THE PIRATES AND THE PALATINES. k I.EOKUD OF ROBTII CAROLINA. There ia a traiditton of the North Carolina shore, which we have at present in a crude state, but which, ia jhe hands of aome of our romancers; may be wrought into a moil beautiful fiction. It has been a subject of even recent assertion, certified by the sworn test i monies of c redi ble pc rsons, t hat, annual ly , at a certain period in every year, a luminous object, having (he exact appearnnce of a ship on fire, ap pears upon the coast. Seeming to burn furiously, it yet speeds along, undiminished in fiery bulk and volu'fie, sailing with incredible rapidity until out of eight, but again suddenly re nparmg at the original point, nnd pursuing the same identical route, and in this progress, to and fro, it continues through 'tit thai particular inglit of tho year which is appropriated to its exhibition. This singular spectacle is accounted, for by the foll iwinK story. Tho burning ship goes by the name of the "Ship of the Palatines." The tradi tion ia, that some tune in the reign of the first George, a small company ol that clasa ot emigrants who were known as German Palatines, were pro vided with a ship at London, at the public expense, that they might ue transported to ihU country. It is well known that this sort nf assistance was fre quently rendered to a class of people, who were in moat cases exceedingly poor. It so happened, however, that the Palatine in question were in rather better circumstances than was commonly the caw with their countrymen. They had money, but, with a small cunning, they attected a degree of poverty, with the notoriety of which, the help of government not to speck of private charities would have been withheld. They had accumulated miniously preserved, and carefully concealed, with all the art of a smalt and selfUh community. Their treasures occupied but a litllo rpace, and were cautiuly put from eight in the mans of their infe rior l.irar. In tin condition of things, they went on board the vessel which had been provided,! for them, and soon after put to !. The voyago was a protruded one, in'a half rotten Imrk.nnd with head wind a great part of the time. W nt tmr-wrHrtnnifroeTrHn K,,.,vit thou, oh AzrsH what l.ll 1 thy portion!

"nigh, the poor creuturca. half mad with joy, began to hoiM iheir baggage in readiness for tho promised landing.' Hut thoy were destined lo be disappointed. In tho excitement of tho occasion and moment, they f irgot their prudence, and either made an (tccta turns exhibition ot their wealth, or somo words es caped them which led the ciptoin of their vessel to suspect their possession of it. His greedy eye beheld their iren're, or Ins greedy ears Imd heard their I"ki!iIi bo;i-jt of pfwetsions which they had never made nib!ic in Knglnnd. This discovery awakened tho devi! in his heart. Ho gave the sign to in mate : perhap i.itimated hi object to tho site men generally. In those days the profession of piracy was not a odious as it is in ours. Successful piracy, mdcod, was rather an honorable buiriocss j and he who practiced it with himi j r-fit, wan likely to acquire from it most hon or. 1 1 was only dmcretiitablo, like any other spec- uhithiti. when uisiirofitaUio. At all eventa, ine the old, the young, the tender 'and the strong, the young mother, and the pwt 'angel innocent but lately tent to earth, all perish or were incara ble of arresting the objects of tlw? cri'ui uila. Wo may fancy for ourselves tho norarr of such a sceno. Wo may imagine somo one ofi more of tho vie tims awaking under the ill diroo nd knife, awa king to a vain struggle, uiikinrtv alarming Itihc into consciousness who hajj no strength for conflict. rerhaps a mother rrny havo f u id atrength to rise to her knees, imploring merry for the dear child of her heart and hope, and may havo been suflured to live sufficiently long to seo its death strung!, its wild contortions, ia the grasp of the unrelenting assassin. Art may not describe uch a scene truly, as imagination can hardly conceive it. They per uheil, one and all, that little fauiily of emigrants; and the murderers, grouped around tho treasures which had damned their hearts into the worst hell of covctou snots and crime; were .iow busied in the division of their bloody spoils. (low they settled this matter among themselves : viiat division tney made, and with what temper they carried on the consultation, is, of course, only matter ol conjno ture. . Rut tradition, which t mways sufficiently courageous for conjecture, Hssrts, that having possessed themselves of all that was valuable in the ship, all that could be ersilr appropriated, thoy dotormined to set her on fire, as the only modo to conceal thoroughly the li.-ody Icstimoniea of their crime. Their boats were accordingly launched at midnight. The tnit was sti!l calm, still bcnutifuL still looking down as iiinncAnlly at if there were no crimes, as if death had never been born among the children of men. Having transferred their spoils to the bo jo.and coinpletitii I their preparations, the vessel u ton In .v Tho i fire, fed by tar and other muttff, seized ir-tnntly upon the combustible fabric.

FjiJuia SPEECH OP Mr. Saunders or North CaroIinat Delivered in (As Jfou of Rtpretrnlalivee on the fth July, 1912. -The bill which had been vetoed by the President being rejected, and tlie general tariff bill having been ta ken up on the o'-ii or July, ana rciarrca to ma com mittee of the Whole House Mb. Sai'.xdebs spoke as follows: Mb. Cu.uBMAif 1 I am happy in Imving ohtaiue'd the floor, as it enables me to say some things and to oxpress somo views orf matters which the limits of your hour rule on yesterday forbade, but which I hupe to be able to do to day. My experience an a member of this House La led mo to observe that, ' j w hcuever. the capitalist present himself at your uar-v-no matter in wnai cnuracier or snape no never fails to find wiihin these walls warm, zealous, and able advocates ; because he alway a comes with the disinterested professions of the patriot, asking nothing fot himself, every thing for tho country. K ho comes as a bank monopolist, asking exclusive privilegft), still all it for tho country, as ho only sects to improve the currency, and to regulate the exchanges. I f he comet at a manufacturer, asking protection for the great business in which ho ia engaged, nil is for the country, as he only wishes to build up homo industry, and add to tho wages of labor. If in the capacity ofthe merchant, bis on. ly wiih is to give prosperity to commerce and ag riculture. It is the farmer alone, the groat prodi. cer of all that gives life and support to the nation, who is hut too seldom thought of here except when the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, as on the present occasion, seeks the avenue to his pocket, under the pretext of advancing the general welfare. So you have your committees on tho currency, on manufactures and commerce, each ably sustaining the great interest confided to their charge, Rut 1 may be asked here, as I have been - . elsewhere il lam not willing to relieve the treasu ry to restore tho fallen credit ot the country T I ask, in turn, what was the relief promised, and what is it you propose I If it be by again filling '.bat treasury to ovetfl )wing, and tbut leading to those . expenditures which have been condemned as extras vagnnt, then I, for one, cannot go with you. You propose to levy, by the billion your table, thirty two millions upon imports aloue, with the view of collecting and providing a net revenue of twenty seveu and a hull or twenty eight millions nf dollar. 1 Bhk. iit if Jbi. i Ua.xnlu.f jnrnraUMdJlnd this ...
