BY MARY KYLE DALLAS. Young William Betsworth arose in the pul- bo of the quaint old church at Elmsdale to! eliver bis first sermon, and cast his soft blue | feel as though the thoughts which clung about eyes along the aisles and up to the gallery, where the organ stood and where the choir sat. Now that the hymn was over, and the last low murmur of the organ had melted into silence—now that all those faces were turned towards him, and the bush seemed to say, more plainly than words could, ‘“‘We are waiting for you,” the young minister under- stood at last the ordeal which lay before him, and steed there with a beating heart and a cheek that changed from red to white, and from white to red again, with every broath. One accustomed to the sight of crowded houses, and to the knowledge that the words which fell from his lips were listened to and criticised by men of letters and women of the world, might have smiled at the confusion eli- cited by the presence of those old-fashioned farmers and their uneducated wives, and wonder how one who, judging by his f. had not only talent but ambition; could have been content to make even his first effort in the presence of such an audience. Talented the young man certainly was, and ambitious also, Lyn he scarcely knew it yet himself; but the little village was his world, and the people in those brown old pews scem- ed, for the moment, to hold his fate in their hands. Again, as he unfolded tho white paper covered with his delicate, distinct handwrit- ing, his biue eyes wandered about the church, and read the faces upturned towards him. There, grim and uncompromising, sat Deacon Grumble, looking out for some flaw in doctrine or some wandering sentence which savored of a want of real. Yonder was Deacon Dolefal, ready to shake his head in melancholy predic tion of his failure. Behind him, an old man venerable, who had no faith in ‘young minis ters,’ and would fain have had an oct an in every pulpit; and further back, Grey, the abolitionist, side by side with uncle Gobble, the pro-s!avery man of the village, at whom he was looking bowie-knives. ese, and a host of other malcontents, were to be propitiated; and there also were his.old father and mother, fond and anxious as parents could be, and, sitting beside them. his soape- grace brother, Jasper, the wildest scion of that quiet family, brown-skinned, gipsey- eyed, and laughter-loving. Bold in his speech and careless in his mirth, he was a far better jadge of the true merits of his sermon (from a worldly point of view) than any other there. William dreaded this auditor more than all the rest—forhad not bold Jasper, in his hurdi- hood, declared that a minister, to be a proper teacher of his flock, should be talented and enlightened as well as good and sealous? And farther more, to the intense horror of good Deacon Dolefal, that “fine readin; should not be confined to the stage, but shoul be admitted to the pulpit.” Jasper—what would Jasper think of his maidon sermon ? The paper was unfolded and spread upon the desk before him, and the young minister strove to put these thoughts away, and to think only of the great and holy cause in which he had enlisted, and of the One whose smile outweighs that of the whole world. If he struggled vainly, others older and wiser than he may have done the same, for Ambi- tion will not always seat herself quietly beside the church porch, but oftentimes wili follow her slave along the aisles, and up the carpet- ed steps into the very pulpit, as she might have followed him to any scene of public strife or triumph, teaching him that ministers are but men, and that of all the preachers on this earth of ours e was but Uxe—a hol One—about whose pictured head the ol: painters always drew a glory, who could for- get man’s praise or blame, and st! led on through scorn and persecution and tempta- tion, the cross and thorny crown his only earthly tributes, without one blot or blemish on his snowy soul, the spotless gift of God re turned to Him as spotless as Ha gave it. Ta his self-reproach, you illiam Bets- worth made no such exouse for his mental de- linquensies, but thought himself at that mo- ment the greatest sinner upon éarth. The text was read, and the first words of his sermon were upon the minister’s lips,when the church door opened once more to admit two ladies, who came softly up the aisle, and seated themselves very near the pulpit. Both were young, and one—the smallest and the most girli: ‘wore golden curls, which fell be- low her waist But it was upon the other that William Betsworth’s blue eyes rested involun- tarily, and it seemed to the young man as though Satan was indeed tempting him in earnest. If it were wrong to think of the ef- fect of his sermon, how doubly wrong it was to go wandering baci to his boyhood, and to see the little pond, with water-lilies on its bosom, and the garden, with its ranks of red rosea, and the school-house, where tho girls sat on en le and the boys on the other, and to gee, amidst all,a pair of soft black eyes and a childish figure, and to feel a dimpled hand within bis own, and to hear a baby voice say, sobbingly—“But I will come back some day to be your little wife.”’ Oh! very wrong; yet he could not help it any more than he could help those other thoughts, for there be- fore him were those soft black eyes, a child’s no longer, and that childish form altered to woman’s. _ “I willcome back some day and be your little wife !”’ These words sounded in his efrs over and over again, and Love climbed the ulpit stairs and stood there beside Ambition. © one guessed all this save the young minis- ter himself, and, when the sermon was done, Deacon Grumble nodded approval to Deacon Doleful, and bis mother’s eyes were fall of tears, called forth by her innocent pride in her blue-eyed William, and scrapegrace Jas- per grasped his brother’s hand, as he descend- ed from the pulpit, in earnest congratulation. Only the object of all this interest was dissat- isfied, as ho thought, with self-reproach, upon the earth-filled dreama which had so haunted him. Yet that memory of his child-love would not be driven from his heart, and,when arrived at home, he found those two beautiful girls standing together upon the parsonage porch, it grew still mere vivid. “They had come back to live,” she said, “and were not going back again, and, late as they arrived on the past night, she had re- solved to come to church as soon as the heard that William was to preach. How strange that he should be a grown man and a minister! It seemed but yesterday that they were child- ren, and he wore a round blue jacket, and fished for minnows with a crooked pin. Yet the knew him. And he—was it possible that he would have remembered her?’’ So she ran on, and her golden-baired sister, Effie, smiled beside her like a happychild. Ina little while she left them, aud when she was uite out of sight, William Betsworth went ack into the house, and thought how strange it was that all those yeurs of travel in a foreign land had altered his playmate ao little, and into what a beautiful blossom the tender bud of that spring time had expanded. He preached that night again, and strove, if ever man did stgive. to be no hypocrite; and it was only too easy, now, toforget the frowns of Deacon Grumble or the sig of Deacon raham sat ‘here Doleful, while Caroline G asaya him with ber soft black eyes. And when that night he Sought bis little bed-room, he found himself thinking of her onee more. He had epoken to her, and she remembered the echool-house and the gsrden, and the pond where the water lilies grew; whether she remembered, also, that beby promise, he could no: tell. With this thought, the young nister fell asleep, and Le one could bh med him more than he blamed himself morning. tue passed on, and that ordeal of the first sath had grown to 0e au ordinary habit. cangregativa were no longer eo fearfully awake, aod be was used to theis Sages and to his new position.

He had loved her all his life. ifshe had net returned it, he should nover have loved another women. So* he thought, and so he said to himself over and over again—believing it truly,as lovers always do beheve their fancies. And it had grown to be another habit of his to walk towards her home upon those golden autumn evenings,and, finding her upon the porch or in the garden, to join ber, and sit talking with her for hours Mis brother Jasper was often with him, and with them also sat or walked golden-haired Effe; but William thought neither of these nor of the portly Mr. Graham, who would fain heve entered into theological disquisitions with him, nor of ths placid Airs. Graham, per- petually knitting beside him. Ho speke to all, and seemed to look at all, but in reality Caroline was the only one he saw or listened to. Hlad he been less in love, less deeply immers- ed in his own dreams, he might not have been £0 blind to what was passing before him, and might have read the story which would have been so plain to other eyes,and so have spared himself some pain. He had other thoughts upon his mind be- side. Jasper had always been a trouble to them, and was one still. He was very wild and reckless, and was often absont from the village; and there were bills for the angry father to pay, and stories which brought tears to the mother’s eyes, and William must soothe the one and comfort the other, and avert what blame he could from the wild brother he loved so dearly. And so the autumn passed and winter came, bringing long bright evenings, when the moon glittering upon the bear branches of the elm trees abeut the parsonage, and he could seo afar, upon his nightly path, the red light from her window shining out upon the drifts of newly fallen snow liko a beacon glowing there to guide him into harbor. : [ro BE CONTINURD.] wee LATEST FROM THE SOUTH.

In the Senate on Saturday, a resolution was adopted requeating the President to ccmmunicate as s00n as practicable all official reports of en- gagemenis, the object being to give the Senate opportunity to vote resolutions of thanks to cffl- cers who have distinguished themselves. The Committee on Military affairs reported a DILL prohibiting the employment of aube {tutes, except for persons skilled and actually employed in some mechanical pursuit important to the public interest, or where the person is the only white male aduiton a farm or plantation baving thereon not less than fifty slaves. Ifthe substi- tute deserts, however, the person who empioyid Lim is to serve. The second section provides that the commanders of brigades and divisions, under certain restrictions, may detail to any farm or plantation worked by slaves, when the owner is a femme sols, a minor, or a person in the public service, one enrolled private for dnty. The bill was ordered to be printed. The residue of the ecssicn was occupied in the discussion of Yancey’s resolution to make secret sessions of the Senate the exception rather than therule. The resolution was rejected. In the House a vot of thanks was tendered to Col. Forrest for his recent victeries in Tennes- see. ‘That a portion of Jeff Dav's’ message relating to oe of the army wes taken up and dis- cussed. WHERE 18 MCLELLAN? Who can answer this interrogatory? Can the Government or General Lve} We hope they can. We cannot, nor can the public. It is Known that Mcvle!lan bas again ‘changed his base by a flank movement’ In this case, ax in that of the Chickahominy, the coange was ef- fected without the timely knowledge cf those who were setto watch him. At Berkeley, as at the White House, large quantities of valuable military Bape were destroyed by the fugitive General. The catsugiag flames from his own camps served to light him on his retreat trom the Confederate Capital. But where bus he gone and why did be did be abandon Lis James river base? He took up the line of march :n the airection of W iillamsburg and Fortress Monroe; but whe:her he js stiljon the Peninsula, or has gone u Fredericksburg or Aquia Creek, it were impo: ble yet tosay. If Fredericksburg was his desti- nation, and he went by water, he must have ar- rived there some days ago. If he took the land route he is probably still on the road. Pope occupies the line of the Lest d epi nock inthe direction of Culpeper Court House McClellan (supposing he has arrived there) and Burnside hold Fredericksburg and the lower Rappahannock. The two Yankee armies are thus near enough to each other to hear our artil- lery, should we attack either, and near enough to support each other in the event of a protracted atroggle. If we should drive Pope back, our right flank would be exposed to attack by McClellan and Burnside. Should we give battle to the latter, they would have a river and their gunboats to fall back benind, while Pope might move down our lett flank. The statements will be made evident by 4 glance at the map and the Positions of the enemy. Whether McC e!laa abandoned Berkely to go to the assistance of Pope, or because of the mani- feat folly of any attempt to moye upon Richmond from that base, or an account of the unbealthful- nees of the locality, he and his Government alone cantell. But, whatever the impelling cause may have been, we attach but little importance to the idea that an advance will be attempted upon this city from the lines of the Rappahannock. If the Federal armies can maintain their present posi- tion, and thus insure the safety of their capital, they will probably be content. To thisend ‘heir resent lines are wellchosen. Gen. Lee might eliver battie either upon the right or left oftheir position, but, ifsuccessful, would it be safe to follow up the advantage without first disposing of the other wing? That the Confederate Commander and his brave legions are equal to the emergency, we have not the jeast doubt. Our only object in al- luding to this subject is to give the reader some ideas of the difticuities of the position and the pe of the work before us.—Kichmond 1g. SKIRMISH ON THE RAPIDAN .

Three stands had been erected upon the Com- mon, and when the procession arrived there each wes surrounded by a dense and enthusiastic mul- titude.
