A. liar rison £ Cos., for "The best original contri bution",furnished their papers, during he pres ent year.) The Legend of Bathurst, BY SALLIE A. BROOK, OF VIRGINIA. The sisteranxionsat his stay, Said : “Father let me go!” and ere rejection Os her suit could come, she with a slen der taper In her hand, tripped lightly down the dusty Dusky stairs, across the snail encrusted paths, And subterranean halls, with scarcely strength To bear the fearful beating of her heart, Down to the wine-cellar. Obtruding her Small light, she cautious peered within, and forward Stepped. A deadly faintness o'er her came, She Felt the earth around her reel! Her flicker ing Light went out; aud in darkness thick as that Which guilty Egypt knew, she sank to rise no more! t The father awed at her delay, Impatient strode his broad, baronial halls, And as he raised unto his lips, a glass Os crystal water, iced, a sodden tremor Shook his strong right hand, when down there dropped and Crashed the goblet bright; at sound of which, The mother came, and palsied too, stood ter ror-mute, beside her 1 ord! ‘My sons!” he cried, "the strength Os my old age ! My daughter! sunshine of My woodland home !—Where are they ? Why come they not 1” And calling to a servant sharply bade: “Go fetch a neighbor ! Grim death is surely here! I feel it now in every nerve, that torturing Thrills my frame; —and in my hoart—All Righteous God, I am bereft!” Clasping her husband Feebly by tho knees, the mother slowly Reeled, and fainting fell into his trembling arms. Like lightning flew the sable messenger On young and sinewy steed—here there—for Many a mile around, till all the country Knew that very night, that dire distress had come To Lord of Bathurst. Friends straightway hasted There, ere morn had thrown its sunshine o'er the hills, Aid found the mother prostrate in her grief, And the proud father, like a maniac wild, Tearing the air around with furious beats And piteous cries: ‘-Hysons, my own brave boys, My daughter, fairest of all Virginia’s maids, That I, to-morrow, was to giveaway— The happiest bride Virginia ever Why come they not 1 Why come—why coma they not 1 At that day Science was not known as no’w She is,—as handmaid faithful with the key By which we may unlock the most of Nature’s Intricacies,—but one there was, a neighbor, Who, from the fathers story told in shreds, Divined the cause why they no more return ed ; And round the o!ld house prying, quickly went, - ' — And crashing out two windows, dingy with Tho mould of years—too in the wine-cellar, Toroh after torch threw down, w'hich fast as thrown Went out, nor gave a glimpse of what was there! Torch after torch was thrown, until at length A little flickering flame flashed up, and then He knew the poison fiend had fainter grown. Then swiftly round the house he came, aud down The dusky steps he went, and ladder slight, Throngh subterranean halls, into the dark some Wine-cellar; and there upon the floor, while Round were piled the casks untouched for all Eighteen years, by brothers, sister, and the Serving-man asleep in death! with scarce an Impress of the icy touch that chilled the Life-stream at its source, and froze and locked the Fountain tight, from every waiting vein. There was a bridal still at Bathurst, bnt, A bridal it was with death! Enshrouded In her satin robe, with veil of richest lace, Enwrought by fingers fair of Brussels’ girls, Lay the young bride upon the nuptial conch, With wreath of pearls upon her snow-white brow, And bracelets on her slender dimpled wrists, And pendants dropping from her shell-like ears, — Pure orient pearls that softly gleamed, and shone With all the misty splendor of the moonlight On the lake. And near her side by side—** still! Her noble brothers lay, in dress, they shonld Have to that other bridal worn, to witness Os the vows the groom might take, to cher ish Well for all of life—to love their sister, With the love that passex all else know on earth. That bridegrotn came, with rosy visions play ing Through his soul, at thought of jewel hel shonld Hide away within his heart of hearts, bnt, As he came, before him on his route was borne, Benea th a sable pall, the casket dark Which was to hold the ljght of all his life; ’ And like a mere machine when told, he cross ed The threshold, op the oaken staircase went Even to the bridal chamber, and there Upon the nuptial conch, all draperied round With curtains whs and sheer as gossamer, Lay all that was, of his own peerless love. A moment, dumb he stood, to live a century Os woe ! Then bending o’er without a single tear To cool the scorching beat that seared his eyes, He clasped her to his heart, with burning kisses On her clay-cold lips, and witli his quiveriDg haud To Heaven upraised, l.e shrieking, cried in agony : “Almighty God! though cursod and doomed to tread This earth—a desert now—alone!—alaue!— By all that’s just and good in Thee, or by The fiends that snatched her from my lon ging grasp, She shall be mine!—be mine!— my wife, in Heaven!” Then sank upon the floor like a young oak-tree Prostrate and prone in all its kingly pride, Before the lightning’s blast that rives and kills But sank to rise. A strange wild glare lit up Ilis large brown eyes, and from that fateful day, The light of reason fled liis wretched mind, And be, an old man in his youth, with hair As frosty as mid-winter’s time, went forth, Avery child. 110 wandered on for years and years, And cried aud prayed for her, and when about To fall asleep for aye, she came to lii-m With reason’s light, aud then he meekly said : “’Tis well! It seem elh hut an hour—my life— At most —though shrouded all these years in gloom Like that which twilight wraps around tho close Os day—since I can go to her; and so, With smiles aud thanks for all their care, he begjgcd His weeping friends to lay him by her side. And to return. Three full-length graves they made, And near enough to Bathurst’s eaves, that lengthening Shadows by the evening made, might always Fall across the spot* hallowed by Love and_ Death. And now beneath the eypress yew and willow, With others thickly Hanking them around, Three time-stained, crumbling stones arc seen, wit h name Os B well nigh erased : which haply At a future day, some curious, generous “Old Mortality’’—may think to clear of mould, And clear and chisel out; and witness then To my strange Btory will appear, and speak Through tho dim tracery of a hundred years, With added scores. But Bathurst joys in a good and green old age. Its form is all the same—the broad old halls— The high peaked gables and the dormer lights. The sloping roofs like shaggy eyebrows jut ting out — With mosses black and lichens grey, e ncrus ted— And towering high j above, the ancient oak-trees Stand, like sentrijes all around. Great trees, they were, Before the house was built, aud with as glad some Thrill, they catch and dally with the wanton breeze That sweeps up from the Rappahannock’s tide, As when that maiden fair, beneath them in Her guileless girlhood played. They say that ere He buried them, the father, from his cellar Drew out every cask of wine, of rare old wines, Os hospitable boast and goodly cheer, And poured them on the Bathurst lawn, a rich And sweet libation to tho manes of His children so much loved, who through them and rank In subtle death. And too, I’ve heard it, said, Within old Bathurst’s echoing halls, when Golden October time is in, aud grapes Hang mellow ripe and swoet, in purple clus ters On the vine, and out, the bright young Au tumn morn, Her silver sickle throws beside the blazing spark Os evening’s lustrous star, that revels strange Are held by spirits there. A youthful bride Flits to and fro, in satin robe and veil Os costly lace, and decked with virgin pearls Os opalescent gleam, while in her haud She holds a glass of wine; and as her eyes All beaming glow with light—and radiant Girlish joy, she beckons all around to drink Her health. But as her friends in love Stand, drinking, all, aud one with outstretch ed arms Doth run to clasp her to his waiting heart. She lifts.her hand and with a deprecation— A gentle shake of her fair pearl-crowned head, She stays his eager steps, and pointing up ward, Smiles. And then the phantom throng be gins To move. Clouds of the rainbow’s hues roll up, Instinct with light and life, and on them borne. Until they reach mid-air, those figures ride; When there —before an altar lily-decked, And lighted up with stars like those that crown The brow of clear December night—beside Which stands an ancient priest with saintly face, And oiad in snrplice like the misty white Os April snow, with halo round his head Os silvery beams—the happy nuptial vows So rudely stayed on earth are blissful, sealed. Once every year this spirit bridal scene At Bathurst re-enacts ; with music strange, \s if full, pulsing organ-chords were swept By fingers of the winds, or harps were struck By seraphs’ practiced hand", with angel choir. And then tho old place settles gently down To wonted q uiet. The yew and willow— And the dark-fringed cypress, whisper o’er The time-stained stones perhaps in gratulation. The oak-trees court the zephyrs which come wandering From the river’s lapsing waves, and laughing, Toss their hardy branches, making musie Beneath their verdant, leafy cloak, nor Ever saddened, but always with a cheerier smile 13my rustle to themselves, and sportive sing The happy consummation of the spirit loves. riMISHZD.

California Radicals are becoming dis satisfied over the nomination of Newton Booth for Governor. The Cincinnnati Commercial gives np New York to the Democracy in the pres idential election. When a man with a mother-in-law kills himself in Arkansas the coroner’s jury brings in a verdict of justifiable suicide. That ancient mariner, Capt. Maury, has ceased permanently going down to the sea, ana has cast anchor as Presi dent of the University of Alabama. New York and Brooklyn are each to have a Roman Catholic Cathedral cost ing two million of dollars. The work is progressing slowly. Beecher says he can never get np to his own ideal of preaching which is perhaps fortunate for the public. There is some talk of issuing a cheap edition of Greeley’s “What I Know About Panning” as a Democratic cam paign document. Since restrictions have been put on the sale of spirituous liquors in Massachu setts, the “Fluid Extract of Apples” has made its appearance in the market. The two main points in the new Rad ical platform of Massachusetts, are wo man suffrage and total prohibition of the liquor traffic. A weekly journal to advocate labor reform, and Ben Butler for Governor, is to be started at Boston. A correspondent of a New York paper says Joaquin Miller is tho coming poet. This is all very woll if tho correspon dent is not Joaquin. Mr. Greeley’s agricultural labors have done some good. While he has been showinging his countrymen how to cul tivate the smiling fields, he has supplied them with laughing stock. The name of the Radical candidate for Governor of Ohio is No-yes, and that is the language of the platform upon which he is placed. The Trojan newspaper war grows fierce. One editor says that he con siders a brother jouralist as “sufficiently well posted to edit a handbill.” A Sitka revenue collector faithfully seizes and sends back ale and beer ar riving in that province. He has a brew ery of his own up there—that’s why. Josh Billing says that a large policy of life insurance doesn’t exactly make a man’s corps smile at his widow, but it helps amazingly to get another fellow to do it for him. General Joseph E. Johnston is said to be looking in better health, and younger by ten years, than he did seven years ago. His constitntion has not been affected by the operation of any of tho obnoxious amendments made by a “tyrannical government.” Spinner called on the Rothschilds re cently and sent in his autograph card. The Baron, on looking at it, fainted away, thinking it aKu Klnx warning. The delay occasioned by resuscitating the old gentleman made Spinner mad, and he spun back to his lodgings in a decided pet. At a certain hotel in Ohio, a large mirror is placed at the entranco of the dining hall, which is so constructed that you see yourself a thin, cadaverous, hungry person ; bnt when you come out from the table and look again in the glass, your body is distended in the extremity of corpulency. Lieutenant Governor Dnnn (negro) and Governor Warmouth have raised a Radical unpleasantness in Louisiana. Books belonging to the Executive office have been carried off. Each claims to be Governor. The Federal officers and the United States Marshal seem to have taken sides with the Lieutenant Govern or. Grant, in his proclamation of pardon of the murderer and bigamist, Bowen, gives as one reason moving him thereto, the fact that Bowen had “rendered good service to the canse of the Union.” In so doing be differed, very materially, from the “trooly loyl” jury who convict ed the bigamist. They held that he had rendered too much service to the canse of the “Union,” if having three wives counts for anything Next Saturday night, says the Couri er* Journal, the Carpet-baggers’ end Scalawags’ State Central Polemic Soci ety of South Carolina will debate the great National question, “Does the Presi dent’s pardon of Bowen authorize that distinguished gentleman to many some more 1” Front seats reserved for ladies bringing certificates of loyalty. Mr. Akerman, Attorney General of the United States, has, at moch person al inconvenience, quit his residence in Georgia, and oome to Washington to pass a few days in the Department of Jnstice, and draw his salary on the Ist of July, as prescribed by law. As the season is unpleasant, he weald prefer not to be disturbed by whst is called public business daring bis sojoarn at the Capital; but, imitating the illustri ous example of the “Government” at Long Branch, be is willing to be “inter viewed.” to any reasonable extent, upon all subjects except his conneetion with the Confederate army, which, as a “loy al” office-holder, be now virtue)]/ la ments. Mr- Akerman will return to bis homo in a few weeks for the summer, and has made arrangements for receiv ing his pay, by which he will be spared the vexation of another visit to Wash ington before autumn.— Wash, Patriot No. IS. Heavy Defalcation in the Savannah Custom House. The Savannah Daily Advertiser of the 9th iustaut has the following : We received yesterday from our Washington correspondent, who is a gentleman of high standing and favored with peculiar facilities for procuring de partment news, the following telegram, which our subsequent investigation proved to be true is every particular. The dispatch says : “For some time past the Treasury Department has had rea son to suspect that the financial affairs of the Savannah Custom House were not in a satisfactory condition, and concluded to set a watch upon those whose posis tion enabled them to make away with the funds. Report received here con firms this suspicion, it being charged that a defalcation has been discovered amounting to eleven thousand dollars, eight thousand of which are represented by false vouchers issued to supply the deficiency, and the balance by extra charges made against merchants and vessels not authorized by law. “It is understood that a prominent par ty from Savannah is now North for the purpose of raising funds to cover the de falcation.” The last number of Harper’s Sneak ly—which, by the way, is the meauest Radical sheet in existence—exults in the fact that Jeff. Davis, Toombs, Ste phens, and other rebel leaders, do not accept the “New Democratic Depar ture,” and says that -‘All these expres sions are the signs of a deep and real feeling, dangerous to the welfare of the country, wholly confined to the Demos cratic party.” And then, in almost the next seotence, it says: “If Jeff. Davis, and Toombs, and Ste phens were all enthusiastic for the New Departure, it would be a most suspicious enthusiasm,” Now, what would this double insen sate ass or this wretched refined rogue have? If Jeff. Davis and Toombs were all “for the New Departure, it would be a most suspicious enthusiasm;” but as they are all against, “their expressions are the signs of a deep and real feeling, dangerous to the welfare of the country.’ Nothing will suit Mr. Asinns, of Har per’s Weekly. He evidently belongs to Doestick’s family, and thinks that all men—especially the Republican party— are brethren, rougish and silly as he is, and determined, somehow or other, to have Jeff. Davis and Toombs in a posi tion where they will act as scarecrows to prevent weak men from votiug the Dem ocratic ticket. Fortunately, however, the people of the North are Lcgiuning to see that Toombs, Jeff. Davis and other Southern extremists aro the real allies of the Northern Republicans, and are beginning to think for themselves upon these subjects instead of taking the penny-a liner opinions of such would-bo wiseacres and literary frauds as the wri ter in Harper’s Sneakly and other Re publican journals.— Dayton ( O.) Jour, The Suez Canal, it is asserted, is fil ling up with sand, and in confirmation of this roport a letter is printed in the Loudon Times from the captain of a screw steamer, who says that, with a draft of 17J feet forward and 204 feet aft, his steamer grounded SI times iu the canal. 'He also says that for the last 15 miles the steamer was in tow oi a tng, with two pilots in charge, and notwith standing these advantages, she grounded seven tirnos. The steamer was 72 hours in passing through the cannl. The Eng lish director of the Suez Canal, who had announced in the Times that measures had been adopted to maintain ihe canal at its present minimum depth of 26 Eng lish feet of water, replied to the letter of the captaiD, asking the name of the screw steamer which bad encountered so many difficulties iu passing through the canal, so that he might make inquiries into the affair, and prevent a recurrence of similar delays in case of other vessels. In regard to the version of the affray between Messrs. Hill and Yancey in the Confederate Senate, Mr. Stephens, in the Atlanta Sue, has this to say: “We give our readers the foregoing article, as we Bee it in several of our ex changes, but in doing so we feol con strained to state, that we have good rea sons for saying that the account therein given es any personal rencontre that may have occurred between the parties referred to, in the Confederate States Senate, is not correot. It is but a cari cature representation of the facts so far as relates to the conduct of both of the distinguished Senators. Mr. Yanoev is not in life to speak for himself, Whether Mr. Hill feels at lib erty to speak upon the subject at all, or not, we do not know. Bat in behalf of both we feel it a doty to say what we have said in relation .to the article, as it is now going the rounds of the press, and is calculated to prodace very erro neous impressions.'* A, H.
