AS soon as the dead body Of the pirate
had been laid away for the night, Hodges
repaired to the Office of Winters, from
whom he learned, for the first time, all
that his friend had suffered, and probably
lost, by his absence. He was deeply moved
by the recital, and vented apathemas, t'pot
loud, but deep" upon the authors of the
mischief Winters partially consoled him,
however, by informing him how cincorely
Miss Danvers loved him, and dwelling up
on the evidences of devotion which his abb
sence had called forth. And whilst they
were still conyersing upon the subject, a
note, from that lady, was handed to Win
ters. Rumors of the transactions, of the
evening, and Of Hodges return, had
reached her, and she was ell impatience to
see Winters that she might learn, at once,
whstAeF they were true. ,f ..f. -.
This was the pappert Of tho note, and
upon consultation, both the gentiemen
concluded to obey the summons, with the
understanding that Hodges would keep
out Of view, unless bis appearace should
be authorized by circumstances. The dis
tanee was short, and they soon reached the
point Of destination, F1 1'f

From the South, April lst.)

"Perhaps Eli Thayer speaks the truth. 1t
may be that he is willing to stand the hazard
for the chance of good dividend" and in
tends, sure enough, to head an Anti slavery
invasion of Virginia. On this supposition
we are invited to consider the enterprise in
its serious aspect.
What then are we to do? Mr. Eli Thayer
appears to be of opinion that his colony will
enjoy the protection of the laws,-and so it
will, in pursuit of a lawful purpose. But this
enterprise is a pratical expedition against
the peace. security and welfare of the comon-
wealth. Its avowed object is to subvert the
institutions Of the state. to destroy the prop
cr;y of its citizens, and detach it from the
cause and interest of the South. These are
the great aims of the enterprise, and Mr.. Eli
Thayer might as well proclaim them in so
many words. True, he wants to make the
operation pay; and could Yankee be desti.
tu.e OF snch an aspiration? We repeat, the
object of this Homestead Emigration Society
is identical with that of the original Kansas
Emigrant Aid Society. Indeed, the one is an
imitation Of the Other, and Mr.. Eli Thayer,
who was su6altern in the first expedition,
is selected to lead the last. 1t is a crusade
against slavery-a propagation Of Black Re,
pubiicanlsm. The mere experimental allowed
on cur part, will imply sad 1egcncracy of

Southern spirit, and will stimulate and en-
bolden the Abolitionists in the same proper
ton. 1t will stir up sedition in the state,
will inname strife among its citizens and will
compromise its dignity and its safety. If
successful. the enterprise will consummate
the triumph of Abolitionists in Virginia.
And not only that; but it will oper the way
for the march of Black Republican!sm to-
wards the South. and will reduce US to the
necessity of fighting the battle in our own
borders. From triumphant and aggressive
power, slavery will be thown upon the de-
tensive, and like Napoleon. after he lost the
charm Of invincbiIity. we will be driven from
position after position in our own territory,
until at last we are compelled to an inslori
Gus captuIation. We should take stand al
once"

sermon after his trial was reported at length
in the 7rarelY-r, and althou oh no formal an

at an early hour the Temple was crowded,
and hundreds had to leave, being unable to
get admission. After the usual services Mr..

of this calamity. The long continued warm
