoned to the Insurgents, who
make daily attacks on the picket
lines in the suburbs cf the capital.
1t is common talk that Blanco will
surrender after a merely nominal re-
sistance. He has lost confidence in
the volunteers, refusing to arm many
Independent companies, for fear that
they would join the insurgents.
Spanish merchants of Havana say
they have provisions for six months,
but the shelves of ihe warehouses are
empty, and every day many shops
close their doors.
The reconcentrados and families ol
laborers are starving In their homes
without attempting to drag them
selves into the streets to beg bread
which is never given them.
