Marriage of Dan Rice. --The Cleveland Plain dealer has a lengthy account of the wedding of Dan Rice, which took place at his farm, near Girard, Penn., on the 5th inst.; Miss Charlotte Rebecca McConnell, of Girard, being the bride. His residence has recently been re-built, and is fitted up in a style of peculiar but most admirable taste. A wild and romantic tract of land, sufficiently ample, on one section of the farm, has been enclosed as a park, in which are a number of elk, deer, buffalo, etc. In the centre a fish pond is dug.
ted freshets of this Fall, over which seven hundred men and horses were connected by the great energy of their commanders in less than one week's time, and with greater speed than the news of their march could be carried by the spies who intent the country. The march itself was one of the most daring fears of the campaign, and was untiringly prosecuted in defiance of weather and mountain, by swimming rivers and traveling paths on the steep sides of mountains. At sunset on Sunday, the 10th inst., the whole command charged at full speed into Cabell Court-House, surrounding the town before the inhabitants had any notice of our approach. Although a party of the enemy had very lately been in the town, they eluded our attack be having joined their command at Ceredo. After arresting several traitors, and opening a store owned by one of them, about dark we resumed a flurried march of seven miles to Guyandotte, on the Ohio river. This place is a well built town of about 1,000 inhabitan
