A SoN OF TIM thtEAT NAPOLEON' BEFORE
SEBASTOPOL—It is said that General Canrobert
is believed to he the son of the Emperor Napo

the early portion of his life in the enjoyment of
the ease and insmiciance which a large fortune
can hestowond it was not until called from his
life of dissipation to attend upon the dying bed
of his mother that he learned the secret of his
birth. Immediately, notwithstanding the ac
cession of fortune suddenly acquired •by his
mother's death, notwithstanding the habits of
idleness and luxury he had indulged in ever
since his birth, he - declared that, with such
blood in his veins, he should scorn to remain
inactive. lie instantly set out for Algiers as a
volunteer in the Chasseurs, and has risen by
slow degrees to the station he now occupies.
The moral effect of his relationship to the great
Napoleon has been immense upon the troops
under his command and enaliled him to obtain
an ascendancy which St. Arnaud could never
acquire.
A CHILD KILLED BY A RAT.-A Most singu
lar and fatal occurrence took place at the house
of Mr. B. M. Morris, at. Richmond. Va., about
two weeks since. We learn from the Post
that about six months ago, a negro woman, in
the employment of Mr. Morris, heard her child
cry, in the room next to her, and went in to
see what occasioned it. She saw as she enter
ed the room a large rat running off from the
child. who was lying on the floor, and upon
approaching the infant, she found a bite upon
its cheek, which bled profusely. The mother
thought nothing of the accident, and about two
weeks since was again called into the room by
the crying ()flier child. Upon getting in. she
saw a large rat leap from the bed, and taking
up the infant, which was about seven mouths
old. she found that it had Keen severely bitten
on the mole of the head. No attention was
paid to the matter, in consequence of the4rilling
character of the wound. and a few hours af
terwards the child died. Dr. Wilson, who
had the case under consideration, gives it as
his opinion that the bite caused death.

To the Editor o“he..gitat.
,
Dean Sin l—Recent events-liar erendered it
proper for me to resume the epistolary corres
pondence which had been suspended for a con
siderable length of tune between us. On ordi
neiryoecasions, it gives one pleasure to renew
and revive the social intercourse that an inter
change of sentiments is calculated to produce
between congenial spirits: but in the present
instance, I am sorry to confess that this happy
result' is not likely to crown our correspon-'
deuce. For troy own rem; lam ready to ineet
you half way—but you setro to be uncompro
mising, unsocial.'and unwilling, to make any
restitution for the past, or any promises for the
future. I thought, when I last addressed you,
that matters would take emote favorable tern
-that.tinie would bring. shout the cure of the'
distemper that seemed to be 'the offspring of:
impetuosity and impulse and that a little so- -
ber reflection. together with the suggestions
and statistics that I presented,' from time to
time, to your consideration, would render you'
proof against a future relapse and against a
similar attack. It is needless
,to assure you
that the, last Star Spangled Ba nner .siattered
to the four winds of heaven. these idle hopes.'
k suppose yon understand :me as Wilding to
your strictures on the electron of Speaker of the
House of Representatives of our beloved
tornmennealth. In referring to andeimiment
ing- on
- this very important afitir,you could-not
but larse into your old song about the "Locos'3''
foe° bid for the Catholic and Foreign vote."
It seems you can not appreciate the imligni
ty you commit against the American Character;
the insult yen offer to the sovereign people of -
these United States in thus drawing the line
of distinction between her citizens, by thoSe
unjust and uncalled fdr allusions to the 'religions
and birth place of many of them. The result
of the late election in this county, it would:
seem, malls you not a little. As it pained you,
to record a result altogether unfainiliar. to your
columns,. it seems you have adopted-a course
which should, in your huirible servant's esti- -
motion, be altogether unfiirrillinr to the columns
of the -journals of a country that boasts of . be
ing the asylum for the persecuted and oppressed
of all nations. Previous to the election, when
you raw the shado of the coining event which
you feared would 5e "unfamiliar to yonr col
umns," you condescended to address "a word
to your Catholic friends," occupying wore
than a column of your paper; in whieb you
undertook the delica,e task of deciding for
them between their 'real and their prifessed
friends, with all the gravity of an experienced
logician, and with the apparent authority of a
master of ancient and modern history. You .
evil; hacked your fittherly interfeienee with a
gentle. guit;lhat, should they not hearken to
your tonely ailmenitiOn, the great conservative-
Whig party might find it necessary to change -
itsground, by openly, fearlessly andfiria% ar
raying itself against those that might consider
it their duty to abandon it. This, 1 presume„-
you did not consider a bid, a t &eat, and a re
tainer for the Catholic and Foreign vote. And
why Simply because you were the prhpo..
ring party. Had the ease been the reverse,
and your neighbor of the "Compiler" the
thruster nod the threatener, the whole world
and the rest or mankind . would not hear the
end of it this side of doom's day,, should you
both be so long spared.
- You saw the great conservative Whig party
being swallowed up in the Know Nothing
vortex of the day, and it seemed music-to your
ears. - You saw, and : still see, the Democratic
party bottling against this,new Angled ion,"
with the same boldness, the same ilrinness and
the same loyalty to the laws and the aonstitu
tion that it has evinced on all occasions whets
her-principles, and the principles of the coun
try, were sought to be comprotneoel ! This
you could not brook, to this you could not
subscribe, because it was the reverse of the
course adopted by you and your party ; and
hence you mistook and miscalled fi delity to_the
constitution', and the observance of the "golden •
rule," "a bidfor the Catholic and Foreign vote."
"0 the times and the manners."
Every time 1 hetryou rant about "Locolo
coiSnt bidding tbr the Catholic and Foreign
-vote," 1 ani _forcibly reminded of the result of
the recent election in this county, which you
said was "altogether unfamiliar to your col.'
nmns." You should he the last MR this side
d the Ottoman Empire to stir up these things
afresh. You trust presume a little too mien
ore the ignorance or forbearanee of your read
ers if yen imagine 'they cannel see and talk_
about the vacillating course of the late Whig
party in this county, of which you professed
to be the leader; the standard bearer. Do you
suppose' they
. have forgotten -the manner ins
which you dispatched vour . regularly nomina
ted Neely ? " l)o you think they can not prop
erly estimate the principle, the consistency
evinced by your "Star party," iv bile it estensi , -
bly professed to support the, settled ticket, iii
order to retain the "Catholic and Foreign;
vote," and at the same time was vecret& con
ceiving and bringing to perfection, "early in
Me canvass," the systematic plan of marshalling ,
the "great mass of the %% hie party" to go
"over to Wilson"—yes, to Wilson, the very
antipode of
,your former Conceptions of Whig
gery . Was there, sir, ever a more wanton dis
regard for principle ; for men, or fof anteceT
dents and former professions, tha'n thiS umeernt
revolution evinces ? If there is any on record,
do let us have it. The only thing that. in my
estimation, at all approximates towards it, 'is
the ctrang&hat has come over the dreams of
the Whig party in regard to secret societies..
This doesnot compare with that in regard to
rapidity and suddenness. Still,l helievv - there
are m in Gettysburg who could prove by
sad exilerienee that the "accustomed polieyof
the Whig party was net to nominate its can
didates without stopping to inquire whether
or. not they belonged to secret orders." It those
men could beforcryl to divulge the secrets or
your party, 1 tent confident that they would
bear me out in this assertinn_ To them 1 ap

The Old Issues Coming Up.
The Philadelphia North American is very .
earnest in advo'ating the restoration , of the
United States Bank. The Bliffuro Express andl
other papers signify a willingness to accept
such an institution--as a measure of relief:
I A number of Whig papers intimate a wilt
ingness to support the passage of a General
Bankrupt Law—as a measure of relief.
The" Protectionist papers revive their old
I theories, and would organize anew their larcen
._
ous .cherries—for the relief of the country.
The side organization of the Whigs, in the
lodges, proposes to revive the alien and sedi
tion laws, to limit religious liberty, and pro
scribe alien born Americans.
There will be something_ for_ Democrats to
do for the nest half dozen years : for these
an of schemes_ of paper money, repudiation, extor-

to promote the interests and f'ed the prejudices
of an exclusive class.--.llbany .91las.
