HMfy Intelligencer ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Wednesday* April 19, 1871. Tbe Next Ratl«Btl Convention. The Louisville Courier-Journal proposes Lou isville as Ihe place for the meeting of the next Convention ol the National Democratic Party. President Grani’i Policy. President Grant, in his San Domingo mes sage, reiterates, very nearly, the announcement he made when he went into power, to-wit: that be has no policy. But he has a policy—and it is his only policy. It may be summed up in the word, re-election, and that he intends to accomplish, whatever it may c -st the people, even the treedom of the ballot. T uat is Gram’s policy. The Kn-Klnx BUI. The correspondent (“X”) of the Baltimore Gazette, in a late letter, rivm the information and vouches lor its comctni-ss.lhatMr. Sumner was consulted by Dawes, Blane, and others of that ilk in the House, and dictated the terms of Sheila bearer’s amended bill,which i& infinitely more pernicious than that even of Buffer, Inas much as it combines (as a compromise) tbe in vidious personal tyranny to the white man in volved in Sumners theory, with the less dan gerous, auitious views ol the President. The Party of mural Ideaa and Progress. The Radicals in Connecticut, at the late elec tion, lorgcd a telegraphic dispatch lor election eering purjmsea The dispatch purported to be one lrom Governor English to Thurlow Weed, calling lor funds to lie used in the election. A evvard ol five hundiel dollars has been ofiered or the authors. The Connecticut Elections. The latest intelligeuce we have in relation to the Connecticut election shows that there is nothing in the result to make Democrats de spondent or Uadiculs exultant. There is no doubt that English, the Democratic candidate lor Governor, ana nearly all the Democratic ticket lor State officers, have received a ma jority ol the votes cast, it is, however, not im probable that the election may be thrown into the Legislature, on account ol irregularities which took place at the election, such as put ting ballots in the wrong box, and misspelling names ol candidates, lful should the count show a small majority for the Radical ticket, there is nothing iu the result to dishearten or discourage, in the least degree, the Democracy. What are the facts ? The Democrats have not carried the general election in that State but three times, tn the last lourteen years, and al ways by a very small majority. Gov. English was elected in 1870 by about 800 votes, the Radicals electing three out ol lour ol the mem bers o Congress, and a majority of both Houses ol the Legislature. At the late election, over 6leven hundred negroes voted tor the first time, and it is conceded that they cast almost a solid vote for the Radical ticket. This vote was suf ficient to reverse the majority ol English in 1870 by several hundred votes. So that, it is quite clear that the Radicals, if they have car ried the State, have carried it by the negro vote, the Democratic party making a gain ol white votes. How any Southern man or South ern journal can exult over such a victory, would be hard to conceive ot, it we did not know that there are men amongst us who would sell their country lor the spoils ot office—whose political creed is found in their worship of the golden calf. Rad I callatm —Progress. The Radicals claim that their’s is the party of progress; that its march is onward, keeping time with the spirit ot the age. It is difficult to understand what is meant by the term progress, when applied to this party; or, if understood in its ordinary acceptation, what its claims to this distinction rest upon. In what has it made progress? Where are the fruits it would ex hibit as evidence of progress ? It certainly will not have the audacity to claim that its moral ity is ot a better stamp than that which belongs to other people, or that, in the application ot its principles, it has done more than others toward the improvement of society and the advance ment ol civilization. It so, where is the evi dence of it ? Is not the converse of the propo sition true V Take this par ty ol progress at the South, and consider of what it is composed— examine its personel, and see what sort of stufi it is made of. Morality its rule ot action, and the advancement of society and civilization its object! 11 it was not so serious a matter, the mere suggestion ot the idea would be supreme ly ridiculous. We have been taught in our moral code, "Thou shall not steal,” and “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh bors.” The liudicai party lias been enabled fo live only by the violation ot these two commandments. It has been able to keep bouI and body together only by appropria ting to itselt other people’s goods, and covering up its track by falsehood. No body, or set of men, living or dead, that ever had con trol of public aflairs, has de.-poiled the people ot their substatce with a more ruthless hand than this party. It3 rule at the South during i he last five years, has been, in fact, one great raid upon property. To grow rich and fatten at the expense oi tbe people has been the leading purpose ot those who have been at the head ol affairs. This ib the morality ot tbe party of progress—the sum aod substance ot its political ethics. It dubs an honest man an old fogy— says lie is behind the times. It claims to.be ag- grt 8si ve. It certainly is as to tbe rights of others especially the right oi property, its record is oneol aggression—this is iis progress. It will be well tor this party to reflect—thai motion—move rueni di es not always unpL progiess. One may move backward as well a* tor ward; so with a party as well as a people, it is harder, too, to go upward than downward—Jacilis descensus averno. This is tbe direction the Radical party has taken and is pursuing. It course is down ward, downward, to perdition. fflr. Morion Make* a Platform for Ihe National Democracy. Senator Morion, ol Indiana, was serenaded in Washington, on Saturday night, and made a speech, which no doubt was intended to tore- sha 'ow the plan ot ihe Radical campaign that is appro: ching. To do 111 s, he thought it im portant to anticipate the acoou of the National Democratic Convention, and lay down a plat- lorm for that pariy. In doing this, he has, ot cour «, misrepresented its purposes and policy. 1I< re is .i ha: lie saui: Alter making some reference to the Ku-KIux, he held that, it the Democrats got coutrol oi the central government, they would not make ap propriation to pay pensions to Northern sol diers. «n!es9 Southern soldiers were also pro- vidid lor; that they would not pay the public debt, unless provision was made tor the loss ol slaves and property in the South; that this would add fifteen hundred or two thousand millions to the public debt; and that the col ored men of the South would be disfranchised within sixty days, or reduced to slavery or serf dom. This, he claimed, was supported by their po) cy in not accepting the reconstruction acts es constitutional. Small Cupping*. Paris would be belter ofi il she had “nary Red.” A sign on an eating-house on the New Jc-rsev Railroad says: “ Coffee and eggs fresh laid by Mary Jones.” The season for sitting on circular saws has begUD. A man down East sat on one the other day, and they buried both of him in the same grave. In Philadelphia they fined a man two hun dred dollars for refusing to sit on a jury with negroes. He says he can save it in washing. Johnson county, Indiana, hae only two pris oners in its jail—one ior burglary and the other for horse elopement. Both are preachers. A gentleman(?) in Indiana Baved himself the expense of divorce, and enriched himself, by trading oil his wife lor a second-hand gun and a peck ot beans. A Scotchman, who had put up at an inn, was asked in the morning how he had slept. “Ah ! man,” replied Donald, “ nae vera well aither; but I was muckle better afl than the bugs, tor, deil a one o’ them closed an an e’e the whole nicht.” The “ Molly Maguires” in the mining districts of Pennsylvania are constantly committing out rages, and the “ Vigilants” of Nevada are or dering persons to leave the State with frightful rapidity. Yet no proclamation has been issued by General Grant ordering either to disperse. Why slumbers his Excellency ?—JT. 0. Times. Bismarck is said to find fuel for his brain in a case of wine known to be more than a thou sand years old, and which was found in a cav ern near his home at Bchoenhausen. * The strength ot this liquor is described as being so great that not even the Count’s strong head can withstand the attack of more than one half a wine glass ol it It wa3 put down by an old satyr who had refused to drink it at the solicita tion of Gaoibrinus. Lame conclusion—a sore foot. Joint Education—gymnastics. The best share in tarm—the plow-shars. What is the greatest wantot the age? Want of funds.

No; it’s a frieze!” "A couple of Belgian giants,” says the Cincin nati Globe, “are now iu tne city for the purp se oi exhibition. They are so long, that it takes two days to exhibit them.” A gentleman one day indiscreetly asked a lady' how old she was. “Lei me see. I was eighteen when 1 married, and my husband was thirty ; now he is twice thirty, and that is sixty ; so oi course I am twice eighteen, that is thirty- six.” A daring attempt was made, Monday, to rob the Central Park Savings Bank on Third Ave nue. Three men entered the bank about noon, most ot the employes being absent at lunch, and, alter iocking the front door, bound and gagged the paying teller, Mr. Ellison, and pro ceeded to rifle the sale. Dr. Hadden, one ol the directors, finding the door locked, broke it open, when the burglars fled through the rear and escaped. The New' York papers chronicle the suicide, by drowning, of Sirs. Emma Fox, whose hus band, YV. W. Fox, of Newport, R. I., died at the Everett House in February. His drinking habits caused a separation, and she went to the house of a friend, wnence she made her way to the river. Her body' was elegantly' dressed, anti bore rich diamonds, a costly watch, etc. She wa% worth a hundred thousand dollars in her own right. A gentleman from the country called on a druggist friend in Camp street, yesterday. They had beeu boys together, and had been •fife-ltmg intimate friends. Not having met for some years, the interview was a pleasant one, and, as our country lrtend was leaving, the druggist said : ‘‘Come iu again, Jim, and take something with me,” meaning, of course, a social gl -s. But Jim understood it in quite a different sense, and, with a horrified countenance, exclaimed, “Confound you! do you think I take pills for diversion ?”— N. O Picayune. “So you’re going to Alaska, are you, young man ? ” said an old fur hupter to a Philadel phia youth, adding : “ You just be careful how you kill the wife of a native of that country, tor no one was ever known to be let off lrom such an accident for less thau two woolen blankets to the bereaved husband, and five to the Governor.” Paris April 12.—Fighting is still going on around Paris, without any decisive result. The insnrgents are disputing every inch ot gronnd, and claim to have gained advantages on Tues day. The mob is still pillaging churches. April 13.—Cable dispatches to Washington report tremendous firing in the direction ol the forts at Paris. Dispatches from London state that Thiers opposes conciliation, that there is a great con centration ot troops at Versailles, and that the Nationals are massed near the Arch Triumph. Paris is calm, but the exodus ol citizens con tinues. W ABHTNGTOir, April 12—-Senate.—Sherman’s resolutions on the subject of finances have Robertson moved to consider the Amnesty bill. Goes over till to-morrow. Ku-Klux discussed. House.—The Deficiency Appropriation bill, and the amendment repealing the law requiring Congress to meet on the 4th of March, were discussed at length. Galveston, April 12.—A train, loaded with bacon, from Chihuahua for Fort Bayard, was attacked near the boundary line by a large band of Indians, and several Americans were killed. The Mexicans pmsned tbe Indians across the boundary of the United States, and killed and captured eighty of them. The United States troops from Fort Goodwyn went to protect the ndians, and a fight took place between lh r m and the Mexicans, in which the commanding officer of the Fort and forty American soldiers were killed. New been, April 12.—A disastrous fire oc- cured at Newbnrn to-dny.

Virginia, April 12.—A notorious horse thie by the name of Hodges, who had previously killed four m?n near Stanton, waa taken from jail there by a party of men and hanged near the town. 6 Washington, April 14—The High Com mission and Ku-Klux prevent President Grant from taking his California trip. France.—The general situation unchanged. The Commune have resoived to demolish the Place Vendome. Fighting is going on in the villages near Paris, and the Communist journal claims that the Versailles forces are repulsed. Thiers declines belligerent rights to the Com munists, or to grant an armistice, but is willing to guarantee the Republic and accord certain privileges to Paris. Washington, April 13.—In the Senate the Ku Klux is still the topic. HOUSE. The deficiency appropriation bill discussed, and the Senate amendment, repealing the law fixing tbe time for tbe meeting of Congress, which nassed by a vote of 99 to 98. The President to day nominated the Council for the District of Columbia, and amongst them three Degroes—one of them Fred Drougiass. Paris, Anril 13.—The communist claim vic tories, wh ; ch is denied by dispatch from Ver sailles. All the roads to Paris occupied by Ver- s-dl'e’s troons. The latest intelligence from Versailles of this date, is, that]a deputation from the Oommittte of conciliation had been received at Versailles, and the conditions offered by Pres ident Thiers, were that Paris should lay down her arms, and then the municipal franchise would be gianted to the city. Thiers pronounces the commune accounts of of victory false. The city is reported to be quiet. The general situation is unchanged, but the preparation be ing made to crush out the revolutionary faction in Paris will soon be completed. Hon Joshua Hill. Our “ solitary and alone ” Senator, Hou.

Mr. Henry Atkins, of Cincinnati, has invent ed a piano that is played by the feet. It has sixty-eight keys, which are cubical blocks ol wood, and each one strikes a cord of four notes.

The engagement of Miss Nellie Grant “to a young naval officer of prominent name and un exceptionable pedigree," in a society paper, r. .-ids racily—b;.r e-*->cily. “Sing.e dash to church, in wedding harness.” The German Losses.—The official lists of the killed and wounded on the German side during the war have now been made up at Ber lin, as far as relates to the army of the late North Geiman Bund and the Baden division. The number given of killed iD action is 13,960, of wounded 88,924, or total casualties, without the missing, 102,884. But to these will have to be added at least 20,000 more of Bavarians and Wurtembergers, so that the Germans altogether may be considered" to have lost 120,000, that is, more than S'x times as many as Prussia lost in 1866, when the casualties did not quite reach 20.000. The expenditure of the war is in still greater proportion to that of 1866, owing to the longer duration. The latter was returned at 124.000. 000 thalers. The present war has been rudely estimated at Berlin at amounts varying from $600,000,000 to $750,000. But these esti mates are for money laid out, and do not include stores expended. These it took $20,000,000 to replace in 1866. Lastly, there are the liabilities for pensions, and for compensation to the Ger mans driven out of France. The latter claim having been excluded from the treaty, is under stood to have been handed over to the German Government to be met out of the general pecu niary penalty in posed on France. A Grim Jose.—In the days immediately suc ceeding the battle of Sadowa, a story went the round ol the Paris papers which has a curious interest at the present moment. It waa said that certain Alsacian officers, with the caution tor which their race has ever been character ized, wrote the Prussian Premier, when there was a ta'k ot war between France and Ger many, ,-k : ng whether, in the case ot Alsace be ing ur.ntxid would they be retained in the ' v. ri.mm' service Count Bismarck, so the ry iuus, replied to his correspondents that there was no prospect whatever of the contin gency occurring, but that, under all circum stance®, it might be as well if the officials ol Al- -ace were to practice themselves in the pro nunciation. ot German. Numerous were the rfiiasantries to which the anecdote gave rise; but the idea that within four years the joke might be resized in grim earnest, probably never presented itselt to any one of the jour nalists who dilated on the anecdote as an illus tration ot Bismarckian insolence. What was treated as an absurdity in 1866 has become a fact in 1871; and lrom this time forward Ger man becomes the official language of the pro vinces wrested from France.—London Tele graph. A Competent Witness.—“William Look ! Tell us, William, who made you?” William, who was considered a fool, screwed up his lace, and looked thoughtfully and some what bewildered. “Moses, t s’pose!” “That will do,” said Counsellor Grey, ad dressing the court. “The witness says he sup poses Moses made him; that is an intelligent answer, more than I thought him capable of giving, for it shows that he has some faint idea of Scripture. I submit that it is Dot sufficient to entitle him to be sworn as a witness capable ot giving evidence.” ‘•Air. Judge,” said the fool, “may 1 ax the lawyer a question ?” “Certainly,” said the Judge. “Well then, Mr. Lawyer, who d’ye s’pose made you ?” “Aaron, I s’pose," said Counsellor Grey, imi tating the witness. Alter the mirth had somewhat subsided, the witn-ss drawled out, “Wall, ne-ow, we do read in tue book that Aaron once made a calf, but who’d a thought the darned critter had got in here!” The Judge ordered the man to be sworn. Atlanta and Its Surroundings* Our correspondent’s remarks on the above subject, in many respects, meet with onr ap proval. Bat upon the subject of the “ Water Works” and “ Public Schools,” we prefer to reserve any endorsement. We regard the in troduction of an abundant supply of water into Atlanta, by a judicious system of water works, as almost a necessity; and the encouragement of education, by means of public schools, as an object of prime importance. Tbe Great yietcalt Cotton Case. The Augusta Constitutionalist, of yesterday, says: “ This great cotton case, which has been in litigation for the past six years, came up be fore the United 8tates Circuit Court, in Savan nah, on Tuesday. The case is that ot John Garsed vs. William A. Bell, Jeremiah Beall and Thomas Metcalf, in equity, involving 9,974 bales of cotton. As we learn from the Savannah Re publican, Judge Erskine, in his decision, made the following points: He held, first, that 8chley, who assumed to be tbe agent of the respond ents, had, at the time of the transaction, no au thority to act as such, and to make the contract with complainants; second, that the question as to whether Messrs. Beall aud Metcalf, subse quent to the purchase, ratified the act of Schley and made him their agent in the transaction was an issue to be tried by a jury at the next term of the Court. The Court also held that the military authorities, who assumed to try the case in 1865, had no jurisdiction.’’ Republican Dress on Ka-KInx Bill. The New York Evening Post, a leading Re publican journal, speaks of the Ku-Klux bill, which lately passed the House, and is to be voted on to-day in the Senate in the following terms: “ Every constitutional restriction upon the power of the Executive is withdrawn, and in stead ot the Constitution and its checks, the nation is left to the voluntary forbearance and sound judgment of the President as the so’e safeguard for its liberties. If he should choose at any lime to declare the city of New York or of Washington in rebellion, and to take posses sion of it with the army, under the wiil of him self as commander-in-chief, the people must choose between submission and armed resist ance to the enforcement of an act of Congress. That is to say, it gives the color of law to such a coup d'etat as made Napoleon III master of France.” The Commercial Advertiser, another Repub lican paper, says: “ The disturbed condition of affairs in some ot the Southern States, due to political animosity, is not to be permanently bettered by enactments which threaten to sub vert all local rule, and to establish in its place the strong hand of the Federal authority." The South wants no more military govern ment. That is the very cause of ail the trouble, with the imported governments that have sprung from n and been imposed on its people. If tbe Southern States are to become States again in tact as well as in name, it can only be by the free and sovereign act of their own in habitants aud citizens This military experi ment is the boldest, most perilous and truly rum u? of ad the proceedings of the time. It not only d 1-rs the dtstreu consummation of political' unity, it threatens to mak- it utterly impossible. It. makes a Poland, sn Ireland of the South; aud in the act it inseusioiy destroys tbe virtue of Republicanism in the North also. Farewell Union, it it is to be one of force. Dis miss all thoughts of a continental confederation of harmonious and prosperous States, if one had thinks of holding t ie oilier dowa by the bayonet. Yet so siu-'taimis a crime against Repul,Sici'i iiL-t-riy has been deliberately con ceived oy Executive ambition, and a consenting Congress is obsequiously seconding its consum mation. This bill before the Senate makes the President a military dictator, and all the Gov ernment we have—State and National—will speedily lapse into a military form unless the people take the alarm and pronounce, as the patriots of the Revolution pronounced, in meet ings al! over the land against this usurpation at the White House.—Boston Post. Tbe Pennsylvania Biot. The New York World, of “the 9th instant, says: “ The reported riot of the Pennsylvania min ers proves "io be of a mnch less serious nature than was at first anticipated, and the troops sent to Scranton by Governor Geary have with drawn to the fair grounds, about one mile from the city. The strike is still continued, but the miners are orderly and attempt no interfe renc * with other workmen." Atlanta and Her Surrounding*. Mr. Editor—1 have, for some time; had my mind greatly aroused as to the city of Atlanta. In the wild and speculative views of many of our citizens, as to the almost unparallelled progress of «but— city, they seem to have lost sight of the fact that to sustain and keep up the progressive movement now on foot, a general system of economy must be adopted in the ad ministration of her government, and a liberal course pursued in the demands made upon the resources of the inhabitants by taxation. There can be nothing more clear to the minds of the people, who heve closely watched the every day occurrences around us,than that one of the most serious, and to me a very alarming one, drawbacks upon our mercantile and mechanical interests, is the excessive rents, which are de manded by landlords. This may be Been in the everyday changes made by tenants, both in bus iness and private houses. Hundreds who have engaged in business in Atlanta, and “run well awhile,” have been compelled to close their bus iness, as the result of excessive rents, while some other enters the same house, hoping to.be more fortunate, and soon meets with the same results. In this way there is one continuous stream of tenants, each one falling a new victim to the same calamity. This evil is equally applicable to those who are compelled to rent private houses. A class oi men, known as mechanics ; the very men upon whom our future prosperity and success as a people must greatly depend, if we hope to sustain our reputation abroad as the Gate City. The exhorbitaut rents demanded trom the merchant, mechanic and laboring classes, will stop up every avene to wealth, and foraver close the doors against those who would seek homes among us with their enterprise and capital. Anolher alarming evil, which I feel it a duty to allude to, is one no less discouraging and op pressive upon all classes ot our people, that of the heavy aud burthensome taxes levied by the City Council. That money must be had to car ry on the municipal affairs of city government, I will not deny; hut, that a special tax must be levied upon the mechanic or the professional man, is at least questionable, in law, and should at once be obliterated from the statutes. Am I asked how the government can be sustained ? I answer, curtail expenses, have fewer fat offices, and Eutopean schemes of “Water Works,” and “Free Schools”—the “Siamese Twins” ot those who expect to reap, at no distant day, large re wards tor their labors. And yet ahother, of immense magnitude, that of tearing down houses, ripping up potato patches, for the purpose ot opening Broad street. If we would have the city to grow in wealth and greatness, lower the rents and reduce tbe sys tem of taxation. When this shall have been done, than thousands who are frightened off from a knowledge of these existing lacts, will rush in with their capatal and energy, unite in giving an impetus to that grand scheme which mast ultimately make us the glory and admira tion of the East and West. Bat, take the reverse of this—keep up rents, increase your taxation and demand payment even at the sacrifice of the poor man’s property, and my word for it, you will find your mer chants seeking new fields of labor, your me chanics starved out by oppression, and the future of Atlanta a mere mist, an atom in the sunbeam, compared to what it might have been, under a different organization of things. The greit Atlantic & West Railroad, the mighty artery, wnich gives life and nutrition to the city, must, under the present order of things feel more or leo* the shock. Drive out the en terprising merchants through the agencies ol rents and taxes, and you at once cut off one of the resources of the road; bat encourage en terprise, by increasing the advantages of the merchant and the mechanic, and all other de velopments which may be brought to bear upon our general welfare, then this immense feeder to our prosperity will pour into onr midst im mense and untold treasures which will render ns a happy and prosperous people, and make Atlanta the queen ot the South. XXX. The Tribune Ku-Klux editor is still ku-kluck- ing over his mare’s ties*'. H 1 ® ’ast Fenration is an announcement that ex-Govere r Orr, of South Carolina, has been threatened oecause he has turned Radical. This is indeed OrrluL—N, T, Leader, Bride oi iho Black Veil. The Chronicle newspaper, of Cincinnati, gives thfi points ot a little romance in reality, which deserves narration, if on no other account than because it is thoroughly un-American. During the dimmer of 1869, an only son ot one of the wealthiest merchants of the city above named, while raralizing for the season in Adams coun ty, Aame State, had his volatile fancy strongly attracted by a village belle of more than ordi nary beauty and accomplishments, and forth with devoted himself to what he intended should be no more than harmless sentimental pastime. The yonng lady, however, was not a person to be flirted with and then forgotten, like the ordi- nay country lass, and early in the acquaintance the city beau found himself too serious ly interested to carry out his first self-con ceited idea. In fact, before returning to the city he made an explicit avowal ot his unchangeable affection, and, after persistent soiitit&tion, induced the maiden to promise him her hand if his lamily should approve the engagement This latter was a consideration which had not yet entered into the speculations ot the hasty suitor, and the more he thought of it after tbe reminder the less became his confidence in the likelihood ot its favorable result. Still, upon rejoining his father in the city, he maniufly related all the circumstances ot the case, explained that his sweetheart was a well educated orphan, with $3 009, and eardteatly besought the paternal cou- sent to his proposed alliance. The old gentle man was an invalid, very anxious that his son should be well settled in domestic life before succeeding to his patrimony; but the idea ot that only son’s marriage with a country girl ot neither family nor appreciable estate was not at all agreeable to him, and, upon finally exacting the supplementary information that ihe daugh ter-in-law proposed to him was a lioman Cath olic, he flatly refused to sanction the misalli ance. Furthermore, his arguments were oi such force, or the filial mind to which they were ad dressed oi such weakness, that the son- himself began to doubt the wisdom of his own choice, and, in consequence, wrote to Adams County a letter of implied retraction, not to be misunderstood by any high-3pirited girl In short, he required htr to change her religion; and her very proper answer was a formal release of him from all engage ments witb the writer. While, however, the girl had the self respect and virtuous strength of mind to accord such release to another, she could not as readily free her own heart in m the absorbing love to which it had been com mitted for life; and, accordingly, sooa after act ing as above, she withdrew quietly trom her na tive village and entered a convent in a neigh boring State as a boarder, tbus seeking tlik con solation of religion lor her griet, and preparing herseli, as she contemplated, for an ultimate retirement from the world lor life. So, the fickle lover, with his dying father, and the re jected ladv in a nunnery, the two remained virtual strangers to each other until a sh >rt time ago; when, one day after receiving a letter, the fair novice was surprised in her room oy one ot the sisterhood on her knees in passi'n- ate prayer for a soul departed and another almost ready to follow. The letter, in tremu lous characters, was lrom the untauhtul lover ot two years ago, relating his lather’s recent death and his own critical illness, and irnplor ing the only woman whom he had ever loved to come to him at once. He was being ca;ed lor by his two sisters in a country house be longing io the family, a short dis tance lrom Cincinnati; and thither at his sum mons repaired the one of all the world whosi presence aud forgiveness were necessary to ihe peace of his sell-accusing soul The reunion ol the lovers took place beside the death-bed of the merchant’s son, who, in his conscience stricken importunity, would not credit the pardon of hi visitor unless she should consent to wed him a: he lay there dying. His mourning sisters join ing in this intreaty, the orphan could not main tain her first refusal; and so, with death nt. t lu door, a priest performed the cermony oi mam- age, and in less than an hour thereafter, a wid owed maid wept with the sisters .for her dead, Alter the funeral it was made known that ike departed bridegroom had bequeathed a lull kali of his rich inheritace to his wile, who, it is on derstood, will endow with it the convent which it is her intention to assume the Dlack veil — Thus ends a romance of a tone and coloring savoring far more of Europe thau America, ant cot a-together insignificant, perhaps, oi thetran sitioaal religious changes assimuiating us mote and more every year to the spiritual systems of older countries.

These diseases have seldom been treated sncccs9tully. The profession hSs sought diiigent- for some remedy that would enable them to treat lese diseases with success.

Tne board of commissioners, consisting Generals Barnes, Schriver and Michler, appoint ed by Congress to inspect the pi- s er model of Henry Browne’s equtstrian statue oi the kite Major General Winfield Scott, arrived in New barg one day this week in carrying out their m s siou The model was accepted some months ago, but it is not yet completed. Their social business at this visit was to examine rim military trapp ngs oi the statue, as these have to be mad coniorurable to usages, which are as intiexiole as the proverbially strict “laws oi the Medes and Persians." The inspectors found everything in “apple-pie order,” and expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the correct as Weil as artistic manner in which the work had been done. The statue will stand sixteen feet and six inches in height, and the length will ot course, according to rules sculptoriai, be the same. It is two feet six inches higher and longer than Mr. Browne’s statue oi General Washington in Union square, New York city. About the 1st Oi June the work will be completed, aud the model will then be removed in sections to Wood’s foundry, in Philadelphia, where the work of moulding and casting in metal will be performed, occupying about one year. The materials to be used in casting the statue are to t»e some of the pieces oi artil.cry which Scott captured in his Mexican campaign, aud it will weigh between three aud four thousands pouuds. It is to be erected iu Franklin square, Washing ton. The horse is model ed trom a Kentucky thoroughbred that was recaptured lrom the great guerilla(?) John Morgan, at the time of his raid in Ohio during the war, and which i3 now in the possession ot Mr. Browne. VIorgan had run oft about $39,000 worth oi suck lrom the larm ol Mr. Alexander, an extensive horse breeder, and among the rest was this animal—a splendid looking equine, and wor thy to be taken as a model ior Scott’s charger—which was re-taken from Morgan. The position of the horse is admirably chosen to express both repose and watchful attention. The ears are erect and the nostrils inflated, as il the beast, silently obeying the will of its rider, Still “scuffed the battle from afar,” and was im patient to “mingle in the fray.” The reii s ate held loosely in the General's left hand, whiie the right, restiDg on his hip, grasps his field glass. He wears the inevitable chapeau, which he never could be persuaded to lay aside, but which the military men of these degenerate times have geueraliy discarded, wearing instead the “regulation cap.” The artist has been at work upon this statue for about two years. The first appropriatioa made by Congress to defray the expense of it was $20,000, but subsequently an additional sum ol $15,000 was appropriated, the original amount proving inadequate to cover the cost. During the progress oi the work a large number of artists, from New York and other cities, have visited Mr. Browne’s studio, which is charmingly located on the lett bank of the Hudsou. about two miles north ot New- burg. nr «■ At a banquet celebration oi the battle of Banker Hill, Thomas Gill, the Boston editor, who died a while ago, told his neighbor at the table that his father fought at Bunker Hill Up on which the neighbor jumped into the first space between orations aud announced the fact, and named the worthy sou oi the noble sire who was with them. And then there was a thundering applause, the glasses were filled high to the patriot father and son, and there were irresistible calls lor “Gill! Gill!’’ until he arose and made a speech, short, to-wit: “Gen tlemen, my father was a soldier in that never- to-be-torgotten fight, but he was in the British ranks.” He sat down amid loud silence, and the banqueters, paying uo more attention to Gill, went along about their regular business. North Carolina can hardly be classed as a literary Commonwealth. It has a population of over one million people, and .there are only about sixty newspapers and periodicals pub lished in the 8iate. A sensation was created in the financial cir cles ol Memphis, on Saturday, by the discovery that a lormer officer ol the Memphis & Ohio Railroad, aod lately an important Federal offi cer, had been trying to sell a large amount of bonds previously alleged to have been burned. On examination of the books, ajalse entry was iound to have been made yesterday, he having lett fresh blotting paper lying by the book, showing the entry. Legal proceedings have been instituted. The story is told of old Judge Yose, of New Hampshire, in his last days, when almost life- levs through j uralysis: A neighbor came iu, who wv a understood te have seen better days, bat had been redneed by improvidence or bad habits to rather a dilapidated condition. He, however, appeared this day, quite unexpectedly, in a pretty suit oi clothrs. The Judge re marked the change, and inquired if he was in mourning tor any one. “ No,” was the reply, “only tor my sins.” The Judge raised up at the moment, and but tor a moment, and, with his former droll look and bis latter broken ar- ticuibtion, aiiud, “ boot any ot ’tm J" i Faibborn, Ga., September 4,1808.
