The perusal of the animated and veracious account of the memorable Balaclava charge in last week's “London Scotsman recalled to • my mind the fact that 1 had a manuscript ly ing by me. given to me by a friend some time ago, which purports to be an account, narrated by himself, of the share taken by a certain John Payne, alias “ Butcher Jack.'’ of the 17th 1 Lancer-, in the doings of that glorious, yet mournful day. 1 have to some extent bad a confirmation of the man’s own statement from other quarters, but a:n not prepared to vouch : for its correctness in iv’.l particulars. However, if you think it worth while, you may give it quantum vatrat. The narrative appears to have been related over a pot of beer in the tap-room of a public house, and, from the conclusion ot it, it would seem that Payne received the medal for distinguished conduct on account ot his somewhat ecc entric exploit.

Our cavalry had a camp of their own upon the hillside near K idikoi, and the old • Death's-head and Cross-bones,’ to . which I belonged, were there among the rest, j forming part of the Light Brigade.

Presently we got within range of the devilish Russian battery which wa« playing right —•;ur teeth, and I saw Noland, who was a ff-n: way out to the front, galloping as if for a wager, toss up his arms, and with a wild shriek f. i! from his horse.— On, s'.ill on, we went, faster a.id faster as our horses got excited nud ..warmed to their work, heedless of the torrent of shot that came tear iug through us, and stopping forever bold rider.

Paddy Ileffernan, ot the Royal, and I managed to get as drunk as lords before we found time to wash; and one of the Commissary officers came across us while in this state, and clapped us in the guard-tent before we could say ‘Knife.’ One place was as good as another to us, so we lay there contented enough all night, taking an occasional tot out of a bottle which Paddy managed to smuggle into the tent where we were confined. It was getting on for morning before we dropped off into a heavy drunken sleep, out of which the Commander-in-Cbief himself would have had a hard job to have roused us. We must have h id a lor.g snooze, for it was broad daylight before we were awakened bv the loud thundering of a tre- open the head of an officer who was trying to rally the artillery det ichment in the rear, and then what of us were left went smack through the stragglers, cutting and slashing like fiends, right straight at the column ot cavalry drawn up behind the battery. “What happened then, say you?

By virtue of that authority the Committee have called a Convention of the Democrats and Conservatives of this State to he heid in »fie city of Atlanta on the 22il day Hu Ida’s wealth, rank, youth and beau ty naturally attracted a crowd of suitors to her father's castle, and the rival knights who contended for her hand, wore all so noble, so chivalrous, handsome, so pow- j erful, that it became a difficult matter to I decide on whom among them she was to be bestowed. Graf Heinrich was. grow-j ing old, and as he hoped to end his days j in peace, he was desirous of putting an j end to the perplexity ; n which lie found I himself, bv fixing his daughter’s destiny. [ He accordingly called her to him, and led her gently to the broad sunny terrace overlooking the majestic river which skirted Ins domains, lie there made known to her his wishes, adding that as a new crusade was on the point of calling away ail the men of valor to the scene of their former exploits, he thought it expe dient that, previous to their departure, she should make her choice of one who might return covered with glory to claim her as his bride, llulda timidly and sub missively acquiesced in her father’s de- siies, which it was not very difficult, un der the circumstances, to obey. She nourished a secret preference for a play mate of her childhood, a right noble youth, Walter V. Xlcrkensteiu, who al though her equal in rank, possessed no fortune to lay at her feet, and who had, therefore, bit her to seek distinctions which should render him worthy of com- ! peting for the treasure of his soul.

WELLBORN tent poles quiver again. 1 still felt deuced muzzy, for Commissary rum, as you would know if you ever got tight on it, is hard stuff' to get sober of; yet I managed to pull myself together enough to know where i was, and could give a shrewed guess what all the row was. I sat up with the intention of hearing more about it from some of the guard, but to my surprise there was not a soul in the tent but Paddy and myself, and there was not even a sentry upon the door. So we both got up on end and had a stretch, and then walked coolly out of the guard-tent, only to find the camp utterly deserted, uot a mau beiug appa rently It ft in it. “Turning into our own tent, we sat down, and over a refresher from the inexhaustible rum bottle, we tried, iu a boozy sort of way, to argue out the position. From where the camp was we could not see what was going on down in the valley by reason of a low ridge which intercepted the view, but we could tell it must be pretty warm work from the hot and continuous firing which was being kept ] up. At last says I to Paddy: ‘“Why the devil should we be out of the | the fun? Let’s go up to the sick horse lines, and see if there be anything left there fit to put one leg in front of another.’ ‘Agreed,’cries he, heartily enough, so I got hold of a butcher s axe lor a^-eapou, and he a sword, and, half drunk as 'Wr were, and just in the condition we had lef off killing the night before, we started off for the sick horses. But it was no go for a moment were but two brutes left, and one of them had a leg like a pillar letter-box, while the other was down on his side, and did not look much like rising again. Determined not to be beat en. we started off on foot, ani making our way round by the rear of the staff, who were on Accordingly, on the appointed night, the hospitable haroncial hall was prepared for the great event; banners hung from the cornices, the old windows sent forth their streams of light, large logs blazed and crackled on the ample hearth, and the silver flagons and tankards glittered on the sideboard, while the ta bles groaned under the ample supply of venison and boars’ beads, and roast pea cock. All tbe guests had been duly announced cheerfully, but the chances of getting back again to our side of the valley looked very j blue. The Russian cavalry were hard on our i heels, and we suffered sorely from the devilish j battery in our rear, which kept pelting into j the thick of ns, without much discrimination j between friend and foe. The guns on those forts on our left, out of which the cowardly | Turks had sneaked, and which had been j pounced upon by the Russians, were not doing - us much good neither, I assure J'ou, and it was j i for all the world like being between the devil j | and the deep sea. Soon what little formation we bad got was knocked to pieces, and then the word was ‘Every man for himself, and God help the hindmost.’ A young fellow of the 11th Hussars and myself hung together fur a while, both of us trying to make the most of our blown and jaded horses, but at last down he went, his horse shot under him and himself wounded. As the lad's busby rolled off when his head touched the ground, lie gave a look up at me which went to my heart, rough as I was. God pity him, he was little more than a hoy, and I had a mother myself once. 1 was out of the saddle in a twinkling, and had him across the holsters and myself in the seat the New York nominations being a necessity, there would be two Conventions in a short time of each other, when one can be made to answer the purpose of both.
