along the valleys or over the mountains
of the peace-loving Americans. Dur
ing this lapse of time, events occurred
to materially change the relative posi-
tlons of Edwin Clarke and Isabel Pey-
ton towards each other. s....... ..s.',
On the night of Isabel's fight from
her fathers roof, the guests being all
assembled, Abby was ordered to bring
Isabel from her room, as everything
was ready for the ceremony. Accord.
ingly, the obedient servant fastened
to lsabel's room. After searching
with praiseworthy diligence, she re-
turned with q rue1ul countenance aud
revealed the appalling news to the wait
ing guests that the bride acas no achere
to be found! "But," continued she,
'this letter was laying on the table, ad.
dressed to her father; perhaps it will
tell where she is" Peyton took the
letter with forboding heart, broke the
seal, and read
"MY DEAR FATHER II know that am about to
infiict bitter pang, which would, could have
done so conscientiously, have spared you have
measures for my own preservation, hoping that
you would relent but see it is useless There
fore, shall absent myself from home till you con-
clude to carry this hateful marriage farther 1t
will be useless to search for me, for have meas
ures to elude the utmost vigilance. Adieu, and
believe me, though disobedient in this respect to
be "YOur affectionate daughter,
hr31 9Iar 10 IsABRL PEYroS"
When Peyton finished the letter, not
word escaped his lips, but his face
exhibited the fercest passions of the
human heart at work. For a moment
he stood silent, while fiendish glare
shot from his eyes, and then fell pros
trate on the floor. The attendants
Immediately hastened to raise him /;
but it was to lato! He had burst a
blood vessel, and before an hour had
elapsed he expired.
On IsabePs recovery from her illness
she was conveyed to her home by Mr..
Farley; but her feelings can be better
imagined than described when she
learned the melancholy fate of her mis-
guided father. Mr.. Peyton's sudden
death precluded his leaving will, and
Isabel was now sole mistress of her
heart and fortune. Heart did / say i?
No, not that; for that had been long
ago bestowed upon Clarke, who had
hastened to her side at the disbanding
of the army. And now preparations
were fast making a second time for
lsabel's bridal. This time she entered
with her whole heart into the arrange
ments; and when her mansion was
again illuminated, she was standing
on the balcony with Clarke-a bride.
Thus ends my tale. "'Tis strange, tits
passing strange" yet not more strange
than true.

Eulosy on the Death of Senator Bingham
..by Mr.. Chandler.
In SENATE, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 1856

~NNN'
Mr.. CHANDLER. Mr.. President,
again is the Senate called to mourn the
loss of one of it's members. Thrice
since the adjournment of the extra ses
sion iu March last has the great de-
stroyer knocked at the door of the Sen
ate Chamber, and on each occasion one
of our noblest and best has fallen be.
fore his fatal shaft. Then Douglas,
Bingham and Baker were nobly com
batting for the preservation of the Con-
stitution and the Union now they are
silent; they are

From whose bourne no traveller returns"
gone to account to that CHER tribunal
before which we all must ere long ap-
pear.
Mr.. President, it is my painful duty
to announce to the Senate and the coun-
try the decease of my late colleague.
Hon. Kinsley S. Bingham, which oc-
Cured at his residence in Green Oak.
Livingston county, Michigan, on Satur-
day, the 5th day of October last.
Mr.. Bingham was born in Camillus,
Onondaga county, State of New York,
on the 10th of December, 1908. His
father was farmer in moderate cir
cumstances, but of high character and
strict integrity. As was usual with the
sons of farmers at that time, young
Bingham attended the district school
in the winter, and labored on the farm
in the summer, until, at the age of thir-
teen years, he commenced his academi-
cal course at Onondaga Hollow, which
was subsequently completed at Ben
nigton, Vermont, the birthplace of his
father; after which he taught district
school in his native town, and at the
age of twenty entered the law Office of
James r. Lawrence, Esq, of Camillus,
(now. of Syracuse) New York. AL
though he was admitted to the bar, |
am not aware that he ever entered upon
the practice of his profession, his taste
leading him to agricultural pursuits.
In the spring of 1888, at the age OF
twenty four. appreciating the future
destiny of the then prosperous Terri
tory of Michigan, he selected it as his
nome, ana SeJtleu upon tne ia' VI on
which he continued to reside until his
death. Without money or friends.
with nothing but his strong arm and
indomitable will, with his young and
interesting wife, he chose to carve fol
himself, in the midst of the wilderness,
home, a name and fame. How vel
this was accomplished, the records Of
his adopted State and the Nation viii
answer. He was appointed the first
! Justice of the Peace, the first Post
master, and the first Supervisor in the
township. He was elected a member
of the House of Representative o.
the first Legislature under the State
Constitution, and was reelected five
successive years; and during those
years was three times elected speaker
of the House of Representatives. IL
ls46 he was elected a member of th'
popular branch of the National Legis
iature, and re- elected in ls4s. A Dem
ocrat of the Jeffersonian and Jackson
school, and Jealous partizan when th,

Patriotic Letter of Gen. Scott Concerning e
the Mason and Slidell Affair.

My DEAR SIR: You were right in
doubling the declaration imputed to
me, to wit: That the Cabinet at Wash
ington had given orders for the seizure
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, even under
a neutral flag, for l was not even aware
that the Government had had that
point even under consideration. At
the time of my leaving New York it
was not known that the San Jacinto
had returned to the American seas !:
and it was generally supposed those
persons had escaped to Cuba for the
purpose of re-en1bark;ng in the Nash
vile, in pursuit of which vessel the
James Adger and other cruisers had
been dispatched. w p se.rs :
l think l can satisfy you in few
words that you have no serious occa-
sion to feel concerned about our rela-
tions with England, if, as her rulers pro-
fess, she has no disposition to encour-
age dissensions in America.
In the first place it is almost super
fuous to say to you that every instinct
of prudence as well as good neighbor-
hood prompts our Government to re-
gard no honorable sacrifice too great,
for the preservation of the friendship
of Great Britain This must be obvi-
Gus TO all the world. At no period Of
our history has her friendship been of
more Importance to our people; at no
period has our Government been in q
condition to make greater CONCESSIONS
to preserve it. The two nations are
united by interests and sympathies-
commercial, social, political and religi-
Gus, almost as the two arms to one body,
and no one is so ignorant as not to know
that what harms one must harm the
other in corresponding degree.
| am persuaded that the British Coy
Lernnaent can entertain no doubt upon
this point, but if it does, 1 feel that i
may take it upon myself to say that the
President of the United States, when
made aware of its existence, viii lose
no opportunity of dispelling it.. soei
Nor is there anything, venture to
affirm, in the seizure of these rebel EN-
issaries which ought to receive an N.
friendly construction from England
Her statesmen will not question the
legal right of an American vessel OF
war to search any commercial vessel
Justly suspected of transporting contra.
band of war that right has never been
surrendered by England I; it was even
guaranteed to her by the Treaty Of
Paris, and British guns frowning dowr
upon nearly every strait and inland ses
upon the globe, are conclusive evidence
that she regards this right as one, the
efficacy of which may be not yet en-
tirely exhausted. OF course there il
much that is irritating and vexatiou'
in the exercise of this right under tn
most favorable circumstances, and it j
to be hoped the day is not far distan
when the maritime States of the worlt
will agree in placing neutral commerc'
beyond the reach of such vexatIons
THE United States Government ha
been striving to this end for more thar
fifty years; to this end. early in tn
present century and its infancy as ma
| ton, it embarked in a war with IN.
greatest naval power in the woria' ans
It is even now a persistent suitor a
