Penn. correspondent Of the st. Louis Repub-
lican, May I'd relates the following occur
renee:
A young man recently made his escape
from the galley at Toulouse. He was strong
and vigorous, and soon made his way across
the country and escaped pursuit. he arri-
We the next morning before cottage in an
open field, and stopped to beg something to
eat and concsalment while he reposed lit

weeping and tearing her hair. and the father
walking the floor in agony. The galley sla-

turned out Of doors because they could not
pay their rent. You see mo driven to de-
spsir,' said the father, my wife and little
children without food or shelter, andI with
out the means to provide any for them. The
convict listened To this tale with tears OF
sympathy, and then said:

just escaped from the galleys; whoever So
cures and takes back an escaped prisoner is
entitled TO reward of fifty francs-How
much does your rent amount TOT
Forty francs,' answered the father.
WELL said the other, put cord around
my body, will follow you to the city, they
will recognise me, and you will get fifty
francs for bringing me back
No, never! exclaimed the astonishod lis-
tener, my children should starve dozen
times before would do 80 base thing
The generous young man insisted, and de-
clared at last that ,he would go and give
himself up, if the father would not consent
to take him. After long struggle the lat
ter yielded, and taking his preserver by the
arm led him to the city and to the mayors
office. Everybody was surprised that
little man like the father had been able TO
capture such a strong young fellow, but the
proof was before them; the fifty francs woro
paid aud the prisoner sent back to the gall
leys. But after he was gone, the father asked
private interview Of the mayor, to whom ho
told the whole story. The mayor was SO
much effected that he not only added fifty
francs moro 10 the fathers purse, but wrote

which had condemned the young man to the
galleys, and that no had already served out
half his time. he ordered his release. Is not

Tsiegrsphic Summary A..

Our telegraphic dispatches, to-day, are unusu-
ally interesting and important, as will be seen on
perusng them. Our readers will be delighted TO
hear that Ms. Cahoun's health Is Improving, and
that there is every probability that the great
S0craen statesman will no, osly survive his pre-
sent attack, bat that he promises to live for some
years Yet, according 10 present appearances We
are rejoiced to learn this, and congratulate the
country The probable conyalesenee of that great
Statesmen and patriot.
Matters evidently look squally ia Washington,
according to our special telegraphic despatch. IL
Is said that the Southern ulras are determined
not Ia give to any compromise, but to insist for
the Southern clam in full. This course, we
think, will not be sustained by the South gene
rally; and il persisted IN. it will have the effect OF
mol only postponing the settlement OF the slavery
question, but of shipwreck ing those who advocate
it, as far as their political standing is concerned.
There is no question that the South would agree
TO compromise of this agtsting subject, on tar
basis.
Reports are rife at Washington that Mr. Bulwer,
the British Minister, has used up Mr. Clayton,
and the whole correspondence has been submitted
to the Senate IN Executive session. We would
not be at all surprised If Mr.. Clayton has been
putting his foot this business, he has in every
thing else he has undertaken since ne became
prime minister of the present cabinet

Representatives we refer our readers to the first
