The same night, ■ Mr. Stanley’s plantation was attacked and burnt, within three mi es of Newnansri le. The day pre } vions, near Fort King, Capt.

Three Indians were killed. Two men, while out hunting in the Turnbull swamp, within ten miles of Sr. Augustine, were fired on by the Indians, but made their escape. A* Important Case.—The Harrisburg Key stone says; Under a special act of assembly, passed a year ago, a case is to be brought before the Supreme Court at Harrisburgdunng 11s May terra, which u ill determine w hether the laws of this commonwealth, on the subject of kidnapping, and the apprehen sion of runaway slave?, is constitutional or not. — The act provides for carrying the case eventually before the Supieme Court of the United Slate*.— Tbisi* a question of great interest and importance, both to the Southern States and to the Northern sriate*. It involves, what the slave state* regard as their dearest rights, and the free Stales, their con stitutional right to pas* such law* on this subject i for the “ delivery” of runaway slaves, as they may deem proper, if they do not impair the right ol the sfove holder to his acknowledged property. The case originated in York county, and the counsel, so fir as we have heard their.naraes, are Mr. Mere dith, of Baltimore, for the defendant, and the Attor ney General, Mr. Johnson, for the common wealth. There may be others but we have not learned ihctr names The case is the |Com men wealth against Prigg and others indicted for kidnapping. From the National Intelligencer. The result of the Virginia election*, we grieve to see, has quite crazed the venerable Editor of the Richmond Enquirer. The defeat has proved too much for his keen sensibilities, and the man ner in which he takes on is distressing to witness. He runs and foams, like Richard at the field of Bosworlh, calling on the Republicans (whom he mistakes for his own party) to “come to the res cue;” forgetting, unhappy man, that the Republi cans have come to the rescue, and that it is the “royalists” who are overthrown. He raves about “tricks and expedients,” “ apathy of the large democratic counties.” “low prices,” “ Balti more Convention,” “Clay, Webster, Sergeant, Southard, & C 0.,” “threatened change,” and exclaims, “What! change the political adminis tration of the country !” “change back the days of Jefferson [he takes Mr. Van Buren for Mr. Jef ferson, and thinks, alas! that Mr. Jefferson is still President] to those of John Adams!” ‘tariff,” “bank,” “American system,” “log cabins,” “Tip pecanoe clubs,” “the Philistines are on us,” “rouse organize, rally, rally, rally.” Then, hoarse and exhausted— ” In ihe pause of his speech His lip doth work with inward muttering.

The boat-tackle was run down, and had every appearance that the boat had been lower'd, and the Capt. and crew saved. The sails and boom were gone, which, if the vessel had been laying to, would have been so well secured that they would ha ye held to the wreck as long as the masts. The canvass, reported by another vessel to have been found in the mam-rigging, had no ap l*earance of having been occupied by any one on the wreck. The vessel was swimming so low, no part of her cargo could be saved. Capt. B. is of opinion that the Capt. and crew were saved. — Tul~ luhussee Floridian oj the 9t h. The Living Phantom. A TRUK BTORT. When I was a young boy, I bad delicate health, and was somewhat of a pensive and contem plative turn of mind ; it was my delight in the long summer evenings, to slip away from my noisy and more robust companions ; that I might walk in the shade of a venerable wood my favorite haunt, and listen to the cawing of the old rooks, who seemed as fond of their retreat as I was. One evening I sat later than usual, though the distant sound of the cathedral clock had more than once warned me of ray home. There was a stillness in all nature that I was unwilling to disturb by the least motion. From this reverie I was suddenly startled by the sight of a tall slender female, who was standing by me, looking sorrow fully and steadily in my face. She was dressed in white, from head to foot, in a fashion that I had never seen before ; her garments wore un usally long and flowing, and rustled as she glided through the low shrubs near me, as if they were made of the richest silk. My heart beat as if I was dying, and I know not that I could have stir red from the spot, but she seemed so very mild and beautiful. I did not attempt it. Her pale brown hair, w as braided round her head, but there were some locks that strayed upon her neck; and, although she looked like a lovely picture, hut not like a lovely woman. I closed my eyes for cibly with my bands, and, when I looked again, she had vanished. I cannot exactly say why I did not, on my re turn, speak of this beautiful whv, with a strange mixture of hope and fear, I went again and again to the same spot, that I might see her. She always came, and often in the storm and plashing rain, that never seemed to touch or annoy her, and looked sweetly on me. and silently passed on ; and though she was so near to me, that once the wind lifted those light stray'ng locks, and I felt them against my cheek, vet I never could move or speak to her. I foil ill; and when I recovered, rov mother closely questioned t me of the tall la Jv. of whom in the height of my f fever. T had so often spoken. < I cannot tell vou what a weight was taken from ‘ my lioyish spirit* when I learned that this was no i apparition, but a most lovely woman —not young though she bad kept her young look* ; for grief which had broken her heart seemed to have spared her beauty- When the rebel troops were retreating after their total defeat, in that very wood I was so fond of, a voung officer, unable any longer to endure the anguish of his wounds, sunk from hi* horse and laid himseif down to die. He was found there by the daughter of Sir Henry R-——, «nd j conveyed by a trusty domestic to her father’s man j ston. Sir Henry was a loyalist ; but the officer’s desperate condition excited his compassion, and . bis many wounds spoke a language a brave man | could not misunderstand. S:r Henry’s daughter, I with many tears pleaded for him T and promised that he should l« carefully and secretly attended. And well she kept that promise ; for she waited j upon him (her mother being long dead) for many weeks. You may fancy, better than I can tell you, a* he slowly recovered all the moments |that were 1 spent in reading, and low voiced singing and gen tle playing on the lute; and how many fresh flowers were brought Jto one, whose wounded limbs would not bear him to gather them for him self; and how calmly the days glided on in Ilc blessedness of returning health, and in that sweet silence so carefully enjoined him. I will pass by this, to speak of one day. which, brighter and pleasanter than others, did not seem more lovely than the looks of the young maiden as she gaily spoke of “ a little festival, which (though it must bear an unworlbier name)sbe meant reallyjto give 1 in honor of her guest’s recovery.” “And it is time lady,” said he “ for that guest, so tended and so honored, to tell you bis whole story, and speak to you of one who will help him to thank you; may I ask you, fair lady, to write a little billet for me, which even in these times of dan ger, I may find some means to forward.” To his mother, no doubt, she thought, as wiih light steps and a lighter heart, she sealed herself by his couch, and smilingly bade him dictate; but when he said. *• My de ir wife,” and lifted up his eyes to be asked for more, he saw before him a pale statue, that gave him one look of utter despair, and fell (fur he had no power to helpßer) heavily |at his feet. Those eyes never truly reflected the pure soul again, or answered by answering looks the fond inquiries of her poor old father. - ! From the Louisville News Letter. The Lonely One. A BALLAD. My eye is dim--a shadow shrouds The beamy «»f y n Isle : My locks are - the fleecy clou is in day’s departing smile- And I have Jived a lonely life. Away front men apart; 1 could not share their ways and strife, W hile roved aw ay ray heart. Ah, little dreams ihe thoughtless world, Wha* anguish oft is worn, Beneath ihe smile, which upward curled, Tells less of 1. ve than scorn ! I have not toU, why I have roved Unpurpost d and alone ; The tale is short—o'er her I loved, The wintry winds now moan. 3 H-.rd by Ohio’s noble stream, i climbed to manhood’s height; The creature of each brilliant dream. Which glowed infancy’s light. And one there was, whose childish glee in early youth 1 loved ; Hersmilee en then, was heaven to me, As my devotion proved. The schoolhouse task performed, at eve I lingered by her side ; And w hen I took reluctant leave, Sorrow my smiles belied. I love to dwell upon her form Os inn- cence and mirth : It—it alone, my heart an warm, With feelings nut of earth. Well, we grew up—l h>oked the man. And she was very fair ; To her my feelings w.ldiy ran— NoneeUe rny heart could share. Ko studied artificial grace Her woman action Wore : And every thought ihat ’lumed her face Seemed bom but to adore. To her no fawning crowd e’er knelt. No sickly praise arose. But on her cnarms affection dwelt, Such as the heart but knows. And she was like the sweet wild-flower Within yon forest’s shade : Abloom most bright, kmd nature’s dower. Her womanhood displayed. I saw, and loved, and longed to share The treasures of her heart For daily growing on ray care, fehe madelile’s dearest part. But w hen ol passion I would speak, My voice would shrink away ; When love is strong-**! words are weak. And looks the heart betray. One eve, which I shall ne’er folget, WPile life this bosom warms. My blushing Mary’s sm;le 1 met. And owned its magic cdarns. We strayed away down bj* the stream. And gazed upon the wave. Which to each star a shattered gleam Os dancing radtar.ee gave. It was a blessed night for love— The moon shone bright on high. And every leaf ihat hung above Waved as the breeze went by. I looker! upon my Mary’s fare— The light was hallowing it; There seemed upon her brow the trace Os love that truth had writ, I barely w hispered her loved name- - Her eye was raised to mine,— Upon her cheek a flush there came Os feeling must div ine. ’Fwas but a moment, when her heat! Reclined upon my breast : 1 clasped her in my arras and said * Here thou shall ever rtst.’ ’Fwas done—and in our soul’s deep hush Our being s seemed but one ; Abs ! that lime should ever crush A love which thus begun I Yeara—many veers since th n have passed— That hour supremely bright. O’er all mv grief a light hath cast— 'l he star of life’s long n ; ghi. And, like some eastern worshipper, To it I’ve so nt my knee— And from thatiaiih i'll only stir When death shall set me flee. As the doomed felon will look back. With ejes hedimned with tears. Beyond the crimes which slain his track Upon Jus sinless years— So I e’en now delight to glance 1 Upon those days ot youth, I When life was hut a hnghi romance Unshadowed by stern truth. ’ And o’erjhe waste w hich intervene The voice of love will come I And bid me hope for hraven.'y sr* M < Wlicre faith shall find a home. * f Rio. 1 The Cholera— ln the month of February that dreadful scourge, the Cholera, wu commt ting dreadful ravages among the native* of C* cutta.
