The alarm was accompanied by a
general shriek, which rcsounded
through the whole house, and tho
botchery among the servants of tho

lorn condition.
There was not a single individual
who possessed a weapon. except the

From the Boston NcrCs Letter.
PATHETIC TALE.

An interesting young lauy Of this
city, related the following story to
ine IA few evenings since. wliJI pos
sesses sufficient interest, ! believe,
to cntitle it TO place in the City
Record.
About forty yearsago. a gentle
man from the western scCtiLn. of
Massachusetts, lawyer by profess
ion, of the Iinest talent, who also pos
sesscd noble person, became attach.
cd to a young lady from the interi-
or Of South Carolina, visiting the
northern states for the recovery of
her health. Their AcquaintanSc,sf-
ter suitable preliminaries, rii'encd
into that ardent Affections. which is
really the foundation Of all the do
mcstLc happiness and all the virtue
that enrichcs the world. She re-
turned to her fathers in October, to-
make preparations for completing
the happiness of the man of her
choice. Full of hope for the future,
in possessing the dearest being on
whom his fond eye had ever ga&rd,
he took leave of his family at tie
close OF the following December, with
the expectation of returning in the
spring with the object Of his love.
The very afternoon on which he
arrived at G.. within a half mile of
his bethrothed Isabella. All early &C
quaintance Or his youth, wbo had
been settled in that remote quarter
of the world. as it was then called,
nearly twenty years, and who had
accumulated a princely !ortunc by
his own persevering industry. acci-
den.ally saw him alight at tho hotel.
No argument would prevail, and he
was unconsciously carried in his
friends carriage to lis beautiful man
sion, skirted by a grove of orange
trees, ere ho could sond his card To
the lovely Isabella, who expected bis
arrival would be rs punCtual as his
correspondence. Love Of the pur-
est character always looks with con-
iidence, and this led tie fair Isabel
la, for the first time, To wonder why
Charles could be SO forgetul Of his
promise.
Atthe hour of six, she cast a
gloomy eye towards the road which
& h aries should have come, but she
could only weep for a disappoint-
me mt she could not control.
Mr.. p. was scarcely seated in the
parlor of his hospitable friend, ere
house was attacked by a band oi
lawless runaway negroes, Who car
ried slaughter and death wherever
they moved. The destruction of the
whites was the great object Of their
midnight prowling, while the booty

MIR. GILES.

The election in the district lately represented by
Mr.. Randolph, has resulted in favor of DIR. Crump.
Mr. Giles was the opposing candidate. The two
candidates, understand, We're personal and po-
iiical friends, and both belong to that high-mind-
ed, talented, republican band of Statesmen who
constitute the glory of the patriotic State of Vir-
sinia. The election of either of them is considered
a source OF qualification in these days of trimming
and corruption, when the rights and feelings of
" TIE common class of people are condemned
and outraged. MIR. Giles not an inhabitant of
the district in which he was candidate and he
was unexpectedly brough, forward. after the feel
nSs OF the voters III the district had generally been
engaged in favor of others, by some friends who
were solicitous of opportunity of testifying
their admiration OF his talents, independence ard
ncorrupibe integrity. Notwithstanding this, and
although the mnions of power have been making
the most strenuous exertions against him. yet he
was so srenuously supported that DR.. Ctump re-
ceived but twenty-seven votes majority. The
vote given 10 Mr.. Giles IA district to which he
did not belong, is sore disappointment 10 those
who calculated, aud not without reason, that his
support would be slender one. Virginia has al
ways been true TO the cause ofthe people. In the
days OF the revolution, she among the foremost
in opposition to British tyranny In the civil re-
voluion of 1901, which brought into power the
" Islam OF Democracy she was 90 at the head of
the column which made the first breach in the
walls OF corrupt aristocracy. At the present
day she Is nobly contending for the rights OF the
people and the constitution of her country with
the same courage aud energy with which she ressted
