Love and Suicide--A Strange Story.
On the 30th of April, a young man named
Carper, a baker, residing in Harrisburg, left
home under very mysterious circumstances,
and had not been hoard of• up till Monday.
It was reported that ho had•been hist seen on
e Ilamsburg bridge, going in the direction
of Cumberland county, by a "female acquaint
ance," to whom he expressed an intention to
destroy himself. The lady in question has
since published a-statement, denying that she
knew the young man, or that she had ever
-,en him before. The lady, who is a resident
rf Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county, relates
a following singular interview
I had proceeded but a ,very short distance
into the bridge from the Cumberland side
when I was accosted by the voice of a man
trotuthe. opposite sidewalk, calling—" Young
lady, stop I" Thinking he was some one that
meant an insult, I walked briskly to got out
of his way ; When he followed me, and called
again, in a faltering voice—"Oh 1 won't you
stop?" I did stop, when hie first words were,
"You are going to-the city. Do you know a
certain young lady?" (mentioning her name.)
"Will you bear a message to her, and ono to
my dear,mother ?".. At the recital he wept
bitterly, saying—" Tell my mother I love her
dearly; tell her I am' leaving my home and
the city forever; tell ber I died happy in tie
thought that my troubles would soon have an
end ; tell her to meet ma in another land."
He appeared to be in the deepest - distress. Ile
said he loved the lady dearly, and for her he
would die. He also said a few words concern
ing his father,' whetz_he again wept, and I
wept with him. I used every endeavor to
persuade him to consider what he was doing,
_and noS rush his soul before his God uncalled
for. I told him his troubles were only for a
little while on earth ; but if - he took his own
life, they would be to all eternity. Ile replied
he know my admonitions were good :
but, under the present circumstances, heeould
not heed them, and in a sandy bed in the
river there was repose than on any
other. ❑e continued, "Can I rely on you as
a lady, and on your word, to deliver those mes
sages 7" I entreatesl.of him not to do what
he wan going to do, and not send me with
such adistressing message to his mother. Ile
replied, "Tell her I am determined." Ile
told me he was a baker at Roumfort's, that I
would find his mother in Fifth street—that
her name was Eliza. His name was Jacob G.
Carper. He had nothing .with• him but 'a
small book, and a.peneil in his hand ; had on
light clothes ; he appeared rational in-all his
conversation. 1.4 left me, when - I called af
ter him again to raison .with him; but he
shook his hands, and seemed as much as to
say he did not want to hear any more persua
sion. Ms last words were, "Forget not your
promise to tell my mother. Farewell, toy
young friend; you and I will never meet any
more." He said ho was not what I, perhaps,
thought him to be. "No, no; I have been
raised well, and have a pretty good education."
I delivered my message; I did my duty in
trying to perimade'bial nut to rush his soul
into eternity. My tonseienee is clear, but
never do I want another message like this to
carry to a distressed parent again. I met him
on the 30th of April, between the hours of
three and four r. ts.•
The Poblic Lamps in Allegheny.
By a repoluliou of Allegheny Conneile, the
oper . Committees have been directed to in-
B' into the propriety of making it tho duty
quire . chi p olice to light, extinguish nod
of the m e
keep clean to public, lamps of the city. It
was hinted, by a
Waggish member of Select
Nig bp an excellent meth •
Council, that this w,
extend their
od of compelling the p. •-•„.4 4 3 , thi s means,
walks through the eity—L. 14 0 prosaism
places not heretofore honored • .
woeld
of the guardians of the ni,,s Gtj
receive at least a share of theii tho
atten
tion. Perhaps there was something in
suggestion, but the present police aru
decidedly of the opinion that six men could
not light and extinguish the lamps, over an
extended city like Allegheny, within tho time
-required for that work. The police in this city
attend to lighting the public lamps; but the
argument is used, that on this side of the
river - there is a watchman to every square.
But how stands the casein Allegheny? There
are only two hundred and ten street lamps in
the city, which, equally divided among sax
policemen, would give the low number of
thirty-five lamps to each man. These lamps,
although they extend over the greater-part of
the city, are on the main thoroughfares, and
require but comparatively little time in light
, ing. It is true, the lamp-lighters cannot.per-
mit the grass to grow under their feet while
'making their rounds, and we should not sup
pose that the time required in lighting thirty
live lamps would exceed an hour—and might
be accomplished in less time. The iefereoeo
would be, therefore, that if the city was pro
perly districted, the night police could attend
to this duty without imposing any unneces
sary berthen Upon them. The resolution is
-certainly worthy the attention of the Police
:and Gas Committees, and if this work Min be
Alone so tie to result in a saving to the city,
'the change should be made.
Arrest of s Fugitive
Some time niece an information was made
Against Peter J. Gallagher ' then residing in
Venango county, by Mary Ann Seth, setting
forth that said Peter was responsible for a
certain condition of affairs, and caking that
justice be done. Peter, getting wind of the
matter, made tracks for this city, where he
has hien engaged at work. The Sheriff of
Veningo county, Mr. Melifavy, arrived in the
city to-day, with a warrant for his arrest,
which after—being properly endorsed, was
placed in the band, of officer Strain, who
round the fugitive at his place uf employment,
and took him into custody. We presume bail
will be entered, if the affair ebould not termi
nate by a wedding.

“S. T.” and the Relief Tax.
Mew/. Editors: My attention has been
called to an item over the signathre "S. T."
in your paper of the 2d inst. "S. T." bears
me a grudge because I lopped off some of the
perquisites of hie office, ouch as pay for an
extrabratehmen in • the jail—extra allowance
for salt, Ac.,
He assumes that the relief fund tax is ex
ceedingly popular, and is anxious to have it
made known that I am opposed to the re
assessment of that tax, supposing that thin
will render me exceedingly unpopular. Al
though "S. T." is .the sworn chief peace offi
cer of the county, ho calls on the wives and
families of the soldiers to mob me. His offi
cial oath sits lightly upon him, forsooth. If
it will further his designs . or gratify him, I
will state over my own signature that I am
opposed to this relief tax boil* re-assessed
for the ensuing year. I consider it a hum
bug and an imposition on the taxpayers of
the county. This tax was only for a tempo
rary purpose—to relieve the families of our
volunteers until they would have time to earn
and send home their pay. It was so regarded
by legislators who passed the bill. If as
sessed, there are hundreds of poor widows
and families who, to pay it, will have to labor
harder and stint themselves 'more than thou
sands who receive it. If trao charity . wore
to direct thepubilie bounty, hundreds of other
poor women in our midst can be found who
have largo families to support, and have to
support them by their own exertions, their
husbands being either dead, or in some in
stances worse than dead—besotted burdens to
them; yet the women and families whose hus
bands aro in the artriy,fed and clothed at pub
lic, expense, and receiving thirteen dollars
per month or mare to send home, must be
supported by a tax on this already tax-rid
den community. It isall well enough for an
office-seeking politician or an official who, re
gardless of the burden ho imposes, to cry out
tax I tax. I but "S. T." must recollect that it
is my duty to protect the interests of the tax
payer of the county as far as in me lies, and
I assure him I shall perform that duty to the
best of my ability—even if it render me un•
popular with certain ladies who live quite at
their ease, receiving their living at the hands
of the relief committee, and pocket the money.
remitted to them by their husbands besides.
Nor must it be understood that I disregard
the wants of those wives or families of absent
soldiers who are actually in need of relief. I
think no soldier's wife or family should be al
lowed to suffer want. I would give the last
dollar before this should be. Therefore when
a husband le so regardless of seal .1 duty as
to spend or squander his pay, and his wife or
family have neither means nor resource by
their own industry or otherwise to make a
living, I think they should be relieved at pub
lic expense.
"S T." says I w4ild designate or brand
them as paupers. In this he misrepresents
me, but I confess I Minuet see such odium in
- the term as he pretrinds to belong to it. I
never before supposed that it was such a hor
rible disgrace to be poor and unable to sup
port ono's self as "S. T." pretends ; and if
one is too poor to support himself, I can't see
the disgrace of being relieved from the com
mon fund set apart fur the relief of the poor.
Certainly those whose husbands are so negli
gent of them as to rend them no part of their
pay, would be no better off if these same hus
bands were at home—likely worsp, as,. they
would have such husbands to support; and I
can see no great impropriety of supporting
iinch as other honest and worthy poor aro sup
ported. lam sore as good people as either
"S. T." or myself, have been so unfortunate
as to become a public, charge, and supported as
such. As to "S. T'e" silly flings at me about
patriotism, it ill-becomes him to reflect on me,
who, during the - last summer, did more to
raise voluntary contributions for soldiers and
their families than "S. T." did in all his
time. If he had tiro dearly beloved sons in
the face of the enemy, he would know and
feel, and might talk about patriotism.

PHILADELPHIA, May o.—The inquirer's cor
respondent says: President Lincoln is de
lighted beyond tusesore with the flood of good
news that has poured in from every quarter.
No better proof con be had of the certainty
that the rebellion will soon be at an end than
the expressions of the diplomatic corps. The
foreign ministers are perfectly satisfied with
the circular just issued by Secretary Seward,
promising the early opening of the cotton
ports, and they arc unanimous in the opinion
that the; evacuation of Yorktown is-conclusive
evidence of the weakness of the cause of Se
cession, which ra now only kept alive by a
"despotic use of power !nom oppressive than
any tyranny
that ever disfigured history.
The French intervention story, originally
started by the secessionists through the New
York Herald, was again revived in Washing
ton yesterday. The sudden dopartsro of the
Froneh Minister for Yorktown no doubtgave
rise to it.
The Press correspondent nays - the passage
of our army through Yorktown was a grand
spectacle, and occupied many hours. Gen.
McClellan is as active, confident and vigilant
as ever, and performs more drudgery than any
of his privates, lie shares alike the labors
and the confidence of his army, and with it

The Tribune says that were a vote to Es
taken on Trumbull 's Confiscation Bill as it
stands in the Senate, it would probably be de
feated. Senators Cows and Foster declared
themselves against it to-day.
The Senate Finance Committee will not re
port the Tax bill till Wednesday. After a mu
tual comparison of views all sides have con
cluded to make no changes in thh bill in the
Committee room, with the understanding that
each member shall he at liberty to urge his in
dividual views in the Senate. One considera
tion which led-atone who desire a bill materi
ally different from the House bill to favor this
course, was that its adoption by the Commit
tee would carry less weight with the House,
and be more likely to result in entire disagree
ment, and, perhaps, in the failure of any bill
than if adopted in open session, after a thor
ough discusstnn of the several measures pro
posed ; upon one thing all parties artideter
mined, that some tax bill shall be passed at
this session.

HEAVY LOSS ON. THE REBEL SIDE.
Two Hnndred Prisoners Captured
Brilliant Bayonet Charge
tEe., &a., be
ADVANCE NEAR WILLIAMS - BURG, Monday
evening, May s.—The war correspondent of
the Associated Press says:
When my dispatch was sent last evening,
the indications were that our troops would
occupy Williamsburg without much opposi
tion. The first indications of the enemy's
rear guard being reinforced was the fact of
their pressing our lines about eight o'clock in
the morning, showing a determination to ra
cist our advance. Sufficient reinforcements
had arrived during the night to enable our
Generals to act either on the offensive or de
fensive. About eight o'clock the enemy open
ed on our troops posted on the left, composed
of Gen. 'Hooker's Division, and other troops
of lleintzelman's corps. Tho action in this
vicinity was very heavy at times. The loss
in killed and wounded is not known, but it is
supposed to' be considerable on both sides.
The enemy was repulsed at all feints.
(len. Peet's brigade, stationed to the right
of Gen. Hooker's, soon after became engaged.
There the firing was very heavy for about two
hours, during which they handsomely . re
pulsed the enemy in a charge. Our loss here.
was about 30 killed and 75 wounded.
A brilliant victory was achieved about five
o'clock in the afternoon, by Gen. Hancock's
brigade, assisted by Kennedy's and Wheeler's
batteries. They had been ordered to the
right to feel the enemy, and, if possible, turn
their left wing. • Here they were met by Gun.
Earley's brigade, consisting of the sth North
Carolina and the 24th and 38th Virginia reg
iments, with a squadron of cavalry, who ad
vanced in lino of battle. Our troops, who
were quickly prepared to receive them, opened
a heavy fire on them. The enemy advanced
steadily to within ono hundred yards when
Oen. Hancock ordered a charge with the bay
onet, which was executed with the greatest
courage. They enemy's line broke. They
became panic stricken, and 'fled, leaving their
dead and wounded behind.
The rebels left upward of eighty dead and
forty wounded. We took nearly two hundred
prisoners!. Among the wounded were the Col
onel and Lieutenant Colonel of the sth North
Carolina regiment. Our loss was seventeen
killed and at out forty wounded. Among the
enemy's dead wore the bodies of _the Lieut.
Col. and Major of the24th Virginia regiment,
together with several other officers. Their
dead were buried by our troops, and their
wounded cared for.
The conduct of Gen. Hancock and his bri
gade, on this occasion, has excited universal
admiration.
A standard of colors behinging'io the cav
alry engaged, was captured and is now on its
way to Washington.
When tho news of Hancock's success became
known, a shout went up from tens of thou
sands of Union throats, that made the coun
try resound for miles around. Gen. Hancock
remained during the night in the works of the
enemy.
Gen. McClellan and staff arrived on the field
at fire o'clock, and immediately rode to the
front, where his presence among the troops
was most .joyfully hailed. lie immediately
assumed command in person.
The rain has poured in torrents all day.
The troops suffer much from exposure, but
none complain.
From information received from the pris
oners taken, the enemy will make a decisive
stand at Williamsburg, reinforcements hav
ing Leon arriving all day, and Gen. .1. C.
Johnson is iu command.
Jeff. Davis was in Richmond from last ac
counts.
The enemy's works are very formidable, and
extend across the peninsula, this side of
Williamsburg.
The operations of to-day are not yet
known. The whole army is in good spirits.
.W•sutsoros, May 11.—The boat to Cherry
Stone Inlet has arrived with dispatches for
the government.
The enemy are in strong force, and in
trenched near Williamsburg, intending to dis
puta the further passage of our troops there.
There has been some brisk fighting, in which
tien.llanceek's division had' taken two re
doubts, and repulsed Early's Brigade by a
brilliant bayonet charge. In this engagement
ten. Hancocks' forces are said to have killed
two rebel colonels, two lieutenants, and cap
tured 150 prisoners. Gen. McClellan oomph
tuents Gen. peacock's conduct. At the time
of sending the dispatches our Will was not
known, but it is supposed to be considerable
in proportion to the extent or the engagement,
the fighting was quite severe.
