A small English war brig, which had been fitted out for tho suppression of smugglers, was la- ally creeping along tho heavy, monot onous swells, just on the coast of Gal way, and on her deck was being enact ed a scene of somowhat more than common Intorcst. Tho day before site had captured a small boat laden with contraband articles, together with an old man and boy who had chargo of them, and the captain of tho brig, whose namo was Drncut. bad ordered that tho smuggler should be put,In irons. To this Indignity tho old man made a stout resistance, and in the heat of the moment bad so far forgot ten himself as to strike tho captain a blow which laid him upon tho deck.— Such an insult : to an English ofllcer was past endurance, and in punlshmont for this oflenco tho smuggler had been condemned to dio. A'single whip was roro at the star board fore-yard-arm,and all hands were called to witness the exooution. The ropo was noosed and slipped over the culprits head, and the running end was rove through a small snatoh-biook upon tho deck. Until this moment not a word escaped tho lips of the hoy. Ho trembled as he beheld the awful prep arations, and as',the^ fatal noose was passed and drawn, tight, tho color for sook his checks, and ha sprang forward and dropped upon his knees before the incensed captain. “ Mercy,' sir; mer cy." ‘ '*• ' ’ “ For whom 7” asked theofliccr, while a contemptuous smile rested upon his lips. 1 i "For that old man whom you'are ,about to kill.” . He dies, boy.” “ llut lie is my father, sfr.” “ No matter if he were my own fath er, that ntau who strikes an English ofllcer while in the performance of his duty, must die." " Hut he was manacled, he was in sulted, sir,” urged the hoy. “ Insulted 1” repeated tho captain.— "Who insulted hint?” “ Von did, sir,” replied tho boy, while bis face was flushed with indig nation. "Get tip, sir, and be careful that you do not receive the same treatment,” said the Captain, in a savage tone. Tho old man heartfeltis appeal of his son, nnd ns the lost words dropped FURNITURE. he exclaimed: "Ask no favors, Robert.

"Oh, yes air t a largo ship can enter there.” “ And do you know tho pnssage 7” “Yes, sir; I have spent my whole life on this coast, and I know overy turn in it.” “Could yen take tho brig in thcro in this storm 7” Yes; sir,” answered tho boy. “ And will yon do it 7” eagerly ask ed the captain. “ On two conditions.” “ Name them quickly.” "Tho first is, that you let mo go in pcaco; nnd tho next that you troublo none of tho smugglers, should they happen to be there.” “I promise,” said tho captain; "now set about your work; but, mark me, if you deceive me, by St. Georgo, I’ll shoot you on the moment I” Tho brig was soon put boforo the wind; nnd Robert Kintock stationed himself upon the starboard fore-yard- arm, from whence his orders were pass ed along totho helmsmen. The bound ing vessel soon came within sight of the Tagged crags, and the heart of ev ery man leaped with fearful thrills as tlioy swept past a frowning rook which almost grszed them us they passed.— On flew their brig, thicker nnd more fearful became the rocks, which raised their heads on every side. “Port,” shouted the boy.,: “Port it is.” “Steady—so." “Steady it is.” “Starboard—quiok." “Ay, ny—starboard it is.” “Steady—so.” “Steady, it is.” At this moment the vessel swept past an overhanging cliff, and just as a viv id flash of lightning shot through the heavens and revealed; all the horrors nround, a loud shout was heard from the pilot, and in a moment all oyes were turned upon him. lie stood up. on tho extreme end of the yard and held on by the lift.

Blair. Gen. Frank P. Blair sent n note to the Missouri delegation, Thursday, in which he leaves his namo in their bands, and submits his views upon tho questions of tile day. He says:— There is but one way to restore tho government nnd tiie constitution, and that is, for tho president elect to de clare tlto reconstruction acts null nnd void, compel tlto army to undo its usurpations at tho South, dlspursotho carpct-lmg state governments, allow the white people to recognizo their own governments, and elect senators nnd representatives. The House of Rep resentatives will contain a majority of democrats from tho North, and thoy will admit the representatives elected by the white peoplo ef tho South, and with tho cooperation of thoi-prcsidcnt it will not be diflleult to compel the Sonata to submit once more to tho ob ligations of tho constitution. It will not bo ablo to withstand tho public judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly expressed'on this fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to avoid all future strife, to put this issue plain ly to the country. I repeat that is the real and only question which we should allow to con trol us. Shall we submit'to tho Usur pations by wbiob the government has been,overthrown, or shall wo exert our selves for its full nnd complete restora tion 7 It is idle to talk of bonds, green backs, gold, the publio faith nnd the public credit. What can a democratic president do: in regard to any of thesa, with a Congress, in both branches con trolled by the carpet-baggers nnd their allies? Ho will be powerless to stop the supplies by which idle negroes nro organized into political clubs, by which an army is maintained to protect those vagabonds in their outrages on tho bal lot. These and things lika these cat up the revenues nnd resources of the government and destroy its Credit, and make the difference between gold and greenbacks. Weuiust restore the con stitution before we can restore the fi nances, and to do this we must have p president who will excoute the will of the peoplo by trampling into dust the usurpations of Congress, known ns tho reconstruction nets. I wish to stand before the convention upon this issue, but it is one Which embraces everything else that Is of vnluo in its largo and conprehcnsivo results. It is the qne thing that includes all that is worth a contest. Without it, thcro is nothing that gives dignity, honor or . vplqo to . , „ , ,, „ , 'Revenge ! revengo!” was all the the struggle, Yotir friend, m??yS8aBtt passed over.hto features, | doomed men heard, and they were swe;'7 1 Frank V, Blair. away In the boHng surge beyond. “Breakers I a reef!” screamed a man forward. “ Sturboard, H'lloK I'l But. 1 it »•«» too inte. Ere tho holm was half up, a low tremendous grating of the brig’s keel was felt, nnd the next instant came a crash which sounded high above the roar Of the eloments, and the heavy 1 mast went sweeping away to leeward; followed in a few mo ments by ia.rge masses of the ill-fated vessel's wreck and ourgo. Bltriek af ter shriek went up from those doomed men. But they were in the grasp of a power that knows no mercy. The- storm-king took them for his own. The next morning a party of wreck ers came 'dowu from the rocks and moved ulong the shore. It^was strew ed witii fragments of the wreck, and heroaud there were scattered along tho shore the bruised and mutilated bodies of the brig's crew. Among that party was Robert Kintock, end eagerly did lie search among the ghast ly corpses; as though thero was one he would have found. At length he stop ped nnd stooped over the one upon the shoulders of which were two golden epaulettes. It was tho captain of the brig—tiie murderer of his father I— The boy placed his foot upon tho pros trate 1 body, and while a strange light beamed from his eyes end a shudder passed over'his countenance, he mut tered : “Father,' you are fearfully re venged!" Ids boy spoke truly. Fearful in conception and fearful in, consumma lion, uad been that .“Pllotts Revenge.” atn ready for your sentence, and the sooner you finish it tho better." " Lay hold of the whip !" shouted the Captain. “ Lay hold, every man of you, and stand by to run tho villain up." In obedience to this order, the men ranged themselves along the deck, and each one laid lto|d of the rope. Rob ert'Kintock looked first at his father, and then he ran his eyes along the line of men who were to be Ids execution ers. Butnotonesym|jatblzingorpity- ing look could be trace. Their faces were all hard and cold, and they all appeared anxious to coiisumate their murderous work. “ Whnt!" exclaimed the boy, while a tear started from his eye, and his lips trembled, “is there not one, even, who can pity 7” “Up with him I” shouted tho Captain. Robert buried his face in his bands, nnd the next moment his father was swinging at the yard arm. He .heard the passing rope and the creaking block and he know that lie .was father less. Half on l our afterwards the boy knelt by the side of a ghastly corpse, and a Simple prayer escaped his lips. Then another low murmuring sound came up from his bosom, but none of those nround knew its import. It was a pledge of deep revenge. Just as the old man’s body, slid from the gangboard into the water, a vivid; flash of lightning streamed through! the heavens, and in another instant the dreadful artillery, of nature sent forth a roar so loud and long, Hint the men actually placed their hands to their carB to slmt out its deafening’ power. Robert Kintock started at the' sound, and what had caused dread in other bosoms; sent it thrill of satisfac tion to his own. “Oh, revenge! revenge!" he mutter, cd to minself, as lie cast his eye over tho foam-crested waves wbiolt had al ready, risen beneath tho power of'the sudden storm.. , The darkness had eonjo ns quickly as did tho storm, and all that could be distinguished .from: the deok of the brig, save tho breaking sea, wns thq fearful, craggy, shore, as Hash after flash of lightning illuminated the heavens. “Light ho!” shouted a man forward, and the next moment,all eyes wero .di rected ton bright tight which had Sud denly flashed upon the distant rooks'. The wind had now reached its height, and with:its giant power it sent the ill- fated brig directly upon the stlrf-bpand shore of rocks and reefs, and every face, save ono, was blanched with fear. In vain did they try to' lay the brig to the wind, but not a sail would hold for an instant, until at length the men managed to get up a storm-stay sail, and the brig stood for a short time flint ft wa?evident that•hould'sbosuc ceed in keeping to the wind; she woilld eventually bo driven iwhore, for the ppwer of the'insetting waves was greater than that 6f the wind.
