a TOUCHING ANEcDoTE.-Hon A. II.
STEPHENS, of Georgia, in recent address
at meeting in Alexandria, for the benefit
of the Orphan Asylum and free schools Of
that city, related the following anecdote:
A poor little boy, in a cold night in
June, with no home or roof to shelter bis
head, no parental or maternal guardian or
guide to protect or direct him on his way,
reached at nightfall the house of rich
planter, who took him in, fed, lodged, and
sent him on his way with his blessing.
These kind attentions cheered his heart, and
inspired him with fresh courage to battle
with the obstacles of life. Years rolled
round; Providence led him on; he had
reached the legal profession his host had
died; the cormorants that prey On the SUBJ
stance of man had formed conspiracy to
get from the widow her estates. She sent
for the nearest counsel to commit her cause
to him, and that counsel proved to be the
orphan boy years before welcomed and en-
tertained by her deceased husband. The
stimulus of a warm and tenacious gratitude
was now added to the ordinary motives
connected with the profession. He under
took her cause with will not easily to be
resisted; he gained it the widows estates
were secured to her in perpetuity and
MIR. Stephens added, with an emphasis of
emotion that sent its electric thrill through
out the house, {" that orphan boy stands
before you

CoRr1NAs is about As years of age aud
was born at ranch on the Texas side of
the Rio Grande, known as Edinburgh, some
ninety miles above Brownsville. During
the Texas war with Mexico, the family of
Cortinas was, according to this story, robbed
and numerically treated by the Amer cans.
Since that period be has led rather preda-
tory life, sometimes at peace, but in the
main robbing, stealing horses, and in vari-
GUS ways evipcing his hatred Of the whites.
A few years since, one of his friends and
companions was executed at Brownsville,
and Cortinas himself was imprisoned at that
place eighteen months ago, and on his es-
cape or release he vowed signal vengeance
against the sheriff and other citizens OF the
town by whom he considered himself griev-
ously wronged. 1t is in ful6llment OF bis
oath of revenge that Cortinas is now, with
other disafected Texans of Mexican birth,
halt breeds, Indians and rufians of various
grades, endeavoring to lay waste the
city of Brownsville and its vicinity. This
affair does not originate in any i'll feeling
on the part of Mexicans on the other side of
the Rio Grande; and whether Cortinas or
any of his band have in reality experienced
unjust treatment from their fellow citizens
in Texas, we of course do not pretend to
decide. 1t is probable these outlaws will
continue the war upon Brownsville until
strong force from the United States army
arrives, when they will flee into Mexico.

Mr.. Bates and the Fugitive Slave Law

In what is understood to be an uuthora-
tive exposition of Mr.. BATES opinion, that
gentleman declares himself decidedly in favor
Of the Fugitive Slave Law. The following
is statement of what that gentleman be.
lieves in this connection
Mr.. Bates believes in the unqualified right
of the owner to recover his slaves if they
escape to free State and if President he
would execute the Fugitive Slave Law if
the army and navy of the Government were
equal to the task. And if the Fugitive
Slave Law should be repealed, or should be
found inadequate to the service of returning
absconding slaves to their masters, Mr..
Bates would earnestly recommend to Con-
gress to pass some law that would more
acceptably carry out the Constitutional
guarantees of the rights of the Southern
Shareholders He would consider the Uuior
a broken compact, if these plain guarantees
were denied by the deliberate and persever-
ing action of any part of the confederacy.
