sounds of the galloping lessoning, growing faint,
but not Blower, in the dietatice. The exc1...3
officer rode a ehort way after him, but eoon
turned and came back alone.
. _
Shortly after, having completed the dcstruc- •
Von of the still, they marched ie a body away
along the shore, in the direction rf , ho high ay
to the town, which passed nbcu thin: or four
miles distant.
As soon as we were satisfied our safuty, we
rowed ashore and landed. On gain to ti:e mill
we found everything broken or blirLt,
of -a tub - remaned entire. With heavy hearts we
left the place, embarked again, and reached the
quiet cove, a couple of miles down the shore;
here we drew our boat up on the beach beside
houses of some fishermen that we knew, and
went up the country towards the tower.
On reaching the ruin, what was our
to find OrmoniVe horse standing among the frag
ments of building, tied to a stone, and dripping
with p.respiraticn! A loud sound of eltereation
reached our ears from the inner part of the towor
and presently out rushed two or three of our
band, and immediately, with eager exultation,
informed us that Ormond's horse had borne
him to •the immediate viciuity, where it had
terminated its race by falling to the ground.
They had immediately secured both the horse
and its master, and the latter was new fast
in the vault below, where formerly car still had
been wrought.
When I heard this the blood pulled to my
head ; I grew dizzy ; I could hardly see my
heart beat with bursting force and rapidity ; I
could not speek ; I talt a strong impulse to drop
upon my knees and return thanks to some su
perior power—not e c.? Heaven, certainly—for de
livering him into oar hands.
Not so Quintal partly by hurried speech, part
ly by signs, ho gave them to understand the
total destruction of our stills at the Mill Hole,
and the active share in it of this our prisoner.
The old building echoed with cries of execration,
shouts of triumph, and for immediate vengariee.
There were eight, every one excited almost to
madness: but what was their joy, their fury, or
their thirst for vengeThice to mine ?
We had a hurried consultation how we should
proceed.
"Let me see him," cried I; "I..‘.it me be cure
of him. Bring him to lock me in the ft:co !"
Two of them immediately jumped into the
yank and pushed him up through the trap. 11'9
hands and feet had been tied, and, as they thrust
him up into the light, he struggled mu,:ir a-roll
the sharp edges of the stones. As his cud
cheat appeared through the aperture, and while
his eyes were yet blinded with - , the sudden
change from darkness to bright light Quin ruch
ed to him, and dashed his fist with his whole
force into his face. Ho fell back with a loud
cry upon these below, but he was again plashed
up, while the rest held Quin back. Ile was sot
upon his feet, and our boys dispersed from about
him.
As soon as ho so.:, try standing before him, his
fade, which had before been pale with fear, grew
actually greenish-yellow in color. He trembled
violently, his knees knocked together, r:nd 1.,;
staggered; presently a flow of blood hushed to
his face, and the red, mingling with the yeiiuw,
produced a livid, lurid hue, a satisfying, indica
tion of the thoughts that were passing in his
mind.
I stood and glared at hint with all the I=2ry
of triumphant animosity : then, going clos;. , to
"Now," I cried, "now you"—
[Hero the narrator case out with P. torrent of
most ghastly impr: , eations, altogether unsuitable
!pr any pages.]
"Now, whose hands are you in '2 Whose turn
is it now? What have you to t-spect ? How
have you served me ? Hearken, now, you
black : hearted Judas, that betrayed your master
—think over all that you have done to me, and
reflect that, with help from—, I will take the
full equivalent of it out of your body ! Before
another sun rises, you will L•: much:red ! I will
have revenge ! Do you know what that is ?"
In this way 1 continued to rave in his •ears,
till, in a parousm;of fear, he turned to the rust,
end, imploring compassion, ofilered taem rewards
and immunity from the law if they would seize
me andallow him to csccpc. But they laughed
at him. Then he tried to intimidate us, telling
us that, if any violence were offered him, we
should dearly pay the penalty ; but, finding
this to be of as little, avail, he dare to appeal
to me—to promise me a sum of roon-v and a
passage out of the country, if I would be his
friend, and intercede with my comrades for
him !
I was amazed.
"What!" cried I; "you have robbod me of
everything man ean have in this world—home,
rank, wealth, nud love. You are inhabiting my
house, spending my fortune, filliag my station
in society, paramour of my wife Yes, you
most villainous of traitors—you have driven me
to what lam ! You have scoffed at me, whip
ped me, persecuted me to death, for no cause;
and now. when I have you in my power, would
it not be sweet revenge to take a few pounds of
my own money, tied go away from you out of
the country '4"
He remained speechless, and again the yellow
tinge overspread hie face as we seized upon him,
and, stifling his vain screams for mercy and
- help, put him down once more into the vault,
and, laying a broad flat stone over the trap,
.heaped others upon it to malse r ur ce doubly
sure.
We then entered into a consultation together
with regard to his fa's. We were unanirricus in
'reselving on his death, and it was proposed to
toss up who should despatch him. This I imme
diately volunteered—they wouldelyjhear of
it, insisting that the danger should be equally
shared. But when I sued and prayed them to
consider my wrongs and grout ime. - this satisfac
tion—when I told them the story I have told you,
though many of them doubted that such things
could be, and considered mo at least exaggera
ting, yet my pleading as allowed, and it was
agreed that I should do the deed, while Quin of
fered to stand by me, in case he should rrovo
too much for one.

The Phew Blttttta Law
One of the acts of the Met LT . l.:l2.ture was to
pass a militia bill, which wo find put into the
following oonde,nsed form by the Reading Dean,
Its provisions require every able-bodied men,
between the ages of eighteen and forty five
years, with some specified exceptions, to be sub
ject to military duty. Ho is to provide himself
vrith,:thenecessary equipments under the penalty
of a fine of one dollar for non-performano-, if
a resident of the rural districts, and one dollar
and fifty cents if living in a city—the fund thus
raised to be appropriated to the support of the
" enlister' and equipped " militia men. The
militia enrolment is entirely dispensed with, and
all volunteijr companies parading, are allowed
for every person on parade each day, not ex
ceeding six times during the year, one dollar and
fifty cents per diem '6iit of the fund. In addition
to this, the commanding officer of a regiment
may order out the companies composing it for an
encampment parade, not exceeding-eix- days.
once during each year. The provisions are in
tended as inducements to young men who desire
to gain a knowledge of military duty, bat cannot
afford to lose the time which gratuitous parades
necessarily require. The new law will shit the
citizen soldiers very troll, and go far to increase
the military spirit throughout the State."

he new fledged editor of the J,:zrtal at
tempts satire, at the expense of the Post, in
his issue bf Tuesday. Ile evidently dislikes
our course in sustaining Mr :English's com
promise bill, now that it has passed, an hi
script,t, and talks about five-horse circus
riders, and the incongruous elements in the
7.,laelieth witches' caldron, both of which, he
inclines to thinly, we beat. Oa this question of
Kansas, the Post has distinctly taken its stand,
and has maintained it. Wo wished any measure
to be adopted which, without interfering with
well established Democratic doctrine, would
take the question out of notional pollt ice, and
this we have constantly advocated. As to be
ing the organ of anybody save and except. the
Democratic party, X7O modie!4ly decline ft'
honor. The organ of the Pr of•iden -that public
journal which authoritatively promulgates his
views and indicates hie policy—must 'lnes,
sarily be where the ['resident is ; tat the
Democratic journals of the country are not .
Mr. Buchanan's organs ; —they are, as they
profess to be, the organs of the party. We
claim no other position than that the Democ
racy may allot us.
The Journal was aware that the itish of
April, the day on which the Kansas bill passed,
was the anniversary of Washington's inaugu
ration. We congratulate its editor upon his
scholar-like knowledge of history, and we
regret that we cannot also congratulate him
upon the acuteness of his perceptive faculties.
Had the latter been as brilliant as the former
is correct, he would have learnefl, from the
course of the Post, that we have the highest
veneration and respect for Jarnesßu . chanan.
We think his mind is au intelligent, fordses..
ing and dliecting one, which jnayree of public
matters on broad, philosophical principles.
We dolliit compare him to Washingtoll,because
the events of the present age are so different
from those of the past, as to prevent a just
similitude ; but we believe his honesty of pur
pose and his pure patriotism are, in kind, like
that of the Father of his Country, whom he
has made his model, and whese qualities he
endeavors, as a statesman, to imitate.
The passage of Mr. English's bill, as an ins
itiatory measure to restore peace to the trous
bled political waters of the country, is a
matter for congratulation to every true lover
of the country. The Union-Republican-Whig-
Know-Nothing natty to which the editor of
the Journal belongs, has no desire to see polit
ical quiet and individual prosperity in Kan
sas or anywhere else. In discords only can it
hope to thrive.
The editor of the .hotrnal is scarce a week
old in the ranks of newsparerdom, end he
might immortalize himself if he could give his
mongrel party even a name. Its "incongruous
elements" have been boiling in the " Macbeth
caldron" for years, and the wierd call of all
the editorial wizards who have been entrust
ed with the not over agreeable duty of keep's
ing it "stirred up;" has not been potent enough
to enforce obedience to the gathering cry--

THE DARK Q.AN TiZ, " Tti BE
REVIVED.
Despairing of gathering their fairces again
by the cry of “Bleeding, Kansas," which the
Compromise Bill, passed on the 30th ci April.
has taken away from the nameless and un
nameable party which is arrayed in o position
to the national Democracy, the leaders of that
party are desperately searching around for
something,no matter what,to arouse their dis , ,
heartened forces, and, if possible, to make
them show aome little evidences of vitality.
Having no p.inciplea upon which to recon
struct their disorganized elements into some
thing which may pass for an independent e 2.4
istence, the indications are that the old game
of addressing their efforts to the prejudices
and excitable feelings of mankind, rather than
their judgments and understandings will be
resorted to. We shall not be in the least es,
tonished if our opponents in their desperate
strait should attempt to revive and UM for
another campaign the cabalistic, dark lantern ,
untruthful, anti republican, riotous and mur
derous schemes cf Know-Nothingism. W
had thought that the patriotism and common
sense of the masses had extinguished the vile
lamp's of pseudo-Amoricanism,—that the
great light of American liberty bad caused
these ignns fatuii lights to vanish into noth
ingness, but we find, yesterday, a couple of
articles, one in the Journal, and the other in
the Gazette, of this city, so precisely similar
in their tenor and tendency, that we are com
pelled to look upon their simultaneous appear_
ante as the result of consultation and design,
and not mere accident.
The oft discussed question of using the Bi-.
ble as a school book, is made the medium of
sounding the public mind as to its disposition
again to be swayed through a political cam
paign by the narrow minded prejudices which
originated the Know-Nothing party. The apu,
preach is made covertly , and gently, ler those
who make it, know that the people have not
yet forgotten the history of Native Ameri•
canism, written, as it has been, in riot and
bloodshed and death, but still the appeal is
distinctly made 'to the prejudices of religious
intolerance and nationality.
The question of the propriety or impropri
ety of using the Bible as a school book, it is
neither our province nor intention to argue ;
we do not object to our neighbors arguing it,
if it please them so to do, but we du ul - ject
t o their placing the question in ouch a point of
view as to excite the dangerous prejudices of
sectarianism and nationality, without our
claiming the right, as a political journal, of
warning those who truly regard the public
welfare, that for lack of a central power in
sound principles, the opponents of Democracy
are manifesting a readinses to resuscitate er
rors which have been proved to be in the high
est degree dangerous to the cause of tight, ins..
tico and social happiness.
We wish for no controversy on the Bible
question, but if another attempt is to bo made
by desperate politicians to galvanize Know-
Nothingism, we want to know it.

The.d arc Democratic nominations, arid these
who claim affinity with the Democratic party
mu-t rapport them as such. We do not, as
the argument of the Union would seem to in
dicate that it understadds us, cleim that Dems
carats have a right to disclaim and disallow
the acknowledged principles of the party.
Far from it. We only claim that the Conven.
tion—a Mate one, be it remembered—which
assembled at lla•risburg, was not competent
authority to insert any plank in the National
Democratic platform, and that while the
Democracy is bound to vote the State ticket
which NVSS made by competent Democratic
authority they may take either side, for or
gs.inst the, cloctrnas of the resolutions, or
no side at all, as each individual Democrat
may please. The question whiehcalledforth

tativs of the peino'keipi at) Harrisburg is
now satisfactorily and legally , put at:mit by
thd paJsitka'Of the Compromise'Bill. ought

we balioWit will not. Dvery Democrat should
1e satisfied to obey the law:. The fundamental
idea cf party orgadizittion is, that after the
majority have'', collectively agreed ripen a
policy, each individual is called upon to adopt
it, to act for it, anti to argue for it, as if he sine
cerely approved it, even though he dissuaded
it previously, as in his individual capacity he
had an undoubted right to do. If 'the indi
viduals' ct a party refuse to yield to the ex
prtsse'd will of the majority, there can exist no
such thing as party organization for it is im
possible for all men to think alike. Hence,
we say, that while the Harrisburg. Conven
tiorVhad 'the perfect right to express their
views noon the Kansas issue while the ques
tion was pending, that they were not 'ems
powered to decide it for the Democracy one
or-the other. The Convention gave the
weight of iis influence in support of the Ad..
ministration ; this was eminently proper and
Democratically right—but we look upon its
action as simply a declaration of opinion, en
titled to grave consideration, as :coming from
a State Democratic Convention, but not bind.
ing as a declaration of party principles: The
decision of the question bythe highest au
thority in the land—Congress and the Presis
dent—all Democratic—now renders it ins
cumbent upon the Democracy to support that
decision in accordance with the fundamental
rule, that the expressed will of the majority
is. Democratic law. We obj act to no action
which the Harrisburg Cony ention took—we
call upon every Democrat in the State to sup'
port the ticket which that Convention has
nominated. He who refuse& .For the time be.
ing, must admit he is not acting as a Demo
crat should act, but those wlao support the
ticket this fall, are to do it as national Demo
crats, as friends of Democratic men and Dem
()cretin measures.
The single issue upoa which Democrats
may have differed, is now a question settled.
It should no longer form an element of debate
in the Democratic political (nil inization. Let
evtry Democrat, vote the ticket,:, and let Kan
ass, which now has the power to do it granted
her by Congress, settle her own affairs. She
has a constitution to decide upon,—we a Su

acquaintance with the political history and

The speaker is an eloquent and learned man,
and his lecture, based npon that which he

Marriage with a Decease d Wife's Sister
The question of the legality of marriage
with a deceased wife's sistor has, in conse.
quenco of the decision of Justice Oresswell,
and more recently of that of the Vice-Chan..
caller in the case of Brook vs. Brook, given
rise to considerable discussion in England. The
opinion of the latter judge fully sustains that
of his brother on the bench, and it May now
be considered settled that a marriage between
a man and his deceased wife's aister, both be
ing British subjects, performing in a foreign
country, the laws of which recognize such
niarringc9, is null and invalid according , to the
law of England.
Against the severity of this decision an
earnest protest has been in ade a t the annual
meetings of the Protestant dissenting ministers
of the Presbyterian, Indepen dent and Baptist
denominations, residing in a rid about London,
who adopted a aeries of resolutions declaring
that the marriage of a man - with tie sister of
deceased wife is not forbidde it by divine law,
and ought not to be forbidden by human law ;
that tha pressure of the E mglish law which
declares such marriages in valid is much ag
gravated by the opinion of M Justice Urees
well, to the zfiect that such m arriages, although
performed in a country wher a they are lawful
are not consequently in this( ;orintry and that
as this deeision affects many marriages already

L'.tar: lon may have perceived of late, that
'n orcry lasgo city of the Union, and in many
trot so p , ,-/alotH ir flourishing as Pittsburgh, the
f—ple era makirsz groat and successful efforts to se
cure to thair growing populations some healthful
hrct in Tiacas fur public squares or parks. A
spars of this kind, say of twenty acres, should be
n.,;-irdel as an absolute necessity, to this city,
atoro than any 001,r place known among men—and
although the suljec: has bean neglected, it is not yet
too late, iind a nark may be had for our citizens at a
cheap rata, if the proper steps are cow taken by the
city authorities.
Allegheny City has already secured to her this
blessing—her noble projectors profited by the over
sight of her neighbor, and time will show the advan
tages in the addition of thousands to her population
and prosperity. But, fortunately, at this time there
are a number of citizens—those to whom we aro in
debted in outlay of capital in fine residences and
manufactories—who aro ready to second this move
ment—but as usual, Mr. Editor, they await the press
to take the lead to make it a certain success.
A number of years ago the beautiful ground back
of the Tustin property, on the Fourth street road, was
almost secured as a present to the e;ty by a number
of gentlemen who would have made up the sum from
their private purses, but the city authorities wore
slow to act, and the enterprise was checked.
Th a,tontion of editors is called to these sugges.
tions, and they era thought as most certain to happen
hereafter as fired results. Unless Pittsburgh gets
some wonderful backset, every street in the small
closely packed area which comprises the old four or
five wards of the city, will become before many years
the strictly commercial - and manufacturing part of
the city. The residences of her citizens will of course
be forced to some distance from this point.
I see by McGowin's map that several squares are
laid out in the city district plan, and will soon be
come occupied as public ground. But they are all
situated toward the Allegheny or Northern side of
our city, and this portion of the District, has since
been traversed by railroads. There is, however, and
always will be, a quiet spot, unt ached by these use
ful but noisy adjuncts of busy life, in the valley of
Pitt township.
This beautiful, high, and level ground on the Penn
sylvsmia Avenue, s r the Fourth Street Road, beyond
I the city, the very spot for a public park, seems to
have bee% overlooked in the project of the new city

highly ornate part of our suburbs. Measures should
be taken to secure a portion of the ground indicated
at once, and I am told that authority could be ob.
twined readily by our city authorities from the Leg.

them to th 2 public in such a manner as to make them known
throughoti the country. This learned physician felt the
same repugnance that all high minded men of science feel
in entering the lists against those unscrupulous crupirics
who of trade their useless nostrums upon the public, and
rely uyon a system of puffing to sustain them. Convinced.
however. cf the real value of the Liver Pills, and influenced
by the plain dictates of duty, the Doctor finally authorized
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., who are now thesole pro
prietors, to manufacture and place thorn before the public.
This great medicine has nut disappointed the expectations
of his friends, the medical faculty, at whose instance he was
induced to place them before the public in their present
popular form. From every quarter do we hear the most
gratifying accounts of their wonderful curative effects—the
East and the West, the North and the South, are alike laden
with " tidings of great joy " from the afflicted. These won

action took p'ace in Console yesterday, owing ex

that the bank rata would be reduced to 2§ per cent.
The unsettled position of the government, and the
possible dissolution of the Derby Ministry in case
f the defeat of the Indian bill, also acted unfavor
ably. The Herald, however, says that the opposi
