At tho battle of FrceholtL during tho first American war, a young English officer, oloso jjy pi-cased by^two AbenakU Indians with up raised hatchets, no longer hoped for lifo, and ^ Only resolved to sell it doarly. At tho mo ment when ho expected to sink beneath them, ?od old Indian, armed with a bow, approach ed him, and prepared to aim an arrow ; but having adjusted it, in an instant ho dropped hi? bow, aud ran to throw himself botweeu the young officer and his assailants, who immedi ately retirod with'rospcot. Tho old man took Iiis prisonorby tho hand, encouraged him by etircssos, and conducted him to his cabin. It was wintor, and thc In dians were retiring homo. Hero ho kept him for some time, treating him with undiminish ed.aoftness, and making him leas his slave than his companion. At length he taught him tho Abonukis language, and thc rude arts in use among that people They became per fectly satisfied with ouch other, and tho young officer was comparatively happy-exoopt at times when his heart was wrung to per?oive the old man intently fix his eyes on him and shed tears. At tho return of spring, tho Indians re turned to arm H , and prepared for tho campaign. The old man, yet sufficiently strong to sup port the fatigues of war, sot out with thom, ?ooompanied Dy his prisoner. Thc Abonakis . made a marou of moro than two hundred leagues aoross tho desert, till at length they ar rived within eight' of au English camp ; the old Indian pointed it out to the young offi ; cor, at tho sarao timo contemplating him wist \\ fully. "Behold thy brothers !" said ho to him; " behold whoro they wait to givo us bnttlo I . E'i'ir.m?. I have saved thy lifo;-I havo ; taught thee to make a oanoe, bows and arrows; to obtain tho means to make them from, tho forest} to manage the hatchet, and to take off the scalp of an enemy. What wert thou when I took theo to my cabin ! Tby hands woro those of a ohild; they neither served to nourish nor defend theo; thy soul was in night; thou knewest nothing; thou owest me all ; Wilt thou, thon, be ungrateful enough to, join thy brothers, and raiso the hatohct against us ?" Tho young Englishman vowed he would rather lose a thousand lives than spill thc blood of ono Abcnakis. Tho Indian koked on his prisoner with earnestness, and in a min gled tone of tenderness and corrow, inquired, wHast thou a father?" " He was alive," an swered the young man, " when I left my country." " 0, how misorablo ho must bo !" cried tV Indian j and attor a moment of st louco, L J kidded, " Knowcst thou that I have been a father ? I am so no moro ! I saw my child fall in tho battle ; he was at my sido. ? s?W him dio l?ko a warrior ; ho waa ouverud with wounds*- my child, when ho fell. But I have avongodhim." Yes, I havo avonged him. The Indian, at pronouncing theso words, was much agitated; then turning to the east, where tho sun was just rising, he said to tho young Englishman, " Soest thou that beauteous sun, resplendent of brightness ? Hast thou pleas ure in seeing it?" " Yes," answered he, " I have pleasure in seeing tho beautiful sky." "Ah well 11 have lt no moro," said tho Indian, shedding tears. A momont after, ho showed the young officer a flowering shrub. " He caf. thoa that fine treo ?" said ho to him ; " and hast thou pleasure in lookiog upon it 7" "Yes, I haTe,"rnojM?BWerod. "I have it no more," returned tho Indian, with precipitation ; "bul as for theo-go, return to thy country, that thy father may again with pleasure mark the rising aun, and behold tho springing flower."?

This subsequent to tho occupation of tho oity by the Federals, plaintiff demanded | in legal tender, which defendant refused, and j offered Confederate money. It Was in proof that tho business of the bunk, at the timo | ptain lid kept nn aocount with it, was conduct ed with Confederate money; and upon bia bank book was inscribed thc following notifica tion : " Deposits in this bank aro received only on condition that tho amount is to be drawn in Confed?ralo money." j The opinion of the court, now reaffirmed, was, in brief, that Confederate money haring, upon th? face of it, been issued to make war upon the Government of tho United States, parties voluntarily dealing in it, as was thc 0180 with both plaintiff mid defendant, were culpable-guilty of an immoral act-and the court could not lend itself to tho enforcement of contractu entered into a contempt of law. Dooiuring thia contract, theroforo, null and void, tho decisi?n of tho lower court, whioh was in favor of defendant, was ordered to bo roversed. NEWSPAPER INUKPKN DKNGR.-A great deal is said about the independence of thc press, and thc reading community hare very errone ous conceptions of what a newspaper should bo. They will tell you in general terms, that a paper .must speak out without fear or favor; and, at tho saino time, it should reflect thc sentiments, opinions and prejudices of the public. They say it ought to have an opin ion of ita own, and yet they aro most exacting in their requirements of what it shall say upon any question of personal interest. Analyze this popular notion of newspaper indepen dence, and it will be found to bc something that omi forms to their own notions, and har monizes their own opinions. To speak the whole truth on all occasions may bc very pret ty in theory ; but in practice, it will frequent ly wound when it will do no good. Ono man thinks the newspaper should bo speoialiy severe in its denunciation of some particular vico, while he himself may be guilty of some equally grievous fault, to allude to which would be unpardonable assumption: - Thora is no such thing as an independent press, according to tho popular idea of the tenn. Editors, like other men, must exercise the largest discretion and tho ripest judgment in the discharges of their duties. They must uso the facilities at their command in snob way as will best accomplish the results desired, always recognizing the paramount claims of public good, over selfish aspirations or ambi tious personal scheme.-Atlanta Bulletin. WOFUL FOREBODINGS.-A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing from London,says: I am struck with tho fact that all classes of people in England, thc educated ns well as the ignorant, have forebodings of diro convul sion and calamities coining upon the earth, and especially upon Europe. I have takon an interest lately in talking with farmers, oattlo dealers and laborers, as I have been traveling through thc country ; and they express inva riably a feeling that the disease among cat tle is but a preludo to frightful desolations and woos approching the earth and destined to fall on human kind There is an external appearance of oahu in Europe, lowering over Austria and Russia ; yet within tho past week auch hard heads as those of Carlylo and Bright have manifested tho apprehension of coming tempest. AN EVENTFUL CARERR.-A Confedorato Holdior h?s just roturn*>d homo after nn ab senco of moro than four years in tho scrvico of his country. Ho joined tho rogimcnt of Colonel, or now Major-General Kershaw, in thiB State; snbsequontly changed his com mand, wont to Virginia, was ongaged in thirty one battles, and ono hundred and twenty-threo skirmishes not including thc " rows " on pick et; was shot twice; rcturnod to tho field; and io tho general smash-up, while making bis way hom? lo South Carolina, was captured and paroled. A Confederate officer then pressed Hm and twenty other? into service to guard a portion of the baggage train of Ex president Davis, in whioh service he was cap tured a second time. Found with a violated parole in his pocket, he was carried with his comrades to Hilton Head, where they woro triod for their lires. Tho Military Court fail ing to agroo, they wcro sent to Now York, tried a second time, and five of tho number ordorod to bo shot, whioh sontonoe was carried into execution. Tho remainder woro conveyed to a prison in Springfield, Illinois, within sight of tho hoine of Mr. Lincoln, and thore remained until tho term of thoir confinement expired. He has had four wives, all of whom aro dead, and by oaoh wife a pair of twins,, whom ho had riot seen until his return,, since tho beginning of the war. Such a man is on embodiment of history-civil, politiool, mili tary and domestic, and oortainly doBorvcs a modal or a monument.- Carolinian. JOHN RANDOLPH is said upon ono cocasi?n to havo visited a raco oourse near tho oity of Now York. A flashy-looking stranger offered to bot him fiv6 hundred dollars upon Ihe re sult of tho raco, and introducing his compan ion, said : "Mr. Randolph, my friond. hero, Squire Tompkins, will hold tho stakes." But, i sir." squeaked tho orator of Roanoke, " who I will bojd; Sq?ire Tompkins V* . The Triumph of love iu Death. "Wo forget what book it was in, many years ago, that wo road tho story of a lover who was to win his mistress by carrying her to tho top of a mountain, and how ho did win her. We think tho sceno was in Switzerland ; but tho mountain,, though high onough to tax Iiis stout heart to the utmost, munt have been among tho lowest. Let us fanoy it a good, lofty hill in tho summer timo. It wns, ut any rate, so high that tho father of thc Indy, n proud nobleman, thought it impossi ble for a young ma?i, so burdened, to seale it. For this reason alono, in scorn he bado him do it, and his daughter should be his. Thc peasantry assembled in the valley to witness so extraordinary a sight; They measured tho mountain with their oyes; they communed with one another and whook their heads, but all admired the young man ; aud some of his fellows, looking at their mistress, thought they could do as much. Tho lather, on horsaback, apart and sollen, repented that he hud subjected his daughter oven to tho show of suoh a hazard, but he thought it would teach his inferiors a lesson. The young man, (tho son of a small land proprietor, who had some pretentious to wealth, though none to nobility,) stood re spectfully looking but confident; rejoicing in his heart that he should win a mistress, though at the cost of a nublo pain, which he could hardly think of ns n pain ; considering who it was ho was to carry. If ho died for it, ho should at least have had her in hts arms, and have looked her in thc face. To clasp her person in that manner was a pleas ure he contemplated with such transports as is known only to real lovers; for none other know how respect heightens the joy of dis pensing with formality, and ennobles and makes grateful the respect. . The lady stood by the side of her father, palo, desirous and dreading. She thought her lover would succeed, but only because she thought him every way tho noblest of his sex ; and that nothing was too much for his strength and value, prout fears name over her, nevertheless. She knew not wliaftnight happen in the chances common to all. She felt tho bitterness' of being herself the bur den to him and the task; she dared not look ?it her father nor, the mountain. Sho Pited her eyes on the crowd, (which, nevertheless, she beheld not) and now, on her hand and her finger's ends, which she doubled up to ward her with a pretence-the only deception she had ever used. Once or twice a daughter or a mother slipped ont of thc crowd, and coming up to her, notwithstanding their fears of their Lord liaron, kissed tho baud she knew not what to do with. The father said, '* Now put an cud to this mummery." The lover turned pale for the first time and took np the lady. The specta tors rejoiced to see thc manner in which bc moved off, slow but secure, as if encouraging his mistress. They mount the hill ; they proceed well; he halts an instant before he gets midway, and seems to refuse something ; then ho ascends at a quicker rate, and now, being at tho midway point, shifts the lady from ono side to thc other. The spectators give a great shout. Tho Baron, with an air of indifference, bites the tip of his gauntlctt, and then casts on them the air of rebuke. At the shout th? lover resumed his way. Slow, but not feeble in his step, yet it grows slower. Ho steps again and they think they seo the lady kiss him on the forehead. Tho women "bogan to tremble, but thc men say he will bc victorious. He resumes again; ho is half way between thc middle and thc top; he rushes, he stops, he staggers, but does not fall; anothor shout from tho men, and ho resumes once more ; two-thirds of the re maining part of tho way ?re conquered.- j They are certuiu tho lady kissed his forehead and eyes. Thc women burst into tears, and thc stout est men turned palo. Ho ascended slower than ever, but seems to bo jooro euro; he halts, but it is only to plant his foot to' go on nguiu j and thus ho piekw bia way, planting his foot on every step, and then gaining giouod with an effort. The lady lifts up her arms as if to lighten him j ho steps, he struggles, and moves sidoways, taking vory little stops, and bringing ono foot overy time close to the oth er. Now ho is nil but on tho top ; ho halts again, he is fixed, he staggers, a groan goes through tho multitude; suddenly he turns full from toward the top ; it is luckily almosl lovel ; he staggers but it is forward. Ves, ev ery, limb in tho multitude makes a movement as if to ansist him ; see, atlast he ison the top, and down he falls with his burden. An enormous shout-he has won I Now he has a right to caress his mistress, and she is caress ing him, for neither of them get up. If abe has fainted, it is with joy, and in his arms. Tho Baron put spurs to his horse, the crowd following him ; half-way up ho is obliged to dismount, they ascend tho hill togother, tho orowd silent and happy, the Bnron ready to burst with shame and impatience. Thoy roach tho top j tho lovers aro fnoo to face on tho ground, tho lady olasping him with both arms, his lying on oaoh sido. ? Traitor I oxolaimed tho Baron, h thou hast practiced this feat before on purpose to de ceive mo. Arispl" " You cannot cxpoct it, sjr," said n worthy n)nn who wps richotiougli to sponk his mind; "Sampson himself might tako his rest after suoh a docd ?" "Part thom 1" said tho Baron.

It ap pears that a short timo ago a foreign prino? made a heavy bet that he would bo arrested by the police without committing any o ile nco whatever, or in tiny way provoking the author ities. Tho bet having beon taken by a mem ber of tho Imperial Club, the priuco went to ono of tho most aristocratic cafes in Paris, dressed in a battered bat, a ragged blouse, and boots all in holes, sud, silting down at ono of tho tables, ordered a cup of coffee. Tho wai tera, however, paid no attention to so suspicious looking a customer, upon which tho prince put his hand in bis pocket and showed them a bundlo of bank notes. Thc proprietor then ordered tho coffee to be served, ?ending, meanwhile, to the nearest police slntiou for a ; sergeant dc ville. The prince was duly arrest ed and taken to the commissary of police, whore he stated who he was, and wus after wards taken to tho gentleman with whom ho made tho bot, to prove his identity. A simi lar story was told ut Vienna some timo ago of a Hungarian Prince Leander, M. Dc Metter nich's son-in-law, who, in order, to make hi? arrest quite sure, took the bank uotes out of his boots. A WAH ANKH DOT E.-Colonel Heros Von .Boroke who is writing for Blaokwood a story of his nd vert til res as aid to Gen. Stuart during the war, tells tho following story : One of the Yankee officers, who ns I was later informed, was tho Colonel of the regi ment that had effected its escape from Har per's Perry, had attracted my attention by Iiis gallantry and thc excellent disposition ho made pf his troops. I saw him again, gallop ing very near us on a handsome gray horse, quickly discovering our weak points, nod pos ting and instructing his men accordingly. After having left him undisturbed for soto o time, I thought it necessary to puta stop to his proceed i ogs j and selecting a couple of my infantry mon who had been pointed out tonio I ns the best shots, I made across, the opon spaco I in front of our lines direotly towards him.-> Having arrived within reasonable distance, I ordered my sharpshooters to fire ot the dir ing colonel, who was moving nlong at an easy gallop, without paying me the slightest atten tion. After sovcral bullets had whistled quito close to him, he suddenly halted and turning round advanced a few steps, and made me a military saluto in tho most graceful manner possible. Thou calling out to one of his men to hand him a carhine, he raised the weapon, took deliberate aim nt mo, and sent his ball ao close to my head that 1 thought it had carried away a look of my hair. I saluted him now, on my part, and wheeling round quietly, both of us rodo back to our rcspootivo lines. So courtesies are sometimos exchanged in tho midst of hostile conflict.
