Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe baa writ? ten a sensational artiolo for the Atlantic Monthly, professing to give the true cause of the separation of Lord and Lady By? ron. We have not space for o publica? tion ol these beastly oharges, but give, in lien thereof, such comments of the press as throw light on the alleged mys? tery, and develop exactly the worth and infamy of the evidence. The Missouri Republican says: "This mystery-if we are to believe Mrs. Stowe's account-ia now cleared away by the revelation of such awful Slilt that the tragio story of Beatrice enoi ia is as nothing in oomparison. '.The following words contain the essence of the charge preferred ngninst Lord Byron by his wife, speaking through her friend: " 'From the height at which he might have been happy as the husband of a noble woman, he fell into the depths oi a secret adult?rons intrigue with a blood relation, so near in consanguinity, that discovery must have been utter ruin and expulsion from civilized society.' "The person here alluded to can be no other than Lord Byron's half-sister, the Honorable Augusta Maria Leigh. Il will be remembered that tue father o! the poet, 'Mad Jock Byron,' ns he was called, waa a confirmed roue, so utterly infamous in his wickedness that he wai virtually banished from decent society In his twenty-seventh year, he elopec with the Marchioness of Carmarthen whose husband shortly after procured s. divorce, when Byron married her. Sh< died in 1784, a viotim of his neglect nut ill-treatment. One daughter, Augusta was the sole fruit of this wretched union The following year Byron married Misi Catherine Gordon, the mother of th< author of 'Childe Harold.' Augusta then, must have been at least two o three years tho senior of her half-brother but a strong affection existed betweet them, the records of which are seal tered through both his poetry aud coi respondenoe. She was the last to leav him previous to his final departure froc England; her name was among the las that lingered on his lips when ho la dying at Missolonghi, and hebequeathe to her all the property he possessed, e> cept what was already settled upon Lad Byron and Ado. It was Augusta's han ?which placed over Byron's tomb, i Hucknall Church, the tablet which beat a name that needs no sculptured marbi to make it immortal. "Augusta died a number of yeui since, and, up to this time, no breath < slander from any quarter bus ever st ai ut her reputation. "The world is now asked to belie-, that this lady formed, and continue through several years at least, nu ince tuous connection with her brother, ac thal a child was boru of the unuatnr alliance.' But this is not all; we a asked to believe that Lady Byron kue of the connection immediately after h marriage, and that, from a sense of du to her husband, and for the sake of 'tl angel that was in him,' she tacitly san tioned it by permitting the partner his crimo to remain under her roof whi she herself continued to hold the poi tion of a wife. More than this even; - are told that she did not leave Lord B ron of her own free will, but was driv away by him; that the offspring of t intrigue was protected and cared for 1 her until its death, and that the aai kind offices were afterward extended the mother. The world shrinks baok i voluntarily from the contemplation the horrible theme, and nothing I Mrs. Stowe's high character for integr and truthfulness prevents the story fr< being at once consigned to oblivion a slander too vile for criticism, much 1 contradiction. But there can be doubt on one point-what Mrs. Sto says was derived from conversatie with and memoranda submitted to 1 by Lady Byron herself. The wh fabric, then, must stand or fall upon 1 veracity of Lady Byron; there is other proof, nor does Mrs. Stowe ch that there is any. "Now, while we are willing to cone all the admirable qualities to Lt Byron whioh it is possible for a won to possess, we are forced to the cone sion that she either deliberately falsi: or was obeated into believing as : what was only a monstrous hallucinal of the brain. Bryon's open immorn has long been acknowledged, even the most enthusiastic admirers of genius, but we contend that ther nothing in his recorded worels or acti which will justify such allegation; these. "Reckless, defiant sinner he i have been, but that he ever stooped 1 self in such beastly criminality as is 1 set forth, we do not believe. Nor i did, do wo imagine for a moment th woman of Lady Byron's purity principle would have consented, i any motive however high and nobb have not only cloaked his infany her own nnspotteel garments, but ace ed him os her husband anel the fathi her child." The Republican then refers to an ole from Blackwood, on the other sie the question, and thus continues: "The article from Blackwood wi! found exceedingly interesting in coi tion with Mrs. Stowe's statement, a a fair companion-piece to it. Tc mind it uttorly disproves Lady By story as told to Mrs. Stowe, bot it shows, moreover, that Mrs. Stowe was not the first who had heard of it. As yet there is an utter absence of faot or circum? stance to sustain lha horrible charge, and the verdict of the world, upon the caso as it stands now, will be that it rests wholly upon the unsupported assertion of a woman who was forced to give some extraordinary explanation of her unfor? giving conduct towards her husband." The Co uri er- Journal pursues the theme with indignation and pours the seven vials of wrath npon the perpetrator of this scandal and the publisher of it. It says: "A mystery has huug over tho subject for half a century, anti Mrs. Stowe pro? fesses to reveal it. The professed reve? lation is most revolting. Tho illustrious poet, we ore asked to believe, was guilty of habitual nnd long-continued" incest with his^sister, and had a child by her, who died in Lady Byron's arms years afterward when Byron was a wanderer in self-exilo from his country. But thiB, even if true, is not, as it purports to be, an explanation of tho separation of Lord and Lady Byron. According to tho statement, Lady Byron was anxious to the last to live with her husband, and it was he who rudely rent tho conjugal ties asunder. Now if she kuew him to be guilty of the horrible crime of incest, it was reason enough why she should abandon him, but surely no reason at nil why ho should abandon her, and seek to make her his enemy, especially if, as is represented, ho was terribly anxious for tl"- concealment of his guilt, and she was the only person who had the power to reveal it. Wo do not believe that, if she had known him to be liviug in the commission of incentuons acts, she would have been so unwomanly as to re? main with him for year?, as she is said to have done, or even for a single day. The woman who lives with an incestuous husband seems not many degrees remov? ed from incest. The very thought is re? volting to human nature. "Mrs. Stowe says, that, when she waa in Earope, she made the acquaintance of Lady Byron, and, that the latter confided to her the whole story of the relations between herself and Lord Byron, with permission to publish it at some aftet period if events should render the publi? cation necessary. Unwilling to question Mrs. Stowe's personal veracity, wc shall not dwell upon tho intrinsic improba? bility that Lady Byron, passing by al her thousands of distinguished and trusted acquaintances, would select an American womau, little more than r stranger to her, to perform this exceed ingly delicate and important service ac? cording to her own discretion. But, i ' authority was given to publish tho storj ia tho ovent of the publication becom ing necessary, the authority has beet grossly abused. The publication canno be considered as either necessary o proper. It can do no good to any one So far as believed, it injures all to whoa it refers. It dishonors the memory o both husband and wife. The excusi offered by Mrs. S. for the publication a this time is the appearance of a Life o Byron by the Countess Guiccioli, one his mistress, who, as Mrs. S. alleges, at tacks Lady Byron. But the Countesf volume has been before the public mor than two years, and it contains not on word calculated or intended to disparag Lady Byron. Mrs. Stowe's article wa wholly uncalled for. It is a disgustiD intrusion. It seems to have been suf gested by no worthier thought than tbs it would add to the writer's own impoi I tance. "Mrs. Stowe tells the world that Lad Byron loved her husband devotedl throughout all his life, although sept rated from him, and had no doubt, aftt his death, that he was a purified angel i Heaven. If suohlwere her thoughts i him, if she revered his memory and b lieved that he was a dweller in the abod< of the blessed, how can it be suppose that she would deliberately furnish tl materials for the publication, after h death, of an article calculated and d signed to blast his mighty fame, so fon ly and passionately cherished by herse! throughout all the future ages ! He could she, clinging almost wildly to b memory, and deeming him a shining st in the paradise of God, seek to make I name, one of the loftiest of all time, scorn, a by-word, und a curse in t mouths of the generations ! Did she < these things ? "We find in Mrs. Stowe's publicati no explanation of the means by whi Lady Byron became acquainted with t revolting secret of her husband's ince with his sister. Certainly others km nothing about it, and she was tho ve one from whom, of all persons th living, ho must have been the m< anxious to conceal it. And yet we ( expected to believe that she was the 01 one acquainted with it. If she h known it, others would probably hn known it by the same or similar mea or a thousand dissimilar means, and would have gono abroad upon tho 'cai wings' upon which 'immortal scant! fly.' "There is ansther matter in regard which Lord Byron is certainly calu niated most infamously. Wo are told Mrs. Stowe that he made a regular s persistent effort to convince his wife t both of them would best promote th own happiness by indulging in the pl sures of sensual love wherever tb tastes and fancies lured them. Th if too monstrous to be believed for An in? stant. There is nothing in it in keeping with the character of Byron. He was a proud man, aa proud as the Son of the Morning. He was ready enough to in? dulge in unlawful loves, but, sooner than attempt to persuade his wife to do the same thing, sooner than tolerate her in a career of guilty voluptuousness, sooner than let himself be pointed at and sneered nt as the dishonored husband of a libidinous woman, he would have in? voked all the lightnings o? Heaven to rush into his heart and explode there. "Mrs. Stowe, as if aware that her ex? traordinary story in regard to incest needs all sorts of bolstering, looks through the poetical works of Byron, and, without the least authority, assumes that every passage that can bo tortured into seeming adaptation to her purpose was intended by the poet to apply to himself. This is preposterous. It is contemptible. Such evidence would never bo sought except in a case of a miserable dearth of evidence. Tho im? morality of Byron's life, and a portion of his writings, unquestionably deserves tho severest condemnation; but we are not willing that the name of tho author of much of the most glorious poetry in tho English language, the author of poetry almost superhuman in its beauty and sublimity and power, shall bo for? ever associated in our minds with a crime from which the soul shrinks with moro horror than from tho thought of eternal death." Mrs. Stowe says that the story of By? ron's incest has been known for years in Great Britain, but that no one there has cared to make it public. Ah, a popula? tion of 35,000,000 or 40,000,000-and not a Mrs. Stowe "among them all ! But do not the comments of the Loudon Times, which reach ns by the cable, tell a different story? Would tho 7'imes be so emphatic if the 6tory of Mrs. Stowe had been known in England for years? Hardly, we think. CITIZENS' SAVINGS BANlT OF SOUTH CAROLINA DEPOSITS OF il St UPWARDS RECEIVED.
