THial ii~avxt a 1 S. AN INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE. During that disastrous period of Napoleon's ca reer,' known arithe 'Hundred Days,' a portion of the Province of Morbihan in Il f ittany rose in arms, and a battle took place near Auray, between the Insurgents and certain skirmishing parties, who Were usually- designated a. the 'Blues.'..• The af fair was so minute a spark of civil. war, that it do , served 'ld mention in history; yet it cost the lives cf admit hundreds of men, ribose blood was poured Out iiiu; water in the trenches of the deep and sunk en traverse that pecilitti country, It Was in thheo trenches that the most of the bodies Were found, and the magistrate whose duty it was in clear the field battle after the fight, exclaitned, with n sort Of barbaroUS naivette, that it looked like • the' enil.of•a harvest frolic, whore the men were cleePing off their drUnkennesi. • • • . kin .the second day after the batils;l:st at the grey of the morning, a young &want girl, with her Sickle on her arm, took her way to her usual daily labor in the fields, As ebb Pic 'tecletl along the road, she looked curiously around upon the trees pierced with bullet., the hedges torn and broken, and the ground beaten and trampled as by many feet. For a great distance, the road was lit erally strewn with buttons, bits of braided worsted, the remains of epaulettes, cartouch boxes, fragments of Breton cape, pierced by balls or bayonets, splash es of half-congealed blood, and all the horrible in dications of a fierce and recent conflict. But the bodies of the slain had already disappeared. Du ring the night the peasants had given them Chris tian burial, and the women had traversed the bat tle -ground with sacks upon their shoulders, alter nately despoiling a dead enemy, and offering up prayers, for a lest friend.—Much rich booty had been obtained, and, to judge by the pre-occupied manner of the peasant girl, as she now scrutinized the thickets on both aides of the road, she was not without expectation of gleaning sante remnants of the, plunder. , But her hopes seemed to gi.ore fainter as she proceeded; and as she reached a wide marsh, over grown with thick brushwood, she quickened her pace, when she was startled by sudden move- Mont among rushes that bordered the morass. A l mcet at the come instant the clashing of iron struck upon her ear, the point of a bayonet appeared glit tering in the foliage, and a blood-stained figure fee bly and painfully dragged itself forth from its lurk ing place in the marsh. The girl. suddenly "loop ed; she uttered not the slightest sOtirid, but she held with a firmer grasp the handle of her sickle. The imploring gestures ef the wounded man, together with a few words which he uttered in the language of the country,.eetiled td excite her interest, and she approached ti few skis towards dihir. He had by this time succeeded, by the aid of bia gun, in rising to his knee, and the girl discovered by his blUe jacket and the device of his buttons, that ho belonged to one of those companies of marines who had fought so valiantly at the battle of Auray. As she paused with an air of indecision, the wounded man entreated her to approach, and in order to in ure her that he had no power, even if ho possessed the will to molest her, showed her that his leg wu 'broken by a musket ball. Emboldened by this, the girl advanced nosier, and derrianded what he de sired of her. 'Where are my comrades, the bluesl' was his first question. 'They are gone.' 'Gone! since whenV • 'They went yesterday.' 'lmpossible! why surely we were victorious.' • The girl made no reply, but stood silent and un moveable as if she hod not comprehended his ques tion. She had already deceived him, for his com rades were still at Auray, and now to all his re newed questions, she replied in such a manner es •to make him believe that he was abandoned with out hope of succor from his companions.—The poor fellow had been wounded at the close of the dayovhde pursuing the Chovans, and had passed the night in the morass, suffering the most excru ciating pain, and only sustained by the hope that some lucky chance might discover his condition to his comrades. The news of their departure almost drove' him to despair. He had no strength to fol low them, and he dared not show himself in open day, lest he should be assassinated by the hostile peasantry. His only hope now rested on the girl. lie was a native of her own privince; his father and hrothorawere fisnermen of Locmuariaquer, only a few leagues distant, an& they could save him if in folioed of his danger. . He conjured her, therefore, to seek them; ho. employed supplication., tears, even menaces, but she was insensible to all. While he was talking with her, she remained standing at a little distance, with her tVed greedily searching for eomethind she might appropriate, until they ac cidently fell upon the poor sailor at her feet. That look discovered to her a prize. Eagerly approach ing hint, she said in a low hoarse whisper— 'lf you would have me to go to Locmariaquer, you must give me your watch.'• As she spoke she seized the chain, but the wounded man, throwing himself back, and repulsing her with all his re maining strength, cried, 'Not now, riot now: when you return with my father, you shall have the watch and the money' 'Have you money, too?' asked the girl. 'Yes, it shall be all yours when— 'Where is the money?' have, it safe.' 'Show it to tne.' 'Proiaise, then, to save me.' 'Show me the money.' The poor fellow drew towards him the knapsack which he h..' , •oet. aver it.. while his sr.* sands began slowly to loosen tha buckles that closed it. The girl made one step backwards, to give force to her blow, and the next instant the sickle descen ded upon his head with a force that clove him to the brain. • The victim never breathed again,—he stretched out hie arms, and felt heavily forward, tvith his face resting on the -knapsack: Thb dorm only waited . tobe :sure that life 7108 extinct, then deliberately despoilinghnii of his watch, mo ney; and clothing; she quietly washed the 'stains Of blood from her hands and feet in the pool beside her,rind wenton to her daily labor in the field. Ort:lter• return home at night she displaped her Price to her friends, simply remarking that she had been lucky enough to find the body of a Blue in her way—an explanation quite satisfactory at a mo ment when such chances were frequent in a coon ' try filled with commotion. • • On that same evening, however; the body of the unfortunate soldier was found and recognized by his family: Several circumstances conjoined to throw suspicion on the girl, and ere many days had elapsed no doubt remainerdof her guilt. The mur dered marine Wain' conscript, ono of that numerous class of young men who were compelled in those days to endure an opinion along with a uniform, and to wear the cockade •of the• government party, whatever that party might happen to be.. A native of Brittany, lie hadlien forcibly enrolled at Brest, cnd when Hie regiment was sent into the interior of the country, he was necessarily crinipellad to combat on his native soil, and against his own peo ple. This peculiar position . was well understood by the peasants, for it had .been the' • fate of many of their children, and the death' of the' youth was lamented therefore like that of a friend. This sympathy for the victim was of course ac companied by the deepest indignation against the murderess. There seemed such double-eyed wick edness in the deed, that every heart was revolted by it. Ho had fallen by the hand of a woman, while he was appealing to womanly tenderness, and the meanness of the motive seemed to add a deeper guilt to the heinous crime. As it always happens in those generous re-actions of feeling, when party spirit is suddenly quelled for a moment by the voice of equity, the people seemed as if they could scarcely express their indignation with eufficient force. As the laws either could not, or would not punish the criminal, public opinion took upon itself the task.—The girl was driven out of the community, and avoided by all, as if the taint of leprosy was upon her. No farmer would employ her to labor in his fields; no prdprietor would rent her a cabin on his domain. Her only refugo was the church perch, where she crouched like an ac cursed thing at the door of the sanctuary, she dared not enter. Every one shrank aside es her ahtidow fell upon them in her aimless wanderings. If she approached the fountain, whence the village drew its supply of *eta, the women usually assembled there would instantly hush their idle gossip, snatch up their half-filled pitchers, and hurry away, ex claiming."make room for the murderess!" To set the final seal to her public reprobation, a ballad was composed, setting forth her horrid crime in all the coarse but graphic language of popular poetry. Wherever the unhappy creature ventured to appear, alts heard the tone of this vengeful song. Her punishment wee no* no longer the ordinary penalty of crime, having its limit of time and place, and demanding only the liberty or the life of the offender... Her. guilt, by this neW species of retri bution, had become public property, its punishment was identified with the most durable memerials cf public morals and manners, It was not recorded in the dusty volumes of the law, but it was hint abroad on the wings of music and poetry, to reach evry ear, and to turn from her every heart. The mark of Cain was upon her Wow; her fellow-beings were her tormenters, withholding their hands from her life, yet inflicting a daily death upon her by their loathing and scorn. In vain nee sought- to fly from-the scene of her guilt. Her crime 'teemed bornemn the very winds of heaven, and wherever the voice of the shepherd broke the stillness of na- ture, there resounded the frightful burden of that avenging song. • • Once, as she wandered away from human seer::, she beheld in a meadow, at some distance from Auray, a child at play among the daisies.—A sud den yearning filled her heart; she approached the merry boy, and seated herself beside him. For more than a year the desolate creature had not touched a human hand, or' listened to the sound of a kindly human voice, and she now found a mo ment of inexpressible happiness in the innocent caresses of the hoppy child. Too joyous to know any thing of fear, he nes tled beside her, glad to find a companion in his sports, while she, pressing him to her bosom, amused him, after the manner of a tender mother, by tales and songs. The child had listened with delight, but when she had finished he looked in her face, as if, in his simplicity, he sought to repay her kindness, ho said— :. !My father taught me a prettier song than yours;' end he began to sing— , 0h lleten, lihriitian neighbors, to a crime of' deep estinte, Mario Marker with her sickle has killed the wound ed Me. At these terrible words the unhappy girl uttered a wild cry, and dropping the unconscious- , child fremler knee, fled like a hunted-wild beast into the Woods. It was the final blow of the unseen avengers—her punishment was greater than she could bear, and from that hour Marie became a hopeless maniac: • When t first 'dery her (le had been: acme yenta in this state, and I exalt never forget ler singular appearance. She was d large. robUst zit/ of 24, with a remarkable squareness of outlin2, and a cer tain riedity of motion; that rambled the awkward movements elan ill joined wooden figure. There was.no play cf muscles visible, no tracery of veins discoverable beneath the tanned and swarthy skin. She reminded me cf those stone images of the vir gin which stand in the niches of consecrated foun tains--coarse and ill-carved statues, from which art has been unable to remove more than halt the veiling granite, and which leave you in doubt whether they are specimens of imperfect human skill, or simply rude stones, which @me freak of nature has stamped with a half developed reeern blenee to htimanity. Upon a nearer view, the' 'countenance of the murderess had a singularly austere and sinister ex invasion. It Was a face very singular in its con tour, and literally seamed with cross lines, which disturbed and offended the gazer's eye, while in her wild and wandering look there shone out a frightful degree of cunning ferocity. She herein every feature.the stamp of that bastard Celtic race, in whoM primitive qualities have degenerated into corresponding • vices. She rareli replied to any questions that might be addressed to her, and gen erally Seethed ds strong in soul as in body, but ifs sitigle word of that frightful song reached her ears, then, as if:truck by, some galvanic power, the coarse statue started into life, and became once more suf fering humanity. She would utter terrible cries; toss her drins,,writhe her body in..tha most terrible contortions, turn suddenly, spring up, would fly with the utmost speed, repeating as she ran the ac cursing couplets of the dreaded song, while as her voice rope louder and louder upon the air the avenging words seemed to take fiercer and stringer hold upon her distracted feelings. It seemed as if remorse was incarnate in that hideous form; or rather, that two beings were in: closed in that rigid frame, on ono of whom had been imposed the task of torturing the other, and that the outraged conscience, was forever giving chase to thesinful soul. Every feature, every ges ture expressed the emotions of this double charac ter—the avenger and the victim. By turns she wept, and denounced vengeance. It was a specta cle from which the eye turned in horror, for it was like the struggle of the executioner and the criminal on the brink of the ecaffold.

The incident related by the delegate from that county is as followei--The ladies appoint. ed a committee of six to wait upon the distiller and requested him tg desist. He refused—but It hap pened that the husband of a lady in the neighbor hood (who was a strong athletic woman) was in the habit of visiting the distillery, and remaining often days at a time, in the most beastly state of intoxication. She had often remonstrated with the distiller, but to no effect—he Would sell. One day being' absent longer than usual, the went to the distillery to hunt hirh.

It says, at a ball in Frankfort the other evening a young - gentleman it is said, took an undue liberty with a pretty lady. Tho lady made her complaint to the gentleman with whom she was dancing. Thereupon, the last named gentleman knocked the first named gentle man down in the ballroom. The fight extended until, as we are told, fifteen or twenty persons were engaged In .it. Fists, pistols, and knives of all sorts were flourished, and some blood was spilt, though nobody was killed. Two of the persons, who took part in the affair, have Since arrived here with the intention of settling their quarrel on the ,Indiana shore. It is said that an English officer, sojourning for a short time at Frankfort, was remarking, on the day before the affray, that he had heard much of Kentucky "rows," and that it was his moat a'nxione desire to see one. When the ball-room fight got well under way, a gentleman, who had heard the expressed wish of the officer, ran to hie room' and told hint what was going on. The officer ran to Of° ball-room, but the moment he entered the door, a tremendous stray fist 'knocked him clovin.
