He also made the acquaintance of young Westmore- lann,andtoratinie they were on friendly and even intimate terms'. But a coldness and estrangement grew up between them; they were both the admirers ot one young ladr.

West moreland repented the words, when Martin answered, 'Thank you, I prefer my own company., lhe.n'xtlay Westmoreland asked an explanation, and Martin replied ne mig'iT ltuerprer ic in any way he thought fit. This led to a challenge from West moreland, which was accepted by Martin, but the interference of three gentlemen of authority in such ipatten prevented a duel; not, however, without difficulty, and only by earnest appeals to both young men. From this time the estrangement be tween .them was complete, though-they dij not cease entirely to speak to each other. They were both the open and a vowed suitors of the young lady, and each one thought his own chance the best. Thus stood" matters, whn a short time ago a third suitor arrived from New York for the express purpose of pressing his suit ii young German gentleman, every way wctrthy to aspire to so fair a hand.

They not consider this, nor apparently, did he care about it, when in the selfish indulgence of th malignant and vindictive passion t of envy and jealousy he deprived her of the protection of her husband, and left her alone and desolate, with no refuge but the house of. parents whom she had disobeyed and of- iended..

A fat man and bis dog sat have no doubt they would have made us in Virginia, and says he is nephew of Gen. had agreed to elope and be married. An elopement was rendered necessary in conse quence of the violent, opposition on the part of thv young lady's parents to the pretensions of Mr. Westmoreland. This opposition was most decided on the moth er's part.. She had forbidden all intercourse between them, and did not know that they ever met. But they were lovers and they did meet. - A clandestine intercourse has been kept up from the time -that he -was forbidden the house. On Thursday, July 4, a note, written by Mr Westmoreland to his affianced, and unfortunately entrust ed to inexpert hands to deliver, fell under the eyes of the mother. At once she knew all. Sire reproached her daughter, but her (laughter was firm and avowed her determination to marry Mr. Westmoreland. The next morning, r riday, July 5, the parents obtained a marriage license, sent for a minister, peremptorily summoned Mr. Westmoreland to their house, and had the young pair married. But their blessing did not rest oh the head of their child; no soon er was the ceremony ended than the young couple were told to leave the house. Mr. Westmoreland having no house of his own, and. intending to leave Brunswick the same evening, took-his bride to his office, and informed his friends of his marriage. During the day they received several visits, and among those who called was Martin. So generous and trusting was the nature of young Westmoreland, that he went out and left Martin alone with his wife. Martin assured her that as she was married to Westmoreland he would not pursue any teeliug of resentment . against her husband, and 4 eft her with the impression that he meant to forget and bury the past.' From the e he went to call on the parents of the young bride, but what passed between them is not known. J About four o'clock in the afternoon the marriage had taken place at 1 1 in th,-morningMartin was walking along the street, and met the young German suitor who had arrived in Brunswick onlv a few davs be fore. Mactin asked him to accompany him down the street, and they walked together until they came opposite the door of West moreland's office. The latter was sitting J on the door-step in conversation with a gentleman who had called to speak to mm on business. The young bride was iu an inner room preparing for her departure in the steamer Sylvan Shore that very even- Martin, leaving his companion, walk ed deliberately up to Westmoreland, drew a pistol and, without a word, fired, ihe ball entered full in the breast. . AYestmore- land rosu and exclaimed, "My God! Martin what have I done that you should shoot me t" Martin fired a second time, and the ball entered the groin. A third time, though his victim had therrfallen, did he pull the trigger, but only the cap exploded ; Westmorelaud spoke no other word-?;, lie breathed a few minutes and life was end- v - w j!., t- ? i iL 1 ' " Martin was instantly arrested by the Uni ted States military authority, and that same steamer Sylvan Shore, which was to have borne a youthful and happy pair on their bridal tour, carried instead a murderer to a cell in the Savannah jail, where he now lies., V ; r ' The. virgin widow the voung girl on the very threshold' of life, the yoang -flower i other niche, and another foot is added 'to the hundreds that remove him from the reach of human help from below. - How carefully he uses his wasting blade! .

The lad has made fifty additional niches iu: that mighty wall, and now finds himself di rectly under the middle of thct vast arch of rocks, earth, and trees. He must cut his way in a new direction, to get from under this overhanging mountain. The inspira-' lion of hope is dying in his bosom; its vital heat is fed by the increased shout of hun dreds perched upon cliffs and trees, and oth- V ers, who stand with ropes4 ivtheir. bauds on the bridge above, or with ladders below.
