Bounce the decree of : thclf eternal separa
tion.
And it came in the letter from which I
have giveu the extract
I shall not attempt to fathom the heart of
Mary Pierson. I fear She had never done j
so herself. But she rejected Philip Win*
tuw. and it was because she thought she did
not love him. She would not have believed
f one who told her that she had looked on
Lev love for him calmly and steadily, and
weighed it in her secret soul against wild
fancies and ambitious views ; and yet she did
just so, and she could not, strive as Bhe
would, she could not believe that she loved
him well enough to be his humble wife.
for to day. ftjr to morrow, for this little
• while just before her. it wohld. be delicious
She almost sprang-info his arms ns she
thought of it. But after that and for a long
life-just the calm, steadfast life, of his
wife and nothing more— she could not be
’ iieve that was her destiny.
But enough with motives, and let us pro
ceed with cur story.
A week after that letter whs written,
Philip Winslow left the village. Here are
extracts front two letters written a year la
ter :
Has a year produced any change ? It
is vain to conceal the simple truth from you,
Mary, that I am miserably -lonesome with
out the hope of your love ; and I do not set*
before me one spot so bright ns the light
that shines through my grave. I have be
lieved that you loved me. I have convinced
myself that I cannot bo mistaken. I have
hoped against all your calm assurances.
And now, once more, and for the last time.
I come and ask for love. Give ! give ! or Ii
perish !*’
Her reply:
* I said forever. Philip, and it must he so.
You are right in believing that I love you.
I was wrong in saying that I did not. But ,
Ido not love you as you wish We can nev- j
er be more than friends. Forgive me, Phil- j
ip, if 1 sadden you again. You would not j
let it rest as it was. It must be v even so.—
Seek no further to change for no
change in mo. I have searched my heart
through for you, carefully, faithfully. I
have removed myself out of myself for the
sake of looking at my soul, and Philip, it
must be—it must be. Ido not even weep
on this page while writing it, so cold am 1
in all this. And when I know that pain is
wringing your heart, ny own beats steadily
as before. God bless you, Philip Good

CHAPTER 111.
“ Oh! grief hath chang’d me, since vou saw me
last;
And careful hours, with time’s deformed hand,
Have written strange defeatures in my face.”
S hak future's Comedy of “Errors.
Let us pass over a spnee of six years, that
followed the date of the last letter.
It is the afternoon of an August Sunday,
in one of the most quiot and retired portions
of county, among the —— mountains
The day has been oppressively warm, and
the air is sultry, giving indication# of the
coming of a thunder storm.
The little church of. stood at the very
entrance of thtf mountain glen, where the
brock, after dashing down rocks for half a
mile, flows peacefully out iuto the meadow
lands.
The church stands among trees, which
shade the peaceful groves around it, and
which darken the windows even at mid-daj,
so thick and heavy is their foliage. The
building itself is old. The oak timbers,
which were never covered nor painted, are
somewhat worm-eaten, but very curious and
ancient in appearance, and the eutire aspect
of the interior of the church is that of old j
times.
In one of the large square pews, around
which are curtains that exclude the vision
of neighbors and even of the clergyman him
self. are sitting two ladies, strangers ui the
village, with bowed heads, waiting thecoin
meucement of the afternoon service. The
v.llnge had been not inlrequeatly, the re
soi t of invalids from a distance, and one of ■
these ladies is of this class. The other, her
ir ■, a young and very beautiful woman, ‘
h;;s accompanied her for the sake of com
panionship.
There was e strange fascination to the
younger lady in the voice of the clergyman.
It was singularly musical in the ears of any
stranger, but to her there was something
moie than she could describe in its power.
At the first sound of his voice she sprang
from her scat and looked toward him But
the obscurity of a coming storm darkened
the church, and she sought iu vain to recog
iiise his features. It was a familiar voice
and yet she could not place it. She had ‘
heard it before, yet it seemced rather that j
she had heard one like it The service pro- j
ceeded, and she sat in the corner of the pew
and buried her face in her bauds, and seem- :
ed to be sleeping. But she was not sleeping, i
There wrs a tempest in the mind of the
proud and elegant lady, sitting in the little
up-country church, with her face hidden j
from her companion.
The sermon was on the pomp nnd vnnity j
of the world. It was strange to hear the
young clergyrnau preaching on such a sub- ‘
ject to his little congregation in that retired
village. What temptations hud the world
to such villagers and livers among the hills ? ;
If they ascended to the highest peak of the
mountains, they could but dimly discern the
smoke of a large town. But tew of their
young people had ever seen it. And yet the j
temptations of the world hud entered that !
hamlet, aud the clergyman was as eloquent
to them iu simple, strong Language, n s was
the great Augus:ine iu his denunciations of
sin.
After the service was over the ladies left !
their pjw and stood for a few moments, while
the congregation passed out.
And then tho minister came down the aisle
and, as be passed the door where the ladies
stood, he bowed politely. The elder lady,
returned the bow. The younger looked him
steadily in the face and he passed on.
So Mary Pierson and Philip Winslow had
met and they parted as strangers.
None but he who has experienced it knows
the tremendous powe.r of a memory. It takes
entire possession of the soul like a storm,
sweeping over all that Ims grown there, and
taken deep root—all the flowers that bavs
been cherished, all the great trees that have
grown up in might and strength, all the
webs of fancy that bang there und are cov
ered with dew drops.
i And to oppose and overcome such a power
a a victory tb&t ft strong Buß tuay be proud
of. Such he achieved, and there was then a
ealm after the storm
A year after Philip Winslow sat in his
study, lie hajl beet* absent from home for
I three days. : L .” J|
l <* A letter for you, sir. It came the day
j you left.” It was a servant entering the
j room with a light step, who handed it to
’ him. He glanced at the direction, and a
I Sharp pang shoo through his frame and a
I visible palor whs on his face. He grasped
it convulsively in his hand, and staggered
rather than walked toward the window
where the last rays of the sunshine sti earned
in through the half closed shutters. 110
| looked at it again, and sat down feebly, as
i if iu pain.
Again the tempest was up. Again the
wild floods were, uvrr Ids soul.
| Stern and terrible whs the resistance he
| offered, and he conquered.
He sat down calmly and locked at it. He i
| was in no haste to open it. and when he did
; so, at length, it was as a business matter,
■ coolly, deliberately, without (so he said to
himself,) oue throb of heart quicker than
: usu 1 1.
>• Philip come to me. lam dying ! How
i I have wasted all the blessedness God offer- i
; edto me ! How 1 lmve deceived you, cursed |
■ myself ! Ido ove you, Philip. I have lov : I
|ed you < very hour since I,knew you. I have
| loved you witli superhuman-!-why should I
not say inhuman love. And now I, the
widow of another man, lonesome miserable,
dyiug, call you baqlf to me, Philip, to see
uie die !”
He went to her. He found her in the
splendid house she had inherited from her
| husband, oue whom men called great, the j
| representative of a gfeat power. lie was a
I man of no affections, who had married her
for the sake of her''brilliant mind, and had
died, leaving her wealth she did not want,
j and disappointment 1o all her hopes—aud
: uow she was dying.
Philip Winslow would not. have gone to
’ her t ut for the feeling that he might te use
ful to her in the.hour of her extremity. It
was not love that carried him hack. It was
bis duty ns a Christian minister—nothing
else; at least so he said to his heart, and
doubtless the thought it whs true.
She lay on a splendid couch, surrounded
by all tlie evidences of wealth and ease.—
She drank from crystal goblets set in gold,
and the coverings of her couch were of the
finest and most costly fabrics The ceiling
of her room was frescoed in most exquisite
colors, and the walls bu g with tapestries
of quaint and expensive beauty All that
was around her was characteristic of her
tastes; all was beautiful, superb, magnifi
cent. It dazzled Hie eyes of the young cler
gyman when they showed him into her cham
ber, as she had directed.
He had come very late. She had watched
hour by hour for lrs coming, and wondered
whether ber.nmso g r could have failed. And
at length she had become restless, and she
gave him up .oil l the fourth day, and fever
took hold of her and delirium followed. All
her ravings were of him and the secret of
her proud heart was known to all the ser
vants in her house. And when he catne they
knew him, and Smiled as he passed up to her
chamber, marshaled by the aunt who was

Yes, she was gloriously beautiful. It was
she—liis young love—the idol of all his
years of agony—bhe. that fay there, steeping
now, calm, quiet, like a statue. He gazed
Jon her face, and his heart beat now wildly,

to his neck, nnd he knelt by her and buried
his face out of her sight, while he sobbed

her nnd held her to bis breast, and strove to

Great Excitement at Doniphan, K
T—An Abolitionist Killed.
We learn from Mr. Newtnrin, of Doniphan,
| that Samuel Collins, of that [dace, was kill
led this morning about sunrise, by Pat.
Luughlin As tar ns we have been able to
learn, the circumstances are ns follows :
Mr. Luughlin recently made an exposi
tion of the midnight organization existing
! among the Abolitionists in the Territory,
I called the . Grand Encampment und Regi
ment's of the Kansas Legion ’ Collins, it
seems, is Colonel of one of the regimeuts in
this Order, and determined to force Mr.
Laughlin to a retraction, or kill him. In
| accordance, he ami some twelve brother Ab
| litionists proceeded this morning to seek out
Mr Laughhu mid demanded and vtiqual-
I tied retraction of his recent confession ; nnd
upon Mr L's refusing to make any conces
sion whatever. Collins Immediately snapped
. his gun at him, but ft rtunately tho weapon
was turned aside by a spectator. Mr.
Luughlin then drew a revolver nnd fired up- j
on his opponent, killing him instantly.
We regret to learn that Mr. L. whs dan
gercurly hurt in the conflict by a knife
wound in the sido. We are also informed
that his friend, Mr. Lynch, a member of the
pro shivery party, was wounded in the head
by the discharge of a gun.
Thus it is, that the fight so long talked
about has begun, and it is to be hoped that
it will not be discontinued until Kansas Ter
ritory is rid of this * higher law’ and blood
thirsty set of negro thieves and outlaws.—

Tableaux and Concert.
Our readers may see from an advertise
ment in auother column, that the Young
Ladies of Cassville contemplate giving a
series of Tableaux and Concert, on Friday
night the 7th of December, the proceeds of
which are to be donated to the Presbyterian
Church in this place. Let our citizens en

ble enterprise, with their presence and,
contribute to the church in her necessities
Take Notice.
The Post Master writes us that BENJ.
BOWMAN, who has been taking the
Standard , at Franklin, Fulton county,
Arkansas, for the past three or four years,
has left for parts unknown, anil that the
paper is no longer taken from the office.
The man who would intentionally de
fraud the printer, as this fellow BOW
MAN has done, would rob a hen-roost, or |
steal the coppers off a dead nipper s eyes,
and deserves to be held up to public
scorn and infamy. In all such cases we
intend to let tho world know it, that |
they may keep a good watch upon their j
pockets when such scamps are in their j
neighborhood.
More Rascallity.
We understand that on the night of
tho 21st inst., tho Store of Messrs. Gor
don <fc Terrell, located some 14 miles
North of this, on the Pine Log Load, was
broken open arid ‘several hundreds dol
lar’s worth of Ready-made clothing and
various kinds of dry-goods extracted.—
We further learn that a couple of men,
by the name of Wilson, were taken up
on suspicion and underwent a trial be
foic a magistrate’s court, and were com
mitted to jail in tins place to await their
trial at the next term of the Superior
Court; an<l whiln on their way to this
place, acknowledged that they stole the
goods, and also a smalt amount of mon- !
ey which the proprietors kept in their
drawer to make change, and designated
tho spot where the goods might be found,
which proved to be tine.
P.B. Since the above was in type,
we are in possession of further informa
tion. . Tito two convicts sent to this place
for lodgement in jail, proved to be beard
less boys, ono about ten or twelve, and
the other about fifteen years old. They
were traeked along tho public road, by
the officer, and when about to arrive at !
their home, which was about 8 miles
trom the store, they became alarmed at
tho noise of their pursuers, threw away |
tho pocket book, which contained about
$lO in cash, aud hid some of the goods
under a rook near tho house, which was
found by research.
What the Know Nothings say
of the Democracy;
Bejpw we give some extracts contain;;
ed in the Federal Union , taken from
the Southern Recorder urn] Journal <& j
Messenger, two of t lie leading Know
Nothing prints irtGettrgia, together with
the comments of the Union} It will be
seen that they make no opposition to
the Resolutions of our party, and can see
no reason wily the South should not u
j nite in the next Presidenlial race, upon !
j the Democratic platform, laid down re- {
Icentlyat Millcdgeville.. This is Know •
| Nothing evidence that (he Democracy is j
i right, and as a.reasonable inference, an i
■indirect admission that they -are wrono.!
J. # 0 & i
j Straws show which way the wind blows, j
; and we predict for the organizational
I speedy dissolution in Georgia :
“ We have watched, says the Union,
with some anxiety, the opposition press,
to sec their views in reference to the plat
form adopted at the Democratic and ’
Anti-Know Nothing meeting in this city j
on Thursday the 8:h insl. We are!
I pleased to. find the ..leading press of the
; opposition, concurring ; n the most ini- 1
j port ant parts of it, particularly that por
| lion which touches the Georgia platform,
j and the future policy of our party in re
lation to National politics. The South
ern Recorder, of last Tuesday, referring
to the action of our meeting savs:
‘•Let tire Democracy of the South as
sume and sternly maintain this high
and patriotic position, and treat with
respect and justice their opponents, and
we see no reason why the whole South
may not present a unit in the great
Presidential struggle of 1856.”
The Journal & Messenger of Wednes
day last, says:
“These resolutions contain nothing
upon the subject of slavery which is not
the common feeling and the common o
pinior. of the people of tliis State, and
commit the Democratic party of Geor
gia to a bold, independent and patriotic
position towards the Northern Democ
racy. We heartily approve them, and
can only hope that the Cincinnati Con
vention may meet their requirements.—
If this is done —if the tests of party affil
iation demanded by the Georgia Dem
ocracy are recognized by that Conven
tion, and a candidate nominated who
can he trusted to regard them, in the
whole conduct of an administration of
the General Government, opposition to
him at the South will be factious, and
should not he attempted. The proba
bilities are, that if the Cincinnati Con
vention affirms the action of the Georgia
Democracy, and does it fairly, squarely
and honestly, it will split the Democratic
party of the Union into fragment?.”
“ Now, countinues the Union, to both
these papers, we say, let the future take
care of itself. If we are right Notv, and
you think wo are, upou a platform wholly,
unobjectionable, and which, if carried
out, with a sound man nominated upon
it, opposition to it would be “factious,”
at the South ; if, we say, our position is
a correct one now, why should any of j
ouru.te opponents refuse to co-operate j
with us in sustaining it ? It is true that
these Resolutions, going forth bearing- j
the sanction of the great party in Geor-.
gia, which triinn died in the late elec
tion, will do imii'li to encourage the true
patriots at the North, who are fighting
our battles there, and to sustain our high
position before the country ; but would
not these just and manlv resolves carry
with them a greater moral force, if the
people of Georgia stood upon them as a j
unit ? Are our Know Nothing friends j
determined to stand aside iu this doubt- j
ful struggle for our rights, and, while ap- j
proving our position, withhold from us j
their aid and comfort. ? If wo arc right , i
we ought to be sustained by every man
and all parties in the State. If we are j
j right, we ought, to be sustained by the j
! members of the defeated party iu Geor- .
! gia, because ice are right. Is it. not plain
to our Know Nothing friends that the
Democracy of Georgia will have a hard !
J . O , i
fight, to sustain their position at Cincin
nati next Spiing? Are they anxious
for our success ? The Journal ct Mes
senger frankly says it hopes that our re
quirements may meet the approval of.
the Cincinnati Convention. Will not
the Journal it Messenger and its friends j
not only “ ijorn,” but help us sustain our
“independent and patriotic position?”
We can dispense with the well-wishes
of our late opponents, if they will give
us material aid, to enforce our position !
at Cincinnati, lfthey persist in keep
ing up a rival party in Georgia, can we j
-
unite in support of any man or measures I
next year.? We, believe a good spirit;
prevails with many of tho members of
the Know Nothing party, and they are
almost persuaded to come up to the pa
t riotio position wo have taken, nnd stand
there. We are fearful, however, that
tho coming elections iu January will re- j
new party strife amongst us, and sepa |
rate us, ns a peOplo, wider than ever.—
If this result follows, we can only do-;
ploro tho consequences of such division I
| upon the future destinies of our State 1
! and people;—for it cannot prove other-1
wise than destructive of our dignity ns a
State, and ruinous to the best interests ‘
|of her citizens. Our opponent* should
ponder well the future, ere they take
steps for perpetuating their political or
ganization. Let them consider well this
j question—“ if the Democratic and auti-
Know Nothing party is right, should we
impair its powers to do good, by array
ing against it a political organization,
in advance of of the action of the Cin
i cinnati Convention ?”
i OOC
Know Nothings at the South.
In every Southern State the Kftow j
Nothings have attempted to carry the j
victory in the late elections, but out of
twelve where elections have taken place,
they have carried hut two, Kentucky
I and Maryland, both of ihem adjoining 1
j the Free States. What is the cause of!
| their failure at the South, when their
! victories have been everwhelmning in ‘
j nearly all the free Stales ? Let us em |
| quire info the cause of this difference in j
! their strength at the North and South, i
Is.it because the’ Democracy -are trove
vigilant at the South, or is it because
there is a principle or a position advoca
ted by the order that gives them st rength
at the North, and weakens them at the
South f-—this must be the cause of their
.success in the former section, and of;
their defeat in the fatter. Can South
ern men longer.doubt that the great and
true cause of thejpumphs of the Know
Nothings at the iUiforth is the abolition
views held and advocated by them.'as a j
party ; and even in the two Southern !
Stater, in which they hold the majority, j
that sentiment is boldly advocated by a j
portion of their citizens. Ilen.ce they j
lost nothing in Kentucky, and Maryland.
And as a further proof that three-fourths
of the Know Nothings are abolitions,
we ask our .readers to watch the pro
ceedings of the next Congress, a ndhev
will then have proof strong as holv writ,
that this hidden and oath bound con- ;
cern is au abolition movement.
Col. Pickett’s Common School
Bill.
In looking over the Proceedings of the
Legislature our attention has been drawn
to a bill introduced by Cel. Pickett, of
Gilmer, appropriating the profits of the
Western Ar Atlantic Railroad to a com
mon school fund. The Road has been
constructed by taxation of tlie people of
the State, and now that this great work
has been completed, and yields an in
come, there can be no disposition made
of the same that will benefit the large
class of our citizens more than to set it
aside as a school fund. Thus appropri
ated it will soon enable every child in
the State* to acquire an education if he
desire it. It will enable us to carry out
a common school system which will
give all classes, — both the rich aud the
poor, an opportunity to gain a good ed
ucation. The bill, we believe proposes
to appropriate the whole of the proceeds
to a school, fund, when, in our opinion, j
a portion of th same should go to de-1
fray the expenses of the Slate, and there- j
by lessen the taxes. If one half or a j
third of the profit* of the Road should j
be set aside as a permanent school fund, ;
it would be but a short time before the
1 piesent rapidly increasing income would
raise an amount sufficient to support a
general system of common school*. We
hope that our law-makers wiU see the
great importance of this bill, and not
adjourn without providing for a general
system of education
! Col. Wood’s, (of Fannin.) Infe
rior Court Bill.
j Avery important hill has been intro- j
: dueed by Col. Wood, Representative ;
from Fannin, proposing to abolish the 1
present Inferior Court, and have tli* du
ties of tlie same performed bv the Ordi
naries, giving them a stated salary of j
two hundred dollars with certain cost
fees. Wy hope this hill nay become a
law, for we all feel the great necessity
of a change,of the present Inferior Court.
The duties of this Court are now per- j
formed bv men, voluntarily, and in this
republican country where men of capac
ity are always engaged in business, it is
too much to require of them so much
voluntary labor. Col. Wood, though a
young member,is a man of capacity, a ltd
his county will have reason to be proud j
of her representative.

departure for home, which was about
