Napoleonic Ideas. ,
In 1831), alter the failure at Strnsbutg,|)inj'f
beforo his equally unsuccessful attempt' at
Boulogne, Prince Louis Napoleon BpSA
TAUtk published a small volumo, at Biusjels,
entitled Napoleonic Ideas, (Dei Idees 1 Ndpe.
Iconicnnes,) in which ho distinctly shadowed
out tho systom upon which Franco, r&oliptl-,
luted as an Einpiro, should he governed.’,'yho‘
hook, though curious in many rcspcctfl,
rare. 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<tsat, cap
ture, and oxiio to tho United St»t4»Jy'R e hi;rt.
iiig.after
receive hismothor’s last breath, which occur
red on October sth, 1837, lie was compelled to
leave Switzerland, his extraditiqnhaving boon
demanded by Louts Philipp*. lie retired to
England, where be remained until bis adven
turous descent upon Boulogne, in August,
1810. Ho failed, even more decidedly than at
Straslmrg, where tho 4th Regiment of Artll
lery and somo of tho civic ofllccrs declared
themselves for him, whereas, only ono soldier,
a lieutenant, joined him at Boulogne.
Wliut followed is as much historical ns per
sonal : JIo was tried for high treasou before
the Chamber of Peers, in Paris. Ho was de
fended, boldly and eloquently, by M. Bna
nvEa, the great Legitimist advocate. He was
convicted, hut made a remarkable speech, in
which lie said to the Peers, “ I represent lie
foro you, gentlemen, a principle, a cattso, a
defeat. Tho principle is that of.the sove
reignty of the people, tho causo is that of the

was sentenced to perpetual Imprisonment in a
French fortress, aud conveyed to Ham, whenco
he escaped, in May 1810, oftor a captivity of
six years, and regained an asylum in England.
Soon camo the Revolution of February, 1818,
which overthrew Loi rs I’iiiliite and tho Or
leans dynasty) after which, Louis Napoleon,
elected as a legislative deputy for tho Depart
ment of tho Seine, returned to Paris—whoro
he litd been horn, in the Tuileries, forty yeiTrs
before—took llis seat in tho National Assem
bly, and in the following December was elected
President of tho Frenclt Republic, by on enor-
mous majority over numerous other candidates.
Tho coup il'elut of December, 1851—his sub
sequent election to the Presidency for ten
years—his advancement to tho Imperial dig
nity at tho close of 1852—his marriage with
tho fair and good Eugenie —his warm ullianco
with England, in apparent forgetfulness that
the defeat of Watorloo had not been avenged
—liis qunrrel with Russia, which eventuated
in the Crimean war, whore Franco and Eng
land gallantly fought side by side, apparently
having no contention save for glory—his re
markable ascendancy in European politics, so
gradually and quietly ussumed, so pertina
ciously and firmly maintained and extended—
anil, finally, his crusade against Austrian abso
lutism aud tyranny in Italy—these are events
in this man’s life which, borne in mind with
tho steady advancement of France in commer
cial prosperily, abundantly provo the com
manding nature of his mind and tho intellec
tual ascendancy of his character.
liis public policy has generally been con
sidered inscrutnble, but it certainly is not a
mystery without an “ open bosamc!” lo un
fold it. In Napoleon’s celebrated- “ Idces
Napoleonienncs” will bo found the Icoy to his
cipher. That work, published in 183!), (not
long before ho mado ltis second dash fop sove
reignty, at Boulogne,) merely repoats, with
more force and stronger argument, (he theory
which lie had published seven years before, in
iiis “ Reveries Politiques,”—namely, that tho
regeneration of Franco was only to bo effected
by one of tho great Napoleon’s descendants,
who alone could reconcile republican princi
ples with the demands of tho military spirit of
tho nation. This idea of uniting tho demo
cratic qnd impelial parlies, under ono head, is
what Louis Napoleon has constantly and con
sistently enrried out, in action as well cs In
thought, on tho throne ns woll as in his study
as an author.
Alison, in summing up tho character of
this man, says << in Louts Napoleon’s career,
from first to last, literary and political, there
oro decided proofs of that fixity of Ideas and
moral resolution which are tho characteristics
of greatness, and the heralds either of success
or ruin in this world.” It is added that the
Idea of destiny, of a star, or u mission, which
are only different words for tho samo thing,
will ho found to havo been a fixed belief in
most men who attain to ultimate greatness.
Whether it is that tho disposition oi mind
which leads to such a belief works out its own
accomplishment, by the energy and perse
verance which it infuses into tlio character,
and which enables its possessor to rise supe
rior to all tlio stomm of fate, or that Frovi
denco darkly reveals to tho chosen instruments
of groat things—the “ vossols of honor” to
which the working out of its purposes in hu
man uflalrs is intrusted— enough of tho future
’’ m?*
to. secure its own accomplishment, will for ever
tomaln a mystery, in this world.

What, then, is actually tho true Napoleonic
,ldea, clierislicd and promulgated by this man]
Nvory statesman in Europe lenows, and feels,
'and fears it, because Napoleon’B books are
open io perusal. They are no mysterious
Sibylline leaves, with dim prophecies veiled
jin an obscure mystery of expression and Ima
jgcry. They speak out, and every one who
desires can hear and understand them. Napo
mos’s idea resolves itself into two sections—
'ono, that France shall bo wholly Independent
i among tho nations of tho earth; the other,
! that the continent of Enropo shall bo regenera
ted by French influence.
That is all. To what does it amount ? Qnly
to a more triflo. Only to this*—that, England
submitting to sink into a socond-mto Power,
and' slio is so sinking, politically, Franca
shall bo « lord of tho ascendant” in Europe.
It was this principle which really canned the
lato Italian war. At tho conclusion of tho
opening chapter of th’ “Ideos Napolcont
ennes,” Napoleon declares Franco to ho
always tho fountain of progress for Western
Europe, and that “ so»n will tlio day arrive
when, in older to reign over her, It will be. un
derstood that her part is, to east into the scales
of alt treaties her sword of Srennus on the side
of civilization Napoi,eon published thisjn
1839., Jte acted upon 11, in Italy, just twenty
years later.
It is said that Xapollon's sind qua non , at
tlio approaching European Congress, will be
tho nullification of the. Treaties of 1815, by
which tho dignity of Franco was materially
lowered, the Napoleon dynasty declared to be
rooted up for ever, and tlio Bonaparto race
virtually outlawed throughout Europe. Eng
land, it may ho presumed, will npt strongly
object to a how sottloment of Enropo, mainly
on tho basis of 1815, but it will bo a bitter
draught for Austria, liussia, and Prussia to
swallow. If Napoleon insist, tlicy will pro
bably yield, bcoauso ho is muster of tho posi-
tion. If, they do, he will proceed, with all
prapflonl spoed, to work out his great Idea
Napolfoniemts. ■ I,et him reign only . ten
yoars longer, ami we inny sco him mako
Europe submit to tlio dictation of France—,
for which idea the elder Napoleon fought all
his battles.
The Free Quakers.
[For The Press.] ' '
The American Revolution was a trying period
for members of tho Sooiety of Friends. As a body,
they wore determined opponents of the system of
tyranny undor which our country groaned, and
woro warm in their approval of tho doings and
rosolvos of the First Continental Congress, heid in
Carpenters’ Haiti inthis city: bat they had views
of religious truth which- disallowed an appeal to
arms under any circumstances. On tho 24tU day of
Ist month, 1775, iho ‘fTeatlmony of tho people call*
oil Qnakors, by a meeting of the repre*
sentatlves of Mild people in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey/’ was agreed open, In which it was de
clared that they had ground of hope, and believe,
that decent and respectful addresses from those who
are vested with legal authority, representing (he
prevailing dissatisfaction, and the cause of them
would avail in obtaining relief, ascertaining
and establishing the'just rights of the people, and
restoring the publio tranquillity. In this hope,
whlob, to us, seems not a very reasonable one,
many shared at that time, and, indeed, long after;
for It is to bo remerabared that the war had been
■W months-before many were con
vinced of iho necessity of a separation from the
mother country.
‘ J t Is probable that very many 6f the Friends eon-
tinned firm until ihooonoluslon of tho war, to look
and wish for & restoration of tho former Govern
ment; and yot, thoro were few exceptions to nn
ontiro neutrality among thoro. There trere cases
in which It is probAbio tho Quakor garb andspoooh
were adopted by spies in tho sorrioo of the British,
and in a few instancoa Quakers wore am on able to
tho ohnrgo of faroring the loyal party—hut such
cases woro vory rare. Washington is atatod to
have said to o friend, that at tbe beginning of tho
war ho Bapposed tho doctrine of non-rcBistanae
held by theFriendstohaveboenowing more to their
political prcforoDOCs than to roligious convictions,
and that when he was in the midst of a Quaker
community, as in Ohoster county and thoroabouts,
ho did not feel at all secure against spies, but
addod, that further acquaintance with tho people
had convinced him of his error, and that in tho
distriot alluded to no Quakor acted as a spy. A
few in Philadelphia, about a hundred in number,
comprised, with few exceptions, all who folt it not
inconsistent with their duty as Friends to take up
nrtns in defenoo of their oountry; admitting, as all
Christian peoplo must, that war is' a groat evil, and
yet thinking, with most suoh, that in tho prosent
stnto of the world it is a necessary ono. A mili
tary company was formed, under oommand of
Captain Humphreys, which was designated tho
“ Quaker Company.’ 1 Two, at least, of tho gene
rals of tho Revolution, Hifllin and Ureono, wero
of Quaker origin. Rigorously and impartially, all
who took up arms on either side wero disowned by
tho Socioty of Friends.
Tho Soolety of Free (uftcr called Fighting)
QuaierSy was established, to quota from a memo
rial presonted by them to tho Legislature in 178 ft,
by those who wore “disowned by tho pooplo
called Quakers, on account of their attachment to
the cause of their oountry, during tho great and
Important conflict for Frcodow and Independence,
and have, thorofore, been deprived of tbeir reli
gious rights and privileges, without oven a distant
probability of a reunion with thorn upon con
sistent principles.”
At tho closo of tho war, theso endeavored to ro
gnin some of the rights and properties in which
they had shared, but the case was decided against
them. Thoro woro, unfortunately, a few “ black
sheep” among them who had boon disowned for
causes not so honorable as even ail excess of pa
triotism, and this foot probably turned the scale.
, By far a larger part, however, wero upright, re
spectablo citizons. Perhaps tho most eminent
among them (and the founder of tho now sooioty)
was Samuel Wothorill, tho graudfathor of the lato
woll-known John Price Wetborill. A sketch of
his life—interesting on other accounts, and espe
cially so as treating of his connection with tho
Froo Quakers—is given in an address delivered
before tho Philadelphia Hose Company on tho colo
bration of their dftioUi anniversary in 1853, by (our
Into) Mayor Vaux. To this we are Indebted for
sevoral of tho facts of tho presont article.
Tho memorial to the Legislature which wo have
quoted states that “ the Society of Free Quakers
* # # established through necessity arising
out of a great revolution, had, with the assistanoo cJ
their Christian fellow-oituons, purchased a lot of
ground and erected thereon a moeting-houso of
their own to perform worship in to Almighty Qod.”
Wo learn, from tho address of Mr. Vaux, that the
money for this purpose was ohiefly raisod by tho ox
ertlons of Mr. Wothorill, and that among tho ttamos
on the subscription list aro those ofßcnj, Franklin,
Robert Morris, John Cadwnlader, and othor dis-
tinguished citizens.
Tho old mcoting-houso nt tho corner of Fifth and
Arch bears on Us gable a tablet with this inscrip
tion :
“ By Goncral Subscription

FREE QUAKERS.
Erected in the yeah of our LORD 1783,
Of the Empire 8.”
Dec. 2ftth, 1783, a potition was presonted to tho
Executive Council of this State from persons re-*
presenting the society called Free Quakers, re
questing that they might bo allowed tho prefer
ence in tho purohaso from tho State of a piece of
ground on tho north side of Spruce street, between
Seventh and Eighth streets, to bo leased by them
for a burial ground.
Tho Council referred tho matter to the Assembly,
who laid the memorial “ on the table.”
August 26th, 1780, a bill passed tho Assembly
giving to tho Freo Quakers tho lot on the west side
of Fifth street, below l’runc, which is still in pos
session of tho 'society, and is known as the
“ Fighting Quaker burying ground.” Tho act Jt>-
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. In aelcgal point of view,
thoso laws nre sometimes of great importance, and
as historical documents they would bo often al
most invaluable. In this ooso, for instance, the

Mt Dear Prkab : At last wo .have reached the
farthest point of oar journey, andtwo or three let
ter! from this place, where We shall bo detaiped,
•for a week op two, and pathqps a ft>w lines -on onr
homeward trip, If anything of interest presents it
self, will complete this, series',.. After being kept
waiting at Huntsville a day, and Improving our
time to the best advantage we could, we took the
stage in the evening, after tea, for Brenham. • The
Tain was pouring hedviljf and steadily doWn when
we started, and continued •without' ootUalion all
night, accompanied by lightning ' and thunder
The roads were doep, and the rain turned the soil
into about the consistency of thick tar, and we
made but slow progress. It is bad enough to ride
all night under the most favorable circumstances;
but when it comes to a pitch-dark night, with the
rain pouring In torrents, 'and the roads In most
shocking condition, It Is about as much as human
patience can stand, shut up In a close ooaoh--olose
onough to prevent a free circulation of air, but
with sundry openings, through which the rain in*
sinuatingly manages to work 1U way. It was t
fortuoßto thing for us that the stago.was notcrowd
ed, so that we had plenty of elbow and knee room,
About midnight, as we were enjoying a prettj
comfortable snooee, in spite of the many disadvaxv
tsges of our situAtibn, r wuwero awakened by thi
driver, and had to turn out in the rain and mud tj
walk across, a bridge,-which he bad joins fears war
not quite safe. 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.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

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. Jackson to mak6*some necessary repair*
to bis Vessel, before belfigcMapelled to cfo active
service. • .; '
“ Whjle-theso repairs, were in progress, and the
appearance of the British army was Ally expected
before the city, ’a number of cititens applied to
Capt.Shreve, requesting him tononvey their fami
lies some fifty miles up the river, to a place of
safety. Tbe Captain ekplalned to the applicants
hts situation, but assured them that If they could
obtain Gen. Jackson's oqnsont. be would himself
interpose no objection te their request. A depu :

range hie plans. : Capi. Shreve bluntly told the
officer, who had-brought the message, that he
would not obey theopder. .The officer warmly ex
postulated 'with Shreve, and held up to him, la
glowing colors, the terror* of Jackson’s displea
sure; but Shrevo win built of quite as unbending
metal as Oen. Jackson, and Indignantly refosod to
do tho bidding,
“ The officer returned to the 1 Old Chief/ and
detailed to him the circumstance of Capt. Shreve’s
refusal. In a towering passion, the General ordered
a file of men’to arrest Shreve, bring him At
once into his presence.
“ Bat comparatively tittle time had elapsed bo
fere the enraged Captain stood in the presence of
the equally enraged General. The latter, fiercely
eyeing Capt. Shrove, In a voice husky with intense
passion, made the inquiry:
“ ‘By —, Capt. Shrove, dare you disobey my
orders ?’
“‘Yes, by—, T dare” was the vehement and
Impetuous reply of tho undauntod Captain.
Jackson could not repress tbe expression of sur
prise which spread itself over his face at the unex
pected and emphatio reply of the daring Captain,
and In a tone of voice considerably milder than bis
first inquiry, bade Sbreve explain his conduct.
Upon the explanation being given. Jackson dis
missed him, simply saying that be bad forgotten
his promise to tho citizen*, whose vrivea and chil
dren Captain Sbreve then had upon hi* vessel.
“Afterwards, during Jackson’s Presidency, Crn-
Kress made’appropriations of a large mm of monav
for the removal of the innumerable snags and
other obstructions which made tho navigation of
the Mississippi rivor at that time very dangerous
to life and property. Notwithstanding the fact
that many of bis warmest political friends applied
to tionoral Jackson to secure the appointment of
on© of his friends to superintend that important
work, and that Captain Shrove was his reaoluto
and unrelenting political enemy, General Jackson
persisted in awarding tbe place to the stern and
honest old captain; and the success with which he
performed the duty attested Jackson’s sagacity in
making his choice. Sbreve invented machinery
and apparatus especially adapted to the successful
prosecution of the work, and completed it to the
perfect satisfaction of nil interested in it; and at
a late day succeeded in removing the great Red
river raft, which had previously been considered
an Impracticable undertaking. This raft was over
thirty miles In length, and for years had blocked
up the entire river.”
Thb New York Mayoralty QrEßTiox. —The
New York Sun says there are high times among
onr city Democracy in regard to the nomination
for Mayor. The Tammany Hall men have resolved
not only not to support the Mozart Hall candi
date, but to'expel from Ihelr Convention, and
from tbeir organization, every man who names
or votes for Fernando Wood. War is de
clared, nnd tho fight promises to bo one
of tho bitterest ever waged in this city.
The Fifth-avcnne folks wish John A. Dix nomina
ted for mayor, but the rank and filo of Tammany
are opposed to him, and claim that some old, re
spectable Democrat,who has always been identified
with the party iu this oity, shall be put in nomina
tion. Mr. Wm. D. Kennedy, who has been named
in concoction with the Tammany nomination, and
who had many supporters, has withdrawn his
name. The prospect, therefore, is that the Tam
many nominee will bo a man whoso antecedents
will' recommend him to tho support of all citizen 3
who can sink partisan feelings in a movement to
save our city from the rule of demagoguism.
A Nkqro Insurrectionist Arrested ix Tex
nesser.—The Memphis Avalanche, of the 9th,
comes to us with an account of tho arrest and pre
liminary examination of Dr. Wm. Russel Palmer,
on a charge of conspiring to create a negro Insur
rection in Shelby county, of that State. Tbe
Avalanche fays:
“ His examination occupied the attention of tho
court from ten o’clock in tho morning until three
in tho evening, and was listened to by an eager
crowd of spectators, deeply interested in obtain
ing & foil knowledge of the facts of the case, and
they are substantially as narrated by us in our pa
per of yesterday.
“ It seems that a traveller on & railroad, be
tween Philadelphia and New York, observed a fel
low-passenger, who occupied a seat in front of him,
stand np and walk out of the cars. In the act,
the young man dropped two letters and a memo
randum, which, Boeing, the traveller picked up,
but was unablo to restore to the loser. Glancing
at tho address, he observed that one of them was
addressed to ‘ Capt. J. Brown, Harper’s Ferry,
Ya.’ This was on tho 22d of Ootobor, a few days
after tbe Insurrection at Harper’s Ferry, and ht a
time when the bold attempt of Brown and ‘ his
fanatical followers occupied the attention of all.
Tho traveller, naturally enough, on seeing the ad
dress, concluded that the documents he had acci
dentally become possessor of. ,related In some man
ner to the affair at Harper’s Ferry, and on arriving
at New York, despatched the letters and memo
randum to Governor Wise.
“ The Governor, having examined the contents,
despatched the documents to Gov. Harris, of Ten
nessee. who caused the arrest of Palmer, at the Bed
ford House, Memphis. Tho officers having the
matter in charge represented themselves as bo-
Ing engaged In tho Harper’s Ferry scheme, and
willing to do anything to free the slaves. But it
appears that Palmer was not so easy to be caught.
“ Tho first letter roforred to was from ono Law
rence Thatcher, and was, as beforestated, directed
tn‘Capt. J. A. Brown, General Commander-in-Chief
of Provisional Government, U. S. A.’ Itwas intro
duced on the examination, and implicated Mr.
Palmor, so far as to state that he was willing to
enter Into the conspiracy. No other evidence was
adduced, and tho court decided on holding Palmer
lor $2,600, to appear before the Circuit Court, In
default of which fco was sent to jail.

The Capture and Suicide of theNoled
Burglar, Rottse. *
[From the Buffalo Courier, Nor. IX.) *
M'e have already noticed the arrest of* nhSorf
oos burglar, at Hudson, by Detective Ofiesrre
James and Lowell, of Syracuse, and thederperate
leap made by him from the Huason-river steam e*,
on his wav to Albany, whereby, it is presumed, he
was struck by the wheel of the ferry-boat, and In
stantly killed.
This burglar, who has several aliases, and ,1s
known to Syracuse Detectives James and Lowell as
Wm. H. Rouse, has committed extensive burglaries
in most of the towns and cities of ti»« and other
States. He has figured.under various aliases, largely
in Buffalo, and at Rochester Auburn, Skaneatelee,
Syracuse, Sehcnectad/g Troy. Albany, and other
places, as well as in Indiana, Ohio, tod other States.
The Syracuse officers bad been on his track for twe
y eprs, finally capturing him on Saturday afternoon,
November o, at Hudson, where he had been resid
ing since last summer, and was living in princely
style, with bis wife and one child, upon the fruits
of bis til-acquired booty.
Rouse being one of the shrewdest and most des
perate villains In existence, and having Oated re
peatedly that he would sooner die than he taken,
they did not deem it advisable to attempt to smeft
him in his bouse, eo they disguised themselves
somewhat, and proceeded to a gentiesuxn’s rati*
deuce opposite to Rouse's bouse, and alter first
satisfying themselves that all would be safe, they
stated their business, and requested permission to
occupy their parlor to watch the butglan across
tbe way. They very readily assented, saving that
if there was such a character in their midst they
would rejoice to have him taken out.
The officers then took pcssearca of the parlor
and remained there on the watch from ten to.three
o'clock, meeting with the kindest treatment, and
being provided with an excellent dinner mean
time.
At about three o'clock Rouse's wife mada her
appearance and walked down street. Lowell fol
lowed her at a proper distance. Shortly alter
Rouse, tbe “game” the officers had beenfin pursuit
of for OTcr two years, made his appearance, and
walked down street also. James pursued him
carefully for several blocks, anxiously looking for
Lowell all the time. At length he him
a long way ahead, coming np a cross street. Be
gave him their private and rfhnt signal; as much
as to say, “ That is oar man—look out for him.”
Lowell took the bint, and stepping aoroas the
street, came up so as to meet Rouse Due to fare,
while James graduated his paee so that he should
overhaul Boose at the same time that Lowell
should meet him. Nearer and nearer the gap
closed up. until all three came together. Now was
the important time, the time for presence oT mind.
and # the time for action. Lowell reached his hand
oat to him T saying: “How do you do, sir? I
thick I have seen you somewhere ?” Taking
hold of Lowell's extended hand, he replied: “ I
think you must be mistaken.” Lowell held to
Roosd** hand to give it a long shako, when Officer
James, coming up, spoke out, saying: “How do
yon do, Mr. Revenge? I believe that wm
whatvon once called yourself in a letter to die.”
At this sudden announcement, Rons* joked his
hand away from Lowell, and made a pass for his
side-pocket, and at the instant, just in the nick
of time, James caught him by the anus from be
hind, and held him while Lowell put on the hand
cuffs, and he was then inarched off to jail. On
being searched, a large dirk-knife was found in
his side-pocket, which Mr. James has now at his
office. Besides this, they found some important
memoranda npon his person, which implicate cer
tain parties, and may lead to tbeir arrest.
On their rot urn to search Room’s house, they met
his wife in tho street, who is described as a very
pretty aud intelligent woman. They discovered
uponner wrists a pair of gold bracelets, which they
recognised as having been stolen from Mr. Welch
et Auburn, at the rime of the burglary. They were
valued at $65. Jamee told her he wanted them.
She desired to know “why,” and said they were a
present from a friend. James told her he knew all
about it, and sbe had better keep truth on her side.
She then took them off, and handed them over to
him. They then informed her of the predica
ment her husband was in, when she seemed ex
cited and alarmed. They went with her to the
house, and proceeded to March it from top to bot
tom. They found a trunk fall of silks, supposed
to have been stolen from Mr. Morgan, at Skaneate
les. Taking up a carpet from the floor, and brush
ing away the dust, they discovered what they sup
posed to be two deep-sunk nails* heads in the floor,
covered with dust. 9 hey removed the dost, and
found them to be screw heads. Drawing the screws,
they raised a board, and beneath it was found a
large quantity of silver ware, probably stolen from
Welch, at Auburn.
They also found one hundred and eighty keys,
of all descriptions, and other burglar’s tools, which
may now be seen at Lowell's office. AH of this
property they brought to Syracuse. Retiming to
the jail with their booty, they took their prisoner
and started west on the Hudson Railroad. While
ferrying across the river at Albany, about half
past ten o’clock on Saturday night the prisoner,
made a rudden spring overboard, and was of course
drowned.
Tho last words Rons© spoke, Just before Jump
ing off tbe boat, were : “ Well, Xam notro haully
off as ‘ Old Brown.’ He will not be hung. „ This
was addressed to OflicerLowell, who was endeavor
ing to cheer him up. . . ... „ ,
James and Lowell remained at Albany all day
Sunday in search of his body, but without succeea.
They found his cap, however.
Rouse was probably one or the Widest, meet
adroit, and desperate burglars_in existence, and
his life has been the pnee of his many daring
crimes. . _ . _
