THE CRAIG AND McKIBBIN AFFAIR
Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribunel

Correspondence Of the n. Y. Tribune.l
CHAMBERsBURG, Oct. 30, 1857.
Our usually quiet village was aroused on
Tuesday last by the report that the Hon Jos.
G. McKibben, NJ. c. elect from California,
and Robt. Z. McKibben, younger brother,
and law student at this place, had attacked
their brother-in-law, Mr. Isaac Craig, of Pitts
burgh, with revolyers, with the evident de-
termination to take his life at all hazard
The facts of the case are substantially as fol-
lows:
Some years ago, Mr. Isaac Craig, of Pitts
burgh, son of Neville b. Craig, and editor Of
the Pittsburgh Gazette, married daughter
of Chambers McKbben, Esq, the proprietor
of the Exchange Hotel of that place Both
families occupied prominent social positions,
and were wealthy and highly respected
Chambers McKibben, Esq, subsequently re-
moved to Philadelphia, where he still resides
as one of the proprietors of the Merchants
Hotel, and Naval Officer under Mr. Buchan-
an. Two years ago he purchaseda beautiful
farm a little distance from our town, where
he spends portion Of his time, and where
part of his family remain all the time
One Of Mr.. McKibben's daughters, Mary,
is both deaf and dumb. Every effort that
wealth and kind parental care could give was
lavished to atone for the loss of the faculties
denied her by nature. She was educated
thoroughly and her naturally sprightly, cheer
ful, and ailectonate disposition made her the
loved one Of the family. As might be ex-
pectcd, she had little or no intercourse with
any one outside OF her own family circle, and
she had reached perhaps twenty summers as
guileless, as innocent, and as conliding as a
child About three years ago she went to
Pittsburgh to visit her sister, the wife of Mr.
Isaac Craig and remained some weeks her
guest During that visit, it is alleged, and
the allegation is supported by the affidavit of
the victim herself, (she even passed the cross
examination of David Paul Brown that her
own brother-naw, Mr. Isaac Craig, sedueed
her. She returned home to Philadelphia, and
for months seemed to be entirely ignorant
that any wrong had been done her; but in
due time she gave unmistakeable indications
that she would soon become a mother, and
not until then did her family suspect anything
Of the kind, nor did she seem, even when the
truth had forced itself upon her heart-broken
friends. to realize that she had suffered any
wrong Not until she understood that she
had thrown sad shadow over her parents
and brothers, and sisters, did she appreciate

MARSHA. NEY AN AMERIcAN--'fhe follow
ing is an extract from letter received in Co
lumbia, from an intimate friend of Capt Ru-
dolph, who was lost at the Columbia fire
Capt. Rudolph was near relative Of
Marshal Ney, of Waterloo notoriety. You
are aware that Napoleon selected his officers
from the brayest men of the ranks, and as
Ney's earlier history has never been publish
ed, it may not generally be kRown that his
real name was Michael Rudolph Tie was
raised in this county, Cecil county, Md. T.
He chose life on the seas, and was wrecked
in Spanish vessel, on the coast of Spain

A MADRIGAL.

What is that, l fain would know,
Makes me love my sweetheart so?
Certes, she is fair to see
Soa hundred others be-
Yet, forsooth, do not care
Whether they be foul or fair;
So her fairness don't discover
What il is that makes me love her
Cannot prevail to find
What enchains my captive mind?
Certes in her soft brown eyes
Jocund stars do set and rise
Yet in other eyes, know,
Starry lustres come and GO
And no influence rains on me,
From their sweet astrology
Sure | am, cannot tell
What hath woven the charm so we'll;
Why the paleness Of her cheek
Is endowed with voice to speak;
Why silent music plays
Where her dancing footsteps strays;
Unless IL be the dainty sign
by whose light read her miae.

MRS. LOFTY AND I.


Mrs. Lofty keeps carriage,
SO do II
She has dapple grays to draw it,
None have L.;
With my blue eyed laughing baby,
Trundling by
| hide his face, lest she should see
The chcrub boy, and envy me.
Her fine husband has white fingers,
Mine has not;
He could give his bride palace
Mine, a cot;
Hers comes home beneath the starlight
Meier cares she
Mine comes in the purple twilight,
Kisses me,
And prays that He who turns life's sands
viii hold his loved ones in His hands.
Mrs. Lofty has her jewels
So haveI
She wears hers upon her bosom
Inside, Il
She will leave hers at Deaths portal.
By-and-by,
shall bear my treasurewth me
When | die,
For have love and she has gold
She counts her wealth-mine can't be told
She has those who love her--station,
None have /;
But I've one true heart beside me-
Glad am |;
Ia not change ii for Kingdom,
No, not
Nod will weigh it in His balance,
By-and-by,
And the difference define
'Twixt Mrs. Lofty's wealth and mine.
