Fanny, the OEly daughter of an enleebled soldier, gave her arm iO her old father, as they passed together through the vaIley of MoniMorency. They ni down at the foot of an ancient and superb Chateau. which was inhabited by . princess, celebrated for her wit, beauty, and still more for the go0d> ness Of her heart.

 Beverly isking advsntage Of the cOniu. sion of the fight, succeeded in mounting llis horse and making his escape. As he was dasl,ing furiously down the road his hOIee was suddenly brought tO stand siill by q person who rushe9 from the thicke:s and seized the bride.
 sTake tha.p exclaimed Beverly, dis~ charging his pistol at the man.
 'Yah! yah! Massa Beverly, can't shoot straight cried Jack, who had begged per. mission to accompany the rangers, and TWO Of them were left to guard Lowe's house. He knew that Beverly would try 10 make his escape, and had, therefore, been laying iE wait for him.
 Beverly, in his rage. discharged his other pistol with like effect. =.
 No use, Msssa Cap'nt 1; you is mighty poor soger and my prisoner,so jisi ges down of 0b dat ar hoss.'
 Beverly attempted tO draw his sW0rds bat Jack did not feel. disposed to let him try any more experiments, aud pointing q pistol st him, he cried out: Luf dat ar be, and get down. yea wbite dehil. or dis child tries his luck in shoOtin'.'

Jack bound his kands behind him with his sash, and then mount. ed his horse and told Beverly 10 face about and march, towards the camp, and if he made the least attempt to escape be would pat bullet through his head. In this manner Jack conveyed his prison. CT to Captain Lowe, who, when he beheid the novel sight, gave way to hearty laugh in which those around him joined.

 We will not describe the scene that en- sued. suffice it to say, that Beverly, with the other prisoners, was marched of to L0we's quarters.

according to the will of the ofAcer whose duty
it is to attend to that depar ment. In the ship
Western World, upon a. passengers applying
for salt, he was on,y sworn at and abused by
the mate, there being no salt provided for the
emigrants, according to government contract,
nor was salt ever given to them during the
whole voyage. Then, but too often an mex
pArienced surgeon, is intrusted with the
care of these seven or eight hundred lives
and there are no inquests at sea; the poor
emgrant may die of neglect or malpractice,
and no one is called to account. An in
stance happened this very year where the
surgeon of an emigrant ship caused young
woman who was i'll, to be stripped and buckets
of cold water to be thrown over her, from the
effects Of which treatment. in the opinion of her
fellow passengers, she died. And yet no notice
was taken no complaints attended to.
These are plain and unvarnished facts. That

noticed and uncared for, is evident. Here is =

Yet although this might be clearly the duty
ofthe President on unders landing the actual re-
suit of the election in New York, we doubt very
much whether he has the moral courage at this
moment to follow out such a view. He may think
that it is his hest policy to continue these nlen
in Office until he has got through the first two
or three months of Congress-to get them to
give him helping hand in bringing out bis
message-and at the proper time and on lifting
representations made to him by the proper
class of statesmen in both houses, 80 avail HIM

cy q Co had any spark of spirit in their com
position they would relieve the President Of
the disagreeable duty of removing them, and
resignat once their high Offices. Will they do
so? We doubt it-they have not spirit or SEN

would be thrown into q fr.rment in week. Let
him make deliberate otter Of the territory for
fixed sum of money, and it is questionable
whether the Union would survive the tumult
that would follow. All the Northen free sellers
would be clamorous for the purchase of fine
strip of land, peopled by hardy moral race,
even more rabid in their aboltionism than
Seward or Van Buren, All the South. for the
same reason, would threaten to dissolve if such
an accession OF strength were acquired by the
enemies of its. institutions. The troubles which
ushered California into the Union would sink
into comparative insigpifcance beside the storm
that would follow. Peace could only be restored
by admitting, simultaneously with Canada,
new slave States such as Cuba and part OF
Mexico. If from any causes, these southern ac-
QUESTIONS could not be made the South would
never, never consent to buy Canada, and the
North might very possibly prefer dissolving
the Union to relinquishng the proposed prize.
With such a prospect-and oil men OF experi-
ence will vouch for its accuracy-it is not very
likely that we shall take the initiative, for the
present, in any negotiation or other movement
which might lead to the introduction OF this new
element Of discord into the country. The Cana
dams need not distress themselves.

New MODE OF TRANSPORTING THE MAILS
been proposed by gentleman in Boston. II
is to transmit them through tube from which
he air would be exhausted and vacuum crea-
ted-the pressure Of the external atmosphere
thus forcing any body placed in one end OF the
lube rapidly to the other. The principle is not
new. 1t has been applied to q railroad in Ire
land A few years ago railroad was construc-
ted between Kingston and Oakley, II the VI
cinity of Dublin, and was called the atmos-
pheric railroad The rails were laid in a tun-

lance, being only two or three miles 1t con-
tinued in operation for some time, but was
finally abandoned as not being on the
whole so good a method of transportation
az by steam, though far less dangerous. The
principal objection to it is the difficulty Of ex
hausting the air for very long distance, and
on railroad of any extent exhausting houses
would be required at short stages.
Whether this difficulty has been overcome by
the Boston philosopher we know not. We hope
he will be successful, for some more speedy mode

by the necessities Of the age. The slow trans
mission Of the mails between this city and Wash.
ington, for example. is disgrace to the country
It is calculated that the mails could be sent
from Boston to New York in fifteen minutes by
the new apparatus. They could, of course, be
transmitted as rapidly between this city and
Washington. The proposition is to try the
invention between the Capital and the
Empire City, and, if it succeeds then to extend
it to Boston and other cities. Let the expert
ment be tried. IF successful, it will to great
extent supersede the telegraph, and mark a new
era in the progress Of science as applied to the
useful arts in this country.

New MOVEMENTS AND WILLIAM III. SEWARD
Since the recent election the organs OF William
H. Seward-the Tribune and Times, of this
city-are beginning to indicate their future
views and purposes. Both snuff from afar on
the tainted gale" that very serious contro-
versy will soon be brought on in Congress, and
throughout the country, in relation to the anti
slavery sentiment. as applied to California,
Nebraska and New Mexico.
There is no doubt of this anticipation. The
great debate and contest that took place in
Congress on the compromise measures Of 1850,
in which Clay, Calhoun and Webster, played
conspicuous parts, were merely the commence
ment, the first steps, Of a new reorganization
Of parties on principles always contained in
the neutrality-suspicious. of equilibrium be-
tween North and South, which have been some
what obscured by The misinterpretation put by
Gen. Pierce upon his election before it re-
ceived some elucidation by the extent Of the
contest in this State between the Dickinson
democracy and the Van Buren, freesolers
We are, undoubtedly, on the eve of one of the
greatest and most protracted contests on the
place in the United States---a contest in which
parties will be organized afresh, and which,
continuing for half a century or more, will
shake all present organizations and public men
like reeds before the hurricane.
For this contest we see that Mr.. Seward, the
willy anti-slavery statesman Of New York. is
making his preparations, and giving his indi-
cations through his organs, the Tribune and
Times. How many Of his old associates in
the defunct whig party will go with him is very
doubtful Edward Everett Of Massachusetts,
for one, will never fraternize with him in his
purposes and projects; neither will Mr.. Crittcn-
den, of Kentucky, be participation in his
wicked designs. Most Of the old wing leaders
of that stamp will keep aloof from the arch
apostle Of the anti-slavery sentiment. There
will, therefore, be new modification of parties
on new and powerful principles, the same as
those promulgated in Congress in the protracted
debate of 1850, in which legacy was left to
the country by the great departed statesmen Of
the age-Webster, and Clay, and Calhoun. I
