A Nlfftit in a Grave. It was near the close of a chilly day in November. 1834, that I arrived at St. Jeon de Luz, en route for the Cha teau de C , about twenty miles tlis'- taut, where I was to be employed ah a teacher in the household of Coftnl o’ A , a French nobleman of mtfth in fluence and wealth. Having secured lodgings at a second-rate hotel—for 1 was a young man of limited means—l repaired to the apartment assigned me and threw myself upon a dusty couch* et’e with an expectation of receiving rest before pursuing iny jotirney. This hope WjS partially realized, when I was suddenly awakened by a heavy and continued knocking at my door. I sul lenly muttered a•• Come in,” but re membering to have bolted it, I arose to open. A form stood before me, ot gi ant proportions, bis features marked with a savage expression, his garments anonymous both as to c01..r and text ure. 1 inquired his desire, when, in terrupting me, he it 1 was the person who wished to go to the Chateau de C . 1 responded in the affirm ative. lie then offered to bear me thither for a small sum, if it were ne cessart for me to reach mv destination that night. 1 assented to his proposi tion, mote through dread of bidding him begone than the benefit to be ac crued. It was not long before an old, dimin utive carriage was announced, with the identical ineoguitio as its driver. 1 hastily prepared myself for departure, without having been the happy recip ient of any quiet since my arrival at the above-named village. Previously 1 had asked the stranger if he was ac quainted with the route to be taken, to which he gave me no specific reply ; but when about to enter the cab 1 made a simi'ar inquiry, in answer to which he contemptuously flung out, “Yes. ves ; within.” I obeyed, however, with reluctance, for 1 knew not whith er I was going, nor what might be the result. Sad feelings possessed me, hut were soon dispelled, (or suffering under such physical lassitude, I sank into a peaceful slumber. 1 shortly awoke much refreshed, and saw that the moon in her lull beautv had gained mid-heaven. From this 1 knew that the driver must have been long and slow. I looked on tiie other side and saw no trace ol a human hab itation. Everything appeared desolate, though the mild light of the moon shone upon the etrtli. 1 greatly (eared this ui iu acting as my guide, and dread ed to accost bun in any manner, and believed at one time that 1 would offer him the small contents ot mv purse, but thought possibly 1 might be wrong in thus conjecturing doubts and fears, and that l should willingly place my self in his power. At length, project ing my head out of the window, I saw in the distance what appeared to be the while walls of a park of shrubbery. I beheld trees rising here and there, but no signs of a dwelling. Presently stopped, and I saw a up to the door lie said : “You must alight here.” “Here,” l exclaimed, “in this sterile place !” “Do as commanded,” he said. ••I shall do nothing of the kind,” 1 replied, “You agreed to lake me to the Chateau of C , and 1 shall not alight until you have luliilied the agreement.” “ Phis folly is absurd,” he answered ; “listen to what I say. We are many miles from JSt. Jean tie Luz, and Irom any habitation. None but deathless spirits can answer to your shrieks.— This is the door ol a cemetery, and unless you alight instantly anti deliver to me your purse, 1 will add a lifeless body to these sacred precincts.” This cold-blooded detet minalion curdled my who e iraiue. For some moments my tongue clove lolhe roof ol my mouth. I was astonished to find in a mail of such frightful mien words which would have well expressed the noblest purpose. Not a hope present ed itself. 1 was at the mercy ol a mur derer. and there remained nothing but to submit. 1 prayed and sued bis mer cy, and offered bun half my worldly possessions, all if he would spare mv lile ard lake me back. But no terms of reconciliation would suffice. Self reproaches rushed over my mind and ; mingled with mv fears. Why was i blind—so foolish as to accompany the man ? Why did 1 sul ler my want of courage to prevent me from declining his offer, instead of com mitting mysell to this suspicious-look ing man! ••Oh, heaven!” I cried, within my self, “help me!” Becoming impatient at mv lung si lence, which was the silence of despair, he roughly seized me by the arm and dragged rae from the carriage. Not a found was to be beard. All the great, great solitude was echoless and void. 1 uttered a long, piercing cry, as he flung me on the frozen earth ami bade me deliver my purse. A desire to make myself known overcame me. 1 repeated my shrieks, which he tried to stifle by placing his hand over my mouth. ’Phis inspired me with new strength, and I rose to my feet and fled from him: The door of the cem etery was open, and l rushed in, close ly pursued by my foe. The moon had been disappearing behind a heavy heap of what seemed snow-clouds, and now she utterly de serted me at this critical moment, for J stumbled every instant against a mound or a tombstone. I traversed witli pre ternatural celerity those habitations of the dead. But soon his heavy hand again seiz* ed rae bv the shoulder, anu dragged me back. My despair lent me strength. We closed and struggled. I forgot his superior power, and resolved to resist death to the last. On hi* bieast he wore a small piece ol gold, on which was engraved many familiar devices in Greek, in addition to his oalne, With out any object in view but that of avenging myself, I seized firmly hold ol it, and in the struggle I lore it:off. bis circumstance he did not at that tune notice, but, in spite of my resist- ance, he muttered between his teeth a successful issue to the combat ; and, as I sank, almost exhausted, on the ground in that lonely place, 1 heard my antag onist clasp his knife. With a startled bound 1 was again on my feet, anil extricated myself from bis hands ; then followed the for life-. 1 flew, raiher than ran. with tire piece ol gold in my hand. 1 had no scruples where 1 trod. Now I went straight before him ; now evading Ins gia-p by passing in and out the graves ; heard liis rurses as I avoided him. Tiie dark - ness was deepening, and all the hor rors of my position seemed to increase. Nothing vvas left me but to succumb to my late and suffer the pursuing vil lain to take the life he sought. Every earthly interest lost its attractions in these moments of despair. I felt my knees tailing, my step slackened in speed ; a dizziness came over me, and the consciousness that he was dose behind me became a certainty, when, suddenly, a lalsestep on my part pre cipitated me into a newly-dug grave ol great depth. I experienced a shock, and the pain I suffered was acute. I believed my self injured to such an extent that my life would be despaired of, but held mv peace. In the midst of this terrible torture of mind and body, 1 listened with a kind of savage joy, mingled with fear, to the oaths ot my seeker, as stum bling at every step, lie went about from spot to spot, calling me to leave my providential covert, for he had intended no harm. The sound of his receding footsteps became fainter and fainter, and 1 re joiced ihat, tired of the chase, he had left me. In a few moments 1 heard the sound of wheels proceeding rapidly in me direction we had come, and with feel ings akin to happiness, l felt mysell. alone. How long I continued to lis ten to the retreating wheels I know not ; but at length the sound ceased. All was still as death. Then amid the hushed silence, arose a sound like that ol a man's feet among the grass. I lull that he was near. He was searching low on the ground. 1 even heard breathing above me. I was then impressed that he was seeking the piece ol gold which I had severed Irom him, and I listened with exulting tri umph to his protracted and fruitless search. Ai length, he likewise became a vie lim to despair. He rose Creel, and stood quite still, to deled, if possible, the slightest movement in that deathly inclosure. Then at first slow and unhesitatingly, he spoke. He altern ately made use now of threats, now ol persuasions. Sometimes, with tremu lous voice, he besought me to discover m) self, but I heard even his sobs with relentless stoicism. As I crouched there, what unbidden thoughts of eternity filled my soul. Never did the future present itself with such force to mv hall crazed mind as when Imling from the revengeful eru> l iiule place. ITeaTh was, apparently', my companion. I fell bis icy presence around. With in a few yards, pel baps a lew leet ol me, the marrow less bones and decaying forms ot many ghastly corpses were moldering away at every stroke of time, until, in the process, they beeame blended utterly with the mother earth. 1 pictured to mysell every lior ror attending death, fiom the moment when the shrouded body feels the first touch ol its primitive element to the last, when all traces, save a few bleach ed bones, is lost of ilie image once moving among men, made glorious by tlie immortal soul, but now shrunken to an atom by the withdrawal ol the pervading and sustaining essence of life. The benumbing cold of the air, the dark atmosphere, the offensive efflu via ol the mold, did not conspire to raise mv spirits. A pang ol acute pain sent a thrill through my Irame. At length I heard the retreating footsteps of my pursuer, as he gioped about the cemetery in search ol his concealed victim, became fainter and more faint until 1 lost them in the darkness. I suspected he was lying in wait for me somewhere, hoping to hill me in se curity by bis absence. But a strange sensation that I never before experien ced possessed me. A contusion ol thoughts rushed simultaneously over my brain. My past career swain be • lore me in uneasy motion. At one mn menl, a certain event re appeared as another effaced it, and it sank in the great ocean of remembrance. My lather, mother and sister s'ooil around me. I gazed up into heaven; I lan ded it brilliantly illuminated. Then a mist Bedimmed mv sight, and I knew no more what happened thereafter. When l awoke to conciousntss, 1 saw myself borne along as dead, by several persons, who were carrying me up what appeared the avenue leading to a mansion. I was concious of in tense pain, which resulted, as was after wards proved, by a severely sprained ankle, and 1 immediately sank into a swoon. When again restored to con - ciousness I lour.d mysell on a bed, with an attentive nurse tending my wants. My ankle was comparatively free from pain ; and vvas informed that some laborers in going to the cemetery to complete a grave had foilnd me. ThtTChateau de C—was the nearest house, and I was borne thither, where, through the skill and assiduity of an eminent physician, called by the Count tl’A—, 1 vvas soon in the chair of con valescence. The person who had been engaged as my guide happened to have been a classmate of mine in college, who had taken umbrage at a trivial incident which oceured to his disadvantage. 1 refused to aid in bringing one of my fraternity to justice, and the piece of gold bearing bis name 1 still possess. He was, however, exiled from France to expiate for a multitude of crimes which he had committed. In en deavoring to satiate the gnawings of re venge which vvas his first deviation, he became the propagator of iniquity, Keep not, nor covet, what is not your own. SAM’L H.

Wofford. • Sensible Conduct, On the occasion of the recent elec tion for United Stales Senators, the Atlanta Constitution informs us that Costin, a negro member of thp House, having displayed more patriotism than many of the while nit mbers of his par ty are capable of, deserves special mention. Having voted first foi Blodg ett, before the result ot the ballot was announced, lie rose in his seat, and asked permission to change his vote to Miller, stating that he did not represent any party, anil that it was his wish to serve the best interest of the State.— The movement on the part of Costin induced others in like -manner to change their votes. The country will approve the act, and Costin may rest assured that he has done a noble deed for Geor gia, which her people will remember, Aaron Alpcoria Bradley. As will be seen by reference to our reported proceedings of the Senate of Georgia, says the Atlanta Intelligencer , of the 12th instatit, the ruling of the President vvas sustained bv the mem bers, and Btadley, the negro permitted to resign. The vote and facts are all published in this case, and we will not take it upon ourselves to impugn the motives of any member voting to sus tain the Chair, 'i'llis he had a clear right to do if he thought it his duty ; but it does seem strange to see men who were elected by white constituents voting to sustain a measure that ex cludes a white man from a seat for the purpose ol holding it open for a negro. According to the laws under the Con stitution Mr. Lester is clearly entitled to the seat, but he must now give way under this ruling for a negro. Arrest. 'i lie Dalilonega Signal, of Aug. 7th, says : “ P. H. Woodward. Mail Agent, arrived in Dahlonega, on Saturday last, and proceeded at once to arrest W. H. Price, Post Master, charged with ab stracting certain checks from the office at this place. Price paid up the value ol the checks and vvas released. The community generally think that the Agent erred on the side of mercy.— Owing to the number of complaints that were springing up all around, ami fearing that he would again be “knab bed,” Price left at the hour “when ail honest men were supposed to be in bed.” From the amount of money missing, there is no doubt that he had made his speculations profitable.” THE NEWS.

A Bill has been introduced in the Legislature providing for the election .i -\ixnisia. in lieu id the present inefficient Mayor, Bloogeit, and his confreres the Aldermen, who held office by Military appointment. It provides that the election shall take place on the 2d September, ensuing, in the manner established by the laws and ordinance* of the city, the officers then elected to continue in office untill the regular annual election in April, 1869. Affairs In Tennessee. “Brownlovv's regions, not inaptly compared to the lower regions,” says the Kentucky Gazette, “are in a con dition very near that of open and actu al cival war. Their condition is just that which ours vviil be, if Grant is elected, which, thank God, he will not be. The oppressions of the old Beel zebub of Tennessee have become so intolerable, that white men cannot en dure them any longer, anil prefer an open, violent, and internecine civil war to their present condition of servi tude and suffering. They have come to the condition referred to in the Dec laration of Independence, when rt volu tion is justifiable. It General Thomas, Brownlovv’s right bower in all bis dir ty business, will kei p still, the white people of Tennessee will regain their lost liberties.” Election of State-house Offi cer's nn<l Priiiter. The following is the vote for public officers by the Georgia Legislature on the 6th instant :—On the first ballot lor Secretary of State, D. G. Cutting received 102 votes ; N. C. Barnet, 90 ; T. A. Swearingen, 2. Colling was declared elected. For Comptroller General, Madison Bell received 102 votes; Feterson Thweatt, 90. Bell vvas declared elected. For State Treasurer N. L. Anger received 101 votes; Williams, 92. Anger vvas declared elected. For public printer. Dr. Sam Bart) of the Atlanta New Era, Radical organ, received 99 votes ; J. W. Burke, 93, and VV. A. Read, I. Bard was declared elected. This wholesale Radical success vvas occasioned by the absence of thirteen Democrats from the city. They were on board a train of ears that broke down about the lime the election came off’. ,»if“The New York News thus concludes an elaborate examination into the election probabilities ; “After this survey of the whole field, we say in all candor, that vve believe Gen. Grant cannot possibly get one hundred electoral voles, and we doubt whethei he will got seventy-live.” So. Carolina Democratic elec toral Contention. The Democratic Electoral Conven tion licit! in Columbia on the 9th inst. has adjourned. Every district of the State, thirty-one in number, was rep resented by the ablest public men. On motion ol Gjeit. Hampton, Cap'. Vfedary, Nice President of the -Soldiers’ anil Sailors’ Convention, was invited nit the platlonn midst applause. On motion of Juilsre Aldrich, a reso lution of thanks in the name of the Democrats of South Carolina, was ex tenJled to the delegations, North, East and West. Other resolutions endorse the plat form and express gratitude to Andrew .Johnson, and return thanks to the citi zens, soldiers and sailors North, who raised their voice in behalf, of insulted and outraged treedohi, On motion of Gen. Hampton, it was resolved that while entering a protest against the Radical reconstruction acts, we rely confidently on constitutional agencies am! peaceful measures alone, to bring us the relief sought anil re forms needl'd. The proceedings were exceedingly harmonious. SST’Tlie Columbus Enquirer lias the following from Stewart county, under date of the 3d instant : “Material changes have occurred, not only in Atlanta, but in this section. What lew Rads we had down here are trying to get over on the Seymour sidq of the question. My opinion is that soon Mr. Grant will not have in Stew* art one white man to rally under his banner. We say but little, but you will always find us wide awake: and when the votes of this county are handed in, they will cry aloud lor .SVy mour and Blair with an overwhelming majority.” fifegr Alexander H. Stephens, in a letter received here to-day, says the Nashville Banner, says : “I never sent any resolutions to the New York Convention, and do not even know the gentleman, Wright, who presented them.” He says that Georgia will give 20,000 Democratic majority. Comptroller Gen. Neagle.—Affi davits published in the newspapers of South Carolina, prove Comptroller General Neagle to be a forger. Lead ing Radicals say that the safety of the party demands that he shall either dis prove the publishers’ evidence against him, or resign. ex-Governor Joe Brown i»na utcii ucjcaicu iui trie u imeu orates Senate, and for Chief Justice of the Georgia State Court, the Cincinnati Gaft tie invites him to “take a back seat in the work of-reconstruction.” It would be charity to hanJ Joseph a sorghum stalk to stick as he stands hungering in vain at the back-side of the Radical party. [communicated.] Our Situation. Mr. Editor, I trust you will pardon this, the first intrusion of my humble pen upon the columns of your worthy journal. But I cannot help feeling that this is a time, if ever there was one in the history of our country, when all those who feel and think correctly upon the subject of our Political Situation, should speak out for the benefit of their suffering country. The people of the South have undergone a great political change within the last few years. We have just entered upon anew era in the annals of our historv. JVe have just emerged from the throes ol one of the mightiest revolutions known to the history of the world. The clash of re sounding arms has been hushed by the voice of peace. The dreadful effusion of blood has been stopped by the heal ing balm of reason. Military excitp ment has vanished, and made room for the less arbitrary rule of politics. Mar tial law with its oppressive yoke, has surrendered its harsh jurisdiction to the human justice and purity of the civil tribunals, and once more, in the lan guage of the great Jefferson, “Reason has been left free to combat error.” But it must not be combatted with fire and sword, but with Truth. While it is very true that the ravages of the late civil war left the people of the South in greatly reduced circum stances politically, religiously, pecuni arily and domestically, there are, not withstanding all this, many wise and valuable lessons to be found in the very ebaos of our losses, which will be highly beneficial to the people, if they will only consent to lear them. There has been a time when the people of this country had no other guide to their home politics, than the silent and dry reasonings of the histories of oilier na tions ; but now, we have the yet echo ing sound of the cannon to speak, writ ten down in the blood of countless pa triots, to tell us of the past history of our own Government. The tollies of our own past political history have been plainly opened up to our tyes; and can the most radical in politics fail to discern the evil effects of those fol lies ? And will it not be still greater folly In persist in the practice of these old follies ? Reason answers, yes! now that she is left free to see it. What should he the guide of eveiy pub lic man, who desires the restoration of peace and prosperity, law and order, to our unhappy country, in the coining Presidential election? Are we to ac complish this great end by the employ ment of abusive language, and by reek ing the dagger ot our hatred against tin* enemies to ibis great and noble princi ple, in the contest ! By no means. The very reverse of this Course is re quired. Who is so ignorant of human nature as not to know the hellish effects of abuse ? Nothing is to be gained by it, but everything to lose, It we throw away cur time by abusing our enemies, who will elect Seymour and Blair?— W here will we be next November? Phe contest for the Presidency will be the closest one known to our history, and nothing but the greatest wisdom and caution, exercised upon our part, will elect Seymour , and Blair. Then let calmness and wisdom characterize the speeches of all ottr public men, and the columns of all our newspapers. — Let vituperation and abuse cease forev er. Let political prejudice be buried and forgotten at once. Let the mad ravings of political demagogues, of all parties, grades, shades, and colors, be discountenanced and unheard. Let the vile pratiugs of “cowards” be regarded with silent contempt by all true patri ots, ami such troublesome political pests will soon cease to be dangerous to the country. Let foolish excitement be superceded by calm thought and reason. Let patriotism win the victory and carry away the prize, by the un failing tactics of justice, at the ballot box. Let not the experience taught us by the war be lost in wandering from our duly. Let everybody resolve to art with discretion and reason, and strive to do right. The whole subject of our polit ical situation reduces itself down to one simple question. It is this:— Shall we act calmly and conservatively, and be Freemen ; or shall we act mad ly and radically, and be slaves? Let every man in Georgia, and in the whole South, think seriously, ask himself tile question, and conscientiously answer it. LEX. Tribute of Respect. Whereas, God, in his infinite wis dom, has removed from our midst our beloved school-mate Sophia Stubbs, who, but one short week since sported in the grove happy, in the enjoyment of health : Therefore be it Resolved, That while we deeply sympathize with her bereaved relatives and friends, in their irreparable loss, we would bid them remember that their beloved sister and friend has reached that bourne where there is no pain, no agony, r.o anguish now. Resolved, That while we sincerely lament the loss of our beloved young friend and school-mate, we humbly bow before the decrees of our Heaven ly Father, and do not mourn as those who have no hope, but trust that we may so live that we may meet her again where “The wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.” Young, beautiful, and endowed with all that makes lilg desirable and attrac tive, she lias been suddenly removed to another and better world. The Angels knew their sister on earth, and she has* gone to join their company in Heaven. Resolved, That a copy of this trib ute be furnished the bereaved family of our departed school-mate, and also be put upon the records of our school. M. D. Vincent, J. I. Dysart, M. P. McCanless, Com. for Pine Log Masonic Inst. From the Atlanta Constitution. Tribute us Respect to the L.aic Prof. W. P. Howard. Atlania, August 5, 1868. At a meeting of the Faculty and stu dents of the Atlanta Classical College, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted : The decrees of Providence are in scrutable and llis ways past finding out. A few weeks since we parted with our friend and colleague W. P. Howard, ile was lull of health and hope; of activity and energy. His prospects for a long, useful and happy fife were bright and fair. In his do mestic and social relations he possessed all that could be desired. As an ac quaintance he was intelligent ; as a citi zen he was generous; as a companion lie was genial ; as a friend he was full of sympathy; as a gentleman he was high-toned and honorable. He pos sessed in an eminent degree the faculty of deriving pleasure from others, and of imparting to them. In our intercourse with him we saw much to imitate, much to admire and but little to con demn. His faults, if faults they were, resu ted from the warmth of his emo tions and the generosity of his disposi tion. But, with all his excellencies, men tal, moral and social, he has gone. We can no longer be cheered by his pres ence, enlivened by his wit, or encour aged by his counsel. If the loss of such a friend weighs heavily upon us, how crushingly must it fall upon his bereaved family and kindred ! To the God of the widow and the Father of the friendless, we, commit and commend them. May the arms of His everlasting love be under neath to comfort and sustain them. Resolved 1. As the fellow-teacher ol Professor VV. P. Howard, we deeply deplore the loss of our colleague. 2d. In his death his family and the community have sustained a loss that will be long and sorelv felt. 3d. Asa faculty we will attend the funeral and wear the usual badge ol mourning for ten da\ s. 4lh. That a copy of the above pre amide and resolutions lie transmitted to his wile, and furnished the city pa pers for publication. T. F. Montgomery, Secretary of Faculty, pro tern. We the students ol tlie Atlanta Clas sical College cordially concur in the above deliverance ol the Faculty, ami as Prof. 11. was a teacher whom we sincerely respected, and a man we highly esteemed, we fetl it a melan choly privilege to unite with our teach ers in attending his funeral and in wear ing the usual badge of sorrow. As Prof. 11. was an honorary mem ber of both our literary societies, we will devote a blank page in our records for inscribing a biographical sketch to his memory. Mary V.

My physician—one of the best in this part of therountry— exhausted all ills ski 1 and the .Valeria Medico to ex pel the worms, and entirely failed to bring any. I thought “Suhn bull ’could do It, and gave the child the contents of three boxes, in triple doaei, night and morning, with happy results. The child has not had a spasm for over three month*, and instead of Ihs bloated mags that h« was, he Is now well and hearty. “John Bull did it.’ Yours, truly, M L DUPLAN.

He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, If the directions art strict ly followed and ca rled out. In a great many cases a single dose has oeen sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general heatth.
