ROMANCE Of thV Battle of "Moore's Mills," or y " TH E.MAI D OF THE AUXVASSE. BY WILUK CT.AS1'. t ' . V , CHAPTER X. No brighter or more devoted pupil ever' eutered Columbia's vestibules of science; than the -young and beautiful 'Jchuie Fletcher. In the splendid tem-' pies of learning, that have for years graced and adorued'thia classic city, there had entered and worshiped and gone, many fair boings, as beautiful and bright as the fabled Ilouries ; but in loveliness and grace, and in natural mental endow-incuts uot one of them ere surpassed our own sweet Jennie. It is uot strange then that she soon became tho favorite, not only of the President of tho college, nut of all the teachers whilst her perfectly amiable and gentle . disposition made her also the beloved and favorite of the girls. Jennie was an excellent example of deport meut her deineauor being al-i ways such that it brought :o reproof -from her teachers, nor reproach from her companions, nor- remorse ; to horsclf. Yet, notwithstanding-she! learned with astonishing rapidity and was loved and admired by. all, and whilst apparently ' she was cheerful and happy, a sadness had crept o'er her gentle being, like the faint mist that settles upon sweet in the.slumber g valley, he 1 Heard from Mliuby since that recinowers had not fcwliubv since that eventful wight .wJtftu they took him away from her mother's humble cottage. She knew tha e,wa.-ighly intellectual, and she uia uot doubt that he natl been raised in - the very best of soeietv : but she did not j know that his parents were very wealthy, nor that he had been nurtured in the lap ,lf luxury, , Poor, child ! It wassurfi-C-ient fr her tojuiow that he was hand-some awd noble aud true, and that, he loved her with all the strength of his own great nature. This, to her, was blessed consolation. This, it was, that made her look up and seem . glad. This was the happy thought that nerved her pure, young heart. But this, too, it was that made her ssd ; for somehow from the time when they took him away, she had had 'a Secret forbodlng she could illy define, a misgiving she could not uuder- ' stand. The great civil war was raging-many bright stars of hope had already set, never to rise, She knew that her lover would rejoin the Confederate army. ,This he had told her himself. Aiid knowing his brave and chivalrous nature ahe knew, that he-would ever be found where the fight was thickest and the danger greatest. Hence the clouds of sadness that darkened her morning sky. ' One beautiful afternoon, about six weeks after Jennie had entered college 1n Columbia, she and one of fair com- ' panionv were quietly promenading in the 'pretty, green campus grounds in front orthe college buildings, when the president of. the institution came walking up . tho smooth gravel walk and, calling Jen- jUie to him, hauded her a letter. As he did so he looked at Ik scrntinizingly, for - It was .contrary to the regulations of the eollege for the young ladies to have any correspondents, except those of their Yery 'near relatives. As she took it, 1 therefore, he said : ,'- see from the post-mark that it is .. from Troy, Lincoln county. 1 was not . aware that yon had any near relatives down there, Jennie. Your brother in Alton Prison could not have had a letter mailed from Troy, could he V -As he spoke, Jennie felt that hisques-'tieninjj'-eyes were- searching her' very ' heart, whilst her face litterally radiated with the brashes of that innocent, modest confusion, that was so peculiarly be-'' witching in her. However, she was the , very, soul of truth. If she had one distinguishing, trait above another in her character, it was the love of truth. Truth to her was a necessity.-Beauties la vain their pretty eyes may roll, Unarms strike the sight, but truth alone wins t 't the soul."-. . ' On the fair tablets of her young heart trnth had stamped its hidullible impress, : as in letters of gold on the fresh pages of a new volume ; to that it beamed in her ye? spoke In luer actions and breath-v ed iu her words, her songs and her prayers. To her, it was not deceitful, .-. nor did It Beak to bide itself. To her, it ; loved the light because it was itself light. - It had opened wide the windows of her -eoul. so that the Heaveuly dove had en- 1 tered, and sang a song of perpetual love 'making her bright and serene witn at most celestial Innocence, as though the '' "crrsalis had never fallen through which earth is crumbling, atom by atom, to .dust." , She wonld not, therefore, have . deceived her kind hearted teacher for , ur conceivable consideration. Her eyes -had alreadv glanced over the inscription and her fluttering heart had already told her all about whom it was from. Hals ing the sweet hazel eyes to those of her teacher, with a look,-in which there was do guile, hut which was full of gentle, innocent, happy etaotions, she said : "It Is from a gentleman who was taken off the battle-field at "Moore's Mill" very badly wounded, and was left at our house for dead. ' We extended to him attentions, and he is very' g.Ateful : and, '"ir.I-I-"--" . ,-, V'v: . , " There, ' my daughter i g Qltnd read ' your letter," said the good "man, w$oe heart was already stirred to profr er 'depths of sympathy than JeunHad " dared to hope.

Three weeks ago we published an account of a terrible tragedy which oc-cuitciI at Eureka, III., resulting in the death of Mrs. Hedges, and the blasting forever oF 'the' reputation" of " families heretofore occupying high positions iu that section of country. It is allcdged aud on proof strong as Holy Writ--thnt Mrs. Workman, wife of the Methodist minister of Eureka, in a lit of frenzied reasons assigned were thai relations ex- eistcd between the Uev. Workman and Mrs. Hedges hardly compatible with the character of a clergyman, and very deplorable in that of one of his flock. It will be seen by tho subjoined corres pondence between this lewd shepherd and Mrs. II. that the murderess had am ple ground for jealousy, but not sufficient for committing a crime that consigns her time to everlasting infamy and her soul to nerditionc From. n perusal of the letters, which passed between the 5fe; Workman, and Mrs. Hedge!, it ia but osttosuy that sheMs 'the ;jest?guilty party, and )iati tieiate otiWorkman must ever be eqtlafjy-associated in guilt with that of his wife!

The Chicago Tribune says the story of the killing of Mrs. : Hedges at Eureka, III., from beginning to end, is one of the most shocking of recent occurrence. It furnishes a striking comment on the liberal construction that has been put upon the; law against the taking of human life. Mrs. Hedges . was a widow residing iu Eureka, who devoted a large share of her time aud energies to the church of which, the was a member. One day, a few weeks ago,- her dead body was found behind a school-house, half eaten by hogs, but bearing unmistakable' evidence that sho had been murdered. On examination tw'a Utters were found, pinned to her under-vtothiug, which betrayed an impYopcf, though perhaps not criminal, intimacy between tho deceased and the Methodist clergyman of the town, a man named Workman. This gave tho first clue to the commission of the crime. Workman was "produced, but he denied auy criminal intimacy with the woman, aud also denied any knowledge of tho cause or manner of her death. Suspicion at once attached to Workman's wife, who- had the reputation of boing a high-tcmp'cTed'womanand she was arrested. Her conduct after., the .arrest confirmed the suspicion of at least a knowledge of the crime.. Sho swooned several times in succcsson, then feigned insanity, and finally, when tho doctor told her that all would not avail her, sho informed him that he might go to hell. . Subsequent investigation showed that Mrs.' Workman had made an appointment to meet Mrs. Hedges; that sciillling and outcries had been heard iu the quarter where the meeting occurred ; that Mrs. Workman bad afterwards declared that she was ruined for lifo, and requested prayers for her soul, though she had never before beeiK?Teligiou8ly f inclined ; that . there were bruises on her body, which showed that she had beenin a fight; and that the dress she wore, on the evening of the murder had been hidden. . and. when found, was covered with mud. blood.and hair, the hair being the same as that of the murdered woman. In one word the circumstances were as conclusive as circumstances can be that MrsHedges had been murdered by Mrs. Workman iu a tit of jealousy. '1 ho most dangerous phase of the case. however has beeu developed in the action of the grand jury of Woodford countv. in w men- me uiuruor was committed, in spile of the proofs that Mrs. Workman Lf . L- ll . . . J was the murderess or Mrs. Hedges, tho graud jury refused to lind a bill of in dictment, and the guilty woman has been released. - The action of the grand jury seems to add another to the already extended list of homicides that are held to be justifia bie on uie ground or emotional or senti mental insanity. The acquittal of Sickles, Colo, aud Mctarland established the precedent that a husband mav kill wife's paramour or suspected paramour; uiai oi juis io.ary xiarris ana Mrs. r air, that a woman may shoot a man who de serts; that of various husbands in France, mat a raau may tin a laitniess wile. Fight Between a Whale aud Sea A . terpen t. ' The following description of an en Counter between a whale and a sea ser pent is extracted from an affidavit of i Captain West, of Hallowcll, Maine:. About 8 o'clock iu the afternoon, Capt Ann, bearing southwest about two leagues, steering a course north-north east, saw directly ahead,- distant about three-tilths of a mile, an object which I have no doubt was the sea-serpent so ofteu mentioned by others, engaged with whale that was endeavoring to elude the attack.- The serpent threw np his tan rronr twenty-nve to thirtv feet in perpendicular t direction, striking the whale with tremendous blows ranidlv repeated, which were distinctly heard, and very loud, ior two or three minutes. They then both disappeared for several minutes, moving in a southwest diicc tion, when they reappeared inshore of us, and about under the sun, the reflec lion oi wnicn was so strong as to pre vent our seeing so distinctly as before when the tremendous blows wcro repeat ed, and. as clearly heard as before. They then went down again for a short time, and again came up to tho surface from the larboard auarterr the whale appearing first and the serpent iu pursuit. Here our view was very fair. The serpent shot up his tail through the water to tho height above mentioned, which ho held out of water some time waving it in air, and at the same time, while his tail remained in this position, raised his head rather leisurely fifteen or twent y feet, as if taking a view, of the surfaco of the sea. After remaining in this situation a short time he sunk into the water, disap peared, and was not afterward seen by anv on board. The serpent's body was larger, in my opinion, than the mast of any ship 1 ever saw; his tail appeared very ragged and rough, and was shaped something like an eel's, aud his head like that, of a laud serpent's. Being well acquainted with whaling. I think the whale was endeavoring to escape, as he spouted nut onco at a time on coming to the sur face. The whale's back was distinctly seen, as well as his spouting, and the last time that he was seen - he went down before the serpent came up. The above was seen by all on board, amount ing to fifteen or eighteen persons, as well as myself, with the exception oi one woman.' During our view the combatants had passed a mile or more. Tho whuln was a humpback, aud a pretty large one. Aupuain Faik.
