.HTR.4, THE DAMASCENE.

Miggested the establishment of my quarters
at the house of thefather of his betrothed. That
the dress of an European was in Syria a pass
port to respect lie knew full well.
1 his was owing In the first place to the yield
ing aud pliable nature of the Oriental mind,
a’.iu to the enormous lies with which thedrago-
meu of travellers enhance the dignity, influ
ence, and resources of their masters, in the
eyes ot the Pashas. Resides, every Syrian saw
with what retinues Europeans travelled, and
how they were respected and guarded by the
grandees of the land. They knew, too, that
the weapons and resources with which Mehe-
ment Ali had kept down the Mohammedan in
surrection, and crushed the followers of Islam,
were entirely European. With a sufficient
knowledge of these facts before his eyes, the
pliant Oriental bestowed moro deference upon
an unguarded traveller than upon his own
Pasha.
The_sheik had commenced his attack upon
Myra in the usual Asiatic style. He was far
too faithful a believer to contemplate marriage
with a Christian, however pretty ; so ho first
assailed her creed. Day after day packages
of Mohammedan persuasion came to the house
of tho beautiful infidel, in the form of gold and
silvery jewelry, scarfs with exquisite embroide
ry, and cashmeres of the most delicate texture
aud seductive patterns. Myra, without feel
ing a single sensation of pleasure at all this
gorgeous and expensive fiuery, calmly folded
it away in her little chamber as fast as it ar
rived ; and taking a little miniature of Ptoli
from her bossom, kissed it and remained faith
ful to both faiths.
Rut the Sheik was powerful. lie knew full
well that his proceedings were infamous, per
haps fruitless, but he experienced both the
raptures and the bitterness of love, feelings
which operate with the equal effect in the breast
of a Mussulman or Christian. He had bribed
the Governor of tho Province not to interfere
with his wicked passion, and as the Greek
Christians of Damascus were but a weak host
all combined, in comparison to the number
and power of the true believers, the case of the
beautiful Myra was becoming critical.
I determined that the Sheik should not step
in between Myra and her happiness, if my
influence could avert it. Ptoli was assiduous
m his asseverations of fidelity to my interests
in case I would assist him in this strait. Bnt
it needed not that, nor the generous wealth of
Oriental compliment and persuasion, with
which his contemplated father-in-law and his
Christian friends besieged me, to enlist my
sympathy. A glance at tho subdued sorrow
in those large black eyes, and in tbe lines of
those sweetly turned lips, in which was con
centrated a universe of rarc womanly beauty,
was more than enough. With all this sorrow,
there was fire, too. and high courage breathing
through those half-parted lips.
The Sheik came to the house. He filled the
vestibule with his retinue, and presented to
iny Greek host an order from the Mohammedan
authorities, to deliver up Myra to bo commit
ted to a inosqne, on the ground that she was
desirous of changing : hcr persuasion. I was
impeded by no feelings of delicacy about in
terference in what I bad no personal interest,
from stepping forward in an emergency liko
this. Even had it not been technically my
duty, I might have iuterposed ; but as the
matter stood. I felt neither compunction nor
reluctance. Iu the first place, the order was
illegal, tis was any such attempt to convert an
infidel; in the second, it was untrue.
The Sheik was a tall, good-looking man;
but his checks were deadly pale, and his lips
had turned white. The Greek glauced at the
order, and passed it to me. Ptoli interpreted
its purport. %
How outrageously my dragoman may have
ttreKglhcncd and energized what I said, in bis
translation, I never knew ; but certainly the
effect of speech was never more striking.—
With impudence only justified by the great
interest he had at stake,' Ptoli marched straight
up to the Eastern potentate aud delivered liis
interpretation with a pomposity and vigor
which made the Sheik’s knees tremble, and
plainly struck horror into all his attendants.
The eyes of tbe Mussulman were still and
glassy. Every moment he grew more agitat
ed, and was clearly anxious to renounce his
project of making Myra the last and sweetest
of his wives. Rut Ptoli would not let him off
so easily. He continued the bombardment of
earnest and vigorous speechifying, growing
warmer as he continued, and redoubling in
energy and spirit, until the poor Sbeik’s teeth
chattered, and he began to shake violently
from head to foot with terror.
I cat short the dragoman’s cloqnence, when
its purpose had been accomplished, and the tim
id Asiatic vanished with his train.
Myra stood beside me during the whole in
terview. She was dressed iu a robe of Damas
cus silk, a costume graciously beautiful, gent
ly defining tbe exquisito symmetry of her
slender waist, and the wavy lines of her form.
Her features were touched with a sterner pen-
Tlic English doctor came and prescribed.
He administered the ordinary remedies for al
laying fever, with little apparent effect.
It was fearful to look upon the agony of that
glorious shape, transcendent in its beauty still;
yet more 60 to hear the silvery laugh pervert
ed to the expression of the wild vagaries of
madness.
I took Ptoli aside, and questioned him care
fully for confirmation of my suspicions. They
had been walking in the courts, Ptoli and his
betrothed, when a bouquet of roses flew over
the garden wall and fell upon the pavement.
Myra picked it up aud repeatedly inhaled its
Iragrance. The confirmation, to my mind,
was strong as holy writ. Myra had been
poisoned. Nothing, in the East, was more
common than the “deep damnation of such
taking off.” A rose-leaf, impregnated with
some deadly decoction, was not unfrcquently
to the Asiatic instrument of vengeance.
Ptoli was distracted. He clasped, in an
ccstacy of agony, the form of his beloved, and
fixing his mouth to bcPs passionately drew in
lircath hot %s though it came from a furnace.
Then he would sit by the couch, and holding
the burning wrist, moan terribly, as he felt
the frighted blood go galloping out of the
heart scalding every vein. No hopefulness
mitigated his grief. He felt that the Angel of
of Death had stretched out his fiery hand, and
made his life the victim. He knew the terrific
efficacy of Eastern drugs. When the lips
parted, and the fever drove out wild and in
coherent murmurings, on the hot, heavy breath,
he tried to sooth her, with a gentle piteonsness,
as if his heart were quite broken. Nothing
could take Inin from her bedside. There he
sat, and sobbed and sobbed, and pressed the
hot skin, and kissed his life into her fevered
veins.
As the fever reached the turning point, the
suspense grew terrible. The victim had not
spoken for several hours. The eyes were
closed, the form still; there was nothing but the
heavy, labored, and half-obstructed breath,
which struggling from the oppressed bosom,
came more and heavily, choking, straining
from the reluctant breast, and escaping the
parched lips with distressing spasms. Life
and soul hung on the issue of each passing re
spiration. Each came thicker and thicker, and
more and more convulsed; would to God it
were mere fancy, but Myra is dying! No,
she sleeps. The torturing weight is slowly
heaved from the chambers of tbe brain, the
blood runs cooler from tbe heart, the dry skin
grows moist, the fever is extinguished.
Nobody ever heard of the Sheik afterwards.
He left Damascus, an I buried liis cri.i.e with
his bones on the desert.

I procured a new dragoman, and left the
precincts of the Holy City. The last sight I
beheld was the group I have often described—
Myra and Ptoli. They were ocupying one of
the open apartments facing the inner court.
The clear air was loaded with the fragrance of
roses, and the chamber made sweetly vocal
with the murmuring of the fountain. Her
large! timid eyes were upon him for an instant,
and then shrouded again, and burning blushes
catne aud went upon the smooth cheek. Ptoli’s
face was perilously near to her and reclined
at her feet, upon a Persian carpet. He knew
Italian and was instructing liis pupil to enun
ciate the extravagant compliments of the
East in that soft, persuasive language.
In an hoar I was on the desert again, and
Damascus, was a speck iu the horizon. I
passed the Lebanon, and surveyed all Syria.
On my way back, I tarried a day at Damascus
and visited again the house of the Greek
Christian. My old host received me cordially,
but Ptoli and Myra were gone. They had
married in accordance with the forms of the
Greek Church, and were living at Aleppo.
Interesting Letter from Russia.
We give the following extracts of a letter
from a correspondent at Russia, received at the
Washington State Department.
“Ncvscbink is now the head of navigation
on the Amoor river, and a government steamer

Amoor. Nicolicf, is a fortified town of some
two thousand inhabitants, at or near the mouth
of the Amoor. Nicolief, as I understand, is
the place to which the Russian Pacific fleet re

Mr. Speaker.—I did not intend to make any re
marks on this report, but it is a duty I owe myself,
and 1 shall take this opportunity to set things in their
proper light. I see, bir, that the Herald oj Freedom,
in vindicating the character of the Hero of Pottowa-
tomie, tbe midnight murderer, has accused me of
murdering Frederick Brown, in cold blood. _ Non-
this slanderous lie is in ♦perfect keeping with the
many bloody stones told by the Black Republicans
last summer. I had hoped that these difficulties
would have passed off, and that peace would bo
restored to our Territory, but it seems that these
Black Republicans prosper best in war and are not
satisfied with peace.
Mr. Speaker, when I first came to the Territory, I
came as a free State man, and remained so until I
was pressed to leave the party. There are two
kinds of free State men, one the Democratic free
State man, and the other, tho Black Republican or
negro-equal free State man, and their principles are
as wide apart, and as different as black and white.
I settled in Lykins county, near the town of Stanton,
aud there I found as clever free State man as ever
lived in any country and;as fine Pro-slavery men as
live’on this green earth, and we men all got along
very well together uutil last spring. In April last
tbe free State men began to bold meetings and bid
defiance to the laws of the Territory, defying the Gen
eral Government, at the same time, to euforce them.
This bold movement began to alarm me, and I went
to oub of their ineetiogs, and tried to reason with
them for peace, bnt iu so doing, I insulted theliero—
the murderer of the three Doyle's, Wilkerson and
Sherman, who was an “Abolitionist of tkc old stock—
teas dyed in tbe scoot, and that negroes scert his brothers
and equals—that he sconld rather see this Union dissol
ved, and the country drenched with blood, than to pay
taxes to the amount of one hundredth port of a "*#• ’
This ahinnod me still more, aud previous notice
having been given, we held a meeting at Stanton,
and inviting all parties that were in favor of law and
order to come and help us. At this meeting wo
passed resolutions declaring that wc would submit
to the laws, that we were in favor of the Constitution
and the Union, of the State Rights, and Fugitive
Slave Law, the Kansas and Nebraska hill, and the
greatest peace prevailed among us, as is common
with neighborhood meetings. But, sure enough,
very soon wo began to see the prospect of the sited-
ding of blood. Two companies were raised to go to
Lawrence, to aid this lawless party, one from Ussa-
wattomie, commanded by Capt. Wiggins, the other
bv tbe Reverend John Brown. They got as far as
Hickory Point and there they learned that hostilities
at Lawrence bad ceased, hot that did not satisfy the
Reverend Brown. He took fifteen of his ignoble band
of soldiers, and back he went to Pottowatomie, and
about midnight went to the house of Mr. Doyle, and
tomie in search of these rogues and midnight mur
derers. Whilst I was acting as one of the advance
guard, coming in contact with their Picket guard,
Frederick Brown one of their guard, advanced to-
wards us. We halted and 1 recognised him, and it.
derod him to “halt,” bathe replied “I know vou!'
and continued to advance towards me. 1 ordered'
him a second time to “halt,” by this time he was get
ting Very close tome, .uidthiew liis hand t" hi-
revolver; to save my own life, I shot him down,
then the engagement soon took place between their
picket guards and us, in which several of their meu
were killed and wounded; tho fight soon became
between old John Brown’s army aud ours, in which
wo were victorious, without tho loss of u man on our
part, and only two wounded. In Brown’s camp I
got two of the horses that they .had stolen from me
the night they attacked my house, and one horse they
had taken from a neighbor l>y the name of Tooley.
This poor Frederick Brown about the killing of whom
so much fuss is made, had on a pair of hoots which
he had stoleu from my son.
Mr. Speaker, my mortal tongue cannot describe
the feelings^! had the night on which the attack was
made upon my house, not knowing at what moment
my afflicted wife, children and grand children would
be pierced through by a hall!

had scattered them all over the Territory, where he
thought that they could come upon peaceable families
and rob them of their lives and property and then
say “oh! it was done by’the law auu order party!”
Their whole object was plunder and they have got a
ood deal of it. A word or two as regards these
ne farms. Thty had bnilt one log cabin, and it was
done in a deep hollow where you could not see it un
til you got right on it, just such a place as would suit
to conceal stolen property, and us to their fine forms
they did not have ten pannelsof fence, and very lit
tle slock, but no doubt they have plenty ot every
thing now! Now, if they are a sample of their par
ty, Lord help their party! I notice that wood is
plenty in tho hands of their agents, since they have
said their stolen property, according to the state
ments of the Herald of Freedom. Now, Mr. Speaker,
they will want another bloody scene in Kansas, next
summer, in order that they may get more property,
and then Uiey will cry “bloody Kansas!’’

God! the day when all tho blood that has been shed

the old lady begged them to apare her one son.—
They then went to Mr. Wiikeraon's, and taking him
ont of bed from a sick wife, inhumanly murdered
him, and taking Mr. Sherman out of bcJ, murdered
him also. They took all the saddles, horses and
guns, that they could get, and then retnrned hack,
and upon meeting witli his companions, this boasted
hero displayed his sabre knife, which was yet stain

with indignation at inch cold blooded murders, call

they passed resolutions condemning such inhuman
crimes, and declaring that they would aid in bring

Now, Mr. Speaker, this Captain YVigins is from
the State of Indiana, and belonged to that noble
Democratic party, who stood by their principles so
laithfully last Fall. I will just say that this noble
minded man left the Territory and went to Missouri
for protection, as did also many other free State fam
ilies, and tbeae so called Border Ruffians opened their
doors, bade them a hearty welcome, and invited them
to partake of their bounties. Now, Mr. Speaker, in

indicated a spirit Chat would have ill accorded
with a Mussulman’s notions of connubial bliss.
But when the Sheik was gone, she fixed her
large eyes for an instant timidly upon her as
sembled friends, and then, covering her whole
being under the folds of their lids, twined her
arms nround the neck of Ptoli, pressing him to
her young heart with an earnest that revealed
what wealth of love she treasured up there for
him.
Damascus is a city of gardens, roses, and
fountains, and delicious shades. The baths
and the cafe are the chief places of amusement
The latter comprise merely sheds, simply pat
together, and lighted by the lamps suspended
from cords which stretch front branch to branch
of the fragrant trees. Here sit the denizens
of this “earthly paradise” of the Prophet, talk
ing gently to each other, sipping coii'ec, or the
wine of the Lebanon, and encircled by the sil
very fumes of the uarguile.
Hut it is his gardens to which a Damascene
would point you as the pride of liis city. They
arc a wilderness of thickets, roses, bright-
leaved shrubs, and forest trees, with waters
tumbling and bubbling everywhere from un-
'ccn sources YVild, unpruned, left in their
growth to the careless will of nature, they pres
ent a maze simply of entangled boughs, aud
copses choked with shrubs. These wild gar
dens arc the paradises of the dwellers of the
Holy City.”
A week after the affair with the Slicik. I was
sitting one night on the edge of a tountain-
asin, in the perfume-laden gardens of iny
host, when Ptoli came running to me, with a
face in which were concentrated enough of the
attributes of horror and alarm.
Myra had fallen violently and instantane
ously ill. I followed hint through the court,
id up a flight of stairs to her apartment.
The parched lips, the throbbing temples,
the rapid pulse, all indicated a malady ot the
most serious and violent nature, l’licrc was
an Englishman iu the medical service of the
Consul-General, for whom I at once sent Ptoli.
The girl’s brain was burning up ; her smooth
hand was on lire. How could this fever have
assailed her so suddenly ? was the instinctive
question. A suspicion, vague and indefinite.
But iucffaccuble, forced itsell upon my mind,
and recurred with a pertinacity that induced
conviction. The pulse of poor Myra bounded

burning pain, to sate tbe vengeance ot the

country east of lake Baikal, which is to the
south and east of Iskoutshe. As many ns five
to ten thousand men have been working in
these fields during the last summer.
“The government of Russia is not yet pre
pared, as I learn, to open the Amoor to indis
criminate commerce, or to European explora
tion.
“Take the immense extent of territory now
under the dominion of Russia, to which there
is no parallel in the history of the world, and
it presents a field in which the grandest ideas
may bo put practically into execution, the
sovereign power being in the hands of one man,
having the head to conceive vast designs,
and the will to put them into practical opera
tion.
“That the waters of Lake Baikal can be con
nected with the Amoor, I think there is no
doubt, and thus open the very heart of Siberia
to our Pacific commerce. My idea is that a
railroad of a few hundred miles will connect
the two systems of waters, and give a contin
uous line of communication between the waters
of the Pacific and the icy ocean ; this, with a
few steamers on Lake Baikal, the Yenisei, the
Sena, the Obc, the Amoor, and their tributaries,
would advance the trade and commerce of
those countries a thousand fold in ten years,
and realize more to commerce and civilization,
than tho discovery of the “northwest passage
to India.”
This route, if opened with steam upon those
Siberian rivers, would realize, iu fact, a north
eastern passage to India, through which an im
mense trade might eventually flow, for with
steam the summer waters of the icy ocean
would be available for some months each year.
Now the commerce which flows to Archangel,
must weather the north cape iu about 71 deg.
N. L., while the headlands of the Obesre only
about 72 deg N. L., and those of the Yenisei
would be 7S deg N. L. then, while Archangel
is about 64 deg.. Obilorsk, the mouth of the
Obe. is Go deg. that of Yenisei is little above
7G dew. Thus it will be perceived that the dif
ference is not very great, and with steam the
passage to the Obe would be much moro rcaili-
Iv accomplished than by sail now to Archan
gel. Thus, with the passage opened from the
mouth of the Amoor. au inland route could be
obtained by steam the whole distance trout
ocean to ocean, some four thousand miles di
rect, and the different lines ot navigation made
available by this common artery would be
swelled to three or four times that sum ; for the
■■I Legislator
and for that crime (?) he must die! and these are tho
the principles of the Black Republican party. Thu
Herald of Freedom of Lawrence says that it it were
not for the Government troops this Legislature
would not now bo in session: aye, sir, he would bring
the pen and Beecher’s Sharpe-rifle boys to bear on
tis, aud then he would raise tho cry of bleeding Kan
sas, and swear that it was sil done by Border Ruf
fians. But, Mr. Speaker, is it not an easy matter to
see through these plans!—Yes sir, Jim Lane went
East, and these raised a mighty cry of btooty Kansas,
and in tho mean time to carry ont these black-heart
ed purposes the Illinois Sangamon Journal, pnlishud
a notice of my death as having been shot by seven
balls, while making a speech. Tbe Editor spoke
very highly of my character for truth and veracity,
and oh! sir, shrieks, mournings and lamentation
were sent forth for “poor old Martin White.” Aye,
sir, they had intended to take my life, and started
the news in advance, so that they could swear when
they tnnrdered me that the Border Ruffians did the
deed I But when I heard of Jim Lane’s approach to
the Territory with his band of hirelings, 1 did not
fear any danger. On the 8th of August last, several
hundred of his party came tomy county on the night
of the same day, they drove out a settlement of
Georgians, and then they commenced doing what
Lane promised them on their way, taking all the
Pro-slavery meu's horses they could get. They
would ride up to a Pro-slavery man's bouse, in the
night time, and make him saddle nod surrender his
horses. Thufcnurie of proceeding they continued un
til the night of the 13th August, about forty of them
proceeded to the houso of my son ((Griffin White)
and rubbed him of all tbe goods that they could con
veniently carry. Theythen went toanotberson, (John
\V. White) and robbed us of seven horses, and de
manded him to surrender, which, of coarse, he refu
sed to do. The Captain then ordered his meu to fire
at tho command, aud tire obliquely, so as to rnkethe
whole bouse. Ono Mr. J.JoUy, whoso family was
present, propose to surrender, to savo the women
and children even at the risk of their own lives.
They accordingly surrendered; opening the door
theso robbers entered; they took what they saw anil
wanted, aud then pointed ont to my son the soven
head of horses that they had taken. Having made
inquiries of my daughter in-law as to the politics of
“Old Mr. White,” she replied that I was a free State
man. They rejoined “Damn such a free State man,
re rill sculp lam before day l" The next move made
was to attack my houso and, gentleman, when I saw
them coming at some distance, the moon sliiuing, we
prang up and were prepared for them, when they
charged into my yard, and formed around my house,
and demanded au unconditional surrender, 1 refused
to surrender only at the price of my life, and ordered
the hoys to prepare for. battle, saying, at the same
time, that wo could whip them. There were seven
ty men in the company, ail armed with Sharpe's rifles,
the Captain ordered.thcmto dismount—to charge up,
and burst down the door. At which time two .-hots
were tired front our number, unsaddling two of their
meu. They immediately dismounted, formed a
berastwork'of their horses, gathered up their falling
men, and retired over the point of the hill, and then
came hack to my stablo about sixty yards off, and
ot behind it, ami then opened a tremendous tire on
our house, iu which, luckily there was no harm done.
Had not my wife, however, fouud ahelter under the
bed, .-he would certainly have been killed bv a ball
that passed through tbe door and into the watt, direct
ly over her bed. There were eight men iu the house,
six women and thirteen children, and strange to say,
there was not “a chirp ” heard from any of them.
After firing for some itu to twenty minutes, they re
tired to the r main forces at or near Ossowatto’mie,
and wo left tho same day with what property we
could conveniently carry. I immediately wrote to
