A TRI'E TALE. One li'wntiful Indian summer day, in tlie au tumn nf 1844, a stranger appeared iuJlte streets ! of Handler, N. 11., whose garb bespoke the ut- j mas* poverty and destitution. As lie stagger- j e>l a'niig, lie was surrounded by a crowd of vil- j lage boys, who amused themselves by insulting j him with coarse jests and personal indignities. I lie bore their abuse with exemplary patience, i aim begged them wait till be felt a little better,) am! be would sing them a fine song. Ills voice j was thick with unnatural excess, and lie was too j rvveak to protect himself from the rude jostlings of the ciowd, yet lie smiled on the tormentors j and exhibited no ot her sense of his helpless and i forlorn condition than a look of grief and shame, which, despite his efforts ami smiles, would oc casionally overspread his countenance. Late in the afternoon, the writer, then a student, passed him in company with a friend, when our atten tion was arrested by a voice of unusual power and beauty, singing the favorite national song of France, “La Parisienne.” \s be proceeded, a great number of students from the college gathered round him, and at the conclusion an involuntary expression of delight broke from the mass. lie was enthusiastically encored, and af terwards the Marseillaise called for. The same rich, clear voice rang out that wild melody, in the very words which are wont to arouse the spirit of tlie French soldier to frenzy. The ad miration of the poor inebriate’s auditory was now raised to the highest pitch. Hespitehis tal tered and filthy garments, his sijuallid beard,atid brim less hat, now that tlie fume of liquor had subsided, his foi in appeared symmetrical and manly ; and his face glowing with sentiments of the patriotic song, and flushed w ith the excite ment at the unexpected praise ho was winning, assumed an expression of intelligence and joy that beautifully set off his really fine features.— “What and who is this stranger ?” was the uni versal inquiry. “ His singing is incomparable, and his English and French arc both faultless.” “Yes,” said he, dropping his eyes, “I can give you German, or Spanish, or Itaiiau, as well, or Latin and Greek, either,” he added careless ly. In reply to the many questions that we e show ered upon him, with the coin huso much ueed ed, he at. length said, in a sad tone, and slowly endeavoring to push his way through the crowd, “Gentlemen, 1 am a poor vagabond,-entirely un worthy your kind sympathy. L-ave me to my rags and wretchedness, to go on my way.” Our curiosity was too much excited to allow this, and, amid loud cheers, we escorted him to a room where he was furnished with water and good clothes, and the barber’s art pnt in requisi tion, and aftyr an incredibly short time, he reap jiearod upon the college steps, smiling and bow ing gracefully, a man of as tine features and no ble bearing, as ever eyes beheld. The delight of the crowd at this transformation was intense, and repeated shouts rent the air, “Give us La Parisienne,” echoed from ail sides, and as soon assikmcecould be obtained again that clear, rich voice, ottered those inspiring words— ... .j “Psupls Francaia, peuple de braves, . I La Liberte rouvrt se bras.” J Uffifa was then conducted to the spaciats cli.tM W. an audienoa of.rm’e thous and persons spell bound, for two toms, by one of the wort interestinglfm||||Bgofritea that it was ever our lot to hear.

In the ter rible route that followed that memorable event, his detachment was chased bv a body of Pi ussmn hussars, and becoming scattered in the night, he wandered for three days and nights in the woods and by places without food or drink. The chase being at length given over, the poor Frenchman sank down weary and sick with his wounds, and ready to die by the road side. A humane Dutch girl discovcd him in this situa tion, brought hitn refreshments and cordials, and among the latter a flask of brandy. “Hero,” said tlie old soldier, “was the beginning of my woes. That angel of mercy, with the best of motives, brought me in that flask, a deadly foe, which was to prove more potent for evil to me than all the burning toils of the Egyptian cam paign, or the intolerable frosts and snows of the Hussies—more fatal than the cannon of seventy battles, which kindled in me a thirst more insati able than that which forced me to open my veins on the desert sands of the East. Till that day I never tasted strong drink. I had uttered a vow in my youth to abstain from it, and to that vow I owed my life, for not one of all my comrades who indulged in the use of if, survived the hor ror of the Egyptian campaign. Hilt as Ilav in anguish, longing for death, and momentarily expecting its approach, a sweet face appeared tome wearing an expression of deep pity and sympathy for my sufferings, and I could hut accept without inquiry whatever she gave. She gently raised my head and wiped with lur handkerchief the dampness off my brow, and administered the cordial to my lips. It griev ed me ; I looked around, my courage, my lore of life returned. I poured forth my gratitude in hurtling words, and called down the blessings of Heaven. Ignorant of what it was that so sud deulv inspired me, as soon as my spirits flagged f called for more. 1 drank again and again ; for three weeks her loved voice soothed me, and her kind hand administered to my wants. “As soon ns uiv strength was sufficiently re covered, fearing llmt some enemy might slill lie ! linking m-ar, l liade !n-r adieu with iii inv lliimks and tears, sought the sea side, and embarked as; a eiiMimon sailor on the first vessel that offered, and have followed the sea ever si nee.

Six weeks ago, I was"wrecked on the packet ship I Clyde, off the coast, of New Brunswick. I have wandered on foot through Canada and New Hampshire, singing for a few pennies, or begging my bread, till I met your sympathy to-day. How do those college halls, and this noble band of stu dents recall to recollection the scenes of former years.” „ The emotion of the stranger for a moment overcame his voice, when he resumed the tears still coursing each other down his cheeks. “I know not why God should direct my steps hith er ; but, gentlemen, this shall lie the beginning of anew life in me. and here in His presence, and in that of these witnesses, I swear as I hope to meet you in Heaven, never to taste a drop of alchohal in arttv form again.” Prolonged and deafening cheers follow ed these words, and I no ticed many a moist eye. A collection was im mediately made, and more Ilian fifty dollars were put into his hands. As he ascended the coach to take his departure, he turned to the ex cited multitude who surrounded him, and said : “It i&.hut justice that you should know my name, I am Lieutenant Lannes, a nephew of the great Marshal! Lannes. May God bless vo all—fare well!” As these youths thoughtfully returned to their accustomed pursuits, not a few resolved in their deepest souls that temperance and virtue should ever mark their character, and that the soldier’s vow should be theirs. Duelling in the Church. Among the Germans, the L>anes, and the Franks, the clergy were compelled to maintain their controversies, by the judicial duel; though the liberty of appearing in the lists by champion was allowed them. In the eleventh century, we are informed that, in a dispute relative to two Liturgies, two knights, clad in complete armor were selected as critics to determine, in single combat, the true from the false form of public prater. By a statue of William the Conqueror, the inferior orders of ecclesiastics in England were forbidden an appeal to the duel, without the consent of their bishop ; but questions con serning the property of churches and monaste ries were decided in that way ; and the priests accompanied t heir champions, tobless their weap ons on the field, in England, as elsewhere in Eu rojie, for a long peritnl. lit the fourteenth cen tury, we hear of one poem in which Pilate is rep resented as challenging our Saviour to a duel; and of another, in which the person who pierc ed tle side of Christ on the cross is described as a knight with whom he had jousted. Still later, wahear of challenges given and accented by officiating priests at the aTtaF ; of archbishops clattering in armor; of gaunlets of defiance hung up’ in churches ; and of men in holy opleis who fought in quarrels which others refusedto es pouse. Such, in general terms, was the condi tion of the Cliurdi tor hundreds of years; a <1 as far down a* Shakspenr’s time, the dud ar- the threat that he had a kinsman in the army who wonld call him to an account; which inci dent, as well as the notices of the duels actual ity fought by Murat, AUaa, Cate, and others, who were either students of theology, or ordain ed xdergymk gjSda uu erideaee Uiat doelling to the Church did 4toMv 8 ibeCoati- who enjoyed the reputation of ‘fighting authors,’ who drew the sword on the reviewer that con demned a piny, who offered to fight any of tins audience that hissed, who began a work by chal lenging the critics, and who were in perpetual difficulty with somebody. The duels between Scott and Christie, Jeffrey and Moore, Lamar tine anil Pope, Blanc and Lacomlie, Angier and Moneelet, and between the Huron Gourgaud and the Count Segur. in onr own dsy, show that the custom has not entirely passed away. Among musicians, we have the affairs of Han del with Matheson, and of Ole BuJI with a fel low-artist. Painters seein to have been as prone to quarrels as other men of nice sensibilities.— The inimitable Hogarth had a host of enemies,but he disposed of them all with his brush. Traduc ed by Willes, in the North Briton . be painted the demagogue’s portrait, and showed up with terrible effect his personal and moral deformities; embroiled with Pope, lie drew a picture of the poet standing on a scaffold, employed as a w hite washer, with Lord Burlington as a fellow-labor er, and Lord Chandos besprinkled in passing by; angry with Churchill, he appears on canvas in the character of a bear ; and displeased with the course of the statesmen Pitt and Temple, both were scourged by his unrelenting and awful pen cil. DUELLING AMONG FEMALES. For these sins of the sterner sex, the ladies have much to answer. As the Helen of Homer was the chief cause of the Trogau war, and of consequence responsi ble for the duds between its heroes, —ns the Ho man maids and matrons went in throngs to wit ness tiie fights of the gladiators,—as tlie women of Greece were competitors for tlie prizes in the Olympic games,—as tile Turkish belies crowded upon the ramparts of Regal, to witness the c*>m batsbetween Smith and theirown companions,— as the wives and daughters of Denmark were onee compelled by custom, personally to avenge their wrongs, and fight, according to prescribed rules, those of the other sex who at tempted to assail their honor,—as the high-horn dames and maids of all Europe, in the ages of chivalry, instigated and honored tlie tom imuiellt and the joust, —so have the women of France aud England, and America, given countenance to tlie modern duel. In the time < >rn enry IV, of France, relates Lord Herbert, the English Ambassador, the la dies of the French Court, at a mask under the auspices of the Queen, invited the attention of a duellist who bad slain eight or nine adversaries. Each of these ladies anxious to enjoy his society would not allow any pat tit ular lady to engross more than a certain share of his time. And in the reign of another Bourbon, we are told of the countess contending with pistols for the pos session of a courtier whose amours and affairs of honor were so numerous as to excite our as tonishment. In England Elizabeth created Mary, lire high toned wife of Sir Hugh Cholmondely, a knight, and the fair knight was known throughout the realm as “The Bold Lady of Cheshire.” The Queen, too, possessed a more chivalrous spirit. When the negotiations for a matrimonial alliance between her and the Archduke Charles were finally broken off by his marriage to a princess of Austria, the imperial daughter of Henry is said to have exclaimed, that “So great an insult had been offered to Iter, that, i’ she were a man in stead of a woman,, she would have defied him to single combat !” In 1846, Lola Montes, Imasted that she was a “better shot” than her lover, and wished to fight his antagonist. Inoculation for Yellow Fever.—The Ha vana correspondent of the New ..York Express says :—Dr. Hurnbolt, a nephew of the celebrated Uumltold, has opened an hospital here, w here lie inoculates for the“yeltow fever His mode of practice is similar to that of vaccination for the small pox, only Ire does not communicate his secret as to what is the vims Ileuses. Manv rumors are in circulation concerning it—some that it is the poison of a serpent,olhers that it is the juice of an herb, others Hgain that it is the blood taken from some yellow fever patient.— Whatever it is, the government seemsdetermin ed to allow him a fair trial, and supply him free ly with patients to experiment upon, principally sold’ers who have lately come from Spain, and who would certainly have the fever before tire summer was passed. If these men escape from this ( scourge of the tropics, it will Ire a strong argument in favor of Dr. Humboldt’s plan. He is confident in the efficacy of his inoculation, and is sure of success. His hospital is just out side the walls, and is very comfortable and pleasant. Several Americans and Englishmen have been inoculated ; thyy say they were fever ish and somewhat ill in ctrnsequeoce, but were dismissed as cured in the course of a week.— What a blessing tp humanity will this discovery prove, if it is not another A FoRHrDABLi UNDERTAUao.—A cotempo rary thus pets tfta tobacco question into tbe fol lowing shape ; “Suppose a tobacco chewer is years of his life, and thus each day of time he consumes two inches of solid pi eg, it amounts to six thousand four , hundred ami | feet, makin|j nearly , one mile finding ■- yo^SL.Miri. stretched out huff that to chew ifhcgij|HMc exercises of his life ; ■®f#*ll^P ou,d ,ax income to the amount of twHmousHiid and ninety four olland” Wm/Kn man eat a loaf of bread eight in ; ■Hong per day.

New Yore, April 11. IBM Editor* of the Georgian : Gentlemen : Permit me to eel! your attention to the editorial article in the New York ‘Herald’ of Monday, the 9th inst.. entitled “Pacific Railroad- Survey of the Southern Route,” and to a alt the fa vor that you republiah it lor the infer iat ion of the Southern people. It was for the purpose of causing this survey to be made, that 1 eonec"ted to bewme o Director of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. My object wbb, to proveto the country, what 1 knew to be a fact—that the southern route is the only practicable one for a railway to the Pacific, and that the legislation of Congress, in attempting to provide for the con struction of a road on any of the northern lines, would be misdirected, and in tlie end prove to be utterly futile. The line which we have surveyed, and to which tho article in the ‘Hcra'd* refers, is south of all tho lines surveyed by the War Depart ment, under the appropriation made by Congress. The Government bos spent, 1 believe, about three hundred thousand dollars in their surveys, and has failed to find a line sufficiently practicable to induce the commencement of the work, either by tlie Government or incorporated companies, whilst the line we have surveyed, is graphically sketch ed in the article in tlie ‘Herald,’ with the excep tion that it ru s the whole distance through a fertile country susceptible of profitable cultivation, and not. us the ‘Heruld’ has it “of desert like char acter, from one extremity to the other.” This survey establishes the tiiot that the Southern States possess the ouiy practicable line for u railroud to the Pacific, and that their institutions will proceed, pari passu, with its construction to that ocean. It will open to southern enterprise the rich mining districts of New Mexico, t'hiliua Ima. Sonora and California. The necessities which will govern the accomplishment of this enterprise, will shoe that slave labor must be employed in its : construction. Passing as it will more than a thou ’ s ind miles through u rich milling country, it will be impossible to retain free laborers upon tlie work at any price which the iuos extravagant expend!? tur would justity. In n uuuntry where wild ad venture is the characteristic spirit of the pojaila tion. as it is in ull mining districts, and where for tunate strikes muy possibly procure large sums, w ith a very small amount of labor, tlie people be comes averse to regular employment at stated rea sonable wages. This work from the eastern line of Texas to the Pacific, will, with the exception of about three hundred miles in the eastern coun ties of Texas, pass through a region which is. at i present, almost uninhubited. but-use* ptible of sus- taining a dense population, which will flow along the line as the work progresses, but not in suffici ent force to control the turbulent masses ot foreign laborers usually employed in <>ur railroad under takings. Our slave population, therefore, affords the only description of labor which ean be availed of with safety and certainty for the accomplish ment of thisigreat work. This description of la bor is already protected by the institutions of Tex as, through which eight hundred and fifty miles of the line will run ; and also in the territory ac quired under the Gudsden Treaty, which is now annexed to New Mexico, that territory being au thorixed. in the law organising its Government, to come into the Union qs a State, with or without slavery, as the people shall determine. Tlie dis tance from El Paso, on tbs western line of Taxes, to the river Colorado, the eastern lino of Califor nia, is ab. ut four hundred and fifty miles. Thus we perceive thut for tlie whole distance of this line, until we strike California, slave labor nmy be employed with perfect security, and it is believed that hes Fugitive Slave Law, and the favorable disposition of the people, will be sufficient protec tion to it, within the Kmi'O of that State. The information obtained in the prosecution of this re connoisance. and survey, goes tosbow thut Sonora is os rich in all probability, as California, and that its silver mines, in richness and extent, are superi or to those of any other portion of the world, while ■ its rich valleys and fertile pluins, aie equal in all respects, for agricultural purposes, to those of Cal ifornia. and its olimute exceedingly favorable to all southern products. The subscribers of the Atlantic and Pacifio rail road, have transferred their stock to the Texas Western Railroad Company, which ie entitled to sixteen sections of land for ever j mile offend con structed within the limits of tbe State. f enclose to you a circular stating tba prospects and condition of the fholl be happy if you, wfupublish for general inrcNIHMM? . -Jr wit tv much respect, Your moat obedient aerr’t T.
