“Look at roe !"
The speaker threw up bis brawny arms, in
the broad sunlight'of thedajvand a grim smile
passed over his features. He stood amid a few
scores of (be United States soldiers, oh the
north bank of the Potomac, where he had just
landed, after swimming a river atths close of
a running fight, with a dozen of niorp Virginia
dragoons. One of his eyes had been closed by
a heavy blow across hfis forehead wiih-the butt
of a pistol, and his massive ’chest' was bleeding'
where a bullet had ploughed along the skin,
glancing from his ribs, - , .
“Yes," he repeated ; to the brave men who bad
been wateßfng bis escape, “look at me I" Do
I appear to'-you rt traitor, a coward ora vidian?
AU these names have been bestowed upon me
because I wnuld not enlist among traitors.—
Look there!"
lie pointed to the shores of a little creek ex
tending from the Potomac a tnile or two in; the
“saered serif,’' to a range of-low huildlngs.from
1 which a dull smoke was issuing.
“There wee .my home,” he continued, heat
ing his breast "iti awild burst of grief. “There
my w ife was stretched dead bn the three! o'd
by a bullet intended for me; there ray only boy
has been shot by the minions of_J>etoher. For
more than a hundred years my ancestors and
family hsv* dwelt in peace upon that spot, end
there does not lire the man, end never has,he<n
seen the roan, who can say that £he Boyds bare
.wronged or defrauded him in any way or man
ner. And now see what these devils have
done f”
Thn strong man’s head sank forward upon
his breast, and he sobbed aloud with a grief
terrible to witness..
‘•Do not mourn bo, Mr. Boyd,” said Captain.
Hart, in &• kindly tone, while ninny nn eye
moisteried among the observers and listeners
“Yon have escaped with your life—you are fa
miliar with the country in your vicinity—know
who your oppressors are, and can command a
sufficient.number of brave men hers to take
ample vengeance. •
The fugitive grasped the Captain’s band cho
king down his sobs,
‘•Yes,, vengeance is the word!” ho exclaimed,
•hoskiiy—*’l #iU live fur.revehge." .
lie remained motionless, watching the move
ments of the Virginia troops across the river
as they retreated in the direction of the fogitive
patriot's burning homestead. With the aid of
a field te’eseope, handed him by Captain Hart,
he watched them till they had disappeared be
hind some trees shading the road which wound
along the shores of the creek.
“Do yon wish to' return -instantly," asked
Captain Hurt, "at the head of soma of our
brave fellows ?”
“Not now, thank yon. I would-not care for
a plan of vengeance which should sacrifice any
of yOur men. I must have time to think.”
“And to have your wound attended to,” re
joined the Captain. “You narrowly escaped
the wretches. I was never more agonized 1 in
my life "than in watching yonr running fight,
und yourswim, amid their' bullets, and would
have given ten years of my life for a good field
piece. Unhappily, all of our troops on the
Potomac have been short of batteries, and that
is why I could not cover your flight any bet
ter.” :
Thug saying, Captain Hart conducted the fu
gitive to his tent, and called in the surgeon to
attend to his injuries, and providerefreahments.
Mr Boyd was now able to master his emotion,
but no one but the 'Judge of all hearts knew
what bitter sorrow raged in his breast. To lose
his beloved wife and only son at one blow,.was
indeed a terrible bereavement.
During all the remainder of the day the fu
gitive remained in the Captain’s tent, waiting
fur the night to come to lend her mantle to aid
the plan of vengeance he had formed. When
nil was still in the Union camp, save the watch
ful platoon.of picked men, with
Captain Hart and Mr. B«yd at their bend, si
lently descended to the bank, and- crossed the
river in a-boat which was in waiting, not a
sound louder than the ripling of the current
being heard until a landing was effected on the
Virginia short. Here a brief halt wnsothted.
‘•Jv’g lucky that ths moon is obscured ut'this
moment,” whispered Mr. Boyd. “I do-not be
lieve our movements have been teen, although
a sentry or two are probably oh the watch here
about. There is a little dell up here, a hun
dred’rode or so distant, where' yoo can remain
ooeitiledin safety, While I reconnoitre a little,
seeking where they are encamped or quar
tered."
Be led the way to’ the spot mentioned, the
entire bd3y.moved as noiselessly ns possible—
and then Mr. Boyd arranged a signal with
Captain Hart,- and set out on bis scout. He;
Was gone -longer than he especied—nearly two,

“They are quartered at the Widuw’Crosby’s

• ’The, particulars of the.assault was arranged,

should demand assistance,- he havingeipressed
tbc opiniun that he could cut them, off one by

" “1 do not want-them 'to whke'tbis side of

vilUge, of which be bad eo Idng been one of

.except an. Occasional Wbiaperedcummumoation

men respecting the route. The darkness of the
was 'favorable to the! expedient, ‘Thus

“Are we mustibere? ’ finally asked Captain
a whisper.- .
“Within twenty rods -remain where you sffb
for armoinent, until I give the ,signal;"
~ And pt the same instpnt the rattle of a mat
ket wiw heard, and.a rharp voice shouted:
*-WVi‘o goes tliere •
“Tho sentry,” muttered Captain Hurt'.'
TheTugitive patriot'bounded away like-an'
arriiw in the,direction of the challenge/ drnw
'Pg aihepvy-kiiife frum his bosom. A mothent
of .anxious suspense followed; pope q single
groan wile heard, and then all was still.
Mf; Bay'd soon came back'.
“A soldier coming to relieve the other sentf
-6eLi l‘« fixed fiirii."
- - “And (be other one.”
“1 fixed him when 1 was reoonnoi taring ah
hour ago. Wait still another moment, until
you bear my signals." And again he was
£on*-
; Captain Hartabd'his men remained perfectly
motionless a‘few moments, listening-fur any
euond that torght.indicate the movement of the
avehger. A light wag soon seen Bickering in
the direction whore the house occupied by the
troopers was supposed to ■be situated, and the
next instant a huge flame shot suddenly Into
the sky, while the signal of Mr. Boyd was
heard.- . . j -
“Take them, lioys, on the wing as they come
out Of "the house*,” commanded. Captain flnrt,
as the building tjfaa brought in .bold relief to
their view by flames from the hug? pile of
'brushwood gathered in the neighboring swamp
for euommer fuej, and which the avenger had
set on fire. “Thjoife, now is your time! Fire I”
A half ft dozen troopers fell dead at the dis
charge followingjthe command, iis they rushed
out from the piazza in the full glarge of the
flames, Mr. Bnyd re-appenred from the house,
falling upon the two survivors,' and stretching
them both dead on the ground with a few rapid
blows. i '
“The wdrk is accomplished,” he exclaimed;
as the soldiers. adVupcea towards him. “The
last of them is here—the very fellow,'" he adr
ded, glancing at the dead man, who shot thy
wife. We ore terribly avenged.”
A window in the cottage was raised at this
juncture, arid'ati elderly lady, the Widow Cros
by looked forth upon the scene;
• “.You have shocked me sufficiently, you'wick
ed men*,” she-said In a mild tone of satisfaction,
“und I trust‘ho jdisagreeable "sight will-meet
ray eyes in'the htohning.” ■ ,
Captain Hart and Mr. Boyd understood her,
and at once proceeded to remove the Bodies of
the troopers to the shore of the erect, where
they were immediately buried. All traces of
bloodshed were removed from the premises, ns
far as possible, hnid, the widow was left to re
pose.
“I have now squared accounts with them,”
observed Mr, Boy|i, “and will commence a reg
ular service fur the War, Captain, in your ranks
to-morrow. The remainder of the night I will
pass at the ruins of my late home, looking af
ter my dead.”
He shook the hand of the Captain, and re
tired, amid the murmurs of from
the men, soon being lost to .their view as-.they
retreated to the spot where they had crossed
the river, Ud wna .not long in reaching the
still smouldering liiins of his house and out
buildings, where lie instituted a search for the
remains of his wife and sun, but in vain, lie
wits quite in despair, and was ’ mourning them
as only a father can mourn his loved ones, when
a form was seen approaching cautiously through
the gloom. “TVhJi is there?” the unknown
soun.detnanded. . j
■‘William-Boyd.”
Tbo man uttered a cry of surprise and de
light, and drew near, making himself known.
Jle was an old .frifnd and neighbor, and had
taken care of .Mr. Boyd’s dead, bearing their
bodies to his o.wn Souse, where they then were..
The avenger lisierifd to these announcements,
and soon became cjtlm.
> ‘rl can never be a man again," he said, ;‘bnt
it is some satiefuciion to know that they are
avenged,” And he; recounted; ibe tragedy -of
the night to bis listener's great joy.
“Come,” guid tb^-.neighhor, at last, “we had
better bury to-night, for you must be
gway from here.be|hre daylight."
Hr. Boyd accompanied the kind-hearted and
sympathizing neighbor to his house. We heed
not dwell upon the'lonely burial that followed.
The mother and sop, each the pride of the oth
er, and of lie bereaved father and husband, i
were, buried in one igrave, rudely made by those
two Stern-faced men, beneath the dim light of
the waning moon. ■ At last the sad offices were
finished, and thetato men turned away.
“I have now nothing to do hut to devote my
life to the service. county,” said Bpyd.**-
“Hencef'tth I shuH do what I can to prevent
tbe dccead ints of more fortunate families than
mino from suffering these miseries.”
“And ! will .Jain jyou” said tus coropaniori,
quickly. “There 1* t»o safety here. I will re-
more my family to Pennsylvania, forthwith,
and we will fight together 1”
The next’day these resolves were carried bnt,
the Virginia patriot joining Mr. Boyd at Cap
tain Haft’s camp; and the brave men are now
rendering important services in the column of
General McClellan. I
Two Celebrated Ides.
The last summary of foreign news contains
the brief announcement of the death of Prince
Windisohgrffitz—or the j Prince Alfred Von
WindiscK Gr®ti—the celebrated Austrian Gen
era), and Count Charles Robert fie Nesselrode,
the great Russian statesman. Neither of them
can be mourned iothia country, but each has
been a prominent actor id the, field of'Europe
an hwtijry.
Winqipchgrtstz was a descendant, on the
materniil side, of "Wallenstein, and was born at
Brussels; May 11th,1787, so that he was sev
erity five years of age. He was a soldier ail
-his life, and nothing-else, fur be has never been
.a. statesman, tior has he shown anything like
statesmanlike qualities. He was. proud of bis
Tin.cagp, an aristocrat, in every fibre, a rigid
disciplinarian, and a hearty detester Of every
thing that acknowledged anything like popular
rights. . He entered :tbe army in 1804,-distin
guished hiniself at the battle of LeipeigrNoy
.es, and. JPere-ohampennise, In 1826 he was
made a Major General ana in 1833 General of
Division.' He is well remembered for the part
he ; took t iri the events of 1848-9, When the
Austeqin Empire iftjmoat. gave wajt before the
rising of; the people in all [the provinces. Jel
laclich; Jhad failed to suppress the Hungarian
insurrection ; so Wjndisehgrtet* took the chief
command of' the army j fmniCarded Prague,
and Vienrinr and estftblishcd a reign' hf terror
''wherever' he could place rtti 1 army. Then he
•nifroh'ed in the beginning of 1849. from Vienna
to Pesth,!^-,,defeated, the Hungarians; at Mohr,
ftpd, expected to repress • re volution every
where. if Rut the Hungarians rallied and he was,
compelled to retire. lie'lost caste with the
Guvertudent and was superceded in his com
mand. Hor has he sines been in any impor
tant position, though he has retained the rank
of Field Marshal, conferred on brut in 1848,
and con)mander-in-cliief of nil the Austrian
troops outside uf Italy, He will be 'remem
bered for his cruelties, his bombardments uf
cities and towns, his murder uf Robert Blum,
and many other atrocities. He has died jdat
ut the moment when reforms of a most liberal
kind are: being established in Austria,' his
death being coincident with that of the abso
lutism of which he has always been the most
striking type. Windiseb-Grtßiz was married
in 1817 to the Princeai Eleonora, of Schwartz

born in 1819. '
Count Ne-selrods was born December 14th,
1780; at Lisbon, where his father was the Rus
sian nuibnssadur.-T—llis family was of noble
Saxon origin. He began life os a soldier, hut
abandoned the. career of arms for that of di
plomacy in 1802. In JSO7, he was made am
bassador to Paris, where he rendered his Gov
ernment Signal service by revealling the secret
preparations for war . made by the Etdperor
Napoleon. Going home he was attached to the
Chancellorship of States -and -the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.—Through the two r-igns of
Alexander I. and Nicholas be conducted the
foreign nffairsiif Russia with eminent'ability,
and there is hot nn important event in the his
tory of his country, during that period, with
which his name is not associated. From 1813
to.lSSS.hei was Chancellor of Slate and Minis
ter of-Foreign Affairs. On the-accession of
Alcxahderj 11., he resigned the latter portfolio,
and .has retained only the office of-Chancellor
of State. »lllis German origin, made him sym
pathize with the German parly in Russia a

of Old Russia, of which Prince’ Mentschikuff is
a permanent Wader. Nesselrode has favored
reforms, did what ho could tonvoid the war of
1354—5, and was hiffuential in bringing about
the Congress of Paris by which peace was es
tablished. ; Ills great age—over eighty-two—
has prevented him from taking an active part
in public affairs recently ; but he'will always
be remembered as one of the ablest statesmen
of Europe, and one of the most valuable offi

ms review or bis was adhujisteatios.
A number of, .the’friends of er-Secretary
Cameron invited hira to accept s public!dinner
at Harrisburg, on Saturday evening, prior tj> ■
bis departure for Russia. May6r
sided at the banquet. Mr. Cameron improve® 1
the occasion by entering into an! elaborate vin
dication 'of his course as Secretary of War,
He declared that be took Lis seat in Mr. Lin
coln's Cabinet against bi« own judgment,-with
out consulting bis taste for the position, and, ip
fact, against bis. owndeterminution, and that
.he resigned bis post when be thought bis ’ mia
eion was ended, in organizing, Equipping'and
supplying, under the most adverse circumstanr
ces, a larger army than bad ever been raised at
any period of human history He added:
“ When I did accept the place it was with
the perfect understanding between Mr. Lincolp
end myself tbat’whenevcr I thought proper to
resign I should be privileged to do so; and
when a vacancy occurred in the appointment
to Russia, he offered me' the. post, and I .was
glad to accept it. Why, gentlemen, I toiled, in
that department as no man ever toiled before';
I have told you that in my younger years I
worked fur twenty hours ogtof twenty-four for
successive (booths; but that labor was nothing
in comparison with the overpowering toil which
I underwent at Washington. To say nothing
of the extraordinary necessities o{T the depart
ment, arising from an unforseen nnd threaten
ing national emergency, the doors of my pri
vate dwelling, were besieged, from daylight to
tlie latest hourtof the night. The department
was surrounded on all hands and | aboil hour*.
Certain members of Congress, Who figured*
the vote of censure, wire- ever besieging my
doors, and often.patiently waiting for honra-ty
catch a part of the drippings from the War De
partment ..
- “ Meanwhile! managed the delicate and try*
trig affairs of my eitootiob-#« wisely as -I Jcn'ei*
buw. Of course I cormnitted some errors, but
I did not commit the wrong with which lam
charged in the regulation of Congress. I sol*
emnly.assert that neither in motijre nor deed
can I be justly chargeable with the commission
of any .wrong iq thsbadministration of tfaostf
affaiife, and 1 am proud to say here in renew!
ing my official'conduct, I see. .noijaot whiolrj
would not repeat under the same cvrcnmetanoest
Upon my appointment to the position, I found
the department desolate of all the means of'
defence, without guns; and with little prospect
of purchasing the material of ' I found
the natiop without an army, and I found
scarcely a man throughout the whole War De
partment in whom I could put' my' trust. '
Adjutant General deserted. The Quartermas
ter General ran off. -The Commissary General
was upon bis de.ith-bed. More than half the
clerks were disloyal. I remember that upon
one occasion General Scott came to me op par
rently iVgreat mental tribulation. Said be, ‘f
have spent the most misemble day of my life; .
a friend of my boyhood has just told me I ant
disgracing myself by staying here and serving
this fragment of the government/in place of
going to Virginia and serving under the banned
of my native State; and I pin pained to death.’
But the old hero was patriotic, loyal and wits
enough to say that bis -friend was wrongs
and be was right hr remaining where he was.”
The following is Mr. Cameron’s explantion if
the cnmsiKGS Amia.
“ You all remember, gentlemen, the day = of
tbe President's proclamation, calling upon th<
people of Pennsylvania (because the demand
was made upon you liere in common with other
States) fur troupe to defend the national capital.
My son happening. t<> be inWaahington, I
soot him thither with the utmost despatch, and.
ashed him to appeal to every man be met in
this .town and through tbe country, to send
down every soldier who would comet Within
three days after the issuing of the proclama
tion, four hundred and eighty troops from
Pennsylvania arrived .in Washington. They
were the first to inspire the Government with
hope and courage to contend with the awful
crisis then impending. They came thtrs with*
'out arms arid were furnished from the arsenal
at that place. Directly after this—within two
or three days—three or four regiments were
assembled at Cuckeysrille, Maryland, by - ray
order. At tbe same time a number of bridges
on the Philadelphia and Baltimore, Railroad)
via Wilmington, were burned or destroyed. It
was at this time that tbe mob in Baltimore
murdered our unarmed soldiers in her streets
on their way to-the defence of the capital, and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad refused to
carry our troops. At.that time, when the loy
alty of nearly all the inhabitants was doubted,
Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, in compa
ny with the Secretary of the Treasury, called
upon me and said ‘ we must have somebody in
New York to assist the public officers there in
collecting and forwarding troops,’ asking, me
to name any individual whom I considered
competent fur that purpose. I was acquainted
with but a few people in New York, but after
a, few moment’s reflection I recollected Mr.
Cummings, with whom 1 bad an intimacy when
ho was a citiien of this State. The .two gen
tlemen then informed me that they had appoint
ed Ur. Cisco, of the Sub-Treasury- 'General
Dtx, now in the army j Mr. Opdyke, the pres
ent Mayor of tbe city of New York, and as I
ba-e stated, requested me to name -some other
gentlemen. 1 gave the name of Mr. Cummings,
and associated, with it that of Governor Mor
gan, of the State of New York." i

the country has heard so much, I have reason
