Of eoiirse. this half way intelligence contributed still further to pique , f ; L ! i euno-itv, and Io render the unknown belle still more an object of marvel and of interest. The fact that mo one ain one- me throngs that dailv vi i, isited W a-h-motuii, lioui all p uts of ihe Union and ol the world, had ever seen her or Inmrd ol iter bifjte. a ho added to the rgcncral per(dexitc. Several young m?ii attempted to lav direet s..i z- to h- r heart and innumerable were the japonlcas and tin? serenades with which they endeavored to faeihiate iheir approaehes ; btit they f -i'ed from her no encouragement. She received their attentions with ' sad civ ilityJ" and. s.i soon as possible, got rid of llieit., and exerted her powers ol faeination over some iiiflu- trial member of (Jonoress. One morninjr I called upon her at Mr. F'ot'r. i. !l's. As L ascended tlie :uirs, in advance of the servant, I accidentally glanced at a mirror through the open door .fan apartment. A reflection of two figurM arres e ; mv attention, vne was tiie l.-dy I ha 1 come to vi-it; the illa r w as a young man, with fjatures wan but highly intellectual, and a somewhat attenuated fram -.

An (opposite door closed as Miss Smith ad . am i d io receive me, and I heard a dry, ominous cough proceed from the departing visiter. It seemed to fall heavily up n the lady's heart, for she slopped si.ort. prt s.-ed her hand to her eyes and heaved a sigh. Quickly rallying, however, she summoned a sweet eunile to her lips, and received me with kindness. Wo conversed a few minutes on different subjects, and 1 took c.n early leave. As I drove home to Gadsby ViT-riim 1 was more lost than ever in conjecture as to this exceedingly beautiful but mysterias young lady. Who could the gentleman be on whom she had lavished such tokens of endearment I Was he a lover or a husband ? If either, why did lie not i ".. J : .. . . :-...' o. : r i. : . accompany ner lino society : ver u ms health did not permit such indulgence, how could she quit him to become the cvnosnre of?, ball room ? Perhaps he was a brother. No. a sister could never have bestow ed such a look and such an embrace. What could it all mean ? A week after this interview, I called at the White House with a friend from England, who was desirous of an introduction to the remarkable man who then occupied the Presidential chair. We were receive ed bv Jemmy Grant, the Irish door-keeper, who, with all absence of ceremony which astonished my trans-Atlantic com panion, took us up stairs, and, pointing to ' - . . . . 1 - 1 r - i , the cabinet chamber sai l : ' toil win nnu the old man in tiiat room.' Aware of Jemmy s deffooti character, 1 entered without further question. The first object I saw was Miss Smith, lifting thz President's hand to her lip?, while an expression of earnest gratitude irradiated her face. She held a document with a seat, which looked like sonu? official comrabsion. Pwo or three members of Congress, who

had rppnrently accompanied her, werejty

present. On beholding the group, Idrsw back ; but, I was too late to escape observation. The President called upon me by nam 3 to enter; and Miss Smith turning at the same moment greeted me with inimitable grace. A call of the House !' exclaimed Jemmy Grant, in his gruff voice, thrusting bis head abruptly into the room, and as quickly u ithdrawing it. ' The serjeant-at-arms will be after us, exclaimed one oS the representatives. We are not wanted at the capitol,' said another. ' Will you not accompany us, Miss Smith, since wo cannot return to your home with you ?' Here is one to whose care you may coulido me. May thev not V said Miss Smith, turning to me. Of course I acquiesced, with many blessings upon Jemmy Grant for scattering the Congressmen. Introducing my friend to the Chief Magistrate, 1 gave my rm to the lady, aftil took our leave. When we were seated in the carriage, she exclaimed, pressing the parchment she held to her heart: ' At length I have succeeded! An explanation is due to you; for you were one of the few who have respected mv secret, and evinced no idle

curiosity. Do not look as if I were on the eve of rev ealing some great mystery ; for my story is a vcrv simple one. and can be old in a very few words I am from a very small and obscure village in the upper part of the State of New York, where 1 lived with my; husband, a young lawyer, until he was visited by a pulmonary alfectiou, which excited my constant anxiety. The physicians sai 1 there was safety in flight to a tropical d'rne. Our moans were too limited to allow of such a removal. At my suggestion, my husband viited Washington and made strenuous exertions to procure a small post under Government in ihe West Indies. He failed ; f r lie had never been a politician, and of course no political capital would accrue to ihe Administi ation by his appointment. I had read in universal history, as well as in that of the present rlvnasly, of the inlluenee of woman in affairs of State. 1 persuaded my husband to dispose of our little farm, and accompany me to Wash ington. e came, from the ctrcumstance of his illness. I eould not appear wt-li in societv otherwise than I did as a single young lady. I acquainted myself Willi the most prominent members of Congress; made them sharers of mv confidence ; interested them in my behalf, foul this day succeeded in procuring my husband's appointment to an excellent post in Soulh America. He is now in Georgetown, and has no hopes of mv suecess. Come and be a partner of our hap piness." Her eyes il ished with her elated feelings. An expression full of triumph and hope beamed from every feature. Never had she seemad half so beautiful. The carriage stopped and we alighted. A phvsician'a chaise was at the door. Mv companion did not c-eem to notice it, but ran up the steps in front of the house, and eagerly rang the bel'. Never shall I forget her face and figure, us she turned to me, while impatiently awaiting an answer to her summons, and e.xultmglv shook in her extended hand the parchment commission. The door was opened. What an expression of griefand commiseration is in that face ! It is Mrs. Bothwell. My companion paused suddenly, nnd gazed several moments, without speaking, in her eyes. Too well she read their story. The parchment drops from her hands; and with ihe moan of a breaking heart, she sinks back insensible in my arms. The commission had come too late ! The subject of it had been appointed to a higher post than any which human power could have established. Hut what became of the " unknown belle " Alas! never again was the bright saloon made brighter by her presence ! Never again were her sylph-like feet seen to twinkle in the mazy dance. Never again did that beautiful form (more beautiful than young sculptors picture in their dreams) attract the admiring eyes of a festive assembly ! Such was her devoted affection, that she soon followed its departed object to that happier land, where pure souls find their lasting reward. Fashion missed her, and aked.

Col. R. K. Johnson's Private Opinion of

Henry Clay. We find the following tribute from one Kentuckian to another, both before the public in connection with the same great national question, in a lato'number f the Richmond Whig. As a part of "the cast" now pending before the public, we give it place, nothing doubling it is perfectly authentic: Mr. Editor: I am opposed to the practice of giving publicity to fireside conversations, but when the leader of a great party, in a respectable company uf his fel-!ow-citiens, composed of both political parties, makes use of language either in praise or derogation of a political opponent, 1 consider it no breach of propriety to give his voluntary testimony to the world. On tlie HOtli of September last, Col. Johnson being in Staunton, Virginia, a number a gentlemen paid him the respect of calling to see him. One of the company remarked to him. "Colonel, when vdu reach tlie railroad junction, you will he near the Slashes of Hinovcr." The honest old w arrior's face immediately lit up with an expression of sincerity and pleasure, and he eloquently said: 1 should be delight -d to see that place. Every spot of ground -Henry Clay touches he immortalizes. I have been in public life for forty years, and in that time have been associated with all the great men of the country. Leaving out Madison and Gallatin, ho were old men when I first stepped upon the theatre of politics, I will will place Jefferson first, then Henry Clay. He is a perfect Hercules in all the qualities that can adorn human nature. Some men mav excel him in a single quality for instance, Webster may be a great er logician, or some may be more renowned for deep researches, but take Clay all in all, he has not an equal in the Union, either north or south east or west. In moral courage in oratory in patriotism, end in-everv noble quality, he is without a superior. I have been associated with him on committees in connexion with Calhoun, Lowndes, Cheeves, Webster, and other distinguished individuals, but Clay was always the master spirit. We looked up to him as the Ajax Ttdamon; and bv his council we were guided in tear deliberations. If the rest of ihe committee assembler! before him and were- in doubt how to proceed, when he made his appearance, all eyes were turned upon him and we wera certain to lie right when we followed his opinion. He is a great man, a very great man."

The roil of Representatives elected to the .8uiCongress having now been called by the Clerk, according to usage, and a quorum of members whose right to participate in the act of organidng the House of Representatives is undisputed having appe; red and answered to their names, this body is about to proceed to the high duty of electing a Speaker to fill an office which, in point of dignity and political consequence, is hardly second to any known to the Constitution, after that of President of the United States. He fore that high duty shall be entered upon, the undersigned, feelinc a sense of solemn obligation to truth antl of responsibility to ( lod for what we utter and assert, are constrained to declare that, in their united and undoubting conviction and judgement, a deep and grievoui wound, perhaps never to be healed, will bo inflicted on the Constitution, and on law, order, nnd civil liberty, if the election of a Speaker shall be conducted in the manner in which we have reason to apprehend it may be. Several persons from the State ot New Hampshire, namely, Edmund Hur ke, John P. Hale, Moses Norris, Jr., and John R. Reding; several persons, also, from the State of Georgia, namely, Howell Cobb. Hugh A. Haralson, and Absalom II. Chapped; one person from the State of; Mississippi, namely, Jacob T nompson; and several persons from the State of Mis souri, namely, James M. Lowiin, James M. Hughes, John Jameson, Gustavus M. Hower, and James II. Relfe, have been1 called by the Clerk, are now in this Hall, and have answered to their names in a manner to leave no doubt that their infe-i and purpose is to vote with the d"'v f! ed Representatives of the ' . .- present in the rl. mn ,; :;- ' to act and parti , ' y i . : ization of Reprt . e- i t ; , were members thei Hy the act of Co .; .-; ..'me- 2' di.i IS 12, "for the appoi m ,-r,.

The several States above named have refnsed or failed to provide by law for the election by Districts of Representatives from those States respectively to the 2Sth Congress, eacli of them being entitled to more than one Representative, and the people of those States have failed, there fore, to elect Representatives by districts, as the law of Congress required. These facts are notorious, indisputable. and undisputed; they are known to all and admitted by all. Failing to elect by. districts, thay have failed to elect at til. for all legal and constitutional purposes

They could not elect, because there were no districts in those Stales froui which to elect. Election by general ticket is no election. No existing and valid law authorized any such election to be held; and lio election, therefore, has been held in those Slates at which Representatives for tiie 'JSth Congress could be chosen. It is understood, nevertheless, thai the persons abo c named propose and intend to vote in the election for Speaker, on the ground that they hold return?, written certificates or commissions, drawn up m regular form, purporting to be the evidence of their election as Representatives. Wo hold that any returns they can- have do not give them any title whatever, when thev 3re considered in connexion with the known laws of the land. At the same tune, it is undoubtedly true that, by the Parliamentary law, returns or certificates in regular form, by authorized function -aries, made according to law. are, in ail cases, prima facie evidence c f election, and conclusive evidence of a right to assist in orgiiiizing the body to which persons are thus returned, and it is under color of this Parliamentary law, as wc understand, the persons above named prev.'.me to call them?-.

ti.iOiiO V Itut as no provision has been made bylaw for election by districts in these. States-, and no such election in fact '.eld, hovv could any officer or functionary m tii -st-States make a return of any such e'ection? And as these States arc' not tui'.horized by law to hold any election by general ticket, or otherwise than by districts., how can any fiicer or functionary therein be jiuthurized by latr to make a leturn of any.'uch election? We are not prepared to admit that any person from any of these States can has e in his pos-s-ion any legal documentary pro.d it h;s election as a representative for the 2 th Congress.
