A Scasssllaaa^aau Siory The following is from a work entitled Icelandic Legends: '•One autumn six men went on a search into tho shoep walks, with their loader, who was a strong man and dauntless withal. When they had reached the farthest point of their search, a storm came on with heavy snowfall, and the men lost their way, not knowing where they were. After along walk, they found that their path led down hill, and soon they found themselves in a small valley, and hav- & by chanco come across a house, they knocked at the door. There camo out an old fellow, ugly and mighty rascall^:^ lc^iking,.. and said it was anew thing for strangers to'come and pry about his dwelling, and looked with ungleeful eye on his guests.— The leader spoke for them all, and told

him how they happened to come hith- I

or and having told the old fellow this

he stepped inside tho door with all his

men, without waiting for the inhospi table man's leavo or refusal, "When they had sat for awhile, meat was brought them on dishes by 'a damsel of downcast mein. She whispered to the guests as she gave the meat to thom, 'Eat only tha meat on tho edgo of tho dish farthest from you.' They looked, and were soon sure that ail at tho edge was mutton, but all tho other human fle^h When they had finished, the girl removed the meat from the table, and took the wet clothos of the strangers to dry them, and said in a low voice, '13e watchful do not take off your underclothes, neither sleep.'" It was a moonlight night, arid the leader lay in the shadow, and told his comralcs that they should not move or speak aught till ho called them. Shortly after they had gone to rest, the old man came in. and going to the bedside of one of his guests, touched his breast and said. 'Lean breast and craven.'— And in tho same way he felt them all, muttering the liko well-nigh at every one, till at last, when he camo to the breast of the leader and had felt it, he stiid: 'Fat breast and meddlesome.'— And, in the same moment, he turned to a nook in tho room and seized on an azo, and returned with it to the bed of the leader. Rut. tho tatter, seeing what was to come, sprang nimbly down from the bed, wherein tho old cannibal dealt him a blow, missing him, of course but. the leader now seized the axe, and wrung it from the old wretch's hand, who reared out: "Up, my twelve in the devil's name Now tho leader drove the ax=e into tho old carl's pate,

Then

*p, my six, in Jesus'

name!' When ho had thus called upon his followers, a trap door was opened in tho flooi', and thero came up the head of a man. But the leader was not long in cutting it off, and thus he killed twelve of them in tho open trap door of. a cellar which was under the floor. '•After this, they found the girl who had waited on thom in the evoning.— Sho turned out to bo a farmer's daughter from Dyejafjordr, whom the old man had stolen, and would force to marry his eldest son. Rut sho bore an untellablo loathing against them all, chiefly because they killed every ono who came to them who had lost his way, and then eat their flesh.— Hero the men found many precious things, and many sheop in the valley. They agreed that the leador should remain, and ono man with him to comfort the girl. and to watch tho sheop during tho winter, in order that fihey might not starve for want of carc.— Rut tho otheis returned home, Next spring tho leader brought the girl home, and af'torwards, with her father's consent, married her, and moved everything that he found in tho valley to tho North began farming, and lived a happy and luckv life to a high age."

The Copperheads of Tennessee are rapidly becoming converts to the principle of negro suffrage in connection with the enfranchisement of the rebels, who are not permitted to vote under the present Constitution of that State. They have tried "negro equality'' of that &ort and don't like it— now they are willing to try it in a shape that shall give both rebels and negroes political rights.

A Novel Measure.

A bill was introduced yesterday in tho House of Representatives, to establish civil government in North Carolina, which may bo looked upon as in some sense tho most important measure yet brought before Congress.

The great feature of tho bill is its proposition to ignore tho existing Government there, and substitute one which shall have for its basis tho loyal citizens alone. In order to determine tho latter, it proposes that all who vote for delegates to the Convention, which is to frame tho now Constitution, shall bo required to take an oath declaring in substance that on the 4th of March, 1864, and thereafter they were loyal in feeling, and would, if they could, have returnod to their allegiance. In other words it proposes to" consider as loyal not alone that comparatively small number which had no hand in the rebellion, but in addition that larger clas3 who, altho' disloyal in action, felt themselves to be so from tho necessities of the case.

Such are tho points of the measure. Its success is questionable. It will certainly not command tho support of those whom it has become fashionable to designate as "extreme Radicals," nor will it onlist the sympathies of the so callcd "Conservatives." As a compromise it may be finally adopted, but like half way measures generally, it is more likely to fall to tho ground.

Tho committee on tho Now Orleans riots consists of Elliott, of Massachusetts, Shollabarger," of Ohio, and Taylor, of Tenncssoc.

This body has commenced work in earnest. The House has voted—only 20 in the negative—to repeal a certain section of the act of 1802, giving power to the President to declare a general amnesty.

The Senate passed a resolution to investigate rigidly the New Orleans riots and tho complicity of government officials therewith. The Senate Committeo on District of Columbia have agreed to report the bill for impartial suffrage in the District, with an amendment providing that tho voters shall be able to read the Constitution of the United States, and write their names. It disfranchises those who left tho District to help tho rebels in rebellion:

the head of a Liberal force, was threatening an attack on the city, which was held by Canales, in the interest of Maximillian, when Gen. Sedwick sont over a small force, and Canales surrendered the control of the city to the United States troops. The alleged pretext for Gen. Sedgwick's movement was, that Canales contemplated sacking the citj-, and the occupation was necessary to the protection of tho American residents. Escobodo, tho' at first ropulsed, succeeded in obtaining possession of the city, which ho still held at last dates. The affair soems to have had a truly Mexican termination, as Escobcdo and Canalos had met on friendly terms.

river a fow miles below Wolf Island, there

vas, a few days ago, discovered

as a keg of

powder, but on attempting to move it from its resting place, he found it defied his efforts. He thereupon employed a hatchet which he carried in his belt, and, dashing in tho head of the keg, was both astonished and gratified at a shower of gold and silver coin that fell with a musical jin#lo all around him. The keg contained 830, 000 in eagles, 8059 in half eagles, $350 in quarter eagles, and 8170 in silver. There was nothing in or about tho keg to indicate who buried it there or when it was buried* From appearances, howovor, it is believed that it was placed there tho rebellion.

The spirit that led to the rebel

lion has not yet passed away in Florida. Parties who purchased real estato belonging to Union men at rebel confiscation sales, refuse to give possession to their refugee owners, who have refrom turned, and very naturally claim tho premises from which they wore driven by the rebel government. Tho courts in some of the counties havo sustained those whose only title rests in the illegal confiscation of the estates by a bogus Confederacy, and in other cases, have issued writs of ejectment against parties holding estates confiscated and sold by tho United

States Government. It makes all tho difference in the world to these samo judges whose ox it is that was gorod. In view of the ill feeling existing in that State, General Foster, the military commander, thinks tho United States troops cannot safely bo romoved.

A merchant at Belleville, Illi

While ho was taking tho articles from tho shelves, one of the party drew a revolver, and as he turned, demanded his money. Tho merchant halloed for help, ran toward tho front door, and just as ho reached it tho robber fired, the ball entering his back. As he fell his wife entered the store from a room in the rear, and shouted for help, which so frightened tho Jobbers, that, without stopping for the plunder which induced the crime, they ran out of the storo, and it is presumed, mado their escape to St. Louis.
