One ol llte most remarkable mountains, both Tor grandeur of scenery aud romantic associations, not only in Germany but in uli Uurope, is the roc ky mountain of Oybin, not fur from the town nf the Zillnu. Its sides are shaggy with gray and broken rocks, and shadowed by dark firs, intermin. gled with the lighter foliage of the birch. Venera ble monuments, defaced and crumbling from the effects of lime, but majestic in their hoariness, are scattered about tlio old bum! ground on its sum mit, and tho ruins of the Ccelcstiue convent ure still tu he seen, us well us of the robber-’ castle, in old times, a terror to all the surrounding country. It is now completely destruyed, if it ever existed j bat talcs are still told among the puuple uf the occasion. »l apparition of a monk in the ancient mansion in Ziltau, where the subterrnneun passage was said to terminate ; and it has been credibly maintained, that sometimes at midnight a procession of monks may bo seen upon the mountain moving towards tlie desolated chapel, where they perform religious sorvice at that silent and mysterious hour. The traveller will find his imagination sensibly affected by the influence ol these singular traditions. He will linger with nn interest beyond that of mere curiosity by tlie ntussive bed and chair of state, on which Charles IV, is said to have reposed when he came to destroy ilie terrible Robbers’castle. He will call up remembrances of those fierce and bloo dy times. But with a feeling of more than ordinary sympathy will his eyes rest on the savage ravine, and the spot called “The Maiden’s Leap.” Ho will listen with a kindling heart to the story con. necied with that wild place which is still treasured in tlie popular memory. In an age of durkness and barbarism, many cen. turies back, when force usurped tlie place of right, and tho sword was tho common ar biter of differences between man and mat., the castlo that crowns mount Oyliin, stood in its rude mngnificcnce, defying tho assaults of invaders, and inhabited by a band of knights who owned no law but their own will, and from their almost im pregnable fortress, looked witli scorn on the rest of the world. Every day the sounds of feasting and revelry might bo heard within tha walls of the neighboring town, but they were always marked by some deed of violence or rupine, perpetrated on the unoffending citizens. The freebooters sought access frequently to the fairest dames and damsels ofZiUuB. The chronicle does nut mention that any uf its dScreet maidens ever listened to the courtship of these lawless men ; but it explicitly records the fact that more beautiful women lived in tho city at that lime than at any period since. It is matter of history, therefoie, that the lovliest damsel in all that region was Agnes, the daughter of an honest burgher of Zittau. Whenever she went to church, attired in her simple nnd becoming holiday-dress, her rich brown curls falling graceful, ly from under her coif embroidered with silver, the young men who passed, slopped to look after her, and not a few were tho suitors for the hand ofthe beautiful maiden. She had been seen by the hniglit Hugo Von Uwuld, one of tlie freebooters of Oybin, as she sat spinning by the window of her father’s house ; and again, as he passed her on her way to church. One Sunday morning, as she walked toward the place of worship, her eyes fixed modestly upon the prayerbook in her hand,Hugo stepped boldly in her way , she stopped, regarding him with terror. He took no nolice of her alarm, but, in a few words, declared the passion ho bad conceived for her, entreating her fuvoi for his suit. His entreaty however, wus uttered in such a tone, he revealed but too plainly thut the knight deemed a refusal im possible. Agues was more frightened at his words than his looks. Site made no reply, but grew pale as death ; and the next instant, darting past him, floJ with the speed of an arrow into tlie church. The knight stoud in blank astonishment, fur the idea that his proposals could be unwelcome had never occurred to him. The coyness of the maid en invested her with tenfold charms in his eyes.— He made a vow upon his sword to win her, and re solved to leave nothing undono for tlie accomplish meat ofhis purpose. From that day, however, ho saw nothing of the fair Agnes, neither at tlie window nor in tlie street. Hu could not learn if she wns in the town or not, fur none of her neighbors hud seen lior. The truth was, that the girl, like a dutiful and obedient child, hud immediately informed her fath er of her meeting with Uwald ami his strange lan guage. Tnu father was a prudent man : and well acquainted with tlie character of the knights ol Oy- bin. He dreaded lliu worst, and immediately piuced Ins daughter in security and concealment. ••She must endure ihe privation of liberty awhile,” said he, “till the knight has furguuen her for sumo newer face,and that will be soon, l warrant me; then 1 will marry her to some brave man who will know how to protect her from danger. Thus weeks and months passed. The beautiful girl wus never permitted to go out, and all Uwald’s search after her was in vain. At length he guessed tlie secret uf tier strange disappearance, and in stantly determined to circumvent die pour burgher who had dared oppose his wishes. Ho came nn mure to Zittuu, uud caused it to bo rumored that he Imd gone to Praguo, tu mingle in the amuse, meats of the court. How joyous was Agnes at this news, and tho day of her release came. Her father no longer feared for her safety, uud the free itir and sunshine were no lunger forbidden delights. She left her hiding-place nnd resumed her spinning at the window, where she cuuld sec all that passed in the street.

ARCHIBALD i The sun shone brightly, the air was fresh and bnlitty, nnd the fields were covered with wild flow ers, which the merry maidens plucked, wreathing them into garlands, and laughing and jesting with tltogleeol innocent hearts. Agnes, happy in her recovered freedom, bounded like a fawn over the green meadows culling ever and anon to her com panions with a shout of childish delight. Suddenly she let full herwreulh of flowors, and stood motionless as if rooted to the earth with sur prise and terror. Emerging from a thick copse, the knight Uwnld stood before Iter. He was ac companied by ihreo followers, one of whom held his horse. It was a minute’, space before the terrified mai den could even shriek for help; but it was of no avail' Tlie iron arms of the savage knight encir. cled her ; lie lifted her upon his horse, and spring, ing up himself, drove spurs into the animal's aidea and gulhtped in the direction of the Bobbers' cas tle. Tlie threo men followed, but not till one had called out in a rough voice to the other dam sels, that if any of them dared mention what they had seen, it should cost them their lives. Witli weeping and lamentation the young girls returned to their parents. They did not regard the threats of the knight’s attendant*, to that in lesslltun an hour tile whole town know al' lltc cap ture of (lie uiifortunute Agnes. The anguish of tho bereaved fatltet may easily be conceived. lie besought tlie n-»i« : tunep of his l ellow-burghers for the recovery of his child, Af. tor long deliberation it wits determined that a num ber of olout nnd brave men, well armed. bIiouIiI be sent to Oybin, to demand Agues back from the k night ; and in caae of refusal, to oiler him bat- tl e. Tlie poor maiden, in tlie meantime, had been c trried half swooning up the rough mountain path to the gatea uf the castlo. Site was lifted gently Irom Ihe steed of Uwald and borne into n state apartment luxuriously furnished. Her conscious- nt tss gradually returned, anil -lie looked wildly alunii her. The knight endeavored to south iter ag;itntion ; repeated his assurances of uifectiuti and sollicited a return from Iter. Agnes replied to his importunate urging only by a gush of bitter tears. At length starting tip. she flu ng herself ul the feet of her captor. “You know " sir,” she cried, “llial 1 am loo mean to be co me jour wife ; nor can I ever love you ; hot I wild be eternally grateful ; 1 will pray daily for the welfare of your soul, if you will now tube me bat :k tu my father !” •Uwnla raised tlie fair suppliant from tlie ground It grieves me, fairest one,’ said he, ‘to refuse thee auplit ; but my love were small indeed, could I fulli ) thy wish ! Yet, as l would not willingly be- hold, thy tuars, I will withdraw for a while. Thou art mistress of this castle, and all the heart of matt can .wish shall lie thine, but thou cansl never see llty father till llty favor is yielded to me without rese rve.’ S. janjirig the knight depurted. The maiden sank upon Iter knees, praying for succor in this fearf ul extremity. AJIj night Agnes continued prayor to tho Virgin and I lie saints. Hope and courage entered her heart,. As tlie gray dawn lightened the apartment she S' aught for some way of egress. Tlie door by wl licit she had been brought in, led into Ihe great hall, and thence she knew there was no es cape. But ns site exitinind the walls in the dim light, feeling along tlie panels, one uf them yielded to the pressure of her hand. A small door flew openi md disclosed a narrow and dork passuge.— The n laiden entered without hesitation null fo|. lowed the passage fearlessly, for she fled from a fate n tore terrible than any peril of life or limb. Ere lu ng she felt the cool morning air upon iter cheek, then the light of day was discernible : and presen tiy she stood without the castle walls, upon a mass of rock overlooking the sheer descent into the va Hoy. Ys t lie castle wns quite inaccessible on this side, its defe nee was left to the hand of nature. Only a coufust id jumble of rocks could be seen at u vast distance below, a chaos of blackened boulders thrown together by some convulsion of the moun- lui.n ; h alf concealed by ragged trees, and the mists tit at were reeking upward from tlie depths of Ihe ravit te. Par beyond, the valley extended sntil ing in ve rdure and beauty. As yet ull wus silent in tho burg. Agnes pass ed l:tnidf,y on, animated with a vague hope, till she react ted the defended side aud canto in sight of the gr eat gate of the castle. Alas! it was clos- ed and sh e saw tlie gleam of weapons in the new. ly risen s' an, as the sentinels passed to and fro on thoir mom alonous round. Despair filled the heart of tho disappointed girl. To go for ward was certain re-capture. She had nought to do hut turn back and retrace her sleps tothe a pat -intents she had quilled awaiting some mure fo vo.'able moment for escape. But eve n this she was not destined to accom plish. As sho once more passed beneath the wall, Uwald bin tself confronted Iter. ‘Alt, sw. set truant! dare not abuse my good, ness!’ he exclaimed, stretching forth his arms to clasp th e u 'unde re r. Thu mai dun recoiled in horror, and turned to fly. But vrhither? tothe soldiers at the gale, or into the ja-< vs of death? Thu precipice was be fore her; a bound, ns the knight advanced, and she stood 15n tlie utmost verge. He sprang fur ward to sei ze his prey ; the young girl sprang also towards a j titling rock a few feet distant, but fulled to roach it and sunk into tho abyss. Uwal d si arted back aghast and palo with horror at the fe.lc of his victim, and fled into the castle.— There, ut t ho morning banquet, ho drowned in w ine the recollection of tlie dreadful scene. Whom tlie maiden took the fatal plunge, the sud denness of her full, and the influence ol mortal terror dt pr ived Iter instantly ot sense. .Site wus aroused from insensibility by it tincling sensation of pain in uli her limits, which gradually grow sharper . The coldness of the air around Iter also, was per ceptiblc. Slowly as recollection returned, sho opet ted Iter eyes. Where wus she? She cuuld seethe blue sky above her; around wns tho free air; slit • seemed suspended between heaven and eurllt. ft was so. Her full had been arrested by the wide spreading brunches of u fir tree, rooted in a proj ectiug portion of the tuck. It was not long before the young girl compre hended iter situation, anil exhausted and overcome with fear ns site was, it inspired Iter witli u new hope. Far, fur ubuve iter stood tlie burg in which site had so la tely been u prisoner. She hud escap ed the powe r.of her persecutor, for none would dream liiut s he could survive her fall from the pre cipice. Ap^es wept ingratitude to heaven for her wotideiful i jreservation, then she cuuliously chang ed Iter posi tiott to see if she might not descend into the valley; it was impossible ! tlie descent wus sheer and perpendicular; a single step would pre cipitate her upon the wild rocks far below, where instant d juth would be certain. Tha very sight, as she co.sl a glance downward made her shudder with hor ror. She uttered a faint cry ; the wind swayed the branches of tlie fir-tree, to which she clung convulsively, feeling ns if Iter last hold on life were every instant to be lorn nwny. Was she to he rocked, the sport of tlie tempest, in this ter. rificcradle, till the wild eagle should claim her for his prey, or till starvation should waste her strength with slow agonies? Better an instant and speedy release; but ut every look into the frightful abyss tiouenth her, she drew buck sick and shuddering. All nt once ihe faint sound of martial music at a great distance came borne upon ihe breeze to Iter ears. Bite turned towards the sound. The sun wns shining on a lovely landscape a fur off nnd the spires of a town gleamed in tho dis tance. Was it—no ! it could not he ! and yet—it was her own native Zittau ! Tho mania! music camo nearer; it seemed jus' at her feet; tiie air was filled with it; the foliage of the fir-lteo seem ed to quiver in the so/tened sound, Tlie truth flashed on Agnes’s mind; u troop was murching througn the vulley ! With a sudden energy which only the fear of a horrible deuth could inspire, she shrieked again and ngaiu for aid. The cry was echoed from the neighboring cliff., and by the shrill scream nf the startled bird; llten it died away in faint wailing murmurs. How, from these rettioie airy regions could it reach the dwellers of earth ? Another burst of music, loud and triumphant swept upward, and then the martial notes'receded. Ag ue* felt Iter cheek fanned by the winge of an ea. gle,Jthat scared from his eyrie, flew past her restiog place; the next insteni tlie iey sickness of despair seized upon Iter heart; her eye* closed and she relapsed into itiHcnsibilily, The angle's flight was her salvation. The sol- diers crossing tho valley wus the men of Zittau, bound on their mission from the burgher* to the castle. As their eyes followed tho startled moun tain.bird, they saw a white garment fluttering in the dark foliage of the fir, and presently tlie name of “Agnus” in llio tones of amazement and terror was ottered by several voices at once. Loud and tumultuous shouts rent the air, but all unheard by the helpless gill suspended thus in mid uir, and swinging tu and fro as tlie wind surged through tlie ravine. With hreuthless haste tiie men brought ladders nnd ropes ; several of the most daring climbed ihe ragged steep. Far in advance of the rest was a youth named Bernhard, who seemed reckless of all danger. He loved tiie fair girl, uud was resolved to yield the honors of her reicue to no one.

Now lie clung by a shrub to the face of the cliff, now leap ed from point to point of the rock, climbing from one projection to another, regardless of nil risk, watc- ed breathlessly by the spectators us he hov ered in uir, till, by ulmost superhuman exertions, he gained the fir-tree,and clasped in his aims the form of tlie unconscious muidoii.

Green, Sec’y; The rogues ot New Orleans, play cunning tricks sometimes, as witness, tlie following told by the Picayune: Tuo much gin and sugar has been many a man’s ruin, but in lliu present case tuo little of those ar ticles may enuso some trouble to an individual who played otr a rare practical joke a few day* ago on Messrs: Luviilabcauvc. commission merchants in Coitiinun street.—On Friday the person above al luded to went into the storo and arranged to have a hogshead of “sugar” and several puncheons of “gin” warehoused fur n few days. The hogshead and puncheons arrived shortly, and were stored; druyuge, porterage, &c. wns defrayed by tha Messrs. L , nnd the owner, with samples, came up, sold the urticles, und received $100 in advance on account. Tho uwncr nut having returned, accor ding to promise, to “pity charges” and receive the balance of tlie purchase money for his goods, a trick waa suspected, the hogshead and puncheons were opened, the former was found to contain a light sprinkling of sugar underlaid with sand, the latter predominating in quantity of 090 to 1 over the foil- mer, und the puncheons contained two tin vessels, holding about a pint each, inserted in Ihe bungholes —the hullcnce was pure Mississippi stater. The gent who mado the raise lias sloped, but has been tracked to Mobile. Old Bachelors.—A Western editor common, ces on exlioitutiun to buchelors with the following words :—“Gome you poor, miserable, lonely, de. scried, fractional parts of animated Mature, come up here and be talked to.” We wonder whether that Editor ever read e cer tain Fuble of jEsop, in which nn interesting anec dote is reluted of Reynard, whose nether extremi* ty having been despoilod of ite fair proportions, called a meeting of his race, to ’’te talked to ?” We should not be surprised if the tame editor could pronounce a most eloquent panegyric upon tlie “Cnutilo Lectures,” their beeuly end elegance, nod llio faithfulness of the picture, which have been su generally seized upon, and published with so much appurent gusto by the married gentlemen of the press.—Aug. Chron. if Sen. Hon. W. C. I'rusien.—This distinguished gen tleman, snyt the Charleston Courier, it will be per. ceivcd from the letters of our Columbia correspon dent., has been elected by the Board of Trustee* of tlie South Carolina College, President of that Institution. The eulogistic sentiments expressed in our letters respecting Mr. P. will undoubtedly meet a hearty response from the people throughout the Stale. The Rev. Mr. Thornwell will, it ie said, remain in his professorship, and Dr. Henry, it is supposed, will also tskn a professorship.
