May still bending ovor tho countenance
which seemed to enchant him liko a dream.
Tho esotics in Mrs. Leaford's bay win

tho fire, which ono or two days had ren
dered far from disagrecablo even in April,
glowed cheerfully in tho grato, and half a

"Why, is it possible I I must bo mis

soon as tho customtry greetings of the day
wero exchanged, "I am in a state of very

"Certainly if I can," sjiid Virginia,

''How did this picture obtain a place in
your album ?"
The color subsided into ordinary pallor,
as Virginia replied : "In rather a roman
tic manner, Captain May. It was sent to
mo, with no accompanying message, and i
L haven t the least idea where it oamo
from."
"Ah! that furnishes a cluo to tho wholo
mystory," said Captain May, placing up
on the tablo tbo pioturo which had lain
next to his heart for the last few days, and
relating briefly bow it had fallen into his
possssion. "15y some mistake at tho pho
tographer's, my littlo Harry's picture had
been sent to you, and your likeness to me.
I am a widower, Miis Lynno, with ono

He looked earnestly into her faco,whcro

looked aud saw something that encouraged
him to ask another question.
'Miss Iiynne Virginia may I keep

And she did not say "No."
When Captain May sailod tho next day,
it was with "something to forward to" on
his return.

sister, "what have you beon doing ? Don't

Mr. Blair's mission to Richmond was
clearly a concession. The savage and
uncompromising temper of the faction in
power is not one from which men will ac
cept concessions as acts of graco. The
President and Seorctary of State, who
spurnod tbo mission of Mr. Stephens last
year, went to moot him a few days ago as
an iuvitod guest, aud, in tho judgment o'f
of all men who havo witnessed thotr feroc
ity in tho hour of strength, did so under a
oonsciousnofs of weakness. That yield
ing to necessity is an official declaration
that tho "rebellion" so far is it from beinp:
crushed, is iu tho full bloom of vigoiours
life.

tho Administration from the St. Croix to

Half a million of dollars havo been ap. ,

and yet wo are, in the faco of this irre-! ment, and Kings County has declared
sistible ovideuco of tho contrary, inundat-, through her press that Bbe can bear no
cd by a flood of falsehoods which seeks to .
bear us on to the vory reverse of the eon
olusiou that the South continues to wield
with fiery resolution a tremendous power.
Examine tho stato of the caso under'tbe
light of our knowledgo of general fact in '
tbo Confederacy. Differences of opinion j
exi Ud there until a few days ago on
questions of detail j but in Congress and
out of Congrcs theso nevor involved the
subject of Confederate independence. On
that question all wero in perfect accord.
The points in issue in tho dissensions of
the South havo, however, been all conced
ed. General Loo is t'ommandor-in Chief,
with full power to place on army under the
command of Johnson. Slave culistmonts
have been settled by a compromise. All
parties express their readiness to flcctfpt
that alternative when it shall have become
a necessity of independence, and those who
brought it forward havo actually carried
it into effect in tho initial form of employ
ing forty thousand slavc3 for sptcial duties
in tho field. Harmony and confidence
thus completely restored among them, the
people of tho South approach tho opening
of tho struggle in their characteristic elas
ticity of spirit, hopeful to the verge of even
enthusiasm.
The employment of forty thousand slaves
in certain military duties of tho rear,sends
to tbo front a ro- enforcement of forty thou
