It has been separately reprinted o ver arid over again. It is included in tho collected Wri,' tings of Napoleon 111, edited by himself;' It has booh presented to tho world in an 1 English dress at London, and another excellent trans lation, by Mr. Jajif.9 A. Dobb, was published in Now York several months ago. ‘ '• When tho French Revolution of July, 1880, took place, tho King of Rome was yet ltTjßqjab Vienna. He died in 1832, by which timq.Jils cousin, elder brother of Louis Napoleon, had also passed away, having died in r Louis Napoleon became tho nominal of tho Bonafabte line. Tho Prlnco of Cialno, son of Lucien Bonaparte, next brother of Napoleon I, is tho real head of the BplU parte family. But Lucius Bonaparte quar relled with his imperial and imperious brother, who, abolishing the rights of primogeiiKore (as such wrongs aro called in Europo), hiifi the order of succession to (lie Empire chohged, and placed a younger brother (Louis) next himself, excluded Lucien and his descendants from the throne. Tho Emperor Napoleon 111, only surviving son of Louis Bonaparte, therefore heenmo an aspirant, or what Legiti macy would call hitn, a Pretender to the Im perial crown of Franco, on tho death of tho King of Rome, commonly called tho Duq DS Kgiciistadt. ' Living in closo retirement in Switzerland, to which lie escaped on tho death of his brother, himself then being only twenty-throe years old, Louis Napoleon doroted much of his leisure to literary pursuits, and published aSyoral hooks between 1832 and 1835. In the first of these, entitled “ ReveriesPolitiqnes,” ho em phatically declared ttygt France required to bo regenerated, and that this could bo dona only by means of a descendant of Napoleon; who alone could reconcile republloan principles with tlm demands of tho military spirit of tho nation. Alter this ho published “Considerations Poll- tiqncs et Militaires sur la Suisse,” a work of considerable labor and great ability, and Ills well-known “ Manuel stir i’Artellerie.” This last contains 500 pages, with sixty lithographs, and was favorably reviewed in most of the mili tary journals of Europe. This volume was tho result of his studies and practice at the Mili tary Academy of Tlum, wlioro he wa* partly educated, his tplcialiU being the Art'of Gun nery. Tho work is of such acknowledged merit that it has boon adopted, as a text-book, in (lio Military Academy of West Point. At this day, Napoleon’s particular superiority ip the field arises from tho improvements ho has effected in the arms of warfare, lie was tho first commander to adopt tho rifled cannon, which came so formidably Into play during tho Italian campaign of 1859. Shortly after tho publication df his work upon Artillery, Louis Napoleon was induced, by the representation that tho French army were socretly devoted to him, os the holr and nephew of their great Emperor and' General, to make a bold Btroko against Louis Pnaiprn, then reigning in Franco. The attack upon StrOßburg, in October, 1830, which had almost proved successful, ended in his ,de- Dating tho ground is not published in tho collec tion of Pennsylvania laws as being a “private act.” It is a pity that tho publication of prlvato and obsolete acts passed by our Legislature pre vious to tho prosent systoin of pamphlet laws is not taken up by tho State.

We grumbled a iittla at the inter ruption, but the stage got safe across, and we re lainod our journey and our nap. At daybreak wo could soe that we were passing through a prairie country, with patches of oak openings and belts of timber. The soil was a rieji black loam, and the horses went fetlock deop Ht every step. Our progress was slow, and for some hours we went at a pace hardly exceeding a walk over the rolling slopes of prairie. Everything had a most dismal and dreary appearance; but wo could not but think our own condition and position pre ferable to that of two or three camps of wagonerr wo passed on our way. The oxen had been un hitched from the wagons, and, without being un yoked, wore patiently nibbling the scanty herbage or standing meekly with their backs turned to the pitiless storm. The wagoners found what shelter tkoy could under the wagon covers, and must have had n hard timo of it, especially when they under took to collect their scattered oxen and resume their way. At seren in the morning wo reached Anderson, the county town of Qrime9 county, and stopped for breakfast and to ohango horses and coacbos. We had beon about twelve boura in com ing thirty-fivo miles. Wo saw but little of the town, and that little to great disadvantage, In a rainy, disagreeable morning, aftor a night’s ride, when our own minds wore not particularly suscep tible of taking a favorable viow of things in gene ral. Tho court-house, of brick, two stories high, occupied the centre of tho public square in the middlo of tho town, as seems to bo the usual plan through tho part of Texas wo bad been travelling in. There are three or four churches, end we no ticed one in particular for Us neat, well-finished appearance. The CentnU Ttxtan, a wookly news paper, is published at Anderson, and tho Baptlstr bavo a printing and publishing establishment located there. The oountry through which wo passed after breakfast was more ploasing and Interesting than any wo had soon previously. It was mostly rolling prairio, with patohes and belts of timber here and thoro. Tho surface was much broken np with ravines and hollows, affording channels for nu merous water-courses, roost of which were well fillod from tho recent heavy rains. These ravines wero generally well-wooded, and their sides in somo instances steep and rocky where the surface soil had boon washed away ; the rock was a light colored, soft, and friable limestone, which hardens by oxposuro to the air. and is used to a limited ex tent for building purposes. Wo saw but one or two boudes built entirely of stono; they Wore mostly frame, but the chimneys and foundations generally of this limestone, instead of briok or mud. The soil of tho prairies is of a rich, blaok loam, and very fertile. The ground was covered with tho wild flax plant, which has driven out the grass to a vory great extent. It is a great injury in this respeot, but the palo yellow flower which it produces, and which was in full-bloom, adds much to tho beauty of the landscape. Tho rain ceased aftor breakfast, and the sun camo out elear and bright, so that wo enjoyed the ride exceedingly. Tho ever-varying landscapo was constantly before us, fresh and beautiful after the rain ; the sloping sides of the ridges, which stretched away In long suooossion, wore carpeted with the pale golden yellow of tho wild-flax; and tho dumps and groves of trees, thoir branches covered with a still green and luxuriant foliago, fringed and festooned with the long, graceful bunches of Spanish waving to and fro in tho refreshing breeze which swept across tho prairie, relieved the tatuencss of (lie scone. Now we passed a drove of mustangs or mules, on their way eastward to a market, under charge of three or four mounted drivers, with high, Toxian saddles, huge, jingling spurs, and long larints, made of plaited hair, Coilod upon thoir saddlo bows. Then a camp of “ raovors” Would bo passed on tho roadside, just finishing their morniug meal, aud making preparations to resumo thoir march aftef the rain and discomforts of the previous night; or a long train of wagons, drawn by oxen, nnd laden with a variety of household goods and chattels, woraon and children piled away on top or in oornors, and tho men walking or mounted on horses or mules, would obstruct the way till tho slow-moving oxon could bo turned out to mnko room for tho stag© to pass. These, too, woro “ movers”—somo on their way westward to tho land where they hoped to And a homo bettor in some respect or othor than the one they had left; and others, again, on their return eastward, disap pointed in their expectations, and weary and dis gusted with tho hardships of travel and tho experi ences of thoir emigration. Then we mot numerous wagons, in strings of three or four, or even moro, laden with lmles of cotton, on their way to somo shipping point, cither on tho railroad or the Brazos rivor. These ootton wagons woro each drawn by as many as blx, or even sovon and eight yoke of oxon. About fifteon miles from Anderson we passed through a new settlement, oalled Navasoto dress ing. Tho railroad from Houston crosses the Stage road nt this point; it la not quite in running order thus far yet, but oco&sional trains hate been run. A number of houses and stores are in course of erection, and tho place promises to be ono of somo importance as the depot for a large extent of back ,T ti *■!•->» TWO CENTS. country!

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. • Bewoxixatloh ov BuchAwaw.— ( The Washington OOrteepondent of tho Now York Tribune says: “tiinco the recent eleotions, Mr. Buobonen’s friends claim be is the only .Democrat who has any oh&nce of incceaa in 1860, and the same belief pre vails at the White Houqe, though the President lately admitted he could not carry Pennsylvania. ** Wisctasix.— I The Republicans have elected their gubernatorial candidate in this State, and they also claim a majority iq both branches of the State Legislature. Catt. Smtsvx anuGbkkral Jacvsow.—A cor respondent of the Cleveland (Ohio) Review lays: ‘•Jabex Lorwell, Esq., of Wayne county, re- ! ccntly communicated to me a characteristic anec dote of General Jackson, which I have sever seen in print, and which will certainly boar repetition. Mr. Lorwell was personally acquainted with Cap tain Shreve, mentioned, and represents him as' possessed, of much of the unyielding and energetic character which so distinguished General Jackson. Shreve was well known throughout tho South during his life.' “ During tho last war with England, Capt. Shrove was commander and owner of a roe eel whlob plied the 'Father of Waters/ and'which, during the period Gen. JaCkeon bad New Orleans under mar tial law, made its appearance, at-thwleToe of that city. Gen. Jackson being apprised of the erri-j val of tbe vessel, at once sent for Captain Shreve,' announced to him that be shoqld consider him-' self, his creiyand vessel, as in the service of Go-* vernment, and hold himself in readiness to dis charge any duty that might he imposed upon him.' Captain Shreve unhesitatingly accepted the eon-' dittoes thus stated to obtained permission from Gen.
