LOCAL MATTERS. Convert Hall. i his week we have quite a dearth of amusements in town. Mr. Marcuant' has been so poorly paid for his efforts toj keep Concert Hall open, that we are not, surprised that he should close it. His j friends here would be glad -to see Mrs. I Hatnf. in the characters that have| drawn such houses in Charleston, and 1 «e cannot doubt that an engagement j here would be profitable to her and the , management. '" I A Engraving. We call attention to the advertise ment of Mr. Hogues. We are assured that he is very skilful in his business and would, without doubt, give satisfac- 1 tion to all who may employ him. 1 The Sew Comities, The Milledgeville Recorder in speak- 'J jngof Burr's new map of Georgia, has v (he following very just comments upon the folly of the Legislature in uselessly n establishing so many new counties. We have been struck with the size j; and shape of many of the new counties Jj that have been made in the last few -. ears by the legislature, as shown by Mr. Butts’ Map. Os all imaginable angles, (and tri-angles) shapes, sizes and “ forms for counties, Georgia will be hard to beat. Some, to our eye, are not much ® larger than a decent potato patch, and others are so tortured into a shape, that it would make one cross eyed to look at j’ them long. Now, we have no objec j tions to new counties, when there is an j y absolute necessity for it, and when said , v counties can pay more into the Stale r Treasury than they take out for their members to the legislature and for .school purposes. Some oi' the counties ; in the State are an outrage upon all j sense of justice, as the tax books show ;j 1 that they arc a burden rather than a 1 blessing. And then the idea of one him- | c tired and thirty two Senators ! Thinking ' men of Georgia ponder upon that fact. No wonder we have such legislate n.— ;V And think of the price we pay for it! ! s Forty days at six tlollais a day for 132 | Senators amounts to the fiiutU rum of * $31,080, independent of clerks, messen- j gers and dt >r keeper, which amounts 11 from five to ten thousand dollars more 1 j* We could not help ferns led to these P reflections by looking at some of the r small counties created for selfish purpo see by some few aspiring and would be t legislators.

STUART. Sot to be blest with warrior strength. To wield the sword and wear the glaive, Or rise to conqueror’s fame at length, Proclaims the good or makes the brave. j To have the power to bide the scorn, I And rise above the hate aud strife Os those to wealth and title born. Is the crown’d courage of our life. What are the swords that prop a king— The banners in bis army’s van— To strength of soul, that dares to spring And show the monarch in the wean ? Kings and mightiest men of arms, Strong as the heads of realms they bide, Sport as they may with fortuno’s charms, They are like haves uiion the tide. In dim of old sepulchres they lie. The feast of silence and decay, While Ihs true world-heart beatclh high And thrones itself upon to-day. Give the man whose hands have tossed The corn-seed to the mellow soil. Whoso feet the foreet depths have crossed. Whose brow is nobly crown'd with toil THE HIDDEN HAND. BY EMMA D. E. N. SOUTHWORTH, A*THOR OF “THE BRIDE OF AN EVENING,” ‘’THU DESERTED WIFE, ETC., ETC., ETC. [continued.] “ ‘Wave you got through V asked ! the man at the door, rapping irnpa-! tiently, •No, no,’ said I, as directed. ‘‘He resumed his tramping up and down, and I went back to my patient -he beckoned me to come close, and whispered— “’Save my child! the living one li mean! hide her! oh, bide her from him! When he demands the babe, give him the poor little dead one—he cannot hurt that ! And he will not know there was another. Oh! hide and save my child.’ “Master, I was used to queer doings, but this was a little th« queerest. But if I was to conceal that second child in order to save it, it was necessary to stop its mouth, for it was squalling like a wild cat, So I took a vial of paragoric from my pocket and give it a drop, au 1 it went off to sleep like an angel. I wrapped it up waim and lay it along with my shawl and bonnet, in a dark corner. Just then the man wrapped again. “ ‘Come in, master,’ said I. “ ‘No, bring the babe,’ he said. “ I took up the dead infant. Its j j mother kissed its brow and dropped I I tears upon its little cold face; and I I j carried it to the man outside. “ ‘ls it asleep V the willain asked me ■ ‘‘‘Yes, master,’ said I, as I put it,: well wrapped up, in his arms, ‘very! sound asleep.’ j “ ‘So much the better,' said the knave, walking away. “ I bolted the door and went back to my patient. With her free hand she | seized mine and pressed it to her lips, land then held up her left hand, pointed jto the wedding ling upon her third fin ger. “ ‘Draw it off and keep it,’ she said ; . ‘conceal the child under your shawl, and take her with yon when you go ; i save her and your fortune shall be 1 made.’ “I declare, master, I hadn't time to think, before I heard one of them wretches rap at the door. “ ’Como ! get ready to go,’ lie said. “ She also beckoned me. 1 hastened to hur. With eager whispers and im- i ploring gestures she prayed me to take } Tier ring and save her child. I “ ‘But you,' said I—‘who is to attend j I y OU V “‘I do not know nor carol Save her !’ “Tho rapping continued. I ran to the corner where I bad left my things, il put on my bonnet, made a sort of 'sling around my neck of the silk hand ikercher. opend the large part of it like a hammock and laid the little sleeping babe there. Then I folded my big ‘shawl around my breast and nobody iany the wiser. The rapping was very impatient j “‘I am coming,’ said I. j “‘Remember! whispered the poor ‘girl j “‘I will,’ said I, and went and open ed the door. There stood t’other wil 1 - lain with his head covered with black 1 Icrape. I dreamt of nothing but black headed demons for six months after ward. “ ‘Are you ready?’ says be. “ ‘Yes, your worship,’ says I. “ ‘Come along, then.’ | “ Aud binding auother silk handker chief round my eyes, he lead me along, i ‘ ‘lnstead of my mule a carriage stood ‘near the horse block. “ Get in,’ sayß be, holding the pistil to my ears byway of an argument, j I got in. He jumped up upon the driver’s seat, and we drove like the wind. In another direction from which we come, in course, for there was no carriage road there. The carriage I whirled along at such a rate it made me , quite giddy. At last it stopped again. | The man in the mask got down and 'opened the door. “ Where are you taking me ? says I. “ * Be quiet,’ says he, ‘or ’ and j with that he put the pistil to my cheek, i ordered me to get out, take the ban dage from my eyes, and walk before him. I did so, and saw dimly that we were in a part of the country that I was never at before. We were in a dark road through a thick forest. On (the left side of the road, in a clearing, ■‘stood an old house; a dim light was burning in a lower window. “ * Go on in there,’ said the wiilian, putting the pistil to the back of my i head. As the door stood ajar I went in ! to a narrow, dark passage, the man all the while at my back. He opened a door on the left side, and made me go into a dark room. Just then the unfor jtunate child, that had been moving ‘restlessly began to wail ! Well it might, poor starved thing ! “ What's that ?” says the miscreant, under his breath and stopping short. “ ‘lt aint nothing, sir,’ says I, and ‘ hush-h-h ’to the baby. But the poor little wretch raised a squall, “ ‘What is the meaning of this?’ says he. ‘ Where did the ohild come from ? Why the demon don't you speak ?’ and wilh that be seized me again by the scruffof the neck and shook me. *• ‘ Oh, Master, for the love of heav en don’t,’ says I, ‘this is only a poor, uufoi tunate infantas its parients wanted to get outen the way, and hired me to take care on. And I have had it wrap ped up under my shawl all the time cept when 1 was in your house, when I put it to sleep in the corner. “ * Humph ! and you had that child concealed under your shawl when I first stopped yon in the woods!’ “ * In course. Master,’ says I. “ ' Whose is it?” “ 1 Master,’ says I, it’s—it's a dead secret !’ for 1 haddent another lie ready. “ He broke out into a rude, scornful laugh, and seemed uot half to believe me aud yet uot to Caire about question ing me too closely. He made me sit down then in tho dark, and went out and tnrned the key on me. I wet my finger with the paragoric and put it to j the baby lips to quiet its paiDs of hun j ger. Then I heard a whispering in the next room. Now my eyesight never was good, but to make up for it I be lieve I had the sharpest ears that ever was, and I don’t think anybody could have heard that whispering but me. I saw a little glimmer of light through the chinks that showed me wlieie the i door was, aud so I creaped up to it and put my ear to the key hole. Still they , whispered so low that no ears could o’ heard them but my sharp ones. They was talking about selling some woman and child. I should ’av been oneasy if they hadn't called the woman Kate My willain offered ’em for fifty dollars, but t’other willain wouldn't give a cent. He told my willair is he called Cap- i tain, that he’d hike em off his hands and no more. And then they threaten ed each other, and went out o’ my hearm’. And in the mornin’ the new willain came and took me and the child off in a shay and drove down a long way ] to the beach, and hailed a wessel on the' riyer and took U 3 aboard and sold us toj ! the captain right afoM E” eyes, and ; i ! then went ashore, and we was carried; j off out to sea, though I cried, and;; ’splained, arid apostnlated all the time.; i “Now. sir, come a strange providence; ‘ which the very thoughts of it might I convert a heathen! We had been tol' sea about five days when a dreadful ' storm riz. I tell yon, master, that 1 looked like the wrath of God ! I hug- j j ged the baby to my breast and went to' • praying as hard as ever I could pray. “ Presently I felt an awful shock, as; j if Heaven and earth had come together and then everybody screaming, ‘She's ( struck ! She's struck !’ I felt the ves- 1 sel trembling like a live creetur, and the water a pouring in everywhere. I * hugged the baby and scrambled up the I companion way to the deck. It was 1 pitch dark, and I heard every nmn < rushing toward one side of the wessel. I “A flash of lighting, that made f everything as bright as day again, l ' showed me that they were all taking toj J the boat. I rushed after, calling to them to save me and the baby. But no! one seemed to hear me ; they were all; j too busy trying to save themselves and ; ' I keep others out of the boat, and cursing, 1 ; and swearing and hollering that there * was no more room—that the boat would be swamped, and so on. The end was,! ' Ghat all who could crowd into the boati j did so. And me and the baby and a!! I poor sailor lad and the black cook were' left behind to perish. “ But master, as it turned out. we as! j was left to d : e, were the only ones; ( saved. We watched after that boat ! with longing eyes, though we could only see it when the lightning flashed, j And every time we saw’ it it was farther off. At last, master, a flash of light- | ning showed ns the boat as far off as, . ever we could see her, capsized and beaten hither and thither by the wild ( waves—itscrew had peri shod. .“ Mareter, as soon as the sea had ; swallowed up that wicked captain and . crew, the wind died away, the waves; - fell, and the storm lulled—just as if it; had done what it was sent to do and i was satisfied. The wreck—where we| ‘ poor forlorn ones stood—the wreck that! ! had shivered and trembled with every i wave that struck it—until wo had fear- i ! ed it would break up every minute. be-| came still and firm on its sandbar, as a: | house on dry land. “ Daylight came at last. And a lit - j ; tie after sunrise we saw a sail bearing; 'down upon us We could not signal' ; the sail, but by the mercy of Provi-j dence she saw us and lay to, and sent off a boat, and picked us up and took us on board—me and the baby, and the! cook and the sailor lad, “ It was a foreign vessel, and we| could not understand a word they said, ■ nor they ns. All we could do was by ! signs. But they were very good to us, dried our clothes aud gave us breakfast, and made us lie down and rest. And then put about and continued their J course. The sailor lad—Herbert Grey-j son—soon found out aud told me they! were bound for New York. And, in' (fact, master, in about ten days we made) ' that port. “Well, master, I aint a gwine to both cr you with telling you of how I toiled i aud struggled along in that great city —first living out as a servant,and after i wrrds renting a room and taking a wash ing and ironing—aye! how I toiled and !st ruggled—for—ten —long —years, ho j ping for the time to come when I should be able to return to this neighborhood where I was known, aud expose the, evil deeds of them willians, and for! this cause lived on toiling and strug ; 'gling, and laying up money penny by j penny. “ No one ever helped me but the lad Herbert Greyson Whenever he came from sea, ho sought me out, and made a little present to me or Cap. “Cap, marster, wits Capitola, the child. The reason I gave her her that namo was because on that ring I had drawn from the masked mother’s hand were the two names—Eugene—Capi tola. “Well, master, the last time Herbert Greyson came home, he gave live dol lars, and that, with wiiat I had saved was enough to pay mv passage to Norfolk “.l left my little Cap in the caie of the people of the house—she was big enough to pay for her keep iu work— | and I took passage for Norfolk. When, I got there I fell ill, spent all my mon-' ey, and was last taken to the poor! house. Six months passed away before I was discharged, and then six more before I had earned aDd saved money i to pay my way on here. “ I reached here three days ago, and found a wheat field growing where my 'cottage tire use to burn, and nil my old j cronies dead, all except old Hat, who has received and given me shelter. Sir, my story is done —make what you can' of it,” said the invalid, sinking down iu her bed as if uttely exhausted. Old Hurricane, whose countenance; had expressed emotions as powerful as they were various while listening to! this tale, now arose, stepped cautiously: to the door, drew the bolt, and coming; back, bent his head aud asked — “ What more of tliechild ?” “Cap, sir? I have not heard a word; of Cap since I left her to try and hunt out her friends ; but any one interested, in her might inquirefor herat Mrs. Sim mons’, laundress, No. 8 Rag Alley.” I “ You say the names upon that ring were—Eugene—Capitola?” “Yes, sir, they were.” “Have you that ring about yon?” “No, master. I thought it wav best, j case of accidents, to leave it with the! child.” ‘‘Have you told her any part of tU.bej strange history?” ‘ “No master nor hinted it; she was too young for such a confidence.” “ You were right. Had she any mark about her person by which she could be identified ?" “ Yes, master, a very strange one. In : the middle of her left palm was the < perfect image of a crimson hand, about half an inch in length. There was also another. Herbert Greyson, to please mo, marked upon her fore arm in India ink her name and birthday—’Capitola, Oct. 31st 1832.’ ” “Right. Now tell me, toy good soul, j do you know, from what you were ena* bled to observe, what house that was f where Capitola was born?'’ “I am on my oath. No, sir, Ido 1 not know ; but— •” ; “You suspoct ?” The woman nodded. “It was ,” said old Hurricane : stooping and whispeiinga name that 1 was heard by no one but the sick wo man. She nodded again, with a look of in tense meaning. “ Does your old hostess here, Hat, know or suspect anything of this sto ry ?” inquired Major Warfield. “Not a word ! No soul but yourself has heard it!” “That is rightl Still be discreet ! If ; you would have the wicked puuished , and the inuocent protected, be silent, and wary. Have no anxiety about the i girl. What man can do for her will 1j do and quickly ? And now, good crea-1 ture, day is actually dawning. You j must seek repose. And I must call the j parson in a»d return home. I will send Mrs. Condiment over with food, wine, J medicine, clothing, and every comfort that your condition requires,” said Old Hurricane, rising, and calling in thr clergyman, with whom he soon aftee left the hut for home. They reached Hurricane Hall in time for an early breakfast, which the as tonished housekeeper had prepared, and for which their night’s adventures had certainly given them a good appetite. Major Warfield kept his word, and as soon as breakfast was over he dispatch ed Mr. Condiment with a carriage filled with provisions for the sick woman. But they were not needed. In a couple of hours the housekeeper returned with the intelligence that the old nurse was dead. The false strength of mental ox citement that had enabled her to tell so long and dreadful a tale, had been the last flaring up of the flame of life that almost immediately went out. “I am not sorry, upon the whole, for now I shall have the game in my own hands!” mattered Old Hurricane tojliim self— “Ah ! Gabrielle Le N<jjr ! better you had cast yourself dowu from the highest rock of this range and been dashed to pieces below, than have thus fallen into iny power.” So far we have followed the lovely heroine aud her friends; but the fore going is all that we can publish in our columns.
