' The very intelligent New York correspondent of tbe Philadelphia Ledger writes' on the 10th: "With reference to resumption, be ex presses tbe opinion tbat before there is a sufficient supply of silver dollars in this country to make the gold value or tbe 412 grain tbe practical par for all coin obliga tions, which supply, be .says, can. hardly be obtained inside of three years, tbe peo ple will demand such a revision of tbe laws as will leave gold and gold paper tbe only money of account.

Our great Sobtbern "actress is no; longer Miss Mary Anderson! She was married to Lieutenant Fremont,? son of Gen. John C. and Jesse Fre-j mont,' in New York city, 'and imme diately sailed for Europe. The Lieu tenant is on board ' bis own ship, and ' will meet his handsome bride in Paris. This is the account that appears in the Frankfort, (Ky.) Yeoman.

Her father is & civil engineer. : They were married last October. Tu Bud ofibe Cabarrus Bnocb Arden ChaTlotte Observer.l " It will be remembered jthat some time ago the Observer told the story of an Enoch Arden case in Cabarrus. A Miss Dodson had married a Mr. Earnhardt, and after awhile he left. In the coarse of: time she j was mar ried to a Mr Misenheimer, and years afterwards Mr. -Earnhardt returned to find his wife surrounded by a fami ly of children not his own. Unlike the historic Arden, he did j not, after looking in i through the open window y upon the? i happy scene, wipe a tear from :; his J sun burnt face and refuse to I disturb it, but he wanted to claim his own. The wife which was formerlyj his asked for a divorce from him, and at the last term of Cabarrus court, just closed, the case was heard and the divorce granted. Mr. .Misenheinier then, very properly, took steps to have the "legitimacy of bis children established, and next Monday he will be remarried to the woman of whose joys and sorrows he has for the last half 'dozen years been ra faithful sharer. . i Kllza Plukstoa ladersed.
