It is a desolate [ looking place, no tree*, not even a shrub, I ouly on all sides the white sand glistening j beneath the long course gras- which! wave above it, and the blue Baltic bouii- j ded by the Itor zoo ; now quiet as if a i speli was upon its waters, and then again 1 dash ng it-eif u da; k angry-looking waves j upon the opposing shores The inliitbi | ants of Caristudt are an old fashioned, j Lto-pituble people, secluded from the! world, uud knowing little of the sad and ■ enable dramus which of en startle and asiound the inhabitants ol a populous ci ty In this village the mysterious event wh;elt we are to narrate, transpired. It was iu the Autumn of the year ll —teat the old clergy man of Caristudt was seated q uetly at his study It whs near midnight. The lights in I the village hail long been extinguished,! and not a sound was heard save the deep; roaring of the waves as they broke upon ‘ ihe shore. The night.was dark —one of those whit hwe all remember when the l darkness made us shudder involuntarily, as if it concealed some uend human or in lerual, who w. s present to work us evil. I lie embers tq on tbe hearth were h df j extinct, he lamp’s upon the table burned j iimly, and the ol I preacher raised himself j or, tire to his chamber to sleep. But ‘ upon the loi g winding stairs footsteps! were heard, and tne old men again seat ed himself, expecting that the door would be opened by a pu isliiem r who came to i request him to uttend at the bedside of a I dying sinner, to perform f r the dying the j rites which the Catholic church prescribes. | Die door oj emed, and two strangers on- j | cored. (he preachers saw bes re him | I two men ofc nimundk g aspect shrouded j !tu white mantles The latter of the tw,, [ addressed it in blandly : “bir preacher, we wish you to perform a marriage ceremony, the br.dat para wait you in the church ’’ Tne stranger held out a we 1 filed pnr.e as he spoke. The old m. n who was iucli ;el to bel.cve that he was dream ing, nt Idly demurred. ‘ Tlie law directs,” said ho, “ that the banns of the intended marriage siia 1 be published, and that the pr.est shall know the br dal pair who come to the alia'.'’ 1 he othtr stranger now spoke deliber ately but fi--reely ‘ air pre- chef, if you refuse to follow •os, your life shall atone for it, ’ at the same time presenting a j istul at the oid man’s breast. The old man without speak ng, dtess ed himsell in his priestly robes, aud toi -1 ,wed them. Rapidly and in silence j utey passed tinough the sleepitig village I u,wards ill ehureti As the old mutt ! nj.ploactied it, lie saw that it was bill iiainij ilgllted np Wueu tuey reached tbe door, his guides anuaged ins eyes, and bliudfo.ded he erueieu me ehurcit. As he entered, he ■ heard the suppressed murmur of .many | voices speak ng, as it appeared to him, in j an it, known tongue, and felt that lie was led t .rough a thick crowd of people who lie per e.ved fell back as he advanced. When tne bandages were removed, he found himself staudmg betore the altar wnere lie had o ten ministered The oid uian i*as bewildered at the events which ; were trat,spiring about him It seemed to him that the church was indeed filled witit a thick cro -'d of men, foreign in ap pearance, who now preserved a deathlike, sileuce. He looked around tor the bride, at the tar,her end of the church he tiio’t he saw tbe form of a woman, and a sltud dering came over him when he saw half way up the broad central aisle what seem ed to niiu a newly dug grave. The old mau threw himself upon a chai , and cov ered his face with his hands. The stem voice of the stranger who had first accos ted him aroused him, commanding him to pro eed with the marriage ceremony, The preacher raised himself and stood before the bridal pair who kueit at the. a tar, In the bridegroom he recognized the stranger who had first commanded his presence at the church Ho was a tail, firmly built matt, with dark hair and eyes, strougly marked features, and he had the air oi oue used to be obeyed. lie was dressed in a dress of green colored velvet adorned with jewels, aud upon his bieast a brilliant star glistened, behind him stood a mau of a gigantic stature with folded arms, motionless and iu silence -1 lie bride also was richly dressed iu blue coh red robes wbicb hung in grace , ful folds a.ouiid her delicate limbs On ! her brow was a traders brit'Jiftp’s,— ft A CUTIIKICK'S', GA., TUESDAY, NOVOJiUIi 4, I 15tt tlie face of the bride contrasted strangely with the magnificence of tier •ippar'el. Her face wore a deathlike as pect. her eyes were deep sunk in her head, her arms hung listhssly by her side, and her whole he ring was tini l of one over whom a fenr'ul destiny itnpcn s. Beside her .stood a large fierce looking j woman whom the preacher had before! observed At an impatient sign from tlie’ bridegroom, lie proceeded with the mar j riage rites ; ,ot a souri 1 was held but tbe deep breathing of the bride, l'lie j old man demanded the names of the brill ! al pair. ! “N* under and Theodora” was the j hoarse response of the bridegroom. ‘•'A ilt thon, .Nennder ,” continued he ! “take Theodora, kneeling by thy side, to J be thy w edde I wife ? ’ j With a voice which rang through tlie church, like the shriek of a dying man, ■ he answered— j “Yes.” “Wilt thou, Theodora, take Xeander to he thy wedded husband In a voice hodow and hardly audible, the bride answered — “I will.” The marriage ceremony was concluded; i the eves of the old man were again bound and he was led without the church ; his i first impul.-e was to seek aid from the vil i lag . but a presentiment of the learlul j tragedy to bo enacted, andadesiie to see j the end of these mysterious procedures, i held him ; and stationing himself in an angle of the church, he awaited the. end From within a confused sound, as of a ! multitude in 1 aid contention, came to his! ear ; then a fearful silence followed, which j was at leng.th broken by the report of a! pistol which rang through the church ;! j then fo.lowed as it were the sound of! shovels at ivtiik in the sand. In about a | quarter of an hour the lights wetc extin ! guished, :n and the who e multitude einerg j ing fiom the church, hastened noiselessly towards the sh re. The old man, worn with intense excitement, hi-tened to the village, amt rousing his neighbors, briefly ! narrated o them the events of the past j night. These simple people were bewildered Iby what they heard, and .-o improbable I and terrible did tlie o!d man’s story seem (to them, that t.iey were at first inclined I to bolinvo that he had lost Ilia reason. - I At last, however, they were persuaded to accompany him to the church. As th. y ascended the hill in the dim twilight which pret and a tlie day, they pi iveivcd a (urge vessel under full sail, s'nitdmg from li e shore low rds the north ; a.at their belief in their pastor’s st- rv s rength ened, when tiie'y found tmit the b li of the church door had been with tioleiice bn.-1,1 11 They en'ere-l the church, and by the direction of the old man, they proceeded to remove the ‘tone which covered the place where the grave had been dug. On removing it, low in tie grave, a richly adorned box disclosed itselt to the eyes of tlie gazers, With the assistance of Ids parishioners, t e pus lor raised <t from the grave and removed the cover ; his worst fears were realized. V\ ithm lay the bride, pale in death, yet a heaven y beauty dif fering itself over her features- arrayed in her 1 r dal dres-, But the diadem of bril liant- which had enciich and Inr bron , was gone -he hud ben shot through the lienr : thrilled with ho ror, the paity left j th church The pastor enjoined upon j ihose accompanying him, tlie most pro i found silence with regard to what they had seen He immediately laid the necessarv in formation before the proper authorities at Copenhagen, ami a suitable per-ou was sent to investigate tiie affair. But no races of tiie perpetrators of this dark murder, could be found. The only suppo sition wtdeli could be made, was that the murder might be connected in some way, with those conspiracies and resolutions which followed the drarii of Peter the Great, and Catharine his wife, But of thi, nothing could be determined with certainty— the whole matter has ever been shrouded iu deepest mystery. The honest fishermen of Corlstadt w ere filled with terror at the public announce ment of the strange event which had tran spired in their midst, and to this hay, the mothers of Corlstadt are wont in the glooin of tlie summer twilight, to relate to their shuddering children, the story of “ Tht ~\ly,tenous Wedding.' 1 Hons —We hear of no improvement whatever in hogs, says the Louisville Courier, for the approaching packing sea son.

All Add cos* T.i the citizens of Eufiuta, qnd the ad joining counties of Alabama and Gear gin An effort is now being tnndc to extend , the South-Western Railroad, by u branch j from Cuthbert , On., to Eufaula, a di | tance oi twenty-five mile ; tho under signed dee u it a proper occasion to ad id ress the citizens of Barbour, nnd adjoin ing comities of Alabama and Q .-orgia o:i the subject, aid by a fair elucidation of facts, presout to them the Vital import ance ‘ f aiding the enterprise, and t>y united effort, secure the advantages of a Railroad communication to the Atlantic In doing this, we propose dividing the subject into three distinct parts, viz : Ist. The security of the investment. 21 Iho difficulty and risk that Mer chants ore subjected to in the purchase of cotton, without facilities for reaching a good market, and trie consequent loss to the planter. ad. The interest and duty of the Far ming community of tiiis sec ion of country, to aid iu seeming this Rail Rond—the success of which will esiabl sh iu their own neighborhood not only good cotton market, hut also tv produce nnd provision Market for the sale of all surplus raised by them, Then to return to the fir-t propositi m. ‘‘The security of the Investment” For tliis we refer you to the accompanying Annual Report of the Com; any, show- i i ing that H per cent. ;ier annum, is declar- I led to the stockholders annually, and paid ; twice a year, that is every sx months, | j besides a reserved fund kept for repairs ; j iu addition to this, the business character and integrity of tlie South Western Rail lload, tire not excelled by any Company in the United states. K. R. Ctiyler, Eaq , the President of this Road, is also President of the great Central Road of Georgia, as well as President of the Rail lloud aud Banking C lnpiiuy - thus show ing the entire confidence of Lite ‘urge 1 coimne cial capitalists and other intere-ts of Georgia and Savannah, in li is manage ment. We therefore recommend the in vestment m stock of the South Western Road a- -a;e and prolitnhle, w th a lair piospectof til imately paying a largely, iucreasud divide and We now recur tt the second ‘proposi tion. “The disadvantages that Mer chants in your section of country are la boring under, and the consequent loss io die Farmer.” A Merchant purchasing cotton in any inland market, for instance Eu.atda, where there is tio d.Vect coin mtuii ntioii - ith the Atlantic market is siiiij. ct to the following incumbrances— He draws money at GO <ud 90 days, to pay lor tne cotton, then puts it iu store, jtuyi g pm Imps three months expenses of storage, together with insurance the same length of time. V\ herens, f there was a Railroad communication, the merchant would draw tus bill on Savannah at 10 days or even less—would purchase olie day aid forward the next, and by this muons would avoid nearly ah the interest, i suianee, and warehou-c account, and would lie thereby eunablcd to pay the tanner more for his cotton, and yet anise as much for himself a.- In- oTierwise Would have done, buying under the above dis advantage, witu the additional risk of i holding, the merchant can..ot be justly; j i)lamed lor iow prices. We now come to the third j ropositiou. “ Ihe interes and duty of the farming community to aid in building the Road, &e.” We here submit the foil wing among many reasons to substantiate this position : Extend the Nout’n Western Railroad to Eufuula, as proposed, and you place its cotton buyers on the same footing with those of Columbus, and as both would ship to the same market, Sa vannah, no advantage could accrue to the one, that would not to the oth-r. Hence the price of cotton at Eufaula would al ways equal that at Montgomery or at Columbus, or any other inland town Again, there are other advantages to the buyers of cotton where they have Rail road facilities, not generally known to persons unacquainted with the details of I t ade. The home manufacturers of cot ton are generally the main purchasers early iu the sea-on—the Savannah and Charleston markets are the most conve nient from which to supply themselves, being but a few days run to either place from the northern cities ; hence, orders are sent to CMuinbus, for instance, for thousands of bales, because their Rail road enables tbe buyer to forward thro’ to bavaiuiah without delay, any purchas es he may make. An advent ge that would tall to our lot had we a communi cation witii Savannah, and not only that, but being in the centre of the cotton belt, cotton shipped at Eufaula, would by its conceded superiority, command a prefer ence over that shipped at other iuland points. You will at once perceive that no such advantage can re-ult to any merchant oi biner iu jour section of country. He cannot jjpet orders of ctton to fill, simply j from the fact that lie cannot foivvard the* | , article to supply the demand. • J Another Important consul* ratiptialnim# i • • your attention Having deinot a rated ! j that by the proposed connect!’ n ,: ufn ,a 1 [ can give as I igh n price, c • ven higi i for cotton ns any it*la .1 market, it lev . lows that the counties can be much bit ter subS'Tved nt Enfmin than mv inter , mediate point on a Railroad. WV rtfei . pa: licularly to tlie medium c 1 - ,<-I farm-1 jers. who prefer taking tlmir w teams j ■aid hauling their urth les ho: ( ..*, ••• jmr-! ’ ing freight and other expe.ir.ee. nt.''t there* j |by lessen the income of their crop while! , |at the same time their tennis are idle at i j home. To make tills point nn re appa-j [rent, let us suppose A. B. starts witn Ins I team uud tin mis, and hauls Ids cotton to [some intermediate point on a Rn lro and, puis it in store until he gets a sufficient i"t together to send to the place of sale He then a'afts to market and pais the freight on his cotton, sell- the same, pnr* ch ises his necessaries, paying all tl o ex i ponses on tliem buck to the starting point, and is then compelled to use his team to liftul them home. Me submit, if it. is not more probable that A. B. would find it to his interest to go to Eufuula at once, prices being equal. Again, the last and most important consideration to the people of this icgion, is to build up a large commercial point in their own in d-t. Extend tho •Nou li V\ estern Road to Eufaula, and yon se curea iurge population. You bring cam iinercial facilities to your own door—as a I people you build up a market for your own inteiest, where corn, fodder, provis ions, poultry, ami every article tho cora- Imuinty could spare, would find sale ; you aid in bringing capital and wealth from oilier sections, to relieve yourselves in the heavy taxes you are now paying. Man ufactories would spring up in our midst, with profit to their owners an I the com miinity—the resources of our peoples would be stimulii'cd, and their ineaiis concentrated at home, instead of building up distant communities, where correspon ding advantages are not even looked for. We again submit to tlie people that eve Ty consideration’ of patriotism, self inter est, a just regard for the mass ‘s of our own extuns ve community, together with . a sense of right, requires ol each in-livid uni to ttiil in the enterprise.’ M hen we reflect upon the fact, that from the ciiy of S ivannah to Uuthbei t, in . Georgia, a distance of near 300 miles, a , line of Railroad costing over Four Mil- , lions Do lars is already p ovideri for, and that our section, by aiding to build 25 miles of Road can place itself in direct [ eotnmnnicl’iou with Savannah, a perma nent c tton market, connected with a line ot shipping, by which cotton can be sent, forward to the New and Old World with out delay or stoppages, and with greatly 1 reduced r.Te of insurance, arid in the same way, goods brought back to us In ! view of this, we do not hesita’e in the . belief that our patriotic citizens will re- 1 -pond to a call for the protection of th ir own nciuliborhoid. This is a plain, practical scheme, and unlike many others, ca; I‘ies its own proof to any investigating mind, as h safe in vest meat, practicable in execut on, at and beneficial in it results We therefore ask you to study the-e view< carefully, consider what you owe to e. c i other as ! members ot one community, and disre- 1 the counsels of those wi.o endeavor to neutralize or alienate your feelings, and create discord aud and sseiisions among you upon these vital interests. JOHN G. t-HOR ER, and 50 others Cows Milked by Machinery. A gentleman in this State hits invented a novel apparatus for milking c -ws, which 1 is intended as an assistance to dairy i nmtds. The milking is doth* by means of i a crank attached to a shaft, on which are four Clastic aims of steel, the end of which are furnished with rollers. On one side of the ring in which rollets move, i there is an elasdc pocket info which the i teat is placed. The back of this pocket is stiff", so that where the rollers revolve | they will come in contact with the front 1 part of the pocket it with the teat against the back part. The tent thus ptessed is relieved of its miik, which flows down through the pocket and thro’ a hollow case of the instrument iuto a tube, and thence into the milk-pail". We suggest as nn improvement to the invention the attachment ol a music-box, to be operated by the main shaft, in such a way as to discourse sweet melody du ring the delivery of the milk. Few ani mals at e insensible to the charms of mu sic, and even meets are said to lend a will ing ear. Uuder its fascinating influence the old cow may be expected to stand perfec ly stilt, while the flies, forgetting to bite, will buzz around with joy.

We carried with ns a lew instru ments, such as our boat compau?, a ther mometer, a telescope, etc. Th- se could not be trusted in the hands of tlie Arabs, and they were liable t> bo broken every instant At last we reach ed the topmost tier, to the great, delight and sat i faction of all the purty.
