He gloomily aced the room, fir he could net keep Mill, awaiting Miae Gray pleaaure, who presently, d'eaaed for her journey, entered the pirlor alone, Mary, with a womanly inetlnet of the atate of mattwra. keeping aloof. "Mut you go Madaleiof" aaked Mr. Vane, in a heeeching voice. "Yea I muat go," the replied. Not before I tell you what I eta ao longer keep. Madalein, MaaWaie! dp you not know it I do you net tee that I love you!" She turned her fluaked and inquiring face towa'da Mm, aa he approached her, and pauaed. in hie excited walk. An exulting triumphant expreaaion awept acroea It for ao inatant, aoftened by the tendernMt of love, but
a moment afterwards, with hangh'y eyee and a deprecating wave of her hand ehe tent him away agtin. The thought rtme to Vane, with horror, that perhaps she had diacovereri the ruse of hit accident, and be felt that she would deapise him if she knew it. He entered into in elaborate jiiatification of hia conduct, to himaelf. He bad merely intended to frighten Mist Grey out o( her fanry for riding Phehe, he argued. He thought when Phehe appeared, saddled and bri dled, without her rider, the would do nothioay more than bring Vary, who wae not easily alarmed to the grett gtte in aearch of him, bot when he found Miss Grey waa the fl rat who came to aeek him, he thought he would asbe her r.ure more complete by feigning inaensibiliiy, and when ahe kneeling, raiaed him in her arms, he forgut in the bliss of his situation, everything but the present. Surely be waa not to blamel But Miaa Gray's annoyance aroee Iroa a diffen at source: she wm truth and candor her. eil. and alie could nvt believe Mr. Vaoe sincere In bie pension for her, when he rheriahed the picture of another woman She waa jealoua of a rival, and exacting ol her lovt rt honor, end this mystery of the picture must be explained befuie the could feel aatiafled with him. So confident wm Vane that Miss Grev hsd lathomed the secret of his innocent imposture, and such a crime, from thia fact, did it become in his eetimstion, that he determined l make a full confession of his guilt, and beg absolution at the hands ol Madalein. He began in a h(,sttsting manner, for he felt that he was signing the death warrant of his hopes: "Mis Or-y, will you allow me to explain a circumstsnce which I am sure plaeea me in a false position in ymr esleere Believe ae I did not mean to deceive you." "He knows then,' thought Madalein, that I have aeen that picture. I suppoae Miry has told htm.' Sfie answered, ' f will listen to your explanation, Mr. Vane, I confess it is nec essary to mjr peace of mind to know the troth " I did not think M s Grey, that you would be the first In discover me""! lid not mske the discover, it wax your aier Mr. Vane. I thought ahe had laid you." "Yet I know, he replied, it wtt very wrong ui Mtry to alarm you. Do not make a miatake, Mr. Van, I Was not alarmed, said Madalein muglilily. "I thought your conduct improper'' "I know it, I know it Madalein, but I did not mesn to trifle with" -You acknowledge then," cied Mies Grey indignantly "that you atooped to trifle with the feelit gs of a yonng and trusting woman!" "Forgive me, 1 was tempted beyond the power of resistince." ,'Theo sir." returned Midsleia with the proudwat diadain," my advice to rou, is to make the speediest atonement in your power." "I will atone, by a life of the deepeet devotion; if yon m ill aocept It Madslein." "You misconstrue me." the answered impstiently, I do nut see how your stonement interests me." 'Then you do not love roe! Madalein," he cried, in the bitterness of despsif , "God forgive me, I did hope that you loved ae.' She stood with averted nre,"hilet he poured forth in lenguape 1 which aeemed all too barren, the eloquent story of bia love and hopes. He ank on his knees, betöre her, and cov ered his face with his hands. The anguish ol bis sincerity, touched the tender heart of Miss Grey, her magnanimous love forgave the tin the beneved him juilly of. She drew hia hand away with gentle force, and binding on him, eyea lull of love and pity, bsde him rise, but ahe epobe no word of promise, and taone who ip stricken down by heavy blow, be tottered to hia feet, end psle, and haggard, like Adam when driven 'rem Paradise, he went out from the i presence of hope. The hour for eettlng nit on their journey hsd now arrived Miss Grey was gone to seek Mary, and I whilst they were bidding adieu, with teire on Mary's part, and tolmen Mrrow on Medlein',thp carriage wm nanou need, and toon the travelers were seated, the carriage rioted and driven 1 iiarav.

the picture In your trunk, and showed
it to me." A great lignt nere ourst on Vane, tnd he saw et onee the thread by bieb this preplexity wm to be unraveled. He now had a due to Madaleta'e altered demeanor; with delight he aaw thst she di 1 net suspect the teeret of his accident, and remembered, with a shudder, how nearly he had betrayed himself. Re recalled their conversation ot the morning, aad aaw that, ignorant of Miss Grey's suspicious he bad helped to confirm them. Rut how was he to extricate himself ! He could explaiM the aTiir of the picture, but would not tb it involve another explanation! for if he Informed Miss Grey wbat he die! not mean, he meat tell her what he did aean. and Ibis waa only getting oot ef one difficulty into a worM oue. Madalein comtrued his confusion into shame for his error, and feeling that she had no right te eitort hit painful secrst (rem him, said in a soothing voice, "Pardon ms Mr. Vane, I have no claim on your confluence, ind I should not have menturned the picture, bad I not thought youraister had told you she had shown it to as," and an impression I received from your conversation t'tis morning, that you alluded to circumstances connected with that picture." "I perceive, Mies Grey that we are suffering under a mutual delusion. In my attempted explanation this morning, nothing wm farther from my intention, than to account to you, foe the picture, which ia fa ay possession, and I an deeply grieved tbat you could so readily at tach dishonor to , .. .. . .. my conduct, in a matter oi wnicn you know to little. ! have been conscious, for a long time, of being, for some reason, under your displnesure, but 1 do not know tbat I deserved it. unless my interlerence between you and your desire to ride an unmanageable horse, might be construed into an Impertinence; believing you considered it such, I sought aa apology this morning." This waa simply the truth, ss Mr. Vane's apurious accident wis intended, aa nothing more, than an interference between Vi s Grey and her desire lo ride a dangerous horse." But how wtt Miss Grey to reconcile this ssssrtion, made with such an air of dignified candor, with the confession Mr. V.me had made, In the morning, that "he had been tempted, bevond the power of resistance, to trifle with a women who had loved him!" Miss Grey simply suggested the diecrepency. "(did not comprehend your meaning Madalein, for you said nothing about the picture then, you remember, and I supposed you were accusing me of disrepect towards yourself. Forgive me, i hsrdly knew what I was talking about." Although Mtdalein longed to know the history of the picture, an I felt that thore was something in their conversation of the morning that had not been sutiefactorily explained, yet a woman, where she love, truats ao fonPy, that to Madalein, her lovers explanaiion aeemed more than ahe wm entitled to alter her iinjowt aceusationa. She congratulated herself, that the original of the picture was not a rival, and waa no loss aorpriaed than pleaaed, when Vane voluntarily asked p'rmissioa to tell her all sbout it, for she wm too proud to exhibit sny uneasiness or ouriosiiy. "It was painted, he s.'id," by a young artist, who had been an unsuccessful suitor of my sister; and as Jove, no leas than distance, "lends enchantment" to the loveliness ol a man's mistress, Mary's admirer, accordingly, portrayed her with a l partial pencil. But he wisely recovered from hit penchant ror my titter, and soon oonsoled hiraMlf with a very different atyle of beauty, and aa I was, at that time, leaving home for college, he gave me the llkenmia, because I admired it, and it is now in the possession of (ary, who, I supposn, was too modest to tell you its history, after she had learned it herself." Viewed by the light of this disclosure, Madalein t conduot now appeared so chUdiah, that she could not forgive herself, much less, hope for Mr. Vane 'a forgiven ess, hot looking up she met the pleading eyes of her lover, and frankly giving him her hand, begged biro to ferget the past He grssped the dear little hand, and aniwered, that he "would willingly forget til the pain, and remem ber all the plessore. But at this aoment, the distant veil of the locomotive wtt heard. Its despairing cry tounded to Vane, like the knell of Iste, he oast t woful imploring look on Madalein, and auddenly cttchlng her to hit bratet, frtntictltv cried, "Msdsleln, say that you love me!" She clasped his glorious Lead in her arm, end rJrtwinr It down, until his golden locks mingled with her raven earls, softly sighed.

man wm employed, who boarded at
his houM. It was soon noticed that when any newa of the movements of the Free State or Pro-slavery parliet reached Hvatt s, that this man after supper time, would en off to the rendi-zvou above, known at Fort Sanders, which has since been broken up, and (here stay till quitu late in the night, and that on Sabbath evening be spent all bis time either there or at the house of a pro-slavery neighbor oloae by At lust Mr. Hyatt'a family, whose feelings and sympathies aro with the eauto of freedom here, charged him with being a ipy, and the young Udy sited instances of hit visit to pro-tie-very placet after the receipt of nowa by them, with fin oaroetnes very diatMtafal to the Ruffian. The result wat tbat he left Mr. Hyatt's employ Break, On the night of Wednesday, Aug. t'J, when all the family had gone to rett, the young lady left her room and went lo one of tbe outbuildings in the rear of the houae. On her return she wm teited by four masked ruffUnt and to overcoorne wai she by terror, that before she could crem, hwr tongue vat ohokedodlof hermuthand tied with a string behind her head and around her neck. She was then told that if ahe made the lat noise sbe would immediately be shot; and a revolver wm held to her bead while they tied ber bands behind her back. They then carried her a few hundred yards from tho house into a pateh of long prairie grass, and commenced their hellish deeds threo steading guard while they each in turn viola ted her person' She had swooned from fear, and had not returned to a state of eoatoiousnesa when this inhuman assault was made upon ber Prson. a. a a as .a After completing their infamy, they kieked her in the side and abdomen. and left her, it is supposed, to die. Hw long she remain -d ia a state of insensibility, she does not know, but she was enabled to Lag er in the direct! n of the house. On reaching it she was unable lo open tho door, her hands being tied) behind her bank, and she was unable to speak, her tongue being tied with a string and now swollen to an alarming size. She was too weak to shout, end in tho effort to do bo sbe fainted. In falling she overturned an empty churn which stood near the door, and the noise made by the churn against the aide of the house, awoke Mr. Hyatt and his family, who found her iu the eonJition described. On Sunday last, the SSI, she took at the request of D, Avery, eorae nourishing food but ber ease is nearly hopeless. She has had, several fitr of convulsions, and though her friends believed last niht that she would die before this morning, she stills lives It is supposed that the pro-slavery hired man and three of his associate were the perpetrators of this villiany. The facts of the above case were given to me by Dr. Avery, who attended the lady professionally, and who accompanied the Riehmond company into this Territory. On his statement I have tho most implicit re Hance. He is spoken of by the Buf falo Convention Committee in their report as being " a wise, discreet and accomplished physician," and as he made a professional visit to the lady he knows all about the case. And yet, with all these most inhuman outrages before their eyes, there is a class of men, even in the North, who profess to believe that negro slavery elevates the character of the whites. It is needless to say that these vil Hans are at large, and, like the mur derw,0f Hoyt and others, always will i . , . . , be, the bogus laws having been made for the punishment of Free State men onlyProm Ida New York Trlba as. Bald Aroweis The Eleotion of Buch aaau to be a Step Towards Oisu The Southern political Press his never been more open and frank in its avowal of political purposes and plans, than it is daring the present canvass The triumphs of Slavery daring the past four years, the successful repea of the Missouri Compromise, a meas re for which even Mr. Calhoun nev er dared lo hope. and tl.e ready, eager promptitude with whieh the Democratic Paity at Cincinnati yielded to the exactions of the Slavebolding power, seem to have inspired the po lineal leaders of the South with the belief, that the time has cone when they can safely and even with advan tage to themselves, make open proclamation of the projects they have in store for the future. In proof 'if this, and as an indication of what those projects are. we invite attention to the following lead -mg editorial from the Richmond (Va) Enquirer of Friday, AurfVMh. LOOS THE rCTCRK I.V THE VACE. Every one's experience attests the tru.h of the maxim that, very often, the way to arrest danger is to meet it half way. To prepare for it is often to avert iu The ostrich, by concealing its head in the sand, does not elude or disarm the huntsman. To close our eyes to impending danger, wilt but increase t'iat danger, and precipitate our ruin. To yield to Block republicanism will neither molify it anger, nor satiate its hungry rapacity Give up Kansas to them; give them all the territories; and, like the horseleech, their thirst for blood will in crease by its gratification. Teach ibem that they can conquer, and we can submit, and the fluh of victory will stimulate their new-bora courage for freh pretensions and further victories. Tis treason lo cry "Peace ! peace ! wheu there is no peace." There is, there con be, no peace.no lasting union between the Booth nod Black Republicanism. Kiifaer that political heresy must be effectually
and forever put down, or disunion is inevitable. If eoms it must, the sooner it comes the heiter, for our enemk-a increase by the half million annually, whilst our owa numbers are itlmost stationary.

The multitude ready to rush down on the South is greater, hungrier, more rapacious than them. The actors are the same.

Let us prepare to resist them and drivo them back. T yield to them, to concede to them, to subsidize them, as the Romans did, will bat increase their rapacity and encourage their aggressions. Give them all the unsettled territory north of 36 33. Yield that, too, and the next day they will invade the S ates, expel '.he slaves, and seize up

May abolition be put down, inbdelity banished from the Und. sectional hatred appeased, and the Union preserved ! If not, ret theftofcth be pre pared Tor the worst. Here is a programme for the PresU dential campaign, set forth by the leading organ of the dominant, wing of the Buchanan party, and boldly avowing ihe secret motive and cherished objects of tbat enfon, whieh deservM alten t ion . The objeot of the sou h in supporting Buch mums to promote the extension md perpetuation of the "conservative institution of Slavery." And the votes by which it is hoped he may be elected, are to become tbe ba ers of a eeeasion movement and form atkm of a Southern Slave Confederaoy. Tho South has abandoned all hope that Buchanan can carry the Northern Slates. In all the estimates that have" been made by hi supporters of the voles lb ii l arc lo give him Ihe election, Pennsylvania and the southern portions of Illinois and ln-
diana are relied upon with more o n-
fidence than any other sections Of the North. The Mnguirtr glees Bs at onoe tho reMon and the object of this reliance, it proposes lo dotaoh those sections from th North; to bind ih m in sentiment and interest with the Slave States, and to secure their adhesion in the formation of a Southern Confederacy. The line wbioh boonds the Buchanan vote is thus to be made ihe line of Disunion. The Si it-s which Buchanan carries, it is hoped, may be relied upon as seceding States. The South, moreover, is lo enter into negotiations with ether States and Nations for the promotion f this great design. California, it is believed, may be seduced into it: and if necessary, the South is also to treat with Russia, Cuba and Brxsil. These schemes come from the parly by which the Republican movement is stigma, lised as sectional. And these avowals of them show consluaively that white, for the purpose of gaining favor, the controlling leaders of the Buohanaa party, those men and those sections by which his nomina tion wot achieved, by which his elec tion is lo bo accomplished, if it be ac complished at all, and by ehom his administration will he as thoroughly ahsped and directed no thai of Frank-.

The power and patronage of Mr. Buchan tn. if he is elected, will be used 1 m . a a. a to strengthen them lor such sconsummation whenever the tune tor it Sau, in weir juugment, uaveainveu.

We do not present them to prove the prosperlry of ono penthm irf thv ooirmry in order lo excite contemptuous nnd invidious comparisons, with another; or to foster our own pride by the view of a neighbor's poverty and decay; or to stimulate interferenee with a system of internal economy which wo discover to be utterly misehiwuus and ruinous. But we would most distinctly refer to these eloquent parallels all thu fig un s of rhetoric, if enlisted on the same side, could not argue half so el oquentlvaa conclusive reasons for resisting the introduction of the blast and mildew of Slavery upon soil as yd untainted with it.

Mo., from the Spring of 1839 to the last of April, 1854. From that time to the 2nd of September, 1 S.Vi, I have resided in Leavenworth city, Kansas Territory , engaged in the letter place, via: Leavwortn city, in the business of Druggist sad practicing physician, and sa one of the thirty-two original proprietors of Leavenworth, with the exception of four or five who reside st Fort Leaven worth . The Leavenworth association was com posed of those of us who had long resided in Weston and vicinity, snd teellng a lively interest in tbe unp trailed growth and future prosperity of the place as one of the original proprietors, and owning a large number of lota that must be exceedingly valuable If Kansas should be made a free State, aad believing Ibtt the advantages for education, internal improvements tnd increase in value of real eatste, wtt grettly In favor of a tree State, I expressed mv preference that It should be made such, tad unfortunately, perhaps, had voted for the Topeka constitution snd with the free State party, hot had refrained from taking any aotive part in politics generally, and had enieavored to pursue a strictly conservative course. On Monday night I wtt called upon by Fred Emory at lhe head of ta armed comutay. He asked if I was slaw snd order man. I replied, "I am, sir." B next Inquired in esse of Invsdnn If I would take up arms in favor of the proslavery party. I replied thst he knew I was Isme, in consequence of s fractured leg, but I would do anything in my power consistently M protect the town. He replied, "That is right; that is sufficient You csn go to bed and aleep quietly. M But the next morning he again called on ae st the head of an armrd body of men, sad in tbe most peremptory manner informed me 1 must leave forthwith. I told him I had a large stock of good, and asked if I could have time to ptck them. He told me I mutt hnaten down immediately to the bout then lying st the levee, steaar Emma, end said it was then wailing and would aoon be cfT. I immediately pass ed into the house through my store, and requested my wife to prepare in a hurry to take tae stesmer then at the levee. We gathered up in the confusion and haste a few clothes for the family, f locked the store door and passed to the back dour, which 1 locked, and with ay family of four children, including a very sick babe snd two other sick children, and feeble wife, hastened upon the boat, leaving a Block of drugs sad medicines costing me over S)4r0o0, besides all my I am i ly library , beds snd bedtfng, house hold ttiroitore, etc. I lei t the store key with a friend I met with on the boat before I left There were prsons in the coeipsny engaged in driving me off, owing me borrowed nmney, and on account. About thirty persons were driven upon the aame host in a similar manner. 8. NORTON, M. D. STATf WEST OF i.A. DAVIS About 700 men, composed of Georgians, South Carolinian.
