[Copyright secured by an Immense Chain Cable.] Loftt and Found ; OR, THE BEAUTIFUL QUADROON ! A True Story of New* Orleans Life. 13 V CUAR1.ES WISTKftFIfcLt). A SL'ffSgf SCES'B. 'Twas evening? a balmy June evening? in New Orleans, the gay metropolis of the sunny South. The red-crested waves of the Gulf, rolling lazily in from the setting sun, lashed the pebbly bench in front of the City, and rocked the fleet of vessels anchord in the offing?a picturesque medley of smoking steamers, cotton laden merchantmen, filibuster cruisers, African slavers, and Cnstilian fishing smacks. In the far distant, to the east, might be seen the glittering mosques and minarets of Algiers, distinctly defined against the deep blue of tho still more distant hills of Opelousas. To tho west the watery expanse was relieved Dy the Candelabra Isjands, interrupting but beautifying the hazy view of somniferous Mobile. The scene, in short, was mncli as to gladden the poetic eye and Saturate the soul with soft, sweet melancholy. Nor were the sounds that greeted the ear less soothing in effect than the view of the surrounding sccnery. A sharp and melodious twang came from the flocks of birds that flocked the blue vault above? the galHnippers, a species ofepelican peculiar to Louisiana?whilst the deep chora! roar of the alligators in the Massasip Bayou and Lake Gretna, was pleasantly relieved by the sharp cracking of the rifles and pistols of the merchants and lawyers i and other denizens of the city, settling up their daily disagreements on Pontchartrain Ridge, and after the peculiar fashion of the tronics. The streets of the o.itv nro. sented their wonted lively aspect. Here might be seen a foot-race between a Senator and-a Cyprian, with cowhides and pistols switching and popping?there a roughnnd-tuinble combat between an Alderman and boot-jack with the ladies applauding from the balconies, over yonder a ringfight between a judge and a steamboat engineer?whilst the boys in crowds were pelting houses with bricks and stones, in different directions, and the dogs yelping and scrambling about in promiscuous .piles. It was in short a summer evening in | New Orleans. II. El'LALIE. In the old Moorish quarter of the city sfotHjTii large mansion, or castle, so to ! speak ; with high walls and grated windows, which repelled alike the inquisitive gaz?i^f the populace, and the occasional bullen that came whizzing along from the neighboring afFrayf and duels. Within, however, all was a paradise. All that wealth could procure, or taste devise, was here concentrated, as if by the magic of a genii. In the .center of the tesselated court yard across the silvery spray of a fountain, giving life to the little rainbows above, and sustenance to the eels and polliwogs that wiggle in the marble basin below. From the surrounding terrace a grove of tropical trees and plants dispersed their fragrance and shade in the most voluptuous sweetness?the towering pine-apple, the widespread magnolia, the white-blossomed live-oak nnd the stately lemon, with a thick face-work of pumkin and cocoa-nut vines netting them together and dangling their golden fruilin evening breeze. In the midst of this luxury specially dwelt its soul, Bulalie?the beautiful qua-, droon Eulalie, a slender, dark-eyed, tawny skinned, etherial being, whose sweetness reveled halo-liko around her. Dressed in I ft loose oriental costume, wbicfc revealed *tb<[K?quisite contour of her matchless form, and reclining on a cushion of gold em* broklered velvet at the brink of the marble basin, the beautiful maiden abused herself by alternately feeding and caressing a geldon macAw, which sat perched upon one of.lier lovely shoulders, whilst with her delicately pink nailed toes sho plashed the water iu the basin, and sported with the . polliwogs. Behind her stood a sable African girl, of a dark black color, fanning her in route respectful silence with aneuormous4urkey-tailr plume. "Bobo r issued frem between Eulalie's ruby-set pearls. "Yes, missus!" and tho African bent over to her. " 'Has he come yet, Bjbo?" asked the seraphic voice.. "No, iaij|us f was tho response. * fcTheo go and call that organ grinder thai 1 hear ; and.JBobo, go to aunty at tho corner, and brifig me some non-com I -J- "| VMMUJ and* bottle of nigger beer." "Yea4 missus and Bobo went. III. TIIEJ3 AMINO SALOON. In & gorgeously gilt-mirrored and Turkey-tnrpeted saloon, in the European quarter oHIio cite', were assembled a promiscuous hesetnologe of lawyers, judges, editors, merchants, 'planters, and preachers, absorbed in the gamo called Pha* ronfi. The tables were musical with the cfcfcks of gold, and the rattling of tfee ivory checks ; but voices there were none, the players were too much absorbed in their hazardous pastime to give ulternuce to their feelings in speech. At one of the tables there was but one piarcr *. bnt so dennt?m?? woo i.Sa *?? ? - r ...o gninc, ibfct ? large crowd of spectators .hemmed him in,?ecnreely lets interested tiinn himi/Af! - lie V^s a stout built, itinewy man, of flfen ulean frame and graceful shape, clad in l^e.ricb- costume of (he SoiU.b.

I 'Change," said the keeper of tho table, taking up, with trembling fingers, a bank cheek whidfi the Don, with a muttered malediction, had staked on ono of the I cards. 'Caitiff, no !" ho thundered ; "I go tho I whole hundred thousand on the jack f" I The dealer, white as a sheet, dealt out I the cards. Tho first check was his ! and he ! tossed the chequo over upon the heap of s gold and bills which he had previously won i of th<j luckless Dou. Tho excitement of the beholders was now intense?they wero palo and breathless like so many marble statutes, in their anxiety as to what would follow. "'Tis welll" exclaimed tho Don through i his set teeth, looking around at tho crowd with a bitter smile ; that i9 all I have in bank just at present," he continued ; 4'but I i have one more stake, if you'll take it!" "What is it ?" asked the keeper. "My girl Eulalie?the quadroon Eulalie, that I bought at the St. Louis Arcade last i Sunday, for a hundred and fifty thousand !" < "Eulalie, Eulalie !" cxclaimcd a voieo in ; the crowd, as of some one shot with a sudden pang. 1 The Don, the gamester, and the specta- i tors started at the exclamation, and looked round for tho speaker, but failed to find him. i "I take the stake!" said the dealer, with white lips. < Tim Diin rlrmv frnm lii<a lironQt n nfiflrnrrA of papers, from which ' selected the deed of sale of Eulalie, and tossed it on the ace. I Again, amidst the most appal ling silencc, | the dealer dealt. The first aec was his ! ( The Don rose with a fearful oath, and the dealer fainted. The crowd got out of the i way, apprehending blood?ail hut one, a i slender, beardless, blue-eyed, fair-haired youth, delicate almost as a maiden, who i walked up to the Don and looked him right i straight in the eye. "Who are you that dare thus stand in t the way of me?" asked the duellist, in a t VOI/'O flint irnrrlit Ii'iito mo/Li ll?^ Mile "Nobody," replied the youth quietly, with J a smile, folding his arms across his breast, and i meeting the Dou's fearful frown with a t meteoric fhish of his pale blue eye. "A 1 mere nobody, a stranger in town. Hut I have a little to say about this girl Kulalie !" It was ho who had startled the crowd, upon the Don's first mention of the beautiful quadroon. IV.?THE TUAGEOV. ! For a moment the Don was silent. A I fierce joy lit up his countenance?one of t those fearful smiles that never failed to por- r tend somebody's death. The spectators re- c mained appalled and breathless, and fearful c of givipg olfonce by leaving. i "Pitiful stripling!" at length exclaimed c the Don, "that for thy impertinence," and i... 1 ~ 1- .1. - ? - iiu u?,ijtu iu iwkhk iiiu yuuiu s nose, UUI, with the quickness of lightning, the youth c fended off the arm of the giant, twisted his t finger in his moustache, slung him around him in a circle, kicked him under the knee, I' and laid him sprawling and foaming on the I Hoor. r ' Know you now !" exclaimed the youth, i in a voice that rang like a death-bell, and I with a distinct blaze of pale fire shooting t from each of his blue eyes, "that I am the s eater of fire-eaters?that I am Jack Chaw- 1 bones, of Arkansas, the son of Fate! And s I claim tho girl Eulalie by the right of 1 I" 1 o "Alia!" exclaimed the Don, livid with v rage, having regained his feet, "I am Fate v himself! and never, pitiful caitiff, shall you n leave this room alive! What are your n weapons?" f "Anything, from a toothpick to a cannon!" \ replied the youth, with a cool, deadly suiile. 1 It happened that neither were armed ; r and, upon inquiry, the only weapon to be had was the solitary horse pistol of the game- a keeper, who sat, livid and trembling, be- o hind his table. p 4,Now," thundered the Don, "we'll cut a for the pistol, and the loser shall take his f Btand and welcome death." ( "Agreed 1" said the youth ; "and, as I I hate child's play, let the loser take the muz- t zle of the pistol in his mouth." c " Tis well," said the Don, picking the b cards from the Pltarnnti ? %??v?w ???%? aiiuilllll^ 1' thorn. "Stripling, cut! the highest wins." li The youth cut the cards and showed an fi ace ! Tlie Don cut, and showed an ace aUo. e "Again 1" he bellowed, hoarsely,shuffling I the cards once more. , <] It might now bo seen that the Don be- t trayed symptoms of a superstitious fear, a whilst the youth became more cool and a statue-like than ever. Again tho cards { wero cut. Tho youth raised a seven, and t the Dou a duce ! "If you have any prayers to say," said tho Vnntli * j , ?.j/ mm wuMiig UIO piS- J tol, "I'll give you tiiuo^' "I have lived a devil," 6aid the Don, c witli livid lips, "and, by Satan,I'll die one!" 1 Saying which, he raised his moustache, ^ and assisted the youth in placing the muzzle of the pistol between his teeth. The awful moment had come. "Ask for your life, dog," said the youth, "and 3rou?hall have it." "Never!" snarled tho Don, fiercely. There was i? the next instant a loud report, 9.cloud of smoke, a heavy fall on the flour, ancTwhen tho Bmoke cleared away, tho brains, teeth and hair of the last of the liarons of Tuckipaw were scattered all over 1 tho safoop. i tie youth took from the lifeless trunk 8 the packet of papers before alluded to; then, turning to the game-keeper, he said. 1 "Restore to me the wealth you have taken from this man, or, by heaven, you shall . accompany him on his journey to. purga- 1 tory !" The keeper instantly handed to him all ' he had won of the Don?gold, bills, cheque, and EulaKu's bill of sale, saying at the same r time? MI ?m willing to pay you besides for rid- 1 ding this saloon of a man who has been its terror tor years 1" UI slay for tho lave of staving?not for j filthy lucre!" railed youth, turning on his ueel and leaving the saloon. j V.?TUB DENOUEMENT.

L Llint Eulalie permitted liim to remain. "Know, Ktilalio, that I linve been searching nfter tliee for years. ! When an Infant, I was left with the Cherokee Indians by my Father, of whom I knew nothing, and whom I never sax* afterwards; but three years ngo I received a letter from him, charging me, in tho event of his not writing to me again, to search for his other child?a sister whom I had never seen, who was stolen away From him in her infancy. Six months since, Upon information received in my father's letter, I got track of my sister, learned that die was a quadroon, and finally heard that die was to be sold at auction by her bankrupt possessor. On the wings of the wind I Hew to the city, but the sale had taken n I ace. and I despaired of tindiusr her. But to-night, by tlio favor of heaven," lie continued, rising in his enthusiasm, "I met the owner of my sister in a gambling saloon, where, despoiled of all his wealth, he put her up for his last stake. I interfered?I slew him?killed him very dead?and here I am ! Eulalic, thou art my long-lost sister, and I thy brother!" Need we dwell upon tho rupture of a reunion like this? Long and sweet was tiio communion of the brother and sister. But at length Kulalie spoke : 'Since thou art uiy brother," she said, "tell tne of my father, whom I never saw nor heard of. Does he still live ?" "Alas! Kulalie, 1 know not. I only know that he was wealthy?that lie was Liio Inst of the Uarotis of luekipaw, and went by tlie name of Don AntotiiS Alphonsus de la Ding Dong." "Oh, merciful heavens!" screamod Eulalie ; and ?lie fainted. Her brother,startled beyond measure, soon revived her with appliances that were at hand and the assistance uf Dobo. "Now tell mc sister," he said, "why this ularm ? What means tliT?? strange agitaLion ?" "Oh," she sobbed, uwretched children [hat wo are! Oh, brother, my master was my father, and I knew it not?nor did he! And you, unhappy boy, have killed our atlier ! Oh, heavens, what will become of is !"

No man but my father could -have net death as he did. l'eaee to his ashes! t was Fate that killed him?not I!" VI.?CONCLUSION? Next day the young man hade his beauiful sister an affectionate adieu, and left for California. The day after that the Don's >roperty was seized and confiscated to pay lis debts ; and Kulalie, having possessed lerself of all evidences of lier slavery, desroyed them, and left the house free, but >enniless. In due time she got over her jrief at the death of her father and the loss tf her brother ; and now, any pleasant siiib ner evening, she may be seen" selling flow:rs along Canal and St. Charles. As American Pirate.?A Ilong Kong :orrespondent of the London Times gives he following account of an American pirate : "While I am upon tltfesubject of piraej, I et me mention that an American, named j Sli Hoggs, was tried at Ilong Kong on Wedicsday last, for piracy and murder. His lame would do for a villain of the 13 lack>eard class, but in form and feature he was he hero of a" sentimental novel. As he tood in the dock, bravery battling for his ife, it seemed impossible that that handome l>oy could be the pirate whose name IJli'l lu>i)n fnr voorc >w v j\oio v>uuui:t.ivu n 1111 lie boldest and bloodiest nets of piracj'. It ' vas a face of feminine beauty. Not a down ipon the upper lip ; large lustrous eyes; a noutli the smile of which might woo coy naiden ; affluent black hair, not carelessly larted ; hands so small and so delicatclv bite that they would create a sensation in Jelgravia?such was tho Hong Kong piate, Eli Boggs. "lie spoke for two hours in his defence, nd he spoke well?without a tremor, withut and appeal for mercy ; but trying to rove that his prosecution was the result of conspiracy wherein a Chinese bum-boat ?ro* rietor and a sub-official of the colony both of whom he charged as being in eague with all the pirates on the coast) were lift p.liiof punKnirnfnni Tin* Jufonnn .?-o? ouree, false. It was proved that he had oarded a junk, and destroyed, by ennnon, >istol and sword, fifteen inen ; and that laving forced the rest overboard, lie had ired at one of the victims, who had clutchid a rope and held on astern. No witness, lowever, could prove that he saw a man lie from a blow or a shot struck or fired by he pirate. The jury, moved by his youth md courage, straining hard their conscience*, icquitted him of the murder, but found him juilty of piracy. He was sentenced to be ransported for life."
