THB MYSTEJSIO OS OEOAJVIST.
A LEGEND OF THE RHINO,
hearts are more, than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood.”
i.. Years ago, at a grand.oldcathedral overlook
ing the Shine, there appeared a mysterious or
ganist. The. great composer who had played
the organ'so long had suddenly died, and every
body. from the king to the peasant was won
dering who could be found to fill his place when
one bright Sabbnth morn, os the sexton entered
the church, he saw a stranger sitting at the
crape shrouded organ. He was a tall, graceful
man, -with a pale, but. strikingly, handsome,
lace, great black, melancholy eyes, and hair
like, the raven's tfing for gloss and color sweep
ing in dark waves over his shoulders. He did
not seem to notice the sexton, hut went on
phtying. and such music as be drew, from the
instrument no words of mine can describe.
The astonished listoer declared that the organ
seemed to, have grown human —that it wailed
and,sighed,},and claippred as if a tortured hu
man heart were throbbing through its pipes.
When the music ceased the sexton hastened to
the stranger and.said:
/‘Pray, who are.yon, sir?’’
"Do not ask my name," he replied; I have
beard that you arc in want of an organist, and
I have come here on trial.”
“You’ll bp, sure to get the place,” exclaimed
the sexton. “Why you surpass him thats dead
and gone, pir 1”
‘No, no*, you overrate me,’ resumed the stran
ger, with V«a4 smile; and as if disinclined to
conversation, he turned from old Hans and be
gan to plsy again. And now the music changed
from a sorrowful strain to a grand old paen,
and the mysterious organist, .
: "Looking upward full of grace.
- Prayed till from a happy place,
God’s glory smote him in the face,”
and his countenance seemed not unlike that of
Saint Michael, as portrayedJay-HuTdo.
Lost in the harmonies which swelled around
him, he sat w gaze fixed jSn
the distort of which he caught
'throughhrtopieh theta stir
about liTe church, door, ana a royal party came
sweeping 'iff?,/Among 'them might be seen a
young girl, with golden hair, eyesof ■S riolet
hue, and lips like eT/erries, was the
Princess Elizabeth, and dftfSyes turned to her,
ns she seated herself in the velvet cushioned
pew appropriated to the court. The mysteri
ous organist fixed his gaze upon her and went
on playing. No sooner had the music reached
her ears, than she started as if a ghost had
crossed her path. The bloom faded from her
cheek, her lips quivered, and her whole frame
grew tremulous. At lost her eyes met those of
the organist, in along) yearning look, and then
the melody lost its joyous notes, and once more
wailed, and Sighed, and clamored. '
By my faith,” whispered the king to his
daughter, "this organist has a master hand 1”
Hark ye, child, be shall play'at your wedding!”
The pale lips of the Princess parted, but she
'could not speak—she was dumb with grief.
'Like one in a painful dream she saw the pale
man at the organ, and heard the melody which
filled the vast edifice.—Aye, full well she knew
who he was, and why the instrument seemed
breathing out the agony of a tortured heart.
When the service was over and the roval
party had left the cathedral, be stole away* as
mysteriously as ho came. He. was not seen
again by the sexton till the vesper hour, and
then he appeared in ;the organ-loft and com
menced his task. While he played, a veiled
figure glided in and knelt near a side shrine.
She remained there till the worshippers dis
persed, when the sexton touched her on the
shoulder and said—
“Madam, everybody has'gone but you and
me, and I wish to close the doors.”
“I am not ready to go yet,’ r was the reply;
“leave 'me—leave me 1”
The sexton drew b,aek into a shady niche,
and, watched and listened. The mysterious or
ganist still kept his post, but his bead was
bowed upon'the instrument, and be could not
see the lone devotee, At; length she rose from
the aisle, and moving to the organ loft, paused
beside the musician. *
“Bertram,” she murmured.
Quick as thought the organist raised bis head.
There with the light of n.iamp suspended to the
arch above falling down upon her, stood the
Princess who had graced the rojal pew that
V ‘ ryi~

'lf M
She waved him from her, as if she would
banish him while she had power to do so, and
he—how was it with him?- lie rose to leave
her,j then came back,, held her to his heart in a
long embrace, and ,'wilh a half smothered fare
■ well I left. her. | ■ !
The next morning dawned in cloudless splen
dor, and'at an early hour thotcathedral was
thrown open, and the sexton began to prepare
for the brilliant wedding. Flame-colored .flow
ers nbddeddry the way-side, flume-colored leaves
came resting down from the trees and lay in
light heaps upon the ground; and the ripe
wheat waved like a golden sea, and berries
drooped in red and purple clusters over the
rocks along the Rhine. ■
At length the palace gates were opened, and
the royal party appeared escorting the Princess
Elizabeth to the cathedral whore her marriage
was to be solemnized; B was a brave pageant ;
far brighter than theentwined foliage and blos
soms were the {tufts of plumes which floated
from stately heads, and .the festival robes that
streamed down over the heusings of the superb
steeds; But the Princess, mounted on a snow
while palfrey* apd clad in velvet; looked pale
and sad ; and wjben, on nearing the-church,
she beard a gush of organ manic, which, though
jubilant in sound, struck' on her ear like a fa*
npwl knell, she trembled, and would have fallen,
to. the earth had pet a page, supported her. A
few moments, afterwards she entered cathedral.
There,|with his retinue, itood theiroyal bride
groom,! whom she had never bcforel seen. But
her glance roved | from him to the organ-loft,
, where.sha had expected to see the mysterious
organist. He was gone, and she pas, obliged
to return the graceful how of the King, to whom
she had been betrothed from motives of policy.
Mechanically she! knelt at his side on the altar
stone—mechanically listened to the] service and
made the responses. Then her husband drew
her to him ia a convulalvo enihrnce, and whis
pered— ’ [ , {' -
“ Elizabeth, mjr Queen, my wife,(look up I”
Trembling' in every limb she obeyed. Why
-did those dark eyes tbrili her so ? ' Why did
that smile bring a! glow to ber cbeek ? Ah!
though the King j wore, the royal purple, and
roapy,a jewelled order glittered on [bis breast,
he seemed, the same humble person who had
been employed to teach organ music, and bad
tanght her the lore of love. t
“Elizabeth/' murmured the monarch. “Ber
tram Hoffman, tye/Wysterious organist and
King Osoar aro.'one! Forgive my stratagem.
I wished toinarry you, but I would not drag

From the 45th Pennsylvania Hegiment.
Newport News; -Virgina, July 23, 1862.
. Friend Agitator. —When last I wrote you,
we were in the far South expecting daily to be
led in battle array 1 against the chivalry of the
Palmetto State. Now we are quietly .recruiting
our droopipg.energies 6n the banks) of James
Kiver, breathing the comparatively cool atmos
phere of Virginia. i
On the evening of the first of July, while on
James Island, we were surprised byj an order
for our regiment to be prepared to j leave the
Island at a moment’s warning. ' By 0 o’clock,
a. m. next ddy, the 45th (with the exception of
company I, who were left back on picket, )-’with
all its baggage was on board the “Ben Defurd,”
for Port Royal. Alter an' unusual) pleasant
voyage, we landed at Hilton Jlead, about four
o'clock p. m., After marching about ibree
fourths of a mile, we found our camp near tbs
General Hospital, i j,
The fourth 1 passed off with unusualjquietude.
At 12 a. m., a few shots were fired by the gun
boats, which was about all that was done to dis
turb the painful monotony of camp life, and
remind us of that independence achieved by
our fathers, anil for the maintenance' and per
petuation of which our country’s treasures and
best blood is now being sacrificed.
By the 4thjof July, James’ Island was total
ly evacuated by oarjtroopg. and left under the
care of the gpn boats. If they do not drive
the enemy frqro his batteries, they will at least
hold him in check, and defend what we have
already gained.' ' j _ i
On the 9th, onr regiment and several others
passed in review before Brig. Hen. Williams.
We had to march about two miles to the re
viewing ground, and although the heat of the
day-had nearly passed,, yet the retiring sun
poured its 1 scorching'rays upon us with much
effect, which, with the .thick, cloud of dust that
arose from tho saiul through'which we traveled,
momentarily threatening to* suffocate us. The
command,' “halt," bad hardly been given by our
day. The court-dress of velvet, with its soft
ermine trimmings, thetifitn.tho necklace, the
bracelets; had been excharfjgWTof a gfejjrserged
robe nnd a long thick, veil, which was now
pushed back from the. fair girlish face., . ,
"Oh I 'Elizabeth, Elizabeth I" exclaimed the
the organist, andhe sank at her feet, and gazed
wistfully into her troubled eyes.
“Why are you ’ here, Bertram V’ asked the
Princess. ; )
‘T carne to hid you farewell, ond as I dared
not venture into ..the palace I gained access to
the cathedral by' bribing the .bell-ringer, and
baying taken the seat of the dead organist, let
my ‘ music breathe oat the adieu 1 could not
trust my lips to utter."
A low moan was the only answer, and he
continued—
“ You are to be married on the morrow?”
“Yeej” sobbed the girl. “Oh, Bertram what
a trial if will be to- stand at yonder altar and
take upon me the vows which will doom me to
a living death?”.
“Think of me,” rejoined the organist.—
“Your rdyalTnther has requested me to play at
your wedding, and I have promised to be here.
If ; I, were, your equal, -I could be the" bride-,
groom instead of the organist; but a poor ma-'
sician must give you up.”. ' ]
“It is like rending the soui nnd body asun
der, to pa«‘ with yotr,” said- the girl. “To
night I may toll you this—tcllWou how fond
ly I love yon,-but in a few hours it will bo a
sin! . Go, go, and God bless yog I”

The "hard labor’ bn James’ Island, and the
debilitating effects of the climate, had rendered
us unfit for duty.
On the lltb, we struck our tents and marched
about five miles to Elliott's Plantation. Wo
pitched onr tents in a grove of pine trees; on
-on the southern hank of (Broad River. There
we had nothing to do but guard our camp, po
lice otfrqnarters, and attend dress parade once
a.day, and roll call six; times a day. There we
expected'to- pass' the summer in unbroken
peace, 1 (But alas 1' the soldier is but a machine
moving at the will of fals‘-superiors. Ori arri
ving at our new Camp rie were delighted to
meet tfaefour companies of onr regiment from
which we hadbeen separated since we left For
tress Monroe, last August] On the 13th, Col.
Welsh resumed command' of his regiment, he
having been relieved of his Brigadier General
ship. ..Lieut. CoL Beaver, and Major Kil
bourne, were also present, which made ns once
more a united regiment, numbering upwards of
900 men. j
Varionsconflioting rumors were daily in oof
camp about McClellan’s defeat at Richmond;
and of having sent for reinforcements from the
department of the South,.Which was soon ooh- ,
finned, as all the troops that could be spared
at Hilton; Head, were shipped fori Virginia.—
On the 17th inat.; tha 45 th was ordered to strike
tents, and load its baggage on the “May Flow*
. er." The work was not commenced Until iftsr
noon, and it was nine in the evening before H
was finished, when our regiment -took up its
line of march towards tfie wharf Hilton
Head.' As the firm, steady tramp of our men,
as we marched in beautiful order on the.sandy
,beach with the steep land on,onr right, and
the shihingtwiiters of Brbajd River on onr left,
i combined with the sweet Strains of music ■to
[■which we were,marching, broke upon the still
night air, we were reminded that we were sol
diers, taking, in all probability, our- farewell
march in South Carolina; £rang from one scena
of action to another, more exciting and danger
ous than the one we wore leaving. It was late
in the evening when we reached the dock, and
we laid ourselves oh the soft sides of the planks
that formed the pier, and slept as soundly as
we would in- a feather-bed at home. Next
morning we took our farewell walk through the '
village. It is a strongly fortified place, and it
would take a strong military force to storm
Fort Wells whiph defends the inland side. ■'
Abou half past II o’cloolt, a. m., Jane 18th;
onr whole regiment got on board the Hi S. Mail
Steamer, Arago ; at, half .past twelve, the sharp
notes of thewhiatle pierced ■ Hie air, and we ■
were sailing towards Fortress Monroe, and
South Carolina soon became lost to on view.—-
We did not see land; again until-the afternoon '
of the 20fch, when Cape Hehry appeared in the
distance. We passed it abbot dusk After .a
steady calm, and an uninterupted voyage of
fifty-six hours, we anchored; off Fortress Mon
roe, about 9 p. m., July 20th, where* w’e lay du
ring the night and part of next day.. From the
wheel-house of the Arago, bn the morning of
the 21st, the scene around ols was bold and en
chanting. Old Fort Monrob, on out right, with
upwards of fifty port-holes frowninggrimly up-,
on the waters. The Eip'Raps on our left, and
ihepowerfpl fleet anchored jn the harbor, soon
convinced, nf it would ‘prizgle a strong naval
force to redjttpe Old Pplnt Cpßjfqrt. At
o’clock, vfe dww anchor, an£ sailed.; for. New
Port News., In mrder tolandj. it was'necessary
for ns to be transferred front the, Arajp to the
Catskill, a small transport draught, and
after a considerable delay'we landed at New
Pott JTewa at ’4 o'clock pi. mj.' 'Before landing,
we bad the pleasure of 'seeing the wrecks of
the victims of the Merrimajc, in the late en
gagement in Hampton Roads.
New Pott News is a smaUj insignificant vill
age. No prominent building,could be seen to
“set off” the rest. We merely marched through
the town, and consequently cannot well describe
it as it was. We were glad to get out of sight
of it. , After marching about two miles, wo en
camped on the eastern hanki of James’ River.
After we had laid down for Hie night, the weeds
around us were so high, and having no tents, a
traveller could not discovered us at 50
yards .distance. ! * j
What onr future movements may be, I will
not venture.to prophecy. Weare well satisfied
with our present situation. Though the weath
er may be considerably warmer here than in .
Old Pennsylvania, yet it is free from that dry
suffocating and sultry, heat with which the at
mosphere of the far South is so heavily ladened
in the hot .months of summer. Besides that,
wo have excellent water, which could not bo
found in South Carolina. It flows in a copious
stream from the river’s hank, and is just cool
enough to be' relishable and healthy. Our
camp is about 60 or 70 feet above the water
level, and from the bank, James River, thickly
dotted wUH our transports' and gun boats,
spreads out ip pH of Its grandeur before our
view. The River at this pointj is abbot three
miles wide. The country in this vicinity, is al
most wholly uncultivated and overgrown with
weeds, of which there is a splendid mop.
One health is fast recruiting, and wo will
soon be able to take the field, when wo will, in
all probability go to tha aid of Glen. McClellan.
Wherever wo may be called, 'the 45th ia ready
and willing to do its part in the great struggle
which is still before us., Let come what will,
our cause will eventually triumph. The mo
mentary cheek at Richmond will soon be re
retrieved, and McClellan will undoubtedly, ere
many days, be in triumphant possession of tim
rebel Capital. Such is the hope and belief of
