At Ardoeh.Cafflr— which is li touted upon b till rock overlooking the sen — the proprietor, Mr. Gordon, was one orettioR, a little aftarThe middle_ of last alarmed bjr the firing of a gun. century from a vessel near ashore. A storm was raging, and he had every reason to fear that tbo vessel was about to be dashed against that iron-bound coast. Hastening down to tho beach wftli lights j and ropes, lie and his Servants looted in : vain for the distressed vessel. Its fato * was already accomplished, at the float- ! ing spars bat too plainly showed ; but | they looked in vain for any, dead or j alive, who might have como "ftom the ! * wreck. At length they found a sort of crib which had been redely coat ashore, .containing, strange . to tay, a still live j infant. The little creature, wfcqao sin- 1 gulaATate It had been to survive whrre j fu ut any stronger people perisbfd, was i carnolly taken to the house and nursed. ^It-froved to be a female child, evidently (ram lU wrappings the offspring of perteas of no mean (rendition, bat with : nothing about it to afford a trace as to who these were. Mr. Oordoo made some attempts to find the relatives of - this fonndling, but withoot effect. Hoping thst she In *"* ' time might be claimed, be cansed her to be brongk. op along with his own daaghtara. And treatfed in til respects as one of them. The personal graces and amiable character or the child in time made him feel towards her as if she had actually stood In that relation* to bim.— When she had nVajnrd to womanhood a storm similar to that already apoken of occarrtd. An alarm-gnu was fired, and Mr. Gcrdou, as was his wont, harried down to the besot— but" this; H time to receive a shipwrecked party, whom be immediately conducted to his house and treated with hit characteristic kindness. Amongst them was one paatleman passenger, whom be took in- 1 to his own parlor, and entertained at ' sapper. After a comfortable night spent ia tbe castle this stranger was sur prised at breakfast by the entrance of a troop of blooming young ladies, tbe daughters of his host, as he understood, bat oae of whom attracted hlr attention . ia a special manner. 1 "la this young lady yonr daughter, 1 too?" he Inquired of Mr. Gordon. 1 "So," replied bis hokt ; "but she is 1 as dear to tue aa if ahe were " He then related her story. The stranger listened with inereasiog tootion, sold it t ha (dose of the narration, ' ■aid be had reason to belh-ro that the ^ youug lady waa bis own niece. He theo 1 related the circumstance of ■ sister's re- ' turn from India, corresponding to the ^ time of the .shipwreck, and explained * bow it might happen that Mr. Gordon's p Inquiries for her relations bad failed 1 "She is now," said he. "an orphan; bat, c if I am not mistaken In. my supposition, * she is etitftlrd to a handsome provision 1 which her father bequeathed to Iter in 1 the hope of her yet being alive." ' Ere long, sufficient evidence was if. 0 forded to make it certain that the gen- 1 lleman had really, by the strange acci- d dent of the shipwreck, found his lontr r mjfaing niece. It becsme necessary, of 1 coursr, that she should pass under his * rare and teavo Ardoch— a bitter neces- 1 sity to her, as it inferred a parting with * so um; frteeds dear to her. Their " destination a as Gottcubnrg, where the * unele had long bean settled as a mer- 4 cheat. d - — f RWUHCIOFTHSWA*. j, A eotemperarr gives the following n ineWeiit ot fitoaeman's late raid ii.Yir- j e l n, rnmih ml.

They were hurried off j j as rapidly as possible to get out of the | way of our advancing force, and in ~ ; crossing a rapid and deep stream, Lieut. e Henry, commanding tbe rebel force was ; swept off his horse. As none of bis ^ j men seemrd to think dr care anything u about saving him, his prisoner, Lieut. 0 J l'aino, leaped off his horse, seized the 8 drowning man by the collar, sworn '' ; ashore with biui, and saved his life, thus * I literally capturing his ooplor He was n ! sent to RicbmolxJ^th tbe rest of the 0 i prisoners and the facts bring made ' j known to Gen Fitz Hngh Lee, he 1 ; wrote a statement of them to (Jen. r !

Palne, without ^ven parole^, * | promise or condition, and. we presume, i 0 j with tbe compliments of the confvder- ' * : acy. He arrived in Whshlngton on ^ j Saturday ^ost This act of generosity as well as justice must command our * j highest admiration. There is sonic ' j hope for men who can behave in such s ^ i manner. "lint the strangest part of the story is yet to come. Lieut Paine, on arriving In Washington, learned the officer ( whoso life he had thus gallantly saved hud since been taken prisoner by our forces and bud just been confined in the 1 Old Capitol prison. At the last we heard of him he was oil his way to Gen. 1 ' Martiudsle's headquarters ;o obtain a | pass to visit livp beneficiary and benefac- _ lor. Such are the vicissitudes of war. j We could not help thinking, when we heard this story, of the profound obser- • vat ion of Mrs. Gimp : — "Bich is life, i ( rich likevajs is the head ut all things \ heanhly " We leave it to casotists to j dvtnosutw whwUter, whw thpau Jwo-gel lent aoldirrs meet on the bottle Add, ! | they should fight like enemies or em , brace like Christians For our par:, . | we do not beHeve their swords will be j nny the less sharp, nor their zeal any ! the leas determined for this hap-hazard exchange of soldierly eoartesy.
