Confessions of a Victim.
1 am thc-nnly qon of reputable and wealthy
parents.. Early in life 1 entered into a mer
cantile house in Now York for the purpose
of acquiring a knowledge of the business,
preparatory to commencing, on my own re
sponsibility, a mercantile .career; yAt this
lime I’was eighteen, and had but recently
returned from my academic studies at New
Haven. My person at that early period was
good; my mind pi lished by education, and
Iny manners if not graceful were easy. I
was glad of heart and ambitious of distinc
tion—eager for the reputation, of integrity,
and an enthusiast in my admiration of gen
ius. My associates were reputable ami the
sons of gentlemen; the prospect before me
was excellent, and my life gltded onward
like a placid stream.
It was within a left- weeks of iny nine
teenth birthday, that I,became acquainted
with .Amelia Montfort. She'was a being of
perfect virtue,..of, transcendant beauty, and
of uncommon mind—had an eye for the
beauties of nature, ‘ And ,a soul for the'spell
of poetry.' She-was three years my junior!
hen beauty rather in the blossom than the
bud, and her intellect mure remarkable for
its imagination than for its power, She had
mingled little in society —knew less of the
heartlcssness. of mankind—and Her 'heart
jv.ns_lhe-.tcmplc..of:.enlluisiastic..and-- ardent,
but of hallowed feelings.
For niyself, I had mingled much in female
society; had passed niany “a thin rod lip,”
and bowed before many a rich dark eye.-
But Amelia teas a glad creature, a A'gni in
"enpuityra^^hen
was even blended with esteem. Minted in
her, temperament, also,-there Was a tinge of
, Kl „l a nce—it was the romance rather ol de
even when her affections were hoarded .up.tn
the sanctuary-of her own pure bosom, she
acknowledged their burning intensity, and
confessed the idolatry which would mingle
in her love. In brief, 'Amelia became the
beau ideal of my fancy, and .ere t khew her
niany months I was her worshipper.' 1 :
*' My thoughts wisre bound.tip in the frenzy
of. niy feelings—affcction had imparted ta
my character a new tinge, and to. my habits
another - current. In my mommUning with
that beingVr was supremely happy. 1 There
was enchantment in the very atmosphere she
breathed—my.dreams caught their delirious
raptures froni. her tnemory.aml my waking
thoughts, dwelt constantly upon Amelia.—
She was Worthy of,all my regard—worthy of
allmy devotion—-and every hour seemed’
tiut to unfolu some .. estimable trait in her
charactei*. * . , V -
v When I war twenty years of age, we were
married. My father relinquished his busi
ness in myfuvor, and life glided, on for. an
other year, all sunshine and’happiness. ■ g

It.was many months before my wife could
bring herself .to tjie. conviction, that ! was a

broken up the inmost recesses of my- soul—
I, that was applauded'for mjr integrity, hon

character! how could she deem mea drunk
ard—a loathed and contemptible sot—adis
gracefo my name, and a disgrace to human

od upon a truth so horrible, and endeavored
to 4>tu t out from her senses and her under-
startling' tire blackness of my guilt. Oh
God! bow that being clung to and worship
ped me, even amid the abject contumely of
my degradation, flow she flung amid: the.'
wretchedness other despair, to the.hope that
I might yet'be retrieved. How she wept,
and persuaded, and endeavored to fascinate
mo back to my domestic enjoyments, and to
keep hie even fot one night, from the-dens
of iniqdity and the revelry of crime! How
she “threw her

<lt was probably three years after my Car
riage that I became a bankrupt—the pro
gress, of any debasement front that period
was rapid; I gave myself completely up to
intemperance. The intoxicating'draught o
perated upon my mind, like some bewilder
l ing spell of infatuation. 1 was unable to re
sist its influence, I was unable to turn away
fiom the tide sf ignomy which was hurrying
me to the vortex of destruction. My mind,.
though it did not actually decay seemed
somewhat affected with my body.—-My af
lections Were benumed. and torpid, and the
sympathies of my bosom held affinity with -
nothing but drink. •-- j
Amid the most abject poverty, my wife |
shared my destiny. .Bloated-and distorted ,
as were my-features, she still imagined she
saw in it traces of my early condition. And i
when in some fitful moment of remorse and i
sanity, ! professed repentance—when for a 1
moment, I told her that my affection for her 1

what a thrill .of rapture seemed tingling;

■ VVc doubt whether there is another spot in
the Union, of equal siv.e.and population of
Lancaster county, that can boast of having
been the birtfi place or having educated so
many distinguished men—lin'd if she had been
so successful in retaining them upon her soil,
as she had been in raising them, she conld-at
this day lay cliiim.tu an honor that the jhost
favored country might envy. From among
many others who have made themselves: a
name in the political or religious history of
the country, that claim Lancaster county ns
the home of their childhood, ivc' have selec
ted tlie followingas the most conspicuous.-
- John C. Calhotin, how a Senator in - Con
gress Irom South, Carolina, formerly Vice
President of the United States, and one of
the first men of tlie day, is a native of this
county, haying been born in Drumore town
ship. Mr. Calhoun lias been too prominent
an actor in Hie busy scenes of .this ebuntcy
■for the last fe \v yca 13,(0' nVed more than to
bo named/ John Bell, one of (lie most dis
tinguished members of the U. States House
of Representatives, from Tennessee, and the
popular speaker of the'lo wer House of Con
gress that preceded Mr. Polk, is a native of
Hart township, and studied law in the office i
of Mr. Montgomery—father of J. C. Mont- 1
gqmery.Esq.of Lancaster. , fle is equally
ah honor to hispreceptor nhd to his native
county. James Hamilton of SouthCaVolWi
late Governor of that State, one of the ablest
representatives in Congress, an eloquent de
bater, a most enterprising merchant, and one
of tlie wannest promoters of the'internal im
-■»ents id commercial prosperity of tire
of one,of. the'first men of his
Drumore has the honor also.
.... t!i place of the.llon—White
side, formerly a distinguished U. S. Senator
from Tennessee, and the Rev. Win. L. Mc-
Calla, iovv of Philadelphia, knowp through
out tho; country as ii ready debater aiid elo
quent divine. The Rev. Dr. Hall of North
Carolina, one of the most celebrated divines
in the country, and fora great number of
years, the Presidcntof the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, was born ,in
Conewago in the upper part of this county.
Dr. Eberle.late professor of Materia. Mcdica
in the Medical College of Cincinnati, author
of several standard'-Medical works, and an
eminent Physician,, was a native of llemp
ficld township. Rowan, formerly Governor
of Kentucky we have heard it stated, was
a native of Mount Joy in this county, but tve
are not certain whether the honor belongs to
Lancastei or York-. Judge Whiter though
not a native of this county, was for some lime
a resident of it, and studied law in Lancas
ter under thc.lutc Mr. Hopkins, so that Lan
caster may claim the honor of having, in some
degree, formed his character, Rob’t Fulton)
the inventor of the Steamboat, and a' inan
who is not only an honor to Lancaster coun
ty but to America, was born of poor parents'
VnLittle Britain.' Rut we think our county i
may rest satisfied, withsuch an array of fal-j
Cut which she has supplied to different States,
particularly wßen it is considered what is left,
behind. —Jfenn CoufwU, . . |

DEFAULTERS-
The federal papers are making a great
flourish abou t the alleged default of the col
lectors oii tlie Columbiairail road, -aVPhila
delphia,' and at Columbia, They say tho
one is a defaulter (or Jifly and the other for
sixteen thousand dollars. Ry official state
ments Published in our paper of last week.
wemade.it clear to the comprehension df
every honest citizen, that the collector at
Columbia is not a defauUer-to the amountof.
a single dollar, nay more, that he.has actu
ally overpaid his account some hundreds of
dollars. The Chronicle and Telegraph, Who
originated the story, after being convicted of
its-falsehood, have been fairly cornered, and
were compelled publicly to retract theirin
faiiious calumnies. Fritz, the collector at
Philadelphia, will probably be found-it de
faulter to the amountof about $35,000. The’
Attorney General has promptly instituted
suit against his sureties, who arc responsible
men, for the amount, and Fritz is now held
fh bail in a capias in the sUm of 640,000.
When the Commonwealth shall have lost
any thing then it will-be time to complain.
As the matter stands, we believe, the'State
is perfectly safe. •. -.
But why' do not these federal • patriots ins
- name of Fritz's .predecessor,:
who held the office under Governor Ritneri
He was a defaulter to the amount of nearly
$lO,OOO when He Went out of officiyand, we
-,believe, is a defaulter still-. Governor Rib
ner himself lias,an unexplained balance of
$64,2150 to settle with.the Commonwealth!
respecting which his old friends and sup- 5
porters arc silent as the grave; Get these
federal patriots remember, that ‘‘charity
should begin vt 'Homed’... They Will find
plenty of defaulters in their own ranks, with
pockets filed, with the. public money, to cn s
gage all their attention.— Keystone^
