Some days since we saw a statement that a young woman, named Ellen G rey, who lives in Washington eounty, between Fort Edward and Sandy Hill, had fallen heir to an immense fortune in England. But thinking that the ■statement would prove to be a canard, as such statements usually are, we took o o notice o f it. W e have since learned, however, from reliable sources, some facts in regard to this romantic case, which, in connection with the reported magnitude of the bequest, deserve to be repeated. Our informant states that some years since a young Englishman, while traveling in this country, became acquainted wkh and enamored o f Miss -Grey, who was then and has since been engaged in working at the trade o f a milliner. The parties were, we believe, engaged to be married, but, without consummating the engagement by mar riage, the gentleman returned to Eng land. Soon after, by the death o f rel atives, he inherited an immense estate, valued at the enormous sum o f seven teen million dollars. He lived but a short time to enjoy his vast possessions and dying, bequeathed them to his be» trothed. The natural heirs contested the will, but recent advice« 9tate that it has been sustained by the courts. In August last the fortunate heiress had made preparations to visit England in company with Dr. Little, a promi nent resident o f Fort Edward, for the purpose of looking after her pecuniary interests, but just before the time ap pointed for starting she received advi ces to the effect that her businoss mat ters had been satisfactorily adjusted, and that the sum o f five millions o f dollars would be sent to her in De cember, and the balance as soon there after as possible. This information prevented the contemplated visit. Miss G rey is about thirty years o f age, and is spoken o f as a lady o f good sense and refinement.— Madison (N . Y .) Observer NTBGROISM. P r o v e r b s . — Do “ Clerk,” said a tall Kentuckian to a hotel official, “ this young woman and me have eloped. Have you any mar rying faculti.es around here ? ” The clerk replied in the affirmative, and the two were spliced in less than an hour. The bridegroom was evi dently not yet satisfied, and lingered around the hotel book. “ Clerk,” said he, confidentially, at length, “ hadn’t you better change the register and give us one room, now we’re married ?” “ It’s alroady done,” replied the clerk, “ you’ re marked for the same room.” W all, clerk,” replied the K entuck ian, quiokly, “ won’ t yon just show me up, tnen, for I ’ m awful sleepy. I t is instructive to review the pro gress of the Abolitionists. B y doing this, their original design o f proceeding cautiously, step by step, to the accom plishment, finally, o f thorough negro equality, socially and politically, is fully revealed. Their final purpose, at the outset, when they set up the high moral intent o f delivering the slave from the necessity o f cumpuTsory labor, was concealed from view, that they might tho more easily enlist men in a cause that involved breach o f faith to States Mid breaking the bonds o f our Federal Union. The first step was to excite sectional hatred;— the next was to form a geographical p a rty; then came disunion and civil war; and now the undisguised demand for absolute equality, more level and intimate than ever before praotiecd among the differ ent orders of white society. An ex change describes this downward march as follow s: Those who started the Abolition cru sade had but one idea, and that was the complete political and social equality of the races. This was the ground-work o f their philosophy. But knowing the unpopularity o f this view, it was con cealed from public sight as far as possi ble. There was no connection, we were told, between emancipation and social and political freedom. But no sooner was the first obtained, through the blood o f a million o f whites and the e x penditure o f more than gix thousand millions o f treasure, than the disguise began to be thrown off. The next ob jective point was negro voting. B e yond was negro eligibility to office. That attained, and then social amal ga m ation -n eg ro in the trades— negro in the professions— negro at the first table at the hotels— negro in the white man’s parlor— negro bridegroom to white bride, and vice versa was the great denouement o f it all. W hile the farsighted saw this, to many o f the dupes it is a matter o f astonishment. They little suspected the amount of the negro stock they were taking when they first went into the enterprise. Little by little they were led on until, appar ently by the logic o f necessity, they found themselves at a point from which they would have recoiled in horror a few years ago. W e submit that it is about time for them to drop this agitation and allow the country to attend to its own legiti mate business, from which it has been so long diverted, and to once more erect the high wall o f division between the races, politically and socially. Do not lose faith in hu man excellence, because your confi dence has been sometimes betrayed, nor believe that friendship is only a delus ion, and love a bright phantom which glides away from your grasp. Do not think that you are fated to be miser able beeause you are disappointed in your expectations and baffled in your pursuits Let no chilling influence freeze to the fountain o f sympathy and happiness in its depths ; no c o ll bur den settle over your heart’s hopes like snow on the faded flowers, no rude blasts o f discontent mar and shriek through its desolate chambers.
