Biortlianttato. THE VICTORY. Most lovely of`all American sea board cities is Newport, in Rhode Is land. Nature has bestowed upon it a delicious climate, enchanting scen ery, and a bay and harbor uniting the best anchorage with the .crystalline azure of the Slediterrariean. Wealth and refinement have adorned it with princely mansions, and cottages that a poet might covet, while its society is beyond all question the:most cultiva ted and elegant in the United'States. But fifty years ago, the date of Our story, the place was only a half-for gotten seaport, living in the memo ries of those earlier days when its com merce far exceeded that of New York; when hundreds of wealthy Hebrews made it, the Venice of the new world, and sent their teeming ar gosies to South Anieriea andinto the Indian seas. The British occupation during the Revolutionary War, struck a death blow at the prosperity of Newport. The rich Merchant Jews gathered together their gold brilliants, closed their warehouses and sailed with their ships to other shores. Their costly synagogue Ntas shut up, not to this day re-opened for worship, although 'kept in constant and perfect repair Oy the bequest of Abraham Touro. Other famalieS were impoverished; trail° deserted the place for its younger rivals; the lone ly wharves clecand piece peal and dropped into the brine, and so com plete was the stagnant calm which bro Oded over the scene that it seem ed wrapped in the eleep,Of a hundred years, like that of the .Princess in Tennyson's Way Dreatia.' But at last under the guise of fashion, came the awakener : 'A touch, a Idea, the charm was anapped:' and the sleeping beauty arose to a lovelier life than'slie had ,ever shone in before. 'What dO you mean, sir ?' said Miss Martha Hayes, 'sweet, and .twenty,' emphasizing the ,do with a slight stamp and a toss of her pretty head; 'What do .you mean, Mr. Bright, by daring to ir.sinuate that t am not mistress of my own fancy, and that because it happens to be a time of war, I arn not still to' cherish a kind regard for old friends ? That one of them is a British otneer is surely his misfortune and not his fault.. My friendships are not in your keeping:' Mean, Miss Hayes, (emphasizing the Miss) precisely what I say, that if you prefer.a. British officer, an ,en erny to your CoUntry, becattse of his wealth and high rank, to one who has loved you so long as I have, you can bestow your hand upon him;: but if,ao, we may as well come to an un derstanding at.Onee.' 'Miss guyes, sir ?' replied the irate beauty, tearing her fan open with desperate vigor, proceeding to use the instrument violently, 'you are grow ing formal indeed. It always used to be Martha.' - , 'Yes, and it always used to be Charles.' 'Well, sir, if you cannot carry on a conversation without assuming airs and styling me Kiss Hayes, you may consider such a -miss as good as a mile, according to the adage.' shall be more ,Ilan, a mile from you to-morrow, Iliartha, and. shall miss you, following Ault in your play of words, but not in the formai sense which affronts you. Come, let's be friends again. You know that with to•morrow's light I leave Newport for Lake Erie, under Capt. Perry's command.' should think, indeed, that you were Capt. Perry himself, and that I were one of your crew you order peo ple about so,' said the persistent co quette, determining to have a slight brush with a lover for the very pleas ure of reconciliation ;, an art of quart rollin in which most young - beauties are adopts. .. did not order you. I said it was highly improper for you, betrothed as you, are to me, to' permit. nay at tention in my absence -from Lieut. Percy. While he was a prisoner on parole waiting for exchange, I under stand that he paid open court to you and that so far from retiring, as you ought to have done, you talked to him, walked with him, rode with him, and actually took him to your own pew in Trinity Church.' 'And why not, sir, pray? do you suppose that even if I were married to you, which fortunately I am not yet, that I should always shut my self out of agreeable society r Wovid you in your absence, have me alt alone in a dark ehatabe#Norlth dis• = ordered hair, sighing woefully, and constantiy contemplating the portrait of the faithful Charles, after the fash ion of the lovelorn heroines of ro mance ? No, indeed ; I might pre fer a life of single blessedness, per haps, but never to immure myself in a nunnery;' and Martha laughed heartily at her lover's vexation. 'I am glad to see this, and yet sor cy, ( toe. I now perceive that you Nlexe . never made to make me happy. I coine home from •sea to find my place, usurped by another, and when ecireplain you only laugh at me.— Do yi)u. wish our eckgagement, broken at once T 'By'alL means, sir, if you desire it.' 'Apd you have no shame for your conduct in encouraging Lieut. Percy?' 'Not in the least; I consider that you, take an unWarrantalile libertyin alrttigninoay...roctt s ives, without con descending to ask for an explana tion.' ea ' t W iori he th deand your expla- !pf ! , or eirou are , quite too late nOW; upon compulsion, I assure you, any more than Falstaff would give a reason! 'Before I sailed'on my' last voyage to the West Indies, did you not tell Me you loved me dearly and loved me only ? Did you not repeat your vows when the war broke out, and I em barked in the privateer which has ta ken so many British vessels eed not remind me, I remem ber well! 'Then *by do you change ? What do you find in Lieut. Percy that is at- , tractive ?' 'Oh, the epaulette of course; he is of a noble family and will doubtless be an admiral ; and Martha smiled most wickedly upon the exasperated sailor. ‘Listen to me Martha Hayes. I ; give, you up. You are .undeserv• ing of my love; but know that wheth., Cr I fall for my country under Perry , i or whether I return, your conduct has ruined thy happiness for Oh, that I should hear you say you no longer love me!' 'Ant have you heard it, sir?' 'Not by word of mouth, but you ac tions are far, more expressive. Give me back that ring you wear. I will return your locket the moment I reach home. Give it to me I say.' 'Do you really mean so ?, 'Why not ? You wish to be free and you shall be. Give me the ring.' 'Take it'then,' and Martha drew it from her finger. 'On whom will you bestow it, hereafter llir, Bright?' 'On no one; heartless woman, un less convinced - ttiiit; She 'truly loves me ; and such I never , expect to find..' 'You may ; the world is wide, and you will see many to choose from.' 'Never, but when I return you may 'May be Mrs. Admiral, Percy, at your service,' said ;Hiss Hayes, courte syingTrofoundly, and smiling behind her fan. 'Good bye, forever,' heartless flirt,' 'Good bye, my sweet-tempered gr. Bright,' and the door closed upon him. Scarcely was she alone than she burst into tears. 'There I done it now, but . he'll come back to.. see me once more. Silly fellow, not to guess that I was only joking about that odi ous Percy. I'll scud Phillis for him; no, I'll wait until to-morrow morning; he will ,come back, I know. Oh, if he hadn't taken the ring I shouldn't believe he was really angry. What a fool I was to give it to him; and Miss Martha, in a rage with herself,, tore her v ian 'to tatters and tossed the bits on the floor. Half an hour afterward the door bell rang. It was. answered promptly, and Phillis, the little nc gress-,, came with a small package con taining the locket. 'Who brought this ?' asked Martha. 'Massa Bright bisself.' 'And what did he say ?' 'Deed missis, he didn't say uuthin he just chucked the bundle at me, and runned away. 'Well,' if he .does not come here a gain this evening, you go to his house the first thing after breakfast to-mor row morning, and say that I wish, to see him. 'Yes missis.' Martha waited in vain a long, lone ly evening, and passed a wretched night without a wink of sleep. The faithful Phillis was dispatched at an early hour; but, true to his word, Charles, had sailed in the 'schooner for Providence at the dawn of day, and left no last message for the erring Martha. Then did she indeed shut herself up in her dim chamber, and wept over her lover's picture, until her pretty blue eyes were as red as a ferret's. When the angry lover had sent back the locket, and had time for a little cool reflection, he half repented of his haste,' and wished that indeed ho bad sought an explanation in a gentle manner. He< even made. a move, to see Martha once more, but checked, himself. 'Nu, I won't go near hpr,' said he. 'She knows that I ath going in the morning ; and.,if she cares to see me, let her send for me.' He went for his final instrue. tions to his compauder, and received them. 'What is the matter with you, my boy ?' said Perry, on parting with him, 'you look as black as .a squall to windward. I hops you have not quay . rolled with that pretty sweetheart 6f yours.' • „ 'Yes, sir I have.. She is a ,jilt ~:a flirt; our engagement is broken, and I'll neysr fi c ee her more' 'Nonsense,: -boy,' returned; Perry. ‘Chuckher unfier, the chin, and give ber,a Ineet,you half way at that, -IknoW, What should_ you ciara if Martha _lo , a bit of acs- LEBANON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1862. quette ?

'I. thought's° once, sir, but now— impossible.' 4 Well Charles, I can't, stop to rea son with an; angry man. Be ready with to-morrow ' s sun, but don't let it rise on yqurzwrath. Good night.'

He ( 1 . • was in the rytpritae of manhood, a model of chivalrous beauty ' , an he had just , beenarried to a lovely girl, when the pres ing need of his country called his powe s into active play.

Such was his influence over his men, not merely by thorough disci pline, but by infusing into even the rudest, of them his own burning spir it, that long before they reached the scene of effort, they would willingly have laid down their lives for him.— In toil, in privation, in a weary stru'g glee through the dense wilderness that then covered the shores of the lake, he ever led, animated and con. soled them. . !Take good care of my_ boy, Capt. Perry,' said: Charles Bright's aged fa ther, as he shook the commander by the hand. 'Aye, that •I will, my life-long friend, and we'll send you such cheer ing news Mat Newport shall, for very joy, shako the merriest peal -of bells that ever rangtrom old Trinity stee- The prayers and blessings of the whole community followed the young commander, who only wanted Oppor tunity to prove himself a glorious hero. With fearful impatience did Mar tha Hayes wait for news from her lover; the 4- Mercury,' the only news paper in Newport, was published but once a week, a Mereury whose wing ed cap and heels has been laid aside; but happily for Martha.. she no inkling of the magnetic telegraph.— She gleaned wllat she could from ev ery acquaintance, and kept little black Phillis busy in making inquiries, * - sub rosa, of Mr. Bright's servant. 0 n eaf ternobn'she heard rumors of a Brit. ish man-of-war tender having .come into the harbor, bearing a: flag of truce. She looked from the window upon the bay, and saw the little ves sel, and - as she did se, - beheld a, boat put off from her and pull toward the shore. An officer was' in the Stern sheets, and though at too g reat a dis• tance to recognize his features, she thought he resembled the lieutenant who had caused . the separation and anger of her lover. She was not long in doubt ; he bore a dispatch from his admiral to the authorities of New. .port, regarding an exchange of, sea• men, and pending the deliberations of the worthy fathers, he hastened.to Martha's door. He was at once . ad mitted to the presence Of the beauty, who received. bina with stately dom• posure. 'You are fortunate, Lieut. Percy, in visiting Newport again this season. hardly thought to see you; Septem ber has almost gone. You must have sailed' fast to run by our forts; or are our batteries only of spiked cannon ?' 'They are doubtless servicable, but I came with dispatches and under a flag of truce.' 'AI), how much more power:al you British officers find flags of truce than your own ensign. 'Spare your sarcasm my fair friend. Beside, although your cause has been at times'successful at sea, ours has had greatly the advantage by land.' 'Yes, your gallant Admiral,- Cock burn has very lately-, indeed for a long time past, been untiring in firing _barns and robbing, all the benroosts on the shores'of the Chesapeake.' 'lie may, perhaps, in his zeal, have far •exceeded orders, but his daring cannot be impugned,' said Percy, who, while he endeavored to sustain his national valor, felt his cheek tingle with shame at the ruffian acts of the blackguard Cockburn! Percy continued, turning the sub ject of conversation, 'We` shall soon now have a triumph in another guar. ter, we shall be victorious on the wa ter, though not on the sea. We shall have glorious news from Lake Erie.' 'lndeed we shall, Mr. Percy, but such news as you would not wish re. peated.' 'For the sake of my country I wish success to ;the_ English:flotilla, but for your sweet sake, --.$ 'Stop, Mr. Percy ; you cannot wish ill to the British fleet under any cir cumstances and keep your loyalty, while your complinients to me are thrown away.

'This bracelet,' she continued, 'formerly belonged to. one of the Hebrews who lived in New port. He always Said that it had been an heir.loom in the illustrious family of Contrarini.

In the collection of curiosities pre , served in the Arsenal at Venice, there is a key, of which the follovving singular tradition is related :—About the year 1600, one of those dangerous men, in whom extraordinary talent is only the fearful source of crime and wickedness beyond that of ordinary men, came to establish himself as a merchant or trader in Venice. The stranger, whose name. was Tebaldo, became enamored of the daughter of an ancient house, alreadY affianced to another. He demanded her hand in marriage, and was of course rejected. Enraged at this he studied how to be revenged. Profoundly skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until he had invented the most formidable 'Weapon which could be imagined. This was a key of large size, the handle of which was so con- structed that iveould be turned a round with little difficulty. When turned, it discovered .a spring, which, on pressure, launched= from the other end a needle or lancet of such subtile fineness, that iti.entered into the flesh and buried itself.there without leay. iing external trace. Tebaldo Waited l in disguise at the door of the church lin which the maiden whom he loved ;was about to receive the nuptail ben tediction;-= The assassin sent tbe•liieri-. lder steel, unperceived, into the breast of the bridegroom.

They too perished miserably in a few days. The alarm which those deaths, which appeared almost miraculous, occasioned, excited the utmost vigi lance of the magistrates; and when, on close examination of the bodies, the instrument was found in-the gan. grened, flesh, terror Was iii‘Nrs'al— every one feared for his life. The maiden thus cruelly orplumed, had passed the first monthsof her nArn ing In a convent, when Tebaldo, hoping to bend her to his will, entreated to speak with her at the gate. The face of the foreigner had been ever dis pleasing to her, but since the death of all those most dear to her, it had be come odious, (as though she had a presentiment of his guilt,) and her re ply was most decisive in the negative. Tebaldo, beyond - himself with rage, attempted to wound her through the gateyand succeeded ' • the obscurity of the place prevented his movement from being observed. On her return to her room the maiden felt a pain in her breast, and uncovering it, she found i n t spotted with a single drop of e od:f - The pain increased; the sur geons who hastened to her assistance, taught by the past, wasted no time in conjecture, but cutting deep into the wounded part, extracted the needle before any mortal mischief had com menced, and saved the life of the lady. The state inquisition used every means to discover the hand that dealt these insidious and irresistible blows. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent caused suspicion to fall heavily upon him. Els house was carefully search. ed, the infamous invention discovered, and he perished on the gibbet. Maoistßeport Of the Colonel of the Ninety third rezmaylvanie Regiment. ECADWARTEIIII, NINM-TErIPS) PIGIINSTIVA2 /1. REGININT, May, 6th, 1862. Carunr :--When, at 2,30 P. it., on the fifth, the 'order was given by General Peck, "move up, Ninety-third," we advanced in quick time to take position in the rear of the Fifty-fifth New York regiment and support it. On our arrival upon the field, we found that ground amounting on the front to abbut one hundred and fifty yards on the right of the Fifty-fifth New York, and on the left of the One hundred-and-sec ond Pennsylvania, was uooccupied. This was the space between the two roads ; one known as the "new cut road," the other the old, on its right, and both coming together at the distance of two hundred yards be yond the woods, through which we moved to take position. As the enemy could be seen advancing in force, the regiment was rapidly posted ; its right resting oa the One-hundred-and-second Pennsylvania volunteers; thus occupying the middle front of the brigade, and extending its left in the rear of the Fifty-fifth New York. About two-thirds of the command were in line, when the charge of the enemy was made; and the fire of our right wing under direction of Lieut.-Col. Johnson, began. The enemy's charge was led by a squadron of cavalry. The rebel fort, known as" Fort Magruder," and a smaller one on the ex treme right of the brigade front, four pieces of artillery,which had been brought into position about five hundred yards in our front, together with cavalry and in fantry, poured into us a storm of shot,shell, grape, canister and bullets. For three hours the fire of the regiment was inces sant; on account of its position command. ing a view of both the openings of the roads, on either side of which were fallen bushes and trees, over whose tops volleys of musketry blazed upon our line. At the end of this time the right and centre had expended forty-five rounds, and -were without ammunition. The two companies of the left—com pany B, Captain Arthur, and company G, Captain Maitland—had been posted by me in rear of the left of the Fifty-fifth New York, Under Captain Derr, acting Major, where the enemy made three attempts to flank them, but where they were driven back as often. The firing of the rebels on this flank having ceased, and these two comp an ie s having thirty unexpended rounds, were conducted by me to take position on our extreme right, upon which the fire of the enemy was still hotly di rected. Hare our silence for some mo ments had induced the idea that we had retired ; and these two companies had scarcely been posted, when the enemy were seen charging up the road at the distance of about one hundred yards. One volley from company G, aimed low and with accu racy, stopped their charge,and - they ceased to advance, but continued to fire with ra pidly and with fearful effect. At the end of thirty minutes they had been repulsed here and along our whole front, and excepting a few scattering shots from the bashes we beard from them no more. The regiment maintained an unbroken front for full fif teen minutes after every round of ammu nition had been expended, and we held our ground until at 6 P. M., we were relieved by the Eighty-fifth Pennsylvania regiment, Keim's Brigade. The l'oss of the Ninety-third, when the battle was over, was ascertained to be in killed and wounded as follows : /MLLE% Captain G. B. Shearer,. company. B, Centro (*linty , Pa.
