r1y The sorrowful wall of an Indian mother
fell heavily upon our ear as we watched the gath
ering frown upon the countenance of angry ma
ture on last Sabbath eve. 1t was loud, full,
rather masculine moan, and as the wind swept
rudely by, that sound waited DER hill and
dale and died, if sounds ever die, in the far dis
tant forest. That mourner needed not the winds;
the heavy rain storm angrily hurled upon her
worn frame occupied not her mind. She was be-
side the grave of Il child, the fresh turned earth
denoted its abode, and here was the source of her
grief and the source of her strength. Her clot-
ted, matted hair, her unwashed visage and SOM
bre costume, indicated the periodical mourning Of
n bereaved mother. She stood beside that frail
fence encircing the Indian burying ground,
gazed vacantly upon the made grave, whilst
the fierce blast bore on its torurOus course the au-
dible upravings of her trouble spirit
Three young men and boy, friends of the de-
ceased, came to eat rice with him. Strange rs it
may seem, the belief pcrvades, that the spirit Of
the departed can enter into the gormanda pleas
ure of dish of boiled rice, and here we the
friends in life and friends in death come to par
take in n most unpropitious moment, the evening
meal with their mourned departed.
\ father too, had come, and lit the pipe his
child had so often smoked. In the strength OF
his paternal grief, he too, needed not the raging
elements Of nature. Carefully was that pipe filled
of the most fragrant bark of the red willow and
the choicest tobacco within the circle of an Indian
fathers influence, and greatly did he thank the
great spirit that he conduccd to the happiness OF
his Departed as tn, delicate Whit Of smoke issu-
ing from his mouth, was whirlcd away ON the boz
som of the storm.
| Heartfelt offerings of devotion. may thy inhu-
| cnce of this departed spirit. May the means OF
thy mother be to thee more than mcrcenary tears
May the simple dish of boiled rice be all that the
| feast and the banquet court, and the smoke oil

A CLERGYMAN ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED
TO ELEVEN LADIES.

We heard yesterday of series of villanies per-
petrated recently by wolf in sheep cloathng, of
a character to bring the reverend imposter, If
caught, to the penitentiary. His name is John
Howard Wilson, and he has been preaching for
some time past at Cheviot. Being endowed with
a soft oily tongue, and a sleek appearance, he
tried his killing accomplishments Unfortunately
among the unmarried bellies Of that suburban. VII
lage with such success that he engaged himself TO
be married to no less than eleven, some OF whom
he borrowed money from upon pretense OF max
ing the necessary arrangements toward mousse
keeping Of one Young lady he obtained $50,
which he laid between the leaves OF Bible IN
her parlor, to be used the day previous to the
wedding: but when upon hearing OF the pranks OF
the sanctimonious Iothario, she looked in the hi
ding place, the bank-blls were non est.
The manner which led to the discovery of his
multifarious engagements, was, that couple OF
the betrothed met,by accident, in n fashionable
dry goods establishment in this city. After mu-
tual recognition, they proceeded to examine vari-
Gus fabrics, and make purchases. Singularly
enough their tastes assmiated so exactly that

Young lady No. replied that SO it was; but, If
she (ycung lady No. Ocould keep secret, she
would tell her one.

'.To whom?' exclaimed the excited number

breathed.
':Who:" exclaimed number one, while her
earnest gaze betokcned her astonishment.
The name was again repeated, and forthwith
young lady number one became suddenly dizzy,
and, but for the application of sal roiatilc and
cold water, fainting exhibition in the mercer es-
adjustment would have cnsued. After while.
when sufficiently calm to explain, she informed
young lady number two that she, too, was under
an engagement of marriage to the reverend de-
cciver, and she was then making purchases of her
wedding garments. Another kettle of fish was
the consequence Of this disclosure, for young lady
No. Immediately went through the same motion;
rs her predecessor, and again the pungent mix
ture and cold water rcquisition. The disconso.
late damsels returned, without their purchases
to the quiet village, where they speedily proclaim

CAPTAIN GIBSON.

A few days since we published letter which
purported to be written by Captain Gibson to
"the Governor of Netherlands India" This
letter came from the State Department. II
was communicated by the Secretary of State
to the President and by the President to Con-
gress. 1t gave to Captain Gibson's case, which
all Of our readers no doubt understand, and to
Captain Gibson's conduct, new and an ugly
aspect. In publishing that letter, we com
mented upon it, as we felt it our duty to do.
But, however much appearances may be
against any one who is charged with mscon.
duct, if we have aided in giving publicity to
such charge, we always cheerfully surrender
the use of our columns for the purposes of de.
tense and explanation. In this spirit we give
place to letter addressed by Captain Gibson
to the Chairman Of the Committee Of the House
of Representatives on Foreign Affairs, in which
Captain Gibson defends himself at length, and
explains many circumstances connected with
the charge against him.

THE EXPECTATION AND ANXIETY
TO HEAR MIR. WIsE,s ALEXANDRIA


Hon. Henry A. Wise the candidate of the
Democratic party for the Office Of Governor of
Virginia, will address the people of Alexan-
dria on Saturday next The dignity of the
Office for which he is a candidate, the influence
and high position in the confederacy Of the
State in which the election will take place, and
Mr.. Wise's high reputation for ability, elo-
quence, and public service, have. all conspired
to create general and strong anxiety to
hear his speech. This anxiety is felt by men
of all parties and all conditions in this city.
He will no doubt be complimented by the at
tendance of some Of the highest functionaries
of every Department of the Government.
There will be a great rush to hear him.
The Virginia papers can scarcely keep up
with his rapid and brilliant movements. Hard
Iva day passes without Witnessing one ofthose
fervid, impassioned, and powerful speeches, for
which Mr.. Wise is SO distinguishes. We hear
of him at one point to-day and at another to-
morrow. Should his strength. keep pace with
his zeal, as there is but little reason to doubt
before the election takes place, he will have
canvassed the broad limits of the Old Do.
minion more thoroughly than they have ever
been canvassed before. he will have address
ed the men, women, and children, of almost
every neighborhood, and will leave behind him
bright and enduring souvenirs. His bold
thoughts, his striking expressions, his impetu-
Gus eloquence, will be remembered and repeat
ed by the people. Like many of the figures
and expressions of Patrick Henry, they will
descend as traditions to the children Of the peo-
pie.
There is strong and well concerted effort
on the part of the opposition Presses in the
Old Dominion to injure his prospects and
break his force by representing him as falling
below himself in his popular harrangues. No
matter how powerful his speeches, and how
electrical their effect, they are represented by
his adversaries as tame and feeble.
This is shallow device. Iris simply ride.
ulous to undertake to convince the people of
Virginia that the Accomac orator has lost his
power. Wherever he has spoken, the vast
numbers who have heard him are living wit.
nesses against these idle tales. Before the
canvass closes, most Of the voters Of Virginia
will enjoy the opportunity of hearing him, and
they, in turn, will become witnesses against the
same silly stories.
Mr.. Wise may prepare himself for a large
and brilliant audience in Alexandria; nor do
we doubt that he will be equal to the occasion.

g Sociology for the South, or the Failure Of
Free Society,"" recent publication, from the
pen of George Fitzhugh, esq, Of Port Royal,
Virginia, has attracted an unusual share Of at.
tention from the press. II has been the subject
of long, elaborate, and fattering notices in
many of the leading journals Of the country.
All these notices that We have seen, and few have
escaped us, concede to the author great in.
formation, striking originality, much ability,
and unusual attractiveness Of style. We were
among the first to notice this book, and are
happy to know that the estimate we placed on
it was not the result Of any feeling Of partially
for the author, but Of its own intrinsic merit
Few American books have attracted as general
an attention in so short time.

THE "AMERICAN CELTv ON JOHN
O,CONNELL.

There are, perhaps, no people among whom
party feuds are so rancorous as the Irish. Full
Of wit as they are, there are no people who can
pour into language so much bile and bitter
ness.
If we may judge by the following, from the
American Ceh, the patriots. Of Ireland, who
have removed from ireland, look not with the
same favor upon the son Of the great Liberator
that they did upon him. Young John seems
to be quitting his fathers course and setting up
for himself The old man sold himself to the
people, the young man has sold himself to Eng
land. Which made the best bargain we will
not undertake to say. While old Daniel got
more of fame, young John viii no doubt be
more certain of his pay. Yet the old man was
good collector, and what he collected was
wrung from the generous, but poor and suf
fering, patriots ofIreland. Young John shows
his patriotism in a less disagreeable form. He
takes his pay from the oppressor of his country.
While there is much Of practical, worldly sense,
there may be something Of revenge in this.
But to the Cell. 1t says:
"Lttle did the good and great liberator think,
when bequeathing his heart to Rome, and his
body to his country, in the old city Of Genoa,
that, within the short space Of seven years, his
son John would be crimpsergeant for the
British government in Ireland, and strut about
in red coat, the liveried representative Of the
Castle clique. But nevertheless, such a sight
has come to pass, and that the same John is
neither more nor less than a salaried officer Of
her most gracious majesty's military garrison !
Good God to what base end has he come at
last2
off the souls Of the virtuous departed feel
any sorrow or remorse when their descendants
on the earth dishonor them, sorry and weeping
is the soul Of the old man, his father, to-day,
and heavy the signs he heaves, by reason Of
that son Johns debasement But, be consoled,
dread shade he. may never blacken you, or
throw discredit on your memory.
