MAjCOX, SATURDAY, JAN. 27. Buried Alive. I had been some time ill of a low and lingering fever. My strength gradually wasted, but the scenes of my life seemed to become more and more acute as my cor- Eoreal powers - became weaker. I could see y the looks of the doctor that he despair* ed of my. recovery, and the soft and whis pering sorrow of my friends taught me that I had notliftig to hope. One day towards evening the crisis took place. 1 was seized with a stactngo and in describable quivering—a rushing sound was in my ears—l saw round my- couch innumerable strange faces- they were bright and visionary and without bodies. There was light and solemnity, and I trietj to move but could not. For a short time a terrible confusion overwhelmed,me, and when it passed off all my .recollection "ness, but the power of lnofitiirhadTdoparU ed. I heard the sound of weeping at my pillow, and the voice of the nurse say, “He is dead.” I eannoT describe what I felt at these words. I exerted my utmost power of volition to stir myself, but could not move even an eyelid. After a short pause my friend drew near, and sobbing and convulsed with grief drew Iris hand over my face and closed my eyes. The world was then darkened, but I could still hear, and feel, arid sutler. When my eyes were closed I heard by the attendants that my friend had left the room, and I soon after found that the un dertakers were preparing to habit me in the garments of the grave. Their thought lessness. was more awful than the grief of my friends. They laughed at one another as they turned me from side to side, and treated xvhat they believed a corpse with the utmost appalling ribaldry.' When they laid me out these wretches retired, and the degrading formality of af fected mourning commenced. For three days a number of friends called to see me. 1 heard them in low accents speak of I was; and more than one touched me with his linger. On the third day soriie of them talked of the smell of corruption in the room. The coffin was procured ; I was lifted and laid in; my friend placed my head on what was deemed its last pillow, and 1 felt his tears drop on my .face! When all who had any particular inter est in me had for a short time lookod at me in the coffin, I heard them retire, and the undertaker’s men placed the lid on the coffin and screwed it down. There were two present; one had occasion to go away before the task was done. 1 heard the fel low-who was left begin to whistle as he turned the screw-nails, but lie checked himself and completed liis work in silence. I was then left alone ; every one shunned the room, I knew, however, that I was not buried, and though darkened and mo tionless, I had still hope; but this was -not permitted long. The day of interment ar rived—l felt the coffin lifted and borne away; I heard and felt it placed in the hearse,.some of them spoke sorrowfully of me. The hearse began tu move; I knew that it carried me to the grave. It halted, and the coffin was taken out —I felt my self carried on the shoulders of men, by the inequality of the motion, A pause en sued; I heard the cords of the coffin moved —I felt it swing as depended by them. It was lowered, and rested on the bottom of the grave. The cords were dropped upon the lid —I heard them fall. Dreadful was the etiort I then made to exert the powers of action, but my whole frame was immo vable. Boon after a few handsfull of earth were thrown upon the colli n. Then there was another pause—after which the shovel was employed, and the sound of the rattling* mould, as it covered me, was far more tre mendous than thunder. But I could make no effort. The sound gradually became less and less; and, by a surging reverbera tion in the coffin, I knew that the grave was filled up and that the sexton was tread ing in the earth, slapping the grave with the flat side of his spade. This, too, censed, then all was silent. I had no means of knowing the lapse of time, and the silence continued. This is death, thought 1, and I am doomed to re main in the earth until the resurrection. Presently the body will fall into corrup tion, and the epicurian worm that is only satisfied with the flesh of man will come and partake of the banquet that lias been prepared n>r him with so much solicitude and care. In contemplation of this hid eous thought I heard a low and undersound in the earth over me, and fancied that the worms and reptiles of death .were coming —that the mole and the rot of the grave would soon be upon me. The sound con tinued to grow lender and hearer. Can it be possible, I thought, that my friends sus pect they have bnrieil me too soon ? The hope was like light bursting through the gloom of death.' s The sounds ceased ; and presently I felt the hands of some dreadful beingAvorlcing about my throat. They dragged me out of the coffin by the head. I felt again the. living air, but it was cold, and I was car ried swiftly away —I thought to judgment, perhaps to perdition. When borne to some distance I was then thrown like a clod—it was not upon tire ground. A moment after I found myself in a carriage; and, by interchange of some brief sentences, I discovered that I was in the liandb of those robbers who live by plundering the grave and selling the bod ies of parents and children ami friends. One of the men sung snatches and scraps of obscure songs as the cart rattled along over the pavement of the streets. When it halted I was lifted out, and I soon perceived, by the closeness of the air and tne change of temperature, that I was carried into a room, and being rudely stripped of my shroud I was placed naked on a table. By the conversation of the two fellows with the servant who had ad mitted them, T learned that I was that night to be dissected. My eyes were still shut; I saw nothing; but in a short time I heard, by the bustle in the room, that the students in ap atomy were assembling. Borne of them came around the table and examined me minute ly. They were pleased to find so good a subject had been procured. The demon strator himself at last came in. Previous to beginning the.dissection he proposed to try on me some galvanic ex periment, and an apparatus was arranged for that purpose. The first shock vibrated through all my nerves; they rang and jin* Sled like the strain of a harp. The stu ents expressed their admiration at the convulsive offset. Thrsecond shock threw my eyes open ; and the first person that I saw was the doctor who attended me. But still I was dead. I could, however, dis cover among the students the faces with whom I was familiar; and when my eyes were opened I heard rny name pronounced by several of the students with an accent of awe and compassion, and wish that it had been some other subject. When they had satisfied themselves with the galvanic phenomena, the demonstra tor took the knife and-'pierced me in the bosom with the point, 1 felt a dreadful crackling, as it were, throughout my whole frame ; a convulsive shuddering instantly followed, and a shriek of horror rose from •all present. The ice of death was broken up; my trance ended. The utmost exer tions were made to restore me, and in yie course of an hour I was jn the full posses sion of all my faculties. jj@“A man has been defected stealing currency from the box placed in the Patent Office to receive contributions for the Washington monument. % A Queer Letter—J. Wilkes Booth Redivivus. The Norfolk Post contains the following singular letter: Morehead Qity, Jan. 5,1866. Editor oj the Norfolk Tost: Sir : I have just arrived at th is place from , Where I saw and talked ivith J. Wilkes Booth, the supposed assassin of your late Presi dent. That he Avould be aUye’ after what had occurred at your Capital, may be strange, but it is true nevertheless. I saw him and B. Harrjs, who left Avifclu him not four Aveeks ago, and learned fronw him all the hardships tlpit he underwent in leaving this country. He says that no one, Arho has the least regard for truth, Avill say that he was in Ford’s Theatre on the night of the. 14th of April last, and wonders AAdiy no bne present on that occa sion did not pretend to recognize the man that shot Lincoln until they were told that it was hum by Laura Keene, hjs bit ter eneroy. j Ho did- not, however, to me, r flwithaSr say, of their own knowledge, that it watf ihim. He declares that Mrs. Surratt was inno cent, and Avonders how the man that was killed in the barn looked. He learned from the papers that hejuida heavy beard, and had sheared or cut jit in 9uch an awk ward maimer that his (Booth’s) most inti mate friends would not recognize him as Booth. He thinks not, , He believed, in nocent or guilty, that if found, he would have been sacrificed to their mad fury, and concluded to leave, which he did. And as there can noAV be no harm in tell ing, I Avill state Avliat he told me—omit ting names. He crossed the river at GeorgetoAvn; stopped the next day at Fairfax Court House; the next day he was taken near Middleburg, etc., there near Gum Springs, av here lie remained twojlay; and after more than three weeks’ traveling —mostly by night, and suffering severely— he reached Florida, Avliere was detained for some time, until Harris, Avho was not mentioned in the affair, and Avho could not appear publicly, procured a boat, which they ventured to sea in, and made land safe. Booth Avas immediately taken sick, and has been most of the time since. In October he was much better, so much so that he took some exercise in the open air, but relapsed and was confined to his room until about four weeks ago. His con stitution, in my judgment, is ruined, and I don’t believe he Avill liA r e long. He AV’as preparing for a change of climate, and if no relapse has taken place, is probably uoav in another country, where lie will meet Avith more of lifsjiWn people, or people from' the same country. Mr. Editor, I poor English, that I fear you will not be able to make it out; but it is the truth, the Avhole truth, and if you Avish you may publish it. I shall not be in the country to read it. Yours truly, J. F. (JOEEPH FRIEDBERGER.) A Sample of the Stories now Being Published in Harper’s Magazine and the Atlantic • Monthly.— We extract the following from an address delivered before tho Keystone Club, of Bedford, Pennsylvania, by James F. Sunk, Esq., of New Ybrk : ' ' “It is the simplest thing in the world to write one. Reuben Tarbutton goes soldier ing (the bounty in Reuben’s district, I remark, was $1,500) and leaves Nellie Doo little disconsolate. Nellie devotes herself to knitting stockings for the negro troops which, of course, takes place in the very middle of tho deadly breach. Nellie, there upon, having dried up her tears on her apron, concludes to soothe- Rpubcn's de parted spirit by ministering to his compan ions who are left behind, and forthwith becomes an army nurse. Finally, she hap pens to be wandering through the wards of a strange hospital, hears a fa miliar voice exclaiming, “Oh! that I could but see Nellie, and die happy!” She bounds forward, tears back the curtain, there isa simultaneous squeal—“ Reuben!” and these two pure-hearted young beings are locked ip each other’s arms. Os course, Reuben wasn’t killed at all. The story was invented by a base Copperhead, who was his rival, and hadn’t pluck enough to go to the war. He was merely wounded by a twenty-inch cannon ball in the chest —soon gets on his legs— they are iiiarried —settle down in a neat cottage, with an iligible onion patch at tached—are blessed with a brood of healthy young« Abolitionists, who come by twins, and (here the moral sneaks in) are steady purchasers of all the stuff the Harpers print.” ®3rA correspondentof the London Tab let, writing from Rome, on the 19th Dec., says that an Irish priest who was admitted to an audience of the Pope, a few days be fore, asked whether he was to condemn the Fenians, of whom he said his parish was full. “Certainly,” replied the Pope, “con demn them as you must do all other secret societies, and say I authorize you to do SO.” - - * t 0 ' gfsjy, The Governor of Colorado, in his message to the Legislature of that State, speaks in favor of a railroad to the City of Mexico, two thousand miles away, which he says would be easy of construction, and through a healthy and most fertile coun try.

And lovingly together grew; The links of love that circled them, Were fetters sweet and kind and true. /* She first has bloomed a perfect flower, In odor sweet, in color fair ; The graceful mistress of her bower, She smiles on all who enter there. A half-blown rose the next appears, Soft, graceful moss her beauty shades, As fresh and sweet as dewy tears That gently fall as twilight fades. The last, a bud of promise fair, Just opening to the breath of spring, * So delicate, so sweetly rare, How could I dare its praise to sing? H-C. B. Saturday, June 9th, 1860. An Actress Captures a Broker and $17.000. —The latese New York scandal is that of the elopement of a broker with an actress. The World says: For vsome time back it is alleged that the broker referred to has been on a foot ing of intimacy with a well-known French actress, noted for her love of money, jewels, and fine dress—articles which were pro cured, it is alleged, at the expense of her male friend. The lady in the case is ex ceedingly beautiful in person, with the complexion of a peach, and magnificent dark hair and eyes. In principle She is very mercenary, and, it is said has amass ed a large fortune since her advent in this country from Paris. Several wealthy gentlemen, well known in business cir cles in this city, have, held, during the last two years, the same relations to this facinating French damsel as the unfortu nate broker, now in the foils of this mod ern Delilah. Every afternoon she was in the habit of making her appearance, like another anohyma or Skittles on Broadway, mag nificently attended, and in a handsome equipage, drawn by a spirited pair o# bays, the gift of a venerable and devoted ad mirer of hers. Her portrait in a low necked dress, with a fan and nosegay of ponderous dimensions, is on exhibition in all the leading photographic galleries on Broadway, and she is universally known to the bloods who have money to throw away, and the men about town who prefer to admire without allowing themselves to be drawn into the dangerous but fascinat ing whirlpool. On Friday last this charm ing young lady left New York for Havre, by the steamer Europa, with the intention of spending a few months in the French capital, with which she is perfectly ac quainted. It is alleged that the unfortun ate broker had made an appointment to leave in the same steamer witli the fair enchantress, but was prevented by busi ness engagements from keeping the ap pointment. It is now known that he sailed by a later steamer, and will Join his inamorata as soon Q s possible. Good Tidings prom thb Oil Regions. —A telegram was received from Burkes ville yesterday, stating that a copious stream of genuine petroleum had been flowing from the well, lately sunk by the Tennessee and Cumberland Company, for twelve hours up to Tuesday afternoon, and was still flowing when the messenger mounted horse and started for the tele graph office at Burkesville. Dr. Heguom bourg, on behalf of the company, was ran sacking the entire city yesterday for bar rels in which to shifi.the greasy fluid, and was purchasing evely thing available for that purpose. Stocks in the company im-. proved fully 100 per cent, in consequence of the intelligence, and the excitement among “men of oil” is intense. Thus the ball moves on, and ere many months, our people will wake up to the fact that we have in our midst an oil region as large and rich as the far-famed fields of Penn sylvania.—Nashville Gazette. The Richmond Times says: A few mornings since we noticed at the first marketftwo beautiful, well dressed fe males, young in years, from Powhatan county, who had driven a wagqn from horde loaded with produce, whfeh they were offering for sale. The ladies were of high respectability—and before the war were in affluent circumstances.
