GALLANTRY.-A miss accepted the Offer Of
young man 10 gallant her hume, and afterwards,
fearing that jokes might be cracked at her ex-
pense should the fact become known, dismissed
him when about half way home, enjuining Sc
crecy. "Don'l be afraid" said he, "or my
saying anything about it, for feel as much
ashamed of it as you do"
The above puts us in mind of an old chap in
Andover, who some years since went 10 par-
ty al which were some girls. When the par
ty broke up. it ihundered and lightened very
hard, and our hero, whom we shall call Tom,
offered TO see one of the girls home, and she
gladly accepted the offer, as she had mile or
so TO go, through a thick piece of woods
When they got about half way home, the fash
es increased in brilliancy and the thunder mum
bled the heavier when the girl expressed her
! fears, and asked Tom if he did moi feel fright
encd. "No," says Tom, in rather drawling
manner, when The girl, rather spunkily spoke
up, "know nothing, (ell nothing" This woke
up Tom, who relored-" Well. you don't
want to go any further with Gol spOss, and

and suddenly turned around and left her about
midnight, with full half mile to travel through

The pale "Lenorc," with tresscs to the wind,
Streaming like meteors thwart glowing sky,
With fearful eyes, bcaming with look so kind!
We cannot from her angel beauty fly,
But listen to the half hcart-brokcn sigh,
That fills with sadness the still midnight air,
Responsive TO the poets waling cry,
Sitting alone, communing with despair,
And the l-omened Bird with fixed and stony stare.
III.
Thus, in the dead-watch of night, didst thou
Cry in the wilderness with saddest tone;
Thou, with the immortal wreath upon thy brow,
Sing forth thy sorrowing melody alone,
With voice which Knocked thy spirit inward groan,
And converse hold with the dark bird of night,
Whose croaking turned thy very heart to stone;
Ay! talk of her, who was thy souls delight,
The, "loved and lost Lcnore," that angel vision
bright!

Here, in thy cottage home, at Autumn eve,
Thy spirit sadly seems TO hover near;
And the dark sorrow which thy soul did grievc,
Starts the unbidden, sympathetic tear
And all that mortals hope, or wish, or fear,
Like spectros pale, come thronging on the sight;
Thy beautiful creations quick appear
And minge with the shadows Of the night:
Some come with looks Of love, some, wind-ke, with
alright.

The Louisa C. III. Hotel.

We mentioned last week that we had received
q communication from the Proprietor of the
Hotel at Louisa G. H., too late for publication
in that issue. This gentleman complains that
great injustice was done to him and his house
by our correspondent, who a few weeks ago
furnished an account of his trip from Richmond
during the great snow storm of January 18TH
We are satisfied that the writer did not intend
or desire to wound the feelings or injure the
business of the landlord, and would regret if his
publication has had that effect His piece was
written in playful humor, with some degree
of coloring, and with no expectation that it
would be received as literally true in every par
ticular. With this explanation we deem it I'M
necessary to publish the communication refer

charge against Mr., WEIGH, Of Connecticut.
On Saturday the case of Mr.. Edwards, Of New

tions touching him were laid on the table.

and an Interchange of cards" took place. This
ended the affair on Friday evening.
On Saturday, MIR. fiume proceeded to the
Pension Office to demand retraction of the

THE New TREATY WITH MExoo.-A recent
letter from Washington says: "Many incorrect
statements have been made concerning the trea-
ty lately negotiated between Minister Forsyth
and the government of President Comonfort. 1t
has been again and again asserted that the Uni
ted States is thereby to acquire another slice OF
Mexican CANNON. The treaty, learn on excel
lent authority, contemplates loan to the Next
can government of fifteen millions, (Which, by
the way, neither Congress nor the President has
the power to contract under the constitution
three millions of which is to be applied to the
payment of the claims of American citizens on
Mexico, and claims to be adjusted by joint
commission; the application of the remaining
twelve millions is entirely unrestricted. For the
repayment of this loan, twenty per cent. of the
customs of Mexico is to be appropriated until the
debt is liquidated. The treaty also contemplates
a Joint postal arrangement via the Isthmus OF
Tehuantepec, as we'll as the establishment of a
transit route for passengers. There is no cession
of territory involved"

For tie SpectatOr.

Messrs. Eaitors:-It is time the people of
this county were looking around for suitable per-
sons to represent them in the next Legislature.
We learn that one of our late Delegates, Mr..
McChesney, peremptorily declines a reelection
But we hope the county will not permit her 9TH
er two popular and efficient Delegates, Messrs.
Christian and incident to retire from her service
at this important !juncture in the affairs of the
State. We know it will not be'to the peculiarly
interests of either of these gentlemen to spend
another winter in Richmond, yet We doubt not
their known patriotism and public spirit will in
duce them to honor another draft upon their
time, in favor of this good old county. The i'm
rortance to the interests of the people of being
represented in the Legislature by experienced
and able men can scarcely be over estimated.
The previous service OF these two gentlemen,
combined with their acknowledged talents, will
entitle them to such prominent positions on inn
portant Committees and give them such inilu-
ence in the House as can only be acquired by
long service; and which would not be accorded
to new men," however excellent and worthy.
This county with her four members, three
Delegates and Senator, ought TO exert large
influence on the legislation Of the State; and all
that is necessary to ensure this result is to send
men of the right stamp.
We know none worthier of such honor than
the two we have named. We therefore hope
the people will see to it that Bolivar Christian
and JGhn D. Imboden are reelected to the Leg
islature. AUGUSTA.

THE NIcARAGUAN ADvICEs By TIE TEXAS.
The Nicaraguan advices received at New Or
leans by the steamer Texas, do not confirm the
favorable account of Walkers position forward
ed thence in the Geographic accounts. The de"
tails published in the New Orleans papers are
highly colored, but we are able to correct their
talsfcatons by the fuller accounts received by
the Tennessee at New York. The battles at
Obrazi and St. Georges, near Rivas, are repre-
sented by the New Orleans version to have been
splendid triumphs, in which Walker, as usual.
annihilated the enemy without suffering any loss
himself By the Tennessee's advioeS we know
the contrary to have been the case, and that
Gen. Henningsen failed in the attack on both
places. BY the details of the news brought by
the Texas the reported success of Gen. Lock
ridge in driving the Costa Ricans from Fort Sc
rapiqui is diminished into taking possession of
an unimportant point on the opposite side ofthe
river, called Caddys Point. Later accounts re.
ceived at New York state that two attacks had
been made on Serapiqui, in both of which the
flibusters were repulsed.

MORE TRoUBLE-BLooD SHED IN KANSAS
The Jefferson City (Mo) correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat learns, through passengers
arrived from Kansas, that the difficulty be-
tween Gov. Geary and Mr.. Sherrard, growing
out of the refusal of the former to appoint the
latter Sheriff, as desired BY the Legislature, had
fatal termination. The Governor refused to
commission Sherrard on account of his alleged
habitual intoxication. He avowed the purpose
of killing Geary, and meeting him in the street
spit in his face. The Westport correspondent
OF the Republican says that Sherrard did not
spit in the Governors face but called him Ii.
or, coward and scoundrel. Gov. Geary did not
resent the insult, but his friends got up an in
dignation meeting on Thursday the 10Th. Sher-
if Jones' Sherrard and Others attempted to in
terrupt the meeting, and in an atfray Sherrard
shot Mr.. Sheppard, one of Gov. Geary's friends,
four times and wounded two others. Mr..
Jones, the Governors Secretary, then shot Sher-
rard through the head killing him instantly
Great excitement prevailed at. Lecompton and q
general fight was anticipated that night. Gov.
Geary's residence was guarded by United States
