,A fearful; shriek escaped Theodore, as
he turned round his head. A lady was
standing there, pale nnd motionless, in the
halfoUcurityi fb.e chamber. Thi? lady
was dressed m buck, with so distinguished
an, a ir, and so elegantly attired, that, after
having recognised her, Theodore began to
doubt that U could be Janetio.
' Do you not know me V said the same
voice, -which thrilled through Theodore's
whole frame.
i ' Janet te,; cried Theodore, with a shriek
of joy. 'Is it indeed you, Janette? Or am
I not rather the sport of a dream or halluci
nation ? But no I see you before, I touch
vour garments. Happiness unlookcd for !
But 141 ine how all this occurred V
1 1 saw you by mere chance, and at once
recognized you. I followed you, nrtd after
seeing that you had entered this house, I
leisurely pursued the same way, and arrived
just in time to hear you accuse me of in
gr.it it udc.'
Theodore threw himself at the fi'ct of Ja
net te.
'Oh 1 pardon, pardon,' he cried in a tone
full of repentance. ' How could I have
doubted your heart? Ungrateful that I am.'
Overcome by the intensity of his emotion,
he covered his face with his handkerchief,
and wept unrestrainedly.
' Be calm, Theodore" said Janeitc. ' I
forgive you from my heart.'
' Thanks, dear Jaiicltc, thanks. I find
you as good as you are beautiful. Ah!
there arc moments of intense happiness
that are worth a whole life, and I should
now die, if one could die c.f joy.'
' Live, nnd be happy, cousin,' said Jn
nettc, with a charming smile. Mv mother
will be delighted to sec you, and t have al
ways cherished your devotion, which cer
tainly merits reward, and the future seems
to offer us her choicest happiness.'
, ' What mean you ? saulhevitli atton

, ' You are free ! Oh ' do you still love

exquisite grace. 1 Who, then, do I love, if

. 'Well, then, come.' said she leading him
forth, 'come and embrace your aunt, or, if
jqu prefer it, your mother, who has already
despaired of ever seeing you again.'
In a few months Thoodore and Janette
were united. The day of their marriage
they visited .the .tomb of Vnrnier, whose last
instructions of Janctte were.

AS WE EXPECTED.
We see the North Carolina Standard is
getting up an -'isiiiv'" out of the affair relative
to Lieutenants Single taiiy and Pf.nder. and
a great political humbug is to be made up, to
operate on the ensuing election in this State.

1 think the Colonel is well deserving of hav

in a Mexican Colonel's uniform, epaulets,
cocked hat and all. One of tins Hangers
had dressed himscl! in the unilorm. and it

terest. nd!r:;ssed by ihc Mexican Government
to the different States of thc Republic. It h
from El Genio de la Libertad;
Provisional Presidency of the Hciicuu Republic.
CIRCULAR.
Must Excellent Sir Compelled by a sa
cred duty imposed upon me by the Constitu
tion, and of my compliance with which 1 must
gi.e an account to God and my country, 1
have decided to commence the exercise of the
Executive power of the Republic, to organize
a Government which sh.ill be the centre ol
the Mationni Union, and which shall free Mex
ico from the anarchy which threatens her. -The
invader, without doubt, sees with sur
prise how much his projects nf occupation
and conquest are aided by thc stale of conf u
sion in which the country is found, and by the
general state of disorder to which public af
fairs are reduced. 1 do not wish that it should
ever be said by my fellow-citizens, or even
by the foreign friends of Mexico, that my ir
resolution and cowardice had left the nation
abandoned to its destinies, and that 1 alone
was responsible liir thc fate which awaited it.
if a Constitutional authority shall not tighten
the bauds, now almost deservcred, which league
the States of the Republic together, and
which may even yet form of them a respecta
ble a:d powerful nation. I believe that with
out in the least degree failing in any of the
requisites of the ( '(instit ution 1 can unmedinte
lv take upon myself the Executive power. -But
even win n'some of the Constitutional re
quisites cannot by me be vigorously com
plied with, because circumstances render it
imp
lossitiic. I would consider invscn uohjm

an administration absolutely unconstitutional
and revolutionary, but by organising the
Government in a manner as much in confor
mity with the Constitution as possible.
These are my principles, and 1 Hatter my
self that they are also yours; but I at-sert
coiHcientiously that I have not the least doubt,
that I can and ought conscientiously to exer
cise the supreme Executive power of the na
tion by my self, without awaiting the meeting
of Congress, or of the council of Govern
ment or the nomination of nsbociates.
This resolution of installing myself in the
Government may perhaps gain me the hatred
of some faction which may arise amid the
liloody nuns ol the Henuiuic, to lerociousiv

I made a very short stay in Ilou -don, when
I sallied forth over the prairies on my way
here. The most, indeed 1 might say all the
way here, is a prarie. of the most barren and
unproductive kind, till you strike the lha.o
bottom some 10 milcH from here ; then you
find some fine cotton lauds. One part of the
prairie is 22 miles, wi'houtnny water for eith
er man or beast; luckily an old friend,
whom I met in Houston, gave ine a hint of
this, and lie armed ine with three hollies
one of water and two of hrandv. 1 learned
the use of them all before. I got through, and
appreciated my friend's kindly offices. I paid
him foi all with a Weekly Delta, and then he
thought hiiriKelfin my debt, but I refused to
receive any thing more.
I stop at the first house in the place, the
Washington. The house seemed quite oi l,
and yet it appeared to me not rutin ly finish
ed, lor the room in which I slept had no door
to it, and only four beds. Myself' and one of
the present candidates fur Governor, who is
on an electioneering tour, were about the o.i
Iv occupants during my time.
Speaking of candidate I must ;ive you a
small sketch of those in thu field Van andt,
Wood, Dr. Miller, Robinson and (Sen. Dar
nell, 'flic lir.-d, who was a man of talent, and
who had the brightest prospect for being Go
vernor, broke 1 1 i 1 1 1 -s If down electioneering,
and wn taken sick and died in Houston the

seems to be no question of whig or democrat
among them : they are only plit by local
questions and measures. Some of ihc candi
dates go (or a division of the State at fAi
! sion, so as to get more rrprcsenUitivcsiii Cou-
gress ; while others contend that it h too soon
' to divide. Olhcr-? arc for a penitentiary, an 1

the citizens against a penitentiary they say

it should be hung or branded ; they contend

the navigation of the llrazos this far up, but
1 crossed in a flat about six miles from here,
and have viewed its banks a little in this neigh
borhood, and I think it is the worst looking
navigable stream you ever saw. This is all
or about nil I have seen in Texas so far. I
think if I stay here much longer I will be a
HARD CASE.

A writer in thc Nashville Christian Advocate,
in a letter addressed to Rev. Dr. Elliott, of
Cincinnati, threatens, if tho General Confer
ence ol' the Northern Methodist Church
should rrlu.-e to divide thr proper! with
the Church South, that a suit of chancery
j may be thc result. And should tht! Court
, require the North to settle with the South on
$150,000, in annual instalments of &-JV00O
each. Should thc ( 'ourt disregard the plan
of separation, and decide upon thc principles
of general equity, it will require the Norlh
i ern Hook Room to pay over iK once a sum
equal to S:!.'0.000 more or less.

American Cannibalism.
At the mectinir
of the Academy of Arts and Sciunces of the
27 th ult., Prof. Shepherd, who has lately spent
some time in exploring the mining regions on
the shores of Lake Superior, related on in
stance of the most horrible Cannibalism a
mong the Ojibbeway tribe of Indians on the
north shore of the Lake. He frecmeritly pas
sed on foot, alone and unarmed, by the. but of
an Indian, who had killed and eaten his wife,
mid two children. Tho personal appearance
, id tin: savage monster, as might naturally be
-i i i -ii i , ,
supposed, was norriuic neyonii description.
He also related an instance of parricide
among the same tribe, of the most heart-rending
character : Tho parents of no Indian had
become old. infirm and incapable of support
ing themselves. Therefore, the son took
them into a boat, with his gun loaded, rowed
them out into the lake, shot the father and
threw him overboard, the astonished mother
