Winter and Spring passed, and nc seemed
aware that he could not look forward To a
long continuance of life. In accordance
with his EXPRESSED wish, Isabelle determine
ed TO visit once more, the spot which had
been the scene Of the most trying struggles
of her past life, and by easy stages, suited
20 the weak condition of the invalid, they
reached Bedford Springs at last.
BY strange coincidence the room al
Iotted them was the same in which Alice
died, and Isabelle shuddered as she recol-
lected the scene, and thought upon the prob
ability ofwitnessing a repetition of it. To-
gether, when his strength would permit,
they visited his sisters grave and calmly
he spoke Of his intended resting place be-
side her, and tried to prepare Isabelle for
his speedy departure. At length he was
able TO walk out no more hour by hour he
became weaker, and death was approaching
with hasty stride. Throughout all those
hours of suffering, Isabelle sat beside him
and held his hand clammy with the damps
of de ath, in hers, and wiped the cold dew
from his forehead, and held her vigil of love
with an unwearying and fervent devotion Of
which few would have thought her capable.
But the reprcve from agony came at last.
The fiat so long expected had gone forth,
ard George Graham brcathed his last upon
the bosom which had borne for him such
unchanging and unselfsh affection. Isa-
belle saw him laid beside his sister in her
last quiet resting place, and returned 10 the
worl.l, lonely in heart and spirit, and sigh
ing ardently for the time when she should
reioiu in "A better world, him she had loved
in this. Years have passed since then, and
Isabelle might be seen, the same resigned
hopeless creature, the day of his death be-
held her, and Notwithstanding her beauty,
for she is fair still, and her gold, for she has
much of this worlds wealth, no idle suitor
has ever dared to pollue her ear with his
addresses. She remains in heart as in name
the widow Of George Graham. And this is
the woman the world siigmalzed as the
hcartlcss coquette and uufeeiing hir.
With what has;y judgements do we de-
nounce the actions of individuals, without
for n moment considering that they may
proceed from motives, if not justifiabls, at
least extenuatng, and how truly has the
poet snd--
"Try, and perhaps thou mayest not err
To sound the depths Of Oceans caves,
Where long and late the mariner
Impes his bark or unknown waves;
But try not with thine utmost art
To fahom all the human heart"

FOREIGN NEWS.

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
The packet ship Sheffield, at New York,
from Liverpool, brings London and Liver
pool papers to March ll,h.
A deputation has arrived at London to
plead the cause of the poor people of The
Highlands and Islands OF Scotland, who
are perishing from famine. Upwards o
10000 were reduced to total destitution
They have but five months provisions. A
meeting Of the charitable is called at the
Egyptian hall.
A dissolution of the French chambers is
still talked of. The deputies are found not
exactly palateable to the Ministers. No
change of the Cabinet will take place at
present. Count Mole is determined to test
the opposition in the Chambers by demand
ing two millions of francs of secret funds.
SPAIN.-By latest accounts from Spain
to March 4th, it appears the Carlists arc
now masters of oil the valleys between
France aud Pampeluna. Don Carlos,
March Sd, was at Andoain. The Queens
army in Navarro nre totally cut of from
communication with France.
Tristany, the now celebrated Carlist
chieftian, has 5000 partisans. At Cervera
he took rich convoy, and killed 300 of the
Queens troops.
The Queens generals, Espartcro, Sars-
field and Evans, appear to be inactive, aud
in a bad plight. 1t is feared tue Carlisls
will come to the gates of Madrid.

We recommend the following article
which we copy from the Pennsylvania OF
Saturday last, to the perusal of our readers.
There are many in this vicinity who are in
the habit Of charging all evil to "6xed
cause" who might read it to advantage.
1t is certainly one of the most agreeable
and convenient things in the world, either
for individuals or for political faction to
have one fixed cause to which to refer
their troubles. 1t saves world Of think
ing, and by shorthand process, it sup
plies the place of all argument. Under any
circumstances Of annoyance, this method
Of practice is always available, and it mat
tiers little to how low an ebb invention may
be reduced. The 4" fixed cause" remains
like peg in the wall, on which every CON-
plant is to be hung. The press speaking
the voice Of the faction, aud giving the cue
to its declaimcrs, is thus exempt from fa-
liguc. Occur what may, it has merely tn
revert TO the men or the measures which il
has chosen to make responsible for the er-
tors of its friends, and upon these to charge
The embarrassmenis which besst the COM
munity. This petbod Of argument has

terest must fail and suspend business-oI
the whole banking interest stop specie pay
ments. During the last two days, the pro-
priety ola general suspension OF specie pay
nents is actually argded too, in the street
On this point we dread TO speak out what
ybat we hear. 1t is certain that since lSl2
such hurricane has not swept over the
commerce Of the United States.

The money market on Saturday contin-
ned in the same unsettled, excitable condlt-
ion.
In the stock market, the fluctuations were
remarkable. Several city bank stocks have
fallen terribly during the week, and on Sat
urlay they stood as low as ever, while sew
e,al of the wretched fancy stocks rose from
3 to 5 per cent The Phoenix Bank stock,
a few months ago, sold for l24-it is now
down to par, or nearly; State Bank from
iI2 to 94; and Manhattan Bank, also
Down. The fall in these bank stocks ar
ries from the probable apprehension o
loses BY the recent failures.
The failures continue without ntermi,-
sion. A large importing house suspended
on Saturday, for an amount varying from
one to two millions. This failure, as usual
carried many others with it. The amour,
Of commercial paper now daily laying oveI
il the banks is very great. Notaries pub
lie have more to do than they can manage
We also learn from various sources, thai
such is the entire prostration of commercial
cIedit-the CONSERVATION among the banks
and the dread of the action and tempe,
Of the government on the public funds, thai
many other large houses, yet in solven,
circumstances, are preparing to wind uT
their business and stop payment. We
have heard of two or three houses, with
deposites in bank of $4,000, that see nc
other course before them but failure ano
suspension.

The st. Augustine Herald of the 3lst,
contains the following extract Of letter
! from Fort Dadc, dated the 26th, from which
It now appears certain that the Indians are
about to surrender and remove west, in
conformity with tlie treaty made with Gen.
Jesup:
"You undoubtedly have had minute
details of all the doings with US since our
visit to Topkalike. 1t seems that the To-
and were happy to take advantage of the
first chance of coming to terms. There is
no doubt that the war is ended so far as the
Chiefs have power to contract. Our camp

to what the Mickasukies would do, replied
that they would of course, come in, as
Micanopy has ordered It, but if they did not,
the force of the nation would compel them
at once.
| have had many conversations with
Jumper, Abraham, Alligator and Mcanopy,
and have not the least doubt Of their sincere
intention TO fulfill the terms subscribed to-
Alligator is a most sensible, shrewd, active
and jocose man, worth all the Indians !
have seen.-Jumper is in decline, from
pulmonary affection; he is a sensible man,
but from the state of his health, aud conse-
quent low spirits, much disposed for peace.
Abram is cunning negro, of good con-
sderation with the Semnoles and who can
do more than any other. Micanopy is not
the fat old fool we thought him, but certain
ly possessing good sense, and actually ex-
ercising regal powers; he was respectable
IN appearance with the Council, his re-
marks evincing Judgment, and his depori-
ment suitable and COMFORTING with his
nominal rank.
The above, is fully confirmed by official
dispatches received from Gen. Jesup.
The trial of Major Gates was progress

II is therefore to sustain principles so i'm

We give the following extract from the
report of the Committee to inquire into the
corruption Of the Executive departments, of
which Mr.. Wise was chairman, without
comment-it needs none. We shall pub
sh next week II further extract from the
same report, in relation to the charge, so
often made against the late administration
of subsdizing the press.
"To enable them to get at all the means
Of detecting abuses, the committee called
upon the chairman, who was the mover of
the resolution in the House, to state under
oath whether he, of his own knowledge,
knew of any act of the heads of the Ex-
ecutiye Departments that was either corrupt
or violation of official duty. Failing in
this, and receiving no answer, except a
declaration of the political creed of the wit.

of Those from whom he had received the in-
formation on which he founded his belle
that the Executive Departments have cor
ruptly violated their duties. His answer

81 do positively refuse to give up tn,
names of those who have informed me IA,
TO the conduct or misconduct of cxecutiv,
officers"
How. then, could the investigation be
prosecuted farther than it has been, if the
mover of the resolution, who affirms he has
information from certain persons, on which
he iounds u belief of the existence of cor
rupt violations of law, and of which the rest
of the committee are entirely ignorant,
positively refuses to give up the names of
his informers, that they may be called up
on TO disclose these alleged acts of corrupt
ion and violation Of duty
Under such circumstances, can there be
just cause for complaint of the committee,
of the Executive, or of the heads of Depart
ments, that they have restricted or withheld
proofs of violation Of duty, when he HIM
self, by his own admission, rs n member Of
the committee, is in possession of the names
of witnesses who can prove the charges, and
yet refuses to name or to call those wit
nessesl Who is responsible for restricting
inquiry, if he is not, who, having the names
of witnesses within his knowledge, refuses
to give up their names, or call upon them
to testify Ii the reason assigned for with
holding the names of the alleged witnesses,
viz: that they are dependant upon the
will of arbitrary power for the stations they
hold" is Justification of this refusal, does
it not amount to useless waste of the time
of the House and the labor of the commit.
tee, to demand an investigation in order 20
prove corrupt violations of public duty by
the executive officers, when it wa, known
that neither to the House nor 10 The COM
mittee could or would be disclosed the
names Of the witnesses who, it was assumed
could prove this corrupt violation of Off
cial duyl
The committee do not impugn the mo-
tives or call in question the course of pro-
ceeding adopted by any member of the
committee, but they are bound to state all
the alleged sources of information which
have been withheld in the investigation"
