The original came of Va utlla Campanile was changed-to Via della Morta to commemorate the re euscitation of the beautiful (iicovra, who, haviDg scaped from the tomb, waudcrcd through the streets by riht, eeekicf- that shelter which tho terrors cf euperotitioti lonicd her. Thcstory of Gincvra; even more thril ling and rotnantio than, that of-Ii-omeo and Juliet, can hardly be called a tradition or legend. It is", beyond question, a truo history, and has been chronicled by vari ous reliable Italian historians.' " Toward the close of tha fourteenth century, the young Antouia lloudinelii became enamored of Giuc-vri Alaiiera, a lady of high lineage. Count Bernardo, the father of Giscvra, a stern, hard, grasping man, was at variance with the Rondinelli family. The youthful Gi uevra warmly responded to the passion which her charming person and lovely character had kindled ; and, notwithstan ding the division betwe-m the families, the trusting lovers basked in the delicious hope that they would be one day linked together in closest ties. . Antonio bought Bernardo,' and, in spite cf a frigid and frowning receptionboldly avowed liU aflectioa for Ginevra, and prayed that the diicord between ; their houses might be melted into harmony by her fair hand clasped before the altar in his. The father repulsed him rudely, and forbade . all intercourse between the lovers. Then Giuevra, gaining courage through her dismay, rwent to her, father and implored him to hear her, told him of her love for Antonia, and besought him not to separate them. Her fatber turned an obdurate ear to her pleadings, and drove her from his presence. Ginevra inouroed and piDed for her banished lover without attempting to disguise her Kor row. Coum Bernardo augured from this open grief that she cherished a hope that he would be moved to revoke the sentence of separation. I Ta dispel such; an. illusion, he determined to give her in marriage without delay. '. : Francesco Agolanti was one or the most opulent men in Florence. . 'From certain facts related by historians, however, it may be interred he was a3 miserly aa he was wealthy. He, too, sought the hand of Ginevra j but she, fur from listening to I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT THAN PRESIDENT. Hkkry Clay. 'pBENSBTJRGPTmUDAT. MARCH his wooing, turned from him with uncon cealed aversion. But this did not pre vent Agolanti demanding her hand of her father, who promised it willingly.. When her approaching betrothal" was announced to Giuevra, 6he made resolute resistance, , and conjured her imperious father. not to add this new affliction to the on6 which had already bereft her of her happiness. His reply was to hasten the preparations for her' nuptials. "When Ginevra found her struggles fruitless, she fell into a state of deep dejection and list less apathy. She no longer seemed to tiotico.. what passed around her, and was led to the altar unresistingly, as though her faculties had become torpid as if she was no longer capable even of the sensation of pain. After her marriage, this inert and pas sive condition became confirmed. She moved about like a being whose soul was absent, and went through the ordinary routine of life mechanically, almost un consciously. She seldom spoke and never smiled. Soon, she was attacked by an hysterical affection, which induced long swoons of frequent occurrence. The physician who attended her pronounced her disease consumption. At the end of four years, she one day fell into a swoon, from which all. efforts to revive her proved ineffectual. The medical men, after having exhausted their skill to that end without result, declared her dead. At sunset on the evening of the same day, she was carried with great pomp, upon an open funeral car, to the family vault of Agolanti, in the cemetery of the cathedral. Here, according to custom, her fair body wa3 laid upon a shelf among the mouldering skeletons of her husband's ancestors. The month was October. The moon was shining brightly that night. The stone placed at the mouth of the tomb had not been re-cemented. The masons were to perform the work on the morrow. Through the aperture left by the loosened and ill-fitting stone, the moonlight streamed in and lighted up the dismal vault. Giuevra from her long swoon had sunk into a deep trunce, but life was not ex tinct. In the middle of the night, she feebly stirred, end slowly recovered conscious ness.: . At first, in her .half awakened btatej she thought herself oppressed by a frightful dreaoi. But, as her penacs fully returned, she eat? the hkeietcu forms with which she was holiicgconipanionship,and attempted to start up, but fell back powerlcs, and in great eflr'ght, for she now discovered that her hands and feet were bound. Then fur the first time she beheld the grave clothes in which she. was attired, and knew by iheui and her bandaged feet atid hands that she must have been sup posed to be dead and had been buried. Fear lent her. pew strength, and, aftr mauy despairing, efforts, she succeeded in Ioo-enicg the bandages, and disentangled hereelf from the swathing iulda of her long shroud. She stood up, trembling a::d appalled. But, guided by tho moon light, she staggered lo tho five step" before the entrance and crept up to the stone which barred her exit. To remove it with those delicate and feeble hands seemed impossible; but at such uiomentf the frailest, natures are. endowed with superhuman strength. Alter several fu tile attempts, which with every failure increased her horror, the stone was rolled over, and she stood in the moonlight-, iu the open cemetery, freed saved from a living tomb, probably from a death of maddening terror. With feeble st?ps she hurried through the streets, her long shroud trailing on the ground, her white drapery floating around her, and her ghastly face looking unearthly in the moonlight. She -was seeking her home -the home from which she had that evening been borne a corpse ; what wonder that the midnight stragglers who met her thought that they saw au apparition, and fljd affrighted. - ' - ' At last she reached Francesco Agolan tiV house, and, knocking, sank upon the threshold, crying out to her husband to admit her quickly, The window of Aoluti's chamber opened upon a balcony which commanded the front entrance. lie heard the knock and thft pleading cry, and hastened to the balcjny. Gi nevra looked up and called to him with a feeble, imploring voice. .He recognized the grave-shrouded form, the white face, the plaintive tones, and was seized with frantic alarm, for he believed himself visited by the ghost of his buried wife. Makinir the sigu of the'eross repeatedly, and with great rapidity and vehemence, he.1 bade her depart and leave him in peace, promising that' abundant masses should be said for the rest of her soul. Ginevra, in an cgooizea voice, replied that she lived, and entreated to be admit ted. Her husband, more terrified than ever rushed into his chamber, closed the window, e prate into bed, and covered his head with the bed-clothes to shut out the terrible isoum! of that low, piteous plaint," reciting his prayers1 until all was silent again. The hapleps Ginevra rose from the ground with difficulty, and with tottering steps dragged herself to the door of her father's house. - Again she knocked," and prayed to be allowed to come in ; but when her summons roused the domestics, and her father himself, she wa3 again mista ken for an apparition, the door was closed upon her, and her father and his servants retreated in alarm. Ginevra lay upon the cold steps almost insensible, and in despair. All who .saw her fled terror-stricken from herprescuce. She had returned from the grave, and no one would grant her earthly shelter. .No one? Was there not one who would grant her earthly shelter? No one? Was there not one who would never bid her depart, even should he imagine that she had come to him as a spirit ? With that thought she once more struggled to her feet and made her toilsome way through the deserted street fitha house where dwelt Antonio Iton dinelli. Antonio still loved her with unabated ardor, and had taken a vow to be constant to her memory, and never to marry. The tidings of her death had reached him, and he had not sought hi3 couch that night. He was sitting, weeping and thinking of his doubly lost Ginevra. Her strength was so far exhausted that she could knock only very feebly; but Antonia heard the sound, and, passing out on his balcony, saw the grave-clad figure and the upturned, colorless face of Ginevra. She faintly murmured his name He, too, believed it to be a spirit but it was the spirit of hU beloved, and the sight and sound filled him with transport. Quiokly and joyfully he descended, and throwing open the entrance door, ho stoop ed and raised the cold, shrouded form that lay prostrate at his feet. What painter could picture his amazement and ecstasy ! Ginevra lived and was restored to him 1 lie summoned his mother, with whom he resided, and assembled his family to rejoice with him, and to listen to Ginev ra's tale. Then Antonio bound them all by an oath to silence, and sent a faithful servant to replace the stone upon the opening of the vault, and to remove every trace of the fugitive's footsteps. Meantime, the exhausted Ginevra, now indeed almost dying from the uegleet and hardships she had ecdured, was laid in a warm bed, and was tenderly ministered to by the mother of Antonio. For four days, Ginevra's life geemed like a flicker ing candle, which a breath might extin guish. On the fifth day, she gradually revived, and before long was able to rise and hold converse. She pondered deeply and sadly upon the only honorable course thai was left to her, and at last, with gentle firmness, announced to Antonia that, as she could never return to her brulal husbar.d'a pro tection, she felt hersulf compelled to cu ter a convent. Antonio, hurled from the summit of his sudden happiness into an abyss of despair, implored her to revoke this ciucl decision :cruel uot tj him only, but to her H:lf. He brought forward manifold ar guments to convince her that the tie which bound her to Agolanti was dissolv ed by a death and burial which all the world believed to be real, and entreated her to become the-wife of one who had never loved but her, and had claimed her for his own before she was sold to Ago lanti. His mother and family joined their prayers to his, and Giuevra, iisteiiioe to them, and to the pleadiogs ot her own heart, slowly conseutei. It is recorded thst Antonia and Ginevra were privately united by the public nota ry, who was bound to aecresy. Meautime, all Florence was listening to descriptions of the ghost of Ginevra, which so many persons had beheld pas sing through the streets, and which her husband testified had appeared to him, while her father declared it had al.-io vis ited his door. The two families ordered a bountiful number of masses to be said for the iepose of the unquiet spirit. Agolanti now offered the jewels and wardrobe of Giaevra for sale. His great wealth did not prevent his evincing this lack of reverence for, her memory, im pelled as he was by a sordid love of gaiu. Rondinelli, as soon g a he heard of the proposed barter, hastened to the residence of Agolanti and purchased every article his newly-made wife had possessed, pay ing the most extravagant prices, to pre veut the smallest object which bad been cousecrated by her us.e from passing into the bauds of srraogers. For some months, Ginevra lived in entire seclusion, her existence unknown to any but her husband's family and a few trustworthy, domestics. But neither she nor her husband was satisfied with this mode of life, llondinelli saw no reasou why he should not appear before the world as the proud husband cf so fair and be loved a wife. Ginevra, too, detested the constant-stratagems to which they were obliged to resort, and resolved to go forth boldly into society. In the revivifying atmosphere of calm happiness and satis fied love, she had risen out of the passive inertness which bad paralyzed her facul ties during the four miserable years which she had passed under the roof of Agolan ti, and her character reassumed its genu ine traits. Frank, urdeut, and confident, hating dissimulation, aud: haviug firm faith that the etep she had taken wai fully justified," she exhibited neither faar nor hesitation, and was ready to bravo the ordeal of public opinion. 14, 1807. ,; Accordingly, one morning, Antonia and Ginevra were seen in the streets of Florence. Ginevra was leaning on her husband's arm, his sister accompanying them, and a servant following. They encountered friends, whose amazement rendered them almost speechless. But Ginevra, whenever she saw she was rec ognized, paused and courteously addressed her former acquaintances. She told them that her husband had not only hastily buried her alive, without the proper in vestigation, but that when she sought his door and that of her father, after resusci tation, she had been rejected by both; and it was not the fault of husband, fath er, physician, or priest that she was not in reality dead, for dead she must shortly have been but for him who stood beside her, who opened his door and hi3 heart to receive her, whether she came in fle6h or spirit and therefore it was to him her life belonged, and to him it bad been con secrated. France3CO Agolanti soon heard of his wife'B reappearance, of her defiaut words and her new marriage. Finding that the tale was true, he made an appeal to tho courts of justice, to induce them to restore Giuevra to him, her rightful husband. Ginevra and -Antonia were summoned to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court, over which the Archbishop presided. The excitement ran high throughout Florence, and the Court was surrounded by an indignant populace, who denounced Agolanti and Bernardo, and openly de clared their sympathy for Antonio and Ginevra. Before the tribunal, Ginevra told her tale bravely and with great feel ing, and made known her determination to resist her former husband's efforts to reslaim her, after he bad twice placed her life in peril, had shut her up in the grave, and had closed his doors against her; adding that it she should be separa ted from Antonio, she would take refuge from Agolanti in a convent. The cause was ably argued on both sides. But the judges, in those times, hardly dared to gainsay the outspoken verdict of the many-mouthed public, which was apt to decide for theia what was jus tice, and to enforce that justice, when not summarily dealt out, by - riot and bloodshed. The decision given will seem almost incredible in our days. The marriage between Agolanti and Ginevra was de clared null and void, through htr sup posed death and nctukl burial ; and the court decided that she was free to form other tie3 according to her good pleasure, and that the ties she had contracted were legal ; and that she was now the lawful wife of Antonio llondinelli! Drawing Seals iu Congress. The members of the new House of Rep resentatives, on the 5'.h inat., drew for seats lor the session. The fcight was a novel one. All the members were obli ged to go outside the range of seats and stand until the ceremony had been per formed. Each member's name was writ ten upon a ilip ot paper, and the slips placed in a box on the Clerk's desk. A pugs was blindfolded, and drew forth the names. When a member's name was drawn, the Clerk called it out, and the member took his choice of a seat. Thad. Stevens, Elihu B. Wadhhurne aud Gov. Thomas were, by unanimous consent of the House, allowed to retain their old seats. The first name called was that of Fernando C Bearnan. He was congrat ulated on his good fortune. Judge Spsl diug's name was the fourth culled, and, having heretofore had a seat on the Dem ocratic side of the House, much laughter was excited when he took up his trap pings and selected a seat on the Repub lican side. Kelley was the next called, and be took Morrill's old seat, behind Stevens. Butler was next, and he took a seat next Kelley. Strangely enough, a uuuiber ot the most prominent Radical members got seats together. Stevens, Butler, Shellaberger, Kelley, Allison, Wilson of Iowa, Schenck, Williams of Pa., Garfield, Ashley, Woodbridgej and Sidney Clarke are all together iu a trian gle. When the call had proceeded about an hour, those whoe names had not been called commenced to grow restless aud to despair of getting good seats. This was especially &o with the Republican mem bers, who, seeing all tho seats, on the Re publican side occupied, felt chagrined at being compelled to take seats with the Democrats. Among these unfortunate Radicals who had to "rake up" with Jim Brooks, Fernando Wood, John Morris sey & Co., were Gen. Logan, Ben Loan, Gen. Faine, Gen. Farnesworth, Bingham, Poland, Ames, Welker, Egglestou, Ward, Griswold, Baldwin, Price, aud moat of the Missouri members.. The new inembcie that are to come are rather meanly served, aud, having no choice, will be compelled to take back seats. On the wbolo, the scene was exciting aud amusing, 'reminding one of the first day' at the begiouing oi a new term of a country school. Mayor M'Michael haa ordered a census to be taken cf all the children in Philadelphia between the ages of C and 18 years, without regard to color, in order to show the number of eaeh age that at tend school. 12.00 IX ADTAXGK.

Haruisbukq, Feb. 22, 1867. " New Anecuotes of Mr. Livcolx.

"Billy," ' he said, "I hope there will be no trouble, but I will make the South a graveyard rather than see a alavery gospel triumph, or successful secession lose this Govern ment to the cause of the people and rep resentative institutions." To th"i3 Mr. Herndon added, "Mr. Lincoln wa? merci less, in the abstract. Battles never moved him unless he rode among the corpses.
