The Cairo correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, indites the following bit of romance : NV.o learn from a gentleman lately.from Morgnnzu, Louisiana, that there: i.s now being tried ' , .1 i 1 I -i i / i % o? iii. uint pinoe, ?y court martini, u young omeor, attached ns Adjutant to a Now York regiment, charged with attempting to betray his men into an ambuscade and desert to the enemy.-? It seems that the unfortunate.young man became enamored of a young-lady, the daughter of-a wealthy fumily, residing not far from the t const,''and that, desiring to make her his wile; ho proposed and u as accepted, on conditions that he would betray his command to a Con federate force to he conveniently ambushed, he deserting to the enemy, \tho; it was also stipulated, would give him; a* commission in the rebel service. ? In an ill-starred moment the.unfortunate man degraded himself and accepted the proposition. He consented to the betrayal of the comrades, even unto death, with whom ho had fought, and bj- whom he was regarded jis an honorable and brave; soldi,er, and who looked to him for the.diiithfu) 'discharge of ail the duties'.of the positi.hu he had Ueen'pbiced in bv his " CJovcniincnl. Accordingly, plans were laid, and the uwiviii.iiiiiviui VTI IIm; Hi I ?l HJ IWI v,r.*i UUiU UJf communicated with. A propo: pretext given, on the day appointed, the whole force at Morganza was inarched up in searcji of the eiiemy^ who, it had been asserted, had been depredating upon the neighboring plantations to a degree destructive of the interests of the planters, who were, by the nuerillas, interdicted from raising if crop. However, before they had gone far in tlu way, the colonel commanding, from the. awkwardness.of the traitor, suspecting that sill v.;n not right, halted the column, and posting pick ets securely, immediately commenced an in vestigation, which culminated in the cuidVs-.io'i of a sergeant of one of the companies, who hs< been entrusted with the secret bv the Adju tant. The (ieiicrnJ thereupon marched hi men back to quarters, and promptly ordered : court-martial for the trial of the ofiiceiy who there is little doubt, will be covieted, and o course shot. If this docs not smack at the r.? mance of war, nothing that we hare heard o the past four years can he sO accounted.
