Poor fellow, he haddisstpatc4 by far-too much for, the last year;. had spent' nearly all! his money, and now lay prostrated on his sick bed at the house of his grancl-motKerl He had been sick and confined to bis bedsome three weeksr and the frequenters of-the -tavern qf-the idMJfy -ferJddnUU at &richortoT$&ffij resbndJ 8atifiecfith tftispan'd'tiiahy the .hwUhaMsh 'of atisfacTr6n one, both landlord and visitors ex- pressed the wish that he might soon recover, for what, reader? bnt that they might complete the work thej- bad nearly done, viz t draw from him the last cent. Not for the enjoyment of his society al together, did they wish him well, but for the few remainining dollars in his pocket. The 'setters' got many a dime from the same fallen Fred Lincoln. - Some two years previous to the Lpresent, be explained how the fear-1 fiul rencontre with the ferocipAS beast came to pass. He had as we; SAirmised,; taken the hare from a I trap, and was approaching the ship with it after about two hours ab sence, when he was seized in an instant by a large white bear-which had crouched behind a piece of rock so he did-not see it till he was with in its -terrible embrace. Being an exceedingly powerful man he fought aesneratelv tor lite, but lie could ; not release himself from the beast, 'which hngged him till -he felt and ; even heard his rjbs crack, one after ; -the other, and the blood began to spurt from his ears nose and mouth. The bear- never attempted to bite him but merely to squeeze him to death. When it firt attacked him it did so" by rearing upright on his hind feet, andjie thought the strug gle must have lastedfull five minr utes ere he fell to the- ground and the bear a ton of him without rcr leasing Its hold. By the fall he managed to disengoge. bis right I arm, and tried to un tackle the axe from his belt, but could not do' so in' the position in which he lay. -lie now felt his arm break in two places, and the h nd claws of the brute we rending his thighs. Kc collectTng his clasp-knife ho got it it ont of his pocket, and opening it with hi teth he stabbed the crea ture in botli eyes, and the agony caused-it to instantly let- go its hold, and roll over with hideous hoTls. He sprang to his feet, seiz ed his axe, and with an exepiring effort drove it into the skull of his blinded foe. This done he stagger ed backwards', and falling on the snow became at. once insensible, ar.d continued so until brought to the forecastle. j 1 On exami nation I found his wound truly frightful. Every rib on the left side was smashed. The four lower ribs on the right side were also fractured, and so was the left arm in two places. The muscular parts of hrs thighs we laterally. ploughed up by by tlie beast's hind er claws. I "was certain he could not survive,-and he! knew it per fectly well. All that we conld do for him was done-, but. even had a first rate surgeon, with every medical appliace, been on the spot his life could not have-been saved. The only marvel was that he had not died upon . the held oi conflict He breathed wi.h '.great difficulty and I . have no doubt that his left ribs yere pressed hard upon his lungs on that side. ? lie bore his horrible sufferings 'with amazing fortitude sternly repressing his groans, and even uttering some of hit quaint joko. Oriaha wept over iim as she snp pbrted his head and wiped the froth fronhis lips, for he was a great favorite of hers,, and she justly deeme"U him one of the chief instru ments, under God,) of preserving her during the mutiny. Had he not acted as he did on that occasion I musthave. perished like my uncle and she would have met a fato a thousand fold worse than death. My griefat beholding him expiring thus was as intense as hers. He asked for some rum: and drank it. ,Then he could speak more distinct ly, and addressing Oriana, cried 'Ma'am, I can't gef aloft, d'ye see, till you forgiyes mje,' . .' - F6rgive you ! .; I ; hare nothing to forgive.' j , 'Yes, 'yon have, ma'am, split me. You're an angel, and I was a wick ed, ungrtcfui brute, for I killed I your little dog, and 'Don't talk of dat I don, t care for a thousand dogs,' sobbed she. 'Then you forgive; me, ma'am? ixi E lugexce; 'Yes, dear Jim, ye. (God bless you, ma'am, and and God forgive me ; all royralsdoings !

'I will, sweet lady," if ever I can Farewell!': And after raising the hand qf'lvliss Stetson to his lips and pre.sisg one kis? thereon, he turn ed from the spot, while she watch ed his form until it was lost from her view, when she. entered the t house to change her habit for a betT ter ami arver one. Fred arrived on the ground when; the pic nic wtts just breaking - up and getting ready for returning home. Tlrat night he -dreamed of notli--ing but the lady he parted with a few hours since. J Time and time again he had been to the house of the lardy Stetson,; until the arisfocratic and wealthy. Mr. Stephen Stetson, began to sus pect.that an intimacy was spring, injj up between themy. that 'would ripen. ijn to idoyenthJ; ho would be asked to bestow ttpon the poor man the hand of his daughter Julia. And now, he had openly told him to visit his -house ncf more, and even ordered the plebeah as he call ed Fred, from his house.- Poor Ju lia fell on her father's breast and besought him to forbear, but .ho ! die. was still stronger in his deter- mmation, for that proved conclu sively to him that he the only course under stances which would had adopted the cireum answer his purposes. Fred Lincoln then rash ed madly from the boqse,and stop- pcu not un ne reacneu vnu uuusu ui his grandmother. j Day after day Fred grew, more and more gloomy, an(i finally, as the "boj-s of tho town' said he wanted nothing but p. couple of 'beverages' per day, hp drank- apd continued to drink for a whole jTcar at the expiration of which time, "we find him as we stated vt the Com-; mencement of this sketch, sick, on the bed at his grandmother's house. One evening, about, nine o'clock, a carriage drew up at the door, and the next minute a light knock came upon the ears'of Fred, who was get ting better, and his grandmother went immediately to thodoor, when a voice asked , ' 'Does Frederick Lincoln live here Is he. sick, that is within this house?' . 'He. is, poor Fred. Wont you come 'ip and see him ?j. lie don't look much-as he used to.' It was a young lady who enter tere(i. followed by a young man of .. ..1 . .'1 1M1 I I . J il..-'l.

You cannot go thjpngh Massa- cnusetts and recrnt Jien to hom bard Charleston and jjTew Orleans. The Northern mind nil not bear it. j You never can fjnake. such a war popular.

Instead conquering Charleston, you crcatp a Charles top in New England. You stir up sympathy for the So&lh. therefore it seems3 to mo that the inauguration of 3Tar is not on ly a violation of prir-piple, but it is a violation of expediency. To 'be for-dsunioniiu Boston is to be an abolitionist, o be against disunion is to be an &olitiohist to daj' in the streets of )harleston.
