Th'S was Napoleon's strategy when he cut ud Mela? and Yvorniscr in LoinD-irdy, shot up Black at Dim, and conquered Prussia at Jena: anu it was tlio plan of campaign carried out by Moreau at Ilolieulln Vn.

Napoleon was in the habit of saying thai the Autrians have never learned the value cf time, in war.

A Grand Forgkby aJetkcted The (Sciliy Pakty Abbestkd. Yesterday, two of the most darinc aud audacious aUempts at forgery that have been attempted in this citv foriome time past were brouplit to light, and the lorger was arrested. Tbo houses operated ujion wire those ot Jay Coolre & Co. aud Drexel A Co. The ciicumstances are as follows: a young man entered the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., and presented a note purporting to be.lrom the ttrm ot Elliott, Dunn & Co.,' No. 230 Walnut street, requesting the delivery of $15,000 of Beven-thirtv bonds. The note, remarkable for superior orthography, was as follows: "Ban km House oi Killotr, Lunn & Co.. No. 280 Walnut stieet, Phiiauo phia, Juiv 2'), 1853. ' ".Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co., pleura dtlliver to bearer ft teen .tioueand dol ai iu Auzun 7 310 notes, for payment of wliicn please find cuocc m cloted, and oblige "15 (ICO. Elliott, Duhh & Co." Accompanying this was a cbeck, drawn as fol lows: "bo. 19G7. Philadelphia, July 20. 1866 "Kicoud National Ban, pay to tUe oraer of Hesar. Jay Cooke & Co. fifteen thousand six houu dn o dollars. "f16 W0. Elliott, Dunn k Co." The note and check was presented to Mr. Joteuh M. Shotmaker, an employe of Jay Cooko A Co., land by him the matter was promotly reierred to Mr. George Thomas, a member of the film, who of course pronounced both documents forgeries. Telling the man that the notes would be sent to Elliott, Dunn & Co., Mr Shoemaker went at once to their otlice and stated the cir cumstances. The stranger's movements were watched. Leaving the office ot Jay Cooke A Co , he went to that of the Messrs. Drexel. Here he pre sented a note requesting the delivery ot $10,0:10 of the Roman Pontifical bonds, now beiug sold In this city lor the Pope. The note was worded: "July 0, 1866 liossrs. jjrexel A Co : Please Oliver to bearer ten thousand dollar oi tba Koinitn rimtificicU bonds, for payment of winch please find euec.it inclostd, and oblige "Elliott, Dunh A Co." A check for ten thousand dollars, similar to that piesented at the counter ot JuyCokeA Co., was otleied to Drexel & Co. Mr. Oollrey was the clerk who received the papers. He at oiice told the presenter to go with him to the office of Elliott. & Dunn. As they lett the office they were Btopped by Mr. Snoemuker. and the tors er taken into custody. He stated thai he had served several terms in the aruiy, and no w holds a Major's cuiimiit-siou ia tue regular army. The notes arid checks, he contended, were given him by a Mr. Claries Brown, of No. 33 New street, New York, and that he was not aware of their criminal nature. A telegraphic despatcn was at once sent to New York city to learn the truth of the statement. In an hour an answer was received, declaring that no such man as Charlie Brown was ever known at No. 33 New street. The names ot prominent persons in New York were given by th prisoner as refe rences tor his lonesty. Telegrams to these gentlemen elicited answers that they kuow nothing of the torgcr, and he was handed over to Detective Webb. That gentleman went to the Continental Hotel and searched the Major's baggage. In his truuks were found check books, tilled with checks on which he ba.i been practibing the signature ot Elliott, Dunn & Co.. and aletier worded exactly like that presented at the office ot Jay Cooke A Co. These were taken possession of by Mr. Webb. The checks were all printed with the name of Elliott, Dunn & Co. on the margin, and a quan tity ot lefter paper, bearitur the same headiug, was also tound. The whole matur had been careiully and systematically planned. The name ot the hrm is Elliott A Dunn, and but tor th s discrepancy and the bud spelling of the notes, the attempt would have been successful. The attempts were undoubtedly the first erlorts ot the forger. When ai rested and confronted with -the evidence ot his guilt, be was dumb founded. He denied his guilt until late tn the day, when he made a clean confession. He was locked up for tuture action. He Is apparently about twenty years ot age, and bears the marks ot bororaole wounds, received while gallantly serving in the ranks of his country. He says that he is the possessor of wealth, but ambition and avarice spurred him to the act. Py birtU ho is French, and speaks aud writes that language with perlect fluency. Soldiers' Monument. There Is now on exhibition at the marble yard ot Henry 8. Tarr, Gieen street, above Seventh, a maenilicent monu ment, just completed, aud about to bo erected by the citizens ot'C'atasauqua, Pa., to perpetuate the meiL or y of those Iroai that vicinity who loughr, lor freedom aud to crush rebellion. The design Is exceedingly cnuste and appropriate. being six Icet square at base and twenty-six feet nign, wuu me American naff iiiruwu over a 'j fluted column, and hanging in graceful folds J around its Bides, while ouihetop la the American J eagle, in the act ot defending the nag trom Its enemies.

Michael Morgan, who was arrested on suspicion ot setting tire to a frame building in the rear of tecond street, above Race, a week or so ago, was before the Aldetnianat the Central Sutton yesterday for a final hearing. There was not any additional testimony heard, and the accused was required to give bail in $'2Mil) lor his appearance at the next term of the court. The evidence upon which the binding ever took place was alto gether circumstantial, and the suspicious clr cuuiclances against the defendant were that shavings bad been dropped ltoru the room he occupied In another building, down a flight or two of stairs, and to the place set on tire, and that some tar had been taken from Mr. Mongau's room ai d used to kiulle the firs.

PniLAI)ELTIIIA, SATURDAY; TllE PHILADELPHIA Homoeopathic V. epical Society has (tint held an aniourned nin'tiiig to consider ihesubect of cholera. The President, R. Gardiner, was in the Chair. Toe Chnuman ot the Committee on Cholera called attention to some recommendations tn lormer repoiti, upon which the society bad as yet taken no action. A resolution was passed requesting the mem bers to turnish the Secretary with statistical reports, together with the results ol treatment of all cases ot cholera that may comd under their care, so that he might preserve thorn and publish them Irom time to time A paper on cholera was read by Dr. Kent, in In which an interesting case much reiembling this disease was related, and the homoeopathic muiuu Kuiea tne case ind.cated. u i 9 lor(,fl bad seen the same case, and thought it was sporadic cholera. H had also been called in hs own practice within a lew days to a case presenting all the characteristics of the disease in its last stage, and which proved latal iu a lew hours, in a state of collapse. He did n.t think the term Amatio cholera should be applied to these sporadic cases. Such casus occur every summer. Dr. Btishrod W. James detailed a ease, which was attacked a lewnichts since with several symptoms which characterize this malady, such as violeut cramps in the abdomen and limbs, vomiting aud purging, haggard countennuce, lost ot voice, and coldness of the extremities. There whs no rice-water colored dejections, and he did not consider the ca9e anything more taau nn aggravated cae of cholera morbus. Tue PhUeut speedily recovered . under the use of nomuiopat bio medicines. Dr. A. Koch bad seen many cases of Asiatic cholera while Government physician at Munich, during an epidemic of it at that place, aud also many cases ol sporadic cholera, such as occur eveiy year in our large cities; and he said there was no diagnostic diiiereuce in the symptim-t ot thecuses). Dr. Jacob Jeanes, who has seen several epidemics ol the disease, including tha' ot 1832 in our city, concurred in the same view. The discussion was con riuued until 10 o'clock, and was lurther participated in by Dn, Ganso, Lippe, D. James, Frost, Leach, and J. Koch. A communication announcing the formation of a new Homoeopathic Medical Society in Ena and Crawlord counties was read by the Seere tary. The meeting adiouroed over until tall, unless the Cholera Committee or Secretary should deem it necessary to be called together sooner. An Ungenerous Lodger. Charlotts J. Gallagher wus committed yesterday lor the alleged larceny of several articles of wearing apparel. Defendant had applied to Mrs. Simp son, residing on the Fraukford road, above Laurel, for lodging, aud was provided for, and she lelt the house early on the 'ollowing morn ing, at which time the clothing was missed Soon after her arrest, the mising articles were lound at a second-hand shop where Bhe had sold them. Alderman Snoeinaker held her for trial. MATTERS 0VEH THE RIVER.
