In fact, the administra- / Mon of General Canseco has paid very little attention to many matters of that description, which will ulti-, mately result in a good deal of troubie.. First, the imbrogliio with the United States of Colombia abont the steamer R. R. Cuyler, or Rayo, as eall her here. ‘This vessel tly has no owner, although | she was t by Pern and guaranteed by ‘Colom. | bia, yet she is rotting away in the harbor of Cartha- — oe without. an ollicer on board. It is supposed | ere that Colombia has had more to do with the retention of the steamer than she cares to acknowi and Peru must eventually assert her own rights. ‘Then we have this other steam- boat question with Chile, concerning the memora- bie corvette contract, which does not look smilingly as 1 might, in spite of Colonel Kulta’s | ublished letter to a Chilean friend asserting the ex- | stence on his part of the warmest feelings towards the sister republic. Finally, t with Brazil, This may be divided into two heads:— First, the Peruvian t against the tripartite.al- Mance now fighting brave tittle Paraguay, and, sevondly, the alleged insnit to the Brazihan govern- ment in Prado’s last nessage. on account of which ‘The diplomatic future is not very promising. Dur- ing the disturbances which took place in the north of this republic in January last a number of foreicn residents were suamefally abused, robbed and mal- treated by the revolutionary party, acting under the orders of their appointed chieftains.

And it is more than likely that Me rumors which are at present very current of bis M@tention to declare himseif President are well Pounded. To add to the general uneasiness it is be- Ibeved that in the course of a coupie of weeks General Mosquera will return from his baniskment in Pera and once more deciare himself Dictator, and it is not Mmprobvable that Correoso, who is a strong partisan @f his, is working under his orders, Should these euspicions prove correct we may look for lively times Bere during the next few months. These constant eutoreaks have so impoverished the State that it is w in utter want. To raise money enough to pay the charter of the Montijo, $4,000, to bring home * te President and his forces, the veasel had to be de- tained here four days, and then the only way the fends could be Foie was by the governinent giving some of the merchants receipts in full to the ead of the year for their taxes, and latter giving their notes to the owner of the steamer for the amoont. It is hard to see what object such people bave in desiring to get inio power at so ruinous a @ext to the country. Another accident, fatal in its consequences, has oc- @urred on the railroad.

General Thomas has written a letter to a member of the Tennessee Legislature, in which he says:— AUGUST 3, 1808. On my return to Louisville from an inspection trip to West Tennessee I had the honor to receive your favor of the 18th ult. l agree with you that the state of affairs in Tennes- see, so far as I can judge by reading the papers, is far from pacific. I believe, however, if the news- paper report of an interview between some of the late Confederate oMcers and a committee of the egtsiature be true, then there is some hope of @ peaceable and amicable ent of the ct lh now threatening the peace and welfare of e State. I read with much interest the speeches, or rather assurances, given by parties, and am giad to find that they were mutually ‘conciliatory and friendly. 1 therefore sincerely that they may be able to arrange a peaceful plan of settlement and that Tennessee may be in a prosperous condition at an early day. It will require the utmost care to reconcile the conflicting interests; but { sincerely hope the lature will be equal to the task imposed upon it, WADE HAMPTON AND THE CONFEDERATE a FLAG, Ai the close of the proceedings in the South Caro- lina Convention op the 9th Inst.

Democratic Nominations and Platform. ‘The Democratic State Convention of Nebraska have nominated for Governor James R. Porter; for Secretary of State, General Victor Vilquain; for Auditor of State, H. C. Lett; for Treasurer, J. A. Ware; for Congress, A. J. Poppleton. The following platform was also adopted:— Whereas the democratic party deem and always have decmed this a white man’s government, created and established by white men for themselves aud their posterity, and that the people of this State in their constitution find the qualifications of elec- tors, and solemnly deciare that the right of suffrage should be entrusted only to the white — race, through which alone civilization and en- lightenment have come to us and in Whose hands alone the welfare of this State should repose; and that a radical Congress, in violation of our rights as a people, ignored ‘our wishes a8 expressed in the constitution, and did, In an tlitberal and overbearing manner, impose upon our free people the doctrine of negro suffrage; Whereas a radical Legisiature of this State, elected by white people to represent them, did, in violation of the trust reposed in thei, and in violation of the eXpressed will of the people, as sec forth in the con- stitntion, wherein they di re against negro suf- frage, ratify and adopt the wrong and oppressive conditions s0 imposed by Congress, therefore Resolved, That they did so without authority and in gross violation of the trust re; din them, and that thetr action therein does not meet with the ap- ES of right thinking and honest citizens of the tate of Nebraska. Resolved, That while as a party we favor ali Movements tending to promote public morality, yet we are op} to all prohibitory laws and statutes interfering with the national customs of any portion of our citizens, as subversive of sound morality, and as an unnecessary abridgment of those liberties of the person which are guaranteed by ali free govern- ments. POLITICAL NOTES. Pendleton and ex-Senator Oresswell, of Maryland, go to Maine next week, The Geneva (N. Y.) Courier says:—“At an auction held in this village last Saturday a biography of ex- President Pierce, with a steel-pfite engraving, was oifered, and the highest and only bid that could be obtained was one cent, at which sum it was struck off,” Judge Poland is stumping his Congressional dis- trict in Vermont. i In Wisconsin the Congressional nominations have not yet been made, but there appears to be little doubt that all the republicans will be renominated, and Mr. Eldridge is also sure of being chosen by his party. The only points of interest thus far are the proposition among some of the democrats to make Brick Pomeroy a candidate Inst General Washburn in the Sixth district, and the evident de- termination of the republicans to make such a nomi- nation for the Fourth (Eldridge’s district) as shall give that gentieman 8 hard contest as the price of a re-election. Several names are suggested, among them those of Judge L. F. Frisby, Judge David ‘Tay- Jor and Mr. Henry Cordier. The Springfield Repudtican is rather merry over the late ex-rebel utterances in South Carolina, saying:— What an extraordinary world this would be if all the predictions made in South Carolina te jast ten years should come trne.

For some weeks past the event. has’ been ihe oni. chat in certain circles, and many have been the queries and wonderments a8 to when and wiere the rand event would come Off, As early ux five o’elock in the afternoon ihe crowd began to assemble around the house of the father of the bride, and clamored for McCoole, peered curiously into ihe door and yard, gathercd in Knots and group: wbout the sidewalk and eyed as living curiosities ut! school- mates and friends Who came to say goo’-by to the beautiful bride of the hour, As the shades of night. closed in the crowd grew more and move uneasy, and surrounded the residence, No. 1,617 ©’Pallon street, in a most threatening manner. Mike had weed to come for his bride at hali-past'seven o’clock, and puuctual to the minute, two barouches drove up—the first, an open one, contained the brave and galiant hero of the hour, attenced by Mr, Eugene St. Clair, andthe second, a covered rarriage, in which, solitary and alone, rode Mr. 4ysepa J. Dugay. THE ENGAGEMENT by no means is a recent thing, For years nes it ’ been going along; itis a genuine excepiiou to the adage, “The course of true love never ris sinooth,’? Fully three years ago, when Miss Norton was @ school girl at the Convent of Carondelet, the champion of America me enamored of her. |i was his first love, it was hers. Unbeknown to the parents had he formed her acquaintance, admired. and well nigh won her, Her school d: she barsting from childhood into blushing maiden- hi Mike determined that she should be his own, Cruel parents might oppose, interferi friends might intermecdie, a stern father might forbid him: the house, but Mike was as bold as a lion ond brave ot heart and feared nothing. Nor had he reason to. With a character spotless he was not ot onable to the parents, since he had found favor in t eyes of the maid. They became betrothed, and for sume time have been waiting with anxious heart: for the occasion which we chronicle, THE BRIDE, ‘The bride was in readiness; she had kuelt down on her knees and asked her mother’s blessing long be- fore the rumbling of the wheels which were to carry her fram parental arms was heard, and right glad did her mother grant it, Miss Norton, the Dende eighteen years of having’ reached her only prada birthday on Tuesday last.

From early childhood she has been ‘anght st the Convent of Carondelet, THE CROWD. In front of the church, at an early hour, noisy crowd assembled; urchins, noisy boys, who rolled in the dirt and talked about “givieg each other McCoole punches in the eye,”’ and plunp servant maids who gathered at the street corners with their lovers and said winningly and coaxingl, “Come, will ye, now? Take me while I’m in the humor. Mothers gathered around the porch with babes in their arms; the sidewalks, the street, evon the rods of the houses opposite were crammed with peopk. “McCoole! MeCoole!? shouted the boys. “Oh, wil he never come?” said the old women. At last a light fnashed from the windows of the church, and arourd the crowd it went—“they are being married secretly Ata quarter-past eight two barouches came to te corner and slowly forced their way to the churel porch through the swaying and surging crowdsot excited sight secrs. ‘Here he comes,” yelled the boys. “Out of the way,’ shouted the coachmen, and parting to the right and left the huddled tals were pressed. In the first carriage re the grooms, in the second the bridesmaids, in the third the hero of the hour and his intended. In frontof the church door it was impossible for them to set out, the crowd was so great and curious; even four street cars were stopped. No sooner were the doors opened than the church was filled in au instant. Rush, rush, pell-mell, into the aisies and over the seats they hastened. ‘Two children were trampled under foot and four women taken out in hysterics, ‘The bridal party could never have got into tie church through the matin entrance, 80 they went to ihe side, and, entering the ante-rooms, arranged themselves preparatory to the grand entrée.

She carried an elegani fan, dia- mond por ceres and fringed with swan’s down, and tied to her delicate waist was an exquisite point lace handkerchief, encircled by a gold band, in the centre of which sparkled a beautiful diamond. From her neck hung a gold chain and watch, worth $s00—a gift from her husband, A solitaire diamond ring sparkled on her iinger. ft was her marriage ring. She also wore an elegant set of pearis, purchased of Monsteur Jaccard for $500, She wore white satin gaiter boots and attached to her dress was a@ trail two feet long. . THE CBREMONY, At half-past eight precisely, from a side door, the burly form of Mike, with a huge but becoming mua- fache neatly trimmed, appeared.

Mr. Eugene St. Clair, with Miss Mollie Norton, Mr. Joe J. Dugdy, with Miss Hannah Roan. From the side door, across the raised platform on which rests the altar, and adown the steps in front of the Pode} came the party, taking the it seats in the aisle, The 0 and chorus began thetg orisons.
