Detectiveo' stories are rarely devoid of interest, and when truthftil?csa Is a pro iiiincut ele'nont of their matter, they ac quire positive importance in the eyes of j the general reader. The one told by an officer, in the NeW Orleans Picayune, and printed below, is no exception to the rule As a record of facts, giving prom inence to the kceuuess and courage of a woman, it will be found worthy of peru sal : lu 1848, a circumstance occurred in New Orlcutla which, at the time, created an excitement which affected the entire population. An old merchant, highly connected, wealthy and of distinguished social position, ane night mysteriously disappeared. His family ,wcrc tu in finite distress, and his business in consequent disorder. lie left his store at a late hour, ostensibly to go home; but, before going, contrary to his usual praotice, he put in his pocket a large sum of money. His way led aloug Peters street, on the bank of the river, far down in the Third District of the city. His life may have been sacrificed, and his body thrown into tho flood that rolled ut his feet. Police regulations at that timo were bad. and crimes of this description were not un frequcntly perpetrated. A little way baek from the street won a ruinous build ing, half tumbling to decay, and inhabi ted by a number of people, men and wo men inured to vice, and living by rob bery. Among the notes Mr. Conlay was known to possess was one for $500, with .bo word "Can.il" written on the back The rot were of various duoom matrons and without peculiar identity. Mr. I-and myself visited the resi dence of the missing man, at the request of bin wife; ? and by het were charged with the duty of tracing out and bring ing to justice his supposed murderers. She was a tall, elegant looking lady, of ,j ooutv'od/ng pros*and great cultu.e. The wealth of her beauty and fine mind were inherited by her daughter, a young girl scarcely twenty. The terrible be reavement hud paralyzed the senses ot the mother, but had aroused the energy and fire of the young girl's untnre. More like a beautiful Nemesis than an ordina ry woman she appeared to us. As we entered the roo she was in the act of consoling her mother. The long black hair had escaped from its confinement and ulniost enveloped her person in its ebon tresses. The great luminous eyes were tearful, but flashiug and full of fire. The face was dark with the blood of her Spanish race, but the figure was queenly, slender uud 1'auli It- as a model, l he glorious beauty of this young girl fascinated while it bewildered you. Hare in its exquisite loveliness, the eye delighted to rest on the willowy outline nnd graceful symmetry. Start ing up as we entered the room, she in quired hastily, almost fiercely, I thought. "Are you the detectives t" "Wo arc," and I mentioned our mimes. "I must speak to yon in private," she said, and led the way to an adjoining apartment. '?What do you think of the mutter'/"' ihc asked, when out of hearing of her mother. ''As yet, an opinion would be guers-work," I replied. '?Nevertheless, / have come to one. I have, no doubt he has been murdered, and that the deed was committed some where near thai old ruinous building by the river.'' ? "Some such idea has crossed my mind, but there is no trace as yot which can lead to proot of it." "Wc will find it, rest assured," said, "aud to this em ate with ur have to si| precisely, ing. I young wot to them fol apparently] "Hut I (FTnot understand !" "But you will. I am going there at dusk, disguised as a beggar girl. By the time you come, my information will have been collected." She roso to her feet as she spoke, und now indeed she wore th? appearanco of the Nemesis I bad likened her to at first. Beautiful, but rigid us (ate. looked that set, deter mined face- The beautiful eyes had lost their softened lustre, and shone with a passionate light almost cruel. The lips were pale, but rigid as iron, and tho beautiful nostril diluted with an expres sion of heart-consuming vengeance. "I will read the guilty secret,'1 she said, "if the criminal is there, however deep in his heart he rnaj bury it." Strange as it may appear, I made no attempt to dissuade her from bet pur pose. I could not. I felt as if the beau (tiful creature exercised over me a mag netic control. And with this under standing, we took our leave, to prepare for the uight Visit to the old house and its dangerous inhabitants. Those acquainted, with the city at that period, can form some idea nt the danger of the plot we had formed. To us it was a matter of daily occurrence. Hut for the young girl, inexperienced and tenderly nurtured, to thrust herself into the very house of the unscrupulous and desperate wretches who were sus pected uf this crime, was simply ap ail ing. It would not do, however, to go to the place before the hour Appointed for our coming, for that would defeat the object in view. It was, therefore, with many a misgiving, and un uneasiuess but poorly concealed, we bided our time. Hut we determined to be there at the very moment, and the clock was on the stroke of midnight, when we knocked nt the door. The outside of the house garo no signs of life within. The shutters were securely fastened, and no ray of light penetrated the darkuccs ; but the muffled sound of voices reached our ears, until our knocking hushed thorn to n whisper. There was a momentary hesi tation, as i' )i counseling together, and hen tho ...ror was thrown open wide. It was a long, low room, dusty and brown from age. About a dozen persons were seated around, but every eyo was turned to thi? do^r- Twt?nion bad risen t?7th?tr reW7ulinustty>d in an attitude, which might mean defc\iu^,'^^fojr^t.he fire-place ; but the object that attracted our attention most was a young girl sit ting in the centre of thu apartment. Her lace, was dark as a gipse)'a. and the long hair hung b?osc on her shoulders. Her dresa was of poor dmtefflrY,-- ragged and unclean. Patches ami rents had almost changed its hue and disguised its texture. She seemed too thinly clad for that cold night, and her slender frame shivered a* if from cold, as tho chill air from the open door sweepi in. "What do you want?" was the stern question addressed to us by one of the men at the tire. Him'ire I had time to reply, the girl sprang to her feet and spoke instead. "Arrest those men !" Her voice was low, but the face flashed in the light of the fire, was that of the Nemesis I had seen that day. There was a short, fierce struggle, and the men were in Our power. The girl then walked to a place in the floor, nnd touching a concealed spring, raised a trap-door. She bade Mr. I. lift the box that lay in the hiding-place The lid was wrenched off, and in it were the old merchant's money, papers nnd pocket book. With the money was found the bill, and the word ? Canal" written across it. It was not long before the men con fessed their crime. The old man had been murdered and his body thrown in the river. The daughter accomplished her mis sion. Slu had carried out her design, trrccd to their hiding-place the proofs of the murderer's crime. It is useloss to realize what followed. Long years ha? e fled since then, and the young Nemcsio is yet among the living. Hcuutiful still there are many hearts to grow glad at h i stniio, and share with her tho joys of tho home she charms. Hut this strange incident in her life will never be effaced from her mind, or f..de from the memory of those who saw her then. family named Haukcruca, 44 Lake street, Chicago, con itisband, wife nnd two obil poisoned on the uight of the mie mysterious man tier, hut ed Irotn eating mush, which was found standing on the stove. When discovered the wife and one child were dead, and it is probablo tho other child will dio. The man will recover. Tho case will be investigated. The. Chicago Tribune thinks that while there is no disputiug tIn faot that the present price of wheat is ruinous by low for the fanner, there is still much reason to doubt whether a rise Can be expeotcd very soon., and that the only prospect of a considerable advance is to bo looked in the direction of a decrease iu tho breadth planted. "A PUce in ttao Fight" The OrangkburO Nkws reviews in a leading article the politic*, plan of battle marked out In these coleaana, and aaja with ho neat emphasis : "The colored man is a voter end will remain so forever. Whoever roles mnst rule by his majority. For the sake of our State's future, tor our own and our children's chances of living, let as con ciliate his vote. Assure him that he is free forever oud will vote forever, and that he risks nono of these, his newly acquired and justly prised rights, by voting with us. And he will vote with us! Nothing?nothing else can redeem the State." This is, we need hardly say, thor oughly iu accord with the principlea enunciated by ourselves, and we are glad, indeed, to meet with so earnest and out spoken an ally. To our Orangeburg contemporary, under its present manage ment, we have always conceded the praise due to ability and aincerity. We have not always been in accord ; but our purpose was, and is, the same, whether "tho "mountain has come to Mahomet" or Mahomet has come'to the mountain. And wbeu oar Oraugobarg neighbor suggests that we are laying down s plat form uot our owu, and modeatly claims "a plnee in the ''fight," we make reply, freely and without reserve : The plat form of The Charleston JYeurs is not intended to be the expression of the hopes or fears, the ambition or the de spair, of any man or clique of men. It is intended to be, and is, we believe, the expression of the stucere- and earnest upinibns of the vo'ers of the State There is a place in the fight for our Orangcburg brother. Nay, more ! There is a place 7oT" elTry^vui^^a^iyr^very lover of good government, for every"TV'.'teT of' official extravagance and corruption, for every citizen who ca-> rise above the name of party and rtrike one mighty blow for justice and -equal Tights.- f Then let ns to work. Let us, again quoting from our Oruugeburg namesake: '?First woo and win back the confid ence of the colored man. by guaranteeing a full recognition of his civil right., nnd then free him from the shackles of the party organizations that enslaves his vote. Let us make the effort. Admit ting the great truth of our changed con dition, accepting these accomplishments jo at least permitted by Providence, let us lind u high and grand work before us iu our new civilization. Let us do our whole duty to the colored people of the State, in their real nnd prcseut position, and trust them to respond in the re ciprocation of kindness and good will. Such an end may be attained by such an effort. Let us make it, and il that fails then may we, indeed, howl over our ruin." ?? ? To PREPARR B0NK8 FOR MaM'KK ? Dr. J. F Hodges, of Bel ast, gives the following method in the Mark Lane Ex press i Place iu a wooden trough or tub, the hones broken into as small pieces as possible, aud pour upon them one-third of their weight of boiling water, and, having steamed the mass so as to render the bones completely moist, add one-third of the weight of the bones of sulphuric acid and common vitriol and mix the materials completely, by stirring them by means of a wooden shovel or old spade The mixture may be couveuientiy made iu an old sugar hogshead, und should he ull '\ved to remain some weeks previous to being used. It may be mixed, it necessary, with dry peat, mould or real charcoal, or with sawdust; but lime should not be added to it. By cnrcfully following these directions, the farmer may obtain a compound of high fertili zing value, and much snperior to many of the specimens of dissolved bones offered for sals. The addition of slacked lime and soapboilers' refuse, which some persons occasionally use, should be avoided. By employing the bones, as described, the manure will be found to contain a large amount ot soluble phos phate, which very few of the advertised manures afford. Than; haint been a hug made yot in vain, nor one. that warnt s good job; than; is ever lots of human men loafing around blacksmith-shops aud cider mills, all over the country, that don't seem to be necessary for any thing but to beg plug-tobacco and swear, and steal water melons, but yu*let the cholera break out once, and then yu will see the wisdum of having jist sieh men, meu laying around; they help count.?Joan Bill ings. "A L-e-e-t j,-k Too Smart."?Old | Uumfeldt wu a well-to-do farmer of Stewart County, Tcnn. He was regular in attendance ot court at Dover, but t?idoiu turned his face homeward until he had swallowed more whiskey than hb skin could well hold, or his legs cooid conveniently carry. On one occasion ha got on his level early, nnd about the middle of a hot July evening started for home. He had not gone far, however, when he was seised with an uncoutroll able desire to take a nap. He dis mounted from his horse, turned him loose to grase, and rolled himself into a fence corner. He was sleeping very sweetly, when he was espied by a buzzard, which was sailing about in the vicinity, hunting for something to eat. Smaller and smaller grew the circles of the buz zard as he approached his victim, cur iously taking observations. At last, but still in some doubt, the bird lit on the ground near its expected feast. About this timo Uumfeldt became aware that something was going on, and he partly opened one eye and saw the buzzard, but was still too drunk to take any active steps to drive it away. He, however, kept a close watch. The buzzard strutted around sod around him, all the time inspecting Rumfeldt closely and cautious ly, to ascertain positively that he was dead. Ho finally became satisfied that the corpus before him was indeed a car cass, nnd consequently "his meat;" where upon ho advanced deliberalty to Ruta fcldt's head, and gave him a peck in the face. This aroused Uumfeldt, and strik ing out lazily with his hand to prevent a repetition of the attack, he exclaimed : ?'Look er here, you're a 1-e-e-t-l-e too d?d smart?I ain't dead yet." GOV. WaLKER'8 M essaus.? The " rccen.' message, of Governor Walker to the Virginia Legislature giver' gES*1 satisfaction in that State, ana it is in all respects such a message as should come trouT* Gfrvoritor of Virginia unflef^fllq scut circumstances. Governor Walker recommends that the ignorant, incompetent and dishonest carpet-baggers, (and those phrases apply to nearly the entire class) placed in office uuder bayonet rule, shall be at once removed, and their places filled by com petent, honest nud intelligent Virginians, until an election for State officers can be held. He insists that judges of well known character and capacity shall be selected, without looking to the question of their eligibility, aud that Congress shall be asked to remove the disabilities of those who may be disqualified. This is the subatuuee of the message. Gov. Walker seems to be determined to pnt Virginia on her feet again, and has made s most excellent beginning.?Morning Star. Tu? Tower or Babel.?A writer describes the present appearance of tho place whore languages got mixed :?-"Af tor a ride of nine miles, we were at the foot of the Hier-Nim rood. Our horses' feet were trampliug upon the remains of bricks which showed here and there through the accumulated dust and rub bish of ages. Before our eyes uprose a great mound of earth, barren and bare This was Bicr-Xiuirod, tho ruins of tho Tower cf Babel, by which the first buil ders of the earth had vainly hoped to scale high heaven. Here, also, it waa that Nebuchadnezzar built, for bricks bearing his name have been found in the ruins. At the top of the mound s grct mass of brick-work pierces the ac cumulated soil. With your finger you touch the very bricks?large, square-sha ped, and massive?thut were thoroughly burued, the very mortar, now hard a* granite, handled more thau 4000 years ago by earth's impious people. From the summit of the mound, ,ar away over the plain, we see glistening the gilded dome of a mosque, reflecting the bright rays of the morning sun. This was the tomb of tho holy Ali. To pray before this at some period of his life ; to kiss the sacred dust of the earth around there at some time or other ; to bend his body and count his beads, is the daily desire of every devout M.-hamedau." The Hartford Times says that when Senator Sumner was introduced to the wife q( Revels, the colored Senator elect from Mississippi, ho congratulated her on the merited honor couferrcd on her husband^ to which she replied: "Thank you, sah ! muoh obleeged to you. AT do de Lord affiiot vou wid e I white skin, i u'lieve you goi as oUek a heart as any nigger in do 'Nitcd States." -.-,-^^?M? Cheerful Company. A well-known citizen of Hartford, Connectieut, a few days ago, had) taken * his seat in the afternoon trafn for Ptot? dence, when a small, weazen-faced, elder ly man, having the appearance of a well to do farmer, came into the car, looking for a aeat The gentleman good-natur edly made room for him by his side, and the old man looked him over from bead to foot^ "Going to Providence ?" he said, at*, length. "No, mir" the stranger answered po litely, "I stop at Andover." "I want.to know! I belong out thai way myself. Expect to stay long?" "Only over night, air." A short pause. "Did you cal'late to put up at the tat. era?" "No, sir; I expect to stop with Mr. Skinner." "What, Job Skiuaer a ? Deacon Job lives in a little brown house on the old pike? Or, nMbbe it's his brother's? Was it Tim Skinner's?Square Tim's ?where you was going?" "Yes," said the gentleman, smiling, "it was Squire Tim's." "Dew tell if you are going there U* stop over night I Any connection of his'n ?" "No, sir." "Well now that's euros.

I reckon Miss Skinner's some connection of your'n f" "No," said tho gentleman. .Then see ing the aroused expression on the faces of two or three acquaintances in tho neighboring seats, he added, in n eouti deutial tone : ?^iL going (to see Squire Skinner's datt^J^/~"^" ~-f "Law sale es!" said the old mnn, hta face quivering with curiousity. "That's it, is it? I want to know ! Going' to see Mirandy Skinner, bo ye? Well, Mirandy's a nice gal?kinder bo;nr> iy, and long favored, but amart to work they say, and I guess you're about the right age for her, too. Kcp company together long ?"

And then, as thi long-restrain ed mirth of the listeners to this dialogue burst forth st the old man's openmouth- . ed astoniahiuout, he hastened to explain: "J em; a doctor, my good friend, and Squire Skinner called at my office this morning to request my professional ser vices for his sick daughter." ' Wa'al now ?" and the old mau wad dled off into the next car.

And then she began to tease her parents to take her to Rome, where the handsome but Worth less fellow lived.

SBB1 The question of legalizing a larger rate of interest than six per cent, and of entire abolition of the usury, are et? gaging attention in Maryland. It is complained that under tho present stut utc money flows both northward and southward for investment^ |t jfiems strange to us that Maryland, containing so important and wealthy a business centre as Baltimore, should have preserv ed until now its obedience to a the ry so shortsighted. Money cannot be con trolled, and must always be more plenty where its course is least interrupted by legal trammels.
