W. H. Hurlbut.
Daybefore yeeierday evening. through the
politeness of the 41 Intelligencer” office, we
were faruiahtd with ft preel eopy of the fol
lowing, for which we return our thauks, ami
regret that, owing to the prera of waiter for
our yesterday morning’* issue, fi wen then
exoloded.
Kicauoav, V». ( June Jo, J80J.
To Hon. J. /. Whitaker, Mayor t.fAtlanta :
lu aooordaaoe with your orders, Menem
ftoggui, Waikino, Hunoieutt and myself left
Atlanta on the evening of the 2iit instant, in
charge of W H. Hurl but, for Richmond, Va.
We arrived in Lynchburg, Va., on Sunday
morning, the 28dinst., where we were obliged
to remain over until Monday morning, in con
sequence of the trains not running on that
road on the Sabbath.
We arrived in this oily on Monday, the
24th instant, at half past one o’clock, P. M.
Leaving Ilurlbut in oharge of Messrs. Bog-
gus, Watkins and Hunnicutt, 1 proceeded im
mediately to the quarters of President Davis
and reported my business. The President
was so kind as to give me an immediate au
dience. 1 laid before him your orders, the
letter of Hon. B. 0. Yancey, and the dispatch
ce, explaining to him, verbally, the whole
particulars of ths oase, together with the
tacts drawn out, in the examination, by (he
committee in Atlanta, together with the state
of feeliog which existed in our community.
The President examined all the papers and
dispatches personally, and listened attentively
to my statement. He called in consultation
Mr. Toombs, Seoretsry of 8tste, and after a
careful weighing of the whole case, the Gov
eminent came to the conclusion that Hurlbut
was a dangerous man, an enemy to the South,
and that he ought to be held for trial. Mr.
Benjamin, the Attorney General, was also
consulted, but I have not been fully apprised
of bis opinion in the case. Mr. W. M.
Browne, Assistant Secretary of State, teas not
consulted by the Government, yet he gave it
as his opinion, and expressed it with great
boldness, that Hurlbut was a friend to our
Government, and ought to be released at
once. 1 take occasion to say that Mr. Browne
is the ouly man in, or out of the Government
that I have met with in Richmond, who dares
to express such au opinion, in the face of all
the facts of the case. President Davis,
certain satisfactory reasons, concluded to
turn Hurlbut over to the authorities of the
State of Virginia.
By request of the President, Mr. Toombs
aeoutupanied me to Governor Letcher, before
whom the whole case was laid. Guv. Letcher
oame to the same conclusion concerning the
case arrived at by President Davis and Mr.
Toombs, and determined to send Hulbut to
Charleston, on ths warrant of Judge Gi'.cbrist,
Confederate States Commissioner Dispatches
have been received from Charleston, from the
Confederate SlateB Commissioner, and others,
to hold fast to Hurlbut as they want him in that
city, and will probably be sent to South Car
olina, in a few days. I am requested by Gov.
Letcher to remain here for a day or two, un
til a final disposition is made of Hulbut.
The outside feeling in this city against Hub
but is very strong, and if turned loose here,
he would no doubt be summarily dealt with.
He is looked upon here, by all persons, ex
cept W. M. Browne, as a bold audicious man,
a bitter enemy of the South and her instutions,
an abolition writer known to the North and
to Europe for the past twelve years, and a
wholesale slanderer of Southern men. In per
son and manners, he has all the appearance
of a gentlemau. lie is a fine scholar, a man
of very superior talents and accomplishments,
and of very insinuating address, all of which
taken into consideration, makes him far more
dangerous than an ordinary man would be.—
It is hoped that justice will be meted out to
him. WM. 8. BASSFORD.

Richmoso, June 26tb, lb61.
i have just returned from the War Office where
I went to get a paaa or permit, to proceed to Ma-
uaeeaa. Juet think of ft citiseu of the Empire
State of the South, "Native, and to manor
born," having to procure a ticket before be can
be allowed to move about in the good Old Do
minion, where the bones of hie ancestors re
pose ! And yet your correspondent dare not
complain. Indeed, this precaution on the part
ol our military authorities, is rendered ueces-
nary, by the fact, that there is a large number
of spies scattered throughout the State. With
lew exceptions, these spies are men of North
ern birth, but who have heretofore removed to
Virginia, and are now residing here. A large
portion of the population about the Navy
Yard at Norfolk, and the Armory at Harper's
Ferry, and especially in the Western part of
the 8tate, is made up of emigrants from the
free States. They constitute a majority of the
inhabitants in some of the North-Western
counties; and hence the rebellion in that sec
tion, under the lead of Carlisle and the Wheel-
ing convention. You have already seen the
Declaration of Independence which that tory
convention has Issued. They proceed upon
the assumption that the legal authorities of
the State, by withdrawing the commonwealth
from the Union, have abdicated th«.ir offices
and left them vacant; and hence they have
appointed a Governor and Lieut. Governor,
and are proceeding to organise, if not auew for
the whele State, then for one they propoee to
create out of a few disaffected counties beyond
the Blue Ridge.
At lest accounts, there was a good prospect
that this neat of traitors would soon be dis
persed. Gen. Garoett wee within a few miles
of Philippi, (not Philippe,) and 1 have hereto
fore Informed you that Geo. Wise's legion was
gathering along the crest: -f the moaetoins.
ready to pounce upon the enemy. The In*,
praeelon Is gaining ground here, that there Is
too much surplus hemp in Virginia, any way,
and that tome of it might be used to advt*-
tag#. The authorities here, however, ere rath-
or alow ceach.ee—I mean the Stete authorities.
There is a score of traitors hern in Richmond,
right tinder the nose of the Oovernor, and they
might he deteeted if the proper efforts were
made. The member* of the Convention ere
busily engaged in ventillating their peculiar
theories about the famous resolutions of *08;
while many of tbe^'firet families" are devot
ing no small part of their time to “the wild
bunt after office." Under these circumsUneoa,
one need not be surprised that some things are
not done that should be done. But the advent
here of the President and hie Cabinet, has in
fused new life into the public service; end the
consequences is, that resident traitors and Hes
sian soldiers will have to make tracks soon.
There is reason to believe that the Wash
ington Government would be glad to enter up-
ou negotiations for peace, if they were not
afraid of the derm n they have conjured up in
their midst. The commercial, shipping, man
ufacturing and tnonied classes are ripe for
peace; but the infamous politicians and men
dacious newspapers, which control the multi
tude, and the vast army of mendicants in the
shape of contractors, purveyors, and office
hunters, will not consent. Lincoln and Sew
ard have raised a whirlwind which they can
neither ride nor control. Greeley is already
threatening them with the power behind the
throne.
And yet your correspondent believes we
shall have peace by Christmas, and for the
simple reaeon, that the North is too poor to
carry on the war. The people there have had
a large trade, and have made a great deal of
money; but, with the loss of the South, they
are very much in the oondition of a planter
with a hundred slaves and no land to work
them upon. They make nothing of conse
quence to export, except broadstufle, and then
only when the crops are short in England and
along the Baltic and Black seas. With the
exception of Iron, they produce but little of
the raw material of which their manufactures
are composed. They eaunot compete with Eu
ropean manufacturers, and we, who have
heretofore taken ninety-nine-hundredths of
their surplus wares and fabrics, are now buy
iug nothing from them. Nor are they import
ing anything worth naming, as their own pa
pers admit And, with the loss of Southern
trade and Southern cotton, their ships, as well
as their cotton mills, must become idle. Where,
then, is the money to come from to carry on
this war 7
You need not look to Mr. Lincoln’s forth
coming message to ascertain the future policy
of his Government. That will bo full of big
talk, you may be sure. If you desire to get at
the true feeling and intention of the Govern
ment, you should look to the report o r the Sec
retary of tho Treasury—not to the surface, or
the mere verbiage, or hostile tone rf the re
port, but to the literal meaning of it, when
stripped of its outside trappings. If be rec
ommends the establishment of a National
Bank, or n resort to direct taxation, or any oth
er feasiblo plan for raising large sums of mon
ey, then you may rest satisfied that the Gov
ernment means war—otherwise, it will be for
peace.
But my permit lies before me, and my land
lady has filled my haversack with three days
rations, and, like Gen. Beauregard, I shall pro
ceed to extend my lines in the direction of the
enemy. Having promised some of my friends
a scalp, I must proceed to redeem the pledge.
It may bo that your correspondent will lose
hie own scalp in the undertaking. Well
should learn to give as well as take. So,
here goes.
From the Staunton Spectat
The Two Heroines—MIsses Kerr and
McLeod.
The two noble heroines, Misses Abbie Kerr
and Mary McLeod, of Fairmont, Marion
ty, who rode from their home to Phillippa, a
distance of thirty odd mile*, to apprise our
forces there of the approach of the enemy,
arrived in Staunton, by the Western train,
on Wednesday night last, and remained till
Friday morning, when they went to Richmond
Whilst here, they were the “ observed of aU
observers,” and were received with a cordial
welcome. Great anxiety was manifested by
all to bear a detailed account of their inter-
ing adventures from their own lips. They
left Fairmont at C o'clock on Sunday morn-
iog, and hastened, without escorts, to Phillip-
pa. They had not gone a great distance be
fore they found that a shoe of one of the hor
ses needed fixing. They slopped at a black
smith's shop for that purpose, and whilst there
a Union man came up and questioned them
very closely as to who they were, and on what
mission they were going. Mas McLeod replied
to his interrogatories— telling him that their
surname was Fleming, and that they were go
ing to Barbour county to see their relations.
Their interrogator seemed to be very hard to
satisfy, and it taxed the ingenuity of Miss
McLeod to improvise a story which would
succeed in imposing upon him. As soon as the
horse shoe had been fixed, they again proceed
td upon their way, but had not gone far be
fore their evil genius, their interrogator at the
blackemit h shop dashed by them on horsebaok.
They perceived his ^euspioions had" not been
allayed, and that he was going on in advance
vanoe of them to herald the approach of spies.
They allowed him to pass out of sight in ad
vance, and then destroyed the letters they had
in possession, that the search of their persons,
to which they then anticipated thsy would be
required to submit, might not betray them —
When they arrived at the village of Webster,
they found it in commotion, and many per
sons were anxioualy awaiting their arrival in
the eager hope of capturing the spies. They
were there subjeoted to a cross examinatiou.
The heroines were calm self possessed—an
swering their questions without hesitancy—
and expressed a perfect willingness to have
their persons searched by any lady they might
select for that purpose. They were allowed
to pass on, after being detained for some time,
though there were tome iu the crowd who
were very much opposed to it. As soon as they
got out of sight of the village they rode very
r i k ^ *° r might still be arres
ted by some of thoee who were so much oppoa-
, 10 l k«m to proceed They arriv-
ed at 1 hilhppa about 1 o'clock in the after
noon of the same day, and told Colonel Polar
field that the enemy would attack bia camp
that night or tke next morning. These ladieo
then went to the house of a Mr. Huff, about a
mile and a half from Pnillippa where they
stayed all night. The next morning they heerd
the report of the-fieiag at Phillippft, aed, In
disguise, accompanied by ft country woman,
returned to Phillippa on foot to tee what had
been (he result. Thsy moved about amidst
the enemy without being detected or moltfltd
houses they fuund James Withers ; of tho
Rockbridge Cavalry, who had concealed blm-
•elf there to prevent the enemy from eeptur
ing hint These ladies immediately told him
that they would effeoi bis rescue if be would
trust to them, lie very readily consented,
whereupon those ladles disguised him as a
common countryman by furnishing him with
some old clothes They then gave him a bas
ket of soap, with a reeipe for making it, that
be might past as a pedlar of that necessary
artiole. With these old clothes end bis bas
ket of soap on bis trm and gallantly moun
ted upon> mule, accompanied by bis guardian
angels, he passed safely through the crowds
of the enemy, and was brought by them safe
and sound into the camp of bis friends at
Beverly, after a circuitous and herd ride ever
precipitous mountains, where perious seldom,
if ever, rode before. Mis fellow soldiers and
friends rejoiced greatly when be arrived, for
they (bought that he was either killed or fa
ken prisoner by the enemy—they rejoiced that
the supposed “dead was alive, and the lost
was found." He is now known in our camp
ae the “pedlar of soap." The heroic conduct
of these ladies will live in history, and they
will become the heroines of many a thrilling
story of fiction in years to como.
WHAT A WIPE CAN DO.
BY MART C. VAl'GUAH.
Two young ladies sat in a pleasant chain
her, engaged in earnest conversation. They
were sisters, though no stranger, judging by
their features and manners, would have sup
posed them to be connected by ties of blood.
The one, a blonde of the purest type, tall,
voluptuously formed, languid, or more truly
inert, leaned back and swayed hrrpelf gently
in an immense cushioned rockiDg-chair. Her
hands lay listlessly upon her lap, and though
■be spoke fluently, her countenance scarcely
lighted up with a gleam of interest, and the
perfect passivity of her air betrayed her dis
inclination for all physical effort. The other
sister, of medium size, dark, slight, every
movement displaying the restless energy of
her character, seemed busy as she talked.—
Her hands were never, one moment, idle;
face, figure and entire personality were full of
vivid expression and action, that emphasized
and gave force to her words. There was no
repose in her character, while that of her sis
ter had no action. The sisters seemed each
the exact counterpart of the other. The one,
toned down by her languor, the extreme en
ergy of the other; and, unlike as they were,
perhaps because of that unlikeuess, the warm
est and most devoted attachment existed be
t ween them. At the respective ages of eighteen
and twenty, they had been wooed and won.—
They were to be married on the same day, and
that day, concerning which they had been
talking, was now fast approaching.
“ I shall keep no servant,” said Charlotte,
the younger sister. “ A laundress, one day
in the week, can do all the mere drudgery of
so small a household ; and it will be only a
pleasure, and no more than sufficient employ
ment for my time, to perform the regular du
ties of housekeeping ”
Her sister lifted her languid eyebrows with
a passing expression of aurprise, and inter
rupted, to say :
“ You cuunot tueun that you uA) going to
turn cook and housemaid, surely, Charlotte.
1 hope you will not degrado yourself by any
such freaks. You have never done such things
in your father's house, and it would be pre
posterous to commence them iu your hus
band’s.”
“ What do you expect to be—a wife or a
playthihg?” asked Charlotte, dryly. “Be
cause, if you are the one, you have duties
and responsibilities no less binding than those
which James assumes. You are just os much
bound to aid, assist, cheer and encourage him,
ns he is to give you support and mainten
ance.”
“ A fine doctrine for you, who love to work ;
but one that I by no means subscribe to. Of
course, I mean to he a kind and loving wife
to James; but if I look after (be servants he
will provide me with, I shall think my duty
and responsibility fulfilled. Besides, he will
he will have five thousand dollars from papa,
on our wedding day, and the furniture of our
house."
“So will Harry ; but that absolves neither
him nor me from the necessity of labor and
economy.”
“ Well, 1 shall not trouble myself to look at
the subject."
So, saying Clara, to whom the discussion
was, by no means, pleasant, as she had sense
enough to see that her sister was nearer right
than herself, exerted herself sufficiently to
leave her rocking-chair and the room. Char
lotte remained behind, putting the finishing
touches to one article after another of Clara’s
wardrobe. Her own had been, for sometime,
in an entire state of readiness, and she was
now supplying the deficiencies of her sister’*
inertness. A tear or two fell from her dark
eyes as she watched the retreating form, and
her countenance was very sad. But her only
words were, “ And James is just as careless
and thoughtless as «he! What will their fu
ture be ?”
The eclat and excitement of the weddingi
were over, and the two married pairs had re
turned from their short bridal tour, and were
settled in their own homes, which, by the
mother’s careful supervision, had been made
quite ready for them.
One morning, a week after their return,
Clara cime down to the breakfast room about
nine o'clock, where James had been imps
tiently wailing for her more thau an hour.
“ You are late, love,” he said, with an at
tempt at a smile. “ I ought to have been at
the bank before this time. I told you it was
necessary for me to have breakfast at eight
o’clock.”
*• Well, was it not ready ?” Clara asked, as
she languidly seated herself. “ l am sure I
told the cook to have it at eight.”
“ Yes, it was, l believe. 1 think the cook
is punctual, but l did not wish to eat alone.”
“ But you will have to, always, if you must
breakfast at eight. I never rotfe till nine at
home, end I shall be ill all day if I should at
tempt it."
James looked disappointed. He thought his
young wife might have made the exertion for
the sake of a cheerful meal with him in the
morning. But he said nothing, swallowed his
food in haste, and wan soou on bis way to the
bank.
Clare dawdled at the table until the oook
came in to get her orders for dinner. The
conference ended by the dispatch of that func
tionary to markst, attended by the errand boy
with carte blanche as to purchases ; and Clara
went up stairs to practice a little upon the pi
ano, to gaze a long lime from the window, aud
idle away the hours. At dinner a repast was
served sufficient for ten hungry men, and at a
cost whioh would tell severely In the monthly
billa.
In tho meaotimo, bow bad Charlotte pasted
her day. At half past saveo she had oalled
her husband to the nice breakfast table pre
pared by her own hands.
At nine o’clock Charlotte's kitchen and dit
to tbe I jest degree. Going into on# of the very temple of neatness, and wne ready, in
— • her straw bonnet and little gray oloak, to go
to market. By knif pact ten she bad reached
home again, and was ready to seat herself at
her eewing.
8be had already oomruenoed to put Henry's
wardrobe in complete order, and bad ordered
home materials for n eet of thine, which her
own busy fingers were to prepare. Sbe bad
also an interesting book, whioh ebe found
time to reed when tired of work.
So passed tbe day, until it was time to pre
pare dinner. This, though rather bard work,
was done with such will and energy that ob
stacle* vanished, and when Henry returned
the dishes wore ready, end she, with wrapper
laid aside, neatly arraoged hair, and pretty
muslin dress, looked as little as possible like
ncook, as she took her place at the bead of
the table.
With such different household arrangements,
such different plans and purposes, the fates of
these wedded pairs can cauae no surprise in
the minds of any who follow them to the end.
Ten years have elapsed since their marriage
day. James, careless, thoughtless, too fond
of his wife to reprove or remonstrate, too ig
norant of the exact trouble to prevent it by
any wise means, soon found himself in an
embarrassed oondition. fie was irregular in
in bis attendance at business, and made no
advance in position or salary. Little by liltle
the five thousand dollars withdrawn to meet
pressing necessities. Then came debts, des
perate efforts to institute a reform somewhere,
first at home, since there seemed to lie the
trouble chiefly ; efforts met alweye by languid
or stolid indifference on the part of bis wife,
who would not dismiss a servant, or forego a
luxury.
Distraction and trouble led to dissipation,
crime followed drunkenness, and he fled from
bis country to avoid arrest for forgery.
He is supposed to be in California or ono of
the Central American States now, and Clara
and her three children have taken up their
abode at hor father’s house. As inert as a
mother, as she was in her girlhood, Clara sits
ail day in the pleasant chamber, where we
first saw her, now the nurtery, and still makes
no greater exertion than the monotonous sway
ing of her chair, while her children scream
and squabble around her unheeded.
But the position of Henry is as materially
changed for the better, as that of James for
tbe worse. Steady, persevering industrj, un
faltering integrity, nnd a correct life, have led
to advancement. He is now an acknowledged
and influential partner in the Arm. which,
under his guidance, has greatly enlarged its
operations aud increased its wealth. At every
step in his career he has been aided by his
active, prudent, energetic wife.
Charlotte is the mother of four children,
and she no longer plays the part of cook or
chambermaid. But she manages and directs
all the expenditures of her household, &Dd is
as efficient as its head only, as even when she
was its hand also. Truly may her husbnnd
say that “ her price is above rubies ;" while
the poor and wretched wanderer, exiled for
ever from home and country, curses the day
that allied him to the weak and selfish woman
whose extravagance has hurried him to his

Lines on the Eve of My Husband’s Blrtli-
Daj, Now at the Redoubt near Bar
rancas, Fla*
Voice of the summer evo, lull me to sleep—
My spirit is lonely to-night,
As I sit at my window and watch tho bright
stars
Fill the earth with their beautiful light
Ob, soothe me to sleep, sweet song of the wiud ;
Bear my spirit away on thy notes,
To the coast where tho bugle nnd war trump is
hoard,
Where tho flag of our land proudly floats
Let my spirit glide softly thro’ camp and thro’
tent,
I'll break not the warrior’s calm rest,
But in the dim star-light tread soft'till I pause
To bend o’er the form I lovo best;
I will not awake him, but watch by his side
’Till the breath of the moon fans his cheek ;
Thun softly I’ll whisper, “I come, husband
dear,
As ever, they Birth day to greet.”
Oh, summer n'ght, starry night, why in my
soul
Wake tones whose music brings wue?
I wooed tbeo to bear mo away on thy breath
To a loved one in arms ’gainst our foe;
Ah, lonely I sit at my window each night,
And lonely each morrow will break,
For no gentle eyes now watch me to sleep,
No teuder voice bids me awake
Away, falling tears ! those who love most are
brave;
Should I wish thee, beloved, at my side?
When the war cry is ringing throughout our
bright land,
And the hazxard our freedom and pride;
No, dear one, still share in the toils of tho
camp,
'Mid the brave ones who nobly yield all,
Their homes and their loved, resolved thus to-
die,
Ere their flag or their country shall fall.
I will watch for tliee, husband, to come wheu
the sound
Of tbe war cry is hushed, aud the notes
Of the bugle is trilling soft anthems of peaca,
As on hill side and valloy it floats :
’Till then I will tenderly meet thee in dreams,
While our dear ones will smile at thy side,
And bending to kiss each fair brow, thou wilt
feel
Both a father and a warrior's pride.
This summer eve, husband, sweet eve of thy
birth,
I will kits thy cold picture and kneel,
With our darlings around me, asking our Otd
To be thy protection and shield—
To uerve our brave men through the horrors of
war,
Keep our flag ever hoisted and free,
And teach us the glory to weep o'er our brave,
Than as nurslings of cowards to be.
Then, husband, good night—be firm iu your
cause;
Meet our foe in the deadliest strife;
But be kind to the fallen, no longer a foe,
When beneath thee he yields up his life;
Kind, husband, our deac ones are lisping thy
name
As they 1 neel in the shadowy light,
While I, with my hands pressed on their bowed
beaus,
Hoar thy voice whisper fondly—Good night.
