Partin are very evenly balanoed in the House and it is necessary that every Dem ocrat should be in hie place or the Republicans will get control of the body. The Deni cents have onlJ| one majority over all 'parties solubleed—too olose by far to be pleasant. Per haps however this equality in num erical strength will tend to make parties rnpeot each other and thu- cause less vituperation and more work in .Congress, If this resnlt should be brought about by the means indicated, the country will have oansrto congratulate itselt upon the oloienese ol parties. At all events we trust Southern members will notallow themselves to be provoked into angry debates or any attempt to defend the South against anything exept specific charges; even that is unnecessary, since not one Northern man in ten will even see or bear of the de fence. In poryiing this course,as we have said heretofore, our mem bers willbe both best representing Southern opinion and subserve the interest of their constituents. The Macon and Brunswick It.lt. Governor Colquitt has dtcided to lease this road in January next under the law passed at the last session ot' our Legislature. We trust that the road will be leased this time according to Jaw, an ! tl.at the lessees will go to work to connect the line with Atlanta. Wo think the line suggested by our respected oot-mporsry, the Macon Telegraph and Mesieng>r,iB by far the most feasible of any that we hare seen proposed. However this may be,we trust the road will be leased or sold—sold if possible. We do uot believe that a railroad can be operated successfully for any cous.duiablu period of time by this or any other State. Written for the IIib.li). NINA; TALE OF THE A1IEMCA.\ REVOLUTION !

U|X>ii Mr arrival iu the city Edward Hartwoll lost no time in making his way to headquarter**, and paying his respects to the commanding officer of tho Britiah forces. If he had been a selfish or ambitious man he would per haps have thought on his arrival that hij visit had been too long deferred. He found Ool Campbell surrounded by Some of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Savannah—;some q(- whom he knew to have been pre vious to the capture of the city loud mouthed in their professions of friendship to the American side; now however they were the most for ward and noi: y in demonstrations of (Wr newborn loyalty. It Chanced that tlie day on which Hartwell had visited the city had been fixed upon by Col. Campbell for a general and public re ception, so that when he arrived at headquarters he found that officer sur rounded by a large and brilliant throng of ladies,civillians and military officers. Hartwell after having gone through the forms of an introduction said te Campbell; ♦‘Colonel, I am some to oongratulate you on the capture of the capital of this province and the success of his jnajestv’s arms. I trust British au thority is now permanently restored in this proviuce.” “Thank you my dear Mr. Hartwell, I may say without battery that if the Ameaicans were nil like yourself, there would be no opportunity for his maj esty's officers and soldiers to win any laurels,in this country since there would of course have been no war. But we (md begun to fear that we should not have the pleasure of your acquaintance uor the privilege of availing ouraelvei of the benefit of your counsels.” “Were circumstances otherwise, 1 an 1 v we red ho, “1 would owe you an apol- pgy for ray tardy appearance; as it is, you are entitled to an explanation, sinoo I hold it the duty of all good subjects to aid to the extent of their aVulity the good cause iu which you are engagod. If you will withdraw with uie to youder’s window fey a mo ment you shall know why I have not been here before thifl day. 1 \ III oomplionoe with this req^eSf* Campbell walked to the [joint indicated and was followed by histvis- I will u it trouble ytfu .vilu details,but 1 wi 1 briefly state that aoiuo weeks sinoo 1 was deprived of iny ouly child —a child 1 may say without boasting, that was the favorite of all my friend and that wusjustly and devotedly loved by her parents—her mother uud my self. She was little motfe ihun tlmn years old but very intelligent for her age. Wo had counted on many, many happy hours in her compauy; when without a single moment’s warning she was Snatched fioui our arms forever. 1 ' Here he was forced to pause for a mo ment to regain his composure. ‘‘Sin fell out of my boat,” he continued, “and was lost; and we wore not per mitted the consolation even of recovei ing tho body. The shock upon my wife, Mrs. Hartwell, was so sudden and tor rible that for weeks we despaired ot her reason and her life. It is ouly foi a week past that 1 have been able ti leave her bedside for more than a few minutes together. This iu brief i; why I have not sooner 'tendered you my eongratulutions for your success and victory. 11 “Your narrative is affecting and you*- loss truly deplorable. I tender yo my deepest sympathy. Iu the face < a calamity so aillicting the words u. even the dearest friends are but empty sounds; but if at any time it shall be in my power to render you any assis tance that will in the least contribute to the alleviation of the sufferings of Mrs. Hartwell and yourself do not hes itate to make known your wishes. We had hoped that Mrs. Hartwell would grace our reception with her presence. All tongues are eloqueut with praise of her amiability and goodness. 11 “Thank you for the kind manner in which you speak of Mrs. Hartwell. I have no doubt had circumstances been otherwise that she would have been happy to have contributed her mite toward making your stay in Georgia pleasant and agreeable. As it is, I fear she will never be well again. She is anxious for a change of. scene, and I have it in contemplation to return to our old home in Eugland. She thinks and I hope,she would be beuetitted by the change. I may have occasion there fore to tax your favor in a very short time for puiuiUsiuu to return home in some of his majesty's vessels.” “You shall haue the desired permis sion,’ replied Colonel Campbell; “al though we shall greatly regret the ne cessity that culls you away, as well as the loss of your influence among the people of this province. 1 * “The latter you doubtlees overrate, 1 replied Hartwell. “If permissible, I would era vo the priviligo of asking your opiuion as to the duration of this contest ?’ “Many of our officers, 11 answered Campbell, “think the rebels cannot hold out much longer; but I fear they are mistaken. Of course I would not have you repeat this, since it might discourage our own men and corres pondingly elate the rebels.* 1 ‘Thank you Colonel for your kind** nws, I think we had best return to- the company,or your guests will think I am engrossing too much of your attention. I will shortly let yon hear from me definitely with reference to my return to Eugland. In the mean time if it is in my power to render you any assistance by contributing in formation or otherwise,you have only to signify your wish and it will be ut once complied with so far as my abil ity extends.” They now mingled with the com pany and tho conversation went on as usual on such occasions. Hartwell however as. soon as custom would permit took his leave of Colonel Camp bell and his friends, and returned home, having accomplished all he had intended by his visit. When Hartwall returned home he communicated to Mrs. Hartwell the suhstance of the interview with Col. Campbell, and for himself expressed the hope that they would be able to return to England in the next vessel that left Savannah^ and he had learned from some of the naval officers whom he had seen in the city that this would be not later than three or four weeks. Mrs. Hartwell was elated with the in telligence which her husband had brought, and her face wore a more hopoful expression than at any period subsequent to the loss of her child. A week or so after Hartwell’s visit to the city Mrs. Hartwell in a conver sation with her husband informed him that she felt confident that she would after the lapse of another week be strong enough to undertake the voyage to England,and insisted that ho should visit Savannah, ami if possible ascer tain exactly when there would be an opportunity for them to leave America. Hartwell himself was of the opinion that his wife was correct in the opinion sha entertained of her ability to make the voyage, and he accordingly prom*, ised that he on the n -xt he day'would ride up to the city, learn when the next vessel would sail for England,and obtaiD permission, to avail himself of the opportunity it offered of carrying his wife back to England, where he hoped time, and a change of scene and Association would effeqt what he con|d uc/i hope to do, eilhe^sby physic or philoiojphy.
