THE GRECIAN WIFE.
BT MISS LOUISA HENRIETTA SHERIDAN. •
In the summer of 1832, an English party con
sisting of a lady, her son, and daughter, prevailed
on me to accompany them on a voyage to the
mediterranean, professedly to explore the beau
ties of its shores, but in reality to try the effect of
sea air for the invalid Clara, the youthful idol of
our circle, whose gently expressed wish for my
society had all the power of a command; and, af
ter a prosperous passage along the coast of Italy,
their commodious yacht brought us among those
themes of ancient and modern song, the Greek
Isles. The novel scenery, with the luxuriant
vegetation of its exquisite climate, enchanted our
W invalid; and Ypsara appearing to elicit her strong
est preference, we decided on reposing there after
our voyage, and took a temporary residence near
Ajio Sotira; from hence we daily made excur-
sions to places inaccessible for a carriage ; Clara
being frequently induced by her picturesque en
thusiasm to overtake her failing strength.
Having often heard of the remarkable view
from Mount Mavrovouni, she was tempted, one
cool, grey morning, to visit it early with Frederick
and myself; and we remained sketching from dif
ferent points, unmindful of the sultry glory of a
southern midday sun, until turning to address
Clara, I peiccivcd she had fainted over her spirit
ed sketch. In great alarm, Frederick bore her to
wards a sequestered villa we had previously re
liarked, while I almost flew up the path before
him, to solicit assistance, until a sudden turn
brought me beneath a verandah, and in presence
ola youug Greek lady.
Never shall I forget the noble vision of lovcli
nc;s wh.ch met my gaze, as I breathlessly explain
«d. and apologized for my intrusion. In all the
v inaoslic freshness of early womanhood, she was
seacd watching the slumber of a cherub boy,
W|ldsc rounded check was pillowed by her arm ;
hst costume, of the richest materials, selected with
t hcskill of a painter, consisted of a foustanclla
ofttie lighestgreen satin, under an open guna
robi of violet velvet, starred and embroidered in
gold and displaying her swan-like neck and
bust covered by a pearl network; the small fessi
cap ,f crimson velvet, encircled with gold zechins,
was ightly placed on her profuse silken-black
half and, as she listened, my request was alrea
dy biswered from the depths of her soft lustrous
eye*,ere her reply, in the purest Italian, could
find itterance.
• Qlira was soon established on the gorgeously
arayid couch, and recalled by the gentle cates so
grapifully bestowed by the fair Greek, whose in
fant charge, now awake and gaily lisping, had
ncslbd into my arms, and was archly misleading
my efforts to pronounce his name, Polizoidcs, cor
rectrr. His joyous exclamation first made ns a
warc of the arrival of air officer, of slight, elegant,
► and very youthful appearance, so strikingly like
our lovely entertainer, that I asked, with almost
certainty, “11 vostro Fratello, Sigmora ?” A
blush of pleasure accompanied her switing reply :
“ fa ; it mio Murito, Loehagos* Mavromi
killh."
' > The boy was instantly in his father’s arms, who
welcomed us with a graceful and high-bred cor
diality ; and we prolonged our stay while he dis
count] on the stirring themes of national inter
est, with all the impetuous energy natural to his
youlli, his country,and profession of arms; the
j fond eyes of Anastasonla, no longer languid, echo
ing bis rapid eloquence with their kindling flash,
indicating the possession of woman’s most beau
tiful and most fatal gift, intense feeling. So
charmed were we with these youthful lovers
(who we found ware also orphan cousins,') that
theif miniated wish for increasing oar intimacy
was met with equal fervour. We found both
were highly gifted: and exceedingly well inform
jwod; land from that time scarcely a day passed
without a visit or note between us.
About six days after this occurence, Frederick
Veram came in hastily one morning, looking
agitated and deadly pale ; Clara, with an invalid’s
perception, eagerly demanded the cause.
“ The whole town is ringing with a spirited
but most hapless act of Mavromikalis’,” he re
| plied; “he was ordered by Ektatos ] Koliopulos
f to ma'clr with his regiment against Ajio Steffano,
which happens to be his native village, inhabited
by hit relations and family retainers; he calmly
requeued an exchange of duty for some other
not requiring a personal conflict againt the actual
4* tiesdi nature; but he was coarsely ordered to
I march instantly, or surrender his sword as a trai
,| tor his party. Highly excited by this unexpected
J alternative, ho hisitaled, and remained silent;
when a foreign officer advancing, laid his hand
i on the sword, saying, superciliously, “ Lochagos,
: you must renounce that of which you make no
f use 1 Mavromikalis felled him to the earth, drew
' ~ the sword, and saying, “it should never be stain
ed by himself, or disgraced by another,” he snap
ped the blade, and threw it at the feet of the com
manding officer.”
“ Knowing his impetuous character,” said
Clara, “ I can scarcely blame him; but what will
be the result 1”
“ Alas! there is no uncertainty,, dearest; guil
ty of having rebelled against orders, and of strik
ing his superior officer, he is taken to the b orl
prison, and by the Greek military code, the sen
tence of death is inevitable I”
» . » • *
On recovering from the first shock of this
: overwhelming intelligence, I proceeded to the
villa; here a hurried and defaced note from An
ti astasoula awaited me, stating, “ She had gone to
seek the aid of a distant friend; alone, and dis
guised, lest she might be intercepted,” Sadly
; 1 returned home, and found Frederick had sought
■ admission to the prisoner in the Fort; but this
i the foreign sentinel had refused, coarsely saying,
,fc, ‘lt would be time enough to see him three days
hence, when led forth for execution!”
Asa last resource we framed a petition to the
stern Ektatos, signed by the English and leading
Greeks; but he replied, the state of regimental in
subordination was such, that he had been wait
ing to make a striking sxample of a man of rank
and influence, such as mavromikalis ; and there
fore all interference was in vain.
\f The awful ceremonial of death was arranged
in all its melancholly solemnity; the soldiers,
1 looking pale from their distressing duty, stood
! silent as the grave. A movement arose among
the crowding spectators, and the prisoner was
led forth, no longer in that uniform which had
(proved so fatal, bat habited in the flowing tunic
|and rest of his native place; this, however,' did
(not conceal the hasty ravages of sorrow on his
young frame, hitherto firm though slight,but now
devoid of elasticity as he mournfully stepped to
wards the doomed square. For the first time he
raised his head, and looking towards heaven, was
soon lost in mental prayer; then murmurs at his
extreme beauty came from the crowd, and while
their anxiety was at its most painful height a
• peasant girl pressed in front of the lino, setting
down a lovely boy, who joyously bounded to
wards the condemned, exclaiming, “ Mama ! my
own mama again
That sound caused an electric change in the
bearing of the prisoner, whose abstracted thoughts
were recalled to earth by nature’s soft bonds ;
the long, long embrace,the hysteric maternal cry
of “my Boy ■' my Bay proved to the specta
tors that the unerring perception of affection had
exceeded theirs, and taught the infant boy to dis
f cover, in the disguised prisoner, his own loved
mother, whose life he had thus preserved!
* Lmdiagos] apUllll.
] Exlaloe. governor.
Havmg failed m all her appeals for pardon,
Anas asoula had effected her entrance into the
fort, disguised so that even the prisoner did not
recognize her ; and, professing to be an agent of
Ins wife shad prevailed on him to escape, and
conceal himself on board Vernon’s yacht, where
she added, his family would join him. Hecffcct
sd a she had arranged by faithful agents; but
hehttle thought that his heart’s treasure was to
be the price ot his delivarenee; he had even ex
pericnced a half-reproachful regret that Anasla
soula had not risked a personal interview, to cheer
him for his perilous undertaking ;—.so seldom
does man devine, the devotion of woman, or guess
the ecstasy arising from self-sacrifice for an idol
ized object, intense in proportion to the extent of
what she has relinquished; for the woman who
adores, there is but one hopeless suffering, the
desolating conviction of having lost the beau
which has cast its spells over her first affections.
# * * * *
Ektatos Koliopulus, on learning the exchange,
and concluding the rebel was beyond his reach,
withdrew from the manifestations of popular feel
■nS> aat l fkc heroic Anastasonla was burnt l neat 4
ly lifeless to her house. Her alabaster skin had
been stained to the deep tint of her husband’s
and the resemblance made complete by the sacri
fice ol her luxuriant tresses, so that nothing but
childhood s instinct could have discovered her,—
We soon after received a private intimation, from
the cautions Ektatos, that he had commuted the
sentence of death, for instant banishment from
Ypsara; and having no lies there, we hastily
broke up our establishment, carrying away our
Groak friends, whom we left to retirement and af
fection at Tenedos.
*******
Our English party were at Corfu in 1833,
when the Governor gave an entertainment to the
young Otho, on his route to take possession of his
new I ingdom. I had the honor of waltzing with
this good-natured, plain, flat-featured, Moorish
looking Prince whom I found, like myself, much
fonder of dancing than politics, and who, what
ever sort ofking he may be, is one of the best
waltzing partners in Europe, which is much more
agreeable;) I took an opportunity to relate the
foregoing trait ofhis new nation; and. as I felt
that no waltz-loving prince could refuse a peti
tion while dancing to ‘•The Notrc-dame,” I made
mine in such effective terms, that I bad the plea
sure, soon afterwards, of adding a bright orna
ment to his court in the fascinating Anastasonla,
the devoted young Geek Wife.

“ THE WAR IN FLORIDA :
Being an Exposition »f its Causes, and an
accurate history of the Campaigns of Genet
! ah Clinch, Gaims, and Scott: By n late
Staff Officer. Baltimore. Lewis and Cole
man, 1837.
This is the title of a very handsome volume of
■ 184 pages, printed and bound in a manner in the
ghihest degree creditable to the publishers ; while
1 its narrative of the war and its causes, which is
evry creditably written, cannot fail to be interest
ing to every reader. The causes of tbo war,
particularly, ns developed from autbentia eviden
ces, are rendered exceedingly clear and in
telligible, and the gross misconduct of “ the gov
-1 ernmeflt,” which is evidently the chief one,
and gave rise to nearly all, is exposed in a
manner highly creditable to the independence,
industry, and research of the author; who
has found access to many important documents,
and rendered perfectly intelligible many events
hitherto but indifferently understood, and of
ten misconceived. Ho Jwas evidently an officer
attached to tho staff of Gen. Gaines, and an
intelligent, gentlemanly and zealous one, whom
wc find no difficulty in recognizing. That lie
was warmly attached to the person of Gen.
Gaines, and deeply interested in the honor of bis
campaign, we cannot doubt; and therefore, the
great liberality and justice manifested toward Gen.
Scott, cannot fail to command tho respect mid
■ confidence of the reader; while the conduct of
Gen. Gaines, particularly at Gamp Izard, and in
relation to the celebrated interview with Assiola*
. (or Powell,) and other Indians, (which is mi
nutely detailed,) is often placed in a new and
probably more correct light.
Great credit is justly awarded by tbo author,
to the gallant, intrepid, and excellent Gen.
Clinch; and, among others, our Augusta Volun
toeers figure in it not a little conspicuously and
creditably—witness the following extracts from
some few of the many references to them :
The reader’s attention will now be drawn to
the gallant spirits of Georgia, On tbo receipt of
the distressing account of Major Dade’s defeat
and the subsequent battle of General Clinch,
(one company from Savannah having on the re
ceipt of the earliest news of the disturbances
embarked for Picolala,) a meeting of tho Rich-
Blues and Richmond Hussars of Augusta, was
convened for tho purpose of volunteering their
aid in protecting the ill-fated territory. Tho City
Council, with a commendable, liberality, appro
priated such funds as were required to furnish
arms, ammunition, &c., and every preparation
was in progress to make an early start. Tbo
Ladies of Augusta volunteered to make up their
uniforms, and in less than a week these gallant
men of a gallant State were speeding their way
to Picolala, on tbo St. Johns. These companion,
us indeed most of the others, were composed of
the very elite and wealthiest of tho Slate. It
had been intimated to- Captain Robertson and
Mr. Quartermaster Joseph Beard] that Fort
Dtanc and the posts on tbc St. Johns were poor
ly supplied with ordinance and Quartermaster’s
stores, and in consequence of this rumor, which
was subsequently found to be too true, the Quar
termaster purchased, with funds appropriated by
the council, and look from the arsenal one six
pounder with the ncrcssary equipments, three
hundred rounds of grape, canister, and round
shot, ten thoutand rounds of musket ball and
buckshot cartridges, and a general supply of
Quartermaster’s stores. On the arrival of the
company at .Savannah, this officer increased his
supplies by purchasing ten kegs of ride powder,
live hundred pounds of bar lead, anil all tho ne
cessary articles for making rifle ball cartridges.
Further supplies were drawn on their urrrival at
Picolala, amounting to live thousand rounds of
musket ball ami buckshot caalridgos, two hun
dred rounds of grape and canister shirt, and one
six pounder with equipments. The foresight of
Quartermaster Beard resulted most fortunately,
as the military posts hud, by tho extreme and un
pardonable negligence of tbo War Department,
been reduced so bare, that, in case of attack, they
must necessarily have fallen into the hands of
the enemy. Nothing lint the timely arrival of
these supplies saveil those posts from inevitable
destruction. There being no transportation at Pi
colala, the Quartarmester procured four horses at
Jacksouvillo for the purpose of forwarding one
of tbc six pounders to Fort Drane, but when
they arrived at the former place two of tho hor
ses wore found unfit for service. A train of two
small wagons, and ten chicken carts had fortu
nately been sent by General Hernandez for am
munition and arms for the defence of St. Augus
tine, and a council among the officers of tho vo
lunteers resulted in an order to the Quartermas
ter to press the mule teams into tho service of the
United States in transporting these necessaries
to Fort Drane Drane for the purpose of affording
relief to the brave Clinch, whose supplies were
exhausted. Accordingly the Richmond Blues,
one hundred and twelve strong, with the Camden
and Glynn mounted voluutccrs, numbering twen
ty-seven, and tbc Darien Infantry of about tbc
same force, under their gallant commanders, Cap
tains Robertson, R. Floyd ami T. Bryant, took
up a line of march as an escort to the two six
pounders, ordnance stores, and twenty-five wa
gons and calls laden with provisions, passing
through the heart of the enemy’s country, and
arrived, on the 15th of February, without ob
struction, amidst the cordial congratulations of
the almost destitute garrison of Fort Drane.
Supplies were immediately conveyed under tho
■ same escort to F°rt King, which post was only
saved from abandonment by their timely arrival.
But to como at once to the true stale of facts,
these provisions were promptly shipped by tbo
orders of the Commissary General, and were lan
ded at Picolala, or were ready to land, about the
With of January. The Quartermaster General
Jesup, notwithstanding the urgency of the ease,
grossly neglected to provide transportation to
convey them to the suffering garrison, and they
lay in the store house at Picolata until the 11 lit
or 12//* of February. The indefatigable vol
unteer Quartermaster Beard, of the Richmond
Blues, immediately pressed a number of horses,
carts and wagons into the service, for the pur
pose of affording relief to the brave Clinch, and
with a small escort arrival at Fort Drane in time
to save that and the other military post from de
struction !
Late on the 2€lli, the wing arrived near the
Ouitlacoochec, and encamped about two hundred
and fifty yards from Camp Izard. At four o’clock
the following morning, the river bank was occu
pied by sharp shooter* and two pieces of artille
ry, to cover the crossing, which bad been aelcc
ted very judiciously by Col. Gadsden. Mr.FosTßn
Hloiiokt, of Augusta, belonging to Capt. Ro
bertson’s Richmond Bines, most gallantly prof
fered to swim the river and attach a rope to a tree
upon the opposite side, to facilitate the passage of

, Wo notice, however, a glaring error, which it
may bo proper to point out, in the description of
the battle of Oloklikaha, on the 21st March,
which the author very strangely divides into two
battles, on the 30th and 31st, and stales a num
ber of its events as having occurred in a battle on
tho previous day, when the Indians wore first
discovered. This, however, though a singular
and unfortunate error, does not detract from the

Mll. Jones—Allow mo to recommend to nil
j persons who may have business towards Charles
j. ton, and who may stop a day or so in Aiken, to
patronize Mr. Win. B. Oliver’s hotel, as comfort
, and accommodation will always be found there.
In truth, sir, Augusta has no hotel better furnish
ed or conducted than Mr. Oliver’s. Families will
' find every convenience and accommodation they
could desire. A TRAVELLER.
A smali) So it i„ —A biped, who lias grown lo
the stature of a man. was addressed in the fol
lowing manner, by u gentleman who hud been
I transacting some business with him.
1 “ Yon claim to be a human being! Why, sir,
if you have a soul, ten thousand of its size
would have more room in the shell of a mustard
* seed, than a frog in the pacific ocean. Nay, more,
ten thousand souls like your's might colonize oiu
, the point of a cambric needle, anil live for fifty
years, increasing in a ratio equal to tbc Irish
peasants; and should they then have a civil
‘ war, the vanquished parly would have mountains
' and valleys to to retreat ten day’s journey off.—
1 Why, man, neighbor Gripes’ soul is ns much
larger than the thread of a spider's web; and his
can hardly bo discerned by tbo aid of n micros
copes that magnifies n million of times!” Nonen
tity where is thy children !”
This same biped was a hatter, and actually tried
the experiment of ascertaining how many beaver
bats be could make from a mouse sl;in. It is said
ho would make two dandy hats from the skin of
a good fat flint, #nd two boys’ hats from the skin
of a bed bug. This goes ahead of the steam doc
tor, who said be could make two young men out
’ of an old one, and have enough left to make a
Newfoundland dog. Wooden nutmegs and cu
■ cumber seeds, speak now, or forever after hold
' your peace.
