ITH. a FORREST. < ’'Vhat on earth arc you thinking about, Will. \ou look like a statue, moping here, only star ues don’t smoke cigars! Come, I want you to beau me down to old Deacon Jones’ to-night. And Miss Vcnton tossed back about live hundred glossy curls, with a quick motion of her head, and catching her lover's book from his relaxed Angers, flung it over the fence into a cluster of currant-bushes, with a laugh. ‘You arc so abrupt, Bell—so startling,’ said the young gentleman, shrugging his shoulders pettishly; ’what is the use of frightening a fel low out of his senses ? ‘Well, then, Mr. William Fitzallnn, can I have the pleasure of your company this evening ?’ said Bell, demurely, drawing down the comers of her cherry mouth and lotting her long silken lashes droop over the laughing eyes. ’Is that the way young Indies talk in New York Fitzallan laughed in spite of himself. ‘Little Bell, what a wild spirit you are,’ lie said. ‘But really, love, you are so eccentric in your manners—couldn’t you soften down the icast hit in the world l 1 It’s too had you can’t see a little more of le beau moth/c ; this country village with its raw-boned lads and sun-borncd girls, is no jilncc to learn the requirements of society.’ Boll put out her lip. preparatory to going in to a bewitching tit of sulks, whifh only had the effect of making her look ten times as levelv as before. ’A slimmer at Newport, now—couldn't your father be persuaded. Bell ? I should be happy to lu> your escort, and I flatter myself, I know one or two fellows of fashion there, to say noth ing of several line women. It would improv your country manners vastly.’ Mr. Fitzallan pulled uji his shirt collar, and gave his moustache a conceited twitch ns lie said this, while Bell looked uj> somewhat quizc zically at him. ’So you’re not satisfied with mv lout ensem ble, A\ ill ?’ There's no denying that yon are an uncom monly sweet little creature. Bell, but there’s too much—pray pardon me if the truth seems rude—too much of the rural districts about you. To say truth, 1 should be horribly mortified to introduce you to any of my New York acquaint ances, until you were somewhat toned down.— You are so verv - demonstrative—so green, in fact.' ‘That odious Columbia College lias complete ly spoiled you! sobbed Bell, flushing up, and ready to burst into tears. ‘You used to think inc an angel, before you went there—at all events you said so half a dozen times a day.’ ‘True, my dear,’ said Mr. Fitzallan, intent on adjusting his camcostud, ‘hut commingling with the world sometimes induces us to alter our opinions, you know.’ Bell turned red and white—averted her face, poutingly, ami, in short, was the prettiest im- j>crsonntinn of nn offended beauty that heart could wish, for just about two seconds. At the end of that time, Fitzallnn, secure in his domin ion over her heart, [disscd his arm around her waist with a confident smile, drew her to him, put his hand under her chin, so as to turn her lace towards his own. Woman is naturally a forgiving little creature, ain’t she ? And the ujisliot of the whole matter was, that Bell Ver non's sweet mouth broke out into smiles, and she nestled close up lo tiic young sprig of Co lumbia College, like a tiny dove. We don’t blame him for giving her waist a small squeeze extra—do you, reader ? •Well, then, Will,’ she laughed, ‘lie it as you say. I’ll go to Newport this summer: you shall bo my escort, together with old Aunt Jemshn, nnd I’ll “polish up’ after the similitude of any number of comer stones, Good gracious! won’t I come liack the very pink of politeness' back of her chair.

He wasn't half good enough for old Judge Vernon's beau tiful daughter, hut then he was the only young man in the village, except Silas Jones, who had only one eye, nnd Pelatiah Johnson, who had ml hair, and squinted.

Well, they went t j Newport—o!u Aunt* Jc* ruslia, Mr. fitzallan, nnd Miss Vernon < and the first Bell knew she was the rage. So beautiful little creature had not dawned on the New port horizon for many a long year; her fresh |iiquancics were quoted everywhere; the blaze dandies of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue fell prostrate at her feet, and wherever the critic little fairy went, thither also Aowetl the tide of fashion. Adolphus Theodore De Courey of Boston, broke out into an absolute suialI-|K>.\ of poetry about her, and kept the door-sill of her ajiartment jierjK'tually wedged up with sonnets in her honor. Fitzgerald Sikes, of Philadelphia, darkly intimated his intention of immediate sui cide, unless young Sytnkens, of Charleston, lelt off asking her to ride. Howard PicrjHint j»id tic tnilnr'- liill iii a fit nfidisi’iicc iif mind, caused way, and courteously sauntered off when Fite* allan approached. •Bell, dear, I should be glad to have you drive on the sands' with me this evening!’ he said with his most lovely-like air. Tm sure I should be delighted,’ murraered Bell, bending her head very low, over a bunch of moss roses, and mercilessly rending -their fragrant jietals, ‘but 1 have just promised Capt St John!’ •Isabel!’ groaned Fitzallan, turning pale. ‘Is tills right? is it fair to me?’ •I don’t see what you have to do with it!’ said Bell, suddenly Bring up. ‘Pray don’t interest yourself in my aflairs so much. Please to re member that there never was any formal en gagement between us!’ Fitzallan left the jiiazza. anil liegan to wonder which was (he shortest way of committing sui cide! His reverie was speedily broken by the whirl of carriage wheels, and {lie bright face of Bell, in close proximity to the dark hair of the naval eajitain [dashed |iast him like light ning ! That evening Bell was not in-the saloon. Fitzallan rushed about, hither and thither, in quiring her whereabouts, but without success, until chancing to blunder into a quiet little side room, he came upon her. And not alone—for there close beside her on the sofa, her head on his shoulder, his arm round her waist, sat—Cnjitnin St. John! He started lack! ‘Bell’ he exclaimed in hor ror-striken accents. •Well, sir,’ .siid St. John, coolly rising, “hav you any commands for the young lady?’ •You—yon audacious jxrson ?' stammered Fizallan, ‘what—what does this mean ?’ *My dear sir,’ said Capt- St. John, *1 should !«• extremely sorry tojiiteh you out ofthe win dow, but such will lie my jminfiil duty, unless you voluntarily cease to annoy my wife with your presence. Your wife !’ ‘Yes sir, my wife, to whom 1 was married ibis morning. I refer you to the clergyman for all particulars. It is rather sudden, to be sure, but Mr. Fitzallan. 1 ant convinced, is the very last person in the world to blame me for wish- g to make sure ofmy prize!’ Fitzallan turned very red. The witch! she aid told hint everything! ‘Miss Vernon,’ he said solemnly, ‘I —I moan Miss St. , no I don’t—I "mean Bell; yon came here under my escort, did you not ?’ ‘IVell, you can go home whenever you jilcase; 1 don’t need yon anv longer,’ said Bell, lyly. ■1 only wish to ask one question,’ forlornly sighed the discarded love. ’Did you not love me once ?’ The reader must not blame Bell—she pitied jHior Fitzallan, hut she was a true woman, and ouldn't help smiling as she demurely said, “I fancied so once—but I was so green then, and it would have been so mortifying to you to introduce me to your New York acquaintan ces, and besides, commingling with the world sometimes induces us to alter our opinions, you know?’ Fitzallan retired prccipitely, with a cold sweat bursting on his brow! Two years have passed since the occurrence of these events. Captain SL John and his lovely wife are the happiest of jieoplc, hut we’re sorry to say Fit zallan has subsided into asour- tempered batehelor. He is very misanthropic, and exceedingly averse to ‘society,’ and if there’s any jilocc on earth lie cordially hates and abom inates. it is Newport! The Kansas Cold Fie Ids. IVashisgtos, Monday.

The explorers hare found gold on the Arkansas, on the heads of the Kansas, and on the south fork of the Platte River, embracing an extent of country of more than 300 miles. The richest mines yet found areon Cherry Creek, a tributary of the South Platte, directly north of Pike’s Peak. Gov. Denver has not yet heard of quartz veins, but the liest information would seem to indicate a great similarity between these From the New York Tribune. BURNING OF TIIE AUSTRIA 530 LIVES LOST. OXLY 67 PERSOXS SAVED. Our fears for the Austria, as expressed in yes terday’s issue were well founded. During the morning the following brief announcement was received, and immediately issued in an extra Tribune Halifax, Monday, Sept. 27. 1858. The unfortunate steamer was the Austria.

Uirk Lotus, from Liverpool, arrived in Halifax Harbor on Sunday afternoon with twelv of the sixty-seven surviving 'passengers of the steamship Austria, burned at sea September 13, in lat. 45 01, lou. 41 30, taken from the bark Maurice on the. 14th. The agent of the Associated Press immediately boarded the Lotas, and obtained the following particulars: The following i: the statement of Charles mil iibews. of esc LASH. I took jKLssage at Soutliaiiijitoii on the 4th in the steamship Austria, Captain Heydtmami, which left Hamburg on the 2d. We sailed at 5 p. in.; the evening being a littlemisty, we in consequence anchored between the Isle of Wight and the main land; sailed again at 4 o’clock on tho following morning. In weighing anchor an unfortunate accident occurred, by which one ol' the crew lost his life. Owing to some misinan agement the anchor ran out, whirling the csip- stan round with terrible force, and hurling the men in all directions. Two were severely in jured and one thrown overboard. He is suj>- posed to have been instantly killed, its he never rose to the surface. From the time the ship was laid on her course we experienced strong westerly gales. On the 12th the weather wa: mono favorable, and on the 13th a speed of eleven knots had been attained, and all were in high hopes of reaching New-York by the 18th. At n little after 2 o’clock p. In. 1 was on the quar ter-deck. I saw a dense volume of smoke burst from the after entrance of the steerage. Some women ran aft, exclaiming, “The ship is on tire, wliat will become of us ?" The ship was instantly put at half speed, at which she contin ued until the magazines exploded, from which I infer the engineers were instantly suffocated. I only walked from where I was on" the quarter deck to the waist of the shiji, when I saw the flames breaking through the lights amidshijis. As the ship was head to the wind, the tire trav eled with fearful rapidity. I then went to the man at the wheel and told him to jmt the vi sel with her side to the wind. He hesitated probably did not understand me, us lie was a native of Hamburg. I then got a German gen tleman to speak to him. At this time 1 saw sonic persons letting down the boat on the port side of the quarter-sleek. AVliat became of the boat I don’t know, but think she was crushed under the screw. I went to let a boat over from the starboard side of the quarter-deck, but the moment wc laid our hands on the ropes, there were so many peojde who crowded into it that we could not lift it off the blocks. We there fore left it for a few minutes, until flip people got out, when we retumeil, and hunched it over the side of the ship, when, the people all rushing into it again, it desiwnded with great violence into die water, and was instantly swamper!, all the peojile being washed out excepting three, who held on to the sides. We then let down a r«j>c, and pulled up one person, who proved to lie the steward. Another, in the act of lieing hauled uj>, was strangled by therojH'. The fire now came on too fiercely to attempt to get uji any more from the swamped tsait. All the first cabin passengers were on the pooji, with the ex ception of a few gentlemen, who must have been smothered in the smoking-room. Many of the second cabin passengers were also on the jiooji, but a number of them got shut into their cabins by the fire. Sonic of them were pulled uj> thro - mines and the lirsf discoveries hi California.

It was absurd—it was prepos- tcious—in short, it was mad&ess ! Bell liked it, however. St John danced well —he did not step on Iter toes as Will sometimes did, nor dash blindly against every- other couple on the floor, and when he brought her to her place, flashed and smiling, she turned demurely to Fitzallan, and lisped out “don’t yon think my country manners arc improving vastly ?’ He was silent—what could he say ? The next day, and the next, matters grew worse ind worse- St. John and Bell flirted in the most open manner. The young A ir- irinian was evidently violently in lore, and She belle encouraged him with unmistakablo smiles. Fitzallan grew desperate. ‘Well, I have got myself into a pretty sernpe- be pondered, furiously pacing hts room « hy couldn’t I have been satisfied before.

It would, ho adds, bcaavisablotosend nit some competent persons to examine the mines and rejxjrt the facts in connection with them. The Acting-Commissioner ol the General Land Office, to-day submitted to tho President for his signature, eleven patents of lands enuring un der the grants of September, 1850; one in the Milan District, Missouri: six in the Helena Dis trict, Arkansas, and four in Florida; containing in tlic aggregate, 2.102.571 acres of swamp lands to these States, Judge Bowlin returned to Washington this morning, to await his final in structions, before setting out for Paraguay.

Interesting to Newspaper Pkoprietous— < Inc of the courts of the State of Indiana recent ly made a decision which is of interest to all newspaper proprietors throughout the I’nion. A controversy existed relative to a charge for advertising between the Commissioners of llam ilton county and the Patriot newspaper. It was held by the Judge that “the published terms of newspapers constitute a contract. . If work is given to newspaper publishers, without a special contract contravening the published terms, the publisher can charge and receive ac cording to the terms so published. It is not necessary to prove wliat the work cost or was worth; the publishers have a right to lix the estimate value of their columns, and if so fixed, no other question need bo asked, but the pricc tlms charged can lie recovered.” Going Snacks. Not long ngo, in a neighboring city, as a butch er stood at his stall selling meat, he saw a man stoop down and jiiek something uj>. “What have you got there ?’’ asked the butcher.— The follow said, “It looks like money.” On examination, it proved to lie a tcn-dollar bill. “Supjiose,’* said the butcher, “it is one I drojqicii when making i-iuingc, a little while ago." To which tho tinder rejilied : "1 think 1 ought to have one-haff for, had it tiot ^ic«n for ine, you would not have seen it again.” The butcher, knowing it not to be his bill, thought he could do no less than to comply with tho fellow’s request; he therefore took a five dollar bill out of his jjockct-jiook and gave it to him. taking the ten himself. Soon afterward the butcher was purchasing some goods in a store, and offered the bill in pay ment to the storekcejicr, who pronounced it counterfeit.—The butcher was surprised, and not overwefl pleased; hut on considering, thought the best thing he could do would be to store the tcn-dollar note away in a safe place and say noth ing about tho way in which lie had overreached himself A Scgoemjyb Incident. Robert Morris, col ored, recently bargained for a residence in Cary- villc, Chelsea, Massachusetts, for which he was to pay $5000; but the fact coming to tlic cars of some of the inhabitants of that locality, they sent to tho owner of the estate a remonstrance against Morris settling there. The owner of the house felt the force ofthe remonstrance, and the result is that Morris cannot have the estate. The Boston Evening Gazette, from which we gather these facts, says that .“the opposers of Morris arc those wlio have been most in sympathy with Kansas, nnd most forward in movements sym pathizing with the enslaved. ’ ’—Boston Courier. lie extricated.

In consequence of the crowd Hut f man had deserted l.is post, and that the vessel being left to herself, headed to the wind <>i her ® ,V;.. utc scene on the «as indescribable and tr»Jj- heart rending. Passengers wens rushing frantically t<) and fro—husbands seeking their wives, wives in search of their husbands, relatives broking after relatives, mothers lamenting the loss of their children, some wholly jiaralyzed by fear, others niadiy crying to lie saved; but a few jierfrctly calm ami collected. The flames jiressed so closely ujioii them, that many jumped into the sea, relatives clasped in each other's anus, leaped over and met a watery grave. Two girls, supposed to he sisters, jumped over, ami sank kissing each other. A missionary and wife leaped into the sea, together, and tlig stewardess and assistant steward, arm in arm, followed.— One Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine chil dren, four of them girls, made his wifo jump in, then blessed his six eldest children, made them jumji in one after the other, and followed them with an inlant in his own arms. L aliout tin’s time, was standing outside the bulwarks, hold ing on by the davits, leaning out to avoid the flames, w hich were leaping towards me. J saw a swainjted boat under me, sjiinning by a rojie still attached to the ship. As the oars were tied in her, I thought, if I could get to her, i would be enabled to save myself ami some others. I let myself down by a rojK“, passing over a man who was clinging to it, hut who refused to come with me; I took out a jienknifr to cut the tackle; the large blade broke, and I then severed it with the small blade. The ship passed ahead As the screw ajijiroaehed I found the boat drawn toward it. I tried to keen the Ixint off, but the screw caught and capsized her over me. 1 dived away from the ship and came to the surface near a lioat which was keel upward; I got on her, and bv pressing on one side, with the .i- sistancc of a wave she righted hut was still swamped. The oars had been knocked out by the screw. Tho only thing I could find in her to jiaddle with was some laths nailed together as a sheathing for the sides. When I looked around, the ship was n quarter of a mile away from me. 1 could see the ladies and gentlemen jumping off the jxiop into the water in two’s and threes, some of 'he hdies in flames. Several hesitated to leap from the burning ship until the last moment, as the height was twenty-twofeet, and were only at length compelled to throw themselves off to avoid a more jiainful death.— In half an hour not a soul was to lie seen on the poop. I pulled after the ship and jiiekcd up n German who was swimming strongly; 1 got him beside me on the *>oat, and wc paddled af ter the ship with tho laths; I now saw a vessel under sail ajijiroaching; she reached the steam er about 5 p. in.; we continued pulling toward them, and about balf-jiast seven o’clock, after being five hours in the water, got witliin hail of the sailing vessel, which put off a boat and took as on Ixianl She mured to lx? the French bark Maurice, Capt Ernest Renaud, of Nantes, bound from Newfoundland for the Isle of Bour bon, with fish. She Iiad, up to that time, res cue*! fortr passengers of the burning steamer, chiefly taken off the bowsprit though a few were picked up floating around. At about 8 o’clock one of the metallic bolts came uji, with about 23 persons, including the first and third officers; afterward three or four men were picked up, floating on a piece of tbc broken boat The sec ond officer was taken uj>, having been swimming, with nothing to float him, for six homs. The second and third officers were severely burned; one male passenger was burned frightfully, and some other male passengers'slightly. There were but six women saved, three of whom were burned, one in a shocking manner. Captain Renami acted with the utmost kindness. He ive clothes as hf as he could furnish them to e suffering passengers, and acted as nurse, doctor and surgeon to the burned people, dress ing the wounds of tlic females with a delicacy and tenderness that winced a benevolent and amiable dispositioa • I did not sec an officer of the ship during the fire, and am certain there was not one of them or tin. crew on the poop, except a man at the wheel for a short time. I understood tliat when the Captain heard of tho fire, he rushed on deck without a cap, and when he saw the flames, ex claimed, “We are all lost.” lie tried to get out a boat, which, when let down, was swamjied, and he, whether accidentally or not I do not know, fell into the sea, and was soon left far be hind. The fourth officer was hi this boat, He cut her loose from the davits; she was carried under the screw and smashed, and several in her drowned; three or four men escaped on a fragment and were jncked up by the Maurice before stated. About tlic same time one me tallic life-boat was let down from the port flow nnd swamped, but got cleared away with about 33 persons in her, including the first and third officers and several women. The men in this boat capsized her two or three times, in trying to clear her of water. Ten persons were thus drowned, including some women. They after ward trailed her out with life-preservers cut in two, and jndled to tin; Maurice, having picked up two or three" jrassengers before reaching the bark. Altogether there were 67 souls taken to the Maurice during the night. A Norwegian Irark came.up with the steamer tlic next morn ing, and a boat was observed going around the burning sliiji. They may have ) licked up a few jx'rsons, but only a very few. The Maurice had no communication with the Norwegian. At a bout 7 o’clock the Maurice sailed to Fayal to deposit the rescued passangers. At about 2 o’clock the same afternoon, she fell in with the lark Lotus, Capt. Trety. of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, from Liverpool for Halifax. As I was anxious to get on British territory, Capt Trefv kindly gave me passage. Ho was also anxious to take all the American citizens, but there was ;uch a rush of foreigners into the boi ts that only one load of eleven could be got off and even several of these were foreigners. The tire is known-to have arisen from very culjmblc neg ligence of some of the crew. The Captain and surgeon considered it expedient to fumigate the steerage with burning tar. The operation was to be performed by the boatswain under tho superintendence of the fourth officer. The boat swain heated the end of a chain to diji into tar to produce smoke. Tlic end became too hot to hold, and he let it drop ujxm the deck, to which it set fire. Tlic- tar upset, and immediately all about was in flames. A feeble attempt was made to extinguish it. but without effect. There was nothing at hand to meet such an emergen- Xhc rescued passengers saved nothing but the clothes on their backs, and even the grea ter jiart of these were tom off and otherwise lost. Six hundred souls were supposed to bo on board, including many women and children. Mr. Brew is the only British subject saved. He ; in tlie British civil service, and on his way to ritish Columbia. He will proccecd to Boston the steamer Eastern State on Tuesday, en ute for New York. Tlic Congo Negroes. I'OlMiEsroSDKXCE OF THE HERALD. CHAI.ESTON, Sejlt. 22, 185s. Departure of the Niagara for the Coast of Afri ca—Horrible Condition of the Liberated -Ye- roes—Difficulties Attending their Embarka tion—Physical and Mental Prostration oj Those Shipped—Number of the Demi and Dying, tfc., &je. The Niagara sailed yesterday with her cargo of Africans. She arrived here on Saturday af ternoon, after standing head on through a terri ble storm. The following day (Sunda)) was jient by the United States Marshal and Mr. Itainey in getting tli*> negroes on board the frig- which lay eighteen miles down the bay.— It took six hours to’ embark them, 271 in num ber, of which forty-five were women and girls, the males being mostly boys. The sea ran very high. By the aid of a der rick and guy, the little steamer Gen. Clinch ly- fifty feet astern, they were swung up in a -nal bucket, four at a film-. It teas a dangerous and exciting operation. The Marshal, 1 fistriet Attorney ami Mr. Rainey emtrarked and disem- irked in the same way. The negroes seemed delighted "to bo on so large a vessel, but evidently regarded their ship ment as only a new phase of the slave trade.—- Being hungry, having had only a little rice all day, a sailor gave one of them a beef bone, which smm arousal the whole pack, large and siioal 1 , into a contest and a tight. They raised a terri ble rumpus for a while. The only means of managing them is by giving them into the care of Franco. oi:e ofthe slaver's crew. .'y) , *)i-li*j;nrsi- trol or them. The District Attorney consented to let him accompany them, as there was no agent of tlic Colonization Society uu board. "Tt proved a most fortunate circumstance tliat Mr. Jtxlncy >j>5!ce Portuguese. Aram .-e-i gToes sjx'iik it, especially three urSfour who are recognized as rulers among them. Mr. Rainey |K;ak freely with them and with Franco, and thus they obey his directions as implicitly if he was their chief. This happens well, lxith for them anil for the jhip, as this gentle man’s duties consist not in managing them, but in receiving them officially in Liberia from the ship and banding them over lotlie Colonization Society, as well as sceing'tlie contract with that society and the laws pertaining to the whole subject, fully executed. Three hundred and six were originally landed, of these thirty-five have died.- Although the miserable wretches look like walking skeleton-, or rather like .starved monkeys, yet they have improved greatly since their arrival here. The habit of wearing ^calico or flannel around tlic loins has imjrarted to them sonic ideas of mod esty. A few have hydrocele, some dropsy, two scrota! (depfiautiasLs; several opthalmia, and two or three dozen, diarrhaai. Two were left in the fort dead, and two more dying. They all sat huddled up like wild animals; some with’ their heads in their hands between their knees. God only knows Ix>w much they have suffered, and liow gladly they must have welcomed death!-— Yet there" arc fiends enough in this world to enact these horrors over and over again a thous and times. f • The frigate had no jirovisions for them on board, and was detained here to get theta The United 8talcs Marshal and Mr. Rainey acted no bly throughout, notwithstanding much opposi ti"ti.
