A private correspondent of The Independent, writing from Washington, gives the following interesting incident:--
“A member of a Worcester company was introduced to me as a man of pluck. He received orders at 11 1/2 o'clock on Monday night that his company would move for Washington at 4 A. M. At 3 o'clock he called for the young lady to whom he was engaged, in a carriage, and they immediately drove to a clergyman's and were married.
At 4 o'clock he left with his company.
He is a handsome young fellow, of whom his new wife may well be proud.” --Independent, May 2.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
