It was towards night on the 21st ol . September, 1834. A small English war 1 brig, which had been fitted out fur the I suppi i ssion of smugglers, was lazily I creeping along over the heavy, mnrioto ; nous swells, just on the coast of Galway | and on her dock was being enacted a scene of .somewhat more than common interest. The day before she had captu red a small boat laden with contraband articles together with an old man arid hoy who had charge of ll cm and the captain of the brig whose name was Dra cut had ordered that the smugglers should lie put in irons. To this indigni ty, the old man made a stout resistance and in the heat of the moment had so far forgotten himself as to strike the captain a blow which laid him on the deck. Such an insult to an English offi cer wus past emlmanee, and in punish ment for this offence the smuggle! had j been condemned to die. A single whip was rove at the star board fore\ ard arm, and all hands were j j called to witness the execution The! | rope was noosed and slipped over the I culprit’s head and the running end was j ! rove through a small snath block up n j 1 the deck. Until this moment not. a word j • scaped the lips of the boy. He trem-j bled as he beheld the awful preparations] and as the fatal noose was passed and drawn tight, the color foorsook his .cheeks and he sprang forward and drop ped upon his knees before the incensed I captain. ‘Mercy, sir; mercy.’ ldr whom V asked the officer, while a contemptuous smile rested upon his lips. ‘For that old man whom you are about to kill.’ ‘lie dies, boy.’ ‘But he is my father sir.’ ‘No matter if he were my own father, that man who strikes an English officer while in the performance of his duty mns die.’ ‘But he was manacled, he was insul ted, sir,’ urged the boy. ‘lnsulted!’ repeated the captain. ‘Who insulted him?’ ‘Vou did, sir,’ replied the hoy, while his face was iltmhcd with indignation. ‘(Jet rip, sir and be careful that you do not r< eive (nr same treatment,’ said the Captain, in a savage tone. The old man heard this appeal of his son and as the last words dropped fiom the lips of his captor, he raised his head, and while a look of the utmost defiance passed over liis features, he exclaimed : ‘Ask no favors, Robert. Old Karl Kin leek can die now as well as at anytime, let them do their worst.’ Then turning to Captain Dracut, he changed his tone for one of deep suppli cation. ami aid : ‘Do what you please with me sir, but do not harm my hoy, for he has done no wrong: lam ready for your sentence, and the sooner you finish it the better.’ ‘Lay hold of the whip !' shouted the Captain. ‘Lay hold, every man of you, and stand by to run the villia.ii up.’ In obedience to this order, the men ranged themselves along the deck, and each one Ja id hold of the rope. Robert Kin toe Ic looked first at his father and! then he fan his eyes along tire line of men j who were to he liis executioners. But not ] one sympath zng or pitying !o ko nil lie trace. Then laces were all hard and ! cold, and they all appeared anxious to! coiiMiniale their murderous work. ‘What I’exclaimed the boy, while ai tear startled from his eye, and his lips trembled, ‘is there not one, even, who : can pity V | ‘Up with him!’ shunted the Captain. , Robert hurled liis face in his hands, ’ and the next moment his father was i swingi tg at the yard arm, lie heard the j passing rope and the creaking block and , he knew that he was fatherless. Half an hour afterwards the boy knelt by the side of a ghastly Corpse and a ] simple prayer escaped his lips. Then i anothei low murmuring sound came up ] f|-c,n> Iris bosom, but none of those a - round knew its import. It was a pledge ! of deep revenge. ; Juri as the old man’s body slid from I (he gangboard into the water, a .rival j flavor lightnii, •; streamed through the j | heavens and in another instant the .Reed 1 I ful artillery of nature sent forth a rmir Iso loud and long that the men actually ! placed their hands to their ears to shut j out its deafening power. Robert Kin j el: started at the sound, and what had ! caused dread in other bosoms, cent a i thrill of satisfaction to hi. own. ‘Oh, revenge ! revenge !’ he muttered to himself as he east his eye over the foam-created waves which had already risen beneath the power of the sudden g orrn. The darkness had come as quickly as did the storm, and all that could he dis- I tinguished from the deck of the brig 1 save the breaking sea, was the fear ful craggy ’shore, as flash after I flash of lightning illuminated the heav i CM'- ‘Light ho !’ shouted a man forward, \ arid the next moment all eyes wercdirec j ted to a bright light which had sudden : !v flashed upon tlic distant rocks. The wind had now reached its height, and with its giant power it scut the ill fated brig directly upon the surf-bound shore of rocks and reefs and every face save one was blanched with fear. In 1 vain did they try to lay the brig to the HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE’S RI3KXS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY PEAR AND ONBKIBED BY GAIN.

But it. was eviden that should she succeed in keeping to the wind, she would eventually he driv en ashore, for the power of the insetting waves was greater than that of the wind. ‘Boy, do you know what that light is?’ asked the captain, r.s he stood holding on to the ma n rigging to keep his feet •Yes, sir,’said Robert, ’it is Bully more’s Crag.’ ‘What is it, there for?’ ‘it marks the entrance to a little har bor, sir, which lies in buck of it.’ ‘And call it be entered by a vessel of this size V asked- the captain as a gleam of hope shot across Iris face. ‘Oh yes sir ! a large ship can enter there.’ ‘.And do you know tiro passage ?’ ‘Yes, sir ; 1 have spent my whole life on this coast, and .1 know every turn in it.’ ‘Could you take the brig in there in this storm V ‘Yes sir,” answered the boy. | ‘And will you do it ?’ eagerly asked ] the captain. I ‘On two conditions.’ ‘Name them quickly. ‘The first is that yon let mo go in peace ; and the next than you trouble noi e of the smugglers, should they hap pen to he there.” T promise,’ said the captain ; ‘now set about your work ; but mark me, if yon deceive me, by St. George, I’ll shoot you on the moment !’ The brig was soon put before the wind and Robert Kintock stationed himself upon the starboard fore yard arm, from whence bis orders were passed along to the helmsmen. The bounding vessel soon came within eight of the ragged crags, and the heart of every mail leaped with fearful thrills as they swept past a frown ing rock which almost grazed them as they passed. On flew their brig, thicker ami more fearful became the rocks, which raised their heads on every side. Tort’ shouted the hoy. ‘Port it is.’ ‘Steady—so.’ ‘Steady it is.’ ‘Starhoard-- quick.’ ‘Av ay—starboard it is,’ ‘Steady—so.’ ‘Steady, it is.’ At this moment the vessel swept past an overhanging cliff", and just as a vivid flash of lightning shot through the heav ens and revealed all the horrors around, a lend shout was heard from the pilot, and in a moment all eyes were turned noon him. He stood upon the extreme errd of the yard and held on by the lilt. In a moment more lie crouched down like a tiger after after his prey, and then with one leap reached the projecting rock. ‘Revenge ! revenge!’ war* J the doom ed men heard and they weft: swept away in the boiling surge beyond. ‘Breakers Ia reel"!’ screamed a man forward. ‘Starboard, quick !’ But it was too late.

During the night of the MO ill ol' ; March, George V r . Ashhtirn was assassin ] ated i. { i low negro brothel in Co'mill us, Ga, On the (bh day of April thirteen citizens were arrested by Oapt, Mills of the United Stales Army. On the 10th they were released under bond; four of] this number have never been reni-rested. ] The man Mills stated that ho did not know the charge against the party ar rosn and but, no one believed him, and the fact is only mentioned to show the char acter of the p'oreedings. On the lttli of May four arrests were mads, on the 21th four, on the 2.1 of dune four more, on the 16th seven, followed the next day by two others. On the 2-fth another, when the last a net ociured. Thao ar rests were made by the order of Gen. Meade. Uev: ral of the undersigned have in their possession written orders which show this fact. The arrests were made without warrant, affidavit or charge.— No preliminary examination was held.- We were kept in total ignorance of the r.r par evidence against us, and the mimes of our licensers were concealed from us. No one has followed the trial will he surprised at this apparent neg lect. While we were clamoring for the char ges against us, .100. Brown, Whirlev, Major Smyth and others were, suborning Belts, Mail-hull, Bonnet anil Amanda Fatter.ioii. The evidence for the prosecu tion acknowledges that disclosures were made under threats of imprisonment.— This is had enough, but a worse feature is that the date of these disclosures is placed by the witnesses' tlieniHelves sub sequent to the arrest ol a majority of the prisoners. The question naturally aris es upon what foundation were tho arrests based? Os the twenty two persons ar rested on and since tho Ifilh of May, four were suborned by torture, bribery and threats. Nine, after confinement in (■■■lon’ cells and much ' suffering, were ii lea e.l xnthn::;,. " explanation what dver. Tho remaining nine are the sign ers of thin card. The prisoners arrested in 'fay Were at Fort I’nlaski before they were removed to Atlanta. Their cells were as dark, as dangerous, without; ventilation, and tint 4 feet b.v 7. No bed m blankets were iiii-iii lied. The ratioim consisted of a slice of fat. pork three times eaeli week, and beef too unsound to eat the remain ing days. A piece of bread for each meal, soup for dinner and coffee for hr-aklast, finished tho bill of faro. An old oyster can way given each prisoner, and in this vessel hath coffee and Soup v.c.-e served, ll may be said that the • iriim-s .received nothing better, lmt. It,, - rifi/.'-im were not soldiers, and their friend* were able, willing and anx ious to give them every comfort,: they were de:ri. and the privilege. Refused all e uniiiiuiicxtion with their friends rela tive.. r counsel, they were forced to live in tin s i horrid cells night ami day, pros- Uated 1 - heat, rml maddened by myri ads of r.o i((it. The-calls;’t.The-calls of nature were at,, , .fed to in a bucket, which was removed but once in twenty four hours At 'icßliersons Barracks we were placed in cells five feet eleven Inches wide bv ten feet long. These cells were uflc.-wards divided, reducing tie-;,- width in two feet ten inches. This is U n-iiile, hut triu).

Even af ter ibis, oar letters, brer,thing the affec tion and i v.apathy of a wife or n.otho', we;o • iilrieet. La inspection, 'file priso sis . was immediately at onr cell d,,..;s and emitted a stench that was ; horrible. At times when some humane roldicr ' was willing to transcend his order and give us a breath of I real) air to soothe | our dl-riended Lu;.;l, ,g veins, we would ; LI)-.: to 1 lose the door, preferring to - ri.;:: suffocation rather tliau endure the intolerable smell. baring .'FI this time we were ignorant of the charges against us. Os course, we accepted the common rumor that our arrest grew out of the murder of A sh im rn ; but after our counsel was permit ted (o visit US, no definite lino of defense could be planed, in the absence of all specifications. Wo were furnished with a copy of the charges against us on the 27th of June, our trial having been set for 29th. The intei veiling day was Sun- ] day, and we were 140 miles from the: scene of tho murder and the residence of our witnesses. Several of the undersigned never saw ] the detective Whith-y until weeks after j their arrest.. Win n they did meet him he never presumed to treat them with ! disrespect- Recent developments, new to ns, have shown him to he infamous, and Iris ireat i ment ol suborned witnesses will be pro- ven by those who know the facts. Our friends and the press have not exagger ated the barbarity with which wo were treated, but. they sli filil not throw the responsibility upon a contemptible de tective, who would only glory in the no toriely his infamy would have given him. We fly tor higher game. Gen. -Meade told (ion. R. 11. Chi ton (during , Hie war General Lee’s Adjutant,) upon the eve of liis departure from Atlanta, that he had left lull instructions with Gen. SI o by, concerning the disposition ot the Ouliiinlms prisoners. These in structions controlled onr treatment, and leave no issue as to the question of re sponsibility. I At the proper time, and in a manner i that will not intrude upon your valuable space, we will make good our position, j and will show conclusively that this u i paraljed persecution was at tempted sole ly and entirely for political purposes. The officers and soldiers ot the garri son were as kind as their orders would permit, and respectful, with but. few ex ceptions. Gen Dunn’s courtesy during the trial, especially after Dukes’ alibi, was in strong contrast with tho vindic tive, ungenerous and unmanly conduct of .100 Brown. Os the able and efforts of our counsel, we cannot Speak in too high praise. To iho people of Georgia, and especially to our good friends in Atlanta, we return our sincere thanks tor their sympathy and assistance. W. I). OniM.EY, C, (J. Beoeu,, R. A. Wood, E.

The midnight assassin, who stealthily breaks iu upon the sanctities of the private home of a family, and thrusts his stilletto into the heart of slumbering in nocence, is no greater villain than he who assaults his neighbor’s good name —invades the hallowed courts of the temple of Ids well deserved and harden ed fame— hrealhles blight and mildew upon liis spotless reputation—and leaves in Iris tortuous track, the slime and ven om of the basilisk. The sentiment has been most truthful ly and graphically enunciated, that, he w io can choke tho sweetest. II overs ol social love and taint them with disease —and in the paradise of earthly bliss, where the plants of virtue flourish spread the malaria of moral desolation—the poi son of hatred and distrust—who gladly would were it possible crush his neigh bors character to dust- grin I to powder every vestage of his public honor and private value and build upon the ruins who can write infamy upon the hroiv of olliera to prove his own purity—is neither man nor beast but a heartless demon. Thr.se who have- seen their dearest interests tampered with—who have known what it is to have the priceless gem of a good name sallied by the pes tilential breath of cold unpiltying slan der—those best can say, the calumniator lias no heart—no conscience—no soul ! If the lightning’s flash ever darts from heaven to strike the gaily down it will blast the hopes of murderers such as these Bad as is the vile defamor of the liv ing—yet far worse, is he who exhumes from the peaceful shadows ol death, the departed victim of his envy, to hold him up to the gaze of the world as a target at which t/i hurl the pestiferous shaft of his malignant hate. In such a monster there is to he found no trace of the image of God; but in room of this is seen every appalling and dis gusting lineament of the arch-fiend of perdition.— 'lF". X. Fuller, F.r.

Quaker Broker mill (lie Doubloon. The Quakers were once, moie than at present a power in the commercial World in New York. They were an honest, in dustrious and extremely shrewd race of nicrvhahts not devoid of humor and stir— sarcasm., and, though religious non-com batants not in the least disposed to al low themselves to be the victims of roguery. One of this fraternity—-a dealer in spe eie and exchange, and a large purchaser of gold coin, one day left his counting house in haste and crossed the street t' r accost a friend, lie had just farchasecl a quantity of doubloons which he had omitted to lock up in his safe. The office was empty. When the old Quaker re turned the room was in the same condi tion—no one was iu it—but one of th* I ags of doubloons was missing. The Quaker now locked up the other, and opened not his month on the subject of the loss, days missed, and weeks, but no reward was offered no policeman were set on the track of the thief—the old Quaker stood his loss like a statute. Two or three months afterward his neigh bor a small mercantile man happened to be in his counting room conversing on the topics of the day. Suddenly turning to the Quaker he inquired,— ‘J!y the way, Mr. , did you ever hear anything of the bag of doubloons you lost V Up started tbe old Quaker in an in stant. ‘Xhco’re the thief John! thee’re the thief -—I never told one 1 lost the hag !’ It is needless to say the doubloons werer restored and the clumsy rogue pardoned, with a caution to go and sin no more. Matrimony; —The happiness of tiro Inn band and wife is mutually derived from each other—they partake alike of joy and sorrow, glory and ignominy, wealth and poverty —-they are the same to each other in all the circumstances of life ; the misfortune of one is the misfortune of the other—nothing but the grave can sever their connexion ; even the bonds which unite brother and sister or parents and children arc far loss enduring, Tbe tender youth is grown into manhood ; he is now, perhaps, contending with tha difficulties of the world, and receives no more the protection of a father or mother -the old are sinking into the grave a rouud him, and his only solace is the wife of his bosom:—sbe perhaps lias fled from her parental roof willing to sacri fice everything for his sake, and now clings fondly to him for protection and •upport; thus she becomes his chief de light ami by her tenderness and love she sweet -as Ins toil, and scatters sunshine in the pathway of his existence.
