JARED PARKER. A story of Strife and Revenge. BY LVCICS MAItKIIAM On one of the most fertile jlades of the Scioto val-

ley there settled some twenty years ago two wealthy lamiles, from the interior of Pennsylvania. The hope of these families and tlie pride of the neighbor- j hood, were two boys, verging upon manhood, who ' were first at log rollings, cabin raisings, and corn huskings, as well as foremost in all the rustic sports by which holiday alternoons and moonhsrlit evenings

were beguiled. to a gloomy cell in the State Prison. In all games and labors these youths were com-; Anne Parker, with a woman's determination, where petitors, hut Jared Parker, by one year fhe elder of her exertion is called for in the rescue of a loved one, Herbert Williams, was commonly the victor. He ' resolved that Mrs. Jacobs should be found. lminewas more athletic, but he was less passional, more diately she set about the search gradually her means self-possessed and less impetuous. Jared was of a were exhausted then she was a pensioner on the

pleasant, genial nature, and bore his honors meekly, Herbert was tmmma in the heart' core when vantpiished, and bitter feelings were stirred when his companions laughed merrily with Jared or complimented him upon his agility and dexterity. Jared knew no rivalship, but Herbert dwelt on one which, with evil thouo-htj, he determined should eventually be decided I in Si favor eventually 1. "Rose of the Valley" was Anne Belvev, a ! j ... - , ., v e J ' tnie country beauty, who wiih artless grace of manner, speaking beauty of face, symmetry of person and ardent affection, which gushed for all nature, had won the hearts of acquaintances who met her at the green-sward dance, or at the winter party.

The advertisement was answeaed by an elderly la"I want you to be a friend, Herbert I like you dy, who gave her name as Mrs. Jacobs.

"They have told vou tales, Anne " "Who, Herbert?" "Jared and his friends." "You wrong him, Herbert, Jarcd always speaks well of von. I told him vou were cruel and would be revengeful, but he said I did not understand you. 1

bert Williams, but he bit his lips sternly and struggled with his rising anger, till the veins of his neck corrugated. He had love and rivalry to assist in sellcontrol. "But I was in sport, Anne, when I tore the bird's nest, because it was an old one." "No, Herbert, it had for two vears been the house of robins; 1 watched over it with pleasure, and it pa med me to see vou so heartlessly dedrov their rioiiie. It was to them as if some strong iower should iear down your home and leave your little sisters without a shelter. But this is not'all, Herbert, if it weie, I might forgive you. I know we never can be loer.s we would not be happy as such, but let us always be friends." And Anne gave Herbert her hand as freely as if be had never grieved her. The lover took it with a nervous grap, which, had it expressed the fcalini 1 ol tlie u6rig roan's heart, would have wrung the lepder arm from the fair-shoulder. A voice rcaobed the young couple, and Anne said : "Mother calls me. Good night, Herbert, remein'bfr we will alwa-vs be friends." Aud the ojien'hsarisu girl bounded to answer the mother s summorw. There was a heavy frown upon Herbert's brow bis teeth were set, his Asts were elene lied, and his tf was hea v, As lie st ode homeward 'Til be revengei.,'' was sternly muttered. When Anne Belvev was alone in her little chamber. Herben j criwersalion was vivid in her mind, -and her calm jud(r.rct mmetuled the truths she had lol 1 him. Then there came contrasts ; action -, characters and thimglits were reviewed. Jared Parker was not an indifferent actor in this little heart drama, performed in the waking an I sleeping dreams of the free thinking anJ ge.ieroui-hcarted youn .t in rl that night I The spring blossoms had faäen, the perfumes of the opening buds and flowers bail died awav. the iruiis nu.i grown, anu now uic fragrance ot the ripening orchard products was gladdening the hearts of the farmers. Anne Bdvey had the arue seat at which we saw her with Herbert Williams. ' Herbert i wicked," said she to Jared, "he looks darkly at roe, and frowns when he meets you. I sometimes fear him, Jared, bat it shall not interfere wiih my love for you." '"Herbert is not to be feared, love. He would not harm you, nor me; perhaps, had I lost you, 1 should have frowned and looked darkly, as he does, bul you should not now let these thoughts come across your mind. To-morrow will show him how fulile future love will be, and he will be reconciled and be a warm friend again." 'May it be so, Jared, but I fear that you do not know Herbert; I only dread that he will be revenged on you. He is revengeful. ''I have no lears, Anne, and you ought not to have; but come, we will walk into the house, and, with your father and mother, talk over the plans of the morrow, when you will be mine." A year elapsed to Anne an 1 Jared Parker was born a son content and happiness dwelt ia their household '.heir plain cabin was one of the "general homes" o! the neighborhood ; and its merry-makings were the plcasantest which the young folks attended. There was one who had no pleasure in this enjoyment; but whenever be observed it, or it was sKken of in his presence, feelings were aroused "which make men fit for stratagems and spoils." 1 a . a- , . Twas a winter night; piercing winds made blazing tires comfortable, tlx: dry snow crashed beneath the larmer's tread, a lurid flame rose in tbe air, and as it gleamed over the earth's winter covering, dispelled the darkness lör miles around tbe mansion of tbe Williams family. Their large, well-stored barn was in flume ; every possible exertion was made to save it, but without success, and its ruins smouldered where were buried the ashes of a number of fine cattle and superior horses, with farming utensils, antl 'grain and fruits, to the ralue of several thouiand dollars. It was the work of an incendiary, without doubt Who could be the villain? was a question anxiously discussed. Various suspicions were Started, and at length a rumor became current that Jared Parker wa suspcttetl. He was arrested, examined, and, slrange to declare, almost without testimony to justify suspicion, was held to trial. The strifes which had existed between Jared, tlie accused, and Herbert, now the injured, were speculated upon; facta were distorted, actions misrepre sented, and many who hail oltentimes spoken highly of Jared's quiet, mild nature, now talked of it as a mask for wicked passions and long nursed revenge for what? few had a definite idea, but he was noder suspicion of crime, and witb some persons Uns is always equivalent to actual proof of guilt. Anne hail learful forebodings, but Jared told her not to fear, protesting; his innocence in which she had every confidence yet she feared the result of machinations which might be invented against him. Jared bad no suspicion of what testimony could be produced, and made no preparation for his trial, con fident that he would be ac nulled On the day of trial the Court House was crowded with the friends of the accused and the accuser. A distorted history of Jarcd and Herbert's competitions were presented to the jury ; hen a woman named Brown, who hud many times been hospitably en.ertained at Jared's home, was not upon he wilneAS stand She testified that on the mht of the conflagration, Jared Parker came '.o a house where she was visiting with a Mrs. Jacobs, asked for some fire, obtaioed if. am! went down tbe fane towards WilHams' farm. Mrs. Jacobs said there was something wron, he must bw watched. They followed him

and saw him enter the barn in a few moments the roof was a sheet of flames. .fared had been away from home that night be could not prove an alibi the witness was cross-questioned, but in all particulars appeared consistent, and

Jarcd l"vrkor was inund guilty of arson, and sentenced to the penitentiary lor eighteen years. Mrs. Jacobs had removed from the neighborhood : during the time intervening between the commission of the crime and the trial. Every possible exertion was made by Jared's friends to ascertain her where- ; abouts. but without ucics. and he was committed , m I bounties of her relatives. Every phantom of a rumor whir 1 cavo ciNim ion nl thr woman s residence. - was pursued bv Anne, in confidence that she should prove her husband's innocence, until further search seemed in vain; and it became the settled conclusion , that Mrs. Jacobs :ould no longer be among the livino- ! mg. , Twelve years had elapse'd -Jared Parker had yet . V , , e . , . 1 six to atone for the crime for which he stood con- 1 demned. Still he protested his innocence still he ; declared it would one day be proclaimed, He was a favorite with the officers of the prisori; his good conduct had secured him many favors, and at length reached the ears of the Governor of our ; Mate. He visited the prison, heart! Jared's story,! and resolved to institute search for the Mrs. Jacobs known the woman who testified against him, but had never taken the part described in the circumstances J : which secured his conviction, and believed that he mut have been the victim of a conspi-acy. To this ; effect she 'made the deposition immediately the facts 1 j were laid before the (Jovcrnor, and Jared Parker was j pardoned. Twelve years he had been a prisoner, under the bap of felon proscription twelve years his lamilv had been without its natural protector his home had irone into the hands of a stranger his lather had left in cha-gc of his household, when the officers of jutice hail dragged him from it ; his youthful energies were wasted he was dispirited and broken in constitution. But he had not suffered as deeply in lho.se mental agonies, whose canker gnawing give unnecessary pain, as one who hatl lived in the confi dence of a pleasant family, and had been privileged to enjov all the outward pleasures which wealth and standing in die improving country secured In a mansion of pride and legauce for a new country, where the forests were not yet cleared, nor all the fields in blooming cultivation, by a window that looked out upon the storehouse of the Williams' farm, on which the rain of twelve summers had not yet beaten, reclined a young man upon a couch, from which he never was to rise for year aller year his health had vated it was well nigh spent. An elderly lady bent over him. "What did you say, mother.1" "Jared Parker is pardoned he will be home tomorrow ihere are strange stories about, my son." For several moments the voung man's glazed eves were fixed with an unearthly stare upon his parent's countenance, one hand twitched the bed clothes ncrvou.lv, the other grafted the mother' wrist. "Mother, I am a villain," gated Herbert Wil liams; "I've a load here, mother," and he pressed his . 1 i. 1 hand U1K) his heart unti his breath was almost stoppen "a loail, inolheT; 1 have wasted it lor vears Mrs. D own's dead, or I'd make her tell it she was perjured. Jared's in'ioccnt I put the to ch to our 1 bu 11, uiotlie- 1 did it, mother, for revenge r. ii t. I can die note." His lips continued to move, but no sound fell from them; the mother bent over her son her feelings we would not attempt to depict in a few minutes his lips were closed, his brow was clammy, ihe dew? of ! death were upon it. The mother had a struggle to reveal the confession which exjiosed her son's deep guilt, bul circumstan--w ,.,en ,. it This confession came to Jared Parker and family with a welcome that did much to soothe their sorrows. "You forgive Herbe-t," said Anne. "He caused me twelve long years of deep suffering; I never harmed him. I would have thought him a friend but I forgive him all, and hope God w ill forgive him also," returned the husband. We have changed names in this story, but the circumstances are actual occurrences. We had the facts from the Governor who grantctl the pardon. He was much censured by partizans, lor the abuse of the pa :doning power, they knew not the influences that actuated his humanity. This tale teaches an important lesson be not deceived by appearances, judge not too hastily. From the Lou.sm.1c Courier.

Two of these petitions with the bill were presented to the Legislature, the proposition met with opposition and the bill was amended in a mauuer not asked for by the petitioners. At this stage of the proceedings, and before any final action in the matter, it was ascertained that in consequence of the petition from Putnam county, not having been received, and a number of new stoekholders who were not taken into the count, the petitions presented to the Legislature, did not contain the names of two thirds of the stockholders of the Company ; that, consequently, the matter was not legally liefore the legislature. That any enactment they mizht in. ike would be of no force ; and that the Compiny could not avail themselves of any amendments thus made. In view of this, and to prevent any misunderstanding in the matter. I immediately addressed a note to Mr. McCartv from Putnam county, a member of the House, informing him of the facts, with a request that he should täte the facts to the House, which I understand In- did. but the House being in one of those wavs which will not exist under the new Constitution, passed the bill as amended, declaring at the same time as I have been informeil that it was of no force and amounted to nothing j which as will be seen by the above statement of facts, was the truth. I have been thus explicit, lest some persons may be lead into error as to the law governing the Company. Indianapolis, March 4, I86t. R- B. DUNCAN". Account of the Passnge and Safety of the Steamship Atlantic. R. M. Steamer Africa. Feb. 13, 1S51. To the Editor of the A'. Y. Herald .In order to , prevent garbled statements of the recent accident to the I Atlantic Irom obtaining publicity, I take the liberty of sending you a correct narrative of lacts, compiled liom i tier log, and lor winch 1 can peisonaily vouch. The Atlantic left Liverpool on the 2Sth December, in tine steaming condition, aud without any apprehension on the part of her oiiicers in regard to the voyage. It w as blowing a strong gaie at the time of her departure from W. S, W., so much so as to render it impossible to 1 land her pilot. On the 2Jt'u December, at 9 30 P. M. she passed Cape Clear, and fairly commenced her home- 1 ward passage by plunging at once into a heavy head i sea, and slciuino strong westerly gales, which continued w ithout interin.ssiou lor the time following up to the day of the accident. On the 6th of January at noon, she was in lat. 46 12, long. 41 W., it Mowing strong gajes from W. N. W. At 6.30 P. M., the engines were stopped, as it was at first supposed, by the engineers on account of the breaking of tie eccentric strap to the starboard engine and, on examination, it was determined to go ahead again, working tht engine by hand ; but anolh-.-r revolution ol the wheels proved that the accident w as of a much more serious nature, the main shaft was lound i Token completely through, in a diagonal di- 1 rod ion. the bearing at (he starboard pillar block, and the additional turn after the trat stoppage, caused one iart of the shaft to lap over the other thus fracturing both pillar blocks, rendering the engines perfectly useless. I The ship was at once hove to under storm canvas, the wheels lashed, and all hands employed during the night, and lor the lollowiug day, in sending up hvr square yards, aud stripping her wheels of the Mil a ,task ' at once ditlkult und dangerous in a gale of w ind, and the decks covered with ice, but fortunately accomnlished without acti ideal.

In regard to the condui t of her passengers under such Irving circumstances, too much could scarcely lie said. Suffice it that they lore ' the misfortune with becoming fortitude and cheerfulness and testified, on leaving her at Cork, as much sympathy as those who have a more permanent interest in the good , Atlantic. The Atlantic had on board 5Ö0 tons ol freight ond a considerable quantity of specie, which the Cnnilia was chartered to bring over, and probably ailed from Cork on the 4th hist., direct for New York, lb the Africa l't, arrngements were making to tow the Atlantic to Liw vl. for the purpose of liemg repaired. This ill possibly require three months. The Africa brings her mails and passengers. R. W. SHUFELDT, Chief Officer.

He was required to giveknds to leave Ireland immediately, j pfow there is an Englishman traveling in this country, ; for the avowed purpose of Stirling up rebellion against; t!ie laws of the land denouncing our local institutions, Aa, doing everything in his power to exite a portion ol ; the population of the N01 ih, to resist, even lo bloodshed, 1 the ttuMic authorities, in executin of a law framed for the protection of the rights ami interests of the people of the Southern States. And this is not r nly tolerated, but a body guard is fnrnished him by the civil authorities, to enable him to fulminaie his abuse of mir country . without molestation, and to preach reltcllion asainst the laws, with impunity. Verily, this is a free country, but this is earring the idea of freedom rather too far. We think the utmost freedom to which this foreign emissary, (inj. Thompson, entitled, should be the liberty te leave the country without the addition of a coat of tar and feathers a boon which we are no, sure would be extended to him. if he did not prudently confine himself to ccrta:n localities, in the prosecution of his incendiary movements.
