ATLANTA, June 28th, 1808.
From the Hartford Courani, June 28!h.
Aa'Extraordinary 'Story.
The fickleness of fortunj is \feTt illustra
ted in the experience of a worthy family in
this city, who have found themselyjb sud
denly raised from that eahditioa in society
where people are said to live in “moderate
circumstances”, to tho. highest pinnacle of
wealth. The facts are tliese: Mrs. Ella
Walker, residing at No. 100 Maple avenue,
is a woman oTlfnglish birth. Her husband
(who is a .machinist by trade) and herself
have resided here for a number of years,
and have several children. It was reported
some months ago that a largo property, val
ued at thirty-five millions of dollars, had
fallen to Mrs. Walker’s father, as a direct
heir, and, he being dehd. that lha whole
amount belonged to her as his only child.—
Steps were at once taken to ascertain the
truth of this report, and cx-Governor T. IT.
Seymore was employed to investigate.
. The result of this investigation is entirely
favorable to Mrs. Walker, documents hav
ing been received which show beyond ques
tion that sire will come in possession of this
immense property, and she, together with
her hnshand and children, will start for Eng
land next week to receive the golden emr.
It is said that upon a full settlement of
all matters connected with this most extra
ordinary “streak of lack,” Mrs. Walker
will return to Hartford and make herperma-
nent residence here. Hnmorhatliitthatshe
will erect upon some eligible site a magnifi
cent mansion, following the style of the
grand villas and castles of Merry England,
which shall excel in grandeur the most cost
ly of jyneriean palaces.
But the.Indy lias, not probably given anv
one permission to make such (^statement.—
It is more reasonable to suppose that some
somegossiper, thrilled hy the intelligence
of the-“windfall,” baa altaraed; las. imagjiia-
tion to picture as Molnotte pictured to Pim-
linc a fairy palace with marble halls by the
Jake of Como. Yet it. wbuld not, ba surpris-
ing if the fortitnate- possessor of thirty-five
millions of solid gohl-should desire to erect
here—where years of toil had been expended'
tofurnish a daily support—a mansion suita
ble to a life of luxury and ease, and. credita
ble to the city which site haa adopted, as
her home’
We congratulate Mrs. Walker nncfihcr
family upon their good fortune. She will
be, when in full possession of her property,,
the richest woman in the United Stares.—
But she is said to be a woman of good sense,
and will not place herself beyond tho reach
of those who have been her friends d nring
the years she has lived here - already we
learn that it is her purpose to make one
family at least, in whom she is interested, in
dependent of want j and probably we shall
be called' upon hereafter to chronicle other
charitable deeds wltiolf her generosity will
prompt..

An Eventful History.
, William H. Wilson, a" very, intelligent
young man of nineteen, pres'ented himself
to ns yesterday morning, antf asked thro’
the Picayune to ho put in communication
with his parents, who he is told are some?
where in New Orleans.- “His history, for so
young a man, which hetoldusin a straight
forward manner, having first made affidavit
to the same before Justice Hero, is one ot
the most eventfqi Of-the eventful histories
ofithowar. Ho tells us he is a native of
Lynchburg, Va.; liis father’s name James
IL Wilson, his-mother,s maiden name Ma
ria Jones. At tlio outbreak of tho war he
sought service, and gojng to Richmond was
tlierc regularly commissioned, by Judah P.
Benjamin, then Secretary, of War, in the
secret service. He was then fourteen years
old, and his comtnissicm was dated Ma-
i 861. With this, he reported first to (
Beauregard, at Manassas; and was thence
sent across the enemy’s -lines. Hoafter-
wards rendered Gen. Johnston and CjeScral
Hill, ‘pnd continued in service until Septem
ber^, 1864, when he was captured at .Ber
muda Hundreds, taken to Norfolk, tried
before a military commission as a spy, con
victed and sentenced to be hung. On ac
count of his extreme youth, his sentence
was commuted hy President Lincoln to
twenty years imprisonment in the Ohio
State prison,.whither lie was at once trans
ferred and confined till May 28th of the
present year—one nKmth ago—when he was
fully pardoned hy Andrew Johnson. The
pardon was dated May 1866, and was
approved by the Secretary of War, and the
object of his declaration before Jnstice He-
- iro was for the purpose of obtaining a du
plicate copy of his pardon, which .for that
purpose will be forwarded to Washington.
■dmmediatelv after liis pardon young
Wilson visited his home at Lynchburg, Va.,
where ho was informed that his parents re
moved to this city, after the closq of the

the exact erase that has set these two great
Powers by the ears. Everybody knows tlial
it is something about Schleswig and Hol
stein; bnt what is it? Here it is: .
By the defeat of Denmark, whom Eng
land encouraged tO'go-.to war and' then de
serted,^the two Great German Pbwers be
came, in 1804, joint possessors of the Du
chies of Schleswig, Holstein and Laucnbnrg.
Less than a year afterward Austria sold
her rights in Lanenberg for two millions five
hundred thousand thalera,-and by the Con
vention of Gastcin it was agreed that the
joint occupation should terminate, that Aus
tria should take possession of Holstein, and
Prussia of Schleswig. This was one step
m . ®e negotiation by which Prussia expect
ed ultimately to become master of both the
Duchies, hut beyond this point Austria re
fused to go, and mgjcctcd every proposition
for the final cession ofher rights to Holstein
’—a province of little value to Austria, hut
of great value to Prussia on account of its
nearness so^^ her frontiers, and’of its seaport
Iviet -As tlio diplomacy of Prussia grew
more and more urgent, Austria, on the first
of June last, banded over the question to
the Federal Diet of Germany.. This step
Prussia instantly denounced as a violation
■of the Convention*!' Gustei'n, since by-that
Convention it.hud been azreed that all mat
ters. relotftig to the Duchies should be Set-
tled between Austria and Pru'ssiU indepen
dently of the Confederation. Prussia,-there
fore,declared that Convention at "an end
aiid insisted that, as a consequence^ her
right to the joint occupation of Holstein* was
revived: She inarched troops into Holstein,
and at last adviedk had crossed the frontiers
of Saxony and was marching on Dresden.—

of which-will be a most important advan
