I THROUGH FIRE; OR, AT HOME AND ABROA BY JASPER CLEVELAND. CONTINUED. . As we were driving through the street) the city we were about leaving, I saw fr the carriage window, the magnificent eqt age of Athlene Monilli. She was lean back among the cushions, and opposite sat a thin, pale man, the sight of whose { seDt the blood in quick bounds to my hei Had I not known that my lover was deac should have thought it was he. Ho v looking in an opposite directiou, and did i look at us until we were nearly out of sig I saw him lean forward in the carriage, a to obtain a better view of some one in < carriage, and then we were out or sight., "How pale you are, Agues!'' taid Arth " Are yon ill ?" he added. " No, but the sight of a face ia that c? riage, brought to my mind the terrible see of the fire, and it startled me. I am beti now," I replied, drawing a full breath. " You must tell me tho story, some dr. sister Aggie." u Yes. After we are settled in our new hon I will tell you all about it," I answered. We were now at the station, and befe sunset, had reached our hotel, where root had been engaged for an indefinite peric Arthur was quite exhausted, and was ct ried to his room to rest, before we shou partake of refreshments. The rooms coi manded a lovely view of thc bay, and ti fresh breeze seemed to revive the wea frame. Drawing his lounge to the open wi dow, I drew up the blind, and said : "You shall rest now, brother Artku;,ani the glorious beams of our common sun, whi< is uowhere so glorious as in beautiful Ital The cool breeze from thc bay shall fan yoi brow, and the mountain scenery bevon gladden your eyes, while I leav;: you to a tend to other duties." "Sta}'with me, Aggie," he pleaded wil the tone of a tired child. u There is notbin in the world 30 beautiful as yo-jr face, not! ing so soothing as your voice. J find all rr, happiness in your dear presence Lay yet hand in mine, and talk to me.'' He clasped my hand, and closing his eye lay lor some time motionless. My heart gre sad as I looked upon the hollow cheek an eye, the lofty, white brow, and clastcrin chestnut curls shading it, for I saw that dent had set his seal upon that face, and at no di: tant day would come to claim him. I cou! but think of his noble kindness of heart, t me, a poor, friendless orphan, his clingiup trusting nature, almost womanly, in his weal ness, and, although my lover had not beeu dcai two mouth-, I felt it to be no outrage of ou love, or promise, that I pitied the friend befor me, who mu?t dis so young, lie was twenty two, although he looked still younger. Fi nally his hand relaxed its clasp, and I sav that he was asiccp. Without laking oneioti from the love of my dead idol, I bent ove? thc sleeping form of :zy friend) and kissee his brow, softly murmuring, " Would that 1 could die for you." ' It seemed so sad that b< must die, while I, who had nothing to liv? for, lived cn. But God's ways are bcttei than man's ways. As I bent over Arthur, ] saw a faint flush steal to his check, while bi] eyelids quivered. I knew that he had knowr of my caress, ""bile I thought bim sleeping knew that he hud heard my low words ? bul I was also aware of his quick perception o motive, and was not asham .d, that in.mj great pity for him, I had kissed him. He dv. not unclose his eyes, and I stole from thc room, to assist Mrs. Mayland to unpack thc necessary articles for our immediate use. J found her busily engaged, apparently uncon scious of the swift decay of her idolized son ?he said, without looking up, a How is Arthur ? 1 suppose he is resting I am glad you remained with him, for il has given me so much time to unpack. I do nol knowhow I should manage without you Arthur is no trouble at all since you came, You must remain with us always. See ! wil' you? This grenadine ?3 ruined, it will never be smooth again. I hope great benefit from this delicious air. Dear Arthur! Just you come with me Agnes, and see your room. Il is a perfect gem. Lsbouid have selected that for myself, only that I wich to sleep near Ar .thur. Your room opens on one side of mine, Arthur's on the other, while the parlor is ai -tho-end, aud to-be-reached from either room, Now isn't that grand ? And scch elegant carpets; and lur'niture? Almost equal to anjr tbin.r wo have at home." With a sad thought of the wasting form ol poor Arthur, I answered ber light talk, and she continued; . " You must now change your dress, and re turn to- Arthur, while I got a little imp, before tea, my dear." 1 bathed in pure cold water, and brushed out my curls, changed my travelling dress for a light evening robe, and entered the parlor, from my own room. Arthur was not there, but came in shortly afterwards, having been refreshed by a bath, and a change of apparel. He came to the-window where 1 was stand ing, to enjoy the lovely Italian sunset, and taking my hand, ??id. " Sister Aggio, is not this lovely ?'.' " Lorely indeed," I replied. u It seems to me, 7 he continued, in a dreamy sort of way, "that I shall never be hold the sun set behind my native hills." There was a shade of sadness in bis voice, that brought tears to my eyes,, and I answered : "I sincerely hope you n ay see man}' years of sunset, dear friecd. Ve: if God orders otherwise, you know there !. a Heaven of endless clay." And as thc earth grows dim, Heaven seems brighter. I would that you were go ing with rue, Aggie;" he answered, reverently: "So do I, Afinar, foi I should meet my loved ones there." " Will you tell me the story of the fire, to-' night?" he asked. - " If you wish it," I answered. " I do ; after tea, it will be moonlight to night, we ban sit by this opan window, and enjoy tue Vceuecy. 31 other witl be dozing in a cosey comer, r-nd you. and I, sister Aggie, will talk of otho- days." ''.Your mother will bc ber-c soon ; IJiear her moving in her room." Even while I spoke, she entered the parlor. u Well, I declare ! ypu look quite lover . like," she exclaimed, gaily; then added,_" I am balf-famiihcd ; shall, I .ring for tea, Arthu?" [QI If YOU please," he answered, lookingvto ward the mountains. ;^ Toa wan soc* served;, and wc werBjsitting over the table, when the servant entered to take away the things. At this hint we all arose, and Hr3. Mayland said : " I am quite tired out. You must want to lie down, Arthur, I will fix your pillows, and then 8ett^,|B^e^for.Tr6?prtjnap,- whilo A? nes sits hy you.""^ u Agnes will arrange my pillows," he said. I bad always done so lately, and he fancied that I could suit him betlcr than any'other. I drew the lounge where thc night air would , not blow op bim, and throwing a lijrht shawl over him, drew an ottoman to his sidewind , in low tones related to.him all. the storyrof my bcreavemert, and the subsequent events, until roy arrival at tho hotel, in 8eareh pf Mrs. We??ord. He listened to my recital with much interest, and at its close Raid : " I am glad that fate threw you in our way. You shall never leave ns, while I live, aird .at ray death I wiri .make provision yeti. I have a large fortune in my own ri I s'hall leave all to you, sister Aggie. , mother dogs not need it, for she is as ric myself. I have no brothers or sisters, ?have been a sister to ree. and as my si .Bball inherit my wealth. I am sorry that have loved another, dear sister, or I w ask you to love me, and lie my wife. As we will be the dearest of friends, will we u . I answered, with a voice trembling i emotion, " I will always love you as a si would love a dear brother, Arthur, I cai no more, for the one wild love of my which I must give my husband, is buried '\ .my unknown lover; Is'.it.nof strange th should love, and bc betrothed to a man wi name I know not?" It is strange, indeed;" be answered, after that there was silence until Mrs. M land arose, and shaking out her flounces ribbons, said.it was time to retire. She g to each .of us a lighted taper, remarking t the gas was not safe to be used in a sleepi room. Arthur kissed his mother's hand he bade her good-night, ar.d taking my hi said, " good night, sister Aggie," bent dc and kissed my cheek. I returned the " go Dight," and hastened to my chamber, knelt down and prayed to the Father of ll cits to restore the dear "life that was fast bing away. Prayed that P might be tal instead and he spared to life and happint Blind human eyes ! We pray for God alter his decree of wisdom, to suit our vie forgetting that He can never err. Yet pra elevates tbe mind, even thdugb it brings answer. No prayer ever ascended to Hea? but some soul was bone-fitted by it: The si that gave it birth. After Athlene Monilii had seen Agnes M ton, safely away from her doors, she returr to her own room, muttering. H Thank God, that she is removed from i mind. She lay there like a nightmare. S may work for her bread now ; what care if she bas been rear*d in idle luxury? s bas dared to love m^ idol, and I must be : venged. Ob, Clif'on ?.would I could g? your lovo. No sacrifice would be count too great, no test too strong. Love m love me ! or I dip.'' The passionate woman sank upon a cha overcome by the violence of her emoiioi Presently she arose, and left tho' room. Ca tiously there crept from behind a large serge the crooked form of Lorraine, the dwarf. 1 listened at the door before venturing into t passage, end muttered below bis breath, " 1 can read the mystery uow.

She is a linc mate for him and he stole fi'-im the room, to thc little dc lie called his studio. There was a stranr mixture of-artist and bungler here.

Ile threw the bair into the box with at oath ; then withdrew "it, and Winding thi curls about bis bony fingers, caressed them and muttered : " How I loved you, Lerra!

Ila ! ha ! ha ! The walli echoed" the'laiigh with hoilow sound, and th< dwarf thrust tue skull into the box, and shui the lid with an onth, then-be drew' the cor ering frrm a painting. It was the portrait o a woman very much like -Athlone. It mighl have been her mother. You would have scarcely known the voice of-the dwarf, it wa: so low and sweet, a;: bc murmured : " I loved yon wh?n I painted this," he cov ered it quickly, and toro the covering fron another, growling : ' ' " I hated you when this was done," thor covered it again, and commenced drumming upon thc-broken harps. ?tbienc went to her patient's room, and filled the vases with fresh'flowers, re-nrrarrg cd the drapery of the windows, and sat be side the conch, in the low, easy chair. She i saug-sweet, passionate Fongs of Italian love j and despair, throwing soul.into the song. J . Clifton listened in breathless admiration ' Ho was a passionate lpvor of music, and Ath j loue was perfection in thc art. After that hf . often asked ber to sing to bim, and the hours ' passed more pleasantly away. When he bad sufficiently recovered to ride, he asked'Ath j k-noto take him to Agnes' grave. Sho bad ! told him that i>he bad Eought those who bad j claimed the body cf bis lost one, and found ber grave. With sad heart, he entered th? : I carnage, in company with Athlene, and x near the burial place, had been startled r a glimpse of a (ace, so like that of Ac . that his heart grew faint with hope, for ai [ slant. Then tho impossibility of the li Agnes forced itself upon him, and he i [ back into his seat. He looked- upon a [ made grave, placedl a pot of violets at head, and on- the way homo ordored a cc ! stone to be placed upon tho grave. A , night afterward, he anuounced his inlen . to depart in a few days. The evening be , his departure he was surprised by tho vis a little dwarf to his room, who beckoned to follow him. Filled with curiosity, : obeyed, and the ' dwarf took him at once ? his-den. Here ho whispered to him of falsehood cf Athlene. Ile told him that A{ still lived... "Swear that you speak thc truth," ci Clifton. The dwarf opened the tin box, and p ing his hand upon the skull, said, u I sw it." " Where is she ?" eagerly asked Clifton. " That I cannot tell," -replied" the' dw t: I only kuqw that a young girl was brou to this place insensible, ou the night of burning of the Hotel Grande. At firs thought you were both dead, but sho rec ereifirat, and Athlene, telling her that ?j were dead, sent her away, broken-heart She will probably tell you that I am a dwi but I was your only physician, during y< unconscious hours." " This is strange r I must seek Athle and obtain a confession from, her," a thanking the old. mau for bis ki?d in fore tion, he-threw him a handful of gold. 1 dwarf gathered it up, and as Clifton left -1 apartment he muttered. " This is not the first handful of gold have taken for revenge, he tossed it into t box with thc skull, and laughed as it j gled upon the box, and against the sides of t box. Clifton went slowly ' 'ho garden wh( he had seen Athlene w .mg a few momer previous to leaving his room with the dva She was still there, arid he asked her foi few moments' conversation. Meanwhile the affianced of the beautil Italian had come to the street door of I chateau, and the dwarf had admitted hil Loading him to a side door, he pointed to tl garden, where Clifton was leadiug Athlei io a seat in a vine covered grotto. With s teeth, the Count stole to the outside of tl grotto, where he could hear tho conversant between his affianced and the stranger. Tl first words he heard were these : -11 If you have sent Agnes away, Athlen ignorant of my life, and presence here, yt ought in justice, to inform me where she now." " I cannot do that. In all probability si has returned to the United states. She lost-to you tit all events. Forget her, ar accept my love. She could never dream i loving you as I do. Her nature is too colt too Weak! She is but a child of seventeei I am a woman of twenty-two. She is- n mate fur your intellectual miud. She coul not understood the depth of your love, shoul you devoto your life to her me mor}'. Tait me with you, Clifton j dear, denr, Clifton I shall die if you ?eave me here," Athlone ar swered. Thc slender hajids wore clasped convulsivt ly, and.-tho. beautiful lace iffJUte with erac tion. Clifton gently disengaged"''h is Kari from the clasp, with which she seized it, a he arose to his feet, and s:?id, gently: , "Athlene! you have befriended mc who I was ill, and in danger. For that I can foi give ami lespect you. But I cannot love yoi I am truly sorry that you have entertainc this unfortunate passion. It grieves me mor tija?! I can tell. Yet pity is not love, and feel only pity for you. AYill you help mc t find A^ues.?" Athlene's f.ice grew even paler than b;forc as she replied in a strangely altered voice. " Help yo'i to find Agnes Morton, that yoi may give to her tLe love for which I woul?. peril my soul ! Xever,! The hate of an Ital ian woman is stronger thal) her love, and he love is stronger tuan lifo, or death, or Un griive ; I hate you now ! J will haunt you life with my presence.

Forget that'you have* beeb tho idol ol the he.irt of one of its proudest daughters! ] will bring memory to you." T'ie angry woman looked the personifica' tion of some demon of angry love. H?r white fair arm was extendctfcand she p-inted sec rn tully across tho intervening space, na if sin could already see thc home to which alic hat ordered. Clifton. Ile was pale, but spoke kindly. M Athlene I am sorry lo part with you in this mood." She deigned him no answer, aud ho slowly returned to thc house. No sooner was he out of hearing, tim the dark-faced man, con cealed in the shrubbery came forth, lit seized Athlone by thc waist and hissed be tween his set teeth : " Beautiful fiend! I know all. How eau a Mqnilli stoop to confess love to a base born Amcrican.dog 7-To sue for his notice ?-And my betrothed bride. 1 scorn you, I will not stoop ta take your life, now that you have de scended to that."' And he flung her rudely from him. " Clifton Seymour is as high born ns your self, and one of God's noblemen. You are ncl Z\ to be his slave. Never hope to see me af;ain, I will have no more to io with you,'' retorted Athlene. " I aiu of thc samo miud," he growled, as he turned to depart. Athleno remained in tho grotto, until she had somewhat calmed her excited feelings ; then arose, and hastened to her room, v< cere she remained until morning. When she avfoko it was broad day. :She hastily made her toi let, and went to the room occupied by Clifton. Sho rapped twice, but received no answer. Opening the door, Bhe found that thc room had not been occupied during the night.. On tue marble table lay a'folded paper. It con tained a large sum of money, and a note say ing, briefly, that Clifton Seymour had resolved to remain no longer under the roof where his preseuce1 had wrought so much misery. Begged of Athlone to accept tho money, as a slight recompense for her trouble, aud asked her, as slip ioved him, to tell him of Agnes, by letter to his hotel, w^ich he designated, and where he would remain thrco days, awiit ing her answer. She immediately enclosed the money in an envelope, directed it to his address, and cal line the dwarf, ^'.patched him with it, bid di^ '-' uo word to Clifton, but giving him the envelope', return immediately. The dwarf left the house with the package, and Guding Clifton in .his room, delivered it, and left without a word, as he bad been or dered. ?*' With heart fluttering between hope and dread, Clifton broke the-seal. Nothing but thc notes he had left at tbe house of Athlone. There was no hope that she would relent, and two days after, he left tho city to commenco , tho weary search for his lost Agues. He had, meanwhile, secured thc portraits of tho Mer ; ton family, and after seeing thom safely packed, Rbinpei them for home, while he re . mained in Italy, searching in every place where he thought there was the slightest pos j1 sibility ol' meeting with. Agnes. Ho eveu [ j went to the very hotel where . Agnes was i1 staying, and examining the booka read tho "Hr name ??" Mrs. Mayland, son, and<daugh without* thought he was so near his 1 one. "Vf Uh a heavy heart he went aws continu? the search. Athlete waited long for the return of dwarf,-7ot he carne not. She went ti rojm, and findiDg the door unlocked, ente Sitting^byer a crucible, in which was s faintly odorous compound, be barely lo< np at her approach, and continued to wi the seething contents of the crucible, woman.-pame near to him and'laying her hand upon his shoulder, said, ' I wish to with yOfi, Lorraine." WitBont a word tbe dwarf arose, and tal the-crocjblc from the fire, emptied tho < tents-into a large glass jar, and fastening lid, covered it with sealing wax. This d< he turrijPd to Athlone, saying: .'" Oniispoonful of this liquid applied to flesh om. human body, would cause deatl five ruautes." "Itjwust be powerful," she answered. ha Indeed it is, fair Athlene ; but thc bea of it i?&o one could tell the cause of a \ son's dj&tli, who had died from the appli tion orak After the pores of the skin h: traueuated the poison to the blood, it spe( ly assumes its natural appearance, and ai i an houri is as smooth as ever."

Tho youth listened wit amaze roent that one so beautiful, so like a angel] ^should entertain such a dreadfi t'auugwj yet he loved ber, and love is blinc He Iii S never done any human being a wron? yet fbjrtbo sake of the woman he loved, b WM ijeftdy to take lifo, even, if she asked i 'Db I bid you, and name your reward,' sb ? hissed. Her face was close to his owr j- 5jj^h^).ppri bis cheek, ber fair hand ba fallon'opon his ugly" one, anTlTwj?s"'like ict Grown bold with her words and his passior bc answered, 1 if I do this thing, your lov shall be my reward.' Instead of smiting doa the presumptuous youth, she leaned her tai head upon his bosom, and wnispeicd, 1 Yoi shall have it.' The only joy that ever bright ened the life of the deformed, came in tba hour. Her beautiful hair, curling and gloss; aa your own, swept across his breast, and be cheek rested there. Kc smoothed the gloss hair with a lovers tenderness, and a3 shi lifted her fair face, he touched her cheek wi M his lips. Thc touch was madness, and b< swooned. In a few moments fce recovered and asked of thc woman the name and resi dence ot' her whom ho was to deprive of life She told him, and he set about preparing ? compound similar to that in the glass jar, nm before morning thc lovely English iady wa dead. He had entered her sleeping-roon without awaking her, and upou the whiti shoulders thal lay uncovered in ibo moonlight he poured the mixture grown warm from be iug acid in his band in tbe vial. She sl?p on, and un thc morrow, there came a messen ger io thc l?i'i?o o? bis master, with thc sad news of thc sudden death of file fair cou3?r of bis adored. After that he waited long fo: the coming of the beautiful lady of bis bob love. lint she came not, and a month later she was married lo Antoine Monilli, and pooi Lorraine bad naught to do.but plan revenge lie sought the bride, and bade her install hi?:i as a servant in her house. She dared not re fuse, and ho went. lu a year a child'wat boru to them. The father worshipped it, anil no less did the mather; wbrr. it became three years of age, it died suddenly. Another, wa- born, and on its third birthday, it tot died ; and so on, uni il four were born, and died. Then the father died suddenly, and (he guilty woman spol. .: 'Lorraine, you have murdered all my loved ones but one. Spare me, and go away.' ' Dare you reproach mc ?' ha answered, 'Give me but the love for which I sold my soul, and I will relent.' . Theil her scorn and anger burst forth, 'Poor, miserable fool 1 Did you not know that you were bu tthe instrument in my hands to re raovo from my path one who was wioning from me the love of my life? Thc hours of happiness I have known with my dead An toine, folly repay me fur all the sorrow you have caused me. Yet, I ask yu to spare my only remaining child, my Athlene." ? " And I spsred thc child," continued the dwarf, "yet I still had a vengeance to exe cute. With alov.',-sure poison i undermined thc life of the still beautiful woman, and she knew that she was dyiug.. Even then, I threatened to expose her, if.-she refused to grant mea life-lease of a,home in her house. I t&ld her I would proclaim to the world where she had ever been known as a model woman, that she bad been my mistress. To oppose me, she gave thc required writings, and the next day I saw her lifeless form. "Alter she bad been laid in the family tomb in state. I took the k-ys of the vault, and . taking her body from the collin bore it in to, my room. I dissected it. Thc head I re tained. "Look!" and Lorraino opened the lin box, and the skull rolled across the floor. He drew out tile beautiful wealth of black hair, and winding it about bis fingers, swept it across his face. Athlene did not shriek or faint ; she calmly asked : " And you promise to try this poison on Agnes Merton ?" I " Dare you brave the result ? Blood calls .for blood." 111 dare'anything," she answered, reckless ly, " You liavo lived for revenge ; allow me "thc same privilege." "Ali, Athlene! Revenge is a poor thing I to' live for; it makes a demon of the soul that fosters it. Yet, if you wish it, I swear to take the life of Agnes Merton, on conditions." : "I care not what you* conditions may bel J insist." ' ? r ' j 41 Well, Iheu; tho conditions are those : I wir kill her by the application of this liquid. I ..".?ar it! She shall, die; but you shall never witness her death, nor hear of it; for you shall dife, first," and before she compre hended his intention, he had seized her about thc waist and dragged her to the opposite sido of the roonij where shone his dissectidg i kuive? inferrible nrray. | Even thcnr the un I conquerable Athlcuo retained her presence of mind. As he swept bor swiftly by tbe stool on which he had left the jar of liquid, she grasped it with both hands and quick as a flash of lightning, tearing the wax from tho cover, poured half, the contents upon the feet of the dwarf. Intent upon taking her life, the demon had failed to notice her movement, and the first intimation he received of the fatal act, was the burning of the liquid through the thin texture of his stockings. ' "With a howl of pain, ha loosened his bold on Athlone, and fell to the floor in terrible agony. A teaspoon .ful of it would have caused a painless death ; but a half-pint of it caused unutterable agony. His slippers were -filled with it, and he writhed and groaned, and at last lay quiet. Athlene stood by, and watched the dying agony of the dwarf, and when all was still, she approached the body to obtain a key from i the pocket of the loose sacque. As she par tially turned the bodv, to enable her to reach the pocket, she said, bitterly: " You spared my life to avengo , those of your victims." The dwarf sprang up in a moment, crying: " Who says 1 avenge ?' Ah, Ath?ene 1 Athlene 1 He grasped her dress; his bony fingers clutched her arm, and be dragged her to the floor, and tearing from her proud head, a handful ot dark hair, he fell bu.k dead 1 Athlene disengaged ber dress from his death-clasp, and moved to the other side of the room. The key of the door was yet in the dwarfs pocket, and she feared to attempt to obtain possession of it, lest he should again revive upoD being moved. After awhile she ventured to make the ef fort. First moving the body with a long stick, she lound that he ily dead, and then hastened to obtain possession of the key. She locked the dour upon the outside, and went to her room, until nightfall, when, incredible as it may seem, she returned to tbe room, and dragged the body to tb? back staircase, where she allowed it to fall to >htt roora below. As there were no servants is that, part of the bouse, slip felt uo fear of detection, and by great exertion, she succeeded in dragging it to the edge of a puol, a short distance from thc house, where she pushed him .'n. Thc body waa found shortly a'ter, but as lhere were no marks of violence upon it, nil who knew anything ot the affair, suppose . la bad fallen into the pond accidentally und was drowned. After disposing of the body, Athlene re paired again to the room of the dwarf, and carefully securing thc remaining portion of the mixture iu the jar, bottled, and sealed it, thiukintr that it might serve her at some fu ture time. Severing a curl of the beautiful hair of her dead mother, she locked the doors for the time ; but shortly after had them re moved, a.nd the spaces Ulled with nias nry. The room was thus inaccessible, and her se-' cret was'safe. In a few weeks she had sold her estates, collected her wealth, and left thc city in pursuit nee uf her plans. To HE CONTINUED. THE FOURTEENTH ARTICLE.-The Republi cans of Congress hold that the constitutional amendment, upon which they swept tho coun try iu the Slate elections of 18C?, known as article fourteen, has been duly ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the States repre sent in the General Government. In each house, we believe, thc subject is in thc bands of the Judiciary Committee, with authority -?F?report t h rrrn r i fr nut ian ??J lui jirxflfjvj for^ tary of State, Mr. Soward, basnot proclaimed the ratification, because he bolds, with Presi dent Jo anson, that the endorsement of three fourths of all thc States inside and outside of Congress is necessary.

WESTERN IMMIGRATION.-We learn that Governor Fletcher is .now in New York ar ranging a basia of general co-operation with all thc cities of the Eastern Slates, to facili aie thi emigration to Missouri of thc unem ployed and persousof small means, by which the surplus labor of the East is . to JC trans ferred to the grain fields of the TV cst. I* is probable that in furtherance of thi. object thc Governor will visit all of the .principal cities and (owns of the East. The subject is a pmctical embodiment of tho most philanthropic ideas, and many of the thinking and acting mea of thc East ate taking hohl of it. Governor Fletcher's descriptions of the free and iudependeut homes for thc laboring men aud nipn of small means which Mis3ouri affords are waking up the liveliest interest among the working men of the East, and Will bring to our broad, uncultivated acres the labor which alone is wanting to our pros perity as A State.

The Paris cirretipondent of the Star of Belgium, a paper prohibited tn Fra.nce, men tions the following bit of gossip in regard to Napoleon's policy toward the United States: . " There is a curious story afloat here about the Cause which led the Emperor to pursue such a very . conciliatory policy toward the United States after the Washington Cabinet had taught him so di>agreeable a tewon in the Mexican business-a lesson which still rankles in Napoleon's breast. But he conceals bis rancor, it is said here by the gossips, because Madame Blancard, the Lenormajld of our times, predicted to the Empress Eugenie, about a year airo, that there would soon be a war between France and the United States, and that the Emperor would lose his throne, and finally his life, in eonsequerco of this wr.r. Eugenie, a very superstitious woman, it is well known, consults Madame Blancard very often, and the above mentioned predic tion is said to have made such an impression upon ber thal she urged the - Emperor very strongly to leave nothing undone in order to conciliate the American Government.'

TREASON IN THE CAMP-The Charleston correspondent of Forney's Washington Chron icle is very unhappy about the " disloyaUy" prevalent in Charlesion, which he indig nantly tells us has even contaminated the army officers stationed there : He says : All arc not loyal men that wear thc uni form of American soldiers even. Good din ners, champagne suppers, " mock turtle soup," frequent whiskey trtats, are all that is neces sary to cover up the allegiance of shoulder strapped pensioners of the republic. South .ern air, hospitality, and women are too fre quently disastrous to the sentiments of devo tion which the liveried, servants of the nation are supposed to bear. This is siocking ; Jout still mere horrible is the discovery which he narrates as follows : The Ku-Klux-Klan have established their u dens," and are meeting on the " 85th" hour to conjure up their devilish work audm issue forth their cabali?tic cards of blood. What they cannct accomplish on the field, in the forum, by argument or sense, they propose to achieve by dark deeds of stra Vgy, stealth and assassination.

[From the Columbia (S. C.J i*homx.j The Remarks of Governor Orr. During the recent meeting of the ^:t>ck holders of the Greenville and Columbi i Bail Road, a political passage-at-arms occurred between Colonel Aiken, of Abbevi?? and Governor Orr, which we desire to i 'ice. Governor Orr haring speculated somc-w! \t in relation to tho probable action of the i: .-urn ing Legislature upon the fortunes ot the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road, Co oriel Aiken chose to allude in unmeasured < -rms to the character and pretensions of tba; ' < dy. In reply, the Governor, we regret to ??ai. af ter discussing the business point involved, put himself forward somewhat as t i:? defen der and apologist of that Legislature soon to misrepresent this State. His Iang:.! ;^ was bold, and if our comments partake of the same spirit, it will be acknowledged that we have not provoked the ferae. The Governor "aid, in effect, that the gentleman from Ah beville migbt join is tho current denunciador of th* Radical Convention-might sneer af " the great riugecl-streaked-striped-and-speck led," and all of thal. But he would tell the gentleman from Abbeville, that the Acts of this Convention were the law of the land, and would remain so for three, yea, perhaps for ten yean)-that the gentleman might scorn to obey, but that the Convention had the power, and ho and all would have to obey -that there were some things in that Consti tution that ho did not approve ; bat that therci were other;; that he did approve ; and in conclusion, th?.t it was for tho gentleman from Abbeville to consider whether his conrse was calculated to remove the fefibrs from off our limbs. In his opinion, opposition and de nunciation would serve but to rivet them the more fimly-and hence, as we presume, hi Excellency would suggest to the gentlema that it becomes him and us to be as gentle as doveu and as mild as Iambs. Upon these remarks of Governor Orr, e.i pubi c journalist as a sentinel on the watch tower, humble as wo may be, we intend ! makij our cornmeals. We shall not impi the motives of h.s Excellency. We cona ' to him the same purity of motive that . ? claim for ourselves. But; we do contend t? .t it ill became the Governor of the State to^t ter the sentiments that he, with so mi feeling, put forth on the occasion referred .tj^. It ill became hin to proclaim the power c! an illegal body and to announce the year its sway, aud to taunt the high-minded g< .? tlemen of the State with the feet that, nd ns volcro, willing or unwilling, they would i. \ . to obey what was the law of the land. You will have to pasfi under the yoke, saya b Governor, and h2 seemed almost to exuir. j>; the thought. At leasthis air, as he announce; this, was proud md menacing. Nor do we think'that his Excellency si: -nld suggest to his people that they must n'.ake up their minds to endure their badge of ser vitude for three, and perhaps for ten long years. Wc would, with becoming deference, imggest to his Excellency that a moment is :oo long for us to wear the yoke ; that whili i we ?hall have to bear it, the spirit of oppi - - tion should be kept up, its illegality and o< ragcous character constantly proclaimed, ? : the resolution repeated and repeated, thai .1 all peaceful way3, in all methods, under fte Constitution and laws, we will oppose t? .s Negro-Radical rule, uutil wo regain the !.< - tage which is ours. Nor has the Gove: .. wo submit, any::ijdit to assume that this tint . will lust three or ren years. We hope lo .-.lt:, it off earlier-al. least, wc intend to"try, aud it-is our?bouadfin d.ut?.to truand to try : every legitimate' method thar Ged a.;' laws permit. Nor think we tbat thi. serves but to rivet our fetters as his Exc< !!. u cy supposes. If you wanta man ti shake off his shackles, would you put him t;. It ?-p with a narcotic'.' If ?ainsou is to husband his strength and recover his power, \ 1 .dd you lay his head in Delilah's iap, and \r: '. un be shorn of his locks ? Wc reply, bo ; ?md we say that thc policy suggested by th', iov ernor is a policy that pb vs into thc ha . is of Radicalism, anti would ad this Stat. '1 md and foot, to thc car of that Juggcrnji.; f ne gro rule which is driving over the mangled lirr.bs of all thu is left us of constin. ional liberty and of white mens' rights. .lt is our duiy to say to thc Governor, with 110 personal illwillwha?ever-but rat I . ? with feelings of genuiDO sadness and regr<-. - mat his course, in eur?piuiou, does not refh . the sentiments and opinion of those who e . ated him tu the Governor's Chair. When dca. Camby stretched forth his hands to r,? :zu the public funds, Lc did not, like the noke Jen kins, of Georg a, Mctellus like, resis: it, and protect the treasury of the State. Las, net, as we conceive, vindicated the high prero gative of bia ellice-though tho vindication referred to, we admit, may have had a moral effect only. Ile may have meant well, bu' he has not always done well. Hia pol?tica thoughts and views are of thc car .h earthy ic. his course as a politician he will hove: about the table lands of expediency, whils: h?r might, as the exponent of thc people, who put him iu office and gave him their conti - dence, rise to thc elevated heigh ls of princi ple. Tho Governor is our senior in our yea;> ol political experience, but uot our supcrier io devotion to State and country. We wou? commend him to ascend in his pol?tica! rot to the mountaiu heights of an elevuted a:, i elevating line of action ; and wo would sti^r g jat that he seek to escape the noxious va pora that spring from the weedy low lani a shifting policy. Let him re;urn to his first love-thc Di 1 ocratic party. That party is purer and I ter than when he won us prizes and enjoyed its honers. Let him throw Ihe weight of great abilities and earnest nature int? Democratic scales of his State and cou aud again wiU he enjoy the confidence estranged constituency. In all that r< . to a just cOLservatisra-in all that loo! * . the restoration of the peace and unit\ ol hud-wc will unite with the Governor ; . ve desire it distinctly understood, that intimations of his Excellency, as thrown in his debate with Colonel Aiken, do no. 1 to that resub. On the contrary," they p< to a policy which reconciles our peojik 1 negro supremacy, and thus prolongs th;.- d astro us sway.
