Who Is It?


While here, have heard a romantic story
that am assured is true, and which, rs it re-
vcals the Inconsistency Of woman, and the'elastc
character of the feminine heart, am not dis
inclined to reject A young woman, possessed
of b fine person and property, Il member of the
Oldest and most fashionable families in the
State, became engaged to young man in her
own grade in life, who was major in the
Confederate service, and was to marry him at
the termination If the war, if he survived. If
vows, and being Catholic, had promised to
Heaven. They were a model pair of lovers,
and all who knew them believed they were the
embodimcnts Of poetry, tenderness and dcvo-
tion to each other; that they lived what bards
had sung aud romanccs had described. They
were like two blossoms on one stem--a planet
and its rays.
AS usually happens, fate frowned on their
felicity, and jealous of their love, cut the ma
terial cloud Of the sentimental majors being at
Fort Wagner. Eloisa was mad with grief and
nconsolable forevermore. Her parents be-
lieved she would not and could not live; and
that if she did, she must be bereft of reason.
Months passed. Charleston fell. Columbia
was threatened Eloisa remained She was
anxious TO be slain. by the barbarans who
had murdered her lover. The Union forces
arrived, but had something else 10 do than
kill women, and Eloisa survived in spite Of
herself.
She heard tho regiment was in town that
had charged upon the battalion led by her best
beloved and she resolved to see the colonel,
denounce him as the slayer of her prince and
and tcace Eloisa saw him and had trcmen-
dous scene. The colonel was handsome and
gallant; and when the fair girl thundered,
as all her sex do at first, and then rained, he
was touched and interested in the unknown
woman He comforted and consoled her, rela-
ting the truth of the idea that the heart is
never SO susceptible to new attachment as
when it is recovering from an old one
In four weeks she had learned to love tho
Yankee savage, and expressedher willingness
to be his; while he was resigned, as most men
ape, to be worshipped by her if she were bent
on any such folly.
They were married, in spite of the threat.

than two-thirds of the entire mortality oil

more than one.half the mortality Of that

SUPPRESSION OF THE PVBLio
RECRRDa.

A few weeks since we called upon Cover
nor Saulsbury's Secretary of State and
Senator Saulsburys law partner, to explain
why the resolutions on the death of Abra.
ham Lincoln, passed by both Houses of the
Legislature, were not published with the
laws of the late session. No answer has
been given 10 this question, and we are left
10 the conclusion that the Secretary OF State,
acting, no doubt, under the advice of Gov.
salisbury, deliberately violated his plain
duty as public officer 10 crafty his party
malevolence. This attempt TO conceal from
the people the record of the Legislature is
in keeping with all the other mean and petty
acts resOrted to by Democratic politicians to
maintain their power in Delaware If Andy
johnson is following in the footsteps of
Abraham Lincoln, as he says he is, and the
Democratic party approve of Andy John.
sons policy" as in convention has been
resolved, then why withhold as part of the
public records, the resolutions passed by
the Democratic Legislature? Is it because
these resolutions give the lie TO many Of the
charges made by the Copperheads during
the rebellion? We again call upon the Sec.
retary of State for light upon this subject,
and we tell him and his advisers, that no
public officer can wltully do an act OF this
kind without being held to answer for ii
at the bar of public opinion.
