A <iiiAKKit Din r.oi svi: We were five passengers in all; two [allies on the hack seat, a middle aged gentleman ami a Quaker on tho middle, and myself on the one in front. Two ladies might, have been mother and daughter, aiint and niece, governess and charge, or might have sustained any other relationship which made it proper for two ladies t, travel together unatten ded. The middle aged gentleman was uprightly and talkative. He soon struck ‘up an acquaintance with the Indies, to wards whom, in his z*-al to do, he rnthor oyenlid, the agreeable— lowing and smiling and chattering over his shoulder in u way pain full v sugges ive, at his time, of life, of a “ crick" in the neck. He was evidently a gray Lothario. The Q,un«er wore the uniform of Vila sect, and conllned his speech, as many a pailiament-d'ian would save Ills credit by doing, to simple “yeas” and “nays.” As for myself. I make it an invariable rule of the road to be merely a looker on and listener; Towards evening, I was aroused from one of those reveries into which a young man, without being either a poet or a lov er wilt sometimes full, by the abrupt query from the talkative gentleman : “Are you armed, sir?” “T am not,” I answered, astonished, no doubt visibly, at the question. “I urn sorry to hear it,” he replied; “ for before naohlnc our next stopping place it will be several hours In the. night, and we must puss over a portion of the road on which more than one robbery is reported to have been commitsd.” The ladies turn dpale, but the&tranger did bis lies* to <eaasure them. “Notthat I think there is the slightest danger at present,” he resumed ; “ only when one is responsible for the safely of ladies, you know, such a thing as a pistol in reach would materially add to one's confidence.” “ irom* principles, my friend,” address ing the Quaker. “ I piesumo are us much opposed to carrying us to using carnal weapons ” “ Yea,” was the response. “Have the-villains murdered any of their victims?” the elder lady nervously inquired. “Or have they contented themselves with—with—plundering them ? 1 added the younger, in a.timoious voice. “.Decidedly the latter,” the amiable gentleman hastened to give’ assurance; “and as none oi us are prepared to offer resistance in case of attack, nothing worse than robbery can possibly befall us.” Then, after blaming his thoughtless ness in having unnecessarily introduced a disagreeable subject, the gentleman quite excelled himself in efforts to • raise the spirits of the company, and bad suc ceeded so well by the time night set in. that all had quite forgotten, or only re membered Ihett* fears to laugh at them. Our genial companion fairly talked himaelf hoarse. Perceiving which, he took from his pocket a package of a newly invented "Cough Candy," and, alter pacing it tirstto the ladies, he help ed himself to the balance, and tossed the paper out of the window. He was in the midst of a high encomi uiii.ou the new nostrum, more than half the efficacy of which, he insisted, depen ded on l.ts being taken by suction, when a shrill whistle was heard, and almost im mediately the coach stopped, while two faces, hideously blacked, presented them selves, one at each window, “dorry to troubleyou. f, said the man- on the right, acknowledging with a bow two lady-like screams from the back seat; “ but ‘business is business,’and ours will soon be over, If things go smoothly/’ “Of course, ventlenicii, you will spare, as far us may be consistent with vourdis ugreeable duty, the feelings of t ese la dies,” appealed the pohte passenger, in his blandest manner. “ Oh ! certainly ; they shall be first at tended to, and shall not be required to leave their places, or submit to u B*aroh, unless tliejr .conduct renders it neces sary, ” “And now, ladles,” continued the rob her, the barrel of his pistol glittering In' the light of the couch-iamp, “be so good as to puss out your purses, watches, and sue other trinkets us may be accessible without too much trouble.” The ladies came down handsomely, and were no futher u,.olested, Otic by one the rest of us were compel led Co get out, the middle-aged gentle man’s turn cotning first. He submitted with a winning grace, and was robbed like a very Chesterfield. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY. JULY 8, 1869 My own affair, like the Bum I lost,, is scarcely worth mentlonh'p.~"The Qua ker’s turn came next. He quietly handed over his pocket-honk and watch, and when as'>ed,*lf he had any other valu ables. said, u Nay." A Quaker’s word is pood even among thieves; so, after a hasty “pond night," the robber thrust his pistol <n his pocket, and, with his two tompaniohs, one of 'thorn hud held the reins of the leaders, wa6 about taking his departure. “Stop!" exclaimed the Quaker, in *a (one more of command than request* “Stop I wlvit for ?" returned the oilier, in evident surprise. “Formal least two pood reasons," was the replc, emphasized with a couple of Derinpers cocked and presented. “Help !" shouted the robher. “Stop!" the Quaker again exclaimed. ‘ Ana If (tie of thy sinful companions advances a step to thy lelief, the spirit will surely move me to blow thy brains out." The robber at the opposite .window, ami the one at the leaders' heads, thought ii a good time to leave. “Thee bad better not delay; I feel th** spirit beginning to move my right fore finger.” The robber did ns he was directed, and the Quaker took his place by his side, giving the new coiner the middle of the seat. The driver, who was frightened half but of ills wits, now set forward at a rapid rate. The lively gentleman soon recovered his vivacity. He was espe cially facetious ou the Quaker’s prowess. “ You’re a rum Quaker, you are. Why, you don’t quake worth a cent,” “I’m not p. 'Shaking Quaker, - ’ if that’s what thee means.” “Of the ‘Hickory,’or rather of the ‘Old Hickory's stripe, I should say,” retorted the lively man; but the Quaker relapsing into his usdal monosyllables, the con versation flagged. Time sped, and sooner than'we tfx pee’ed, the coach stopped where we were to have supper and change of horses. We hud deferred a redistribution of onr effects till weshould reach this place, as the dim light of the coach lamp woijfd havtj rendered the process somewhat diflicult before. + It was now necessary, however, that it should be attended to ai once, as onr jo yial companion pad previnucly announced his intention of leaving at. tide point. He .proposed a postponement till after supper, which ho ottered to go and order. “Nay,” urged the Quaker, with an ap proach to abruptness, and laying hN hand on the other’s arm, “business before pleasure.’ and for btl.-dne-s there is no lime like the present.” “Will thee bo good enough to search the prisoner?” he said to me, still keep ing his hand, hi a Iricmlly way on the passenger’s arm. I did so, but not one of the stolen articles could bo found! “He must have gotten rid of them in the couch,” the gay gentleman suggested and immediately ottered to go and search. “Scop!” thundered the (flicker, tight ening his grasp. The. man turned pale, and struggled to release his arm. In an instant one of the Derringers was levelled at his heart. “Stir a hand or a foot, and you’re a dead, man!” The Quaker must have been awfully excited, so completely io forget both lan guage and tiie principles of Ms persua sion. Placing the other pistol in my hand, with directions to fire ui the first of the two men that made a suspicions move ment, he went towurk on Lothario, from whose pockets, in iess time tlmn it, takes tj tell it, he produced every ii'em <if the missing properly, to the utter amazement of the two ladles, who hud begun, in no measured terms, to re (illustrate against the shameful treat ment the gentleman wa< receiving. “ The Quaker, I need scarcely add, was no Quaker at all, but a shrewd detective, who had neen set on the track of a baud o' desperadoes, of whom our middle-age i Iri^nd—who didn’t look near so middle "aged when his wig was oil—was the chief. The robbery had been adroitly planned. TheJea'erof the gang ha i taken passage in the coach, and after learning, as he supposed, our defence less condition, had given the signal to his companions by throwing out the scrap of paper at ready mentioned. After the un expected capturti of the first robber, it was attempted to save the booty by secretly passing it to tne accom plice, still believed to be unsuspect ed, who counted on being able to make olt with it-at the.iiexL stopping-place. The result was that both, for a season, “ did the Stale some service.” Ax ITKiitHss in* Drsouisi:. The. St. Joseph (Mu.) Gazette of a recent date, re lates the following somewhat romantic story; Fnme time last fall a young ladv came to St. Joseph from the East to spend tlie winter with a relative. Unassum- ~ • ' ■ ■ v ■ ■ o *i.\ . • v. lutniuill tng, handsome, graceful and intelligent, she created a mo*t favorable impression with those who enjoyed the pleasure ol her acquaintance, and Conned an agreea ble addition to the social circle in. which she moved. Site was remarkably retired and qiret in her manners, and studious ly sought to avoid,all ostentatious dis play in her apparel, hut at the same time exhibited in her dress the most exquisite taste and in her manners the moat ele gant refi *eraent. Shortly after the lady’s arrival she was called upon by a young gentleman (a resident- of this county,) who had formed her acquaintance in the East, and aeon therenfterhis visits became frequent and his attentions marked and devoted. If. was noticed, as the friend ship of the two ripened into intimacy, that the la ly began to Institute, in a very cautious manner, inquiries for the pur pose of ascertaining, whet her the gentle man had the least idea of her history ami condition, and particularly of her finan cial affairs. These inquiries were prose cuted for some time, and seem to have resulted satisfactorily. At least, after a courtship of some months, she commited her happiness and fortunes to the eare of the gentleman alluded to, and the cele bration of tim nuptials were duly recor ded in the early partofthe presentspring. The happy couple immediately started for the Enat, and are now residing at the former hhme of the bride. And now comes the sequel. The quiet niifl unas suming young lady was in reality the possessor of immense wealth and the un doubted heiress of nn estate worth over $4,000,000—a fact wholly unknowu atthe time even to the gentleman who had sought her hand and heart. Bhe hud taken this method to teat the sincerity of her admirer, and finding hla heart the true nold, had committed unhesitating ly a golden treasure and a pure, warm heart to his keeping, without permitting the many gallant youths of St. Jo eph to catch the lainieat. idea of the g'itlenng prize apparently within their reach. Midnight.— There is.something beau tiful and sublime in the hush of mid night. .The myriad of quiet sleepers, laying down euoh their life-burden: in sensible alike to joy or sorrows ; helpless alike the strong man as the infant ami overall, the sleepless Eye.,whlch. since the world began, h*s never lost sight of one pillowed head. Thoughts like these come to us In our wakeful night-hours with an almost painful iht.*n“ty. Then eternity only seems real, and every day life a fable. Hut morning comes, and the stir and hum of life chase them away, an Uie warm huh dries up the dewdrops, which like these'thoughts perform their revlvidg mission ere they depart.

It was known that Cliar- Jey Wynne was in the city; a police man hud seen him enter here. But we had searched the irom bottom to . ; *oot, and only this buy was seen—u child almost, with sunny hair and u face like u airl a. Tliere was a witching grace in the llilie slender limbs, and the willowy trame, grace in every motion, courage hi the lierce, blue eyes ; and as wo search ed tiie house tile boy billowed our move ments, a smile of scorn upon ids lips, but a look of anxiety in ins eyes. Al last I had asked him il lie knew the murderer of Mr. Hill, one Charley Wynne. He flushed redly as the ques tion was repeated, and his lips trembled with “motion. * Bo you know him?’ I repeated. ‘I will not tell you, sir!’ * But you must!’ ‘ I will nut!’ ‘ Very wed, then, you arc my priso ner 1 shall have to arrest you for har boring a fugitive,’ I replied. Still I had no intention of dbing so. I only meant to play upon his fears in the hope that it would ehet some inlonnatioii. But the boy thought mo in earnest.— A (lightened look swept over his tace, and.lie trembled like an aspen. I notic ed, too a restless, uneasy glance of Ms eyes that we -ometitnes see in one win dreads the effect of spoken . words upon one he fears may hear them. I'lwih assured oie time my j»t-iaoncr i was near at hand. I I went oil to tell him (hut if lie refused I me the intormation I si ught, (hat, much, as I disliked to, I should have to lock’ him up among common criminals, in a police cell. Where was the bay’s courage now? IBs knees trembled—lns face was hvhl wiih fear, and sinking into Ids chair, be cried out amid sob-, and fears : ‘Oh ! Chuiley, Charley, s .vc mo !’ „The words had barely lelt Ids lips, when a concealed door in the old parlor wall opened, and Charley Wynne stepp ed into the room. • ‘ I -mrroader!’ ho said, ‘Jet the hoy alone!’ The next moment the boy sprung to Ida feet gave one passionate glance at Char ey, full of sorrow and regret, and then murmuring— ‘ What have 1 done; what have I done,’ sunk minting to the floor. ‘ Why, this young man,’ said Mr. f.. regarding him rather contemptuously, ‘ seems inclined to make uscene.’ * Yes ; ft appears so,' I replied, but feel ing all the time a strange leur working at my heart. As hastily as 1 could, 1 up olied remedies to revive the fainting boy. Soon his eyes opened, and resting on our prisoner, lie cried out. ‘Oh, Charley ! Charley! is it I who destroyed you ?’ ‘ Your fears have.’ 1 * Then I’ll die with you. I too,’ he said, turning to me, ‘am equally guilty I planned the deed ; I ht-lped io execute it; I will not be separated from him.’ ‘ This is slrunge devoiion in a hoy ’’ ‘ Boy no longer-Z am this man’s wife,’ and shaking loose her bright, yellow •golden curls disclosed the leatures of one of the most noted, as well as be-mtHm decoys in the city—an outlaw’s duugh •ter, and a muideror’s wife.

He should be brought into the .-fa ble and visited and handle I often, un til he is somewhat used to it, then por tions of the harness tried on ; if ho can be accustomed to.it without showing fear, lead him out into the yard and m ike him turn to the right or left at the word or reins., Jf he refuses to obey,, which is quite likely, wo know • f no way but to whip him into subjec tion. When lie docs ober, caress and reward him. If you succeed in make ing him obey here, fasten him beside a steady horse with a light wagon, ami make him go, pbaccbly if he will, forci blyifyou must. If, after those opera tions, ho shies from die harness, tries to run from the wagon, or refuses to dniiV do not give it up, but use every exer tion to bring.io submission, and finally, to the process, known as taming. No horse properly trained according to the above directions will need taming, but as the majority of colts are never i rain ed, a great many horses will have to be trained. Harey’s method is the best. It con sists in fastening up the fore leg by a strap bucketed tight over the ankle and the arm near the body, and the second strap attached to the rigid loot, run through the circinglo to the right-hand of the tamer, while his left holds -Un bridle. The horse is niw harmless, and should bo made to hop, when a vigor ous pull with the right band will throw him on nis knees, wnere lie can be held on his side, which ho should bo eucour aged to do. These operations will take from fifteen minutes to threo hours, ac cording to the'strength and spirit of the horse. When once fairly down he should be caressed, handled, and a sad dle or portions of the harness put upon him until he finds that none of them vill do him any harm. This throwing should he repeated several times, until' the horse readily submits and allows his master to do whatever lie pleases, by this method Mr. Karey has tamed the most vicious of horses.

After four hours’ coatinemont I was released, and brought before Judges Oliu and Bing ham. and told them of Booth bringing in's horse to the loeutre oh the afternoon -»f the 14th of April (18ii5.) After this investigation I said : What is to be done with me?” and they replied : “We ktiow where to iind you when you are wanted,” andoriered my rel-ase. I returned io the theatre, where L remained until Sat urday, when the soldiers took possession of it; lint as the officer of the guard gave ui attache ami myself u pass to sleep there, we retired at 10 p. it., and atl»A. m , a guard was placed over me. who re mained until 9 a. m.

Two Honrs after I was called down stairs msec two gentlemen who had culled for me. They said that I was wanted down street. On reaching the sidewalk they placed me in a hack and drove rapidly to Carroll Prison, where I was confined a week. Three days afterwards Detective, or Colonel BuKeroame to and questioned me about the sale of a horse and buggy (which belonged loBiolh), and I told him all about it freely and readily. On the day following 1 was callnd into the office of the prison in order to be recognized by Sergeant Dye, who merely nodded ids head us I entered and then he left. (DyesubaequenMy teslilied that he was sitting mi the steps of the theatre just before Booth fired the shot and to seeing mysterious persons about.) X was allowed on t e fourth day. of my im prisonment to walk the prison yard, but from that evening X was closely confined and guarded until the next Saturday at midnight, when I was again taken to the office to see a’detective, who, said: ‘‘Come, Spaneler, I’ve.some jewelry for you.” He handcuffed me witu my arms ; behind my buck, and guarding me to a buck I was piaceed in it and driven to Mie Navy Yard, where - my legs were manacled and a pair of Lillie handcuffs puiced on my wrists. Iw is put in a boat and rowed to u monitor, where I was taken on hoard and thrown into a small, dirty room, between two water-closets, and on to a bed o.f filthy life preservers and blankets, with two soldiers guarding the door. I was kept for three days. I laid been thus confined three days on the vessel when Cupiuin Monro-- came to me and said “ Spangler, X'vm something that must be toid, but you must not bo frightened.' We have orders froui fhe Sec retary of War, who must be obeyed, to put YOLf 56.-NO. 4 ft bag on your h cad.” Then twumcn came am! tied up my head so securely that I could not »ce daylight. I hud plenty of food, but could not eat with my face so muffl'd up. True, there was a small hole in ilie bag near my mouth, but I could not rcjic'i that, as my hands were wedged down by the iron. At last, two kmd-hcanod soldiers took compassion on me,.and while one watched and the otn er fed me. On Saturday night a man came to me and after drawing the bag .so tight us to nearly stiff icire mo, said to the guard. “ Don’t let him go to sleep, as we will carry him out to hang him di rectly.” I heard them go up on the deck, when there was a great rattling of chains and ollnr noises; and while I was trying to imagine what wusj going on, and what they intended to do, I was drugged out hy two men, who both pulled me at times in opposite directions. We, how ever, reached a boat in which I was plac ed, and were rowed a short distance, I could’not say then where we stopped, lor my face was still covered. After leaving the boat, I was forced to some dis tance, with the heavy irons still on my legs. I was then suddenly stopped ami made to ascend three or four flights of stairs, and us I stood at the top .waiting, some one struck me a severe blow on the top of the head, which stunned am! half throw mo over, when X was pushed into a small roam, where I rein.hied m an unconscious condition for several hours. The next morning some one came wi b bread and coffee, I remained hero seve ral days, suffering torture from the bag or padded hood over my face. It was on .Sunday when it was removed and 1 was shaven. It was ihen replaced. Some hours after General Hurtnuilt came and read to me several charges; that I was engaged in a plot to assassinate the Presi dent, and * lie day following I was carried into a military court and still 'hooded be fore ail of its members. I remained but a short lime, when I was returned to my cel^ for another night and day and Hum ■again presented in this court. Mr. Blng hain, A-sislant Judge-Ailvocate, read the charges against me, and asked if I hud any objections to the court, and I replied No,” and made my plea ol "not gull ly.n Tney then wished to know if I de-' sired counsel, and, when [ answered af lirmativelv,.General Hunter, the’presi dent of the court, insisted that I should not he allowed counsel.

On one Sunday, while I was eonllued at tills place (the Washington Arsenal,) I was visited by a gentleman of middle stature, rather stout, with full heard ami gold-framed spectacles. Me noticed my manacles and padded head. I afterwards learned Unit lie was Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of war. It is proper to state that when the hood was placed on me.— Captain Munmesaid it was by order ol the Secretary of war. My llrst thought was that I was to be hung without trie I, and the hood was preparatory to that act. time I ever saw Mrs. .Surratt was in the f’arrol Prison yard, on Capi tol Hill. I did not see her again until we were taken into cou* t the tirst day at the arsenal. My cell was on the same corridor with hers, ami I hail to pass it every time I was taken Into court. I frequently looked into her cell, a small room about four feet wide by seven feet long. The only things in her cull were an o>d mattress laid on the bricks and an army blanket. I could see the irons on her feet, as ehe was goui*rall.v lylug on the mattress, and was the last one brought into court. She occupied a seat in court near the prison door. The sett was twelve inches high, and the chains between the irons on her feet were so short that she always had to be assisted to her seat. She w.is so sick at one time that the court was comp-lied toadjourn. On the 17th of July, about midnight, £ was conveyed to a steamboat, and ar rived the'next day at Fortress Monroe, ami was thence taken to the gunboat Florida. The irons on my arms were temporarily removed, hut Captain Dut ton, in charge of the guard, ordered heavy Xiillie irons to be placed on me, when General Dodd, chief officer in charge, more humanely countermanded fiis order and hud the irons again remov ed from my arms. I was placed for se curity in the lower hold of the vessel, ami compelled to descend to it by a lad der, The rounds were far apart, and, as the irons on iny feet were chained but a •few inches apart, my legs were bruiseil ami 1 cerated fearfudy. The hold where I was confined was close and dirty, but after two or three d ys [was allowed on deck in the daytime, but was closely guarded. I was allowed to speak to no one of the crew. We arrived at Fort Jefferson, on the Dry To togas, ami were handed over to Colonel Hamilton, com munding, who placed mb until the next dav in a casemate. The next day I was brought before Colonel H., who informed me that lie had no more stringent orders concerning me than other prisoners confined there. T managed to get along comfortably for a whl c, though to some of the prisoners the officers were very cruel. One man by the name of Dunn, while helping in unloading a government transport, got hold of some liquor and imbibed too free ly for which he was taken to the guard house and lied up to the window frame by his thumbs for two hours. General Hill then ordered him to be taken down •and be made to carry a thirty-two pound ball, but as the hanging had deprived him of the use of his thumbs, he was unable to obey. The officers, however, put two twenty-four pound balls- in a knai««ack and-compeiie 1 him to curry them un'il the sack gave away from the weight of the iron. He was then tied up by tiie wrists and gagged in the mouth by the bayonet from 8 P, M. till the next morning. He was then taken down ami 1 thrown into the guard-house, but was so exhausted that he had to lie removed to the hospital. It -was decided to ampu tate three of his lingers, but tills was recon-idered. He lost, however, the use of Ids thumb and two lingers. This punishment was inflicted by Major Mc- Connell, officer of the day, and was cur ried out by Sergeant Edward Donnelly. Another poor prisoner named Drown, was orco. excused by the doctor from work on the plea of illness, but the Pro vost Marshall insisted and finding him too 111 and lucking strength made him burry a thirtv-’wo pound ball. He stag gered under the weight and was com-, polled from weakness to put itdown. He was then taken to the* wharf and with his legs tied together and his hands tied behind him, a rope was placed around him and he was thrown Into ,the water and then dragged out? This was done three or four times, he begging for meri-y most piteously. Ho was finally jeriied out of the water and ordered to return to his ordinary work. The poor wretch crept off' apparently thankful fur any es cape from such torments. Captain Jos. Kitten house was officer of the uaj*, and his orders were carried out by Corporal Spear. , , Daring tho later part of last October I wan placed lu irons and compelled to work wiib an armed sentinel over me.
