V ,s In the Fpring of. 18 : I was call oil to' Jackson, Alabuma, to" attend court, jiavipg been eallcJ to doleuil a young plan who had been accused of robbing the mail. The .stolon bag had been racovered, as well as the Tetters from -which the. money, had. been rilled. These letters were given me 'for my examination,; and I returned .'them to the prosecuting attorney. . Having got through my preliminaries about noon, and as the case would not come oil' till the next day, I went into court iu the afternotin to see what , was' .going on. The first caso that came up one of thelt, and the prisoner was a young girl not more than seventeen years of nge, named Elizabeth . Med worth. .She was very pretty, .and bore that mild, iuuouent look which is seldom found in a culprit. . She had been weeping profusely, but as she found so many eyes upon her she be came too frightened to weep more. .The complaints against hor set forth that feliu had stolen a hundred dollnrs from a rs. Nnsby, and' as tho cuho went on I found that this Mrs. Nasby, n wealthy widow living in the town, was the girl's mistress. Tho poor girl declared her innocence in the wildest terms, but the circumstance were hard against her. .A hundred dollars in bank notes had ' been stolen from her mistress's room, and she was the only person that had access there. , , . t s At this juncture, when tho mistress was upon the witness stand, a young mnn came and caught me by the arm, and said: ";."' "People teU mo that you are a" fine lawver." "I am a lawyer," I said. ''Then save her! You certainly can do it, for she is innocent." , '.'Has she no counsel f" .:, . "None that is good for any thing nobody that will do anything for her. Oh, save her, and I will give you all that I have got. I can't give you much, but I can raise something. " 1 reflected a moment. I cast my eyes toward the prisoner, and she wus at that moment looking at me. She caught my eve, and the volume of en treaty I read in her glance resolved ine in a moment. I arose and went to the girl, and asked if he . w'uhed me to defend her. hc said yes.' I then informed the court I w:u ready to enter the esse, and waii admitted at once- The loud murmurs of satis faction that rati through tho crowd, told me where the sympathies of the people were. I asked a moment's cessation, that I might speak to my client. . 1 went and sat down by her side, and then asked her to state candidly the whole case. hbe Jjad lived with Mrs. Xasby nearly two years' aud had never had any trouble before. About two weeks ago, the said her mistress had mised a Luu dred dollars. "She missed it from Tier drawer," the girl said to me, "and asked me about it- That evening I know that Xancy Luther told 31rs. Nasby that she saw me take the money from the drawer that she watched me through the keyhole. Then they went to my trunk and found twenty-five dollars of the missing money there. Jiut, sir, I never took it, and somebody else put it there." " "" ". I then asked her if she suspected any one. - . I dou"f know who could have done it but Nancy. She has never liked me because.ehe thought I was treated bet ter than she. .She is the cook. I was thi chambermaid." She pointed Nancy Luther out to me. JShe was a stout, bold-faced frirl, somewhere about five and twenty years old, with a low forehead, small eyes, a pug none and thick lips. I caught tier glance at once, as it rest ed on the fair young prisoner, and the moment I detected the look of hatred which I read there, I was - convinced that she was a rogue. - "Nancy Luther, did .you" say that girl's name was?" I asked, for a new light had broken tipon roe. c ,.. "Yes, sir." - I left the court room and went to the prosecuting attorney and asked him for the letters I handed him the ones that had been stolen . from the mail bag. lie gave them to me, and having selected one I returned the rest, and told him I would see he had the one I kept before night.- I then returned to the court room and the case went on. - Mrs. Nasby resumed her testimony. She said she intrusted the room to the prisoner s care, ana no oce else naa access there save herself. Then she described about the missing money, and cloned by telling ho w she found twenty-five dollars in; the prisoner's trunk. She could swear it was the identical money that she had lost, in two ten dollar, and one five dollar banknotes. ; . - . "Mrs. Nasby," said I, "when you hrst missed the money, naa you any reason to believe the prisoner had. ta- ken it r . - -: - - "No, sir." . . ' ;.' ;. Should vou . have thought of searching her trunk, had not Nancy Luther advised yon.-' - "No. sir." ... . . . . , ".,"'..'..':..;', Mrs. Nasby then left the stand, and Nancy Luther took Tier place. 11 She came up with a bold front, and cast defiant look, as if to say, "Trap me if you can." She then gave her evidence as follows; f..T '. 'f- ; .. ,:r She said that on the night the mon ey was taken 6ho saw the prisoner go im pairs, and from the sly manner in which stiP went up, she suspected that li wn not. riVht. so she followed her --0 . ., ii n .' .'. , - . "Elizabeth went ' to Mrs. Nasby's room and shut the door alter her. stoonftrl rlown and looked through the kevhole. and saw her take . tb money and put it - in- her, pocket. Then she stooped down and picked un the lame and as 1 saw she was comLncr out 1 hurried away." ' Then she went on, told how she in formed her mistress of this, and how she proposed to search' the girl's A U Jf iW nl Mi fir: ALBANY PJIEOONFIIIDAY, OCTOBER 27, trunk. ' ' v: ' ' ";'' 'v! .; I called Mrs. Nasby bnck.i .. i "You said no one save yourself had access to your room ; now couldn't Naniy Luther have entered the room if she wished?" 5 h i"UertainJy I meant that no one else had any right there." ' ' . I saw tlvat Mrs. Nasby, though nat urally a hard woman, was somewhat moved by the misery of poor Eliza beth. ',' : ' ; ; "Could your cook have known by any means in your knowledge where your money was?" .; n: f . " "Yes, sir; for she often comes 1 to my room for tho purpose of; getting money to liiy provisions -of market men who happened to come along wilh tlmir wagons."

"Miss Luther," I said, "why did you not inform your mistress at once of what you had seen, without waiting for Iter to ak about her money '(. "Jlecause I oould not at onco make np my mind to expose the poor 'girl," she answered promptly. "You say you looked through tho keyhole and saw her take out the money 3r" . ; "Yes, sir." "Where did she placo the lamp w hen she did so J" "On the bureau." In your testimony you said she stooped down when nht picked it up.

"Not quite a year." "How much does she pay you a week If" . "A dollar and three-quarters" , "Have you drawn any of your pay since you have been there V" "Yes, sir." "iiow much y ' "I don't know." "Why don't vou know T "How should I? 1 have taken it at different tunes, just as I wanted it, aud kept no account." Then you bavu't laid up any money since you have been there?" ; .. "No sir; tdy what Mrs. Nasby may owe roe." .. . - . ; "Will you tvll me if you belong to tbi State?". , "I do." . "Iu what town?" She hesitated and for a moment tho bold look forsook her. I uexl turned to Mrs. Naiby. , "Do you take receipts from your girls when vou pay them ?" "Always."" i "L'an you send aud get one of them for me ?.' 4; "She has told you the truth about the payment," said Mrs. Naby. "Obi J don't doubt it; but particu lar proof is the thing for the court room. So, if you can, I with you would procure the receipt." She said she would w illingly go, if the court said, so. The court did say so, and she went, Her dwelling was not far oflj and she soon returned with four'receipw, which I took and exam ined. They w ere signed iu a strong, staggering baud by the witness. "jVow, Nancy Luther," I said, turn ing to the witness, and speaking in a quick, startling tone, at the same time ooking her sternly jn tho eve, "please tell the court and jury where you got the seventy-hve dollars you sent in your letter to your sister over in Som- ers At this she stared as though a vol cano had burst at her feet. She turn ed pale as death, and every limb shook violently. . I waited until tho people eould hare an opportunity to see her emotion, and then I, repeated the question. , . . "1 never sent !ny," she gasped. "You did J" I thuudcrcd, for. I was excited now. . "I I didn't," she faintly murmured, grasping the railing by her side for support. ,., '. ' ; "iUay it pleaso your honor and gen tlemen of tiic jury," I said, "I came here to defend a man who was arrest ed for robbing the mail, and in the course of my preliminary examina tion I had access to the letters which had been torn open and robbed of money.. When I entered upon the se, and heard the name of the wit ness pronounced, I went out and got this letter which 1 now hold, ior L re membered having seen one . bearing the signature of Nancy Luther. This letter was taken from, the mail bag, and it contained seventy-five dollars; ana ty looking at the- post-mark, you will observe that it wasf, mailed the day after tho, hundred dollars was ta ken from Mrs. Nasby's drawer, and is directed to .'Dorcas Luther, Somers Montcromerv conntv.-Alabama.' And now 1 will only add it is. plain to see how the hundred dollars were disposed : , . y. , of.-. Seventy-five dollars were sent off for sate keeping,, while the remaining twenty-five dollars. were placed in the prisoner s trunk, for . the purpose of covering the real criminal, I now leave my client's case in your hands." ' The case was given to the jury; im mediately after, ther examination of the letter. ".They had heard from, the witness's own mouth that she had no money of her Own, and without leav ing their seats, thoy returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." ' l' ; I will not describe the scene that followed, but if Nancy ( Luther had not' been immediately arrested for theft she would have been obliged to seek protection of the officers, of the excited people would have maimed her. at least if they had not done more. The next morning I received a. note handsomely; written in ' which I was told that the within was but a Blight token of the gratitude due me for my efforts in behalf of tbe poor defence less maiden, ; It was eignad "Severid if IMS Citizens," and contained one hundred dollars. Shortly afterward the youth who first ' begged jno to take up the case, called upon mo with all the mon ey ho could raise; but I refused his hard earnings, shqwing him that I had already becu paid. , Ueforel left town I was a guest at hU wedding my fair clieut being the happy bride.

Alluiaa and ! Bettie Jdcobs, whose descriptions were giv en. t.The telegram was. turned over to detective George O. , Miller, and that officer was on hand at the early train next morning to capture, if pos siblo, the fugitives. Uut early as he went Le was too late, and instead of seeing the runaways he met the father of the truant young lady, and from him learned who they were and why they were to bo arrested. ' rr, . sfiag jACoiiH ts k Jewess; Mr. Allinan is a Gentile. The par ties are both young tbo gentleman alxjut twenty eightand the lady about eighteen. Shortly after the clone of the war Mr. Jacobs jicre was doing buHiuess in Fairfax, Va., so was Mr. Alluiati. Tho young people met and loved, but the almost, insuperable ob jection of race interfered with the otherwise smooth current of their af fection. Mr. J., after a time, removed to Baltimore, aud Mr. A. to Alexandria, iu which respective cities they en gaged iu bu;nesH. The young ones were separated but not estranged, and they found a way by tho United States mail to keep the flame bright ly burning. On the 18th Mr. A. visited bis in amorato at her home; ou the l'J BOTH WEttE MISHINO; hetice the despatch and the visit of the old gent. On their arrival in this city tho couple repaired at once to the City Hall, interviewed Mr. Meigs, the clerk of the Supreme Court, gave him a small amount of currency, and got in return therefor the consent of the law to be "splicad." Armed wilh this document, they called on Kev. J. C. Smith, D. D., of the Fourth 1'rekbvterian church, who saw no plausible objection to their request, and in bis good naturod way tied the knot aud soul tbeni off rejoic- ng, whither, ho knew not. 15ut we know S They went, to the Continental Hotel, where they took a room. TUB JtKXT MOKX1SO the detective and the father called at tho hotel, and were informed that tho parly had been there, but had left, about an hour before in a car riage. The Alexandria, boat was then patronized, the ancient burg reached 'aud thoroughly searched, but bo trac of tho fugitives found. The father . wan disheartened, and, although he did not give up tbe search, returned to tho city, where be remained over night. During the night they got a clue to the truants, and took the first boat for Alexandria, where they arrived about seven o'clock. They proceeded immediate ly to the house where tho parties were . stopping, aud were informed that Mr. AHman waa not in, and that Mrs. A. could not be seen. The offi cer, however, informed the landlord that his companion was the father of the girl, aud that ho must see her. They were then shown up stairs, and the meeting between the sorrowing pa rent and the apostate daughter is said to have been truly affecting. As the door was opened, and she saw ber father, tho brideexclaiined, "Father, we ' are legally married, " and burst into tears. Her father, equally af fected, upbraided her for her act, and forbade her to call him father again, as she had disgraced both him and her mother. ; - '-' : - A DIALOGUE WAS CVEUIUD ON between tbe two amid their cries and sobs, which was only interrupted when the landlord declared it was attract ing too much attention and must cease. The father turned to go, and as he did so cast a fond look at his daugh ter, aud to her frantio "Good-by, fath er," said : "I will go home, put crape on my hat, and mark you on the rec ord, 'Died, September" 19th,' 1871." The scene ended ;: tbo daughter of the Jew was discarded and disgraced in the eyes of her people. Her only ref uge now is the husband sho has cho sen.

A few days ago a terrible balloon accident occurred near Paoli, Indiana, of which the following is a brief ao count: : , ' ' It appears that while two aeronauts were getting into the car, the rones nave way, and . tb?t balloon shot up- wara wun grea -veioeuy. -ne oi the two voyagers let go and fell to the earth Uninjured, but" tho other Btill; clung to s the ropes until at" a height of about a mile or moro had been reached, when he, too, let go his hold.

How the General Got out of the Army and Into it Again His Promotion Due , to Tremont, - - : . : ' New York, September 8. '"'In 1854, Lieut. TJ. S. Grant was the quartermaster of the Fourth Infantry, stationed at Vancouver's Island, on the Pacific coast. Alfred Pleasanton was lieutenant of dragoons, and Hu- fns Ingalls was the quartermaster of the post. Grant had been addicted to drink to' that extent that he hadl been several times cautioned by his friends, and be, to prevent trouble aud as a guarantee of future absti nence, placed his ! resignation in the hand . of . Colonel Buchanan, to be used in case of another disgraceful spree. Soon after this Grant went to San Francisco, and while there got on another "tear,", and overstayed his leave, being seduced by the wonder ful temptations and fascinations of the Occidental city, so noted for its won derful and accidental changes of for tune and life. When he returned to his post he found, much to his sur prise and mortification, that his dis sipation had become known and his resignation had been forwarded with such an indorsement as secured its immediate acceptance. -In due course of time, Grant became a private citi zen. He was now in a bad fix. Im pecunious and despondent, he tried to drown his sorrows in. the flowing bowl. Pleasanton and Ingalls were warm friends of "Sam." Grant, and, together they "staked" him, so as to enable him to reach the States via Panama. He proceeded to St. Louis, and there lived the life of a vagabond , of the first water, loafing about the city, alternating between tho city and old Dent's farm, several miles out of the citv. At this time Gen. William S. Ilillyer aud Gen. Kawlius were in business together, as counsellors and attorneys at law, and Grant used to make their rooms a sort of headquar ters, dropping in almost every day, and passing hours with his feet cock ed on the table or a chair, enjoying his inevitable smoke,- and no 'less pleasant chat. In this way the friend ship for Hawlins and Ilillyer became cemented, and this accounts for their selection on Grant's personal staff when he became a brigadier general. Every one knows how Dick Yates, then governor of Illinois, took him for his military secretary, and after ward gave him the colonelcy of an in subordinate regiment which had been tried by two or three colonels, who were unable to subdue their riotous and mutinous disposition. Grant soon straightened them out, and dem onstrated bis value as a disciplinarian. Being sent to the department of Mis souri, then under command of Gen. J. C. Fremont, Grant was assigned to General John Pope's command, and was the senior colonel in that army. On one occasion Pope had business away, Grant, as senior officer, was in the command. On Pope s return ho found Grant in his headquarters tent, writing and doing such business as was incident to his command. Pope with that brusqueness and discourtesy lor which he was noted, said to Grant that he wished he would do his writ ing in his own tent and not intrude himself so much at headquarters. Naturally indignant, Grant wrathfully stepped out and proceeded to tbe tent ot the sutler, with whom he was very intimate, and whoso whisky he had drunk ad libitum. To this bosom friend he poured out all his woes, and as he sipped his "Bourbon straight'" he vindictively ejaculated: " I hope I shall live to sec the day when I will ont-rank Gen. Pope!" One of his most intimate friends here was a Col. Hulburt, and he loved his; "tod" as well if not better than Grant did him self. So outrageous did; these two officers become in their ' cups, that Popo finally found it necessary to send them to St. Louis, with a recom mendation that they should be both dismissed for drunkenness. Although Mr. Lincoln had placed almost auto craclic power in the hands of General Fremont, he hesitated to dismiss them, and let their case haug on from day to day, awaiting a leisure mo ment to give tho matter bis personal attention. Meanwhile,' Grant and Hulbnrt loafed about St. Louis, neg lected, imnecunious and shabbv. danc ing attendance at headquarters every day in the hope ot a speedy Bettie ment of their difficulty. At this time the enemy were advancing upon Cope Girardeau, which ; was ; then occupied by new levies, undisciplined and un drilled, under the cemmand of Gener al. Prentiss, of Illinois. . Owing to Prentiss' want of experience, Fremont deemed it advisable to supersede him, but in the absence olojthor, more ; ex perienced officers the.r general .hardly knew whom to seloct to relieve rum While he was in this quandary a gen tleman occupying a high ofncial posi tion, in whom Fremont had great confidence, called , to see him one day As he passed tip stairs ho saw in the hall,: sittjiic on a wooden bench, Grant and Hulbnrt. Grant's red face shone over his woolen 1 shirt, dirty and tobacco-stained, i He had no col lar, hia uniform was greasy and shab by, and, altogether, he presented miserable and woe-begone appear ance. The gentleman referred to res- cognized him, and as he shook hands he asked, what he was doing there ? r Grant replied that he was in a little trouble, ,"and," said he, "I want you to heln me out." Tho difficulty was related by Grant, an d his friend said he would see 'what could be done. after which he passed upjrtairs to the presence of. the great Jrathtinaer. Durincr the eonversation, Fremont mentioned the Cape Giradean difficul ty,. and said be did not knqw who to send there. ' " I'know the "very . man vou want,' said our friend, I saw him down stairs as I came up."1 "Who is he?" inquired , Fremont-t 'l'.'VVhy, Sam. Grant; he's just, the man; send him down." Fremont called his . ad C.y Ji-7 : f 111 4 tr t , r . i f ;'! If. no; u jutant general land 'asked: him what tne circumstances of Grant! case .were, and he w-as informed.

At this time President Lincoln was determined in his opposition to the invasion of, Kentucky, even though the enemy were occupvlwr her soil and advancing upon our forces. ; He persisted in considering Kentucky as neutral ground. As the enemy ad vanced upon Grant, another , was or dered by Fremont to cufhim off from his base, while Grant was to attack him in front. -This general, instead of obeying bis orders, telegraphed them to Lincoln, who countermanded them at once.

It is that extraordinary eovernmentul policy which would errant to a few favored capitalists; engaged in certain branches of manufacture and produc tion, privileges at the expense of the great mass of the people. . It is that system of legislation which - would place such restrictions . upon , com merce as shall deny to American con sumers the pri'ileire of sunnlviu!? their wants in the easiest, cheapest and best way, and compel' them to eat, drink and wear suck .articles as the Government shall choose to desig nate. It is that system which, under the pretext of fostering tbe develop ment of domestic ; industries, creates and sustains vast and oppressive mo nopolies which prosper at the expense of all classes of the community, and which are lifted to financial prosperity by means of a burdensome and oner ous taxation, which none can escape but those who go naked and starve outof doors. It is that system which, purporting to seek the welfare of the American workingman, diverts labor from naturally remunerative - occupa tions into artificial and naturally un- prohtable industries, which enhances the cost of living in a ratio more than proportionate to the enhancement of wages, and which deprives the people of all tbe natural commercial advan tages w hich. would be enjoyed ' were the productive labor, of the country employed in selfustaining industries. It is that system which seeks to de prive tbe American people of all the advantages which would result from unrestricted commercial intercourse with other nations, and to deny them the enjoyment of th services of those best able to supply their ' manifold and increasing necessities and desires. It is that system which, failing to ac- 1- t it a . . compiisn tne ends ior which it ..was presumably devised, has paralyzed many branches of industry to stimu late a few, which has driven our com merce from the ocean, rendered us dependent upon foreign carriers, and deprived us of our former rank among the maritime nations of the world.

They' wet-e well clad in skins, and cloth made of cedar bark. They had abnndance of food, in the game which the land and water sunblied. besides roots and, berries in, ample variety. ' ' " " , '.' Ihe settlement of the fur compan ies in their midst dated the com mencement of the destruction which has come upon them so overwhelm ingly'.' Gradually, ,' disease,, with whose character they were entirely unacquainted, and vices, of which, as savages, they had heretofore been in nocent, were introduced among them. I hen followed epidemics, caused by the malaria arising from' the breaking of the ground by the whites for agri cultural purposes. In the year 1829. five years subsequent to the settle ment of. Vancouver by the Hudson Bay Company, 30,000 natives were estimated to have died from malarial fever in the Columbia river and Wil lamette valleys, west of the Cascade Mountains. , . . Tbe Indians understood nothing of the cause or treatment of tbe disease; and, although' the gentlemen at the . Fort did all tbey could to save life. yet with such numbers needing as sistance, and with the native . igno rance and superstition against them, very little, comparatively, could bo effected.. From this period on. the Indians of Oregon- have dacimated with astouishing rapidity. " Well may they say that thej are like the sun that melts from the hillside, while the whites who replace them are like the grass that follows the melting of the enow. In 1832, when Nathaniel Wyeth vis ited Oregon, with tbe view of estab lishing a salmon fishery on the Co lumbia, he . built an establishment which he named Fort "William,, on Wappatoo. or SaUvie s Island, on the side bounded bythe lower Willamette river. ; Both the island and the Oppo site shore of the main land are fertile and beautiful,' made richly s product ive by the annual overflow of the Co lumbia,. -The islaud was especially prized by the Indians 'on account of a root cajled icappaloo, which grows in great abundance on it, and is high ly esteemed by. them for food. In 1832, Wyeth found some villages bor dering on this portion of the Willam ette that still numbered a; thousand warriors. Estimating that there was one warrior to a family of five, it will be seen how populous must have been ' thi portion of western Oregon.-J 1 And populous as it then wa3,it was desolate to what it bad been ten years before . All along those fertile shores were' abandoned villages . So close together " were they that a rifle ball might have been shot from one into the other, and they were built. of huts three or more tiers deep. When Wyeth saw them, only. the bones of the v'ctimsof the pestilence were to be found in these deserted-habitations. .There is little , hope for the paleontologists who are looking: for the bones of prer Adamite man,; when a lapse of forty .years had effectually effaced all traces of the thousands of skeletons that lined the river banks of Oregonr' just previous to its" colo nization bv American settlers. ,f 7 I The ad rent among the Indians of missionaries, ' in 1835, did not im prove their condition. "''Of the few who could be induced to altar their nomadic habits, nearly all died. The children and young, persons taken into the mission school, although they displayed an aptitude for learn ing, and even seemed to comprehend the vital truths of Christianity,' per ished like wild wood flowers 6etin the sunny parterres of a garden. The cause's are evident: change of diet, change of dress, and malarial poisons from the upturned- sods of the mis sion farm. . The ; missionaries them selves suffered much from intermit tent fever and chills ; but the diseaso proved fatal to the Indians, while the white men s constitutions were able to throw it off, By this time, too, a worse than malarial poison was work ing in the veins of the natives, result ing from their intercourse with a vic ious class of men the dregs of white races floated to. these shores, by chance, in trading 'ships, or seeking here adventures -more exciting than civilized, countries "afforded."- From these causes to which maybe added the deprivation of their old means of abundant subsistence, and natural habits and recreation the Oregon Indians have been reduced from many to fewt:: , :..) .' i ':': v--;' - The Advantages of Bzixo Pooa.
