XHEBULLERS DAUGHTER. j ■ "Many years ago, the commnnityof a hata let- id the south of France, was startled by a crime,.,rare, indeed, in their quiet, hgricultn-t ral district. A wealthy farmer...was found' dead, at early morning, jsitbin one hundred yards of his own house.. -He had been killed by blows administered with a heavy stake, which lay near the body, covered'with blood, and all his pockets had been rifled of their contents, including a considerable sum of mon ey,-which he was known to Shave received the previous evening, for'some sheep .sold by him in the neighboring market-town. When , the awe and excitement created , by this event had subsided a little, every exertion was made by the authorities to ferret.out the ed'fbr the discovery of the- murderer, procla mation of which bounty was made for several successive Sundays at the church door. At last some disclosures were made implicating a young man named Laroche——a stripling of eighteen years. *■ The person who brought the charge against young Laroche was a.man of the name of Lan dry—a stranger in the district—but who had already been appointed by the lord of the manor as one of the "keepers of his game pre serves, Landry testified that he bad seen Laroche! cutting a state from a hedge on the afternoon previous t<3 the murder, and that he had reproved him for it, and, taking the stake from him had-stuck-it in- the- bank of the hedge at a particular spot. ..The stake was the same one that was found' lying near the body of the murdered farmer. Landry ,could swear to it, because, after taking it from Laroche, he had nicked it in a peculiar way with h!s knife. i Now it so haippened that the bordered far mer had many' influential friends, .while Laro che had bat feyv. Therefore Laroche was con victed of the murder, and sentenced to he hanged on a certain day, at "a certain place; until which time he was placed in the jail of thb district —the third floor of a large '.stone, building, the lower part of which was* a mill. The prison consisted of a single apartment, lighted by one email window at a height of about sixteen feet from the floor. The side of the building from which the window looked; ran sheer down to the water of a dark and deep river, which crept lazily hy the mill, but quickened its pace.a.little dower down, until it gradually became a. rushing, torrent, leaping wildly to its fall over a perpendicular ledge of rocks.; Bodies,carried over that fall were said never.to have teen recovered, and it was a fixed notion■ among' the .country. people that: there was a foroo in the whirl-pool below by which everything falling into it was carried down into the unexplored abysses of .the earth. It was the day before, that fixed for the ex ecution of young Laroche, and the - priest of the parish, Father, Allard by name, had been left -alone with the. prisoner, in order to pre pare "him, by "the consolation of religion, for his approaching- doom. To his.words ’of "com fort Laroche listened with humility "and si lence, until the good father began to dilate up on his chances of forgiveness in - the nest world, for the terrible crime committed by him. Then the prisoner electrified him by de claring his perfect innocence of the crime— a position .which he meant to, maintain,,he said, with his latest breath. . ",To bo brief,'.the.,youth of the prisoner, his earnest asseyeratibn.of innocence, and a waver ing doubt of his'guilt which had all "along troubled Father-Allard’s mind r so wrought up on, that worthy, man that ha "at last, consented to ,commit himself to a pian for giving, the prisoner a chance of escape, if ,not from death, at least from the ignominy of dying by, the hands of the accursed hangman. . ” f *lf I die.,by the gallows, most reverend father,” said the yonng man, “ a great sqtrow will some day fall upon all concerned in,; my death. . The. real murderer is. sore to be dis covered, sooner or lator, and then I shall have been, a murdered man, and. the just retribu tion of Heaven will pursue-my- murderers.— Aid »e to. escape, rather than : risk •a . great stain upon your .'conscience.; Stand upon this chair, which I-place u upon the" table, thus, and then* .by, mounting open yoor. shoulders,- l ean i reach .the window anddropfrom-it,” U' i ', , Bnt:tbe river below I” ET BATAED-TAYLOR. “ I swim like an otter; and, at any rate, it is bettor to be drowned than hanged/ 5 Convinced of the yonn'g man’s innocence, Father Allard consented to aid him-in his es cape. A moment sufficed to carry the plan in to execution. The prisoner gained the window, and disappeared. - _ .Parrading in , a straggling way outside‘the building, went one of the minor officera of justice—-a stolid peasant, who had been placed there by way of sentry, and who at this mo ment happened to be looking towards the' riv er wall of the mill.; Sis sight nearly left him, as ha’ afterward,stated, when ha saw a man. drop from tjie window, strike on to a platform that protruded from a doorway in the second story, and, rebounding from that, fell into the water with a heavy plunge, reappearing at in tervals, until he was carried away into the rapids below. . The alarm was at once given. Village offici als rushed to the prison room, where they found Father Allard, alone, seated in the chair, pale, and, as if just recovering from the sight of some supernatural vision."To the questions put to him he replied that, as he was adminis tering the consolation ef his.holy office to the prisoner, a voice sounded through the apart ment, accompanied by the shadow of a mighty pair of wings, on which the prisoner mounted to the ceiling of the apartment, and was no . more seen by him. The voice, he added, pro claimed the prisoner’s innocence, and that the real circumstances of the murder would soon be made manifest.- It was a miracle, and the good country.people, ever ready to accept that form of interposition, were easily persuaded to do so on the present occasion. - Meantime. Laroche, when be leaped from the-window,.had forgotten all about the plat-, form. As he fell upon it, he displaced a sack, of grain, which splashed into the dark waters of the river, appearing to the eyes of the 1 * be wildered sentry to he the body of the man who had dropped from the prison window.—- Laroche lay. upon the, narrow platform, stun ned by his heavy fall? Spiride, the miller’s daughter, saw him foil. There was no one else in the mill at the time. She drew him quickly behind ” the sacks and' great heaps of grain on. •the floor, and,- having, administered to him such restoratives as her young experience sug gested, threw some loose sacks, over him, and told him to lie atilll ” ■ ' That night Spiride and her lover—Laroche and she had bfeeh lovers for about sis hours only—made their way.to.where a boat lay moored below the fells, and, embarking in it, were soon carried beyond the reach of pur suit. It was supposed by the affrighted' villa gers that Spiridejmnst have been carried from, above bad-been seen to strike upon it;.and, as the .whirl-pool below the torrent bad never been known to give up its dead, but little search was.madc for her, and her friends re signed themselves to mourning for her awful fate. Less than six months after this Landry was tried for tfie murder of a brother keeper, and was convicted and hanged accordingly.— ■Previous to this execution, however, he made a clean breast of it to Father, Allard, confessing that he had' murdered the farmer for his mon ey, killing him- with the stake cut from -the hedge by young Laroche, which, as ha stated, singularly enough, suggested to him the idea of committing the crime. , , Two years elapsed, and Father Allard had ibeen promoted to a parish at a distance-of some fifty miles from the one of. which ha had been pastor-for so many, years. Shortly after his arrival there, his.duties led, him to take a journey on horseback, some miles into the interior of the parish of which he, had a charge. Part of the road travelled by him wound through a swampy forest region, and;After a ride of several miles, he came to a sluggish stream that had formerly been span-- ned by a bridge, of which nothing hut the abutments.now,remained, however. The priest turned his. hore’s head, and ipde along the bank of the river, hoping to find'another bridge, Or at ' least, a ford by which -he could cross to the further side ; nor had ho gono for when he discerned, by hoof marks,’ a - place .where cat . tie seemed to be in.the habit of wading througb, .or criming to drink. The water appeared to be shallowso be urged his unwilling horae into it, and gat about half-way across when the an imal began" to plunge and" struggle violently, sinking at the same time, as if drawn down ;By Some invisible .power. . Aware, now, that he bad fallen into one fof those quicksands which are noenneommon in that part of France, the good. fatho'r knew that to throw himself from his horse would be certain death, as- the witter"‘was not’deep enough to swim in, and the hungry sand at the bottom was gasping for him. He held his horse, therefore, and shout ed for help. .. , The water was gaining upon him, as the ter rified horse sank deeper and deeper in. the treacherous stream. Dp, np it came, until it reached his saddle flaps/and then his knees, and ha gave himself np for lost, when distant shouts came in response to his, which were growing feebler, witheach repetion.. .And now a roan-bursts his way through the brushwood on the river bank, and, laying Ms axe upon a tall, slender, young tree, cots it down four Or five rapid strokes, leaning it so that it falls out upon the water, its topmost bpughs just brush ing the horseman , in its fall. . Grasping the boughs with all his remaining strength, the priest was drawn to the bank ’by the woods man, ; fainting and senseless, however, and Witfr hardly a visible spark of life. When Bather Allard recovered conscious ness he found himself in n small but comforta ble room. Seeing him open his eyes, a buxom young woman, who, was bathing his temples, uttered an exclamation of joy, calling him by name; and now, as his dizzy senses brightened, what was his surprise to recognize in his.at tendant the lost—Spiride I - Explanations en «ned,and.all was made as clear as day, witbpnt recourse to marvel or miracle. Presently Laroche t who hod..been, engaged, with .the assistance of some neighbors, in ex tricating the ppest’s horse, caine in, and the meeting was ah'affecting'one between the two, each of whom had been thus wonderfully -sppointed'by Providence to preserve the other. Hy conscience is clear now,” said Father Allard. . “ Heaven has surely pardoned the little fiction framed by me, else why — 55 “But hold, reverend father, 5 ’ cried Laroche, interrupting him ; “ there was no fiction in the case.; yon said that I was carried away by an angel’s wings, and so I was, and this is the angel that saved me 155I 55 And lie laughingly threw his arms around-his pretty wife, and hugged her to his side. Poetical justice might now have been- well satisfied, but I have a few worda further to add upon the. subject. - - ;. • -Laroche, who was now employed as forester ap'on an estate, was enabled by the assistance of Father Allard to return to his native village, where, not Jong after, ho obtained an appoint ment. to tbg very keepership formerly hold by the assassin Landry. The mystery attending his miraculous escape and reappearance gave him an extraordinary influence among the peasantry. Stories lole nothing by circulation. He eventnally became a sanctified personage in the community; and a rudely carved effigy of-him is still to be seen in the chapel of the parish, with a pair of angel’s wings hovering over him, and a cross at his head and feet. 31 olf 11 ca I. [From the New York Herald.] Xbe'Preaidential Question—Shall Wo Have an Insurrection at the North f During the political canvass in' iB6O we warned both parties that the election might be followed by a revolution. Our warnings were not heeded then, and the consequence wae that the election. Lincoln was quickly succeeded by of the Southern States. Now, at the opening of-the canvass in. 1864, we have the same warning to utter; but it is in regard to an insurrection at the North. The experi rienoe of the past font years ought to. have taught the American people that, the Herald does not predict rashly, and that, its prophecies are worthy of the most earnest - attention.— When every other paper said that there was no danger of disunion, we assured the people that disunion would certainly be the.result of Mr. Lincoln’s election... Now we as solemnly assure, them .that, .unless, careful, precautions are taken, a Northern insurrection will be the certain result of Mr. Lincoln’s, re-election. We. Have.not the slightest doubt that there .is a mutual understanding between the Seymours, the Woods, Tallandighnmand the rebels. This understanding is shown in the secession plat form adopted Joy the Chicago Convention, and in the nomination of Mr, Pendleton.-of Ohiq— ■dent. We have now driven the rebels complete ly to the wall. Gen. Grant has the best of them at Bicbiqond, and Gen. Sborman has succeeded in capturing Atlanta. This is not the time, then, that any reasonable man would' be talking abont “ an immediate cessation of hostilities.” We are in favor of an armistice, like that between Prussia and Denmark, where both sides hold their ground and are ready to begin the conflict at any moment; bat there is a vast deal of difference between such an ar mistice and the “ immediate cessation of hos tilities” which the Chicago platform requires. Nothing can explain such a platform except the hypothesis that'it was dictated by Jeff. Davis to the peace democrats, and that these peace men foisted it upon the Chicago Conven tion as the price of their endorsement of Gen oral McClellan’s nomination. -For three years past the Herald has sastaiaed and defended the hero of Antietam. We have done full justice to his generalship, his states manship, bis honesty and his patriotism. But when McClellan takes his stand upon a cow ardly peace platform we are at a loss hpw to follow him and defend him. This the General has not yet done, and we hope that he will never be foolish enough to do it. We advise and nrge him to come ont boldly and declare that his only platform is his past record as a Union general, and that his sentiments are those expressed in bis letter from Harrison’s Landing and his oration at West Point. If he : hesitates to do this be is lost. There mnst be no prevarication nor equivocation. The rotten Chicago platform mast be kicked, to pieces and McClellan’s own platform substitu ted. He had .better a thousand fold decline the ; nomination than to accept it upon each condi tions as those imposed by the Convention. The Chicago platform invites defeat, and it must be " broken np, either by McClellan himself or by . the voice of the people at the polls. We candidly and sincerely believe that the peace copperheads at the North do not desire the election of McClellan any more than the Southern secessionists desired the election of Douglas or Breekenridge in 1860. They bit terly opposed McClellan at Chicago, and open ly denounced him as a tyrant and a usurper. Finally they accepted him, upon condition that they should have the platform and the Tice President. But even now the copperheads are not earnest in his support. Like the rebels, ; they wont to see Mr. Lincoln re-elected. There is no saying but that Mr. Lincoln may be elected by a small majority, and in that event the copperheads intend to raise a revolution at the North. This they can very readily do if . the people do not beware of the trap. Sup pose the election to be decided by only a few , thousand votes, then the democratic minority will be nearly as strong as the republican ma jority. In fact the minority will be stronger; foirtho democrats will fight, while the aboli tionists will not; and so a thousand democrats are more than equal to two thousand abolition republicans. What, then, is to binder a rev olution ?•Is it the army ? The moment the army is withdrawn to put down an insurrection here the rebels will come ont of their intrench inents and capture Washington. This, as wo understand it, is part of the copperhead plan, and if successful it will put an end to the gov ernment and the country. That this idea of a vast Northern conspiracy between the copperheads and the rebels is no mere bugbear is evident from the fact that the Chicago Convention, instead of adjourning tine c2ic, ; as : conventions usually, do,, adjourned to meet,again at.the.call of the Executive.

NO, 4. mittee- This is equivalent to the organiza tion of a revolutionary body. Our merchant and capitalists so consider it; for they are closing op business, shipping their goods back to Europe, turning their property into gold, sending their money across the water, and in every way preparing to leave the country aa soon as the revelation begins. These move ments are not to be lightly considered. They mean mischief, and show that trouble is brow ing. Gen. McClellan can avert that trouble end restore public confidence if he have the pluck, and sagacity to ignore the Chicago plat form and come out boldly as a Jackson demo crat on the platform of his past record. Then be will have a fair chance of election, because be will not be bound to a cowardly policy if he be elected. But what could Washington him self do if he were pledged to negotiate for “ an immediate cessation of hostilities ?” The Chi cago platform will encourage the rebels to hold - out until election, and, as things stand at pres ent, the peace copperheads have promised them one of two things ; either the re-election of Lincoln and a Northern insurrection—in which case the rebels will have the upperhand of ns; or, in the event of McClellan’s election, “ an immediate cessation of hostilities,” in which ease the rebels will have everything their own way. General McClellan can destroy these schemes by framing his own platform out of sound Union timber and being elected upon’St. Then a Northern insurrection will be impossi ble , and, if the people do their duty in the meantime, there will be no rebellion left to make terms with, and no Jeff. Davis in exist ence to receive an offer for “an immediate cessation of hostilities.” This’ is as great a crisis os that at Harrison’s Landing or at An tietam. Let Little Mac reflect deeply, and act wisely. Days Without Mights. Nothing strikes a stranger more forcibly, if be visits Sweden at the season of the year when the days are longest, than the absence of night. Dr. Baird once related'some interesting facta. He arrived at Stockholm from Gottenburg, a distance of four hundred miles, in the morning, and_ in the afternoon went to see some friends. He returned about midnight, when it was as light as it is in England half an hoar before sundown.' You coaid see distinctly, bat all was quiet in the..streets; it seemed as if the inhabitants were gone away or were dead.— The sun in Jane goes down in Stockholm a lit tle before ten o'clock. There is a great illumi nation all night, as the son passes round the earth towards the north pole, and the refraction of its raja is such that yon can see to read till time Dr. Baird awoke in Stockholm, he was surprised to see the sun shining into bis room. He looked at bis watch and found it was only 3 o'clock. The next time be awoke it was 5 o'clock, but there were no persons in the street. The Swedes in the cities are not very indus trious. There is a mountain at the Gulf of Bothnia where-on the Slat of June, the sun does not seem to go down at all. A steamer goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of carrying those who are cations to witness the phenome non. It occars only one night. The sun reach es the horizon, yon can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes more it begins to rise. At the North cape, latitude seventy-two degrees, the son does not go down for several weeks. In Jane it would be about twenty-five degree* above the horizon at midnight. In the Winter time the son disappears, and is not seen again for weeks;, then it comes and remains for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes, when it descends, and finally does not set at all, but makes almost a circle aronpd the heavens. Dr. Baird was asked how they managed in those latitudes with regard to hired persons, and what they consider a day. He replied, they worked by the hour, and twelve hours would be considered a day’s work. Birds and animals taka their accustomed rest at usual hours, whether the sun goes down or not. I A Woman’s Desert. —The following illustra tive idea of what constitutes a desert in a fel male mind, is taken from a novel entitled “ Marriage Douglas saw the storm-gatberiog on the brow of his capricious wife, and, clasping her to bis arms, he said: “Are you indeed so changed, my Julia, that you have forgotten the time when you used to declare yon would prefer a desert wUh your Henry to a throne with a another?” ' “ No, certainly, not changed ; but I—l did not know what a desert was, ‘or at least I had formed rather a I different idea of it.” “ What was your idea of a desert? Do tell me love.” “Oh I I had fancied it a beautiful place, fall of roses and myrtle, and smooth green turf and mnrmuring rivulets, and though very retired, not absolutely out the world, where one conld occasionally see one’s friend’s, and bo free from the cares of crying babies.” Gen. Dix is the oldest employed General now prominently before the public ; He was born in New Hampshire in 1798. Hunter was born in ■Washington in 1802. McClernard in Ken tucky in 1817. Hooker in Massachusetts in 1817. Sherman in Ohio in 1820. Grant in Ohio in 1812. Franklin in Pennsylvania in 1823. Hancock in the samel state in 1824. Sigel in Germany in 1524, and Slocum in New York in 1827. A wag kept np a continual fire of witticisms at a social party, when a puritanical gentle man, who enjoyed sermons and snuff better than jokes and pans, sharply observed: “ H you keep on, yon will make every de cent person leave the house.” “That would he a sorry joke,” was the dry reply, “ for yon would certainly feel very lonesome when left alone.” The evening is the time for social delight.— The. fountain of pleasure, like-many springs |n nature which stop in the day time, 1 bubble up in the bosoms of companions at nightfall.
