APRIL
After the now, before the thunder;
When March no more, with stormy hours,
Heept ea-fowl from the sea asunder,
And space grows thin Witt foam and flowers;
And rainbows come and winds are less,"
And clouds iny now, now pear];—
And
dead mayseem my bitterness,
Drown'd—where the woods their tlars unfurl ,
In music of the merle.
Dead; and a new bine violet wreath
Is found each morning on its grave:
Drown'd; but it dies a harder death
With each fresh spring's returning wave
Dead; but, abi youth being parted, now
Joy is as grief, slayer as slain:
Drown'd; but Its drowning arms, I trove,
Dave clasped me, nor shall loose again,
Till sunset thwarts the maim—
Till sunset thwarts the sea, where striving
Of swimmers is, and wreck of ships;
Till the great giver comes, whose giving
Is sweet, and very pale his lips.
Ab! youth of mine that I have spent!
Can life, thy glorious flush that knew,
Survive thee?—yea; the firmament
Still bangs, nor is one whit less bine,
O'er Hellas and Peru.
°oours of dreaming o'er a tress!
days of glamor, not of gold!
0 unreturning carelessness!—
And yet—the sweet times are the old—
Were they so sweet, those days of old?
Alasl-11 all the west o' th' wind
Of youth be memory,—age"will whirl
A bitter blast on me who find,
Now, scarce more .solace than theohnrl,
In music of the merle.
NEW PITRVICATIONS
ANDREW BRADFORD, TUE FIRI3T NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHER IN TUE MIDDLE STATES. By Horatio
Gates Jones, Esq., a Vice President of the His
torical Society of Pennsylvania. Published by
reeolution of the Society.
Burled without a monument in the grounds of
Christ Church, good old Andrew Bradford lies
lost among the burghers of his day, brit awaits a
recognition from posterity, which few of them
deserve. It has been the graceful task of one
of the most active members of the Historical So
ciety of this State—the same gentleman who
years ago vindicated the title of Pennsylvania
to the establishment of the first American paper
mill—to rescue this worthy name from oblivion,
and to plead for a suitable prominence
for its memory. "We owe," says Mr.
Gates Jones, "some memorial which should
invite the 'passing tribute' which is as
suredly his due. A beautiful cenotaph erected
by the piety of our day now marks the spot
where long lay unhonored all that was mortal of
Godfrey, the• inventor of the quadrant; the genius
of Fulton is soon to receive, in the grounds of
Trinity, New - York, from a juster posterity, a
monument which his own day had not the taste
or the gratitude to erect; while in the highly
civilized countries of Europe, even centuries are
no bar to honors justly due. The Martyrs' Memo
rial at Oxford; the Monuments to Dante at
Florence,—no longer now "ungrateful"—and'the
statues of • Gutenberg and Faust in the cities
which claim their birth, tell us that it is ever time
to pay to departed services and worth the tribute
of public acknowledgment and praise. Why,
then, should not some memorial, even at this late
day, be raised to the founder, in this city, of that
great source of Intelligence, the newspaper press,
which now exercises an influence more extensive
than any other efforts of the art?"
In a .few pleasantly-written pages Mr. Gates
Jones tells what is known of Andrew Bradford,
Franklin's predecessor and rival, and the editor
whose Weekly Mercury was precursor of the Pews.
yleasio Gazette of the latter.Tbe recollections and
traditions left of the earlier printer, and the more
inexorable criterion found in the files of his journal
all indicate a man of singular probity, intelli
gence and advance for the age. His hand
writing, presented in foe simile in this memoir, is
as good as Franklin's. Evidence of his stainless
reputation is furnished in the facts that he se
cured the printing of the Statutes of the Province,
and retained all his life, though active in another
Beet, the typographical jobs of the Quakers of
Pennsylvania. A disposition to forward the re
finement of the colony is even shown in the ad
vertisements of his stationer's shop, where the
articles were fastidiously picked from the choicest
stock of European dealers. In hie day and de
gree, honest Andrew Bradford was an influence
of amenity among the mixed spirits of His Ma
jesty's colony.
Andrew Bradford, the son of that William
Bradford who first printed in Pennsylvania and
New York, was born in Philadelphia in the year
1686. After printing awhile with his father in
New York, he received, it appears, the chance of
a contract with his native Province for the
printing of its legal enactments, and became for
the rest of his useful life a Pennsylvanian. On
Tuesday, December '22, 1719, he issued the first
number of the American Weekly Mercury, a
journal which he conducted with profit to the
close of his life, a term of twenty-three years. It
announces its general ohject to be "the encour
agement of trade." Foreign news, commercial
statistics, custom house entries, including those
of all considerable ports along the coast, and
especially of New York and Boston, took their
large and regularly allotted space in the journal;
and there are occasional literary communications
and extracts from English classics.
Fortunately there is more than one indication
that the issue of this paper was something be
yond a mere cold speculation or advertisement
on the part of Bradford. Mr. Gates Jones bor
rows from Mr. D. P. Brown's "The Forum,''
en account of the way in which the honest jour
nal rated the General Assembly for its inatten
tion to the"dying credit" or the Province,and iu -
cited it to a remedy, and how the editor flexibly
apologised and evaded prosecution. A few years
afterward, however, Bradford,—the heroic reflex
of the spirit of mutiny of the time—inserted a
paragraph,all about Cato,anci "the friends of lib..
erty,"„and "public spirit." He wee taken into
custody for it,and his printing-office searched for
the copy of "the libel." He explained. but never
apologised, appears to have endured a line, and
thus takes his place among the morning stars of
Western in this delivered land.
"From this date," says Mr. Brown, "some fixed
ideas, originating from the press itself, began to
be had about its liberty in Pennsylvania, and we
find both newspapers and pamphlets comment
ing on the concerns of Government with far
greater freedom than they had done before."
So popular was the action of the Mercury
among the Independent Philadelphians of 1725,
.that its editor was soon afterwards elected corm
seaman of theolty of Philadelphia. He continued
to hold this honorable position for the residue of
his life, a term of fifteen years. He was also
elected a vestryman of Christ Church, an office,
at that time especially, of high dignity, and gen
erally conferred on men of the first social stand
ing. To this responsible post he seems -also to
have been 4.unstantly reappointed as long as his
health enabled him to attend to its duties.
The only important hiatus in the memoir, se
published by the Historical Society, occurs at the
most interesting moment, when Bradford's paper
_ comes in contlict with its younger rival, that of
-Franklio. - Mr.-GI/tea-Jones's lecture, it-appears,
when delivered hefore the Society, contained
some account of the hostility between the Brad
fords and Franklin, with particulars not entirely
creditable to the latter. We regret that it has not

Werreepondenoe of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin..
Fan's, Friday, April 16th, 1869.—Tw0 political
incidents have occurred since I have had an
opportunity ot noticing events of that character:
The Emperor has written a letter, and M. de La
valette, the Minister of Foreign..A.fraire, has made
speech. Both these incidente f will, of course,
reach you by telegraph long before this letter;
but It may not be amiss to appreciate them shortly,:
and mention in what light and with what degree
of favor and credit they are received here.
And first, as regards the Emperor's letter, which
is addressed to M. Rouher, the Minister of State,
and concludes, in the usual imperial style, with
the prayer that it may please God to keep that
gentleman in His holy keeping. You will re
member, doubtless, that the 16th of August next,
the French national tete day, is the centenary of
the birth of the First Napoleon, and that there
had already been a talk of all the members of the
Imperial family assembling at Ajaccio to cele_
brute it. But the Emperor has thought the occa
sion favorable.and suitable, as no doubt it is, for
a display of national gratitude to the old soldiers
of the Empire who still survive, and has there
fore, in the letter above spoken of,
proposed to the Chamber to vote a
sum for their better maintenance and support.
When I say that all that is required to be done
for the veterans is to secure them a pension of
250 francs for the remainder of their lives, no
one, lam sure, will begrudge them this very
small modicum of comfort and national gratitude.
130 far every one is agreed; and to that extent the
Emperor's letter is satisfactory at once to the
country and the intended recipients of his
bounty. But Napoleon 111., when he takes the
pen in band, has the cam Lars scribradi strong
upon him, and is apt to turn fine phrases and say
more than Is necessary. Thus, for instance, he
not only writes that Napoleon I 'made
him" (Napoleon III.) "what ho is, oat
of nothing"—which is perfectly true,
but he says, or at least intimates, that the same
Napoleon made France what she is, which is
surely not exactly the case. The France which
Napoleon I. made can hardly be said to be any
longer in existence at all—for Europe undid it;
and the France which still exists was surely far
more the work of the Revolution and the Repub
lic (both of which Napoleon hated) than ot either
the Consulate or the Empire. tee De Tocqueville ,
in his later writings, and many other French au
thors, have so ably pointed out, nearly the whole
of the civil organization and administrative code
of modern France was completed by that
most patriotic and enlightened body, the
first French Constituent Assembly, from
whom the country received its present geograph
ical divisions and local and municipal govern
ments. The First Empire did little but modify
these in an illiberal sense, and add to them the
most frightful military organization under which
any people ever groaned,—an organization
which nothing could justify except necessity, or
the salvation of the country, and which certainly
was not justified by the mere lust of conquest, ot
which it was made the instrument. Napoleon 1'
was a very great man, but far indeed from being
the greatest, so long, at least, as an Alfred in
remote, or a Washington in recent times,
are to be taken as the true types
of such a character. It is at least a moot point in
history whether any benefits which Napoleon I.
bestowed upon his adopted country were equiva
lent to the disasters in which he subsequently in
volved her. Yet hie nephew asserts that it was
be who developed her "manly virtues," and who
still "guides and protects her." Most Americans
will agree probably in thinking that there were
more "manly virtues." in the bare-legged, bare
footed, half-starved and ill-armed republican ar
mies (like their own of old), who kept Europe se
long at bay in defence of French soil,than 1n the
highly conditioned imperial hosts which
subsequently overran the world for the
pleasure of one man. American sympathies too,
will, I think, be rather enlisted in favor of that
French government which so generously chine to
the assistance at their own liberties, than of the
man who first sold Venice to Austria, and subse
quently trod under his feet the liberties of almost
every other nation, as well as his own. What
chiefly "stands upright," as the Emperor terms
it, of the First Napoleon at the present time, is
the pattern of the Imperial constitution which
his successor has reestabliehed;and that le the very
structure which the more enlightened portion of
his own subjects aro this very moment most
anxious and doing their best to pull down again,
The speech of M. de Lavalette is a curious an
tipode to a glorification of Napoleon 1., for it is
a hymn in favor of peace, and as frank and sub
stantial a declaration of a peaceful policy as a
minister under the second Empire can ever have
it in his power to make. The language used by
him has certainly succeeded In creating the im
pression that the French Government, at least,
for the present, sincerely meditates and desires
tranquillity. This in, no doubt, a •homage paid to
the present national feeling, as well as a prudent
submission, also, to circumstances both political
and financial. The Emperor has neither allice nor
money, and therefore cannot desire to go to war.
But how far the national will alone might be con
sulted if the other requisites were at hand, would
probably depend upon those dynastic interests
swhich form 10 large a portion of the Napoleonic
theory of government.
Although the fact will doubtless reach the eyes
of your readers from many other sources, I can
not forbear saying a few weirdo upon the publi
cation of the 14000th volume of the well-known
Tauchnitz edition of English authors, of which
the spirited proprietor, Baron Tauchnits. deter
mined to signalize the appearance by some spe
cial production. The work chosen le certainly
the most universally interesting to the world
which could have been hit upon, being no other
than the New Testament. But the edition now
offered to the public is altogether peculiar, and
quite worthy of the occasion on which it ap
pears. All previous editions, in the vern o
cular, of the sacred narrative have boon founded
on manuscripts of comparatively later date; the
authorized English version being that of Erasmus
.and Biepheits, .taken from rucinuficripla:Pf..:tb,e
tenth century and subsequently. Since those days,
however, Greek manuscripts of a much older
date have been discovered; such as, for instance,
he famous Codex Vatkanus, which, al
though some four centuries . have elapsed
since the invention of printing, has only very re
cently appeared in Rome, under that shape, in
the original Greek. This Manuscript is generally

A siontrlon
[From the New Orleans Picayune, April IL] •
Our venerable fellow-cltizeri, Chas. Harrod,
who lives among us in the quiet autumn of his
life, honored and respected for his virtues and
bis good deeds, has furnished us with the fol
lowing contribution to the history of our ever
glorious battle of the Bth of January, 1815.
• • It has been said that the generally received ac
count that cotton bales were used as breastworks
at that battle was a myth; and many other con
flicting reports respecting them have somewhat
weakened men's trust in the assertions of written
and printed history. It is well that there still
lives a witness, whose personal connection with
the use of the cotton gives him knowledge of its
effectiveness and of the disposal of it; and that he
has thus given to the world the facts to be trea
sured up and recorded in each future editions of
existing histories, or future chronicles thereof,as
may hereafter be published.
NEW ORLEANS, March 19, 1869.—Messrs.
tors of the Picayune—GENTLEMEN: tinderStallding
a discussion is now going on in England as to
the number of bales of cotton that were used by
order of General Jackson in the lines, on the Bth
of January, 1816, having some knowledge of that
transaction, I am induced to hand you a copy of
a note to a friend of mine, dated July 1, 1861, and
that friend, I think, handed it to William 11. Ma
nn, EN., one of the correspondents of the Lon
don Times.
NEW ORLEANS, July 1, 1861.—Dear Sir:—At
your request I hand yon the following memoran
dum, showing the number of cotton bales Bent to
the American lines for use In 1814 and 1815. At
that time I took notes relating to the matter,
which notes were burned some years ago with
my office.
After the battle on the night of Dec. '23. 1814,
in which the Quartermaster-General, Colonel
Platt, was wounded, and at his request, I was
ordered by General Jackson to go into his oll.L'e
as his assistant.
About the 26th of December, 1814, an order
was sent from headquarters to the Quartermaster-
General to send to the lines, I Udall, five hun
dred bales of cotton; that order was placed in the
bands of the writer to execute. At that time
there were but few carts or drays in the eity,and
the roads leading from the city to the lines were
so cut up and muddy that it was quite impossi
ble to transport the cotton by land.
The brig Sumatra, belonging to Cornelius
Paulding, Esq., was laying at the levee at that
time, partly loaded for France, having on board
277 bales of cotton, shipped by Messrs. Vincent
Nolte & Co.
A barge was hired and taken alongside of dia .
brig, with orders to the brig to discharge the cot
ton into the barge, which was done; the 277 bales
of cotton wore taken to the lines and there dis
charged (I believe about the 26th or 27th of De
cember, 1814.) No more cotton was sent to the
lines at that or any other time.
At that time the troops were busily employed
throwing up the breastworks, and about 230 bales
cotton were taken to build a magazine in the gar
den at headquarters, (and near this magazine Ju
dah Tonro, Esq., received his wound.) The cot
ton placed in this magazine was covered with
earth, which made it the form of a sugar-loaf.
A part of the cotton was placed on end in the
line,and a part in what was called the Half-Moon
Battery.
During the battle, January 8, 1815, and in sub
sequent bombardments, the enemy's balls passed
through the bales of cotton, they offering but
slight resistance. The bales used in the magazine
answered a very good purpose, and were not
much damaged by the bombarding.
After peace was made known, all the cotton re
maining (some was lost) was gathered together
by order of Gen. Jackson, and sold for the benefit
of whom it might concern, and the Commis
sioners were named by the C ommanding General
to determine In what way Messrs. Nolte do Co.,
should be compensated for the 277 bales of cotton
taken from the brig Sumatra and used at the
lines, Nolte & Co. to furnish the weights.
The Commissioners named were Benjamin
Morgan, Peter V. Ogden and W. W. Montgom
ery, all merchants and honorable men. The day
the Commissioners met the price of cotton was
fourteen cents per pound, and that price was
awarded to Messrs. V. Nolte & Co., and they re
ceived the money at that price. I do not recol
lect what the cotton taken from the mud and
earthworks brought, but think about $2,200 for
the lot. Respectfully,
CHARLES HARROD.

mite of your nautical experience in making more

What goes he mean (in book 2nd) by saying,
"Australia is near the poles'?
We find it on the map between the 10th and
40th degrees of south latitude.
Has he or the translator made a mistake in
saying, "The meridian, whence one reckons the

Could an ark, a small ork, whose only "defect -
was that it drew more water forward than aft,"
make the swift run of four French leagues per
hour, which is hut a few yards short of twelve
of our statute miles, or about ten nautical miles?
What does he mean by this:—"He examined
the braces, satisfied himself that the stays of the
lower shrouds were in good order, and held taut
ties luttock shrouds, precautions which showed'
the daring of a man bent on speed."
What are the stays of the lower shrouds; the

with the fattock shrouds, which are sometimes
