Jolin Mallory was returning from his day's work, with bU sp ade over bis sbouU der, when he aaw a woman sitting close to i ho wall, weeping bitterly. John had a kind heart and waa easily moved at the sight of distress, so be topped and addressed the woman. 'Yon seem to be iu trouble' that was what be said. The mourner lifted her face, and he saw that she was a very young woman, scarce ly more than a girl, in fact. Bat this did not lessen his pity at all ; possibly it inn eressed it, for his heart was hum tn an well as kind. ( WrITTB fO THE WATCH.) FOLKS MlT THE PAIR, CANTO XIV.

In coarse of time Johu and Mary were married, and settled down on the Mallory farm, and there for tbe present we will leave tbem. One day a handsome traveling carriage drew up bnfere tbe d or of a hotel in a quiet New England village. It was an event in tbe history of that hotel, for nev er bad each an establishment been seen there before. Out came tbe two hostlers, oat came the stable boys, out came the bar-keeper, and, lastly, out came the land lord himself. A gentleman alighted from the carriage and was followed by a beautiful and richly Crossed lady Bobbing bin bare head and waving aside hi subordinates the nbe-qtiiotts landlord led the way to tne parlor, took the orders of his dtstin- 'My wife ia well, and will come her self and thank you for your great good nee.'

'Cheer up, then, if that is all,' said John, 'and come with me. My mother won't drive yu from her door, you may be sure And John spoke truly, for his mother's heart was like bis own. She only needed to know that the girl was a stranger and in distress to give her a cordial wel come ''Fake off yonr things, my dear,' said she, removing tbe girl's shawl with her own hutrds, "and sit here by the fire.

After the death of her mother he had come to Boston, hoping to.be able to support himself ana her by teaching bis own language ; but just as he had found a situation which promised to be permanent he became very ill; in fast, the climate of this country bad never agreed with him, and he was always mourning for 'ia belie France.

Tbat John was not insensible to her attractions may well be imagined, and what the consequences might have been I cannot tell, if his heart bad not been already preoccupied. That being tbe ease, there was no room there for the fair stranger, save in tfe way of friendship, and he showed his friendship by bringing Mary, bis betrothed, to see ber. Curious it was to see tbe two together Mary, tbe staid New England girl, with her rosy cheeks, her calm, blue eyes and yellow hair ; her plaiu drees, and steady northern tongue ; and HJstelle, with her olive skin, ber hair and eyes as dark aa night, her fanciful idiomatic speech and her airy figure, which gave grace even to tbe worn garments which clothed it. It waa the brown thrush and the canary bird sitting side by side on an apple-tree bough. Still, they got on well together, these two, and kissed each other when they parted. But when Estelle parted from Mrs Mallory ihe hung on her neck as if ir bad been her own dear mother sbe waa leaving. John saw ber aafely on her journey, and when he took her band to say fare well he left in it a small purse, containing a sum sufficient for her expensee. 'I shall not forget you, ever ever--no, not till my dying day does come,' said Estelle, with tears in ber eyes. 'The rood Ood bless you for your kindness to toe. poor stranger you, and your mother and the pretty Marie,' In a few weeks the Mallorys received a letter from Estelle, saying that sbe bed keep it always, arfd his children after him, for real estate doesn't take to itself wings and fly away as other riches do. Bat what doe John do but sign a note for a friend, and how he's lo?t everything?' 'Everything?' x '15 very thing jnst tnrned himself and family out. of house aud home. That is to say, they'll have to go; there is no help lor it.' 'lie's at the old place now, is he?' 'He is ma'am, but be won't be long; the sale takes place to day.' 'Thanks,' said ihe lady; and then, as if to herself, 'Poor John ! so like him.' 'You know Um ?' queried the land lord. 'He showed me great kindness once, fifteen years ago. I was here, also, at that time. Yon do not remember it.' 'It is very strauge, but really, ma'am, it ha escaped my recollection.' 'Quite likely It was before my mar riage.' And with this tbe landlord was forced to be satisfied. The sale was over, and John Mallory was wandering from room to room, taking hich hen General Von Moltke on Ameri can Generals. A newspaper correspondent has stated recently that General Yon Moltke thinks there was no great soldier develop ed during tbe war between the American State, on either ssnW Since tbe death of General Lee, Von Moltke is probably the highest military HIHUIIIJ WUU MU UC (UUICU. JJUkr 11 ue gave utterance to these comments as they are imputed to him, we mast deny his accuracy about facts, if we admit his eon elusions. History will not justify the statement that nc great general was de veloped during our late war en either side. When the world knows tbe fucts of our struggle sgaiust the Northern States it will say that our inferiority in numbers end resources was compensated by tbe energy ot our people and tbe akill ia war of oar generals. Neither Geu. Von Moltke nor any other European since Napoleon has ever fought sncb a battle ss the battle of Chancel lorsvil le ; and it is simply ignor ance and prejudice which can deny to Lee his claim to occupy the foremost rank of generals. Since Marlborough Europe has not produced Lee's equal : always excepting ihe great master ot the art ot war, Napoleon Our war was too far removed from tbe scrutiny of General Von. Moltke. Most of the account? of it reached him only through the Northern channels: and therefore, he did not know as much about it as some of us who have net his capaci ties for military cri'icism. General Von Moltke may not know tbat in the two buttles of Manassas aud the two battles of Cold Harbor, the most remarkable illustration was given of tbe superiority of Southern soldiers aud Southern generals. About two years of battles intervened between ;bese pairs of Southern victories 1 11 the "r ir.-t M iuasses" our army under Joe Johustou numbered 37,000 men The Fe.lernl army under McDowell, num bcred.53.000 men.

From four different points in the State at which tbe negro party made its gains in tne recent election, we have seeming- y wen authenticated accounts of "coloni sation, tbat is to say. the accounts for the importation ot men for tbe sole pur pose or voting and with no real coroose of bona fide residence. Those points are Brunswick, Mecklenburg. Wake and wyne, and caused us a loss of nine dele gates. How easy this colonisation bnsineee can be carried on by a party with such a majority and corrupt people in its ranks. as the negroes are well known to he, and with money at its command aay man ean understand when he remembers that the Constitution as it now stands requires only thirty days residence in a conn ty to enable a mau to register and vote. A hundred or two additional hands engaged in work tor or upon a jjailroad or in any other employment at an might esily turn tne scale in many counties. Tbat the result of the recent election was due in part at least, to sueh fraudulent voting, there can be no doubt. The Radical par ty has not ouly tbe will bnt the men and the money for soeh work and tbe nreeent Constitution permits it to be done. Such work ought not to be done, and therefore we favor the proposition to change tbe Constitution so that twelve mouths shell elapse after a man begins hie residence in a county before he shall be permitted to vote. If this be done it will effeetnallv prevent colonisation. A second safeguard is to require every voter wben challenged to establish his right to vote by the testimony of witness es known to the judges. Of tbe electiou to bu credible. If a man bas lived in a county twelve months and during tbat time b a e associated only with peo ple who cannot be believed on oath, we do not hesitate to say that he ought not be permitted to vote. Another safe guard is to prevent any mau who has been convieied of an infam ous crime Irom voting. No thief nor for ger or perjmer ought to be permitted to exercise the great right of anffrage. It is indeed true that tbe Radical party de mand thai lying and stealing shall be no bar to suffiage. A man may steal, bu may for swear himself, aud he m iy forge hi neigh bors name but yet in Radical esteem his vote for all that. What a coinmeutary upon the morals of a parly is it tbat it lis suoaid oecome indignant when it is usfced that the law may proclaim that a mau should both steal and vote ? Yet sueh ia the spectacle we have presented to ns in North Carolina to day in the altitude of the Radical party. We are in favor therefore of changing the Constitution so that it shall uo longer declare that though a man steal yet shall he vole also : so that it require a residence of a year before voting, and o that wln-u challenged he shall be required to prove by credible witnesses hi right to vote. When these changes have been made we of the east will have some assur ance of fair elections. As it is we are at the mercy of a corrupt party with men and means to accomplish their ends. Wil.

Last Saturday, about saddown, four miles east of this plaoe, on Bilozi bay oseurted a scene calculated to send a thrill of horror through every human heart, and to make even the boldest tremble with fear. Two little girls, daughter of Mr. Elatn R. Black welt, living on the back br of Biloxi. while battling iu the bay, immediately in front of his dwelling, were attacked by an enormous alligator. Tbe oldest, a girl of about seven year of age, was holding the youngest, an infant of two years, ia her bauds, aud was quietly enjoying her bath, when suddenly her little Mater was snatched from her and borne swiftly from tbe shore. Terrified beyond ineaeure. aad unable to render any assistance to her unfortunate sister, the elder girl UTTERED A SCREAM. a trifling matter of business; but when he ; back to Grenada by (x rant's army, which Davis were instantly killed and thrown opened the door a stranger stood before bim.

He took it listlessly enough, but as he glanced over it bis eoutenanae ebanged. 'I don't understand said he; aad no wouder, for tbe deed was made oat in his own name. 'So you, too, have forgotten me, a well as tbe big landlord up there but reabe yon will remember tlial,' and she held out a queer little purse of netted silk. John Mallory fixed his startled gase upon her face, and something in the lus trous eyes, tbe smiling m uth, touched a long-silent chord of memory. She saw it, and, answering bis look, said; Estelle LeKoy, and tbe rere outnumbered his. turned tbe command aom f.rf v feet (mm where thaw over to the next general in rank, took all struck; Stf rrit received a horrible gash the cavalry (about 2,000 horseman) and across the forehead and was rendered In- I Jk - nil rm I . - iu wem in person to uouy Springs, sensible.
