A coirespondent of the New Orleans Times tells the following singular story: "Not many months ago, ta a gantleman was about to pluDgo into a forest stream for a pleasant bath, ho saw far doAva ou the pebbly bottom a terrible simulacrum of himself lifeless limbs swaying with the tide, a white, drowned face, with staring eyes and blue lip?. It was but aeeoond, jcd iho vision faded,s"and with a cold shiver he turned away. A Uvr weeks ago came the news of his death. He fell from tbe deck of a vessel one stormy Eight in crossing the Atlantic." Carpet-Uaggers and Settler, We observe that ex Gov. Humphreys c Mississippi has been interviewed by a New York Herald reporter, aEd are ttruek with what he is reported as saving about the disposition of the Southern people to wards Northern men who come amonj them. He makes the distinction between the mercenary carpet bagger and the boa est settler, which all right-minded South ern people make, and which seems so diHI cult for Northern people to understand. Hi? Jaogcaga i3 forcible and clear. Here is what he tajs: "How can the poopta cf the North ex pect that the 'embtrs of ihe rebellion' will ever be quenched as long as they pile that foal mass of 'driftwood' from the Ncr;h known ftQ rnTipt.di iftrprp. on thfijfif rnhnrf.? Wrhlraw tnat 'driftwood' ana restore local telf-government to tho people of the South is all that is needed to qutcch the embers of rebellion foiever. "You speak, Governor, cf the hatrtd of Northern men toward tho South. Is there not an intensified hatred still existing with the Southern people for the people of the North ?" "The Suti'hera people, sir, Imto the ccrpet-bag official because he is meao, c r rup:', low; ho comes nere to fatten on the spoils of his ( like, and not to li?e among acd be ono of n.

" Mo, fir," ho said, "I do not think there Las ever ben such a thing as a gen er 1 organization, nor do I beiieve thero ha ever b en aa organiaitioa of the kied at all. A f .:w lawless men now and thea I arid themselves temporarily together una commit those ou'rages, but there is no org niz itic'j."

While tlae eulito city v.-aa engaged yes tcrdy af:c.-noon in its ast sad duty to the deed Com. Tattnafs funeral a tragedy avai being acted out, the factdof which are horrifvicg, and almost too terrible to bo dwelt upon. Ames Nickesjo, tho keeper, of the American Restaurant, oa Bryan ttreet, west of Whittaker, iu a fit of jealousy, hacked hi wife, Elizabeth, to pitccf, and then cutting his own th;oat, jumped into tho river and was drowned. For the past fcix lEonths doroesTio wrangles and diller ences have taken rcot ia the famiiy of Nickerscu, and it may be interesting to go back nf oa the rect-r-3, r.rd trace up ihe ht art-burnings and jealotijie? that ca'mi nated so fattally yeslerdiy. Nicktr on, who w s about 15 years of age at tho timo of hia death, was a native of Ireland, but long exposure as a seaman tanned him to that hue which led msny to accept him os a Portuguese or Icalian. Arriving ia this city a few 3reais before the war, ho buried Lis first wife, and en gaged iu blockading, returning, however, to Savannah, where he married his present wife Elizibeth. With honesty end indus try iu L is favor, he led with her an ap parently peaceful and contented life. Latterly, Nickeron started a restau rant in the market, and subsequently opened en eating-house and a bar on Brjan s reet, nearly opposite the market, known &s the American Restau rant. At '.his point domestic troubles commenced, and jealousies were born that proved to be the forerunners tf ulti mate ruin and death to one, if not to both, of the interested parties. Mrs. Nickerson, who is about twenty five years cf age, rather good-looking and vivacious ia her disposition, became a favorite with the boarders, aud it was not uncommon for her to indulgj in repartee and conversation With tbem to su?h an extent as to awaken a morbid jealousy iu the mind of her hus band, who gave evidence of the feeling iu his quick tempei and increased devotion to drink. His wifa was compslled to flj from him oh teveral occasions, when his desperate conduct induced her to believe he would kill her. His jealcnsy became so de3p-seated that ho lefc town for Chicago with seven hundred dollars, which amount ho soon ran through with, and returned to Savannah, His wife, although conducting the basir:es3 during his absence, had in the meantime applied to the Cuurt of Ordin ary, and obtained aa exemption of person ality, enabling her to do business as a free trader. This bet added fuel to the flame, and a domestic difficulty ensued, which necessitated his arreit and" the issuing ci a peace bond. Thus matters stood until about six weeks 20, on Sunday morning, when frenzied with liquor, he committed aa aggravated assault on the woman, afterwards destroy ing several hundred dollars'' worth of crockery, besides tbe bar uteneila. Wi w HaviDg been released, he has been drink ing without cessation ever since. As to what Jo 1 to the occurrence of yesterday, we have only the testimony of the living," and will give it, leivicg our readers to draw their own conclusion?. About 4 o'clock yes'erday afternoon wo heard tnat a man, apparently .wild with rage, was forcibly entering houses, break ing ia doors, and jumping through win dows iu that portion of the city east of East Boundary street, and that ho had fired several shots. An hoar later, while endeavoring to fer t out the particulars cf this report, wo heard that a man bal at'empted to kill bis wife acd then had cat his own throat and drowned himself. Further research de veloped the fact that this was tbe same party who li3d figured in the eastern rart yf the city, as report says, in search of his wife, who had gone into a house of qaes Monat la character. Determined to get the mi state ot nllairs as nearly as possible, we vi:ied tne houte. and learned from a whit. dorcestic tLat Mr?. Nickerson had accompanied her yesterday afternoon on a visit to her house m the eastern part cf the ci'y, wuere, at 51 rs. NiCKerson s request, they sent ont for beer, and were drink ing it when she heard the neighborhood aroasel by fhe report that a man was at tempting to gain forcible entry iato the house. The domestic cays she at ncca iu formei Mrs. Nickerson that it most ba her husband, when they both started home. Ou reaching tho ho'usa by way of the gate ! cn Bay Jane the domestic proceeded ahead into the house, Mrs. Nickerson teing met by Nickerson, who had also come up Bay laue from the directiou of Barnard. street. On confronting each other in the door, both entering tbe kitchen, Nicker?on so a colored fervant siys seemed to smile ard S7, " So you have come heme, have you?' She replied, "Yes, and what of it ?" Nickerson then immediately grasped her aud throw h?r upon the floor of the kitchen, and drawing a sheath knife, attempted to kill her. The blade, which was about eix incuts ia length, did not seem to perform its work quick enough, 33 it was throwa to the floor, Jhe biada breaking in two. Nicker soa then seized a batchet and struck ncr rs blows iu the bead, crushing the skull. He took hold of the finger of his wife that had her wedding ring on, aid attempted to S3vtr it from the hand. In -her strug gles the blow did not come with its intend ed force, but sufficiently so aa to leave the linger dangling from the hand. The scioam? of Mrs. Nickerson eoon attracted the attention of a policeman, Nickerson in tl,c mo ntime dragging her from thekitch ea to the Jane. Nickerson fied in the di rection of tho Exchange, and passing down the hill, staggered towards the dock, from whence he a3 saen to jump n board the schooner Margaret Ann, pull off his coat, and plunge into the river, giving his throat a desperate cut with some instrument as he was falling. The body was immediately searched for by thosa who had witnessed the act, and ia half an hour after it was brought to tho surfaca by Thomas V. Williams, a fisher man, with a hook. The suicide was taken out cf the water and (.laced on the wharf, where it was viewed by hundreds, the news of tho occurrence having spread like wile fi e. Upon examination of the throe, t it wai found that, though there wero two severe gashep, the jugular vein had not been severed, and that his death had been caused from drowning, t'ae jury rendering a verdict to that effect. Upon the fore head and bead of Nickerson was found an indentation, as if produced with a blunt instrument, which wo afterwards learned from the colored domestic, was caused by chopping himself with the axe after it had flown off from the handle. Had not the axe became disengaged, tho colored girl says Nickerson would have killed his wife before he fled. Oflicer Kaafmaa took charge of Mrf. Nickerson, aud cssisted in taking her to her room, when medical assistance was procured. Although badly injured, and saffiiring terribly, Mrs. Nickerson was alive la?t night, and, by careful attention, may recover. As tliere was, seemingly, no desire to have tho body of tho suicide conveyed to his former home, it was bu ried by the ooroner aft3r the inquest. Vellttntllgliam Ilia La. at Law Case. Iho McGehan murder trial, tho case in which the Hon. C. Vallandigham was engaged as counsel at the time cf his death, has created great interest in South era Ohio, on account of certain political relations, and because it involved the ex posure of many proiuinent men of Hamil ton, Ohio, as frequenters of a faro den. On the night of Dec. 24, Thomas Meyers, a republican, was shot, a? alleged, in a gambling saloon, by one cf a party of five men, who, according to tho indictment, entered tho place with intent to commit the murder and aeccrdirjg to a preconcert ed conspiracy.

TUC DADC nC UC AWCM I rlC DMDC Ur nCMvClf 1 The following beautifal story olo of cue sweetest ana most touching 'we ever read was published in tho "Christian Observer" nearly 2wo years ago. Bs t tire to read it : "Does you love God ?' The question came from a aweet pair of nps. opposite sat a young gerit.emaa of striking exterior. He and the child were traveling in a stage coacb. Tho latter sat on her mother's knee. Her little face. beautiful beyond description, looked out from a frame of delicate frame work. For four hours the coach had been toiling on over an unequal road; and the child had been very winning in her little ways liep ing conga, lifting her bright blue eyes to her mother's face, then falling back, ia a little, old fashioned, contented way, into her mother's arms, sajing, by the mute action, "I am happy hero." For more than an hour tho dear bibe, scarce yet entering the rosy threshold of her fifth year, had been answering tho smiles of the youDg man, who had been pleased with her beauty. He had nodded bis head to her little tunes; he bad offered her his pearl-handled pen-knife to play with; aud at lest his heart went over to her at every glance. The mild blue eyes, fall cf the innocence of a holy love and a trusting faith, made his leap with a purer joy; and, as the coach rattled on he began to wish the end of the journey not so very nar. The child had been sitting for tho last fifteen minutes regarding tho young man with a glance that almost seemed solemn ; neither smiling at his caresses nor at the dear face that bent over her. A thoughtfulne si seemed to spread over the young brow that had never yet been shadowed by care ; and as the coach stop ped at the inn door, and the passengers moved uneasily, preparatory to leaving, she bent towards the young man and lisp ed, in her childish voice, there words : " Does you love God ?" He did not understand at first in the con fusion, and bent over nearer ; and tho voice asked again, clearly, almost eagerly, " Does you love Gcd ?" tho thoughtful, inquiring eyes, meantime, beaming into his own. The young man drew bzck hastily, blush ing up to the very roots of his hair. He looked in a sort of confused, abrupt way at the child, who, frightened at his man ner, had hidden her face in her mother's bosom, turned to the coach door, gave an other look back as if he longed'to eeo her face, and then he left tho coach. He hurried to his hotel, but the little voice went with him. There seemed an echo in his heart, constantly repeating the question of the child, " Does you love God ?" Several gay voting men met him at his hotel. They appeared to have been wait ing for him. and welcomed him with mirth that was almost boisterous. They had prepared an elegant supper, and after he had been to his room, escorted him to tbe table. Tho full gleam of the gas fell upon the glistening furniture; red wines threw shadows of a lustrous crimson hue athwart tho snowy linen. There was mirth, wit, faces lit with pleasnro everything to charm the eye and please the palate ! but the young man was conscious of a void never experienced before. His heart ached to see the child again,and ever and anon he seemed to hear the words, "Does you love Gcd ?" His name was Gilbert. Only twenty three years of age, he was a good scholar esteemed by his friends a genius. Already he had made his mark as a writer ; but he had never thought, as he thought to night, on the solemn import of the question, " Does you love God ?" It came to him when be held the red wine to his lips' ; it was hoard among the clatter of the billiard balls, and the shouts of merry laughter that filled the wide room everywhere. Which ever way he turned, he saw the earnest glance of tho blue yed child, heard the low voice sing ing, the low voice laughing, the low voice asking thrillingly, "Does you love God V" It followed him to his bedaide. He had tried to drown it in wine, in song, in care less levity. He strove to sleep it away, but he heard it in his dreams. Tbe next night he met a fashionable friend. He was to fake her to some place of pleasure. She was very beautiful in dazzling robes. The gleam of pearls and the luftre of silk and lace vied with each other to enhance her loveliness; but oven as she came sailing into the room with smiles upon her red young lips, and a wel come in her words, there came, too, float ing noiselessly at her side, the presence of that angel child. The better feelings her innocent preeenco awakened wero yet warm ; and, before he know it, the young man eaid, quickly and earnestly, "Dots ycu love God ?'' "What do you mean ?:' oxolaimsd tho young girl, with a start of surprise. "I was thinking, as you came in, of a lovely child I saw yesterday," he replied. "As I was in tho act of leaving the coach, she suddenly looked up and asked me that question." "And what, pray, put it in the child's head ? What did you answer ?" "I am ashamed to say I was not pre pared with an answer," replied the young man, casting down his eyes. That night pleasure had no gratification for him'. His feet trod languidly the mazes of the dance ; his smiles were forced; arid more than once it was said of bim, "He does not seem himself." No, he was cot like tbe gay, thoughtless eelf of former years. There was a still pool lying in his bosom, the waters of which had never before been disturbed. Now a little child had dropped a pebble ia it, and the vibration was to go on through eternity. Dust-soiled and travel-weary, a thoughtful- man walked through tho principal street of a large Western city. As he walked on, apparently absorbed in his own meditation, his eye suddenly encountered a faca looking down from a window of a hardoome bouse. His whole countenance suddenly altered. He paused an instant, looking eagerly at the window ; . and in another moment his hand was on the bell handle. He was ushered into tbe very room where sat the lady o'f the home. : "Yoa will pardon my intrusion," he paid, "but I could not pass by after seeing joa accidentally at the window. I have never forgotten you nor your Jittle girl, who, five years ago, in a s. age-coach, put to me the artless questioo, 'Does ycu hvo God?'. Do you remember ?" "I think I do," eiid the lady, smilingly, "from the circumstance that you seemed So much startled and confused; but my dear'child asked almost every person with whom we met that or similar questions." "Her innocent face ia engraved on my heart," said the young man, with much lemotiou. "Never, since that day, Lavel ! been tempted to do that which my con- science wouia nos sanction Dut tne ear nest, 6crioua gaze with whioh she regard ed mo beforo she asked mo that question, has come to my mind. Would she remem ber me, do yoa think ? Absurd thought I of course eho would not. Bat 1 should - K. - R. Z remember her anywhere, under any cir cumstances. Can I not see her, madam ? Ia hhe nol at hom9 with yotr? Hong to take her in my arms, and hear once moire the voice that God baa used to draw my heart to him." Strange that, in Lis eagerness, he did . not notice that paling cheek, the quiver of the mother's lip3, the sudden placing of her hand agjinst her heart. Strange, also. . - that he did not mark the absence of nat-1. . ering feet, of little gentla indications that;; a child s lingers had ben Busy in ther y room about him. Suddenly, as ha ceased speaking, there came over him a startling consciousness. ue taw tho tear-stained cheek turned to ward the window : he noticed the gar ments of sombre hue ; fie heard the silence reigning within. " Madam is the child ? ' " She is ia heaven," came low and brok enly from tho trembling lips. The young man sank back on his seat, gitated, dumb sorrowfal that ho bad o rudely torn open the still bleeding wound iu that womanly breast. "This is cat tidiDt'3." ho said, after a long pause, aud his voica was troubled. " Dear lvttlo angel 1 she ia, then speaking to me from the grave." The mother arose and beckoned him to follow her. In - littlo hallowed chamber eho went, where, in a case, were the books tho child loved, her Bible, her beautiful rewards, her childish tojs. " Threre, paid the mother, now quito broken down, and eobbinc as eho snoko. " there is all that is left on earth of pre cious Nettie." "No, madam ; that is not all that is left; I am a monument of God's meroy, made so through her holy influence. Before the asked m3 that question cn that eventful day, my mind was a chaos of doubts, of bawildeiing and conflicting errors. I bad dared to question tho existence of an Al mighty Creator. I had defyingly thrown my taunts at him who, in great forbear ance, has forgiven me. My innuence lor - evil was unlimited ; because men - looked up to me, and choso mo for their leader; I was going the downward path, grouping blindly in a labyrinth of error, and drag ging others with mo. Madam, by this time I might havo been a debauchee, a liber tine, a God-defying wretch, but for her unlooked for question, " IJooa you love God?" ' "Oh that voice ! that look ! '. that almost . A infinite sorrow 1 that Hivine pity that, ' through her, glanced into my soul 1 'Mad am, the3o tears bear witno4s that your child left moro than precious dust and. perishirjgs tojs." Utterly broken down the strong man wept like a child. All he said was true ; for ho held the hearts of men in his hands. In genius he was ono of tho strong ones of tbe earth; and all that powerful mind was engaged in eprediug the tidings of man's salvation through Jesus Christ. "Oh! littlo children do a mighty work." Reader, in tho sweet accents of that babe of Heaven, ia there not a' voice in 'your heart asking, "Does you love Gad ?" Mr. Vallandlgliain.
