THE BTBAROE CAVALXEB. Let me tell your fortune, pretty ladies—very good fortune to you ma’am, cried a dark-eyed gypsy, as two ladies turned the corner of a beautifully sequestered lane, while the last rays of a gorgeous son were merging into the more voluptuous tinge of- a summer twilight. Oh, do let os have our fortunes told—l should like to know my fortune ! exclaimed the young er of the ladies, who leant upon the arm of her companion. “Nonsense, Annette,” rejoined her friend, and by,this time they had reached the spot where the sybil was standing. Her appearance fully demonstrated her tribe; her face was of The most swarthy hue, but interesting in the expression ; her eyes were jet black ; and her dark which hung disheveled over her neck and shoulders, were partly concealed by a small tiat that was tied under the .chin by a parly colored handkerchief, while her figure, of no ordinary mould, was encumbered by the faltered fragments of an old red cloak. The ladies paused for an instant to contemplate the object befoce them. “I oan tell -you,” said she, addressing the younger lady, what, mayhap, you will not like to bear. You will love, but you will not be loved again ; you will sigh, but no sigh will be returned to you ; you will weep, tears will fall on your cheek like dew on the summer flower, that dries but receives fresh moisture.” Without uttering a word, the ladies now turned, and hastily pursued their way home ward. They had wandered, attracted by the beauty of the evening, farther than they bad intended. The Baroness D , for so we must introduce .her to our readers, had -taken under her protection Annett Da M , who was an orphan, and the sole remaining branch of'a noble family. ‘The Baroness D bad herself been left an orphan at an early age.— She had afterward married the Barron D , who had been dead about two years at the time onr story commences, leaving her- without progeny, her only child having died in its in fancy. She bad inherited her husband’s vast estates, and was at this time residing in her fa vorite castle, situated in the most beautiful of the midland counties of England. The ladies silently pursued their way until they reached the extensive avenue that formed the barrier to the noble domain. Trees of reg ular but enormbus height were thickly studded oa either side, and the Baroness frequently started at the echo of their footsteps, as she pressed forward with her young companion.— ■The moon had risen and now shone in sikery brightness, while not a zephyr, fanned the foli age, nor a whisper broke upou the stillness of "WHILE THESE SHALL BE A' WRONG UNSIGHTED, ASH HNTIL '‘‘jEiis’S INHUMANITY TO MAH" SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE. WELLSBORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. IB6S. For the Agitator. 'WHERE IS HEP , BT H. SYMMS the-night. : They had reached about the middle of the avenue, when they were alarmed by the sound of horses' hoofs. . Bath started and fear fully-looked behind, them ; the figure.of a man on horseback was; distinoly visible; .retreat or .flight was alike impossible, for in another min ute a cayalier, in complete armor, and mounted on a panting charger, stood beside them.;-In the next moment the knight-sprung from the saddle-haw, and falling gracefully upon one knee before the Baroness, exclaimed: "Fair Indy, deign to take pity on a stranger knight, who is pursued by his enemies i.even now," cried he, with increased trepidation, “is a price set upon my bead; my party have been' defeated by some of Cromwell's army, and a number of my followers are slain, Deign then, kind lady, to grant me pn asylum in your man sion for the night only; and I pledge' you on the faith of a true.knigbt to requite your hospi tality.” j “Sir Knight," replied the baroness, “your re quest is granted ; it la enough for me to know that you are n royalist, and in danger; follow us then, and I promise you a safe retreat." The cavalier arose, and was profuse in his expressions of thankfulness. In silence they now pursued their way, until they reached the principal entrance of the castle. The baron ess rung at the massive portal, and in a few seconds it, was .opened by an aged domestic. “Morden, see that yon steed lacks not proper food; and for you, Sir Knight, I bid you wel come ; you need not be apprehensive, 1 am mis tress here, and there is none to thwart mo.” They were now ushered by several domestics through suitvof. rooms, until they came to one brilliantly illuminated, and furnished in a-style of magnificence suited to the time; the walls were of oak, richly! carved; and the ceiling which formed a cupola, was of the same mate rial. Upon a marble pedestal, stood an ala baster chandelier, in which were numerous lights, that gave a brilliancy to the whole apart ment. The Baroness politely motioned her guest to a seat, and ordered the supper pres ently to be ready. When the dotaestics bad quitted the apportment, she arose, and taking a small silver lamp from a table near her, she re quested the cavalier to follow her. “Sir Knight,” continued she, “while the do mestics are preparing! our repast, I will show you where you may conceal yourself, and where, even should your pursuers demand an entrance, they cannot discover you,” Then turning to ber’young friend, ejie said, in a teno of assumed: gaiety. '‘Annette, my love, take your lyre, it will while away the time till onr return saying this, she quitted the room, followed by the strange cavalier. They proceeded through a long suite of rooms which terminated in a', winding gallery ; here they paused to ujpook a door, which discovered a narrow stair-case; having ascended several steps,, they found themselves in a spacious apart ment arras. It was perfectly square. The bar oness advanced to one;, side of the room, and lifting the banging, gently touched an unseen spring; instantly one of the pannele disap peared, and displayed a room of more spacious dimensions than the former. "Hero, then. Sir Knight," exclaimed the Bar eness,'“you may find a safe retreat; I will my self teach you the virtue of the spring, that in case of a surprise, you may, without difficulty, find your way to this apartment.” Having satisfied herself that her guest was acquainted with the method of opening the panel, the Baroness hastened to return te the saloon, fearful that Annette might be uneasy at her absence. The dulcet notes of the lyre, reached the apartment. Annette expressed her joy at their return ; and at the request of the cavalier, sung a ballad with exquisite pathos and harmony. Sapper was 'now spread; the Baroness cour teously invited her guest to partake of the rich .viands that were set before him. The repast being ended, they entered into an interesting discussion upon the probable result of the fatal wars that had harrassed every part of that kingdom. The discourse had lasted about an hour, when the hearts of all present seemed to stand still, as a loud knocking was beard at the portal. “Fly, Sir Knight,” cried the Baroness, hasti ly putting a lamp into his hand ; “your pursu ers are here—but fear nothing—remember the ■secret spring !” The cavalier pressed the hand from which he took the lamp, and hastily quit the appartment. The kno ( king was now renewed with re doubled violence; and the domestics were or dered to give parley. It was, indeed, some of Cromwell's party, who were in quest of their unfortunate victim. They loudly demanded ad mittance which the Baroness, anxious to pro long for a while, desired her servonts to refuse. Soon, however, they accompanied their knocking A'ith threats, apd the porter was desired to suffer them to enter. A party of soldiers now rushed into the hail. They soon found their way to the saloon, were the Baron ess and Annette were seated in trembling agi tation. The foremost of the party, who seemed the chief in command, now spoke— “We believe you to bo the Baroness D , and as such take you , .to be an adherent of Charles Stuart; we, therefore, command you, in the name of the commonwealth, instantly to deliver up him you have concealed within these, walls. This is our general’s pleasure.” “Yon are correct in the conclusion you have formed of me,” rejoined the Baroness ; “but be whom you seek is not here ; but go," she; continued, “you have free access to every part, of my mansion.” No sooner bad the Baroness ceased speaking, than the soldiers quitted the room to commence their search,. About an hoar elapsed, daring which time tbs two ladies sat in a trembling state of anxi ety and apprehension. At length a heary tread announced the return of the' beseigers.—- Their voices Were raised as if in deep alterca tion ; as they approached the saloon, it annk into audible murmurs, accompanied by mut tered threats and imprecations. The leader of the band re-entered the apartment, and eaid, '“we find tfaat we have, been mistaken, lady ; bat beware that you do not harbor any traitor, for you. would'sorely repent your rashness.” The man then quitted the room, and oom- Fkiend Agitator. —Again I find myself seat ed to relate to your readers a few of the inci dents that have transpired daring the past week. On Saturday morning, the 27th ult., we received orders to march with tho regiment at 1 o’clock p. m. The orders were obeyed with some reluctance, for we bad-just finished our labor with the pick add spade,’ and did not wish to change our position, unless they would, take us to some place where we could use some oth er weapons, and try our strength in a different system of warfare. After a long and ■ weary march, we halted near Fort Pennsylvania, soon all were busy erecting their tents,, and before .S o’cloek, all,was nicely arranged for sleep. — Theuest day (Sunday) passed off well. There was preaching in camp by our Chaplain,, and mandifig the soldiers to follow: him, the. portal pile#; more closed upon the unwelcome visitants. jThe;Baioneas having-assured herself that peace waslreskored, hastened, to that part of the castle where she had secured the unfortunate stran ger. dTs she; trod along the . epadious apart ments,'she often paused to listen, and in imag- i nation,' she (bought she coold hear the dread ful imprecations .that had escaped the soldiers ; but all was still, and she reached the door of the captive knight. Great was the cavalier’s joy at beholding her, and profusely did be pour forth his expressions of thankfulness to his deliverer. They contin ued to converse upon what had passed for some time after they bad reached the saloon. The Baroness posted two of her domestics in the great hall for the night, in case, of a second alarm '; and her guest entreated permission to watch with them, biit this his kind hostess would not consent to. They now separated for the night - j . The next morning when they met at the breakfast table, they recapitulated the events of the preoeeding night, and a general thanks giving wes offered to that Power which 1 had protected them- If the Baroness ahd her yoong friend bad been charmed with the ele gant deportment of the young cavalier on the previous evening, they were now not less de lighted at the graceful polish of his manners, and the refined intelligence that pervaded his conversation. “When breakfast was over he prepared to depart; but tbe Baroness so warm ly urged tbe necessity of his remaining until bis pursuers had quitted the precincts of the 1 castle, and so strongly animadverted upon the probability that some secret emissary might be lying in wait for him, that he consented to re main for af few days. The time passed uninterruptedly in agreea ble and interesting discourse, which was occa sionally varied by the sweet tones of the lyre, to which Annette sung in strain of touching melody, and at the request of the stranger would frequently repeat her lay. It was on the fifth day of the knight’s sojourn at the castle. The Baroness, Annette, and the cava lier were all seated in the saloon, watching the shades of evening closing around them. “To-morrow, iay kind friends, I must de part,” exclaimed, the knight; “by dawn of day my-steed must be in readiness," and, contin ued he, addressing the Baroness, at tbe same time unclasping from his kneck a gold chain of exquisite workmanship “let ms present you with this, and remember that you may claim everything at my bands, for my debt to you cannot easily bs repaid.” Saying this, he im printed a kiss on the hand that was extended toward him. On the following morning, at dawn of day, Morden was in the court yard, holding the bri dle rein of the noble charger. In an instant the knight had vaulted in his saddle ; the old porter presented the stirrup-cup, then gave the parting beneditfion. The knight gave one glance at the window, where stood the Baron ess and Annette, who bad both risen at an ear ly hour in compliment to their goest; thrice be saluted the fate inmates—in another minute the horse and bia ridef bad disappeared. It was on the 20fh of Slay, 1661, that Ibe Baroness afad her friend were seated at an open window in the spacious library ; . the castle clock had, tolled the honr of noon—then aocus-, turned dinner hour fur all persons of quality. “We must begin onr journey to-morrow, dear Annette,’/ exclaimed the Baroness, “for I would behold our Monarch's triumphal entry to the throne of hie ancestors; and who knows,” continued she, as she gazed anxiously upon her young friend’s pallid countenance—" who knows but what we may see him who once sought shelter within these walls ; such an event would, I know, give my dear friend plea sure." Annette spoke not; but a pale blush over spread her fine features ; still she remained si lent. The remainder of the day was spent in making preparations for their departure. On the following morning, the two friends at tended by a train of domestics, set out fur the metropolis; and at the expiration of a week, during which nothing particular happened, ar-, rived at the entrance of the vast city. It was on the very day that the populace were assemb ling to welcome their sovereign. Triumphal arches, decorated with flower and interspersed with oak-boughs, were raised across the road, and at intervals through every street.. The windows in all the' houses were adorned with garlands, or hung with costly drapery; the bells of the neighboring churches were send ing forth a joyous peal, while drums and trum pets resounded from every quarter. An im mense multitude, bath in carriage and on foot, thronged every aveirae. The Baroness commanded her coachman to drive up one side, as a deafening shdut rent the air, intimating the monarch’s approach. An other shont—and another ascended from the people; all eyes were turned to one individual. Mounted on d milk-white charger, his head un covered, and repeatedly bowing to the multi tude, sat —Charles II! Baroness’s attention was suddenly called to her young friend. She, too, looked that way, but the'sight had been too much, for her—An nette de Montmorency bad fainted. She had seen the face before; it was the stranger Knight —it was Charles Stcart. From Capt. Phillips’ Company. Frederick City, Oct. 4, 1862. all appeared to respect , the day, as far as cir cumstances would admit. At the beating of tattoo, all was qaiet again, but we were not allowed to remain so only for a short time, for at eleven o’clock, orders came to strike tents, pack knapsacks, cook three days’ rations', and be ready to march at three o’clock to Washington and take the-cars for Frederick City. The order focook rations, was soon countermanded by the Quarter Master, that there were no provisions in camp. He was immdiately sent off to Washington to have two days’ rations of hard bread ready upon our arrival tfaare. At the appointed hour, we took up our line of march. All passed off pleasant ly enough, until we arrived in the city, and there for three long weary, miles, we had- to march through! tbe streets, the dust at times completely enveloping us ; and-to make it more unpleasant, w« had to march in sections, and keep in as good order as possible. At 8 o’clock we arrived at the depot; the cars were not ready, for us, and for five long‘hours we had to wait in the dusty street and eat our hard crack ers,'which was all we had for our breakfast. ' At one o’clock the welcome order came for all to get aboard the cars, and in a short time we were moving on towards our place of desti nation. Our ride was far mure pleasant than I had anticipated. From the Relay House tb the Washington Junction, was the most beauti ful scenery my eyes ever beheld. The moun tains upon either side were covered with 1 a dense forest. * The rough and towering rocks, the beautiful murmuring river rushing along over the wheels of factories and flouring mills, all appeared conscious of their power to please and benefit man. ’Tie while gazing upon so much* beauty, the w-enry soldier forgets his pain, and he can thank his Creator for giving him those noble powers which toaoh all to ad l mire the beautiful and good. We arrived at this place at 2 o’clock a. m., and threw ourselves upon the ground, and slept until morning, with naught to cover us but our over-coats, and the broad canopy of heaven. At 10 pj’clockwe were marched back a few rods " into an open field where we still remain en camped. We have neither .Cents or blankets, | all were left behind ; and when we shall get them I cannot tell, buf it does seem that; Uncle' Sam might do a little better by us than be has for the past week. You at home may think it quite romantic to sleep upon the cold ground through a cold rain, but 1 for oue can say that it is not quite so pleasant as one could wish.— Night and day the cars,are in motion, regiment after regiment keep coming in. There is now fifty thousand men,encamped around the city; they are now leaving for Harper’s Ferry and Sharpsburg as fast as possible, we shall follow as soon as we get new guns, which we must have before we go into a’fight, and if a person can judge anything by the movements of troops, I think that we shall see one soon. The pres ent month, no doubt, will he ao eventful one in the history of the war, and with the largo army which we now have in the field, we must certainly march on to victory. ’ Mazzkpa. | A Babbit In a Battle. AS INCIDENT OS THE BATTLF.-FU.D OF MALVSBS HILL. A full -grown rabbit had hid himself away in the ■ copse of a fence, which separated two fields near the centre, aindrinost Exposed portion of the battle ground.' Babbits are wont te spend the day almost motionless, and in seem ing dreary meditation. This .one could hare but little thought—if rabbits think when chous ing its place of retreat at early dawn, that there would be an unwonted and ruthless dis turbance. Daring all the preparations made around its lair throughout the forenoon it neverless re mained quiet. Eatlyr however in the afternoon, when the rage of battle had fairly begun, and shot and shell were falling thick and fust in all directions, a shell chanced to burst so near Mr. Rabbit’s biding place, that he evidently con sidered it, unsafe to tarry longer. So, fright ened almost to death, out he sprang into the open field, and ran hither and thither, with the vain hope of finding a Baft retreat, Whioheier way it ran, cannons were thundering out their smoke and tire, regiments of men were advan cing or changing position, horses were gallop ing here and tlrcre, shells bursting ami solid shot tearing up the ground. Sometimes it would squat down, and lie perfectly still, when some new and 4 sudden danger would again start it into motion. Once more it would stop and an high ns possible on its hindlegs, and look all round for some place of possible retreat. At length; that part of the field seemed open which lay in the direction opposite from where the battle raged more fiercely. Thither it ac cordingly -ran with all its remaining speed. Unobserved by it,-however, a regiment was in that direction, held in reserve, and like Wel lington’s at Waterloo, wore lying flat on the ground, in order to escape the flying bullets. Ere the rabbit seemed aware, it had jumped' into the midst of these men. It could go no. further, hirt presently nestled down beside a”; soldier, aird tried to hide itself under his arm. As the man spread the skirt of his coat over' the trembling fugitirtj, iu order to insure it all the protection in wsj power to bestow, he qo doubt feelingly remembered how much he him self heeded'some higher protection, 1 under the shadow of whose arm might be hidden his own defenseless head from the fast multiplying mis siles of death scattered in all directions: It yras not long, however, before the regi ment was ordered up and forward. . From the protection and safety granted, the timid crea ture ead evidently acquired confidence hi man —ae the boys are wont to say, 1 “had been tamed.’’ As the regiment moved forward to the.front of the battle, it bopped along, tame, seemingly, as a: kitten, close at the feet of the soldier who had given it the needed protection. Wherever theregimqnt went, during'nil the remaining part of that bloody day and terrible ■battle, the rabbit kept -close beside its new friend. When night came on, and the rage of battle had ceased, it . finally, unmolested and quietly, hopped away, in order to find some one nl its old and iamiliar haunts, Howwoulthdinelooliwilhoutspaecs.

Unqualified Indorsement of the Emancipation Proclama tion. A Hundred Thousand Reserves Pro posed. After nearly one year and a half spenf'ln contest with an armed and gigantic Rebellion against the National Government of the'United States, the duty and purpose of the loyal is tales and people continue, and must always remain, ; as they were at its origin namely, to restore and perpetuate the authority ef this Govern ment, and the life of the nation, no matter what consequences are involved in our fidelity. Nevertheless, this work of restoring the Re public,’ preserving the institutions of derate cratiq liberty, and justifying the hepes toils of our fathers, shall pot fail to be,per formed, and we pledge without hesitation to the President of the United States the most loyal and cordial support, hereafter, as hereto fore, in the exercise of the functions qf,‘bis great office. We recognize in hitn the Chief Executive Magistrate of the Nation, the Coin mander-in-Cbief of the Army and Navy ' United States, their responsible and constitu tional head, whose rightful authority ■ and ‘ power, as well as the constitutional powers of Congress, must be vigorously and religiously guarded and preserved as the condition on which our form of government and -the consti tutional rights and liberties of the people them selves can be saved from the wreck of anarchy, _ or from the gulf of despotism. In to the laws which may have been or whicirmay be duly enacted, and to the lawful orders of the President, in our own spheres in the National Government, we mean to continue in the most vigorous exercise of all our lawful and proper powers, contending against treason, rebellion, and the public ene mies, and, whether in public life or in the pri vate station, supporting the arms of the Union until its cause shall conquer—until final victory shall perch upon its standard, or the Rebel foe shall yield a dutiful, rightful, and uncondition al submission. Impressed the conviction that'an army of reserve ought, until the war shall end, to be constantly kept on foot, to be raised, armed, equipped and trained at home, and ready-for emergencies, we respectfully ask the President to coll for such a force of volunteers for one year’s service, of not less than one hundred thousand in the aggregate, the quota of each State to. be raised after it shall have filled its quotas of the requisitions already made for volunteers and for militia. We believe thgt this would bo a measure of military prudence, while it would greatly promote the military edu cation of the people. IVe hail with heartfelt gratitude and encour aged hope the proclamation of the President issued on the 22d inst., declaring emancipated from their bondage all persons held to service or labor as slaves in the Rebel States whose Rebellion shall last until the first day of Jan uary ensuing. The right of any persons to retain authority to compel any portion of the subjects of the National Government to rebel against it, or to maintain its enemies, implies, in those who are allowed the possession of such 'authority, the,right fo rebel themselves ; and, therefore, the right to establish martial law or , military government in a State or Territory, in rebellion implies the right and the duty of the ■- Government to liberate the minds of all men living therein by appropriate proclamations, and assurances of protection, in order that all whu are capable, intellectually and morally, of loyalty and obedience, may not be forced into treason, as the willing tools of rebellious trai tors. To have continued indefinitely the.most efficient cause, support, and stay of the rebel lion, would have been, in our judgment, unjust to the loyal people whose treasure and lives are made a willing sacrifice on the altar of pa triotism, would have discriminated against the wife who is compelled to surrender her hus band, against the parent who surrenders his child to the hardships of the camp and perils of battle and in favor of Rebel masters thus permitted to retain their slaves. It wouldbayo been a .final 'decision alike against humanity, justice, the rights and dignity of the Govern ment, and against a .sound and wise national policy. The decision of the President to strike at the root of the Rebellion.willlend new vigor to,the efforts, and new, life and hope to the hearts o.f the people. Cordially tendering to the President our respectful assurance of per sonal and official confidence, we trust and be lieve that the policy now inaugurated will be crowned with success, will give speedy and tri umphal victories over our enemies, and secure to this nation and this people the blessing and favor of Almighty God. W.e believe that the blood of the heroes who have already fallen, and those who may yet give up their lives to the country, will not have been shed in vain. The splendid valor of our soldiers, their pa- ■ tient, endurance, their manly patriotism, and their devotion to duty, demand from us and from all their countrymen the homage of the sincerest gratitude, and the pledge of our con stant re-enforcement and support. A just're gard fur these baave men, whom we have ■Con tributed to place in Ihe field, and for the im ’ portance of the duties which may lawfully per tain to us hereafter, has called u« into friendly conference. 1 And now, presenting to our National Chief Magistrate this conclusion of our deliberations, we derate ourselves to our country’s service, end we will surround the President with our constant support, trusting that the fidelity and zeal of the loyal States and people will aiway's assure him that he will be constantly main tained in pursuing with vigor this war for the preservation of the national life and the hopes of humanity.
