The following is a literal narrative, the

eVt v incident in which occurred precisely
In a certain flat country of Ireland be
ta,- n a hill renowned in the Ossiamc lays,
a „,l the pretty village Rathangan, stands
t h e 1 ;i of Dunganstown, an oblong ridge of
lim ’ ■ me i.bont a mile and a half long, and
,h- . i I’idrf-d feet in height. From the
top, harming view is obtained over • vast;
nt of arable land, once occupied by for
est i larsh, and meadow, and hunted over
i .."j". mi 'vf .cCumhaill and his warriors, or
t v chiefs of the era in which they

loot • mile, extends a ‘•tog
-1., r ”or c iiusewav, to within a short distance
of the hill, and proves of great service to
f, ,'.v-li.-'nis and carriers of turf and other
. .'..rrv produce. On one side of this tog
l, r xtends a reclaimed bog, intersected in
places by drains never deficient of
1V i r in rainy weather, and this causeway
wne on which our bi-j
rin- drama was enacted. Our authority,'
, "... a j, isiness-loving Dublin merchant, as--
.; lat the < xliibition which was well cal
. to make a lively impression on an
nt.-nt and inquisitive youth, of eleven.
' . . of age, still in blessed ignorance of
j, :i . ibe-irs, stags, and other monsters,
. ;i infest the forest where men of stock
t.ik‘ their forenoon exercise.
! Donegal! was a boy in the service of
a l iimcr in the neighborhood, and every
evening was in the liabit of driving his
. when milking was ended, to the re
el i: ,-d flat we have mentioned. It was en
ei , lln the “toglicr" on one side, and a
}j, M of rape on the other. Mike was a
smooth easy-going youth, of few words, and
as little likely to ‘'set the Liffey or any
gr, at* r river on fire'’ as any boy in Leinster.
6 On,.- evening, while on returning home af
ter having driven his cattle to their pasture,
he met with an acquaintance, the servant
boy of a neighboring fanner, and addressed
him in words to this effect: “Faith, a strange
tliii.- happened to me just now. Just as I
was driving the cows into the pasture a big
whin cat jumped out of the rape-field and
ran towards me. It was mighty playful at
fir ;, and miaw-d at me, and rubbed the
1., and ia a i list iny legs, and purred, the way
tin vdo when they do lie pleased. After a
w 1,1 1 - - In; stopped this, and began to walk
around me, and growl, und the eyes of him
-oinetini i were like to coals of fire, and
other times like the green spots in a pea
cneh's feather. Faith myself got frightened,
mi l at last f let a screech out of me, for he
look' 1 a big as a dog, and if he flew at my
throat with them elatvs and teeth of his, I
had no way to save my life. Well, what
would you have of it? the next minute there
wn-n't a igii of him to Vie seen; but I made
no,// 1" • in the place you may depend. You
ma -: bring tin- mastiff dog with you to-inor
row evening when I’m dhrivin’ out the cat
tle; that's the boy for to match any cat in
Ireland.”
Next i veiling the neighbor came, bringing
tin; dog. an-I accompanied by a few curious
village full s. who had heard the story in the
rour-eof the day. When they reached the
spot itidienti and, Mike, pointingin an agitated
mania r to the fence of the rape-field, cried
out. “There lie is, there he is! Why don’t
you ,-t the dog at him? ()w, ow, here he
coni -! * “Ilie, cat! hie, cat!” cried the as
sistant-. g'-ting rather terrified Viy the hoy’s
apparent fright, and his cries. The dog
hail- and ami jumped about in great excite
ment, but it was evident that he neither saw
cat nor id in any direction. “0, don’t
y<nis all see him sittin’ there on the edge of
the gripe? lie turned back when Thigeen
began to bark, but he’s now lookin' at me,
ami ; ruwlin'like vengeance.” The standers
hy h gall to be more frightened at the cat
they did not see than Mike at the cat he did
si i ; and off thev drew without more delay.
That i veiling and the next day the story had
traveled a mile or two in every direction,
and tlic following evening, at the same
hour, n hundred people, at least, including
our authority, were onthespot.
Mile s attention was again painfully ar
re ted liv the cat, to tile terror of some and
the ilerisi on of u few. It changed its posi
tion several times, and Mike’s features were
expressive of great trouble, blended with
awe. After this state of things had contin
ued for a while someone proposed to send
for the schoolmaster, whose house stood by
the ide of a neighboring by-road. A depu
tation waited on him, but on learning their!
busiuet i he scoffed at the thing altogether,
said that glmsts nr spirits were out of place
in tin- nineteenth century, that he was tired,
and that it was too late, and that lie would
be on the spot next evening, and make a!
hare of Mike or the ghost, whichever de
served it.
At the usual hour of the cow’s visit to the
pasture on next evening, our informant wasi
one among a thousand spectators at least.
\\hib- waiting for the young ghost-seer they
formed knots and indulged in various sur-j
mist -a. Some were of opinion that it was
wl.ai lias si lire been poetically termed a sell,
while : young man, who bad made the Pan
theon his study, and had got a glimpse of
the ?> 1.-t cm psychosis, conjectured that some
evil liver ot past days was now obliged to do
pen iice in tin- uliapt of the cat, and hinted 1
'' • ucy of giving the animal a;
will.-berth. I In schoolmaster arriving, and
fimhii a good deal of desultory chat going
on. mixed with some laughter (for a little
factitious courage is always generated in a
crowd) raised his voice, and requested deco- 1
rum to lie observed. “If there is any truth
in the boy s story.” said he, “the spirit must
good or evil one, and in either!
ease levity should not prevail. O, here is
the spirit-seer!”
Ihi 1 ow s were seen approaching, and the
young herd, feeling himself the observed of
tin- multitude, slowly advanced, assuming
whatever gravity lm could in face and move-!
mi id. \\ In n lie came opposite tho locality
of the former apparition, lie cried out, in
real Cl-assumed fright., “The cat, the cat!”
All I>.\- line hushed and attentive; then, fol
lowing with his eyes the supposed move
ments of the apparition towards a little hil
lock occupied by some women and children,
he , ri. i. “Take care! he is going that wav!”
There was a general scamper among the lit
tl' c roup, mixed with some cries and ejacu
lations. and the operation was repeated a
couple of times morn with other groups.
This eimsrd some general annoyance, and
one disconti nted individual culled out. “Now
is yt nr time, master, if you have anything
to-a ,to Mike or tho ghost. You know you
boasted lust night there was uo such thing
k!i<>&ts. L t us see what you are good
“W ell." said he, “one thing or the other
must be taking place a spirit is present in
tin- shape ol a eat, or the child is making
fun of us all. Ido not believe in these ap
paritions; but if any one of you that lias
mil faith or more folly than myself directs
the boy to order the thing, in the name of
tin Holy Trinity, to appear in its own shape,!
and nv. I whs! -.s troubling it, you’ll see or
lioar something out of the common if the
bov is not humbugging you all. Mind, I
dou t believe a word of his story.”
A voice was heard from the fore ranks.
“Weil, tlnui, 1 believe in ghosts, but am not
I any mother’s son of ’em.
Mia . my buy. do as the mastlier says, and
111 be yu-.ir bail for any harm that can liap

Hue the mother of the boy rushed at him
out of the crowd. “Miek, my darling,”
said she, "take cure what you do! Maybe

with the adjuration, alluded to before it, au^

bent forward, sileut as the to catch
the answer. Hut if any answer came, no one
, heard it but the boy. ‘After he had waited
for a while he took heart and requested to
!be told what he should do next. “Let him
answer the first question before you go to a
second D.dn t vous ail hear what he
said? “We heard nothing but your voice
asking him.” “0, I see, no one can hear him
but myself. Well, the answer he gave was
that his name was Paddy Mullowney, and
that when he was alive he lived in these
parts. ” Then Issued a volley of observations
and ejaculations. “Tshu, tshu! Well, to be
sure! See there now! That flogs! I wish we
could hear himself! It’s all a piece of gost
lier. Whisht, whisht! no use to be too hard
of believing.” This portion of the narrative
would occupy too much space if given in de
tail with all the interjections, cross-questions,
interruptions, etc. So we confine ourselves
to the statement made by Mike the inter
preter.
I CONCLUDED IN OUR NEXT. ]

(lld-\£R A I. > EWsT
Wilmington, October s.—Tbit morning th«
•aan of tho Cuban privateer was carried before
General Allen Rutherford, United btatea Com
missioner , District Cape Fear Judge Pierson and
r reach appeared for the Government, and Georg*
Davis, Esq., and JurigeO. P. Meere for defendants
I he partita were arraigned on tne charge that thev
did accept and exercise a commission to serve a
foreign people in war, to wit: to the people of
Cuba against the people of Spain, a conutry with
which the United States is at peace, and did tit out
and arm, and did procure, to be fitted out and
armed with the limiis of the United states. a cer
tain ship or Vessel called the Cuba, with lnteut
tnat said vessel shall be employed in seivice of the
people of Cuba to cruize and commit hostilities
against the people of Spam, a country with which
the United States is at peace, aud did enlist and
s.-rve on board of said vessel with intent to cruize
and commit hostilities against people of Spain in
, violatiin of the statutes of the United Slates’of
Act of Congress of 20th April, 1818.
The Government not pressing the matter, partie*
were not required to give bonus for appearance at
tfie time specii led, but were placed iu custody of
U. 8. Marshal Neff, who released them on parole
on tlieir personal assurance that they would not
attempt to leave. Counsel for the Government
made the point that the vessel had been fitted out
in the. I niied S ates, as charged in the indictment,
to cruise aud commit hostilities against a Govern
ment with which the United States is at peace, iu
order to make it a prime i foci* case, and they asked
for continuance, to allow time to secure the pre
sence. for the Goverums.it from New
York aud Washington.
The counsel for the defendants opposed the mo
tion for continuance, contending that the United
States had no right to hold the parties, as the ves
sel was commissioned by a regularly organized
Government—the Republic of Cuba. That she put
in at Smithville in distress, and that it was con
trary to the laws of nations to detain her. Com
missioner Rutherford decided that it was a prima
facia cese, and granted the Government until
Monday llth instant, I o’clock, to produce wit
nesses.
Richmond, October s. —The Legislature con
vened at noon with a full attendance iu the House.
Temporary organization was effected, with Wm.
Laughlin, of Rockbridge, Speaker, and H. G.
Jones, of Albemarle, Clerk. The body then ad
journed till to-morrow,
The Senate m t w.t i Lieut. Governor Lewis in
the Chair. The organization was completed with
Davis, old incumbent, Cl rk ; Wirt H. Addison, old
incumbent, sergeant-at-arms; Minor, of Loudon,
first, uud Abraham Hull, colored, second door
keeper.
New York, October 5 —The Herald’s Madrid
special reports a battle between the Republicans

thousand strong, after losing forty killed and sixty
wounded, and a number captured, retreated to the
mountains.
Trot, N. Y., Octobers.—The flood is unprece
dented—three drowned.
Hartford, Conn., October 5. — The prostrated
telegraphs prevent transmission of returns. Hart
ford gave a Democratic majority of seven hundred.
I,ater —Full reports of the. flood show immense

Richmond, October 6.—ln the House, to-day,
two resolutions that the iron-clad oath be now ad
ministered to members and temporary officers
of the House, were referred to the proper commit
tee, when it shall be appointed.
A protest, adopted by Republican caucus last
night, was presented. It is formed with a view of
answering Attorney General Hoar's argument, and
protests against any acts of the Legislature at this
session, the members not having taken the iron
clad oath, and the body being therefore illegal. It
was referred.
The following nominations were made for Speak
er: Zephaniah Turner, of Rappahannock; L. T.
Maddox, of Chesterfield, and John B. Crenshaw,
of Richmond. Turner, w r iio was nominated by a
i Conservative, obtained 87 votes. Maddox, nomi-j
nated by a Wells Republican, obtained 41 votes,
und Crenshaw 5. Turner was declared elected.
In the discussion the point was pressed that
Turner now has an application before Congress for
the removal of his political disabilities, aud it was
explained that though not able to take the test
oath he was not disqualified by the 14th Amend
ment. J. B. Bigger, the old incumbent, was elected
Clerk. In the Senate the same protest of the Re
publicans’ caucus was presented, and a resolution
was adopted laying it on the table, on the ground
that it was manifestly an effort to obstruct reconj
struction aud was in plain opposition to the iuteu
tion of Congress as expressed in the reconstruction
acts, and in direct violation of the interpretation of
said acts by the administration.
A resolution was adopted informing the com
manding General of the organization of the Senate.
Adjourned.
The House cho9e T. C. Crittenden sergeant at
arms, and adjourned. Turner, who was elected
speaker of the house to-day, is a lawyer about 00
years old and one of the first advocates of the re
construction acts in the State He was an old
Whig, changed to a Dougl *s Democrat in 1800,
and was shortly after defeated as a Union candi
date for the legislature.
Wilmington, Uc oher o.— An entertainment on
board the Cuban sloop-of-war Cuba, w r atteuded
by a large number of ladies aud geutlemen this
evening.
No new developernents concerning the status of
the Cuba, but the public mind here is unanimous
in the opinion that she will be released soon, as the
investigation caused her to he released by the Uni
ted Slates authorities at Philadelphia, and by the
British authorities at Halifax, and the fact that she :
s a vessel of war, regularly commissioned by the
Cuban Government, und not tilted out iu any
United States port, seems conclusive that there is
uo justification for her detention. Hon. George
Davis, ex-Attorney General of the Confederate
States, is one of the counsel for the Cubans.
Richmond, Va., October 7. —In the Senate the
protest of the Republican caucus against the legal
ity of the body was taken up and read at length.
It announces that the Republican members reserve
to themselves the right at any time to secede from
the present Legislature and organize by themselves
the legal and loyal Legislature. The ejeuate voted
to lay it on the table.
During the discussion, a Republican said he re
garded those who joined in making this protest as
representing the Administration aud Congress, un
til tho President aud Congress should decide oth
erwise.
It was announced that Gen. Canby bad replied
to the committee of the Legislature, which waited
on him, that he had no communication to make.
Gov. Walker sent iu his message. Os the Fif
teenth Amendment, he says : “The people of this
Commonwealth at the late election, by an over
whelming majority, accepted and adopted the
principle sought to be incorporated into tbe Fed
eral Constitution by this Amendment, viz: The
civil und political equality of all men before the
law. The well known honor and integrity of the
people of Virginia forbids even the supposition
that they would fail to faithfully adhere to, and
maintain, while necessary and possible, any princi
ple to which they had yielded their adherence.
He considers the electing of Senators clearly a
requisite to admissiou, and adds, complete resto
ration is accomplished by admission to represents
tiou in Congress, and there can be no question
that admission to representation may to some ex
tent depend upon the representatives elected.
While the election of Senators would fully com
plete every preparation necessary for the prompt
admission of the State to representation to both
Houses of Congress, the eleetiou of suitable men
tor these exalted positiocs would unmistakably
demonstrate the sincerity of our past action and
afford a sure guarantee of our intentions and pur
poses for the future.
The caucus of tha Conservative members of the
Legislature to-night, resolved to adopt the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments at once. In
joiut committee on the Governor’s message, a
proposition by Snowdon, of Alexandria, to add
a bill passing* the Fifteenth Amendment clause,
showing that it was done because requisite to the
admission of the State, was rejected—only two of
the committee voting in favor of it. To-morrow
an amendment will be offered iu the House to
make the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment
conditional to the admission of the State.
Bangor, Me., October 7. —A letter from the tel
egraph mauager at Coiias, Me., says : “We are iu
a terrible state here. The lines both ways are fiat
on the ground, and covered with trees and build
ings. The damage to vessels and buildings is very
great. Eastport is reported to have been nearly
demolished. The water in the Penobscot has risen
to its highest spring mark. The booms are broken
aud millions of feet of logs have goue by the city.
A large gang of men having been sent do *n after
them, it is hoped that most of them will be picked
up.
Richmond, October S.—Both Houses of the
Legislature to-day ratified the 14th and 15th Amend
ments. In the House there were only six votes
against them, and iu tb« Senate only four against
the 14th and two against the 15th; one of the
latter beiug a colored Republican Senator, who
declined voting because the Legislature is illegal.
The Legislature, by joint resolution, then ad
ourned till October ISth.
In the House an amendment to the bill passing
the loth Amendment, making it take effect on and
after the admission of the State to the Union, only,
reached five votes.
Iu the same body a resolution was offered that in
view of any doubts expressed about the legality of
this Legislature, it will, after admission to the
Union, re-enact the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. Resolution referred.
In the Senate to-day, before adjournment, a reso
lution was offered pledgiug the re-enactment of
the two amendments after the admissiou of the
State, and was pending when the Senate adjourned.
It was opposed by i Conservative Senator ms cast
-1 ing doubt ou the already pledged faifh of Virginia.
General Caoby has issued an order appropriating
f fifteen thousand dollars to pay the expenses of the
present session of the Legislature.
Jackson, Miss., October s*. —The Vicksburg
Times of to-dav has the following telegram ad
dressed to President Grant. It was sent from this
city last evening. General Ames in an official in
terview with a citizen of this State, on Monday
last, used ihUlauguage: “I intend to Carry the
election in November against the Democratic tick
et, if I have to march my soldiers from precinct to
precinct to effect it.” Will such action fall within
his legitimate official power ? The people wish a
fair expression of the public will in the choice of
Governor. The consummation of the Military
Governor's avowed purpose, will render the elec
tion a cheat and a national degradation.

Washington, October 10.—Secretary Boutwcll,
in his speech at Philadelphia, said he was aware of
the differences of opinion as to the payment of the

regard to the public debt, as he comprehended it.
“It was that the debt was to be paid, principal and
interest, according to the terms of the contract, in
coin or that which men will receive as the equiva

yr TIIK EXHAUSTED SYSTEM.—Summer
is a debilitating season, and the sudden change of
i temperature which takes place at this period of
the year finds the healthiest of us considerably
enervated by tbe preceding heat, and the weakly
aud delicate almost prostrated. This is not a
favorable condition in which to encounter the raw
j cold winds of October and its chilling foes and
night dews, and consequently intermittent fever,
dysentery, bilious attacks, and rheumatism are
more or less prevalent everywhere, but especially
in localities where the atmosphere is naturally
unwholesome. In order to avoid the dangers aris
ing from these causes, the exhausted system should
now be renovated aud invigorated by a course of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This
purest and most potent of all vegetable tonics and
exhilarants regulates the secretions while it renews
the strength, and purifies the fluids of the body,
while it gives firmness and vigor to the nervous
organization. Free from the unpleasant flavor
which renders the ordinary tonics so repulsive,
composed of extracts and juicest of the choicest
vegetable invigorants and correctives, mingled
with a diffusive stimulant from which every nox
. ious element has been expelled, this renowned pre
paration is, in all respects, tbe very best medicine
of its kind that the world has ever kuown. Such
is the opinion of distinguished members of the
medical profession, and the general verdict of the
public, after an experience of twenty years, during
which HOSTETTER’S BITTERS has attained a
greater popularity and a more extensive sale than
any specific ever advertised in the columns of the
American press.
leg- WE HAVE WATCHED THE COURSE
of so many distressed, emaciated aud forlorn dye
peptics, of worn-out and prostrated females, who
have taken anew lease of life, and gradually re
ceived vigor, strength, health, and the power of
social pleasure from the effects of PLANTATION
BITTERS, that we are not surprised at the Testi
monials daily received. If it is a pleasure to do
good in the world, how full must be the measure
of the Proprietors of these celebrated Bitters.

THE SECRET OF BEAUTY lies in the
use of Hagan's Magnolia Balm for the com
plexion.
Roughness. Redness, Blotches, Sunburn, Freck
les and Tan disappear where it is applied, and a
beautiful complexion of pure, satin-like texture, is
obtained. The plainest features are made to glow
with healthful bloom and youthful beauty.
Remember Ragan's Magnolia Balm is the thing
that produces these effects, and any lady can se
cure it for 75 cents at any of our stores.

was a limited demand and heavy feeling. On Mon- :

service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints;
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af

THE BIOOR
Tliis compound will be found a great
health, when taken in the spring, to
expel -'the foul humors which fester in the
blood nt that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; clennse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foal, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even w here no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing tbe blood. Keep the
omnfl healthy, and all is well; but with this

life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla lias, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends." But
j the world hns been egrcgiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
! for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
Dining late years the public nave been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extraots of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
i we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it lias virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

FEMALE REGULATOR!
WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND!

fIYHIS valuable Medicine is prepared for WOMEN
X exclusively, and to be used by women oniy.
It is adapted especially to those cases where the
womb is disordered, aud will cure any irregularity
In the “menses.” except in such cases as require a
surgical operation. As these last are very rare, the
F* e iii ale R emulator
Is of almost universal application. In a sudden
check of the “monthly courses” from cold, trou
ble of mind or like cause, it acts like a chann, by
restoring the discharge in every instance, thus re
lieving the fever, headache, pain in the small of
the back and “lower stomach,” flushes of heat
about the face, chilly sensations, burning of the
i eyelids, and general restlessness. Taken in time,
all of these symptoms pass away immediately,
without injury to the constitution. Frequently,
[however, the proper remedy is not applied in time,
the disease becomes chronic, and the foundation
i laid for numberless evils to the constitution of
I woman. The next “turn comes around and there
:is no “show,” or perhaps the “whites” will ap
pear. There will be some uneasiness about the
womb, but very little or none of the natural fluid
escaping. The complexion becomes sallow, bow
; els swollen, a sort of greenish caste about the face,
constant dull, aching pains iu tbe head, weight in
1 the lower stomach and back, with or without
whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, exhaus
tion, indigestion, weariness, lau;or, aching across
the loins, loss of appetite, paiu in left breast,
tightness across the chest, cough and giddiness.
! li still allowed to go on, “green sickness” will be
i fully developed; the headache becomes severe,
j with loss of memory, diminished flensimuw
'Stomach, dyspepsia, no relish for food, loss of flesh,
An»t.erlfu t ttWotliug Os the
j feet, legs and body, and occasional spitting of
j blood.
I Tbe sllghest effort causes hurried breathing al
most to suffocation. The skiu is flabby, aud has a
| “doughy feel.”
! This is a sad picture, but it is the condition of
| thousands of women between the ages of fifteen
uud forty five, who are brought to the grave by ig
norance, or neglect to take the proper remedy.
To all who are afflicted with any of the symp
toms above mentioned, in connection with ah ir
regularity of the “monthly sickness,” we earnest
! lv say, take
DR. J. BRADFIELD’S
FEMALE REGULATOR.
; A few ounces taken, you will at once experience
