N E A the hamlet of Udorf, on the
Rhine, not far from Bonn, there yet
.^tajids the mill which was the scene of
^.ifollowing:.ftdventure
"One Sunday morning, the miller and
his family set out, as usual, to attend ser
vice at the nearest church, in the village
of Heasel, leaving the mill, to which the
rdWClling-house
was attached, in charge of
^ffii servant-maid, Hanehen, a bold-heart
eogirl, who had been some time in his
service. The youngest child, who was
still too little to go to church, remained
^i^sjoi.'under her care.
A Hanehen was busily engaged in
^^reparin dinner for the family, she was
interupted by a visit from her admirer,
Heinrich Botteler. was an idle,
graceless fellow, and her master, who
gwthealhousestoriers
1
Kne his characte well, had forbidden
1kindly,
but Hanehen could not
sve the she had heard against
lover, and was sincerely attached to
him. On this occasion, she greeted him
and not only got him something
,, ,fto eat at once, but found time, in the midst
,o^her bussiness, to sit down and have a
gossip with him, while he did justice
a re set before him. As he was
eating, he let fall his knife, which he
asked her to pick up for sheplay
..fully remonstrated, telling him she feared
f-Zi'xom all she heard, he did little enough

work, and ought at least to wait upon
himself. In the end, however, she stoop
ed down to pick up the knife, when the
treacherous villian drew a dagger from
under his coat, and caught her by the
nape of the neck, griping her throat
firmly with his fingers'' to prevent her
screaming then, with an oath, he desir
ed her to tell him where her master kept
his money, threatening to kill her if she
did not comply with his demand. The
surprised and terrified girl in vaiu atempt
ed to parley with him he still held her
tightly in his choking grasp, leaving her
no other choice but to die, Or betray her
master. She saw there was no hope of
softening him, or changing his purpose,
and, with the full conviction of his treach
ery, all her native courage woke in her
bosom. Affecting, however, to yield to
what was inevitable, she answered him, in
a resigned tone, that what must be, must
only, if he carried off her master's gold,
he must take her with him too, for she
could never stay to bear their suspicons
and reproaches entreating him, at the
same time, to relax his grasp of her throat,
lor she could hardly speak, much less do
what he bid her, while he held her so
tight. A length he was induced to quit
Ins hold, on bcr reminding him that he
must lose no time, or the family would
be returning from church. She then led
the way to her master's bed-room, and
showed him the coffer where he kept his
money. 'Here/ she said, reaching to him
an axe which lay in a corner of the room,
'you can open it with this, while I run up
stairs to put all my things together, be
sides the money I have saved since I
have been here/
"Completely decieved by her apparent
readiness to enter into his plans, he allow
ed her to leave the room, only exhorting
her to be as quick as possible, and was
immediately absorbed in his own opera
tions, first opening the box, and then
disposing of the money about his person.
In the mean while, Hanehen, instead of
going up stairs to her own room, crept
softly along several passages, till eiie
again reached her master's chamber. I
Mas the work of a moment to shut and
bolt the door upon him and this done,
she rushed out to the outer door of the
mill, to give the alarm. The only being
in sight was her master's little boy,a child
ef five years old to him she called, with
ail her might, 'Run !—run to meet your
lather, as he eomes from church tell "him
we shall all be murdered, if he does not
come back The frightened child did as
she bid him, and set off running on the
road she pointed out.
"Somewhat relieved by seeing that the
chid understood her, and would make her
case known, she sank down for a moment
on the stone seat before the door, aud, full
of conflicting emotions of grief and thank
fulness for her escape she burst into tears.
But, at this moment, a shrill whistle
aroused her attention it was from her
prisoner, Heinrich, who, opening the gra
ted window above her head, shouted to
some accomplice without, to catch the
child that was running away so fast, and
to kill the girl. Hanehen looked round,
in great alarm, but saw no one. The
child still continued to run with all his
might, and she hoped that it was but a
false alarm, to excite her fear and over
come her resolution when, just as the
child reached a hollow in the next field,
(the channel of a natural drain,) she saw
a ruffian start up from the bed of the
drain, and snatching up the child in his
arms, hasten with him towards the mill,
in accordance with the directions of his
accomplice. In a moment she percioved
the full extent of her danger, and formed
her plan for escaping it.
"lietreating into the mill, she double
locked and bolted the door, the only appa
rent entrance into the building, every
other means of obvious access being pre
vented by strong iron gratings fixed up
against all the windows,—and then took
her post at the upper casement, determin
ed to await patiently her master's return,
and her consequent delivery from that
dangerous position, or her own death, if,
indeed, inevitable for she was fully re
solved to enter into no terms, and that
nothing should induce her to give up her
master's property into the robbers' hands.
She had hardly had time to secure her
self in her retreat, when the ruffian,
holding the screaming child in hie arms,
and brandishing a knife in one hand,
came up, and bid her open the door, or he
would break it down, adding many awful
oaths and threats to which her only
answer was, that she put her trust in God.
Heinrich, who from his window was wit
ness of this colloquy, now called out to
cut the child's throat beforeher eyes, if
she still persisted in her refusal. Poor
Hanchen's heart quailed at this horrible
threat for a moment her ^resolution fail
ed, but only for a moment. The death of
the child could be no gain to them, while
her own death was certain if she admitted
the assailant and her master, too, would
be robbed She had no reason, either,
to suppose that her compliance would save
the life of the child. I was to risk all
against nothing and she resolved to hold
out to the last, though the villian from
without renewed his threats, flaying, that
if she would not open the door to him, he
would kill the child, and then set fire to
the mill over her head. 'I put my trust
in God/ was still the poor girl's answer.
"In the mean while, the ruffian set
down the child for a moment, to look
about for combustibles to carry out his
threat in this search, he discovered a
mode of entering the mill unthought of
by Hanehen. I was a large aperature in
the wall, communicating with the great
wheel, and. the other machinery of the
mill and it was a point entirely unpro
tected, for it had never been contemplated
that any one would seek to enter by so
dangerous an inlet. Triumphant at this
discovery, he returned to tie the hands
and feet of the poor child, to prevent its
escape, and then stole .back to the apera
ture, by which he intended to effect an
entrance. The situation of the building
prevented Hanehen from saeing anything
of this but a thought had meanwhile
struck her. It was Sunday, when the
mill was never at work if therefore, the
sails were seen in motion, the whole neigh
borhood would know that something unu
sual was the matter and her master,
especially, would hasten home to know
the meaning of anything so strange.
"Being all her life accustomed to the
machinery of the mill, it was the work of
a moment to set it all in motion a brisk
breeze, which sprung up, at once set the
sails flying. The anus of the huge engine
whirled round with fearful rapidity the
great wheel slowly revolved on its asle
the smaller gear turned, and creaked, and
groaned, according as the machinery came
into action the mill was in full operation.
It was at this moment that tlie ruffian
intruder had succeeded in squeezing him
self through the aperature in the wMl,
and getting himself safely lodged in the
interior of the great drum-wheel. Ij:is
dismay, however, was indescribable, when
he began to be whirled about with its
rotation, and found that all his efforts to
put a stop to the powerful machinery
which set it in motion, or to extricate
himself from this perilous situation, weie
fruitless. In his terror, he uttered shrieks
and^ horrible imprecations. Astonished
at the noise, Hanehen ran to the spot, and
saw him caught like a rat in his own trap,
from which.'it Was no part of her .plan, oj
liberate him. »She knew he would be
more frightened than hurt, if he kept
within his rotatory prison, without any
rash attempt at escape aud that, even if
he became insensible, he could not fall out
of it.
"In the mean time, the wheel went
round and round with its steady, unceas
ing motion and round and round he
went with it, while sense remained, be
sense
sieging Hanchca with entreaties, promises,
and wild, impotent threats, which were
all equally disregarded, till, by degrees,
feeling and peremption failed him, and he
saw and heard n!| one. He fell senseless
at the bottom of the engine,but even then
his inanimate bolly continued to be whirl
ed round as befoik for Hanehen did not
dare trust appearinces in such a villhin,
and would not yUture to suspend the
working of the mill, or stop the mill-gear
and tackle from mnriing at their fullest
speed.
"A length she icard a loud knocking
at the door, and fl to open it. It was
her master and family, accompanied
by several of his neighbors, all in the
utmost excitement and wonder at seeing
the mill-sails in fti I swing on Sunday,
and still more whel they had found the
poor child lying bhind upon the irrass,
who, however, was loo terrified to iv
them any account
Hanehen, in a few
then her spirit, whi
through such secnq
what had happened
vords, told all and
had sustained her
of terror, gave way
under the sense of afety and relief, and
she fell fainting jri their arms, and was
with much difficulty recovered. The
machinery of th£ mill was at once stopped,
and the inaninjite ruffian dragged from
his dreadful pri|»n. Heinrich, too, wa3
brought forth fifon the miller's chamber,
and both were, ft a short time, sent bound,
under a strong \&jort, to Bonn, where
they soon after the reward of their
crimes. i\.
"The story of Jiiis extraordinary pres
ence of mind concludes by telling us that
Hanehen, thus ofectually cured of her
penchant for her^anworthy suitor, became,
eventually, the Wife of the miller's eldest
son, and thus lfed all her life on the
scene of her imminent danger and happy
deliverance.

XIV, V£ESE
Thaddeus Stephens.
This gentleman who has been elected to
the next Congress, from Pennsylvania,was
a member in 1850 and on the 20th of
February of that year, delivered a speech
of which we give an extract below.
will be apt to add greatly to Mr. Buchan
an's felicity during the last years of his
reign.
"I am opposed to despotism throughout the
world. Inmy judgement, not only the Slate
States, but the General Government recogniz
ing as it does, slavery, is a despotism.
Despotism does not depend upon the number of
rulers. It may have ono ruler or many. Home
was a despotism under Nero: so she was under
the Trumvirat*, Athens was a d«*potism un
der her Thirty Tyrants under her Four Hun
dred Tyrants under her Three Hundred Ty
rants. in this government, the free
white citizens are the rulers—the sovereigns
as we delight to be called. All others are sub
jects.
"The rulers and the ruled are of all colors,
from the clear white of the Caucassian tribes to
the swarthy Ethiopian. The former by court
esy, are called white, the latter black. In
this government the subject has no rights, so
cial, personal and political. Ilohasno voice
in the laws which govern him. He can hold
no property. His very wife and children are
not his. His labor is another's. He and all
that appertain to him are theabsolute property
of his rulers. He is governed, bought, sold,
punished, executed, by laws to which he never
gave his assent, and by rulers he never chose.
He is not a serf, merely, with half the rights of
LvJen, like the subjects of despotic itussia but
a naked slave, stripped of every right which
Goa and nature give him, and which the high
spirit of our revolution declared inalienable—
which he himself could not surrender, and
which man could not take from him. Is he
not, then,, the subject of a despotic rule.
"The skives of Athens and lioinc .were free
in comparison. They had some rights—could
acquire some property could choose their own
masters, and purchase their own freedom.and,
when free could rise in social and political
life. The slaves of America, then, lie under
the most absolute aiid grinding depotism, that
the world ever saw. .But who are the despots?
The rulers of the count.'y—the sovereign peo
ple! Not merely the slaveholder who cracks
the lash. He is but the .instrument in the
hands of despotism. That .despotism is the
government of the Slave States, and the United
fetates, consisting of all its rulers, all the free
citizens. Do not look upon this as a parades.,
because you ami I and tiie sixteen millions of
rulers are free. Nicholas of IIUS-MSI. is free.—
The grand-Sultan of Turkey free. The
butcher of Austria is free. Augustus, An
thony and Lepidus were free wliile they
drenched fionie in blood. The thirty Tyrants,
the Tour hundred Tyrants, the Three V'uous
and Tyrants, were tree while they bound iheir
countrymen in chains, i'ou, and I and flue
sixteen millions, are free, while we fasten iron
chains, and rivet manacles on four millions Oi
our fellow men tear Iheir wives and children I
fromj (hem seperate them sell them and doom
them to perpetual, eternal bondage. Are we
not then despots—dcsjio'snudi at history will
brand and God abhor.
The Late Terrible Explosion
at Havana.
In the New Orleans Picayune of Thurs
day last we have the following particulars
of the late terrible explosion of the naval
powder magazine at Havana, as furnished
by the purser of the New York mail steam
er Black Warrior:
On the 29th ult. at 3 the naval
magazine at Havana, situated at the head
of the harbor, containing about 150,000
pounds of gunpowder, several hundred
shells, together with a large quantity of
rockets, fire-wol'ke, &c, exploded. The
shock and effect, as described by the resi
dents of the city, were truly awful. Thus
far there had beefi found in the ruins and
about the grounds 28 dead bodies, and 105
wounded, four of which died shortly after
being removed to the hospital. For some
moments the air was filled with all de
scriptions of destructive missiles, and
stones, shells, &c, were projected a long
distance from the building and into the
bay No damage was done to the vessels
at anchor. The dead bodies of three co
lies were blown through the air to the
elope of Fort Atares, nearly a quarter of a
mile cff. There were upwards of three
hundred persons on the new sugar ware
house in the immediate vicinity of the
disaster, and among them the loss of life
&r_d Hiiib appears, to have Been the. i^eatr
est. Of the" military g«ard of the a
zine, consisting of a sergeant and sixteen
meitj only four remained. Mauy bodies
were, no doubt, yet under the ruins and in
the waters of the harbor. The destruction
of the fine pile of sugar warehouses, some
twenty buildings, several of which were fi
nished, and others in course of construc
tion, was complete Nothing cow remains
but a mass of stones and rubbish. The
concussion was so greut as to destroy the
gasometers, rendering the gas works for
the present entirely useless and it will re
quire at least three months before the city
can be lighted. Evory residence is more
or less affected by the shock and several
buildings sustaineJ great damage. A
mong the number were the residence of
Don Domingo Aldama fronting the mili
tary parade ground, the house of Don Jose
Maria Bonnelly, and the edifice of the
lioyal Economical Society.
Havana papers to the 3rd instant con
tain long avticl^s-rrt reference to this terri
ble catastrophe, but they add nothing of
general importance to what is above given.
The city council had made arrangements
for supplying the immediate necessities of
the wounded by the accident.

The Women of the:
Revolution.
While poets sing the praises and orators
proclaim the virtues of the heroes
Who fought and blfcd in freedom's cause,
let us not forge* the heroines. The moth
ers of the republic deserve as high and
as honored a niche in the Temple of Fame
as do the fathers. The women of Ameri^
ca, in the days that tried men's souls
though undistinguished on the battle-field,
were no less active and efficient instrumen
talities than were their brothers in work
ing outt&eglorious boon of liberty.
That mother who melted all the spoons
she had in the world, to furnish her son
with bullets that sister who converted
her own garments into clothing for her
soldier-brother and that daughter who
disposed of all her jewelry to provide
shoes for the barefooted patriots of the ar
my of Washington, were no less patriotic
in soul, no less heroic in deed, and no less
efScient in aetion,than were the men who
led the armies to battle, or who wielded
the weapon of strife. We propose .as a
sentiment:

Model Administration.
When Mr. Buchanan went into office
there were more than §18,000,000 in the
Treasury. Li less than two years he has
spent not only every dollar of that amount
and the revenues of the Government, a
mounting to about $60,000,000, but he
lias incurred a debt of §45,000,000! ma
king the gross expenditures of the Govern
ment for the last fiscal vear, according to
the lowest estimates, §92,000,000. If th
amount of unexpended appropriations of
the last Adsninistration which have been
expeuded by this, and the sum which will
yet be required to carry on the Govern
ment to the first of January, beyond the
probable receipts of the Treasury, be in
eluded in the tstimate, it will swell the
expenses of this Democratic and economi
cal Administration for the present year to
nearly §104,000,000! This is an Increase
even over Pierce's extravagant Adminis
tration, of nearly FORTY MILLIONS
O DOLLARS It must be remember
ed, too, that this alarming increase in the
expenses of the Government, has been
caused by no extraordinary event. We
have had no war—nothing, or compara
tively nothing has been appropriated for
rivers and harbors, or for any other im
provements. It embraces only the ordin
ary expenses of the Government.
What our Imaginary Southern
Pacific Railroad Costs
The Albany Journal says that it may not be
generally known that we are building a Pacific
railroad. It is rather an airy, unsubstantial
structure, the rails being laid nowhere except
in the imagination but it has already cost us
a great deal of money.
The road was begun about four years ago.
As our Government is a Government which
legislates always for the south, and never for
the north, it was a foregone conclusion that
the railroad must be a southern railroad. It
must connect with Charleston and Mobile,
instead of New .York or Philadelphia, and
must link the States which talk nf forming a
Southern Confederacy to Galafornia and the
Pacific coast.
We begun hy sending out a corps of army
officers to survey the Southern route. The
first route they surveyed was a route through
Texas. The second route they surveyed was
a route through Texas. The third route they
surveyed was a route through Texas. And so
on to the end of the chapter—every one of the
dozen routes, with but one or two exceptions,
being a route through Texas. This Texas
engineering took out of the Treasury about
§1,000,000. The printing of the survey cost
§750,000 the Gadsden purchase consisting of
sandy desert, agreeably diversified with rock?
too barren
sum
the camels from the East
Artesian wells along the
Grand total §13,000,000.
$250,000, and the
route §500,000.—
Whata Steam Pira Engine can
do.—They have a steam fire engine at
Cincinnati, called the "Citizens Gift,"
which is said to be fast ahd strong. One
of the papers states that at a recent fire
the company attached to the machine,
hitched horses, ran two squares, laid oat
360 feet of hose, firing meantime, and put
water on the fire in four minutes from the
first tap of the alarm bell. The same pa
per adds: "This is ho more than she has
often done." I may be called the Cham
pion of the \Vorld: she never was beat
she plays through 1 inch nozzle, 200
feet horizontally.

The returns do not fully justify ue in stating
definitely how our next Legislature will stand,
although present indications point to the Re

have the Rouse by five majority, and possibly
six. The Senate, with those elected this year,
and with those who hold over, gives the major

believe the Republicans have the control. The

This includes the election of Gnlver, Democrat

which we know to bo incorreM Ely, lie

is the last news wc have touching the point.
The Pioneer also put? down Cruel .as eb«ed to

ABDUCTION OF CHILDREN.—Some
time ago a little girl having been decoyed
from school, and a reward of one hundred
dollars having been offered by her friends
for her return, a man asked at the public
school in 31adison street for two children,
representing himself as their uncle. The
older girl refused to go with him, declar
ing he was not her uncle. He tried to
force her off with him, but the child esca
ped him. When the children left to go
home, the man followed to secure them he
did not succeed. Efforts are boing made
to discover the villain, who, it is supposed
wished to obtain the reward which would
be offered for the return of the little
ones. Life Illustrated.
