MENbOzA, Argentine Republic, 1868. The President of Chile, the members of the cabi- net and most of the diplomatic corps having left Santiago for a few weeks’ summer recreation at the watering places and the seaside, General Kilpatrick, our Minister to Chile, concluded to escape the hot and dusty weariness at the capital and make @ short triyyamong the ranges of the Andes, The ex- pedition was quickly fitted out, and con- sisted of the General, the Secretary of ‘Legation, Mr. Carpenter, the son of our Consul at Valparaiso; Mr. Clark, and Mr, Gellatly, an artist of New York. Armed with Sharp's breech- loading rifles ana Colt's revolvers, and accom- panied by a guide and four native servants, we started on the 3d of February from Santiago, intend- ing to be absent about three weeks. ‘The cavalcade that left the legation that morning would have created a sensation in New York. The South Ameri- can costumes of the party, the peculiar dress of the servants, and the pack mules heavily laden with provisions, &c., formed a pictureaque group that attracted no little attention as we marched from the fashionable district towards the road leading to the pass; and, if the HeraLp were given to pic- torials, an illustration of the group would be rather novel and quite apropos. Our route was by the San José pass, and one day’s march through fertile hactendas brought us to the gap, from which flows the river Maipu, fed by the melting Snows upon the peaks far in among the Cordilleras. The Andes consist of two principal ranges, with an average altitude of about thirteen thousand feet, divided by a valley some thirty miles wide. This valley is shut up in many places by lofty barriers crossing it and is fullof small mountains. From the sea, where the Andes rise in most places to the height of three or four thousand feet perpendicular from the surf, to the principal range is about one hundred and fifty miles. This country consists of rugged mountains, tracts of sand and valleys rendered fertile by irrigation from the numerous riv- ers, Thirty miles east of Santiago we enter the pass, and following the foaming river ascend easily for about forty miles, the road gradually lessening as the cultivated spots in the narrow and sometimes precipitous valley become scarce, One day's march in the mountains took us to the small town of San José, and next day we struck out on the mountain path, which winds along the cliffs of the river and constantly becomes more rocky and narrower until the train is compelled to march in single Mle, tvilsomely picking its way past dan- gerous precipices and among immense black Tocks of volcanic origin. On the night of the second day we encamped on the outskirts of culti- vation and pasture. The ascent had already taken ip from hot and dusty plains into a temperature quite cold at night, and next morning we set out through stunted thorn bushes that disappeared from the line of march after a few hours’ travel, leaving nothing but black and rugged cliffs. On this road is @ most remarkable cascade. A large stream of water pours over the crest of a cliff five hundred feet high, falling a short distance in a glassy, unbroken sheet, which gradually spreads until, scattered by the winds, it descends in a gentle shower to the base. So high ts the brink of the fall that a person may tand fifteen minutes directly under it before the ‘fine rain into which the water 1s broken by the breeze can wet his clothing through. The prismatic rays thrown off from the cascade are magnificent, and are seen at a great distance, and the view from below ts probably unsurpassed. The third day we crossed a lofty ridge and descended into a beautiful narrow plain. A small river flows through it, empty- ing toto a clear lake of great depth and without any visible outlet. Here we stopped one day to rest and graze our animals and shoot wild fowl, including ewans, geese und a numerous variety of duck. Another day’s march along this valley and over @ largo tract of lava from an extinct volcano brought us to the base of the first great ridge. Ten hours were occupied in traversing the narrow, zig- zag path leading over the summit to the other valley. Men and animals suffered considerably from the rari- fication of the atmosphere, but time and patience. brought us safely up the almost perpendicular ridge and down to the rivulets, fringed with moss and coarse grass, on the other side. Most of the summit ‘was bare, but in many places the snow was from five to fifty feet deep, with a hard crust, over which @ person can safely walk in the early part of the day. A day was occupied in reaching the next ridgo, the great Pontillo pass, 14,320 feet high. The ascent here was very laborious, and in some places dangerous. Far as the eye oan reach are nothing but black peaks flecked with snow flelds, ahd separated by track§ of rock piled in confused masses, over which it 1s impossible to paas, We reached the ridge about two o’clack in the afternoon. For some distance we found tt -pre- ferable to dismount and lead our animals, which Alippory ands iasstey would’ have naried ‘us down a woul ve and crushed us cf below. Immediately on the ridge the path passes an aperture only wide endogh fur one $0 pass at a time, and so steep are the two aides that if a mule stands with his fore fect on one side and his hind one the other a level would intersect legs at the kuces.

Nowhere in the United States, as in the tropics, have I seen this pecuMar eifect, If it could be transferred perfectly to canvas the picture would be ueciared an absurdity, and the existence of such combina- tions of it and color impossibie. General Kilpatrick at the outset only contemplated a trip through the Cordillera, but on ‘arriving at the hacienda, and finding so good facilities for visiting this interesting place, he concluded to extend his journey. A ride of thirty leagues in a sort of French diligence, drawn by five horses, was accomplished between eight A. M. and six in the afternoon. ‘The coach was high and painted blue, and a horse in shaits was alded by one on each side, which pulled th asingle trace. A wild looking gaucho, with gaudy dress, and a smatl boy rode the two leaders, which had on only bridle and saddie, with a lasso extending from the girth on one side to the shafts, so that all the strain comes on the belly instead of the breast of the animals. Horses are changed every fifteen miies. In the whole distance of thirty leagues there is not a single house or pasture field, and after driving furiously twelve or thirteen miles across the sandy waste, thinly covered with short thorn bushes, our Jehu would commence a succession of blasts on a small bugle that aroused the small boys sleeping ahead under the bushes in time to bring up the lean horses browsing on the dry and dusty herbage. Horses would be quickly changed, and our panting animals turned loose in the desert to shift for themselves until the coach picks them up agajn three days after, to drop them in another part of the barren wilder- ness. Mendoza is the capital of the province of the same name, and is just recovering from the effects of the earthquake which in 1862 ievelled the city and de- stroyed nine thousand inhabitants. As all fertility in this region is produced by irrigation the travelier cones all at once upon clover fields, fruit and flow- ers, Fig trees, vineyards, oranges, lemons and a” great variety of tropical fruits abound; and from the desert the coach drives for ten miles along a smooth, shady road, skirted with smAing hactendos, to the quinias and pleasant rural residences just’ outside the city. Here there is an ugly ford of half a mile across the river, and a few rods bring us tuto town. ‘The former city of Mendoza was utterly destroyed. Although six yeurs have elapsed the ruits still Iie as they fell, mau, them covering the remains of the families crushed in the sudden catastrophe. The grand plaza, with its beautiful fountain, its rows of tamarind tre its lowers and antique stone seats, is overgrown with weeds aud bushes and is full of reptiles, Where the cathedral and massive churenes stood portions of the thick walls are still standing, forming # scene not unlike the ruins after a tire in our large cities; but most of the debris bas falien into obe mass from ten to fifteen feet deep, burying streats It 1s painful to listen’ to the sim- ‘d here on every hand, One man tells me that he was sitting on’ Is horse, talking through a window to some ladies, one of them his betrothed. It was about eight o'clock in the even- ing and everything was calm and still, when sud- denly he found himself thrown from his horse in the iniddie of the street and all view obscured by dust, He was so stunned that he has no recollection of hearing the crash of falling buildings, but in a mo- inent he realized the sitaation. Every house was prostrate and the street was blocked up with ruins, He tried to extricate the ladies, but could not find them under the great mass of debris, nor could he get any answer to lis calls. Ail were dead. A’ thick cloud of dust hung over the scene, obscuring the stars, and cries and groans from the matned and the unhurt, seeking iriends, resounded one very band, while heavy shocks continued to agitate the earth and add to the uni- versal higrror. A colonel, who drove us out to the baths near the city, showed us a great pile of ruins as ihe spot where fis moiher, brother, sisters and young wife were all buried under the failing wails. Another gentleman was stantiing on the bal- cony of his house when ne heard the rumbling of the approaching earthquake, and had just remarked “that there must be a great race among the coaches," when he found limself under the ruins. There were twenty-one persons in his house, including the family of lus father, luis own fainily and the servants, and of this nutaber himself and wife only escaped. Both were badly injured and did not recover for many weeks. ‘There 1s not a person in Mendoza but has some such experience to relate. in an instant a beautiful city of fourteen thousand inhabitants was entirely de- stroyed and all but about five thousand of its people killed. These went out to the haciendas, where they lived in brush huts, tents, & ntil Means were received from the neighboring provinces to provide for the scattered and ruined families, The earthquake came without the slightest warn- ing, and seemed to be a side motion instead of an upheaval, which jerked the base from under the houses and threw dawn every one in the streets. ‘There was a great deal of motion during the night, the earthquake waves sometimes causing the earth to rise and fall under the feet like the deck of a ship in a sudden swell, The most remarkable feature of the earthquake is the fact that it was severely feit only in a small district, about thirty imiles wide. Ten miies from Mendoza are buildings uninjured by the earthquake, and fifty miles distant the shock was not heavy enough to cause much sur- prise, To the westward, however, it extended hun- dreds of leagues, and in Chile was 80 heavy as to badly crack many buildings and cause a at panic. ‘The present city of Mendoza ts out: the limits of the former town, and is already a very pretty place. It has a population of about eight thousand and is rapidly increasing. The buil are of a superior character, the streets are well laid out, wide, excellentiy paved and adorned with shade trees, and the place promises to become one of the most important interior cities of South America, The reception given the Minister here was of the most fMattert character. Although the General sought to avoid any public demonstration, his trip being simply intended for relaxation in the moun- tain districts, the Governor of the province, with all the principal officials, called at the Generai’s hotel and sent the military band to serenade him. They also took him out to Fey all the principal objects of interest and have dohe all in their power to render his short vistt agreeabie. The General and his suite, after a short rest, left Mendoza, returning to the hacienda of Vista Fiores, where the party remained three days. The life of the haciendado is very pleasant and will unfit a man for active pursuits as quick as anything in the worid. He has a ‘at troop of peons on the hacienda, Whose condition is little above that of siavery, and in governing them he is a perfect autocrat. A peon never approaches the patron; but if he bas anytuin to communicate it is done through the chief stewar or mayordomo, who with uncovered head, treats his Taster with the greatest respect. The haciendado rises at or before sunrise and takes chocolate or cof- fee, lights a cigarrita and rambles about the building and cattle yards until ten or eleven o'clock, when breakiast 1s announced. The table is laid beneath some wide-spreading weeping willow, in which numbers of turtle doves are softly coo- ing, and fanned by the fragrant motuing breeze, the little monarch, surrounded by dozen watchful attendants, takes his matin meal. First comes casuela, a thick, rich soup, fall of vegetabies, followed by & stew, roast, salad and coffee or chocolate. Good native wine is used a the meal, and after an hour's lounging at the table the dado amuses himseif until two or three o'clock in giving orders to his overseers or over his luxuriant pas- tures. At three o'clock takes his si and to o'clock he sits down to dinner. At this meal the cus- tom generally in \pese is reversed. Roast an come on the table first, next boiled meats, 4 &c., followed by a stew and winding up with 4 fruit, coffee an By eight o’clock the beds haye all been it out and on in the yard, and nine o'clock finds all soundly ing ig the open air. Occasionally the proprietur of a hacienda sends an invitation to the neighboring families to e over on a certain evening to a when the native dances are kept up ull the small hours to the Gr So the da: and — _— aan eB by, = ae eating, sleepi rrally smoking cigarettes, while his Tocks and herds increase, his stewards col- lect and turnover funds, and his retinue of peons toil. This idle iife is adopted by every foreigner Who settles in the country. The Yankee arrives full of vim and thinks he will set an iliuscrious example of Saxon industry and enterprise; but, after a few weeks, the enervating influences of this semi- n cal climate have thinned his blood, subdued his energy and brought him down to a gentle pace, and in three months he finds it as im; ible to dis; with the datly siesta as it would be for the New York Bohemian to give up his pipe and beer. Ha- clendas are seldom divided among the heirs upon the death of the head of the family, The daughters get their share from the profits of the estate, which in many cases is entailed to the oldest son, if there are other boys the father sends them to some city, where a toverable colieglate education is acquired. man is then given a few hundred head of caitie and horses and “squats” on some fertile spot in the vast unoccupied plains. He eats and sleeps and smokes, like his fathers before him, until after five or ten years the increase of his flocks has made him wealthy and he goes to Kurope to spend $100,000 or setues down upon a hacienda for life. From tne hacienda we went to San Carlos, It was Sunday, and @ baptism and horse race were an- nounced ag the amusements to celebrate the minis- ter’s visit. The congregation of the antique church assembled in the courtyard of a wealthy citizen, and while two negroes tortured @ concertina and an old fashioned harp the priest and officers of the cavairy stationed at the piace discussed the rey ocbournes for the race.

A regunenvof cavalry occupies a substantiai fort, into which the inhabitaats are sometimes com- Lied to take refuge from the Indians, who come in large numbers from the south to steal cattle and commit other depredations, Early yesterday morn- ing the Colonel Commanding despatahed au oiticer two leagues to propare for a grand ostrich chase, and an hour later, after taking coffee, we were en route for the pampas, where it was said we should find game, Our cavalcade consisted of the regi- mental officers and part of a squadron and a large number of gentlemen with their servants, ail mounted on excellent horses. ‘The General and suite and the officers carried revolvers and the others lassos and bolas. It is unnecessary to enter into any explanation of the use of the lasso, but the bola is a Weapon with which very few are familiar. It con- Sists of three thongs of raw hide, about a yard long, small, strong and flexible, united at one end, and each having at the other extremity a round stone about the size of a turkey’s egg, closed in a thin rawhide covering. The horseman takes one of these stones in his right hand, gathers up the thong until he can start the bola whirling above his head, and when it has attained suiticient velocfty lets go in @ manner that sends the bola revolving horizontally through the air, like a three-spoked wheel. One hundred yards is not considered too loug a distance for a man on horseback to throw at an object, and although the pursued and pursuer may be running at full speed, the bola seldom fails of winging round the animal and stopping its flight. As we were riding to the hunting ground a large white heron rose from the river bank and crossed the road about fifty yards ahead of our column, flying some thirty feet high. I heard a horse gallop up behind me, some- thing whizzed over our heads, and the bola of one of the servants struck the heron, winding round and round its body and wings, bringing it helpless to the ground. These things are used also tn taking wild horses and cattle; but for oh pur- poses wooden balls instead of stones are used, 80 as not to injure the animai’s limbs. I have seen’a wild horse that was frantically galloping off caught around the legs at the first throw of the dota, and after a fruitless attempt to kick loose fall down completely entangled by the thongs. Oa,reaching the vicinity of the ostrich fields we stopped for breakfast at a gaucho’s hut, which thy officer sent out earlier had arranged for us. A young heifer was roasting in the skin on a large bed of glowing coals and was soon served to the group, Who seated themselves on dried skins and pitched in, every one for himseif. Each had a knife and fork, and bread, salt and pepper stood close at hand. A SI 1 of wine stood in the midst of the party, which every one helped himself ad um, and when justice had been done he luscious ribs, watermetons, peaches and a variety of South American fruits were produced. The hunt was commenced about nine 0’ k by yall forming in a semi-circle, the Minister and suite in the centre and ofticers and men stretch- ing to the right and left, with in ‘als of one hun- dred yards, As we slowly advanced the line was directed by the sound of the bugle, and we soon be- gun to beat up game. The hunting ground was nothing more than a vast sandy plain, level as far as the eye could reach and covered with low thorn bushes. A small animal, with habits something like the prairie dog of the West, burrows in the sand and makes ugly holes tor the horses to break into; but a practised rider need not have much fear, If his horse does go entirely down the sand 1s so fine aud soft that the worst injury to be apprehended is torn clothing and a severe scratching in the thorns, The bushes are about as high as the saddle, so that the rider can look well across the country, and in most places the thorns are #o scattered that no anima can pass at a distance of a hundred yards without being seen. We had advanced about a mile, driving before us foxes, hares and other animals, to which we paid no attention, when I suddenly heard a shout on the left flank, and saw what at first struck me as being a twenty inch shot with a Jong handle going through the bushes ahead, right across my front. If a person had shouted in my ear with a speaking trumpet while I was asleep, “Ostrich !’ the effect could not have been more sudden on me. Away I went, with half a dozen others, in pursuit; but the ostrich left us far behind in an tnsant, and we lost sight of him until a few moments later, when he struck the right flank of our seini-circle and was turned back in the centre in. The hunt now became exciting. We soon hi @ dozen ostriches within our lines, and the bugle was sounded to close in. The extremities, about two miles apart, soon united, and as we closed up every one had to be on the alert to prevent the ostrienes from darting through the intervals, At length a great rush was made with revolvers, lassos and bolas, and after half an hour of racing, shouting and ground and lofty tumb:ing, we succeeded in rallying the party again with ten splendid ostriches captured, Three times the semi-circle was formed, and at three o'clock, after having ridden over more than fifty miles, we arrived at camp again with thirty ostrich skins, seve- ral live young ones and a number of animals picked up on the way home. ‘These ostriches are about five feet high, and during a portion of the year have very fine plumage, though not equal to the ostrich of Africa. On nearly all the haciendas @ number of domesticated ostriches are kept, and we have secured six to take home to the legation with us on our return. ve left San Rafael in the afternoon, escorted by a troop of cavalry armed with breach-loading rifles, and struck out across the borders of the Indian country toward the Planchon Pass, fifty leagues distant. Five leagues from San Rafael we the iast watering place that could be depended on, although our guide said that water might be found three leagues further on, Unfortunately, however, the trail was lost before dark, and after wandering about among precipitous ravines for several hours we were compelled to bivouac and wait for daylight to show us our posi- tion. Here I desire to warn all travellers in the interior of thing that are substanti ed by circumstantial evidence. He has no idea of distances, and always tells his em- loyer what ear, without he thinks may be pleasant to the slightest regard for veracity. If he is fatigued he will magnify the distance to the regular halting place or pretend to lose the Way on purpose to compel @ stop; and he ts never 80 positive in his assertions as when he is him- self uncertain or ignorant of the real condition of the route, Next morning, after our annoying ex- perience in the dark among the guiches of the desert, we sent out scouts and finally found the trati again; bat our animals had not had any water for eighteen hours and we had forty leagues of almost barren plains to crosa. To proceed at once was tmpossibic, and parties were sent out to look for water. About eleven o'clock we found some holes in the rocks half fied with water from the rains of many months past, and we bivouacked again antil four P. M., and then set out across the dreary waste, pro- vided with a new guide—a quaint, deaf old man, the perfect image of an Arab. Just at night we crossed he bed of a salt lake. In the winter months it ta full of water, but now the sun had dried it up, lea a coating of excellent pure white salt from. a quarter to if an inch thick, cove an area of about ten thousand acres. night we lost the trail again, and were forced to halt untfl morning. All next day we hurried along over the parched bampas, our animals suffering terribly from want of drink, and just at night we struck the base of the Cordilieras, ‘water pasture. The next day we another galt lake, crossed a ridge of wonderful voicanic formation, and encamped well up in the mountains on the of the guanaco hunting uuds, near the hut of an old hunter, who for a stik kerchief agreed to accompany us with his dogs three a Next morning we srt out Fn animal is a species of deer that feeds up on mountain ri and can only be hunted Pith success by those passionately fond of. the chase and reckless of danger.

Four times we were compelled’ by the dangerous character of the pati to taxe the pack off the mules and carry it by hand; and mountain torrenis had to be crossed on nothing but a few slender potes briigiug deep chasms through whic the water piunged with deafening noiwe. Our anime! were with great dimculty; but patience and pluck overcome all obstacles, and next day we marched down uy the fertile plains of Chile and gladly entered Curi The Hong Journey almost ended (to-morrow we go ) by rail to Santiago), it is pleasant to think of the ex- citing experiences of the trip.

It is impossible to give an adequate idea of the wonderful phenomena of the Andes. Their snow- clad peaka, their black clits frowning down on lovely valleys nestled alone among the silent fastnesses, the little lakes that sparkle far up on the icy table lands, the torrents and cascades and sunshine and tempests, all form a boundless fleld of contem- plation that bewilders the mind and overpowers man with the sense of his littleness. There are vol- canic tracts that look as if hell had broken ont and congealed there, There are pits three hundred feet in diameter and five hundred feet deep, down per- pendicular walis like those of a well, to black, still waters whose depth has never been sounded. There are springs of asphaltum that verge from the mountain side, covering with — their pitchy substance in one place an area three miles wide and fifteen tong, When the sun shines the surface geta soft, and birds that light upon tt are inextricably fastened. In the morning a person can walk over it, but by noon nothing can touch {t without sticking, and in all probability remaining there, There are mines of silver and copper aud lead on every hand, unworked only be- cause no roads have been opened into the interior of the cordillera, Boundless treasures lie locked up in almost every chain, awaiting the key of inter- nal improvements to open the wilderness with rail- roads and highways, over which suppiles may be conveyed to communities and metais brought down to the coast. No person who visits South erica should fail to take a trip into the Andes, even if he cannot cross them, Travelling with mules is @asy and cheap, and the lessons of such a trip are in- valuable. Chile is the tion and the fornia of the Argentine Confecera- ve the prairies that smilingly invite the hus an and capitalist to open a high- way for their harvests and their herds to the oceans, Already the subject of constructing a ratiroad from Chile to Buenos Ayres is under consideration. Sur- veys have been inade clearly demonstrating the practicability of the undertaking, and afew years more will probably witness another Pacific Railroad binding the two oceans together and cementing the Southern repubtics of this hemisphere. The work is talked of not as a visionary scheme, but as an under- taking to be accomplished as soon as the Spanish question and the Paraguayan war are settled. A company is negotiating to construct a telegraph across the Andes, and this will doubtless be built shortly, The military road now being constructed by Chile across the Cordilleras willopen an immense traifc between this side and Buenos Ayres, but a railroad would prove a source of almost incalculable wealth and would make on the pampas of the Argen- tiae Confederation a rich and powerful people. SINGULAY MATRIMONIAL CONNECTIONS, The Mawietta (Ohio) Register publishes the follow- ing {tems about odd Taartaares in Washington county, Ohio, and says he could make the list fuller:— December 28, 1865, in Ludlow township, James M. irov , Married on the same evening, at the same piace, George Pugh and Mary Wat#on; also Isaac fh and Martha A, Watson. These were father and son married to mother and daughter, Two Greene strect girls, Misses D——, who are sis- ters, have between them five living husbands. The oldest was divorced from her first husband on ac- count of his wilful absence; her second husband was divorced from her by reason of her absence; and she is married to her third husband. The second girt was married and divorced and ia married again. None of the parties now live in this county. John Brough, Esq., who was Sheriff of this county, sixty years ago, came from England about the be- ginning of this century, when ‘he was past middle . In 1800 he buried a wife, was soon married to 188 Jane —— and in 1811 the late John Brough—tate distinguished Governor of Ohio—was born to them in the jail building, October 20, 1821. Mrs. Brough died; in tive months and one day, March 21, 1822, Esquire Brough, who was then about seventy-five years old, married Mrs. Bridget Cross; in just four weeks, April 19, she died. Esquire Brough himself died October 16, 1822. So tt appears that he buried two wives and was buried himself, all in leas than a year. There are several cases in this county wherein men have been married four times; one three times, whose third wife is the niece of his second. One of our ae respectable citizens married his son's widow, there being children by both marriages. And in another case, many years ago, a young man and a young lady were engaged to be married; her parents objected, but they had a son born to them out of wedlock; both subsequently married (he twice) and buried other partners; their son has now become @ man and was married, with a family of children; his parents were then married at his house, the grandchildren seeing their grandparents mar- ried. They are both now in their graves. Many years ago Pardon Cook, father of the late Mrs. Rhoda Hildreth, of this city, and his brother, Joseph Cook, father of the Rev. Pardon Cook, of Marietta, married sisters. In course of time Pardon Cook died, also Josep Cook's wile. Then Joseph Cook and Pardon Cook’s widow tntermarried, rs iu the last marriage (no children) the husband bore that relation to two sisters, while the wife was the wife of two brothers. Consequently the late Mrs. Hildreth and Kev. Pardon Cook were not only double cousins, but also stood in the relation of step- brother and ste a Two brothers and two sisters of one family in Ma- retta, years ago, were intermarried with two sisters and two brothers of another family—not ali at once, but at different dates. These were Otis Reekard and Nanoy Jennings; Jos. Leonard Reck- ard and Delila Jennings: Jonathan Jennings and a Reckard, Junia ‘liza A. Reck- |. Of these eight, st neighborhood of “three some a little under. ears ago. His widow (Susan Reckard) is how the fourth wife of Kev. J.C. MeCoy, Otis Reckard died about three years ago. Colonel William B. Mason, our county treasurer, and his wife, are both Masons, but of different fami- lies, claiming fo relational. His father was William Mason, her father was William Mason his grandfather was William Mason, and her vifather was William Mason, and they five a son William. So the young scion of four nerations now known counts himself a William, father a William, his two grandfathers both Wil- jams, and two great granders Williams, and all We here mention a case out of this county, yet In- volving a young lady of Marietta. Miss Emily Palmer, who was raised by Rev. Lather G. Bingham, went to Lawrence county to teach, an@ there mar- ried Dr. McDowell, who aye hag —_ - wife in Pennaylvania, leaving a daughter in her charge. In the course of years ‘re, any McDowell died. The daughter by the first marriage was now grown up and married. Throagh her intervention her father and mother were then remarried, afier a separation of over twenty years, the husband of the daughter, who was a minister, performing the mar- Tage ceremony. It may be remarked that Ofty years ago, when the Population of this county Was not over one-quarter of what it now is, three men advertised their wives as having left their bed and board, &c., where one man does so at this day; @ fact that we know, having carefnily examined fuil files of Marietta papers from the year 1811. Does it indicate that til-assorted and unhappy marnages were much more frequent ital! a century since shan now; or was adverusing wives more lu fashior then 7 FRIGHTFUL CASUALTY TO A MINER.

Important Immigration Convention—Lands to Be Sold and Leased on Reasonable Terms— Foreigners and Northern Citizens to Be {nvited to Settle in Virginia and North Carolina, Burkevi..x, Va., July 9, 1868. Under the auspices of General Imboden, Mr. Thomas 8. Flournoy, Major Wm. T. Sutherlin and many other leading and influential citizens of this State and the border counties of North Carolina, & Convention of the farmers and planters was held here to-day. All the southwestern counties were represented, as well as many of those of North Caro- lina, and the object of the Convention—that of ofter- ing inducements to immigrants to settle in the two States and the furthering of their material interests— was entered into with a zeal that promises success. Major Wim, T. Sutheritn, perhaps the wealthiest man in Virginia, was elected President of the Con- vention, and a number of secretaries were ap- pointed. A Committee on Business was then chosen, and instructed to report at as early an hour as possi- ble, This committee then retired, and during its absence severat able and effective addresses, bear- ing upon the object of the Convention, were de- livered, Shortly afterward the committee returned and submitted a report, the preamble of which sets forth the present deplorable condition of the two States, and urges, besides individual energy and enterprise, which must accomplish a great deal, co-operation of landholders for the purpose of leasing or selling the large quantities of unoccupied lands in the State, and inducing immigration and the merease of the white population. The following resolutions were then unanimously adop Resolved, That tt is manifestly the duty and interest of the people of Virginia and their neizhhors of North Carolina to promote by all means tn their power the immigration of far- mers, manulacturers, merchants and laborers, and to that end we appeal fo gur fellow eltizens to ell or lente, at ren- sonable prices and on easy terms, and at the earllest practica- Die perlod, such lands as they cannot now profitably cult vate themselves, to all who may be inclined to purchase or Tease and settle among us. Resolved, That to encourage the immigration of foreigners who may not speak our language, or for other reasons may wish to settle in colonies, it will be wixe policy for the land- owners of the different ‘counties, as far as practicable, to oifer for sale or lease on reasonable terms to immigrants as large and compact bodies esolved, That we ap and North Carolina not tive sone, lands as can be secured together. to the landholders of Virginia forget the claims of their own na- but offer to all auch every practicable means to en- courage them to habits of industry and usefulness, Resolved, That we would also embrace with delight the re- turning sons of Virginia and North Carolina who may have become dissatisfied with the existing condition of the more Southern States, Resolved, That we, renenting x large cot ituency of Vir- na, with unaffected incerity and co —_——-~ erpitlar can be Knocked of. A laborer can thus g@ Over about ten acres of cotton per day. The pupe can at the same time be easily detected, folded up in the leaves.

Resolved, That the formation of county or local land com- pantes under similar charters will greatly facilitate the sale or lease of lands and promote immigration ; and we earnestly recommend the immediate organization of such companies, and au the following form of charter—that can be ranted by the elrcult courts while in session or by the judges in vacation—-as embodying all the essential features of such ascheme, both as the operations of the separate companies and their combination and co-operation, and we urge upon all the counties here represented and such others as may unite in the movement the adoption of measures to organize thelr roa panies without delay; and to facilitate this object delegates to this Convention are hereby ‘Appointed committees im thelr respective counties to carry ‘Out this resolution. Resolved, That the railroad companies of this State and North Caroling are earne@ly sppenled to to extend every facliity in their power, but especially by reduced rates of fare, to encourage travel in our midat of all persons who’ desire to examine lands with a view. of purchasing or leasing, and to give the benefit of sich reduction to thelr families when. removing to oceupy lands pul or leased. And in the removal of colonfes when they come in a body to settle on the line of any railroad in the State, we commend the example of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company—to forward such colontes in special immigrant trains free of charges to thelr jon, Believing that in this practical age of enterprise and actiy- ly the opening of raliroad lines where they do not exist in our State would prove to be one of the most efficient auxili- ary means of promoting tmm! that could possibly be created ; therefore, Resolved, That the construction of a sufficient number of railroads to insure speedy and cheap transportation to and from market {s a sure means of inducing tatelligent and ener- getic men to settle in our Resolved, That the construction of the Norfolk and Great Western, the Chesapeake and Obio, and Air Line railroads, would be of in Ie advantage to our agricultural, min- eral, manufacturing and commercial enterprise, and, would make Virginia and North Carolina the most desirable feld for men of energy and enterprise in every department of iu- dustry. A notable feature in the proceedings, as will be seen from the resolutions above, was the wish of the entire body that the people of ‘the North, no matter of what political shade, should come and settle among them, ‘The impression circulated by radical newspapers that it was ynsafe for Northern people to live in Virginia or North Carolina called forth the greatest indignation of the age and was a foul slander upon them. The well known hospitality of the people will be cordially extended to every white man who wishes to make either State his home, Several minor resolutions were then adopted, and the Rev. Mr. Reidenbach, of German, who is visiting here with a view to ascel tin the adaptability of these two States to German colonization, — then addressed ~—_ the Convention and imparted much valuable informa- tion on the subjects that occupied their attention. He strongly favored German immigration, and ga’ the Convention very satisfactory assuran ath would use his influence to secure a large influx of his countrymen to both this State North Carolina. Mr. John Kerr, of North Carolina, then addressed the Convention, making one of the most animated and interesting arguments in favor of immigration ever lisened to. He was loudly applauded, and after the adoption of compliinentary resolutions to both him and Mr. Retdenbach, on motion of Mr, Thomas S. Fiournoy the Coavention adjourned sine die, Delay, in Submitting the Constitution—C tainty of Its RejectionSusponse of the C pet-Bugaers. PRTERSBURG, Va., July 9, 1868, Tog man of plain understanding tt is dificult to discover any eufficient reason for the unwonted de- lay in taking the sense of the people on the adoption of the new constitution. The work, such as it is, has long been completed, and the treasury of this impoverished State drained of its last doilar to pay the miserable tinkers who sat in the places once oc- cupied by Madison and Marshall, Randolph and Leigh. Every public, if not every private interest, is suffering in the meantime. The old officers cho- sen by @ rebel constituency lave, many of them, been thrust aside by military authority, and @ race of carpet-baggers, representing novody and having no feeling of sympathy with the people, are installed in their places. ‘There must of course be some reason for this strange procrastination; and in the absenve of any that has been assigned by aut unwarrantable to indulge tn a few spe a pudiate the instrument miscalied @ constitution, ap (his, notwithstanding the {act that at the time of re- gistration thousands of white men felt no inclina- Uon—indeed, rather an aversion—to register, while an indefinite number of negroes were registered under different names two or three times. It bas been intimated that the registration books would not be opened again, though the reconstruction laws pecially provide for a reopening previous to every jection. Hae this is neither here nor there, as Congress can exercise the power of declaring the constitution adopted in the face of any preponde- |) rance of tht yg vote—that is to say, of the white’ vote—against it. In view, however, of the Presiden. tial election, it may well be inferred that we are not wanted yet: for, while it may be easy enough to admit the State into the Union under radical auaptces, ita vote may be more diMcult to contro ‘er te in- fluences of the military, and particularly of the Bureau, are withdrawn. “i Whoever may be to blame for keeping Virginia so long out of the Union, it isa cruel thing—nothing esa than actual torture to be keeping so many worthy patriots, negroes and carpet. are, whose moutlis are watering in view of fat offices, on the rack of suspense. There is no place, from that of member of Congress, worth $5,000 @ year, down through all the grades of offcia position, which the Loyal Leaguers have not_parcelied out among them- ‘selves in anticipation. That an old Virginian, how- ever high he may once have stood ae, the F. F, should ever be admitted again within the sacred rectncts of official life ie not to be toferated for a moment by these immaculate gentry. In this Congressional district matters are mixed up in a very promiscuous manner, or, as our Yankee friends are wont to say, they are in a decided snart. it ithful analysis thereof will require a letter exciusively devoted to the subject. | ardson, EB Lona, Ravages oF THe Corron Worm.—Ip 1564 mil- lions of dollarw’ worth of cotton was destroyed oe the worm, and men who supposed were oy Graimowt eaUire Crope,.
