doctrine, Corwin, Ball g. Co. unblushingly
admit that it was CHEAT-that Congress
has NO SUCH POWER,-and yet they
seek to retain as their followers, men who
joined the Republican party only because it
once held the snti-slavery doctrine which
Edward Ball, Tom Corwin & Co., are now
striving to kick overheard!

CHAPTER XXI.

"AND what do you intend to do, Hell
en?" Asked Mr.. Motley, after listening
to an account of the interview between
her and Burton.
"I intend" she answered, "to write to
the officiating Magistrate for confirmation
of Burton's statement, and also to lay the
case before Judge s., of Staunton.-
He is my fathers friend, and will take
pleasure in giving me the best possible
advice; he is discreet too, and will give
no greater currency to the affair than the
nature of the case may demand. Do you
see any objection to the PLAN"
"None, if you will delay its execution
for a short time. l have doubts of the
truth of Burton's statement and think il
would be better not to take it for granted. u
doubts, Mr.. Motleyl" she eagerly ex-
claimed. "Upon what do you base them?
"In the first place." he replied, "Bur.
ton told you that he arranged the whole
plan, by letter, before we set out upon that
unlucky tour of pleasure. Now you can
not have forgotten that he knew nothing
of the trip until after it was commenced
and that he joined us, by his own invita-,
ton, on the morning of the second day
after which time, am very sure he wrote
no letter to any one, or if he did write the
one of which he spoke, it could not have
preceded us long enough to have fulfilled
its mission; so that this part of his story

it by representing to the Magistrate that

that he might teaxe you with it. And Sc

waste unless could tread its path with
you. But just as began to feel that hope
was becoming certainty, this last blow has
fallen with crushing force, and writhing
under the agony of its inaiction, you hold
me responsible for the bitterness wrung
from me in the paroxysm of pain. There
are trials which the sternest philosophy
can not patiently bear, and to such an one
am 1 now subjected. You say this is our
last interview, and that, henceforth, we
are to be strangers You speak the truth.
OF my own free will, we shall never meet
again. Were you freed from the bonds
which tie you to another, feel that we
are too little suited to each other to au-
thorise renewal of the offer of my hand,
even if / believed you would accept it,
You can not sever those bonds without
lgiving publicity to the transaction, and a
notoriety to yourself which few men would
covet in wife. These remarks, Helen,
are offered in my own defense, and with
out the remotest intention to reflect upon
you. would not willingly give you pain,
and trust to your own good sense to do
justice to my motives"
"You need not be afraid, sir, of giving
me pain; the nerves can bear only given
amount of sufering-all beyond, is un-
felt l agree with you, that we are un-
suited to each other, even if I were free
and am satisfied, too, that you do not
know me-that, whilst keenly alive to the
follies of which / am guilty, you have es-
timated the value of the diamond by the
crude matter with which it is encrusted
This specimen of your analysis of charac-
ter teaches me that you have a keen eye
for the detection of faults, but have YET
to learn that you have corresponding
faculty for the appreciation of the sterling
virtues. Edueated-as you say you have
-been-to believe in the Immaculate nature
of woman, the effect, upon you, has been
to take from her virtues all merit--they
constituting her normal condition-and tc
attach to her faults all the criminality o.
active evil. Such theory must prove
fatal to your own happiness, and to tina
of the woman who may become your wife
and should be instrumental in subvert
ing that theory, and substituting a NOR,
rational and practical estimate of woman 7
character, our intercourse, however pain
full to both, will not have been unproftabl,
to you.-But let us not prolong this inter
view.-Good- d-byeW

firmly in his, gazed, for moment, upor
, her upturned face, dimly seen by star
| light, then, releasing her hand, they turn
, ed from each other in silence.

VINDIcATED.-Jno. W. White, Esq, Of
Chattanooga, who had been arrested on a
charge Of forging papers TO obtain land
warrants, had an examining trial at Clevc-
land on Saturday last before VIM. Lowry,
Esq, U, S. Commissioner, and Hon. John
G. Gaut, and was triumphantly yindicated
and acquitted. No man stands higher
than Mr.. White in the estimation Of all
who enjoy his intimate acquaintance, and
the regret at the circumstances which in
duced such step against him was very

Ducktown Edgle of Aug. 10, the follow
ing letter from the Sheriff of Polk county,
Tenn, giving an account of small war
which seems to be raging between por-,
ton of the people along the borders of
the two States of North Carolina and Ten
nessee
Mr.. Editor Some time in 1856 a diff
Guilty occurred between some North Caro-
linians and Tennesseeans living near the
State line. Shortly after, one of the
North Carolinians was arrested on tho
Tennessee side, who knocked the officer
down with stick, and then made his es-
cape.
Hostile encounters would occasionally
take place at length, in 1857, some four
or FIVE men from North Carolina made an
assault on man on the Tennessee side,
cutting and stabbing him severely with
knives.
For some time after all appeared quiet,
when, in the month of June last, early
one morning, some men from North Caro-
lima came over to Tennessee, went to the
house of gentleman and attempted to
beat him with sticks he Aed was pursued
to neighboring house, when a general
fight ensued the Tennesseeans, overpow-
cred by numbers, were badly beaten.
This excited the whole neighborhood,
and, as collisions still took place, and as
lighting appeared to be the order Of the
fday, the citizens of both states decided ON
a pitched battle. ~. =. ,.,t.,.s
Saturday, 31st July, was the day ap-
pointed for the contest, and they were to
meet on the Tennessee side to fight f
The day arrived. Thirty men on the
Tennessee side made their personal ap-
pearance at the place appointed, armed
with rifles, muskets, pistols, bowie-knives
and clubs.
Night came, and still not Carolinian
was to be seen, only a spy or two at q dis
tance. The Tennessee boys got inpatient
and. unlawfully slipped over the line,
found one Of the men they wanted, took
him out of bed and started with him for
Tennessee; some of his friends rushed to
the rescue, and a general battle took
place. No one was killed one had his
thumb shot off, another shot in the hand,
and another slightly wounded in the head,
whilst several were badly hurt by sticks
and rocks. s
The excitement among the people be-
came furious. The North Carolinians or
ganized a company to invade the Tennes-
see frontiers, and Monday night, the I'd
of August, was set apart for the attack.
About twenty-five Tennesseans Gin self

deputy sheriff, getting notice of the antici-

men, prepared to arrest the hostile pro-
ceedings. s43

About 2 o'clock, while most Of the sher-

alarm was raised by sentinels outside, who
fred their guns, and the enemy, which
was advancing, wheeled and fed.
No arrests were made. There is Bit

will yet ensue, unless the strong arm of
the law succeeds in arresting the affair.
