WEATHER, RIVER &c.-.-We have had
several fine rains since our last issue, which
has given supply of stock water, and put
an end to the warm weather. The river
rose several feet, but is receding again.
Boats, however, are making fair time; and
what they fall short in bulk of freight, make
up in additional prices, and we think are
doing well, as there seems TO be great deal

The Battle in the Dark.

There is nothing new from the Danube, SO
far as the relative position of. the two armies
is concerned. Operations Of magnitude. are
retarded by the bad weather; but constant
succession of minor encounters are reported.
In almost all these conflicts the Turks are
aggressors, and generally come off victors.
From all indications, however, the Russians.
slowly as they move are preparing for grand
stroke.
On the 18th of February conflict took
place by mistake between two columns ofthe
Russian army. The Turkish positions are
extended in an easterly direction as far as
the village of Cuiperceni, Which is aboutia
mile distant from Kalafat. For several days
Turkish corps, 1000 strong, under ihe
command of Col. Mirolai, had been posted
in front of this village, and in the direction Of
the Russian outposts. On this corps the
Russians determined TO make an onslaught
during the night Of the 18th. For this par.
pose two Russian columns were brought up.
each from 1000 to 5000 strong, one. by the
road, which leads to Kalafat, from about The
village Of Scribezi, and the other from the
left side ofit, from about Poisna, prince Mil
osch's property, to advance unexpectedly up.
on the Turks, to surprise, enclose them, and
cut themto pieces. 35 ia 7a5
The Russian columns commenced their
march at three o'clock in the morning, and
by four o'clock reached a position from
whence they were only half an hours march
from the Turkish pickets. The second col.
umn seems either to have missed the direc.
ton by mistaking the road, or to have come
up long after its time! BE this as it may,
the latter. column, the obscurity of foggy
night, concluded the former one to be a body
of hostile Turks, and instantly opened upon
them a terrific cannonade. which the Others,
who laboredunder the mistake, returned with
yet more deadly effect. Pressing towards
each other, 1t came ere longito a close fire

ed for an hour and a half. until, when day
dawned, the combatants saw with horror. the
error theyhad committed. The loss in kill
ed ard wounded. in the course Of thisnigghts
encounter, is reckoned by the Russians them
selves at several hundreds. The Turks were
naturally alarmed every point; and at Wild.
den, which is but rleague and al half distant,
sOmer Pasha, on hearing the camIonade, took
saiftherequisitive measures for defence. The
Turkish corps stationed at Cuiperceaii stood

that the Russian columns withdrew to their
respective positions, carrying their wounded
along with them. ,f

Edward plead long and earnestly with her
TO revoke the sad decree she had uttered
but he plead in vain-she was immovable,
Conflicting emotions of anger and disappont.
ment chased each other through his stricken
heart; but after many days and through the
councilngs Of his guardian angel, his better
feelings gained the triumph, and he resolved
10 address his father, let him know the inten.
sty OF his feelings, the decision Of his be.
trolhed, and plead with him for his consent
to their nuptials.
This determination he communicated to
Laura, and asked her il he still refused would
she consent to be his without his fathers bles.
sing.
"'Never; no. never" was the response,
"I cannot, will not be the cause of estrange.
ment between thee and thy fathers If he
remains incorrigible, will cherish my love
for thee; think of thee, pray for thee--but
| cannot be thy wife, Duty to you, and
my own self respect, demand that should
not swerve from this righteous resolve"
Finding her inexorable, William hetook
himself to the task of writing to his father.
He faithfully aud eloqucntly depicted the
intensity of his feeIings-his undying attach.
ment and devotions to the object of his af-
feclions-the cause Of his leaving home so
abmp,ly-,he proposal to his intended to
wed her despite his opposilicn-her stern
and positive refusal to accept him without
his fathers blessiug-her pious admonitions
to honor and obey his parents--of the con.
flicting emotions that harassed him on her
relusal-and finally, that his happiness and
well-beins depended on his consent, and
earnestly plead with him to bless him with
his smiles and appreciation.
The letter of William prodnced the desir-
ed efec, upon the mind Of his father. The
sound sense and pious ndmoniiions Of the
gentle Lama, at once and completely won
the heart of the old gentleman. ln her he
recognized one that would guide the steps
of his wayward son aright--he releuted.-
He wrote to William freely giving his con-
sent and sending his blessing With joyful
heart he FASTENED to communicate the glad
intelligence to Laura. She rejoiced with
him; aud in due course of time he claimed
her for his bride. They soon after visited the
house of Williams father, and were received
with open arms.
"Bless you," said the elder Mr.. Vernon,
as he embraced his daughter.in.law. the
prudent, christian counsellngs you impaired
to my son, convinced me not only of your
.worthiuess4of him. but tha. under your tni.1
ton he would never 60 astray. She who
so reverences the injunction to :" honor their
father and mother" can but,make devoted
wife and jewel Of a daughter. God bless
thee. my daughter"
Laura fulfilled the bri"htcst hopes Of all
with whom she was connected.
