CHAPTER SIXTH. -.
Two weeks had gone by since the af-

cugnition at the Manor. Two weeks,
which had been spent by Alice in Il state
of underlined uucasiness, trembling
dread. she knew not of what. Lenp's
visits had been daily, and Robert either
accompanied her there or rode with her
home and as often rs Alice, day after
day. sought the lofty easement, from
whence she could see their retreating IL
cures, the mysterious words of Hdrv ey
Hale. when he first found Lena in her pre-
sence, rose to her mind in the shave of a
stern prophesy, and she would turn away,
sad-hcarted, in spite of her struggles TO
be cheerful.
One afternoon, as she sat by her mo-
theirs side, bending over her work, Mrs.
Freeland was astonished to see her tears
falling fast and thick upon the paper, and
anxiously inquired the cause ot them.

Robert stood in silence for a moment,

wish to remain also at home crossed his
mind. He raised his eyes, and they fell
upon the figures of the two young girls,
as they stood side by side before him.

There are some moments in lifetime
which seems to embrace an eternity. Ro-
bert experienced this. as, clinging to the
rein of Lena's pony, he was borne over
the precipice. All the principle events Of
his past life, every act which he deemed
sinful, all his old love for Alice. and all
his new love for Lena, rose glowingly up

The government seems TO be taking such
steps, as indicate strong desire TO promote the
project of railroad to the Pacific Major Ste

direction Of Lieut.. Beale, Superintendent of In.
dian affairs in California, who is now in st
Louis on that business.
Lieut.. Beale is entirely familiar with the
country, having been with Col Fremont in
his explorations of this wild region.
His course is indicated in correspondence
between Col Benton and Lieut. Beale, from

THE REPORTED RUPTURE IN THE

The news Of the rupture in the Cabinet hcl
appeared in our paper Of yesterday, was tee-
graphed to Chicago IN the 18th. subsequent
dispatch however, threw doubt on the truth of it,
so that question Of veracity lies between the two
dispatches. It is impossible to say how matters
stand without the aid Of further intelligence,
though we are inclined to dscredit the whole
report. Should Marcy feel it his duty to with
draw from the important post to which he has
been selected, it will create commotion in the
Empire State of no trifng character. So far
as ability is concersed, but little objection could
be urged to Mr.. Cushing. The only qualiica.
tons requisite to make him the uncAceptionable
