from the Overland Month falliboro.) OIROVrall OF CALAVA4tAIk -- • , BY F. 11RET A subdued tone of cotiVe*tion*and the absence of cigar -smoke, add' Wet-4as%, atAhe windows of the Wingdam'stage-coach, made it evident that one of the inside passengers was a woman. A disposition on the part of loun geS: atthe - stations, to congregate before the window ; and some . concern in regard to ~the' aPPWAITO 000.;f )lakt,abC.oQiiars fu;rtber Indicated that she was lovely. All o ' f which Mi. Jack Hamlin, on the box-seat, noted with the smile of cynical philosophy.. Not that be depreciated the' sex, but that. he recognized therein: a deceitful element, the pursuit of which, sometimes drew mankind away from the equally tMeertain blandishinenta of poker —of which it may be remarked that Mr. Ham lin was a prefessional exponent. So that, when he placed his • narrow boot on , the wheel and leaped down, he did not even glance at the .windoir from which a green ,veil was fluttering,. but lounged up and, down with that listless and grave indifference of his class, which was, perhaps, the next. thing to good breeding. His closely-buttoned figure. and self-constrained. air, were in marked contras' t to the other passengers, . and . their feverish rest 7 lessnees, and boisterous emotion and even Bill Masters,.a graduate of Harvard, with his slovenly dress, his overflowing vitality, his in tense appreciation of lawlessness and barba rism, and his mouth filled with crackers and cheese, I fear, cut but, an unromantic figure beside this lonely calculator of chances, with his pale Greek face, and Homeric gravity. The driver called "all aboard," and Mr. Hamlin returned to the coach. His foot was upon the • wheel,. and his face raised to the level of the open window, when 9 at the same•moment, what appeared to him to be the finest eyes in the world suddenly met his. He quietly dropped down again, addressed a few words to one of the inside passengers, ef fected an exchange of seats, and as quietly took his place inside. Mr. Hamlin never allowed his philosophy. to interfere .with decisive and prompt action. 4. fear that this irruption of Jack cast some restraint upon the other passengersparticu larly those who were making themselves most agreeable to the lady. One of' thoinleaned for ward and apparently conveyed to her infertile thin regarding. Mr. Hamlin's profession, in a single epithet. Whether Mr.'Hamlin heard it or ' Whether he , recognized •in the in-' formant a distinguished jttrist, from whom, but a Tew eveningi before, he" had won several thousand dollars, I Can . not sa His colorless face betrayed no sign; • his black Cyps; quietly ouservauL, gianceu mantel ently -past the legal gentleman, and rested on the much more pleasing features of his neigh ' bor. An Indian. stoicism—said to be an In heritance from his maternal ancestor;—stood hirn in good service, until the rolling wheels rattled upon the river-gravel at Scott's Ferry, and the stage drew np at the International hotel, for dinner. The legal gentleman and aniember of Congress leaped out, and stood ready to assist the descending - goddess, while • Colonel Starbottle, of Siskiyou, took charge of parasol and shawl. In this multiplicity of attention ) there was a.rnomeutary confusion and delay; Jack Hamlin quietly opened the opposite door of the coach, took the lady's hand—with that decision and positiveness which a hesitating and undecided sex know how ~ to ad mireand in an instant had dexterously and gracefully swung her to the ground, and again lifted her to the , platform. An audible chuekle on the box, I fear, came from that other cynic, "Yuba Bill," the driver. "Look keerfully aster that baggage, Kernel," said the expressman, with affected concorn,as he looked after Colonel Starbottle, gloomily bringing up tiv rear of the triumphant procession to the waiting-room. • • Mr. Hamlin did not stay for dinner. His horse was already saddled and awaiting him. He dashed over the ford, up the gravelly hill, and out into the dusty perspective of the Wing -darn road, like one leaving an unpleasant fancy behind hiin. The inmates of dusty cabins by . thp . roadside shaded . their eyes with Ikands, . and. looked 'after him, recog nizing the man by his horse, and specu lating what was up with Comanche Jack." Yet • mach of this interest cen tered in the horse, in a community where the • time made by " French - Pete's" mare, in his ranlrom the Sheriff of Calaveras, eclipsed all concern in the ultimate fate of that worthy. The sweating flanks of his gray at length re called him to himself. He checked his speed, and, turning into a by-road—sometimes used as a cut-off—trotted leisurely along the reins hanging listlessly front his fingers. As he rode :on the character of the land icape changed, and became more pas toral. Openings in groves of pine and syca more disclosed some rude attempts at eultiva tion—a flowering vine trailed over the porch of one cabin, and a woman rocked her cradled babe under the roses of another. A little farther on, Mr. Hamlin came upon some bare-legged children, wading in the willowy creek, and so wrought upon them with a badinage peculiar - hfritself that -- - they- were- - emboldened to - up his horse's legs and over his saddle, Until he •WaS fain " to • develop an exaggerated ferocity of demeanor, and' to escape, leaving behind some kisses and coin. And then, advancing deeper into the , woods where all sign of habitation failed, he' began to.sine—uplifting a tenor so singularly sweet-,.and aaded by a pathos so subduing and tender, that I wot the robins and linnets stopped to listen. Mr. Hamlin's voice was not '.cultivated; the subject of his song was some sentimental lunacy, borrowed from the . negro minstrels, but there was some occult quality of tone and expression that thrilled through all to spirit ' tinexpresi3ibly touching. Indeed, it was a won derful-sight-to. see this--sentimental-blackleg, with a pack of cards in his pocket and a re volver at bis back, sending his voice before Jim: through the dim woods with a plaint about hie " Welly's grave," .in a way that overflowed the ,eyes.of the listener. .A sparrow-hawk, fresh from bis sixth victim, possibly' recognizing in Mr: Efamlin.a kindred spirit, stared at him in surprise, and was fain to confess the superiority . . Or.man. With a superior predatory capacity, he 'couldn't sing. 2114 Mr. 44:yeilin presently found himself aicalikon the high-road,and at his former pace. Pltobeti atsul , batilte of gavel,denuded hill-sides, stusopS Mid decayed trunks of trees took the plate of woodland and ravine, and indicated his' aPiproach 'to civilization. • Then a church steeple tame in sight., and he knew that he had reached' home: /a a few moments - he was clattering ' down ' the single narrow street, that lost itself in a chaotic ruin of races, ditches, and tailings at the foot a the hill, and dismounted before the gilded viindovifi of the "Magnolia" saloon. Passing . trough the long bar-rootu, he pushed open a peen-baize . door, entered a dark. passage, opened another door with a pass-key, and found himself in a dimly lighted room, 'whose furni ture, though elegant and costly for the locality, fsliowcd signs of abuse. The inlaid i t_ atre-table was overlaid with stained disks 1 were not conteMplated in the original ign.. , The embroidered arm-chairs were dis colored, and the green-velvet lounge on which '34r.1 Hamlin threw himself, was wiled at the 109twith the red soil of Witigdam. • ' • !liff'., Ilarrilin did not sing in his cage. He lay stili lopltMg at a highly-colored painting above 1 4u 1 ) '. representing .a young creature of o p u j e w,.. l dams.. . It occurred .to him then, , for . the : first time, that he tad AleVter . seen exactly that kind of a 1 11-IEAMILY #O.

But justl,ben some one knocked at the:door. ,With .out rising he pulbiota cordibat apparently 'shot back'a bolt for tbe'doer"iwung , open, and a nrim entered. The new-Comer was broad-shouldered and robust—a vigor not borne out in the face, which, then& handsome, was singularly weak, and disfigured by dissipation. He appeared to be also under the influence of liquor, for he started on seeing Mr. Hamlin,. and said, "I thought Kate was here ;" stammered, and seemed con fused and embarrassed. ' Mr. Hamlin smiled the smile which he had before worn on the Wingdam coach, and sat up, quite refreshed,and ready for busi ness.. i ' "'Yen 'didn't come up - on the stage," con :tinned the new-comer, "did you ?" • ; iaPlied Hamlin ; "I left it at Scott's Veiry. It isn't due for half an hour yet. But how's luck, Brown ?" " bad," said Brown, his face suddenly kissliminean expression of weak despair: I'm Cleaned out again. Jack," he continued, in a whining tone, that for Med a pitiable contrast to • his bulky figure, "can't you help me with a hundred.till to-morrow's' clean-up?: You see I've got to send money home to the old woman, and—you've won twenty times that amount from me." : • • The conclusion was, perhaps, not entirely logical, but Jack overlooked it; and handed the sum to his visitor. '4 4 The'. old-Woman 'busi ness is about played out, Brown," he added,by way of commentary ; why don't you say you want to buck agiu faro ? You know you ain't married !" • • • " ,said Brown, with a _sud den gravity, -as'lf the mere - contact of. the gold with, the . palm. of the _hand had imparted some dignity to. his. frame. " I've got a wife—a d—d good one; too, if I 'do say the States. It's three 'year since I've seen her, and a year ail:lee 'l've • 'writ to her. When things is about straight, and, we • get down to the lead, I'm going to send'for her." "And Kate?" queried Mr. Hamlia, with his previous smile. Mr. Brown, of Calaveras,' essayed an arch:: ness of glanee, to cover his confusion, which his weak face.and whisky-muddled intellect but poorly,carried out, and said : • "D---it; Jack, a mail must have a little liberty, you know. But come, what do you say to a little game?.Give us a show to dou be this hundred." Jack Hamlin looked curiously at his fatuous friend. 'Perhaps ho knew that 'the'citan - Was Predestined to lose the money, nd preferred that it should flow back into his own coffers rather than in any other. .He nodded his head, and drew his chair toward the' table. At the same moment there came a rap upon the door. . "It's Rate," said Mr. Brown. ,Mr. Hamlin shot back the bolt, and the door opened. But for the fast time in 'his life, he staggered to his feet, utterly, unnerved and abashed, and for the first time in his life, the hot blood crimsoned his colorless cheeks to his forehead." For before him stood . the;• lady he had lifted from the Wingdam edoach, whoM Brown—dropping his cards with a hysteriCal laugh—greeted as "My old woman, by thunder !" They say that Mrs. Brown burst into tears, and reproactes'of her husband. I saw ber, in 185'7, at Marysville, and disbelieve the story. And the Wingclani Chronicle, ,of the next Week, under the head of " Toucing Reunion," said :—" One of those beautiful and touching incidents, peCuliar to California life,' oc curred, last week, in ,our, city.. The wife of one of Wingdam's eminent • pioneers, tired of the effete civilization Of :.the East, and its inhospitable climate, resolved to join her noble husband, upon these golden shoreS. Without informing him of her intention, she undertook the long journey, Mut arrived last week. The joy of the husband may be easier imagined than described. The meeting is said to have been indescribably affecting. We trust her example may be followed:" Whether owning,to Mrs. Brown's influence, or to sane more successful speculations, Mr. Brown's financial fortune, front that day, steadily improved. lie bought out his partners in the "Nip and Tuck" lead, with money said tolave been won at poker,' a week or two after his Wife's arrival, but which rmnor,adopt- Mg Mrs. Brown's theory that Brown had for sworn the gaining table, alleged to have been furnished by • ° Mr. ,Jack Hamlin. He built and furnished the "Wingdam House," which • pretty Mrs. Brown's great ,popularity kept overflowing with guests. He was elected to the- Assembly, and gave largess to churches. A street in Wiugdam was named in his honor. Yet, it was noted that in proportion as,he waxed wealthy and fortunate, he grew pale, thin and anxious. As his wife's poptilarity. in creased, lie became fretful and impatient. The most uxorious of husbands—he was absurdly, jealous. If he did not interfere with his wife's social liberty, it was because—it was Mali ciously whispered—that his first and only at tempt was Met - by an outburst from "Mrs. Brown.that terrified him into silence. Much of this kind - of gossip came frorrillkise Of her oWn .sex whom she had supplanted in the chivalrous attentions of Wingdam : which, like'most pop ular chivalry, was "ife - voted to an admiration' of- power, whether of inasculine fOrce or feminine beauty. It should be remem bered, too, in her extenuation, that, since her arrival, she bad been the unconscious priestess of a mythological worship, perhaps. not more ennobling to her womanhood than that which distinguished an ' older Greek democracy. 1 think that Brown was dimly conscious of this. But his only confidant was Jack Hamlin, whose infelix reputation natu rally precluded any open nitimacy with the family, and whose visits were infrequent.. It was midsummer, 'and a moonlit night; -and Mrs: - Brown,- very rosy,- large-eyed-and pretty, sat upon the piazza, enjoying the fresh incense of the mountain breeze, and; It is to - be feared, another incense, which was not so "fresh, nor quite as innocent. Besidtzi..bec sat. Colonel Starbottle and Judge Boomoointer, and a later addition to her court, - in the shape of a foreign tourist: She was in good spirits. "What do you see down the road?" in quired the gallant. Colonel,, who had been.con7 scions, for the last few minutes, that Mrs. Brawn's attention was diverted. "Dust," said Mrs.: Brown, with a sigh. " Only sister Anne's.k.flock of sheep.' " The Colonel, whose literary recollections did not extend farther back hist:week's paper, took a more practical view. "It ain't sheep," he continued; "it's 'a horseman. Judge, ain't that Jack Hamlin's gray ?" But the Judge didn't know; and, as Mrs. Brown suggested, the air was growing too cold for further investigations, they retired to the parlor. Mr. Brown was hi the stable, where he generally retired after dinner. Perhaps it was to show his contempt for his wife's compan ions; perhaps, like other weak natures he found pleasure in the exercise of absolute power over inferior animals. He had a certain gratification in the training of a chestnut more, whom he could beat or - earess as pleased him, whleit he couldn't do with Mrs. Brown. I 4 way_ here that he recognized a certain gray horse hich had just C 01111). in, and, looking a little farther on, found,-his, rider. Brown's greeting waS Cordial and lina*:/;ldr. Hamlin's somewhat raftdined. — ;Brown's urgent regoest, he followed him up the back-stairs, to a narrow corridor; and thence to a small room looking out uport, the stable-yard. It was plainly furnished with, a bed, a table, a few chairs, and a rack for guns and whips. I..‘'llds-yer's in hoe;;.

"But I'm • glad to see ye, Jack, el— glad," and - he reached from the bed, and again shook the unresponsive hand of Jack Ilamlin. "I brought ye up here, for ,I didn't , i want I to talk in the stable ; though,., 'for' the 'matter' of round that, it's all town. Don't strike a . light. We can talk here in the, moonshine. ,Put up Your feet on that winder, add asit here. beside , me., Thar's whisky in that jug." , Mr. Hamlin did not , vail himself of the 'ha -1 fortnation: 'Brewn, of 'CalaVertiS,' turned his face to the Wall; and centinned;'' ' I "If 1 'didn't ye,' the Wonian, Jack, T wouldn't VIIML But it's lOiing ier, ,aMt 'see mg her, day arter day, goire,owat this rate, and no one to put down; the brake ; that'S what Bits 'mei But glad to see •ye, Jack, d— •ln the darkfiess„ he groped about until' be had found and wrung this coMpabion'S hand again. He w,ouhl have' detained, it, but Jack slipped it into the buttoned breast of his coat, and asked, listlessly, "How long has this been going on 1" .

" But that ain't all, Jack; and it's what I wanted, to see you about, and 'l'm , glad you've come. It ain't that she dOetn't lOve me any more,;, it ain't that she fools' with every chap that comes along, for, perhaps, I staked her love and 'lost it, as. I did everything else at the Magnolia; and, perhaps, foolin' is nateral to some women, and thar ain't no great harm done, 'cept to the fools. But, Jack, I think— I think she loves somebody else,.

To have her steal away ike a thief—)" He put his face down ward ,to the •pillow,(and, for a few moments, there was no sound but the ticking of a clock on the mantel., Mr. Hamlin lit •a• cigar, and mov.eu to tot Open windoW. • The gluon no longer shone liP the room, and the bed and its occupant were in shadow. "What-shall I do, Jack ?" said the voice from the darkness. The answer came promptly and clearly from the window-side: "Spot the man, and kill him on sight." • " But, Jack ?" "He's took the risk!" "But will that bring her back?" Jack did not reply, but moved from the win dow toward the door. ' i 4 Don't go yet, Jack; light the candle, and sit by the table. it's a comfort to see ye, if nothin' else."' 'Jack hesitated, and then coraplied. lie drew a pack of cards from his pocket and shuffled them, glancing.at the bed. But Brown's face was turned to the wall. When Mr. Hamlin had shuffled the cards, he cut them, and dealt one card on the opposite side of the table and toward the bed, and another on his side of the table, for himself. The first was a deuce; his own card, a king. He then shuffled and cut again. This time " dummy " had a queen and himself a four spot. Jack brightened up for the third deal. It brought his adversary a deuce and himself a king again. "Two out of three," said Jack, audibly. " What's that, Jack ?" said Brown. "Nothing." Then Jack tried his hand with dice; but he always threiv sixes, and his imaginary oppo nent aces. The torte of habit is sometimes confusing. Meanwhile, some magnetic influence in Mr._ Hamlin's presence, or the anodyne of liquor, ;or 'both, brought surcease of sorrow, and Brown slept. Mr. Hatalin moved his chair to the window, 'and looked out on the town of Wing dam, now sleeping peacefully—its harsh out lines softened andsubdued, its glaring - colors mellowed and sobered in the moonlight that flowed over an. In the hush he could hear the gurgling of. water in the ditches, and the sighing of the pines beyond the hill. Then he looked np at the firmament, .anti, at the did so, a star shot 'across the twinkling field. Presently another, and then .another. The phenomenon suggested to Mr. Ham lin a flesh augury. If, in another fifteen minutes,: another star should fall—. He sat there, watch in band, for twice that time, but the phenomenon was not repeated. The clock struck two, and Brown still slept. Mr. Hamlin approached the table and took from his pocket a letter, which he read by' the ,flickering candle-light. It contained only a .single line, written in pencil, in a woman's band: 64 Be at the corral, with the buggy, at three.'? The sleeper moved uneasily, and then awoke. • 4, Are you there, Jack 2" " Yes." "Don't go yet. L dreamed, just now, Jack —dreamed of old times. I thought that Sue and rue was being married again, and that the parson, Jack, was—who do you think?— you! The gambler laughed, and seated himself on the bed—the paper still in his hand. " It's a good sign, ain't it?" queried Brown. "I reckon. Say, obi man, hadn't you better get ?" The " old man," thus aflectionately appealed to, rose, with' the assistance of Hamlin ' s out stretched hand. . ."Smoke ?" Brown mechanically took the profera•ed ci gar. " Light?" ' • ' Jack had twisted the letter into a spiral, lit it, and held it for his'compartion. He continued to hold it until it was consumed, and drOpped‘ .the fragment—a' fiery star—from the open window. He watched it as it fell, and then returned to h 1 friend. "Old nitan," be said, placing his hands ttpon. Brown's shoulders, in ten minutes 1.11, be on ; the road, and gone like that spark. We won't see each other agiu ; but, before I go, take a fool's advice: sell out all you've got; take your wife with you, and quit the country.' It ain't no place for you, nor her. Tell her she ;must go; make her go, if she won't. Don't whine because you can't be a saint, and She ain't an angel. Be a man, and treat her like'a woman. Don't be ad— fool. Good, by." He tore himself' from Brown's grasp, and leaped down the stairs like a deer. the stable-doer .he collared the half-sleeping.hostler, and backed him against the wall. "Saddle my' horse in two minutes, or I'll—" The ellipsis, was frightfully suggestive. " The missis said you was to have• the huggy,", stammered the man. " theiMa b gy I" • . .

LO AND A YANKEE PRISONER. Romantic Adventure of a DOwn Laster. [)row the Lewistown (Hs.) Journal.) Franklin Maxwell, a man of about 35 years of age, a native of Atinusta, with a wife living with her father in New Sharon, waited upon us on Monday, and presented papers and cer tificates which ''appeared reliable, and gave the following account of his life for the past four — years. 'Ear!yin - the rebellion, Maxwell entered We • regular army, arid served during the war without receiving a wound. Being discharged at the expiration of his term of service, he re turned to Maine, and three years ago he left his wife. and.home for the West, to, seek em ployment. Reaching Detroit, he engaged as a wagoner for We United States,and was ordered to Oolorado, where, for nearly three years, he was engaged in driving supply teams from Dry:- town to various points where the Government had forts or rendezvous for troops. •On the sth . ofildarch last, as he and others were conducting a supply train in the Pawn Tane Valley; about three hundred miles south ofile PaciticjtailroaAl, the train was surprised by LittlaKettle's band of Indiane, several of the whites -killed, and-he-and-five nothers -taken - prisoners. lie himself received two wounds in his leg,one in his side and a blow from a toma hawk on , his bead: The prisonersmerataken to Little 'Kettle's' tamp,' when 'all but himself were at once. taken out, cut down with toma hawks and scalped:` Two of the whites , thuS killed and scalped were William Hanson, of ReadflelC and George TO Wo1"3, Of.. Winthrop: . The scalps were hung upon a pole and the scalp dance performed,arpund them t Maxwell him Self came very near meeting the fate of ''his'aiseciatee.‘ 'TWo Indians the same time seized binirby the shoulders, while a third began to scalp -him. , The' circular wounds made by the knife are plainly, visible. At this point Maxwell had the presence of mind to make knOWn by hit gesticulations and a few Indian words which ire ; pad : picked up, that he had whisky and tobacco for them—an announcement Which acted like Magic on the red men, and led them to desist. l le then led them to' a private , box In the 'wagims," which` they had overlooked, where 'was' a small quam tity these . articles. -SO overjoyed , were the Indiatiaatethe disedvery of these artieles,.that: tkey Spared iSlaxwell's life, and at once .took. hintte,a wigwatn, when - a squaw did up his wound in a raw buffalo bide; • Maiwell . Waanade practically a slave to the baud—did whatever he was commanded to do, and went:with...them on their hunting parties., At,first be was :treated harshly, but as he learned'inore of itheir language and adopted more of their manners, his treatment' became better. 'When he bad reached the point of eating ia* antelope and buffalo, they were delighted, and began-to think it was . time for him to take a squaw for a wife. All this time Maxwell, while appearing very much attached to - bls'lndlan life; 'was all tiro r 'while - seeking' an 'opportunity ta escape. Finally, on the 10th tilt., wheil knit , ona.buttaln' Infrit ,with:rtheqa-" Mans, he managed In the chase to separate himself frOm his Indian eoinradekWand eters fortnight's wandering; reachaa.it/nitedristates frontier fort.
