thIcket, and beng always ready to avert
danger from bis head.
But gradually there stole melancholy
preseutment over the poor girls mind
She had been tortured with hope deferred
the war was prolonged, and the prospect
of being restored to him grew more uu-
certain.
But now she felt that her dreams ot
happiness could never be realized. She
became convinced that death was about to
snatch her away from lis side but she
prayed that she might die and he never
know to what length the violence of her
passion had led her.
1t was an eve before a battle. The
camp had sunk into repose, the watchfres
were burning low and only the slow tread
of sentinels fell upon the profound silence
of the night air, as they moved through
the dark shadows of the forest, Upon the
ground with no other couch than blan.
ket, reposed the warlike form of Jasper
Climbing vines trailed themselves TO can
opy above his head through which the stars
shown down brightly.
The faint flicker from the expiring EN-
bers of fire fell athwart his coun tenance
and tinged the cheek of one who bent over
his couch. 1t was the smooth faced strip
ling-she bent low down as if to listen to
his dreams, or to breathe into his soul
pleasant dreams of love and happiness.
But tears traced themselves down the
fair ones cheek and fell upon the brow OF
her lover.
A mysterious voice had told her that
the hourSfo parting had come; that to-
morrow her destiny is consumated. There
is one, last long look, and then the unhap
py maid is seen to tear herself away from
the spot to weep out her sorrow in privacy.
Fierce and terribleis the conflict that on
she morrow RACES on that spot. The fore
most one in the battle is the intrepid JAS
per, and ever by his side light that strip
ling warrior. Often during the heat and
the smoke, CLEANS suddenly on the eyes of
Jasper the melancholy face of the maiden
In the thickest of the fight, surrounded by
enemies fought the lovers, side by side
A lance is suddenly eveled a: the breast OF
Jasper but swifter than the lance is the
smooth faced warrior. There is wild
cry, and at the feet of Jasper sinks the
maiden with the life blood gushing from
the white bosom, which had been thrown
as shield before his breast. He did not
hear the din and danger of the conflict,
but down by the side Of that dying body
lie kneels.
Then for the first time does he learn
that the STRIPPING is his lover that the dim
visions in his sIumber Of an angel face
lowering above him had indeed been true.
In the midst Of the battle with her lover
by her side and the barb still in her bosom
the heroine maiden dies.
Her name, her sex and her noble devo-
ton soon became known throughout the
corps. There were fearful group gath
cred around her grave--there wasn't one
OF those hardy warriors who did not bedew
her grave with tears.
The buried her near the river Santee
in green shady nook, that looked as if
it had been stolen out of PARADISE p

AN INDIAN BRAvE.-The Austin (Tex.

gun, bow and arrows, trappings, DC, of
Indian recently killed in Burnet County
a wild Camanche - and adds: "Mr.
Hunter, of Burnet, describes his conduct
and death as being brave in the highest
degree. A party of about ten had pursu-
ed and over,aken the Indians, about the
same number, and at last intercepted them.
The Indians took to the timber. The
whites attempted to pursue, when this
Indian turned on foot and faced the whole
party. With his gun at bis shoulder he
run at one and another, although fired at
all the time with six shooters, and succeed

Mr.. Hunter says he got down on his knees
as quiet as man going to prayer, and

party join in the belief that he met bis

RemovaI Of ths oapllal---The Census.

The steady and rapid westward march of
empire must in time bring with it the Capital of
the Republic, and already the subject begins to
command the attention of Congress In the
Senate, Mr.. Grimes, of Iowa, has given notice
of bill for the removal of the Capital of the
United States to some central locality, and it is
said the measure has many friends With mem
bers from distant sections Of the country. The
proposed reduction of mileage of members
which passed the House by strong vote, and
which we trust wiz the Senate, it is thought
will also contribute to the removal of the Cap.
ital from Washington. When the mileage is
cut down to nearly actual expenses, central
location will find favor with many members
who now coin money by circuitOus distances.
The census of 1860 will give the free States,
and especially the Western, increased strength
in the House, and soon Kansas, Nebraska, and
Jefferson will make Che West still more potent
in the Senate. The census will probably give
population Of nearly 10000, 600 to the free
States, and the slave States some less than
100000 free, and 100000 slaves. If the
ratio Of representation in Congress should be
fixed at 10000, the slave States will have 81
members, making no allowance for what may
be gained by fractions; loss of three Repre-
ssntatives; and the free States will have 1853
members, nearly two to one, and gain of l6
This viii be a change of nineteen, and each
coming decade Of years will tell similar
story.
The removal of the. Capital Of the Federal
Union to the Mississippi Valley at some period,
and not very remote in the future, may be re-
garded as a foregOne conclusion. That time
viii surely be hastened, should the rufisnlv
rule of the bludgeOn, bowie knife, and pistol. be
continued in Washington, a nd further upheld
by the inhabitants and authorities thereof.

But il it should bs adm tied that the recital
in the requisition is tantamjunt to direct
assertion that Merriam was IN The language Of
that recital, ga fugitive from justice from Virs
gini0," the admission would avail nothing :
That assertion is by no means equivalent TO an
avement that he fed from The state to elude
lis justice. 1t may lead to an inference of ac-
iRGi flight, or it may mean con trHetive one
only. Whether 1t mean the one or the other
It is sufficient TO say that this extraordinary
poHl is not to be exercised on q Burmise or
inference. Beyond this, however, no mere
lormali unsworn allegation of flight, be It never
80 clear and unequivocRl, can be deemed sufii.
cient. In this, as in all other proceedings
which effect the right Of personal liberty, every
fact Oh which the power Of removal depends
mustbe established by due and satifaetory
evidence. The necessity of insisting on rigid
proof Of fight will not be doubted by any one
familiar with the fact that, in some Of the States
a practice has grown DIP Of demanding tho
surrender, ag "fugtives from justice from those
/ States. II" Of persons who have never been with
/ in their limits, on the legal fiction Of a con-
struetive presence and a constructive fight
/ 1t is not known that this practice has obtained
in Virginia, nor is it material TO inquire, as all
acquisitions, from whatever State must be
governed by uniform law. Moreover, while
this custom sufficiently vindicates the Dropriety
of the rule, the rule itself rests on larger foun>
dalions. 1t grows out of the very nature of the
power The immunity of the citizen from ar
rest and exile would stand on the irailest
ground, if held subject to the mere unverrifed
declaration of even the highest iunctionary in
the land. 1t is not too much to say that a
power 50 arbitrary can have no lawful exist
once in free government. O. e-
These considerations, it seems TO me, are en-.
tirely decisive. For tho reason that the requi.
sition, with its annexed documents" furnishes
no evidence of the fight of Merriam from
Virginia, it altogether fails, in my judgment,
to make out a case which will warrant his ex'
tradition. Whether this defect can be cured is
question which addresses itself solely TO the
authorities of that State. Finding one barrier
to the exercise of the authority invoked by this
requisition, it has not seemed proper TO inquire
as to the existence of any other. For all pres
ent purposes, it is enough for us to know that
as the case now stands, the objection is fatal.

The agent Of Virginia having published the
fact that Gov Denniaon declined to issue war
rants for the apprehension of Owen Brown
and Francis Merriam, upon the TequiSition Of
Governor Iclcher, Of Virginia, the State jour
nal gives the annexed letter of the Governor
Of Ohio to che Governor of Virginia.
It will be seen that Gov. DennisOn's refusal
to issue the warrants, rests upon the want Of
substance, rather than of form in the appliSa-
tlon; the absence of pre- of of material all'ga"

issue the e1tradiliOa warrants. llJll q

EktOrtion and Famine at Charleston,


The delegates and outsiders who purpose tc
crowd the old city of Charleston on the 23d Of
April, have pleasant prospect before them
Charleston papers state that the prices of pro
visions and lodging rooms have gone up to ar
alarming extent, and of course the purses of the
delegates and other visitors during the Conven-
ton must suffer accordingly. The sum of $3.50
per day is charged for Hall for Convention
purposes, anG other things in proportion. The
N. Y. Post says: -- ..,
But still greater calamity awaits the good
Democr ITS who make their rendezvous at
Charleston. Famine staFes them in the face.
Beef is now selling there at twenty-five cents
a pound, and The price threatens to advance
indefinitely. A leading hotel keeper of Charles
ton has been to this city to visit the butchers
of Fulton market, and secure contracts for beef
to be delivered in Charleston during the Con-
venlion, but found the prices demanded too
high, and fears are entertained that the culinary
preparation Of beef will, for the lack of the
raw material, soon become to Charleston one Of
the lost arts This will certainly be the case
in the event of the failure of the line of steam
ers to New York. .i.s.ttsr
Its bad enough for Charleston to have TO
have depend on a northern market for her food,
and not be able to afford to buy it but we do
not pity the citizens there SO much as we do

month to that city to face the inconveniences
