cy until he reached his ssix-and-twentieth year.
Then, having bccomc tired Of a life ofdisslpa-
ton, such as bachelors are liable to indulge in,
he resolved to marry.
Making choice of beautiful and worthy
girl. whom he davotedy loved, he offered her
his haud, and was accepted. The marriage
ceremony took place, and til. honeymoon
passed as delightfully."- as the fondcst lovers
could desire.
Thus. nv readers will observe, my story
commences where stories usually end; that Is
to saw, with marrage. Bat the days OF ro-
nance, and lovers trials, had not altogether
passed, as is usually the case, an ordeal OF
affection and fidelity awaited the fond brde
and her devoted husband.
Two months after the marriage, on account
ocCatharino's feeble health, it was decided by
her friends, that she should pass few weeks
in the country. 1t was hard blow Tor Fred,
she had become dcaror to him than ever, and
he could not bear the idea of parting with her
for day. Yet reason prevailed, and his
Young wife left the city.
The village of A---wos chosen as the
place of Catharine's abode, it being some-
what fashionable place of resort, and the resi-
dencc of some of her friends. Fred accom-
panied her thithcr, and left her with heavy,
lonely heart to return to his urgent business
in the city.
The four weeks the newly married par
were destined TO spend apart, were weeks o1
anxiety and loneliness to Fred. He felt assured
of his wi(e's affections, but he knew she hac
woman's nature, and that she would com
mand the admiration ofail. He did not mear
TO be Jealous, but he could not help it. Eie
thought Catharne would forget him that she
would learn to favor others. II might be un
generous in him to doubt her thus, and foolish
too. but such reflections would arise in spite o
his better reason.
All the end of four weeks, leaving his busi
ness TO take care Of ITSELF Fred fastened Il
met his wife in A., and to conduct he
home. He travelled necessarily, and soon ar
rived within sight of the village. Burning t.
embrace his wife after so long separation, HI
flew to the house of friend where she wa
tarryiug.
He rang at the door and inquired of th
servant if Mrs. Stanley was in. With an in
describable sinking of the heart, he learne
that she was absent on an excursion. He fel
ycxcd, greved, almost angry. Catharin
must have expected him and she was gone.
To divert his mind from the gloomy reflec
tons the event gave rise to, Fred hastened
the nearest hotel. In the sitting room he me

with heart bursting with 9rlei, jealousy
and anger, the young husband staggered from
the hotel, and once more hastcncd to see his
wife.
He was told that she had returned and that
she would see him shortly in the parcr.
Fred sat down to wait for her, and bowling
his throbbing head upon his hand. Had his
love been less strong, his reason would have
been more firm, and he would have been less
Jealous, but as it was, his heat was almost
bursting.
AS soon as she was aware of his arrival
Catharinc flew TO meet her husband. For a
moment, as he held her to his heart, ne forgot
that she might be unathiul to him, and that
his arrival might be welcome. Soon, how
ever, his doubts returned, and unclasping the
fair arms that encirrled his neck, and remov-

his own, he said

Wilt thou still forsake and leave me,
Leave me lonely, deep in grief,
Say not SOIL ne'er believe thee
Thy kind words will give relief
Should dare to ask thy meaning,
As have in other days;
When upon thy breast was leaning,
TIer who sang the sweetest lays
Would'st thou scorn me II impulses
Babe me ask why it was done!
Would'st the life that in the pulses,
Swell and have me question none
When in secret thou hast told me,
NV pure love did greatly cheer
When in sorrow thou hast kss'd me,
Kiss'd away the flowing tear!
Hast thou then all these forgotten.
Shall hear thy voice no moro
Wilt thou leave me-ione-forsaken,
Here upon Coluinba's shore!
shall die--no form 10 love mt,
None 10 smuolhe my fever'd brow
Dea;h-like speclres will surround me,
Whispering plain thy time is now
When in all thy worldly pleasures,
Could guide thee with my clasp.
would lead thee wherS more treasures
Waited patient for tly grasp!
Farewell then! my heart still loves thee,

SINGLE PACKAGES. = There is quite a
number Of our subscribers who get their
papers in "Single Packages" as the term
goes. This means that where but one pa
per is taken at a post office, it must be put
up with an envelope all solitary and alone.
II is thus as much trouble to mail one paper
as ten, and as much expense so far as wrap
ping paper, paste, &c. are concerned. Now
we would like for those subscribers who
get these Single packages" to recollect
that ut is not well for man ODE alone" and
to turn out and procure another subscriber
to go With theirs; or as "tbere's luck in
odd numbers" to get two. This would
be alike agreeable and profitable to both

LETTER OF THE Hon. D. WALLACE tn SpN.
TOR HOusTON.-We publish this letter because
1t is a refutation Of the charge that the Mis-.
slssipDi convention owes its origin to the dicto-
ton OF Mr.. Calhoun.
The accidental circumstance that Mr.. Wal
lace was here during the session of the conven.
ton, was seized on to give strength to the idea
that Mr.. Calhoun had originated the move
ment, and that he had a confidential agent
here in the person of Mr.. Wallace. Some
months since Mr.. Wallace came out in a letter
denying it, and stating, among other things.
that business Of a private nature alone brought
him here, and hearing Of the convention NJ
jackson, he saw ft to attend as n spectator
Notwithstanding this emphatic denial bv
Mr.. Wallace, General Houston, by insinuation
AMI lnnuendc, attempted to revive the old
ohargein a late speech in the Senate. Mr..
wallace felt as every honest man would feel
under the circumstances, and has made his dis.
olaimer SO emphatic and pointed that we ven.
ture to predict this stale charge will never be
revived again.
whether the grave accusations and i%nsinua-
tons he makes as to the moral nature If The
Hero Of San Jacinto be true, we cannot saw;
but it is hardly probable that Mr.. Wallace
would make such serious charges without b..
ing backed by the proof.
II is fortunate for the South that the most
prominent defectionists from her principles, in
nigh places, are not possessed Of that comb
nation Of mOraland intellectual qualities so ne.
'eqsary to confer weight Of character upon les
possessor.

Some thirty years ago it was deemed a great
concession by the South when she consented
to the Missouri compromise of Sc deg. 30 min.
Now those who insist upon having that which
was then regarded as a concession, are de-
nOunced by free soilers in one section, and
mOieradOsi in the other, as Southern ultrGs.
Thirty years hence, if free soilism advances
as il has heretofore done, those who believe
that the South has any rights at all, except
such as are granted us by the Mfferance of the
North, will be stigmatised as Southern @tras.

Norrh Cnrollnn ELECTION.


A whig friend has suggested to us that we
were mistaken in attributing the result Of the
elections in the old North State, solely to the
position the parties had respectively taken on
the Southern issues.
He says there were other local questions,
such as the extension Of popular suffrage, and
some others, perhaps, that contributed to Man
ly's defeat. This may have been so; but one
thing we are sure Of, that Manly's position in
reference to the Nashville convention and the
compromise, had much to do with his defeat,
and in support of this assertion, we will give
good wing authority.
The editor of the Hornets Nest, a wing pa
per published at Charlotte, Mecklenhurg coun-
ty, N, c., in an article of the 10th Of August,
in speaking of Manly's defeat, snys it was
mainly owing to his position on the Southern
question, as taken by himself and his promi-
nent organs at the capital. In speaking Of
the Raleigh Register and the Raleigh Times,
he says "they did more to injnre Gov. Manly's
success than any two influences Of the same
calibre in the State"
BY placing him before the people as OPP
posed to the Nashville convention, they in
jured Gov. Manly's prospects.
BY making it to he believed that Gov.
Manly was in favor Of the half-hatched
compromise thing worse than Richard
the Third:
"--s Sent before itstime
Into this breathing world scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and nnfnshionable,"
That no one could call it complete.
We say that for publishing that Mr.. Manly
was in favor OF the committees unaeged
compromise, they seriously injured Mr..
Manly's prospects before and on the day of
election.
BY going so far beyond the bounds Of
honesty and truth, as 70 call the National
convention "a second Hartford convention
they cruelty did Mr.. Manly an injury.
BY d%enouncing all who chose to differ
with them, and especially for their abuse of
the Rutherford people, they did him an in
jury, a killing injury.
BY all the above combined, with other
things we will hereafter refer to, they have
defeated Governor Manly, or contributed
as much TO it as such conduct was calcu-
lated TO do.
Governor Manly may thank them for
such interest as they have manifested in
his behalf, but he certainly will deplore
the manner of its manifestation.
The conductor of that journal, although n
whig, voted for Reid, and it seems he was not
alone.
In speaking Of his voting for the democratic
candidate, he says:
Many other wings acted from just such
convictions as we did, many in the State,
all parts Of it and many OF them as we
intend, will never act with that party again
unless they should originate something
which will be calculated to benefit the
South (and if existing) the Union, some
thing they seem no: disposed to do at pre-
sent.

Bills, giving territorial governments to Utah
and New Mexico, admitting California into
the Union, and establishing the boundaries Of
Texas, have all passed the Senate.
Much opposition and angry discussion are
anticipated in the House.
The Washington Union of the gath ultimo
thinks it very probable that an effort, and per-
haps a successful one, will be made to attach
the WilmOt proviso to the territorial bills.
Should this be the case, there will, we fear,
not be wanting journals, even in the South.
that will become in some sort the apologists Of
this measure. We do not mean that they will
advocate It, or even defend it as a wholly iusti.
fable measure, butthey will find some palliating
excuse for it, and still believe after all that the
South had better submit to it.
Their rallying cry will be the Union, the
glorious Union, and they will still think it bet
ter for the South to submit. As there is some
fear that the dead prOvisO, asst has been called.
may be resuscitated, we may expect these Jour.
nails to commence preparing the hearts ofthe
people" for 1t.
