Aristocratic Marriages in France. HOW THE MATCHES AKE NEGOTIATED—THE GREAT MATRIMONIAL AGENT OF THE METROPOLIS IN COURT—WER APPEARANCE, FORTUNE, AND STYLE OP LIVING. frre (Oct, 2) correspondence of Liverpool Journal | tis wondrous to-observe how the grossest abuses be- come by long habit admitted to the rank of institutions, and are accepted at last with as much energy as they bad been repulsed at first, ‘The French method of negotiating marringes, for in- stance, which had been long known, and about which no secrecy had ever beon observed, yet had never been duly weighed and tried and its logality tested before the tri- bunals, This week has, however, presented this entircly novel feature in French life for approval or refusal by French jurisprudence. Madame de Saint Marc, the great purvoyor of fortune and position in the shape of hasband or wife, accordiug to“the demand made upon her ingenu'ty, Appeared before the court the other day to demand exoneration from payment of the licease by’ which she is styled ‘‘a business agent.'’ Now Madaine de Saint Marc, whose business is a pleasure to herself and all whom it concerns, and who can scarcely be called an agent, ng she acts on ber own responsibility, fecls herself degraded in position and injured in purse by the denomi- Bation , and appeals to the court to be relieved from the tax which has been imposed upon her calling in conse- quence of the erronoous denomination by which It bas Deen designated. Madamede Saint Marc 1s @ woman of high respectablity and great influence. She calls horsolf & femme serieuse, and, holding herself responsible for the real existence of the generally fautastic delusion called a dot, by promise of which French mothers manage to got their daughters marriéd, Is, of course, accustomed to sift every circumstance, motive and expression to the very bottom. ‘Therefore. it would take @ tough reasoner to beat Madame de Saint Marc at argument. And, sure enough, as she stood before the bench—a fine portly dame in black moire antique, serious as the affairs sho is im the habit of treating, all glittering with bugles Dright as the hopes she holds out to her customers, covered with guipure delicate and fine as the sentiments she is bound to inspire amongst ber ctieuts—she took up her position at once, without apy of that vulgar hesitation and embarrassment which the ‘business agent’? men- tioned in the formula would certainly have experienced upon the occasion. What! Call the marriages negotiated by Maaame de Saint Mare by the horrible name of business? Such a do- nomination was never heard of in good society; and as Madame de Saint Marc’s quivering lips repeat the dread- ful sound they seom to murmur threats of “libel and do famation, damages and indemnity,” for the injury such gn expression may have given rise to, Besides whiob, Madame de Saint Marc, who corsiders that the law was made for the good of the community at large, invokes its protection, when it says no workman working on his own account, mnalded by journeyman or apprentice, is Nabio to the tax. Hereupon the argumeut became warm. It was contended that if Madame de Saint Mare carried on the: trade on her own account it must nap ly become a case of polygamy; neither could she ‘work by the day or hour,’’ as the marriage tie is indissoiubie, nor does she work with her own materials— all of which conditions are specified in the act under which she seeks to shield her profession. Again, if sbe denies herself the comfort of an apprentice, it ts only ‘Decause she is compelled to that “prudence and discre- tion”"—the motto with which she adorns the little per- fumed billets sho despatches to her various customers, ‘Tho Court, therefore, dismissed'the appeal made by the ates a Hymen, aud, moreover, condemned her to 1e costs. She left the tribuna! with the assurance that she hid dong a good morning’s work notwithstanding: and. as the marriage of one of the greatest notables of the Paris bur was atinounced immediately after the trial, it is suppoved that the “business? mnst have been ne- gotlated then ‘and there. Madame de Saint Marc as become one of the greatest euthorities no man imagine that he marries the woman of his chgice. However much he may fancy himself smitten with the bright eyes and ruby lips of the fair creature to whom he is introduced for the first quadrille by tho respectable Inay with gray hair he has known from childbood—bow- ‘ever much he may admire the lightness und elegance of the figure and the charm and wit of her conversation, he will not be allowed tofall in love by Madame de saint Marc, whose ‘ work”’ be is contemplating, untogs his for- ‘tune has borpe the teat of scrutiny between the respect able old lady with ay Bors ‘and the business agent of whom we speak.

The first was twenty years olf, and th son of a landed pro- prietor; the secoud was a peasant of the commune of Grugdewo:— At nine io the morning the priests arrived at the prison, the sentence of death was read to the condemned, and thoy received the holy sacraments.

At St. Vallier the inhabitants were forced to take refuge in the upper stories of the houses, and fears were entertained for the safoty of the hospital, the terrace of which was washed away. The crops along the course of the river were dovasted, and trees, straw, carts, and even vats contain- ing grapes, were carried along the torrent. The bridge of Merdaret, near St. was carried away, that of the Combe d’Oternaux was damaged, and a ‘house almost entirety destroyed. A little girl named Amele Valernaud was drowned at St. Donat, as well as a post- man at Combovin, named Fynard. Sir Charles Elliot, the Governor of St. Helena, has sent home to the Jamaica Cotton Company (of which he was a director) saroples of cotton now growing in that island with a view to ascertain its value in our market. There is a considerable tract of land assigned to the Governor, and as there aro numbers of captured Afriaaps frequentiy Ianded thore, they might under skilful management be trained in cotton culttvation, and would thus become very valuable laborors in the West India colonies, to which they might afterwards be assigned. ‘Tho marriage of a Hindoo widow was celebrated on the 80th of July in the village of Chandrakona, tn the district of Hooghiy, Indix. ‘The bride, whose name is Nilamani Dasi, ts the danghter of Bavoo Gopi Nath Dutt.

The Presi- dent has algo proclaimed that, if any State shall fail to False the quota assigned to it by the War Department, a draft for the deficiency will bo made, commencing on the day of January, aD. 1864. The quota of the State of New Jersey under call bas been assigned as 9,441. of each townsbip and ward will be speedily the Adjutant General.

Thorefore, the draft aunounced by the President to commence (in case of failure to furnish volunteers) on the 5th of January next, will be for the entire defloiency of any township or ward T earnestly call upon all citizens of this State to use every offort to raige these troops. The time for work is short, but if the people of New Jersey, who havo hitherto never faltered in the discharge of duty, will, unitedly and in the proper spirit, at once enter cpon it, with the de- termination not to (ail, hoy will succeed, Our armies should ‘be largely reinforced, A crushing. blow at the armed power of the rebellion, if followed by wise, just and conciliatory counsels, will open the door to that peace which-we so much desire and which has thus us. Y amidst meny discouraging circumstances nobly respouded to my former call for volunteers. What. ever may be the resuit of this appeal, the evepts of the few months have reflected additional honor on our loved State. Ihave confidence that tho people will again respond, and fill with volunteers not only our quota of the new call, but also tho small existing deficiency. There repeat the request formerly made to the citi of the State to aid the raising of men by the bestowment of bounties, either individually or through the municipal authorities, It js true that a response to this request in volves tho expenditure of large eums of money, but every man must expect that a of sucn gigantic magnitude as that in which we are engaged, to be ended speedily, requires pecuniary sacrifice. If war is to be prosecuted it is economy to bring Into the fleld alarge preponderance of power rather than feed its insatiate appetite by piece- meal. We should be prepared to make great sacrifices if, by 80 doing, we can save the Union. ‘The general government offers largely increased boun- ties, of which the detals will be announced by the Adju- tant Genera! of the State.

A Snoruvren Cavour ww tae Acr.—An old offender, named John Heary Acderson, was brought before Justice Dowling, on charge of stealing ten dezea plated forks and eight dozen tea spoons from the store of G. 1 Mix & Co,, No. 14 Beekman strect. The accused, it appears, pre- tended that he wanted to purchase some silver ware, and while examining some goods took occasion to drcp the articles above mentioned into acapacious coat pocket, ‘The salesman suspected the fellow’s honesty, however, and before he could leave the store called on Officer Dono- hue for the purpose of searching him. Anderson was very indignant at the conduct of the salesman and rofesed to be fesrched. The officer was determined to push matters. however, and was about to discharge his duty when the fel. low broke loose from his grasp and started on @ fall ran towards Nassau street, drovping the stolen ar. ticles on his way.

Failure of the Rebel Raid—Severe Fight at Mc Outrage of the Rebels—Bank Robbed—Political Mat- ters, de, As confidently predicted, the recent rebel raid into this Statedas proved a failure. The worst that can be said is that the rebels were successful in temporarily disabling small portion of the Pacific Railroad, by burning an important bridge, and by robbing and stealiag a. few thousand dollars worth of property from private citizens. For anght else he gained Shelby might better have turned back after capturing the two companies of State Militia at Neosho. The damage to the Pacific Railroad did not bene- fit Sheiby, nor retard the pursait of bis forcosa single half hour, while the time lost in destroying the track an@ bridge culminated 1n his dofeat at Marshall by Gen. Brown. ‘Had Shelby passed on to Boonville he could have cacaped through Saline county easily, visiting his old home at Waverloy,and doing extensive damage to Union men around Lexington, besides captaring a steamboat at Boom- ville, which he just missed by three hours. ‘The telegraph from this city and from Washington has given you the substance of General Brown's despatch to headquarters announcing the defeat of the rebels at Mar- shall, the capture of their artillery , portion of their wagom train and supplies of small arms. Very little remains to be added. The force engaged in this fight consisted of about fifteon hundred Union cavalry agaiust twelve hun- dred rebels. Genoral Brown had no artillery; but our gallant troops, after five successive oharges, took the rebel guns and turned one of them ypon their flying troopers. A portion of the forces on each side were dis- mounted, and the principal part of the fighting conslated of sanguinary skirmishes. The rebdcils evidently thought they could whip the Yankees, and contested the ground with great stubboroness. But our sharpshooting carbines and steady charges broke their lines, and as soon as thelr artillery was captured and ran back to the rearof our first line, the rebels took to their heels. For a emall affair, lasting five hours, the fight had quite a brilliant result. Our losses are estimated at twenty one killed and sixty-flve wounded. No account of tho doad rebels has been taken, und wounded and pris. oners are out of the line of fighting guerillas in this State. ‘The only rebel casualities come under the head of killed. ‘The flight of the rebels was soon manifest alovg the line of the railroad, ‘The rebel forces are divide@ and subdie vided into small sjuads, who are either secreting them- selves near the Missouri river or journoying back towards Arkansia ag fast as stolen horses cam carry them. Shelby himecif 1s said to have formed a reeoluticn never to quite Saline, his native country ,and at last accounts was hiding from bis par- suers somewhere in the brush near Miami in that county. This “die in the Inst ditch” resolution ts all humbug, and Joe Sheiby will soon place maoy miles between the tail of his horse and the carbines of his pursuers—uniess previously captured. ‘A few details of the stay of the plundering rebels con- firms the first impression on their entrance into the State, viz:—That tbe chief incentive to the raid was plunder. Thoy robbed the Mechanics’ Bank ‘at Warsaw of $400; but wore egregiously fooled out of $5,000 more done up in packages, which they believed to be valuable deeds, mortgages, &c. At Boonville they stole nearly $10,000 and robbed the Post oflice. It is reported that whilo in Boonvitle’several of the rebels commitied horrible outrages on German women; but the report lacks confirmation. Everywhe's along the route of the rebels they seized on all horses, without regard to the sentt- monts of their owners. ‘ihe:rest of the story is a roite- ration of the tale of guerilla raids elsewhere. A deap laid. conspiracy to break jail was discovered recentiy among the inmates of the military prison om Myrtle street, it this city. deveral el ters, among whom was a noted rebel mail carrier, suc- ceeded in getting their irons off, and were proceeding vigorously to demolish part of the foundation wall, which attempt, if successful, whould have afforded egress to not less than sixty prisoners, avout of whom are doserters from the army. The ringleaders were reironed. and tho balance placed in close confinement. Three hundred rebel prisoners from Littie Rock, Arkan- sas, and sixty-three from fort Scott, Kaneas, have arrived here within afew days, and are now confined in the Gratiot street prison. They area aaa 2 looking set, and about one-third of them profess to be Union men conscripted belo she rebelarmy.

Retreat of the Rebels in Confusion— Appearance South of the Osage—Poli?icat [tems—General Blair, &c., de. ‘the rebeis, who were lately so deflant in Boonville, om the Missouri river—a compact and well armed body—are ‘now on the skedaddte, Part of the gang adheres to Coffe and Sholby, and after tho tight at Marshall mado tracks over Lafayette into Jackson county, hoping probably to clude their pursuers as Quantrell has often done in this samo territory. Here they divided again—one party taking the road toward Warrensbarg, and another to- ward Vernon, in Bates county, The latter was overhauled by Colonel Phillips, and seventeen killed, on Saturday, But the chace is not yet over. The second portion of the rebel invaders crossed the Pacific Railroad, between Sedalia and (Call- fornia, im all places, at all times, and made their way tothe south of the Osage. About four hundred of these concentrated ina plice called Buffalo, in Dallas county, about forty-two mites from Warsaw, on Saturday night, They are Mable to be cut off by forces in pursuit from Lebanon, Rolla and Springfield, They are evidently making baste to reach the Ozark mountain region, whence escape will be casy into Arkansas, Ov the whole, the arrangements to capture the party were defective. Even if Shelby and his whole foree could have been surrounded, at a short distance the wooded country into which tbey fled afforded them easy shelter and modes of escape. They bad every advantage, and knew that very well when thoy started. The true policy was to das after the rebels the moment they crossed the line and attack them frout and rear, It was simply tara- ing them round to try and catch them with their faces towards tbe Missouri river. They would have run from Geveral Brown as quickly gouth of the raiiroad as vorth of it, and that lide of communication would bave beep urbroken to day.
