our readers will doubtless remember
a younj; man named John If. Fenwick,
sided ip this place during the year 1859, and
who via employed at different times, by 'the
editor If this paper, Mr. Sackett, druggist, and
last bi| Mr. James Stanbpry, Clerk of our
Gountj| Court, who [engaged in writing
in his Office. He,was a smart, active, intelli
gent lasd, and gave unmistakable evidence of
one whp had been, well reared. He told several
persond that he was asonlof a lord—that he
had bejn kidnapped from England and sent to
this country, and that if he tad his just rights,
he would be enjoying life and affluence in his
own ancestral halls "in Northumberland, Eng
land. fills statement, howdver, was generally
disbelieved, although everybody with whom be
was acquainted gave it as jtheir opinion that
there mas something singular connected with
the lad jand his past history. •
The feicts in the case, whi|h have been since
learnedjfrora undisputed authority are about as
fallows,
Some time in the year ,1837, Sir John N,
Fenwiclt (the father of the lad alluded to), while
engaged in a shooting expedition on the Cum
berland Hills, was thrown fram'his horse, and
was con veyed to the humble cottage of a poor
clergyman near by, with a chattered ancle.—
The clergyman was a. widower with an only
child—i. beautiful ybong daughter just bud
ding intso womanhood, who amended to the du
ties Of t^ieir .humble home and cheered the'de
clioing |years of a kind, venerable parent. She
was unremitting in her kind attentions to the
noble g|est, antLseldom left his bed-side until
he was Entirely recovered. T|o make the matter
.short. Sir John fell in love with the young Iqdy
and proposed to her. In refly, Clara (for that
was herfname), told her noble suitor jthat she
loved hiin in return, but th it she would not
leave hdr father, hut would remain with her
kind parent, and lend a solace to bis declining
years. !fhey parted, and after exchanjging the
lover’s usual token—
*• "With many a row and locked embrace
frbeir parting was full tender,
And pledging oft to meet
.they tore-themselves astinder.”
In thd Autumn of the same year—the mild
and mellow'English autumn!—fit time indeed
for the exit of eo pure a soul from its 1 earthly
casket, t|ie spirit of the venerable pastor winged
its way ta the realms of bliss bayond tho skies.
* | '* * • * * *
The marriage was simple and unostentatious
ce|efflony being performed in private by
a young'curate, in order to-escape the Ridicule,
of the jridegroom’s haughty relatives—and
Clara Seymore became the bride of Sir James ;
North Fenwick of Fenwick Hall. They made
the tour of the Continent, and in duo time re
turned to England, where she presented her
busbandiwith a boy, the subject of our present
sketch. Sir John’s friends,! instead of con
tumely and reproach, pretendjed greatly to ad
mire Lady Fenwick, and congratulated him on;
'bis'choice.'- Two of his sisters took their resi
dence inj Fenwick- Hall, and while pretending
an! unbopnded affection for J the victim, were
daily and hourly engaged by a malicious talent
in poisoning Lord Fenwick’s mind against bis
w tfe. Ifoor Clara, all this lime,' nnawaTo of
the cruel, unrelenting course pursued toward
her— Fenwick becoming more and more
morose aiid cold to her every Hay, and she, tfnn l
walfe of \ thh trne cause, attributed it to the,
seeming fact that he regretted having united
hi' elf ~’th ie tie hhinble rfs she. In the

forth, although suffering from delirium, and
were conveyed by the servants to the nearest
inn. These villainous women bad at lenght
accomplished their vile purpose, which was to
keep the magnificent, property within their
grasp; for they could not brook the idea that
one whom they regarded as the offspring of an
humbly born | young female, for whom their
brother bstd conceived an affection, should ever
succeed to their proud title and the broad lands
of their father] Thus it will be seen that vil
lainy and- treachery triumphed for the time
being. |
Ppor Clara lay at the village inn raving from
the effecteof brain fever, where she was daily
visited by Captain O’Neil—a gallant, warm
hearted Irish gentleman—of Enniskillin Dra
goons, who was at '"the time quartered in thp
vicinity. - He {became acquainted with Lady
Clara at Fenwick Hall.'
1 - When she became suffiently recovered, he
importuned her with much eloquence to go with
inn to bis estate in Galway, Ireland. After
many importunities, she at length yielded, for
her husband’s cold and harsh treatment had ut
terly obliterated all love she ever felt for him.
Luckily, she had possession, beside her jewels,
of two thousand pounds. Accompanied by
Copt. O’Neil, she proceeded to, Liverpool, where
she placed herj son on the" steamer Adriatic,
which was about to sail for New-York, giving
bim directions to seek a cousin of tier’s, named
Summerville, a wealthy planter in the interior
of Texas. She gave him one thousand pounds,
.and bidding him an affectionate and tearful
farewell, they parted—forever.
She accompanied the captain to his estate on
the const of Galway, where they were privately
married. Her health failing, her husband took
her to the south of France, in order to recu
perate her shattered nerves. Capt. O’Neil
dearly loved the yet beautiful Clara.

C. W. D.
After a short and pleasant voyage, our young
hero arrived in the Empire City, where he im
mediately took passage in a steamer bound for
Galveston, Texas. On bis arriving there be
purchased a beautiful Indiab pony, and by ad
hering to the directions given him by a mer-.
chant of that place, who was acquainted with
his relatives, he reached his cousin’s rancbe on
the ninth day of his journey. On discovering
who he was, and learning his strange and event
ful history, his cousin received him with un
bounded affection and kindness. His relative
•was the owner of two thousand acres of land
and fifty negroes, and numerous herds of cat
tle; he was married to an amiable and intelli
gent American lady, and his household was
gladdened by the presence of his beautiful
daughter Estelle.
He spent his time most happily and agreea
bly at the ranche for about six months, devp
ting his time to hunting, fishing, and rambling |
over the' flower-bespangled prairies with bisi
charming relative, Estelle, with whom, it is al
most unnecessary to say, our hero, fell des-.
perately in love. ,
He was suddenly awakened from bis dreams
of happiness and pleasure one pight by the
starting and unwelcome intelligence that the
Comanches and a large party of Mexican guer
rillas were bearing down to attack the rnnebe.
All hands were immediately mustered to repel
the bloodthirsty marauders; the defenders
numbered'seven white men (including our hero
and bis cousin) and twenty negroes. The at
tacking party numbered over six hundred guer
rillas and Indians. The attack was commenced
almost immediately—the assailants discharged
showers of arrows and escopet balls at the de
fenders, who were'stationed in the building,
which, however, did little or no execution—the
defenders replying with their death-dealing ri
-fles, causing many a tawny savage and Mexi
can ruffian to bite the dust. But why prolong
this fearful scene ? Suffice it to say the,ranche
was carried by storm, after a desperate resist
ance, and every person (male and female) wa)s
butchered except our hero, who yas taken pris
oner and conveyed to Mexico by the Indians,
after plundering and burning the ranch?. Our
hero shed many a bittpr jtear oyer the fate of
his darling Estelle, and kind and generous rela
tives. He remained a prisoner about three
months, and strange to say, although closely
watched, was not subjected to any cruel treat
ment.
One day the tribe whose captive he was,
started out on, a marauding expedition, leaving
him in charge of an Indian. He was the very
savage vffib had tomahawked his beautiful
Estelle 1 The Indian jnduljged in liquor, freely,
soon fell asleep. It was but the work of a mo
ment for nur hero to unsboath the scalping*
knife from the belt of the sleeping savage, and
plant it in hie heart. Estelle was avenged 1
Seizing the Indian’s rifle and ammunition, he
started off-ijq a northerly direction, and in three
days reached the Bio Grande, where he found
a canoe and crossed, and very soon reached
Brownsville, Texas. " -r
Here he met three Texan trovers, who were
about to start with an immense drove of cattle
tq Carlinville, Macoupin Coiinty, }n this State.
Being short of hands, they •tdfered to hire him
to go' with them and help them drive. Ren
dered destitute by being deprived of everything
by the marauders, he gladly accepted their
offer and went.
Arriving .at Carlingville, he determined to
return to England, and boldly proclaim hie
rights. .Accordingly he took the cars .for the
East. While traveling on the New-York and
Erie Eailqoad, be fell ip with a noble-hearted
former, naned Dreston F. Sappington, of fVmt
Isabel, of jthis county, who induced him to go
to Clinton for the purpose of studying law with
Mr. L. Weldon. Our hero, however, disliked
the profession, and, as .we have*above stated,
was employed in- this office by Mr. Sackett, and
lately by-Mr." Stanbury.. While here, during
October term of the Circuit Court, he stated
bis case to the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, who
immediately wrote' to the British Consul at
Chicago. ( . ; .
Two days afterward, the British Consul, the
: Hon. Mr. Wilkin* arrived at this place. After
listening to Fenwick’s story, and having a Icpg
consultation with Messrs. Lincoln and Stanbu
ry, he took him to Chicago and employed him in
his office. Meantime, the Consol wrote to Eng
land, making inquiries id regard to Sir John
crswere notlong
sommnnd. Lady
jncdfately driven
Fenwick, but could only hear that be was trav
eling on the 'Continent, hot could not ascertain
the precise spot. I /
The Prince of Wales; while traveling in this
cduntry, it will be recollected, stopped at Chi
cago. There the. Consul introduced our hero to
the Prince, who became! convinced of the truth
of bis statement He accompanied the Prince
in his.tour through the United States, and went
with him to England. :
On arriving there, out young hero proceeded
immediately to his ancestral hall, where he was
informed by the servants that one of his aunts,
who had caused him and bis mother so much
trouble and unhappiness, was now on her death
bed, attended by'hOr brother Sir. John Fenwick.
He entered the cbamher of death 1 The ghast
ly vision of the dying woman became stilLghast
liet when she beheld the hoy whom she and her
sister had so deeply wronged. She immediately
confessed that the talei they bad invented to
blast the reputation of ]pady Clara and ruin her
innocent son, was witjhout foundation—that
Clara was a good and tjrue wife, till he drove
her away and spurned her.' Lord Fenwiok fol
ded bis longjlust son tp bis heart, and shed
tears over him. The woman died in a few mo
ments after halting the confession. Her sister
is at present the inmate bf a convent, and strives
to atone for her black-hearted treachery, by fast
ing, penitence and prayer..

Dear Brother and Sister. —The box that
left Tioga so long ago, did not find its way to
the Camp of the 23d, last evening. The
delay was occasioned by'the kindues of the Ex
press Agent at Washington, who thinking to
have it reach us earlier than it otherwise sf onld,
forwarded it to the Government Office. We did
not think to send there to see about it until yes
terday ; but now the box is here, and 1 am hap
py to inform you tbat.the contents were as fresh
and nice as when they started from the hands
of our far distant friends. It is out of the
question for me to find language, .with which to
express our thanksfor the Cake, Cheese, Butter,
Wine, Pickels, &a., &c. I can only say to you
one and all, accept a soldier’s thanks Which are
always “few in words, but from the heart.",.
, George Stratton and myself attended to the
distribution of the packages to their several
owners. Each one was {received with smiles,
and emotions, thiit can arise only in the bosom
' of those who are far removed from friends, and
suddenly, ns if. by magic, receive same token
assuring them that they are remembered by
'the “dear ones at home.”; To know, thaitwe are
remembered by those wojhaye left behind us, is
enough to repay us/or the privations of camp
!life,.nhd the miseries that always attendastate
of War.
Copt. Dingledey’s box was very nice, and he
returns a thousand thanks. I doubt not you
will receive from him a note of acknowledge

ty the pair of long, gray stockings. Thera is
on use of talking, for be j will keep and wear
those stockings, and I doubt not feels grateful
to l)ie lady who sent them. The camp shirt
you sent me, is the shirt of the camp! . There
is only one trouble about it; that is, I will have
to wear'it out at one wearing, for-our Assistant
Surgeon, Dr. Madill, has given me due notice
that if he finds it off tpy back;, he will ‘'hawk
strike,” and appropriate it to bis own use; so
you may consider the shirt and your correspon
dent as “one and inaeper«ble,‘”'at least, for a
term of weeks.
, The patients in the Hospital wish me to re
turn their most sincere thanks to Dr. Hatha
way for the Wine. • As soon as I had drawn the
cork, I gave eaclt'patient in the wards, the priv
ilege of testing its merits, and told them where
it came from. 1 know Hot which done them
the most good, the power of the thought that it
came from the bands, of one who feels an inter
est in the wellfare of oar sick and suffering sol
diers, but I do know that as they tasted the
wine and beard from whence it came, the conn-,
tenance of each one brightened up as tbqugh
some pleasing memory of their child-hood days
had flitted across the mind.
Gen. Rutlgr has' done a good thing on the
Coast, and if report is , to.be depended upon,
death btts done a good thing'in Richmond. Jeff,
Davis is said to be dead. If he is, we will re
turn our most unfeigned thanks. If he is notj
we will pray for such a dispensation of Provi
dence to take place immediately, forasmuch as
I ,hate traitors, I had rather see them .die a nab
ural neatb, than to see them suffer tfce .conse
quences of their wicked deeds. Death is upon
the track of the leaders of this miserable South
ern Confederacy, and if they can manage to
die a natural death before a legal and just ret
ribution overtakes them, it will seem to be the
better for them. But thetf we must remember
that after death cometh the Judgement. I can
not imagine what punishment will be
out to such men ns Davis, Stevens & Co., but cer
tainly the Bible tells of qpthing terrible enough
for u them. , , ,
Why do people of the North allow their lopal
papers to continue the ory of peace, peace. "We
in the army know of no peace, except that
which must finally come by an i unconditional
surrender and laying down, of arms on the part
of the Rebels; Yes, we ask, and must have
more than this—rebellion must be given over,
to the United States Authorities, and the Rebel
Army, must every man of them, return to their
sworn allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.—
When the grand, army of the Union returns
home, there will no£ be a “seven stared and
three bared” flag left tipon southern soil
unless we choose to leave a few scattering ones
to warn future generations of. the dangers and
insubordination of rebellion.
You ask me to tell you what I think of Gen.
McClellan? With the'whole army of the Po
tomac, I think he is the man of the army. We
have full confidence, in him as a Commapder.
His courage and coolness is undoubted, fie J 8
