The Fate of Theodosia Barr. ONE OF THE SADDEST TRAGEDIES IN HUTOBt. Correspondence of the Daily Graphic. In yonr edition recently, yoa hare an ar ticle concerning the daughter oi Aaron Barr. She was, indeed, the good angel of that mis guided man, and to James Parton we owe our knowledge of her sweet and lovely character. There is a mystery connected with her disap- § pearance, and, as yon say, “the vessel never reached its destination; was never heard from after leaving Charleston harbor.'’ With your permission, I will tell you what I know of the matter. What I am about to relate may be traditionary in a degree, but still may possess a peculiar inter est to the reader. It was understood, at the time, that the cause of Theodosia’s coming north to her father was because of the differ ences between herseif and husband regarding Barr. Theodosia defended her fathar’s ae- tir \s, while Governor Alston denounced them. This was the cause of a separation. Theodosia embarked in a vessel for New York, in the care of a Mr. Gray, a wealthy South Carolinian. She 'took two of her children with her, also a large quantity of family plate. Tidings of her de parture reached New York, and her arrival was anxiously looked for by the lonely old man. But, alas ! she never came. The be reaved father gave her up as dead; whether the vessel foundeied at sea. or what happened, they never knew. At this time, my great- father, Philip Freneau, visited Burr. As he entered the office, Burr met him, and grasp ing his hands, said, “ Mr. Freneau, I kuow what you came for; I have received no tidings; I am desolate!" As he spoke the tears gushed from his eyes and he cried like a child. Freneau tried to reassure him, but to no effect; the conviction that she was lost to him coaid not be shaken. Touched by the grief of the wretched father, Freneau afterward sent him a poem, entitled “Theodosia in the Morning Star,’* which was published in one of the early editions of his poems. Deprived of the only being who ioved him, friendless and alone, the old maa gradually sank, uutil death ended his grief. Now comes the mysterious part of the sad story. I can not vouch for the troth of it, as I have been uuible to procure anything of a documentary nature bearing upon the subject. Many years ago a notorious pi rate nanied Gibbs was captured, brought to this port, and condemned to be hung and gibbeted. On his condemnation he made a confession, and of other crimes confessed to having captured the vessel which contained Theodosia Alston. He said that he received information that a vessel intended leaving Charleston having on board plate of great value. He resolved to lay in wait for her. He did so, and captured the vessel with all on board. In the struggle for the possession oi the ship many of the crew and officers were killed. Gibbs resolved to put the survi vors to death, as the safest way of disposing of them. Mrs. Alston begged for the lives of herself and children; she offered him all the wealth she possessed, and prom ised to .secure him from harm. She kuecled to him, and entreated him in the most beseeching tones, but the pirate was in exorable. He said that if he saved them he must save the rest, and that he could not do. He now forced them to “walk the plank.” The turn of the two little boys came, and, as they disappeared in the sea, the mother firmly and proudly stepped off the board to follow them. Whether this is the true story of the fate of Theodosia I do not know. If there is a copy of “Gibbs' Confession" in existence, this incideut would very likely be mentioned. If true, it was well that Burr was spared the additional pain ot learning the mode of his • laughter’s death. I give it for what it is worth. Respectfully yours, C. Townsend Huiris. Piermont, New York. July 31. Sir Samuel Baker and his Afri can Wonders. Mr. James Baker of Chester, England, has I received a letter from his brother, Sir Samuel | Baker, dated ou May 13, at Ismailia. a new I town founded by him, and named after the \ Khedive. The letter is written in a magniloquent; btjle. S r Samuel announces that he has succeeded iu “the suppression of the slave j trade and the annexation of the central Nile basin to Egypt.” He says “all enemies have I been crushed, and the Goverement is now J triumphantly established throughout the . country.” It is Sir Samuel Baker’s theory that there is navigable open w.ttei from the mouth of the Nile through Lake Albert Nyanza and Lake Tanganyika, some four hundred miles south of the equator. He thinks, moreover, that these two lakes are really the same huge sheet of water. He writes in this new letter that he has positive information from the people of Uganda, and also from Karagwe merchants, that such is the case. But Liv ingstone says otherwise, and the extreme im probability of open water extending from the Nile to Lake Tanganyika as a matter of physical geography prevents this theory from j finding many advocates: while in matters of; fact and ia the accounts of his adventures Sir j Samuel Baker’s irresistible proclivity to in-1 dulge his imagination in order to throw a halo Condensed Railroad Time Table, Giving the arrival and departure of all Train*, reefed by B;D.

ROGERS & CO., fle ther & freyer, (he story of his exploits. I “ I ■ Sir Samuel Baker gives an interesting ac count of an attempt made by Kabba llega. the ruler of Unyoro-Masindi, to poison him and his troops with plantain cider. More over, while smoking his pipe and walking up and down the drive at Masindi on the next morning, he was suddenly attacked by the natives, as he thus graphically describes: A sharp tire was instantly opened upon me from the castor oil bushes, about fifteen paces distant. A corporal by my side fell, shot through the heart; another man was wounded, then a soldier iell from the fort, shot through the back, and shot after shot flew along the drive and cut through the government house, from the enemy concealed m the cover. In a few minutes we were attacked by about seven thousand men from all sides, who had been concealed in the high grass. But we are told that -‘the enemy was Dot only repulsed, but defeated with great loss, and the capital destroyed.” At this time the whole force of Sir Samuel Baker consisted of 101 men. The expedition on its nttrn reached the Victoria Nile after seven days of fighting and marching. At Fallko, 78 miles to the north I of this and 101 miles south of Ismailia, they] routed a body of slave traders, taking 43 pris oners, 7 flags, 131 slaves, 303 cattle, and kill ing more than half their company. Sir Samuel says: “This nest of pi rates being broken np, the whole country rose as one man to support the Govern ment. At a day's notice 10,000 men would have risen at my word.” At Fatiko, which he calls the paradise of Africa, ba constructed an impregnable fortress with deep fosse and earthwork. A rock citadel, 25 feet perpen dicular height, of about an acre in extent, formed the western base. When he arrived at Ishmalia, he says: “I was delighted to hear that my great work expended in cutting canals through the morasses of the Bahr Gi raffe had established a clean river bed. This is a great trinmph. Similar energy, if be stowed on the obstructions ot the main river would doubtless render the White Nile navi gable as before.” The extreme point reaehed by the expedi tion was the capital of Unyoro-Masindi, in latitude one degree forty-five minutes north, a day’s march from the Albert Nyanza, and 318 miles from Ismailia. Masindi ia a very large town, counting seven or eight thousand »**. The mountains on the west * .he plainly visible from this ot u eten the trees being viable with tele- I | Is. Here the poisoning and the attack took place. On the return they struck the Victoria Nile, 78 miles from Fatiko, and on reaching the latter place had the fight with tb* slavers. The valne of Bak«g*a acquisitions and dis- ..,verier still remaiuto be ascertained.
