Graves and Cilley. Some of those who for that putpose are new urging on the investigation, may have cause to repent the parts which they themselves acted in the affair prior to its fatal termination. The impression is attempted to be created that Mr. Cilley was driven into it and then shot down in an unfair and murderous manner. We are advised that it will turn out 1 that his own immediate personal and political Iriends urged him to hold on to that position which would compel Mr. Graves to tight, they believing Mr. C. to be an unerring shot with a rifle. Bo confident were they that the result would prove fatal to Mr. Graves, that Mr. Benton on the evening of the union unate affair, when it was publicly known that the parlies had gone out to fight, with his -watch in his hand exul lingly exclaimed that ‘'Mr. Graves was ere that a dead man !” And Mr. Fairfield, a col league of Mr. Cilley, and the same who moved> for the investigating Committee, openly talked of the fact in the House of Jtepresentatives, ik'at the Duel was going on, and that Air, Cilley would surely kill Mr. Graves. We abhor the very idea of making such an affair a party question, and if some of those mem bers of Congress who are making it such, had made themselves as active before the finale of the tragedy, as they have since made themselves busy its mournful consequences might have been avoided —a brave and promising man might haVe been saved a premature death, and his equally brave knd honoranlc competitor the bitter pangs 'of reflecting that he had taken the life of one who thad no enmity towards him. We do not profess to be conversant with the code by which those are Igiverned, who resort to this mode of settling disputes, but as Mr. Cilley submitted to it as the proper mode, we cannot pet Oeive how his case varies from that of others who have fallen victims in the same manner. The better of Col. Webb, which was the cause of this unfortunate affair, was not a challenge. It was a very respectful call upon Mr. Cilley for an ex planation of language Used by him, imputing base corruption to Col. Webb. Such a letter should at least have been received and answered, whether he intended to fight Webb or not, and when Mr. Graves informed him that Sf he pul his refusal on th<e ground that his principal was not a gentleman, he himself would be under the necessity of taking life controversy upon himself, it was certainly wrottg to “throw it in Mr Graves’ way,” by occupying that very position. His selection, W l , of the rifle, shOwbd that once in for it, ho was determined to make the contest a bloody one. We do not make these remarks for the purpose of censuring an amiable man, now in his grave—doubtless both patties are to blame in some degree—but to point out, that while many are exclaiming passionately and immoderately against his living antagonist, that he himselt was equa'liv guilty, so far as criminality is involved, And committed some errors of judgment, but for Ahiclt,!he might now be living.

Jesup’s Camp, at Jupiter Inlet, with whom hs was hav ing a talk. The conference may or may not terminate In their agreeing to abide the decision of the President as to remaining or removing West of the Mississippi. The proposition of Gen. Jesup is, that he will recommend to the President that the Indians bo permitted tore-, main in Florida, but if the President refuses then the Indiana must go. If t tlae Indians agree to this proposition, then there is a probability that the war may soon be over.” Mr Booth, t.io celebrated tragedian, attempted to destroy himself by drowning, while on his passage from N.

Gallant Defen^se.— On Tuesday night last, we learn that the Indians made another attack upon Ihe dwelling of Mr. Chatletts about 8 miles east of the Delia, —His family were in bed and were awakened by the discharge of the rifles and yells of the savages. They attempted to force ihe door, Mr. Ohalletts allowed thertl to burst rtlf a plank and waited (iatieillly Until he distinctly saw the Indian, when he discharged a double barrelled gun at the opening, the contents of which had such effect that the marauders took to flight, carrying off their companion no doubt mortally wounded. The trail was followed next day by a small parly under Major Scott McGhee; until they dispersed in a thick hammock.

[Muza is the lover of Leila—Alamen her father : Muza, leaving Grenada after iu capitu lation, encounters Alamen, who promises to gutdo him to Leila, but tbu Moor is unaware of (lie relation of the astrologer to his beloved.] But that scene and that sound so calculated to soothe and harmonise the thdlighls, seemed to arouse Alamen to agony and passion, lie smote fits breast with hts clenched band ; and shrieking, rather than exclaiming, 14 God of my faihers! have I come tod late I” buried his spurs to the towels in the sides of his paining steed. Along the award, through the fragrant shrubs, athwart the pebbly and shallow torrent, up the ascent to llto convent sped the Israelite. Muza, wonder ing, and half reluctant, followed at a liltlb dis tance. dealer and neater came the voices of the choir ; broader and redder glowed the tapers trum the Gothic casements; die porch of the convent chapel was reached ; the Hebrew sprang trout his horse. A small group of the pea-ants dependent on the convent loitered reiererttly round the threshold: pushing through them as I otto frantic Alamen entered the chapel and dis appeared. A minute elapsed. Muza was at the door; but the Moor paused irresolutely ere he dis moun ed. 44 What is the ceremony 1” ho asked of the peasants. 41 A nun is about to lake the vow,” answered one of them. A cry of alarm, of indignation, of terror was heard within. Muza no longer delayed; he f a ve bis steed to the bystanders, pushed aside the heavy curtain that screened the threshold, and was within thechapal. By the altar gathered a confused and disor t deied giauc, me sisterhood with their abuses.— r Round the consecrated rail flocked the spectators breathless and amazed. Conspicuous above the rest, on the elevation of the holy pluco, stood , Alamen, with his drawn dagger in his right 3 hand, his left cla-ped round the limn of a novice, whose dress, not yet replaced hy the surge, he. j spoke her the sister luted lor lire veil! and on the opposite side ot that sister, one hand on her shoulder, the other rearing on high the sacred I crucifix, stood a stern, calm, commanding form, in the while robes of the UoiOiniciAu order; it was Thomas de Torquamadk “Avaunt, Abaddon 1” were the first words that reached Muza’s car, as he atood unnoticed in lf}e middle of the aisle, “ here shy sorcery and the ans cannot avail thee, Release the devoted ■ one Os God!” ( “ She is mine ! she is my daughter. I claim ' jipr from thee as a father, in the name of the great Sire of man!” i “ Seize the sorcerer! seize him!” exclaimed the inquisitor, as, with a sudden movement, Ah i imimcn cleared his way through the scattered and . dismayed group, and stood with Iris anus, on the first step of die consecrated platform. Hut riot a loot stirred, mil a hand was raised. The epithet bestowed on the intruder had only breathed n supernatural terror into the audience; And they would have sooner rustled upon a liger in his las ihun on the lifted diVgger and tiuvage aspect of that giim stranger. “Oh ! my lather 1” then said a low and full ering voice, that stalled Muza us a voice frorfi the grave, “ wresde not against the decrees of Hea ven. Thy daugh er is not compelled to her solemn choice. Humbly, hut devotedly, a con vert to the Christian creed, Iter only wisli oo earth is to lake the consecrated and eternal vow.” “ Ha!” gioancd die Hebrew, suddenly relax ing his hold as his daughter fell on her knees be fore him, “ then have 1 indeed been told, us 1 have foreseen, the worst. The veil is rent —the spiiit hath left the temple; thy beauty is dese • crated; thy form is hut unhallowed clay.— “ Dog 1” he cried more fiercely, glaring round upon the unmoved face of the inquisitor, “ tills is thy work; but thou shall not triumph. Here, by thine own shrine, I spit at and defy thee, usance before, amid the tortures of ihy inhuman court. Thus—thus—Almamen the Jew delivers (lie last of his house from the curse of Galilee 1” “ Hold, murderer 1” cried a voice of thunder; and an armed man huisl through the crowd and stood upon the platform. It was too lute; thrice the blade of the Hebrew had passed through that innocent breast; thrice it was reddened with that virgin blood. Leila fell in the aims of her [ lover; her dim eyes rested upon his countenance is ii shofie upoVi her ben'eftth his lifted visor; A faint and lender smile played upon her lips ; Leila w as no more. One hasty glance A lift a men cast upon hi* vic tim; and ih'en, with A wild laugh that woke every echo in the dieary aisles, he Iciped from th'eplicA '> brandishing his bloody weapon above his head', he dashed through the coward crowd ; and, ere even the startled Uominician had found a voice, ihe (ramp of his headlong steed rang upon the air; an irtklAVil; and all was silent. Hut over that murdered girl leaned the Moor, ns yet incredulous of hei death; her head, slill unshorn of its purple Hesses, pillowed on his lap, her icy'hand clasped in his, and her blood weltering fast over his armor. None disturbed him ; for, habited as the knights of Christendom, none suspected his faith; and all, even the Doml nlcian, fell a thrill of sympathy at his distress.— With the quickness of comprehension common to those chines, they understood at once that it was a lover who sustained that beautiful clay.— How he came thither, with what object, what hope, their thoughts were too much locked up in pity to conjecture. There, voiceless and mo tionless bent the Moor; until one ol the monks approached and felt the pulse to ascertain if life was utterly gone. The Moor at first waved him haughtily away, hut, when he divined the monk’s pm pose, suffered him in silence to lake the beloved hand. He fixed on him his dark and imploring eyes; and when the father diopped the hand, and gently shaking his hcAd, turned avAay A deep And ago nising groan was all that the audience heard from that heart which the last iron of late had entered. Passionately he kissed the brow, tho cheeks, the 8 lips of the hushed and angel face, and rose from the spot. “What dost thou licrcl and tkhat knowest thou of yon murderous enemy of God and man ’!” asked the Uominician approaching. Muza made no reply, as h« stalked slowly through the chapel'. The aqdlehco was touched to sudden tears; “Foihear!” said they, almost with one accord, to the harsh inquisitor; “ho hath no voice to answet thee.” And (bus, amid the oppressive grief and sym pathy of the Christian throng, the unknown Pay nim teAched the door; mounted his steed, and, as he turned once more, and casta hurried glance upon the fatal pile, the bystanders saw the large tears rolling down hissworthy checks. Slowly that coal black charger wound down the hillock, crossed tho quiet and lovely garden, vanished amid the forest. And never was known to Moor or Christian the future fate of the hero of Grenada, Whether he reached in safety the shores of his ancestral Africa, and carved out new iomU! 108 and a new name •or whether death, by disease or strife, terminated obscurely his glo rious and brief career, mystery, deep and unpene traled, even hy the fancies of the thousand hards who have consecrated his deeds, wraps in ever lasting shadow the destinies of Muza lien Ahil Gazan, from that hour when Ihe setting sun threw its parting ray over his stately form, and his ebon barb disappearing amid the breathless shadows of the forest, r The Reconciliation* Well, I think it’s likely; but don’t tease ! me any more. Your brothel' has mArried a poor girl, one whom I forbid him to wed, and * I wont forgive him if they all starve togelh; ! «r.” This speech was addressed to a lovely girl ,’ scarcely eighteen, beautiful as the lily that , hides itself beneath the dark waters. She , was parting the silvery locks on her father’s ’ nigh, handsome forehead, of which her own , was a iilinature, and pleading the cause oflier delinquent brother, who had married in op. . position to her tattler’s will, and had conse ( qnenlly disinherited. Mr. VVhcatly was a s rich old gentleman, a resident of Boston. 3 He was a fat, good natnred old fellow, some ; what given to mirth and wine, and sat In his s arm cnair frotrl morning lilt mglii, Stroking 1 Ins pipe and reading the newspapers. Some s tunes a story of his own exploits in our rev • okitionaiy battles, filled up a passing hour. He had two children, the disooedient son, 1 and the beaut ful girl before spoken of. The ' fond girl went on pleading: J ‘Dear father, do forgive him; you don’t j know what a beautiful girl lie has married, and—” s ‘I think it’s likely," said tnu o'd man— ‘but 0 don’t tease mo, and open the door a little, u this plaguy room smokes so.’ 1 * Well,’ continued Ellen, ‘won’t you just ’ i sec her now 1 she is so good -and the little r- boy, he looks bo innocent.’ I ‘What did you any. l ' interrupted Hit; tamer, j‘a hoy !—have 1 a grand child! Why, Ellen, I never knew that, before—but I think it’s likely. Well, now give me my chocolate, and then goto your music lesson.’ Ellen left him. The old man’s heart begun to relent. ‘Well,’ he went on, ‘Charles Was always a good boy, a little wild or so at college, but 1 indulged,him—and lie was always good lo his old lather fbr alb; but lie disobeyed mein marrying this poor girl; yet, as my old friend and I'e low soldier, Tom Bonner, used to say, We must forgive.

This plaguy smoky room —hd\V rhy eVes vyaterl Ift did but know who this girl was, that my Charles has mar ried'; hut I have never inquired her name.

His curly linir and ro sy cheeks could not hot make one love him. ‘Who is that!' said the old man, wiping Ins eyes. * That, that is Charles’ boy,’ said Ellon, throwing one of her arms around her fathers neck, with tho other she placed the child on his knee. The child looked tenderly no in | his face, and lisped out. ‘Grand-pu, what makes you cry sol' The old min clasped the child to Ins bos- Imu and kissed him again and again. After his emotion had a lituc subsided, he bade the child to toll Ins name. ‘Thomas Bonner Whoatly,’said the boy, ‘1 am nnined alter my grandfather/ ‘What do 1 heat!’ said the old man,‘Thom as Bonner your grandfather'!' Yes,’lisped the bov, ‘and he lives with me at .” •Get me my cane,’ said the old man, ‘and come Ellen—be quick, child.’ Tney started off at a quick pace, which soon brought thuin to the poor, though neat lodgings of Ids son. There he beheld his old friend, Thomas Bonner, sealed in one corner weaving baskets, while Ins swathed 1 mbs showed how unable lie was to perform Hie necessary task. His lovely daughter, the wile of Charles, was preparing their frugal me.il, and Charles was out seeking employment to support his needy family, •It’s all tpy fault,’sobbed the old man, as he embraced his friend, who was nearly pet rified with amazement. ‘Come,’said Mr. Wheatly, ‘come all of you home W;th me, we will all live together; there is plenty of room in my house for us all." By tins time Charles had come, lie asked his lather’s forgiveness, wlnqli was freely lor given, and Ellen was almost mad with joy. 'Ob, how happy we shall be!’ she eitdatm te'd, ‘and lather will love onr little Thomas so, ’ and he will be your pet, wont he, father!’ ‘Ay,’ said the old man, ‘I think it’s very j Ikey.’ I A Dialog uk. —‘lsaac, have you paid (he , printers !’ inquired an old Indy to her hits ■ band, who was delighting the family circle bj reading to them a line looking newspaper— (excuse our blushes, for the Editors are a modest ns n aidons.) ‘No Rebecca; 1 have not;’ answered the old man, adjusting Ins spectacles—‘But you know it is only n trifle. Toe printers, I see give a very polite dun, hnt they cannot mean me, as 1 am one of their political friends and at all even’s, my three dollars would he but a trifling moiety lo them,’ 4 Well, Isaac, if all their subscribers were the same thing, the poor fellows would starve, unless they could conjure their types into corn, and their press into a flour mill. And surely you. as their friend,' should he more punctual in paying them, than if you wen their political enemy; besides it would sho-v your attachment for them and the good cause which they advocate. ‘1 thought of settling ray subscription when I was ill town last,’ said Isaac, wincing from the lablc. ’hilt the money which 1 received fn my produce was belter than used, and I disliked to part with it.” ‘Wny, certainly, yod would not pay them in bad money, Itsadc.' ‘No, my dear; but sometimes I am obliges to take uncurrent paper, and I prefer paying my debts in that, when I can get it off— O tnese banks, these banks!—Any wav—that sort would suit, the printers just as well, |is they don’t keep it long. My neighbor Junks, said he passe.i off some on them that nobody else would take, and they did not refuse it. ‘Shame on yon, Isaac,’ exclaimed the good old lady—‘Yon won d not. I hope, imitate the example of that miserable fellow Jonhs—why ho would cheat the P.iraun nut of half his sti- 1 pend, and pay the balance in trade.' ‘Yet he paid the printers, grandma, inter rupUu " l.'Rle flaxen-headod mHe, who stood bes de her grand fither’s knr es. ‘Well, well; I will call and pay them,’ said the old gentleman, not a little nettled—‘for an article I read in their paper the other day, was worth twice the amount of the subscription.’ ‘And yon know, grandpa, yon said that that piece about the counterfeiters saved you twen ty dollars, winch you would have taken from the yankec pedlcr,' again interrupted the lit tle gir!. i ‘Yes, it did so, Mary—and for that, when I go to town, I’ll pay off my old score, and next year in advance,into the bargain.’ Mr. Isaac kept Ills word, like an hon est man. And whether because bis cons cience smote him about the uficurrenl money, or because lie was convinced o( the excel lence of the arguments of his amiable spouse and rosy cheeked grandchild, we cannot say : he that as it may, we assure our readers our pockets rang with the tangible prn/f of Isaac’s probity and patronage and tcc paid our debts.
