CHAPTER III, It is very easy now to understand the em barrassment of Victor at the appearance of Mr, Benn. Indeed surprise constituted a considerable part of his emotion. Victor could not. for the lite of him," understand how the odious creditor had, afttr his long . ab sence come to the knowledge of his immedi ate return, and his very residence; and his subterfuge of announcing himself as his best friend was little calculated o. give him an 'assurance thereof. j On the other hand Mr. de Corvelles was still under the sweet jiiflucnpe of osa direar my thoughts, that oepupied his soul at the foot of the Pyrenees; und of those 'dulcet hopes with which the lova of Miss Auyrqy had'iuspired his heart. Although he had not yet de,em,ed it oppor tune to ask that final, important and difficult question, whose answer-! involves so much happiness or misery; yef, from the happiness which Miss Auvrey seemed to experience in his company; her lovely eyes radiating, as jt were, towards him; the. bright rays that streamed from her bosom's jove, and the pure tender alTections of her artless angel ic aiul gushing forth thrqqgh every pore of bcr fascinating countenance rind from the important service rendered to her father, he had reason to hope that on o:ne future day Jn happiness would be consqrnnr,ated in be coming her sworn devotedprotector Jrom.the jvorld's rude assaults -her inseparable com panion through the thorny paths of life her jiearcst, dearest, most sincere friend; in one ivon, her husVand. Now, the apparauon of the usurer, riotqnjy fecal led to his mind those cares and troubles from whose distracting influence l.e once strove to escape by his flight from Paris and his tour through Europe but also threatened an inevitable outbreak with the austere mer chant. r- Nevertheless, after endeavoring to banish from his mind Jus first trodble.

Mr. Benn. who had been for some time past, statue like, and plunged jti a kind of emcy af sight of the young man, look ed nil at once, as if lie Tiud operienced an ecleclric shock, and extending his arms to ward Victor so straight as to leave half of thera exposed: the sleeves of his old coat be ing too shorf. ' - . Ah! Victor, how glad I am to see you 1 You are very kind, M;r. Benn, please be ealcj. i- Oh I thank you, thank you, I am not fa tigued. Permit me raider (o gaze on you at myea3e. How fresh and well you look! your health is good, is it not ? Excellent, Mr. Benn. How delighted I am ! Ah ! yo ir absence caused me great uneasiness ! To go ofF thus without seeiug anybody and to remain way two years without sending us any ac count? Do vou know that T thought vou 'rere dead ? Poor Mr. Benn ! You can therefore imagine my joy, when I saw you jasstng byln a post-chase, as I ,was loiter- lnKbythc shops in St. Housrius, -Street. At first my intense emotion was near prostra- flT mft hilt mir n .( U nnr. T hot off like an arrow in pursuit of your carriage.! Ah! I have run hard, but a length I gud you ; at length I see you again. I am satisfied, now I am happy ; all my THeties, 1 my fatrues are forgotten. Ashe whs pronouncing these last words 1 wiped away a tear and fixed on Victor a jk of admiration and tenderness. As to l H&r he had not yet recovered' from his How ! Mr. Benn, you .ran alter ray car- Tea sir; altho j'ou had three horses ! My eforyoa must have nerved and strength niy muscjes.

' Is your uncle still living aakedj he usu rer fixing stealthily at the same time a ear chin U.ok on the young man. Yes, to my grief ! ! ' i And doubtless you have not rajney enough to pay rse. j ' V' indeed I have not ! - I Well, well, no matter, ai;d he old man. encouragingly, a smile for the first time du ring the conversation, flitting over bis counte nance I- do not want you to pay me now ; any future time will do to arrange that busi pe?su . ' j , t Certaiidy Mr. Benn. ; I must go now ; good bye Victor I hope we shall see each other often. I shall be alyiys very happy to see you, Ir. Benn. , Should you ever at any time stand in need of any assistance within my power to render, d,o not I entreat you forget t6' call on me. " - I shall not Mr. Benn. Am I not your best friend ? ia he finis?h;d these vyords, he stretched his hand lo ihe young man, and j after having pressed his most tenderly and affectionately he withdrew. j Confound (yourself and your friendship murmured Victor as he closed the door aftefr. him. Hang me if I know what that old, mi- ser is about.! The conduct of Mr. Benn, particularly after the just motives of resntment he had against Victor was highly ; calculated to elicit the astonishment of, the latter ; but the desir! of- Gnl arp joipenetrabln, and never doeslie appe.ar more omnipotent in Iiis raira cles than when thro the gracious influence of his spirit, he transforms and mollifies the proud, obstinate, obdurate heart of man. Now behold how this wonderful metapho sis ol the Usurer was accomplished. The sudden disappearance of Victor plunged Mr. Be.nn fH first into a deep stupor ; tin's flight of his appeared to him a flagrant actjpf tad fiith : and sDoiled as he was b the hibit of , ' ' , . deceiving others, the crafty old man could not now forgive hjrrjgelf lor fyavmg been, this time, duped j in turn. i Formerlyj when they intended to punish a Knight guilty of felony, they hanged his esquire. Mr. Benn, to be avenged of the fugitive, made a generaj sweep of all his debtors, and sent them indiscriminately to Clichy, to an establishment fitted up there for such folks ; this was really murdering the innocent. But-this blind and ferocious hu mor was of short duration ; it was too ex pensive. Besides Mr. Benn had, in the in terim, time for reflection. - ' Indeed there-are some reckless men and giddy females to whom the elegant and bust ling Jifo.of ;cities ' is so necessary that they would sooner die than live otherwise. Now Victor was of this number ; it was then high ly probable, he would sooner or later return to fly around the fatal lamp of dissipation and pleasure, which, from the stern influence qf habit one can scarcely abandon, until the wings of passion are either scorched or con- conaumed. j It was then a question of tjqje and nothing else. ' Therefore," Arr. Benn. knowing this, waited patiently. However. Victor's absence. increasing beyond ill expectation, he could no longer doubt that his debtor had died and borne away with him to the tomb his six thousand crowns. Such precisely were the reflections ol Mr, Benn at the moment he recognised Mr. de Corvelles riding by in the post-chaise. It would be impossible to describe the change that took place in the old creditor, at the eiht of Victor; he instantly repudiated from his mind all the inexorable designs and the crafty intentions he had formed against him ; formerly the crudest of creditors, he now assumed, aa we have seen, the kindest and most affectionate demeanor towards Vic tor. Was not Victor, in effect, the truest representation of his credit 1 Were not the' thirty-thousand-francs so united to his exis- tence as to partake of all its changes and to undergo all the influences of its destiny? The debtor being sick, the thirty-thousand franes necessarily' underwent an incalculable depreciation, and he being dead, they were completely lost. V When Mr. Benn mei Mr. de Corvelles, the" thirty-thousand francs appeared, as it were fresh, rosy cheerfoj, anl healthy; how nec essary it was, then, to nourish such flourish-' ing health and to avoid every think that might affect it ! Besides, it was but an af fair of patience, and it would be always time enough to make that carefully cultiva ted 'garden return with usury the precious deposit confided toils bosom. 1 Unfortunately, Victor did not understand the motives of his creditor's conversion. He resolved therefore, to avail himself of those moments oi respite which the real or preten ded tenderness of Mr. Benn, seemed to prom ise, to put jnto effect that project which he had been for along time past, cherishing and maturing in his heart. This project, aseasi ly perceived., was to ask thehand of Miss Au vrey in marriage. JUNIUS. (To be Continued.) RAIL HQAD MEETING. StJMTERVlLLE, S. C, Thursdav. March 4th .1852.

We had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the citizens of Darlington District at the Court House on Tuesday of court week, for the puqose of expressing public sentiment in relation to the Cheraw and Darlington Rail Road. Major Mc FarTjANE (President of the Anson Plank Road came first) addressed the meeting in favor of the enterprise, assisted by Cols. McKsmoht and Wir. so.v, who also spoke in favor both of the Cheraw and Darlington Rail Road. and the North Eastern Road. Col. McKnight was a friend to the Eas tern Road, not only because it would give -the District of Williarnsburgh convenient communica tion with Charleston, but because he believed it would unite and bring together the Eastern por tion of the State by uniting their commercial in terests. Gen. Harli.kk spoke in favor of the Che raw and Darlington Rail Road, but opposed the North Eastern Road. He said, that the project of building a road from Ma'ncheslcr to' Wilming ton was, at the beginning scoffed at by tho peo ple of Charleston, but now that there is every probability the road will be speedily completed, the people of Charleston arc crying out, that the liorth Eastern Road must be built to counteract the effect upon trade, and which the Wilmington and Manchester Road jnust have. Gen. IIari lee went on to say, that so soon as the Road should - i - i be completed to Wilmington, the Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road could compete with the North Eastern Road by shipping all tho cotton beyond the Pee Dee to Wilmington, from which it would go to New York for less thai; it could be ... . . i . .. . carneu oy .any oiner route, lie also garo some oiher route. information as to the progress made upon the Wilmington and Manchester Road, giving the most flattering prospects of its early completion. Here we will add. the Wilmington' and Man chester Company could have secured the services of co one whose heart is more thoroughly interes ted in the enterprise ov'er'which t hey "have placed him. i 1 Horrible Tragedy In Virginia Six Murdered!
