The story of Wllliam Tell.

Il is now known (see Dasenps Morse
Tales, Preface) that Tell made his appear
anee in the North hundreds of years tefore
his exploits were localized on the shores OF
the lake of Lucerne. The tale Of Tell first
appeared in Switzerland in l499. But as
early as the end Of ths llth century the
tale had been told OF the Scandinavian hero
PalnatOki, by that picker up OF all sorts OF
quaint information, Saxo examinations 10
the 18th century, il was told Of Egll, Vo-
lunder's younger brother. 1t was also told
of st. Olaf and Eindridi, aud Of King Har-
aid Sigurdson and Hemingt; both Of whom
lived in the l1th century. Well, to make
q long story short, the legend also occurs in
Faro. The ballad goes by the name Of
"Geyti Aslaksson." Many Of the features
and incidents are the same as in tho Swiss
story, the names are different of course.
King Harald (alas Gessler) asks his men If
they know any one who is his match in
strength. "Yes," they reply, "there is a
peasants son in Upland, 80 that, strictly
speaking, the legend belongs to the Scandi-
navian Main-"Geyti, (Gaute,) son of Aslak
who Ia the strongest of men," Forth goes
the King, and at last rides up to the house
of Aslak. "And where is your youngest
son?" "Woe worth the dayl no is buried
in Kolrin kirk yard" "Come and show me
his corpse, then, that may see whether he
was as strong as men say" The father puts
off the King with the exsuse that 1t would
be difficult to dad his sons remains among
the many that lie buried there. The King
rides over the heath, aud meets man In
scarlet, coming home from hunting, bow on
shoulder. "And who are you, my friendY'
"Gaute, son of Aslak.n The dead man, in
short, alive and we'll. The King tells him
be has heard Of his prowess, aud is come to
try his strength with him. Gaute Is quite
ready, no says, be it in huring the javclin,
or "putting the stone," shooting with the
bow, Rareyfying horses, or swimming His
Majesty fixes on the lust. He swims right
we'll, but Gaute swims better; aud he ends
by giving the monarch such ducking that
he is borne to his castle devoid Of sense aud
motion. Harald swallows bis anger, as he
had done the water; at last he dssembles,
and bids Gaute shoot walnut from his
brothers. head. Aslaksson assents, and in
vites the King to come to the forest, and
witness his dexterity. He prays to God and
ST. Olaf to direct his arrowhead.
''0n the string the shaft he laid,
Jesu hath heard his prayer,
He shot away the little nut,
Nor hurt the lad hair"
Next day the King sends for the skillful
bowman
''Iist thee Geyt Aslaksson,
Truly tell to me,
Why you had the arrows twain,
In the wood yestreen with thee"

The new Confederate Senator from Missis-
sippi is estitled, We think, TO something
warmer from the press of Alabama than the
mere formal announcement of his election
He is native Albanian, and besides, he is
in the Democrat Office at Huntsville, where
he was born, and afterwards conducted the
Flag of the Union, at Tuscaloosa, both as
printer and editor.
Although now comparatively young
man, (about fOrty,) Senator P. studied law
in the Office OF his elder brother Judge J. d.
Phelan. now of this city, but who then re-
sided in Marion, several years after he had
reached his majority. After short practice
In Alabama he removed to Aberdeen, Miss,
where he rapidly rose to high distinction In
his profession. And though rigidly alb
staining from all contests for official position,
he also acquired considerable reputation as
politician OF the State Rights School both
his voice and pen having been actively EN-
ployed in all The important contests in that
State for the last twelve years. From the
time of the fraudulent admission of California
in 1850, he steadily set his face towards dis
union, aud independence of the North.
The only office he ever held before the
present was that OF State Senator from the
county of Monroe, foom which be has been
taken to be made Confederate Senator. 1t
is manifest that the man who can thus rise,
per saLtuv, as it were, to the very highest
political honors of the Confederacy is no
common man, and we venture to predict for
him a high career of usefulness and honor

Official Corruption.
From the Lynchburg Virginian.


A writer in the Richmond Whiq, who
10 prevail in some of the public departments.
He is speaking of an abuse alleged to exist
in the Patent Offic'. thus:
A Department OF JHstice which allows, nav,
which is based upon, the principle of com
polling the honest citizens Of the ConfedeTa-
cy. 10 exchange the ordinary Bank notes
which he has periodically received. (for we
all know that the Banks aud the Government
haze for months understood each other.) is
certainly not such Department of Justice as
was contemplated by our Constitution. The
shrewd adaptation CT legal machinery TO
the promotion of the personal aims Of hum
CRY politicians, is eXcellently illustrated by
the fact that Mr.. Benjamin's Commissioner of
Patents has steadily sold the specie in which
he is paid, for noies-Thether Confederate
or State at fourteen per cent.
We are amazed that this system of specu-
lati0n should be tolerated To say nothing
of the systematic depreciation OF the Gov
ernment's currency, in quarter least to be
expected; it is converting The Department
into offices OF brokers and shavers; giving,
for all that appears to the contrary, perquis
ties to office holders, which were no: contem-
plated when their emouluments were fixed
by law. 1t is believed further, to be the prac-
tise of certain Postmasters who collect all
their dues in specie and pay the Government
in its own paper. 1t would be well for the
Government TO keep a sharp lookout for
these harpies. Let us have a high standard
of official qualification; otherwise, we may
soon have az much corruption there was in
the old Government under Buchanan's Ad.
inistration-enough in itself 10 destroy any
Government on earth
