A Romantic Story of Love and War.
The Course of True Love never did run Smooth," but
'All's Well that ends Well.'
Many of those who on Thursday morn
ing last stopped to admire the handsome
faces among the cartes decisctte hung up
at the entrance of Ryder's photographic
gallery on Superior street must have no
ticed the likeness of a young and striking
ly beautiful lady attired in mourning, and
those of theui who stopped Inter in the day
for the purpose of again looking at that at
tractive face, noticed its disappearance.
With that portrait and its withdrawal from
exhibition a very romantic, but true story
is connected, of which we are at liberty to
give the outlines.
About a year ago the original of the por
trait lived with her father, a 'well-to do'
farmer of the Grand river valley, Michigan,
these two constituting the eutire family.—
The old man rapidly failing in health, was
desirous that his daughter should be mar
ried to a neighboring young farmer who
passionately loved her. The girl, however,
had already given her heart to a young
man whom she had frequently met, while
he was sincerely attached to her. The lov
er was not in a position that would justify
his pressing his suit, and therefore the en
gagement was kept a secret.
The old man finding himself gradually
failing in health became more urgent in his
wish that his daughter would marry his
neighbor, but she pleaded for delay on va
rious pretexts. By some means the father
at length became possessed of the secret of
the attachment, and without communica
ting the fact of his knowlodge to his daugh
ter, he wrote a letter to the Detroit lover,
pointing out the hopelessness of his suit
and stating that the lady was shortly to be
come the bride of a young farmer for whom
she had been for years destined. He ad
ded that an attempt to change this decree
would be giving the lady needless pain.
Immediately, on the receipt of this oruel
blow to all bis hopes, the young man en
listed in a Michigan regiment under orders
to leava for Washington, and wrote the la
dy a brief note, snnounoing the fact and
begging her to forget him, and bidding her
farewell forever. The regiment almost im
mediately went to Washington.
The aad 21st day of July, 1861, follow
ed, and when the fainting and disheartened
soldiers returned from the fatal field of
Bull Run to the defence on the line of the
Potomae, the young Detroiter was not
among them. Nothing definite was heard
from him and he was supposed to have been
killed. The sorrowful news in time reach
ed the young lady, and she secretly mourn
ed for her lover as among the slain. Short
ly afterwards the old man was taken sick,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST, 6, 1862.
and lay on his deith-bed. Some days be
fore his death he again pleaded with his
daughter in behalf of the young neighbor,
urging that if he could see her properly
eared for in marriage he could die in peace.
There being no longer any reason for refu
sal, her consent was given, and the mar
riage solemnized two days before the death
of her father.
The lady's wedded life was short. Her
husband, who was very kind to her, and
endeavored to win her from her double sor
row, was attacked by typhoid fever about a
month after marriage, and died after a few
days' illness, leaving the young widow pos
sessed of considerable property.
As soon as possible, she set about dispo
sing of her property at the West, in order
that she might join her friends in New
England. During all this time nothing
had been heard to contradict the story of
the death of her former lover at Bull Run.
Her affairs were, after some delay, finally
settled, and she made a round ot visits to
friends in the West, previous to going to
settle for life in New England. East week
she arrived at this city on her way east,
and spent a few days with a lady friend re
siding on the west side.
On Wednesday last, the young widow,
accompanied by her friends, visited Ryder's
photographic gallery for the purpose ol
having some card likenesses taken, and this
proved to be an important step in her his
tory. The picture was so admirable a like
ness that Mr. Ryder solicited and obtained
the privilege of placing a copy in his case
at the street entrance. On Thursday morn
ing the likeness made its appearance there,
and, as we have before remarked, attracted
considerable attention.
On that morning a number of Michigan
soldiers, taken prisoners at Bull Run, and
set at liberty on parole after nine months'
incarceration in southern prisons, arrived
from Washington, and remained in the
city until the departure of the Detroit boat
in the evening. During the day they
amused themselves by strolling around the
city. One of them, seeing a group of peo
ple gathered around the steps near the
Merchant's Bank, stepped up to learn the
cause, and like the others turned to exam
ine the photographs. Suddenly lie uttered
an exclamation of surprise, ltoked closely
at the portrait of the young widow, and
then rushed up stairs to find the artist.—
.Mr. Ryder being pointed out to him, the
soldier brought him down and begged to
know how he became possessed of the pic
ture, and an explanation was given. In a
few hurried words the soldier stated the
cause of his interest, obtained the picture
from the case, aud declared his intention of
finding the lady it she was anywhere to be
found.
Fortunately Mr. Ryder knew the lady
who accompanied the young widow, and
at once went with the soldier to her resi
dence. Both ladies were at home. No
sooner did the young widow see the soldier
than she shrieked and fell in a faintingfit,
for her lover, whom she had supposed dead,
stood before her. He had been taken pri
soner at Bull Run instead of being killed,
but had refused to write to any person,
and his comrades in prison knew nothing
of his friends or previous history, so that
the fact of his captivity remained known
to but few, if any. Mutual explanations
followed the happy meeting, and there is
every indication that all obstacles having
been removed, the sorrows and sufferings
of the pain will be terminated by a happy
marriage at no distant day. At all events
the widow's visit to the East has been in
definitely postponed, and she has returned
to Michigan, the now happy re-united
couple having first sent to Ryder for a pair
of large photographic portraits, and taking
his own portrait with them as a souvenir
of the joyful meeting caused by a picture
from his camera.
A Fatal New Disease. —A New York
correspondent writes to the Philadelphia
Despatch :
We have got a disease that is going about
amongst us that is almost too insignificant
in appearance to be worth attention, and
yet often kills in twenty-four hours. It is
called the 'malignant pustule.' It first ap
pears in the shape of a small pimple about
the mouth or nose, and, no matter how
treated, rapidly runs into the most fright
ful exhibitions of grangrenous sores defy
ing all remedy, and carrying off tho pa
tient instanter. Several persons have died
recently, in this city, of this terrible disor
der, and more in Brooklyn. I have wit
nessed one alarming instance myself.—
The physicians stand aghast. The public
grows alarmed. Those attacked give up
in despair, and those who escape it are in
oonstant apprehension.
I BgyParson Brownlow, in accepting an
! invitation to lecture before the New York
; Union Association, a few weeks ago, says :
'Southern man as I am, if the South in
her madness and folly, will force the issue
upon the country, of slavery and no Union,
or a Union and no slavery, lam for the
Union, though every other institution in the

Union, if it shall require 'coercion/ or 'sub

Beyond the Mountains.
Ihe little child was dying. His weary
limbs were racked with pain no more.
The flush was fading from his thin cheek,
and the fever that had been drying up his
blood for many days was now cooling rap
idly under the touch of the icy hand that
was upon him.
There were sounds of bitter but sup
pressed grief in that dim chamber, for the
dying little one was very dear to many
hearts. 1 hey knew that he was departing,
and the thought was hard to bear ; but they
might not disturb the last moments of their
darling.
The father and mother and the kind
physician stood beside dear little Arthur's
bed, and watched his heavy breathing
He had been silent for some time, and ap
peared to sleep. They thought it might
be thus he would pass away; but suddenly
his mild blue eyes opened wide and clear,
and a beautiful smile broke over his fea
tures. He looked upward and forward at
first, and then turning his eyes upon his
mother's face, said in a clear, sweet voice:
' Mother, what is the name of that
beautiful country that I sec away beyond
the mountain—the high mountain ?"
I I can see nothing, my child,' said the
mother; ' there are no mountains in sight
of our home.'
' Look there, dear mother,' said the
child, pointing upward, 'yonder are the
mountains. Can you not see them now ?'
he asked in tones of great astonishment, as
his mother shook her head. ' They are so
near me now—so large and high, and the
people are so happy—there are no siek
children there. Papa can you not see be
yond the mountains? Tell me the name
of that land ?
The parents glanced at each other, and
with united voice, replied :
'The land you see is Heaven, is it not,
mv child ?'
' Yes, it is Heaven, I thought that must
be its name. Oh, let me go—but how
shall 1 cross these mountains ? Father, will
you not carry me, for they call me from
the other side, and I uiyst go ?'
There was not a dry eye in that cham
ber, aud upon every heart fell a solemn
awe, as the curtain which concealed its
mysteries were about to be withdrawn.
'My son,' said the father; ' will you
stay with us a little while longer ? You
shall cross the mountain soon, but in
stronger arms than mine. Wait—stay
with your mother a little longer; see how
she weeps at the thought of loosing you !'
'Oh, mother! oh, father! do not cry,
but come with me and cross the mountain
—oh, come !' aud thus he entreated, with
a strength and earnestness which aston
ished all.
The chamber was filled with wondering
and awe stricken friends. At length he
turned to his mother with a face beaming
with rapturous delight, and, stretching out
his little arms to her for her last embrace,
he cried :
'Good-bye, mother, I Bin going; but
don't you be afraid—the strong arm has
come to carry me over the mountains!'
These were his parting words ; upon his
mother's breast he breathed his last; and
they laid the little fair boy down again
upon the pillow and closed the lids over
the beautiful blue eyes, over which the
mists of depth had gathered heavily, and
bowing by the bedside, praying with sub
missive, though bleeding hearts, and said :
' The Lord gave and the Lord has taken
away. Blessed be the name of the Lord !'
Plenty.
In the midst of the gloom of our na
tional troubles, a kind Providence has
vouchsafed to us an abupdance of all the
necessaries of life. From all the loyal
States comes news of the roost abundant
crops. The wheat crop has been safely
harvested, and was never better, take the
country through. Com is promising finely;
and ol fruits there never was a better pros
pect. Prices are reasonable —not too low
for the producer, nor too high for the con
sumer. What great reason we have for
thankfulness in all this. While those who
brought this war upon the country for the
purpose of overthrowing and destroying
the Government are compelled to pay the
most exorbitant prices for the aotual neo
essaries of life, and in many cases are suff
eiing from want of food, while their ooun
try is desolated and the business of their
towns and cities destroyed, we, who are
laboring and fighting for the maintenance
of our Government, are blessed with the
greatest abundance of everything, our
fields are richly laden with bounteous
crops, and the business of our towns and
cities scarcely feels, as yet, any inconveni
ence from the war. Is there not something
more than accident in all this ? Is not
the same benefioient hand that strength
ened and guided the patriot fathers in the
establishment of thia Government now be
stowing it* blessings on those who are
striving to maintain it? — Chillicothe Ga
zette.

eyes of others are the eyes that ruin us.

WAR NEWS,
THE UNITED STATES NAVY.
Work of the Year.
The Secretary of the Navy in his last
annual report, said :
Most of the public armed vessels being
of such size and draught of water that they
could render only imperfect blockading ser
vice. immediately measures were taken by
the department to carry into effect the policy
ol the Government, in advance of the special
session of Congress, by contracting for the
construction of twenty three steamers which
should be of light draught, but heavy arma
ment. Congress, at the regular session, had
authorized the building of seven screw
steamers, and as there were four yards, in
each of which two might be built, the'de
partment, in the existing emergency, and in
anticipation of the action of Congress when
it should oonveoe, directed the construction
of eight, dividing them into two classes of
about obe thousand and fourteen hundred
tons, respectively. At the special session,
Congress not only sanctioned the action of
the department in the construction of these
thirty-one steamers, but it authorised the
further construction of twolve side-wheel
steamers of light draught, aad of six of
larger capacity, to be modeled and built spec
ially for speed."
The original plan for building the new
vessels has bean departed from in some
respects, and a number of iron-clad gun
boats, not alluded to in the report, have
also been built.
The following is a brief summary of the
new steamers constructed especially for the
United States Government within the last
twelve months:
Wooden gunboats (by contract) 23

Side-wheel steamers (by the Department) 18

Of these, all save the iron-clads and the

Outbreak at Camp Douglas.
Chicago was wild with excitement last
Wednesday night, owing to startling rum
ors which prevailed at every street corner,
and every public place, that the whole
Rebel throng of prisoners of war had made
an outbreak at Camp Douglas. The meag
er aooounts, conflicting at first, were mag
nified and exaggerated as they passed from
person to person, so that at 11 o'olock it
was generally believed that the whole 8,000
prisoners had fallen on the little garrison,
had taken them prisoners, and were busily
preparing for a capture of the city.
At the City Railway offices the real facts
were first received. A conductor on one
of the down-coming ears reported that two
companies of the Rebels had made a rush
at some of the sentries, but were repulsed
with loss. There had been some firing on
the part of the garrison, and the long-roll
was beat, after which tho prisoners became
quiet and order was restored.
A oourier was now dispatched to the
camp, to inquire into the affairs, and bring
back a true statement of the facts
The facts of the case, as near as could
be ascertained, arc that two companies of
prisoners made a desperate attempt to break
j through the lines, after knocking down
1 the sentinel with a briek. The guard ral
New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 40,
lied, and succeed in driving a portion back.
A few made their escape. One cannon
and a few muskets were fired into the
crowd, and a number of the prisoners were
killed and wounded. It was undoubtedly
an attempt to execute a bold and concerted
plan for a general stampede, and, had it
proved successful, it would be difficult to
conceive of the disastrous results which
might have followed. It is evident that
such a plan has been in contemplation for
some time among the prisoners, as several
attempts have been made, within the past
three weeks, to force the guards, but with
out success. It shows the desperate uaturc
of the prisoners, and a reckless determin
ation to effect their release even at the
sacrifice of life.
B£%_The following letter we take from
the Valley Star, and publish by request:
BATTLE GROUND or FAIR OAKS, 1
June 5, 1862. )
DBAR FRIS.VD— I write in haste—scarcely
having time to write a word. I was in the
battle on Sunday last. On Saturday, at 3
o'clock, we crossed the Chickahominy, and ar
rived at the ground of that day's fight about
11 o'clock at night. We slept on the ground
in the rain, and vrithin 100 yards of a Reb
el Brigade, the rest of the night. At last
dayligiit appeared, and a beautiful day it was.
The sun rose in all its beauty, upon a day on
which it was predestined that there should be
blood enough shed to write the history of the
war. About 6 o'clock a regiment moved for
ward into a woods oa our left; others soon
followed; at last we are ordered forward—•
we move into the woods about 900 yards, and
are ordered to halt—but, hark 1 what sound
is that we hear ! Ti§ the roar of musketry.-
Louder and louder, nearer and nearer it
comes—at last a bright flame starts up in
front of us, bringing down many of our bravo
boys. We return the volley, and then blaze
away as fast as we can. The ball has opened,
and many have already chosen Death for
their partner. All our troops are now en
gaged, the fight is at its height, the noise is
terrific, the scene awfully grand—thus the
fight continues for four hoars—nothing is
heard but the roar of musketry and the
groans of the wounded and dying. All of a
sudden the musketry ceases, and the roar of
artillery is heard in its plaoe. The enemy
are repulsed at every point, their oolutns
broken and defeated, and they are now in
full retreat. The day is ours, and our own'
Division (Richardson's) has wbipped the ar
my that whipped our two Divisions the day
before. We were then drawn out of the
woods, into an open field. A few minutes
later. Generals McClellan, Sumner and Rich
ardson rode by. We gave them oheer upon
cheer: The news then reaohed us that wo
had met and defeated three Divisions, the
flower of the Rebel army.
We received heavy reinforcements last
night and to-day. There is no danger of an :
attack from the Rebels now. They have got
enough of it. Y'our friend,
ABU. CASH.
What the Democratic Papers Say.
Tho Ashland Union in speaking of the
Union army uses the following language :
" Hired Hessians, going to the sunny
southern soil to butcher by wholesale, no
foreigners but good men, as exemplary Christ
tians as any of our men, who believe they
are fighting for God given rights."
The Crawford County Forum, in speak,
ing of the present Administration, says :
"If the Devil himself had been elected
and inaugurated in the plaoe of Abraham
Lincoln, with instructions to utterly ruin the
Government and people of the United States
in the shortest possible time, we do not know
what he oould havo done that baa not been
done by the Republicans."
Again, the Union in speaking of the war
says:
" This is a damned Abolition tear. We be
lieve Abe Lincoln is as much of a traitor as
Jeff. Davis I"
Wegivo these extracts without oomment.
Got His Dues. — J. J. Jacobs, the editor
of the Ashland (Ohio) Union, who said
that this war was ' a d—d abolition war,
and that Abe Lincoln was as much a trai
tor as Jeff Davis,' and has on various oc
casions preached treason, recently got beau
tifully thrashed by a lieutenant in one of
the Ohio oompanies. Jacobs was belching
forth his treason to a crowd, when the
lieutenant approached him and remarked
that' the government paid $l2O per month
to lick just such miserable ousseß,' turned
in and ' wiped out' the traitor editor. That
lieutenant should be detailed for service in
this direction.
Appalling Tragedy in Canada. —The
Quebec Chronicle gives an acoount of s
horrible tragedy which took place in Stan
