An Affecting Case.

A young gentleman who says he lives in
Culpeper County, Virginia, has recently met
with experience in New York, which gave him
entirely new ideas in regard TO the female char
acter. He states that as he was crossing
Washington park, about ten o'clock one even
ing, he was accosted by the lovelest girl lie
ever beheld," who told him that she had dying
mother at home, and begged him to hasten
thi,her, and if possible help to save her parent
The young Culpeperian, overcome by the ap-
peal, drew the supplicant'S arm within his, and
set ont for the scene of suffering" They had
not gone far, however, when stout aud iero-
cious looking man suddenly sprang upon them
and exclaimed "Ah have yon now =
You're a pretty miss, aren't you? And you,
You young rascal you're the william who has
poisoned my home and broken my wiie's heart
But I'll have vengeance now~ The girl sob
bed and begged "her father not TO kill
her, and also 10 spare Harry" whom she
loved dearer than her own life. The young
gentleman was perfectly bewildered. He ecould
only account for the condition in which he
found himself on the hypothesis that in some
oblivious moment, when in state of intoxica-
ton. he had won the affections Of the lovely
girl by his side, and ruined the peace Of a once
happy family. lie was recalled from his spec
ulations on the subject by the CLEAN of pistol
barrel; the muzzle toward his brain. The
Outraged father" with fierce impEecations,
ordered him to prepare for instant death. -
The girl impIorcd her ineXorable parent to
re!ent, which at last he agreed to do on condi-
ton that the infatuated pair should agree never
to see each other more. To this the young
Yrginan readily and fervently asSented where
at the devoted young lady seemed much panied,
but after embracing him violently she walked
away with a melancholy Air. The father
watched her until she disappeared, and then
with warning glance departed. AS soon as
the Young man recovered from bis astonish-
ment. he felt for his watch TO see the hour, but
his watch had unaccountably disappeared, and
so had his purse Then the young gentleman
from Culpeper County understood the whole
matter.

HORRIBLE MURDER.-From private letter
which ~c have been permitted to see, we learn
that on last Saturday morning between and
o'clock, series of most horrible murders
were committed near Omega, in Louisiana
This horrible outrage is shrouded in mystery.
The facts as we learn them arc as follows -
The citizens in the neghborhood of the horror
mentioned discovered the house of Mr.. Henry
keenan, TO be burning, and on repairing 10 The
spot discovered that Mrs Keenan, and her two
children had been murdered, and terribly
burned in the destroyed building. a further
search enabled them 10 discover the body Of
Mr.. Keenan, about two hundred yards from the
house covered with leaves and bark from the
trees, with ten bullet holes in his back. Who
could have committed this revolving crime Is
as yet a matter Of the mcrest conjecture.

The escape Of Colonel Grcnfel from the Dry
Tortugas took place on the night between the
9Th and 7th of March. The Colonel managed
to take along with him three other prisoners
and one Of the soldiers who was on guard at
the time, being the one who was the sentinel
in charge Of the boats connected with the post
whilst be was on guard. 1t is supposed that
the Colonel in some way managed to bribe the
guard TO desert, and to aid him and the other
three prisoners to escape. As soon as the es-
cape was discovered the United States steamer
Bibb was sent out in search Of the fugitiyes,
but she failed to find any trace Of them. On

The Baltimore Commercial says II ever a
man, a statesman, and ruler, deserved the sym
patty and support of the people in struggle
made by him to maintain their rights and con-
s;itutional liberty, the President deserves sup
port and sympathy now" We think so, too.
With all his errors of commission and omission
with all his failures to take proper steps at
the proper time to arrest the progress of the
faction that is now revolutionizing the Govern
ment-with all his faults before, during and
since the war-we, nevertheless, cannot help
regarding him at the present crisis, with feel
ings of much consideration, and trusting that
he may yet triumph over his violent and un-
Just prosecutors. He has had right on his side
even since he stood up against the Radical
Congressional oligarchy Alexandria Gaz.

A MODERN HAMAH-The Richmond H'hig
Of Friday says that Forney, who has clam-red
so savagcly for the impeachment of the PreSi-
dent, is now under impeachment himself. A
Senatorial committee is TO investigate the myS-
tcrious disappearance Of $4,000 public money
in the custody Of this c5erdlier dndustie.-
Forncy says the money WAS stolen by his uncle,
old Mr. Wagner. The old man deniesit. It's
evident from what occurred in the Senate about
the matter, Wednesday, that Cameron, who
knows both men, and is good Judge Of rogues,
believes that Forncy is the thief If the in
vestisaton is faithfully made, it seems likely
that Forney, who bawls daily foT the execution
Of the President, may find himself despatched
first. We commend to him the perusal of the
history and fate Of Haman.

Mr. Butler--.A Dinner Scene.

A Washington correspondent writes the fol-
lowing account Of scene which was lately en-
acted at Wilard's:
There is loose darkey about Willards Ho-
tel named Tom You can bribe Tom TO do
anything The other day there was a dinner
party given by New York contractor. at
which it was understood Ben. Butler would be
a guest Some disloyal wag, withpnt the fear
Of Congress 'efore him, got hold Of Tom, fed
him literally, and put him up to a piece Of out
rageous AMI reasonable trmfoolery.
After the plates were served. the host said,
"That will DO, Tom; you can 60" But Tom
did not 90. Observing that his orders were
n / obeved. the contractor repeated, Il told
you to 60, Tom; if l want you, I'll ring for
you"
Still Tom hung about the door and did not
retire. At last, very much worried at his con-
tumacy, New York turned upon Ethiopia and
said stern,y, attracting the attention OF the
whole company, " I've told you twice to leave
the room, and by -, III be obeyed, or put
you out myself
Tom approached he table humbly, and re-
piled in a subdred tone, but loud enough to- be
heard by all present, " If you please, sir =
with submission-"I can't go; I'm obliged to
stay"
"The hi you are What for?"
"Well, sab, if must tell, | must. axes
Mars Buffers pardon, hut I'm 'Sponsible for de
spoons. Dem spoons is silver, an WAS spe-
cially set to watch EN-. | can't 60, sab. It's
as much as my place is wif, sab" The sequel
can be better imagined than described.
