"Go on, r on," cried Franz, hurriedly;
"see, there in a lostcript. It is in he,
mother's handwriting, and she speaks
more plainly."
The old man did goon, and read thus:—
"I am in a state bordering on destruc

"The case is now altered," said the old
man, calmly, as he folded up and returned
to Franz the letter. "It is written 'There

approach to passion as near as seemed
compatible with his subdued anti rugged
nature; "without it, I proceed not in this

them, burst with a crash which seemed to
rend the hills to their foundations. The
lightening flashed bright and blue, ren
dering every object for an instant distincts

flash or the sound repeated. The friends
looked up. and beheld the sky rapidly
clear itself, and the stars shine forth with
a splendour, which even in the depth of,

"Behold," said the old man, solemnly,
"thy vow is heard, and registered in heav

Having uttered this, he took his cloak
from his - shoulders, and casting it over his
young companion, desired him to wear it
as a disguise. For himself, he added,
there was no need of concealment; hut as
Franz's return to the country was un
known, it was advisable to keep the event,
secret as long as possible. He then shout

at the top of his voice, but in a tone which

Franz, while the punt was making its way
leisurely towards them. "What will it

The itintiny on board of the
!Brig Braganza.
As the wretches who committed the di-I1
ibolical outrage on board this ill starred 1
vessel are daily expected in the barqne
Shepherdess, from Hamburg, the follow- '
tug statement' of the occurence, afforded I
to us by Mr. Robert Moir, second officer '
en beard that vessel, may prove interest. '
in;---Many of the papers stated that Me. '
Moir was coming on here to give- his tee '
timonv, but we beg to inform them that '
Mr. Midi is now in this city, and has been
here for three months. The statement '
riven by Lire to our reporter is as follows: '
On the 7th of July, 1838, we sailed
from Philadelphia bound to Genoa, with a
cargo of sugar from I onto Rico. We had
sailed from the latter port originaliy for
Genoa, but put into Philadelphia in dis
tress. On the 1 lth we passed the Capes,
having on board as passengers, Mr. Diehl,
the owner and his lady; and Mrs. Turley
the lady of the Captain: and after a fine
passage, without any occurence to mar
our pleasure, we made the Western Isl
ands on the 16th day.
On the 24th, about 52, P. M. it being
then my watch below, 1 was asleep in my ,
state room, and was awoke by the cries of ,
murder proceeding from on deck. I im- ,
mediately rushed up, and the first thing I
saw was the chief mate Mr.Vanderslice, ,
lying on the deck, so disfigured with
wounds about his face, that I could scarce
,ly recognize him. I next saw captain
Turley, engaged in the starboard waist ,
with the crew, who were attacking him
with knives, 4-c. I seized a belaying pin
from the rack, and rushing in, struck one
man named Alms, over the temple, and he
fell to the deck, with myself on top of
him. While in this situation he drew a
sheath knife, and attempted to stab me„
and before I could get on my legs I mew- ,
ed several severe blows on my shoulder ,
and head with a handspike. On getting ;
on my feet, three of the crew seized me, i
and having previously unshipped the star- I
board gangway, (where cargo is taken in)
they attempted to throW me overboard. I
Just as I was losing my balance, I caught ,
Aims by the collar, and we went over
board together, both catching hold of the
after gay of the lower steering sail, which ,
was set at the time. At this time, the .
crew had thrown the chief mate down in .
the cabin, where he lay almost dead, one I
side of his face being completely cut off. ,
A line was thrown to Akins, who got on
board, and as I made efforts to do the
same two of tire men seized handspikes
, and broke my right arm. While I was in
this situation hanging in the water, Capt.
Turley went into the cabin for a cutlass,
and as he returned on deck, the crew left
me and made for him; but he cut one man
severely over the head. I then crawled
on deck, and saw Captain T. lying on the
deck, held down by two men, while three
were aiming blowS at him, two with knives
, and one with a hatchet. He begged them )
to spare him for his wife's cake, and prom
, ised to forgive all they had committed thus,
far.
I then went down into the cabil, where
I found Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, and Mrs.
'Turley, in the greatest terror, and while I
!vas there, they closed the doors, and fas ,
tened, t! , em.down. In a few moments we
head a body'fall .nto the water, and on
looking oui pf tho'cahin windows, we saw
Captain Turley in Ihe act of drowning.
The crew then got a chain cable mit of the
after hatchway, and piled it on sky
light, and then nailed boards over the ,
dead lights, so as to exclude all light from
that quarter. They took in steering sails,
and tacked ship, steering to the west.
In this dreadful situation we remained
fall night, not knowing what the wretches
'might next choose to do, and at daylight
they hailed us over the tafi-rail, and order
ed us to hand up the nauticle instruments,
watches, jewelry &c. This we refused to
do unless they would state their inten
tions with regard to us. They then low
ered a plank over the taffrail, by two guys,
and by this means cloned the cabin wino
dews, leaving us in total darkness. In r.
few minutes, we found the cabin filled'
with smoke, which gradually grew so dense
that we were nearly suffocated, and I pro.'
cured a gimblet and bored a hole in the
hatchway so as to get some fresh air, and
through that hole I saw stroke coming
from the main hatchway, they having kin
dled a fire in the after hold, in a barrel
full of shavings. We hailed them for ten
or fifteen minutes, but receiving no ans
wer,, thought they must have set fire to the
'vessel, and then left her and us to our tate.
Finally, when we were nearly dead with
I sufflacation, they answered our hale, and
asked us if we would comply with their
demands. and give up the instrummts,
&c. We replied we would, it they would
give us some v , ater. They then let down
the cabin windows, and having lowered a
bucket we placed in it the chronometer,
two gold watches, the ladies jewelry, and ,
a small amount in money, and they gave
us some water. This water, however was
poisoned, as I soon discovered, for it af
fected me so to drink it, that for two days
I could scarcely keep awake. After
wards, they sent us down some good wat
er. Nothing particular occurred for the
next five days, clueing which time we kept
a light burning, and by watching the com
pass, and judging from the appearance of
the water under the counter, we managed
to - keep a kind of log and could form some
opinion of the vessels position.
On the thl day, however, we were hail
' ed, and told that we had fire arms below,
and if we did not give them up, they
would let us do without water and die of
thirst. We promptly agreed to throw
them overboard, it they would give us
water, as they were only two old muskets
perfectly useless, from the fact that we
had no powder or shot on board. During
these five days, we could hear vessels fre
quently in company with us, but had no
possible means of informing them of our
situation. On the 7th day of our confine
went, they hailed us, aiid asked me to
come on deck, and after parleying for
several hours I consented, but they after
wards changed their minds, and wanted
to see Mr. Diehl. Mr. D. Consented to
o, if they would allow his wife to come
up also—to which they agreed, and they
went on deck. As noun as they reached
the deck, Mr. D. asked me to come up,
which I did, and they showed me the run
of the vessel, and asked me to determine
where she was. I found that their calcu
lations differed very much from those ta
ken by myself in the cabin, but having
Aiken the proper obsarvati us, I gave
them the proper latitude and lo :gitude,
and the course which would take thorn to
the gritish Channel.
They then said there was a sail in sight,
and if we wished a chance for our lives,
we could have the jolly.boat. This, how,
ever, we positively refused, as we knew
she could not live five minutes in such n
sea ns was then running—but we begged
for the long boat, and after 5 or 4 haws
consultation, they agreed to give her to us.
Accordingly at 2 P. M. Mr. and Mrs.
Diehl, Mrs. Turley and myself, got into
the boat, which had been got out for us,
and we begged hard to have the chief mate
who was then - dying from the luck-jaw.
but they refused most peremptorily, and
we were forced to shove off. Just as we
were passing the stern, the steward, who
was confined in the forecastle the whole
time, sprang over the railing into the boat
with us. In the boat we found a keg of
water, some boiled beef, &c. they having
prepared her for themselves, in case of
emer g ency. The brig was then steering'
N. N. E. and we steered S. B. by E., ho
ping to make Cape Finisterc; and at 5 P.
M. we lost sight of the brig, and were
left alone upon the ocean in a leaky boat,
she having been severely strained in get
ting her out.
The conduct of Mrs. Diehl throughout'
the whole of this disastrous proceeding,
was most heroic, and would shame many
who are accustomed to place too little faiths
in woman's courage. While in the boat,
she exhorted her companions to keep their
spirits up, and she took her turn at bail
ing the boat with a hat, until she was com
pletely exhausted. None of those in the
boat had time to take away any clothing,
the ladies were not allowed even their hats.
At daylight the next day, we saw a sail
to the eastward, and steered for her; but
after five hours' chase, she passed us with
out seeing us, although we were so near
we could see the men upon her decks. In
the afternoon we discovered a sail to the
westward and made for her, and after 4
hours anxious solicitude, she saw, & bore
down for us, and took us on board. She
proved to be the brig liebden, Captain
Fouler, from Sicily, bound to Greenock;
and to say that Capt. F. did all in his
power to alleviate our suffering, would be
saying too little.
e arrived safely in Greenock, where
the above facts were male known prompt.

HARRISBURG, Bth MARCH, 1859.
FRIEND BENEDICT,
I
Being intimate with'
the deputy Secretary, and one of his
clerks, I dropped in when the Governor
was out, to have a little chat with those
state digititaries. circumstances often
favors mischief, and temptation has led
men to commit errors that are very cen
surable. Like old mother Eve .1 was
tempted. Among the papers scattered
about, I observed one, thrown aside seem
ingly as waste paper; partially unfolded
read at the head "proposed message," in
hand writing familiar to me, having so
often seen the fac simile of a receipt of
his. With some exertion and conning, I
succeet:ed in possesing myself of said
document, and have furnished you with
it verbatum et !iteration so far as it can be
deciphered. It appears to have been
written under excitement. In part as
stoles the form of a message—and part
seems to be some code notions of policy,
addressed to his cabinet--as whole it is
quite anomalous. It is as follows:
Proposed Message.
GENTLEMEN:—In pursuance of an act,
Sze., passed the 26th January last, enti
tled "an act authorizing a loan," I issued
'a notice through my Secretary, that I
would receive proposals for in iking to the
State a loan of 81.200,000 to pay debts,
not of my contracting, but incurred
through the indiscretion of my predeces
sors, Messrs. Wolf and Ritnec. When I
say "not of my contracting," I do not
mean that I am not the firm friend of In
ternal Improvement, or that I did not ad
vocate and vote for the expenditure of a
goodly portion of those debts. I had
'substantial reason then for my course.
I regret to say that no proposals have
been received in pursuance of my invita
tion, at a time too when it is conceeded
that money is not scarce, and the credit of
the State hitherto unimpeached. (Here
then follows a portion evidently addressed
to his cabinet.)
Mcm. In looking round for reasons to
account for this unprecedented occurrence,
I am at a loss to decide which are the be,t
that can be offered. It would be so high
ly drsco•tcous to use, I' cannot believe
that my former insolvency, and continued
rcfusal to pay my own debts would have
any effect on money leaders, shun the'
State is my security. It may be want of
confidence in our party, is the reason. I
indiscretely in my inaugural, hinted at.
the remote contingency of annulling Bank
Charters." This was only a little humbug
for the ignorant, who believe in the metal
lic currency. Those who know the facts
as well as you and I do, would know that l i
such a contingency, would be very remote,
unless I first sold my own Bank stock. If
it has been construed to injure the credit
of the Slate, it must have been by those
who know nothing of politics, and think
that politicians are honest, and who look
upon the power of the strong party to an
nul contracts without the consent, and to
the prejudice of the interests of the weak
party, as a dereliction of honest princi
ples. This taken together with the alleged I
unconstitutional organization of the Leg
islature, which is thought by many. may
render void the laws of this session, may
I%;tv6 some weight."
“Another reason, and I hope the true
one, is the difficulty with England, on the
subject of the Maine boundary, and the
total inability of the General Government
to pay its current. expenses without issu
ing Treasury notes; a course which howev
er much we deprecate, we must sustain,
and I fear adopt in Pennsylvania or resort
to taxation, which would he very
unpop
ular:”
IVe can raise the "ways and means"
one way. The State owns $2,108,700 in
Bank stock, which yield from seven to ten
per cent. or from $150,000 to V 200,000
' per annum. I would recommend a sale
of this, though it would furnish n moral to
the Fable of "killing the goose that layed
the golden egg," but un fortunately I men
tioned in a former address, that "no inci
dental flow of money into the Treasury
could be contemplated." Poor men can
not lend, but if you will "take the respon.
sibility," I will abuse rich ►nen, and men•
ied institutions, and thus render them so
unpopular as to induce the unsuspecting
majority to agree to a sole of the stock
I owned by the State. As some of our own
friends are rich, I will connect the Banks
and the rich in such a way that they will
lay all the blame on "Bank Whigs," and
"Federal Aristocrats." Some of my
friends have said 1 was rich. This must
be a mistake, it is only two or three years
since I held any property in my own name.
If I have a little it is some of my own
savings. I never alter what I have said,
(for I must be particular about n
ty now) nor can I submit to ask
the U. S. Bank, notwithstanding
liged to lend at 4 per cent., b .
