A Wedding in the water On Satur day last, the citizens of Bridgeport, on the margin of th river, at the mouth of Indian Wheeling Creek, were not a little amused at the expense of the two lovers, who were determined on com mitting matrim ny. but had failed in procuring a marn.ige license. A wag directed them to a person who, he said, had lately been elected a Justice of the Peace, but had not yet received a com mission, in cousequence of which he could not marry pedple in this state, but that he had ample authority in Vir ginia. Being near night, no time was lost in finding the person to whom they had been directed, who readily agreed to marry them on the Virginia side of the line. To save the trouble of crossing to the island, it was pro posed that they should wade into the river, cross the line, and thire perform the ceremony. To this they instantly rented. The people had collected to see the fun, when, all repaired to the water s edge. Upon examination by those who professed to know, the State line was discovered to be a short dis tance from the shore. With a willing step the groom ventured in, accomp nied by his loving bride, the attendant and the squire, and waded into f ir ginia, where they tound themselves to the depth of three feet in water. After fortifying the muscles of his fare in order to prevent an untimely discovery ot his assumed authority, the grave Justice joined them in the bonds ot wedlock. As soon as they regained the shore, the happy pair was greeted by all present. The bride was more than once saluted with kisses and In dian crackers. St. ClairsvUle Gaz. Frtm the Alexandria Phenix. We take great plesare in giving currency to the merited encomiums on the able and ef fective administration of the late Secretary of War. The following high compliment from a writer in the Natioiial Intelligencer, must be the more gratify ing to the feelings of Mr. Cal houn, because of his consciousness of having Reserved it. He has been a profitable and a laithful servant to his country, and her high est honors will yet be his reward. To the Editors of the National Intelligencer. The late Administration of the War Department.--The administration of yir. Calhoun, of the Department of V ar. being terminated, may now, be spoken of with greater freedom, without incurring the imputation ot flattery. ' . It may be safely affirmedthat uo ad ministration has ever been more suc cessful. When the late Secretary came into the Department, it was without or gamzation. It is now in complete organ ization. There was then an average of an unsettled account of nearly 845,000,- 000, all ot which, except about 82,500,- 000 are now settled. 1 he currenfcbu siness of the Department, instead ofbe ing then kept up, was continually fall ing in arrears.- By him it has been so completely kept under control, that he has left the Department without a single unsettled case. The army was then in a state of distraction. It is now in that of nearly complete harmony, and its discipline, and organization, and sci ence,so much improved, that it .i ay be honorably compared with the most per feet military establishments. Nor has he been unmindful of the disburse ment of the Department. These have been reduced to the most exact econo my and strict accountability far exced iijg that of any preceding period. It may be almost litetidly affirmed, that the .money appropriated by Congress has been applied to the objects for which it wasppropriated, pot only promptly and economically, but without loss of a cent to the government. These brief remarks are made, not with a view of eulogising, but to do jus tice to a distinguished statesman. . For their accuracy; appeal to all those whose situation- has afforded them the mean! of forming a correct judgment &''?yi!
