leu iloul uolnS heretofore Tor the rea-
son, that the cost Of transportation to
the Navy Yard on the sea-board. and
the possibility of its rejection after it
had undergone inspection there,
would not justify the experiment.
We look upon this measure as likely

An affecting Picture of Love and Ruin.
The following isa touching account
of Il hearIiess william and his poor vic.
tim, from the Mobile Herald. which
came before the police of that city:
Charlotte Jewell, a young but ema-
GATED and Withholding girl, in whose
thin and wan countenance there
could vet be detected some traces Of
beauty, was charged Yesterday morn
ing by n William Condo from N.
Orleans with having attempted to
take his life. Condo had only been
IN the city Il few days. and it appears
that he seduced the girl, in the town
OF Bayou Sara, La. and afterwards
eloped with her to n. Orleans, where
he lived with her as his mistress. and
finally got tired of his victim and de-
serted her, and in order to rid him
self of her opportunities, had come
TO Mobile. The prisoner traced him
TO this city, found out his boarding,
house on Hamilton street, and on
Thursday evening, while the family
were at supper, attempted his lie
with Il spanish d~Irk-knite. He parIi-
ed the blow and seized her, when she
wen, off into mysteries, in which con-
dition she was taken to the Guard
House.
The complainant having deposed
as above SAID lie would decline prose.
cutting her if she would 90 back home
to Bayou Sara.
Prisoner. 81 have no home OF
people to go TO William; through
your means my people are ashamed
of me, and have disowned me ant
turned me on, of doors, and | woulC
rather die of hunger or perish in som,
jail than to return to them. Home
The street and kennel have been m,
home, and my companions the vIIes
of the vile, INT you so lnhulnlnI,
deserted me-"
Condo. "Why you are crazy"
Prisoner. "No, William, | am no
crazy--,hough the God above know
that | have suffered and borne enougI
to make me so. If desolation an,
misery be craziness ! am crazy; if u;
ter ruin, helpIessness and starvation
be madness, | am mad; out not other
wise. Oh! would to heaven that
was mad. that in madness | might for
get every! Oh, William, William, t
think that you Of all the world SHOULD
have so deceived me, to think tina
you who promised so much, & whoa
looked upon almost as an angel
whom | prayed for night and morn
alas! | cannot pray now-shoul'
have acted so perfdiously, is cnougI
TO drive he mad, without your taunt
and scorns."
Condo. "You ought 10 be asham
ed of yourself to talk in this way
Charlotte"
Prisoner. "No, William | have 90
even beyond shame. Ii is high tim
to give over being ashamed Of mysel
when all are ashamed OF me; oh, Wi
liam, my heart almost tries to brea
when ! think Of how happy was bu
two years ago when was a ga,
blithe girl, and you used to come an
sit the long cold nights by my oil
fathers fire side, and tell me hoy
happy we should be when | was YOU
wife. am sadly changed now, an
|. the tears which course down m,
cheeks are scalding my eyeballs wit
their fire. | remembered when
could even have shed tears of Joy
Alas how different were they fror
these"
The plaintiff refusing to swear. tn
case was discharged, but the prison
er detained in order to see if some
thing could not be done for her.
