EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGEs.-Someo of the
most remarkable. marriages that have ever
taken p ace are those in which the brides
came to the altar partly or in many cases en-
tirely divested of clothing. 1t was formerly
a common notion that if a man married IL
woman en- etemizefte he was not liable for her
debts, and in Notes and Queries there is an
account by clergyman of the celebration OF
such a marriage some years ago. lie tells
us that. as nothing was said in the rubric
about the woman's dress. he did not think it
right to perform the marriage service. AT

done, he must be uncommonly stupid who


does not soon bring the army to a new serie:


of victories. Here let me say, that whatever


you in the East may think, the West is deter


mined; determined that the whole valley OF


the Mississippi shall nerer depart from this


government, either by domestic treason or for

ken on the Mississippi, (Vicksburg) and the


capture of that is delayed by mere expedien-
cy. The cotton trade is already revived, and


large quantities are brought to Gin cinnati
from Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.


In reference to peace, you have only to
take the map and the historical facts, sand give
them calm examination, to see that the war
cannot possibly end except in one of two
words Submission or destruction. Suppose
Europe were to try its hand on recognition !?


Who will they recognize The East side or
the West side of the Mississippi? The whole
of Virginia or half of it? Tennessee in the
occupation of our troops, Or Louisiana with
our governor in New Orleans? Where is
the country they are to recognize? And
where is the country We are to make peace
with ? The thing is simply impossible, and
the war will go on, in spite of all the earth,
till the South is literally destroyed, or sub
mts to the just government: of the United
States. You may, with your single arm, roll
a rock from the mountain verge, but ten
thousand men cannot stop it. How far is the
South from being actually destroyed at this
very moment. New Orleans and Charleston

remarks, which it is hoped viii be read with

look to the government to exeTciseits power with

vernment with its almost omnipotent power. We
appeal to the lGdieS-whOse influence and exam

that influence in urging every nsn to bis duty.

Franklin, is seldom good at anything else. Let

SLAVE TRADE IN ENGLAND.-The existence
Of the slave trade in England is affirmed by the
Liverpool Merea7y, in the following paragraph:


For the first time, the Washington govern
ment has set to work in thorough earnest to ful-
ill its treaty obligations and TO suppress that
infamous traffic in human flesh and blood, the
headquarters Of which have hitherto been fixed
at New York. The consequence is that alTeady
the slave traders have discovered New York 10
be no place for them, and that the American
branch Of the business is to great extent sup
pressed. But the nefarious trade is too protita-
bic one to be given up without struggle, and
its managers, finding that they can no longer fit
out their ships IN New York, have resolYedaon
transferring the scene Of their operations else
where. Liverpool viii suit them almost as well
as New York, and in this town, therefore, until
they are rooted by the authorities, have these
wretches with singular audacity established
themselves"

the want of water, and yet none. was to be had.
Why this neglect Whose duty is it2 We sup
posed, of course, that the officers connected


with the cars were the proper persons to see to
this matter We suggest that the proper military
authorities take it in hand, and infSrce this duty

WASHINGTON, Nay 9, 1852.
Official dispatches received hero Indicate that the
enemy large force and strongly intrsnched near
williamsburg and that they intend TO dispute At that
point the further passage Of our army.
There had been some brisk fighting, in which General
Hancock had taken two redoubs and repulsed Earlys
rebel brigade by brilliant bayonet charge.
In this engagement General Hancocks forces are said
to have killed two rebel coonels two lieutenant colo
nes and captured colonel and hundred and fifty
prisoners.


General Mcclellan highly compliments General Han
cocks conduct.


At the time Of tho sending Of the dispatches loss
was not known but supposed TO be considerable,
in proportion to tho extent Of the engagement, as the
fighting was very severe.

THE RADIcALs.-Since the failure of the
radicals, led on by the Tribune and like sheets,
to force the President to adopt their silly poll
cy to issue an imbeciIe proclamation to abolish
slavery in States where no Federal soldier has
vet obtained a foOtbold, it is evident that party
are endeavOring to hamper the Government by
discouraging eRlistments. Most Of the militia
ry mistakes committed by the Government are
attributable to the efforts of the radicals, who
occupy the time of the Administration with
their foolish theories and thus preclude the pos
siblity Of its giving proper attention to serious
matters.

1t will be gratifying to our readers to


learn that Brigadier General Denver has


been assigned to the command Of the Dis
:rict of Kansas, and that he will arrive
soon to assume the duties of his position.
The District under bis command will In
clude what was heretofore known as the
Department of Kansas, and the troops in
the field, except those on the Southern bor-
der Of the State, who will report to Gen
Curtis, in Arkansas.


No man could have been assigned to the
command here who would give more per-
feet satisfaction to the people Of Kansas,
than General Denver. He has been long
known to US, and through his entire civil
career in the Territory, none can point to
single action that marks him other than an
upright, honest officer, as well as polished
gentleman. He enjoys alike the confidence
of the people of Kansas and his military
in the Department and at Wash
ington. Relieved from his duties here, he
was given command of an important divi-
sion in Western Virginia and in returning
him to his former field of action, the Gov.
ernment has acted in manner which must
be entirely satisfactory, no less to the peo-
pie Of the State than to the military forces
which will be under his command. Wei
