wife of the.gentleman, for which shejiaid liberally,
and went on her.waj.
" A day or, tWifteryvards, tlie w oroaii called
Again, reiterating.whut she had said "on her first
visit, the farmer payin'g'but . little al.tet.tion to
what, she said, looking" upon the'whole affair as
an 'attempt, to humbug him. Not at all djscoucagt
d, the wonian called again the next
day, and wound up her conversation by saying
that she knew where three hat crowns, full
of. gold had been buried on his farm, and that
If he won Id <3o as she directed, they could' re-'
cover it; but that it was necessary to allay the.
spirits 'that stood guard over it, that a large
sum of money most be present with them, athe
tincantatibn. . She thought five thousand
ftf.llarc wriiiln herennired. hut was noL sure as
to the amount; and she proposed, if.lie would j
go into it, and furnish the money; that she.
would give him two-thirds of the treasure,
while she would reserve the other one-third as
her share. .
Up to tin's time, the farmer appears to hare
had no confidence in the woman ; but as she
took his hand, and traced the mysterious lines
therein,.tellihg him tbo great tilings in store
for him, he began to place some confidence in
her, especially as she had told him some things
that had occurred injiis life that he supposed
had never been kriown. About this time be
sold a large,lot of catOe, for which he received
in cash about $4,000. The next day the wo
man called again, and said that $3,000 was the
amount required to be present to allay the
spirits.. The farmer thep, produced the;jpackage
of money received for ijic'cattie, and. the
two sat, down to a table and counted out $3,000
in bank notes/excepting four'small gold
coins. /The mdney was, jhen folded up, the
woman all the time- making strange motionsand
talking strange talk. The next day and
day after the woman called again, each time
counting the money as before, making the same
sig'iiSj dec., but leaving , the . money with the
farmer, wrapped up in the handkerchief.
. At the next visit,, she required him to take a
solemn oath that he was not to tell to a living i
soul the object they were in pursuit of, that )
she wa9 going away, to he absent lor -a short
time; be was not to look at the package of
money at any lime excepting when , she was
present; and.after making an earnest prayer,
she took hold of him while she held the package
of money in her hand, and swung hnn
.around, so that they came together back to
back. She thep gave him.back the handkerchief,
as he supposed, all right* and told hiai
that she would return on the 15ihj lGth or 17th
of August, and then they would go in compa
ny .and secure the Hidden treasure. On the
15th he hardly expected to. meet her, and was.
not disappointed that she did not come. On
the 16th he sat up latq-at flight, expecting her
arrival.
After waiting till penr midnight, on the 17th,
he began to suspect all yvas not right, and he
feared all this,might be a trap.to rob him... So'
Hfrnnor did fhia snsnieion fasten on him. that he
took np his gun; loaded it, and went out into
the shrubbery surrounding the house, where he
could see all yvho approached without being!
seen, and remained there until 2 o'clock in the
morning. But no pne came. As the time had
elapsed that was set for his fair visitor, ho considered.himsolf
absolved from his obligation,
never doubting in the least but that his money
was safely, deposited in the handkerchief /" j
i Unroliiog it carefully, what was his dismay ,
at seeing, not a roll of bank bills and four
pieces of gold, as he-had left it, but a package
of brown paper and ifour-cents in Hue thereof.
Even the handkerchief hitd bfeen changed; in-'
stead of being his own, it was one precisely
similar. One of the strangest things in all this
Strange transaction !is,: that a counterfeit five
dollar-bill that was placed in the package of
money, was takeu out of it and returned in the

Strange as this story may appear to many,

occurred. We can sympathize with oar friend

dent of thb Herald; writing from Puenta Arenas,
on the 14tb inst., says:
All those who, left G rev town ,on the day
of the. r bombardment have returned; and T. J.
Martin, the ringleader of all the outrages-committed,
has been appointed Commandant of ]
the town by Lieut. A. D. Jolly, Commander of <,
the British war schooner Bermuda. The ne* ]
gro McLane, who led the band of Jamaica ne- ;
groes to the American Consulate to arrest the <|
Minister to the United Sates," Mr. Borland has ;
been appointed constable. '
These are the men that this' British officer j
appointed as ruler6 of the town, instead of put- ting
them in close irons on board of his vessel.
Had it been an English minister that was insub .
ted, these very men would have been arrested
and treated as pirates. Between these two
officials/they^manage to arrest some poor devil. (
every day, and send him to Lieut. Jolly tb be 1
whipped. On the 31st of July Capt. Hancock,
of the brig of war Espiegle, sent a fores of
fifteen marines and eight armed sailors to this '
place, to take the two paltry iron cautions 1
which Lieut. Jolly did not take when he t)ok '
the brass piece. These three pieces of cannon, ?
with some other arms, were taken from Sati 1
Juau by order of the United States goverraant, 1
and placed here by Captain Hollins, of the 1
sloop of war Cyane, for safe keeping. 7hcy <
were taken back to San Juan, and placed an- <
der the flag staff.. The town, Phoenix like, is i
rising from its ashes. One month ago to day i
there were bat three buildings in the t*wn, '
which were left by order of Captairr Ho-lins,

The Review To-Day.
"Car State military regulations require our'servrees
to-day, and as an" obedient citizen, we have laid aside
for'a'brief period, our'pen for the svrOrd, and upon
tho'fiel<J, in military insiguio, do duty according to
Ikw. . '
Whilst we are freo to confess that our present mili;ia
syslem is in some respects, gjievously burdentome,
yet, with proper modifications, we are in favor
if its continuance, and decidedly opposed to that )spe;ies
of growing and dangerous radicalism which would
aestroy all our ancient landmarks,, and every other
distinguishing feature which marks and identifies our
Stale. There must be some - military system and
inown organization.. In the lime, of peace is the time
io prepare for war?and it is useless to- pretend that
In case of an emergency, a proper defence amid be
nade without some already existing basis upon wliich
to build. \ . . '
There are too many-extremists in South Carolina?
those who, unless they can get things exactly-to tbeir
3 wn notions, are in favor of immediate reform, change,
ind every other unreasonable aud impracticable notion
ifloat. We have learned by profitable experience,'
that it is not well to be always finding fault and complaining
of every thing which does not precisely ac?rd
"with our peculiar notions, and those extreme
radicals in. our State ought to remember that it often
happens in attempting to correct and improve State
natters, they get worse. Our experience is,'that well
iuough had'just as well be left alone, and perhaps a
little better. No one is able to tell what a daymay
aring forth, and the history of o$lbt countries ought to
teach us to be always ready, for we have from high
authority, that "eternal vigilance is the price of libarty."
Instead of weakening and destroying ourpres;nt
military system, let it be properly modified and
strengthened?ou no account, and under no false aud
plausible pretext whatever, let it bo abolished. We
i system need as much, aye, we need it more than ever.
It is heodless to depend upon volunteer services?men.
will not do their duty unless by compulsion, and in
this case/force is better than persuasion.
We are not sufficiently advised in this matter to
propose any change?a modification ought, and no
ioubt will, be effected; but let us do this and nil
others as reasonable men, and not too hastily dostroy
i system which had i ts origin in the vory birth of our
liberties, and was baptized with the first and.best
oJood xrf the roxokrtion, and which assisted to achieve
jur glorious rights and freedom. Wo have too much
'espcct for old associations to see them ruthlessly dissanded.
But to our Review to-day. His excellency Governor
Manning and part of. his Staff, Adjutant and Injpector
General Dunovant, Brig. Gen. Cuandler and
Staff, Col. Taylor and Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kerjiiaw
and Maj. Kiukland ombrace the principal
points of attraction in the military display. It is hoped
hat the Regiment will go through the manoeuvres
with ease and accuracy, aud at the close of tho oxer:ises
on the field, that we shall have a spee'eh- from
)ur elegant and worthy Governor, with "a few renarks"
from others occupying a conspicuous ."place
n the picture."
The bellow Fever.
We regret to state, Says tho Charleston Mercury of
Saturday, that the number of new cases- duriDg the
ast two days has considerably increased. The report
>f tho City Register shows also a largo Increase of

maccliraated persons the importance of living with
nreful regularity, of avoiding all unnecessary expo?ro,
and, if attacked, wasting no time and strength

autisns, a man has no need to look upon Yellow Feier
as a formidable enemy.

Attorney Gcnoral Gushing has lately given an opinion u
on pre-emption rights in Kansas and Nebraska- He v
holds that the act of Congress gives tprc-emption only g
in such of the, lands ccped, by thb -Indians as are not ^
required first to be ofTerdd'at public salo: that the lams .
ceded under the condfUon of .bfeing first offered at pub
lie salo are no more openod to, pre-emption by. act,of
Congress than was the' military reservation at Port d
Leavenworth; that those lands cannot W taken up by 2
settlers under a claim of pre-emption; and that- Sndfc
claims will .be void in law, and'confer no-right'cm .
which to demand a patent from the Commissioner of ''
Publio Lands; moreover, it will be thedutv of the Pre- h
sident to maintain by force the plighted faith of,the h
