The recent unfortunate affair be? tween Colonel F. and Captain DeV., at Mobile, has led to a good deal of fashionable gossip. Colonel F. is the son of a worthy and distinguished citizen of Mobile. Young and gal? lant, he a year or two since wooed and won the belle of Alabama, taking to his home and heart the fairest woman of the land. In due time he was called away to the wars, and his fair wife consoled herself as best she could under the circumstances. Eventually there appeared above the horizon of fashionable society, at Mobile, a gay young Cuban-hand- j some, dashing, brilliant, rich. Never was hero of romance more exquisite in j taste or polished in manners. Need we say that this young exquisite was Captain DeV.? Among the ladies DeV. created" an immediate sensation, j He was the "very genteel fellow" j they had been so loug sighing about, and as he was a soldier of fortune and occupied an honorary position on General Maury's staff, he was at once voted an Admirable Crichton in ac? complishments, and a Julius Caesar in bravery. The handsome young cavalier was not long in discovering who the fairest woman in Mobile was, and he soon became as much fascinated by her loveliness as Thomas Seymour was by Catharine Parr in the wicked days of -Henry Vin. With plenty of j Spanish gold in his pocket, a gay ap- ! pe aran ce, good address and line i horses, the gallant Cuban fairly took : young Mobile by storm. Even Claude Melnotte was not more free with the ! money furnished him by his tempters ; than he with the re\ ernies of a sugar estate in the "ever faithful isle." At length scandal begin to wag lier tongue and shake her insinuating finger. The beautiful young Mobile wife walked on the streets with the dashing Cuban, waltzed with him at soirees and hops, took a seat beside him in bis splendid carriage, which had just '"'run the blockade," went with him on reception evenings to Madam L.'s, and in short, accepted his attentions with all the easy confi? dence of a lady, secure in her" posi? tion, and utterly indifferent to "the world's dread laugh. " So it iell ont, when the husband of the lady returned from Iris campaigns, he heard rumors which were by no means pleasant-nothing of guilt, . but something which might ba con - strued into indiscretion. In the meantime DeV. had gone to Cuba, perhaps never to return. He did return, however, and in doing so passed through this goodly Crescent City of ours. This was about ten or twelve days ago. Arriving at Mobile, he went to the Battle House, and meeting there with Colonel F., some unpleasant words were exchanged and he got badly wounded. The matter was inquired into a day or two since by an examining court, when it appeared that DeV. was alto? gether in the wrong; that he had spoken insultingly to Colonel F., and subsequently the Colonel was at once discharged. So for the time being, tlie matter ends.-New Orleans Times. COLUMBIA, S.
