'E’Jtherto Unpublished Story of One | of the Most Dramatic Events of the War of the Re-, bellion. | In times of desperate civil war m‘o—h 1 dies of a private nature, however start- ling they might be in times of peace, at- | tract little attention. There has been a | gend that during the bombardment of | Charleston a bride was killed while the [mn‘.fl;e ceremony was in progress. | Nothing definite has been written about | this incident of the war In many years. | The following story of the remarkable af- | fair is contained in en old manuscript, says a Columbia, 8. C., correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The pride of the South has always been its beautiful and cultured women. Bvery | Southern State has had its historic hero- | ine, the very name of which thrills a pat- riotic chord in thousands of warm South- ern hearts. Among the many whose names are sacredly enshrined in the his- | torie page is that of Louise Holcomb, one fajrest daughters, who was inti- associated with much that was dear to every Southern heart, subject of a most touching and patriotic romance In 1%6 she was married to the dashing and historic Colonel Pickens, who was | then representing South Carolina in Con- | gress. Her life in Washington was short as the next year the colonel was sent to ia by President Buchanan. With his young and beautiful and brilliant wife he soon became the favorite of the Czar and while all St. Petersburg was their ng subjects. In 1858 their first | and only child was born in the Czar's own | palace of Romanoff, which he had kindly placed at their disposal. The Empress was so much attached to the young mother that she claimed the right of god- ser ior the baby, and gave her the e but expensive name of Douschka, Russian which means iL the language little darling.” In the same year that Lincoln was elect- ed President Colonel Pickens was elected Governor of South Carollna. He re- signed his diplomatic position and re- turned home. His departure cast a gloom over the entire court and the little child | ¥ was loaded with presents. The Czar, with his own_ hand, hung around her neck a fine minfature of himself in gold. To the day of his death he never forgot her, but | the return of each birthday brought M(h' it a valuable present from the Czar. | Now the scene changes. Lincoln was inaugurated Pr lent and Colonel Plcl!.-< ens Governor of South Carolina. You all | know too well what followed the secession of most of the Southern Btates, the or- ganization of the Confederacy at Mont- gomery, Ala., the levying of troops and | the preparation for the terrible war that follow Beauregard was in command | | at Charleston, and it was deemed best to reduce Fort Sumter, in Charleston har- | bor, so he sent a telegram to the Gover- | nor’at Columbia to visit the historic city | at once to “‘witness the inception of hos- | tilities.” The wife and baby went with | the Governor, who after carefully inspect- ing all the batteries declared that all v\as~ ready. General Beauregard then took the child in his arms, placed @ torch in her | | hend and showed her where to touch the | fuse, and thus was fired the first gun by little Douschka, the godchild of the Em- ress of Russia. But this was not the | ast of her sanguinary experiences during | the terrible war that she started. A few years later occurred another re- markable event in her life, which was | more sad and heartrending than it was | remarkable. It was a sad wedding scene. Her half-sister, a_daughter of her father | by a former marriage, was to be married. | They stood at the sacred altar. | Douschka stood with the attendants near | | the bride with both hands full of flowers. | A moment more and these two throbbing hearts would be joined for life and two lives happily united in one. But, alas!| Just as the Ffl)érnn words fell from 1hew minister's lips—"“now I pronounce you'— | | all were startled—a shriek, a groan, a| | frantic scream and all was changed. A cruel ball from a Federal gunboat, which was ading to besiege the doomed city, | crashed through tke roof of the sacred | place and struck the fair young bride full {In the chest and dashed out the young rcus period. Her warm | life blood was ered over all the at- tendarts and the groom and little | Douschka were nearly drenched. This was surely one of the saddest scemes in all the dark years of carnage that made the South a desolation and filled the land with mourners. | It is known that Governor Pickens had children by three marriages, Douschka. | being the youngest, but that one of his | daughters had been killed certainly is not | generally known. Governor Pickens died about the close of the war. Douschka grew up to lovely womanhood and mar- ried D1. Dugas of Augusta, Ga. She died | & year ago.
