MODERN CHIvALRY.--We heard, the other day,
OF an affair which has recently occurred II Gcor-
gia of so atrocous character that it disgraces
the community where such deed could have
been committed The outline is this: A young
girl of some property, an orphan, under the guar
dianship Of her sisters husband, was Oh the eve
Of marriage with tho son of a Baptist clergyman
in South Carolina. Her brother -in-law formed
the base design Of eventually possessing himself
of her property, by breaking off the match, and,
perhaps, breaking her heart also. a few days be-
fore the intended marriage, he addressed letter
TO the father of the bridegroom maiigning her
in the ylest manner, and pretending to be intlu
encod in his disclosures by regard for the peace
Of her lover. He also caused the same ISLANDERS
to be propogated in the community where the
young lady resided. The clergyman made In
slant inquiry into the facts, which resulted in d
conviction of her entire innocencc-but, shameful
to relate, the bastard bridegroom, instead Of inter
posing to vindicate her whom he knew to be in
nocent and was bound in honor to protect de-
serted her, leaving her to the mercy Of the tiend
who had planned her ruin. So far as we can learn,
this wretch has escaped punishment.
