The marriage was simple and unostentatious the ceremony being performed in ptivate by a young curate, ia . order to escape the ridicule of the bridegroom's haughty relatives od Clara Reymonr became the bride of Sir John North of Fen wick HaU. They made the tour of the Con tinent, and in the spring returned to England, when she presented her husband with a boy (the sobject of present sketch.) Sir John's relatives instead of contumely and reproach, pretended to greatly admire Lady Fenwick, and congratulate htm oa his excellent choice. ' Two of his sisters took up their residence in Fenwick Hall, and while pretending unbounded affection for tbeir victim,-we re daily and hourly engaged by malicious and artful tales in poisoning Lord Fen wick's mind against his wife. Poor Clara, all this time, being unaware of the cruel, unrelenting and treacherous course pursued toward ber Lord F. becoming more and more morose and odd to her every day, and she unaware of the true causet attributed it to the seeming fact that be regretted having united with one as humble as she. In the meantime the boy reached the age of seventeen. " . , Suddenly, one day these female fiends threw off the mask, and in tbe presence of Sir John accused her of the most horrible crimes, and alleged her son was the froit of aa illicit amour between herself and a certain French Count, to whom she was introduced by her husband, whilst they were sojourning in Venice during the honey moon. The lightning does not rift the tallest oak quicker than did this rude shock prostrate Lady Clara. She swooned 1 And Sir John strode madly from tbe ball, bis heart and brain on fire. He gave directions to bis heartless sis. ters to bava her and the "accursed bratn expelled immediately from the helL He then threw him self npon bis horse and galloped madly to the nearest seaport, where he immediately embarked for the Continent, Of course, the unfeeling sisters were not long in executing tbeir brother's command- She and ber eon were immediately driven forth, although suffering trans delirium, aad were eoa-- veyed by servants te the nearest inn. .These villainous women bad at last accomplished tbeir vile purpose, wtucb was to keep tbe magnificent property within tbeir grasp ; foe tbey eonld aot btoolc the idea tbat one whom they regarded as the offjpriag of aa humbly-born young female, for whom their brother bad conceived an affec tion, should ever ancceed to the proud title and broad lands of tbeir father.

SofSce it "to say that the ranch e was carried by storm after a des- aad female, butchered except our hero, who was taken prisoner and conveyed, to Mexico by the Indians, after Lurning and plundering the ranche. Our hero shed ma"y bitter tears over the nnhsppy fate of his darling Estella, and kind and gener ous relatives. He remained a prisoner , three months, and( stan go to say, although.tlooely watched, was not subjected to any cruel treatment.- One day the tribe, whose captive" he was, started out on, marauding expedition, leaving him in the charge of a powerful Indian. He was the very savage who had scalped and tomahawked bis beautiful Easella.. Tbe Indian, indulging. freely id tatyie. soon fell asleep.

Weldon. Our hero, however, disliked the profession, and as" we have stated above, was em ployed in this office, by Mr. Sackett, and lately by Mr. Stansbury. While here during the Oc tober term of the Circuit ' Court, he stated his esse to Hon. Abraham Lincoln, who immediately wrote to the British Consul at Chicago. Two days afterwards, the British Consul, Hon. Mr. Wilkina, arrived in this place. After listening to Fen wick's story, and ' having ajong eon-saltation, with Messrs.

In the meantime, the Consul wrote to England making inquiries in regard to Sir John Fenwick, aad could only hear that he war travel ing on the Continent, but could not ascertain the precise spot. The Prince of Wales while traveling in this country, it will be recollected, stopped in Chicago!

Y., for the purpose .of seeking the Golden: El Dorado by crossing the.. Plains! Among the company was a young man naned James P. Kimbull. then nineteen years of age, and bis wife Jane to whom he was married on New. Year's day of that year. At the time be was married he was working on a farm near O-oodaga , Hollow, a few miles south of Syracuse. His father, Major Newall Kimball was e merchant in Syracuse. The late Phil o Rust, long proprietor of the Syracuse House, and one of the most popular landlords in the country was his nnele. The father of young Kimball's wife, Rev. James McNeil, of Cloody Run,Be3-fordCo-, Pa. a missionary was also ot the party... Tbe company was composed - of men like KimbulV young and, adventurous, with strong hands and bold hearts, eager to solve the problem of life through -toil and peril. The young wife who had been reared tenderly amid the refinements of life gave up her comfortable borne witl out repining and went, cheerfully with ber husband, sharing' with him both toil and danger. The company was mostly from Onondaga Co. Qa the first day of April, 1848, they left Syracuse followed by the prayers and good wishes of their friends,' and after they begun their journey across tba Plains they bever again heard of. It was believed that tbey all perished by the bands of hostile Indians. ' ',; v - : . ; f-i On Saturday mornLug last they arrived in this city oa board a freight tram from Toledo a man witb weather beaten visage, at,d Ion bushy hair swesping over bis shoulders, -accom panted by a pale and emaciated wocm, tick and worn oot with hunger, ex-csare, and fatiguing journeys on t&y Tbtj me - jsbes liimbull and bis wife, who eighteen tnoiilhs , e o "escape 1 fi-cV Eaais Indians, r,:ih whom they LU been e? p-tiTes eleven year;, tdna their way on foo for tioEsand cf r-';, er:!i lrrrr, enl tick nest, and tbiyst,' acd career," tj tLa .

"Our reporter bad an interview with them on Satur day afternoon.'and oblaiaed the following ntirri-tlve of their adventures. ; :-' '-The company of sixty-four ? serabns, fo which Mr. Kimbull belongedleft- Syracuse, ' ApT 1st. IS 48, crossed tbe Mississippi at Qaincy,and tbe Missouri at Brownsville, proceeded to Fort Scott and thence to Independence, going' two hundred and twelve miles ont of their ; way for the pur pose ef joining a tfaia which they learned was soon to leave the latter place' oa the overland route. When they arrived at Independence, they found that -the train had been gone focr days! Being provided with teams, and all the necessary outfit for the journey, they hired a tnoantain pilot, an i pnshed on, hoping to be able to overtake the train. : They crossed the plains by way of Salt Lake, and thence proceeded to the Ch'lbeotbe Valley, in Oregon. At three o'clock one afternoon the train stopped, while passing through tbe Chillicothe Valley, and pre pared to encamp for the night beneath an overhanging cliff. While they were preparing their camp, they were suddenly fired upon from the cliff above, when a large force of Indians, of the Snake tribe Indiana particularly hostile to th9 whites, and the terror and scourge of overland travelers were in ambush. The little band of adventurer prepared to re sist the attack as well : as circumstances would admit. ' The women were protected from the shots of the Indians by one of the wagons, while the men carried on the unequal contest (the In discs were nearly two thousand ia number) from behind other wagons. The battle continued with little intermission until JO o'clock next morning. On the afternoon of the attack. about half of the whites were killed. Daring the night firing continued, but only one man was wounded The Indians adopted their own peculiar manner of warfare, skulking among: the timber which grew npon the cliff, and picking off the men with rifles, with wbjebbey were well provided, When the fight ended, only thirteen of the com pany were alive, And they immediately became prisoners, v A sister of Mr. Kimball was among the killed. Mrs. K. was badly wonnded. The Indians took their prisoners upon what they call Rattlesnake Mountain, seventeen miles from the scene of the fight, and many of the whites being grievously wounded, the march was a painful one in the extreme. Arrived there, a council wan Laid to decide what disposition,' should bo made ot toe prisoners, it was oeciaed that all but two shoald run the gosollet. One of those exempt ed was the Mountain Pilot hired at . Indepen nonce, who was part Indian ; the other was the Missionary McNeil.' Mrs. Kimball's ftlber, who was reserved to be 'burned at the stake to ap pease the spirits of the warriors who. fell in battle. Mr. Kimball ran gauntlet, for himself and again for bis wife. He ran' naked between two line 'of Indians, fifty in each line, all armed with clubs. He was allowed a club and pistol, the rules of race permittinr bim to shoot down any person who stepped in front pf him while be was runninjg. He shot one - Indian dead who jumped in front of htm. He escaped both races with but two blows from clubs ; One ot the back of his head, and the other on the back of his neck Mr. MeNiei was burned before tbe eyes of his friends, amid dreadfol tortures.

This was a custom of bis tribe. He bad a fight daring his flight with several In dians, and was woanded. . He met a party of TJ S, Surveyors, and was by them assisted towards the settlements..

Bard Times in Old Virgizit. We perceive that several petitions have been laid before the Legislature of Virginia for the passage of a stay law. Referring to this move ment the Richmond correspondent of tbe Alex andria. Gazelle says: The people ia some of tbe counties, in consequence of their inability to sell property, find themselves very much embarrassed. Land that cost a year ago in one county $7 per acre was tried at auction, and all that was b"d was $1,55 per acre. This is-the" case, to some extent, with negroes. Their value is greatly reduced. Parties cannot sell tobacco in the interior for cash, and the manufacturers find it difficult to realize on it, as the commission merchants won't grar.t the usual facilities of four months acceptances. Thus it is that they ask for this law. The application is- not. general, bowever, and the propriety of granting it very questionable. There is no difficulty ia selling wheat, and it is bringing fair prices; sales in Richmond at $1.40 to $l55 for good to prime white. Corn is also bringing fair prices, and from the sales of tobacco making here, of which a great deal is now coming in- loose, one would suppose that the prices obtained must be remunerative. Negroes for hire are very abundant, and many of those sending them to tho city for hire in the tobacco factories, have to take them home again, a the manufacturer, until matters get settled down, are not disposed to hire. Many are now at work at presenter tbeir victuals and cloths, the owners bopingtbat by April matters will resume their usual activity. . ' : : Snfcririg of a Catholic Priest. .
