There's lightning in his flashing eye, There's danger in his bound, Hark to the trumpet, wartime brave, The battles rages round, The battle rages round, my boys, The war-horse'charges free, 'rho field of battle is out own, 'Midst shouts of victory, 'Midst shouts of victory, my boys, 'Midst shouts of victory, The field of battle is our own, 'Midst shouts of victory. MISCELLANEOUS. THE MAIL ROBBER, A FRAGMENT OF ENGLISH HISTORY When the tyranny and bigotry of the last James drove his subjects to take up arms against him one of the most for midable enemies to his usurpation was Sir George Cochrane, a prominent actor in Argyle's rebellion. For ages a destructive doom seemed to hang over the house of Campbell, en veloping in a common ruin all who uni ted. their fortunes. to the cause of the chieftans. The same doom encompassed Sir John Cochrane. He was surround ed by the king's troops—long, bold, and desperate was his resistance ; but at length, overpowered by numbers, he was taken prisoner, tried and condemned to die upon the scaffold. He had but a few days to live, and the jailor only awaited the arrival of his death-warrant, to lead him forth to execution. His fam ily and relatives had visited him in prison and exchanged with him the last, the long, the heart-yearning farewell. But there was one who came not with the rest to receive his blessing—one who was the pride of his eyes and of his house, even Grizelle, the daughter of his love. 10 to 15 00 Twilight was casting a deep gloom over the grating of his prison house, and he was mourning for a last look of his favorite child, and his head was pres sed against the cold, damp cell, to cool the feverish pulsations that shot through it like streams of fire, when the door of his apartment turned slowly on its un willing hinges, and his keeper entered, followed by a young and beautiful lady. .Her person was tall and commanding, her eyes bright and tearless, but their brightness told of sorrow—sorrow too deep to be wiped away, and her raven tresses parted over on open brow, clear and pure as the polished marble. The unhappy captive raised his head as the two entered. "My child, my own Grizelle !" he ex claimed, and she fell upon his bosom. " My father, my dear father !". sobbed the miserable maiden, and dashed away the tears that accompanied the words. " Your Interview must be short, very short," said the jailor, as he turned away and left them for a few minutes together. "Heaven help and comfort thee, my daughter !" added Sir John, while he held her to his breast and imprinted a kiss 'upon her brow, " I feared that I should die without bestowing my blessing on the head of my own child, and that stung me more than death itself ; but thou art come, and the last blessings of thy wretched father-" " Nay, father, forbear !" she exclaim ed; not thy last blessing! not thy last —my father shall not die." " Be calm, be calm, my child," ho re turned. "Would to heaven I could com fort thee, my .own ! But there is no hope; within three days and thou and all my little ones will be—" Fatherless, he would have said, but the word died on his lips. " Three days," repeated she, raising her head from his breast, but pressing his hand, "three days, then there is'hope, my father shall live'? Is not my grand father with the confessor and the mas ter of the king'? From him he shall beg the life of his son, and illy father shall not die:" ITPORTED BY 'rlt T7TII colp,EcT.,pniNexngs• .=. OCTOBER 28, 1840. - "Nay, nay, my Grizelle," returned he "be not deceived; there is no hope; al ready the king has sealed the order of My execution' and the messenger of death is 'on his way." • •" Yet' my father shall not—shall not die !" she repeated emphatically, clasp ing her hands together. "Heaven speed a datighter's purpose," she exclaimed, and turning to him said calmly, "we part now, but we shall meet again." " What would my child 1." inquired he eagerly, and gazed anxiously upon her face. "Ask not now," she replied, "my father, not now, but pray for me and bless me—but not with thy lase bles sing." He again pressed her to his heart, and wept upon her neck. In a few minutes the jailor entered, and they were torn from the arms of each tither. On the evening of the second day af ter the interview we have mentioned, a wayfaring man crossed the bridge at Berwick, from the North, and proceed ing along Marygate, sat down to rest -upon a bench by the door of an hostel rie on the South side of the street; near ly fronting where what was called the " main guard" then stood. He did not enter the inn, for it was above his appa rent condition ; being that which Oliver Cromwell had' made his head quarters a few years before, and where, at a some what earlier period, James the Gth, of Scotland, had taken up his 'residence, when on his way to enter upon the soy reignty of England. The traveller wore a close jerkin, fastened around his body by a leathern girdle, and over it a short cloak of equally plain materials. He wits evidently a young man; but his bea ver was drawn down so as almost to conceal his features. In one hand he carried a small bundle, aqd in the other a pilgrim's stilt Having called for a glass of wine, he took a crust of bread from his bundle, and after resting for a few minutes, rose to depart. The shades of night were setting in, and it 'threat ened to 4e, a night of storms. The hea vens were gathering black, the clouds rushing from the sea, and sudden gusts of wind Were moaning along the streets, accompanied by heavy drops of rain, and the face of the Tweed was "troub led. "Heaven help thee, if thou intendest to travel far such a night as this," said the sentinel at the English gate, as the traveller passed him and proceeded to cross over the bridge. In a few minutes he was over upon the wide, desolate, and dreary moor of TweedmOuth, which for miles presented a desert of furze, fern, and stunted heath, with here and there a dingle cover with thick brushwood. Slowly he toiled over the steep hill, braving the storm which now raved with the wildest fury. The rain fell in torrents, and the ivind howl ed' as a legion of famished wolves, hurl ing its doleful and angry echoes over the heath:' Still the stranger • hurried onward, until he had proceeded two or three miles from Berwick, when, as if unable longer to brave the storm, he sought shelter amid some crab and bram ble bushes by the way side. Nearly an hour passed since he sought this imperfect refuge, and the darkness of the night, and the storm had increas ed together, when the sound of a horse'S feet was heard madly splashing through the water along the road. The rider bent his head to the blast. Suddenly the horse was grasped by the bridle, the rider raised his head, and the stranger stood before him, holding a pistol to his breast. " Dismount or die !" said the stranger sternly. ThO horseman, benumbed and strick en with fear, made an effort to reach his arms, but in a moment the hand of the robber, quittin, the bridle, grasped the breast of the rider, and dragged him to the ground. He fell heavily upon his face, and for several minutes remained senseless. The stranger seized the leather bag which contained the mail to the North, and flinging it on his shoulders, rushed across the heath. Early on the following morning, the inhabitants of Berwick wore seen hur rying in groups to the spot where the roberry had been committed, and were scattered in every direction over the moor, but no trace of the robber could be obtained. Three days had yet passed and Sir John Cochrane had lived. The mail which contained his death warrant had been robbed, and before another order for an execution could be given, the in tercession of his father, the Earl of Donald, with the king's confessor, might be successful. Griselle now became his constant com panion in prison, and spoke to him words of comfort. Nearly fourteen days had pnssed since the robbery of the mail had been committed, and protracted hope in the prisoner became :more bitter than the first despair. But even that hope, bitter as ,it was, perished. The inter, cessions of his lather has been unsuc cessful, and the second time the bigoted haughty monarch had signed the war rant of his death, and within little more than a day that warrant would reach his prison. " The will of heaven be done !" groan ed the captive. " AmeA!" responded Grizelle, with wild vehemence; " but yet my father shall not die." Again the , rider had reached the moor of Tweedmouth, and the second time he bore with him the doom of Sir John Cochrane. He spurred his horse to the utmost speed, he looked before, behind, and round him, and in the right hand he held a pistol ready to defend himself.— The moon shed a ghastly light across the heath, which was only sufficient to render desolation dimly visible, and it gave a spiritual embodiment to every shrub. He was turning an angle of a straggling copse, when his horse reared at the report, of a pistol, the, fire of which seemed to flash in its very eyes. At the same moment his own pistol flash- ed, and his horse rearing violently, he was driven from his saddle. In a mo ment the foot of the robber was on his breast, who, bending over him and bran dishing a short dagger in his hand, said : " Give me thy arms or die !" The heart of the king's servant failed within him, and without venturing a reply he did as he was commanded. " Now go thy way," said the robber sternly, " but leave the horse with me, and leave thy mail, lest a worse thing come upon thee." The man arose and proceeded towards Berwick, trembling, and the robber mounting the horse which he had left, rode rapidly over the heath. Preparations were making for the, ex, ecution of Sir John Cochrane, and the officers of the law waiting only for the arrival of the mail arid the second death warrant, to lead him forth to the scaffold, j when the tidings, arrived that the mail 'had again been robbed. For fourteen Idays the life of the prisoner would yet be prolonged. He again fell on the neck of his daughter, and said : "It is said—the hand of heaven is in this." " Said I not," replied the maiden, and for the first time she wept aloud, "that my father should not die V' - The fourteen days had not passed when the prison door flew open, and the Earl of Donald rushed to the arms of his son. His intercession with the con fessor had been successful,and after twice signing the death warrant for the execu tion Of. Sir John, which had so often failed in its place of destination, the king had sealed his pardon. He had hurried with his father from the prison to his own house, his family were clinging around him, shedding tears of joy: but Grizelle, who, during the imprisonment had suffered more thain them all, was abSent. They were mar velling with gratitude at the mysterious Providence, that had twice intercepted the mail and saved his life, when a stran ger craved an audience. Sir John desi red him to be admitted, and the robber entered ; he was habited as we haVe be fore described, with the coarse cloak and jerkin, but his bearing was above his condition. On entering, he slightly, touched his beaver, but remained cover. ed. "When you have perused these," said lie, taking two papers from his bo som, "cast them into the fire." Sir John glanced at then—startad, and became pale--they were his own death-warrants ! My deliverer !" he exclaimed, , 'how shall I thank thee; how repay the sa viour of my life 1 My father, my chil dren, thank him forme." The Earl grasped the hand of the stranger, the children embraced his knees. He pressed his hand to his (nee and burst into tears. "By. what name," eagerly inquired Sir John, "shall I thank my deliverer 1" The stranger wept aloud, and raising his beaver, the raven tresses of Grizelle .Cochratie fell on the coarse cloak. " Gracious heavens 1" exclaimed the astonished and enraptured father, "toy own child—my saviour—my own Griz elle !" It is unnecessary to add more. The imagination of the reader can supply the rest, and we may add that Grizelle Cochrane, whose heroism and noble affection we have briefly and imperfect ly sketched, was the grandmother of the late Sir John Stewart, of Allenbank, Berwickshire, and grand-mother to Coutts, the celebrated banker. There is a law in Holland which obliges the government to bring up, at its own charge, the seventh child of ev ery family in which there are already six living.

Frotn ,the Lancaster Union Nora take the following accountof twainost brutal mur ders, perpetrated in that city uu the 17th inst.: On Saturday morning, the .17th inst., a man named JOHN HAGGERTY, liv- ing in South Queen street, in this city, committed a series of MURDERS un paralleled in the annals of our Common wealth! Between 9 and 10 o'clock, af ter shooting a horse in the street, near his door, he went into the gun-smith shop —near his own residence—of Mr. MEI.- CHOM FORDNE an old and highly es teemed man ; What took place we could not ascertain, but a boy, a son of Mr. Fordney, gave the alarm that his father, mother and sister had been murdered by Haggerty!. On going into the room we witnessed one of the most horrid spec tacks imaginable. Just inside the front door of the shop, lay the old man, with his brains battered out, and his legs nearly eat off! At his side, but with her head towards the back door, lay the body of his wife, her brains also batter ed out ; had near by was her child, five and a half years old, with its scull bro ken, and the brains oozing - therefrom The floor and walls of the room covered and bespattered with the blood and brains of the unfortunate victims! Fordney and his wife, it scorns, had been killed instantly. The little boy stated, in substance, that Haggerty gut at his father with an axe, and while be was killing him, his mother ran in t interfere, when ho turned upon her and killed her, and then struck the child on the head with the axe I The child was still alive yesterday morning. The foul deed created intense excitement in our city. V his man Haggerty is a desperate Tel low. He attempted to kill a man some years since, named Weis, and was sent 'to the penitentiary for the offence. He has committed many aggravated acts of assault and battery upon several of our citizens. For this last offence he has been arrested and is now in prison. Much excitement existed on Saturday, and still exists, against High Constable Brintnall, for—we shall call it by as mild a name as possible—GßOSS NEG LIGENCE—in not having had Hagger ty arrested several days previous to this outrage. He had a warrant for his ar rest in his possession, issued on Mon day last, by the Mayor, for ill-Usage to his family or neighbors; and yet, know ing his desperate character, hopermitted him to run at large until he has most cruelly murdered nearly a whole family! ME BALTIMORE Bors.—The St. Louis Legion, part of the discharged volun teers, returned from Mexico a short time since. Passing the hall in which they were to be mustered out of the service, I dropped in. From the conversation of the Men, I soon learned that the Balti more's Own had excited the admiration of the b'hoys, and the fears of the timid. I was muclr amused at the remarks whieh incidentally dropped from time to time from the men. An honest Hibernian, speaking to a friend, said, in reply to the interrogatory as to whether he had seen any Mexicans—" the one; but, by may cowl, I laid my two eyes on the Bahl moor bias, and larks they are, indade. I plidgo ye'z me honest word, whin they couldn't get a fight out of a strhangcr, They would go to work at one another jist out of pure, fun, Och ! they are the blies, and no mistake." I asked a German, a member of the company, what kind of men the Balti more soldiers were 1 Ho looked at me some time without replying, and then heaving a long sigh, said, "Dey pe pad like de debil." Poor fellow, I judged front his manner that he spoke feelingly. —Cor. Balt. Sun.
