'The young planter, who had lost, sent one of the boat servants below for John and Helen. The passengers awaited , the appearance of; he servants in silence, for a long time: but they came. not. The eer vant had informed them of the change of of owners. They were attached to the youn&planter and wife, and did not like to leave them; beside, they had children of their own at home; and what was to be come of them.? 1 The winner began to wax impatient at the delay, and exclaimed : 'Come, Danton; "hurry up the niggers. They must move quicker than this when I send for 'em or they'll never know what nurt 'em.' f'. r?7 The young planter's 'aristocratic face flushed crimson at this rude and brutal ex- ciaioauuii, oui ue maue iiu rept v. ne was - r i , , ww about to send another servant for John and Helen, when his purpose was stayed by the appearance of Mrs. Danton. Herhus band had been gaming, and she had been weemner ever since the boat left Uincmna ti: and we are now far down the MissiDDi. INo wonder, then, that she was pale and wanand that her eyes looked as though they had been nearly wept away; but she was made exquisitely lovely nevertheless Although many years have passed since that-evening, i can see the sorrow stricken young wife now, as she glided up to the table and looked her: husband in the face He could not bear up under her gaze. He had lost all their money, and in a fit of des peration bad also staked and lost the two slaves. Laying her little hand on his arm she Said: - - 'le it true, Charles, that you have lost John and Helen V Her husband made no reply; he could not .e ven look up. j , The passengers were now fast gathering round and the scene was growing: painful Myifather (who had come north to fetch 4 me from school, and was taking the longest possible way home.) was holding me by 'ihftlirnl artA I Irnau, Kv tr fiirKtaniniv f nisgrasp, tnat be was becoming much, ex cited. , , . ; As Danton did not seem inclined to an : : swer his wife's question, the gamester roughly said: L Yes, mam, John and Helen are mine : and I wao't to see 'em quick.' Danton sprang to bis feet, and stooping across the table, hissed in the teeth of the ' gamester 4Villian ! don't you presume to speak to my wife again ' The look with which this menace was actons panied was perfectly blasting, and made the swarthy and '-. pitted face of the rra ryf ifor fnirltr turn ttr h i f a How inconsistent is Tnan ! That accom plished and high-born husband could de liberately jeopardies the property and cor rode the happiness of his wife, hour after hour, dav after davJ and vear after vear. V...L- M l' ..L.r.t oui ue couiu noi oear mat ine man wnom . he had chosen for a companion should even so much as speak to her. Yes, Mary; John and Helen are lost,' be said at last, as he let the gamester from un der his gaze, 'they are lost, and it can't be helped now; so don't let us have a scene about it.' . 'f shall not let them go,' said Mary firm ly, 'and I shall . have a scene about it. I did not say a word about the money; but now that you have played them away Oh, Charlie !' and she leaned her head on her husband's breast. 'Ah I here they come I said the games ter, as John and Helen approached. John was a powerful and fine looking mulatto; his face indicating unusual intel ligence and kinl beartednesa. Helen was much whiter than her husband, and remar kably handsome. The gamester's evil eyes gleamed aa be surveyed, her, and turning to a savage looking ; man near him he s;aid: i:' ? ; ; : I'll sell you John in the morningj Ham mond; but Helen I shall keep at least for a few" days.' . ' 'I'm agreeable,' said the slave trader, for such be was; 'but I'd like the gal as socn .. as possible. . . . A look of indignation ran round the group at this brutal colloquy. My father's grasp rew tighter still; and encouraged thereby, whispered to him to bay John and Helen himself; but he shook his head, and motion ed me to keep silent.- '-- -y ; i, . 'l tell you I shall not; let them go,, re peatedMrs, Danton, addressirtg the stran ger yThey were brought up in my moth er's family; besides, they-have children at home, from whom it would be cruel to sep . axate them.' - " " . c; The gamwter and slave dealer exchang ed sneer at Mrs Damon's sentimental Tea r sons for not feting the slave go,- and her husband said: 5 'It, can't be helped' how. Mary, let us go to out room.' f . - ; ' 'O, Missus, don't go and leab me wid dat man,' 6hrieked Helen; ll shall die, or jump oberboard. O, don't leab your own true Helen, who 6abed your life when you fell in tie by00-' '1 shall noi leave you, Helen. Do not be alarmed. 1' - 'Bress de Lord for dat,' interrupted Hel en; 'I knows we're safe now; kase you al ters does jrs' what you say you will. 'J think it's about time this nonsenee was stopped,' said the gamester, rising from the table 'You acknowledge, Danton, that these negroes are my property; consequent ly tbey are mine, and I've a right to do what I please with them; no bill of sale is necessary between two gentlemen. And now, you niggers, just come along with me. and don't make a fuss, or I'll have you flogged and put in irons" The scece now becameexffWiasJy excit ing. John drew EIlenloh!s side, and clenched bis teeth and fists, while their young mistress stood close in front, as if with her feeble arm, she would protect them from the clutehes of the gamester. I was wild with excitement, and begged my fath er either to buy the slaves or shoot ' the gamester I lid not care which. A bloody ngnt seemed inevitable; when a young New Englander, who had been very quiet during the whole trip, elbowed bis way to the table, asked toe gamester at what sum he valued his slaves. . - Two thousand dollars,' said he; 'do you want to buy V 'I have only a thousand dollars,' the young man answered. '1 will give you that for them. ; 'No, sir, but I'll stake 'em againstaa thou sand dollars, and play you a game of poker tor the pile.' - Ldon't understand the game,' said the new ijugiaiiuer. What game do you play V I have played a few games at all fours, but I never gambled for a cent in my life. Well, I'll play you a game at all-fours then, if you like, and stake the ni&gers a- gainstyour thousand dollars.' To the surprise of every one present, the young man accepted the challenge, called for a new pack of cards, staked his thou sand dollars, and the game commenced the gamester having the first deal. As the company drew more closely round the table, it seemed as though a watchmaker's shop were in our midst, so distinctly we heard the tick of the watch es. ;: The first hand the New Englander made three to the gamester's one. at which a buzz of pleasure ran round the group. The sec ond hand the gamester three to his oppo nent nothing; the third hand they eacn made two, which left the New Englander two to go, while the gamester had but one to make, and it was his turn to beg. This was a great advan age, and every body seemed to give up the thousand dollars as lost. The New Englander dealt the cards with a steady hand, however, and turned up the jack of hearts, which placed him even with his antagonist, but when he rais ed his cards I saw that he had not a sin gle trump in his hand, and his adversary was hesitating whether to 'stand' or 'beg;' if the former, the game was his to a cer tainty; if the latter, there would be another chunce for the slaves. After drumming on the back of his cards for a short time, he looked a the New. Englander to see if the could determine by his manner what it was best to do, but the Young Bunker Hill met bis gaze without flinching, and there ihey sat for a long time gazing into each other's eyes. 'Run the cards,' said the gamester at last. I could have hugged him for his mistake. 'Bunker Hill again dealt, and the queen of spades was tnrned Every heart stood still as the cards were for the last time lift ed. ' 'They are mine !' shouted the Ne w Eng lander; 'or rather, they are you'rs madam,' said he, in a milder tone, to Mrs. Danton, as he threw down the ace of spades. The beautiful and impetuous Southron threw her arms around the winner's neck, and three deafening cheers (in which even the slaveholder joined) told the satisfaction of the audience. " 'Many years after I met the New Eng. lander in Mississippi, and claimed his ac quaintance, on the Bcore of having been one of the most enthusiastic partisans on the night of his well remembered triumph. He had prospered in business and become rich. He was making his annual pil grimage to the family hearthstone a stone which has mora potent charms for good than that at which kneel Mahomedan de votees in the city of their prophet. He said he had never touched a card since that memorable game; that the thousand dollars that he then risked was the sum to tal of his savings for many toilsome years; but that he staked it, and played the game with a perfect conviction of success. Danton had sought him out, and kept up the acquaintance ever since; and Mrs. Danton could now travel the world over with her husband without fear, for he had forsworn gambling from that never-to-be forgotten night.

Borden, Esq., one of the most respectable citizens in Greene county Alabama, was shot and Kiued by his own son wnua lying in nis bed, on the mornintr of the 28th ult The son was not "suspected until the day of the funeral, when" he decamped with his fa ther's horse and 4,000 or his money.

AN Elegant Edition of Biils of Exchange, print ed in Get many, in Books of 10 quires and in sheets, for sale (at red"ced prices) at the office of IJi Commercial PROSPECTUS OF THE "SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, to be published weekly, at Wilson, N. C. I'HE existing condition of political parties, and of partizan strile, naturally suggests the estab lishing of such a journal as the "Southern Senti nel" propose j to become. The present, indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has been invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken snd burnt; the landmarks of our political ancestry partially effaced ; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange snd questionable men have been pushed inio high positions; and fanaticism, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, ia heard to howl among us in 'he South. These evils, sofaras it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest, ft will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men of the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. It will defend not only political but acLtdocs liberty, and will do battle apainst ev ery political heresy that may appear, whethet hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects, which shall include Agricultural and the latest Com mercialintelligence. In brief, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the .outh. The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month,' snd sent to sub scribers st the rste of 92 per annum: 92 50 at the end of six months, and 93 st the end of the year.

FRENCH April 0. f 10 Then tlellectual Vigor of a People it indicated by the Character of Ue Literature'" THE CRITERION; k LITERARY AND CE1T1C1L WEEKLY JOURNAL, 16 pages, 4to. wt AS commenced on the 3d of November, 1855, and has thus far received very general appro bation. Anxious to extend its influence, and place it upon a substsntial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the attention ol the thinking public of America to its claims upon their consideration. The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re views of Current Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of sll the most important Books as they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readera informed of all new publications which deserve their attention. It also contains Copious Intelligence of Affairs in lie Literary World, Gossip concerning Boots and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publtcattons, and Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts, and Science, also receive attention, and several coin mns of carefully selected and agreeable matter are given in each number. In addition to the above there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new bosks and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection ot Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety of curious snd valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal inch aa the CRITERION cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and tn some extent upon ar national character. ' It will be found es pecially valnable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and Sophistical books. To the reading man the literary intelligence alone must render it Very de sirable; and to all who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, the encouragement of merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enter prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent. To members of Historical, Literary and Scienti fic Societies, Lyeeama and Debating Clubs, the subjects discussed In this paper will at all times prove of peculiar Interest, and It lathe design of the editors to thoroughly canvass from time to time those important philosophical questions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theo ries, and enconra ring profitable investigation! . The CRITERION is published at 93 per an num, payable yearly, half yeaify or quarterly fa ad vance. Specimen copies sopplied on application to the Publisher, CHAJULES R.
