KATlitlRINK OK RUSSIA. Dark anil dreadful was the night of the 25th of No vember, 1680, and heavily fell the mow flakes; hut darker was the prospect, and heavier was the heart of the poor Livoniuu, os lie reached the skirts of the dense forest surrounding the town of Marie- burgh. Misfortune hid compelled the indigent peasant to Bever the endearing relations that bound him to his native village, to hid adieu to the scenes of his early days, to abandon his fnvorite haunts of sa cred memory, and seek among strangers that which , was denied him in the midst of his friends. Accompanied by his first born—n sprightly youth of fourteen—mid bearing in his arms u tender infant, the expressimnge of her whom hehnd lately consign ed to the tomb, holind wellnigh completed a faithful journey through a bleak and inhospitable region. A violentstonn of snow and wind (peculiar to the drea ry country) fiercely rnged, beuring destruction and desolation in its progress, and producing terror in the minds of the unsheltered wanderers. Overcome by the severity of the cold, and unable longer to sustain his precious charge, he carefully deposited it upon a bed of snow and went in guest of assistance and a kind retreat from the howling storm. Hut he return ed not again. Thoearly dawn hnd discovered a froz en corpse to the astonished tenants of an obscure cot- • tage in the outskirts of tho quite village. “Great God ! what do I hear?" ejaculated the pious minister, Skovrouski, ns its cries of distress, fulliug upon his eager ears during a temporary cessation of tile storm, attracted his attention to the frozen em bankment upon which rested the infnnt. lie hesitu- ted not to reflect upon tire cruel misfortune that had bereft the infant of parental protection ; nor did he wastutimein the fruitless endeavor of discovering those who abandoned their offspring to the storm, But content to acknowledge the mysterious agency of “Him who doeth all tilings well,” be fled with winged footsteps to its rescue." Wrapping it in bis ample cloak, he hastened to reach his right home, that he minister to its relief ere the spirit bnd fled from that undiscovered countyr from whose bourne notraveller returns. Arrived at the peaceful cot, he consigned his tender charge to the care of his kind-hearted house keeper. and again sallied out in search of other objects for his benevolence. He bad not proceeded far be fore his attention was called to the melancholy scene before noticed. Papers were found upon the unfor tunate stranger which induced tile minister to believe that he was the purent of the infant that he rescued from the ruthless elements of the night before, and no sooner was he impressed with the idea them the res olution was taken to adopt the babe ns his own daugh ter, and to bring it up in the path of duty and in the nurture anil admonition of the Lord. Ordering the last tribute of respect to be pnid to the remains, nc- • cording lu the rites of the Greek Church, he took charge of its effects, for the benefit of his youthful pro tege. fears pnssednway, and, under the affectionate, care and protection of the good pastor and his benevolent companion, Katharine (for such she was named by her foster parents) increased not only in personal beauty and loveliness, but, ns she grew in years, de veloped those peculiur graces and disposition which become an amiable and grateful daughter. And soon she was enabled, by assidious attention to the wants of their declining years, to testify her appreciation of their sell-sacrificing devotion to her youthful days. The Czar of Russia, not content with his widely extended dominions, and desirous of the conquest and annexation of the province of Livonin, hnd al ready marched hia force upon its chief city. Kntha- riue had Httained her ■thirteenth year when his formi dable cannon announced to the inoffensive inhabitants the bombnrdment of their quiet town. With a view to her safety, she was separated from the aged pastor and sent to his sister, Alexin. • The patriotic Skovrouski remained to assist in the defence of his nativ&city. But tho efforts of the be- seiged proved fruitless, and they were compelled to surrender captives of war, and subjects of the Empe ror oi Russia. The humiliating news spread like lightning, and no sooner did it reach the enger enrs of Katharine, than she'determined to rcturnjund slinre the fate of her ben efactor. The dusky shade of evening was just closing in as a horse, reeking with foam, and almost ready to sink from exhaustion, reached tho border of the wood nearest the gates of Marienburgh. Emerging from the shadoof the trees, its progress was suddenly m rested by a soldier seizing the bridle, and rudely demand ing— “Where are you going?" “ Whatis that to you ?” was the peremptory reply. “I am in haste, and pray you allow me to pass unmo lested.” “ Impossible 1” replied the sentinel, thou art a Li vonian, and now Livonia belongs to Peter I, of Rus sia. You are therefore, my prisoner, and must be conducted before our general. Arrived at the general’s tent, she threw herself at his feet, and demanded the privilege of seeking her protector among tho slain. Moved at the eight of her youth, and astonished at her courage, the general f ranted her request on condition of her returning to im when she hud completed her search. The night was dismal, mid the undertaking a fear ful one, but tho difficulties daunted not the resolute Katharine. She soon came upon a field covered with the unequal contest, while the groans and cries of anguish told that many bail survived the slaughter. Intent alone upon discovering her more than fa ther, she did not discover the presence of a young Cossack officer, who, struck with her charms, and admiring her boldness, hnd accompanied her to the gory field; “ The evening nil- is chilling, and this is no place for woman ; pray return and leave me to seek your wounded kinsman.” Astonished at the sound of a human voice she turn ed and recognized in the stranger the s, mine 1 who bad impeded her progress without the cilv walls. Refu sing his generous offer, she pcrrnitted'him to aid her in her crrnpd of mercy and love. Long and tedious was the search, but unavailing, and at early dawn they returned to the city, havitnr failed to find the remains of the good old minister ° Kathnfine religiously kept her word, mid surrender ing herself a prisoner of war demanded the protec tion of tho noble general. Bereft of her preserver and benefactor, she was now ■done in the world; and young with promise of low- life, there were no ties to bind her to earth, and she longed to join her pious mid devoted guardian. A prisoner, she was treated with marked courtesy and respect by the general-in-chief, who ordered her well furnished apartments and every attention to her com fort and pleasure; .She also received many kindness es'from tile youthful Cossack, who at length became enamored with her charms, and proved the strewnli s». Ijt his attachment by procuring her release from con- ■rfuement, upon parole of honor, and personal securi- Mp for her safety. Ilis assidious attention to her wants, ■■ml earnest ellorts in her behalf were not without “heir reward, for she soon came to regard him as her hope,, her refuge and lord of her infections. The general and the young officer, who appeared from ins dress to be asimple lieutenant, were the oc cupants of the tent, and Katharine was employed in superintending their domestic affairs. One day as she was engaged in serving their custo mary meal, the conversation turned upon the merits of their fair maid, and the young officer addressing the termer in tones laudatory'of-her coUra-e nnS 1 vanity, concluded with the inquiry— “General, will you sell your prisoner?" “And what will you do with her ?" 'iVV.hat say you, Kuihuriue t added lie, turning to the blushing damsel. Her hesitating response was. “I would rather be the wife of n soldier thun the servant of a general.” “Bravely spokenfrom this moment vou are mine,” ho rejoined, “bat we must obtain the permission of the Czar. I will go immediately to the Emperor's tent, and receive his sanction to our union. Airmail! hero, whilel seek nil audience ut our majesty ’ In a few moments, a young lieutenant, advancing to the general’s tent, said— “ The Czar Ppter, commands the presence of M'il-3 Katherine." With quick, though trembling step, she followed and, on entering the magnificent tent, discovered, o' throng of officers surrounding one who was s, an d. .aid whom she recognized us her qffiuncied husband. “ Where is the Emperor ?” demanded Katharine of her conductor. There !" replied he, pointing to the soldier who wataSeated. “ That ii my husband.” “ He is tby husband, and Czar of Russia likewise," fcrence out the qhnpernr, (for it was lie ;) and present- in ; h. r ro his officers, bade them acknowledge the humbleKutbarine. us the future Jimprc---: of llu siu. Tlie <|ueen’* Hunt Baby. The London correspondent of the Boston Pilot gives the following account of the birth of little Vic’s baby: Last Wednesday morning, tho whole town, was startled by the loud peels of all the church bells, by the roar of cahnon, ami by tho rapid movements of gov ernment messengers. The telegraph office, too, w«b monopolized by tho government,—the wires were in cessantly in operation, and official dispatches were sent to the four corners of the earth. A stranger would naturally ask. what all this noise and confusion was about; and whether England was likely to be invaded by France,—whether the Chartists hnd again organized themselves, or whether there was another red-hot rebellion in Ireland! If one’s feelings were all excited,how cheap and flat one must feclwhenin- formed that the whole of this grand hubbub was caused by the birth of a royal pauper! Yes, Queen Victoria made a present on Wednesday last to the na tion, called Great Britain, of another of thoso interes ting little strangers, mid there are now seven of these distinguished and very expensive national playthings. In a few years tho people, the trades people, as well as the working-men ol tho nation, will find that some very heavy additional tnxbill will bo presented to them, and then they will murmur, as I have heard sever al Englishmen murmur, about this affair, within for ty-eight hours. John Bull professes to rejoice at this event. He says, in the mosthypocriticaHangunge, “that it is once more our joyful task to give utterance to thoso feelings of dutiful and affectionate attachment to tho crown and the person of Queen Victoria, which every accession to her Majesty’s domestic hap piness calls forth in loyal hearts.’’ (This is false hood the first, now comes the second.) “ Another royal child is born to strengthen a throne whose foundations have ever been deeply laid in the willing homage of a free people." (These royal children will weaken the throne ami the government, for the people will refuse to pay enormous taxes for their future splendid establishments; However, here is falsehood the third.) “ The customary signs of pub lic rejoicing by which the country has already wel- coined its infant Prince, have a reality and truth in them far beyoml their mere conventional import." (Throughout the whole of Wednesday, when I in formed dozens of Englishmen that a prince was bom, tlie only acknowledgement I obtuineil for the infor mation was to the effect— 1 * its another had job” “more taxes for us’’—“ah, she’d better be satisfied now.” and similar expressions—ns for any “ rejoicing" on the occasion there certainly was not. But herds falsehood the fourth and last.) “ The heart of Eng land speaks of popular gladness, and from myriads of homes has arisen tho earnest prayer that, whilst other royal families are wandering as homeless ex iles,,and whilst other thrones are yet rocking to and tro, Queen Victoria and her House may ever enjoy the blessingH which Heaven lias hitherto poured on a monarch whose sceptre is the symbol of just laws and liberties." Nearly all the metropolitan journals are sending fourth such sickening and fulse adulation, whilst bulletins are issued daily from Buckineliam Palace, and prayers are ordered to bo instantly pre pared to be read in all tho churches I The Great Crevasse. The New Orlenns Delta speaking of the Toint Cou. pee Crevasse, an account of which we published yesterday, says : This break occurs at a point where the river has long indicated a tendency to break through to the sea, in a direction which would be less than one-half the distance it is now compelled to meander, before ,it reaches its destination In other words, the dis tance lrom the Grand Levee, in Point Coupee, to the sea-shore, by a straight line, would he little more than one-third tlie distance from that point to the Be lize. This tendency of the Mississippi toward the sea-shore, has been developing itself every year, un til, by the unfortunate and unwise net of cutting the linccourci Cut-off, the whole torrent was brought down with such mighty pressure, that gradually all the barriers erected in Paint Coupee have given wav and even previous to this break iu the Grand Levee nearly one-hult ot the parish had been put under tva- ter. This regent calamity, however, is the last and crowning disaster of the multitude which hnve nffiic- ted our State during the last season. The water which breaks through here, will hasten rapidly to wards the sea, over a country the fairest and most productive on this continent. We refer to the Atta- kapns, embracing the parish of St. Mary, which pro duces tlie largest amount of Sugar of any parish in the State,—St. Martin, Lafayette, and a large part of Ascension and Iberville. These parishes are situated in a linv, flat country, composed of alluvial soil, tnd watered by numerous bayous and lakes. The flow ot bo large a body of water into these outlets, will cause such a serious rise ns must inundate tho whole country It was, we believe, by n similar crevassee in 18z8, Hint many of the beet portions of these parish es, nmv cultivated with success, where submerged to tlie extent of 12 or 15 feet. If tlie quantity of water discharged is at nil equal to that of 1828, there can be no exaggeration of the damage done. It will reach several—-n ay, many millions. We rest in hope, how- ever, that either the crevasse will he stopped, or that some measure may be devised to arrest this most dis astrous flood. The Knocking* Accounted for. A gentleman who has heard anil watched atten tively tlie phenomena of the mysterious ruppings has furnished us with his solution of the matter—which as being the only rational explanation we have heard' deserves to he recorded. lie says that tlie ruppings when lie first heard them reminded him instantly ol the discharges of an elec tric buttery, cucli detonation being double, as in the case with them. Now by supposing that one of tlie lnd.es is powerfully charged with electricity in a pos itive form, while the other charged negatively the phenomenon of tlie sounds, or ruppings, is at 'once accounted for. It is well known that'll person in a magnetic state receives and reflects whatever is in the mind ot the person in communication : and this rea dily explains the general correctness of the answers given to questions. It accounts, also, for tile incor rect replies sometimes given, by supposing that the impression of the questioner’s mind upon that of the uiaguetizce is weak, confuted or imperfect. This ap pears to us to he mi eminently rational view of the ease, and places the whole subject, if not out of the pale of mystery, at least behind tlie ranks of novelty, by including it at once among the innumerable dem onstrations of animal magnetism.—N*ui York Dan- Book. J The Slave. Question in the Connecticut legislature —On Thursday there was a debate in the Connecti cut Senate, on the subject of a series of resolutions in hivor of .Mr. Clay’s compromise, reported by tlie ina- jorityof the committee of that body on Federal Rein- tions. A speech in favor of the resolutions was made by Mr. Toucty, who expects to be elected to tlie Senate of the United States. They were rejected 6 to lb, with tlie exception ot tlie 4th one, declaring it ex pedient to abolish the slave trade iu tlie District. That was adopted i7 to 4. ™’ ow Cmcr Literature.—As we have not read the •Robber ot tlie Rhine," we cannot judge of the apt ness ot the following satire: * “The Boston Bee records a shocking accident in mat city, t washerwoman undertook to drive a nail tlnough a hoard partition. Hearing a scream from me other stde, she entered the next room, and found that sue had driven tho nail into the head of a man it reading •The Robber of tho Rhine \ alley. 1 he man has. since died. “Ho died ot the hook—not of tho nail. Any man who would read the hook, couldn’t be hurt by having a nail driven mto his head." ° I.rtraodinary Marriage. Mr. llopkins of Lowndes county, Miss aged 56, recently married a Miss Mathews, aged about 35. What renders tills alliance extrnodinarV is that hotn parties are so afflicted with Rheumatism that neither have walked a step lor 23 years, and the bride ts unable to dress or undress herself. The reason as- Signed by Mr. II. tormnrrymg Miss AL. is, “ that some two years ago lie married a woman that could walk and she ran off with a stage driver, and he wanted a wile that he was certain couldn’t get off” II tikes Rail Road.—The sum of $133,100 was re- c -inly subscribed at a public meeting in Wilkes coun ty, to build a Rail Road from Washington to the Geor gia Rail road. Disturbance in Martinique. Intelligence has been received that the negroes of St. I’irrrie, (Martin ique,(set fire to that place on tile 10th May, then sur rounded that city, and perpetrated tlie most horrid outrages. One hundred houses were destroyed. Tim whites armed themselves and martial law de clared. '"(P The Actual Official Signatures of the Secre tary of State during the last fifteen months, amounts to the sum of 12,207.. besides private letters. Of these signatures 0,lfl7 were for passports alone. . </' ' rherearo now 16 sail of vessel-* gone iu search oi Sir John Fruuklin. Norfolk, June 17. Orders have been received here for tlie equipment of the steamer Powhatan, and the sloops of wur Jamestown and Saratoga with des patch. The Saranac will be detained, some months, until her machinery is being repaired at the Gosport’ works.—Beacon. Washington, June 17. The Buit between the Meth odist Episcopal Church and the Church South, was brought to a close to-day, Judge Taylor ruling that those claiming as the Church South were not entitled to be made purties to this BUit, and further deciding that B. Wheat and others, the coiuplainunts in the case, were the true benefleinries of the trust, and enti tled to the immediate possession. Yellow Fever at Rio. Accounts from Rio Joncrio state that the fever still prevails there to a most dis- Hsteroua extent. There arc one hundred dcuths dully —the stores are all closed, und the business is almost suspended. At Pernambuco, ulso the fever is very fatal. Dreadf til Steamboat Disaster. The steamboat Griffith, Capt. Koby, wus burnt on Lake Erie, near Cleveland, on Alonday. Itissuppuseil there werenear300 persons on board, and that 260 ot the number perished, most ol whoril were emigrants. Capt. Ruby, his wife and 4 children, and Iloruce Palmer, are umoug those men tioned us missing. The mate, who swam ashore from the burning boat lor help, hus reached Cleveland, und reports that only thirty of those on hoard were saved, uud these had to swim ashore, there being no other vessel near to render assistance. Columbus, Pa., Juno 17. A very destructive lire occurred ill this pluce this morning, which hus in volved a loss of $50,000. Among the buildings burn ed are the Spy printing office, and tjie ruilroadgjepot. l ull thirty families ore rendered homeless by “is ca lamity. s avast sjaihl Friday Morning, June 21, 1850 Madainc Bishop’* Concert. By the advertisement in another column, it will be seen that tho distinguished Vocalist, Madame Anna Bisiior, is to give her first Concert in this city, at Armory Hall, this evening. Madame Brsnor is too well known as one of the first artists that lias ever visited this country, to need commendation from us, and we need only to congratulate our citizens that un opportunity is now afforded them of hearing her, of whose fame, in this country and in Europe, they have already lieard so much. Air. Bochsa, the eminent Harpist, accompanies Mad. B , and will perform, this evening, several airs on the Ilarp, an instrument on which it is said he has few equals, and no superiors. Trial of Gcu. Lopez. .“peaking of the examination of Gen. Lopez, now in progress in New Orleans, the Picayune says: The whole examination, thus far, has become a sol emn farce, in which, while there is a grand display of legal and forensic skill, all parties clearly see the in evitable end that Gen. Lopez will be discharged for want of testimony to fix the offence upon him, and that tlie whole tenor of the investigation, the half ad missions, and the refusals to answer, will leave a pret ty general conviction that another decision would have been arrived at if men would, have told all that they appear to know. Tiiis will not, however, impeach the propriety of the discharge of Gen. Lopez, whose exemption from any legal penalty is as perfect as though the nbsence of evidence were from the mere simple cause that there is none in any body's possession, either to be brought forward or kcp„ back. Late fhoji Cuba. The N. O. papers have a dis patch from South West rasa, dated 14th inst., which snys. The schoonfcr Fairy, Captain Willinms, four days from Havana, has just arrived at the Pass. Cap tain W. reports all things quiet when he left Havana. The American prisoners were to he delivered up to the authorities ot tlie United States. The National Intelligencer of Monday, soys : Notwithstanding the contrary reports of the vari ous letter-writers and newsmongers about this city, which we see published in the Eastern papers with in tlie last day or two, we learn, with much gratifica tion that there is nothing in the aspect of affairs be tween this Government and that of Spain to warrant the apprehension of a rupture between them at this time. The Government has no knowledge of any torture or death inflicted upon the Contoy prisoners, as reported in letters thus dispatched from this city, and wo trust that in a few days the communications with Cuba will put an end to the rumors.” Georgia Campiiine. Air. D. Statting has es tablished ot Augusta a Factory for making Campiiine and Burning Fluid. The Editor of the Constitution alist, who has been burning Mr. Statting's Cnm- phinc for some time, pronounces it as good as any he has ever used. Telegraphic News. In the Charleston Cou rier of Wednesday morning, we find the following telegraphic dispatch : It is stated that Air. Forrest, the tragedian, was cowhiilcd in the streets of N. Y. yesterday, by n Air N. P. WilUs. In the'Mercury of the same date we find the follow- ing: Forrest, the tragedian, cowhideil N. P. Willis in the streets yesterday. These statements leave it doubtful as to who was the cowliidcr and who the cowhidee. The presumption is that there has been a rowhiding,and the friendsofthe respective parties are enabled to adopt the version that suits them best. It strikes us, however, that the mail-milliner poet would cut a rather ridiculous fig ure in attempting to cowhide the stalwart tragedian . We would ns soon expect to hear that Tom Thumb had swallowed tho Irish Giant. ' Since the above was in type, we have received the Courier of yesterday morning which says that tlie mistake occurred with that paper and not tlie tele graph. Air. Willis is the whipped man, not the whip- per. The Inclined Plane at Aiken. The South Car. olina Rail Road Company have advertised for Con tracts, for grading a track round this plane. We understand tlie route has been surveyed, grubbed and cleared, and the stations properly marked, and tliut the Company, have already commenced a por tion of the work. The grading, as advertised, will lie open for contracts until the 15th of July. The Day Star of Truth: A Magazine of Edu cation and Literature, for the use of Families and Schools.—Mr. J. D. Reagan has laid on our table a pamphlet of sixteen pages, with tlie above title, of which he is publisher and editor. The work is pub lished at Aliliedgeville, in this State, at $1 per annum. The design is a laudable one, and wehope Air. R. may succeed in giving an'intrinsic value to his publication by which he will be enabled to command a commen surate support. He is at p resen tin this city soliciting subscriptions. The AIetiiodist Church. According to n state ment recently made, the AL E. Church South has had an increase, during tlie past year, of 12,595 members, 58 travelling preachers, and 827 local preachers. Tlie whole number of travelling preachers is 1,642, of whom 904 are superanuated ; local preachers 3,226; members 366,582 whites; 184,722 colored; 3,226 In dians. Total, 504,530. Later from Cienfuegob. Tho brig Susan, of Boston, from Cienfuegos, brings information that ac tive preparations were going on to defend that place. Troops were in constant training, and every male in habitant of age was compelled to enrol in tlie militia The Custom House hud been pierced with port-holes' for cannon, and it was stated that some 2,000 Cubans would join the revolutionary standard’at the above place. There seemed to he but little confidence, be tween tlie authorities-and the natives. The Lawrence Divorce Case. The late trial in Louisville, ky. in which Afrs. Sal- lie Lawrence sued for a divorce from her husband Mr. T. B. Lawrence, of Boston, seems to have caused a tremendous sensation among tho cnlico aris tocracy of the latter city, and will doubtless afford an iucxliuustible theme of discussion in the Saloons of the fashionable Watering Places of the North during tho ensuing Summer. The parties are rich and fash ionable, and the lady is said to be handsome; hence an immense amount of interest is tuken in their domestic aflairs by a sympathizing public. Hitch favored indi viduals are not to be presumed to Iirvc enough of that vulgar commodity common sense to enable them to deport themselves like common, respectable people, and are, of course, not be condemned for conduct that would bring disgrace upon men and women in the ordinary walks of life. How disgusting is jhis truckulent spirit. We cannot understand why tlie public have any more reason to distress themselves about tho quarrel between Air. and Airs. Lawrence, than they have to take to heart the unhappy relations oi Air. anil Airs. Snooks, or any body else. Air. Lawrence was very rich, and ho desired to marry a reputed belle—Mrs. Lawrenoe was very beautitul and she desired to marry a fortune—in their marriage tlie ambition of both parties wns accom plished. Airs. Lawrence left the scene of her youth ful triumphs to reside in Boston with her husband. She soon grew tired of mere weultli, and he of mere beauty. 1 heir tastes and feelings wore uncongenial as the climes of their nativity, and the habits of their lives. Ihey were not, however, disappointed, for they had not based their union upon an appreciation of each other ; but thev were dissatisfied as children become dissatisfied with their toys the lady returned to her home in Kentucky, and afterwards refused to rejoin her husband, wheruopon that gentleman adver- tised her ns a runaway. This is about a fair statement of the whole affair, and it would have been well to let the matter rest at that point in its history, ns there is no heart ill the matter, and the position oi tlie parties enables them to bear their domestic attlictions without serious in convenience. But the gallantry of Louisville was outraged nt the poverty of soul displayed in the vul gar newspaper advertisement of the deserted hus band, forewarning all persons against harboring or trusting his abecouded wife on his account. Tlie In dy is induced to sue for a divorce—she has a henring before a Louisville court, at which tier husband de clines to imswer—und tlie divorce is granted. Her at torneys took occasion during the proceedings to de nounce the Lawrence family, the husband of Airs. L. especially. A report of the ense is published by a Louisville papers of which three or four large editions were sold—of course producing a tremendou seusation in the fashionable circles of Louisville, nnd arousing the indignation of the Lawrences and their Boston frien'ds, who are filling columns of the news papers in vindication of the much abused husband. Wonderful disclosures are threatened, and Air. Law. bence is called upon by his friends to publish tlie correspondence between himself and his wilful wife. Louisville upbraids the Lawrences with all sorts of penurious meanness, nnd Boston retorts that the Indy is vain, ignorant, und totally unfitted for tlie refined society of the New England metropolis. In support of this charge, one writer, a volunteer in the quarrel, asserts that ou one occasion, when the Lawrence family hnd given a grand party for the purpose of in troducing tlie “ belle of the West” to tlie fashionable circles of Boston, she at first peremptorily refused to attend, and that when she was finally prevailed upon to grace the party with her presence, she actually made her appearance in a calico dress! Think of that—a calico dress ! What an indignity to the man whose iortune had been derived from the manufac ture of calicos! We have nlrendy occupied too much space with the subject and cannot go into any enumeration of tlie charges against Mrs. L. The above, however, is a fair specimen of those brought by tlie writer alluded to. We are promised something rich in the shape of a voluminous correspondence, and full disclosure of the whole difficulty. If we trouble our readers with any of tlie promised publications, it will be for tlie reason that they possess interest independently of their connection with the parties to the quarrel. It is seriously to be hoped that tlie affair may not lead to hostilities between Boston und Louisville and that “ tlie belle of the west” may not prove another Helen to instigate the destruction of another Troy. Tlie AIu in my Mystery Explained. The following copy ot n letter from Air. Simpson, of Pindartown, to Air. Gliddon, of Boston, having accidentally fallen into tho hands of a friend, has been furnished us for publication. The letter ex plains the mystery about tlie Gliddon Alumrny, nnd although evidently not intended for publication, we give it place for the benefit of those who feel un inter est in the subject. I’lNDARTOWN, Ga„ June 18, 1850. To Ate. Glidden, in Boston. Dear Sir: Your letter has astonished me very much. You say I am guilty of a imposition on you, by which you have hnd grent mortification, and as for paying me the rest of the money agreed for, you say you must decline. Now sir, 1 don’t want to use no hard words with nobody, but I must say your con duct to mo in this bisness is not what a gentleman's ought to be. When you writ to me to find you a sub ject for your Lecture on Alummys, I told you that I would send you one dried and done up ill the way you wanted, for $100, because the trouble would be very grent. Well, you agreed to the price, nnd sent the box and tlie rag bandages to Air. Wilson, nnd a letter saying how it must be done, nnd that you would Pay the money when you received the subject. Air. Wilson is a witness to that, nnd will make a affidavit of the truth when called oil. Nigger Uba died in Feb ruary, nnd ns he had the consumption, und had very little meat on him to dry, Wilson thought he would be the best subject we could git. So after drying him and smokin him accordin to directions, we put on the Winding cloths as you snid, only by a little accident some hot water got spilled on some of the pieces that had the writing on, and spilt some of the letters so they couldn’t be lead. Air. Wilsou helped me to fix it in t e box, mid attended the shipping of it himself, as he was going to Savannah on some bisness about that time. Now, if you’ll look to the letter that I sent with the enbject, you wont see one word about its be ing a woman. That letter snys that I have sent you the body of a nigger by the name of Oba, that I hoped you would find it all right, nnd a request that you would send me the first payment of $50 by poit. As that was early in April, und as I received tlie $50 without a word snid against the subject, I thought the matter wns to your satisfaction, til I received your letter totlicr day, sayin that 1 hnd imposed on you by sending you a man instead of n woman; which circumstance you say hns caused you a great deal of shngrin and mortification. I am sorry for that, but it is not my fault. If you had said you wanted a female subject I could have got you one ns easy ns theone lsent. I cant seeliow you came to take up the idee that the subject was a woman, unless it was because the name Oba sounds like a woman’s name. I shall expect you to send me the $50, that is due me for my trouble, and remain, Yours very respectfully, W. SimrsoN.

A letter from Broo- sin, Asia Aiinor, dated May 1st, esys,“ There are now about two hundred homeless Hungarians wandering about tlie streets of Pern, without bread or employ ment, sleeping in the streets ; even young men of col lege education, officers of the Hungarian army, are now blacking shoes in the streets, and are glad even to get that employment, saving up a few parae to go to America."
