tion, with Hurras lor its l'rcsidcnt,
nought to (rovt'ru the ruulin with Ions
anarchy, and nmra uidar, loo!::n fur
the tlmo when they could safely abol
ish the deulh penult-, tint the rank
Mid reckless .lucobms, with tueir en-
tiro disregard for all things orderly
and huniuno were not crushed out. On
llio tirst of thia October, of 1795, lull
thirty thousand of them were in arms,
sworn to overturn the government oi
the Convention, and to take the con
duct ot ultiiit'H in their own hands.
Paris was divided into seelions, like
the wnril s of our American cities, and
this L'iiiiit insurrection was bended hy
the leaders of these sections. In the
seclitin culled Lciiulletier were the
most inlluential of these loaders, and
ihere was tho centre, or focus, of tbo
giithcnng storm.
At length tbo Convention received
intelligence of tbo movement, and tho
members weto greatly alarmed, as
well they might bo. There were at
least thirty tbousand of tho insurgents,
and they were well and thoroughly
armed. The Convention hud only a
skeleton of the Nutionnl Guard for de
fence, and that guard numbered not
more limn five thousand, and not thor
ougbly organised at that. Not an
other help could tho government cull
to its ii i I . While the Convention was
yet deliberating on the fearful nil Mil
lion the tocsin of revolt was sounded
in the section of Lepelletier, drums
wetu bent und armed bodies begun to
liSMcmblo. General Menou was sent,
at the head of a considerable force, to
dispcrso them. lie was a kind-hearted,
sympathetic man, and be attempt
ed lo reason with tho riotous leaders;
and t.t length, when ho found ihey
were increusing in numbers, and that
the- wero determined to press on, bo
disgracefully turned and fled.
This was a dark day tor tho Con
vention for I'nris for France! What
should bu tliiue? It was not unknown
that the insurgent host had increased
to forty-five thnuitnd men, and that
their iilatis were luiil lor inarching up
on the Convention. It meant aimpiy
another carnival of blood and horror.
At this time a young uiuu had just
arrived in I'uris Iroin Toulon. His
name was Napnlcnn Honapurte. Ho
was a General. of tho lirigailo, and bud
performed great things ut the South
ern seaport. Harms knew him well
had been with bim at Toulon, and
knew just what sort of a man ho was.
U e have but livo thousand guards
men to set against this whelming
force," said Barroa to tbo Convention ;
"but there is a man in Paris whoso in
dividual prcnenco at the head of our
National Guard will render thorn suf
ficient lo the work. Wo must place
Genertl Bonaparte in command ol our
national forces."
Hut tho Convention had great lulth
in Hurras, and they insisted that ho
should assumo tbo command. To tbia
ho agreed on condition that Bonaparto
should bo appointed second in com
mand under him. ...
Napoleon, who had watched nar
rowly all that hud been done, and who
bad been disgusted with the ignomini
ous retreat of Menou, thus giving tho
insurgents tho first mlvantugo, was
sent lor to come to the Convention.
Ilocamo and was introduced by tho
President. The members were aur-
prised. Could Bsrrus bu in earnest?
Tbt y beheld in tho horo of Toulon a
smuii, slim, pule -diced, beardless youth,
looking to lu not mure than eighteen
or nineteen years ot age. 1 ho rresi-
dent explained to htm tho character ol
the lorce and unnumuiil they hail on
hand, and then asked :
"General Bonaparte, aro yon willing
to undertake, with this, the defense of
the Convention?"
"Yes!" was tbo only word spokon
in reply. , .
There wua a litllle hesitation and
then the President asked : "
"Aro you awuro of tho magnitude of
w lint you unoerluke lo u I
Napoleon raiacd himself 1o his full
stnltiro, and as bis eagle eye flashed
upon those who sat Hour the President,
he seemed to have grown to be a gimit.
They quailed before tho burning glunco.
"1 uuilerstuiiU purieeliy, he replied ;
"and I am in the habit of accomplish
ing that which 1 undortako. But one
thing indispensable: I must have the
unlimited command, entirely ntilrum
moled hy any orders from tho Conven
tion.
There was no time for debate. The
insurgents were in arm", and already
advancing. Aapoleons terms wero
acceded lo and he was placed in com
mand. It is tlotiMtuI it the captain
ever displayed his great qualities ol
genius, skill and couragu more em
phatically than on this occasion. Ho
showed that tho truo powers of the
baltle chiuf wore not to be gamed hy
study ; I hoy were born wilh the man
Moments wero precious. Aa wo
bavo already said, tho insurgents to
the number ol between torty anil tlity
thousand, anil all armed, wero organ
ized, and in motion. A short distunco
from the city wore forty pieces of can
non, with tho machinery intact aim
caissons supplied Willi ammunition
This park of artillery tho insurgent
leaders bad mnrKcil, ana meant lo so
euro it very soon. They did not nocil
tho field pieces ouito yet. Among rua
ptdeon'a otlicers who had served with
him. and whose duality ho knew, was
a votinc captnin named Joachim Mu
rat, whom be dispatched to soeiiro
tbeso guns and bring them to tho city.
At the head of threo hundred nicked
cavalry, Murst was quickly duelling
awar at hesniong speed, ami arriron
at the park just as a hand of Jncnbin
soldiery, sure ol tbo prey, had hitched
lo some ot tho limbers. 1 her wero
no lives liatt there.. Mural's charge
was like a whirlwind, and the Insur
gents dew before it like thslT before
wind. The guns were conveyed safe-
If,
to Paris, anil hy Napoleon taken to
e Tuillcriea and so placed as to sweep
with I heir mnaalea orery avenue lead
ing to that all Important quarter, for
in this placo tho young commander
caused to bo stored all tho arms, am
munition and provision which bia en
ergetic details had found and selr.ed in
different parts of the city.
, There ia no need tbat we give in de
tail all that Napoleon did during the
slnglo night of the fourth of October.
Tba majority ot our reader would
gather no Information of value from
the oDiimorallon of tba lorllflod points
and passes. UtitTic it to say that the
nan who bad undertaken, with Ova
CLEARFIELD,
thousand mon, to ovorcomo flvo and
forty thousand reckless, desperate In
surgents, did not aloep. Every point
was lookod to, and every post manned
undur his own eyo. And, mind you,
he not only plannod for eonquost, hut
he planned for reverses as well. He
had found retreat necessary, bis place
of retreat was selected, and every pro
caution taken against surprise, and
against tho coming in of munitions or
assistance to tho enemy..
In tbo meantime the insurgent soo
tiona wero preparing for the onset.
They know tbat a General Bonaparte,
from Toulon, was arranging to opp'ose
them, but they luughcli at tho idea.
Huh f what could he do wilh the sec
tions of Paris? Ho conid only sum
mon tho Convention's guard, and for
that insignificant body tbey cared
nothing. They bad organised an in
surrectionary government; had passed
an act outlawing tho National Con
vention ; and had established a court
oi tribunal of justice for the trial and
punishment of such as should persist
in rosisiing their authority. When it
cumo to organiio for military move
ment there was not only Jacobin Gen
erals ol experience and known cour
ago to lead them, but many oflicera ot
tbo ultra Royalists.
We buvo spoken ot tho .National
Guard as being truo to the Convention,
becattso when they rebelled they ceas
ed to be National troops; but in reali
ty the bulk of what is properly termed
the .ulioinil Ouuril, ut least thirty
thousand of them, well officered and
thoroughly armed, and led by tho vet
eran General Dunican, wore the insur
gents. v
Napoleon luid perlormed bis marvel
ous work during tbo nightof tho fourth
of October. The morning of the fifth
duwnod upon Paris in arms. The alarm
bolls ol the sections wero ringing, and
from many qnarturs the long-roll was
sonnding. Tbo insui gents gathered
rapidly, mustering at appointod rcn-
degvous, and at an early hour were
reudy to march. 1 hutrprst point was
tho('onvention, which they meant to
sweep from existence. They laughed
to acorn the Idea ol serious resistance
to their overwhelming numbers. Tbey
held in utter contempt the poor troops
which the Legislative assembly could
muster. At last the bugle-blast was
sounded by Dunican'B herald, and the
tens of thousands ol insurrectionary
soldiera murched with wild, demoniac
shoutings to the work of blood and de
vastation, feeling euro of an early vic
tory. In tho Convention the members,
some in their seats, and Borne gather
ing at the windows, trembled with
alurtri. They beard tho yells of the
infuriate mob, and knew that their
lives were in the issue. Could their
youthful General save them? 1
Napoleon, as he stood by the aide ol
a gun near the Tuillerios, looked older
than ho hud lour anti-twenty hours be
fore Still pule, but calm and stern,
bo stood, resolved to do or dio. "Let
Ibem strike tbo first blow," ho said,
and then added, in a manner which
thoso who saw and beard never lorgot,
1 will take the responsibility of the
second !"
Ero long tbo insurgents came in
sight, in aerricd, plunging masses with
music Bounding and flugs flying came
trom every quarter, completely filling
t lie street, and blockading ovcry avenue.
They were eagor and jubilant, those
in the rear trying to gut to tho front
thai they migni nave one snot at tue
Convention's troops, for they did not
believe tho meagre squad would dare
to resist the populace of Paris, On,
on they came, until tho heads ol the
columns were within easy range ot
Napoleons guns. Un, still turthor,
hooting and clamoring lor tho blood
of tho members of the Convention:
and at length they opened the ball of
tho morning with a discharge of mus
ketry. '
A discbarge ol musketry from the
insurgents I It wua the signal ol their
doom 1 Instantly every cannon charg

and tbey are many make a bee lino for

sible portion of the entire lot. 1 do
not wish to be understood to say tbat
the above class include all comers.
There are many old miners from other
diggings, and many sensible, industri
ous men from tbe States among the
arrivals, who are of benofit to the com
munity and who will unquestionably
in the end see uro a rich reward for tho
labor and privation that they thus vol

"pilgrims" are from tbe counters, desks
and schools of the Slates more boys,
sana oxporionco, never having been
Btibjected to manual labor of any kind,
nd very bttlo work at all.
Of tbe section thus fur known to con
tain gold there is but little open for
location, wbilo the country already
unsuccessfully prospected reduces tho
extent of torritory in which minorula
may posBibly yet bo found to a vory
email area. The gold bi It of tho hills
extends from the Bear range, on the
extreme northwest, to French crock,
on tho southeast, and is about twenty
or twenty-five miles in width. Of tbia
belt tho southern portion, whilo il may
bo eventually mado to pay by tho in
troduction of machinery, is not calcu
lated for the poor man, and consequent
ly cannot be worked by tbo class of
peoplo that aro now inhabiting the
hills. "Poor Man's diggings" aro con
fined to ono district on Buttle creek,
Dcadwood and httnwooU wilh their
little tributaries, and the Sand creek
region filtcen miles northwest of here.
I'pon none ot tbeso can a claim bo se
cured other than by right of purchase.
Itotwcen Bund creek ana Deauwooo,
for eight miles directly north of tho
latter place, and for a short distanco
southwest, there aro small unexplored
traeta upon which the increasing pop
ulaco may settle, but conceding all
those districts to be mineral bearing,
there would then bo territory sufficient
for only a small portion of Iho hun
dred tbousund people that will be bore
by July 4th. .These facts are admitted
by ovcry disinherited person, and as a
result the unfortunate non-claimant,
casting about for tbo next best thing,
rests bis eyes upon tho tar distant.
The Bin Horn mountain, about which
there is much lulk, and of which most
wonderful stories are told regarding
tho immense wealth, being equally dis
tribntcd over a territory four times
largor than the entire Black Hills, pre
sents inducements unequalled by any
mining district in the known world.
The mountain ia about two hundred
miloa west of Dcadwood, on the North
Plntto rivor. It is broad, very high,
and trends off to tho northwest somo
two hundred milos, and then turns
westerly towards Yellowslono park
and lake. At the bend it is cut in two
by the Big Horn rivor, which has ex
cavated a deep cannon sixty miles long,
near tho lower end ot which, and be
tween it and the Yellowstone rivor,
Fort C. F. Smith waa located in 1807.
From the northeastern base flow Pow
der, Tongue, Rosebud, and Little Big
Horn rivers, all snid to contain gold
in their alluvium beds. At its western
base many small streams are found,
overy ono boing reputed aa equal to
f. - i ..i i- i . : . fl'i.-l i.i
any in tue j.ibck i t his. i ne oHcaiiuiir,
or granitoid portions of tho mountain,
has, during the past year, been explor-
ed by several bold adventurers, who,
tlotlging, biding irom or nguiing tue
hostile Indians have succeeded in re
turning wilh sacks full of lino, beauti
fully pure gold, and with most bo
witching accounts of tbo wealth and
beauty of the country.
Tbeso statements are partially sus
tained by Capt. W. F. Reynolds, who,
in July, 185!), under orders from the
War Department, explored both the
Bit; Horn and the Black Hills. In bis
report he says that "vory decided evi
dences of the existence ot gold wore
discovered In the Dig Horn, and some
indications in tho Black Hills," thus
giving proedonco to tho former. J. K.
Vt Hson, commissioner oi mo general
land office lor about twenty years,
aaya in bis report for 1808: "Gold is
known to exist in tho Powder and Big
Horn nvors. As early as la!, l.ient.
Maynadcor wroto of tho country,
"there is every renson to beliovo that
the mineral wealth of the mountain
ous portion is very great." Many at
tempts have boon mado to aeltlo in the
mountain lor a lull development oi tno
land, but Indiana havo invariably
provon too hostile and atrong. The
massacre oi uoi. reiuirman anu ninety-six
soldiers, In lHltll, at Fort Phil
Kearney, and the surrender ol tbe
Forts in that country in 1807-08, end
ed all prospecting until within the
past year. Now it seems probable
that the question of gold or no gold
will be speedily settled.
I find that tho placer claims along
White wood and Dcadwood gulches,
although conparativoly lew in number,
havo not been overruled or overslutcd
as reirarda their valuo. The Wheeler
olaim netted tho lucky owners the
anug aum of nearly $400,000 last year,
including the purchase price, and the
claim ia still paying well. This la,
however, an exceptional bit ot land ;
but the major portion of tho districts
named are exceedingly rich, the aver
age yield of each being sufely placed
at $-l0 per day or $50 to each man.
1 recently visited the Dolstord olitim,
which is No. . Cape Horn district,
two mile below Dcadwood, and four
milea from the Wheeler claim. The
property la owned by Martin Gibbon,
ot Kentucky, and A. J. Botsford and
Walter Stone, of Rncino, Wisconsin.
Those boya, wilh the help of three as
sistants, "cleaned up" over $200,000

Iiaatlwood gold is generally ralbcf
coarse, and vory rusty, so much ao
that the novice often mistake it for
the ordinary black und that lingers
to the last in the pan. Botsford gold is
singularly enough, as bright, tine, and
uro as any taken elsewhere in mo
ills. Those boys havo largo quartz
interests in tho vicinity of Lend City,
and a stamp mill that is pounding out
three or four hundred dollars per day.
Quarts is occupying much attention,
not only of canilalists, but of poor min
ers and prospectors, who have no ditH
culty in cll'ecting a ready sale, ot a
large price, ol every goou leaa iney
strike. Tbe quartz is entirely differ
ent Irom that found anywhere eluo in
tbo world, being more of tho nature of
cement than of solid rock, soft, and
eaHily milled. In color it is maroon noar
tho surface, the shade deepening as
tho vein sinks.
I recently viaited tbo Wsolcy lode,
at tho invitation of tbo owner, Major
Woolcy, and was ehown into ono of
the ricbost and most conveniently lo
cated mines in the hills. Two tunnels
enter tbo lead, one at tho southern ex
tremity running eighty feel through a
mass of solid ore, tho littlo specks of
gold scintillating in indescribable bril
liancy as we bore our torches down
the cut. Tbe mass of ore in sight was
estimated to be worth $75,000. Tbe
other tunnel runs crossways on the
lead, is over fifty feet in length, and
still hna not traversed tbe vein. Tho
roof of thia cut is naturally formed by
what appears to be ono huge slate
slono, us smooth and regular as mar
ble, and extending, unbroken, Irom
the opening to tbo further end.
Ore trom the Woolcy lode will assay
and average (40 per ton, and as tbo
mine is so situated tbat rock can bo
dumped from tbo tunnel into tho mill,
avoiding the necessity of cartage, the
cxpenso of mining and milling will not
exceed fO per ton, thus giving a net
profit of $34, which with a twenty
stamp mill, will afford a daily revenue
of b'80.
Tho country around Guyvillo and
Central presents, to a spectator stand
ing on an elevated spot, an appearance
snnilur to a pruirio dog village. Pros
poct holes, shafts, tunnels, Ac, arc
scattered over tho fuce of tho bills,
without regard to direction, distance,
or tho rights of others, and upon near
ly overy claim a largo forco of men is
employed, which gives to tho picture
an animation most agreeable to the
eye. Oro is of ono quality, tho dark
maroon, Ireo gold abounding in tno
greater portion, and aa fur aa 1 can as
certain, ono mine is equally rich with
ono'.her.
Heretoloro attention of quartz min
ers bos been devoted to gold-bearing
rock, but they have lately received in
formation that has caused a diversion,
and now silver occupies almost as
much attention. An old prospector,
in tho employ of a company of capi
talists, returned from a tour yesterday,
bringing with him specimens of Galena
oro and native silver quartz, which are
claimed to bo fabulously rich. I also
understand that this is the first instance
known of tho discovory ot a nulivo
silver lead. In the specimen brought
in, the bright, pure molnl stands out
from tho alone in tho boldest relief and

At noon on Tuesday of last week, the

Ono of tho most important of thoir
naienls waa tho old llowo patent for

otherputent was lor the tour-motion

Fitzgerald patent. This also expired
three years or more ago, and waa like
wise a relief to the outsido manufac

royalty lor ita use, as it wua an cssen
tiul in every machine.
Tho last patent which thev hold, and
tho one which expired last week, is

is for what la known as tho needle

A representative pi llie .lew lork

olllccra of tbe great eewing machine
companies in that city, thus relates
what two ot tbe most powerful compa
nies havo to say on tho subject :
Al Ibo Nnger Manulucturing Com
pany's office ibo. President aaitl : "There
was a lime wnen a great competition
aroso as to who should sell tho most
machines. Tho Singer outsold tho
others largely, but there was a loose
ness in tbo way in w hich people who
could not get trusted for a bushel ol
coal wore put in possession of a $75
sewing machine, which resulted in
many losses to tuo companies and a
great clamor from dishonest peoplo
mainly against tbo lease system. 1 bat
system will have to be stopped now,
as we shall have to reduce our prices
almost immediately. 1 be lease system
has been tbe means of enabling many
poor peoplo to buy a sewing machine
who would never bavo got ono in any
other way. This change will undoubt
edly prove of benefit to the peoplo wilh
cash to puichnso machines."
Tho President of tbo WhoelerA V il-
son Company said : "Wo will furnish
our ua machine to any ono woo will
take tho number from us which we
sell annually for 120 each. Nothing
but tho protection atlordcu by patents
has brought tbo sewing machine to ita
present perfection." Ho added : " In
other countries, liko Geimany, where
thoy buvo been allowed to piruto our
inventions, tbey have never made a
single original improvement In their
machines, but horo thoro bus been a
constant strife lo improve them by
outsiders, and we inside have uao
money to work on thorn. It cost us

We have not yet decided what will bo

his honeymoon, with throe wivos pa
tiently awaiting his return totho bosom
of his family.
