A Fearful Position. A mournful marriage
is rather merrily j related in a recent Kentucky
paper.'! Two rare specimens of rural simplicity,
Mary and Isaac by name, came in railway haste
to the Spencer House; and inquired of the clerk
the speediest process by which they could be made
man and wife. When he imparted the requisite
information,) they both became suddenly over
come with the responsibility of their posi
tion, and fearfully impressed with the awful fu
ture -before them, and at once, burst into tears,
and fell, like crying children into each others
arms. ! ' So grieved did they seem, that they
were told if they had repented there wa3 no ne
cessity of marrying, and that they had better
return home a3 they came. To this they objec
ted, and Mary, drying her eyes for a moment,
said they had run off to get married, and mar.
ry they must, to which Isaac silently consented
Here they indulged in a fresh fit of weeping,
and hung on each others necks with steaming
optics apparent victims to a fate they could
not resist. Persuasion and reasoning were em
ployed in vain. They would weep, and they
would get married. So, someone induced Isaac
and Mary they would not be separated to get
into a carriage, and drive to the Probate Court
for a license. There they did the lacrymose
again very copiously, but their hearts were till
firm: ) Tbev looked through teanui oros at, tne
dread shape of marriage, and though they trem
bled, they did not fly. The license was obtained
and back thev went to the Spencer House. I A
clerevman was secured, and as soon . as he had
asked them to stand ud. in order to havelthe
ceremony performed, they set up such a regular
boo-hoo as is rarely witnessed outside of jlow
comedv on the staere. The parson was aiarmea
the lookers-on were surprised, and D. D. told
them very blandly if they were not prepared for
the serious and
well to postpone ; the affair, at least until they
were composed'. "o po-po-post-ponemeht,
blubbered out Isaac ; "we mu-must get spliced."'
"Yes." said Marv, "we ca-can't help cry in' :
but we are bound bound to get married."
Thus assured, the service went on, and at ;iast
the minister pronounced them man and wife
declaration that was received with a burst of
aqueous agony that surpas! all previous ef
forts. The spectators of the strange scene could
no longer repress an audible smile, and leftrthe
newly wedded pair to themselves and their tears.
Soon after, the wedded weepers were induced
to retire to their room, where they remained un
til late in the morning. " When they appeared at
breakfast they " seemed very well satisfied with
each other and wedlock, and their face$ bore no
trace of their late sorrow, which had given place
to many smiles and the presence of a jocund joy.
They returned, homa on the afternoon train,
quite as happy as persons usually are under sim
ilar circumstances, and here we leave them to
their fate and to their truer causes for copious
tears. ' I
A South Carolina View of thk Lincoln Es
capade. The Charleston Courier of Monday,
under the caption ''Sneaking into Place," says:
History records several instances of rulers snea,
king out of place and power, to avoid the indig
nant vengeance of an oppressed or deluded peo
ple, but A. Blinkun enjoys the distinction of be
ing the first President elect who sneaked and
skulked into the site of his official inauguration.
After a public show from Springfield to New
York, and after ! stopping at as many places a3
possible, and after a general, exhibition through
the Metropolis, the President of the ruined Union
suddenly affects obscurity and skulks incog into
Washington. As long as he was on Free Negro
Soil, he was ojen to all comers, and after his
fashion and abilities, was opening his mouth
on all occasions, although hot with as much
sense of his own situation as was "exhibited by
the animal that Baalam bestrode. When he ap
proaches, however, the limits of the region ii
which a white man; is recognized, and consider
ed as; a white manJand the negro is free to work
and to be fed and clothed, .the tongue of Lincoln
is silent, and he- sueaks in disguise into Wash
ington. ' t I
The place hunters of the Metropolis of Misrule
were not to be favored, as tho loungers in all
bar room and chop houses along the line West
had been, with the privilege of gazing on the
mighty rail splitter, or of hearing the eloquent
assurance that '"'nobodr is hurt." i I I
Can it be that . A. Blinkum can thus easily
subside into himself? Is there no divinity that
hedges him in ? No effluvium of majesty or dig
nity that would reveal his real character to any
observer, just as Falstaff knew a Prince by in
stinct? I
Is this the chosen savior, whose advent was to
bring peace to a distracted Confederacy of States ?
H as it not due the high and mightv dictator
Scott that the arrival of "the coming man"
should be trumpeted,rthat the myrmidons could
be arrayed in double colunins of defence and ho
nor? i
A. Blinkum sneaking into Washington ja fit
sequel of John Brown marching in disguise to
Harper's Ferry. 1 j
How much more will it require to teach the
border States that the question with them is not
whether the Union is or shall ' be dissolved,! but
whether they will go North or South, and whe
ther the separation shall be peacetul or not :
Marshal Rynders ox the Crisis. Marshal
Rynders made a speech in New York the other
day. ' We quote from it a single passage, which
will show where the famous Marshal is : 1
True Democrats at the North will never fight
against the South. If that is treason, let them
indict roe tor it; or if it is misprision of treason,
let me be doubly indicted. The Democrat who
would fight against the South is more than half
a Republican. If a Democratic company volun
teers to go South, I say to them, you are traitors
f-to your country, and I trust that the destroying
angel will pass over you in the night time,) like
over the host Sennacherib, and that the rising
sun will look down upon the upturned faces and
fixed, glaring eyes of your corpses.
A voice "You are a political demagogue."
Kynders I won t go on till that man is; put
our ; Are you at raid to put mm out, you d d
cowardly set? Man is put out. Three cheers
are given for Rynders, who proceeds. Who
brought this trouble on our land? Not our
selves. We had no hand in dissolving the Union.
We did all we could to avoid these troubles.
But if war comes, and I have to fight, I will fight
to the death for South Carolina. Hurrah for
Rynders !J

abundantly supplied with the means of subsis

HERALD, SATURDAY
The Compound Artillery Rifle.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal, i of Com.
A few days since I wa3 invited to witness the
action and inspect the mechanism ., of a i new in
strument of death, which was invented by that
wonderful contriver, Mr. William McCord, of
th's village. I had heard marvelous accounts of
its anticipated powers, but was too cautious and
skeptical not to entertain many doubt3 of its suc
cess. Mr. McCord, in the presence of several in
telligent gentlemen, exhibited land explained it3
structure, and made a very satisfactory report or
its functions. ; '
The piece having two barrels, was fired at the
rate of two hundred and forty discharges per min
ute ; and, though a mere modeL at the distance
of eighty yards the bnUets were driven through
a hemlock board, all passing through the same
holes. It is a perfect volcano a genuine infer
nal machine. It is destined to revolutionize
warfare It will be considered preposterous to
march up a'body of men against such a whole
sale death-dealing instrument as this, certainly,
is. It is no flying 'machine,' or Atlantic ! Tele
graph, or crude fancy rising above the earth for
a moment and transmitting a single indefinite
and uncertain message, to be dissipated by sci
ence and experiment. It i3 a stupendous reality
and will attract the serious consideration , of all
who have to do with offensive or defensive war
fare. I have thought that some account of it
would be of interest to your numerous readers.
The weight of the model is IOd lbs., exclu
sive of the axle and a pair of light sulky, wheels
on which it is- mounted. It has two barrels,
carrying ball3 which weigh 40 to the pound.
The breech of the barrels consists of detachable
chambers which are loaded in large numbers,
and being prepared with a percussion tup on a
nipple at the centre of the but end, 'arc pliced
in a hopper or. grinding trough ifroni ; which
they are made to enter the sliding breech -receiver
by the action of the alternating ramrods.
When the detached chamber containing the load
has entered the sliding breech receiver, tio which
it i3 nicely adapted, by a lateral movement; it is
brought opposite the barrel, now made j entire j
at the same instant the spring hammer isj rpisedj
the cap struck, and the gun dischargei! 'The
breach chamber is, now ma.de to fal I into a re
ceiver, - a reversed faction of the sliding! breech
receiver; carries it in a position to receive anoth
er loaded chamber, and so on until the hopper

A Prospective Stampede from VirUinia. ;
The Richmond Enquirer has private advices froin
the different parts of the State, which inform it,
that a large number of the largest . slaveholders'
in Virginia, are already making preparations for;
an exodus. We have ourselves reliable informa
tion to the same effect. When this prbspectivef
stampede shall once become present and actual,!
none can predict, the extetyt to which it srill be
carried. Some opine that some of our largest
and most flourishing agricultural districts will
be left as destitute as the wilderness of Jamaica. ;
Even if it shall fall far short of this,! it will still
involve incalculable damage ;to all oar interests.
They will carry away from us millions of pro
perty. They will curry away fro in lis- what is
far more valuable to the Sta-te than' property
thousands and tens of thousands of busy hands,
which now constitute the productive

A Valuable Secret. In a chateau hot far from
Paris, some private theatricals were recently
represented, at which all the neighboring gentry
were present. After the performance, a Mr.
C , a rich land -owner ot the vicinity, who
has been named the last bourgeois gcidilhomme,
was passing in his carriage through; a wood of
considerable extent, when a troop; pf bandits,
armed to the teeth, masked, and in costumes of-
the lime of Louis A.II1., high boots, plumed
hats, &c, surrounded the carriage,:; forced the
servants and master to lie, faGe downward, by
the side of tho road, and then proceeded to -rummage
the vehicle. Boxes were opened, the port
manteau of the gentleman searched, every arti
cle examined, even the cushions were sounded.
t length, vexed at finding nothing,; they htted
up the terrified millionaire; i
11 Do you wish to save your lite !i asked the
chief of the band. H '; .
"Take everything! possess," cried the unfor
tunate gentleman, offering his purse' his watch
and jewels. -. . " ''. ! ' '
" Bah ! keep your money ; we are richer; than.
you are." . . ? ' .; 5
" hat is it you wish, then I asked thq cap
tive, in a mournful voice. ; M
." lou rnust instantly give us the; secret of
your hair-dye." . iij-
One can judge of the burst ot laughter Which
accompanied the demand. This pleasantry had
been plotted by the young men who had been
singeing: the chorus of the comic opera in I hats
and yellow boots hired from the theatres.;
Application of Chloroform in Nkcralga.
The Edinsburg Medical Journal contains an ac
count by Dr. Little, of his.successfui mode of ap
plying chloroform in neuralgia,, &c 1 j ; ; !
Dr. L's mode of application is, to! take a piece
of lint a little less in size than the watch glass to
be used which need not be more than j two
inches in diameter putting it on the hollow; side
of the glass, pouring on it a few drops of chloro
form sufficient to saturate it, and then applying
it at once to the part effected, keeping the edges
of the! glass closely applied to the skin by
covering it with the hand, for the purpose of
keeping it in position, as well as of assisting the
evaporation of the chloroform. This is done in
from five to ten minutes, according to the amount
of irritation wished for. 'The patient,, during
this time, will complain of the gradual "increase
of burniag sensation not so severe as that pro
duced by a mustard sinapism which reaches its
height in five minutes, and then abates, but does
not entirely disappear for more than ten minutes.
To insure the full operation of the remedy, ;!it is
necessary that the watch gUss be rather concave,
that it be closely applied to the skin, and that
the hand applied over it be sensibly warm, j The
immediate effect of the application is to remove
all local pain in neuralgia. ? j ; "

Special Dispatch to the Petersburg Express.
From Richmond.
Richmond; Feb. is. Messrs. Tyler and Sedden,
Peace Commissioners, arrived here this evening
from Washington; We learn from Mr. Tyler
that Virginia andi North Carolina were divided
on Franklin's proposition, bothiStates votino-
three against and two for it Tyler, Seddon and
Brockenbrough iri the negative and Rives and
Summers in the affirmative. All the New Eng
land States voted iin the 'negrative except Little
Ithody Mr. Tyler thinks that the proposition
will beadopted by Congress, but is of the opin
ion that it is not worth the papdr that it is writ
ten on as far as the South is to be benefitted
thereby.' The Republicans do not expect that it
will bring back the seceded States. The report
will be made to the Convention upon the other
Commissioners' return.
Mr. Tyler believes that Lincoln is in the hands
of Seward, and thkt there will be a split in the
ranks of the Black.ltepublicans between the rad
icals and conservatives. .
The President elect paid a visit to Mr. Tyler
yesterday. The latter thinks the former not so
ugly as he i3 represented. He is six feet four
inches tall, has strongly marked features, and is
not such an imbecile as he is said to be. He is
lean and lanky, possesses more intellect than he
has'credit for, and looks like anything but a rail
splitter. i - , '
Mr. Tyler was engaged a great part of the time
he was in Washington in keeping the federal go
vernment and 'the; seceded States from getting
into a fight, and Buchanan frequently called on
i him for advice. He thinks that it will rest with
4 the incoming administration whether there will
f be war or not. S
Edmund Ruffin leaves on Monday for South
Carolina, to avoid being under Lincoln's regime.
Messrs. Tyler and Seddon were serenaded to-.
night at the Exchange., They made speeches, as
also did Messrs. Montague and Hall, .
From the Exchange the serenaders proceeded
to the Spotswood House, where tley were ad-?
dressed by Messrs. Morton, Sheffeyj of Sraythe,
and others.
Another Resignation.
Norfolk, Feb. !28. Edgar O. Murden; of
South Carolina, first, lieu tenant of the Cutter
Jas. C; Dobbin, now on this station has resign
edhis resignation, to take effect on the 3rd of
March. If it is accepted he will go South.
. Terrible Disaster.' On the evening of the
22nd, says the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, a
very large audience assembled at Crittenden's
new hall, in the village of Titusville, to listen to
a musical entertainment. About 7J o'clock, af
ter the performers had passed on to the stage
and the concert Was about to commence, the
floor of the hall, iri the second story, suddenly
gave way, precipitating two or three hundred
persons, men, women and children, jto the floor
below, which in turn succumbed to the sudden
pressure, and sank; to the cellar bottom. A large
coal stdye upon the first floor was : precipitated
among a quantity of shavings t and other com
bustibles, and bursting asunder, scattered fire in
every direction. Instantly a blaze rose through
the opening, "grasping everything within its
reach, and a frightful scene ensued. The mass
of human brings entangled among the boards,
flooring, benches and seats which followed them
in their fall, struggled desperately to escape the
flames rapidly spreading through the interior of
the building, and I those who remained above,
having sprung to another section of the flooring
jwhen the cracking of the timbers beneath them
was heard, were obliged to escape from the
jwindows. The musical company were obliged
ito leave all their effects to save themselves.
Several ' persons were injured, but; all escaped
without loss of life, a result most astonishing.
The building was Entirely consumed within fif
teen minutes. r ; ;
