From the MARYLAND Advocate.

Negro Harry was tried on Monday last
by the Romney Court for rape, and an at
tempt to murder a white girl, aged about
IS years-he was found guilty and SEN
fenced "to be hung" on the 18th day oil
january next.
The little girl, whom he had so badly IN
jured, and left lying on stone pile in the
woods, where her friends found her next
day, with her skull fractured in three
places, had so far recovered on Monday, as
to be able to attend the Court House and
give evidence against tho black demon IN
human shape.
The evidence adduced upon the trial
was in substance, that the girl, Margaret
Nelson, left her mothers dwelling to visit
a neighbor, and on her return was accom-
panied by Mr.. Robson, and short dis
lance from the place where she was found,
Robson separated from her, and took a
road more direct to his own dwelling

would suspicion have rested9 We answer,

far from the place where she was found.
And alone upon information furnished by
the young lady, was the negro arrested

The records OF our criminal Courts
have many melancholy instances Of the
innocent being condemned upon circum-
stanci1l evidence, as weak as this would
have been--and though conviction may
not have been the result, yet suspicion
and malice would have placed him in an
unenvable situation. This case Illus
trates in some measure the necessity OF
observing caution and strict adherence
to that merciful rule which requires that
ninety and nine guilty ones should esca@
rather than one innocent man should SUI
fer.

BY MRS. P. w. BALL.

" Beautifully flashing in the quiet autumn

4lppling over the stony bed that lies at the
bott)m of the mountain river, as light
carriage drove down the steep bank and
masculine voice sounded over the water.
fefry-boat no! The call was responded
to BY loud halo of the boatman, and the
long unwieldy raft was set in motion by
two athletic muattoes sinewy arms and
heavy chests were barred to the breeze as
nth long poles shod with iron, they push
ID the boat ovor the stream. Meanwhile
ihe occupants Of the carriage had alighted
md were now seated under the shade of a
Dreaded sycamore, awaiting the boat.

Yourself would desplse me, were | TO per-
biz you to yield to the fears your fancy
has conjured up" and so saying he sprung
NJ, exclaiming "boat no."
The boat was now rapidly nearing the
bore, and soon with loud splash it struck
he landing, and one Of the men led the
horse and carriage on the boat, while the
Eoung man, raising the weeping girl in
bis arms, set her on it, and in moment
they pushed off for the Maryland shore.
Helen continued to weep, unmindful of the
wooded shores, of the verdant islets inhab-
ited by the bald eagle, of the liquid bril-.
lance Of the flashing waves. Home
her desolate home was only present 10 her
imagination, and to return to it her sole
wish.
"Oh! my father" she sobbed at inter-
Ryals apparently unheeded by the compan-
ion of her flight, who with folded arms
And contracted brow, stood beside her as
bis glance wandered over the beautiful
country that lay spread around them.
Helen was the daughter of "a rich far
mer who lost his wife while she was We
Fy little girl, and who oentreing all his af-
tections on the blooming Ellen, expanding
into the winning loneliness Of girlhood,
determined never to marry, but to rear

THE sUB-TREAsURY.

This scheme in new shape and under new
title was introduced into the House Of Representa-
,ives on Friday week. The Globe of Saturday night
gives what it calls an "abstraet of the bill more cec
tually to prevent frauds in The collection keeping
transfer and disbursement Of The public reren"e, and
to punish public defauters" From this We discover
that it is the Sub Treasury scheme revived in
Objectionable and dangerous shape than any in which
il has ever before been brought forward.
From this abstract the scheme appears to be filled
with impracticabilities processes to embrace the
special deposte, and retains the specie clause in an
other form. The kinds of money in which the pub
lie revenues are 10 be collected TO be e altoge
Their at the discretion of the Executive.
We shall take an extended notice Of the subject as
soon as we have room.
We would, however, now warn allthose who are
opposed to this scheme for acquiring dcpotc porer,
that the most desperate efforts will be made to carry
it through this session of Congress- and it behoves
every one to be constantly at his post for there is
great danger TO be apprehended that "the party "
who are now completely drilled and disciplined, may
seize on the occasion of the absence Of some Of the
opponents of the scheme 10 force 1t through the
House 1t will be sure to pass the Senate. -
