A4IOIIANCE OF REAL
A TrialiglOp
TaL , TII 18 STRANGER :THAN FICTION.
We have recently become acquainted with
the facts of: one of the moA extraordinary
dramas iii) ;
social 1 le of which we have know
., \
ledge.' he materiel, which will gradually
until'. / sail] the following narrative, cum
-- "I, with the reqvisite machinery, and in=-

Complete a profoundly ;interesting, if not an
absolutely thrilling romance. Our sketch,
however, is an unfinished daguerreotype of
facts which recently transpired in one,Of the
most attractive inland cities of the "'dark and
bloody ground," and situated not a hundred
miles distant from." la Bella Riviere.", We
submit the skeleton, leaving the elaboration
and finishing touches' to be woven into dra
matic texture, to artists enjoying more time
and ix:mussing more skill and imagination
than we command. •
A lady, youthful, lovely, accomplished, and
the danghter of a distinguished Kentuckian,
enjoying independent competence, imperious-.
ly commanded theedmiration of .the gallants
of the vicinage, and attracted zealous suitors
from abroad. She was a belle of, most unri
valled charms,: and, received numerous dee
'stations of attachtient, many of them ar
dent and sincere. Like most queenly dain
sels enjoying fortunate positions in the social
world,. she was an apt mistress of coqbetry,
and wielded her resistless sceptre unmerciful-
Ilupon all w tured within the charmed
radii of her m fascinations.
She, reigned ruts essly during a long and
Jarilliant - eareer;ead her reputation for come
lin and social skill neither waned with the .
lope lot time or her cruel exercise of power,.
but seemed to. be promoted without apparent
ly approaching culmination, and splendidly
illastMted the remorseless tyranny - of ca
pricious and passionless beauty. Fatigued at
huh, satiated with the common-place triumphs
of ordinary coquetg she introduced, by way
ofepisude, the exient of engagement to
, zruirry. Not satisfied, however, with the
usual i termination of happy courtship, she
impraved upon obtaining customs ; ,by be
trothing herself to two lovers., whom she ad ,
roitly managed to keep profoundly
_ignorant
: of. Omit . Mutual prebmstons and expectations.
:One atidor. was a talented young minister,
possessions,;, The other a gentleman
of "'elegant - leisure," and lord of many broad,
mats. Both were tab* fur the whimsical
heatity, each conscious of the other's devotion,
bat as we have said, mutually unaware of
their mutual success. The' young , minister
Waslfavored by the damsel's father, and was
• accepted by him tbr the future son•in-law.—
Acquainted with, the mother's hostility to
himielf, and conscious of her preference for
as well as conceiving 'the father's
;Consent adequate for the accomplishtaent of
hie purposes; :and trusting to time and
eireinnstanee to mitigate 'her prejudices the
ilyoung minister forbade application -to her.—
ls rival; meantime had been atx?epted by
the. Mother—who, like himself, was igaerant
Of the young minister's successful negotiations
ind deeming himielfsuffieiently justified to

propeed, wed appreciating the father's objec !
tions to himself, he, on the other hand, as his
rival had refrained from submitting his pi- .
titian' to the mother, neglected his objections

happiest success, and it „ie presumable she

At daybreak, on the morning of the 12th,
of September, Goverr4r Geary, at. the head
of 400 United States troops, rode up to the
fort 6n Capitol Hill, ri ar Lawrence, and ask
ed who had cJiiimand of the plaCe. Captain
Bickerton answered : 'I have the honor to
command here at pr ent." The GOvernor
then advanced, saying " I am Governor Gett-A
ry, of Kansas ; I have come to prevent the
effusion of blood. 1 b ve heard that a body ,
of fifteen hundred m n were marching on
Lawrence. for the pu pose of destroying the'
the town:" Geary w then asked if be knew
that to be a fact, and 'replied. that be had it
"officially." Captain Bickerton ,remarked,
that "if there were n more than ryteen'hun- I
Bred, they will go back fiester than they came." '

With an appearance o astonishment; the Goy- I
ernbr asked, "Don't ou expect to be-govern

responded, that the F ee State _men bad at- 1

the Governor, " don't your peoplesometimes

" I should not wonde if, by this time, sotne

turned Captain Bicke on, add ing r as he paint

in feeding their starving families with bread,
forcibly - taken from those who were endeav

• We come now, at last; to speak of -a-sub,
jest too immediate, tot, vital, topermit of - our
passing it unnoticed,-yet too full of horror to.
dw ell upon. 'We allude to our-treatment and.
condition since our - confinement here, any de
scription of which _must come far. short of the .
terrible reality. A few of our guard will
ever be remembered by us with of
the deepest gratitude Air' their - kindness,. but
the greatest portion of them ~are drunken,
'brawling demons, too vile and wicked for par.
trayal. Tithes without number have they.
threatened-to eithershtiot or Stab us, and not
unfrequently ,they attempted- to carry
out their base- and hellish threats.' Several?
_
nights have the .guard amused thethselves,
throughout tbeirdiffercnt watches, by cursing
s; throwing stones at the, hou.sc, breaking in
grass, sash; i&c.- Two large ‘cannon stand
planted but a few yards from our prison, and
two nights ha: the mulch been swung several
hours in the, hands of the gunners, wii.b orders
to discharge both,' heavily loadd' \ with shot
and slugs upon us, in ! ft,,se our friends should
come in sufficient force .to avenge our wrongs.
These, however, are only slight, compered -
with other insults and sufferings heaped up;
on us daily.. Most of us are poorly,clad,few
have any bedding.. Our prison is open and
airy. yetsinall, and, without;serrounded with
unearthly filth ; within, all is crawling-with
vermin—all; every t hing—mixed with mtiery.
When youths we listened with doubt to the
dark stories of the Jersey prison ships„ and
the black hole of Calcutta; never dreaming
that me should-at last be a sad, actual part of
