Souther 1 of the R The Yazoo rivereorrespondent of the C Evening Journal gives the tollowing account of the marriage of Capt. Edward W.

Some of the men on the fieet set fire to ker cotton gin, con- taining 195 bales of cotton, destroying the whole. The widow, living alone on the piania- fien, and being very much alarmed, imme- diately sent to the fieet to ask protection tor herself and property. The note happened to Le handed to Capt. Southerland. The gallant captain immediately replied in | person, anc, after seeing her, undertook com- | Pliance with ber request, by laying violent | Siege to her heart; and, as the resuit proved fairly carried it hy storm; for, before- the tleet Was ready to get aguin under way, the fair Widow bad consented to become a wife.

Get married there he could not, and po Awsy and leave her he would not. Now what wus he to do~the firet ordered down the river, and co way of getting married! Surely, bere was a dilemma; bat the captain never de- | spaired, and Capt. Pritehet, U 8. N., com- mancing the gunboat Tyler, and Capt. White, A. Q.M. U.S. A., commanding the ram Horner, came to the rescue, and it was decided to have the wedding on board ship.
