THRILLING SKETCH--BATTLE OP
the pyramids.
by JOIIS 9. C. ABBOTT,
Cairo 18 on tha Eastora Bank of tbo Nilo.— ,
' Monrad Boy bad there assembled the greater
part of Mamelukes, nearly ten thousand ltrnum
. tier for a decisive battle. These proud and pow
, erfnt horsemen were supported i>y twenty-four
thousand foot soldiers, - strongly entrenched.-
■ • Napoleon ■was -010x011106 along the western shore.
'On the 21St of July, Napoleon conscious that he
was near the city, set his army in motion before
the break of day. Just as the sun was rising m
those cloudless skies, tho soldiers, beheld the
lofty minarets of the. city,-upon the left, gilded
’ by US rays, and upon tho right, upon the bord
ers of the desert, the gigantic pyramids risiog
like mountains upon nn apparently boundless
plain. The whole army instinotively halted, and
gazed awe-stricken upon those monuments of
antiquity. , ... , .
Tho face of Napoleon beamed with enlhnsi
- asm, ••Soldiers," ho exclaimed, as.he rode along
' thoranks: “from those summits forty centuries
- contemplate your notions.” The ardor of the
soldiers was aroused to the highest-pitch..- Ani
mated by the clangor of martial bands, and the
gleam of flaunting banners, they advanced with
impetOus steps to meet their foes. The whole
plain before them at the base of the pyramids,
was filled with armed ipen. The glittering
weapons of ten thousand horsemen, in the ut
; most splendor of barbario chivalry, brilliant
plumes, tho arms of burnished steel andgold,
presented an array equally Imposing. Undis
mayed, the French troops, marshalled into five
invincible squares, marched on. There Was op
parentlyno alternative.
Napoleon must march upon theso introncu
ments behind which twenty-four thousand men
were stationed with their artillery and musketry
‘ to sweep his ranks, and a formidable body of
horsemen, on fleet and powerful Arabian steeds,
awaiting the onset and ready to - seize upon the
slightest indication of confasion, to plunge with
SB the fury which fatalism con inspire upon his.
bleeding and mangled squads. It must have
- -been-ft moment of -intense anxiety. But as Na
poleon sat upon his horse, in the centre .nf one
of the squares, and carefully examined with his
- telescope the disposition of the enemy, np one
■ could discern the slightest trace -of uneasiness.
- - His grave gaze was long and intense. «
The keenness of scrutiny detected that the
guns of the enemy were not mounted upon car
nages, and they could not, therefore,, bo turned
from the direotion in which they were placed.—
No ether officer, though many of them had cqnol
■Jy good glasses, made this important discovery.
Ue immediately, by a lateral movement, guided
his army to tho right, towards the pyramids,
that his squares might heuutof the range of tho
guns, and that hs might attack the enemy in tho
■ flank. The moment Mourod Bey perceived this
evolution,'ho divined its object, and with great
military Bagncity, resolved instantly to charge. |
“Youshall now see ns,” eaid the proud Bey,j
“cut up those dogs like gourds.”
, It waß indeed a fearful spectacle. Ten - thou- 1
sand horsemen, magnificently dressed, with the
fleetest steeds in the world, urging their horses
with bloody spurs to the onset, rending tho hea
- vsbb with their cries, and causing ' the earth to
tremble beneath the thunder of iron feet, camo 1
down upon tho adamantine host. - Nothing was
overseen in war more, furious than this charge.
Ten thousand horsemen in an enormous mass.—
Those longest inured to danger felt that it was
- : an awful moment. - It Boomed impossible to ro
slat each an avalanche. The most profound si
lence reigned through- tho - ranks, interrupted
- only by the word Of command. The nerves of
excitement being aroused to the utmost tension,
" every order was executed with the most marvel
loos rapidity and precision. The soldiers
. held their breath, and , with bristling . bayo
nets stood Bhonldor to shoulder to receive the
shock.

in viewing the multitude of cushions and difans,-.|
covered with the finest damasks and silks, and |

gared to administer to the sensual indulgence, of
these haughty despots. Much of the night was
passed ia exploring* the singular mansion. The
garden was extensive and magnificent la the ex
treme. Innumerable vines were laden with the
richest grapes.
, The vintage was soon gathered by the thou
sands of soldiers who filled the alleys and loiter
ed in the arbors. Pots of preserves, of Confec
tionary, and of sweetmeats of every kind, were
quickly devoured by an army of. months. . . The
thousands of little eleganoies which Europe, ABia
and Africa had contributed to; minister to the
voluptuous splendor of the regal mansion, wero
speedily tranßfcred to the knapsacks of thß sol

The “Battle of the Pyramids,” as Napoleon
characteristically designated it, sent a thrill of
terror far and wide into the interior of Asia and
Africa. These licentious op
pressors, wcre.cxecratedby thetimid Egyptians,
but-they were deemed invincible. In one hour
they had vanished, like the mist, before the ge
nius of Napoleon.
The caravons whioh came to Cairo, circulated
through the vast regions of the interior with-all
the cmbclishments of Oriental exaggeration,
most glowingaccounts of the destruction of these
terrible squadrons which had bo long tyrannized
over Egypt, and the fame of whose military
prowess had caused the most distant tribes to
tremble. The name of Napoleon .beoamc sud
denly ns renowed in Asia and Africa, as it had
previously become in Europe. .
But twenty-one days had elapsed since.ho pla
ced his foot upon the: sands of Alexandria, and
now he was the sovereign.ofEgypt, . The Egypt
ians also welcomed him as a friend, and a libe
rator. The Bhcets of flame which inoesantly
burst from the French ranks, so deeply impres
sed their imaginations, that they gave to Napo
leon the Oriental appellation of Sultan Kebir,
or King of Fire. ’ •

Mr. Jons Barry, mathematical teacher,
has left at this office a solution of certain ques
tions proposed by a correspondent thoothcr day.
It is impossible, for want of the necessary char
acters, for our compositors to put Mr. B.’scom
municationjii typo; but those who feel an in

the solution: ' -
AS OLD DOCtm&ST.
Wo have received through the Post Office, frem I
some unknown source, a pamphlet entitled: |
.** Report of tho Cotamitteo of Distribution of the |
-Relief Fran, contributed fdr the relief of the I
Sufferers by the firo at Pittsburgh, April 10,1
1845—the Report of the Committee of Supplies
—tho Auditing Committee —the Statement of tho
Treasurcr -of the Relief Fund—List of the re-1
oeipls thereof; together with the proceedings of
Councils in relation to tho same. Also, tho pe
tition presented to Councils, Deo. 29, 1845, with
tho signatures thereto. Published in conformity
to a resolution Of City Councils, passed January
6, 1840.”' 5 ' \
This is a document which we have longdesired
to obtain a copy of; for. various reasons. We
have no doubt but that the publication of the I
pamphlet entire in our columns would prove ac- I
ceptible to most of our readers; but its extreme '
length (being 44 pages) will prevent us from gra
tifying ourselves ns well as our friends in. this
particular. However, we may, whenever occa
sion requires it, givo such extracts from tho re
port as wo may deem of particular interest to
the community.
From this report we learn that the amount of
money distributed amongst the sufferers by the
, A
PITTSBUBGH INPXRMABT,
i . We have received, from the Director, the Rev. I
W. A. Passavast, the Second .Annuafßeport of I
the Pittsburgh: Infirmary,- under the care of I
the Institution of Protestant Deheonness. ]
j. The Board of Visitors make a favorable re- I
j port in relation'to the management of this,ex-1
cellent institution: 'They state that favoritism
I has been shown to none; and that the discipline-)
I has been administered with impartiality, -and J
J kindness, : bnd that its doors have been opened I
I alike to people of all creedß, colors and countries. I
I- From the report of the Director we are truly I
I sorry to learn that the" institution is very muoh
I in-need of money at -the present time.. The re-1
I oeipts into the treasury during the past year, to-
I wards the support of the institution were $2,-1
"| 019 00; while the total expenses were $2,310 12 |
I leavingabalancodue the treasurer of $291 12.
I Tho hew. Infirmary Building, creoted by
I Messrs. L & A. Patterson, was ready for the re-
J eeption of visitors on the Ist of April. • It is 60
feet front by 42 feet deep, and is four stories in
height: US total cost is estimated at about
I $B,OOO. A considerable portion of this still re
■ I maiuß unpaid, and the Director makes a. warm
appeal to the friends of tbo institution here and
elsewhere, to step forward and relieve it from
I embarrassment.
The Physicians in their report Btatc that the
whole number of patients admitted into the in
stitution during the,past year was 272. Of. this
number 186 were discharged, cured; 24 were
improved; 5 were discharged unrelieved; &
were dismissed for misconduct; 8 left the in
firmary without permission; ~1 died; ond23
remain-in tho institution.
- Accompanying the reports is a list of tho con.
tributors, whether in money or other valuables,
and an extract from the charter of the institu
tion.
Emigrants porLibf.ria.—lt is holioved that
the emigration to Liberia this spring will bo un
usually large. Over twenty have applied from
Pennsylvania to the New York. Colonization So
ciety for passages, dud as many from. Now Jer
sey have secured a passage in the Liberia Pack
et, to sail from Baltimore.. The New Fork Col
onization Journal says: . .
“ In our own State an unprecedented- number
are rollod to go. It was intended to send abont
seventy this month,- but tho early departure of
tho brig Zeno did not allow. sufficient time to
make tho necessary preparation, and the expe
dition will-,bo delayed uatil the middle or close
of May, when, by arrangement with the Ameri
can Colonization Society, the vessel which sails
from Baltimore, May l9t, willcoffiotoNcw York,
and'bo ready to sail by the :16th of. the .month
with those who may be prepared to embark.”
A colored man who purchased his freedom in
Mnryland in 1844, and is:; now the owner of a
fine tittle picco of property, in t free State, has
offered to sell it at $760 cash, in order to enable
him, with his two brothers nnd their families,
now in this State, to go to Liberia.
::::APRIL 17.
South Carolina and Secession.— Tho Beces- 1
sion convention of South Carolina assembles on
the 26th instant, and those who hove been in
strumental in calling it arc evidently nlnnnod At
their own folly, nnd now look to publio opinion
to check it in its mad designs. There is a won
derful change, of late, in .the tone of the seces
sion journals of that State. Tho State Rights
Republican has an article (which the Charleston
I Mercury copies,) in which, in speaking of the
convention, it says;
“In the first place, we may fairly conclude
that it will.not attempt in regard to Federal re
lations any separate or solitary action, for the
State hat porilivthj negatived such a proceeding.—
In the second place, we may conclude that it will
not meddle with our internal organization, for
that department has not been entrusted to it by
public sentiment, but tacitly withheld. In truth,
the convention is an accidental bodg', elected bg a
very small portion of the people.";
Government Bills under Protest,
A draft on the Secretary of the Interior,
drawn by the Indian agent in California in favor
of one of tho officers of the. Citizens’ Bank of
Steubenvillo, was last week returned protested—
the Government having no funds on hand to hon
or it. Wo arc unabio to state where tho fault
lies, but such a state of things, occurring in a
time of profound peace, when the revenues of
tho government approximate $50,000,000 annual
ly, is deeply disgracefhl, and shows that there
is a screw loose somewhere.— Steubenville Union*
We presume the Government officials at
Washington are so busily engaged in electioneer
ing at present that they find no time to attend to
more important matters. But the days of Whig
rule are rapidly drawing to a close, and we feel
certain that no regrets will be uttered in any
quarter.
AttEfliiusvr Valley Raimioail —Tho Blairs
ville.Apalachian saya: “Our townsman R. W,
Clarke, Esq., has received from the Allegheny
Valley Railroad Company.tho appointment of
Principal Assistant Engineer; .and has gone to
Pittsburgh for tho purpose of organizing acorpß,
i and immediately commencing surveys. Ho will
| be engaged in the examination and location of
routes north of Kittanning. Mr,Clarke,is an,
experienced and successful Engineer, and tho
company have done well to secure his services.”
Effect of the Finn Anbihiiatou. —On Fri
day last, while the firemen were endeavoring to
extinguish the flames in tho hold of the brig
Samuel T.-Lord, in tho harbor of Ncvr York,
whioh vessel vftiß burning, but was afterwards
saved from destruction,. a member of Engine
Company N 0,5 hada narrow cscapo frem being
suffocated by tho fumes from one of the fire an
nihiiatorsthat was in operation, whllo tho fire
man was below tho decks of tho vessel.
Indians Stabved to Death.—The Minnesota
Pioneer saya that a report has como ftom Lao
qni Parle, that over forty Indians—men, women
and ohildrcn—were found frozen to death, hav
ing eaten their dogs, moocaslns, skin touts, and
overythlag that could afford the least Buste
nancs. It was feared, last summer, that the loss
of crops by tho floods would result disastrously,
to them. .
Tim Bin Tlotel in Wubeliko.—The Wheeling
QatttU says: “ The "MoLure House is now near
ly comploted. Tho carpenter work will be finish.
eel in nbont n week, ns will also the plastering
and painting. Tbiasplendid edifice is still witb
bttt a tenant, but will not probably lobg remain
so, as thoro is an ample fortune to be made in It
by any man adapted to tb'e business, and .it is
truly needcddiere at tlds time.”
Reduction of Wades,.—The Nowburdport
(Mosb) Herald says that the wages of all shoe
makers in the largo manufactories in that re
gion hare been reduced nbont 30 per cent, on all
but first class work. The same paper states
that there are a great many journeymen shoe
makers now employed on ordinary work, 12 or
15 hours a day, who earn Isbb than fifty cents
a day. :
Connecticut U. S. Skratobl—lt is stated that
GoV. Thomas H. Seymour will probably bo elepU

his name may be added to the list of seven others
who have: been chosen that body
since the Mexican war, in whioh each of them

It is stated that on Saturday- lost twenty stu

Yale College. They wero members of tho Kap

Death raou CutonoroEM.—Mrs. Emily Nor-,
ton, wife of H. Z. Norton, of Norwalk, Conn.,
died at New Haven on Friday from chloroform,
taken to aid tho extraction of teeth. It appears
she was afflicted with a disease of the jaw, requi
ring tliecxtraction of several diseased teeth. She
had last year taken chloroform with happy effect,
and on this occasion, intending to have a tooth
drawn, insisted on Dr. Pork, her medical atten
dant, again administering it. The Journal says:
She was allowed to inhale the .chloroform in
a very small quantity for several minntes; and
most while she was saying she felt no effect from,
it, and was asking for its more free administra
tion, the Doctor noticed the pulse suddenly to
folk Within 3or 4 minntes from tho time this
change wsb noticed, all signs of life were gone,
and the most vigorous efforts to resuscitate the
woman proved unavailing, An inquest was held
over her remains, and on the testimony of seve
ral physicians, Dr. Farkwas'exculpated from .all
blame. Only half a drachmofchloroform, which
i was inhaled from a sponge, was used.
Law of Siaxdeb is Mauyianp.—ln a recent j
caso before the Court of Appeals of Maryland, it i
was decided (Chief Justice Lo Grand delivering
the opinion) that in action of slander—
“lt was competent, in mitigation of damages,
for thedefendont to show the manner of language
held towards him by the plaintiff; it being, of
course, always a question for the jury to deter
mine whether the language used by tho defen
dant was used because of tbo provocation offered
by tho plaintiff, or was the result of more wan
tonuess acd maliciousness of feeling, and concep
tion of heart Where the plaintiff baa pmoked
the slanderous words of tho defendant, sis claim
to damages ought to bo diminished, to use tbe
i language of the court in Child vt. Horner, 13 Pick.
1511, 'such a claim must bo brought forward witb
| a very bad grace, especially when tbe party com-
I plaining was tbo one who commenced the eon
i troversy. _ . . .
Emwkatios rnoji.GEBMASv.—A Paris cones- j
pendent of tbo Now York Times says, “ emigra
tion from Germany promises to bo cn o greater ]
scale this year than over before. Tho paternal ]
Govcrnorsof that land—Kings, Dukes and Duke
letta—ara losing their “contented peasantry,”
by tens of thousands. Already tho population
of whole villages, almost of whole districts, aro
beginning to move. . An nnnsuai number are!
taking their way through France. Last week, |
1,000 emigrants passed through Paris, on their i
way to America, via Havre. Driven to a less
hopeful exile, four hundred and seventy-five

New Jebsey Centbal Raiiboab.—The Tren

prospect of the important diversion of their trade

and used in his prlvatepraciice. Their marked success
elicited the most unqualified approbation of physicians
and others who had witnessed their effects. Possessing
all the sensitive feelings of a thorough-bred physician,
Dr. M’Lane dreaded being classed with the , shallow
pretenders who crowd the columns of the newspapers
with puffs of •* sovereign remedies, 1 * aud fora longtime
declined the requests of many that he would proclaim i
i his great remedytoihe public; but, finally, after much!
i persuasion on the part of physiciaos and others who
had witnessed the wonderful cures effectedby the Liver
Pills, he consented to prepare it for general use. The
