Attcntiyu to his movements., Tho booty ob

fgrcat'.vuluc, thrtt Abdallah, who was crpually
feared and liked by .his comrades, and who
claimed u? share1 of th!e spoil excepting a box
containing Saidu's clothes, was permitted to rc

? "The'clty maiden had nlrcndy passed several
-days' under the .roof of'.hor wild captor., who
treated1 her with ns much 'reverence as if she
had been a queen, and' he her subject. Her
every wish was a law??her slightest word a

for when die went out to provide for her the
rticfcst hfmh, th'o tcndcrcSt partridge, ai)d the
daintiest antelope, he made her promise not to

rough door that Jxc had^constructcd for her pro

and watch over hor, ns a miser over his treus
uro; at-night he lay tin the roof of the hut,
with sword and spear'by bis side, to guard hor
from all bann. ' In truth, the" love <d* her had
struck deep into his heart ; his liver was con
sumed by its devouring fire, and his soul was a
sacrifice to the dust beneath hor feet.
"And how felt that maiden toward Abdal
lan '{ Daughter of a wealthy and haughty
merchant, she had rtever stirred beyond the
luxurious precincts of -Awx. father's harem;
she hall never tfrcauft of having aiiy will |but

fiery eye of "Abdallah melted Into tenderness
whenever it rested upon her?when she saw
the graceful and sinewy limbs that daily tra

offered, her. the ^choicest morsels of .his chase,
is it to"ho woriderediitr if site sigh edKvitn emo

fluttered within her like, a bird newly encaged ?
One everttrig'thby* were'-sitting'-(ogetiiWin the'

the door was open, and she was seated oppo

ing jlo.hpr^utrtles?^ description of her. childish
ilnys..iU?JHaimB,^l'.^> Ja slight rustling was
heard without the hut, immediately followed
by a faint cry from the affrighted maiden :
?The lion?^tiic' li?ti !' To draw his sword, to
envelop his h^avm in the ^rjpple folds of his
blanket, and to throw himself between the
door and Saida, was to" Abdallah the work of a
moinebVfj.Thefe, cpnfYom)iijgj [bjyj^ w?co. the
glaring eyes 'of the jungle king. Could he
etdcr the hut, Saida's life might he endangered :
Abdallah hesitated\ nr?t -for an o instant,- but
n'tshed at tho' lion, and plunged his sword into
its breast, i Fruitless were the struggles of the
wounded lion ; in vain did it rend-to shreds
jthe blanket that enveloped Awloljuh's left.arm.
tearing away ...with them several pieces of the
skin and flesh. Twice and thrice did Abdal
lah'? sword pioree the vitals of his oncmy '; and
at length a terrific expiring groan announced
the victory of the heroic Arab.
'?What were the feelings of Saida that night,
as she bound up the lacerated arm of her de
liverer? Was not her heart in her eyes and
on'her tongue, when she looked into his face
and prayed to Allah to bless and reward him !
But no wprd'of love. was: spoken between them.

Stnteso misrepresented by you in your officio!

I would cail your nt tout ion to tho following j
publiojflcis of Gen. Sickles, und ask. whether
you consider tho author of thorn worthy of
commendation. ,;
Rc.fjro tho Act of July created Gen. Sickles
military despot of the Carolinas, he. on hi* ram
authority, onactcd,
1st. That negroes should sit on juries.
.. 2d. That negroes should ride, in first class
ears, aiid\steambnat state-rouuis. ?

4 th., That negroes should be eligible to nil
offices inrtlfe Stale,^ including fhat which you
now bold.
5th||Tjjat no election should be held except
with lus imperial permission.
Tie 8j?o committed the following nets :
1st fee degraded both the United States
flag arftl the Charleston firemen, by forcing the
latter^vgainst their uniform practice before the
war. to-^displny and salute the former nt a pure
ly civic procession.
2d. <jlcV refused to obey the habeas corjms
writ of^the United States Court, a process so
sacred*to all Englishmen and Americans.
3d. S?ei caused Cant. .McNulty to be tried
by it Military Commission (although the U. S.
Snj>reincuQo\irt had solemnly declared Military
Commissions illegal in time of peace,) and
fined lfHn heavily for not' allowing a negrcss to
crow d'herself with the ladies on his boat.
4th.'.SllIc tried two youths of Columbia for
assaulting two mischief makers from the North,
by Mjl*Jn*-r Oouiuilftiinij nud Kr.ntca.^<jd, them
to confinement at hard labor in a fort in'an
other State, where. I understand^ they nro now
doing police duty and cooking for negro troops.
5tTv. lie removed an houcst magistrate in
Columbia for not ocernloing his [duty in the
above case; and replaced him and degraded
the office by appointing an ignorant negro.
(itb. He interfered with oui laws geuernfTyj
and concerning rent, licences, und the adminis
tration of justice: thereby destroying all
credit.
7th. Tie disfranchised naturalized citizens
without any authority fron? Acts of Congress.
8th. ITc disfranchised military officers 'against
the literal provision of the July Act as inter
preted by itself.
9th. lie slandered owe of the purest Equity
Judges of the State, and several of our most
respectable and honorable lawyers.
Much eulogy has been lavished by you? en
General Sickles for Order No. 10. WhatcVci
may have been the temporary relief afforded to
debtors by this extraordinary order, all lovers
of constitutional liberty have it forced upon
their reflection, that laws similar have uniform
ity been pronounced by the Supreme Court of
the United'States to be unconstitutional; nnd
that a law passed by our Legislature, which by
no liicana interfered with the obligations of
'contracts to the extent of order No. 10, was de
clared by the highest Court in the State, by
ten judges against one, to be violativc of tlu
Constitution of the United States. Also, that
tile Attorney-General of the United States in
nn argument that has not been, and cannot he,
answered, haf declared the issuing of this or
der to bo a despotic strotoh of unauthorized
power. Finally! while temporary relief hns
been afforded to debtors, we have the fact
forced upon us, that a largo class of creditors,
among whom nro numbered many now desti
tute widows nnd orphans; have boen great suf
ferers thereby.
In this connection, I would nflk if you do
not know that the application of Order No. 10,
to the Federal Courts was an afterthought on
the the part of Gen. Sickles ; and that he did
allow tho process of this Court to be freely ox
ccuted in this State, until it occurred to him
that this Court might on proper enflo made, do
c-inro tho duly Act unconstitutional nnd thus
destroy his super Cfarie power ?
1 am constrained tn characterize your lottcr
as your second bid for Radical favor. Your
speech in'Charleston, when yon? ungratefully
aspersed the Democratic party which gnvo you
prominence, was your first bid. Your letter has
furnished the Radical party with a pretext for
the prosecution of its nefarious deuigns for tho
oppression of the South, that has been seized
upon with avidity by its partisan journals.
Whilo thus opening tho way for your admis
sion into the folds of the Rlnck Republican
party, you might at least have spared us tho
unwarranted calumny of stating that'hut for
the ''wisdom, moderation, and forbearance" of
(ion. Sickles -'a considerable number of troops
would liavc been necessary to prcscrte public
records, nnd ensure the safety of sheriffs, &c."
You well know bow law abiding are tho citi
zens of the State thus maligned by yotij **nnd
that the only riotous demonstrations'made since
the war have been by negroes at places whore
United States troops were in force.
Io conclusion I must say that, your letter
represents the sentiments of only- a small class
of debtors who prefer their individual well-be
ing to the preservation of the liberty of their
country r and that nil true South -Carolinians
feel that Gen. Sick los while with us, whatever
may have been his personal relations to you,
not only crushed out the substance of liberty
but likewise destroyed its forms.
Yours respectfully,
T.'Wi WOODWARD.

I The newspapers, says the New York Day
Hook, arc full of gossip about Mrs. Lincoln's
threats of "redress." We should rather say
that, from the diligent manner in which she
advertises her clothes for sale, that her threats
are rather to imdrcns. Judge Davis, the ad
ministrator of the estate of Lincoln,makes out
that he left $85,000. Congress voted his
widow $25.000; sho sold the furniture she!
took from the White House for 814,000; total, ]
^8124.000. Lincoln has been dead two years,
and his poor widow has already come to want.
