Mississippi Pirates.
A whole gang of robbers have been
overhauled, recently, on the Upper
Mississippi, between La Ciotse and Pra
irie da Ohien, which places have exten
sively suffered, the past year,from their
depredations. The robbers had posses
sion of an island, which was searched
by citizens, at the instigation of one
robber, who quarrelled with the others.
Several boats, loaded with goods, were
found near the island, while on one
boat, the leader of the gang, a Dr. Bel!
and his wife, showed fight. This drew
forth the strength of the villages in the
vicinity, and some fifty persons organ
ized, and assailed tiie boats. But tiie
bird had flown, though, as was ascer
tained, in ajwounded condition. Whole
stocks of dry goods, boots and shoes,
books, drugs, clothing, household goods
liquors, groceries.provisions, stoves,&c ,
proved the industry of tiie robbers and
the extent of the band. There was not
less than front $4,000 to $5,000 worth
of property secured, and the Vigilance
Committee had dispatched men to other
depots whore it is expected plunder is
stored. Many of the articles are identi
fied. This robbery hail beer, going or.
for nearly a year, and it was feared that
many men heretofore regarded as hon
est will he found deeply implicated in
this astonishing villainy. Humors cf all
sorts were afloat, the prisoners arrested
exposing their accomplices, and it was
hoped that this would result in break
ing up one of the most formidable bands
of robbers ever organized in the West.
Tiie name of John C. Bishop, the Osage
Land Robber, was connected with this
party, and it was believed by the pris
oners that a boat containing SIO,OOO
worth of goods, from La Crosse and oth
er towns left the depot last month, for
tiie benefit of said Bishop, which boat
was seen near Muscatine two weeks ago,
bound for St. Louis. The Vigilance
Committee at Prairie du Chien have al
ready arrested fourteen, and as the rope
is applied to the necks of some as a per
suader, they are telling all they know
with great liberality.
Another account gives tiie following
version of tiie first attempt at capture.
It seems a carpenter, named Ralph,
has been in the employ of the robbers
for several months building boats, &e.,
preparatory to a voyage down below.
One day last week, a quarrel ensued be
tween Ralph and one of the party, which
resulted in Ralph’s exposure of tiie vil
lians. Two constables and several ac
tive citizens immediately left for Big
Island, and on the first day of their
search caught three men and a boy,from
whom they learned that a man, calling
himself Dr. Bell, was in command of a
boat moored in some of the sloughs of
the island,and loaded with stolen goods
to the amount of several hundred dol
lars. On the next morning, Kee, Peek
and the bov proceeded to look up the
.; ii. ha, —; c. reted . c ....
within dose distance before any signs of
life were exhibited on board. The bark
ing of a dog on the pirate vessel roused
its captain, and he sprang out on the
bow. in his shirt ; seeing the boy, it is
supposed he took the party for
and remarked that his “wife was not
up,” requesting them to hold on. At
this moment,the skiff being near to the
Bandit, Kee was leaning forward to
make a prisoner of him, when Beil's
countenance assumed a demoniac ap
pearance ; he sprang into tiie boat, pie;
sented a revolver at the door of it, and
screamed to the party, “ God d— your
blow you to h—.” Without
further invitation, Mr. Teqk. who was
in the line of danger, fired his revolver
as he supposed, fatally, Bell fell back
wounded, and in few seconds a pistol
shot passed through the side of the boat
from the chest on which Bell was sen
utisly wounded ; and having heard
that ids wife was a practical gunner,the
assailing party deemed it most pru
dent to return to McGregor for a
force sufficient to secure the boat and
bring it into port,

THE R ECO AC ILI AT ION!
A STORY OF TWO PBOPD lUAItJS.
.’.Wt.rF.EP.—CHAPTER 11.
Walter Hoscoe, turning away from
his sister's home, thought sadly of tiie
many days that must elapse before he
entered it again. Os Gertrude he told
himself again and again he would not
think ; and again and again her image
came up before him, as he had seen her
last.
“Have I not wronged her!” lie
thought, as he paced the floor of his of
fice that evening. “Is it not possible
she may be innocent, even though ap
pearance® were amdnst her ? Khali T s*-e
her once more? Pshaw! what a fool ]
am? Did I not sec her there beside
him? Did I not sen his lips meet hers?
If I asked for better proof than my own
eyes have given me, I must be Nr mad
man. I will leave this place, and never
comeback til! she has gone away.”
He threw a few things into a' valise,
locked the writing-desk beside him, and
stepping out into the street, valise in
hand, locked up his office, and walked
away. His residence was a long dis
tance from the garden of his sister’s
house, and yet it was there he found
himself after a hurried walk of some five
minutes. He lifted the latch of the
little gate and entered.
• ■ It is tiie last time, Gertrude, that I
shall be so weak,” he murmured, as lie
looked up at the vine curtained window,
where # lamp was still burning; “ the
last time I shall be so near you! Oh !
| Gertrude, can yon dream what yon have
done, or is your heart all marble?”
He buried his face in his hands, and
| wept like a child. The memory of the 1
; happy hours he had spent with her came
i over him tiro strongly to he borne. He
; could only meet such remembrances
with his tears.
When he looked up again lie was con
scious of an unusual bustle in the house.
Lights were moving hurriedly in seve
ral directions, and once or twice he
caught a glimpse of his sister's figure
passing the window of Gertrude’s room.
What could it be? Was Gertrude ill?
His heart stood still at the thought.
He could bear never to look upon her
face again ; but oh, the grave must not
cover it from him. He sprang up the
path, and was about to enter, when the
I door opened, and Alfred Kgorton came
out.
“ You here, Walter ?” he-exchrimed,
starting back, as the pale face of his
brother met his eye. “ I iiitli just told ■
me to go for you when I had summoned '
tiie doctor.”
“The doctor !” said Walter, turning :
pale, as he found his worst suspicions
realized. “ Who wants the doctor ?" '
“ MisS Alewynneis very ill,” replied
Alfred. “She is threatened with a
brain fever, 1 think.”
“Oh, merciful Heavent” The un
happy mail staggered, and caught at his
brother’s hand to steady himself. i
Alfred looked at him a moment, and
then said soothingly, “Walter, it will i
not do for me to stay here a moment. 1
But go in and see Faith ; she will com
fort you.’ 1. He wrung his hand sympa
thizing!)-, and hurried away.
Half blind with his unshed tears, the i
unhappy young mar. entered the house, ’
and seeing his sister sitting at her wri
ting desk in the parlor, sank down at
her feet and hid his face in her lap.
“Will she die, Faith ?'’ he asked.
“Ihope not, my poor Walter. But
she is very ill,"answered Faith, laying
her harm upon his head. “Our own ;
doctords with her now, and Alfred is
just gone for another.”
‘•What are you doing 1 ” he asked,!!
looking up at the half-lini bed note be- j'
fore her. “ Writing to her brother to;;
come to her,” replied Faith.
I did not know she had one, Faith.” j
“Oil, yes. I have never seen him. ;
blit she sent me his portrait once You
know,” she added, with a faint blush*) 1
“it was quite a dream with us when we ;
were girls—that is she wished me to !
to marry her brother, and I wanted her
to marry mine.”
“ I know—l know, .-: .! J a alter, and :
an indefinable expression of pain flitted
over his face.
“ And so she sent mo Edward's por
trait,” continued Faith. - Would you
like to see it, Walter ?”—“Yes,” he re
plied, quickly.
Kite opened her writing-desk, and ta
king out a small inlaid case, gave it to
him. lie gave one startled glance at it
another —and the portrait fell from
his hands, aud he uttered a loud cry.
“Oh, Gertrude!" he exclaimed. “Oh,
my poor wife 1”
“ Gertrude your wife!” exclaimed his
startled sister. “Oh, Walter, when
will these mysteries cease?”
“Now—with this moment,” lie re
plied, rising and seating himself beside
her. “ You shall hear all—you deserve
it. Faith, you have had year wish.
wife.”
“Oh, Walter!” she exclaimed.
“Don’t interrupt me.” he said. “I
knew long ago what your wish was;
but I wanted to judge of Gertrude for
myself. 1 knew she thought you were
my own sister, and she met me as Wal
ter Boscoe, at a fashionable watering
place, without a suspicion of my iden
tity. I found her all you had so often
described. 1 followed her to her home,
and she was still more lovely there.—
Still I did nut make myself known as
your brother. Perhaps I had a fancy
for one of yotir -pleasant surprises,’
Faith.”
“Oh, goon, dear Waiter,” said his
sister.
“ I married her, Faith, and was look
ing forward to a happy meeting with
you. It was the second evening of our
marriage, and I had walked out with a
iriend to whom I wished to say good
bye. The moon had risen before I re
t irned, and as I laid my hand upon
tiie latch of the gate, I remember look- '
ing up at the moon, and thinking what
a tranquill beautiful aspect it wore,
and how perfectly happy ! was. Faith,
I have looked at the moon many times
since, hut she never wears that lovely
face for me now.” • ’ i
He paused and sighed, faith kissed
him tenderly, and waited for the con- ,
elusion of the story.
“ Well, it must all be told,” he re- (
sumed. “I entered the house quietly, ,
thinking to surprise Gertrude with a
kiss, as she was watching for me. I
found her—oh. Faith—l found her with j
her lips pressed to those of another, and ,
| her arm around his neck!”
i Faith uttered an indignant cry.— j
*• Brother,” she said, “there must be ,
|some mistake hero. Gertrude is good ,
and pure.' Iknowit.”
“ Thank you for saying so,” lie an
swered, witli a melancholy smile! “ I
; know it, too. now—would to Heaven I .
had known it then 1”
“ But what did you do, Walter ?”
“ What would any man do, Faith ? 1
[sprang upon him like a tiger—she threw
herself between us. He was about to]
speak, but she cried out—-Not a word
not a word, if yon love me 1’ Think of
it, Faith! If he loved her! Wasitnot
enongli to madden me ? I teas mad, I
believe. I cursed her bitterly—l called I
her wanton and unfaithful. She had j
listened in silence till then—then slip
turned very pale, and looked at me. 1}
can hear her saying now. in a deep, low ]
voice— 1 After that, I can never be more
to you.’ She turned away and took his
arm. They left the room, and I—l let
them go. - Yes, Faith—l was too heart- j
broken to avenge myself. I was too
deeply deceived to lift my hand, even j
when my wife left the room with one I
iinly bciiuveu to bo mT pu rain our.* —.
From that night we have never met,
and only two cold and brief letters have
passed between us.”
“Oh, Walter! This is what has
changed her so 1”
“Is she then changed?’’ he asked
eagerly.
“ She has grown cold, and hard, and
proud—and she is sad—oh, so little like [
the Gertrude of my school days ?” said
Faith.
“She has been drinking of a bitter
cup, and my .hand held it to her lips,”
said Walter. “ Now hear the rest, ]
Taitli. Half an bon* ago I believed her
guilty. But that fatal portrait shows
me the same face I saw on that accursed
night. It was her brother.”
‘ • And she never told you so!” said
Faith.
-• You little know Gertrude, I see.”
replied Walter. “ I wounded her in
the tenderest spot. She is the soul of
truth and honor ; but if any one should j
doubt her, woe be to him! And I—oh !
v.-hat a fearful doubt was mine! I
wronged her deeply, and she was far too
proud to forgive me. Will she ever do
it, Faith?” |
“ She will—she must 1” cried Faith,]
earnestly. “It lias been a terrible mis- j
take, but let us trust that all will go ’
well. I see it all now. Not till to-day
didslieknow tfint you were my half-!
brother ; not till to-day did she dream
that Walter Roscoe and you were the
same. Oh, how much she must have j
suffered!”
A low knock came at the half-open
door of the parlor, and Alfred Egerton
immediately entered.
- - I have been for the physician,
| Faith,” he said hurriedly, “and both
have seen her. I have the best of news
for you. They say it is only the long
and hurried journey, and great mental 1
excitement, that lias prostrated her.—
They have left her quite comfortable,
and she lias asked for you. Will you
go up and see her while I sit with Wal
ter ?”
Faith grasped her husband’s hand an .1
looked up to him with beaming eyes.— j
“ You were ever a messenger of glad
tidings to me, Alfred,” she said ; “ and ,
now to reward you, you shall hear
mine.”
She related what slie had already !
heard in a few brief words, and then
stealing Her hand into his, asked, “Now
what is to be done!”
“ I should say, my dear Faith, that
the sooner those two are brought to
gather the better,” replied Mr. Egerton,
When his astonishment all >wed him to
speak.
“ I knew you would say so 1” ex- ;
claimed Faith. “Walter, follow me;!
and you, Alfred, wait here; I will be:
back in a few moments.”
They went qnietly up the stairs to- ]
getiier to Gertrude’s room. Leaving:
Walterat the door, Faith entered, and j
] went up to the bed-side. Gertrude was
lying half asleep in bed. The traces of j
tears were on her cheeks, and a small j
gold locket lay open in her hand. A!
] rapid glance assured Faith t hat it was
j her brother's portrait, and she bent j
down and kissed her friend.
! Gertrude started—looked up, and ;
i tried to hide the portrait. Buc some
! second thought prompted her to lay it,
in Faith’s hand, and say, with a sail
smile, “ You see, I know him.”
“Is that all, Gertrude?" saitli Faith,
gwlltl) .
“All!” said Ucitrude. springing up
in bed, and tossing the black hair from
her forehead. “ Listen, Faith. I loved
him more than any earthly thing—l
; married him a year ago, though I never ]
knew he was your brother till to day.
He held my very heart in his hand, and .
crushed it to atoms ! He liad no faith
in me—in me—who would not have !
wronged him for worlds. Oh, Faith,
though he is your brother, lie has made !
my life a weary thing to bear. Leave I
me—to-morrow I will tel! you more— !
but now I am too weak.”
She sank back upon her pillow, and
covered her face with her hands. Faith
stule noiselessly away, and Walter en
tered am! took her place. All was silent
for a few moments. Then, without;
looking up, Gertrude asked, “Faith.
It was a stronger aim ..... ■ 1V..-as
that was around her. and a moustached
lip that kissed her hand, ''ho looked;
up in sudden bewilderment, and saw her
husband bending over her with Ids eyes
full of tears. The sudden joy was too
much for her, and all her pride was
swept away in a moment.
“Walter, it was niy brother," slie
muimered.
“ I know it, dearest- I know all. Hut -
tin you forgive me, Gertrude.'”
“ Forgive!” slie repeated.
There was a beautiful smile upon her
lip as she drew him nearer and kissed
him passionately. The estrangement
of a year was all forgotten in that be
wildering return of happiness. Faith
wept silently for joy, upon her husband’s
shoulder, in the little parlor below :
and who can doubt that the angels in
heaven rejoced to see so perfect anil
complete a reconciliationsbetw.ien those
proud and loving hearts I—for those
who forgive arc dear in tiie sight of

o’ceurred this morning at 0 1-2 o'clock,
on the Central Railroad, by the crush
ing of a bridge over the Stmquoit Creek. ,
some three and a half miles west of
this city, near Whitesboro. Seven or
eight persons are already dead,and five
or six-others are barely alive. The in
ured number forty or more.
/ The accident occurred to the Cincin

minutes past G. It was somewhat be
hind time at Whitesboro’, and was com
ing up at a high late of speed, when it
met, on the bridge over the Sanquoit I
Creek, the Utica accommodation train
for the West, each on its own track,—
The engines crossed the bridge, but as
the passenger cars of the Express and
the freight cars of the accommodation
came upon it, the north side gave way, j
precipitating the freight cars into the
creek, pilling the passenger cars one
above the other, and splintering the
