In a city iu the South of France, which we will not name at present, there lived a few years age a bishop, a kind, amiable old wan, severe to himself, indulgent to others, so good and charitable that evur/body loved hitn. His house was a model of propriety and hospitality ; it was managed by an old 'housekeeper, Aladniue Pichard. 1 in a bachelor's establishment the supreme authority 'is always exercised by a lady. Mudnme l'ichard was the very model of Imuackcep ers, and everything went on admirable under her administration. Her only source of trouble was her husband, a drunken, quar relsome old mun, who, nt the time ol" our story, wan carried off by a dropsy produced by his excesses. A few days alter hia depth the biahop went up (o hia housekeeper's apartment to pay her a visit uf condolence* '-Well, my dcai Madam," waid his Lord, ship, "I have called to endeavor to console you in your afflictions. You must not grieve too deeply ; we are all uiorl^l, you know, and sooner or later we come to the end ol' our earthly pilgrimage; vonr hut-bond's is now ended?it would have been better it he bad not spent so much of it in drinking, but still the mercy of Heaven has no bound." "Your lordship is very good ; but, to say the truth, 1 was not thinking of my bus band at all; I will not deceive you." This was a kind of funeral oration for which the Bishop was hardly prepared, and it was with no little astonishment that he replied : "That ia not a very Christian fratno of | mind, I'm afraid ; did yea not love your ? husband?" "Your Lordship would not sink ine that , question, if you knew how 1 cauie to be j married." 'You must tell n,e all about it," said the t JKehop, with the cariosity of age ' t "And your Lordship does n?t know any thing about my Augustus," continued the i housekeeper ip a melancholy lone. j "Your Augustus, Madame 1'ichard ?? . Pray explain." ' t "I was born at Boulogne,ifit please your ? lordship. . At fifteen they called me the ^ Tillage beauty, end, 1 suppose, when eigh' j teen, I was hot much uglier; but excuse l( me, sir," aafd the old lady, drawing back r her chair, "I am going to tell yon a lovo v story, and I shall only tire you " c "(jo on," repealed the dignitary, "we are v ltnlh nf na nam i-ll- -1 ? 1 ... ..... u.n,.uu vunmiii auuill aili U nonsense without nny danger." j "There lived in the village a young man f tall, finely formed, with blue eyo* and curl n lug light hair; I think I can aee him now; v all we girla uaed to pull caps lor hiin ; lie j, waa what our parents called a wild >oung v man; hia name wrs Augustus, and we all ' uaed to call him 'handsome Gusey' He n aoon singled uie out, and when my father v went to i'aris, and my mother wrs out uf t the way, he waa always at my aide. When |, one gels to b? an old woman, and has a w great . grewn up g rl to take care of, one rails at lovers ; but alill that whs the buppi. ? eat time of my life ; I remember it as if it was yesterday. 1 waa proud of my (iuaay, who waa our village beau, and he soon quitall the other girls to pay hia court to me. ali'u.: j- - mi mis auunuii very strange to your iord y hip, bo dout. My father and mother would ,| never have agreed to my marry irf^ ?o wild fellow A8 he was; they forbade him the bouse, but we used.often to meet in secret; e< he would prowl around all day only to get w a single look of me, and then, oh, how hap- l( py I W|s ! One o?y my father had gone to the city with a load, and I slipped jturte try and Augustus for a moment; we Al had not n each other fori fortnight! I tt haet hitn in the high road. If your lordship knew what a delight It in to meet one's lover, when ones just eighteen, and has been 14 parted from him a fortnight, you would comprehend what one feels; I forgot father, ,M mother, everything. We itood uffder a a tree by the road aide, looking' into each si other's eyes; we were ao happy wo did not si even speak, A cart came along, it was my ? father's; he naw us, sprung out, and begun ?. to bent mo for having mot A ugudiis against lit orders. I am certain Hint it lie had attack* rd Augustus himself he would not have resisted ; hut tho poor fallow could not benr to set Die tuiilVj, he attacked inv father, and they fought desperately. My father caught up a stone and split open Angustus1 head, lie on the other hand, dealt the old mau Midi a blow that ho foil senseless." ' Oh, run, run, Augustus!" said I; "if the ptrlico should catch you, you are lost!"? He obeyed rue and fled, and I have never seen him since My father soon came to unu pave me n urenaim oeaung. lie determined to marry ma oft', and easily found n man to take me without any atVection, in consideration of a pood dower. When I was tired of being beaten every morning and night. I became Madame I'ichnrd I never loved my hoaband; be knew that my lather used to beat mo, and lie followed his example. We wandered over the whole of France, in grent want and misery for the moat part, till your lordship's kindness gave us support. That is my story." "And what became of handsome Cius. ay ?" "He thought he had killed my father, and left the village. lie was n lad of courage; no doubt be euliated ; perhaps he is now a colonel, gentiumaii, or count, who knows ? unless lie was killed in battle. ltul I cnonet believe he is dead; I have been looking for him these forty years; 1 expect every 1110* ment to hear him knock at the door, and see him come in, with his graceful figure, Ilia mild blue eyes Mid waving locks." "Mo, then, you suppose, my good lady, Hint your Gutsy is jucl the same now that he was tlien ?" "So I fancy, please your worship " "Why, that is folly ; votir Augun'.us his grown old, like other men ; by this lime his tr.eo must be wrinkled, his head bald, aTnl his figure bent double.

No sooner was this Mississippi country in our {possession than it was fairly deluged with plunderers, under the designst on of treasury agents, navy agents, army agents, and all other so ts .of agents.' Hordes of these men wore everywhere, and they had no thought hut to make money. Bribery was as common as the air, and a universal demoralization ruled and ruined ns Great disasters will come to us froia this very quarter, if the I'resi dent does not change his policy in relation to it. Hut to chusige hi* policy lie must change his cabinet." Grant and the Capture of Petersburg. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times, under date of July 22c, writes: The events ot the last seven days furnish the clue to the hitherto inexplicable con. duct of Gen. Lee, in not making any opposition to* the movement of Uetr Grant from the Chicknhoniiny to the Jam n river. I e* plained in my last how Gen. Grant was prevented from advancing on Richmond by the mute which Gen McClellan would have taken after the 1st of J?;ly, IbtiJ. if tie had been properly reinforced, namely : by the four nearly garreilcl roads leading from Malvern IIHIs, en the North side of the J lines river, where l.e would have had our iron fleet on his left and the White Oak swamp on his right. As soon as lie had abandoned that intention, however, and be gan to cross the James river below Harrison's landing, all immediate peril in Richmond was nt nn end. General l,.-e knew that ro good a soldier as Gen. Giant would not uavjiicu tosnrds the rebel capital with such a position ns Petersburg in hi* renr. He knew that Grunt's lir.it efforts would be directed to the reduction of Petersburg He knew the capaciy of that place for making i* protracted lesisance. The fortification* there had been erected afser a plan furnished by (Jen Beauregard; and Gen. l-ee knew, that de fended us they wure, they eould be held against our whole force for four or five days si least, perhaps more.

Seymour is making Die General Government trouble, llu seems to think Unit the present moment Is his opportunity, and he therefore orders his District Attorney to execute the laws of the State without reference to the orders of the President, and Gen. Dix is in hot water. The T'roai dent will probuhly\'ive way, as he did in the case of Vallnndighnm, doubtless being satisfied that the seizure of tho World and Journal of (Jotfitrurcr newspapers was a mistake, It'K the difficulty is to extricate Gen Dix, from Ills dilemma, lie is held by the Stale authorities, and if punished it will be because he obeyed the President.
