"A Great National Romance"
BY ARrEMAS WARD.

"No, William Barker, you cannot have
my daughters hand in marriage until you
are her equal in wealth and social position"
The speaker was Il naughty old man of
some sixty years, and the pers IN he ad-
dressed was fine looking young man of
twenty-five.
With sad aspect the young man Withdrew
from the stately mansion.
H.
Six months later the young man stood in
the presence OF the naughty old man
''What! you hear again ?" angrily cried the
old man.
''Ay old man." proudly exclaimed Will
liam Barker 81 am here--your daughters
equal, and yours !"
The old mans lip cured with scorn A de-
riSive smile lit up his cold features when,
casting violently upon the center-table an
enormous roll of greenbacks, William Bar
ker cried:
''See-look on this wealth-and | have
tenfold more! Listen, old mani / did not
despair | secured a contract for furnishing
the army of the - with beef"
eyes, yes !" eagerly exclaimed the old man.
"And | bought up all the disabled cavalry
horses | could find"
81 see-I see!" cried the old man. 'And
good beef they make too"
'They do-they do and the profits are
immense !"
81 should say So"
''And now, sir, l claim your daughters fair
hand"
'Boy, she is yours. But hold! Look me
in the face. Throughout all this have you
been loya?"
''To the corel" cried William Barker.
"And," continued the old man, in voice
husky with emotion, 'are you in favor of a
vigorous prosecution Of the WARP"
81 am, ami"
''Then, boy, take her! Maria, child, come
hither; your William claims thee. BE hap
ply, my children! and whatever our lot in lite
may be, let us all support the government !"

CARLYLEsE ''APPLIED. w ere we to adopt
the Carlylean style of writing we should say
of his melancholy little contribution to the
literature Of the war-"Go to, thou pTeternat-
ural owl, chef OF the dismal ones in the Linn
bo of the Insane. Thine own M'Quirk, of the
tribe of Sans Gumption, so called, would have
made thee some Mammonism more worthy of
his small art than this miserable Devils sham
of thine. Be assured, 0 fatuous entity !
that this brazen unveracity which thou hast
set up upon ugly limbs of clay is recog-
Missed of all sane animals as an impostor of
its kind, and is not SO much as predestined
to enter the spacious Pantheon of respectable
lies Purblind Puerility what phantom of
Doubling Castle hast thou sent out, wrapped
in thy No-God cant, hoping that men should
notice so wretched thing, except perchance,
as a memento of thy most miserable decay If
meaning of words there be on this distemper-
ed nlanet of ours, then does this word ''hire'
which thou usest imply free contract,
or bargain; but that honest word of
good report and plain, open face, to
me it seemeth hast thou grlevlously mall
treated Son of thunder but thou ar; grow
ing woefully weak in these thy latter days.
To me it is visible that the fate OF thy SHINY
kennel of slave-owDerS is thing settled. Inc
gods are breaking the pet scourges OF men
upon the wheel OF their own murderous ma
lice, and, though they blaspheme and blubDer
to the miscarrying of bewildered moons, their
end draweth nigh. Understand, Moon-calt
that eternal justice rules the world, and that
inexorable destiny and doom hinder thee from
embarrassing the throne Of iniquity. The
brand of Can-oldest son of the Evil One
and Malefcent-is on the forehead of him
the scourger-whom thou presentest to us {
bleating innocent. He it was who leaped
with uplifted club, to beat out the brains o
his brother at the nortll-a verify hung up
like a world in space, to be seen of all men
and, in spite of'all scandalous phantasms, un
clean unveracities, and hIdeous outcrawling o
oozy foulness, not dragged down from HEAVIER
by that insanest effort Of thine.

THE DIAMOND MARKET The Indepen-
dents commercial thus describes the condi-
ton of the diamond market in New York:
Our diamond dealers say they have not
done larger or more profitable business
than during the last two years, but it is ex-
tremely difficult, from the very nature of the
most concentrated form of all earthly wealth,
to arrive with any degree of certainty at the
aggregate value of the importation of dia-
inondS into the country, for they are so ca
silly snuggled, that even the very low duty
OF 1--WE per cent. on unset precious stones does
not prevent their surreptitious introduction
into the country. A few days since "A dia-
mond merchant entered at the Custom House
a single brilliant, which was nvoiced in Paris
at forty thousand francs-the cost of which
after paying the duty of five per cent, would
be about fifteen thousand dollars The duty
on diamonds is SO small that there is hardly
temptation to smuggle them, yet the greater
part of the precious stones imported here
doubtless come free OF duty. The Custom
house books exhibit but a very small num-
Der of diamond entries; but the impurta-
tons of the past two years through the Gus
tom House show a considerable increa Sc
over any previous year The total amount
of gems and precious stones, not set, entered
at our Custom House in 1861, was but SIG,
5l3, while for the first quarter of the present
year it has been $97.2iG, and in 1862 it was
$lSS, S2l. So that in the second year of the
wal the importation Of diamonds increased
four fold on the previous year, and the third
year bids fair to double on that We doubt
if there have been any diamonds or unset
gems imported into the confederate states
since the commencement of the rebellion.

You'd all praise, and reflects great credit on

yond all praise, and reflects great credit on
the organization.
With an army thoroughly organized and
equipped for the work before him, Burnside
left Grab Orchard on the Dist of August. At
about the same time lIartsuh commenced the
onward movement from Somerset with the in
tantry portion of the army and with artillery.
1t may not be proper at this moment to par
ticularze the roads travelled, and we must be
content with giving the time and distance.
The army arrived at Knoxville on the Sd, be-
ing the fourteenth day since leaving Crab Or
chard, but only having had eleven marching
days, and the distance Travelled was, on the
route pursued by the main army, two hundred
and four miles, some brigades marching on
branching roads made the distance much
further. This made an average, by the main
army, of little over eighteen miles per day.
The march was compact, too. The mounted
division in front did not run off and leave the
infantry out of sight and hearing in its rear. If
any army during the war has made better
time we should be glad to chronicle the fact.
1t was this CELEBRITY of movement that COM
pletely disconnected Buckner, and sent him
flying in disgraceful haste cross the Tennessee
river within Bragg's protecting folds at Chat
tanOoga, without hazarding a fight with an
enemy under whose feet the grass never
grows. The effect upon Buckner was ex-
trcmely funny. He evacuated this place with
such indecent haste that he forgot his forces
in Cumberland Gap entirely, and left them
to be surrounded and cat off. That this is
the fact is proven by the circumstance that
three days after the entire rebel machinery
had gone southwark from here at Deck-or-
nothing speed, the rebel commssary at the
Gap arrived for the purpose of drawing ra-
tons, and on his arrival first learned that the
rebel government had departed this realm.
The wonderful march of Gen. Burnside is
not yet completed, as the rebels are earning
to their cost. Like the men of Rhoderic Dhu,
who sprang into life in the most impossible
places at the sound of their leaders bugle call,
the federal uniform suddenly appears at points
where they are least expected, and thea some
body is surprised, and brought, much against
his will, under the Ggis of the American eagle.
1t is as yet too soon to go into the history Of
this campaign with particularty, and we have
merely sketched the outline of the march, in
order that our readers may see that tho army
started to our deliverance at the earliest prac-
ticable moment, and made the best time Oh
record when it did start.
