Was not that enterprise in that wild region? That he might lose no time, he sent his family on with the train, retain ing a riding horse, with which he intended to follow In a few days; and while he accumulated gold and silv er, Mrs. 'Wilder and hor , children traveled on towards the Rocky Mountains. A week —ten days—two weeks passed, and Wilder did not overtake them. But at last his two hired men, Mai nly and gears, came along on horse back, say i lig that Wittier would come up the next day; and then pushed on ahead of the train with singular haste. Abram Wilder NMI never seen again. Five years finessed. In the sum mer of 1554 the mining post of For est Hill in Placer county, Californ ia, had its population augmented by the arrival of a new family consist ing of a woman, a boy of twelve and a daughter of eightyears. The woman, who had a pale, wea ry looking face, was Mrs. \Vifder, and she had toiled hard for those chil dren during the List five years. She had spent most of this time in Sacra mento, where she had done washing and all sorts of hard work; hut suf fering from agile, she had resolved to go up into the mountains. I ler boy, tieOrge, was particularly in favor of this, declaring that he would dig gold and make them all rich. On the second evening after their arrival at Forest Hill a good natured miner mine strolling by their tent and wens t e d Mrs. Wilder. who, f 1.4 it was very warm, sat outside. "(bust evening, ma'am," he said, politely. She returned his greeting court eously. "I is late now," said he, "to offer my assistance. I would have come round and helped you to put up your tent, if I had known you were alone with those children: - Is'nt your hus band living, ma'am ?" "No _he is dead." And a shade erossetl her pale face, as she recalled the Platte river and the prairies. Then she recounted the whole pain ful history, telling how she had wor ked in Sacramento, saying that she was willing to wash for the miners, and that her boy was determined 'to dig for gold. "I hope you'll get along well, ma'am," said the good natured fel low; "and your boy shall have every show. Washing* is hard work, but if you want to do such work for a while, till ) 7 hur hoy strikes it rich, you will find plenty to do, and every man in camp will pay you well." "Thank you," said the woman, de lighted at the 'prospect. "I am very willing to do the work. I feel BO much better up here already. I should have died if I had stayed in Sacramento." , "It's an unhealthy place, I know," paid he, "but it will be renovated in time. By the way, you needn't be frightened, but I must tell you that thieve+ prowl about our camp. They've - been going it for some time and we can't catch them." Mrs. \Vllderwas somewhat start led. "Oh. don't be scared!" said- he. "They're not dangerous. They are the sneaking kind. They only pick up things slyly, and get out of the camp as soon as possible. - They've been seen, but always escaped. Joe. Harris saw them one nightlast week and say& they're Indians. It won't be good for them it they're caught." "What would be done with them?" "Oh, they'd be himg, of course! We folks hate stealing; and it's the only thing any one -has ever been hone for at Forest Hill." ' "Would they come into our tent?' asked Mrs. Wilder. "Oh, no! They Might reach in at the door, or under the canvass to see what they could carry off , but they are Mighty sly.", "If they come here, mother." put n the little boy, "1 1 11 kill them with he ax." "What could you do, George? they're big men you know." "l'd fight them, anyhow," he said bravely. "Good my boy!" said the miner. You'll be the right kind of a man whpn you grow up. But of muse you'r's not - very strong yet. If the "robbers trouhle you just yell. That wiaild do more good than your ax. It %could rouse the camp; and if you should be the means of getting them cx►ught, I'd raise a collection of five httrdred dollars for you before the breath should be fairly out of their bodies." The ruiner stood talking with the Wilders till the sun had set—then he sauntered on. "1r I can do anything fur you or the ; children." !=a1(1 he at parting, "let flue know. My name is Tom Co(k. I live in that cabin over there, just next to the one with the sign of 'Choke Liquors.' . There is a mess of us—six." Mrs - . Wilder thanked him, and when'he had walked away ithe took - fer hanakerehief\ tmd wiped away F Orn9 tears that were gathering in her eyes. -The kind voice of that blunt, 'honest man had touched some ten der chord in her heart, and she wept —she knew net why. It was far, far in the night. The moon had not risen till eleven, and it was now away up in the bright sky, so that it could look down Into the brightest canon. The 'Wliders had lain awake for hours talking about the robbers, which seemed to have made an unusual impression ou them, but at last dozed off into uncon scious rest, and the whole camp was wrapped in sleep. The children slept soundly. but Mrs. Wilder was restless, and awoke fronuently from half feverish dreams. When I relate the singular circum stances that occurred before the morn ing I do not claim that they were di rected by supernatural agencies; nor do- I assert that they were not. I *lmply tell the story. It was between three and four o'clock when Mrs. Wilder seemed to .fall into a deeper slumber than she had enjoyed that night. But it was not free from dreams. Thus far she had dreamed only of the mysterious - robbers of which Tom Cookliiid told her ; now her visions wandered away back over years. Again she was on the Platte river; again she saw her husband—so distinctly—building his ferry ; again she bid him good-Ve, and traveled on over the prairies; kirk), she saw the Rocky Mountains loom up in the distance. But here.the dream made a digres sion. Seat-Sand Mal lily did not come now ; but instead of them came Abram Wilder. She flew to meet him, but stopped, for her husband wore such a strange look on his face. Tie stood still, waved her off, then pointed to the grass at her feet. She looked,„down and saw a grave open, saw her husband lying in it, with a ghastly wound on his head ; saw two men hastily filling the grave up. They were his hired men—Sears and Math y. With a scream that must have wakened every sleeper at Forest Hill, Mrs. Wilder started up from her rude couch, now fully awake. and In the dim light she saw a shadowy figure standing a few feet from her, with a hand still pointing at the earth, for it was the same figure she had seen In her dream. It stoodperfeetly mo tionless for a couple of seconds, then vanished. -c.-arr.ttratstAttsatsintl§,..sati..4 „fast PLALINa. ettliforlda life. r, 1849 a long the .banks ;he way -to regions of had meow journey from "so the Pacific and they le till means the river. dlscus.seci. , 'ethers of a If moving up a ford might device met was II young Wilder. who, children—a ' the setting It home. honest thrifty make money generally a IV, and it °e very ferry train, nam assist him, trees and These he ig them with orming a float weight of a one of the elan ting sicies of the tent, on which the moon was shining, and they too, disappeared. simultaneous ly with the sound of retreating foot• steps without; while something fell with a clatter inside the tent, as though It had actually dropped through the canvass. "What's the matter, mother?" ask ed George, springing up and seizing his six. At the same time his little sister cried out in her terror : "Oh, it's the robbers! They'll kill us!" and she added a wail to the gen eral confusion. Hush, child !" said Mrs. 'Wilder, who trembled so that sheeould hard ly speak ; "they've gone away." "Oh, they'll come back—l know they will !' George had hurried on his chithes, and he rushed boldly out of the tent, with his weapon, uttering a loud shout. Miners bounded from their tents and cabins on all .sides, and hurried to the scene. One or two of them caught sight of two Indians making off into the woods. Mrs. Wilder struck a light with tremulous hands, and hastily attired herself. "What's the matter? Is that you sonny asked the first miner, hur rying up. It was Torn Cook. "Yes, sir," replied George. "'no robbers have been here. Mother heard them, and I heard them run ning away." Mrs. Wilder came out.

" flay be you only imagined it, then?" suggested Tom Cook ; while the miners were hurrying up in all directions. " No she didn't," said George, ea gerly. "I heard them!" " \'ou bet she didn't !" exefaimed one ul the miners excitedly. for he had caught the hurried conversation as he came up. " I saw them golie for the woods; and theyr'e darnid sneakin' Indians; I'd swear it!" The crowd and the excitement in- Tom Copk was standing where he could peer Into the tent, and he no ticed that there was a rent In one side. " What's that, Mrs. Wilder?" he risked, as he stepped to the door and pointed to the aperture. Mrs. Wilder looked. "Why, it's been cut!" she said, as tonished. Cook went round on the outside, with a number of others, and exam ined the point of interest. Yes, the canvas had been ripped with a knife. By this time the whole camp had gathered around the tent of the Wit ders, and as they learned the partic ulars, loud imprecations were invok ed on the unknown robbers. All was hubbub and confusion. Suddenly a scream was heard in the tent. A rush was made (pr the door. Had one of the robbersconcealed him self within, and had Mrs. Wilderjust discovered him? If so, Heaven help him. No, thew , stood Mrs. Wilder, gaz ing with a terrified air at something she had picked up near where the rent had been made—and now, with a shudder, she let it fall again at her feet. "What is it? What's the matter?" was asked ; and Torn Cook, followed by others, waived ceremony and en tered the tent, while George with his ax was without. answering the hur ried queries of new-comers. "Oh, Lord of . Heaven !" exclaimed Mrs. Wilder, '• my murdered hus band has been here this night! I shall soon go to him I know!•lt's a warn ing! Oh, Abram! Abram!" Scarcely knowing whether to con skier - the woman sane or not, Tom Cook advanced and picked up the object that lay at her feet. ARGUS.

It warn peculiar, old-fashioned knife, with a brass platoon Which were en graved the Initials "A. W." "It was my husband's knife," saki Mrs. Wilder, while a tremor niji through her Entine. ns Int Tee uteri stared at each Other. • Tice lirk 'thought that went the' ruuuds was to the effect th a t the ghost ofllAbrani Wilder had visited the widow, and left this articlet hat she Might recognize it; but that Idea' was soon dispelled by the 11'111M:who!) had seen two indlnw Then, Mrs. WildeenTipsiii •Co k, who did not like to give up the gliwit t heory entirely.

This idea was received with gen eral favor, and while a confusion of voices disvussed the matter, the moon paled and gray morning came over the mountain.

I don't say he's been here at any bad tricks. His name's Mainly !" "What !" exclaimed Mrs. Wilder starting as though she had trodden on a serpent. " Mallity ? Where— where is he?" "At Bear• Gap." "Do you know him, ma'am?" ask ed Tom Cook. "He is one of the very men I told you of last evening, Mr. Cook. One that I always thought murdered my husband! I know it now, and this knife is his condemnation." Thereupon she briefly related her story to Tirrell, and others who had heard it before. "Cain it be that this man has been coming all the way from Bear-Gap, week after week, to rob us?" asked Tom Cook. " But. how about the Indians ?" aqked another. " They may have been disguised. Who could the other he, Tin - ell." "Don't know, unless it is his bunky. Another man and he live together in a cabin at Bear-Gap." " Who :s the other?" asked Mrs. Ni Ider. "Sears is his name." " Oh, Heaven!" exclaimed Mr. Wilder, "the very names! They are two men who murdered and robbed my poor husband on the plains, and that is the wa3t this knife came here. Oh, shall they eseape,unpunished ?" "No! no! not by a jug full! Not i they're in Bear-(ap or in Califor nia," was shouted on all sides. " Let's track them home,—hunt them down! Who's ready?"

"Yes, yes!" she exclaimed wildly, " I know you, Sears—Mallity—you killed my husband ! You know it ! May you meet with the mercy he received at,your foul hands!" Her voice was raised almost to a scream, and she waved her hands in an excited way, as invoking the ven geance of heaven. Yea, the vision from the plains— the ghilliof the murdered man that had come into the mountains, and carried the dreaming widow back to the Platte river—that had roused her from her slumber with a shriek that startled the marauders while in the act of cutting their way into the tent, causing them to drop the tell-tale knife—was the means of hunting down the camp-robbers, and their days were numbered. A search it their quarters at Bear- Gap had disclosed a considerable quantity of gold dust which they had evidently stolen, for-they had never been known to dig much; but worse than all. snugly rolled up and packed at the bottom of a sack that was filled with other things, were two complete Indian outfits—featbers, belts, long, black hair, and materials for staining the face. Disguised as Indians, the two villirms—Sears and Mallity, the murderers of Abram Wilder—had been robbing the various camps in that vicinity for months. Before sunset that evening they eon fes.-ged all—including the murder of Wilder—and the gathering shad ows of night frowned on two silent figures that were dangling hideously from the boughs of a tree. Mrs. Wil der was avenged! But she spoke prophetically when shesaid her loved companion had called her.

A DDIT .ON ENCH•" Rich and Racy Derelopment—Alleged Speculating Operations of Hart ranft and Mackey in S:ocks, with the Public Funds. The New York ,Sioi of Wednesday last, contains a page and a half of in temiti ng developments of, the specu lative efforts of ilartrinitt, the Aud itor General of this State and Repub lican candidate for Governor, and our State Treasurer, Robert W. Mackey, .Which are of sufficiently startling in- Jer.t.l3t to command the attention of ;the people of this Commonwealth. The docUtoents appear in an appar ently anOtittle shape, being nu less than an' autograph letter of Johtt F. Hartranft in his own bandwrijog aid ;signed by his own proper aigna ture-an autograph letter of R. W. StaOtey and accompanying draft for s2oiooo made by the Sudo Treasurer. officially, to lift, as alkwed, a person al note given by said Mackey to prc cure his election as Stato Treasurer. It would appear from the statement above referred to, and froni the data given in the details narrated, that these gentleman officials were engag, &I in stock speculatious'on their own private account, to over one . , million of dollars, 'mid that the vetolle funds Were used and imperilled in the pur suit of this money making enter prise, which, however, ended in lutes to the speculators and also in :begun viction of Yerkt., their , agent, and seape-goat, and ills imprisonment for a term-of two years al.d nine months in the Eastern penitentiary. The details of these black transac tions are of so dark a hue that even the plastic whitewashing of Auditor Ilartranft by our meek and amiable Christian friend, Deacon White, can not cover them, nor can the nmst subtle ingenuity of our erratiefriend of the Commercial obliterate them. But we have neither time nor space to follow the Sun in its elaborate de tails. Those who can obtain ael'ezi.s to the columns of that paper will be richly repaid for their perusal as it will open their eye. to the depravity of public men in high places, and the atssolute necessity for reform. The Sun says : "In attempting to trace the pro ceeds of these operations, by which the State of Pennsylvania has been so heavily fleeced since her affairs fell Into the keeping of these men, the discovery is made at the outset that dishonest gains seldom benefit anybody. The Ring early entered into some sort of an arrangement with a young private banker of Phil adelphia named C. T. Yerkes, Jr . , in whom they had reason to repose trust, possibly because 1w was Willing to wink at their rasealities, and share the profits of their plunders thus placing hini , elf on a footing with them as robbers of the Com monwealth. By this arrangement an indefinite amount of the funds of the State was placed on deposit in Yerkes' hands, to be used by him on speculations fur the benefit of Hart ran ft and Mackey. They may aim) have placed some of their stolen funds in his hands, though I have thus far I have failed to dismver that they ever made any considerable pri vale deposits with him. But, al though the accounts show that their stock transactions amounted to mil- lions of dollars, the margins were as Yerkes swears, drawn from Alie State funds in his keeping. T4e ;impu dence of the fellows wdriStirther than this. As Conarnissioners of the Sinking Fund they used that sacred trust for their advantage, buying up the bonds of the State at the bust bar g!ins they could make, paying for r t-wi with public funds deposited with Yerkes, and then .e l " ^ " T" - tal •i ntivaneed price, and poc k eting the profits. The affidavits of Mr. Yerkes, printed below, fully establish this system of fraud. "Having these ample facilities for speculation they went in heavily, and apparently got along swimming ly until the failure of the Fourth Na tional Bank of Philadelphia omision ed a weakness, soon followed by a temporary collapse of the stock mar ket, precipitated by the calamitous fire at Chicago, when all. the public funds they could muster wereabsorb ed in margins, and still their poor broker Yerkes was unable to float them or himself through. In this emergency the TreaSurer of the city of Philadelphia, Joseph F. Marcer, was appealed to, and Liane to their aid with a temporary l(atn to Yerkes or a special deposit, which amounted to the same thing, of $300,000. This was a relief, and would probably have carried theta safely through, but that Marcer got frightened, and without notice or warning, burst the thing completely, and Yerkes went up, and his books, accounts, and as sets went into the hands of a receiver in bankruptcy. Here was a pretty kettle of fish! Here was the depot tart' of the State funds a bankrupt and his office, with all its damaging records, in the hands of the law. Chen what a scattering there was "Ilartranft disappeared in one di rection. Mackey in another, while their friends surrounded poor Yerk es on every hand, beseeching him to shoulder the responsibility and keep mum. It was very sr ion seen that the State funds had been used in speculations, which is a criminal of fence in the eyes of the Pennsylvania statutes. Proceedings were (prompt ly begun against Yerkes, who was ar rested and indicted for this misuse of the public money. and with him the Philadelphia Treasurer, who had precipitated the calamity and last Isis money as well. Yerkes' books, according to instruction. had been so kept as to render obscure the part Ilartranft and Mackey had in the business, and if he would consent to keep still they were safe. But if he ever opened his mouth they were sure to accompany him to the peni tentiary. In this trying crisis they prudently kept out of sight, but kept their friends constantly about t he ex ploded banker, begging him to say nothing. But Yerkes' only defence and escape from the penitentiary was. in letting the truth be known, and he knew it. And so he answer ed Hartranft's and Ma key's appeals through their friends, protesting loudly against going to prison as a vicarious sufferer for theirs ins. This they assuretthim by everything goisi and holy he should not do; that they would we that he did not suffer if he would only protect the two fugitives. He finally promised to assume the odium and spare them if their friends would insure him against incareera tion in the penitentiary- This they readily agreed to do, and even pro duced a written promise that in case of eon v ict ion and sentence het\ erkes) , should be pardoned before he could be put in prison. On this pledge Yerkes stood his trial and remained quiet. He was convicted, of course, and sentenced to a term of two years and nine months in the penitentiary.- He took t all heroically, having faith in the written pledge which the friends of Hartranft and Mackey had shown him. Even when the sheriff came, to conduct him to prison, he started off cheerfully, assuring his keepers -that the Governor's message would overtake them with his pardon be-" fore they could reach their gloomy destination. But no monger over took them, and poor Yerkes was turned over to the custody of the warden of the penitentiary. That official was so assured by the prison er's abiding confidence that he would he promptly pardoned that ho re irained for several days from locking THE BEATER AEGUs republished every Wednesday - In the old Argus building on Third Street, Bea - ver, Pa., at 112 per year in advance.
