The wind was now howling and shriek- ing like a thousand demons, and every demon voice in that fearful wind eeemed to scream out for the possession of my little lost self. The terror of my position seemed to make me even colder, and as I sat shiv- 1 ering and shaking in the storm I remem- bered that a new danger had arisen, for the next feeling would be a sense of calm- ness and repose Indicating sleep, and be- in ! down: of up my mind to get out of the wagon and try to walk by the side and lead the horaes, 80 as to keep myself awake.

They turned round with their talls to the wind and tried to run with the storm, My fingers were numbed by the most fearful pain I experlenced and my ears were stinging with the frost.

Oharacter of the Correspondence Re- cently Discovered in Oam- bridge, Md. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun, OamprinGe, Md., December 26.—Some mcnths ago the record of a most impor- tant, Interesting, and, we may say, sur- prising episode in American history, was found slumbering in a box, hidden away In a cellar connected with one of the old- est houses in Cambridge, once the prop- erty of the Murray family, and now be- longing to Col. Clement Sullivane, whose mother is a Murray. This record is contalned in four manuscript volumes,snd embraces a correspondence between Wm. Vans Murray, American minister resident and envoy extraordinrry to the Nether. lands, and Gen. Washington and Alex- ander Hamilton. These lotters were written after the battle of Marengo hud made Napoleon the arbiter of Kurope, and they extend from the year 1797 to the year 1709, This was the period when the young American republic was divided between federalists and republicane, and when the destiny of its future seemed to be trem. bling in the balance. Washington was a federalist, and was supported with the greatest enthusiasm by the brilliant Ham- ilton, while on the other side Jefferson was the leading mind. These parties were also known as the English and French party, because they were sup- posed to represent on one side Knglish conservatism and on the other side the French idea of a universal republic. The term of President John Adams was draw- ing to a close, and the momentous ues- tion was, who should succeed him? Jeffer- son aspired to the positlon, but Gen. Washington distrasted him, fearing, if he became president, that he would join this country to France in a sweeping rev- olutionary crusade. At thistime a subject of universal in- terest was whether Lafayette, the idol the American people, France and adopt our country as his own.

By time the darkness of night had set in and to the other terrors weze added the certainty that I must soon succumb to the fatal drowsy feeling that was stealing over me. 1 wanted to get on the lee slde of the track and lie down out of the wind and sleet. It was only bya most determined effort that I roused elf and strove to think how 1 could ave my life. in the exigency of the danger seemed to sharpen my wits and I saw that my sole chance lay in setting fire to the stack and marmicg myself by its flames. My fingers were 8o numbed and pain- ful that 1 could with difficulty find my matches. There were only a tew in the box, I discovered, and the danger of not being able to get a light in such a furlous wind made me more nervous than ever. 1 knew that I must set it afire from the leeward side or the fire would met last long, tor it had the wind to fan it there would be no chance of its continuing till morning; #0 I tried to light it from the sheltered side. 1 first of all pulled out enough bay to make a little pile, and then 1 earetully struck a match by rub. blng it on my trousers.
