Her attitude was peerless, and the unity of her form, her dress and looks, presented a picture of ideal grace and loveliness. The expressions of her eyes were tender, sweetly sad, and intensely poetical. An artist could have dis covered not even the shadow of a frown on her pure white brow. No words of complaint escaped her rosy lips. In her presence Mortemar was agitated like a criminal on trial.' His ' eyes could not encounter hers though that, like King Richard, he was him self again. It will be seen, that, in this moral encounter, Julia was much stronger than Walter ; she had stood by the holy pillar of faith.

With good parts, a pleasant face, and line figure, Walter was received favourably both my Ella and her mother, especially the latter, whose means were inadequate to sustain (as she desired) her pride and fondness 1 for display.

The color gradually paled in his cheek, and he placed his hand to his fore head, while visible thoughts crowd ed his brain. “Trust! confidence! forgiveness! Nothing like it had ever found its equal in the pages of fiction.” She read those holy words, those extracts of love, in melodious unison with looks so confidingly serene that Mor temar s heart was enchained by the sweet despotism of their beauty and power, and when she spoke of the ashes of the letter, he vainly thought to find some parallel to her illimita- courage I quick wit. Thoughts like ' these rushed, wildly, through Mor- ! temar’s brain. That very evening he was to meet Ella Egerton to be 1 accepted, or rejected. Snares beset him on every hand. His mind was in a tumult. The present first, the future next; suddenly reclining 1 his head, and nearly closing his eye6, he passed his handkerchief over his i face until the meeting parties had i passed each other. Soon afterwards, he turned iuto a by-road, conveyed Julia to her home, and tenderly bid bunch gTaiis, No*r it are U. S.

As the grade becomes steep er. the two ergmes attached to cur train groan with their increasing toil. Soon larger patches of snow warn u« to don our oloaks, aud prepare for higher aud colder latitude Constantly the snow increases, 'till a glistening white mantle several inches in depth, reflects the purpling sunbeams. Some 2b miles from Cheyenne bring i us to the extensive lime kilns and stune quarries of Granite Canyon. In exposed positions aloag the Railroad, there are long lines of plank or snow fences and considerable rock work. Pass ing the hea l ot this canyon, the scenery becomes grander; great masses of rock rear their pinae'es close to the road, uppiled in confusion- There the^surlaee ol thegrouud is lerel and there appear above the enow shroud, tufts of Rabbit Brush; and a little ofjstunted Pine and Juniper and the deeper gorges give promise of heavier timber. Far to the left, amid a mass of rugged moun tains, we see Long’s Peak 75 miles distant, iu reg^grandeur over topping them a l with its elevation of more than 14,000 feet. Furiher South, but (till plainly visible, is Pike’s Peak, with nearly the same elevation. To the right, the rambling spars of Elk Mountain, afford a ragged grandeur to the vi -w. We now met the passenger train going east, which had been de layed 5 hours in the fr -zen heights beyond by the breaking of a snow pi >w Slowly crawling up we arrive at Sherman, the summit of the Black Hiils, part ol the great Rocky Mountain range. We are now 8242 teet above the level of the sea, and 510 miles west of Omaha Some of our fellow travellers complain of difficulty of breathing in the rare frosty atmosphere, bat I experienced no incovenience, though I remain ed on the plat torm for more than 2 hours. The scenery around can hardly be surpassed in point of wild magnificence, but it weais an air pecu liarly gloomy and desolate. One seems utterly isolated in the wide realms ot space and a feel ing of Lilliputian dimiuutiveness in the scale of nature, hints that we have no business there. Instinctively one gazes searchingly around to see if the huge dcniz.ms of these snow crowned peaks arc not gathering to wreak upon us ter rific vengeance for our wayward intrusion. Af ter a few ninutes halt for fuel and water, we again set off on a down grade through rough Guts, the banka on either hand crowned by huge rocks of fantastic forms aud exposed places protected by an interrupted succession ol snow- fences and sheds. At various points we have 1m- reg-ive mountain views—the main Rocky lhain on one hand, the Black Hills on the other.

His, and Ella's eyes, had often ex changed tender glances in the last few months. Indeed Walter had re- cently placed his hand, heart, and * ^ fortune, at her disposal. On the evening which succeeded the tender of this wholesale transfer, of him self, and his all to Ella, he called to receive her answer.

Poetic father’s residence Although he had endeavored to conceal his features, and avoid rec- ognition, by Mrs. Egerton and her daughter, there was scarcely any room to doubt that they had recog nized him, and witnessed the impas sioned caresses which he had bestow ed upon Julia. Ella had beard of bis former attentions to her, and had more than once alluded to them with some feeling. Walter had positively From the Albany Xevra. For the first time since April, the writer last week paid a brief visit to the wonderful metropolis of Georgia, and put in three days with the sages, patriots, statesmen, journalists, busi ness men, loafers, bummers and hotel keepers. Informal interviews with the wise men of tho busy, bubbling Babylon of the “Iron Age," revealed the fact that there are “more things in heaven and earth than are dreampt of in the dull resources and leaden philos ophy of the country Editor’s Sanctum; and if disclosures were insufficient for a sensational editorial, the odds and ends of the “confused harmony of progressive develop* ment,” may be acceptable as a rolicking ollarpodrida, or bird’s eye view of men and things as seen and heard at the great focal birth place of the State’s adventures, accidents and progress. There were many strangers in the city from other and distant States, but as they were possessed of none of the local or State information we desired to obtain, our attention was devoted entirely to the main and most reliable sources of fact, fancy and fiction; and when it is known that our first interview was with the graceful, inventive and romantic young editor of the Herald; our second with the noble trio of intellects and “infinite jesters"—Gen. Toombs, Judge Lochrane and Gen. Garling- ton, and our third with a brilliant audience and “Hall's combination” at DeGives, the reader will not stop to inquire if the veil was lifted, but at once bid us go on for a peep BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE TREASURY VENDETTA. Be it so. We had no interview for publication, and therefore are not at liberty to write and print facts obtained, to present salient points, or to criticiso any particular state ment confided in general and free conversation. This much, however, may be said with propriety—We were permitted to “look upon this to emvige to the plains ubove, and still more, : picture, and Oil this;” Or in other words to “go through" both sides of the question.

Kibbee, the trebled for the purpose i courteous, affable, woll informed and of ferming currents of air, that will drift up the i ,, , .' ... . snow before it reaches the R K track,) past : gentlemanly Chairman of the inves ling correct information, that the ; read «Y know that the conclusion at which we arrived, was not reached through the avenues of street talk or the by-ways of irresponsible m- mor. A\ e went to the best sources, and probed every wound to the very bottom, even the scandal wound of the ex-Treasurer’s private financial affairs. AY ithout fear, favor or affection, fee or reward or tho hope thereof, and casting aside all prejudice and partiality, our mind was irresistably driven to the conclusion that the seeming irregularities and apparent difficulties in the accounts and official acts of Capt. Jones, are capable of dear, equitable and satisfactory solution, and that at the proper time he will make such a showing as will gratify his friends and confound his enemies, if he has any. It may be that the Legislature will fail to see the matter in the light wo now do, and will complete his ruin in reputa tion and fortune; but it is our de liberate, well grounded and unalter able judgment that the courts and the people will sustain his defense and rescue him from the depths of sorrow and opprobium into which he has been so haplessly plunged. And now, if the people of Georgia believe we have sufficient intelligence to comprehend, discriminate, com pare, deduce and reconcile, and the integrity to tell the truth in a mat ter so important to the State’s in terest and the character of one of her most honored and revered sons, we feel assured that this appeal for a suspension of public opinion will be graciously and generously re sponded to. Let there be no public verdict upon the ex parte case of the committee and the Executive—no chronic concrete prejudices to en counter, no partizan animosities to overcome. A fair and impartial hear ing, and a judgment made up upon reason, honest deduction and truth, is all the ex-Treasurer can ask, and we are quite sure tho General Assem bly and State authorities v ill attempt nothing more. There is, in our opinion, but one point that will remain in doubt after Capt. Jones is properly heard, as he will be, and that is the conflict be tween himself aud Air Alton Angier, as to the $21,000 of paid past due bonds. Air.

The Cotton States Lite Insurance Company ot M aeon, Ga., desirous of meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be understood by all, offers the Endowment-Life-Rate Policy, with confidence that an examination of the plan is all that is necessary to commend it to the tavor of all desiring insurance.

THE MIRACULOUS POWER OT LOVE SI- CONTRAST SUBMISSION A PERPLEX ING CARESS. Rumor Lad introduced these un faithful movements’ to Julia Landon’s atteution. More than six weeks had passed since his last visit at her mother’s. Love had imparadised her heart, but phantoms of broken love, yea, cold desertion, were bewildering her soul, and dimming the lamp of her hopes. Never had ho absented him self so long before. This had a dark and melancholy moaning. It ill a siipuiateu age. . , . , • *. i • The low rate of premium, and the fact that koncd in her Spirit, ft proud impress of originality and power, never un folded until now. Under the electric touches of this inspiration, she sent a note to Montemar soliciting the favor of his presence. It chanced that this note was sent in the forenoon of the day on which Ella had promised tb answer his proposal. Influenced, partly by curiosity to learn why she had sent for him, and a resolution, frankly to communicate to her his change of sentiments, he was soon off in a stylish vehicle drawn by a fleet and handsome horse. Julia met him with her sweetest smiles, tendered her hand with gener ous cordiality, and seated herself quite near him. Walter glanced at the rich elegance of her dress which looked as if dames d’tour had exhaus ted their skill in selecting the mate rials to blend in harmonious effect, their colors and Julia’s rich complex ion. Nothing seemed to have been studied. In every minute particu lar taste could add no improvement, while the general outline was full of grace, set off the more by an airy softness over tbe whole. It is no part of a male author's business to be prying into a lady’s toilet room secrets. Men are presumed to know nothing about them. It is no the insurance;!-! payable within the ordinary pe riod of life, makes it The Most Desirable form of Pol icy now otfered to the Public. The premium is as low a3 the usual life pre mium where the insurance is payable only at death, or the age of ninety, aud the time for payment of the insurance ranges from the ages of 01 to 73 years, or at death if prior. This pe riod may be shortened at any time, at the op tion of the insured, by additional payments for that purpose. To illustrate the difference between this plan and the usual endowments, the following is sufficient: Iu all Mutual Companies the ordinary pre mium at age 41, payable at age 68, is §12 75 per §1,000. The Premium on Endowment-Life-Rate Plan at age 41, payable at age 08, 13 $32 47 per thou sand dollars, showing a saving cf Twenty- Five per cent, to the Policy holder.

It is better than a savings bank.

The music ! of her voice was like the sweet mur- | murs of a spirit's tongue bringing I back the images of former love and i happiness. There was something akin to angelic glory in her love i and pity. It was this that touched I his spirit.

ACROSS Ti^E CONTINENT BY FtylLW^Y. P»y Miss Annie E. Law of Hollis ter, California. ; Union 4- Recorder : I will now try te tell you something of our trip over iaDd from Omaha to San Jose. At daybreak on Saturday morning, wa found our- ■ selves steaming over seemiugly boundless ! plains, and were told we were in the vicinity , of Council Bluffs. Soon the rough, barren hills skirting the Missouri, appear ou our right, so dim they might be mistaken for low, blue Came with I clouds, then the level sunrays bring their higher . peaks into bold relief, aBd as we approach, we realize that we are entering upon scenery, | “grand, gloomy and peculiar.” Now the slug- | gish Missouri shows her sandy bed, slowly rounding the base of tiie mountain, and on tbe low, level banks, the city of Council Bluffs ap pears—a straggling town spreading tar over the wide plain. Suddenly ou all sides, we hear the snort of locomotives, on many different roads, as they simultaneously arrive with their long ! trains of emigrants and freights for the far west. We cross the river on a high bridge, half a mile long, and slowly enter Omaha, which ia situated ! on high, rolling upland, west of the river, at ao I elevatiou of 300 feet. Here we change cars and recheck baggage, and with nose, ears and I fingers, tingling with the keen, frosty air that ' whistles unchecked through the big railroad de pot. One has to await the appearance of the num ber corresponding to tbe check one is franti cally grasping among the huge mass of bag- gage that is being artistically smashed out upon i the crowded platforms. While waiting here, one I has a tine opportunity to study the va ions pre- ’ sentations ot the “human face divine”—hun- ' dreds hurrying by to board the ioDg trains be ! »ide us— a metty crowd, apparently from every i nation on the globe. Finally, order is brought ; out of contusion diie. aud taking our places in a Pullman car, we start out across the vast plains of Nebraska. For some two hours, there is ; nothing to break the monotonous prairie except I Elkhom river, a small stream, which we cross ! 09 miles from Omaha, thou we see the dim blue | outlines of the l’latte hills in a South westerly I direction, and soon afterwards the Platte river ! conies iu view on the left. Now we approach it, aud for several miles, pass closely aloug its northern bank. Il has a broad bed, with plen ty of shining mud and but little water at this sea son. At intervals along its banks are lines ot cotton-wood timber, and every little island and mudtiatin its vicinity are covered with noi.y flocks ot wild geese and ducks. The Platte valley is a beatifui country, and many thrifty villages have sprung up oa the fertile lands along the railroad; the only drawback seems to be lack of timber. Just as twilight renders the light un certain, we reach Columbus, a small town with mining remarkable about it,except that it claims to be the geographical centre ot the U. 8. It has an elev Omaha 22 L ... .- the beau’y ot the scene, and in this open country affords us every advantage of daylight. Dui ing the night we cross several final! streams, their course being marked by wavy lines of wil low cottonwood and re I elm; and uccas-icnally we see a rude fort, or deserted ranche—proba bly marking the spot of some Indian tragedy. Sometimes the Platte almost recedes from view; again it is close by, and at interval* it afforss considerable islands, heavily timbered. Then we are crossing. In many instances the rock low ers wear an air of weird grandeur strongly suggestive of the supernatural. There are cas ties, monuments, pyramids, foi tificitions and requiring no g-eat stretch of tho immagiuatbu I cording to his Own Understanding to transform them iuto the dwelling-place of j - - - - - - some malignant giant, and one almost expectB to see him emerge from some of the great arches or gate ways, that apparently guard with solemn majesty this desolate city of nature's han- diwsrk. When latest evening sunbeams are crimsoniag the drifted snow, we reach Lara- I mie City, distant from Omaha 573 miles, eleva- j tioa71-2 feet. I must tell you a good joke our i parly had on ms throughout 'his day. We ] had oar eatables with us, and by some over- | sight, we had neglected to provide ourselves with a coffee pot. Al Cheyenne I went out to buy one. but found the stores ah closed; nothing ; daunted, I jumpei off aud ran through every 1 ■ town the train slopped at throughout the day, : with the same result. At Laramie, some men , ! on tbe street told ins that in that town they did 1 nof keep the stores opeu on Sunday ! nrer, or to Capt. Jones, the new Treasurer. Per contra, Capt. Jones swears if they were ever placed there he had no notice of the fact, gave no receipt for them and never saw them. ing the conversation. It was our desire next to see the Governor, and obtain all facts that we should find him willing to communicate. To our enquiry— “Governor what about the Treasury troubles?” His excellency proceeded at once, and cheerfully too, to un^ cover the whole matter, in genera! . . . ; and in detail, as he understood it out mo bluiob u^iru ou ouiiuuj : I U8U ) - , . quite forgotten what day of the week it was, : from fcu0 reports Ol tu© COmmitt0GS, him or time did not admit of prolong- 1 till they were presented at the > and amifi a psrfeot storm of raillery 1 returned | to the train, quite crestfallen at the non-success ■ of my trading expeditions! Laramie is a large town containing many beautiful and imposing buildings. There are some signs of shade trees growing np along tbe streets, and a clear bold stream of water runs through the centre of town. It was hers the first women jury was empan elled. From here to the Pacific, the Railroad is worked by Chinamen, their oblique eyes, um- brella-liko hats, loose garments and trailingqdues give them a grotesque appearance to unaccus tomed eyes. They are said to bo sober and re liable workmen when uuder a boss, but trifling when left to themselves. An.id the deepening shades of twilight we speed on across Laramie River, over wide-spreading plains, past the beautiful sheet ol water called Cooper’s Lake, over vast rolling prairies abounding in wild game, through cuts aud over fills, by snow- fences, aud through tunnel like sheds, over a bleak landscape of snow, with tufts of sage ! brash, scarcely lees dreary, peering above it; I now on a desolate plain, again between abrupt ' bills which seem to iuterlock each other, over ■ creeks in deep, rocky ravines, past Como a 1 lovely sheet of water to the right, whose bosom j was dotted with vast flecks of wild birds, across | Medicine Bow River with Medicine Bow moan 1 tains in the dim distance, more smooth level | plains, tl-en a few miles broken by hills which j make heavy cuts aad fills necessary, and the ! silvery moonlight shows us Elk Mountain rising rugged and alone on tbe right; a round pile ; densely covered with pine, its topmost point like a great enow cap. In night travel, through j these high, cold regions, one cannot but bo im- ; pressed with the remarkable clearness of the firmament—the stars appear so numerous and of ] such dishing brilliancy. W» new traverse a valley whose only vege- j tatien seems to be sago brush, whose only water | is from stagnant pools of black alkaline mud. Soon Hie low biutls on eitiier hand take bolder pro portions, and rugged spurs reach across in front of ns and threaten to stop our progress,- but as if in defianee of their threats, we shoot through a tunnel aud emerging from it, find the ravine has become a gorge with high walls rising close above us. On we steam up a steep grade quite barred from all view, out ot the steep, narrow canyon, till we come out on the level plains of tho North P.atte river, which we cross and hie away for man; miles through a couutry barren but for the indomitable sage, and flecked with alkaline deposits, which the melted soow un covers to view. Then comes a ravine, damp with oozes of alkali water and walled in by perpendic ular sides ot massive granite. Pulling slowly up the nass past accumulated snow-drifts, we ’come out in a dry er but scarcely more inviting coun try and after many weary miles of “puffing,” arrive at Creston. the summit of the great Rocky Mountain chain* termed the/‘backborn of the the special Book-keeper—Dr. Boze man—the Treasurer’s statements and his own searching inquiry and tedious investigation. He was earnest, careful Treasury for payment. As they were perfect and bore no marks or evi dence of being “crooked,” and be longing to the exact class of bonds he was required to pay by the Nut ting bill, he supposes they were paid without suspicion, as they were with out any knowledge on ‘fils 'part of previous payment. If Angier did place the bonds in the Y"ault uncan celled, after having lugged them all the way from New York at bis own risk, it is difficult to account for their abstraction, and as Capt. Jones swears ho had no notice of their be- and particular in his remarks and i°g iu the Vault, and never saw or responses, and left but little doubt on our mind as to the correctness of his information and theory of the painful denoument, and none as to the honesty of his purposes and con victions. Much that was communicated to us by these gentlemen, was, very properly, placed under the seal of heard of them till presented for pay ment, there seems to be an issue of veracity which the people or the courts will have to decide; and in such a case it^s not probable that Capt. Jones will suffer much. As to the undercurrent scandal a- bout Capt. Jack’s private financial transactions, there is nothing in it. confidence, while none of the facts ' He accounts for every dollar paid to stated were expected to be published till authoritatively; but their account of the difficulties cast a shadow over the ex-Treasurer, and our heort grew weary at the recital and our coi dence in human integrity weaken! to absolute distrust in all mankind. THE OTHER SIDE, Retiring from the Executive chamber, Capt. Jack Jones, who did not know of our presence in the city, was confronted on the steps of the Capitol, and cordially, but pressing- ly invited us into his office for the avowed purpose of exhibiting his side of the question, and placing us in possession of all the facts from his stand point. With a heavy heart, and painful misgivings we sat down to the task of penetrating the mystery and probing the unseemly muddle to the bottom. Here it is important to state that Capt Jones had written up his books, made up his accounts and presented a final statement to the relieve his Milledgeville property from mortgage embarrassment, as well as that expended in building hia home in Atlanta. Not a dollar came from the State treasury, or from any other improper source, and of this fact any gentleman can be amply assured by five minutes interview with him. For the Union & Reoorder.

It seemed to Mortemar that all the graces had assisted at her toilet, and there were her proud airs mingled with maidenly sensibility, and her queenly glances reflecting a nobility of nature softened with ten derness, at this interview with the man she loved. Arising to get a volume which lay on a table before her, her step was as graceful, and her movements as di vine, as those of a Psyche or a venus. Years of royal culture could not have | infused more spirit or beautiful im pressiveness in any female figure. Mortemar was bewildered.
