force  along  the   Blue    Ridge.      The   rebel 
spasmodic  r:ii'.ls  in  the  rear  begin  again.    A 
body  of  700  attempted  on  the  13th  to  des- 
troy the  bridge  over  Cedar  run,  near  Cat- 
On  the  18th  a  body  of  rebel  cavalry,  800  in 
ember,  attacked  the  guard  on  the  railroad, 
:ar  Fairfax  station,  consisting  of  the  115th 
3W  York,  aad  captured  the  whole  of  them. 
The  rebels  are  greatly  annoyed  by  AverilFs 
.erations  in  Western  .Virginia,  and  admit 
rious  loss.    He  was  on  the  17th  at  Stanton, 
destroying  the  railroad. 

l.  Butler  is  not  apparently  inclined  to 
n  idle.  Besides  sending  Gen.  "Wild  to 
Elizabeth,  he  sent  B.  G.  Wistar  up  the 
lsula,  and  that  officer  moved  so  rapidly 
surprise  and  capture  the  entire  rebel 
son  at  Charles  City  Court  House,  con-

attempt  to  take  him  in  the  rear  whs  defeated 
by  I-Yrrern,  and  Shackli-iord,  though  driven 
back  a  half  mile,  fought  all  day  with  little 
lo>s,  I.oniistrccl  receiving  rapid  accessions 
troin  all  quarters. 

Gen.  Granger  has.  however,  got  ahead  of 
him,  and  he  will  have  to  fight  a  desperate 
battle  before  he  cau  escape.

from  Portsmouth,  Va.,  on  the'  5th,  and  on

THE   APPROACH    OF   WINTER, 


See  now  with  all  his  mighty  power 

Approach  the  Wintry  King : 
Our  cherished  flowers  are  faded  quite, 


Come  in— come  irr!  thou  Winter-Ma 

We'll  give  thee  "  Cakes  and  Ale ;" 
Come,  warm  thy  hands,  and  tell  us  n 

A  stirring  Christmas  Tale. 
A  tale— a  tale ;  in  silence  deep 

We'll  list  with  all  our  might- 
Till  midnight  tolls  its  ghostral  hour,

FARMER    GRAHAM'S 
CHRISTMAS    EVE. 


Alas!  the  cold  -white -bearded  Man 

Draws  nearer  every  day— 
Ye  blest  with  youth,  and  health,  and  s 

Hasten  his  march  to  stay. 

Then  fasten  every  window  close, 

Let  him  not  e 
He  steals  away 

And  chills  the  genial  air. 
See— see— -^he  children  'gainst  him  rush, 

Their  faces  in  a  glow, 


He  brings  the  long,  long  dreary  nigh 

And  shortens  daylight 
Wild  storms  of  hail,  and  rain,  and  ) 

And  snow  in  fleecy  showers  : 
And  yet,  how  many  joys  he  brings 

New  tales  we  read  with  glee; 
And  ilrst,  and  best  of  all  his  »itts, 

The  far-famed  Christmas  Tree. 

And  while  we  s 

Surpassing  mortal  power, 
Bright,  glittering  drops  each  pane  ador 

And  frame  ai 
Of  flowers  and  leaves  in  silver 

Like  garlands  gay  entwined, 


Many  of  readers  will  remember  the  24-th  ot 
Dec,  1856,  which  was  so  remarkable  for  its  excessive 
coldness.  Few  people  were  stirring  in  the  streets 
on  that  day,  and  those  who  did  venture  out  thrust 
their  hands  deeply  into  their  pockets,  and  vainly 
tried  to  keep  their  blood  w;i.nn  t,j  hviwutr,,.^

The  old  gentleman,  as  we  have  before  stated, 
paused  before  this  dwelling,  and  putting  on  hia 
spectacles,  bogiui  i"  .-enmuize  the  names  on  the 
various  „imi„  very  do-ely.  At  last  he  fixed  his  eyes 
on  one  which  he  appeared  to  be  seeking  for.  This 
bore  the  inscription,  "  Robert  G.  Carr,  Attorney  at 

the  said  Robert  G.  Carr's  office  was  situated  on  the 
second  story  of  the  building. 

The  old  man  heaved  a  deep  sigh,  pulled  off  his 
hat,  smoothed  down  his  scanty  locks,  and  began 
slowly  to  ascend  the  stairs.  He  soon  arrived  at  the 
dcmr.'on  which  another  label  informed  him  that  he

so  timidly  in  fact  that  he  obtained  no  answer.    He 

voice  bade  him  "  Come  in." 

He  gently  opened  the  door,  and  found  h 
a  moderately  s" 
several  hard  wooden  chairs,  a  table  covered  witti 
inkspots  and  two  desks.  This  was  Mr.  Can's 
public  office.  His  own  private  sanctum  was  the 
next  room  back,  similarly  furnished,  with  the  addi- 
tion of  some  shelves,  on  which  were  arranged  rows 
of  books,  which,  from  their  peculiar  Btyle  of  bind- 
ing,  evidently  treated  on  the  driest  of  all  subjects- 

The  old  gentleman  paused  on  the  threshold,  ant 
glanced  peculiarly  around  him.    The  front  offiet 

his  presence  by  rapping  with  his  foot  on  the  floor 
when  he  suddenly  saw,  in  the  entrance  of  the  dooi 
separating  the  public  from  the  private  office,  tin

By  Belphcgor. 

Cykus  Mugwater  was  the  name  painte

Cyrus  Mugwater  was  a  stout,  little  red-fared  ni 
1  some  forty  years  standing,  warm-hearted,  evt 
tempered  and  a  bachelor.  His  store  was  the  lov 
"  i  of  a  dwelling-house,  and  the  dwellii 
was  his  own ;  there  he  had  spent  twenty  yei

day,    and   on   Saturday   evenings   it  was 

lgle,  tingle,  every  minute.    Eight  envious 

were    neighboring    shopmen    of  Mr.    Mugwater's 

ccess.    They  didn't  see  why  ladies  should  buy 

ndkerchiefs  and  gentlemen  should  buy  gloves  at 

Mugwater's,  when  articles  just  as  good  and  just  as 

cheap  could  be  obtained  at  their   own   counters- 

"lut  about  Mugwater's  store  there  was  an  inviting 

ppearance  of  honesty  and  tidiness,  which,  perhaps, 

'as  not  bo  prominently  marked  in  its  neighbors. 

To  wait  upon  customers  Mr.  Mugwater  employed 

respectively  Miss  Eliza  Spink  and  Mr.  Orestes 
"  mythe.  Miss  Spink  was  nineteen  years  old,  or 
ither  about  nineteen  years  old,  for  Miss  Spink  was 
lady,  and,  like  most  ladies.  Miss  Spink  Led  an 
impaired  memory  and  a  mislaid  family  Bible.

Mis-<  Spick,  wit':  never  sti  a  uk  eves  and  never  so

figures  and  quick  in  temper,  Miss  Spink  was  as

Now  when  it  is  stated  that  Mr.  Mugwater  h

■s  were  designing  and  deceitful,  and 
voided  accordingly.  Moreover,  Mr. 
Smythe  had  ambition,  and  a  penniless  Bhopgiri 
was  not  the  aim  and  object  of  that  ambition.  To 
Miss  Spink's  feelings,  it  was,  of  course,  very  tan- 
talizing to  throw  fond  glances  at  a  gentleman  and 
have  no  fond  glances  thrown  back  in  return;  aDd 
to  her  personal  charms  highly  insulting  to  be  with 
that  gentleman  in  the  store  after  the  lights  had 
been  extinguished,  and  have  neither  a  kiss  snatched 
from  her  expecting  cheek  or  a  squeeze  forced  upon 
her  eager  hand.  But  then  it  was  so  satisfactory 
for  Mr.  Smythe  to  he  able  to  say  to  himself: 

"Ah,  you  little  dark-eyed  schemer,  I  have  suc- 
cessfully resisted  you  1" 

One  cloudy,  chilly  afternoon  in  November  Mr. 
Smythe  sat  behind  the  countor  paring  his  nails. 


Ilicioe:;:;  \ 


t  day,  and  Mr.  Smythe  was 
at  a  loss  what  to  do  with  himself.  He  had  been 
reading  a  novel  in  the  little  room  that  was  parti- 
tioned from  the  store,  but  as  Miss  Spink,  who  was 
sewing  there,  had  been  sighing  frequently,  deeply 
and  designedly,  the  gentleman  had  left  in  alarm 
and  disgust.  As  was  said  before,  Mr.  Smythe  waB 
paring  his  nails.  Just  as  he  was  commencing  the 
ring-finger  of  the  left  hand,  the  store-door  opened, 
iiup:ini,<  tin-  bell  and  adi 
black.  The  lady  was 
graceful,  and  when  she  threw  back  her  veil  exhibited 
a  face  of  a  beauty  so  Unusual  that  Mr.  Smythe  first 
turned  pale,  then  turned  red  and  then  felt  as  though 
his  delicate  structure  was  about  crumbling  into 
ruins.  Such  a  clear  complexion,  such  languishing 
eyes,  such  a  faultless  nose  and  such  perfect  teeth 
never  before  had  Mr.  Smythe  seen,  and  ho  had  seen 
many  ladies. 

The  lady  barely  noticed  the  effect  her   charms 
had  produced. 

"  I  Want,"  said  she,  "  a  p.iir  of  gloves." 

In  his  perturbation,  Mr.  Smythe   placed   before

"Really,"  returnedshe,  '

tell,  sir  ?"  and  she  extended  a  hand  small  and  white. 

Mr.  Smythe  certainly  had  no  business  to  touch 
that  hand,  yet  he  did,  and  simultaneously  a  thrill 
went  through  him  from  head

"Bless  me  !"  exclaimed  Mi.  Smyihe,  a  lancing  ,.t 
the  card  he  had  given  her,  "  I've  given  you  one  of

"  What  a  soft  little  hand !" 

"Sir!"  exclaimed  Miss  Spink,  violently  with- 
drawing her  hand,  "what  do  you  mean  by  this 
insulting  conduct?" 

Mr.  Smythe's  eyes  fell  from  the  ceiling;  his 
espies.-mn  was  that  of   a    man  suddenly  aroused 

"  Mean!"  faiotly  echoed  he,  with  some  dim  idea

Oh!  Orestes!  OresteB!" 

In  the  excess  of  her  grief  she  actually  threw 
self  in  Mr.  Smythe's  arms,  to  the  indescril 
horror  of   that  gentlemen.      For    a    momenl

At  the  time  of  entering  Mr.  Mugwater's  fa  ■<■  bore 
its  eun-juiary  <.-.<  -y  cxm  t  s.bm,  but,  upon  perceiving 
the  affectionate  positions  of  his  two  employee-;. 
that  expression  deepened,  into  gravity;  almosl

goodnatured  wriol 
fit  of  laughter  that 

"Ho!  ho!  ho!  ho!  Thread  my  needles!  S 
ray  buttons!  Look!  look!  look!"  and  unable 
speak  further  Mr.  Mugwater  pointed  and  shook 
finger  at  poor  Smythe. 

"Really' "  began  to  speak  the   unfortunate 

"Not  a  word,  not  a  word,"  iii-esnipted  Mr.  Mug- 
water, "I  Bee  it  all,  it's  just  as  I  wished.  Take 
her,  my  boy,  take  her.  God  bless  you,  and  ms 
you  be  happy!" 

Another  fit  of  laughter  forced  him  from  the  roor 

"  Orestes !"  sighed  Miss  Spink. 

"  Confound  you,  get  up  !"  returned  Mr.  Smyth 
gruffly. 

"  Orestes,  don't  leave  me !"  sighed  Miss  Spink. 

"  There's  the  store-bell,  take  care  of  yourself 
and  the  inhuman  Mr.  Smythe  broke  from  tl

That  evening  Mr.  Smythe  did  not  sup  with  Mr,

he  eat  nothing  until  store  was  closed,  then  he  seized

growing  red  in  the  face,  "I  consent,  will  allow

Miss  Spink,  as-  she  threw  herself  in  a  chair. 

"  Your  wife,  sir !"  echoed  Mr.  Mugwater,  "  darn,

"  Yes,  you  did !"  exclaimed  Miss  Spink,  violently, 
"he  did  hug  me,  and  if  you  hadn't  come  in  tho

Fr,vnk  Leslie's  Illustrated  Newspaper. 
No  recommendation  of  any  work  of  Mrs. 
r^teplKMjy  is  lU'eded;  this,  however,  is  a  novel 
of  far  greater  power,  interest  and  beauty 
than  any  novel  that  has  appeared  for  years. 
It   is   in  no  way  inferior  to  "Fashion   and 
Famine,"  die  most  successful  work  of  fiction 
issued  in  this  country.  It  is,  too,  a  novel 
r  day,  and  by  its  extraordinary  interest 
wiil  i'ascinate  and  absorb  every  reader  by  its 
thrilliuir   incidents,  deep   human  interest  and 
re  discrimination  of  character. 
The  awarding,  among  so  many,  of  the  tin- 
t'\'ampkd   prize,    the   amount  oi    whieli    has 
already  been  paid  to  the  .sueeessful  author- 
's, to  this  novel,  will  alone  show  that  it  is 
a  superior  order,  as  well  as  prove  the  lib- 
ality  of  the  proprietor,  and  his  resolution 
spare  no  expense  to  gratify  his  readers.

WE'LL  SING   THE   GLAD   NEW   YEAR. 

Who  was  it  spake  of  hoary  Time  ?  who  called 

him  graybeard  Time  ? 
Who  pictured  him  with  trembling  limb; 

eyelids  filled  with  rime  ? 
Why,  who  that  ever  knew  the   sprite  Qonld 

say  so  false  a  thing, 
Could  call  the  lusty  fellow  old,  who 


So  young  and  swift,  that  ere  we  mark  his 

presence  he  is  gone ; 
He  comes,  and  steals  each  Infant  hour,  the 

He  runs  away  with  laden  years,  with  treas- 
ures rich  and  rare, 
And   with  a  touch   he  palsies  limbs,  and 


He  travels  hand-in-hand  with  Death,  with 

steps  that  know  no  rest, 
And  brings  his  comrade  to   our   homos, 

gaunt,  unwelcome  guest. 
He  takes,  oh!  tearful  mothers,  from  your 

arms  your  darling  child, 
And  lovers,  many  a  maiden  fair  the  young- 
ster hath  beguiled. 
He  comes  with  life,  and  death,  and  woe,  with 

joy  and  carklng  care ; 
He  fiUs  the  hovel  full  with  wealth,  and  strips 

the  palace  barel 
He  bungs  us  hope  or  sad  despair,  a  doubt,  a 

laugh,  a  tear, 
Whatever  else  his  burden  is,   be  sure  he 

brings  New  Year! 

Then  here's  a  health  to  lusty  Time,  whatever 

be  his  fault, 
So  long  as  in  his  onward 

ster  does  not  halt ! 
With  what  he  brings  us,  joy  or  grief,  or 


We'll 


all  i 


the  young 

or  grief,  c 

part  of  life,  and  spend 


glad  New  Tear. 
'A  Happy  New  Year!"    so  the  song  runs 

ever  to  its  close, 
'A  Happy  New  Year!"    murmurs  by,  on 

every  wind  that  blows ! 
so  shall  our  song  be  not  the  past,  but  of  the 

glad  New  Year, 
iJot  hours  agone,  but  of  those  which  will 

speedily  be  here! 


Stop,  little  one,  and  talk  awhile, 

There's  time  enough  for  you. 
Your  face  has  got  a  sunny  smile, 

E'en  though  your  lips  be  blue ! 
Your  teeth  are  chattering  wil  li  the  < 

Your  peeping  toes  appear; 
Come  tel'  me,  tlion  of  (on  years  old. 

Why  Ping  the  glad  New  Year!' 


My  mother  says  that  God  is  good, 

That  he  will  not  forget, 
And  though  we  sometimes  want  for  food, 

There's  sadder  wanting  yet. 
My  father  starves  in  Southern  lands, 

Beneath  3  jailor  stern, 
And  morn  and  eve,  with  clasped  bauds, 

We  pray  for  his  return. 


My] 


ngye 


She  sriys  this  fearful  war  will  en< 
And  Time  will  dry  each  tear, 

Anil  that  is  why  my  voice  I  lend 
To  sing  the  glad  New  Year ! 


Wait  but  a  moment,  lady  fair! 

Why  singest  thou  this  strain? 
Your  smile  scarce  hides  the  mark  of  care 

You  seek  to  crush  in  vain. 
Your  hands,  though  shaped  in  dainty  form, 

Are  not  from  labor  clear, 
Your  clothing  is  not  over  warm, 

Why  sing  the  glad  New  Year? 

The  New  Year,  sir,  brings  always  joy3 

The  world  woos  not  life's  pain, 
Old  age  has  years,  the  child  its  toy, 

To  count  as  worthy  gain ! 
I  have  my  pleasures  to  pursue, 

In  spite  of  laboring  hours, 
And  Time,  who  brings  us  all  things  new, 

Brings  sometimes  blooming  flowers. 

This  year  I  am  to  wed  with  one 

Well  worthy  for  my  mate, 
His  life-work  is  so  truly  done, 

He  should  be  truly  great. 
We've  waited  through  life's  golden  prime, 

With  wavering  hope  and  fear. 
But  now  we  wed,  oh !  happy  time, 

To  sing  the  glad  New  Year  I 


HAPPY  NEW  YEAR! 

Hail!  tottering  age,  whose  dimming  eyes 

Can  scarce  perceive  the  sun, 
Across  the  grave  thy  shadow  lies, 

Thy  course  is  nearly  run ! 
Speak,  pilgrim  on  life's  farther  shore, 

Why  dost  thou  linger  here 
To  count  thy  coming  hours  o'er 

And  sing  the  glad  New  Year? 

I  tarry  or  liDger— to  enjoy  the  years 

That  come  from  God  above. 
His  hand  has  blotted  all  the  tears, 

And  left  me  only  love. 
The  New  Year  scatters  life  and  bloom 

Before  my  loitering  feet, 
My  eyes  too  dim  to  pierce  the  gloom 

And  weep  the  woes  I  meet  I 

The  coming  year  brings  life  anew; 

My  grandson  comes  of  age, 
God  teach  the  boy,  so  good  and  true, 

To  read  aright  life's  page. 
My  son,  this  year,  comes  home  from  s 

I  feel  his  presence  near, 
And  so,  while  sings  the  heart  in  me, 

I  sing  the  glad  New  Year  I

A  Story  for  the  Season. 


The  train  was  coming  in ;  a  great  red  eye 
shone  out  of  the  distant  gloom  and  steadily  gTew 
nearer  and  nearer.  Robert  Russel  thought  of  the 
fabled  CyclopB  and  of  that  scene  in  Dombey  where 
crafty  Catker  meets  his  terrible  doom. 

In  a  moment  more  the  huge  iron  creature  glided 
by  him  and  stopped. 

"  Russel,  my  dear  fellow,  how  are  you  ?" 

The  heartsome  tone  rang  sweet  and  clear  through 
the  small  Babel  of  sounds,  and  (he  familiar  fasci- 
nation speedily  wound  its  thrall  about  Mm. 

"  So,  you've  come,  St.  John !"  and  Robert  stood

Hugh  St.  John  was  already  in  the  breakfast-room 
when  May  entered,  playing  with  the  pet  of  the 
household,  and  making  futile  attempts  at  conversa- 
tion with  her  shy  cousin,  Mary  Guy.  He  looked 
<„  briaht  and  happy  that  May  found  herself  think- 
ing  he  must  like  to  be  there.  Her  brother  Robbie 
had  told  her  how  lonely  St.  John  lived,  had  shown 
her  glimpses  of  poverty  such  as  she,  in  her  shel- 
tered and  affluent  home,  knew  nothing  of.  Partly 
Robbie  had  told  her,  and  partly  she  had  guessed, 
how  bravely  trials  had  been  met  and  turned  intc

society  of  the  gay,  pleasant  people  around  him. 
Over  the  musical  clatter  of  silver  and  china  rose 
the  cheerful  mingling  of  voices.  Into  the  light  in- 
terchange   of  wit  and  sentiment  scraps  of  graver 

thought  stray. nawj.es,     political  Ides  were 

discussed,  and  May  found  herself  listening  for  a

and  thought  a  pretty  woman  will  lavish  on  the  adorn-

the  richest  bloom  of  life— her  young  married  days. 
But  her  heart  would  not  have  been  affected  by 
occurrence  at  all,  and  she  would  have  been  the  first 
to  soothe  Evesham's  impatience  and  side  with

My  lady  was  hot  and  restless,  and  her  heart, 
though  not  full  of  care,  was  full  of  wild  schemes

not  being  as  great  and  as  grand  as  she  might  have 
been  had  she  only  been  gifted  with  patience,  was 
greater  than  she  could  bear.  Besides,  now  that  she

rl  of  Corbyn  had  been  a  great  biblio- 

much  care  and  at  much  expense  he 

every  quarter  of  the 

,LS'  PTphiioioakt, 

a  many  of  his 


Thel 

globe,    books    and   mam 
parchments.    Not  being  anything  o 
he  had  been  rather  imposed  upon 


if  even  less  learning  and  greater  vanity  f 

relf,  the  state  of  the  Corbyn  library  (to  which  was 

isaally  prefixed  the  epithet  of  "  great ")  was  chaos 

luring  the  shooting  season  of  the  year  of  my  story 
>y  a  devoted  but  indiscreet  friend;  and  it  was  it 
emedy  all  its  defects,  and  get  it  in  the  order  whici 
t  behoved  the  great  Corbyn  library  to  be  in,  tha 
he  services  of  Dillon  O'Brien,  Esq.,  had  beer 
;e  cured. 

Now,  all  kinds  of  persons  may  be  expected  t: 
inswer  when  a  "nobleman  of  literary  tastes' 
idvertises  for  "  a  librarian  and  amanueni's.' 
Broken-spirited,  conscientious  English  scholars 
.vith  care  on  their  brows  and  holes  in  their  gloves 
ire  sure  to  appear;  so  are  mournful-eyed  Italians 


-Frenchmen  who  skip  and  gesticulate,  and 
1  up  with  a  shoulder-shrugging  confession  of 
c  ignorance  of  all  matters  in  heaven  and  earth, 


rarely  indeed  that  a  son  o 


ill..  -T (.:>!■  army  of  learned-dom. 

Lord  Corbyn  knew  little  enough,  heaven  knows  ; 
but  he  did  happen  to  have  that  much  knfiwledge  of 
the  law  of  chances,  viz :  that  if  the  handsome,  re- 
fined young  Irishman,  who  presented  him  elf  m   . 

a   i.','uaj  and   without   a    single    letter  of   ii.il  p,(!iiel.nin, 

was  worth  anything,  he  would  be  worth  much  as 
librarian  and  literary  slavey  to  himself. 

The  interview  was  satisfactory  so  far  to  both 
partirr.,  thai  l./>rrl  Corbyn  agreed  to  take,  and  Mr. 
O'Brien  to  give  his  services.  ""What  they  were 
worth,"  O'Brien  said,  "  could  be  better  determine  l 
at  the  end  of  the  year."  It  was  a  very  loose  and 
mi|iv.ictii-al  kind  of  arrangement,  but  Lord  (Vn-uj-o. 
was  just  gentleman  enough  to  resolve  upon  one 
thing — that  noblesse  oblige  should  not  be  the  cause 
of  the  proud,  chivalrous  young  Irishman  losing 
anything. 

It  is  one  of  the  cries  of  this  practical  age  that 
noblesse  oblige  "docs  not  pay."  I  hope  it  is  not 
true;  I  hope  that  it  is  fashionable  cynicism  alone 
which  utters  and  endorses  such 


laugh  and  deride  at  things  which  I  once  held  to  be 
true  and  great ;  but  I  have  not  learnt,  and  I  trust 
1  never  shall  learn,  to  doubt  the  gentle  feeling  that 
springs  from  gentle  blood.  At  any  rate,  evBn  if  I 
doubted  it,  Dillcn  O'Brien  did  not  -,  he  resolved  to 


oftly  sang,  in  a  rarely  a 


■vc  a  sign  to  tuose  rimes, 
And  a  blessing  for  me  to  thru,  alkv 

"  f  Give  a  sigh  to  those  times,'  "  he  rt 
terly.  "  "Why  should  she  give  a  3igh  1

rallied 


That's  all  pa: 


It  was  at  this  moment  that  Lady  Grace  ent 
with  the  invitation  liBt. 

"  Oh,  Mr.  O'Brien,"  she  said,  "we  have  a 
ner-party  on  the  20th ;  will  you  be  kind  enouj 
help  me  with  the  invitations  ?'' 

Mr.  O'Brien's  answer  was  all  that  a  polite  1 
man's  is  sure  to  be.    His  thought  was : 

""Why  couldn't  she  have  lefc  me  the  list  an

MRS,  STEPHENS'S  PRIZE  NOVEL 
The  Gulf  Between  Them. 


By  Mrs.  Amu  S.  Steplit 


The  $5,000  Prize  Tale. 

The  Gulf  Between  Them 

received  the  prize  offered  by  the  Proprietor  of 
this  Paper,  among  more  than  200  competitors. 
It  is  by  no  means  inferior  to  Mrs.  Stephens's 
successful  novel,  "Fashion  andFamine,"  and 
will  be  as  widely  read  here  and  in  Europe, 


and  take  rank  at  once  as  the  great  literary 
failure  of  the  day. 

The  publication  of  this  remarkable  work  of 
the  great  American  novelist  will  begin  in 
No.  435  of  the  paper,  and  be  beautifully 
illustrated. 

Every  preparation  has  been  made  to  print 
an  edition  sufficiently  large  to  meet  the  im- 
mense demand,  but  the  orders  already  given 


for  the  number  make  us  fear  that  many  will 
be  disappointed.  Do  not,  therefore,  omit  t» 
secure  the  number  early,  as  our  immense 
edition  will  not  meet  all  calls. 

The  Gulf  Between  Them 

is  a.  story  of  American  life,  instinct  with 
national  feeling,  real  power,  sustained  action, 
vigor  and  beauty.

i  Mexico,  ;md  of  whom  so  many  t 
nil  hairbreadth  caciipes  had  been  told. 

3ein£  on  a  footiDg  of  great  intimacy  with  his 
imily,  I  was  one  of  the  fcv.-  privileged  on^B  who 

rre  invited  to  a  soiree  given  by  his  father  to  cele- 


out  being;  able  to  account  for  the 

feeling,  I  con- 

ceived  for  him  a  most  violent  aD 

ipathy.    "When 

introduced  to  him,  his  fine,  open  f

Aiey  Markham

when,  after  the  last  waltz,  I  handed  Lucy  Mark-

there  was  a  sneer  in  his  last  salutation. 

From  that  day  he  became  a  fre

creased  iu  number  mine  became  sc 

some  business  to  transact  with.  Mr.  Markham,    1 

called  mi  imn  one  morning,  and  w 

ter  his  study,  when  I  perceived  in 

hall  a  walkingstick,  which  I  kne 

iv  to   belong  to 

ing  of  jealousy  shot  through  my  '. 

steps,  I  entered  the  drawing- 
I  passed  into  the  garden,  an

deal  of  execution.  A  ledge  of  rocks  stretched  on 
our  left,  and  it  was  a  matter  of  great  importance 
for  both  parlies  to  get  possession  of  it,  as  it  would 

Jenkins  having  exposed  his  flaDk  in  his  anxiety 
to  reach  it  first,  our  gallant  leader  rode  up  at  our 
right  and  called  out  to  us  to  charge.  It  waB  a  mag- 
nificent spectacle.  Onward  we  rode,  a  thousand  of 
us,  with  flashing  eyeB,  deepset  teeth  and  hands 
knitted  to  our  swords;  at  every  stride  our  pace 
increased  and  our  ranks  grew  closer.  When  at  a 
distance  of  a  hundred  yards  from  the  enemy,  they 
poured  a  withering  volley  into  us.  Many  of  our 
brave  fellows  were  laid  down;  but  the  rest  still 

A  yelpish  yell  from  the  rebels,  answered  by  our 

through  their  ranks.  Every  man  emptied  his 
revolver,  and  then  began  the  more  deadly  work  of 
the  sword.  It  was  an  awful  slaughter.  Three 
times  the  rebels  tried  to  rally  their  scattered  ranks ; 
three  times  we  rode  them  down,  cutting  them  up 
dreadfully. 

1  remember  no  more;  the  din,  the  smoke,  the 
agoniziDg  shrieks  of  the  wounded,  mingled  with  the 
shout  of  victory,  are  all  commingled  in  my  mind. 
All  at  once  I  experienced  a  sharp  pain  through  ray 
right  hand  and  my  left  cheek,  and  I  fell.  When  I 
came  to  myself  I  was  lying  in  an  ambulance,  with 
several  others,  and  in  the  hands  of  the  enemy. 
We  reached  .Shcpriard3to\vn  that  night  and  were

Between  me  and  the  Gulden  stars 

A  fleecy  cloud  passed  by : 
And,  lo !  a  shadowy  form  appeared 

Against  the  midnight  sky. 
It  was  no  dream— I  could  not  sleep, 

My  wounds  forbade  all  rest — 
I  saw  the  form  of  my  true  wife, 

"With  a  baby  on  her  breast. 

I  saw  her  looking  down  on  me, 

I  felt  her  blessed  smile, 
And  the  night-wind  swept  upon  my  ear 

An  infant's  cry  the  while. 
I  raised  my  helpless  hands  to  her, 

As  I  would  bid  her  stay; 
But  the  shadowy  form,  more  shadowy  grown 

Passed  silently  away. 

Passed  upward,  upward  tiU  'twas  lost 

In  the  vast  depths  of  space, 
And  darkness  folded  in  the  form 

That  shrank  from  my  embrace. 
A  longing,  wild,  intense,  came  on, 

That  deadened  every  pain, 
And,  sick  at  heart,  I  hoped  'gainst  hope, 

That  it  would  come  again. 

The  hours  sped  on,  the  stars  grew  pale, 

The  dawn  of  day  had  come; 
And  then— I  tliink  I  fell  asleep, 

Dreaming  sweet  dreams  of  home. 
They  came  not— never  more  to  me ! 

I  saw  them  on  their  way— 
My  dead  wife  and  her  newborn  babe— 

To  the  blest  realms  of  day.

A  passionate,  a  ubitious  woman,  baffled  at  the

Summary  of  the  Week. 

Gregg's  cavalry  division,  Col.  Smith  and 
others,  have  made  cavalry  reconnoissanues 
to  Front  Royal,  Rectortown  and  Luray, 
capturing  a  number  of  rebels  in  various 
parts.     Guerillas  continue  their  raids. 

The  rebel  Gen.  Jones,  with  4,000  men, 
attacked  a  body  of  300  at  Jonesville,  but  was 
able  to  take  it  only  after  eight  hours'  desperate 
fighting,  in  which  he  lost  60  killed  and 
wounded. 

On  the  8th  the  Union  garrison  at  Peters- 
buig  was  surrounded,  and  our  troops  driven 
out  of  Burlington.  Cumberland  in  Mary- 
land is  threatened. 

On  the  7th  the  rebels  captured  a  train  of 
36  wagons. 

Imboden  had,  however,  been  attacked, 
and  driven  back  from  Winchester. 

A  picket  skirmish  took  place  at 'Fairfax 
Court  House. 

The  recent  movements  in  Western  Vir- 
ginia were  an  attempt  of  Gen.  Early  to  cut 
the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  railroad  at  Martins 
burg,  but  afraid  of  Averill  he  sent  Lee  to 
IVU'i'.-d.mr-,  and  Rosser  against  Cumberland 
Botli  failed,  however. 

In  Loudon  county  Mosby  has  won  his 
spurs  by,  we  believe,  the  first  fight  iu  which 
he  has  been  engaged.  At  4  A.  M.  on  the  10th 
he  attacked  Major  Cole,  of  the  Maryland 
eavalry,  but  is  evidently  no  hand  at  liichuu- 
valiant  as  he  may  be  in  thievery.  H( 
retreated,  leaving  on  the  field  his  dead  anc 
wounded,  among  them  four  commissioned 
officers  dead.  Coles's  loss  was  two  killed, 
11  wounded. 

NORTH   CAROLINA. 

Col.  McPhersou,  with  the  1st  North  Caro- 

lina  i  negroes)  volunteers,  marched  irenn 
Nc-wbenif,  Dee.  :.;uth,lbr  Greenville,  but  met 
the  enemy  at  Washington,  and  routed  them. 

SOUTH  CAROLINA. 

On  Christmas  Day  the  Marblehead  was 
attacked  at  a  disadvantage  in  Stono  inlet, 
but  replied  vigorously,  and  held  her  ground, 
though  struck  20-  times.  The  Pawnee  and 
Williams  came  up,  and  the  rebels  fled, 
leaving  their  guns,  which  were  taken. 


u  the  Senate,  Mr.  Howe  (Wis.)  moved 
lent  be  authorised  to  call  out  1,000,000 
days,  to  release  the  Union  prisoners 
in  rebel|  prisons.  Gen.  Grant  to  lead

Magruder  is  very  unpopular,  and  his  at- 
tempt to  destroy  Indiauola,  Lavacca  and 
Powder  Hum,  has  united  the  citizens  against 
him.  The  crime-dyed  scoundrel,  who  has 
caused  the  hanging  of  hundreds  of  Union 
men  in  Texas,  had  the  effrontery  to  send  a 
flag  of  truce  to  ask  whether  we  had  hung 
two  Texans  as  reported  to  him. 

Magruder,  by  news  from  Orleans  to  Jan. 
3d,  is  concentrating  all  his  troops  to  drive 
the  national  army  out  of  Texas. 


An  officer  of  the  3d  Arkansas  rebel  regi- 
mentrecently  came  in  at  Fort  Smith, with  part 
of  his  command.  Gen.  Holmes  is  in  com- 
mand of  the  Trans-Mississippi  Department, 
Price  being  in  the  field  with  13,000  men. 

The  Bloomer  and  Restless  on  an  expedi- 
tion to  St.  Andrew's  bay  destroyed  St. 
Andrew's,  and  salt  works  belonging  to  the 
rebel  government  and  others,  to  the  value  of 
§3,000,000. 


Quantrell  has  at  last  been  defeated.  On 
the  18th  Dec.  he  was  utterly  routed,  near 
Fort  Gibson,  by  Col.  Phillips,  of  the  Indian 
brigade.  The  rebels  scattered  in  flight, 
leaving  50  killed  and  wounded  on  the  field. 

The  Judge  of  the  Admiralty  Court  at 
Halifax  decided  that  the  seizure  of  the 
Chesapeake  was  piratical,  and  ordered  her 


The  Morning  Star,  which  left  New  York, 
Dec.  26th,  was  pursued  off  Cape  Hatteras  by 
a  British  pirate.

One  day,  a  terribly  sultry  one  in  August,

"Yes,  sir!  aDd  you  also  told  me  this  morning

do  both,  father,"  was  the  boy's  reply.

The  boy's  breast  heaved  as  though  it  would

s  leisurely  walklngtowards  the 
one  lor  us  oinntr  when,  presto !  he  stumbled  upon 
Monsieur  Louis.    That  gentleman,  being  freBhly 
dyed,  was  got  up  in  the  very  costliest  style.    He 
stopped  short,  made  an  immensely  civil  bow,  and 
Broiled  grimly.    Courtesy  demanded  that  Eugene 
should  atop  too,  though  he  would  fain  have  gone  by. 
"How  are  you,  Monsieur  Eugene  t" 
"  How  are  you,  Monsieur  Louis  r" 
"  It  is  an  age  since  I  have  seen  you." 
>'  It  is  indeed  some  time." 
"  Pardon  me,  but  you  were  going  to  dine  ?" 
"  That  was  my  intention,  MouBieur  Louia,"  was 
the  quiet  reply. 

;  "  I  go  with  you  then.  I  am  on  the  loc 
quieter  cafe,  which  I  BuppOBC  you  hav 
perhaps  a  cheaper  ?" 

"Both  quieter  and  cheaper,"  Bald 
coloring. 

"  You  do  not  object  to  my  company  ?" 
"Oh,  certainly  not,"  said  Eugene,  with  hide- 
He  did  not  dare,  or  rather  did  i 
truth,  which  was  that  he  had 

So  the  two  went  quietly  along  together,  Monsieur 
Louis  never  for  one  moment  losing  his  ceremonious 
demeanor,  Eugene  perplexed  and 
that  they  had  met  again.     He  was

Monsieur  Louis  gave  orde: 
moustache  almost  fiercely, 
on  with  Borne  light  wines. 

Tell  me,"  said  Monsieur  Louis,  "haveyouseen 
little  friend,  the  Linda,  lately  ?" 
She  is  not  my  friend  particularly,  and  I  have 
seen  her  for  a  fortnight,"  said  Eugene,  stoutly. 
Monsieur  Louib  elevated  his  eyebrowB. 
A  whole  fortnight!"  he  said,  sharply.    "What 
unlucky  man  you  are !    Now,  I  have  had  the 
privilege  every  day  during  that  time." 
Eugene  knew  in  his  heart  that  it  waB  a  lie.    He 
iked  up  and  kept  hiB  eye  steadily  upon  him. 
"I  heard  that  madame  and  mademoiselle  had 
-t  Paris  for  a  fortnight,"  he  said,  quietly. 
"  Well,  man,  that  does  not  plant  them  In  the 
tipodes,  does  it  ?    Suppose  they  were  only  a  few 
iles  out;    there  are  the  steamcars,  if  one  only 
s  the  money  to  take  advantage  of  them." 
"  Did  you  receive  a  note  I  sent  you  on  that  day  ?" 
asked  Eugene. 

"      muttered  Louia,  scowling.

rdian  of  mademoiselle,  received  you  with  do- 
nee and  believed  your  story?"  aBked Eugene, 
cdulouely. 

Why,  of  course,  man !    As  to  my  story  :  I  can 
always  get  out  of  a  scrape,  even  if  others  draw  me 
very  ingenious  escape-valve,  and

Louis  sprang  to  his  feet.    This  was  all  he  wanted. 

Fire  flashed  from  his  eyes,  all  the  wrinkles  in  his 

"  ead  were  plainly  to  be  seen.    He  caught  up 

lass,  which  was  nearly  full,  and  threw  it  in  the 

of  Eugene.      This  was  unpardonable.     The 

young  fellow  leaped  upon  him  like  a  tiger.    A 

furious  struggle  ensued,  which  would  have  ended 

blood  if  they  had  not  been  parted. 

"Satisfaction  for  this!"  cried  Monsieur  Louie, 

hoaraely. 

"  I  am  ready,"  was  the  reply. 
And  throwing  down  his  card  he  rapidly  wrote  hia 
ime  and  address,  took  it  up  again  and  handed  it 
to  Monsieur  Louis,  who  received  it  with  a  muttered 
ath. 
The  young  man  returned  to  his  plain  lodgings, 


Monsieur  Louis 
Eugene  was  tolerably  skilled  ir

ink,  his  paper,  all  nicely  folded  and  cut ;  he  looked 
over  to  the  busy  streets,  which  could  be  seen  from 


said,  with  an  involuntary  shudder.  "  This  fiend 
will  kill  me — I  feel  it  in  my  heart.  He  is  merciless. 
He  thinks  I  have  fooled  him,  and  he  will  not  for- 
give.  And  my  poor  mother,  my  poor  sister !  What 
would  they  say  if  they  knew  I  even  contemplated 
duelling  ?    How  often  we  have  discussed  the  light 

dared  question  the  right  of  a  man  to  kill  me  for  an 
insult  1  Yet  this  was  no  insult ;  it  was  the  truth. 
If  ever  man  lied  deliberately  and  foully  that  man 
did.  The  villain,  to  insinuate  as  he  dared  1  He 
ought  to  be  lulled.  Such  a  wretch  is  too  bad  for 
the  light  of  day  to  look  upon.  But  if  I  killed  him ! 
Just  Heaven !  The  thought  of  having  blood  upon 
my  soul !" 

He  bent  hia  head,  with  both  hands  he  covered  his 
pallid  face.  Life  looked  very  alluring  to  him—yes, 
even  if  he  had  lost  the  sweet  object  of  his  first  love.

On  the  one  hand  there  was  fight,  on  the  other-

his  heart,  or  going  home  to  live  again  on  the  few 
francs  he  could  earn  at  that  distance  from  the 
capital.       His  mental  manhood  revolted  at  the

treat ingloriously  back,  under  cover  of  their  pro- 
tection, instead  of  their  being  under  his.  No,  no ! 
he  could  not  for  a  moment  contemplate  that  side  of 
the  question.  He  must  stand  by  what  he  had  said 
and  take  the  consequences ;  there  was  no  otherjway 
open  to  him.  After  all,  what  was  life?  To  the 
Parisian  born  it  seemed  an  empty  thing.  Every 
morning  the  papers  told  of  some  one  who  had 
deliberately  shut  the  gates  on  life  and  gone  out 
into  the  unknown  future.  Perhaps  it  would  be 
better,  weighing  the  chances;  he  thought  it  would. 
He  would  write  a  letter  tohismother,  his  sister  and 
Mademoiselle  Linda.  The  old  nurse  would  get  it ; 
but  she  had  found  him  honorable,  and  the  chances 
would  get  it.  Then  she

This  plan  decided  upon,  he  Bat 
himself  till  four  in  the  afternoon,  when  Monsieur 
Louis's  messenger  demanded  to  see  him.  That 
business  adjusted  satisfactorily,  he  tried  to  divest 
his  mind  of  the  strange  Bad  thoughts  that  wrapped 
it  as  in  a  cloud,  but  in  vain.  Go  where  he  would,

But,  as  is  too  often  the  case,  the  moral  was  ever 
weaker  than  the  spiritual  man.  It  could  not  abide 
the  finger  of  Bcorn,  it  could  not  boarthe  whisper  of

COLD  gray  morning,  just  after  daylight.  AlltM 
streets  of  Paris  were  damp,  and  moisture  streamed 
ows.  The  very  few  people 
men  and  women,  walked  with 
hrugged  shoulders  and  pinched  faces.  Paris  was 
old  and  the  Parisians  were  cold-    There  were  fires 


The  driver  looked  sleepy,  so  did  the  horBea.  Per- 
hapa  they,  poor  things,  had  hardly  been  awake  all 
night.    Inside  the  carriage,  wrapped  in  heavy  gray 

beautiful,  the  other  Was  old  and  much  faded. 
"  Linda,  child,  your  teeth  chatter ;  I  must  shut

ing.    "I  didn't  feel  a  bit  happy  t 
believe  7 


always  going  to  happen,  child," 
replied  the  nurse,  yawning  behind  her  gloved  hand. 

"Shall  we  ever  come  back  to  Paris?"  sighed 
Linda,  looking  regretfully  after  a  beautiful  prome- 
nade they  had  just  left.  "Look,  Margrave — look 
at  that  man.  He  is  running— he  seems  to  be  in  a 
desperate  fright." 

The  nurse  leaned  forward.  The  man  at  that 
moment  was  coming  towards  the  carriage. 

"  Why,  do  yon  know  him,  Margrave  I"  queried 
Linda,  anxiously.    Can  he  stop  the  carriage  ?" 

"  No,  no,  child— but  I  know  him — it  is  that  man 
whom  Monsieur  Eugene  warned  us  of.  There,  he 
has  gone  past,  but  he  had  the  audacity  to  bow.  I 
hope  you  did  not  return  it." 

"  I,  nurse  ?  of  course  not — I  do  not  know  him  at 
all.  Some  one  may  be  ill  and  he  runs  for  a  physi- 
cian, though  in  that  case  he  might  have  taken  a 
horse,  or  sent  for  the  doctor,  I  should  think." 

Speculating  about  it,  they  were  driven  on.  Linda 
h»d  sank  back  in  the  carriage,  and  was  dreamily 
gazing  on  the  objects  by  the  roadside.  They  were 
now  in  the  suburbs  of  Paris,  and  driving  past  the 
pleasant  village  of  Passy.  Suddenly  the  driver 
halted.    On  their  left  were  the  classic  grounds  of 

directly  opposite  several  men  appeared,  bearing  a 
rude  sort  of  litter,  on  which,  partly  covered  by  a 
cloak,  laid  the  body  of  a  man,  whose  lifeless  face 
upturned  to  the  heavens,  and  long,  beautiful  hair 
hanging  all  uncurled,  caused  the  old  nurse  to  cry 
out  piteously.  Linda  saw  it,  and  for  a  moment  the 
terrible  vision  deprived  her  of  all  emotion.  Then 
a  long,  wild  scream  rent  the  still  air.  The  beauti- 
ful girl  hurried  to  the  carriage  door. 

"Are   you    crazy,    Linda?'" 
frightened  at  '

THE   TUNE   AT   TWILIGHT. 

BY  ADA  VROOMAN. 


I  hear  the  little  pages  call, 
I  hear  tlie  .silver  fountains  fall, 
And  happy  voices  over  all. 
Fair  dames  and  splendid  cavaliers, 
Sweet  maids  whose  short  and  happy  years 
Have  never  known  the  blight  of  tears ; 
And  royal  banners,  torn  and  old, 
From  conquered  foes,  that  lie  a-cold— 
And  suits  of  armor  red  with  gold ; 


And  over  all,  a  princely  I' 


or  this  anil  all  the  happy  land, 
For  many  a  mile ;  at  his  command, 
The  people  give  with  open  hand. 
With  breathless  gaze  I  turn  to  see 
The  swaying  throng  pause  in  their  glee 

Oh,  wondrous  strange !  his  royal  eyes 
See  not  my  plain,  unseemly  guise, 
He  only  smiles  at  my  surprise. 
With  gentle  air  and  gracious  mien 
He  leads  me  to  his  throne— a  queen. 
Ah !  sure  this  is  uq  fading  dream. 
And  yet,  what  magic  change— the  tune 
Has  ceased,  the  monarch's  grand  saloon 
Is  gone— I  sit  alone  in  gloom.

He  called  himself  an  old,  blighted  man,  and 
scoffed  at  himself  for  looking  at  her,  and  carried 
himself,  by  a  gigantic  f  xercise  of  will,  out  of  the

who  directly  mad  >  a  set  at  him  and  bored  him,  and 

ever,  so  hard  indeed  that  she  caughtthe  glance  and 
blushed.  Altogether  he  was  fain  to  confess  to 
himself   that  night,  in   the  solitude  of   his   own 

spirit  that   was   urging  him    on   to   defy  fate  a 


wsys,  who  carry  their  point  by  dint  of  sheer  fascina- 

entirely  to  her  character,  she  had  allowed  Audrey 
to  see  that  Audrey's  brother  was  dear  to  her  in  the 
very  early  days  of  their  intercourse.  "  It  would  be 
good  for  him  to  marry  me,  because  I  love  him  so." 
she  said,  with  true  womanly  logic.  And  in  time 
Sir  Robert  came  to  think  thatit would  be  good,  too, 
and  to  struggle  against  his  golden-haired  fate  no 


ding,  in  order  that  the  Lady  of  Combhurst  might

spot  where  her  husband's  life  had  been  so  provi- 
deitally  saved  by  her  brother.  But  loving  lord  as 
he  was,  in  tbis  one  thing  he  was  stern,  that  never 
by  look,  word  or  gesture,  should  the  "  present"  re- 
fer to  the  crime  of  the  "late"  Lady  Lorme. 

So  the  little  monument  was  never  raised  down 
by  the  Devil's  Dyke.     However,  in  spite  of  this 

rarely  golden  order  down  at  Combhurst.  The 
young,  beautiful  wife,  whose  only  subtilty  was  her 

nearly  blasted.  He  was  gray-haired,  tis  true- 
nothing  hut  dye,  not  even  happiness,  restores  the 

face  soon  ceased  to  be  pallid  and  grief-seamed  and 
despair-furrowed.  He  had  another  vast  comfort, 
too,  putting  all  others  out  of  the  question— his  wife 

isthecaie,  when  the  early  love  glamour  is  OTer

FRANK  LESLIE'S  LADY'S  MAGAZINE 

FOR  FEBRUARY  18f,i, 
Containiug  the  opening  of  Miss  Bkaddon's 
new  and  exciting  Romance, 

THE  DOCTOR'S   WIFE, 

the  advanced  sheets  of  which  were  obtained 
at  a  cost  of  §3,000. 

This  will  be  esteemed  beyond  all  donbt 
her  greatest  and  ablest  work,  having  been 
secured  by  Templb  Bar  at  an  enormous 

Our  February  mnnlier  v,il.l  contain  a  splen- 
did double  page  c.  .Vie' J  Fashion  plate,  show-  .1 
ingcielit  lull  dresses,  a  four  page  Fashion] 
plate ;  new  styles  of  Bonnets,  Caps  and  Head- 
dresses, and  twelve  pages  of  miscellaneous 
patterns,  a  number  of  interesting  Tales, 
Sketches  and  Illustrations. 

Every  lady  should  take  it  for  these  reasons, 

1st— Because  it  is  the  earliest  chronicler 

of  the  latest  Parisian  Fashions. 
2d.— Because  it  has  established  Agents 

in  Paris,  Loudon  and  Berlin,  who  forward 
by  every  Steamer  the  latest  novelties, 
in  advance  of  their  publication  in  those 
cities,  exclusively  for  this  Magazine, 

3d— Because,  having  the  Largest  En- 
graving Establishment  in  this  country, 
the  Publisher  possesses  unequalled  facili- 
ties for  rapidly  reproducing  Fashion  Plates 
for  this  Magazine. 

4th.-Because  the  Colored  Steel  Fashion 

Plate  is  double  the  size  of  tint  largcM  plate 
published  in  any  other  Magazine.  It  con- 
sequently contains  twice  the  number  of 
Models  for  Dresses. 

5th— Because  it  contains  a  full-sized  Cut 
Pattern  of  some  new  atarim-nt  for  Lady's 
use,  imported  expressly  forthis  Magazine. 

6th.— Because  it  also  contains  a  Mam- 
moth Four  I'a.L'e  Euttraviut,'  of  the  latest 
Modes— the  largest  Fashion  Plate  ever 
published  in  any  Magazine. 
;h— Because,  in  additiontotheFashions, 
a  large  space  is  devoted  to  choice  Literary 
Matter,  including  Illustrated  Tales,  Bio- 
graphies, etc. 

8th.— Because  One  Hundred  Dollars  ex- 

pendeil  is  pie.  iinne:F..ii-eiilT.  Fa-niou  Heolo 
would  give  less  available  information  than 
can  be  had  in  Frank  Leslie's  Lady's  Maga- 

9th.— Because  each  number  contains  over 

100  Engravings  of  the  latest  style  for 
Morning,  Walking,  Dinner  and  Evening 
Costume  for  Ladies  and  Children.

Summary  of  the  Week. 


Gen.  Maksox,  "with  ;i  br.?:-  fore.',  ive^tly 
made  a  raid  from  Point  Lookout  into  "West- 
-nioi'-.'L'UH'I,  No*  tl.i]ii-.ilK.'r.!;nul  Mid  .Rii/nmoi:*.! 
counties,  dt'sti'i.\iiigirr<-::t  fjiun  titles  oi  yroit>, 
pork  and  bacou,  with  several  lanneiir.s  raiu 
bridges,  and  drove  oft"  prisoners,  horses, 
mules,  cattle  and  sheep.  How  much  this 
will  be  felt  by  the  rebels  mav  be  judged,  that 
laiHy  a  iriclimomi  i>:.cot.-i-  d-vnlui!  an  aviick- 
to  a  drove  of  s\Yine  that  entered  the  city, 
whose  advent  caused  the  people  as  much  joy 
as  that  of  some  Yankee  prisoners  caused 
tijfii.'  m'ici — lb*'  Yankees  eat. 

In  the  attack  ou  our  train  at  Moorefield 
junction,  the  rebels  lost  13  killed  and  20 
wounded. 

On  the  18th  the  rebels  attacked  our  pick- 
ets at  Flint  hill,  near  Fairfax  Court-House, 
but  were  repulsed.  -Two  divisions  of  Lee's 
army  have  gone  to  reinforce  Longstreet. 


On  the  nth  .Ian,  Gen.  Yauo1  i  rebel  >  ui.ji.lr 
a  raid  towards  Temsville,  and  captured  u:> 
wagons,  but  was  pursued  by  Col.  Palmer, 
who  re:o<>k  the  wagous  and  bron.uht  in  Gen. 
Vance,  with  In-:  Adjuiant-Geiieral  and  In- 
spector-General, with  150  horses  and  100 
stand  of  arms.  Tennesseeans  in  Bragg's 
army  are  deserting  bj  scores. 

Great  distress  is  said  to  prevail  in  he  rebel 
army,  but  Longstreet  has,  it  is  stated,  re- 
ceived heavy  rrinlorcenients,  and  is  advanc- 
ing on  Nashville. 

Union  men  in  Tennessee  are  crossing  out 
their  accounts  without  recourse  to  law,  and 
the  hellhounds  who  murdered  men,  women 
and  children,  and  hunted  them  with  dogs 
through  the  mountains,  are  daily  cut  down. 

NORTH   CAROLINA. 

This  State  shows  great  opposition  to  the 
Davis  tyranny.  It  wishes  to  secede  from 
secession,  aim  take  the  exploded  position  of 
armed  neutrality  or  isolated  independenci'. 
A  call  for  a  State  Convention  has  been  issued 
at  Raleigh. 


TJieshelliil-  ••>'  Chnrli-sl  .„i  coiilinnes  regu- 
larly. The  rebels,  in  despair,  are  pn-pariiii: 
rams  to  attack  our  fleet.  A  naval  expedi- 
tion up  MoiTell's  inlet  destroyed  a  rebel 
schooner  lying  there  loaded  with  cotton, 
turpentine  and  rosin. 


A  small  guard  of  the  10th   Conn,  and    iMili 
Mass.  getting  wood,  near  St.   Utgusiiiic,  were 

suddenly  attacked  by  superior  numbers, 
losing  Lieut.  Walker  in  command,  and  25 
men  killed. 


LOUISIANA. 

Madlsonville  or  Lake  Ponchartrain  was 
taken  before  Jan.  12,  by  the  12th  Maine  and 
9th  Conn,  and  some  other  troops,  and  is  now 
garrisoned. 

Gen.  Barks  has  ordered  an  election  on 
Feb.  22. 

The  rebels  are  concentrating  near  Baton 
Rouge,  but  discontent  prevails,  and  deser- 
ters come  constantly  into  Ullman's  lines. 

Gen.  Fitzhenry  Warren  has  occupied  In- 
dianola.  Cotton  is  pouring  into  our  lines, 
aud  the  rebel  cause  in  Texas  is  looked  upon 
as  hopelessly  lost. 

Gen.  Dana  has  relieved  Gen.  Washburuc. 

Oa  the  29th  an  affair  took  place  at  Mata- 
gorda bay,  between  the  13th  Maine  and  a 
large  force  of  rebel  cavalry  aided  by  a  gun- 
boat. Our  men  under  Gen.  Herron  had  landed 
to  cut  off  the  rebel  pickets,  but  were  forced 
to  re-embark.  The  rebels  the  next  night  lost 
their  gunboat,  the  J.  G.  Carr,  by  fire. 

NAVAL. 

The  Florida  is  at  Brest  watched  by  the 
Kearsage.  The  pirate  was  to  sail  in  Febru- 
ary, and  to  be  escorted  out  by  a  French  man- 
of-war,  ior  fear  that  we  should  punish  her 
for  her  atrocities. 

The  rebel  steamer  Gen.  Jackson  was  cap- 
tured Dec.  31,  off  Mobile,  by  the  Kennebec. 
She  is  worth  $100,000,  her  cargo  consisting 
of  cotton,  turpentine  and  rosin. 

The  Ranger,  Bendigo  and  Hero,  blockade- 
runners,  have  been  destroyed  off  Wilming- 
ton, but  at  the  expense  of  the  steamer  Iron 
Age,  which  ran  ashore  and  was  blown  up. 

On  Dec.  24  the  schooner  Exchange,  block- 
ade-runner, was  captured  off  Galveston  by 
the  Antona. 

On  the  31st  the  steamer  Gray  Jacket  was 
taken  by  the  Kennebec  near  Mobile,  and  on 
Jan.  17th  the  John  Scott  by  the  same  vessel. 


CONGRESS. 

Ik  the  Senate,  on  the  17th  January,  Mr. 

Wilson's  resolution  for  the  expulsion  of  Garrett  DavU 
was  referred  to  the  Judiciary  Committee.  A  vote  of 
thanks  was  passed  to  Com.  Vanderbilt  for  his  pre- 
sent of  the  steamer  Vanderbilt. 

la  the  House,  Mr.  DawEon  offered  a  resolution  that 
whenever  a  rebel  State  laid  down  its  armB  and  sub- 
mitted to  the  Government,  it  should  be  at  on.e 
re-admitted  on  the  former  status.  Rejected  by  77 
to  5i3.  A  resolution  offered  by  Mr.  Smith  thet  it  wwa 
the  duty  to  put  down  the  rebellion  at  all  hazards

Their  story  was  a  common  one.    He  had  b 
rarly  a  clerk  in  a  large  concern  in  New  York, 
by  hi3  ability,  integrity  and  business  talent 


then  crowned  his  happiness  by  leading  to  the 
modest  little  house  which  he  had  hired  and  fur- 
nished, the  gentle  girl  who  now  sat  broken-hearted 
beside  him. 

Among  the  friends  whom  he  had  gathered  around 
him  was  Henry  Ulshoeffer,  a  man  of  talent,  full  of 
plans  and  projects,  always  in  speculations,  and 
never  in  conversation  deferring  the  moment  of  his 
success  more  than  a  week,  although  no  one  ever 
knew  a  project  of  his  of  any  moment  to  succeed. 

He  was  dangerous,  for  he  was  plausible  and 
really  so  kind  hearted  and  well-meaning.  Lock- 
rlale  often  laughed  at  his  schemes,  but  in  his  indig- 
nation at  the  immense  gas  bills  which  the  company 
contrived  to  make  him  pay,  and  the  unblushing 
impudence  with  which  they  extorted  an  average 
bill  from  him  for  a  month  when  he  burnt  no  gas  at 

listened  favoraMy  to  a  speculation  of  Ulshoeffer's, 
for  making  gas  at  home  at  one-half  the  company's 
rates.    The  tniog  was  certain  of.  success.    It  was

than  I  do  for  the  ruin  that  I  have  brought  upon 
you.  I  will  yet  make  all  gaod,  and  you  shall  stand 
better  than  you  did.  To  prove  to  you  that  I  feel 
deeply,  I  have  had  an  Bss:gament  made  to  you  ol 
the  best  property  that  I  have.  It  is  not  much 
compared  to  what  I  owe  you,  and  I  deem  it 
nothing,  but  as  a  proof  my  sincerity." 

He  laid  the  p^per  on  the  table,  and  seeing 
nothing  in  Lockdale's  faoe  but  a  look  of  despair, 
stammered  a  word  or  two  more,  and  escaped  as 
frofc  the  presence  of  an  awful  judge. 

Lockdale  and  his  wife  spent  their  last  evening 
together  in  talking  over  their  plans,  and  preparing 
for  their  first  parting,  to  be  so  long  and  so  sad. 

The  next  day  she  waa  alone-  How  esgerly  she 
watched  for  letters  from  the  captain.  They  came 
and  came  regularly :  but  after  some  months  there

iiK'h-fpirkr.l  to  seek,  by 

main  a  charge  on  the  country.  His  resignation 
was  accepted,  and  he  was  now  utterly  hopeless. 
Lucy,  braver  than  he,  had  gone  out,  after  many 
resolutions  and  much  faltering,  to  seek  employ- 
ment. Nothing  offered  but  the  inevitable  needle- 
work, and  tkc  scalding  team  were  falling  on  the- 
wretched  task  as  she  labored  steadily  at  it,  out  of 
her  husband's  sight,  though  within  his  reach,  when 
the  wild-haired  little  girl  of  the  house  announced 
a  Mr.  Robertson  to  see  Mr.  Lockdale. 

The  unknown  guest  entered,  and,  approaching 
the  sick  man,  enabled  him  to  see  a  gaunt,  shrewd- 
looking  fellow,  who  at  once  plunged  into  business. 

"Mr.  Lockdale,  you  have  a  lot  of  rosin  in  the

"Rosin— forty  dollars,"  said  Lockdale,  hesitat-

"  Well,  I  know,"  said  the  other,  "  that  rosin  has 
ruled  high  lately,  but  there's  a  mighty  heap  coming

THE  CORNISH  MINER   UNDER   THE  SEA. 

Fitfully  the  tapers  shine 
In  the  deepEotallick  mine, 
Over  which  there  springs  no  turf- 
Over  which  there  moans  the  surf- 
Hoary  ocean  seems  to  chide 
Rocks  and  metals  that  divide 
TIie.se  dark  pillories  from  the  tide.

Sixty  fathoms  i 

As  he  breaks  the  copper  ore 

Two  hundred  fathoms  out  from  the  shore? 


Perhaps  of  freedom  he  hears  them  tell 

In  their  constant  flow  u        , 

While  his  striving  heart  grows  saddVr  Mini 

sadder 
Till  he  longs   to   mount  rrom   ladder  to 

ladder- 
To  leave  the  sounding  sea  below, 
Never  again  to  downward  go 
Beneath  its  proud  and  taunting  flow. 
Others  mine  beneath  the  sand 
Or  the  emerald  turf  of  their  fatherland— 
But  it  is  not  so  with  the  miuer  here, 
He  is  under  the  sea  from  year  to  year; 
The  golden  luxury  of  light 
Is  a  blessed  thing  to  his  weary  sight, 
And  the   breath  of   Heaven    is  his  heart's 

delight. 

Eight  hours  out  of  the  twenty-four 

He  buries  himseif  m  nth  the  ocean's  roar 

But  the  air  to  him  is  doubly  pure 

When  he  seeks  home  on  the  cliff  or  moor, 

Where  the  golden  sunlight  has  no  thrall,  ' 

But  lovingly  rests  on  the  cottage  wall, 

And  the  light  of  day  is  free  to  all. 

There  are  happy  dreams  for  such  as  thee, 

Oh,  Cornish  miner,  under  the  seal 

For  the  blessings  we  too  little  prize 

Are  living  pictures  before  your  eyes-"- 

And  the  changing  hues  of  the  zoolite 

Are  never  fairer  to  any  sight 

Than  your  varied  dreams  of  the  golden  light.

all  time  were  uttered.  Even  Elsie  looked  on  with 
earnest  sadness  in  her  eyes ;  and  as  for  Tom— why, 
the  noble-hearted  follow  made  a  fool  of  himself; 
and  was  compelled  to  shake  the  tears  surreptitiously 
from  his  eyes,  before  ho  dared  to  look  up  from  the 
long  survey  ho  had  been  taking  of  his  patent-leather 

It  is  almost  frightful  to  remember  how  few  mo- 
ments it  takes  to  bind  immortal  souls  together  in  a 
union  which  may  be  for  happiness,  and,  alas,  may 
be  for  such  misery  as  eternal  bondage  alone  can 
give.  The  feeling  of  awe  befitting  that  sacred  place 
had  scarcely  settled  on  the  gay  assembly,  when  the 
altar  was  deserted,  and  Grantley  Mclleu  led  his  wife 
out  of  the  church.     The  chill  hod  left  her  then. 

Agitation    had    brought  a   i',.int   glow  of  color  to   her

;  whenever  he  looked  into  the

to  an  expression  of  such  tenderness  that  its  whole 
L.nnieU'i-  was  changed. 

Elsie*  followed  close,  dexterously  keeping  hei- 
ress from  under  Tom's  feet;  indeed,  she  looked 
.  lovely  and  fairy-like,  that  it  made  the  awkward- 
.'ssaiul  embarrassment  of  her  great,  honest-hearted 


"I hope  yon  are  -all-  iied,  l-b-antloy,"  she  said  ;  4i  I 
have  done  my  best  ;   I  do  hope  yon  are  pleased." 
"My  dear  friend,  every  thing  ha-,  ken  perfect." 

"  1  ean't  thank  yon  for  all  your  kindness  to  me,'' 
"Elbiheih  said,  holding  out  her  hand;  "  but  believe 
me,  I  feel  it  deeply." 

"My  dear,  don't  speak  of  it!  Grantley  and  Elsie 
are  like  relatives  to  inc,''  cried  Mrs.  Harrington, 
"  and  I  love  you  so  much  already  !  You  looked  so

He  controlled  himself  sufficiently  to  speak  with

intil  he  had  heard  the  whole  story.  \ 

"  Don't  mention  it,"  she  entreated ;  "  I  promised 
Elizabeth  not  to  tell ;  she  thought  you  would  be

Mrs.  Harrington  hurried  down  stairs,  and  Mellen

after  that  quick  look,  Elizabeth  never  again  turned 
her  head,  and  the  stranger  shrank  back  among  the 
crowd  and  disappeared. 

The  guests  were  gathered  about  the  sumptuous

her.  The  chamber  was  large  end  richh  f.im'cdied.

Elizabeth  coiihl  not  help  remarking  that  tin;  princi-

which  was  in  one  of  the  Octagon  towers,  looked  out

lying  cold  and  dim  on  their  hearts  nevertheless,  t

CHAPTER  VI. 
'  Mellen  was  still  a  ; 
,  though  the  natural  gi 


fourteen,  and  on  her  death-bed  Grander  Mellen  had 

his  trust,  and  the  love  and  tenderness  he  displayed 
towards  her  were  beautiful  and  touching  to  witness. 

He  was  never  suspicious,  never  severe  with  her, 
though  these  were  tho  worst  failings  of  his  charac- 
ter. Elsie  was  to  be  treated  as  a  child ;  to  be  petted, 
and  indulged,  and  allowed  to  live  in  the  sunshine, 
whatever  c.Im:  might  befall  others. 

Although  iicr  health  was  good,  sho  had  always 
been  rather  delicate  in  appearance,  aud  that  made 
him  more  careful  of  her.  Ho  was  haunted  with  the 
fear  that  -he  was  to  i'Mv  under  their  family  scourge, 
consumption,  though  u:  reality  she  was  one  of  those

during  the  first  period  of  tint  dreary  honeymoon 

Mellen    and    Elsie    were    standing   on   tho    poi 

upon  them  with  such  au  outpouring  of  confusi 

and  delight  that  it  might  have  softened  anybody 
wards  him. 

"I    couldn't  stop  away  another  day,''  he  cried, 
wri uiing  Mc;ien\-  hand  tii I  it  ached  lor  hall' an  hour 


aftei 
"  We  are  very  glad  to  see  you,"  replied  Mellen 

"  I  am  much  obliged,  I'm  sure,"  exclaimed  Tom 
"  and  you're  just  a  trump,  that's  the  truth." 

"I  suppose  that's  tho  reason  you  keep  him  so 
carefully  in  your  hand,"  iuterpuM.-d  Ld-ie.  laughing 

Tom  was  instautly  covered  with  confusion,  and 
let  Mellen's  hand  drop.  He  knew  there  was  a  joke 
somewhere,  but  fur  tho  life  of  luui  ho  could  not  sec 


'You 


.-aid    '  flow  do   \ 


Id    thing,  and  don't  begin  to  quarrel  the  mo. 

Tom  blushed  'like  a  girl  while  he  bent  ovei 
his,  holding  it  carefully. 
ha  sort  of  delighted  woi 
s  if  it  had  been  some  rare  rose-tinted  shell 
,'onld  l.'M-.d;  at  tlio  slightest  touch. 

But  Mellen   was  not  looking  at  them ;  ho  stood 
here  wondering  if  this  man  could  have  been  of  any 
onsequence  in  Elizabeth's  past.    Could  sho  hi 
lived  him,  and  beon  prevented  from  marrying  1

st  devoted  of  knights." 

'  I'd  stand  ou  my  head  if  you  asked  it,"  shouted 

m,  impetuously. 

'How  delicionsly  odd   yon  would  look!"   cried

'You  don't  know  what  you   are  saying;  you

'  Indeed  I   do  1      Oh,   Miss   EIbic,   if  you   only 

Horo  is  Bcsmo,"  .-he  interrupted,  as  her  sister 
o  out  on  the  portico,  followed  by  Mellen. 
lizabeth  was   rejoiced  to  see  honest  Tom  ;   he 
tho  only  relative  sho  possessed,  and  she  loved 


"Indeed   we   shall,"    be  said;    "you  will    always 

find  a  room  at  your  service,  and  a  sincere  welcome." 

No,  E.i/abctli  nover  could  have  cared  for  him — 


'Your  chamber  is  ready,"  said  Elizabeth;  "we 


expected  you  to-day." 

"lie  doesn't  need  i

(Slu;  im:  ntf.  and  iie  I  viewed,  obediently  as  a  great 
Ni-w:'.i-.;:»dland  dog. 

Elizabeth  looked  after  them  a  little  sadly,  and 
smothered  a  sigh  of  anxiety.  She  saw  what  Elsie 
was  so  hceille-dy  doing,  and  knew  Tom  well  enough 
to  understand  bow  route  his  biill'eiings  would  bo 
when  ho  was  roused  :':o:n  his  entrancing  dream. 

-t.iy.  iiiid  there  w;n  i:o  )<■  qi  for  it.      Elsie  made  him 


unprincipled  to  encourage  this  young  fellow  as  sho 

did,  never  entered  her  bead,  indeed,  ii'tbo  misery 
she  was  bringing  upon  him  bad  been  pointed  Out 
to  her,  she  would  only  have  laughed  nt  it  as  a  cap- 
When  Tom  Fuller  went  back  to  town,  Elsie  was 
taken  with  a  strong  desire  to  visit  dear  Mrs.  Har- 
rington. Tom  was  a  sort  of  cousin,  now,  and  would 
make  a  capital  escort.  Besides,  she  was  sure  Grant- 
ley  and  Elizabeth  would  be  much  happier  alone. 
IVi-haps  '.Mellen  thought  so  too.  At  any  rate,  ho 
made  no  objections,  and  Elsie  went.

Summary  of  the  Week, 

Gen.  Graham  made  a  successful  raid  up 
James  river,  with  three  transports,  landed 
at  a  point  on  the  peninsula  below  Fort  Pow- 
hattan,  captured  20  rebels,  as  many  negroes, 
five  Jewish  traders,  with  large  qinmiitl.^  ui 
tobacco,  oats,  corn  and  pork. 

•A  detachment  of  colored  troops  also 
brought  m  a  number  of  prisoners  and  con- 
trabands from  East  river. 

Gen.  Butler  has  determined  so  to  puuish 
the  rebel  mail  carriers  as  to  put  a  stop  to 
this  business. 

Disaffection  is  breaking  out  at  Uichim  n-l, 
the  house  of  Ji-iiVrs  >n  D;-\  i,s  was  set  on  tire, 
but  saved ;  the  hospital  at  Fort  Winder  was, 
however,  set  on  Are,  and  completely  des- 
troyed with  all  its  stores. 

WESTERN   VTRGINTA. 

Here,  as  in  other  places,  deserters  come 
into  our  lines  in  grout   i nimbi -r.-.,  'ill  ivpo:  tin u; 

general  dissatisfaction  and  a  desire  to  get 

On  the  30th  a  supply  train,  under  Col. 
Snyder,   on  their  way  to  Petersburg,  was 

attacked  by  the  rebels,  under  Gen.  I!oss<t, 
near  Williamspoit,  but  after  a  stabbora 
light  Siiyiler  repulsed  the  enemy,  and  saved 
part  of  liis  iraiu. 


Omen  of  the  48  th  Ken- 
tucky were  attacked  at  Scottsville  by  500 
rebels,  and  finally  compelled  to  surrencler. 
The  rebels  then  burned  the  Court  House, 
robbed  the  place  and  retired. 


Longstreet,  reinforced  from  Johnston  or 
or  Lee,  or  both,  has  assumed  the  offensive, 
and  again  advanced  on  Knoxville,  where  a 
panic  at  once  occurred.  * 

Gen.  Sturges  and  Gen.  Parke  advanced  to 
Diuiuridge,  but  were  attacked  on  the  1'lth  by 
Hood  and  BusliroJ  Johnsou,  who  pressed 
them  so  hard  that  but  for  a  charge  of 
McCook's  cavalry  at  SeviervUle  they  w.mkl 
have  been  utterly  defeated. 

Sturges  fell  back  to  Knoxville,  by  way 
of  Strawberry  plains,  losing  heavily  in 
stores  and  caissons.     At  the  Holston  he 


burned  the  bridge  and  quantities  of  clothin 
and  other  stores.  Longstreet  is  at  Bull' 
gap,  six  miles  from  Knoxville.  Meanwhile* 
mach  cavalry  skirmishing  has  occurred. 
Col.  Boone,  witli  a  force  of  mounted  infantry, 
attacked  and  destroyed  Col.  Culberton's 
rebel  camp. 

7,300  deserters  from  Bragg's  armv",  rhk-ily 
natives  of  Kentucky,  have  come 
lines  since  Oct.  20th. 

■SOUTH   CAROLINA. 

The  bombardment  of  Charleston 
and  all  the  lower  part   of  the   city  is   de- 

GEORGIA. 

Johnston  has  fallen  back  from  before 
Grant,  and  had  already  reached  Kingston  40 
miles  south  of  Dalton,  covering  his  move- 
ment by  sending  detachments  of  cavalry  into 
Tennessee.  It  is  supposed  that  he  also  sent 
a  part  of  his  forces  to  Longstreet. 


The  rebels  uniiuinn-.'  the  occupation  by 
our  troops  of  Horn  island,  and  their 
gradual  approach  on  Mobile.  In  the  northern 
part  of  the  State  the  rebel  Roddy,  on  the 
2Gth,  attempted  a  raid  on  Athens.  He 
crossed  the  Tennessee  with  two  brigades, 
but  was  engaged  with  our  forces  and 
defeated. 

On  the  9th  a  sharp  little  fight  occurred 
between  Fort  Morgan  and  our  fleet,  the 
latter  endeavoring  to  destroy  the  rebel 
steamer  aground  on  the  bar. 


A  fight  occurred  at  Bovina  between  the 
rebels  and  the  negroes,  in  which  the  rebel 
papers  say  several   hundred  m-groas  were 

killed. 

The  U.  S.  barque  Roebuck  captured  the 
Confederate  sloop  Marie  Louise  on  the  10th 
of  January,  and  the  English  schooner  Susan 
on  the  11th.  The  schooners  Fly,  William 
and   Minnie   were    also    captured    by    our 


CONGRESS. 

In  the  Senate,  on  the  25th  January,  Mr. 

ministration  of  the  Navy  Department,  waB  referred 
to  a  Select  Committer.    The  Judl:  iiry  Committee  was

with  the  decidedly  adventurous. 

Peter  Pepperthom  was  one  of   these  attach*: 
and  when  "doing  up"  the  House  of  Represent 
lives  of  the  XXXVIIth  Congress  was  often  sought 
after  by  shrewd  politicians  and  grave  legislators  to 
publish  "  important  informstion 

It  was  on  a  dull  afternoon  that  a  short  bill  with 
a  brief  title  came  before  the  House  It  wan  a

"  Things  to  be  looked  after  hereafter,"   and  left 

diitant  day,  or  forwarded  in  a  bundle  of  the 
"  miscellaneous"  to  New  York. 

That  same  morning,  as  Peter  took  his  seat  in  the 
reporter's  gallery  of  the  House,  he  received  a  card, 
enclosed  in  a  small  envelope,  on  which  was  written 
the  following :

them.  I  walked  from  one  end  of  the  gallery  to  the 
ier.  When  at  the  lower  end  I  was  struck  with 
full-length  portrait  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  but 
ough  the  canvas  were  the  distinct  marks  of  two 
let  holes.  I  thought  it  rather  strange,  and 
ned  round  to  Mrs.  Templeman,  and  made  some 
Inquiry  in  reference  to  it.     I  fancy   she  appeared 


confused,  for  she  changed  1 


r  superb  beauty.  I  lost  sight  of  her  for  two

There  was  something  very  strange  and  fearful  i 

is  revelation.    WhenI  remembered  the  influcne 

this  strange  woman  had  over  myself  1  fel 


informed  by  my  black  boy  that  a  gentleman  wished 
me.  I  gave  orders  that  he  should  be  ad- 
mitted, and  almost  immediately  afterwards  Mr. 
Templeman  entered  the  room ;  but,  oh !  so  changed, 
scarcely  knew  him.  He  was  wasted  to  a 
perfect  shadow;  his  arms  appeared  to  hang  help- 
less by  his  fide ;  his  eyes  were  sunk  deep  in  their 
s,  but  still  shone  with  an  unearthly  glare; 
his  features  were  pinched,  and  his  face  was  as 
"  as  as  that  of  a  corpse — in  fact  his  whole  ap- 
pearance was  more  that  of  a  living  corpse  than 
anything  else.     He  sat  down,  and  for  a  minute  or

No  wonder  Elizabeth  was  proudly  cold.  She  did 
not  believe  in  the  necessity  of  this  journey.  His  in- 
difference had  fast  grown  into  dislike,  she  thought, 
and  now,  yielding  to  inevitable  repulsion,  he  was

It  was  a  beautiful  evening;  the  moonlight,  esc

broad    upon    the   lawn,  blazed  across   the  rippli

transforming  every  object  in   its  rays.     The  air

The  i^w  days  left  to  Mellen  passed  in  a  tumult  of

These  cries  broke  out  vehemently  on  the  night 
before  M. dlcn's  departure.  The  ..puiled  child  would 
not  allow  her  brother  to  spend  one  moment  from 
her  side.  So  all  that  nh/ht,  Kli/aboth,  p.,1,,,  sijj|(

At  daylight,  Elsie's  egotism  was  exhausted,  and 

she  fell  asleep.  The  first  sunshine  came  stealing 
up  from  its  silvery  play  on  the  water,  and  shimmer- 
ing through  the  lace  curtains,  fell  on  the  young  girl 
as  she  slept.  There  was  (rouble  „n  that  sweet  face-

and  his  departure  agilatcd.  her  more  deeply  than  ho 
hud  ever  known  her  moved  before. 

How  lovely  she  looked  with  the  drops  trembling 
on  those  long,  golden  lashes,  and  staining  the  warm 
flush  of  her  cheeks!  One  arm,  from  which  the 
muslin  sleeve  had  fallen  back,  lay  undci  her  head, 
half  buried  in  a  tangle  of  curls  ;  sobs  broke  at  inter- 
vals through  her  parted  lips,  ending  in  long,  troubled

The  long,  black  lashes   drooped  over  those  gray 

eyes  when  she  found  their

the  young  wito  shrunk  wi

Evcry  l;idy  should  take  it  for 

1st.— Because  it  is  the  earliest  chronicler 

of  the  latest  Parisian  Fashions. 

2d.— Because  it  has  established  Agents 
in  Paris,  London  and  Berlin,  who  forward 
by  every  Steamer  the  latest  novelties, 
in  advance  of  their  publication  in  those 
cities,  exclusively  for  this  Magazine.

the  Publisher  possesses  unequalled  facib- 
tles  for  rapidly  Tvprwduciii^  Pashion  Piatei

FRANK   LESLIE'S    ILLUSTRATED   NEWSPAPER. 


OH  I   WILL  THEY  HEAR    OF    THIS    AT 
HOME? 

The  battle  trembled  In  the  scale  I 

followed  charge   through  smoke 
and  Are. 
Strong  men  stood  deathly  still  and  pale, 
To  see  the  rebel  lines  grow  nlgher! 
,  brave  as  brave  could  be, 
Rode  down  our  line  through  showers  of  J 


his  dark,  evil  eye  glared  up  from  the  tabic  at  me. 
Whiepering  to  Frank,  I  brought  him  up  on  the 
hurricane  deck,  to  escape  the  undesirable  company 
below.  The  setting  sun  juBt  sank  below  the  trees 
when  we  passed  the  little  Tillage  or  landing  of  St. 


Knowing  the  rivalry  existing  between  both  com- 
panies, I  remarked  to  Frank  that  we  were  in  for  a 
race.  The  captain's  voice  shouting  to  the  engineer, 
•'to  olap  on  more  steam,  and  show  those  Memphis 
fellows  what  legs  the  old  Ben  Lewis  had!"  con- 
firmed my  conjecture. 

An  angry  puff  of  steam  as  a  challenge,  and  the 
increased  speed  of  the  boat  as  an  answer,  quickly 
brought  out  the  passengers  until  the  decks  were 
crowded  with  eager  spectators. 

As  we  ran  past,  a  challenge,  in  the  peculiar 


aats.  A  deep  gloom  below  i 
'  ominous  stillness  cf  the  ai 
by  the  distant  moan  of  tl 


themselves  from  the  tornado,  which  w 
heard  crashing  its  way  through  the  M 
Scarcely  had  they  done  bo  when  it  bw 
river  immediately  below  us,  and  an 

and  unearthly  shrieks   of   the  win< 

ill 

Had  it  crossed  the  river  higher  up,  no  one  could 
calculate  the  consequences  to  town  or  boats,  for 
destruction  marks  the  path  of  a  Western  tornado 
As  ;twas,  even  on  the  outskirts,  our  boat  trembled 
violently,  *nd  the  tall  chimneys  shook  and  slrained 
at  their  iron  stays. 

Fate  of  the  Mississippi  Steamer. 

Nellie,  Frank  and  I  strolled  up  on  the  bluff  a 
visited  the  beautiful  little  college  at  the  south  si 
of  the  town.  "We  returned  by  a  narrow  street  tt 
led  down  to  the  wharf  and  was  destitute  of  hous> 
except  a  few  drinking-saloons  near  the  river, 
noticed,  as  we  passed  one  of  these,  a  fellow,  whe 
features  were  concealed  beneath  a  slouched  h 
follow  us  with  a  noiseless,  catliko  tread  that  I  did) 
like.    Telling  my  companions  to  walk  on  faster 

I  thought  he  had

n,  to  settle  *»ith  you  this  very  night.    It's  owing

Nellie,  who  sat  with  us  outside  her  stateroom, 
got  alarmed  at  the  violent  jminit  of  the  boats,  and 
although  we  tried  to  laugh  off  her  fears,  I  felt

I  hurried  up  to  my  companions,  and  noticing  a

The  hissing  giaut  below  had  burst  in  one  bound 
rom  his  metal  prison,  and  converted  the  stately

The  plunge  of  huge  fragments  of  the  cabin  beside

DAY  or  two  after  Mellen's  departure  Elizabeth,

Elizabeth  made  an  effort  to  receive  her  cordially, 
and  with  a  great  effort  shook  off  the  gloomy  thoughts 
that  had  oppressed  her  all  the  morning.  Mrs. 
Harrington  didnot  heed  this,  she  was  always  ready 
to  welcome  herself  and  in  haste  to  Becure  her  full 
share  of  the  conversation,  and  before, Elizabeth 

Elizabeth  had  hardly  glanced  at  the  gentlemen 
till  then,  but  now  she  recognised  the  elder  and 

probably  saved  her  life  on  the  Bloomingdale  road. 

"I  need  not  ask  a  welcome  for  this  gentleman, 
I  am  sure,"  said  Mrs.  Harrington,  clasping  both 
hands  over  Mr.  North's  arm,  and  leaning  coquet- 
tishly  upon  him.    He  is  our  preserver,  Mrs.  Mellen, 

North  smiled,  hut  rejected  these  compliments 
with  an  impatient  lift  of  the  head. 

"  Pray  allow  Mrs.  Mellen  to  forget  that  this  is 
not  our  first  meeting,"  he  said ;  "  so  small  a  service 
is  not  worth  mentioning." 

He  looked  steadily  at  Elizabeth  asjie  spoke. 
She  seemed  to  shrink  into  herself,  and  only  faltered 

"No,  no;  it  was  a  service  I  can  never  forget — 
never  hope  to  repay." 

"Nowletmebeg  a  welcome  for  my  other  friend," 
interposed  Mrs.  Harrington,  "Mr.  Hawkins.  I 
told  him  it  was  quite  a  charity  to  come  with  me 

see  your  lovely  sister-in-law." 

Mr.  Hawkins,  a  very  young  man,  was  leaning 
against  a  pillar  of  the  verandah  in  an  attitude 
which  displayed  his  very  stylish  dress  to  the  best 
possible  advantage.     He  appeared  mildly  conscious 

of  himself,  and  ready

running  his  hands  through  his  hair  aud  trying  to

Tom  was  twisting  his  hat  in  hands,  his  features 
worked  in  a  dreadful  way  in  the  attempt  he  made

Elizabeth  saw  that  he  was  restless  to  get  once 
more  into  Elsie's  presence,  painful  as  the  inter- 
view must  be  to  him,  so  she  smoothed  his  hair, 
straightened  his  necktie  and  led  him  downstairs. 

"Oh,  you  dear,  delightful  Tom  Fuller!"  cried 
Mia.  Harrington,  pleased  to  see  any  masculine 
arrive,  for  Elsie  had  carried  off  both  her  victims 
into  the  window-seat,  and  was  making  them  dizzy 
with  her  smiles  and  brilliant  nonsense. 

"I— I'm  delighted  to  see  you,"  cried  Tom, 
frantically,  thrusting  his  hat  in  her  face,  in  a  wild 
delusion  that  he  wan  offering  his  hand,  so  upset 
by  the  sight  of  Elsie  that  he  felt  as  if  rapidly 
going  up  in  an  unmanageable  balloon. 

"  I'll  juat  say  good-bye  at  the  same  time,"  pur-

"Why,  you  look  quite  white  and  ill,"  said  the

Mrs.  Mellen  felt  herself  grow  sick  at  heart;  she 
glanced  at  Elsie  ;  the  girl  was  laughing  gaily,  and 
chatting  away  with  young  Hawkins,  refjurdless  of 
Tom's  presence.  North  stood  by,  looking  at  her

Norton's  elegance  drew  from  Clara  a  thousand 
compliments,  ironical  or  sincere.  Charle3,  how- 
ever, did  not  pay  the  slightest  attention  to  her. 
This  put  her  in  a  very  bad  humor,  and  like  a  spoiled

who  was  fearfully  furious,  profited  by  his  position 
to  inflict  two  powerful  blows  on  his  adversary's 
face.  The  Dutchman  released  him  and  struck  at 
him  with  his  fi  it.  Bergiter  was  a  great  deal  strong 
er  than  his  rival,  and  although  the  latter  was  more 
agile,  the  result  of  the  combat  did  not  seem  to  be 
doubtful.  But  the  violin  was  not  the  only  talent 
that  Norton  possessed.  During  his  youth  he  had 
died  boxing,  and  he  inflicted  a  deluge  of  blows 
the  face  and  head  o(thfe  unfortunate  Dutchman, 
without  the  latter  being  able  to  return  a  single 

jor  threw  himself  on  the  American,  for  the 
se  of  getting  him  iu  his  grasp,  but  a  well  di- 


American  took  place.  The  old  men  at  last 
rated  the  combatants.  No  sooner  had  Bergiter 
got  on  his  feet  than  he  seized  a  musket  and  pointed 
it  at  his  adversary.  Roschoff  turned  away  th< 
barrel.  They  led  away  Bergiter  bleeding  profusely 
and  the  dancing  commenced.  In  that  half  savagi 
country  a  quarrel  is  such  a  common  thing  that  i 
is  very  quickly  forgotten. 


The  honor  of  the  victory  remained,  however, 
with  Norton.  As  physical  strength  and  skill  are 
the  qualities  which  the  colonists  most  esteem,  the 
young  American's  conquest  brought  him    much

'Do  you  not  see  that  Susan 
is  looking  for  you  everywhere  ?  How  I  hate  these

her  side. 

Clara  wished  to  leave  the  next  day.  Her  father 
opposed  her.  He  signified  to  her  that  he  expected 
to  remain  three  days  at  New  Garden.  The  poor 
girl,  whose  heart  had  suddenly  awakened,  followed 
N'oit  in  tike  his  shadow.  The  evening  of  the  day 
fixed  for  their  departure  she  perceived  that  the 
young  American  and  Susan  had  disappeared.  She 
found  them  sitting  under  a  large  tree  a  short  dis-

He  was  then  charged  to  keep  the  accounts  of  the 
house.    They  were  very  simple. 

By  degrees  Norton  became  a  sort  of  overseer  or 
superintendent,  but  still  Roschoff  did  not  allow  him 
to  forget  that  he  was  only  a  servant.  Accustomed 
as  Clara  was  to  have  every  desire  gratified,  she 
was  very  much  dissatisfied  with  the  want  of  respect 
shown  her  by  her  father's  new  servant.

a  single  word.  Already  repenting  of  her  anger, 
Clara  was  seeking  a  means  to  appease  Charles's 
resentment.  Norton  silently  assisted  in  getting 
the  carriages  ready,  and  only  replied  by  mono- 
syllables to  the  indirect  questions  by  which  Clara 
sought  to  engage  him  in  conversation.

plan  for  dashing  into 
s  point  of  success.  Gen. 
Butler  sent  out  an  expedition,  under 
Gen.  TVlstar,  to  proceed  by  way  of  Bottom's 
bridge,  the  attention  of  the  rebels  being 
diverted,  by  raids  on  the  James  river.  To 
prevent  Lee  frum  sending  any  troops  back 
the  second  army  corps,  under  command  of 
Gen.  Caldwell,  temporarily,  moved  to  the 
river  at  Morton's  ford,  where  the  third 
division,  under  Gun.  Hayes,  crossed  over, 
under  cover  of  Capt.  Arnold's  Rhode 
Island  battery.  A  rebel  picket  guard  was 
surprised  and  captured  in  the  works  on  th£ 
bank.  After  a  short  advance  the  rebels 
were  met  in  large  force,  when  they  made 
two  attacks  on  our  troops,  both  of  which 
weTe  gallantly  repulsed.  During  one  of 
these  fights,  one  of  our  regiments— the 
14th  Connecticut— composed  largely  of  con- 
scripts, got  tbrown  into  disorder,  and 
suffered  quite  severely  from  the  rebel  fire.

Rapidan.  Our  loss  was  about  200  killed  and 
wounded,  of  whom  only  sis  were  known  to 
be  killed. 

This  movement  left  the  field  open  for 
Butler's  attempt,  but  a  deserter  reached  the 
enemy  in  time  to  warn  them,  and  Gen. 
Wistar,  on  reaching  Bottom's  bridge,  finding 
the  way  impeded  by  trees  which  had  been 
cut  dowD,  fell  back  without  making  the 
attempt. 

Richmond  on  the  6th  and  7th  inst.  was  In 
a  state  of  the  most  feverish  excitement,  from 
midnight  on  Saturday  up  to  the  time  they 
left  on  Sunday  afternoon. 

At  midnight  on  Saturday  the  bells  of  the 
city  were  rung,  and  men  were  rushing 
through  the  streets  crying,  "To  arms!  to 
arms !  the  Yankees  are  coming !  the  Yankees 
are  coming!" 

Daring  the  remainder  of  the  night  there 
was  an  intense  commotion  everywhere 
visible.  The  Home  Guard  was  called  out, 
and  the  tramp  of  armed  men  could  be  heard 
In  ail  directions. 


Cannon  were  hauled  through  the  streets; 
women  and  children  were  hurrying  to  and 
fro,  and  there  were  all  the  evidences  of  such 
a  panic  as  has  seldom  been  witnessed  in 
Richmond. 

On  Sunday  there  was  no  abatement  in  the 
excitement.  The  guards  were  all  marched 
out  of  the  city  to  defences,  and  the  armed 
citizens  were  placed  on  guard  ove 
prisoners. 

The  prisoners  in  Libby  and  Belle  Isli 
filled    with   exultant  hope,   to   be  however 
soon  dashed.

A  very  disgraceful  affair  occurred  irj 
Butler's  department,  Lieut.-Col.  Wead,  of 
ilNUi  N.  Y.,  wishing  to  free  a  Secession  kidy, 
held  as  a  hostage  by  Col.  Draper,  2d  N.  C, 
lured  him  to  his  post  by  a  false  message, 
and  violently  rescued  his  there  amie,  calling 
out  his  whole  force  to  resist  Draper,  who 
was  brutally  treated,  beaten  and  disarmed.

IN    THE   HOSPITAL. 

Down  the  1. 

The  fair-faced  r 

Laying  her  hand  on  aching  heads, 

And  soothing  with  a  touch. 
And  many  a  dim  and  sunken  eye 
Lights  up  to  see  her  form  go  by, 
And  prays  unto  the  Power  on  High 
For  more  of  such. 


At  one  the  tones  of  prayer  are  heard, 
Another  claims  a  kindly  word, 
While  softly  by  a  moaning  third 

She  stands  the  minister  to  pain 
A  bandage,  drawn  a  thread  too  tight, 
Needs  but  the  touch  of  fingers  light, 

:white 


To  make  the  lips  that  c 


Beside  a  soldier's  couch  she  stands, 
And  holds  his  nerveless,  shrunken  hands, 
And  were  he  lord  of  many  lands 

No  brighter  face  could  smile 
Into  the  wof  ul,  wearied  breast, 
His  pallid  palms  in  silence  prest, 
Seeking  to  calm  its  sad  unrest 
By  every  wile. 
He  whispers  in  her  lowered  ear  j 

Some  words  that  thrill  our  hearts  to  hear :  I 
"  My  mother !  oh,  my  mother  dear !         . 

Pair  lady,  let  me  write." 
She  took  from  out  his  powerless  hand      ' 


The  words  that  here  recorded  stand, 

A  saddening  sight. 
"  Oh,  mother !  mourn  not  for  your  son, 
Hi'!  wound*  have  been  full  nol.lv  won 
But  still  his  lifcwork  is  not  done. 

Dear  mother,  hear  me  tell 
How  strong  my  heart  and  limbs  ho 

To-morrow  I  shall  walk  alone 


To  thee,  and 
"Where  all  my 

My  loug  . 
The  surgeon  says,  my  arm  no  m 
Can  bridle  hold,  or  broadsword 
That  I  must  leave  the  clash  of  v 


"And  so,  dear  mother,  ill  to  me 
Brings  life  anew,  I  know,  to  thee. 
Weill  though  'tis  hard,  so  let  is  be ; 

And  I  will  fondlytry 
To  win-away  this  woful  pain, 
And  be  once  more  a  boy  again, 
God  grant  the  trying  not  in  vain. 
And  so— good-bye  1" 

The  soldier  closed  his  sunken  eyes, 
And   murmured   still   his  sad  "Gooc 

byes  I" 
Until  the  sound  in  murmuring  dies. 

The  nurse,  with  folded  scroll, 
And  tearful  eyes,  bent  low  her  head; 
The  soul  immortal  swiitly  fled, 
To  wait  among  the  countless  dead 
For  the  long  roll. 


1  hyson  lias  readied  l.isparUilv  -oal, 
God  grant  full  mercy  to  his  soul, 
And  peace  to  thee !" 

To-morrow!  and  to-morrow  still ! 
Oh,  mother !  how  those  words  will  fill 
Your  sadly  aching  heart,  until 

The  last,  long  bugle  sounds , 
When  on  the  day  of  grand  review,  I 

Among  the  loyal  and  the  true, 
Tour  boy  steps  forth  to  welcome  you 
To  Heavenly  grounds. 

CLARA;

By  John  B.  Williams,  M.  D.  i

I  only  dream  of  battle  pains, 

And  fields  of  conquest  strewn  with  dead.

"  Quite  a  flirtation,  I  declare,"  said  she ;  "  :

She  might  be  very  much  at  ease  herself,  but  she 
ade  her  fither  very  uncomfortable,  while  Elsie 
id  the  widow  never  gave  over  teasing  for  a  single 
stant,  till  Elizabeth  returned  to  the  room  and 

brought  them  to  a  little  better  order. 
Luckily  dinner  wa3  announced,  andMisB  Jemima's 
elings  were  aoftened  a  little  by  that,  especially  as 
ib  reflected  that  her  father  would  be  obliged  to 
:ad  Mrs.  Mellen  into  the  dining-room.    But  that 

dreadful  Elsie  destroyed  even  that  forlorn  hope, 
"Bessie,"  said  she,  "we  must  ask  Mr.  Rhodes 
play  host  and  sit  at  the  foot  of  the  table,  ao  he 
tall  lead  Mrs.  Harrington  in."     / 
Even  Elizabeth  could  not  repress  a  smile  at  the 
;tle  elfs  malicious  craft,  and  there  was  nothing 

hite  with  rage,  but  she  was  obliged  to  control  her- 
.If,  and  the  dinner  passed  off  in  the  gayest  manner 
possible. 

(Vt  a  very  early  hour  MisB  Jemima  insisted  upon 
urning  home,  but  Elsie  had  a  parting  shaft  ready

'Now,  pa,  you  know  you  said "

"  She'll  poison  you,  Mary  Harrington,  I  kj

Even  Elizabeth  was  forced  to  laugh  at  1 
culous  sceae.  Elsie  mimicked  the  spins

She  carried  her  point ;  Elizabeth  had  no  absolute 
authority  which  could  enforce  obedience  on  a  cr cu-

Summary  of  the  Week, 

Major  Larmer,  of  the  5th   Pennyslvani 

Reserves,  was  >hui  dead  on  Monday,  15th,  in 
a  skirmi-.li  with  .niicrillas.  two  miles  e;t-n  of 
Bivutsville.  We  lost  in  the  skirmish,  beside 
Major  Larmer,  three  cavalry  men  killed  and 
one  wounded,  and  two  prisoners.  Lieut, 
Senddetcr,  Commissary  of  Col.  McCandless's 
brigade,  is  supposed  to  be  captured.  Seve- 
ral Of  the  rebels  are  said  to  have  been  killed 
or  wounded.  The  Major's  party 
treacherously  lured  to  the  place. 

Pleasauton  reports  the  capture  of 
Moseby's  gang. 

The  2d  (rebel)  Kentucky  cavalry,  formerly 
commanded  by  Gen.  John  Morgan,  and  the 
;d!  (rebel)  Alabama  cavalry,  formerly 
mauded  by  Gen.  Withers,  had  a  se 
light  on  the  9th  inst.,  the  circumstanc 
•which  are  as  iollows  :  The  term  of  service 
for  which  the  2d  Kentucky  enlisted,  expires 
on  the  2d  of  May  next.  On  the  8th  inst. 
they  received  an  invitation  from  Gen.  Joe 
Johnston  to  re-enlist.  The  regiment  almost 
unanimously  refused  to  do  so,  and  Col. 
Woodward,  Major  Lewis  and  Capts.  Elliott, 
Williams  and  Kreitxer,  who  had  encouraged 
the  men  so  to  act,  were  subsequently 
arrested  and  placed  In  prison.  At  this  the 
regiment  mutinied,  and  were  placed  under 
guard  of  the  3d  Alabama,  whom  they  turned 
upon  and  whipped,  killing  and  wounding  4l' 
ofthem.  Tin'  Kenturkians  only  lost  three 
killed  and  nine  wounded,  and  succeeded  in 
completely  routing  the  Alabamians.  The 
K -muck-ians  then  scattered  in  all  directions. 
some  13  of  them,  including  a  lieutenant, 
formerly  on  Stonewall  Jackson's  staff, 
arriving  ba  Chattanooga  the  next  day. 

Col.  William  Stokes'  regiment  had  quite  a 
fight  near  Lebanon,  and  another  near 
Carthage,  a  few  days  ago,  in  which  it  nearly 
anniliihite..'  a  bund  of  guerilbis,  the  leader  of 
which  had  the  Federal  oath  of  allegiance  in 
his  pocket,  when  killed.  Some  72  were 
captured.  The  10th  Tennessee  also  captured 
a  squad  in  Lincoln  county,  aDd  the  12th 
Tennessee  surprised  and  captured  a  small 
baud  near  Shelbyville. 

Reports  from  Tennessee  state  that

passed  by  the  enemy  drawn  up  In  line-of- 
battle  at  Camp  Finnegan,  seven  miles  from 
Jacksonville,  surprised  and  captured  a 
battery  three  miles  in  the  rear  of  the  camp 
about  midnight,  and  reached  this  place  about 

At  our  approach  the  enemy  absconded, 
sunk  the  steamer  St.  Marys,  and  burned  270 
bales  of  cotton  a  few  miles  from  Jackson- 
ville. We  have  taken,  without  the  loss  of  a 
man,  about  100  prisoners,  eight  pieces  of 
artillery,  in  serviceable  condition  and  well 
supplied  with  ammunition,  and  other  valu- 
a'.'l- ■  property  to  a  large  amouut. 


Col.  Chandler,  Provost-Marshal-Geueral, 
furnishes  some  interesting  statistics  Up 
to  this  date  nearly  2,400  citizen's  have 
taken  the  oath  of  allegiance  at  this  point; 
5,000  privates  and  11  commissioned  officers 
of  tne  rebel  army  have  also  taken  the  oath, 
and  of  these  over  500  have  entered  the 
Union  army. 


The  navy  department 
information  of  the 
blockade-runners,  the  Nut  field,  the  Dee,  the 
Emily  and  the  Fanny  and  Jenny.  The  last 
was  captured  once  before  as  the  Scotia, 
condemned  and  sold,  but  bought  by  the 
:s  in  interest  and  sent  to  Halifax.  In 
endeavoring  to  escape  from  her  this  time, 
Captain  Coxetter,  a  native  of  British 
provinces,  and  the  first  privateer  whe 
sailed  under  rebel  colors,  was  drowned. 

A  British  blockade-runner,  the  Cumber 
land,  has  also  been  captured  by  the  steamer 
De  Soto.  The  Cumberland  had  a  valuable 
cargo,  consisting  of  gunpowder,  Enfielc 
rifles  and  uniforms,  boots,  &c,  for  the  rebels; 
valued  in  all  at  about  £70,000  sterling. 

From  May,  18G1,  to  Oct.  1863,  8Gfi  vessels 
have  been  captured  or  destroyed,  for  violat-

And  I  looked  in  t 


merry  laughing  face 


Of  my  beautiful  blue-eyed  girl, 
looked  in  her  eyes,  and  it  seemed  to  me 
They  were  frank,  and  open,  and  tine.

cheeks— 
Those  eyes  of  heavenly  blue  1

A  jewel  to  wear  in  my  innermost  heart, 
;      Whose  price  1  alone  should  know. 
j  Whose  price  was  above  the  gold  of  the  earth, 
I      Beyond  the  pearls  of  the  sea, 

A  jewel,  whose  setting  was  maiden  truth, 
And  all  its  worth  for  me ! 

"  Ebb  on,  flow  on,  ye  faithless'sea ; 

Change  fickle  winds  your  course  at  will; 
Firm  as  a  rock  my  faith  shall  stand,    ' 

And  Death  shall  And  me  loving  still 
Change  cannot  reach  my  boundless  love ; 

Time  cannot  quench  Its  holy  fire; 
Coldness  or  scorn  may  crush  my  heart 

But  only  with  life  shall  love  expire  I" 
nestling  near  my  heart,  she  wept 

Sweet  tears  of  joy,  to  hear  me  vow— 
Oh!  could  that  worshipped  form  be  pressed 

Close  to  my  aching  bosom  now  I 


Oh  I  could  I  toy  with  her  raven  hair  I 
Oh !  could  I  gaze  in  her  deep  blue  eye !

Our  love  was  as  brief  as  its  moments  were  ' 
blest; 
A  few  short  months,  and  as  one  in  a  dream  1 

I  followed  my  love  to  her  place  of  rest.     ' 
She  parsed,  as  an  Infant  sinks  into  sleep ; 

Her  beauty  sublimed  as  her  hour  drew  nigh ;  I

By  Mrs,  Ann  S.  Stephens. 


Since  the  night  of  that  unpleasant  cone  in  th"

since  the  night  of  that  strange  adventure;  and, 
though  the  subject  was  never  mentioned  between 
her  and  Elizabeth,  the  young  girl's  demeanor 
towards  her  brother's  wife  was  one  of  cold,  almost 
hateful,  distrust,  while  Elizabtth  grew  more 
pensively  sad  each  day,  and  seemed  to  shrink  from 
1  any  explanation,  with  n-ini'n!  «<  ,  -.itiveness. 

At  last  Elsie  Mm-'Kt  -.mirot/  ->bsei  ted  herself 
from  the  houne.  The  very  presses  seemed  to 
have  become  hateful  to  her.     "W'thunt  ■)■  unin^  to

So  the  wint'T  von?  .i'T.iv  drearily  enough  at 
Piney  Cove  ;f-r  with  nil  hp  -  waywardness,  Elsie  had 
been  like  a  sunbeam  in  che  house;  and  Elizabeth 
pined  in  her  absence  till  the  dark  circles  widened 
under  no,-  ePes>  XX1I\  her  vojce  a(ways  had  a  sound 
of  pain  in  it.  But  with  the  most  sorrowful,  time 
moves  on,  and  even  grief  cannot  retain  one  phase 
for  ever. 

The  second  spring  began  to  scatter  a  little 
brightness  about  the  old  house,  and  in  1  hi i  fresh 
outblo^m  of  nature  Elizabeth  found  some  sources 
of  enjoyment.  Since  her  virtual  reparation  from 
Elsie  she  had  received  no  company,  but  lived  in 
utter  seclusion.  Litters  from  her  husband  came 
regularly,  but  her  replies  were  studied  and  written 


letters  spoke  cf  coining  home,  which  a  fond  wife 
so  much  desires,  she  would  ponder  over  the 
writing  with  a  look  o(  strange  dread  in  ber  face.

She  had  been  thus  for  hours,  walking  to  and  fro, 
sometimes  sweeping  the  package  on  the  table 
away  as  if  unable  longer  to  endure  it  before  her 
eyes,  only  an  instant  after  tg  uncover  it  as  if  there 
were  danger  in  allowing  it  out  of  her  sight.  Then 
she  wou.d  take  up  her  husbaod's  letter  and 
attempt  to  open  it,  but  each  time  her  courage  failed 
and  she  would  lay  it  down,  while  th.it  sickening 
trouble  at  her  heart  sent  a  new  pallor  across  her 
face,  and  left  her  trembling  and  weak  like  a  person 

It  was  growing  late  in  the  afternoon;  the  sun-

The  Conclusion  of  Vol.  XVII. 

No.  442  will  conclude  the  XVIIth  Volume 
of  Frank  Leslie's  Illustrated  Nkwspapbr, 
leaving  itla  its  well- won  position  as  the  best3 
most  accurate,  prompt  and  comprehensive 
Illustrated  Paper  in  the  "World.  It  has  been 
and  will  continue  to  be  the  Illustrated  News, 
picturing  with  pen  and  pencil  the  events  of 
the  day.  To  speak  of  our  illustrations  of  the 
Great  Civil  War  would  be  unnecessary ;  these 
have  been  endorsed  by  the  leading  Generals 
in  the  field  and  by  the  illustra;ed  papers  in 
Europe ;  butour  sketches  of  incidents,  scenes, 
men  and  manners,  from  all  parts,  are  no  less 
authentic  and  lifelike.  They  are  invariably 
from  actual  sketches,  as  we  never  delude  our 
readers  by  mere  fanciful  pictures. 

Our  literary  department  is  a  feature.  Our 
Poems  and  Tales,  finely  illustrated,  are  Amer- 
ican, racy  of  the  soil  and  inspired  by  all  that 
is  best  iu  the  society  or  grandest  in  the 
natural  beauties  of  the  Great  Republic. 

Our  next  Volume  will  contain  new  and 
striking  features,  and  will  conclude  Mrs. 
Stephens's  admirable  novel,  "The  Gulf  Be- 
tween them,"  equal  to  her  famous  "  Fashion 


Summary  of  the  Week, 

Guerilla  war  alone  breaks  the  monotony 
of  the  winter  lull  in  Virginia.  On  the  22d, 
Capt.  Page,  of  the  155th  New  York,  captured 
11  guerillas  on  the  Braddock  road  and 
brought  them  into  Fairfax;  but  on  the  same 
day  Capt.  Reed,  with  150  of  the  2d  Mass. 
cavalry,  was  attacked  on  the  Danesville 
turnpike  near  Vienna,  by  300  of  Moseby's 
nfeu,  hidden  in  a  wood.  Reed  was  killed, 
with  several  of  his  men,  and  75  taken. 


Our  forces  are  hunting  up  the  guerillas 
sharply.  An  expedition  up  Alligator  river, 
in  Tyrrell  countv,  captured  30  guerillas.  An 
excursion  up  the  Chowan  captured  30  horses 


Brig-Gen.  Bchlmmelfennig,  with  the 
New  York  Voluoteers,  had  a  skirmish  i 
the  enemy  at  St.  John's  island,  S.  C,  on 


The  great  event  of  the  week  is  the  splen- 
did movement  of  Gen.  'Sherman.  The  Rich- 
Gen.  Sherman's  forces  at  Quitman,  on  the 
Mobile  and  Ohio  railroad.  It  describes  his 
movement  as  the  boldest  of  the  war,  and  soys 
that  he  had  nearly  30,000  men  with  him, 
marching  In  close  order.  He  divided  Polk's 
army  completely,  outgeneralling  the  Bishop, 
menaced  Mobile,  and  then  struck  at  Dalton. 

On  the22d  our  troops  advanced  from  Chat- 
tanooga uudtr  Gen.  Palmer,  and  on  the  25th, 
after  a  sharp  fight,  turned  the  enemy's  works 
at  Tunnel  hill  The  rebels  fled,  losing  many 
prisoners,  and  made  a  second  stand  at  Rocky 
fails,  in  a  strong  position,  from  which  we 
have  not  yet  dislodged  them. 


ton  head,  under  Gen.  Howell,  pushed  almost 
to  Savannah,  engaged  the  enemy,  and 
brought  off  20  prisoners. 


Gen.  Finnegan  leaves  the  entire  eastern  por- 
tion of  the  State  in  our  lianas,  and  cuts  off 
from  the  rebel  army  their  last  source  of  beef. 
Texas    and    Tennessee    had    already    been 


On  the  afternoon  of  the  20th  Gen.  Sey- 
mour, with  fhe  7th  Conn,,  7th  New  Hamp- 
shire, 40th  Mass.,  48th  and  150th  New  York, 
and  8th  United  States,  met  a  rebel  army  at 
Olustee,  eight  miles  beyond  Sanderson,  on  the 
line  of  the  Jacksonville  and  Tallahassee  rail- 
road. After  a  three  hours  fight  Seymour  fell 
back,  having  lost  500  to  1,300  men.  Gen. 
Gillmore  has  suppressed  the  details.  The 
rebel  Hardee  was  on  the  field. 

Mobile,  menaced  by  sea  and  land,  is  In  a 
panic.  Gen.  Forrest  was  at  Oxford  on  the 
9th,  with  a  Union  foice  of  6,000  infantry  and 
12  regiments  of  cavalry  from  Memphis,  under 
Gen.  Smith,  in  his  front. 

Gen.  Smith,  keeping  Forrest  engaged  with 
his  infantry,  threw  his  cavalry  across  the 
Tallahatchie  near  New  Albany,  and  entered 
Poutotoc  on  the  17th,  but  has  been  forced 
back  by  a  combined  rebel  force,  and  cannot 
join  Sherman. 

mlral  Farragut's  fleet  had  gone  in  the 
direction  of  Grant's  Pass  on  the  15th,  and  on 
the  19th  was  lying  iu  the  Sound,  without 
having  landed  any  troops,  in  consequence  of 
the  bad  weather. 


On  the  22d  a  detachment  of  cavalry  and 
infantry,  under  Col.  Davis,  were  surrounded 
by  Uk  rvb  Is  ,:ii  thf  V'r-u.ihi  ioad.  Li v<;  iiiilrs 
from  Cumberland.  Two  companies  of  infan- 
try—the  91st  Indiana  and  2d  North  Caro- 
lina—cut their  way  through,  with  a  loss  of 
three  killed.  Sixty  of  Davis's  men  escaped ; 
the  rest  were  captured.  Davis  was  said  to 
be  wounded.  At  the  same  time  the  rebels 
an  attack  on  our  outposts  at  Powell's 
bridge,  but  were  repulsed  three  times,  and 
withdrew. 

Longstreet  left  Strawberry  plains  on  the 
20th,  and  Sevierville  on  the  22d,  and  crossed 
French  Broad  river.  It  is  supposed  that 
want  of  forage  compelled  this  step.

it  come  from  Red  river,  where  the  enemy 
now  coucentrated.  The  rebel  Indians 
thoroughly  disheartened.    Col.  Phillips's 

brigade  had  a  fight  wish  the  rebel  Indians 
Texans  on  the  Middle  Boggy  river,  on 
.4th  iust.,  killing  40  of  them.  The  enemy 
pursued  to  Fort  Arbuckle.     Our  forces 

then  retired  to  the  Canadian  river.    Our  loss 


The  blockade-runner  Buffalo,  with  74  bales 
cotton,  was  handsomely  cut  out  at  St. 
odrews   by    the    barque   Braziliera,   com- 
anded  by  Master  Gillespie.    He  passed  a 
rebel  camp  of  400  men  in  his  boats,  which 
only  contained  28    men,   and    brought  the 
Buffalo  and  her  crew  of  live  men,  together 
two  families  of  Union  people,  safely 
under  the  guns  of  the  barque. 
The  gunboat  Conestoga,  10  miles  below

What  can  we  guess  of.  those  old  Egyptians, 

And  the  strange  hieroglyphical  atones, 
Except,  as  affecting  to  read  tba  inscriptions, 

We  dare  also  label  the  bones? 
fitartled,  I  gaze  at  the  old  mummy  cases, 

Awed,  yet  so  longing  to  know 
How  those  st>U  hearts  and  Inscrutable  faces 

Looked  on  the  long  ago. 

Did  the  one  beat  with  the  loves  and  the 
passions 
That  charm  and  appal  us  to-day? 
And  the  oiher,   made  fairer   by   old    time 
fashions, 
Sparkle  in  triumph  gay? 

Here  is  a  foot,  and  so  beautiful  is  it, 

Daintily  holding  its  place, 
With  instep  so  shapely,  so  arched  and  ex- 
quisite, 

No  foot  of  to-day  may  outgrace. 

Here  is  a  hand,  too,  small,  deft  and  slender, 
That  dimpling  with  life,  and  pressed 

By  passionate  love-kisses,  eager  and  tender, 
Thrilled  to  its  mistress'  breast! 

Did  the  one  step,  with  the  grace  ofagoddess. 

Proudly  wkIh  palaces  through?  . 
And  the  other  shine  out,  on  the,  robe  or  tht 
bodice, 
Jewelled  and  ravishing  too  ? 

Ah !  all  is  lost  in  the  silent  abysses, 

Joy  of  theirs,  sorrow  and  ill, 
God  was  their  Father,  and  their  secret  his  is, 

He  has  kept,  and  he  keeps  it  still.

WASTING. 

Golden  days  and  months  are  flying, 
Golden  hopes  and  loves  are  dying, 
Gory  fields  and  forms  are  lying 

Under  this  December  night; 
Bitter  tears  to-night  are  falling, 
Boldly  anguished  hearts  are  calling 


avenly  light. 


Oh,  this  saddest  of  1 
Ob,  this  dreariest  of  Decembers ! 
Oft  my  heart  thrills,  and  remembers 
Other  Bunnier,  happier  days, 
When  the  spirit'?  prospects  gladder, 
With  its  surfeit-joy  grew  madder, 


"While  in  earthly,  sinful  ways.

Meeting  justice  in  his  saying, 

Hope  and  charity; 
In  our  wasting  life  and  beauty, 
In  the  silent  path  of  duty, 
Is  our  holiest  life  and  beauty, 

Immortality. 

Patient  bearing  now  our  losses, 
Peace  and  prayer  will  soothe  our  crosses,

Nourish  germs  of  better  life ;

"A  deadly  enemy,  but  never  a  traitor." 
A  dark  flush  slowly  rises  in  Sir  Stephen's  cheek 
as  he  reads,  his  eye  fills  with  anguish,  and  he  laughs, 


"  Thou'rt wrong,  old  mug,"  hi 
there  is  a  traitor  in  the  line  at  1

self-questioning  on  it,  as  if  son:

j  small  voice  in  his 


against  himself. 

Ay,  look  back,  Sir  Stephen;  look  back  some 
eight-and-twenty  years,  and  see  yourself,  in  your 
early  youth  again,  dreaming  of  love  under  the 
blossoming  chestnut  trees  of  Aran.  Fair  faces 
came  to  Aran  Garth  in  those  days,  but  never  the 
face  of  hiB  dreams.    No  actual  image  of  an  ideal 

in  the  early  summer  mornings  calling  to  him  with 
the  birds  as  he  awoke.  She  breathed  on  him  with 
the  March,  primroses,  and  glowed  near  him  in  the 
morning  skies.  In  the  storms  of  April  he  seemed 
to  see  her  spirit  struggling  in  the  shaken  trees,  the 
moaning  water  and  dishevelled  flowers,  as  though 
she  yearned  for  a  human  form  in  which  to  come  to 
him.  Through  long  June  nights,  as  he  lay  upon 
the  grass  awake,  he  seemed  to  hear  herfootsteps  in 
the  silent  paths,  and  to  feel  ethereal  hands  miniB- 
tering  to  him  and  fanning  him  with  green  boughs, 
and  shaking  perfumed  dew  from  the  flowers  upon 
his  face.  She  sighed  upon  him  with  the  roses  and 
and  Bung  to  him  with  the  nightingale,  and  all  night 
he  felt  eyes  gazing  down  on  him  with  the  throbbing 
stars,  tender  and  serene  and  full  of  stedfast  love. 

He  grew  heart-sick  of  looking  into  every  face 
and  finding  her  not ;  and  sometimes  he  looked  back 
upon  the  hours  he  had  wasted  in  dreaming  of  her 
in  shame  and  sadness;  and,  pacing  the  solitary 
avenues  by  night,  he  would  determine  to  put  away

So  he  drew  the  hood  of  her  cloak  over  her  head, 
leaving  only  a  pale  gold  rim  visible  upon  her  brow, 
and  took  her  arm  through  his,  and  they  passed  out 

"  And  what  is  it  you  wish  to  say  to  me,  Genevra, 
my  child  ?"  he  asks  again. 
Three  time3  they  pace  the  length  of  the  court 

again  nearly  to  the  steps,  and  then  Genevra  stops 
and  draws  her  hand  away,  and  they  both  stand 
still,  looking  at  their  shadows  on  the  white  ground. 
Sir  Stephen  does  not  look  at  the  exquisite  face  set 
in  its  gold  rim,  but  he  knows  that  there  are  tears 
on  it,  and  that  the  lips  are  quivering;  and  he  is 
obliged  to  fatcy  himself  standing  with  his  palm  set 
against  the  door  again,  and  when  she  speaks  there 

clear  night  prows  misty  to  him.

is  dresaed,  and  kneeling  at  her  prayers.  Sir  Stephen 
raises  her  with  his  arm  and  kisses  her  tenderly. 

"Elizabeth,"  he  says,  giving  her  the  letter, 
"read  this,  then  take  it  to  Genevra,  and  if  she  is 
sleeping,  lay  it  on  her  pillow." 

She  is  sleeping,  *nd  Elizabeth  lays  the  letter  on 
her  bosom  and  leaves  her,  and  the  morning  dawnB 


Sir  Stephen  sits  in  the  quaint,  old  library,  watch-

slowly  it  comes !  "When  will  it  touch  Genevra's 
eyes  and  make  them  waken  ? 

Hark !— a  step — the  door  opens  and  closes  softly. 

Sir  Stephen  does  not  look  up.    He  feels  she  is

North  followed  the  pilot  in  silence,  only  stc 
y  the  sick  man  long  enough  to  whisper, 

"  Don't  mention  this  to  a  living  soul!" 

The  man  promised  and  kept  his  word. 

The  pilot  boat  was  Boon  unmoored  and  flying

ide,  after  giving  aome  directions  to 
his  man.  A  crowd  of  persona  met  him  as  he  leaped 
over  the  bulwarks,  and  among  them  North 
searched  with  burning  eagerness  for  that  one  face. 
It  appeared  at  last,  looking  down  upon  the  boat 
from  over  the  bulwarks.  The  bad  man's  heart 
rose  to  his  mouth ;  he  watched  every  movement  on 
deck  with  keen  interest. 

The  pilot  came  to  Mellen's  side,  and  made  a 
signal  for  the  boat  to  wait.  Then  some  luggage  was 
lowered  and  Grantley  Mellen  came  down  the  aide 

which  flew  away  with  him  towards  the  clouded  shore, 
The  wind  increased  as  they  sped  along,  and  though 
not  bo  terrible  as  it  had  been  when  that  vessel  was 
wrecked,  it  gradually  rose  to  a  degree  of  violence 

;  hissing  waveB. 


Mellen's  agonized  cry 


i  like  a  great  crippled 


tended  to  swamp  his  boat  in  the  breakers  and 
ishore,  leaving  Mellen,  who  could  not  swim, 

as  he  supposed,  to  Mb  fate.  But  now  everything 
as  forgotten  in  a  cowardly  thirst  for  life.  No 

man  could  exist  for  a  moment  in  that  awful  riot  oi 


it  on,  reeling  and  recoiling,  along  the  narrow 
into  comparatively  smooth  waters.  Mellen, 
with  one  hand  bearing  down  the  helm,  seized 
:able  and  flung  it  towards  the  disguised  boat- 
,  who  lifted  his  wild  face  for  the  directions  he 
not  the  power  to  ask. 
Be  ready,"  cried  Mellen,  with  the  quickness  c

Again  the  hope  of  safety  seemed  a  delusive  one ; 
the  skiff  swooped  away  from  the  rock,  spun  more 
giddily  about  and  threw  both  men  upon  their  knees. 
Another  instant  that  seemed  endless — an  instant 
which  decided  the  fate  of  both— as  far  as  this  world 
was  concerned.  If  the  Bkiff  obeyed  the  counter 
blast  that  was  upon  them  and  swept  towards  the 
breakers,  they  were  lost ;  still  there  was  a  hope,  if  it

"  Do  you  think  that  man  will  be  here  soon  I"  in- 

errupted  Mr.  Mellen. 
The  fisherman  felt  ruffled  and  injured  at  having

without,  and'he  said,  grnmblingly: 
"  There  he  is.    I  'spect' there'll  b

dily  put  Jake  in  excellent  spirits  for

with  the  exception  of  North  and  the  injured  man. 
North  aroused  himself  and  looked  around.  Seeing 
no  listeners  near,  he  went  up  to  the  grumbler,  and 
began  to  condole  with  him. 

"Not  a  man.    These  fellows  do  well  enough  in

The  man  laughed  in  spite  c

"Cornel"  shouted  Mellen,  laBhing  the  cable  to 
a  stunted  cedar  that  grew  in  a  cleft  of  the  rock, 
"come  up  to  the  house,  we  shall  find  a  fire  there 
and  a  glass  of  brandy.  The  old  man  will  send  some 
of  his  people  for  the  luggage." 

North  made  no  answer,  but  moved  off  towards 
the  house,  which  he  passed.  Then  he  walked 
toodily  towards  the  village.    Mellen  went  up  to

the  toiling  boatman  than  if  he  had  been  a  wooden 
machine. 

The  wind  would  seize  his  cloak  and  send  it  sweep-

COUNSELLOR  SAM  NEVINS, 


s  the  setting  sun.  There  is  a  great  fund,  i 

an  character  embodied  in  the  record,  writi 
iwritten,  of  the  early  lawyers  of  front 
many  of  them  men  of  a  high  order 
perhaps  graceful  backers-out  from  Eaatl

"Counsellor  Sam  Nevins,"  w; 

uthern  Illinois,  from  nobody 


Sam  was  continually  getting  into  scrapes, 
■which  I  will  relate  to  show  the  average. 

The  counsellor  was  acting  for  the  prosecution  in 
the  Criminal  Court  of  Jackson  county,  i 
absence  of  the  regular  operator,  who    had 
East  for  a  short  spell.    There  was  a  murder  case 
on,  a  very  aggravated  one.,  in  which  the  per 
tor,  a  stout,  brutal  Irishman,  had,  for  a  small 

Upon  this  the  counsellor  had  determined  to  spread 
himself,  and  had,  as  all  the  bar  knew,  made  great 
preparations  for  a  crushing  speech.  The  stick,  a 
short,  hickory  cudgel,  about  an  inch  and  a  half  in 
thickness,  was  in  Sam's  possession,  and  at  the 
right  time  he  had  determined  to  draw  it  forth  from 
his  desk,  brandish  it  in  the  startled  eyes  of  the 
murderer,  before  the  jury,  and  carry  everything  by 
storm.  Sara  had  prepared  himself  for  this  exciting 
copious  dos»a  of  "old  rye,"  which  he 
ibed  at  intervals  from  a  bottle  in  the  desk,  so 
nged  that  as  the  counsellor  bent  down, 
irently  to  look  for  some  paper,  a  sup  could  be 


and  dead  hour  of  night.    Not  with  the  pistol 
ie  sword,  the  weapon  of  tee  gentleman,  not 

id  the  counsellor  slipped  his  hand  into  the 

,  still  keeping  his  flashing  eye  upon  the  jury, 

and    in   an  instant  was    brandishing    before    the 

astonished  court,  a  bottle    prominently   labelled 

There  had  been  too  much  similarity  in  the  size 
of  the  bludgeon  and  the  neck  of  the  bottle,  and 
though  Cousellor  Sam  obtained  a  conviction,  the

prisoner  himself.

mestic  manufacture,  was  the  only  human  tipple 
His  opinions  on  this  point  were  once  or  twice  openlj 
expressed  in  the  courts,  a  sample  of  which  was  it

asked  me  to  haul  him  up  a  load  of  tatorB  from 
Deacon  Brown's.  I  said  I  would,  and  I  started  to 
do.  it.  I  went  down  to  old  Joe  Jimmerson's  an'  got 
my  jug  filled  with  rum,  an'  I  doan't  'member  a 
cussed  thing  after  that  for  a  week!" 

Counsellor  (with  double  fierceness) :  "  Got  your 
jug  filled  with  what?" 

Witness :  "  Rum — old  Jamaiky  rum,  squire." 

Counsellor  (fairly  jumping  with  excitement): 
"Get  down  off  that  stand,  sir!     Get  out  of  this 

the  window.  Any  man  who  drinks  Jamaica  rum 
isn't  worthy  of  belief,  on  oath  or  off." 

The  Beared  witness  did  not  wait  for  a  second 
bidding,  but  was  off  like  a  Bhot. 

It  is  only  a  natural  sequence  that  Counsellor  Sam 
should  be  somewhat  oblivious  of  many  social  duties, 
arising  out  of  his  devotion  to  the  may.  Among 
these  shortcomings  was  that  of  a  proper  recognition 
of  pecuniary  obligations.  It  is  not  recorded  that 
any  creditor  ever  succeeded  in  collecting  his  small 
account  from  the  counsellor,  though  Sam  was  full 
of  promises.    Here  is      "

TERMtS    FOR    ADVFRTISING. 


Conclusion  of  Vol.  XVII. 

The  present  number  concludes  the  Seven- 
teenth Volume  of  Frank  Lfslir's  Illus- 
trated Paper,  the  oldest,  and,  we  can  as 
safely  say,  the  most  accurate,  comprehensive 
and  prompt  Illustrated  Record  of  news  in  the 
world.  Our  pages  give  the  history  of  our 
times  with  a  fidelity  that  has  no  equal. 
Tributes  to  the  value  of  the  paper  on  this 
point  pour  in  upon  us  constantly.  They 
come  from  Generals  high  in  command,  from 
clergymen  of  distinction,  from  men  of  all 
positions. 

As  a  family  paper  it  possesses  superior 
advantages.  Its  tales  and  poems,  almost 
exclusively  original,  and  by  writers  who  have 
won  distinction  in  the  country,  are  of  the 
highest  character,  and  are  illustrated  by 
artists  of  excellent  talent.  These  stories 
are  selected  with  great  care,  and  are  such 
as  every  family  must  approve  and  enjoy. 

Our  nest  volume  will  conclude  the  ad- 
mirable novel  of  Mrs.  Stephens,  "  The  Gulf 
Between  Them,"  fully  equal  to  the  famous 
"Fashion  and  Famine,"  and  in  point  of 
illustration    will    present  new    and    varied 


Summary  of  the  Week. 


Gen.  Custer's  cavalry  started  Feb.  29,  and, 
(supported  by  the  infantry  under  Sedgwick, 
made  a  feint  upon  Lee's  lines  in  the  di- 
rection of  Madison  Court-house.  Custer  fell 
in  with  Stnart's  rebel  cavalry,  near  Char- 
lottesville, destroying  his  entire  camp  equip- 
age and  blowing-up  six  caissons ;  but  finding 
that  Stuart  was  posted  there  io  great  strength 
—  nearly  five  to  one  —  Custer  fell  back 
towards  Madison  Court-house,  burning  the 
bridges  on  the  Ravenna.  Here  he  met  another 
force  of  the  enemy,  and,  after  several  dash- 
ing charges,  drove  them  off,  capturing  500 
horses  and  50  prisoners,  without  the  loss  of 

Meanwhile  Kllpatrick  crossed  the  Iiapidan 
at  Ely's  ford  on  Sunday  morning,  Feb.  28,  at 

day  had  reached  Spottsylvania  Court-house, 
distant  IS  miles  from  the  ford. 

On  Monday  they  reached  the  Virginia  rail- 
road, which  they  tore  up  in  four  places,  nar- 
rowly missing  Gen.  Lee,  whopassfd  Li jai  than 
an  hour  before.  At  Fredericks-hall  they  cap- 
;  Court-Martial. 


A  detachment  of  500  men,  under  Col.  TJlric 
Dahlgren,  was  then  sent  towards  Louisa 
Court-house,  to  destroy  the  Jamea  river  canal, 
while  Kilpatrick  kept  on  upon  Ashland,  to 
attack  Richmond,  by  the  Brooks  turnpike. 

Dahlgren  was  misled  by  a  negro,  whom  he 
hanged ;  and  having  been  taken  to  Goochland, 
nearly  captured  Gov.  Wise.  They  burned 
the  barns  of  Seddons,  the  Secretary  of  War, 
did  some  damage  to  the  canal,  but  from  loss 
of  time  Dahlgren  failed  to  join  Kilpatrick, 
although  a  part  of  his  force  did.  He  ulti- 
mately made  his  way  to  Fortress  Monroe. 

Kilpatrick  reached  the  outer  fortifications 
on  Tuesday,  the  1st,  and  entered  the  first 
works.  The  rebels  there  threw  down  their 
arms  and  fled  or  surrendered.  At  the  next 
line  a  fight  with  artillery  took  place,  but  Kil- 
patrick found  it  too  strong,  and,  hearingother 
troops  comingup,  drew  offtoMechauicsville. 
Here  he  encamped,  but  was  shelled  out  during 
the  night.  The  next  day  he  was  joined  by 
troops  sent  out  from  Fortress  Monroe.  The 
destruction  of  railroads,  stores  and  supplies 
was  very  great. 

force  operated  in  three  columns,  de- 
vastating the  country  as  they  advanced,  being 
supplied  with  every  engine  of  destruction  that 
possibly  be  used  in  a  raid 
fight  took  place  on  the  1st  March,  at 
Deep  creek,  10  miles  from  Norfolk,  but  the 

rtillery-flring  was  going  on  at  the  lime  the 
correspondent  closed  his  dispatch.  The 
rebels  seem  to  be  infesting  the  Dismal  Swamp 
canal  m  large  numbers,  and  a  party  endea- 
voring to  make  their  way  to  Roanoke  island 
compelled  to  turn  back.  A  Lieutenant 
and  15  men  of  the  5th  Pennsylvania  cavalry 
captured,  while  reconnoitring  in  the 
wamp.    The  precise  object  of  the  rebels  in 


News  broughtby  the  S.  R.  Spauldlng,  which 
rived  at  Fortress  Mouroe  from  Newberne, 
ates  that  a  rumor  prevailed  that  a  large 
bel  force  was  within  six  miles  of  Beaufort. 
This  seems  part  of  a  plan  announced  as 
conceived  by  Davis  to  hurl  an  overwhelming 
on  our  posts  in  North  Carolina  and 
drive  us  out,  preparatory  to  a  withdrawal  of 
r  entire  force  from  Virginia.     This  step 
make  all  the  secessionists  of  North  Caro- 
Uuion  men,  none  of  the  inhabitants  desir- 
ing the  State  to  undergo  the  fate  of  Virginia. 
Davis  has  suppressed  the  Raleigh  Standard, 
has  thus   only  secured  the  election  of 
Holden,  the  editor,  as  Governor. 


Gen.   Smith's   cavalry  expedition  has  re- 
turned to  Memphis,  having  failed  in  its  efforts 

m  a  junction  with  Sherman's  army. 
They  only  got  to  West  Point,  about  half-way 

en  Corinth  and  Meridian.    At  this  place 

Chalmers  and  Roddy  attacked  them 
with  a  heavy  force,  and,  after  some  severe 
fighting,  our  men  began  a  retreat  towards 
Memphis.    The   expedition  destroyed  over 

100  bushels  of  corn,  tore  up  and  de- 
stroyed miles  of  the  Memphis  and  Ohio  rail- 
road track,  burned  many  bridges  and  trestles, 
captured  and  brought  in  over  1,500  mules  and 

i,  about  2,000  negroes  and  over  300 
rebel  prisoners.  Gen.  Sherman  advanced  to 
Meridian,  and  possibly  to  Selma,  but  also  fell 

after  destroying  all  the  railroads.  Mc- 
Pherson's  17th  corps  has  reached  Jackson. 
The  notorious  guerilla,  Col.  Richardson, 
as  captured  on  Sunday,  Feb.  28th,  south  of 
the  Cumberland  river,  below  Burkville,  by  a 
detachment  of  Col.  Weatherford's  cavalry, 
and  subsequently  shot  in  an  attempt  to  escape. 


Two  hundred  and  forty-six  shots  were  fired 

at  the  city  of  Charleston  on  Feb.  25  and  26, 

the  rebels  report  that  our  troops  are 

erecting  a  battery  onDixon'B  island,  to  com- 

and  Schooner  creek. 

On  the  14th  Feb.  a  company  of  the  1st 
Mississippi  Union  (colored)  Infantrywas  sur- 
prised near Grand Like,  Miss.,  by  a  company 
of  rebel  guealns,  wearing  Union  uniforms, 

11  but  two  wire  killed.  Some  of  the 
negroes  were  pinned  to  the  ground  with 
bayonets,  others  had  their  brains  knocked 

nd  others  were  shot  through  the  head 
while  on  their  knees  begging  for  quarter. 
The  guerillas  escaped  without  losing  a  man. 
This  is  reported  upon  the  authority  of  the 

of  the  steamer  Pringle. 


Our  fleet  opened  a  tremendous  fire  on  Fort 
Powell  on  the  morning  of  the  23d  Feb.,  and 
thought  that  it  could  not  hold  out  long. 
bel  ram  Tennessee  now  lies  under  the 
e  guns  of  Fort  Morgan.  The 
Iren  were  being  removed  from 
Mobile.  Admiral  Farragut,  on  board  the 
Calhoun,  was  inside  of  Dauphin  island,  and 
the  flagship  Hartford  was  at  Ship  Island,  40 


miles  west  of  Mobile.  An  attack  on  our 
blockading  fleet  was  anticipated,  provided 
that  the  rebel  rams  were  in  good  order  and 

NAVAL. 

The  small  sidewheel  steamer  Scotia  arrived 
on  the  3d  March  at  Fortress  Monroe,  having 
been  captured  running  the  blockade  out  of 
Wilmington.  The  gunboat  Connecticut  made 
her  a  prize.    Her  cargo  consisted  of  108  bales

A   CA'S  OF  JEALOXT37. 

i.  happy  husband  was  Philip  Campbell, 


His  wife  was  prptfy — nothing  v»ry 
at  home,  a  virtue  sometimes  seen,  ana  irue  in  ue 
adelity. 

Philip  went  in  and  out  when  ho  would,  alway 
kissed  as  he  parted,  welcomed  home  with  smile: 
never  scolded,  never  repulsed.    All  nuikedhim  b 

fully  brushed  hat,  bis  overcoat  never  lacking 

One  day  Hortense  said  to  her  husband :  "  Phili| 

walk  i"  He  mechanically  acted  on  her  suggestion 
but  as  he  walked  aloDg,  it  occurred  to  him  that  th 
request  was  a  strange  interference  with  his  usui 
liberty  of  action.  "  AVhy  should  she  send  me  out  t 
walk?"  he  aBked  himself,  not  without  aome  mis- 
giving.   So,  for  all  the  beauty  of  the  day,  his  walk 

but  instantly  slipped  a  paper,  covered  with  the 
microscopic  fly  tracks  that  ladies  delight  n,  into 
her  portfolio,  and  locked  it  All  this  did  not  es- 
cape the  husband;  his  suspicion  increased. 

She  ran  up  to  give  her  wonted  kisF,  but  the  falr 
forehead  was  now  red  as  a  child's  caught  in  mis- 
chief, and  this  did  not  quiet  poor  Philip;  but  con- 
vinced that  it  would  be  useless  to  question  her,  he 
resolved  to  devote  himself  to  unravelling  the  mys- 
tery, and  showed  in  his  demeanor  none  of  the  sue- 


nn  h.l  'veil,

"Of  course  it  was.  When  I  write  a  story  I  always 
use  a  soprano  and  contralto  for  the  two  characters, 
and  speak  it  all;  and  if  ever  you  write  a  story, 
Philip,  try  it.  You  don't  know  how  much  better 
your  dialogue  is." 

^.poor  fellow,  he  has  her  secret,  and  curneB  it. 
She  makes  him  copy  sometimes  for  her;  always 
sends  him  with  her  stories  to  editors;  and  makes 
him  her  man  of  business.    How  happy  he  waa  be-

It  Is  only  the  form  of  a  heaped-up

That  tell  of  a  soul  gone 

While  the  rest  lies  underneath. 
It  Is  only  the  grave  of  a  little  child ;

A  spot  over  which  the  winds

But  I,  who  stood  in  thlB  very  place, 

One  sultry  summer's  day, 
Beheld  a  mother,  with  whitened  face 

Bend  down  till  she  clasped  the  tiny  shell, 

With  all  its  polish 
Close  up 

Her  marble  arms  between. 

Where  peace  and  plenty  abounds, 
But  the  light  went  out  one  summer's  day, 

From  the  beautiful  house  and  grounds. 
There  were  little  feet  that  puttered  about 

Now  still  in  the  sleep  of  death, 
And  the  walls  that  rang  a  childish  shout

doubts  of  what  she  would  think,  should  Bhe  discover

was  ao  constantly,  arose  in  my  mind.  Yet  still  I 
did  not  speak  of  his  coming  to  her,  withheld  by  a 
feeling  for  which  I  could  scarcely  account  even  to 
myself,  unless  it  was  a  vague  desire  to  let  events 
take  their  chance  without  my  intervention.  But 
Frank  must  be  prepared,  I  knew  that,  and  whether 
to  do  it  by  letter,  or  wait  for  his  arrival  I  was 
puzzled  to  decide. 

I  waa  thinking  over  the  matter,  and  trying  to 
mako  up  my  miud,  late  one  night,  after  we 
had  retired  to  bed,  and  my  mother  was  already  in 
a  sound  aleep  at  my  aide,  when  I  neard  a  strange 
bustle  in  the  usually  quiet  house,  end  presently 
footsteps  approached  along  the  corridor,  and  a 
■■i.-  ik'  tap  was  heard  at  my  door.  I  immediately 
jumped  up,  and  throwing  on  a  wrapper,  opened  it, 
almost  expecting  to  see  my  brother's  face,  but  it 

"Miss  Kate,"  she  said,  hurriedly,  but  in  a  low 
tone,  "  a  fire  has  broken  out  in  the  kitchen,  and 
Mr.  Monro  said  that  all  the  boarders  had  better  be 
called,  although  he  says  the  danger  ia  not  very

to  arouse  my  mother,  and  explain  to  her

it  the  fire  had  been  totally  extinguished, 

we  might  retire  to  our  rooms,  feeling 

perfectly  safe. 

Quickly  gathering  up  the  remaining  letters,  I 

istened  to  the  parlor,  to  inform  my  mother  of  the

The  moon  shivered  out  again  for  an  instant,  and

When  they  were  sitting  over  the  fire  again,  Mr.

"Now,  tell  me  everything  that  has  happened; 
our  letters  were  all  so  vague."

"  Has  Elsie  changed  ?"  he  asked. 

"Not  at  all ;  gay  and  thoughtless  as  ever."

"  Aud  I  promise,  Elizabeth,  I  will  never  be  sun-

Elizabeth  nestled  closer  to  his  heart,  and  a 
feeling  of  rest  and  serenity  stole  over  her  so  inex- 
pressibly soothing  and  sweet,  that  she  almost 
longed  to  float  away  for  ever  from  the  care  and

There  was  a  sound  without  which  startled  them

only  the  reflection  of  her  purple  draperies,  and  her 
lips  had  forced  themselves  into  a  smile. 

"There  is  Bessie,"  cried  Elsie,  coining  up  the 
lawn,  leaning  on  her  brother's  arm,  holding  his

While  they  were  still  seated  at  the  luncheon 
tible  the  door  opened,  and  'Dolph  came  in  with 
flourish  of  bows  to  report  his  return  to  his  mustei 

"So,  there  you  are,  'Dolph  "  said  Mr.  Meller 
carelessly.  "Did  you  lose  half  the  letters  I  gav

'Dolph  drew  himself  up  with  a  great  deal  c

in  this  way  !  Just  as  one  is  getting  a  little  com-

Elizabeth  did  not  reply.  She  looked  at  her  again 
with  that  mingled  expression  of  astonishment  and 
fear ;  now  a  strange  sort  of  pity  softened  the  glance.

Ehie  laughed  unrestrainedly,  but  'Dolph  only 
took  that  as  a  compliment,  and  was  immensely 
satisfied  with  the  impression  he  had  produced. 

"  Don't  get  up  another  flirtation  with  the  cook," 
she  said;  "she  is  old  enough  to  be  your  mother, 
but  she's  rich— think  of  that,  'Dolph." 

"Dolph  bowed  himself  out  of  the  room  with  much 
ceremony,  as  he  had  entered  it,  and  took  his  way 
straight  towards  the  lower  regions.  His  brain  had 
already  formed  numerous  projects  on  the  strength  of 
Clorinda's  wealth,  and  he  felt  it  incumbent  upon 


this  elderly  heiress. 

He  came  upon  her  in  the  kitchen  hall ;  she  ws 
carrying  a  dishpan  in  her  hand,  walked  upright  a 
a  ramrod,  and  looked  forbidding  as  if  she  had  bee 
the  eldest  daughter  of  Erebus. 

"Dat's  de  time  o'  day,"  thought  'Dolph;  "eh

quaintance." 

He  followed  this  up  with  an 
bow,  and  Clorinda  thought  it  quite  time  that  she 
should  make  a  show  of  her  breeding  likewise.  She 
gave  her  body  a  bend  and  a  duck,  but  unfortunately 
'Dolph  was  ducking  at  the  same  moment  and  their 
heads  met  with  a  loud  concussion. 

There  was  a  giggle  from  the  kitchen  door— there 
stood  "Victoria,  the  chambermaid,  now  a  spruce 
mulatto  of  eighteen,  enjoying  Clorinda's  dis- 
comfiture. 

"De  fault  was  mine,"  cried  'Dolph,  in  his  gal- 
lantry; "all  mine," 

"  Any  how  yer  needn't  stand  dar  a  grinning  like 
a  monkey,  Vic,"  exclaimed  Clorinda,  in  wrath. 

"Accidents  will  recur,"  said  'Dolph.  "But,

They  were  coming  upstairs.  He  heard  the 
heavy  blundering  footsteps  of  two  men,  and  knew 
what  they  were  after.  Creeping  softly  to  the  door 
he  drew  the  bolt  back  with  intense  caution,  and 
stealing  into  the  little  chamber  fell  upon  the 
floor,  and  held  his  breath  listening. 

He  heard  the  coffin-lid  closed ;  the  Blow  turning 
of  the  screws;  a  Budden  jar,  and  then  the  foot- 
steps again,  broken  and  disturbed  by  the  mournful 
burden  those  two  men  carried.  Then  all  was  still 
for  a  moment,  and  up  through  the  passage, 
vibrating  like  electricity  through  that  evil  soul, 
came  the  sound  of  a  clear,  solemn  voice, 
reading  the  burial  service. 

Still  he  listened,  with  his  head  lifted  from  the 


worn-out  gladiator.  A  sort  of  terror  had  seized 
upon  him  with  the  sweet  low  sound  of  that  voice. 
Great  drops  gathered  upon  his  forehead  and  grew 
cold  there.  He  was  like  an  evil  spirit  looking 
through  the  gates  of  Paradise.  Then  came  another 
pause,  followed  by  the  slow  roll  of  wheels  and  the 
tramp  of  horses.  North  leaped  to  hi3  feet,  and 
threw  up  the  window.  A  hearse  was  moving 
heavily  down  the  Btreet,  and  close  behind  it  rode

Publisher  of  Frank  Leslie's  Illtjs- 
i  pAi'i  k  invites  his  presets  contributors  and 
o  send  in  before  May  1st  stories  and  poems 


Our  New  Volume. 

The  present  number  commences  the  18th 
Volume  of  Frank  Leslie's  Illustrated 
Newspaper,  the  leading  journal  of  its  kind 
in  the  world,  no  other,  here  or  in  Europe, 

having  ever  approached  us  in  the  number  of 
our  Special  Artists,  or  the  widespread  and 
active  efforts  made  to  give  the  contempora- 
neous history  of  the  world  in  graphic  and  life- 
like illustrations.  Endorsements  of  these 
from  every  source  pour  in  upon  us,  in  every 

datiou  from  us  on  a  point  in  which  their  ever 
increasing  patronage  shows  their  conviction. 

Our  illustrations  are  a  complete  history  of 
the  great  Civil  War,  and  of  the  events  of  the 
day  at  home  and  abroad. 

Frank  Leslie's  Illustrated  Paper  is 
moreover  an  admirable  Family  Paper,  with 
brilliant  and  original  works  of  Action,  poetry, 
foreign  intelligence,  domestic  news,  includ- 
ing the  amusements  of  the  day  and  other  in- 
teresting reading  matter.  Our  illustrated 
and  other  stories,  by  some  of  the  most  talented 
writers  in  the  country,  are  especially  fitted 
for  family  reading,  being  of  a  high  and  ele- 
vated character,  and  of  acknowledged  beauty, 
grace  and  power. 

The  Volume  will  conclude  Mrs.  Stephens's 
admirable  novel,  "  The  Gulf  Between  Them," 
to  be  followed  by  a  work  of  extraordinary 
power  and  interest. 


Summary  of  the  Week. 

The  gallant  young  Col.  TJlric  Dahlgren,  re- 
ports of  whose  safety  at  first  reached  us,  was 
really  killed  while  cutting  his  way  through 
the  enemy.  The  rebels,  with  that  brutality 
in  the  treatment  of  the  dead  which  makes  the 
stories  of  ghouls  credible,  stripped  his  body, 
mangled  it,  and,  to  use  their  own  expression, 
gave  it  the  burial  of  a  dog. 

The  miscarriage  of  the  expedition  is  due 
entirely  to  the  War  Department,  which  neg- 
lected to  furnish  capable  guides,  or  to  con- 
cert with  Gen.  Butler,  so  that  he  might  move 
simultaneously. 

Our  forces  took  possession  of  Suffolk 
the   10th,  after  a  short   skirmish   with  the 


Lieut.- Col.  Root, 


A  skirmish  is  said  to  have  taken  place  near 
S nickers ville,  Loudon  county,  in  which  seve- 
ral of  the  21st  New  York  cavalry  were  killed. 


Davis  is  tilling  the  State  with  troops  to 
overawe  the  Convention  and  keep  North 
Carolina  in  the  Confederacy.  Twenty-three 
North  Carolina  Union  soldiers  were  hung  in 
Kinston  on  the  6th  inst.  by  the  rebels,  and 
the  event  created  a  serious  riot,  which  it  took 
a  considerable  armed  force  to  put  down.  The 
indignation  of  the  loyal  people  was  violently 
manifested,  and  the  Stars  and  Stripes  were 
conspicuously  displayed  on  the  occasion. 
Poor  North  Carolina  has  thus  the  luxury  of 
being  ground  down  by  Virginians  and  South 
Carolina  cavaliers. 

ALABAMA. 

Farragut  was  continuing,  Feb.  25,  the  bom- 
bardment of  Fort  Grant  or  Powell  with  the 
ships  Calhoun,  Jackson,  Octarora  and  Sebago. 
He  has  not  yet  attacked  Forts  Gaines  and 
Morgan.  Even  when  he  has  subdued  Fort 
Powell  he  will  have  30  miles  to  proceed  be- 
fore he  can  arrive  at  Mobile,  nine  of  which 
are  through  a  narrow  channel,  with  its  banks 
fortified  the  whole  distance.  Obstructions 
are  again  placed  entirely  across  the  channel 
three  miles  from  the  city,  in  such  a  way  that 
vessels  are  compelled  to  pass  under  the  guns 
of  two  ironclad  forts  and  a  battery  from  the 

FLORIDA. 

Gen.  Seymour  was,  on  the  2d,  in  a  fortified 
position  eight  miles  from  Jacksonville,  await- 
ing a  rebel  attack.  The  rebels  refused  to  ex- 
change the  wounded  soldiers.  Gen.Finne- 
gan  is  encamped  between  Ten  Mile  run  and 
Baldwin.  The  rebel  army  is  meanwhile 
gathering  and  driving  ofl'oattle. 


Our  authentic  reports  from  Grant's  depart- 
ment show  that  Sherman's  expedition  pene- 
trated 35  miles  beyond  Meridian,  destroying 
all  the  railroads  in  the  vicinity,  32  locomo- 
tives and  a  large  number  of  cars.  There  was 
no  more  fighting  after  leasiftg  £*u*ton,  where 
Wirt  Adams's  rebel  cavalry  *■*»  .^countered. 
Gen.  Sherman's  loss  in  killed,  TT*tw»ded  and 
missing  is  500.  A  large  number  of  planta- 
tions were  destroyed.

tion to  Hardy  and  Pendleton  counties,  where 
they  destroyed  eflectually  all  the  saltpetre 

of  the  department  of  West  Virginia,  and  has 
fixed  his  headquarters  at  Cumberland.  Gen. 
Averill  captured  two  spies  who  were  endea- 
voring to  pass  southward  through  Ms  lines. 


The  rebels  are  pressing  our  lines 
Chattanooga,  and  our  advance  has  been 
drawn  from  Tunnel  hill  to  Ringgold.  It 
ported  that  the  rebel  furnaces 
have  stripped  running  for  want  of  coal.  Our 
advance  in  East  Tennessee  is  at  Morristown, 
while  on  the  5th  Longstreet  was  still  re- 
ported as  holding  Bull's  gap,  with  his  head- 
quarters at  Greenville.  Gen.  Schofleld  has 
returned  to  Knoxville.  The  Federal  forces 
were  at  Morristown,  42  miles  from  Knox- 
ville. The  rebels  were  at  Greenville,  about 
74  miles  from  Knoxville.  The  rebel  cavalry 
were  at  Bull's  gap,  56  miles  from  Knoxville. 
There  is  a  tremendous  rise  in  the  Tennessee 
river.  The  pontoon  bridge  was  carried  away 
at  Chattanooga. 

Sixty  rebels  were  captured  at  Chikawee 
mountain  by  the  4th  Indiana  cavalry,  and  the 
enemy  were  repulsed  in  an  attempt  to  dash 
into  our  lines  at  Mossy  creek  on  the  6th. 

On  the  5th  a  large  force  of  rebel  cavalry 
attacked  a  detachment  of  the  3d  Tennessee 
at  Panther  springs,  but  met  with  a  loss  of  30 
killed  and  wounded.  Our  loss,  two  killed, 
eight  wounded  and  22  missing. 

Our  position  at  Chattanooga  is  consider- 
ably in  advance  of  the  one  held  during  the 
winter.  Gen.  Palmer's  line,  embracing  the 
Chicamauga  battlefield,  Ringgold,  Taylor's 
and  White  Oak  ridges  to  Cleveland  gap,  is 
already  fortified.  The  rebels  are  said  to  be 
29,000  strong  at  Dalton  and  Tunnel  hill. 

On  Saturday,  March  5,  a  rebel  party  under 
Lieuts.  Maxwell  and  Fitzhugh  of  the  Confed- 
erate navy  captured  the  tug  Iolas,  inthfe  em- 
ploy of  Government  as  a  dispatch-boat,  and 
the  sidewheel  steamer  Titan,  loaded  with 
commissary  stores,  both  lying  in  Cherry- 
stone inlet,  Chesapeake  bay.  The  rebels 
destroyed  the  telegraph  station  and  the  sub- 
marine cable. 

{  The  English  Government  has  ordered  the 
release  of  the  pirate  Tuscaloosa  at  thel Cape 
of  Good  Hope ;  and  the  English  Judges  in 
the  Provinces  release  the  pirates  of  the 
Chesapeake.  The  grounds  of  the  la-tljer  de- 
cision are  curious.  1.  The  Government  of 
the  United  States  has  not 
pirates;  2.  She  would' have  no  right  to  them 
if  she  did;  3.  They  have  not  been  inOicted

Something  tangible  or  intangible,  something  to  love 
in  form  or  in  the  ideal,  is  ever  left  as  a  gleam  of 
light  to  cheer  the  sorrowing  heart,  even  as  a  single 
star  ib  seen  shining  in  the  thick  darkness  as  a  lamp 
to  make  visible  the  surrounding  gloom. 

The  young  wife  became  a  mother,  and  that  new 
bom  life  brought  with  it  a  dawning  hope— Albert 
Bruno  would  love  his  child— the  boy  who  was  to

Many  such  appeals,  tender  and  pathetic,  had 
been  made  and  rejected  before;  but  the  poor  wife 
thought  the  time  had  now  come  when  no  other 
alternative  offered,  and  he  would  be  forced  to  lis- 
ten and  comply.  Vain  hope  !  idle  dream !  When 
is  it  bo  dark  with  evil  that  it  cannot  be  darker,  for 
its  tendency  is  ever  downward  into  a  deeper  gulf! 

"Never!"  replied  the  besotted  man,  "and  not 
a  step  shall  you  take  in  that  direction ;  you  vowed 
to  share  my  fortunes  for  better  or  worse,  and  I 
claim  the  fulfilment  of  that  tow.  The  child  is 
mine,  and  with  me  it  shall  stay!" 

"And  have  I  not  fulfilled  my  promise?"  she 
asked.  "  "What  do  I  offer  you  but  aid  in  a  desper-

Away  for  evei  in  the  wintry  blast, 
Which  oft  returns  their  boughs  to  revel  through-

Touched  by  the  grim  solemnity  of  night— 
Starless  and  chill,  with  just  enough  of  light 
To  see  the  branches  toss,  like  guilty  things, 
Their  arms  above  us— for  awhile  we  reat

no  lamp  opposed  its  rude  glare  to  the  mild  moon-

Summary  of  the  Week. 

WASHINGTON. 

The  President,  by  an  order  of  March  10t 
appoints  Gen.  Grant  to  the  command  of 
the  armies  of  the  United  States;  and  by 
another  order  retires  Major-Gen.  Halleck, 
with  thanks. 

The  President  calls  also  for  200,000  men, 
to  be  raised  before  April  15th,  or  then 
drafted. 


On  the  11th  a  detachment  of  100  men  from 
Gen.  Custer's  cavalry  command  started  on  a 
scout  towards  Blair  mountain,  in  Madison 
county,  Va.,- which  is  a  well-known  rebel 
guerilla  resort.  Some  time  during  the  night 
they  made  a  dash  into  a  guerilla  camp  on 
the  stream  known  as  Conway  river,  just 
west  of  the  above-named  mountain,  and 
drove  about  50  of  the  guerillas  across  the 
river,  and  captured  20  others,  in-ellier  ,\  it li 
their  horses,  before  they  could  get  away. 
They  also  captured  10  negroes  and  brought 
them  in.  The  command  returned  to  their 
camp  yesterday   morning    In    good    order, 

injured. 

In  the  recent  attack  upon  Suffolk  the  2d 
colored  cavalry,  under  Col.  Cole,  behaved 
with  great  bravery  in  a  light  of  an  hour's 


changed  except  upon  the  principle  of  man 
for  man,  and  that,  too,  without  regard  to 

The  army  of  the  Potomac  on  the  18th  was 
preparing  for  an  advance  of  the  enemy. 

On  the  19th  a  detachment  of  Gilmore's 
rebels  made  a  raid  into  Bath,  Morgan 
count}',  and  carried  off  Hon.  Mr.  Bechtel,  of 
the  W.  V.  Senate,  and  Hon.  Mr.  Wheat,  of 
"W.  V".  House  of  Delegates.  The  guerillas 
were  pursued  by  cavalry,  and  some  of  them 
captured. 


Guerillas  attacked  a  freight  train  from 
Nashville,  near  Estell  springs,  on  the  night 
of  the  10th  inst.,  after  displacing  a  rail,  by 
which  the  train  was  throw  off  the  track. 
The  train  was  burned. 

Capt.  Beardsley,  of  the  123d  New  York, 
and  seven  men,  arrived  at  Decherd,  Term., 
on  a  handcar,,  having  been  paroled,  after 
being  stripped  of  their  clothing,  money, 
watches  and  jewellery.  The  rebels  killed 
three  of  the  negroes  on  the  train.  Two  of 
the  guerillas  were   killed.     There  were  no 

By  the  new  arrangement  Major-Gen.  W.  T. 
Sherman  is  to  command  the  department  of 
the  Mississippi,  which  is  to  embrace  the 
departments  of  Ohio,  Cumberland,  Tennes- 
see and  Arkansas.  Major-Gen.  McPherson 
is  placed  in  command  of  the  army  of  the 

On  the  19th  the  enemy 
force  in  our  front,  but  no 
visible. 


Gen.  Price  had  resumed  command  in  this 
State,  and  addresses  his  army  hopefully. 

LOUISIANA. 

Admiral  Porter,  with  the  gunboats 
Ouicheta,  Osage,  Conestoga,  Lexington, 
Fort  Hinman  and  Crockett,  ran  up  Red 
river  a  few  days  since,  and  opened  on 
Trinity.  The  Osage  passed  the  fort,  but  the 
Hinman  was  disabled.  The  Ouicheta  then 
silenced  the  fort.  The  enemy  were  driven 
from  Harrisonburg  and  the  place  burned. 
The  Conestoga  was  run  Into  by  the  Gen. 
Price  on  the  10th  and  sunk.  The  fleet  is  to 
co-operate  with  Gen.  Hurlbut  in  an  advance 
on  Shreveport,  which  Gen.  Steele  will  also 
attack  from  Arkansas. 

The  rebels  have  reappeared  at  Lake  Pro- 
vidence and  are  committing  ,  shocking 
barbarities  on  the  negroes. 


A  portion  of  the  marine  brigade,  under 
Capt.  Crandell,  recently  surprised  a  rebel 
camp  east  of  Port  Gibson,  Miss.,  capturing 
47  prisoners  and  releasing  five  Union 
soldiers  taken  at  the  Big  Black. 


Gen.  Peck  thus  sums  up  the  result  of 
:cent  operations  in  North  Carolina :  "  Be- 
sides the  repulse  of  Gen.  Picket's  army  at 
Newberne,  the  following  have  been  cap- 
tured: 6  officers,  281  prisoners  and  dan- 
gerous rebels,  500  contrabands,  250  arms 
aad  accoutrements,  138  horses  and  mules, 
11  bales  of  cotton,  1  piece  of  artillery, 
caisson  complete,  1  flag,  many  saddles, 
harnesses  and  wagons.  Much  property  of 
the  rebel  government  has  been  destroyed 
from  inability  to  remove  it,  as  appears  by  a 
partial  list:  250,000  pounds  of  pork,  80  bar- 
rels of  laird,  75  barrels  of  meat,  20,000 
bushels  of  corn,  32  barrels  of  beef,  5  hogs- 
heads of  sugar,  5,000  empty  sacks,  1  corn- 
mill,  10  wagons,  1  ton  of  tobacco,  18  mules, 
2  warehouses  of  salt,  and 
manufactories." 


The  Navy  Department  has  received 
official  information  of  the  following  cap- 
tures :  On  Feb.  25  the  U.  S.  bark  Roebuck 
captured  in  Indian  river;  abreast  of  Fort 
Capron,  the  British  sloop  boat  Two  Bro- 
thers, from  Nassau,  bound  to  Dixie  and 
laden  with  four  bags  of  salt,  one  keg  of 
liquor,  four  boxes  of  goods  and  one  keg  of 
nails.  On  the  27th  the  Roebuck  captured,  at 
the  same  place,  the  British  sloop  Nina,  from 
Nassau,   bound  to  Sand  Point,   laden  with 


liquors,  coffee  and  boxes  of  goods.  On  the 
29th  the  same  vessel  captured  the  schooner 
Rebel,  with  a  cargo  consisting  of  salt,  liquor, 
cotton,  &c.  On  March  1  the  Roebuck  also 
captured  the  British  schooner  Lauretta, 
laden  with  52  bags  of  salt,  two  miles  from 
the  entrance  of  Indian  river.  These  prizes 
were  all  sent  to  Key  West  for  adjudication.

A    SONG    FOR   THE    LOYAL. 


Beloved  Columbia,  peerless  one, 

Through  glory's  gates  exulting  enter! 
For  thon  art  Freedom's  morning  sun, 

Of  ajl  her  stars  the  shining  centre. 
The  King  of  kings,  whom  worlds  revere, 

Bent  down  and  from  the  darkness  won  th. 
Placed  thee  in  thine  effulgent  sphere, 

And  set  his  radiant  seal  upon  thee. 
Ah,  well  we  know  Jehovah's  love, 

When  all  European  flowers  did  wither, 
Bade  the  swift  breezes  westward  move, 

To  waft  the  seed  of  Freedom  hither. 
Wild  roared  the  blast ;  the  hardy  germ 

By  secret  dews  of  eve  was  nourished : 
Soft  sang  the  wind ;  erect  and  firm, 

It  rose  and  by  the  waters  flourished. 


It  bloomed— the  brightest  rose  of  time ; 

And  on  our  hearts  we  wear  the  flower. 
With  loyal  blood  iu  every  vein, 

In  spirit  free,  though  bond  in  letter, 
We  clasp  our  golden  Union  chain, 

And  bless  the  Power  that  forged  the  fetter 

Queen  of  the  seas ;  when,  o'er  the  flood, 
Came  armies,  mad  with  thirst  for  slaughter, 

Upon  thy  hill?  our  fathers'  blood, 
,,     For  love  of  thee,  ran  down  like  water.     ,  j 

And  when  the  blatant  cannon  stormed, 
By  Treason's  dastard  hand  directed, 

At  once  thy.  patriot  legions  swarmed, 
An. I  i-vrry  M renin  ila-ir  swords  reflected. 

Live  on,  unshamed  and  unenslaved, 

When  all  that  seek  thy  hurt  have  perished 
By  Freemen  won,  by  Freemen  saved, 

And  by  the  God  of  Freemen  cherished. 
,  Heaven's  crystal  gates,  thou  peerless  one, 

Uplift  their  heads  to  bid  thee  enter ; 
For  thou  art  Freedom's  morning  sun, 

And  all  her  stars  around  thee  centre.

Came  nightfall  of  that  same  day,  I  galloped  ale 
across  the  heath,  leaping  the  stream,  and  away 
to  the  Farther  CopBe.  Whistling  my  lithe  gr; 
hound  to  follow,  I  scented  the  air  and  fed  on  i 
moonlittht  as  youthful  maiden  can.  Lightso 
and  free,  my  breathing  was  elixir  and  my  mot 
elasticity.  Feeling  thus  the  bounding  play 
muscle,  drinking  thus  the  winey  flow  of  youthful 
life,  I  rode  on,  nor  stopped  till  I  drew  rein  b; 
fallen  horse  and  rider.    Pushing  back  my  droop: 

the  prostrate  horseman  was  inanimate  and  fastei 
down  by  his  Bteed.  Swiftly  my  gaiety  flowed  back 
in  heayy  tides  that  slackened  my  pulae's  beating. 
While  I  drew  my  skirt  from  the  pommel,  my  gray- 
hound  came  up  and  sniffed,  with  dainty  nose,  the 
stranger's  face  and  hands.  I  see  him  now  as  plainly 
as  then ;  one  forepaw  lifted,  as  though  the  aristo- 
cratic creature  feared  contamination  by  something 
plebeian.    I  remember  I  spoke  sharply  to  him  as  I 

stood  treading  and  pulling  on^my  long  skirt  as  I

down  on  my  twentieth  year,  and  that  never  lifted 
to  the  perfect  sweetness  ol  light  again.  In  the 
poplar -lined  carriage  drive  we  met  my  father.  I 
knew  he  was  watching  and  coming,  for  he  always 
met  me  when  I  came  back  from  the  headlong, 
palpitating  rides  that  I  almost  daily  went  through.

j  dim  mfrror,  when  my  sister  came  up  behind 
!.    Her  face  was  aglow  and  her  eyes  alight. 
'What  is  it?"  I  asked.

I  remembered  the  stagnant  pool  close  by  in  the

She  laughed  again. 

"  A  fitting  companion  for  your  Cupid  here.  We 
maynow  have  love  both  in  flesh  and  marble."  She 
played  with  the  roses  about  my  statue. 

"  You  may  stop  your  talk,  Hester !"  I  burst  out. 
"  If  I  cannot  help  a  poor  man  because  he  is  young 
and  handsome,  then  I  should  belie  my  father's 
name;  he  who  was  ever  hospitable.  I  know 
nothing  what  you  mean." 

I  looked  fiercely  at  her,  and  swallowed  down  my 
tenrs,  though  it  was  hard- to  keep  the  vexing  drops 
from  flowing.

Mellow  and  faint  the  lamplight  falls 
Across  the  pillows  of  misty  lace, 

And,  cleaving  the  curtain's  snow-whit''   told, 

Lazily  droop  111'-  tussels  of  gold 
Over  Maud's  sleeping  face. 

Here  Is  a  ruby,  as  red  as  blood, 

Flung  from  her  tresses  an  hour  ago ; 
And  her  lilies  crushed  on  the  tufted  floor, 
With  the  spice  of  the  tropics  running-o'er 

Their  beautiful  cups  of  snow. 
Hist!  and  the  ballroom  odors  fall 

From  her  satins  there  in  still  repose ; 
And  the  slumberous  air  is  haunted  yet 
By  a  tender  scent  of  mignonette 

And  the  musk  of  a  dying  rose. 
The  wind  goes  sobbing  across  the  pane, 

The  dead  vines  rattle  upon  the  wall ; 
Do  you  hear  it,  as  you  lie  here,  sweet, 
Stilly  and  white  from  head  to  feet, 

Dreaming  about  the  ball  ? 

Oh,  the  grand  saloon,  wi  Hi  ilslli"U.s:indli::liti, 
The  sweeping  of  silk  through  the   open 

And  the  dancers'  feet,  as  tney  flashed  along, 
Tinkling  to  measures  of  mystic  song, 
Over  the  marble  floors. 

That  subtle  perfume  of  gorgeous  flowers, 
Stirring  the  warm  air,  faint  and  slow; 

And  the  lustres  that  burned    through  the 
purple  dusk 

Of  the  dim  recesses,  o'errnu  with  musk 
From  the  Indian  urns  below. 

The  soft,  clear  call  of  the  dreamy  lutes, 

And  oh,  a  voice  that  was  sweeter  still ! 
Filling  her  ear,  and  the  face  bent  near, 
With  the  tropical  dark  of  the  eyes  so  dear, 
In  a  pause  of  the  gay  quadrille. 


letter,  a  ring,  and  a  leaf  once  hid 
Twixt  the  leaves  of  an  old  romance :  they 
lay 

There  on  the  sill,  pretty  trifles  and  vain, 
h,  the  hungry  pain,  oh,  the  passionate  pain, 
That  could  not  be  danced  away  I 
ush !    The  haggard  stars  are  plunging  deep 
In  the  watery  clouds,  an 
nd  the  wizard  sleet  is  stabbing  the  night 

Through  and  through,  with  its  spears  s( 

in  the  dismal  town. 


Let  those  weep  who  have  need  of  tears, 

The  happy  may  rest,  ftp  the  world  is  wise ; 
But,  beautiful  Maud,  whei       -  ... 

Take  heed  that  you  see  no  ghost  of  this 
the  dark  of  your  lover's  eyes  ! 


And  the  bold  lips,  redder  than  Southern  wine, 

Dropping  their  lovewords  downlikepearls ; 

And  the  beautiful  shame,  the  sweet  surprise, 

In  the  glow  of  her  cheek,  in  the  dusk  of  her 

Through  her  falls  of  yellow  curls. 

Oh,  what  a  night  of  nights  for  you, 
Dainty  Maud,  'mid  the  laces  fine  1 
Sleep,  and  dream  of  that  splendid  room, 
And  life  kissed  into  its  Maytime  bloom 
By  the  lips  like  Southern  wine ! 

Sleep,  and  dream  of  that  splendid  room, 
Not  of  this  dark,  or  its  cold,  sad  tears ; 
For  an  hour  ago  you  won,  my  sweet, 
The  crown  of  your  womanhood  all  complete, 
Beneath  those  chandeliers. 

The  curtain  is  down  across  the  way, 

But  a  face  at  the  lattice,  still  and  white, 
Is  looking  abroad  on  the  steady  beat 
Of  wind  and  rain  up  the  lonesome  street : 
She  will  not  sleep  to-night. 

But,  by  the  gold  in  her  half-loosed  hair,        ' 
She  has  danced  at  the  revel,  too,  I  trow, 

She  has  danced  at  the  revel,  and  brought  away 

Lips  so  pallid  they  cannot  pray, 
And  the  wraith  of  a  broken  vow. 

Whatl  a  watcher  here  in  the  dark  and  cold, 

Waiting  so  still  for  the  mild  gray  cas 
To  glow  with  the  dawn  ?    Ah,  Maud,  did  you 


And  did  you  know  how  the  violets  grew 

In  the  meadows  only  the  last,  last  June ; 
And  the  words  they  heard  when  your  lovi

lie  will  claim  your  first  attention,  and  what  will  a 
prosaic  lawyer  care  for  tbese  things  ?" 

They  were  standing  by  the  library  window,  Made- 
line Berford  and  Paul  Revere.    He,  with  his  slight, 


ad  showed  a  lat 

id,  uncalled  into  action 
.iet  life,  still  inspired  al\  her  a< 

this  deep  bay  window, 
shaded  withoutby  graceful  festoons  of  runningvines, 
and  adorned  within  by  one  or  two  pencil  sketches 
by  Madeline'* 

and  gold,  and  alow  chair  for  Madeline,  because  she 
preferred  it  to  the  window  seat  itself.  The  .heavy 
crimson  curtains  that  separated  the  window  from 
the  library  were  swept  aside,  revealing  the  antique 
bookshelves  filled  with  choice  selections,  rare  old 
pictures — for  Mr.  Berford  had  been  something  o  f 


Madeline  and  Gordon  Oil  the  Lake, 


Miss  Berford  was  somewhat  aristocratic  in  her 
tastes  and  prejudices,  and  the  Reveres  were  the 
only  family  in  the  neighborhood  with  whom  she' 
was  at  all  familiar  or  permitted  Madeline  to  be. 
So  Paul  and  his  sister,  now  married  and  living  in  s 
distant  State,  bad  been  almost  her  only  companions. 
They  had  grown  up  together,  played  the  same 


that  Madeline's  education  should  be  conducted  at 
home,  and  Paul  could  never  be  induced  to  leave 
home  long  enough  to  go  to  college.    And  in  this 

disdaining  any  pleasures  the  girls  could  uot  share, 
and  so  their  days  passed  on  in  a  quiet  round  of 
amusements  and  vague  castle-building,  with  many 
thoughts  but  few  deeds  towards  the  higher  purposes 

After  Paul's  Bister  married  and  removed  from 
home,  he  and  Madeline  were  more  inseparable  than 
before,  and  a  day  that  did  not  find  him  at  Berford 
Hall  would  have  been  a  strange  event.  Her  firm- 
nees,  quiet  perseverance  and  calmness  of  character 
always  controlled  his  more  sanguine,  excitable 
nature,  aud  as  she  always  gave  him  the  fullest  sym- 
pathy in  all  his  plans  and  vague  speculations,  he 
had  grown  to  look  up  to  her  with  a  feeling  that 


almost  amounted  to  reverence.

There  were  no  ragged  children  to  begathered  together 
and  taught,  the  free  school  system  had  taken  that 
out  of  her  hands ;  there  were  no  erring  Magdelines, 
no  wretched  outcast  within  her  range  of  knowledge 
whom  she  could  take  by  the  hand  and  bring  up 
from  this  dark  standing  to  the  light  and  air  that

would  willingly  have  endured  all  their  hardships, 
made  just  as  many  sacrifices,  If  she  gave  utter- 
ance to  her  desires,  from  her  aunt  she  received  a 
long  lecture  on  the  sin  of  discontent,  and  Paul 
would  go  off  into  Buch  a  burst  of  enthusiasm  as  to 
the  great  things  they  would  accomplish,  that  his 
very  extravagance  silenced  her  more  effectually  than 
all  the  obstacles  that  could  have  been  placed  before 
her.  And  yet  she  was  very  happy.  How  could  it 
be  otherwise,  surrounded  by  beauty  and  luxury,  all 
that  a  refined  taste  could  demand,  a  loving  heart 
ask,  even  to  that  which  should  be  the  crowning 
blessing  of  a  life— the  entire  love  and  consecration 


were  looking  up  from  tneu*  low  oeas,  ana  me  warm 
wind  breathed  a  pasBion  as  tender  as  the  words  he 
spoke,  Paul  told  her  of  his  love.  He  pictured  Ms 
arid,  desolate  life  if  they  were  separated ;  and  then 
in  glowing  words  told  of  the  great  deeds  he  could 
perform  if  she  would  be  his  inspiration—  of  the 
beautiful  future  he  would  create  if  she  were  by  his 
side,  and  she,  not  at  all  moved  by  his  eloquence, 
but  knowing  no  deeper  sentiment  than  her  affection 
for  him,  never  dreaming  there  could  be  a  more 
powerful  one,  quietly  laid  her  hands  in  his,  and 
said  calmly,

The  guilty  couple  had  gone  into  the  room  next

to  the  young  man's  eyes,  and  he  hurried  from  his 
home,  now  too  painful  for  him  to  endure. 

Chahles  Haverling  felt  a  moment's  relief 
when  he  got  into  the  open  air.  He  took,  from 
habit,  his  usual  track  and  found  himself  in  Broad- 
way, before  he  thought  of  the  direction  in  which  he 
was  going.    The  thronging  prosperi.y  andhappi- 

to  him,  that  overflowed  the  great  thoroughfare, 
filled  him  with  fresh  remorse.  Once  among  the 
happiest  of  the  gay  crowd,  he  now  stalked  through 
it,  like  a  ghost  caught  at  midday.  The  surroun- 
dings seemed  at  once  familiar  and  strange, 
removed  and  near  to  him,  like  old  friends  beheld 
in  a  dreadful  dream.  His  misery  was  mocked  by 
the  brilliant  and  laughing  life^that  overran  the 
street.  He  was  a  general  favorite,  and  in  Bpite  of 
his  attempts  to  hurry  by  his  friends  with  a  bow  or 


shallowest,  insisted  upon  stopping  :

was  taken  up  very  short  now  and  then,  of  course,

She  comes  from  heaven,  and  on  her  wings  doth  bear 
A  holy  fragrance,  like  the  breath  of  prayer ; 
Footsteps  of  angels  follow  in  her  trace, 


That  morning  knows  not  in  the  evening  hour. 
"  Until  the  evening"  we  must  weep  and  toil, 
Plough  life's  stem  furrow,  dig  the  weedy  soil, 
Tread  with  sad  feet  out  rough  and  thorny  way,  ■ 
And  bear  the  heat  and  burden  of  the  day. 
On,  when  our  sun  is  Betting,  may  we  glide, 
Like  summer  evening,  down  the  golden  tide ; 
And  leave  behind  us,  as  we  pass  aw*y, 
Sweet,  Btarry  twilight  round  our  Bleeping  clay.

On  the  17th,  with  a  force  numbering  from  6,000 
to  10,000,  they  made  a  sudden  attack  on  Plymouth. 
The  12th  New  York  cavalry  met  and  drove  back 
the  rebel  horse.  Gen.  Wessels  is  prepared  to  de- 
fend Plymouth  to  the  last. 

Fort  Gray,  two  miles  from  Plymouth,  on  the 
lloanoke,  was  first  attacked,  but  it  was  resolutely 
defended  by  Capt.  Brown,  85th  N.  T.,  and  the

From  Eastern  Kentucky  we  learn  that  the  rebela 
have  been  defeated  in  two  fights  on  the  Licking 
river.  The  rebelB  attacked  the  Union  forces  a 
Paintville  on  the  12th  and  were  repulsed,  after 
which  the  Unionists  pursued  the  enemy,  and  on 
the  14th  surprised  their  camp  at  Half  mountain. 
The  result  of  the  movement  -vas  the  killing  and 
woundinR  of  85  rebela  and  the  capture  of  70  others, 
besides  200  horses,  400  saddles,  300  stand  of  arms,

THE   SOUTH    WIND. 


Oh,  the  light  south  wind! 
It  brought  us  the  odor  of  orange  bowers, 
Of  citron  trees  and  of  all  rare  flowers, 
As  we  sat  by  our  doors  in  summery  hours, 

Did  the  light  south  wind. 


My  father's  patronymic  was  Dimple,  and  I  w. 
the  only  little  Dimple  that  he  and  my  mother  con

Oh,  the  wild  south  wind ! 
It  brought  us  the  murmurs  of  bitterness  first, 
Then  threats  of  the  traitor  (for  ever  accurst) 
And  the  hum  of  a  tempest  Just  ready  to  burst,

Oh,  the  mad  south  wind !

.  Grant,  been  Introduced 
into  the  East,  and  with  such  advantages  for 
aggressive  operations  against  such,  draw- 
backs and  embarrassments  to  tire  enemy,  as 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac  h; 
commanded. 

Through  the  year  1861  tin 
people  of  the  so-called  Southern  Confederacy 
i  the  fruitful 
grain,  cattle  and  swine-pro  due  Ing  States  of 
Virginia,  Tennessee,  Kentucky,  Missouri, 
Arkansas,  Western  Louisiana'  and  Texas. 
1862,  though  dis- 
possessed of  Kentucky  and  Missouri,  West- 
ern Tennessee  and  a  part  of  Louisiana,  their 
lines  of  communication  from  Texas  to  Rich- 
mond were  still  uninterrupted.  But 
the  presen  t  situation  of  their  "  Confederacy  ?" 
With  the  trans -Mississippi  States  completely 
cut  ofl',  it  is  now  practicably  reduced  to 
Southern  Virginia,  North  and  South  Caro- 
lina, Georgia,  Florida,  Alabama  and  Missis- 
sippi, excepting  those  parts  of  each  of  these 
States  occupied  by  the  Union  forces.  This 
restricted  and  beleaguered  Confederacy  by 
land  and  sea,  comprising  some  4,000,000  of 
inhabitants  ( one-half  African  slaves),  is  now 
practically  all  that  is  left  of  a  rebellious  Con- 
federation, originally  comprehending  11,000,- 

The  armies  of  Davis  within  this  di 
empire,  drawn  from 
variously  represented  as  making  a  sti 
of  from  200,000  to  300,000  men— these 
are  now  mainly  subsisted  from  the  last  year's 
Indian  corn  crop  of  Georgia,  Alabama  and 
Mississippi.    And  here  lies  the  iatal  weak- 
ness of  Jeff  Davis  in  undertaking,  against 
all  the  adverse  circumstances  suggested,  still 
to  maintain  the  prestige  of  his,  authority  at 
Richmond.    For  100  miles  around  that  city 
the  country  is  exhausted,  and  North  Carolina 
has  been  so  impoverished  by  Confederate 
foragers  that  the  scanty  supplies  stillheld  by 
her  planters  are  hardly  equal " 
necessities   of   her  destitute   people. 
armies  of  Davis  in  VirgiLia  draw  their 
plies  of  food  mainly  from  Georgia;  anc 
capacities  of  their  two  life-sustaining 
of  rickety  railroads 

most  to  meet  the  necessities  of  Richmond 
and  Gen.  Lee  from  day  to  day. 

Under  such  a  state  of  things  the  elaborate 
entrenchments  which  enclose  the  army  of 
Davis  on  the  Rapidan, .and  the  formidable 
network  of  fb 

capital  are  literally  no  defences 
protection  of 
Rapidan  and  Richmond; 
in  Georgia,  is  the  first 
of  Davis  and  Lee  in  Virginia 
mustering  of  all  their  available  forces  ft 
inevitable  work  of  open  field  fighting 
the  danger  at  Atlanta  " 

army  of  Gen.  Thomas,  at  Chattanooga  is  a 
powerful  army,  and  with  Longstreet  removed 
from  East  Tennessee,  Gen.  Joe  Johnston 
be  strengthened  as  well  as  Gen.  Lee,  o 
evacuation  of  Richmond  may  be 
upon  Davis  by  the  loss  of  Atlanta. 

From  the  relative  situation  of  the  opposing 
forces  in  Virginia ;  from  the  decided  superi- 
ority in  numbers,  equipment  and  efficiency  of 
the  legions  of  Gen.  Grant, 
the  highest  estimates  (90,000  men)  of  the 
my's  strength;  from  the 
will  compel  Gen.  Lee  to  abandon  his  entrench- 
ments, to  protect 
from  every  point  of  view  in  which 
considered  the  subject,  we  are  confirmed  in 
our  opinion  that  in  the  Virginia  campaign  of 
1804  all  themisfortunpsof  '01.  Xrt  and  v,:-;  wiU 
be  repaired,  :nd  that  the  grand  object  of  a 
crushing  blow  to  the  rebellion  will  be  fully 
achieved.    The  wisest  combinations  of  war, 
we  know,  are  frequently  overthrown  by  the 
most  trivial  af.-ckkiuts  or  'inUiafcts  ;  but  still, 
fear  that  our 
foreshadowings  as  a  prophet  will  be  marred 
by  the  facts  of  the  historian.    "We  anticipate 
an  unexampled  and  exulting  celebration  of 
the  coining  4th  of  July.

part  of  apy,  I  wished  to  play  it  well,  and  being 
.idden  to  question  persons,  must  gain  informa- 
i  from  inanimate  things,  if  possible.  Two  cross 
sages  led  from  the  main  hall,  one  to  my  rooma, 
other  to  the  west  wing.  This.of  course,  I  took, 
softly  opening  the  first  door  that  appeared ;  ma- 
apartment,  for  the  gray  silk  dress  and  white 
lay  acroBB  a  ehair,  A  rapid  survey  satisfied 
d  I  passed  to  the  next;  Mr.  Noel's,  though 


"■What  hours  do  you  prefer  to  have  devoted  to 
my  duties,  air  r"  I  asked,  rinding  no  difficulty  in 
uttering  the  respectful  monosyllable,  for  my  six 
and  twenty  years  seemed  to  give  me  no  superiority 
over  this  stripling  not  yet  out  of  Ms  teens,  perhaps. 

"  I  am  in  my  study  early  these  summer  morn- 
ings, finding  an  hour  or  two  then  mere  profitable 
than  later  in  the  day.  Let  us  say  from  eight  to 
four,  or  half  after,  with  a  receBS  at  noon  for  rest 
and  refreshment.    The  garden  and  west  wing  are 


disposal,  unless  you  prefer  to  write.  When  not 
otherwise  engaged,  we  are  usually  in  the  drawing- 
room  after  dinner,  if  you  care  to  join  ua." 


I  expressed  my  satisfaction  at  these  arrange- 
ments, and  wMle  I  spoke  he  watched  me  intently, 
so  intently  that  I  felt  my  color  rising,  a  most  un- 
wonted manifestation,  and  doubly  annoying  just 
then;  for,  conscious  of  my  secret  mission,  a  sense 
of  guilt  haunted  me  wMch  was  anytMng  but  tran- 
quillizing, with  those  searcMng  eyes  full  upon  me, 
:  the  blush  did  me  good  service,  however,  for 
ime  doubt  had  disturbed  his  mind,  my  appa- 


t  and  couch,  and  a  literary  strew  of  books 
MSS,,  ponderous  dictionaries  and  portfolioa.    Tn> 

ahady,  while  the  same  atmoephere  of  refinemen 
and  repose  pervaded  it  that  had  impressed  me  else 
where,  and  which  seemed  rather  some  peeulia 
charm  of  its  possessor  than  the  result  of  taste  o 
time.  Mr.  Noel  bade  me  good-morning  with 
chilly  courtesy,  wMch  would  have  instantly  recalle

so  noiselessly  that  I  soon  forgot  Ms  presence.  The 
instant  Ms  back  was  turned  my  eye  ran  down  the 
page  before  me,  and  what  I  read  confir  ned  my 
fancy  that  Mr.  Noel  was  a  genius.    That  one  sheet 

end  culture  hardly  credible  in  one  bo  young.  The 
book  was  no  romance,  poem,  satire  or  essay,  but  a 
most  remarkable  work  upon  Italian  history  and 
politics.  A  strange  subject  for  a  boy  to  choose, 
and  atill  more  marvellous  was  Mb  treatment  of  it, 
I  was  fairly  Btaggered  as  I  read  en  at  the  learning, 
research  and  eloquence  each  fine  paragraph  dis- 
played. No  wonder  Ms  cheeks  are  colorless,  hi*

As  soon  aa  Guido  reached  the  castle  with  the 
duke  and  lady,  he  immediately  returned  to  the  city,

The  War-The  Beginning  of  the  End. 

The  results  which  have  attended  the  opening 
of  the  grand  campaign  in  Virginia  indicate 
that  our  anticipations  of  last  week  are  in  rapid 
course  of  fulfilment.  East  and  West,  in  Vir- 
ginia and  in  Georgia,  the  armies  and  the  com- 
binations of  Gen.  Grant  are  moving  with  irre- 
sistible force  upon  the  last  remaining  armies 
.mil  strongholds  of  the  rebellion. 

The  defeat  of  Lee  and  the  capture  of  Rich- 
mond, or  the  overthrow  of  Joe  Johnson  and 
the  capture  of  Atlanta,  will  be  fatal  to  Jeff 
Davis  :mil  his  Confederacy.  In  striking  at 
Richmond  we  strike  at  the  head  of  the  rebel 
lion,  and  in  striking    inlu  Aiiuita  we  reach  the 


the  rebellious  States  must  inevitably,  we  think, 
precipitate  the  final  demoralization  of  their 
Confederate  Utopia  and  bring  it  to  a  speedy 
dissolution.  Then-  inflated  financial  bubble 
collapses  at  once,  and  with  the  military  bar- 
riers of  the  James  river  broken  down,  the 
whole  intervening  country  to  Georgia  is  laid 


There  will  be  no  place  of  refuge  for  Davis  and 
his  Cabinet  and  Congress,  where  they  can  feel 
secure  to  the  end  of  the  summer,  and  no  pro- 
tecting line  of  defences  which  cannot  easily 
be  turned.  In  a  word,  ejected  from  Richmond 
andjVirginia,  Davis,  his  governmental  establish- 
ment, his  armies  and  his  exhaust. <)  penile,  nre 
all  thrown  into  confusion  and  are  all  adrift. 
Thus  the  overthrow  of  Lee's  army  and  the  fall

in  the  "West  are  moving  upon  Atlanta,  the  rebel 
capital  itself,  and  the  States  of  Virginia  and 
North  Carolina,  would  in  a  very  short  time  be- 
come untenable  to  the  enemy,  in  being  cut  off 
from  his  supplies  of  subsistence,  which  are 
now  mainly  furnished  from  the  last  year's 
Indian  corn  crops  of  Georgia  and  Alabama 
and  from  the  cattle  of  Florida.  What  possible 
contingency,  then,  can  prevent  the  general

all  the  advantages  of  the  situation  are  with  ub, 
while  the  disadvantages  entailed  upon  the 
enemy  by  three  years  of  exhausted  war  are 
tenfold  greater  than  in  any  previous  campaign. 
The  same  contrast  will  apply  with  equal  force 
to  the  campaign  in  Georgia.  Eiehmond  and 
Atlanta  will  surely  be  gained,  and  with  the  dis- 
persion of  the  rebel  armies  defending  these  two 
vital  points,  the  war  will  be  substantially  at  an 
end.  We  believe  that  the  dying  struggles  of 
the  rebellion  cannot  be  protracted  beyond  the 
month  of  July,  and  we  are  not  without  the 
hope  that  ,they  will  cease,  or  be  reduced  to 
n  petty  and  short-lived  guerilla  warfare,  before 
the  close  of  this  brightly  opening  month  of 
May.  _^_____—

Frank  Leslie's  Artists  in  the  War. 
The  Executive  Committee  of  the  New  York 
Historical  Society,  in  a  recent  Beport,  employ  ex- 
pressions which  are,  so  far  as  Frank  Leslie's 
Illustrated  Newspaper  and  "History  of  the 
War"  are  concerned,  grossly  unjust.  "  It  is  true," 
say  the  gentlemen  of  the  Historical  Society,  "  that 
the  illustrated  newspapers  are  full  of  sketches 
purporting  to  be  pictures  of  important  scenes,  bui 
;  be  testimony  of  parties  engaged  shows  that  these

"  June  9th.— Mrs.  St.  Michael  came,  had  a  brief 
interview  with  Mr.  Noel  on  the  lawn,  which  was 
prudent  but  unsatisfactory  to  me,  for  I  learned 
nothing  from  it.  Saw  no  more  of  him  till  dinner, 
when  he  told  me  he  should  pass  the  evening  out. 
At  eight  he  drove  away,  and  curious  to  know  when 
he  returned,  I  amused  myself  with  a  book  till 
nearly  midnight,  then  wearying  of  it,  put  out  my 
light  and  sat  musing  in  the  dark.  The  night  was 
clondy,  close  and  warm,  and  finding  all  still  I  pre- 
sently went  out  into  the  lane,  wondering  if  Clarice, 
too,  watched  and  waited  for  his  return.  The  win- 
dow was  dark,  hut  just  as  I  turned  from  it  I  was 
alarmed  by  the  sound  of  wheels  close  by.  Ire- 
cognised  the  light  roll  of  the  pony  carriage,  though

was  burning  with  curiosity  to  see  the  woman  for 
whom  he  had  discarded  poor  Clarice,  and  had  no 
scruples  about  gratifying  myself  in  any  way  that

could  not  be  feigned.    With

Mrs.  Noel's  voice  reminds  me  strongly  of  Madame

Smiling  the  smile  thai  makes  his  i'a.-e  so  young 
he  answered,  with  a  mirthful  look  at  the  golden- 
haired,  white-robed  figure  at  the  instrument : 

"  Well  it  may,  for  madame  is  a  near  relation  o

from  behind  a  group  of  larches  i 

I  watched  the  arrival.  Picric  came  smil 
the  door  as  Noel  led  a  lady  up  the  steps.  A  sli 
dainty  little  lady  she  seemed,  but  her  fae 
hidden  by  the  white  veil  which  covered  her  blonde 
mnet,  and  all  I  could  discover  of  her  figure,  under 
flowing  white  burnous,  was  that  it  was  slight  am 
graceful.  She  was  evidently  very  young ;  for  a 
'  flie  house  she  clapped  her  hands  am 

danced  down  the  long  hall,  as  if  overjoyed  to  he  a 
home.    Noel  stood  an  iustant  talking  with  his  ok 
I  caught  a  glimpse  of  Ins  face.  an. 


in  the  garden  wall, 
to  listen,  then  admitted

lifted  window  suggested.    Quite  breathless  with 
interest  I  waited,  and  sooner  than  I  expected  the 
man  reappeared,  not  alone  now,  for  a  slender 
female  figure  clung  to  hiin.    I  could  just  see  the 
..inline  of  their  lignres,  the  white  gleam  of  their 
faces,  but  1  knew  them  at  once  by  the  few  words 
rapidly  exchanged  in  Italian. 
"  How  still  it  is  ;  have  you  no  fear?" 
"I  have  done  with  fear,  Clarice." 
"And  I  with  captivity,  thank  G-od!" 
"  I  Bhall  miss  you  sadly,  dear." 
"Not  for  long,  your  wife  will  comfort  you." 
A  little  laugh  accompanied  the  words,  and  like 
spectres  of  the  shadowy  hour,  house,  carriage,

June  17th.— But  one  thing  has  i 
household  for  the  last  three  days,  and  that  has 
been  the  book.  Such  genuine  interest  and  haste 
cannot  be  feigned,  and  I  must  believe  that  Noel 
spoke  the  truth.  The  study  is  nolongerdesertcd, 
for  not  only  has  he  written  steadily  himself,  but; 
merry  Httle  madame  labors  also,  staining  her  pretty 
fingers  with  ink,  flushing  her  sweet  face  with 
energetic  struggles  to  keep  up  with  our  swifter 
pens,  and  making  the  once  quiet  n  "

Twilight  had  come  on  and  lamps  were  lit.  The 
table  shone  with  damask,  glass  and  silver,  flowers 
glowed  everywhere,  and  the  lustres  filled  the  room 
with  a  festal  breadth  of  light.  But  none  of  these 
things  caught  my  eye  on  entering,  for  standing  in 
the  deep  window  were  Noel  and  his  bride.  His  arm 
was  about  her,  and  leaning  there  as  if  content,  he 
looked  down  at  her  as  she  held  out  an  almost  ehild- 
ishly  lovely  hand,  and  seemed  laughing  blithely  at 
the  wedding-ring  upon  it.  Both  turned  as  I  came 
in,  and,  with  the  color  mounting  to  his  very  fore- 
head, Noel  said :

As  I  waited  their  coming  in  the  dining-room,  afew 
hours  later,  from  the  window  I  saw  Mrs.  St.  Mi- 
chael's servant  come  up  the  avenue  andhand  a  pack- 
et to  Noel,  who  was  loitering  there  while  madame 
dressed.  The  man  went  back.  Noel  read  a  brief 
note,  hastily  unfolded  the  newspaper  which  com- 
posed the  packet,  and  seemed  to  dart  at  once  upon 
Borne  particular  passage.  I  saw  him  stand  mo- 
tionless and  intentamoment,  then  drop  the  paper, 
turn  as  if  to  enter,  and  fall,  face  downwards,  on  the

Darting  out,  I  raised  Mb  head  to  my  knee,  loosen- 
ed his  collar,  and  while  wondering  at  the  Bmile  still 
lingering  on  hiB  pale  lips,  I  snatched  a  glance  at 
the  note,  for  the  paper  was  still  crushed  in  his 
hand.    Only  three  lines : 

"  I  go  at  once  to  London.  Be  prepared  at  all 
times.  Another  week  and  your  long  task  is  over, 
my  brave  child." 

It  was  Mrs.  St.  Michael's  hand.  I  had  seen  it  on 
sundry  notes  of  invitation,  but  whatever  clue  I 
might  have  found  by  searching  the  paper  was  lost, 
for  Noel  opened  his  eyes

Never  had  Noel  s

strength  into  my  hands,  his  confidence  to  warm 
my  heart  with  an  almost  brotherly  affection  for 
jum.  We  did  work,  silently  for  the  most  part, but 
how  rapidly  yon  may  understand  when  I  say  that 
to-night  the  book  is  done.  I  have  just  left  the

June  15th.— The  clue  1b  found,  and  the  mystery 
solved.  Last  night,  being  weary,  I  Blept  unusually 
sound  bnl  woke  smkleuh  sure  that  some  one 
called  me.  The  moon  h;>d  s.ci,  a  light  shower  pat- 
tered on  the  leaves,  and  a  fresh  wind  blew  in. 
While  drowsily  thinking  that  I  must  rise  and  close

T  sprang  to  the  window,  strained  eye  and  ear, 
raited  and  wondered  for  nearly  an  hour,  but  no 
lound  reached  me,  and  I  reluctantly  compelled 
nyBelf  to  think  it  all  a  delusion,  for  these  names 
Had  been  sounding  through  my  dreams. 

This  morning  I  stepped  out  upon  the  terrace 
jarly,  as  I  often  do,  but  took  only  a  single  step,  for 
there  in  the  black  mould  under  my  closed  windows 
were  footprints  not  my  own.  Peculiar  footprints 
were  they ;  one  large,  but  shapely,  the  other 
smaller,  and  evidently  made  by  a  foot  deformed  in 
some  way.  Long  I  looked  at  them,  but  could  find 
no  solution  of  the  matter,  so  strolled  on  looking 
for  more.  None  appeared,  and  I  was  just  turning 
back  to  ring  for  breakfast,  when  Mrs.  Noel  came 
flying  down  the  hall,  her  hair  loose  upon  her 
shoulders,  her  muslin  wrapper  half  on,  and  terror 


very  bracelet  that  had  Hashed 
upon  Clarice's  but  a  httle  while  ago.  Noel  eyed 
me  narrowly,  but  I  believe  my  face  was  impene- 
trable, atf  I  uttered  my  congratulations  after  the 
surprise  of  that  first  glimpse  had  passed. 

Half  shily,  half  daringly,  Mrs.  Noel  glauced  a 
me,  and  as  I  paused  she  drew  her  h 
table  like  au  impatient  child. 


"Mr.  Clyde,  a

He  so  evidently  expected  me  to  be  surprised  that 
I  instantly  feigned  what  I  should  yesterday  have 
really  felt.    Stopping  in  my  walk,  I  exclaimed : 


"  You  look  eighteen,  your  book  says  forty,

quietly  as  it  had  opened  the  door 
closed,  and  the  Bteps  withdrew. 

North,  I  am  your  spy  no  longer,  and  the 
record  which  I  now  diBpatch  is  the  last  you  will 
ever  receive  from  me,  for  I  break  the  compact 
and  relinquish  the  reward  your  offer. 

Those  last  words  were  written  in  the  hush  of 
dawn  on  that  morning  after  the  discovery,  for  I  was 
eager  to  be  done  with  my  now  insupportable  task, 
and  as  Monica  had  Baid  that  her  father  was  past  all 
danger,  I  feared  no  harm  would  follow  the  delivery 
of  that  final  record.  I  had  waited  impatiently  for 
the  first  ray  of  bght  that  I  might  make  it,  and 
when  it  was  written  paused  for  the  page  to  dry. 
That  pause  was  fatal,  for  worn  out  with  a  sleep- 
less night  and  the  excitement  of  the  preceding

confessed  in  its  closing  lines,  and  on 
note,  a  slip  of  paper,  all  three  stabbed  through 
by  the  tiny  dagger  that  pinned  them  t 
place.  I  knew  the  dagger,  had  seen  it  on  B 
study-table,  and  admired  its  dainty  wc 
ship ;  I  knew  the  sharp  Italian  writing 
paper,  for  I  had  seen  it  day  after  day ;  I  knew 
whose  eyes  had  read 
stabbed  the  treacherous  sheet,  whose  contempt 
had  Bpared  me  for  a  remorse  sharper  than  any 
pang  of  death.    The  slip  held  these  wordB  : 

"  We  are  gone  for  ever,  leaving  despair  for  the 
lover,  wages  for  the  tool,  a  friend  for  the  traitor.' 

How  long  I  sat  there  I  cannot  tell-  The  sun 
came  up,  the  world  woke,  and  life  went  on  about 
me,  but  mine  seemed  to  have  ended.

another  change  occurred  in  my  feelings  at  the

comparisons  which  I  drew  between  city  and  rural 
life  the  latter  was  sure  to  suffer. 

And  the  memory  of  Minnie  Grey— that,  too, 
suffered  by  the  change.  True,  our  correspondence

Another  year  went  by,  and  one  day  I  received  a 
letter  from  my  old  home,  telling  me  of  tho  serious 
illness  of  Minnie,  and  requesting  me,  if  possible,  to 
visit  her.  I  felt  sorry  that  she  uhould  be  ill,  thatshe

The  stupendous  military  operations  of  the    and  co-operative  forces  on  the  part  of  Gen.    the  nation's  deliverance  is  near,

of  su 


old  exhausted  and 
abandoned  tobacco  plantations,  Gen.  Lee  bad 
deliberately  chosen  for  a  crashing  surprise  to 
his  enemy.  For  this  purpose,  vastly  inferior 
as  he  was  in  cavalry  and  artillery  to  Gen- 
Meade,  this  ""Wilderness,"  inaccessible  to 
artillery  or  cavalry,  was  shrewdly  selected.  In 
thus  restricting  the  late  battle  there  to  in- 
fantry, the  rebel  army,  behind  its  lines  of 
abattis  and  earthworks,  and  familiar  with  all 
the  inequalities  of  the  ground,  possessed  ad- 
vantages for  defence  and  attack  which  it  can 
again.  Strategically  turned 
,a  position,  the  last  cbance

adrift,  and  the  fortunes  of  the  cam- 
re  in  the  bands  of  Gen.  Grant. 
For  weeks  and  months  the  deeply  designing 
enemy  had  ostentatiously  paraded  their  plans, 
involving  a  resistless  advance  into  the  loyal 
States,  East  and; West  They  had  Lbngstreet 
mounting  an 
foray  into  Ohio,  and  while  a  mere  detachment 
would  be  employed  to  draw  the  army  of  Ge 
Meade  beyond  the  Kapidan,  the  main  body 
Lee's  army,  meantime,  100,000  strong,  having 
swept  around  the  Shenandoah  vail 
across  the  Potomac,  would  be  thundt 
the  back  door  of  Washington.  To  give  color 
to  these  reports,  squads  of  rebel  guerilh 
hovered  along  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  rail- 
road, gangs  of  freebooters  for  a  short  timt 
scoured  the  mountains  of  Eastern  Kentucky, 
while  the  savage  Gen.  Forrest  and  his  5,000 
savage  roughriders,  with  fire  and  slaughter  in 
his  track,  lorded  it  over  Western  Kentucky  and

monstrations  were  simply  intended  to 
large  bodies  of  Federal  troops  to  the  frontiers 
of  the  loyal  border  States,  while  the  rebel  chiefs 
were  concentrating  all  their  accessible  forces 
into  the  army  of  Gen.  Lee. 

These  impotent  devices,  however,  were  only 
amusing  scarecrows  to  Gen.  Grant.  They 
i-jiimallj  failed  to  divert  him  from  his  own 
plans  and  c-ornbiuatioue.  He  saw  that  the 
strength  of  the  rebellion  was  in  Lee's  army, 
and  that  its  citadel  was  Richmond ;  and  so, 
from  the  day  of  his  first  m  i  >  v       iu 

as  General-in-Chief,  Grant's  energies  were  di- 
rected to  the  overthrow  of  Lee  and  the  capture 
of  Richmond.    Now  what  are  the  plans  of  Gen. 

illicit     for    iTUiijuissinu     'hi 
Comprehi'inbit      '  '        <    ■-  ol  the  enemy, 

he  first  proceeds  to  strengthen  immensely  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac — horse,  foot  and  artil- 
lery. Next,  to  cut  off  Lee's  reinforcements  and 
supplies  from  the  South,  a  formidable  move- 
ment, army  and  navy,  is  organised  for  active 
wui-1;  at  the  James  river.  Next,  to  detach  Lee's 
army  and  Richmond  from  the  supplies  of 
Lynchburg  and  the  neighboring  country, 
.strong  cavalry  column  under  Sigel  is  detailed 
up  the  Shenandoah  valley.  Lastly,  to  give 
employment  to  Gen.  Joe  Johnston  in  Georgia, 
and  all  the  rebel  forces  in  that  quarter,  the 
terrible  Sherman,  in  overwhelming  strength, 
with  his  face  towards  Atlanta,  sweeps  down 
upon  the  plains  from  the  mountains  of  Chat- 

This  is,  indeed,  a  formidable  military  cordon, 
but  it  may  all  be  broken  up  if  our  Army  of  the 
Potomac  can  he  inveigled  into  a  snare  and  cut 
to  pieces,  for  then,  yet  once  more,  the  danger 
to  Washington  will  be  the  safety  of  Richmond. 
The  battle  of  the  "Wilderness"  has  settled 
i  Imi  diltkulty  ;  and  thus  while  Grant's  combi- 
nations remain  intact  and  are  successful  on 
every  side,  those  of  the  enemy  are  thrown  into 
East  and  West.  Our  momentous 
;  successes  which  have  followed 


cations  and  scanty  supplies  are  cut  off  on  every 
side  ;  that  while  Richmond  must  speedily  fall 
unleBB  he  flies  to  the  rescue,  inevitable  capture 
or  starvation  awaits  him  in  seeking  a  refuge 
within  that  city's  defences.  Flying  westward, 
from  sheer  exhaustion  and  destitution,  his  dis- 
heartened and  despairing  army  will  soon  be 
dissolved,  and  in  pausing  to  fight  again  he 
covets  immediate  destruction.

The  historian,  in  defining  it,  will  say  that, 
among  all  the  revolutionary  conspiracies  on

revolting  audacity  without  a  parallel  in  the

minor  armies,  and  resolved  to  make  one  tremen-

suspended  to  concentrate  in  this  great  drama. 
The  stage  is  a  wide  one  indeed,  as  the  operations 
extend  from  Dalton  in  Georgia  to  the  banks  of

In  our  last  week's  summary  we  followed  the 
operations  down  to  Friday,  the  6th,  when  Grant

un  named  Mordaunt  Elfstone,  who  had  a 
remarkable  "method  in  his  madness,"  was  con- 
fined in  a  maison  de  santi  near  Paris  for  many- 
years.  He  had  long  enjoyed  an  ample  fortune, 
when  he  met  with  an  accident  which  deprived  him 
f-control.  Having  previously,  from  long 
study  and  love  of  the  sublime  art,  become  a  profi- 
in  sculpture,  he  continued  to  exercise  his 
e  si, ill  ai'hT  In-  mu'wrnnic.  and  I" m-  'Hip- 
plied  with  materials  by  his  rich  English  relatives, 
wrought  many  beautiful  works  in  marble.  Most 
"  them  were,  however,  lost  for  ever  to  the  world, 
through  the  perversity  of  their  mad  author,  who 
1  no  sooner  brought  them  near  completion 
n,  in  some  wild  hour,  he  would  imagine  them 
be  possessed  with  the  spirit  of  his  deadliest 
enemy,  and,  in  a  paroxym  of  fury,  shatter  them  to 
,  Some  few  fine  productions  of  his  chisel 
were,  in  spite  of  him,  snatched  from  destruction 
re  they  were  quite  finished,  but  this  interference 
ith  the  Iconoclast  of  his  own  creations  plunged 
im  into  the  deepest  melancholy  and  despair.  It

rdinarily  betrayed  itself.  There  was  a  dangerous

Gregory  Grimgrip's  green  eyes  gleamed  with 
passion  and  excitement.  Even  in  the  vile  neigh- 
borhood through  which  he  was  walking  the 
rudest  people  moved  out  of  hiB  way,  as  soon. as 
thev  caught  sight  of  the  intense  expression  of  his 
face  and  heard  the  tone  of  his  wild  mutteringa. 
Those  who  did  not  know  him,  observing  that  his 
carriage  was  too  firm  and  equal  for  a  drunken 
man,  thought  him  mad,  and  others  who  recognised 
him  knew  how  dangerous  he  was  in  his  angvy 
mood,  and  gave  him  "ample  room  and  ver0_ 
enough"  as  he  passed  them. 

Mr.  Grimgrip  was  collecting  his  own  rents  that 
day,  and  he  proved  a  harder  landlord  than  usual, 
which  was  needless.  Bitter,  sharp  and  monacing

The  nurse  rushed  forward  and  placed  the  little

recalled  them  to  him  and  introduced  Bertram  to

already  acquainted,  with  winning  grace,  and  bowed 
to  Hapswell,  to  whom  Bhe  waa  a  stranger,  with  the 
elegance  of  the  most  refined  lady.  The  English- 
man, who  at  first  hardly  knew  whether  the  pas- 
sionate feeling  Bhe  excited  in  him  was  aversion  or 
attraction  to  her,  now  began  to  believe  with  a  sort

He  walked  resolutely  away  from  her  several 
times,  but  soon  found  himself  again  by  her  side, 
listening  to  her  half-murmured  conversation,  and 
gradually  kindling  under  the  magic  effect  of  her 
sidelong  glances. 

"  Am  I  permitted  to  know  your  real  name  ?"  he 

""Are  you  not  satisfied  with  the  Serpent?"  she 
replied.    "  Do  you  think  I  am  like  one?" 

"I  should  certainly  prefer  another  name  for 
you,"  replied  Hapswell,  evasively.- 

"  But  you  think  it  only  too  appropriate,"  said  she, 
withdrawing  herself,  while  a  shadow  crossed  her 


the  Bculptor,  gravely.     "  She  is  my  daughter,

"  Her  intimacy  with  Elfstone  is  a  strange  one." 
"Not  at  all.  Li  another  it  might  appear  out  of 
the  way,  but  with  her  it  is  the  most  natural  thing 
in  the  world.  She  has  many  friends  by  whom  she 
is  equally  beloved.  The  Countess  of  Viandi;.;  makes 
an  idol  of  her.  That  she  has  good  cause  I  can 
bear  witness.  I  had  just  paid  a  visit  to  Cardinal 
Wiseman  and  some  of  your  Oxonian  scholars,  with 
whom  I  had  long  corresponded,  and  was  returning 
by  way  of  New  Haven  and  Dieppe,  when  I  first  saw 
Marina.  She  was  plainly  dressed  and  thickly 
veiled,  and  would  have  escaped  my  notice  but  for 
her  eyes,  the  remarkable  fascination  of  whieh  I 
need  not  describe  to  you.  The  CouuteSB  of  Yiandis 
was  on  board,  and  her  lovely  mfant  daughter  was 
in  the  arms  of  her  nurse,  a  lively  girl,  who,  by  way 
of  amusing  the  child,  had  engaged  in  a  little  game 
with  a  handsome  large  dog  that  happened  to  be  on 
board.  The  dog  was  a  goodnatured  but  rough 
romp,  and  pursued  his  playmate  to  the  bulwarks, 
where  it  raised  itself  on  its  hind  legs,  and  with  its 


breast  of  the  now  terror-stricken  girl,  who  leant 
back,  and  in  her  struggle  to  extricate  herself  from 
her  rudely  sportive  assailant,  lost  her  hold 
of  her  little  charge,  and  dropped  the  innocent 
into  the  English  Channel.  The  nurse's  screams 
the  next  moment  reached  the  ears  of  the  countess, 
who  rushed  io  the  spot,  fearing  that  the  dog  was 
tearing  her  child.  When  she  became  aware  of  the 
truth,  she  would,  had  she  not  been  withheld,  have 
leaped  after  her  infant  into  the  sea,  and  have  been 
drowned.  The  count,  who  was  no  better  swimmer 
than  his  wife,  rushed  to  the  captain  and  implored

his  front  is  blockaded  bylines  of  destructive 
military  .VC-nees,  the>  nmy  m>t  unly  be  avoided, 
but  that  the  enemy  nary  be  <li.,]od.L<ed  by  sim- 
ply fuming  lu  the  right  hand  or  toe  Jeff.  Thus 
the  elaborately  strengthened  position  of  Gen. 
Lee  at  Spottsylvania  Court-House  is  rendered 
untenable,  and  so  it  must  bo  with  any  other 
position  commanded  by  au  open  country  mi 
either  wide.  In  fact,  us  was  aptly  said  by  the 
lute  rebel  Gen.  Sidney  Johnston,  when  turned 
out  of  Bowling  Green,  Kentucky,  by  the  cap- 
ture of  Fort  Kearney,  many  leagues  to  the 
westward,  "there  is  not  a  defensive  position 
in  the  Confederate  States  between  then  north-

sac  to  the  defensive  army  in  occupation,  unless 
secured  from  a  siege  by  an  abundant  supply  of 
provisions.  Is  Richmond  thus  provided  for  a 
siege  ?  The  testimony  to  the  contrary  from  all 
sides,  and  in  every  shape,  is  overwhelming. 
It  is  doubtful  whether  the  city's  supplies  would 
be  sufficient,  under  a  close  investment,  to  subsist 
a  garrison  of  50,000  men  for  a  single  month  ; 
and  yet  through  the  channels  which  feed  the 
city,  and  to  a  great  extent  by  way  of  the  city, 
Gen.  Lee's  army  is  itself  subsisted.  If  defeated, 
then,  in  the  open  field,  Gen.  Lee  will  be  utterly

which  there  will  be  no  escape. 

Profiting  from  the  experience  of  Pemberton, 
Lee  is  evidently  pursuing  a  different-  pro-

was  only  looking  into  her  own  agitated  soul,  the 
tumult  of  which  prevented  her  from  Beeing  any-

Bertram  carefully  divested  his  brother  of  his 
bloody  garments,  disposed  him  as  comfortably  as 
possible  in  the  bed,  and  sat  down  by  his  side.  Victor

Victor  remained  tranquil,  his  hand  clasped  in

his  exhausted  nature  needed  so  much.  Bertram 
stole  quietly  to  Marina,  who  was  now  sitting  in  a 
languid  attitude,  her  eyes  downcast,  and  her  mind

At  this  moment  the  slightest  of  audible  sounds 

was  heard,  but  low  as  it  was  it  turned  Marina  very 
pale.  She  rose  in  an  instant  and  opened  the  door,

crept  up  close  to  the  building,  and  through  thi

It  was  a  pleasant,  homely  picturo  that  the  wretched 
woman  looked  upon.  Her  haggard  eyes  grow 
wild  at  the  sight  of  so  much  warmth,  whde  her 
teeth  chattered  with  cold,  and  terrible  chills 
shook  her  from  head  to  foot.  A  noble  wood 
blazed  on  the  hearth,  filling  the  Bmall  white- 
washed room  with,  its  golden  glow.  The  soft 
steam  from  the  teakettle  curled  up  the  chimney, 
broiled  fish  and  hot  Indian  cakes  sent  _a  savor; 
odor  through  the  ill-fitted  sash.

'•  Did  I  ever  break  my  word,  Elsie?" 

"  No,  no ;  but  you  are  so  hard  and  stern." 

She  groaned  aloud,  but  hastened  to  speak  : 
"  I  am  only  in  pain— don't  mind  it." 
"  My  poor  little  Elsie,  my  sister,  my  treasure  1"

woidd  not  permit  herself  to  be  left  alone  for  a

fill  her  with  dread,  and  sho  shrank  with  a  strange 
soil  of  timidity  from  every  lender  word  or  soothing

Flanking  Operations. 

The  successful  battles  and  flanking  itera- 
tions which  have  carried  the  Army  of  the 
Potomac,  under  Gen.  Grant,  from  Culpeper 
Oourt-house  down  into  Richmond  peninsula, 
will,  to  the  future  historian,  form  the  most 
interesting  and  important  chapter  of  all  the 
records  of  this  gigantic  civil 
however,  that 
and  consistent, 
Gen.  Lee,  in  reference  to  Gen.  Grant' 

buted. 

First,   over   the    utterly

evidently  Lee's  estimate  of  Gen.  Grant's  s

Gen.  Grant  would  still  need  his  railroad 
to  secure  it,  the  strongly  fortified  position  of 
Gen.  Lee  at  Mine  run  would  first  have  to  be 
carried.    That  this  calculation  was  a  mistake 
was  proved  by  Gen.  Grant's  abandonment  ol 
the  Orange  road  in  the  act  of  crossing  the 
■  mind,"  Baid  Gen.   Lee,    "we

and  day,  with  his  whole  army, 
danger  of  being  cut  off  from  Richmond. 

.  what  then?  Gen.  Lee  had  provided 
another  strongly  fortified  intrenched  defensive 
position  commanding  the  junction  of  the  Gor- 
donsville  and  Fredericksburg  railroads,  be- 
and  near  the  confluence  of  the  North 
and  South  Anna  rivers,  which  form  the  Pa- 

y.     At  this  point 
fled  that  Gen.  Grant  would  have  no  alternative 
but  a  destructive  effort  to  the  Federal  army  to

The  problem  was  solved  by  another 

which  carried  the  Ariny  of  the  Fo- 
around  again  to  the  left,  and  over  the 
Piinmnky  river,  to  a  point  within  15 
Richmond,  and  conveniently  near  the  White 
House  water  base  of  supplies,  which,  by  way 
of  the  broad  navigable  York  river  or  estuary, 
gives  Gen.  Gri 

possible  communications  with  Fortress  Monroe, 
Washington,  the  James  river  and  Gen.  Butler. 

moving  a  great  army  overland  to  Richmond, 
Gen.  Grant  would  find  the  difficulties  obstruct- 
ing his  idvance  increase  as  he  progressed, 
from  the  increasing  embarrassments  in  hisrear, 
is  proved  a  fallacy.  The  strategist  of  Vicks- 
burg  has,  shown 

three  days,  a  base  of  supplies  maybe  dispensed 
with,  even  in  traversing  an  exhausted  country, 
by  simply  resolving  that  a  certain  point  will  be

the  22d  May,  and  occupied  th 
Mattapony.    Hancock  moved  upon  Bowling  Green 
on  Saturday  by  a  forced  march.    The  rebel  cavalry 
and  a  battery  of  artillery  opposed  his  passage  at 
Guiness 


his  left,  which  was  equivalent  to  saying,  ' '  Gen. 
Lee  desires  to  pass  in  between  me  and  Wash-

I  bo  he  lost  no  time  in  falling 
back  to  Spottsylvania  Oourt-house,  though 
compelled  to  fight  over  every  foot  of  the 
ground. 

What  next?  Gen.  Grant  had  moved  the  line 
of  his  offensive  operations  from  the  Orange  to 
the  Fredericksburg  aud  Richmond  railroad, 
and  in  anticipation  .,!'  tins  possil.h-  elianee  of

intrenched  position,  which,  according  to  the 
old  orthodox  system  of  warfare,  his  adversary 
would  be  compelled  to  carry  before  be  could

was  so  far  tried  by  Gen.  Grant  as  to  satisfy

l  rosy,  girl-woman,  a  flower  of  the  "West, 
Had  a  rapt,  blissful  vision  of  one  faraway, 
(She  dreamt  it  from  midnight  till  dawn  of 
the  day), 


pas  near  her,  his  dark  eye 
beamed  o'er  her, 
;  felt  his  warm  breath  'mid  her  tresses  of 


slumbers  alone  seemed  to 


The  spell  ol 

thrall  her 
From  clasping  her  first,  only  love,  as  of  old. 

And  her  dream  was  a  true  one  ;  with  cheek 
Joy  aglow, 
She  read  how  her  dear  one,  on  that  very 

(While  on  Death-dealing  picket   till  morn's 

graying  light), 
Had  a  sweet  Waking  Dream— not   of  fierce 

prowling  foe, 
No    of  deadly  assault,  not  of  mangled  and 

'Twas  his  Mary's  neat  chamber  the  Patriot

His  Foe  was  the  Slumber  he  would  not  profane, 
And  he  guarded  the  Heart  he  loved  next  to 


Wrecked  and  Rescued. 


It  was  a  wild,  wet,  dreary  and  altogether 
disagreeable  November  morning  that  I  rose  from 
the  breakfast  table,  and  turning  to  the  window, 
looked  forth  rather  anxiously  to  Bee  if  the  weather 
showed  any  signs  of  improvement.  The  appear- 
ance of  the  dripping  eaves  and  leaden-hued  sky 
was  not  encouraging.  Mother  Earth  wuh  taking  hi1

je.'ihei;,  "Snr-h  Mi-.  Mv.is  might  dispense  with 
your  services  while  this  storm  continues." 

"Quite  impossible,  mama.  He  has  his  hands 
full  as  it  is,  for  the  school  is  large,  and  to  be 

dismissal.  But  don'tfretaboutme,77iacfterem<*re. 
I  don't  mind  about  the  walk  at  all,  and  with  my 
overshoes,  waterproof  cloak  and  an  umbrella  I 
shall  be  quite  dry  and  comfortable." 

"You  always  look  at  the  bright  side,  Lillian," 
said  my  mother,  with  a  sigh,  as  she  passed  her 
hand  caressingly  over  the  thick  braids  of  my 
blonde  hair.  "  What  would  your  poor  father  have 
said  could  he  have  foreseen  the  life  of  hardship  and 
privation  that  his  darling  must  endure  ?" 

"He  would  have  said,  mama,  that  he  was  glad 
his  daughter  had  sufficient  pride  and  energy  to 
earn  her  6wn  living,  and  not  be  dependent  on 

"Ah,  child,  had  you  possessed  less  pride,  and 
more  ambition,  you  might  now  havo  been  placed 
far  above  the  necessity  of  such  drudgery."  I 
colored  deeply  at  my  mother's  remark,  but  pre- 
tended to  be  too  busy  clasping  my  cloak  to  notice 
it.     "  You  are  very  tike  y-  or  father,  Lillian .."  ;  bo 


continued,  "  and  you  inherit  all  his  beauty  ;  the

zlingly  fan-  complexion,  the  violet-blue  eyes  and 
the   lustrous   hair,    wavering   betwixt   gold  and 

"Oh,  mamat"  I  interrupted,  "modesty  won't 
to  any  more;  you  will  make  m£ 

at  this  rate  ;"  and  kissing  hei 
cheek  and  bidding  her  good-bye,  I  ran  off  gaily, 
exchanging  the  inner  warmth  and  comfort  for  the 


mother's  regrets  at  our  altered  fortunes,  or  thought 
it  hard  that,  like  the  great  mass  of  my  fellow- 
beings,  I  was  condemned  to  earn  my  daily  bread 
by  my  daily  toil.  I  had  youth,  health  and  energy, 
and  gloried  in  my  power  to  help  myself  and  others. 
After  the  bankruptcy  and  sudden  death  of  my 

John  Moore,  offered  to  provide  for  me  so  far  as 

giving  me  an  education  was  concerned. 

My  mother  gladly  accepted  this  offer,  and  for 
three  years  I  attended  the  beBt  seminary  that  the 
country  afforded,  at  my  wealthy  uncle's  expense. 
When  I  graduated  ho  uttered  to  receive  me  into  his 
family  as  his  daughter,  but  I  promptly,  though 
gratefully,  declined  a  home  that  my  mother  could 
not  share,  and  returning  to  Millbank,  obtained  a 
situation  as  assistant  teacher  in  the  high  Bchool

Mr.  MacAlpine  caUed  that  evening,  and  rather  a 
sboi-my  scene  ensued  between  us.  He  commenced 
by  demanding  an  explanation  of  my  conduct  that 
day  in  so  haughty  and  offensive  a  tone  that  my 
pride  was  up  in  arms  at  once.  Now  a  woman  does 
not  generally  resent  the  assumption  of  a  proper 
amount  of  authority  on  the  part  of  a  lover.  In 
fact,  it  is  felt  to  be  rather  agreeable  than  other- 
wise ;  our  sex  are  submissive  by  nature,  aud  prefer 
being  ruled  to  niling ;  but  woe  to  him  who,  in  his 
arrogance,  shaU  presume  to  push  authority  to  the 
verge  of  tyranny.  On  this  occasion  I  cooUy  but 
denied  Sir  Hugh's  ri^ht  to  call  me 
account,  and  declined  giving  the  explanation 


better  nor  worse  than  the  rest  of 
my  sex ;  they  were  oU  alflte  heartless,  and  he  was 
a  brainless  dolt  and  self-oonvicted  idiot:,  thai  utter 
having  been  once  so  fataUy  deceived  he  could  have 
been  led  a  second  time  to  place  faith  in  a  woman  ; 
he  deserved  all  that  be  might  suffer,  as  a  just 
punish m ent  for  such  stupendous  foUy. 

I  knew  it  was  the  memory  of  tho  bitter  wrong  lie 
had  suffered  at  the  handB  of  one  woman  that  made 
him  so  unjust  to  all  others,  and  I  heard  his  accu- 
sations in  silence,  attempting  no  defence  of  myself 
or  my  sex,  confident  thai ,  in  a  calmer  mome: 
conscience  would  present  the  truth  before  him

it  ceased  raining  just  before  school 
and  I  hurried  on  niv  way,  hoping

again.     The  storm  had  been  of  several  days  dura- 
tion, and  great  quantities  of  rain   had  faUen.     I 
had  heard  tbe  farmers  talking  of  freshets  in  dif- 
ferent places,  and  expressing  apprehensions  oi'  a 
similar  visitation.    As  I  neared  the  river  on  my 
homeward  walk,  I  perceived  that  their  fears  were 
realised.    The  swoUen  stream  bad  burst  its  bounds, 
just  below  the  bridge  it  had  overflowed  a 
s  tract  of  meadow  land,  thus  forming  a  mniia- 
lake.    Through  the  centre  of  this  flowed  the 
turbid  torrent,   bearing  off  on  its  bosom  great

the  dam  with  a 
volume  that  I  had  never  seen  equaUed.  A  crowd  of 
men  and  boys  were  gathered  on  tbe  bank,  near  tbe 
mills,  running  to  and  fro,  seemingly  much  excited, 
while,  from  their  loud  tones  and  eager  gestures  as 
they  pointed  towards  the  dam,  I  concluded  that 
something  was  wrong  in  that  direction.  After 
watching  them  a  few  moments  I  turned  to  cross 
the  bridge,  and  as  I  did  so  J  saw- that  it  shook  and 
trembled  in  eveiy  timber,  and  seemed  to  bend  and 
away  to  the  rushing  current  that  threatened  every 
moment  to  overwhelm  it.  It  was  a  slight  orna- 
niental  structure,  intended  only  for  foot  passengers, 


self  to  this  frail  causeway  or  turn  back  and  take 
the  large  public  bridge  above  the  miUs.  But  to  do 
the  last  I  must  go  half  a  mile  out  of  my  way,  and 
I  decided  to  risk  crossing  where  I  was.  Smiling  a 
little  at  my  momentary  cowardice,  I  stepped  boldly 
on  to  the  bridge,  which  seemed  actuaUy  to  rock 
beneath  mv  feet.  I  Inn!  nearly  gained  the  centre 
when  loud  shouts  and  cries  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
mills  drew  my  eyes  in  that  direction,  and  I  saw 
that  which  blanched  my  cheek  and  chainedme  to 
the  spot,  my  limbs  so  paralyzed  by  terror  that  I 
could  neither  advance  nor  recede. 

The  dam  had  given  way,  and  the  whole  body  of 
water,  thus  suddenly  let  loose,  was  bearing  down 
towards  the  bridge  with  such  tremendous  force 
that  the  great  logs  and  beams  of  the  dam  earned 
along  with  it  were  driven  hither  and  thither,  tossed 
and  whirled  about  like  so  many  nutshells.  There 
was  no  time  fur  action,  scarcely  even  for  thought, 
had  I  been  capable  of  either.  With  a  rush  and  a 
roar  like  that  of  a  vrild  beast  darting  on  its  prey, 
the  vast  volume  of  water  and  the  struggling  mass 
of  timber  were  hurled  against  the  bridge,  which 
shrank  and  quivered  h%e  a  live  creature  beneath 
the  blow. 

Then  came  a  terrific  crash;  the  beams  and 
girders  of  the  bridge  Bnapped  like  dried  twigs ; 
the  structure  parted  midway,  swayed  to  and  fro 
for  a  moment,  then  swung  heavily  round  into  tbe 
current,  and  floated  off,  a  mass  of  rains.  In- 
stinctively tearing  oil'  my  cloak  to  free  my  limbs,  at 
the  moment  of  collision.  I  grasped  the  railing  of 
the  bridge  and  clung  to  it  for  life.  Blinded  by 
the  spray,  deafened  by  the  roar,    gasping   for 

cold  water,  I  was  borne  along  in  the  swirling 
flood,  only  half  conscious,  for  some  minutes,  of 
the  full  terror  of  my  situation.    When  I  could  see 

and  breathe  a  little  more  freely,  I  looked  eagerly 
around,  and  my  heart  sank  within  me  at  the 
prospect.    I  was  in  the  midst  of  a  wild,  surging 

wa.-.ie    ,i'  wideis,  ihickh  strewn  by  the  spofls  aud 
trophies  it  had  gathered   in 
piles  of  boards,  huge  logs  and

to  which  I  clung  had  struck  full

"Just  have  patience  for  to-day  ;  thedoctorwould 
not  allow  of  your  matdng  the  least  exertion." 

"He's  a  cross  old  thing!"  pouted  Elsie,  with  a 

both  sigh  and  smile. 

"You  will  soon  be  able  to  put  him  at  defiance. 
But,  indeed,  you  are  so  weak  now  you  could  not

"  There  is  no  fear  of  my  attempting  to  leave  the 
room,"  ho  replied. 

Elsie  felt  much  improved.  She  sat  up  in  bed, 
made  her  brother  play  at  various  games  of  cords 
with  her,  talked  and  looked  more  like  herself. 

But  into  the  conversation,  in  which  Mellen  did 
his  best  to  hold  a  share,  there  crept  some  chance 


longer  hear.  It  fell  from  Elsie's  lips  thoughtlessly, 
and  at  once  dispelled  her  faint  attempt  at  cheer- 
fulness, throwing  her  back  on  the  gloom  which 
Bhe  had  succeeded  in  shutting  out  for  a  little  time. 

"  Did  you  write  that  letter,  Grant  ?"  she  asked| 
quickly. 

"To  Mr.  Hudson?" 

Elsie  bowed  her  head, 

"  Yes ;  I  sent  it  down  to  the  village,  to  go  by  the 
morning's  boat." 

"  Thank  you,  Grant,  thank  you!" 

She  tried  to  console  herself  with  thinking  she 
had  done  something  in  Elizabeth's  behalf,  but 
when  her  conscience  compared  it  with  all  that  she 
ought  to  do  her  coward  heart  shrank  back  at  the 


bits  of  pasteboard  off  the  bed  with  one  of  her 
abrupt  movements,  which  would  have  been  so  rude 
in  another,  but  seemed  graceful  and  childish  as 
she  did  them.    "Cards  are  stupid  things  at  the 

Mellen  patiently  collected  the  scattered  pack  and 
laid  it  away,  toying  to  think  of  some  other  meana 
of  relieving  her  ennui. 

"  Shall  I  read  to  yon  V  he  asked. 

"  I  don't  believe  I  could  listen,"  she  said,  tossing 
her  head  wearily  about.  "  I  don't  know— just 
try." 

There  was  a  pile  of  now  novels  and  magazines 
on  the  table  in  the  centre  of  the  room,  lor  Elsie 
alwayB  kept  herself  liberally  supplied  with  these

Miss  Dinah  had  come  up  from  the  village,  and 
her  ebony  suitor  was  expected,  so,  what  with  their

Clo  smiled  afifably;  certain  erplanations  had 
passed  between  her  and  'Dolph  on  the  previous 
day,  which  made  her  inclined  to  consider  any 
proposal  of  his  with  high  favor. 

She  summoned  her  unfortunate  drudge  Sally, 
and  ordered  her  to  set  the  table  at  once. 

"And  don't  spend  yer  time  a  gaupin*  at  Miss 


The  truth  was  Sally  had  not  observed  the  gown, 
but  its  bright  crimson  find  struck  Clorinda's  fancy,

cluded the  girl  must,  he  doing  the  same,

to  Elfstone  ;  and,  strongly  as  he  had  been  preji 
diced  against  her,  she  extorted  the  unbounded 
admiration  of  St.  Croix.     Her  gentle  patience, 
admirable  management,  consummate  address, 
multiform  and  ri'-h  fulness  of  her  nature,  and 
inexhaustibility  of  her  resources,  won  his  higl

The  Serpent-Woman. 


Love's  Labor  Lost,  , 


During  the  stormiest  days  of  the  year  1848,  in 
the  focus  from  which  revolution  radiated  over 
Europe,  Julieu  St.  Croix  and  Bertram  Hapswell 
had  a  busy  and  anxious  time  with  their  patients. 
Both  were  in  a  most  precarious  state,  requiring 
great  attention  and  care,  and  the  tremendous  ex- 
citements of  the  period  were  calculated  to  retard 
and  hazard  their  recovering,  especially  in  the  case 
of  the  sculptor,  whose  mind  was  of  the  most  in- 
equable as  possible  was  St.  Croix's  main  object, 
and  he  had  to  guard  his  patient  on  every  hand 
against  the  tumultuous  influences  that  flooded  the 


Elfstone's  memory  returned,  and 
painful  consciousness  of  the  mysterio 
ance  of  hia  beloved  wife  and  child,  w!

induce  him  to  say  : 

'•What  is  the  matter,  child?    Do  you  fear  t 
are  dead?"  ^ . 

"I  do.     The  mother  is  dead,  dnnblless." 

"If  I  only  knew  how  and  where  she  died,  i 
could  visit  her  grave,  I  could  rest  content  till  I 
could  rejoin  her  in  heaven.  But  a  political  earth- 
quake is  convulsing  Europe,  and  I  am  confined  in 
this  asylum.  What  can  I  do?  I  am  not  lunatic 
indeed,  but  I  am  sure  I  shall  go  mad  if  I  am  not 
soon  released." 

Marina  coiled  her  serpent  arms  about  the  old 
sculptor,  and  kissed  him  with  great  affection. 

"  Father,  I'll  toll  you  what  to  do  ;  imitate  me. 
Bo  as  I  am— cunning,  very,  very  cunning  ;  seem 
saner  than  you  are;  flatter  your  keepers,  flatter 
your  doctors,  without  lotting  them  detect  your 
policy,  and  set  yourself  free.  Return  to  England, 
recover  your  estate  and  fortune,  and  when  you 
have  money  you  can  do  anything.  Money  and 
cunning  can  exhume  the  dead,"  and  all  but  bring 
them  to  life  again  1" 

"I  will  be  cunning,  my  darling  Serpent." 

"But  do  not  let  your  cunning  betray  itself. 
Seem  blunt  and  honest  as  the  broad  and  staring 
summer's  day,  and  keep  your  cunning  busy  at 
the  bottom  of  your  heart.  If  you  feel  a  madness,

But  St.  Croix  had  determined  to  try  all,  risk  all, 
rather  than  fail,  and  success  promised  to  be  the 
inevitable  reward  of  his  perseverence.

lto  on  Saturday,  the  21th  of  June,  while  the 
lira-republican  insurrection  was  raging  there  at 
he  height  of  its  firry.  Not  doubting  that  his 
rother  had  occupied  his  favorite  apartments  in 
oe  Quarticr  Latin,  be  made  a  desperate  effort  to 
3ach  them  ;  but  after  receiving  a  Blight  wound  in 


the  leg  and  a  couple  of  bullets  through  hie  hat, 
he  relinquished  the  attempt  as  impracticable. 
The  locality  was  held  by  the  enemies  of  the  gov- 
ernment, and  he  was  compelled  to  wait  till  one 
or  the  other  party  proved  notorious.  Ou  Sunday 
afternoon  the  Gardes  Mobile,  National  Guard  and 
troops  of  the  fine  had  so  far  prevailed  over  the 
fierce  ouvriers  as  to  afford  him  an  opportunity  to 
gain  his  old  lodgings.  He  effected  an  entrance 
into  the  house  in  the  most  informal  manner,  and 
after  a  diligent  search  found  its  occupants  in  tbe 
cellar.  From  them  he  learned  that  Victor  had 
lain  in  the  house  sick  of  a  fever  for  more  than  a 
week  past,  but  had,  a  few  hours  previous  to  Ber- 
tram's visit,  while  a  light  was  raging  iu  the  street 
close  by,  become  excited  by  the  fusillade  and 
shouting,  sprung  from  his  bed,  half-dressed  him- 
self, and  grasping  Ins  sword,  rushed  forth  and 
joined  in  the  conflict.  The  Montagnards  were 
giving  way,  when  he  dashed  among  them,  rallying 
ttfem  with  his  voice  and  example.  Heedless  of

forth,  for  he  found  it  impossible  to  sit  inert  and 
passive,  it  was  with  a  feeling  of  dismal  hopeless- 
ness, and  he  scrutinized  many  a  corpse  with 
pprehensive  curiosity,  lest  he  should  pass  his

"You  may  fall  yourself,"  said  Bertram,  gazing 
wondeiingly  at  the  handsome  young  soldier,  and 

"  There  will  he  none  to  lament  me  if  I  do.    My 

life  is  worthless  and  may  he  well  spared  for  my 
country.    Adieu  1" 

"■En  acant,  -mes  enfans  .'"  shouted  the  captain 
of  the  little  hand.  In  a  moment  the  guard  formed 
and  da.Bh.ed  at  the  barricade. 

Bertram  saw  bin  unknown  friend  climb  it  with 
the  agility  of  a  cat  on  the  instant  after  its  defend- 
ers had  fired,  snatch  the  red  flag,  and  then  fall  or 
rather  roll  down  to  tbe  foot  of  the  defence.  The 
assailants  met  with  the  most  desperate  resistance

truth  ol  his  discovery,  and  befbro  he  knew  what 
he  did  bo  caught  the  military  beauty  in  his  arms 
and  kissed  her  with  a  fervor  that  his  gratitude 
served  to  palliate  but  not  wholly  to  excuse. 

"  Marina,  I  can  hardly  believe  vou  mortal.  Von 
Been,  capable  of  anything.  Angel  you  cannot  be. 
for  1  have  just  seen  you  lighting  like  a  fury." 

"lam  much  obliged  to  you  for  the  inevitable 
mference.  If,  however,  you  take  mo  for  the  devil, 
that,  I  suppose,  accounts  for  vour  sudden  out- 
burst of  affection.  I  doubt  not"  that  tbe  roots  of 
your  family  tree  extend  as  deep  as  the  infernal 


of  me  I  shall  not  be  happy  to  grant." 

"  I  ask  nothing  but  yonr  love.  If  you  can  waste- 
it  upon  a  piece  of  marble,  you  must  have  an  abun- 
dance to  spare." 

"  You  have  no  brother,  I  no  sister ;  I  will  he  a 
brother  to  you— a  tcue  and  affectionate  one— if 

"  A  genuine  bit  ofrPIatonism,  I  declare  1  What

She  gave  him  her  little  band,  while  sweetly  mm  - 
iming  the  last  words,  looked  into  his  eyes  with 
ie  deep  witchcraft  of  her  glance,  and  he  drew  her 
eartohim,  so  near  indeed  that  their  lips  met  in  a 
iss,  sweeter  than  Bertram  had  ever  dreamt  sweel-

)  their  soft  pressure,  when  their  kiss  was  echoed 
y  a  profound  sigh.  They  turned,  and  beheld 
ictor's  keen  gray  eyes  wide  open  and  fixed  upon 
lem.  The  rich  blood  was  instantly  mantling  hi 
ie  cheeks  and  foreheads  of  the  detected  ones,  tho 
idden  dawn  of  shame  before  i

"  How  durst  you  awake,  contrary  t

"My  brother  takes  my  medicine  ;  ecrtainlvn 
answered  Victor,  slily. 

' '  Do  you  accuse  him  ?" 

"  I  saw  him  with  it  to  his  lips  even  now  " 

"  Only  to  learn  how  bitter  it  tastes.     There  ii 
danger  that  hi 


'  Love  is  mutual  ruin,

i  of  friendship 

and  friendship 


is  my  element,  and  I  perish,  like  a  mortal  in  the 
chill  ether,  without  it.  The  selfish  are  no  doubt 
alone  wise  ;' but  your  frigid  island  blood  and  cal- 
culating philosophy  are  death  to  me.  I  cannot 
keep  the  flame  of  my  life  alive  in  an  iceberg.  I 
must  breathe  in  a  warmer  clime,  though  the  earth 
burn  beneath  my  feet.  I  must  go  where  the  sun 
has  strength  enough  to  reach  the  hearts  of  men." 
She  caught  from  off  the  sofa  a  black  and  a  red 
flag,  which  Bertram  remembered  to  have  seen 
waving  over  the  barricade  she  helped  to  capture, 
flaunted  them  proudly  before  his  eyes,  and  cried : 

"Marina  I"  shouted  he. 

But  Marina  was  gone  and  would  not  be  recalled-

-Grant  and  Sherman  — 
Richmond  and  Atlanta. 
Anotheb  week  of  signal  and  uninterrupted 
successes  has  been  added  to  the  glorious  record 
ofouradvancingarmies,  East  and  West.  Grant 
thundering  at  the  gates  of  Richmond,  and 
Sherman  sweeping  down  with  his  irresistible 
columns  upon  Atlanta,  are  the  great  historical 
facts  of  the  day.    The  heart  of  every  Unionist 


rejoices,  while  the  chiefs,  organs  and  oracles  of 
the  rebellion  are  amazed  and  confounded. 

These  treacherous  guides  of  a  deluded  people 
are  now  beginning  to  realise  their  folly,  and 
to    hint  at  their  hopeless   situation.      Their 


hoods  and  brazen  deceptions  have  failed  to  ac- 
count, to  the  satisfaction  of  their  credulous 
followers;  for  th'eVpr.esence  of  Gen.  Grant  in 
front  of  Richmond  and  Of  Geh;  Sherman  at 
id  why?      Because  the  popular 


credulity  of  the  South  had  been  flattered  with 
the  promises  of  a  crushing  campaign  through 
Maryland  and  Pennsylvania  by  Gen.  Lee,  and 
a  sweeping  invasion  of  Ohio  by  Gen.  Jo,  John- 
ston with  an  army  of  veterans  100,000  strong. 
These  royal  promises,  contrasted  with  the 
sorry  performances  of  both  Lee  and  Johnston, 
have  demanded  an  explanation  beyond  the  in- 
ventive faculties  of  the  rebel  leaders  to  mate. 
Buttheyhave,  nevertheless,  tried,  by  the  boldest 


Lee  i 


I  Johnston  are  doing  wo 


ders  towards  t 
dependence.  Thus,  when  a  few  weeks  ago  i 
people  of  Virginia  inquired  why  Gen.  Lee, 
stead  of  moving  across  the  Potomac,  was 
the  road  to  Richmond,  with  Gen.  Grant  cl 
upon  his  flanks,  they  were  answered  that  G

of  his  troops,  he  pushes  around  into  Maryland, 


,  Jo.  John- 
ston, with  the  advance  of  Sherman  upon  him, 
wns  dislodged  and  fell  hack  from  point  to  point, 
it  was  proclaimed  that  his  plan  was  to  lure  the 
Yankee  army  down  into  the  heart  of  Georgia, 
that  it  might  be  the  more  effectually  destroyed. 
But  these  shallow  prevarications  and  excuses 
are  now  at  an  end,  and  from  Virginia  to  Mobile 
the  organs  of  Jeff  Davis  are  beginning  broadly 
to  hint  the  truth  that  can  no  longer  be  con- 
cealed—that Richmond  is  in  danger;  that  Jo. 
Johnston  is  powerless  to  stay  the  onward  march 
of  the  Yankees,  even  at  Atlanta,  and  that  the 
"  Confederacy"  cannot  survive  the  fall  of  Rich- 
mond or  the  Iobs  of  Georgia. 

With  stich  admissions  ns  these  from  Rich- 
mond and  Georgin,  we  cannot  doubt  that  with 
the  fall  of  the  rebel  capital  the  whole 


Amu.,  ml,  political  and  military,  will 
ately  collapse.  With  the  fall  of  Richi 
prestige  and  the  credit  of  Jeff  Davis  abroad 
will  quickly  disappear.  He  will  get  no  more 
"financial  and  material  aid"  from  English 
capitalists  and  speculators,  ironclad  shipbuild- 
ers, cotton  loan  takers  or  blockade-runners. 
From  England  to  China  Davis  and  his  Con- 
federacy will  be  regarded  as  exploded  and  ex- 


immedinie  consequences  nmoiiR  tV  peoplo  of 
the  rebellious  States  be  different.  With  their 
general  Government  expelled  from  Richmond, 
where  is  it  to  find  a  place  of  refuge  ?

moral  effect  at  home  aud  abroad  of  the  loss  of

Confederacy  with  the  capture  of 
will,  at  this  desperate  ci  i.sis  in  the 
fortunes  of  the  rebel  Council  of  Five  Hundred, 
bring  their  usurpations,  their  labors,  their  fears, 
and  their  hopes  at  once  to  an  end. 

They  know  it,  they  feel  it,  and  they  are  at 
length  constrained  to  confess  it,  that  their 
model  of  a  Southern  Confederacy,  founded  upon 
the  corner-stone  of  slavery,  and  set  up  in  the 
name  of  King  Cotton,  has  proved  a  deception, 
a  delusion  and  a  snare,  and  is  vanishing 
like  a  caBtle  in  the  clouds.  The  profound 
sagacity  of  Gen.  Grant  in  making  the  rebel 
capital  the  principal  object  of  all  the  com- 
binations of  this  grand  campaign,  will  soon 
be  made  apparent  with  the  capture  of  Rich- 
mond, and  the  genuine  collapse  of  the  rebellion 
that  will  instantly  follow,  in  every  quarter,  in 
•very  shape,  and  in  everything,  from  Virginia 
to  Texas.

Summary  of  the  Week. 


To  make  the  situation  of  affair.-,  mure  dear  to 
ir  renders*,  and  enable  them  to  follow  the  opera- 
one  of  tin.-  armies,  we  have  treated  of  Grant's  and 
utlor's  armies  separately.  But  Grant,  inexorable 
a  death  or  fate,  has  pressed  on  till  the  army 
under  Butler  is  at  his  immediate  disposition. 

Grant's  cavalry  crossed  the  Pamun- 
routing  the  enemy  in  a 
spirited  engagement  south  of  Hawe's  store. 
Here  Grant  took  up  his  quarters,  and  soon  had

beyond  the  head  of  Tolop'atomoy 


tree,  and  easily  repulsed  them. 
On  Tuesday  Gen.  Sheridan,  at  the  other  end  of 
re  line,  routed  the  forces  of  Fitxlui^'ii  Lei?  and 
lingman  at  Coal  Harbor,  taking  many  officers. 
The  next  day  Grant  made  an  attack  with  his 
left,  consisting  of  the  Gth  corps  and  Smith's  troops, 
"  finally,  after  rtark  carried  the  enemy's  work  in 
front ;  Smith's  proved  to  he  untenable  however, 
nemy,  to  divert  attention,  attacked  other 
parts  of  our  line,  but  were  repulsed. 

On  Saturday  night  the  enemy  attacked  Han- 
cock, Wright  and  Smith,  but  were  everywhere  re- 
pulsed. Hancock  is  now  within  40  yards  of  Lee's 
works,  and  Lee  is  throwing  up  entrenchments  on 
the  muddy  banks  of  the  Chicahominy.  Grant 
has  indeed  failed  to  force  the  passage  of  the  river, 
but  Ins  generalship  is  not  exhausted*

Presently  the  moon  came  up  shining  calmly  on

out  of  the  city.  They  had  reached  the  great  gate

"Ob!  my  good  girl,"  cried  Blanche,  weeping— 
"  what  should  I  do  indeed  without  you?  If  you 
could  only  stay  with  me.  Someway  I  am  very 
much  frightened  at  the  prospects  before  me.  I 
am  going  to  Madame  Euphrosine." 

Annette,  with  au  effort,  repressed  a  shudder- 
that  crone's  name  was  known  all  over  Paris.  There 
was  no  danger  there,  to  be  sure,  unless  the  woman 
herself  should  be  revengeful— for  her  very  base- 
ness protected  her.  Nobody  would  think  of 
searching  that.  Bastile  for  perished  beauty— child 
aud  man  alike  feared  its  very  shadow.  No  officer 
of  justice  was  dauntless  enough  to  exist  for  a  mo- 
poisonous  atmosphere.

He  embraced  her  as  they  came  in  view  of  the 
building,  which,  in  the  gloom,  looked  like  some 
fortress.     There  was  no  light  to  be  seen. 

"Go  !"  whispered  Antoine,  as  he  stood  back  and 
gently  held  ht-rn-om  him.

chains  and  bolts  struok  her  ear.  One  after  the 
other  all  obstructions  were  removed,  and  the  door 
was  opened,  still  chained,  but  admitting  little  more 
than  a  square  inch  of  hght.  Most  hideous  was  the

"And  who  is  your-  father,  bussey,  and  who  are

yesterday ;  I  was  there  all  day." 

Blanche  shuddered  with  horror. 

"What  did  your  father  ask  for  you?"  cried  the 
witch. 

"Protection,"  faltered  Blanche—  "shelter  till  tho 
trouble  iB  over." 

"Protection  —  shelter!"  muttered  the  other. 
"  Tho  child  of  an  aristocrat  comes  to  me,  the  old

wrath  of  the  avenging  populace,  rather  than  faco 
this  terrible  virago;  hut  Antoine,  unseen  by  all

the  folds  of  which  gleamed' hundreds  of  seed

emallfortune,  and  the  work  upon  its  gleaming  front 
must  have  cost  many  weary  hours  of  labor.  In 
unbounded  astonishment  she  lifted  herself  upon 
one  elbow,  and  began  to  inspect  these  strange 
premises.  There  was  neither  method  nor  cleanli-

feet  seemed  coated  here  and  there  with  tilth,  in 
other  places  cut  and  slashed,  as  if  in  some  mad

would  even  be  willing  to  eat  the  onion  raw,  and 
though  it  was  to  her  delicate  taste. 
there  was  a  clanking  as  of  chains,  a 
clatter  asof  feet!  Blanchefelt  her  heart  beat  quick ; 
trembled  violently  from  fear  and  weakness ; 
i  dread  to  see  again  the  woman  who  had 
proved  herself  so  utterly  heartless.  She  needed 
steps  did  not  come  near  her,  but  were 
soon  heard  receding  in  the  distance ;  Madame

How  to  pass  another  night  without  food  Blanche 
scarcely  knew.  She  who  had  always  her  daintiest

At  last  she  thought  that  this  was  Sunday.  It 
gave  her  new  hope.  Perhaps  the  old  madame 
had  after  all  a  piety  of  some  sort,  and  she  had

yet.  But  no  ;  the  weary  hours  of  another  night

and  there  saw  Madame  Euphrosine  diving  deep 
into  an  old  chest.  At  the  Bame  time  Bhe  thought

Tne  old  woman,  who  hud  been  holding  the  door 
open  to  induee  and  facilitate  Victor's  egress,  re- 
ceived the  slate  baclf  with  a  bad  grace,  perused 
the  added  writing  with  a  frown,  hung  np  the  slate, 
pointed  to  the  open  doorway,  and  even  made  an 
attempt  to  put  him  out.  To  convince  her  of  the 
utter  fallacy  of  any  mid.  endeavor,  Victor  shut  the 
door,  thrust  the  wrinkled  dame  aside,  and  walked 
into  the  house  till  he  came  near  the  foot  of  the 
atairs,  where  he  stood  looking  up  them,  as  if  dis- 
posed to  ascend  to  the  storey  above. 

The  old  woman  flew  past  him  with  Bpeed  sur- 
prising in  such  a  cripple,  disappeared  through

denly  it  disappeared,  and  he  thought  he  had 
frightened  it  away.  But  it  returned,  alily  peeping, 
curious  and  smiling,  and  again  he  beckoned  it. 
At  this  moment  the  sound  of  approaching  footsteps 
was  heard,  the  beautiful  bead  was  thrust  forward, 
the  long,  lovely  neck  craned  over  the  balusters, 
and  then  was  jerked  back  and  out  of  sight  in  an

Victor,  without  replying,  examined  Grimgrip 
from  bead  to  foot,  as  if  it  had  suddenly  occurred 
to  him  to  make  a  study  of  his  person,  and  then 
looked  into  his  eyes  with  a  keen,  penetrating 
glare. 

'^Vell,  f-ii'!"  exclaimed  Grimgrip. 

' '  Mr.  Grimgrip,  I  want  to  borrow  money  of  you,

ing. What  face" was  that  which  peered  over  the 
balusters  at  me  just  now  ?" 

At  this  interrogation,  the  countenance  of  the 
old  man  became  a  fearful  sight  to  behold,  the  like 
of  which  Madame  TussautVs  famous  room  of  hor- 
rors never  contained.  Ugly  as  he  was  by  nature, 
the  green  pallor  that  now  overspread  Grinigrip's 
face,  made  him  look  ten  times  more  abhorrent  and 
devilish,  and  the  writhing  df  his  features  in  his 
effort  to  maintain  composure,  rendered  them  as 
horrific  as  the  snakes  in  the  lair  of  the  Furies. 

"  What  business  have  you  to  pry  into  my  family 
affairs?"  gasped  he  at  last,  hardly  knowing  what 

"I  have  business,  Gregory,"  replied  Victor, 
with  cool  familiarity,  delighted  to  ibid  that  he  had

and  Elfstone  himself  would  have  started  on  a

Julian  St.  Croix  took  an  affectionate  farewell

Marina  and  paid  her  a  visit.  He  found  her  in  an 
obscure  village  in  the  Cotes  du  Nord,  residing 
with  Matlame  Nitouche ;  a  tall,  dark  and  fairyf 
eyed  lady  of  a  malignant  temper  and  pious  turn, 
who  expected,  by  charitable  purchase,  prayers 
and  penance  to  atone  for  an  evil  life  and  win  her 
way  into  heaven.  Her  religion  was  superstition, 
her  superstition  gross  and  grovelling,  and  her 
formal  and  laborious  piety  seemed  rather  to  ob-

Nitouche,  and  poor  Marina  besieged  her  heart  in 
vain  for  the  smallest  share  of  maternal  love.  The 
mother  had  already  warned  her  daughter  that  the 
duration  of  -her  stay  had  nearly  expired,  when 
Julian  St.  Croix  arrived  and  effected  an  entire 
change  of  manner  in  the  former  toward  the  almost 
discarded  child.  Madame  Nitouche  now  treated 
Marina  with  apparent  kindness,  and  madehersal 
seem  to  St.  Croix  a  very  exemplary,  if  not  saintly 
person.  She  had  heard  much  of  St.  Croix  before 
she  saw  him— of  his  eloquent  defence  of  the  church, 
and  his  many  acts  of  daring  goodness ;  had  pe- 
rused some  of  his  writings,  and  looked  upon  him 
as  a  holy  youth  destined  to  canonization.  Ma-

therefore  the  more  deeply  and  ardently.    His  re-

that  my  mother  has  never  yet  acknowledged  me.

NEW   YORK,   JUNE    25, 


An  attentive  listener  among  the  busy  gam- 
blers of  Wall  street  any  day  during  the  week 
past,  will  bear 
operatoi 

stocks  are  making  the  most  they  can  of  Gen. 
Grant's  detention  at  the  northern  outworks  of 

ichmond.    "What  do  we  hear  from  these  birds 


of  evil  omen  ?  Such  croakings  as  these : 
"Grant  is  fading  out;"  "awfully  cut  up;" 
"nothing  done;"  "just  where  McOlellan  was 
when  Stonewall  Jackson  pounced  on  him ;" 
"Richmond  is  not  Vicksburg,  and  Lee  is  not 
Pemberton,"  and  numerous  other  lii]>i>;mt.  im- 
pertinent and  suspicious  remarks  of  similar 
import.  Unfortunately  too,  there  are  "on 
'Change  "  many  ignorant,  timid  and  credulous 
men,  or  "lame  ducks,"  as  we  may  technically 


define  them,  who 

croaking  owls  and  ravens.  Thus  "one  fool 
makes  many,"  and  the  infectious  elements  of 
doubt  and  distrust  are  diffused  from  the  heart 
through  all  the  arteries  and  ramifications  of 
our  financial  and  political  system. 

There  is  not  the  slightest  occasion,  however, 
for  any  apprehension 
of  the  present  strug, 
inevitable  issue  of  tht 


ready  to  1 


c  doubt  as  to  the  result 


far  off — will  be  the  occupation  of  the  city  by 
the  Union  army,  and  the  dissolution,  capture 
or  disappearance  of  Jeff  Davis  to  parts  un- 
known. Had  the  co-operative  detachments  of 
Union  troops  in  the  Shenandoah  valley  suc- 
ceeded in  the  outset  in  the  part  assigned  them, 
and  had  the  «James  river  expedition  made 
thorough  work— as  was  generally  expected  it 
would  do — in  cutting  the  south  side  railway 
with  the  city,  we  have  no  doubt

thnt  Lee  would  have  been  compelled

and  to  abandon  Virginia  ; 

army.     But  Gen.  Grant, 

nrbs  of  Richmond,  found  that  the  chapter  c 

delays  and  accidents  elsewhere  had  left  Lee' 


,|.|-.)Ism|   aiipplies  West  and   South, 
thos  he  might,  a' 
lenge  the  Union 

Accordingly,  Gen.  Grant  has  been  reduced, 
as  at  Vicksburc,  to  the  debberate  work  of  regu- 
Recent 
evente*  however,  "we  think,  will  justify  the 
opinion  that  the  city  will  yet  be  captured  with- 

and  without  reducing  the  army 
prehend,  to  the  extremity  01  ; 
starvation.     Gen.  Hunter,  the  new 
of  the  Department  of  the  Shenandoah  Valley, 
has  recently  gained  a  valuable  victory  over  the 
enemy,  and"  a  very  important  point  of 
tion,  in  the  capture  of  Staunton.   He  has  gained 
II, ,■   additional   advantage    thex€ 
with    the   previously    detached 
Gens.  Crooks  and  Averill.     We  may  reasonably 
conclude,  therefore,  that  with  the  junction  of 
these  officers  and  their  troops,  after  the  defeat 
and  dispersion  of  the  opposing  forces  of -the 
enemy,  Gen.  Hunter  will  unquestionably  ac- 
complish the  task  of  cutting  off  the  supplies  of 
the  Shenandoah  valley  and  the  Lynchburg  valley 
from  Gen.  Lee,  and  the  connecting 
railway  lines  of  transportation. 

ThiH  expedition  will  thus  dispose  oi"  Hk-i 
of  subsistence   west  and  northwest  of 
mond,  upon  which  Lee's  army  and  the  city  large- 
ly depend,  and  will  render  utterly  impracticable 
another  Northern  raid  by  Gen.  Lee,  should  Gen.

With  flushing  cheek  and  downcast  eye,

"Victor  spent  the  money  thus  ported  aa  freely 
as  if  its  source  had  been  inexhaustible,  like  a 
never-failing  water  spring.  He  fell  into  the  ways 
of  the  New  York  profligates  with  tin.-  facility  i..i 
instinct,  and  became  a  general  favorite  with  them  ; 
for  while  he  had  money  he  was  always  willing  to 
"treat  the  crowd,"  and  when  he  was  without  a 
cent  never  dreamed  of  asking  them  for  one. 
Gamblers,  pugilists  and  the  "fancy"  delighted  in 
him,  for  he  could  fight  and  play,  and  gain  and 
lose  with  perfect  sangfroid  a  ~

drink  himself  to  death,  but  when  he  found  that  he 
Bwallowed  with  impunity  that  liquid  fire  called

and  preferred  this  flaming  drink  as  an  ordinary 
beverage  to  tea  and  coffee,  he  relinquished  all 
confidence  in  this  slayer  of  thousands,  and  cast. 
about  him  for  quicker  means  to  rid  himself  of  tin, 
nsatiable  young  vampire  that  was  feeding  upon, 
lis  life. 

"If  I  must  be  ruined,"  said  Grimgrip  toliim-.

Victor,  who  was  familiar  with  this  kind  of  talk 
from  women  of  her  class,  and  attached  no  im-

i  n  the  midst  of  hi^scurrihty  the  utterer  received

water,  she  threw  herself  into  the  deep  tide  and 
quickly  sank  out  of  sight,  and  out  of  the  reach  of 
earthly  suffering  for  ever.  .  • 

Victor's  awakening  in  the  Tombs  on  the  morn- 
ing after  the  death  of  McKill  was  full  of  remorse. 
The  acquaintance  he  had  made  in  New  York  for- 
tunately included  a  lawyer  of  talent  and  experience, 
and  for  him  he  sent  at  once.  His  friend  responded 
to  his  summons  without  delay,  and  as  Boon  as  he 
tin. I  bran!  his  rftatemenj  informed  him,  frankly,  of 
the  danger  in  which  he  stood,  and  the  slender 
chances  of  his  escape,  professing  at  the  same  time 
to  bo  willing  to  undertake  his  eause  and  to  do  tho 
best  for  him  he  could  under  the  circumstances.

wells  on  my  track.  I  must  double  in  the  course 
and  throw  them  out,  but  first  will  I  see  if  I  cannot 
gag  this  good-for-nothing." 
Victor  was  inditing  a  letter  as  Grimgrip  entered, 


"  Verily,  friend  Gregory." 

"  Well,  sir,  you  seem  to  feel  little  regret." 

"  I  beg  you  pardon,  Gregory,  I  feel  much  regret 

"What?" 

"  That  you  do  not  bear  me  company.  It  is  un- 
natural to  part  us  ;  for  the  fool  and  the  knave  have 
an  inherent  attraction  for  one  another." 

"  It  is  impossible  for  me  to  see  how  they  can  be 
separated  in  you  at  all,  Mr.  Kingsland." 

'"Tishard  ;  but  you  see  your  face  makeB  knavery 
look  so  perfectly  hideous  as  to  frighten  the  very 
ghost  of  it  out  of  me." 

Gregory's  green  eyes  flashed,  but  he  refrained 
plying,  thinking

Victor  continued  to  write,  and  the  old  fellow, 
af*w  a  thoughtful  pause,  observed  quietly  :

addressed  toBertiam  U  ,  II  iciiiiui  i  i  i

miser  appeared,  and  strange  as  was  the  apparition 
Victor  had  beheld  in  his  houBe,  they  formed  too 
slight  a  foundation  upon  which  to  build  confiding 
hope,  and  Bertram  found  Elfstone  in  a  state  of 
mind  so  agitated  and  dubious  that  he  deemed  it 
best  to  withhold  from  him  the  startling  intelli- 
gence be  bad  reerivr.d,  till  his  brother's  impres- 
Bions  were  confirmed  by  more  reliable  evidence. 
He  waited  long  for  further  communications  on  the 
Bubject.  He  would  have  felt  more  annoyed  and 
impatient  at  the  delay  had  he  not  been  used  to 
his  brother's  habits  of  negligence,  which,  bo  long 
as  money  enabled  him  to  pursue  his  career  of 
pleasure,  were  indulged  with  utter  recklessness. 
But  there  was  a  limit  even  to  Bertram's  patience, 
and  he  determined  at  last  to  follow  Mb  brother  to 
America  and  ascertain  the  truth  himself.  He 
framed  an  excuse  for  leaving  Ellingford,  but  Elf- 
stone would  not  admit  it. 

"Leave  me  now,"  he  said,  "and  I  am  lost.  I 
cannot  longer  lead  a  life  of  idle  suspense,  and  shall 
soon  receive  my  '  Lost  Love '  from  France.  It  will 
throw  me  into  a  great  excitement  I  know,  and  if 
you  are  not  by  to  sustain  me,  will,  I  fear,  upset 
the  balance  of  my  mind."

which  he  soon  became  diBgusted,  as  indeed  he 
was  fast  growing  with  everything.  While  return-

thought  the  ugliest  he  had  everbeheld,  and  heard 
a  sailor  exclaim  to  his  fellow  :

Bertram  heard  no  more,  for  he  had  already 
turned  about  and  was  in  pursuit  of  the  subject 
of  the  sailors'  remarks.  He  failed  to  overtake 
him,  however,  and  for  days  after  rambled  over

blind  alley,  through  which  he  had  attempted  to

dilapidated  and  f 


use  hard  by,  i 
bo  hideous  and  mis-

Bertram  watched  the  house  into  which  Grim- 
grip had  disappeared  for  hours.  To  avoid  obser- 
vation, he  retired  into  the  porch  of  an  apparently 
tminhabitcd  budding  opposite,  and  kept  his  eyes 
fixed  upon  the  windowB  at  which  he  hoped  to 
behold  the  victim  of  the  ogre  he  had  hunted  to 
his  dismal  den.  At  last  a  light  gleamed  through 
the  dingy  panes  of  the  second  storey  windows,  and 
a  face  appeared  close  to  one  of  the  sashes.  It 
was  not  Grimgrip's,  though  almost  as  ugly,  being 
old,  thin,  white  and  ghastly.  This,  thought 
Bertram,  is  the  deaf  and  dumb  housekeeper 
whom  Victor  described.  The  old  woman  looked 
up  and  down  the  alley,  and  Beeing  nothing  stir-

He  could  not  walk,  so  they  carried  him  down  to 
the  lodge,  and  there,  while  waiting  for  a  doctor  to 
come,  he  sat  looking  death  in  the  face  with  the  same 
desperate  bravado  that  had  marked  his  conduct 
all  the  night. 


s  pride  was  utterly  crushed.  He  long 
to  cast  himself  down  by  her  side  and  die  there. 
The  next  morning,  when  nurses  and  physieia 
arrived,  Mellen  left  the  house.  He  was  going  c 
on  an  aimless  search  for  his  lost  wife— the  worn 
who  had  given  up  her  last  hope  for  him  and  his 
He  learned  at  the  lodge  that  the  wound

When  night  came  he  returned  home,  only  to  hear 
Elsie's  mad  shrieks  and  laughter  echoing  through 
the  desolate  house,  to  pass  the  night  with  those 
sounds  ringing  in  his  ears,  and  that  terrible  re- 
morse tugging  at  his  heart. 

The  next  morning  he  started  again  on  his  errand. 
He  was  told  in  the  village  that  the  man  was  dead. 
The  story  had  gone  abroad  that  it  was  a  daring 
burglar,  and  that  the  officers  had  surprised  him 
breaking  into  Mellen's  house.  He  had  found  no 
strength  to  tell  his  story,  so  fear  of  open  disgrace 
perished  with  him. 

In  the  madness  of  his  grief  Mellen  had  forgotten 
that  Tom  Fuller  was  hiB  guest.    The  young  man's 


oiihe  wild  turmoil  thai  distracted 
the  family.  Tom  was  not  a  very  early  riser,  and 
when  he  came  down  in  the  morning,  sauntering 
Izaily  into  the  breakfast-room.  e:-:peeiue;  to  see 
Elsie  there  in  her  pretty  blue  morning-dress  and 
flossy  cutIb,  he  found  the  room  empty,  no  table 
spread,  and  no  human  being  to  greet  him. 
"  Well,  this  is  strange,"  said  Tom  ;  "  but  when

man's  grief  softened  her  so  much  that  she  allowed 
him  to  steal  into  Elsie's  boudoir,  where  he  sat  all 
the  morning  listening  to  the  poor  girl's  muttered 
fancies,  after  heaping  Vic  with  gold  piecesto  leave 
the  door  open,  that  he  might  catch  a  glimpse  now 
and  then  of  the  beloved  face,  flushed  and  wild  as 
it  was.  Generous,  noble-hearted  Tom  Fuller  ;  he 
had  bceu  really  hungry  when  he  came  from  his

"Fuller,  you  are  her  only  relative,  and  have  a 
right  to  know.  Come  out  into  the  grounds,  the 
air  of  the  house  would  stifle  me." 

They  sat  down  together  on  a  garden  chair 
within  sight  of  the  old  cypress.

faded  from  his  face,    ' '  Dead — you  can't  mean  it."

The  poor  fellow  broke  down,  a  convulsioi

Mellen,  -without  lifting  his  weary  eyes  from  th*

curved  round  the  bay,  and  leaving  the  shore

Gen.  Grant  on  the  South 
Side  of  Richmond. 

In  the  transfer  of  the  Army 
of  the  Potomac  from  the  pes- 
tilential swamps  of  the 
hominy  on  the  north  to  the 
south  side  of  Richmond,  Gen. 
Grant  has  executed  another  oi

[July  2,  1864. 


overed  the  withdrawal  of 
our  forces  from  his  immediate  fro 
to  march  out,  intercept  them,  and  bring  them 
to  a  battle,  or  another  aeries  of  battles,  had  he 
not  felt  himself  too  seriously  cut  up  to  attempt 
it.  In  fact,  as  a  graphic  war  correspondent 
accompanying  our  great  Western  army  in 
Georgia  says  of  Gen.  Sherman,  we  may  say  of 
Gen.  Grant:  that  from  the  first  dislodgment  of 
his  adversary  to  the  present  day  "hehasplayed 
around  him  as  a  cooper  plays  around  a  cask," 
and  still  tightening  his  coils  around  him  with 
every  blow. 

But  the  exacting  jeader  will  naturally  inquire 
what  has  Gen.  Grant  gained  by  this  last  bril- 
liant operation?  Is  he  not  further  from  Rich- 
mond  at  Petersburg,  on  the  south  side  of  the 
city  and  the  James  river,  than  he  was  jit  Cold 
Harbor,  on  the  north  side?  Is  n 
capital,  with  the  broad  river  in  1 
defended  on  the  south  than  on  the  north  side? 
Is  it  not  possible,  too,  that,  situated  ns  Gen. 
Lee  now  is,  between  our  army  and  Washington, 
he  may  repeat  his  aggressive  programme  of 
1862,  leaving  Richmond  to  the  chances  of  cap- 
ture, or  absolutely  abandoning  it  to  secure  the 
prize  of  our  national  capital? 

We  answer:  First,  Gen.  Grant,  in  moving 
his  army  to  the  south  side  of  Richmond,  has 
transferred  it  from  the  deadly  malaria  of  the 
Chicahominy  —  a  great  point  gained  — to  a 
henlihy  position;  he  has  secured  the  broad  and 


plies;  he  has  secured  the  junction  of  Gen. 
Meade's  grand  army  with  the  fine  army  of  Gen. 
Butler;  he  has  secured  the  active  co-operation 
of  Admiral  Lee's  powerful  squadron  of  iron- 
clads and  gunboats;  and,  above  all,  he  has 
secured  a  position  from  which  he  can  readily 
and  effectually  cut  off  the  rebel  ( 
every  Tirtery  of  subsistence  through  which 
the  city  is  fed  from  Norti.Ciuoli!  in  am"!  Go.-i^-hi. 
This  movement  against  Richmond,  in  fact,  very 
much  resembles  that  splendid  dash  of  last 
tjuuuii.  s  ii.-v,  11  ilu  "Mississippi,  andaround  from 
thesouthtotherearofVicksburg;  * 
the  same  design  and  the  same  certain  advan- 
tages of  cutting  off  the  city  from  its  remaining 
sources  of  reinforcements  and  subsistence. 
Gen.  Grant  is  now  between  Lee  ar 
ston,  as  he  was  last  June  between  Pemberton 
and  Johnston;  and  now,  as  then,  he  has  each 
so  completely  tied  up  that  neither  can  attempt 
to  relieve  the  other  without  hazarding  the  ruin 
of  both. . 

Such  are  the  positive  advantages  gained  by 
Gen.  Grant  in  his  new  position.  They  are  so 
comprehensive  that  the  defences  of  Richmond, 
on  every  side,  may  be  omitted  from  the  esti- 
innt-  .   iniiSMiurh  us  i'hos,-  delenCes   will  fimmint 

to  nothing  the  moment  the  city,  with  its  de- 
fensive army,  is  cut  off  from  its  sources  of 
subsistence.  Dependent  upon  the  s 
within  the  city's  encircling  earthworks,  Rich- 
mond, with  its  population  of  say  20,000  souls. 
Lee's  effective  army  of  75,000  men,  and  his  sicl 
and  wounded  soldiers  to  the  number  of  per- 
haps 25,000  more,  have  to  be  fed. 
it  will  soon  be  made  manifest  that  herein  lies 
the  fatal  weakness  of  the  rebel  capital,  and  that 
Gen.  Grant  has  thoroughly  comprehended  it 
from  the  beginning  of  this  masterly 

As  for  any  apprehensions  of  another  Northern 
venture  by  Gen.  Lee,  we  think  they  will  be 
dismissed  by  the  intelligent  reader  upon  the 
simple  statement  of  the  facta,  that  the  rail- 
roads between  Richmond  and  Washington  have 
been  so  thoroughly  broken  up  that  it  will  re- 
quire months  of  labor  to  repair  them  ;  that  the

A  Visit  to  a  Fortuneteller. 

BY  T,TT,T,TR  DEVEKEDX  TJMSTED. 

Kosa  Templeton  sat  alone  in  her  room,  her 
face  buried  in  her  hands,  her  heart  lost  in  a  mel- 
ancholy reverie.  She  was  a  young  woman— only 
twenty-three— fan-  to  look  upon  too,  and  yet  she 
had  already  endured  such  suffering  as  does  not 
often  afflict  one  person  in  the  course  of  a  whole 
life.  Three-  years  ago  she  had  been  as  happy  a 
creature  as  ever  lived;  tlio  idolised  darling  of  a 
home  where  her  lightest  will  was  law,  with  two 
fond  parents,  a  stalwart  brothernnd  a  sweet  young 
sister  to  make  up  the  happy  family  ; 


respected  and  esteemed,  herself  the  reigning  hello 
of  the  town,  a  favorite  with  her  young  companions 
and  adored  by  the  young  men,  her  position  was 
indeed  an  enviable  one,  and  she  had  enjoyed  it  to 
the  full ;  naturally  of  a  bright  aid  cheerful  dis- 
position, the  present  had  been  all  sunshine,  and 
the  future  had  seemed  all  promise.  The  first 
shadow  came  in  the  failure  of  her  mother's  health, 
but  just  as  this  trial  began  a  new  delight  arose 
that  made  even  this  threatened  sorrow  for  the 
time  seem  impossible— Rosa  fell  in  love.  She  had 
had  a  score  of  suitors  with  whom  she  had  laughed, 
and  perhapB  sometimes  flirted,  but  not  one  had 
touched  her  heart,  until  she  met  Robert  Marcn- 
mont.  From  the  moment  when  she  first  saw  his 
handsome,  manly  face,  and  looked  into  m'B  ear- 
nest eves,  up  to  the  time  when  he  whispered  to 
her  his'  strong,  deep  love,  it  was  all  a  wild  delight- 
ful dream,  and  life  was  such  a  golden  aspect  that 
sorrow  and  death  seemed  the  greatest  unrealities. 
But  almost  immediately  after  her  happy  engage-

lover.     Robert  v

what  that  foolish  woman  had  said.  Yet,  still  firm 
in  that  reliance  on  a  higher  power  that  bad  never 
deserted  her,  she  tried  to  struggle  bravely  on. 

It  was  Sunday,  a  mild,  pleasant  spring  day, 
rather  more  than  a  week  after  Rosa's  visit  to 
Madame  Beam,  and  the  sisters  were  coming  home 
from  the  quiet  church  which  they  were  in  the 
habit  of  attending.  Then-  way  lay  for  a  short  dis- 
tance through  Fifth  avenue,  and  they  were  hurry- 
ing along  the  crowded  thoroughfare  which  was 
now  anything  but  the  favorite  promenade  it  had 
once  been  to  Rosa.  She  bad  her  veil  down,  the 
crape  veil  she  still  wore  for  her  brother's  death, 
but  it  was  not  so  thick  but  that  her  handsome 
features  could  be  seen  through  it  clearly  enough 
to  ebcit  some  admiring  glances  from  the  gay 
loungers.  But  this  was  a  sort  of  homage  no 
longer  pleasing,  and  Rosa  hurried  on  and  bad 
almost  reached  the  cross  street  leading  to  her 
home  when  she  caught  a  glimpse  of  a  face  that  ac- 
tually for  an  instaut  held  her  spellbound  whero 
she  stood.  Yes,  there  was  Robert  Marchmont! 
She  knew  him  at  once,  though  ;  he  looked  older, 
and  he  was  bronzed  and  bearded— he  waa  coming 
directly  towards  her,  and  on  his  arm  leaned  a 
beautiful  and  elegantly  dressed  woman. 

Poor  Rosa,  to  save  her  life  she  could  not  stir  for 
one  wild  moment,  while  all  the  blood  in  her  body 
rushed  to  her  heart  and  left  her  pale  and  trembling. 
Where  was  her  pride  and  her  dignity  ?

not  help  making  glad.

him.  It  was  good  fun  to  set  you  all  wondering.

"No,"  said  Elsie,  shaking  her  head,  "I  tried 
my  best  to  get  away  from  it  all,  but  it  was  of  no

Eichmond^-'Wliat  Progress  and  What  is 
the  Prospect. 

Simce  onr  last  review  of  the  military  situation 
in  Virginia,  another  memorable  and  important 
chapter  of  sanguinary  battles,  heroic  achieve- 
ments and  masterly  strategy  has  been  added 
to  the  glorious  history  of  our  veteran  Army  of 
the  Potomac.  The  practical  questions,  how- 
ever, which  we  arc  required  to  answer  are,  what 
actual  progress  has  been  made  towards  the  re- 
duction of  the  rebel  capital?  and  what  is  the 
prospect  now  before  us?     Sanguinary  battles 


involve  a  great  waste  of  human  life,  heroic 

achievements  signify  nothing,  and  masterly 
strategy  is  foolishness  without  substantial  re- 
sults. What,  therefore,  has  Gen.  Grant  gained 
from  his  last  seven  days  of  battles  and  strategic 
operations  ?  and  what  are  the  advantages  con- 
templated? and  what  is  the  prospect  from  his 
last  bold  movement  by  the  left  flank  ?  Let  us 
briefly  endeavor  to  answer. 

First,  towards  the  reduction  of  Richmond 
and  the  rebel  army  defending  it,  an  important 
point  has  been  gained  by  Gen.  Grant  in  the 
actual  occupation,  south  of  Petersburg,  of  the 


Weldon,  Wilmington  ancl  Charleston  railroad, 
the  principal  artery  through  which  Richmond 
draws   its   supplies   and    Lee    his    reinforce- 

catiou  between  the  rebel  capital  and  the  States 
beyond  Virginia  supporting  it  is  the  interior 
Danville  road,  which,  if  not  occupied  by  our 
forces,  soon  will  be,  and  in  the  meantime  has 
been  seriously  interrupted  by  our  cavalry  ex- 
peditions in  that  direction.  It  must  not  be 
forgotten  that  Gen.  Grant,  from  the  beginning 
of  this  Virginia  campaign,  has  been,  and  is 
now,  acting  mirier  the ' 


and  the  rebel  army  defending  it  may  W 
iviuldv  uud  elie;i]>ily  overcome  by  cutti 
their  lines  of  supplies  than  by  storim 
laying  siege  to  the  city's  extensive  and  i\ 
able  chain  of  defences.  He  believes, 
believe,  that  Gen.  Lee,  if  reduced  to  th 
sistence  stores  of  Richmond,  will  smxib. 
pelled  to  abandon  the  city,  or  to  make  a 
from  his  entrenchments  to  reopen  his 
iiiuniciitiims.  rind  Hint,  in  either  ense.  ill

to  the  present  time,  the  great  object  and  Jhe 
great  difficulty  of  the  distinguished  leader  of 
the  Union  armies  has  been  to  bring  his  wily 
Virginia  adversary  to  the  issue  of  an  open  field 
engagement.  Thus  far,  however,  the  enemy 
have  avoided  this  danger,  and  from"  the  Rapi- 
dan to  the  Appomattox  have  compelled  Gen. 
Grant  to  accept  battle  under  heavy  disadvant- 
ages  in  every  instance,  or  from  point  ' 
to  dislodge  them  by  a  flank  movement,  which, 
to  an  inferior  army  under  an  ordinary 
would  have  been  certain  destruction.

the  task  of  comforting  and  administering  to  per- 
sona of  advanced  age  ;  and  the  object  of  her  special 
care  and  aij&ntion  is  now  an  old  man  who  is  ob- 
liged to  live  in  perfect  seclusion,  and  who,  from 
the  manner— so  I  am  told— in  which  he  speaks  of 
women  in  general,  of  his  own  wife,  and  of  C^cile 
too,  probably  cannot  bo  a  person  of  any  refinement 
or  respectability.  Believe  me,  it  is  idle  in  the  ex- 
treme to  offer  &  true  devotion  to  a  woman  with 


worldly  estimation  of  the  young  girl's  character.

The  marquis  had  waited  long  when  the  cheva- 
lier's carriage  made  its  appearance,  and  Dame- 
court  hastened!  to  arrange  preliminaries.  After  a 
long  conversation  with  Robert,  in  which  he  related 
the  particulars  which  Rieux  had  just  communi- 
cated concerning  the  evening  visits  of  the  young 
girl,  he  succeeded  bo  far  in  prejudicing  Robert's 
mind  that  the  two  combatants  decided  to  with- 
draw alter  the  first  wound,  and  the  marquis  hav- 
ing disabled  Robert  in  the  ann,  the  two  left  the 
field  friends  instead  of  enemies.  It  was  then  de- 
cided they  should  watch  Cecile  the  following  night, 
and  that  the  marquis  should  call  for  Robert  in  his 
carriage. 

"  I  will  not  see  her  again  except  in  your  pres- 
ence, chevalier,"  the  marquis  said,  "unless,"  he 
added,  "  Cecile  sends  me  my  portrait,  then,  you 
know,  the  honor  of  a  gentleman  demands  I  should 
acknowledge  its  reception." 

"Your  portrait!"  repeated  Robert,  ahnoet 
ashamed  at  the  recollection  of  the  violent  act  of 
which  he  had  been  guilty.  "  I  advise  you,  marquis, 
not  to  expect  it,  i'cr  I  was  before  you  in  taking  my

Mr.  Woodworth  left  Elton  soon  after.  He  boasted 
that  he  had  conquered  the  coquette  and  tamed  the

As  for  Aunt  Mary,  it  seemed  for  a  while  as  if  the 
iron  fingers  of  Despondency  were  feeling  for  the 
very  Bprings  of  life.  But  affliction  begat  reflection, 
and  reflection  resolution  ;  and,  carrying  out  her 
high  purpose,  "  she  sat  at  the  feet  Of  Jesus,"  and 
learned  of  Him  who  was  "meek  and  lowly  of 
heart. "  and  wcm.  abom  LLlVs  great  v.nrk.  so  long

absorbing,  that  she  had  no  time  for  sickly  senti- 
mentality, no  tinm  to  resign  herself  to  the  woes  of 
hopeless  love,  so  sho  was  happy— happy  in  doing 
her  duty,  happy  in  making  others  happy,  the 
highest  kind  of  happiness.

This,  "the  month  of  roses,"  is  just  the  time 
to  visit  Rose  Cottage  ;  it  could  not  have  received  a 
more  appropriate  name.  Twenty  varieties  of  the 
queen  of  flowers  are  in  full  bloom,  and  the  cottage 
itself  is  nearly  covered  with  running  roses,  the 
pure  white  beautifully  contrasting  with  velvet  red 
and  delicate  pink.    Aunt  Mary  stands  at  the  door

not  immediately  reply  to  the  summons,  and  the

with  the  propriety  of  the  change,  and  felt  happi

wassurprised,  received  a  vague  impression  that  the

was  nearly  frantic,  and  Eli'stone's  great  pity  for 
him  alone  preserved  the  old  man  from  relapsing 
into  Iub  former  lamentable  condition.  Bertram, 
after  having  hardly  eaten  or  slept  at  all  for  a  week 
and  more,  had  just  returned  from  a  long  and  boot- 
less journey,  fatigued  and  despairing,  and  had 
fallen,  from  Bheer  exhaustion  into  an  uneasy 
slumber  in  the  library,  when  Marina  arrived  at

The  young  clergyman,  with  some  adrc

was  Bertram's,  not  the  statue's,  hand  that  trem- 
bled when  the  bridegroom  put  the  ring  upon  the 
fourth  finger  of  the  bride's  left  hand.  Still  more 
agitated  he  grew  when,  at  the  minister's  injunction 
of  "Let  us  pray!"  the  statue  knelt  beside  him. 
At  the  conclusion  of  the  prayer,  when  the  priest 
joined  their  right  hands  together,  he  felt  the  pres- 
sure of  his  own  clasp  returned,  and  all  tho  horror 
of  his  dream  came  back  upon  him.  The  same

"I  make  no  pretension  to  the  character."

Marina  called  to  the  little  dog  that  followed  her,

presented  the  Little  creature  to  Bertram.

"  I  am  satisfied.     She  has  done  me  great  •

Grimgrip  sank  back  into  his    chair,  like  <

"Do  you  wish  me  to  bring  madauie  here  ?" 

"  God  forbid  1  is  she  so  near?" 

"  She  is  still  in  France." 

"Did  she  Bend  you  to  me?" 

"  I  come  with  her  assent." 

"  What  for  ?" 

"  Her  daughter." 

"Her  daughter?    Why,  you  just  told  me  ; 

"  So  I  believe  I  am,  but  I  mean  her  daugh

"Muta,  her  daughter?" 

"Certainly.    Would  she  were  not  so!"

Grimgrip,  in  the  excitement  and  bewilderment

Grimgrip  was  not  long  encumbered  with  such 
presence,  but  when  Muta  and  Marina  were  gone, 
instead  of  experiencing  relief,  the  sense  of  his 
desolation,  defeat  and  disgrace  fell  upon  him  with 
crashing  weight,  as  if  it  had  only  been  suspended 
till  they  were  out  of  sight.  The  wretch  he  was  he

sniffing  and  scratching  during  the  interview  be-

"  Keen  as'your  mother,"  observed  he,  contem- 
plating Marina  with  extorted  admiration,  "keen 
as  she,  and  still  more  beautiful.  Take  your  sister, 
for  she  is  half  that  at  least.     My  game  is  up." 

He  rose  from  his  seat  sluggishly,  lit  a  lamp, 
pressed  hard  upon  a  spring  which  caused  the  con- 
cealed door  to  fly  open,  revealing  another  bolted 
and  locked,  which,  when  opened  inward,  discov- 


by  the  spaniel,  descended.  He  led  the  way  through 
a  low  narrow  passage,  and  emerged  into  a  broad 
and  higher  part  of  the  cavern,  dimly  lighted 
through  crevices  in  the  rock,  and  by  a  fire  smoul-

fast  aaleep.  The  little  spaniel  bounded  towards 
the  sleeper,  leaped  upon  the  bed,  and  commenced 
to  liek  her  hand.  Muta,  for  it  was  she,  opened 
her  large  blue  eyes,  and  her  gaze  encountered 
that  of  Marina,  who  was  bending  over  her.    Muta

459— Vol.  XVIII.] 


NEW    YORK,    JULY    16,    1864. 


The  Resignation  of  Mr.  Secretary  Chase- 
Our  Financial  Difficulties. 

Tue  startling— because  wholly  unexpected- 
announcement  from  Washington  on  Thursday 
last,  of  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Chase,  as  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury,  and  the  appointment 
of  Ex-Governor  David  Tod,  of  Ohio,  to  fill  his 
place,  instantly  created  a  more  painful  and 
profound  sensation  in  New  York  than  any 
tidings  for  a  long  time  of  any  disaster  to  the 
national  cause.  Men  of  all  parties,  and  all 
istinetively  to  inquire 


other — why  has  Mr.  Chase  resigned  at  this 
critical  period  in  our  financial  affairs  ?  Has 
lie  abandoned  the  heavy  tusk  imposed  upon 
him  of  sustaining  the  national  credit  and  cur- 
rency in  despair  ?  Or  have  political  difficul- 
ties among  the  members  of  the  Cabinet,  which 
we  had  supposed  were  adjusted,  broken  out 
afresh,  and  precipitated  this  resignation  ?  If 
so,  may  we  not  anticipate  a  general  breaking 
up  and  reconstruction  of  the  Cabinet,  with 
every  probability  of  more  serious  embarrass- 
ments than  ever  in  the  working  of  the  Gov- 
?    And  who  is  this  Mr. 


Treasury?  What  does  ah  this  mean ?  With 
the  present  fearful  depreciation  and  still  down- 
ward tendency  of  our  paper  currency,  are  we 
not  hastening  to  a  sweeping  financial  collapse 
and  revulsion  ? 

These  were  among  the  many  difficult  ques- 
tions suggested  by  this  startling  news  of  the 
official  retirement  of  Mr.  Chase,  and  the  ap- 
pointment of  Mr.  Tod,  of  Ohio,  in  his  place. 
encouraging  answers  at 


hand  from  any  quarter.  There  was  nothing 
consoling  in  the  statement  that  Mr.  Chase  had 
resigned,  because  Congress  and  the  President 
had  failed  to  support  him  ;  nor  in  the  allega- 
tion that  Mr.  Chase  did  not  expect  his  resigna- 
tion to  be  accepted.  Doubts,  distrust  and 
despondency  prevailed,  and  gold,  that  invisible 
standard  by  which  the  grocer,  the  baker  and 
the  butcher  make  their  advances,  from  day  to 
day,  went  up  with  a  new  momentum  that  was 
positively  appalling.  Mr.  Tod's  declination  of 
iln-  Tiv:>-nrv.  and  the  appointment  ("

On,  once  the  Southron's  talk  was  hold  ; 

He  vaunted  well  his  fair  estate, 
ITis  liiillilnl  slaves,  his  mansion  old, 

His  heart  that  burned  for  love  or  hate.  - 
"  But  spare  our  rights?"  the  North  replied, 

""With  nqiiiil  worth  ye  hnve  to  deal!" 
"Up!  fire  the  Southern  heart!"  ho  cried, 

"We'll  teach  these  Yankees  how  to  kneel. 
The  Southern  heaTt  begins  to  beat. 
We'll  drop  the  whip,  well  grasp  the 


Then  brought  he  forth  his  stolen  gnus, 
With  boastful  speech  and  daring  oath  ; 

He  laughed  to  scorn  our  brawny  eons— 
"So  prone  to  toil-to  fight  so  loth  !" 

Our  Northmen  laid  their  tools  aside, 


The  Southern  heart  begins  to  burn  ; 

Our  lordly  nature  we'll  assert ; 
Come,  Yankees,  one  and  all,  but  lean

O  brnggurt  Southron,  wail  the  day 
When  Treason  thus  in  arms  did  start! 

For  flames  that  rowed  o'er  Charleston  bay 
Swept  on,  and  fired— the  Northern  heart ! 

Then  flashed  the  sun  on  serried  steel, 
Then  Northern  words  were  prond  to  hear

Cecile,  protected,  though  against  herwi 
the  family  of  the  marquis,  had  easily  gained 
admission  to  the  royal  Abbey  de  Notre  Dame  du 
Val  de  Grace.  She  refused  to  see  both  the  cheva- 
lier and  the  marquis. 

All  the  good  doctor's  discernment  could  nol 
penetrate  the  secrets  of  that  young  heart.  He 
still  believed  her  wholly  occupied  by  the  chevalier, 
whose  letter,  cruel  and  unkind  as  it  was,  had,  for 
a  time,  placed  a  barrier  between  them.  Sanguine 
himself,  he  still  en corn-aged  Robert  to  hope,  and 
the  marquis,  who  now  sincerely  desired  the  suc- 
cess of  his  former  rival,  and  had  not  the  least 
suspicion  that  he  held  any  place  in  Cecile's  heart, 
or  influenced  her  determination,  did  all  in  his 
power  to  inspire  the  chevalier  with  confidence  in 
the  ultimate  accomplishment  of  his  wishes.

niithful  imagination.  The  good  father  con-

her  kie-i-  iu  prayer:

And  now  the  eventful  day  has  come  at  last.  The 
hells  of  the  royal  abbey  gaily  announce  the  mystic 
marriage  of  ChriBt's  new  bride.  The  large  outer 
court  of  the  convent  of  Val  de  Grace  is  tilled  with 
splendid  equipages  ;  the  candidate  for  the  veil  is 
young  and  beautiful ;  the  officiating  priest  who 
will  address  her  and  offer  the  consolations  of  the 
church  is  noted  for  Iub  thrilling  eloquence,  and 
the  Maucomble  family  has  left  nothing  undone  to 


ceremony  grand  and  imposing.  It  is 
,  and  the  snow  is  falling  thick  and  last. 
A  traveller,  wrapped  in  a  large  mantle,  was  walking 
with  difficulty  up  tho  Rue  St.  Jacques.  He 
stopped  near  the  abbey,  and  listened  to  the  soleinu 
knell  which  mingled  with  the  festal  chiming  of  the 
bells. 

"  I  have  kept  my  promise,"  he  said,  speaking 
to  himself,  "  and  have  now  but  one  regret— which 
is,  that  I  have  deceived  the  good  doctor  in  mak-

terribly  for  his  prey  than  did  they.  Two  boats

learned  that  her  putative  father,  Gregory 
Grimgrip,  had,  many  years  before,  carried  on  a 
trade  between  England  and  France,  paying  half- 
ally,  and  had  met  her  mother,  Mathilde  Nitouche, 
in  Normandy,  of  which  province  she  was  a  native. 
She  was  very  beautiful  and  very  poor,  an  orphan, 
and  earned  her  scanty  subsistence  with  her  needle. 
Gregory  paid  his  addresses  to  her,  and  by  moans 
of  his  rich  presents  and  the  dazzling  illusions  of 
wealth  overcame  her  repugnance  to  his  ugliness, 
and  married  her.  Disparity  of  age,  of  looks,  of 
tastes  and  feeling,  rendered  the  match  a  very 
unequal,  and,  eventually,  a  very  unhappy  one. 
Mathilde  endeavored  to  console  herself  for  conju- 
gal deficiencies  by  dressing  splendidly  and  sur- 
rounding herseh"  with  handsome  young  gallants, 
to  whom  she  was  suspected  of  granting  favors  ho- 


lier lendercsf  regard.  To  remove  his  wife  from 
theh  society,  Gregory  took  up  his  residence  in 
France,  but  his  frequent  and  necessary  absence 
from  home  at  once  exposed  his  fair  partner  to 
temptation  and  aggravated  his  own  jealousy.  His

NEW    YORK,    JULY    23,    1864. 


The  late  Rebel  Raid  into  Maryland. 

The  authorities  and  people  of  tlie  Maryland 
find  Pennsylvania  border,  Baltimore  and 
Washington,  have  just  been  favored  with  a 
surprise  party,  which  will  not  soon  be  for- 
gotten. Had  the  daring  rebel  invading  column, 
which  so  unexpectedly  streamed  over  the 
Potomac  the  other  day,  and  over  all  the  roads 
U'mliiii;  to  Frederick  city,  com* 
ground,  or  dropped  down  from 
ronl.'l  hardly  have  created  more 
confusion  and  alarm.  There  had  been  abun- 
dant and  timely  warning  given  of  its  approach, 
its  strength  and  its  purposes ;  but  the  facta 

and  wild  inventions,  that  until  the  sanguinary 
battle  with  and  defeat  of  Gen.  Wallace  on  the 
Monocacy  river,  it  was  impossible  to  tell 
whether  the  invading  forces  of  the  enemy  fell 
short  of  1,500  men,  or  exceed  twice  15,000. 
How  is  this  mystery  to  be  explained  ?     Hen 


his    fancied    security    at     Martmslmr;:. 
drove  him  down    Mm  river  to  Haipcr':-:  F< 
and  thence  across  to  the  Maryland  Hei-ld 
safety  ?    Let  us  briefly  answer  these  questi 
It  was  as  but  a  few  days  ago  that  we  ■ 
rejoicing  over  the  capture  of  Staunton,  U 
150  miles  up  the  great  valley  of  Virginia,  from 
Martinsburg.     Hmrter  bad  cleared  the  valley  of 
the  enemy  to.the  very  sources  of  the  Shenandoah 
nv.-.i,  ;m<!  v.us  still    ptureuiiig  them,  scattering 
them  from  Stnunton  right  end  left,  ho  priced 


i'ii.  without  a  provision  train  and  without 
depot  or  base  of  supplies,  to  Lynchburg. 
There  he  was  repulsed ;  and  from  the  heavy 
converging  detachments  of  the  enemy  sent  for- 


F,  and  that  a  re- 
i  Kenowha  rive* 
and  thence  to  the  Ohio,  was  his  only  chance  ot 
escape.  Accordingly  he  passed  over  the  west- 
era  mountain  boundary  of  the  great  valley,  and 
so  to  the  rebel  forces  sent  against  him  that 
valley  was  left  completely  open  from  Staunton 
down  to  the  Potomac.  The  opportunity  thus 
offered  for  a  dashing  surprise  to  the  Mary- 
landers  and  Father  Abraham  was  too  tempting 
to  be  resisted.  Between  Staunton  and  Martins- 
burg not  a  man,  as  it  appears,  had  been  left  of 
our  forces  to  watch  and  report  the  enemy's 
movements.  And  yet,  from  various  sources, 
including  Gen.  Grant,  timely  warnings  were 
given  to  our  Federal  authorities  at  Washington 
and  our  loyal  border  States  directly  concerned, 
to  enable  them  to  make  the  needful  prepara- 
tions for  a  decisive  settlement  with  Enrly  ami 
company,  with  their  landing  on  the  Maryland 
side  of  the  Potomac.  Why  this  was  not  done 
it  is   needless  now  to   explain.     Nor  would  it 


the  responsibility   of  Gen.    Hunter,    the  War 
Office,  or  Gen.  Grant,  or  anybody  else. 

We  turn,  therefore,  to  the  inquiries.  Does 
not  the  Northern  diversion  of  a  large  force 
from  Lee's  army  afford  a  splendid  opportunity 
to  Gen.  Grant  to  move  upon  Petersburg,  or 
around  the  city  upon  Richmond,  and  why  does

mutined,  and  the  stringent  arm  of  the  law  had 
seized  the  transgressors.  But  what  has  effected 
John  ?  See  1  he  is  pale  aB  death,  and  large  drops 
ol  perspiration  stand  like  beads  upon  his  fore- 
head. Three  times  he  attempts  to  rise;  at  last,

eyes  of  the  long-severed  friends  so  singularly  re- 
united. The  judge  seeing  the  commotion  inquired 
the  cause.     Stepping  up  to  him,  John  explained 

and  wave  of  the  hand,  told  him  his  friend  was

not  a  participator  in  the  mutiny.  Arm-in-arm

the  explanation.  He  had  been  one  of  the  fortun-

turning vessel,  feeding  unwilling  to  wait  for  the 
Martha.  When  a  short  time  out,  a  portion  of  the 
crew,  headed  by  the  second  mate,  hud  connived

to  cold-blooded  murder,  they  had,  upon  conquer-

burg,  by  half  the  army  of  Lee,  during  the  time 
required  for  this  expedition  ;  or  if  Gen.  Grant 
should  swing  round  again  to  the  north  side  of 
Richmond,  he  could  be  held  there  for  several 
weeks  before  the  forts  encircling  the  city  by  a 
comparatively  small  force  Becurely.  The 
Union  forces  of  Gen.  Hunter,  driven  west- 
ward from  the  Shenandoah  valley,  hadleftit  open 
down  to  the  Maryland  border,  and  likewise  the 
country  eastoftheBlue  ridge,  between  Gordons- 
ville  and  Manassas.  In  the  next  place,  the 
enemy  were  well  informed  of  the  comparatively 
unprotected  condition  of  Washington  ;  that  its 
defences  were  thinly  occupied  by  troops,  and 
that  these  were  mostly  inexperienced  militia, 
or  raw  100  day  volunteers.  Putting  all  these 
inviting  facts  together,  a  less  vigilant,  skilful 
and  daring  soldier  than  Gen.  Lee  would  have 
Been  and  seized  the  opportunity  for  a  bold 
movement  against  our  national  capital.  There 
was  some  risk  ;  hut  there  was  a  fine  opening 
for  a  success  which  would  secure  at  once  to 
the  rebellion    the  intervention  of  France  and 


were  not  lost  upon  Gen.  Lee.  The  forces  of 
Early  and  Breckinridge,  at  least  35,000  men 
all  told,  mainly  detailed  from  Richmond  to 
head  off  and  capture  or  disperse  the  army  of 
Gen.  Hunter,  after  his  retirementfrom  Lynch- 
burg, were  already  well  on  their  journey  to- 
wards "Washington,  when  they  had  driven 
him  away.  Hunter's  army,  meantime,  moving 
off  for  the  Ohio  river,  had  become  as  useless 
to  us  in  this  emergency  as  if  it  had  been  re- 
moved to  Oregon.  There  appeared  to  he  every 
prospect  of  success  to  this  daring.rebel  enter- 
prise. The  only  chance  of  a  failure  was  in  the 
probability  of  relief  to  Washington  from  Grant's 
army,  but  there  was  also  the  probability  that 
even  this  relief  might  come  in  too  late.  In  any 
.  it  would  give  at  least  a  temporary  relief 


Tiie  grand  design  against  Washington  was 
promptly  put  into  execution.  Breckinridge 
andhis  column  of  infantry,  artillery  and  cavalry, 
20,000  strong,  wholly  unobstructed,  swept 
rapidly  down  the  Shenandoah  valley  to  the 
Potomac,  driving  Sigel  from  Martinsburg  to 
the  northern  heights  overlooking  Harper's 
Ferry,  and  sweeping  broadcast  into  Maryland 
without  further  resistance.  Early,  meantime, 
moved  across  the  country,  east  of  the  Bine 
ridge,  and  crossing  the  fords  of  the  Upper 
Potomac,  some  25  or  30  miles  above  Washing- 
ington,  was,  with  at  least  a  portion  of  his 
forces,  advancing  upon  the  city,  while  Gen. 
Wallace  was  engaged  with  Breckinridge  on  the 
Monocacy.  '  Wallace,  borne  down  by  over- 
whelming numbers,  and  flanked  on  his  left, 
retired  upon  Baltimore,  and  thus  even  his 
body  of  troops  were  detached  from  the  defence 
of  Washington.  This  was  on  Saturday  even- 
ing, the  9th  instant,  40  miles  north  of  the 
oity  ;  and  yet,  on  Monday  evening,  it  appears 
Breckinridge,  with  his  main  column,  had  joined 
Early  in  front  of  the  city's  northern  defences. 
This  was  rapid  marching,  after  a  day's  fighting, 
for  iufantry  that  had  been  making  such  forced 
marches  for  m'any  days.  It  appears,  further, 
that  Gen.  Early  was  urged  by  some  of  his 
subordinates  to  try  the  experiment  of  dashing 
into  the  city  on  Monday  evening,  and  that,  from 


ing  that  he  had 
lost  his  golden  opportunity. 

The  events  which  have  followed  we  need  not 
here  repeat.  It  will  suffice  that*  in  feeling  the 
pulse  oft  he  Washington  defences,  Early,  Breck- 
inridge and  company  were  convinced  that  in  the 
main  object  of  their  mission  they  had  failed, 
and  that  the  only  alternative  left  them  was 
to  gather  up  their  scattered  marauding  de- 
tachments, and  return  to  Virginia  with  their 
plunder.  By  a  lucky  succession  of  advantages 
on  coming  in,  they  were  enabled  to  reach  the 
heart  of  Maryland  without  resistance  ;  and  but 
for  the  check  they  suffered  on  the  Monocacy, 
they  might  have  succeeded,  as  a  surprise  party, 
in  getting  into  Washington.  In  that  battle  on 
the  Monocacy,  though  defeated,  Gen.  Wallace 
rendered,  in  our  judgment,  incalculable  service 
to  the  country.  He  delayed  in  that  fight  the 
enemy's  advance  upon  Washington  a  whole 
day,  and  gained  such  conclusive  information 
of  the  enemy's  strength  and  designs,  as  to  be 
enabled  to  give  to  the  War  Office  a  seasonable 
and  explicit  warning  of  the  impending  danger. 

We  have  escapedagreat  disaster;  but  neither 
the  Government  nor  the  Border  States  of  Mary- 
land and  Pennsylvania  can  put  in  even  a  plausi- 
ble excuse  for  neglecting  those  precautions 
whereby  this  destructive  foray  might  have  been 
crushed  on  the  banks  of  the  Potomac.  We 
have  the  right,  in  behalf  of  the  National  cause, 
and  take  the  liberty  to  demand  of  the  Admin- 
istration and  of  the  States  directly  concerned, 
that  tins  late  disgraceful  rebel  invasion  shall

"Why,  Grace,  you  sly  little  puss!  I  protest 
I  shall  keep  a  lookout  for  your  doings  after  this. 
Oh,  you  neeod't  look  up  so  innocent,  I  know  you;" 
aud  Hary  Lee  pinched  licr  friend's  shoulder  and 
kissed  her  cheek. 

Grace  gavo  a  little  scream  at  the  pinch,  and 
then  asked  with  a  puzzled  look : 

'*  What  in  the  world  do  you  mean,  Mary?" 

"  Oh,  very  well,  my  dear— that's  right ;  put  on

"I  hope  I  have  a  little  more  common  charity

"  You  and  Albert  always  were  such  good  Mends,

him  with  {ho  presence  of  a  third  party  when  he 
wants  to  say  pretty  things  to  the  girl  of  his  heart. 
Good-bye." 

Albert  paid  the  promised  visit  to  his  pretty  be- 
trothed that  evening  ;  and  though  perhapB  it  re- 
quired the   rye   of  love   to  see  a"  "

down  to  look  out  on  the  quiet  street  and  the  bright 
cold  stars  in  the  dark  blue  sky.  Sho  had  a  faint 
hope  that  she  might  catch  another  glimpse  o' 
Albert ;  she  knew  that  in  story-books  lovers  often 

catch  the  glimmer  of  light  through  tho  shutters, 
and  why  shouldn't  Albert?  He  was  certainly  as 
much  in  love  as  the  most  romantic  hero  ccnld  be; 
but  after  looking  out  on  the  still  night,  and  Ihink- 
ing  how  very  quiet  the  street  was,  for  something 
more  than  half  an  hour,  she  was  going  to  pull  the 
curtain  down  and  go  to  bed  when—

and  tottered  over  to  the  bed,  and  there  she  lay  for 
the  long  weary  hours  before  the  dawn,  cold,  hearts 
sore  and  sleepless. 

And  this  was  the  man  nhe  had  so  tenderly  loved? 
False  to  her  and— 

She  dared  not  think  of  the  rest ;  he 
whirled,  and  she  felt  like  madness  wh 
Hfrom.'  n  turned  to  her.  Vainly  she  tried  t 
it  was  all  a  hideous  nightmare.     She  won 


l  still  buna  d,  never  h  lung  been 
turned  down  since  she  entered  her  room  ;  and  she 
lay,  dressed  aB  she  had  been  all  that  happy  even- 
ing before— the  rose-colored  dress  he  had  admired 
all  crushed,  and  the  pretty  head-dress  ho  had 
himself  brought  her  crumpled  and  spoiled.  But 
the  bright,  happy  heart  she  had  carried  up  with 
her  from  the  little  parlor  was  ruined  worse  than 
all— never,  never  could  it  come  back  to  her— 
broken,  bleeding,  dying  it  lay  in  her  heavy  bosom, 
a  ml  she  telt  an  though  it,  hud  been  exchanged  for 


awful  secret  within  her  own  breast,  and  none  must 
guess  that  it  was  hidden  there.  She  bathed  her 
pallid  face  and  swollen  eyelids  in  cologne,  and 
exchanged  her  last  night'B  attire  for  a  pretty 
morning  toilette  ;  but  all  her  efforts  could  not 
conceal  the  ravages  of  that  one  night  of  sleepless 
pain.  She  had  been  too  blooming  and  rosy  to 
puss  unquestioned  when  she  presented  herself  at 
the  brealefast  table,  listless,  pair  and  haggard. 

"  Why,  Grace,  dear,  are  you  ill?"  was  the  first 
question  that  greeted  her. 

'•  Something  ails  > 
fully.  I  hope  you  a 
rolling." 

Grata-  gasped,  and  [houghl   slm  would  o 


"Indeed,  no.  mama.  We  parted  the  best  o 
friends.  But  I  didn't  have  a  good  night's  rest 
and  you  know  I  can't  live  without  sleep." 

"And  why  should    you  sleep    badly,    Grace' 


Won't  you   please    give   me   a   oup— now— this 

minute.    I  think  it  will  do  me  good." 

Mrs,  Farnham  passed  the  cup  of  coffee  without 
■  farther  remark,  and  Grace  gulped  it  down  afc  the 
-isk  ol'sealding  and  choking  herBelf. 

Unable  to  appear  like  her  natural  self,  Grace  at 
last  acknowledged  that  she  was  not  well,  and  on 
that  plea  spent  the  greater  part  of  the  day  in  her 
own  room.  It  was  a  relief  to  eeoape  the  gaze  of 
anxious  friends,  although  the  task  she  had  set 
herself  was  a  hard  one.  But  it  was  impossible 
after  what  she  had  seen  that  ever  she  could  he 
the  wife  of  Edmonds,  so  with  a  dreary  heart  she 
selected   all  the    little    gifts— the   pretty  little 

she  thought  li 


s  obliged  to  meet  Edmonds  wain  an  affectation  of 
r  usual  manner  ;  but  she  was  a  poor  hand  at

"Grace  was  ill  in  the  morning,  but  I  think  she 
feels  better  now.  I  meant  to  have  told  you  so, 
and  that  reminds  me  I  called  at  your  rooms,  but 
was  told  you  hadn't  been  home  last  night  at  all." 

Grace  gave  a  wild  look  at  the  face  she  had  so 
loved  to  gaze  upon,  and  saw  thai,  Edmund?  be- 
trayed evident  confusion,  though  he  rallied  im-

Grace  looked  at  him  with  an  e 
ror.    Such  brazen  effrontery  appalled  her ; 
disgusted  her. 

"  Dear  heaven !  And  this  is  the  man  I  loved  1" 
she  said.     "  Go  away— go  away,  sir  ;  leave  me  I" 

"I  will  leave  you,  Grace,  and  you  may  thank 
yourself  for  it.  It  isn't  in  human  patience  to  bear 
what  I  have  received  from  you  to-night.  I  never 
will  enter  this  house  again  till  you  send  for  me, 
and  so,  good-bye  ;"  and  with  a  slight  bow  he  left 
the  room  with  a  haughty  step. 

It  soon  became  known  in  the  family—though 
Grace  only  told  her  mother— that  all  was  over  be- 
tween her  and  Albert ;  and  it  was  pretty  genera  My

once  or  twice  since,  they  had  exchanged  neither

father,  who  was  familiar  with  the  country,  pointed 
out  all  its  beauties,  and  weeing  with  pleasure  the 
effect  it  had  upon  her,  he  used  all  his  information 
to  entertain  his  pale  little  girl,  and  make  the  jour- 
ney pleasant.  •  At  the  station  Mr.  Farnham  found 
his  brother  and  a  carriage  waiting  for  them  ;  and 
as  they  were  driven  towards  his  house,  somerades 
in  the  country,  the  gentle  April  breezes,  and  the 
delicious  odor  of  the  grass  did  more  to  restore  the 
roses  to  Grace's  cheeks,  Mr.  Farnham  declared,

Grace  had  not  been  in  New  Hampshire  more 
than  a  month  before  the  desired  effect  began  to 
show  itself ;  either  the  violence  of  her  sorrow  was 
worn  out,  or  new  scenery,  conversation  and  occu-

ujjjided  of  another  sad  wvening  when  she  had  been 
so  employed.  It  was  a  mild,  sweet  night ;  she  had 
no  lamp,  but  the  momdigbt  streaming  in  through 
ihe  half-open  window  made  the  room  light  as  day. 
There  is  a  certain  melancholy  pleasure  in  living 
over  again  the  happiness  we  feel  has  for  ever  de- 
parted, and  Grace  made  uo  effort  to  control  her 
thoughts,  letting  them  wander  at  will  over  the

abroad  at  that  hour?  At  first  she  saw  nothing 
but  the  moonlit  road,  the  shadows  of  the  fences, 
and  the  roses  not  yet  in  bloom.  But  presently 
out  of  the  shadow  of  the  house  two  people  em- 
erged into  the  moonlight. 

Thoso  figures  1  Could  she  ever  forget  either? 
They  were  engraven  on  he  r  heart  by  keen  sorrow 
and  shame.  Yes,  it  was  Albert,  and  with  him, 
leaning  on  his  arm  as  she  had  seen  her  four  months 
before,  the  same  handsome,  bold-looking  woman. 
Now,  as  then,  she  was  listening  eagerly  to  some- 
thing he  was  saying,  and  with  a  pang  of  jealousy—

fingers  unfolded  the  paper  and  looked  over  it.  It 
was  from  her  brother,  and  on  the  second  page  was 
a  sentence  which  she  read  over  and  over,  as  though 
fascinated  by  the  words,  yet  they  were  simple 
enough : 

■'Bv-the-way,  Grace,"  it  read,  "  I  called  to-day

fellow  has  had  a  sad  accident — ho  fell  through  a 
trapdoor  in  the  store,  that  some  unlucky  chance 
left  open,  and  has  broken  Ins  leg.  The  doctor 
says  he  won't  be  able  to  move  for  six  weeks.  He 
seems  in  very  low  spirits,  and  do  you  know,  you 
heartless  little  coquette,  I  think  he's  grieving 
about  you." 

Now  every  time  that  Grace 
she  paused  a  moment  to  ask  1 

"  H  Albert  is  lying  ill  at  homo,  unable  to  move, 
how  have  I  seen  him  to-night,  in  company  with 
ibat  woman,  under  rev  window?" 

At  last  a  sudden  effulgence  of  light  spread  over 
her  fae,  .  radiating  it  like  the  eastern  sky  when 
the  sun  has  risen,  and  again  and  again  she  kissed 
the  letter  in  her  hand  as  a  mother  might  kiss  a 
lost  child  restored  fo  her  after  hope  was  gone. 

"  Oh,  what  a  fool  I  have  been  I"  were  her  words, 
when  at  last  she  could  speak.  "What  a  crazy  fool 
I  have  made  myself.  Shall  I  ever  be  forgiven? 
can  I  ever  forgive  myself?  How  dared  I  refuse 
him  an  explanation  when  he  asked  it?  My  foolish, 
self-sufficient  pride!  I  am  punished  for  it.  and  I 
deserve  it.  But  he'll  forgive  him.  Oh,  how 
ashamed  I  am.  I'll  never  dare  to  tell  him  the  in- 
justice I  have  done  him— the  cruel  insult  of  my 
wii-k-  d  thoughts,  and  1  who  lovedT  " 


were  pouring  from  the  full  heart  of  little  Grace 
Farnham,  she  was  bustling  about  the  room,  col- 
lecting stray  articles  of  dress,  folding  them  and 
packing  them  into  her  trunk  which  stood  ready  to 
receive  them.  But  how  gay  and  sparkling  she  felt 
ail  the  time  ;  and  it  seemed  a  pleasure  to  heap  on 
herself  the  niosi  udl.uis  reproaches. 

At  last  everything  was  packed,  and  the  trunk 
was  locked  and  strapped,  and  Grace  glanced  round 
to  see  if  all  was  ready  for  departure  in  the  morn- 
ing, for  she  had  instantly  determined  to  leave  for 
home  in  the  first  train  of  next  morning.  No  further 
need  for  New  Hampshire  scenery  and  cookery,  and 
country  air— she  was  completely  cured. 

At  first  she  couldn't  sleep  with  joy ;  but  at  last, 
towards  morning,  she  fell  into  a  deep,  delightful 
slumber,  and  dreamed  till  eight  o'clock  of  all  im- 
ae-imibl,-  bridecakes 


There  was  consternation  in  the  family  when 
Grace  announced  her  intention  of  leaving  them 
that  morning.  But  entreaties  fell  on  a  deaf  car- 
go she  would,  and  go  she  did.  And  that  same 
evening  there  was  surprise  at  Mr.  Farnham's  at 
the  unexpected  return  of  Grace  ;  but  also  delight, 
for  it  was  evident  she  had  got  rid  of  all  her 
trouble—that  no  mysterious  sadness  any  longer 
weighed  down  her  spirits,  or  covered  her  bright

i.  short  time  later  the  brother  and  sister  found 
jmsolves  in  tha  sickroom  of  young  Edmonds, 
s  didn't  evince  surprise  at  seeing  Grace,  but 
)k  her  hand  with  a  quiet  and  friendly  grasp. 


Forgive  me,  dear  Albert,"  said  Grace,  tremb- 
andwith  tears.     "  1  have  been  cruelly  wrong. 
I  scarcely  dare  tell  you  how.     No,   George, 
't  loave  us ;  I  want  you  to  hear  me  also." 
ie  paused,  scarcely  knowing  how  to  proceed, 

Albert,  the  last  night  that  we  parted  in  kind- 
3  and  love  I  made  what  I  thought  a  horrible 
discovery  that  would  for  ever  separate  us.  Sitting 
at  my  window  about  half  an  hour  after  you  were 
gone,  I  saw  a  man  and  woman  pass  up  the  street, 
and  then  secrete  themselves  in  a  gateway  opposite 
oni'  house.  I  could  have  made  oath  that  the  man 
was  you,  Albert;  almost  immediately  a  third  party 
passed,  and  I  saw  this  man— whom  I  took  for  you — 
jump  out,  assault  him,  overcome  and  rob  him,  and 
then,  hi  company  with  tin-  woman,  disappear." 

"Upon  my  word  I'm  much  obliged,  Grace."'  in-

Near  her  was  a  maiden  whose  plainer  garb  and

THE  MYSTERY  OF  "THE  PLACE:' 

A  STORY  IN  THREE  PARTS. 


It  was  mid-day,  and  not  one  speck  of  sunsbining 
when  the  train  fumed  up  to  the  Stanfield  station 
and  dropped  Isabelle.  It  was  eold  and  raw,  a 
miserable  drizzle  coming  dowu  steadily,  and  as  she 
stepped  from  the  cars  the  prospect  was  anything 
but  oheoring.  There  was  the  wretched  passengers' 
mom  of  the  depot,  fireleas,  and  smelling  fearfully 
of  tobacco,  two  or  throe  surly,  sneaking  curs,  and 
[.wo  «.r  three  gaping  fustics ;  while  one  stupid-look- 
ing station-keoper  was  paying  particular  attentior 
to  a  pair  of  English-whiskered  youths,  who,  by  the 
array  of  guns,  fishing-rods  and  Bmall  ware

at  what  periods  the  different  wings  and  additions 
were  completed.  Her  guide  posted  himself  at  a 
rickutty  gate  lending  up  to  the  bouse,  but  made 
[o  oner  to  open  it. 
"  Go  in  1"  said  Isabelle. 

"  Give  me  the  bag,  then;'  she  said,  slipping  the 
noney  into  his  band,  and  taking  from  bun  bis 
nirden  ;  "  I  will  go  in  alone." 

The  negro,  with  a griuof  satisnict ion,  relinquished

and  was  off  in  an  instant. 
Isabelle,   by  great  exertion,   pushed   open  the 

English  mastiff  bounding  down  the  path,  with 
yelps  of  attack.  The  dog  camo  on  to  her  very  feet, 
but,  seeing  no  signs  of  terror,  followed  submis- 
sively up  to  the  house,  where  a  knock  at  the  door,

There  was  nothing  cheering  in  ber  position,  and 
yet  notwithstanding  its  uuhappfness,  sho  felt 
more  content  than  when  in  that  lonely  spot  in 
Pennsylvania  she  waited  and  watched  as  a  desert- 
ed wife.    She  was  now  with  ber  husband,  and  in 


then  her  mind  went, 
wandering  back  to  the  girl  days  when,  Lu  the  Brown 
Cottage,  she  had  been  surrounded  by  nothing  but 


of  them,  and— 

A  figure,  tall  and  strangely  dressed,  flitted  be- 
<re  the  window,  stared  an  instant  towards  her 
ith  an  unmeaning  look,  and  was  gone.  It  was 
U'lttiuly  a  woman,  though  the  face  would  scarcely 
)11  it,  and  in  the  dim  light  Isabello  had  little 
chance  tcflaee  what  would  have  enabled  her  to 
identify  it.  The  eyes  were  largo  and  bright, 
though  a  strange,  unearthly  look  came  out  of 
e  drawn  and  gauni, 


"No!  no!  I  cannot  explain  anything!" 
"  Then  I  will  not  go.    If  you  cannot  tell  me  to-day 
I  can  wait,  but  I  will  not  leave  this  house  without 
an  explanation  of  your  conduct,  unless  I  le

from  Isabelle  slid 
away  through  a  door  on  the  alcove,  and  left  her 
standing  in  the  hall.  She  had  scarcely  stood  five 
minutes  when  the  sound  of  a  step  was  heard,  and 
tall,  graybaired  woman,  of  severe  faco,  came 
3wly  down  a  flight  of  stairs  leading  into  the  hall, 
id  towards  her,  as  though  she  would,  by  the  pierc- 
ing power  of  her  cold  gray  eyes,  look  her  through,

And  so  the  matter  was  settled,  and  Isabelle 
started  with  a  crippled  negro  for  her  guide,  the

her  sleeping  husband.  Almost  an  hour  she  sat 
waiching  his  uneasy  slumbers,  a  tossing,  restless, 
aozy  sleep,  until  he  turned  full  to  the  front,  and 


"Miller,  drink!"

modic courage,  she  started  to  a  sitting  poature 
and  cried:

wilting,  went  to  sleep  more  wearied  than  usual. 
It  was  the  first  snow  of  the  seaaon,  just  enough 
had  fallen  to  cover  the  ground,  and  to  cast  the 
reflection  of  its  brightness  into  tbo  room,  so  that 
everything  in  it  was  light  ami  cany  distinguished. 
Isabelle  had  scarcely  fallen  into  her  first  doze 

and  struggling  awake,  found  herself  grasped  by 
tbo  throat,  by  a  figure  bending  over  her,  and 
glaring  down  with  a  fierceness  of  face  terribly 
real.  Isabelle  essayed  to  scream,  but  the  hands 
tightened  on  her  throat,  and  nothing  came  but  a 
gurgling  sound,  which  could  not  have  been  heard 
beyond  the  room.  She  tried  to  rise,  but  the 
strength  of  her  atti 
remained  fastened  I 
bed,  her   strength  i 


reach    her,  and  Isabelle,  with  one  little,  silent 
prayer,  Bwooned. 

Within  half  an  hour  the  house  was  awakened  by 
shrieks,  and  Miller  hastening  to  Mrs.  Swinton's 
room,  from  which  they  came,  found    the    door 

with  terrible  emphasis.  In  a  moment  Colonel 
Swinton  bad  staggered  from  his  bed,  and  dashing 
!") wards  the  fastened  door,  finding  that  it  did  not 
yield  to  his  hand,  went  back  to  bis  room,  and  with 
1  thought  brought  out  a  heavy,  old- 


fashioned  poker.    One  c

"  Doctor,  Mrs.  Swinton  informed  me  this  morn-

"Not  yet.     It  will  not  do  to  disturb  him  with

The  housekeeper  drew  the  ooctorto  the  far  cor- 

"  Doctor,  do  you  know  what  lira.  Swinton's 
belief  is  about  this  affair?" 

"No!" 

"She  thinks  it  was  done  by  some  one  on  the

l  Niagara  Pence  Conference, 
The  question  recurs,  what  were  the  objects  of 
Mr.  George  N.  Sanders  in  this  business?  He 
had  several  objects  in  view.  His  immediate 
desire  won  doubtless  to  get  through  to  Rich- 
mond, to  settle  his  accounts  and  secure  the 
balances  that  may  be  due  him  from  the  secret 
service  fund  of  the  so-called  Confederate  States,

to  Richmond,  he  deBired,  perhaps,  a  little  quiet 
iwith  some  of  our  lending  j.i.lili- 
important  business  of 
the  Chicago  Convention.  But  the  great  pur- 
pose of  Mr.  Sanders  and  his  associate  diplomats 
was  either  btma-ph  to  optn  the  door  to  peace, 
through  the  restoration  of  the  rebellions  States, 
or  to  put  the  Administration  in  a  false  position, 
niid  the  Chicago  Convention  on  a  promising 
Southern  peace  platform  for  the  approaching 
Presidential  election.  The  correspondence  in

Mr.  Sanders  and  Company  had  no  shad--.' 
authority  from  Richmond  for  this  Chicago 
conference  on  the  footing  originally  suggested 
to  Mr.  Greeley.  We  must  conclude,  therefore, 
that  Mr.  Sunders  contrived  this  peace  experi-

terested ■  in  the  Chicago  Convention.  We 
conclude,  too,  thnt  President  Lincoln,  through 
his  direct  advices  from  Richmond  on  the  pence 
question,  saw  through  the  game  of  Mr.  Sanders 
niid  that  he  has  effectually  blocked  it.

"  No,  I  don't  want  to  go.  I  have  my  mother  to

hands  had  grown  very  weak,  1 


down  in  the  comer  where  the  curious  implements 
of  his  craft  lay  about.  It  was  slow  work ;  the 
warm  sunshine  came  in  nnd  fell  on  the  dark  bits 
of  iron,  and  the  Bhadows  of  the  white  clouds  that 
drifted  over  the  sky  glided  up  to  his  feet.  Stephen 
wondered  if  this  way  what  it  was  to  be  ill — to  feel 

and  purpose  slipped  away  from  his  heart. 

There  was  no  spring  left  in  him,  he  said- sadly. 
And  now  glancing  up  and  over  tho  way,  he  Bees

The  afternoon  silence  is  unbroken  and  very 
sweet  to  Bell.  Nothing  but  tho  rippling  flow  of 
brook,  the  gentle  mont 

quiet,  yellow  sunshine  sleeping 
d  the  white,  d lists*  road  and  ■ 

Bell's  heart  was  very  light ;

depth  and  strength  of  feeling,  and 
well  havo  been  won  at  a  greater  cost.' 

The  flutter  M  her  blue  mnslin  dress  caught 
Stephen's  eye,  perhaps  the    magneti 
presence  ni.ndo  her  look  aroandwhenji 
of  the  shop  door. 

"  Oh,  Stephen  I  are  you  here  ?  I  was  just  com- 
ing to  give  you  the  paper,"  and  before  he  could 
rise  she  had  put  it  into  his  handy.  Stephen  glanced 
over  it  in  some  embarrassment.  He  had  seen  her 
at  home  often  since  his  return,  but  now  the  shy- 
ness that  he  thought  he  had  outlived  fettered 

Bell  looked  around  with  a  girl's  curiosity  e 
unfamiliar   things    about.     ~ 
wheels  and  that  revolving  cylinder— whi 
they?    She  would  ask;  and  turninj    '    ~ 
met  a  look  that  frightened  away  th 
her  lips.     She  wound  her  hat  ribbon

Would  she  take  him  V     He  thongnt  of  his  crippled

THE  DESERTED  HOUSE,

BY  CLAIBE  CEOFTON. 
I  came  upon  it  in  tho  course  of  my  solitary 

expedition,  and  having  hco  ped  my  basket  with  the 
great  shining  blackberries,  and  pern-mug  signs 
of  an  approaching  shower,  I  turned  to  retract-  my 
BuM  had  wandered  further  than  Ihiele.ny

hu     The  mouldy  wallpaper 


lewall,  and  rattled 
that  swept  through 
the  room.    I  started  nervously  at  the  soun  ; 
felt  relieved  when  I  discovered  whathad  occasioned 
it.    I  had  rather  at  any  time  look  on  a  grave 
i  i      h  m  on  a  deserted  house.    In  the 


a  know  that  a  human  body  lies  mouldering  back 
its  kindred  dust ;  but  the  other  is  full  oi 
igue  terrors  and  undefined  apprehensions,  there

ind  that  thought  yuqgoshHhiHior.-i,  mid  I  forgot 
all  about  the  storm  in  the  train  of  reflections  thus 
awakened.  Six  weeks  before  I  had  been  engaged 
follies  and  flirtations  of  a  ft 
ace.  Why  had  I  left  f 
thereby  hangs  a  tale. 

Until  my  seventeenth  year  I  had  known  nothing 

j  wealth  or  luxury,  for  up  to  that  time  my  father's 
daily  life  had  been  a  hand-to-h 
poverty,'"    -- 


suddenly?    Ah, 


1  rapidly  d 
vens,  the  rain  would  bo  upon  me  before  I  cr. 
walk'  half  that  distance.     I  hastened  my  sti 
anxious  to  find  some  refuge  from  the  impenc. 

Aa  I  emerged  from  the  woods  I  paused 
glanced  around  me  in  every  direction.    Only 
human  habitation  was  in  sight,  that .was  solitary 
farmhouse,  situate  in  the  midst  i 
i1ist:n.ci;  from  the  highway.     I  1 
win.-!,  tonne r'l  tin-  primitive  mod 
this  domain,  and  hurried  along  the  narrow  loot- 
path  leading  to  the  house,  hoping  to  find  shelter 
beneath  its   roof.    As  I  approached  the  lonely 
dwelling  I  could  discover  no  signs  of  life  about  the 
premises  ;  no  smoke  wreath  ended  graceiidly  liom 
the  t:i  11  eliimiR'V.-',  no  open. loor  invite  dilie  traveller 
to  enter.     A  nearer  view  satisfied  me  that  the 
place  was  deserted.     The  house  was  old,  weather- 
stained  and  dilapidated,   loose  clapboards  rattled

^Among  my  adjriirers  I  numbered  a  young  lawyer, 
,-eyn  Selcott  by  name,  who  was  employed  by  my 
flier  in  law  business  connected  with  the  property 
to  which  he  had  become  heir.  My  father  thought 
highly  of  him,  and  perhaps  my  own  opinion  was 
not  less  favorable.  He  was  poor,  m  the  common 
acceptation  of  tho  term,  haying  only  his  _native

love  but  he  betrayed  it  by  look  and  act,  and  I  was 
as  sure  of  its  existence  as  though  the  confession 
had  been  already  breathed  in  my  ear.  I  knew 
that  it  was  pride  alone  that  withheld  the  avowal, 
for  he  dreaded  tho  imputation  of  being  a  fortune-  , 
seeker,  and  perhaps  feared  that  I  should  do  him 
that  injustice.  ,  .      . , 

I  have  said  that  the  beginning  of  the  fashionable

Sweyn  Selcott,  gazing  upon  me  with  a  look  of 
unutterable  surprise,  as  though  doubting  the  re- 
ality of  the  vision  before  him.  We  stood  facing 
each  other  in  silence.    He  was  the  first  to  speak : 

"  Mildred— Miss  Hurley— is  it  really  you  in 
bodily  form,  or  is  it  only  an  illusion  of  the  eye- 
sight?" 

"  i  certainly  me,  and  in  the  flesh,"  I  replied, 
i  smile,  surprise,  and  a  slight  touch  of 
ment  at  the  singularity  of  the  affair,  re- 
lieving me  of  the  embarrassment  which  I  should 
otherwise  have  felt  at  this  unexpected  meeting. 

"  Ah,  yes,  your  voice  proves  your  identity  ;  but 
how  in  the  name  of  all  that's  wonderful  does  it 
happen  that  I  find  you  here?" 

"  That  is  easily  explained.  I  am  visiting  a  rela- 
tive in  this  neighborhood— Mrs.  Margaret  Howe.

There  was  silence  for  a  few  moments.  Our  con- 
versation had  been  interrupted  every  now  aud  then 
by  rattling  volleys  of  thunder,  aud  sharp,  blinding 
flashes  of  lightning.  I  had  drawn  my  chair  close 
to  the  open  window,  lie  observed  it,  and  said

sheet  of  blue  flame  suddenly  illuminated  the  room. 
I  felt  myself  flung  backward,  as  by  an  invisible 
hand.  A  current  of  electricity  seemed  pouring 
through  my  syst-em.  A  stunning  crash,  as  though 
the  house  was  falling  about  our  heads,  was  in  my 
ears  for  an  instant,  then  sight  and  sense  failed  to- 
gether. When  they  returned,  dimly  at  first,  and 
then  more  perfectly,  I  rose  slowly  up  from  the 
floor  on  whioh  I  had  been  lying  prostrate,  and 
gazed  arbund  me  with  a  stunned  and  bewildered 
feeling.  The  room  was  filled  with  a  strongly  sul- 
phureous smell  that  nearly  choked  me.  I  saw  at 
once  where  the  fiery  bolt  had  struck.  The  whole 
wall  of  the  room  opposite  the  window  was  a  con- 
fused mass  of  ruins.  Blackened  and  splintered 
boards,  torn  and  shrivelled  paper,  fragments  of 
brick  and  heaps  of  plaster  were  mingled  together 
mdiscriminately.

I  gave  him  my  hand,  and  with  some  difficulty 
he  regained  his  feet,  but  he  staggered  with  weak- 
ness, and  I  was  obliged  to  assist  him  to  a  chair. 
I  sank  into  the  other,  my  strength  all  gone,  now 


passed  away. 

"  My  poor  child,"  he  said,  "  how  white  you  are ! 
and  you  tremble  from  weakness  more  than  I  do. 
You  must  have  been  terribly  frightened."

on  the  wreck  wrought  by  the  lightning,  "I  think 
we  have  both  been  very  near  the  gates  of  death 
this  day." 

He  shaded  his  eyes  with  his  hand,  and  his  lips 
moved  as  if  in  prayer.  My  own  head  was  bowed, 
and  from  both  hearts  went  up  a  fervent  thauks- 

preserved. 

"What  ia  this?"  said  my  companion,  with  a 
look  of  surprise,  as  he  passed  his  hand  across  his 
open  throat,  and  then  through  his  damp  hair. 

I  explained  what  I  had  done.

Dr  Oundle  was  a  kind-hearted  man,  and  he 
spoke  now  with  significance  which  Mr.  Marsh  felt 
almost  inclined  to  resent.  He  repeated  his  as- 
sertion that  his  daughter  hud  had  nothing  to 
disturb  her;  and  Dr.  Oundle,  whilst  shaking  his 
head  a  little  dubiously,  begged  that,  in  any  case, 

"  I  had  already  settled  that  it  should  be  as  you

And  Captain  Marsh  rose  again  and  moved  a  feiv 
paces  from  her  side,  hut  slowly  and  hesitatingly, 
as  if  hoping  for  and  almost  expecting  a  recall. 

At  thie  moment  Mr.  Marah  put  down  the  paper 
which  he  had  been  reading,  and  called  out  from 
the  centre  table : 

"  Cyril,  when  did  you  say  Colonel  St.  George  was 
coming  ?" 

"ColonelWho?  What  did  papa  say?"  exclaimed 
Nina,  turning  round  on  her  cousin  and  strotching

mastered  her  tor  one,...  u<  t  lips  were  apart,  hoi

"Colonel  St.  George,"  answered  Cyril,  softly, 
and  he  placed  himself  before  her  in  order  to  con-

to  his  uncle's  question : 

"  At  the  end  of  the  week,  I  believe.  I  hard

He  ventured  to  cast  a  glance  at  Nina  as  he 
finished  speaking,  to  see  if  she  had  recovered  her- 
self,   Mr.  Marsh  had  returned  to  his  paper,  and 


whisper,  what  Colonel  vSt.  George  was  to  her. 

"  Nothing,"  she  faintly  murmured.

The  War  for  the  Union— What  we  Have 
Gained,  and  What  we  Have  Yet  to 

"What  have  you  gained  by  this  fratricidal 
war  ?"  is  the  familiar  inquiry  of  that  incui 
piu'ti/,;m  whose  hostility  to   "the  powers 
he"  has  carried  him  and  his  sympathies 
to  the  enemy.     "What  have  you  gained  from 
this  unholy  crusade  for  the  subjugation  of  the 
South  ?    How  much  nearer  are  you  to  Rich- 
mond than  you  were  in  the  summer  of  1862  i 
How  much  longer  can  you  sustain  these  annual 
drafts  of  500,000  men,  and  this  war  expeudi-

money,  that  might  have  been  saved  had  the 
war  been  more  vigorously  and  wisely  prose- 
cuted than  it.  has  been.  First,  then,  we  turn 
to  the  inquiry,  "What  have  we  gained  by  this 
war  ?"  We  have  gained  in  territory  one-half 
the  domains  claimed  as  belonging  to  the  so- 
called  ' '  Confederate  States. "  In  the  last  rebel 
Congress    the  States    represented  were  Vir- 


ginia, Kentucky,  Missouri,  Arkansas,  Teune 

see,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia, 
Florida,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  Louisiana  and 
Texas— thirteen— when  the  whole  section  of 
country  now  under  the  actual  occupation  and 
authority  of  Davis  anal  lis  I'uiiii  oVmh-s  ii;isl>ri.-n 
reduced  to  the  interior  portions  of  the  last 
eight  States  above-named.  The  Northern  mili- 
tary line  of  the  rebellion,  which,  in  1861,  ran 
north-westward  from  Manassas  to  Kentucky, 
and  thence  through  the  heart  of  that  State  to 
Columbus,  on  the  Mississippi  river,   a  thou- 

pushed  so  far  down  into  Georgia  as  to  threaten 
the  complete  isolation  of  all  the  "Confeder- 
acy" north  of  the  Savannah  river  from  the 
States  below.  From  Columbus  to  the  Gulf  of 
Mexico,  overcoming  numerous  armies,  and  a 
chain  of  fortifications,  armed  flotillas,  rafts, 
rams  ;<!,((  other  ol >st i' ii -.-  i ions  unparalleled  in 
the  defences  of  any  other  river  of  modern  or 
:inciom  times,  tin-.  Mississippi  bus  W«)i  re- 
opened and  occupied,  and  is  now  in  the  abso- 
lute and  permanent  occupation  of  the  Govern- 


Davis  Confederacy 


Thus  that  h 
which  lies  wes 
condition  of  a  wing  of  an  army  hopelessly  c 
off  from  the  main  body,  so  that,  in  a  practical 
military  view,  we  have  reduced  the  vital  forces 
of  the  rebellion  to  the  interior  portions  ot  the  '. 
single  tier  of  States,  and  parts  of  States,  lying 
between  Richmond  and  Mobile. 

So  much  for  the  territory  recovered,  in  a  mili-  ] 
tary  estimate,  practically.  In  the  population 
the  rebellion  we  have  LSiiiied  ; 
5  original  strength;  and  in  the  j 
ble  resources  for  peace  or  war,  wrested 
the  enemy,  our  gains  have  been  corres- 
great.  Nor  do  these  constitute  all 
our  gains.  In  the  beginning  of  this  war  the 
rebel  leaders,  from  the  commercial  power  of  I 
King  Cotton,  confidently  counted  upon  a  timely 
coalition  from  England  and  France,  upon  the 
destruction  of  our  commerce  on  the  high  seas, 
and  the  raising  of  the  blockade  by  a  numerous 
fleet  of  foreign-built  privateers  and  ironclads, 
and  upon  the  active  armed  co-operation  of  a 
powerful  division  of  the  Northern  Democracy. 
We  have  gained  the  neutrality  of  England, 


of  its 


which  secures  the  neutrality  of  France;  there 
is butonerebel privateer  now  left  denizing  about 
upon  the  high  seas;  the  ironclads  built  for  the 
enemy  are  out  of  the  way,  and  as  for  a  rising 
of  the  Northern  peace  Democracy,  in  support 
of  King  Jeff,  we  dare  say  that  they  are  fully 
convinced  it  would  not  begin  to  pay  expenses. 
All  these  things  we  have  gained  —  one- 
claimed  by  the  rebel- 
i'.-|iiU;i Ij- >];,  two-thirds 
military  resources  and 
n,  including  the  whole 
line  of  the  Mississippi  river,  tho  dethrone- 
ment of  King  Cotton,  the  neutrality  of  Eng- 
land and  France,  and  the  substantial  unity 
of  the  great  North  and  the  loyal  States  of  the 
South  upon  this  grand,  paramount  and  su- 
preme Jacksonian  idea  that  "the  Union  mus 
and  shall  be  preserved."  If  we  have  changed 
the  issue  from  19,000,000  of  people  against 
12,000,000  to  27,000,000  of  people  against  less 
than  5,000,000,  is  it  not  manifest  that  we  have 
gained  enough  to  insure  our  final  success,  and 
as  the  crowning  reward  of  the  present  cam- 
paign?

Summary  of  the  Week. 


;  failure  of  tin  ns^mlt  <m 
Lee's  lines  all  has  been  quiet  before  Petersburg. 
Tliiit  developed  the  tact  that  a  very  small  force 
can  hold  Lee's  lines  against  Grant's  army  ;  and 
hence  there  is  every  probability  of  Lee  attempt- 
ing a  Northern  invasion  in  force.  Indeed  such  a 
movement  hy  an  army,  under  Johnston,  is  an- 
nounced.    Our  dead  hove  been  buried  under  a

The  rebels  since  fired  a  mine,  but  it  failed  to 
blow  up  our  saps,  and  they  retreated  after  a  fruit- 
less charge. 

The  President  went  down  to  Fortress  Monroe, 
and  had  a  long  interview  with  Grant,  on  Sunday, 
July  31st. 


There  is  now  no  question  hut  that  the  rebels 
are  preparing  to  hurl  a  large  and  well-prepared 
army  mi  Maryland,  Pennsylvania  and  the  District, 
in  hopes  of  relieving  Georgia  and  Hiehmond.

Here  Stultz  gave  way.  His  feelings  were  too 
much  for  him,  and  he  fell  upon  Armaud'B  neck, 
after  the  most  approved  manner  of  the  latest 
sensation  school.  Armand  bad  not  been  blessed 
bo  vigorously  since  old  Bullion  bleBsed  him  and 
Angelique.  In  turn,  he  squeezed  Stultz  till  he 
was  glad  to  let  go,  and  then  quietly  submitted  to 
be  measured  for  the  suit  of  mourning.  The  leader 
of  fashion  would  not  hear  of  the  na-vment  of  tlm 
old  score. 

"  Any  time— any  time  will  do,"  he  said;  "and 
now  adieu.  Bless  you  both.  Monsieur  Felix,  I 
shall  expeot  you  to  visit  me  soon,  and  look  at  my

Stultz  departed,  leaving  Armand  and  Felix 
more  astounded  than  before.  The  whole  thing, 
in  then-  opinion,  was  excellent;  so  Armand 
resumed  his  pencil,  and  Felix  proceeded  to  cook 

The  next  morning  Armand  met  some  of  his

And  who  shall  dare  to  say,  after  this,  that  a 
woman  in  her  weakness  is  not  a  good  match  for  a 
man  in  his  strength? 

Captain  Marsh  re-entered  the  bouse  with  the 
same  caution  he  had  nsed  in  leaving  it.  Ho 
bolted  the  door  carefully  behind  him,  and  passed 
un  tiptoe  through  the  passages.  The  house- 
keeper's room  waa  at  the  end  of  the  hall,  almost 
at  the  foot  uf  the  grand  staircase. 

Mrs.  Trent  was  unlike  an  ordinary  dependant, 
iusomuoh  as  her  dignity  nod  sell-reliance  gave  her 
a  marked  position,  and  exacted  notice.  Her  place 
in  the  household  seemed  an  important  one  merely 

filled.  You  could  not  overlook  her,  and,  perbapB 
involuntarily,  unconsciously,  yon  would  address 
her  ulien  you  Bpoke  as  an  equal  rather  than  a 
menial.  Captain  Marsh,  strong  and  trustworthy 
himself,  had  not  failed  to  divine  instinctively 
those- qualities  in  Mrs.  Trent  which  anBwered  to 
his  own,  and  felt  a  certain  inlerest  in  analysing 
a  character  whose  serious  nobility  lent  grace  to 
her  homely  duties. 

It  was,  perhaps,  through  reviewing  Mi's.  Trent's 
claims  to  attention  that  Cyril  came  to  look 
curiously  in  the  direction  of  her  room.  To  his 
astonishment,  knowing  the  regular  hours  kept  at

as  be  passed,  and  was  still  more  surprised  to  see 
Mrs.  Trent  standing  erect  by  the  table,  with  a 
white  but  determined  face,  whilst  Colonel  St. 
George,  lolling  in  a  chair  opposite  her,  scorned  by

Cyril  waa  so  strictly  honorable  that  he  not  only 
went  away  at  once,  but  also  felt  hot  with  shame 
at  his  involuntary  breach  of  integrity.  Retreating 
hastily  from  the  Bound  of  Mrs.  Trent's  voice, 
fearful  lest  ho  might  distinguish  another  word  of 
her  conversation,  Captain  Marsh  reached  bis  own

dressed  in  the  everlasting  blacl

As  Nina  entered  the  drawing-room  that  night

Her  education  had  been  sadly  neglected.  Having

in  general,  and  nothing  in  particular.  In  the 
scramble,  Anna  Dawes  waa  faet  losing  all  the  wit 
she  possessed,  when  her  brother  suddenly  came* 
to  the  rescue,  dismissed  the  paragon,  and  recom- 
mended the  stable  as  a  finishing  School.  Anna 
adopted  the  notion  with  enthusiastic  earnestness, 
and  soon  became  an  apt  scholar  in  Jack's  hands.

Jack's  theories  upon  female  education  were 
somewhat  peculiar,  and  he  was  a  little  uncomfort- 
able at  firBt  as  to  how  Ihey  would  look  in  prncliee  ; 
but  when  he  saw  Anna  growing  straight  and  tall, 
found  that  she  could  manage  a  refractory  steed 
with  perfect  ease,  and  amuse  herself  in  wet

Mobile— Admiral  Farragut's  Operations 
and  their  Military  Importance. 

?  late  ilftriii'i'  and  difficult,  but  brilliantly 
'  operations  ufA,lmir;il  FnrriiLjut,  bo- 
low  Mobile,  he  has  administered  a  staggerinr;' 
blow  to  the  rebellion  in  the  South-west.  In 
running  the  gauntlet  of  Fort  Morgan— a  large, 
substantial,  defensive  work,  carefully  built  by 
the  United  States,  at  an  expense  of  SI, 500,000, 
and  raking,  with  more  than  100  guns,  at  short 
range,  the  wain  inlot  to  the  bay — tho  indomit- 
able old  Admiral  repoated  that  bold  and 
perilous  enterprise  which  rallied  him  up  to 
New  Orleans;  in  capturing,  with  the  assistance 
of  Gen.  Granger's  land  forces,  Tort  Gaines— 
another  substantial  Government  work,  mount- 
ing 50  heavy  guns ;  and  in  dislodging  the 
enemy  from  the  supporting  eaud  batteries  on 
the  adjacent  islands,  he  secured  complete  pos- 
session of  Mobile  bay  and  the  gateway  and 


vi^iifion  thence  through  Mis- 
sissippi sound  and  Lake  Pontchartrain  to  New 
Orleans.  With  these  advantages  gained,  the 
intelligent  reader  will  readily  perceive  the  great 
value  of  Farragut  and  Granger's  position,  in 
support  of  Sherman  in  Georgia  and  Grant  in 
Virginia. 

We  write  this  article  in  advance  of  any 
authentic  reports  of  any  farther  successes  by 
our  land  and  naval  forces  below  Mobile.  We 
think  it  probable,  too,  that,  from  the  extrtnie 
shallowness  of  the  water  in  tho  upper  portion 
of  tho  bay,  and  from  the  number  and  extent 
of  the  enemy's  works  on  all  the  land  approaches 
leading  to  the  city,  that  its  reduction  will  yet  re- 
quire something  of  the  labors  of  a  regular 
siege.  It  will,  however,  suffice  for  our  present 
purpose,  that  Farragut  and  Granger  are  in 
occupation  of  the  bay  and  its  laud  and  water 
approaches  from  the  New  Orleans  side.  In 
possession  of  theso,  the  work  towards  tho  re- ' 


danger  which  menaces  Mobile  extends  to  At- 
lanta and  to  IUchuiond. 

To  i  lengthen  the  army  of  Hood  against  the 
exhausting  pressure  of  Sherman,  Mobile  had 
so  far  been  drawn  upon,  that  on  the  approach 
of  Furragut's  squadron,  the  able-bodied  men 

doubt,  were  diminished  to  the' detachments 
needed  to  man  his  ironclads,  cottonclads, 
regular  forts  and  earthworks,  perhaps  not  over 
five  thousand  men  all  told.  He,  in  turn,  must 
bo  heavily  reinforced,  or  Granger's  infantry, 
with  Farragut's  light  droft  fresh  water  gun- 
boats, will  speedily  enforce  the  evacuation  of 
the  city.  But  from  what  quarter  are  these  in- 
dispensable reinforcements  to  Maury  to  be 
drawn?  The  necessities  of  Hood  in  Georgia 
have  resulted  in  draining  the  country  of  its 
igulors  and  guerillas,  infantry 


and  cavalry,  from  the  Atlantic  seaboard 
Mississippi  river.  It  is  apparent,  then,  thai 
Hood's  army  or  Georgia  must  be  sacrificed  to 
save  Mobile,  or  that  Mobile  must  be  abandoned 
to  save  Georgia.  Assuming  that  the  latter 
alternative  is  adopted,  the  Union  forces 
Mobile,  by  those  navigable  rivers  the  Tombig- 
bee  and  the  Alabama,  secure  a 
tary  view,  possession  ot  the  State,'  for  those 
vital  commercial  channels  along  which  are  es- 
tablished the  most  important  of  all  the  depots 
of  "Confederate  "  cotton  and  cor 
to  hundreds  of  millions  of  doll 
cannot  be  lost  without  losing  the 
But  the  possession  of  Mobile  i 
dispossess  the  enemy  of  Alabama— for,  by  wa; 
of  the  navigable  Alabama  river  to  the  Mont- 
gomery railroad,  it  will  enable  our  forees  from

to  the  opinion  that  there  is  a  foundation  of 
truth  in  the  rumors  afloat  that  Gen.  Lee  has 
been  compelled  to  weaken  his  army  in  Rich- 
mond, in  order  to  strengthen  Hood  in  Georgia. 
If  this  has  been  done,  however,  the  next 
defeat  or  retreat  of  Hood  will,  in  all  proba- 
bility, be  followed  by  the  stealthy  removal  of 
Lee's  entire  army  southward ;  and  from  a 
careful  review  of  the  military  situation  in  that 
quarter,  we  have  every  reason  to  expect  that  a 
disastrous  retreat  or  defeat  of  Hood  will  be 
the  next  great  military  event  in  Georgia.

vigor,  a  dcxibdity  in  his  movements  that pertained 
not  to  advanced  age,  and  belied  the  promise  of 

nauts  recalled  their  earlier  hue.  All  this  showed 
that  the  aspect  of  age  was  but  the  disguise  of 
prematurely  blasted  youth,  and  arrested  attention 
on  the  person  who,  one  fine  night,  in  St.  Mark's 
Square,  Venice,  thus  bespoke  him  who  now  writes. 
There  was  bright  moonlight;  the  broad  square 
was  afloat  in  radiance;  the  mauy-domed,  multi- 
piimiielei.1  cathedral  loomed  out  like  some  Cyclop 
work  in  frosted  silver ;  down  the  arcade  streamed 
lines  ni'  idlers,  purposely  gloating  over  the  glitter- 
ing goldsmith's  ware  at  the  arched  angel  of  the 
"Merceria,"  or  the  equally  glistening,  if  less 
costly,  objets  de  Venice,  the  shell  gauds  of  the 
neighboring  traveller  traps.  In  J'ioriun  and  Sat  til 
overflowed  a  mass  of  loungers,  frothing  over  into 
the  outer  breadth  of  the  piazza,  playing  chess, 
drinking  coffee,  eating  ice,  hutching  treason, 
abusing  the  Austrians ;  it  was  1859,  and  the  Lom- 
bard  campaign  was  imminent.     There  is  your

While  on  the  waves,  like  golden  .-m-l. 


Melhought  I  heard  an  olden  tale, 

Told  in  the  water's  tune, 
That  breathed  of  home  and  that  deep 

Where,  in  the  month  of  June, 

We  ;-.at  ;m<l  talked  with  fiices  pale 
Beneath  the  quiet  moon.

The  feast  of  love  all  day,

Along  the  darkling  buy, 
And  she,  like  April,  smiled  and  wept,

High-horn,  but  poor,  and  alienated  by  her  long 
exile  from  those  relatives  whose  rank  and  in- 
fluence must  have  dotonrined  her  own  position  in 
the  world,  Madame  de  Pene  s  situation  was  one  to 
excite  the  sympathy  of  every  true  gentleman,  and 
Mr.  Mursh  treated  her,  as  if  she  were  not  a  do- 
posed  sovereign,  but  a  reigning  queen.  The  two 
ladies  always  walked  up  to  the  manor-house, 
because  they  could  not  afford  the  expense  of  a 
carriage ;  hut  Mr.  Marsh  took  care  that  they 
should  be  driven  home,  and  was  invariably  at  the 
door  to  receive  them  when  they  arrived — a 
courtesy  which  he  would  not  have  extended  to  any 
duchess  ,,r  e.. unless  hi  the  land. 

Madame  de  Pene  was  led  by  her  attentive  host 
to  a  seat  on  Mrs.  Marsh's  sofa,  and  thou  Gabrielle 
slid  away  to  Nina'B  side.  There  was  a  Btrong 
friendship  between  these  two,  totally  dissimilar 
though  they  were  both  in  disposition  and  tem- 
perament, perhaps  all  the  more  on  \hat  ac- 
count. But  there  was  one  great  difference  in 
the  affection  each  felt  for  the  other.  Gabrielle

Nina  tried  to  speak  now,  but  her  voice  died  away 
in  her  throat,  and  her  hand,  which  had  faller 
helplessly  at  her  side,  was  clenched  and  blue.  She 
had  just  strength  enough  to  sit  upright  and  listen. 

Gabrielle  looked  puzzled.  She  dared  ask  nc 
questions,  but  she  went  on  mechanically,  without 
any  pleasure  in  her  recital.

"What  more  could  I  tell  him,  Nina?  Thatwas

"Oh,  Gabrielle  1"  said  Nina,  drawing  a  long 
breath,  "you  did  frighten  me  terribly.  I  would

Marsh,  above  everybody,  should  have  known  that

go  in  her  place.  I  met  no  one  uc

saw  Nina  just  in  front  of  me,  walking  very  fast. 
She  was  so  strangely  dressed,  too,  in  some  sort  of 
costume  that  gave  one  the  idea  of  disguise.  Every 
now  and  then  she  looked  anxiously  behind  hor  to 
see  if  she  was  observed,  aud  once  I  caught  sight 
of  her  face,  which  was  calm  and  resolute,  but  very 
white.    You  may  he  sure  this  excited  my  curiosity, 

ivas  most  desirous  of  fathoming  the  myBtery 
which  could  bring  Nina  out  on  such  a  day.  So  I

"  Good  morning,  dame.    I  hope  your  rheumatis

"  I  mis,  I  have  known,"  he  said  to  himself,  with 
a  bitter  sneer  at  his  own  credulity,  "that  a  French 
girl  could  only  be  a  French  girl,  even  if  trans- 
planted to  another  soil ;  a.  leopard  does  not  change

Cyril  ended  his  reflections  by  a  dubious  pull  i 
his  long  beard,  then  buried  his  cares  in  a  glass 
lacryma  christi. 

Meanwhile  Nina  and  Gabrielle  were  ohattin 
together  on  a  little  oouch  in  the  drawing-roor 


Gabrielle  said 
conclusions,  and  the  first  of  them  was  that  she 
nearer  the  truth  than  she  bad  supposed 
ting  some  mystery  in  Nina  ;  hill  her  im- 
was  that  this  mystery  concerned  both 
Nina  and  Captain  Marsh,  and  related  to  some  love- 
paBsages  between  them,  which,  for  some  incom- 
prehensible reason,  they  desired  to  conceal.  This 
soresy  chilled  Gabrielle's  affection,  whilst  it  sharp- 
nod  her  wits.  She  withdrew  into  a  corner  and 
atobed  the  game,  and  it  seemed  strange,  even  to 
erself,  what  bitterness  and  suspicion  towards 
ma  took  the  place  of  her  former  love  and  trust. 
Meanwhile  Jack  Dawes  had  possessed  himself 
E  the  vacant  chair  by  Nina's  Bide.  Jack  was 
'  happy  in  all  but  one  respect,  and  that 
te  could  think  of  nothing  toeay.  He  racked 
his  brain  till  it  ached;  then  he  occupied  himself 
squeezing  on  his  gloves.  Tins  operation  afforded 
him  some  relief,  as  it  might  appear  a  tolerable  ex-

the  young  squire  rose,  squeezed  Nina's 
hand,  with  an  accompanying  ghince,  earnestly 
pologetic,  as  much  as  to  say,  "I  did  not  mean 
anything  against  you  aud  yours— I  am  only  pro- 
tecting myself ;"  then,  with  a  sort  of  rough  dignity 
more  easy  to  respect  than  to  ridicule,  he

his  arm,  to  hid  his  host  and  hostess  good- 
night, and  quietly  loft  the  room.

ship,  hut  not  before  the  door  had  fairly  closed 
upon  Jack  Dawes. 

"I  don't  agree  with  you,"  anBwered  Nina, 
hortly. 
And  she  left  her  seat  at  his  side  and  joined  Lady 
Joughton  and  Madame  de  Pene.

wooing  as  he  had  led  himself  to  expect. 


The  village  of  Beechwood  was  shadowed  to- 
wards the  east  by  a  eemi-cirelo  of  gaunt  old  bills.

Wells,  spitefully  ;  "and  as  to  her  looks,  I

At  (his  moment  Ben  returned,  leading  his 
heart  by  the  hand.    Miss  Wells  rose  and  made 
her  a  ceremonious  inclination,  whilst  the  old 
man  accorded  her  no  sort  of  attention  a  t  all.

helped  Rose  to  remove  her  things. 

She  was   a   pretty  creature— almost   a   child. 

Her  blonde  hair  danced  in  waves  about  her  sweet 

iie  deep  violet  eyes  stealing  sly  glances  at 

you  from  under  the  sweeping  brown  lashes.     In

feared  as  any  breach  between  Ben  and  his  mother. 
She  would  have  been  very  miserable,  only  that 
her  lover's  great  hand  sought  hers  now  and 
then  under  the  table,  and  seemed  to  speak  so 
presaingly  of  his  feelings,  that  all  the  rest  was 


and,  on  Jim's  arrival  a  little  later,  the  fun  "raged 
so  fast  and  strong  that  Rose  could  venture  to  mis 
all  her  nuts  with  Ben's,  and  even  show  him  each 
card,  consulting  him  earnestly  as  to  how  much 
she  ought  to  stake. 

Luck  favored  Rose,  as  if  to  spite  her  tormentors. 
It  was  astonishing  how  often  she  had  vingt-drW, 
and  how  many  she  turned  out  of  then-  deal ;  until 
at  last,  as  Miss  Wells  whispered  to  her  neighbor,

The  game  did  not  proceed  very  rapidly,  as  most 
of  the  players  were  very  weak'  at  addition,  and 
stronger  in  detraction  than  subtraction.  They 
were  often  innocently  waiting  to  be  paid  when 
they  had  exceeded  the  orthodox  number  by  nine 
or  ten.  But  Miss  Wells  kept  her  sharp  eyes  on 
all,  and  under  auspices  creditors  received  their 
due.     At  half-past  nine  a  1    "'" 


pered  to  Ben,  she  did  not  like  to  keep  her  father 
up  late  after  his  day's  work.  Ben  stealthily  filled 
hor  pockets  with  the  nnts  they  had  won  together, 
knowing  how  deeply  this  unexpected  treat  would 
rejoice  the  hearts  of  her  little  brothers  and  sisters 
at  home.  Then  Rose  put  on  her  bonnet  and 
shawl,  almost  ashamed  of  then-  simplicity,  little 
knowing  that  she,  in  her  neat  but  common  things, 
look  far  more  like  a  lady  than  "

The  Peace  Question— Thi 
Jeff  Davis. 

In  the  lute  peace  mission  of  Messrs.  Gilmore 
(or  Edmund  Kirke)  and  Jaques,  to  Rich- 
mond, although  a  volunteer  enterprise  on  their 
own  responsibility,  these  gentlemen,  in  our 
opinion,  have  rendered  no  small  service  to  the 
Government  and  the  common  cause  of  the 
loyal  States.  From  various  sources  through 
the  newspaper  organs  of  the  unconditional 
peace  party  of  the  North,  there  had  been  such 
positive  and  circumstantial  assurances  of  a 
disposition  on  the  part  of  the  chiefs  of  the  re- 
hellion  to  enter  into  negotiations  for  peace, 
and  upon  terms  that  would  be  acceptable  to 
the  North,  that,  looking  to  the  practical  unity 
of  the  North,  it  had  become  a  matter  of  great 
importance  to  ascertain  the  real  opinions  of 
Jefferson  Davis  mpon  this  question. 

We  have  no  doubt  that  Messrs.  Gil) 
Jaques    were    themselves    persuadei 


his  ruling  associates  prepared  to  listen  to  al-  patriotic  colleague 
moBt  any  propositions  that  would  open  the  I  Rev.  Col.  Jaques, 
door  to  negotiations  for  peace.  From  the  in-  ;  implacable  despot  i 
teresting  report  submitted  to  the  public  by  Mr.  ■  States  on  the  other  side.    The  peace  overtures 


Gihnore,  through  < 


AQantic  Monthly,  of  the 
.  of  himself  and  patrio- 
ir  that  they  had  also 
argued  Mr.  Lincoln  into  such  active  sympathy 
with  their  hopeful  anticipations,  that  he  not 
only  aided  them  in  every  needful 
their  journey,  but  that,  in  the 
with  Jeff  Davis,  Jshey 


they  had  received  at  the  White 
House.  In  other  words,  although  they  acted 
upon  their  own  individual  responsibility.  ;md 
without  any  official  credentials  to  back  them, 
they  doubtless  appeared  before  Davis  as  in 
reality  the  representatives  of  the  President  of 
the  United  States,  and  were  manifestly  so  en- 
tertained and  dismissed. 

Hence  the  importance  of  the  essential  facts 
connected  with  this  remarkable  peace  con- 
ference between  Mr.  Gilmore,  the  learned  and 
experienced  traveller  in  the  South,  and  anti- 


r  ding  to  theuuponall  th.SiiivsNMjili.ivjrtSouth.  Thesepro- 


presented  by  Mr.  Gilmore  included  the 
tion  of  slavery,  a  general  amnesty  on  behalf 
of  the  parties  concerned  in  the  rebellion,  no 
confiscation,  the  return  of  the  rebellious 
States  to  the  Union,  the  debts  of  the  so-called 
Confederate  Government  to  be  ignored,  and 
the  debts  of  the  United    States  to  fall   alike 


positions,  we  will  ass 
Lincoln's  ultimatum  i 


make  up  President 
behalf  of  peace.  We 
think,  too,  whatever  may  be  said  of  the  condi- 
tion precedent  of  the  abolition  of  slavery  by 
aining  propoei- 


treaty  of  peace,  whether  undertaken  before  or 
delayed  till  the  4th  of  March  next. 

The  peace  ultimatum  of  the  rebel  President, 
on  the  other  hand,  allows  no  margin  whatever 
for  peace  negotiations 
independence 


His  people,  he  tells  us,  are  not  fighting  for 
slavery,  but  for  independence;  that  they  can- 
not and  will  not  return  and  place  themselves 
again  under  the  Government  of  the  United 
States  upon  any  terms;  that,  in  fact,  they  are 
resolved  upon  an  independent  Southern  con- 
federacy, and  will  "  die  in  the  last  ditch"  rather 
than  surrender.  Accepting  this  report  of  Mr. 
Gilmore  as  conscientiously  correct,  we  accept 
this  fact  as  thus  abundantly  established— that 
our  only  available  negotiators  for  peace  are  such 
masters  of  diplomacy  as  Gens.  Grant  and 
Sherman,  and  that  invincible  seafaring  ambas- 
sador, Admiral  Farragut.  From  a  coreful 
reading  of  Mr.   Gilmore's  report  of  this  late 


Nort 


Gen.  Grant,  therefore, 
to  send  into  the  rebel  capital 
behalf  of  peace. 
His  style  of  argument  in  favor  of  reunion  is  so 
convincing  that  we  are  quite  sure  his  presence 
in  the  rebel  capital  will  at  once  settle  the  ques- 
>  believe  that  any  overtures 
in  view  of  peace  negotiations 
be   entertained    by  Jt  ft'

On  the  moonlit  valley's  breast. 

A  diamond  wand  in  her  right  hand 
A  broidered  banner  rare, 

And  she  sighing  looked  on  the  scent 
Through  the  brown  of  the  dewy  air. 

One  by  one  young  planets  winked 

Through  the  v.-il  of  (In-  twilight  sk\

From  a  harem  heauty'B  eye.

Fell  sadly  soft  and  mild, 
And  the  world  heneuth  was  stilly  «-idn 

As  the  soul  of  a  sleepiug  child. 
The  iT.liiu  impped  idong  the  path 

Nigh  tame  as  tame  may  he  ; 
The  black  bat  flitted  closely  by 

From  the  shade  of  the  linden  tree. 


'I've  seen  the  blackened  chasni  yawn 
For  a  ship  on  the  foam-rimmed  wave, 
But  the  wild  surge  shrank  like  a  frightened 

At  the  prayer  of  the  wilder  brave. 

'  I've  seen  the  lightning's  forked  flame 

Dart  down  with  a  mission  to  slay, 

But  the  maiden's  cry  up  quicker  came, 

And  the  fire-lance,  turned  away. 


'There  is

There  is  joy  for  the  penitent's  tear, 
O  God  !    that  the  ensign  of  havoc    should

And  the  rivers  ran  ruddily  there. 

"•Your  spirit,    vain    man!    should   be    dove-

But  the  gates  of  your  Eden  so  passing  fair 

Ope  wide  to  the  serpent  still" 
The  seraph  said,  and  unseen  away 
Flew  back  to  the  realms  of  light, 
And  the  evening  star  waxed  brighter  then 
In  the  gloom  of  the  gathering  night.

"And  who,  pray,  are  the  Melvanes?" 
"Don't  know  exactly— they  are  not  Americans. 
They  are  very  rich,  I'm  quite  sure  of  that." 

Here  the  two  young  men  walked  out  of  hearing. 
It  was  the  only  connected  conversation  I  heard 
froro  the  piazza,  so  I  happened  to  remember  it. 
But  it  had  passed  from  my  mind  long  before  the 
next  morning,  and  was  only  recalled  by  a  remark 
made  to  me  by  Felton,  one  of  the  gent"

"Yes,  I  know  it,"  I  said,  feeling  the  old  cloud

and  I  only  gave  them  the  interested  glance 
man  gives  t 


foreign  land.  Their  look  was  unmis- 
takably Scotch,  of  the  educated,  upper  class.  Re- 
solving that  I  would  introduce  myself  to  them  on 
the  plea  of  a  common  nationality,  so  soon  as  an 
opportunity  occurred,  I  went  on  with  my  break- 
fast, listening  with  placid  interest  to  the  talk  go-

I  was  absent  all  that  day.  I  went  out,  as  I  had 
done  several  times  since  my  arrival  here,  alone  in 
a  little  rowboat.  The  sea  was  glowing  with  sunBet 
gold  as  I  at  last  left  my  boat  and  walked  up  the 
sands  to  the  house.  Instead  of  going  up  the  broad 
gravelled  way  I  passed  through  a  small  oak  grove 
that  formed  a  part  of  the  grounds  of  the  hotel.    I

I  came  close  to  this  I  saw  the  gleam  of  a  lady's

had  passed  her  hand  through  the  greenery.    All

It  is  four  years  since  I  last  saw  Christine 
Lindsay.  Knowing  the  hopelessness  of  my  love, 
I  still  possessed  the  dear  knowledge  that  she  had 
once  loved  me  even  as  I  still  loved  her.  I  could

wondering  if  they  were  aB  happy  as  they  seemed. 
The  summer  season  was  getting  to  its  height, 
and  every  coaeh  to-day  had  brought  some  new 
arrival.     I  had  come  from  Havre  but  a  few  weeks

but  I  continued  walking,  and  answered  :

at  all,  but  merely  for  the  sake  of  relieving  his  own

The  shelter  of  a  mother's  love  is  needful  even  for

Nina  staunchly  supportod  this  doctrine  to-day,  in 
the  excitement  of  the  ehase,  and  glowed  with 
eagerness,  like  the  rest,  when  another  fox  was

ipeedily  on  any 
uBual  exe.tement  seemed  to  brood  over  the  little 
party  from  Beechwood  as  they  quietly  v 
their  way  homeward.  Mr.  Marsh  and  Colo 
George  rode  some  few  yards  in  advance  of  Nina 
and  her  cousin.  Nina  was  pale  and  listless,  and 
drooped  over  her  saddle  as  if  thoroughly  wearied 
by  her  unwonted  exertions.  Captain  Marsh,  for  a 
time,  copied  her  mood,  and  was  also  silent.  He 
was-not  impulsive  by  nature.  In  speaking  words 
of  love  to  Nina,  whom  he  could  not  respect,  he, 
according  to  her  assertion,  backed  by  his  own  uu- 
with   dismay   to   analyse.

his   own  personal   dignity  in   confronting  bis 

de's  housekeeper.     She  was  a  lady,  so  far  as 

appearance  and  manner  could  make  her  one,  and 

Cyril  was  too  secure  of  his  own  position  to  make 


those  critical  distin 

etious  which  betrav  self-made 

Mrs.  Trent  began  the  conversation  in  a  tone  of 

piiet  simplicity.

-Miss  Nina  is  no 

free   to   accept   miv  atfeiidmi 

from  you,  sir." 

"  Then  you  have  put  me  more  in  the  dark  than 
ever,  Mrs.  Trent.  I  am  convinced  that  Miss  Nina 
does  not  perceive  any  legal  barrier  to  an  under- 
standing between  us,  although  she  acknowledges 
to  some  moral  impediment,  which,  at  times,  she 
allows  me  to  hope  may  be  surmounted.  I  am  not 
apt  to  be  over-expansive,  Mrs.  Trent,  but  it  is  use- 
less trying  to  conceal  that  which  you  already  know 
so  well ;  only  it  seems  to  me,  if  you  really  wish  to 
benefit  either  of  us,  you  must  be  more  explicit.'' 

"  Unfortunately,  sir,  I  am  so  placed  that  a  full 
confidence  would  not  only  be  a  personal  injury  lo 
""?,  but  rank  treachery  to  another.  1  must

And  Mrs.  Trent  bowed  and  re-entered  her  room,

Captain  Marsh  was  always  pitiless  after  he  ha.. 
been  betrayed  into  confessions  which  ii,  slung  hii 
to  know  were  so  true  and  irrepressible.  Nina' 
attitude  was  humble  and  dejected  enough,  but  i 
gained  her  no  quarter.  Cyril  kept  his  eyes  stead 
ily  on  her  face,  whilst  he  Baid,  in  a  cold,  measure

There  was  a  sudden  bright  flush  on  her  oheel

in  a  tone  of  cool  obstinacy.

perhaps,  as  no  one  cognizant  of  all  the  circum-

ishment,  and  I  devoutly  hope  that  it  may  go 

Is  there  any  risk  Of  this?" 
I  hardly  know  ;  but  I  have  felt  for  some  time

"  I  am  Mr.  Marsh's  housekeeper,  and  I  have  no

"But — excuse  me— I  saw  him  here,  in  your

"  You  have  also  dono  me  the  favor  to  enter  my

The  late  Military  Operations  in  Virginia— Their 
Important  Results. 

Gen.  Ghant  has  succeeded  in  anq&errmportant  step  towards 
the  reduction  of  Richmond.  He  has  done  this  not  without 
considerable  losseB,  but  his  gains  are  immeasurably  greater. 
All  the  late  mysterious  and,  to  the  common  observer,  inex 
plicable  movements  of  our  troops  from  the  south  side  of  the 
-Tames  river  to  the  north  side  and  back  again,  and  up  the 
Shenandoah  valley  and  down  silt. tin,  iind  their  solution  in  the 
capture  and  occupation  of  the  Weldon,  Wilmington  and 
Charleston  railroad,  the  main  artery  between  Eiohmond  and 
Georgia,  the  head  and  the  heart  of  the  rebellion.  Without 
dwelling,  however,  upon  the  beautiful  strategic  movements  and 

success,  let  us  briefly  consider  the  value  of  the  new  position, 
over  which  the  lines  of  the  heroic  old  army  of  the  Potomac 


Down  to  the  4th  of  July,  1863,  there  were  three  great 
railroad  arteries,  with  numerous  ramifications,  between  Rich- 
mond and  the  rebellious  States,  reaching  even  to  the  abundant 
military  supplies  and  reinforcements  on  the  west  side  of  the 
Mississippi,  byway  of  some  one  of  numerous  crossings ;.  ion- 
the  300  miles  of  the  river  held  by  the  enemy  between  Yicks- 
burg  and  Port  Hudson.  With  the  capture  of  Vickshur-  by 
(1,1,,  Giant,  all  the  country  on  the  west  side  of  the  Missis- 
Next,  with  the  terrible  defeat  and  expulsion  of  Bragg  from 
Chattanooga,  including  the  expulsion  of  Longstreet  from 
Knoxville  and  East  Tennessee,  one  of  the  three  great  southern 
arteries  to  Richmond,  the  "Virginia  and  Tennessee  railroad, 
was  severed.  Now,  with  the  late  successful  extension  of  his 
lines  by  Gen.  Grant,  the  main  and  direct  railroad  from  Rich- 
mond to  Georgia  is  cut  off,  so  that  the  only  railway  line 


now  remaining  between  Richmond  and  the  South  is  the  in- 

h-viorr>iivi]k'  liito.  :i  ltastdyand  impcrieetly  constructed  road, 
passing,  by  a  circuitous  and  out-of-the-way  route,  around  to 
Vwlnmi-tnii  and  Charleston.  This  single  track  railway,  will) 
its  primitive  wagon  tire  rails,  is  the  last  remaining  link  for 
military  purposes  between  Liciintond  and  Georgia. 

Now,  when  it  is  remembered  that  Lee's  army  and  the 
cities  of  Richmond  and  Petersburg  are  mainly  dependent  upon 
Georgia  ior  their  provisions,  the  loss  which  they  have  suffered 
in  the  loss  of  the  great  Weldon  line  may  l.e  ii.nn:.;iiu-'d.  Thai 
Gen.  Lee  fully  comprehended  tbe  loss  of  this  vital  line  is 
very  evident  from  his  desperate  attempts  of  three  successive 
days  and  nights,  by  furious  charges  in  solid  columns,  to 
n  ,ovi  >  u  'the  neatest .difficulty  experienced  by  Gen.  Grant 
in  this  campaign  has  been  the  difficulty  of  getting  Lee'  out 
of  Ins  <-a;-II>.\vi>rl-;s.  From  Spoils\hania  Cmu  t-house  down  to 
the  Chicahominy/iand  thence  to  Petersburg,  Gen.  Grant, 
in  flanking  his  wily  adversary  out  of  one  strongly  fortified 
position,  has  never  been  able  to  catch  him  till  snugly  shel- 
tered behind  another.  But  at  PoiersVmr-.  (lie  chain  of  Lee's 
hidingplaces  ends  ;  and  hence  Gen.  Grant's  flank  n 
upon  the  Weldon  road,  through  which  Lee's  army  1 


the  [favorable  time  ot  a  dark  night,  and  in  the  midst  of  n 
heavy  Btorm,  to  make  his  assault.  It  was  an  eflort  marked 
with 'the  [cunning  of  an  Indian,  and  the  energy  of  despair 
<>,.,  the  :,.,t  of  the  attacking  rebel  columns,  audit  wks  a  surprise 
to    our  unprotected  troops,  and  yet  the  attack  was  a  failure, 

From  these  facts  the  intelligent  reader  will  perceive,  taking 
on  both  sides  around  Richmond,  and  away 

Shenandoah  valley  into  the  estimate,    ns  parts  of

The  blue  Hills  danced  with  Joy,  and  the  ribbed 

Leavea 
Of  the  broad  Chestnuts  quivered— the  lithe 

Bending  their  Whiplike  Stems  in  the  glad  Air, 
As  gulden  Grain  in  a  Sim-ripened  Field, 
Swept  over  by  the  swimming  Evening  Breeze, 
Answers  its  toying  Breath.  All  Nature  throbbed 
Thiougb  its  quick  Pulse,    responsive  to  the 

That  firBt  awoke  the  Lyre,  calling  out  Song, 
Freshborn    and    joyous    from    its    quivering 

Wires- 
New  Threads  on  which  great  Thoughts  and 

Dreams  were  strung 
Into  the  Web  of  the  young  Melody. 

Wheeling  through  the  blue   Breadth   of 

cloudless  Heaven,- 


The  crouching  Panther  sleeked  its  speckled 

Hide,       . 
With  rasping  Tongue,  and  quenched  its  fire- 
lit  Eyes 
Beneath  a  strange  Delist :  beside  it  moved, 
In  mazy  Coils,  the  pied  and  flittering  Snake, 
Glancing,  a  living  Rainbow  in  the  Gladness      ' 
Of  its  awakened  Hearing  ;  while  the  Doe 
Forgot  to  browse,  as  on  its  gentle  Ear 
The  unwonted   Music    rippled.      Beast  and 

Reptile  and  Bird,  and  Tree,  and  Cloud,  and  I 

■Earth, 
Ocean  and  Stream,  woke  to  the  first-born  Song:

Forth  from  his  riven  Mouth  a  Roar  of  Pain 
Burst,   Shrieklike.     On  the  Dove  the  Eagle 

stooped, 
Rending  its  pale  gray  Plumes  with  iron  Beak 
And  dappling  them  with  Blood.    And  then  the 

Wind, 
Smiting  the  Trees  together,  as  in  Sport, 
Wrenchedfrom  the  Sward  their  lusty  timbered 


In  sable  Gloom,  and  overshadowing  All 

That  walked  on  Earth— Peal  upon  Peal  brake

The   Thunder,    while  the    arrowy  Lightning

Him  who  had  slain  the  Deer. 

When  Orpheus  saw 
What  chanced,  in  a  white  Agony  he  raised 
His  face  to  question  God. 

Then  the  Storm  passed. 
Beasts  sought  their  Caverns— the  undying  Sun 
Bathed  Earth  in  living  Light.     In  answering 

Joy, 
Earth  veiled  the  uprooted  Trees  with  a  green 

Cloak 
Of  Grass  and  Ivy— from  the  Lightning-slain 
The  rotting  Flesh  sank  .Sluicelike,  till  it  grew

Upon  the  evening  of  that  day  Mr.  Pledwell  as- 
tonished me  by  proposing  that  I  should  become  at 
once  a  member  of  the  firm,  to  be  known  hereafter 
as  Pledwell  &  Hart.    Here  was  proof  that  I  was

therefore,  I  only  accepted  "

the  city.  He  had  sailed  with  my  husband  as

Mrs.  Lvne,  I  have  a  very  clear  perception  of 
duty  in' this  matter,  and  I  think  it  would  do 
Captain  Wrayallsome  good  to  let  him  see  that  two

It  was  that  cursed  28th  November.  That  date. 
How  strangely  it  affected  me.  And  so  discovering 
the  cause,  the  effect  at  mice  passed  away. 

"Now,  Mr.  Hart,  I  have  told  you  all  this,"  the 
widow  resumed,  "  that  I  might  feel  free  to  say

social  enjoyment,  having  steadily  refused  every 
invitation  to  attend  places  of  amusement,  or  of 
any  other  sort  which  would  expose  to  her  the

.  George  had  gathered  round 
her  a  select  party  of  friends.  She  was  expecting 
her  son  to  arrive  at  eight  o'clock,  and  as  it  was 
contrary  to  Balmwiek  etiquette  to  have  an  unoc- 
cupied person  at  these  reunions,  Mrs.  St,  George 
had  only  invited  six  guests,  making,  with  herself 
and  eon,  exactly  enough  for  two  rubbers. 

The  present  party  consisted  of  the  three  Misses 
Grimaldenne,  a  Mrs.  Sturt  and  Mi-,  and  Miss 
Mervyn.  Miss  Grimaldenne,  the  eldest  of  th 
MissJaquett; 
the  second,  was  sprightly ;  Miss  Amorosa,  th 
thud,  was  languid  ;  but  all  three  were  equally  and 
painfully  lean,  and  would,  by  the  fashion  of  " 
aing  toilettes,  absolutely  insist  upon  advertis- 
thia  leanness,  instead  ui  k<  epmg  it  imidest.lv  in

Mrs.  Sturt  was  a  direct  contrast  to  the  lean  sis- 
terhood, being  ponderous  iu  person,  and  heavy  in 
intellect.  At  the  same  time  she  played  a  good 
rubber,  having  a  certain  method  of  arranging  her 
cards  which  helped  her  money,  and  kept  her  to 
oue  steady  system,  easy  to  fathom  and  respond  to 
by  her  partner. 

Little  Miss  Mervyn— as  her  friends  loved  to  call 
1  er— was  one  of  those  gushing,  sympathetic  crea- 
tures whose  whole  life  is  an  unconBcious  sacrifice 
to  Borne  favorite  tyrant.  She  was  a  reverent  lover 
of  all  God's  works— asimple,  true-hearted  wi 
who  might  have  had  foibl 
rendered  her  ridiculous,  b 
was  noted  for  many  of  those  qualities  which  mark 
the  true  Christian.  It  might  he  truly  said  of  hr 
that  she  loved  her  neighbors  as  herself.  She  m 
open  to  affection  from  all  quarters,  as  she  often 
declared  ;  but  the  love  of  young  pi 
especial  pride  and  joy  ;  she 
them,  made  up  mate  lies  for  then:  in  her  i 
bungling  way,  and  generally  persuaded  t 
a  passion  more  or  less  sim-ere,  in  order 
the  pleasure  of  laughing  or  crying  with  t: 


such  an    indulgent    audience,    and 
restrain  those  warm  emotions  which 
our  mistaken  partiality  has  led  us  to  cherish  too 

iimi-i-  life  other  girls." 

Amorosa  sighed  demonstratively,  and  pinched 
in  her  thin  lips  to  show  that  she  was  making  the 
effort  at  restraint  so  impressively  recommended 
by  her  eldest  sister;  but  this  little  pantomime, 
although  specially  designed  for  Colonel  St, 
George's  edification,  seemed  to  make  bnt  small 
impression  upon  him,  even  if  it  attracted  his 
attention  at  all.  Guided  by  some  instinct  of  re- 
pulsion towards  poor  little  Miss  Mervyn— impossi- 
ble    to     understand,     considering     the     gentle, 

enderness  of  its  object— Colonel  St. 

busily  devising  the  means  of  sitting 


itly  proposed  that  she  should  be  his 
r, 'in  order  that  he  might  sit  opposite  her 
than  at  her  side.  But  Mrs.  Sturt,  whose 
methodical  mind  could  never  accept  any  innova- 
tion on  the  established  order  of  things,  asserted 
that  it  was  always  customary  to  cut  for  partners, 
as  she  should  really  feel  seriously  uncomfortable 
if  this  rule  were  set  aside.  Colonel  St.  George 
had  no  alternative  but  to  obey,  only  luck  favored 
him,  and  brought  him  the  very  privilege  he  bad 
meant  to  appropriate  without  satisfying  the  usual 

Miss  Mervyn  sighed,  not  a  huge,  obtrusive 
sigh,  such  as  Amorosa  had  favored  the  company 
with  a  few  minutes  before,  but  a  suddenly-drawn 
breath,  betraying  some  inward  perplexity  mid 
pain.  Itwas'a  marvel  to  herself,  later,  how  she 
could  have  sat  so  patiently  through  four  inter- 
minable rubbers,  sorting  her  cards  properly, 
following  suit,  and  even  extorting  enough  sagacity 


"Amorosa,''    said  Miss  i 
"  your  vulgarity  surprises  me  1" 

"  As  to  me,  I  never  take  notice  of  snch  remarks,' ' 
interrupted  Jaquetta.  loftily;  "they  may  always 
be  attributed  to  jealousy  and  spite." 

"Jealousy!    Hal  ha!  ha  I"  laughed  Amorosa.

Meanwhile,  Colonel  St.  George  had  returned  to

The  colonel's  feet  were  on  the  fender,  and  he 
was  looking  somewhat  moodily  into  the  fire.

Atlanta  Ours  —  Grant  and  Sherman  as 
Peace  Ambassadors. 

.    Sherman's    magnificently    conducted 
Georgia  campaign  has  at  length  been  crowned 
a  decisive    and    comprehensive  victory. 
The  capture  of  Atlanta  tells  the  welcome  story. 
It  practically  demolishes  the  rebellion  from 
Georgia  to  the  Mississippi  river,  and  reduces 
fighting   capacities   of  Jeff  Davis   to   his 
armed  forces  in  Virginia. 
"      apping  the  railroad  leading  South-west- 
v,  ri.<  West  Point,    to  Moiugouiorv,  Ma- 
after  cutting  the  Augusta  road,  Gen. 
Sherman    rendered    the    situation   of   Hood, 
•within  his   strong   eii'-i  t  cliivu   fortifications  of 
Atlanta,  exceedingly  uncomfortable;  but  when 
Sherman's  right  wing  was  swung  around  so  as 
er  the  road  leading  South  to  Macon,  a 
stubborn  struggle  to  recover  it  or  a  stealthy 
ation  of  Atlanta,  if  possible,  hecnnie  the 
only  alternative  to  Hood.     True  to  his  fighting 
proclivities,   right  or  wrong,   he  adopted  the 
desperate  alternative  of  risking  city  and  army 
an  effort  to  dislodge  his  powerful  adversary 
the  point  of  the  bayonet  from  this  Macon

The  only  alternative,  in  our  judgment,  now 
remaining  to  Hood,  if  still  resolved  to  "  die  in 
the  last  ditch,"  is  to  try  the  experiment  of  a 
junction  with  Gen.  Lee,  in  Virginia.  True,  the 
prospect  in  this  direction  is  gloomy,  for  the  vic- 
torious Yankee  army  of  Atlanta,  whatever  route 
he  may  take,  will  doubtless  follow  close  upon 
his  trail;  but  Hood  needs  assistance,  which  he 

Lee.  In  view  of  some  such  enterprise,  the  oc- 
cupation of  the  Weldon  railroad  by  Gen.  Grant 
will  render  him  a  double  service.  He  then 
Btands  a  la  Vicksburg,  directly  between  the 
army  of  Lee  and  the  army  of  Hood,  and  thus 
interferes  as  much  with

Conclusion  of  Volume  XVIII. 

"With  this  number  we  close  eighteen  vol- 
umes of  this  paper,  and  thuK  rapidly  approach- 
ing the  second  decade  of  its  existence,  we  may 
be  pardoned  for  a  feeling  uf  pride  at  having  been 
the  first  to  establish  a  successful  Illustrated 
Paper,  fully  up  to"  the  requirements  of  the  time, 
and  consequently  possessed  of  those  charac- 
teristics which  make  popularity  a  result  be- 
yond question. 

Knowing  what  the  public  requires,  we  spare 
no  effort,  no  talent,  no  expense  to  lay  before 
them,  week  by  week,  an  illustrated  record  of 
all  that,  is  exciting,  absorbing,  curious  or  inter- 
esting in  the  events  of  the  day. 

During  the  present  sad  civil  war  our  paper 
has  been  a  living  history.  Generals  in  every 
section  attest  the  fidelity  of  our  sketah.es  ; 
foreign  papers  recognise  in  our  illustrations 
that  fidelity,  truthfulness  and  artistic  merit 
which  leads  them  almost  uniformly  to  copy 
ours  in  preference  to  any  other  illnstiutions. 

Frank  Leslie's  Illustrated  Newspaper 

is  not  only  an  Illustrated  Journal,  it  is  a 
Family  Paper  of  the  highest  order.     Its  Tales, 

Sk.-iehes  mid  1'oems,  esrlusivoly  origin;

>osition  of  Sher- 
the  late  battle, 
and  that  a  similar  result  will  soon  follow  we 
are  entirely  confident.  The  spasmodic  ac- 
tivity and  threatening  demonstrations  of  Early' 
forces  in  the  Shenandoah  valley  are  much  th 
same  as  the  movements  of  Wheeler,  Eoddy 
and  other  rebel  raiders 
They  are  bu 

the  gross  to  divert  the   sportsman 
nest  in  the  bush  at  his  side,  flutteriugs  which 
Grant  and  Sherman  thoroughly  comprehend. 

We  congratulate  the  army  of  readers  of  thfe 
journal  on  the  glorious  prospect  before  us. 
The  Secretary  of  War  has  officially  amioum-ec 
the  cheering  intelligence,  to  the  country,  thai 
instead  of  the  500,000  men  caUed  for  by  tht 
President  in  his  last  order  for  a  draft,  300,00( 
will  suffice  for  all  the  purposes  of  this  war  ;  anc 
that  "100,000  new  troops,  promptly  furnish 
ed,  are  all  that  Gen.  Grant  asks  for  the  capture 
of  Richmond,  and  to  give  the  finishing  blow  t 
the  rebel  armies  yet  in  the  field."  With  uc 
itioning  faith  in  Gen.  Grant's  carefull; 
considered  requisition,  we  entertain  the  hope 
fresh  troops,  which  he  is 
satisfied  will  enable  him  to  finish  up  the  dis- 
tled  Confederacy  and  tottering  despotism 
of  Jeff.  Davis,  East  and  West,  will,  by  a  just 
aud  patriotic  people,  be  promptly  supplied. 
Grant  and  Sherman  are  the  only  peace  ambas- 
sadors,' whose  overtures  and  arguments  in 
behalf  of  peace  are  sure  to  prevail.  Let  us
