through his head from Erick, who was
prepared for him. 'Now, sir,' said he,

' A piece of string I' cried his master,

to thi stMik and let it drag bebiud the
carriage. "It will keep them off ten min
utes.' Erick was right ; the. stick was dragg
ed along, about the- distance, pt ten yards
behind, and for some time the pack kept
behind it, and were plainly afraid of it.
At last they began to grow bolder, they
seemed to have discovered the trick, aud
passed the stick, and were again making
up to the-carnagc,

After they had fired once or twice, the
wolveswere no longer frightened by Jbej
fire and flash : and thev began to sur
round the coach on every side.
Tliere is but one thing left,' said Erick,
' we must cut the (races of one of the lea
ders and turn him off that will divert
them for a little while, and turning to the

' No, indeed, Erick,' said little Helena.
Hie baron looked at his wife and child
and said nothing.

--'God bless you, and he will bless. If
you perishI will look on your wife as .ft

'Thank you, sir,' saidF.riek firmly.

Those of our readers who rememl ; '
the prejudice attempted to be created
against Senator Badger last Starch, by
the Wilmington Journal, for an alleged
indifference to tltie important work, will
read in the proceedings of the Senate on
Monday and Tuesday last, a notable com
mentary on that incident. If Mr. Ashe,
"our talented and attentive Representa
tive, could only have secured the "co
operation" of the North Carolina Sena

the tiling might have been accomplished,
pretended the Journal That paper said
it knew that the Senators, '(or one of them,)
had turned their backs Upon the applica
tion for aid. The whole story was thor
oughly exposed at the extra session in
March last, when it was abundantly shown
by Democratic testimony, that our Sena
tors, and particularly Mr. Badger, did all
that war done, and that if the "talented
and atten ti ve" could have effected 4s much
in his House, this most just and necessary
appropriation would have been granted.
Well, now here is the bill again : pre
sented to the Senate without a Report of
a Committee, without the lormality or a
reference at all, taken up out of it time,
upon the simple request of Mr. Badger,
and passed at once, without a dissenting
voice-It was. sent j(theHou
