But that is I neither here nor there, so I will go ou with iny story. On n br.gLi stnnrners day a young ; l mrl stood at the door of the house, kvik- j it g anxiously up the road, as it watch ing for some expected one. The sun was jtist sinking behind the forest trees, p"uritiiT a mellow light alor.g the sandy road a id over the dark, sombre green of the ta!l pine trees. Everything was in repose. Scarcely a br a'h of air stir red the have?; the lowing cf cattle was frepuently herd from afar; a ripple of the little stream camp pleasantly to the j ear. ard the hum of an:, growing every moment more low, dird ai last away She was beautiful, but it was the beauty of a high lve and of a proud form. Neiihf r did she, whn you looked at her. appear so young as she at first seemed She was, p;rhap eighteen ; she could not be over twenty, and yet, had it no been for an air of wcmiuly dignity, she migby hare passed for a girl of sixteeu only. "What can detain him?" she asked, at length, shading bn-r ej'es with her hand, and .gazing anxiously from ihe door. The words had scaicely been spoken! before a figure emerged from the wood up the road, and with a glad smile she was rushing forward a pace cr two to meet ihe comer, when suddenly she turn- ed as pal as death, an I scarcely pjicu- 1 she turned back j u the hou?. I The character cf her approauhicg visitor e?fcily explained her emotioa. The refugees were at that time the brijr- and? of the country. Taking advantage j refugee gazed upon her for a mcrneut, of the turmoil of the times, and of the j aad then, with a curse, called his men to absence of most of the male population j follow him in pursuit of the flying !hus in the continental annv, they ravaged j t;and. the" country at will, plundering end burn ing farmhouses, and even, in some in-iianc-s, hubjectii-g the females to per sonal violence. TiVy were consequent y the terror cf the country. Of th &e men, Dtvid Rowel, or, as lie was lannliarly called, from his co.u plnion, "Biack: Davy," was the most no torious. Sumetunes moving al.ms, and sr.inetunes accompained by others, but always marking his track with same out rage, he had gained for himself a noto net)' as widespread as it was terrible. It wa the tight of this individual which becked the steps of the young girl, and -? drove her trembliug to seek refuge in her home. But her fear, it seemed, oon vanished. She had fct-arcrly pas-d the threshold brfure, as if aciuatr-d by a sudden reso lution, she hastily turned back, and wiik nu unhi u.kitjy face, though a beating fieart, confronted the refugee. What ever was her motive, her tearless d--iiieauor daunted him. He stepped, and was Mirut. 'What want you what would you have, sir ? why do you jeek a lonely house like this at udi an hour ?" akc-U the girl, wuh fla-hing eyes. The abashed iefu,ee had by this tim recuvereJ his fohdrrni e, nd, with an e:t.-y air, whivtied aloud, and then he ansuered the girl : "Not so fast, mistress, not so fast ; wt are nere alter yi.ur good man, my uear, Kud. tljuli you have beeti married oniy j a foPnight or to, we mut settle our ae- i f I i I count with him. I have signalled my men, and you see they are rum ing. We j must search your house. Come :n, boys," and, with these wolds, the refugee, accompanied by three ruh-luoku;g men. woo had ju-i come, up ut uu:-vver to his j tail, paswd into the house. The young ! wile tor such she was gazd alter iiein, and, lifting her haiids on high, mnrniured a thanksgiving that her hus band hd not yet come. Ir. about a o,uarier of an hcur the men returned, and. sw earing louoly at their ii!-suiress, began to starch for the mast er of the place among th? few outhouses. But their efforts were in vain. The j young wife, im anvvhiie, though betray ing no signs cf fear, stood there scarce Jv knewing wutether the enraged rt:fliaus would not the next mom en', take her life. "Tins is too bad !" said the leader, uth an oath, after their unsuccessful seaich; "he will certainly be here sot;ie nuie to-nigh. Let us wail for the ras cally tebel and shoot him down on his uwtj thieshold !" This brutal proposition just suited his desperate followers, and taking up their quarters withiu. ordered the Yuut.g wife to prepare du m some supper. Though b.a hing the .-i'ht of her tormentor, and trembling continually lest her . husband should ti rive, she was forced io obey liie r commands. She coiitinotd, how- ! t-ver, to keenalwavs in sight of the d-icr. tl n. ln n v- f utlKxulA a soon as he emeigeo from ihe wood, de ief miniiiL' to arn hsm to fl- e at once. tttt,u 5if. tfcou,d ljak htT ,fc y lhe en-ro(is ct. "Fiy ! Fiy, Richard, fly!" What does the jade uirtati?" asked Black D-tvy. angrily, rushing afteY her. Then, raising hts "p,tiCe be continued, Come on, or y ju ?re dead man !" For an instant the husband paused. He saw at a glance the situatiou of affairs, and though it was agony to leave bus wife in such hands. lie kunw it would be certain death to appr oach tie house. j His firm whig principles had made the ! refugees and Tories his political enemies, . ai d he knew.that Biack Davy had more j than Once sworn to take away his life. His onlyTiope, therefore, wa in a pre- cipitatn retreat. That no persoi al in-I ju-y would b offwred to his w-fp, he felt almost certain, for deds of tht charac ter had never yet been attributed to the present leader of the refugees'. These rrptd thoughts ctiused a momentary de-: lay, which weHnieh proved his ruin The refugee captain hed already raided f Ms piece, aad when he saw tne miunu j lum to flee he fired.

The An hour afterward the husband re turned, having baffled his pursuers. " Lan guage cannot describe his emotions on perceiving the condition of his wife.

But Eilen must not know of it. I will wait until she is asleep, and then depart on my errand. God will favor the right !"" . The stars were faint and few that night, as the bold farmer, extorting from the kind neighbor a premise of secrecy, stole out into the air, armed with hi trusty piece, and, after looking for a mo ment at the sky abuve. struck boldly ac croas the forest, in lss than an hour he had visited two farmhouses, and ob tained three neighbors to aid him in his design. Striking right into the bean cf the forest, they puhed on fur several hours, apparently without fatigue, and almost m silence. At Idiigih he came to i i . a null. "Their haunt is somewhere, here, I have learned," said the husband. ' I a 1 nard it ny cnance irom one or lupir uaug, who mistook me for Bill Riohiiigs, who you know was supposed toiiave no objections to their ways. 1 shou'iii. not j h be s-urpris-d if he knowledge of my !

Lie close, now, and wait till they come up.7' The group instantly lapsed into silence, and each of them taking up a position behind a large tree, or gome fallen irunk waned breathlessly for the approach of the comers, whose tread miht now be heard increasing in distinctness wpry moment. Directly afterwards voices were recognised, conversing in a care less tone ; then a loud laugh rang in the night air. and. after a momentary silence, one of the approaching gang burst into a song. 'Now is cur tire," whisfered the husband to one of his companions ; take the right-hand manand leave the Itader to me. Ready fire !" The report of the nnVs echoed sharp ly through the woods, and three of jhe refugees, leaping into the air, fell dead upon the gtouiid. The husband's guu flashed in the pan, but did not go off. The captain of the ruffians was unhurt. Sprmgiig back a few steps f r r, ihe covert, where his assailants lay conceal ed, he shouted : "We are betrayed ! Ve mptt run for it, my boys !" And before the enraged pursuers could well understand his intention he had turned and fled, followed by thpse of hi. band wfio still remained be hind It was. however. m time ftr hes itation. The baSet4 husband wts Jthe first todath from his covert, and, without pausiig to see whether the fallen men were reaby dead, he thundered : "Foiward ! forward! pursue item to ti e death !" As he spoke he dashed off in pursuit. His enmpanions hesiia'ed a motn-nt, ard hen followed hi? example. Three of the refugees had escaped, bui there were four iu pursuit. Fear reemed, however, j to have seized upon them, else why should they have retreated before a force so litile exceeding their own? It is probable ihat they imagined ajar greater j number of the enraged inhabitants were on tueir. track, for they ,-ouM starce.y. uppose that four men would have ihe hardihood to penetrate to th-ir fastiness when their full numtier wis known to ; equal a dozen.

One cf tbera : wa"s Black - -vi VA" -1 Davy, ; his pursu er was the mju'red bus- band. Both tha villiaqV temp an icnsJ had been overtaken and ain. The ea- fercesi of the husband had cutftriped the pi ace of his companions, ai.d after i pursuit of msny hours' duration, he was now on the point of coming up with him. The rapd steps of the two men, pur suing and pursued, brought the latter to the edge of the abrutt hill before he was aware of it, and he saw at a glance that further flight was impossible. He turn ed and beheld only one foe in siht ; he could hear the bhouisjf the others far behind ipthe forest, and he resolved to 'grapple with the foremost pursuer, and by destroying him. eiTect his escape be fire the others came up. He turned at bay. The rifles cf both tne combatants had been discharged in the pursuit, and they now stood face to face, with no oth er weapons than their hunting-knives. all their mutual, hate sparkling ia their eyes. "Villian! murderer! traitor!' hoarse ly ejaculated the husband, pale with pas sion, as he darted at the refugee. The outlaw made no answer, but scowled a mortal defiance at his foe, and, drawing his knife, awaited ihe eulaughi. And it was terrible. For a few mo ments so incessantly were their thrusts mutually parried, that ihe eyes could not follow the motions of the Court atants. Now one, how the other seemed to have the advantage. The dry loaves flew in showers around the contending foes, and ihe dust rose in ch-iuU, often hiding them from sight. Not a word was spoken by eiihr-r. At length after a few slipht wounds ou both sides, at a desperate trust made by the husband, his knife .-truck against the iron buckle of his an tagonist, and was shivered to pieces. The refugee saw his advantage, and raised his knife to strike. As a last hope hi pursuer grasped his wrist. A r.-'perate struggle ensued'; both were men vi great personal strength, but the outlaw having received a wound ia his right arm was perhaps the weaker of.the two. After a protracted struggle he yielded, and in a fierce fTet made by the husband to obtain the kmf. it flew from Black Davy's hand to the distance of some yards. By this time they had been impercep tibly drawn to the very edge of the hill, where a ruggtd precipice of some fifty feet shct perp-niiicularly down beneath ih-m. Gathering every energy for his iast endeavor, the pursuing husband strove to force ihe ouilaw over the prec ipice, and had partially succeeded in do ing so, when he felt the gravt-lly bank giving away beneath them. With one iHind he lustily grasped a twig, and with the other, making a gigantic effort, he ihru-t hts autag cist ever the precipice, so that ti.e outlaw dangled in the air, having no other aupport but the hold he kept upon the left arm of his adver sary. All hop;? for ihe refugee was over, but he determined that his foe should perish with him. Moments passed away, at every one of which the bank gave way more and j more. The utmost efforts, of the victor to shake effthe dying man were in vein. and he felt that his last hour had come, j ! , . , , ... He heard no more even the hcuts of his friends, and, with a sickening sensation, ; he felt they had either lot their way or deserted him. Could they only have come up he might have been saved. He felt the twig begin to yield ; he had al ready slipped half off the bank, and the struggles of the dying man were becom ing more de-perate every moment. He j guzed al ibe gulf below. Broken limbs of irees and uprooted pines lay min plrd promiscuously togthe.-.,sO that to fall into the abys would be certain destruc tion. The countenance of the outlaw al ready wore a dtrncnital fn.ile in contem plation cf ihe ruiu to which he was ding ginsr the young man. And that bridegroom, 'was there hope ; for him? Alas! alt was gone! He j gave oqp thouthi of his bride, one look j towards hf aven, a pra er to Gcd. and ! shut his eye against the awful cata.ro- i p! e he felt bad come.

Vi Field, after alluding t the absolute electoral perfection of the) cable, now being made, states the amount completed up to the COth of December at : 750 miles. The cable is dow being made at the rate of eighty miles per ; week. Without hurry and without night work. It will be finished by the end of the first of June. Two tank3 are on board the Great Eastern for storing the IcaMe, and a third is prcgrssii)r rapidly There is no racn to doubt that the ca- ble will be on board and the great slip ready for sea, with everything in the best order, during the month of June. Mr. Seward has no doubt that the cable will be successfully laid and worked. -George W. Curtis, in a lecture deliv ered at Providence, made the followir.g statement: " At a priyate meeting in New York, of ?aj italists and secessionists, held in ihe secession ytar, one of the leading men proposed that the terms of Southern men should be accepted in advauce. And one of the largest merchants in that city, I gii-ve to say he was born in New Eng land, sprang to his feet as a politician sat dowu, and aaid : "O gentlemen, how t-eautiful is peace. I say amen, I say amen," W lile another merchant of that city, not born in New England, but in Scotland, landing ou these shores a pen niless boy, now the second richest man in the country, rose as his fellow-mercfiant sat down. '-Gentlemen," said he "I am a trader, and trade requires peace; the south owes me at least a million of dollars; I wi-h, like all merchants, that the debt shall be paid to me; but should it raise its hand against the Union and the Government which mde me a 11 I have, I will gladly lose ihat million.

Tennesse is "free" to-night after three days of earnest and thorough but patient and good tempered debate, the reso lution declaring slavery forever abolish ed and prohibited throughout the State, was passed without one dissenting voice, and with the most enthusiastic applause. In addition to this, the Convention pass ed a vote prohibiting the Legislature from recognizing the right of property in man. forbidding it from requiring com pensation to be made to the owners, ab rogating the declaration of State inde pendence, the Military League made in 1561 with the Confederate States, and all laws and ordinances made in pursu ance of them.
