Pome weeks ago it was annoitneed lliat Lieutenant-Governor Jacoiis of Kentucky had pardoned Rev. Calvin Faikbask out of the penitentiary of that Staid during the tom|)orury alisonee of Oovcriior Kkamlkttk. a eorrcspimdeiit of (lie Ciiicngo Trilmne who iias recently had an interview witii -Mr. Fuirbank, gives the following interesting narrativo :— Tn Novemlicr, 1851, Rev. Mr. Fair-bank was in Louisville on business connected witli 'the Oberliii (Ohio) Institute and while there was made acquainted with the case of a young .slavo girl nearly white, who was endeavoring to e.seiqic to the free States. She was tlio property of one A. L. Sliortwcll, of Ismisvillc, and was named Tamar. The story slie related to Mr. Fuirbank, tliougli sucli as thousands in her condition could triiely relate, so worked on bis feelings and «o aroused bis sympatbies and indignation that bo deteruiinud-to render her esenjie certain. On the night of Novemlier Ü, they crossed the Ohio from Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana. The girl secreted licrsclf in a Geld, whilu ho went in pursuit of a horse and buggy. Before daylight ho got her, cold and benumbed, into the buggy, and that day (November 3d) drove thirty-four milca into Indiana, placed her among friends, and himself returned with the liorsc and buggy to Joffersonville, where ho remained about a week. On his wa/to church the following Sunday, ho was assaulted and seised by William Ronald, the Marshal of Louisville, Kentucky (now Sheriff) and one Htainlett, a watclinmn, assisted by said ShortwcII, and thus kidnapped, ho was taken by force from Indiana into Kentucky. He was thrown into prison in Isiuisvillo, where he lay atiout five months awaiting trial, bail being required in the snin of five thousand dollars, which ho, of course, was unable to procure in that State. On the 25th of February, 1852, Mr Fairbank was arraigned for trial. Although no direct evidence was offered and nothing but the slightest circumstantial evidence given, suchas his being seen in Ijouisvilto on the same night the girl escaped, still being determined to punish him under the slave laws, they convicted him tinder their statute relating to enticing sUvee, and he waa sentenced to fif. teen years imprisonment. During the time of his imprisonmont he was subjected to the most brutal, wicked and inhuman treatment possible. When he first entered the prison, the profits arising from the labor of the prisoners wore divided between the State and the Warden or prison contractor, Each prisoner was required to perform an alloted amount of work, which waa eqaal to what a strong, well man oould do at-the utmost exertion of his strength and endurance. bank rouglily wlintlic was lining tPint for? •Mr. Fuirbank rrplioil tliat Ho tVas doing it by urder of .Jlr. Wliilosido. JeilVios ordered him not to cord up any iiiore wo<KÍ, and .Mr. Fairbank rc[diod that ho must dons dih—tud by the officer liigbcst in authority. .Icffries in a rage seized a stick of Wood and struck 5ir.

And the qualities both of heart and mind which the estimable lady pos.scB«ed, will be best illustruteJ by stating that during all the time of his imprisonment (from November, 1851, to April, 1804.) Mr. Fairbank was the one particular object uf all her thoughts, and her devoted affections. Her loving, cheerful, and hopeful letters. Were as the staff of life to him. Though stripped of all his money, clothing and property, when he was impri.soncd, and after his otiicr means failed, she sent him mohcy with which to supply wants—furnislicd him a bed, bedding, towels, linen, and funds with which to supply himself with suitable food, coffc, tea, &c., and to supply witli such comforts as it was possihle to do, and that he might not be obliged to cat the miserable prison faro wbicb was supplied by the warden. She visited him in person in 1853,1855, 1859,1801), 1863, making constant efforts to procure his pardon. ^ .At length, after twolve years, one month and six days' dreadful imprisonment in the State Prison at Frankfort, beside the four months ho was in jail at Louisville, Mr. Fairbank received a pardon from Lieutenant Governor Jacobs, of Kentucky, and was restored to his liberty. During the last six years Mi.s Tileston has been residing in Oxford, Ohio, as a teacher, whore she might be near Mr. Fairbank, and where she could bo enabled to furnish him with continued means As soon as he was set at liberty he repaired at once to bur place of residence, whore they were married a few weeks since.

Hu alluded to the mdte, hilt earnest pleadings of the animal for that life, us sweet, as dear to him us their own was to them ; nnd the first judgment they might expect, if in selfish cruelly and old-henrtcdncss, they took the life they could not restore again. During this appeal, tears had started to the old man’s eyes, and were fast running down his siin-hunit cheeks; every fueling of a father’s heart was stirred within ; lie saw the future greatness uf his son before his eyes ; lie felt that God had blessed him and his children beyond the lot of rumnion men; his pity nnd sympathy were awakened by the clo<piciit words of compassion, and the strong appeal for mercy; and, forgetting the judge in tho man and tho father, he Sprang from his chair (wliilu Daniel waa in the midst uf his argument, without liliiiklng he had already won his ciuie,) aud turning to his oldest s<,n, dashing thu tears from his eyes, exclaimed—“ Zeko, Zukc, you let that woodehuek go “riiiNTra’s CAN nKAD AxVthino.'’— The preceding remark is often made by corrcsjKindeuts nnd advertisers as an excuse for Iialf-spcHing Words, abbreviating tecbniealities, and slovenly nnd un- faitlifuhiess and liofolhtn of the dog.

Rravc in spirit, and faithful in sagacity, the dog is the proudest of the lieroes of the dumb-brnte creation. Ve.llbWay wc gazed upon one of these dog heroes, and learned his eventful story. Three years ago, when the 11th Ohio Y biiHilb'bf Infantry left Columbus, Ohio, fof lllb field Bf War, a young lady presented to company A bf tliofcgimont, a beautiful hright-cycd spaniel. The dog was young, hhd bb^hmo the pot of the company. Tho men guarded it at ,*irst as much for tlie bright eyes of flio fair lady as for tho docility nnd sagacity of tho animal. The spaniel was named Curly and it early fofititid a Warni Rttnchmont for the company, and sliarcd ih all of its triumpIiH and dangers. The regiment was first thrown into Virguitn, and in all of the bloody scctics of the íhstcl-n campaigns—tho sanguindty battles of McClellan—CUtly followed liis fcompally, and amid tho smoke and flame, fire aiei ear-nage, exhibited a coolness and hiavcry marked aud astonishing. It niattored not where the rempany thargcd, it was followed by tlio faitliful dog. At two different times Ourly was Scfiously wounded on tlic battle-fields of Virgiiiid. The members of tho company kindly dressed tho bleeding wounds and nursed tlicir put until lib Was iigiiin able for the march.— The old lltli witii fich. líóo’lceí’s corps was transferred to the Asmy of tlio Southwest. At liie battle of CÍliíekamauga the faithful dog W.ISrtgain wounded, and .separated ffom the regiment; 'The men lllbtight tliat ho had been killeij; ilnd gave up all hnpcS bf eVst seeing him HgáiH.— About three weeks after the fight, the fegiraciil Was surprised to see the wounded dog coming limping into camp. As •oon as he found hiS bid coinpany,’ Curly exhibited the wildest joy. He was reduced ulinost to a skeleton, and appeared to be suffering deeply. Yet, when fond led by tho men, he harked and wagged his tail with unniiNtaknhIo delight. Skil ful nursing nnd kind nttuntinii had njiow-orful influence on the dog, and he rapidly recruited in strciigtli, nnd grew ronch bettor. At the storming of Lookout Mountain, tho 11th Ohio aided in the gallant cliargo, and bravely faced tho storm Ol leaden hall. Again Curly was unfortunate) he Was severely wounded in the right shoulder by a Mihlo hall, from the effects of which be is now sifffcflttg.— When the 11th passed tHroogff Nashville some two weeks ago c» rotttc fot home, to be mustered out of the service, the faithful animal, in the hustle of the movement, was separated from the men and left behind. On arriving at Ijouisvillc, the regiment offered a largo reward to anybody who would restore to them their idol—the noble. faithful Curly. The reward prompted parties to iiinko ililigcnf search, and yesterday the dog was received fironi Nnsliviile, at tho office of Oaptain Dunn fcoSbPriritiiig OP ALL KINDS-.SPCÍÍ jílí BOOKS.
