WEDNESDAY, JANUARY I.t, 1804,
Minn was there a satirist so profoundly regretted
as William iflakepeace Thsokeray. We may be
sure that the man was something more than a Intl
dart who is thus mournedby hundreds of thousands
of Engllsimen and Amerloans. As some indication
ef the universal appreciation of his Worth we quite
the following opinions and anecdotes from• leading
journals. The London Times thus explains the
causes of his sudden death, and tells the story of his
life:
"Suddenly one of our - greatest literary men has det
parted, sever more shall the • ens head of Mt.
Thackeray. with its mass of sneezy hair; begeen
towering among us. It was but two days ago That
he might be seen at his club, radiant and buoyant
with glee. Yesterday m o rning he was found deed
in bin bed. With all , his high spirits he did not seem
well ; he complained of illness ; bathe was often ill,
and lie laughed of his present attack. lie said that
he was about to undergo some • treatment which
would work a perfect cure in hie system, and Bo tie
made light of his malady. Be-was guttering froin
two instinct complaints, one of which has now
wrought his deatn. More than a dozen years ago,
while he was writing Penifetinis, it will be remem
bered that the publication of that wore. was stopped
by his serious illness. He was brought to thiatti's
door, and be was saved from death by Dr. Elliot ion,
to whom, in gratitude, be dedicated the novel when
be lived to finish it. But ever since that ailment he
has been subject every month or Mx weeks to attacks
of eickuess, attended with violent latching. He Was
congratulatieg himself the other day on the failure of
his old enemy to return, end then he checked himself,
an if he ought not to be too sure of a release from his
plague. OA Wednesday morning tne complaint re
turned, and be was in great suffering all day. lie
COWas hatter in the event‘z, and his servant, about
the time of leaving him for the night, proposed to
sit up with him. This he detained. He was heard
moving about midnight, and he must have died be.
tween 2 and 3in the morning of yesterday. His me.
Meal atteneants attribute his death to effusion bn
the brain, They add that he had a very large braid,
weighing no less than 5834 oz. He thus died of the
complaint which seemed to trouble him least. He
died full of strength anu rejoicing, full of plans and
hopes. On Monday last he was congratulating him
self on having finished four numbers of a new novel;
he had the manuscript in his puke*, and, with a
boyish franknees, showed the last pages to a friend,
asking him to read them and see whet he could
Make Of them. 'When he had completed four num
bers more ffe said he would subject himself to the
chili of a very clover surgeon, and be no more
an Invalid. In the fullness of Me powers he has
fallen before a complaint which gave hem no Merin.

thing better has been written then _that which we
have under Thaokerayei name. There is a rich
humor, too, in his writing which is very amusing.
For humor and play of fancy what can be better
than his potrest They are among the clexerest
things in the language. Highly polished as his style
Was, he wrote, at least in his latter days, with great
ease. He wrote like print. and made very few cote
rections. What be had to say came naturally to
him; be never made an effort in his writing; and he
rather despised writing which is the result of effort.
This naturalness be carried into his daily life. He
had in him the simplicity of thesehdd with the
experience of the man. It was curious to see how
Warmly his friends loved him, and how fervent
ly his enemies hated him The hate which he
excited among" those who but half knee him
will soon be forgotten ; the warmth of affection
by which he Was endeared to many friends will
long be remembered. He 'had his foibles, and so
have we all. Some of his foibles, such as his sensi
tiveness to. criticism, always excited the good hu
mored mirth of his friends. But these foibles were
as nothing beside the true greatness and goodness of
the man. It was impossible to be long with hen
without seeing his truthfulness, his gentleness, his
humility, his sympathy with alfsuffering, his tender
senile of honor ; and one felt theme moral qualities
all the more when one came to see how clear was
his insight Into human nature, how wide was his .
experience of life, how large his acquaintance with
books, how well he had thought upon all he had
seen, and how clearly and gracefully he expressed'
himself. A man in all the qualities of intellect, he
wag a child in all the qualities of heart;
. and when
his life comes to be laid bare before the public in a
biography,we haven° doubt that, whatever intel
lectual rank may be assigned to him, rio man of let
ters, with anything like the same power of mind,
will - be' regarded as nobler, purer, better, kinder
than he."
To prove him no cold•hearted cynic, (the Daily
News quotes, from the lecture on George 111., the
following noble passage, whioia tells of the insanity
of that - wretched old man
' , Ali light, all 'reason, all sound of human voices,
all the pleasuree of this world of God, were taken
from him. Some alight lucid momenta he had ;in
one of which the Queen, desiring to see him, en
tered the room, and found him singing a. hymn. and
accompanying himself at the harpsichord. When
he had finished, he knelt down and prayed aloud for
her, and then for his family, and then for the nation,
concluding with a prayer for himself, that it might
please God to avert his heavy calamity from him,
but if not, to give him resignation to, submit. He
then burst into tears, and his reason again fled.

hit which have been published in this country. We
cannot quote its beat passages, but will extract its
reference to that well-known sentence in" The New
comes," which, in -1854, excited so much indignant
comment. The Times says
"There was a ridiculous misconception, by some
senseless American critic, of a passage in the glum
ing •of this work, which was represented as die
awing Washington. In describing the period of
p
thestory, the author, among other characteristic!,
spoke of the time when lttr. Washington was head
ing the American rebels with a courage, it must be
confeeeed, worthy of a better came. Of course.
this was written historically, and no reader of
ordinary intelligence could misunderstand it but
Thaekeray, when it was brought to his. notice in
the Neu/ York correspondence of the London Tines,
felt called upon to supply the fools with brains as
Well as books. 'I am tninkine," he wrote in reply
to the Times, !about '76. Where, in the name of
common sense, is the insult to 1853'? Need I say
that no officers were instructed (until they were
taught 'better manners) to call Washington 'lllr.
Washington?' and that the Americans were called
rebels during the whole of that contest? Rebels 1
01 course they were rebels; and-I should like to
know what native American would not have been a
rebel in that cause. As irony is dangerous, and has
hurt the feelings of kind friends whom I would not
wish to oftene, let me say, in perfect faith and
gravity, that I think the cause for which Washing
ton fought entirely just and right, and the champion
the very noblest. purest, bravest, best of God's men."
Tnackeray was at Cambridge With Xinglake,
the author of "Eothen," Warburton, who wrote
"The Cross and the Crescent," Monckton Milne.,
and other men of literarydistinakion. It is pleasant
to know that his intercourse with his great rival in
fiction was pleasant, and honorable to both men.
Speaking of Dickens, at a dinner of the Royal
Academy, Thackeray said
"I can remember when Mr. Dickens was a very
young man, and had commenced delighting the
world with some charming, humorous works, of
which I cannot mention the name, but which were
colored bright green, and came out ones a month.
This young man wanted an artist to illustrate his
writings, and I recollect walking up to his chambers
with two or three drawings in my hand, which,
strange to say, be did not find skitable."
It is improbable that the offer was ever renewed.
Theekeray NI biography will probably be written
by his daughter, the author of the pleasant "Story
of Elizabeth." But so mush of his flake is the
higheit kind of autobiography, that iris by " Becky

New York Times suggests that Westminister Abbey
should be his resting place But if he is not there
laid iri company with some of the wisest and stu
pidest of English authors, we shall be sattsfiedto be

are worthy of a solitary tomb, and a special pil

Mr. Forney's Lecture on "Loyal Leagne2o ,
(From the Weeninaton Chronicle. Jan. 12.)
The lecture delivered by J. W. Forney last even
ing at Odd Fellows' Hall, before the Dramatic and
Literary Association of this city, on "Loyal
Leaguer," attracted a numerous and highly Intel
lectual audience, among whom we noticed Secre
tary Chase, Senator Lane, of Indiana, Speaker
Colfax, and other distinguished gentlemen.
The lecture opened with an earnest protest in
favor of free speech, which, in the past, had been
practically denied on e the question of slavery. Its
asse this cit, outside of Conress, would
have been the signal for a disturbance g that would
have been countenanced by the police. Even the
Congressional opponent of this great wrong was a
marked man, the object of contumely and reproach.
When Owen Lovejoyj dared assail the enormities of
the ineritution, and charge home on it the death o f .
his murdered brother be was greeted by glances of
bate—words of malediction. Men gloated over the
cowardly assault on the Massachusetts Senator.
Yet the voice of discussion was not stifled, but
rather stimulated. Now no more pregnant theine
loosened the tongue, busied the pen, or fired the
heart of the patriot. It was canvassed around the
loyal hearth-stone, in the loyal tent, the free church,
the busy 'city, and retired hamlet. And wherever
fearlessly discussed it was vigorously denounced.
We were rapidly reaching that stage when no man
would defend it. Even those who censured the rein
cats conceded that slavery was dying out and that
had no MO occurred, stringent legislation would
have been required to check its grasping exactions.
It was matter of congratulation that at last, in the
National Capital, denunciations of slavery could be
Leard without danger, and proclaimed without fear.
There were two classes of the opponents of the
Government, and of that invaluable support of the
Government, the Loyal League, one professed to be
loyal, yet was not. The other nretended to be neu
tral, yet Wag in secret fellowship with, traitors. Tue
League was started to bond together loyal men, and
create an unarmed army of the friends of the Union.
It was not a combination of office-holders-or office
seekers. It had no room for demagogues. Hanks
masonry, it has but one object, the salvation of the
country. - Unlike Know Hothinglnn, it embraced
all classes of citizens on a basis of principles se
true as eternal. A morning journal had printed
the oath with words of censure. But what pa.
triot 'Would recoil from such a pledee I We should
renew our fealty as we make our prayer;
daily, for our country was next to our God. .We
humble ourselves before Him not for Ilia good, but
our own. We - recognize our 'dependence on Him,
and we obould gratefully acknowledge our obli
gations to our country. He would take a thousand
oaths, if teed be, to further that country's cause.
The oath was- necessary. In Washington men
were leagued to aid traitors, and the most hideous
feature of this rebellion was its disregard of
solemn obligations. It-was proper for loyal men to
protect themselves , against the mechinations :of
traitors. The Leagues started in December, 1861, an

BOHEMIA,
A. new literary paper, the " Round Table," and an
article therein which delivers a merciless and well
merited castigation to the Bohemians of New York,
are at Present the topics of no little conversation
and discuesion. The artiste in question possesses no
peculiar literary merit; but its deice yet relishable
spirit of commination has literallyset the world of
Bohemia by the ears. Bohemia is a model after the
Parisian Boheme, a plaster cast of a marble original.
Hoheme 11 the microcosm of Parisian littdrsteurs
the little world of.contemporary writers who have
not yetobtained any peculiar recognition from the
great world, or the reputations of great authors.
Bohemia is the microcosm of hieroglyphics ; the un
known characters in writing; the little world of the
so-called Bedouins of literature; men, women, and
children, who, afflicted with the cacoethea ecribendi,
write for literary weeklies, " Harper's," and the
COntinentql " Magazines. Strictly: speaking, the
Bohemian system involves a league of these Be•
douins, defensive and offensive, especially the latter,
intended for the conservation of such interests as
rationally appertain to soiled linen and inflamed Ben
timehtalLsm. Bohemia is organized, but "He lines
have" not "gone forth to the ends of the earth."
Bohemia is a monarchy, having its king and queen.
Its subjects are not exactly Sybarites, who would
groan even upon beds of rosepleavem, or, as Pope
has it,
Die of a rose, in aromatic pain."
They graze upon the g , short commons" of life;
write & great deal, receive but little of praise or
compensation and,Wrayed in shirt-collars, which
were certainly worn before the deluge came upon
its cleansing mission, have gone out to reform the
morals, of the City, and establish probably - the
nastiest ethics which the human soul ever con
ceived. •
As you walk up Broadway on some Sunny after.
neon. be Eire and drop in at " Pfaff's." Pfaff's" is
the Bohinian heaven, although it is down one flight
of step. from the street, and various placards call
your attention to the exquisite quality of roast beef
which the angels -of this terrestrial paradise have
prepared for the restless spirits of all good Boise
miens, at the lowest price which will stand the
mathematical test of a close calculation of profit
and lora. Pfaff 'a 'version of the nectar of the gods
is prime "Speyer'a Lager ;" he gives good measure,
and will not object if you pull out a villainous pipe
°bargee to the muzzle with execrable tobacco, and
putt AN k noscotl4 vapors, within the classic Shades of
his paritdise. One'i Soul is filled with reverential
awe aeteglances from the 'bland face of this ua•
fathomable German to the colored bottles which
stand in potential rows behind him, and content•
plates by is rapid mathematical process the vast
amounts of beery-philosophy which, flowing out-
Ward,. mingle with "the vast circulation" of the
weekly press of New York.
In the vaulted chamber beneath the side-walk is
the penetralia—the sanctum eiwictorum of Bohemia.
Here, in all weather, and at various hours, the mag
nates sit in caucus, pipe in hand and beer at lip,
discussing politics, literature, the arts and sciences,
the drama, and the philosophy of life. Here they de
claim against a perverse and unnatural world, which
persistently refuses to recognize their genius; against
a forward generation that will not adopt their ethics,
or invite them to good dinners and the festivities of
the social assemblage. The little world of Bohemia
is frigid. It is.essentially out in the cold. Society
never heard of it, save in the newspapers; which is
unfortunate for society.
Some years ago Bohemia established the Saturday
Press, and wrote for it. It was a marvel of typogra
phy and press.work, and the - first numbers sparkled
with wit and good criticism. Ike a eonsequenoe,pe
better class or people subscribed, and the Press
seemed in a fair way to lead the van. But Bohemia
never can forget its natural affinities, and presently
it commenced a weekly eulogy upon nasty Bohemian
books, and nasty ethics ; then down went the Press,
It had knocked its head rather too heedlessly
against morality.
•
Bohemia is patronizing to young writers. It ex.
tends a fatherly, guiding hand to them, and loves to
drink much beer at their expense, or to take a quiet
bite of ham and eggs in the same manner. Callow
youths are fond of eliciting its sapient and oracular
criticisms; and to Pfaff , s they go and strangle them
selves in pipe•antoke, In order that their mental
powers may be nourished. Bohemia lounges In the
lobbies sof-the theatres, and criticises freely accord.
nig to its peculiar ideas of personal and dramatic
excellence. Bohemia has a mania for the operatic
"high ID," and talks grimly of what Rogett used to
do, and what Brignoli cannot do. It punches feebly
; and in fact does what clubs dootaly in
a cheaper and more characteristic way.
It has been said that Bohenda haaita queen. The
lady bear. the reputation of alert/ale Mmeenas, who
is ever eager to aid financially such of the subject/1
as may be in want, or involved in financial embax
resaments. Stooping to the democratic idea of mi
crocosm, she frequently sups at Pfaff'', appearing
to have a friendly word for all. Qf course, all previ.
ous remarks upon the personal cad moral unclean
lines. of the bulk of Bohemia must be held inappli
cable to la Reine de Bohlme. Theoretically, Bohemia
is exclusive; practically, it h not. Mutual admirso
tion is one of fiat fundamental principles ; contempt
for "the intolerable trammels of society," and a
vindication of the right of " genius" to do all things
without stint or restraint, seem to be the compre
hensive ideas of its theology. From these facts, a
very fair idea of the institution as it is may be
gleaned. Such are the ways of the Bedouins, hunt
ing items and writing ephemeral articles during the
day, gossiping and philosophizing during the evening
at Pfaff and working out those sublime problems
of reform, which gain no credence or respect beyond
the smoky precincts of their subterranean paradise.
A few of the Bohemians are editors, but the majo
rity depend upon the poorly compensated chance
work which may be thrown in their way, or preca
rious contributorships to the story-papers. Their
incomes are consequently small, and but few can
say how many of them may lead the lives of a Boyce
and Savage, pinched with cold, hunger, and po
verty.
ARREST OF A HIGH OFFICIAL.
Marshal Murray has capped the crax of his er
ploits by arresting AIL Palmer, the p veite secretary
of the Collector of the Port, charging him with com
plicity with contraband traders. He was taken into
custody at the very door of the Collector's office,
and conveyed to Fort Lafayette, where he yet re.
mains. Mr. Palmer is said by some to be a Rhode
Island man, who was appointed at the solicitation
Of OW Mayor Opdyke ; by others to have studied law
In Mr. Barney's office, and to have gained the ap.
pointment through personal merit. Ir is ;dated that
he
,latter gentleman believes in his innocence, end
has not hesitated to proclaim that confidence. The
evidence upon which the Marshal arrested him con
sisted of brief notes embodying requests for sums of
money by him written to one Benjamin, a contra
band trader who had been previously arrested.
Theurer. supposed by some to give a clue to the ab
straction of thaw bonds, for the loss of which Mr. H.
B. Stanton was, a few weeks ago, suspended from
his official duties. Nothing positive is yet known,
however, and, unfortunately, the few facts which
have been given to the public are just sufficient to
raise a presumption of his guilt, whereas, he may be
totally innocent of the charges laid against him.
Hitherto, his character has been] unimpeached.
Some of our leading dailies have shown an inclina
tion to sneer at him for certain political /crimes of
presumption Ce n tr al e committed in thrusting him
self into the Committee over the heads of
Messrs. Opdyke, Morgan, et al. It seems at least
Indelicate to lampoon a man on such a seers , while
• be is placed in a peculiar situation, with the Charge
of disloyalty and fraud imputed to him. However,
perhaps the dailies understand their own business,
and have that human instinct which urges reason
ing beings to kick a man—especially when lie is
-down. •
It is boldly asseverated that there is to
be a descent upon the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
befoi e any great lapse of time, and that
certain fraudulent practices among the naval
officials will cause some more Fort Lafayette

to know, but there is an emphatic
_significance in.

circle, as opposed to the "nobody," Which repre
sents the subordinate officers. And so the ball rolls
on, until the public; is becoming heartsick of all
startling ( disclosures , and the eternal sound of
*grand." Surely, the old dramatist must have
taken a long look ahead When he christened his pro
duction "A mad world, my maters I" for never
was the world madder, or more stupidly crazy, than.

The old year is out and the new year in, and it
may be Worth while to notice the struggle of the
elemeuts during which the transition took plate. At
6 P. DI, of December 31st a storm sprang up sudden
ly and furiously. It came from e westerly direction,
and blew a perfect hurricane, continuing without
intermission through the night. It is not remark.
able that the thought occurred et the time that the
winds had come to blow away the antiquated
and give the youthful '64 a fair start in the world.
But, as the piercing blasts whistled and the driving
rain rattled, I wondered whether, amid the fiiry of
the storm, thn heart of the Northern people Came
out to those who Were braving It on the dreary
plains of Virginia, in the valleys around Chatta
nooga, and on the bleak summit of Lookout. At
midnight, when we all bade farewell to the dying
year, the breast of epery soldier was Inn of tome—

again firmly restored. -
On looking over Tullahoma . this morning, a
familiar object was- atiatedikcim the scene. The
church spire had dieeiveatitd,tial the church itself

towered but a moderate 'distance toward the hea

summon the worshippers, but served only to remind
us of the once sacred - character of the edifice it sur
mounted, and of the stream of Secessionism that in
all;probability Rotted from its pulpit. Its absence
adds to the barrapks•like appearanee of the place,
and were it not that &judgment seems to have been

It is pleasing to note the numerous re-enlistments
in this corps. The regiments that have already gone
home on furlongivare the 29th Pennsylvania, 28th
Pennsylvania, 111th Pennsylvania, 29th Ohio, 438th
Ohio, 34 Maryland, 00th New York, and 3d Wiscon
sin. In addition to these, a image proportion Of the 2d
Massachusetts, .fitliConnectiont, 46th Pennsylvania,
and other regiments, have also re-enlisted. It may be
estimated that the 12th Corps will furnish more than
half its fighting force as veterans. In this respect it
takeithe palm. Reports state that the 11th Corps is
also coming up to the work nobly. Tay opportuni
ties for observation, outside of Hooker's command,
are not extensive enough to japery a positive state
ment of what is being done in other parts of this
army, but correspondents of Western papers do not
give very , favorable accounts of the progress that hex
been made in re-enrolments,
During the winter, while military operations are
suspended, the principal part of the labor and re.
sponalbility falls on those who guard our lines of
communication and Supply. Since our transfer from
the Potomac bur work has been efficiently done by
Williams' division iof this corps. As considerable
activity may be expected from tberrebel cavalry, all
available precautions have been taken, the forces
strengthened, and ample provision made for the pro

The following extracts are from letters received by

and the Mississippi Talley, from which may be per
ceived the urgent need of prouipt and persistent
action on the part of the loyal and humane North :
Pf.esavtran, Deo. 31, 1863.
* * There is no mistake about there being
rolich destitution in this department. The suffering
seems to be about equally distributed among the co
loved refugees (contrabands) and the white refugees
(Unionists). The difference between the two classes
is that the letter are provided for by the State Go.
vernment, which impose, Wpm.* on the rich rebels for
their maintenance while the former are dependent
for what they need -Upon- the philanthrophy of the
North. Ido not mean to imply by this that Gov. John
:son and his coadjutors are insensible to the obi= of
the blacks, but that they have as much as they can
attend to, and more, in providing for the wants of
the poor whites. From what I have been able to
collect, I Should estimate the number of newly freed
people in this department at present time at fifteen
thousand.
It is the policy of the authorities here not to
let them accumulate in camps and barracks, await
ing future developments, but to distribute them
wherever their Services are needed and people are
willing to hire them. Farmers and citizens, men
and women needing help, obtain a pass to go out - to
" Hobson's; Chapel," the "contraband rendezvous,"
about three miles from the oily, where the blacks
are collected, and with whoin they make the best
bargain they can. This Hobson's Chapel is con
stantly changing its inmates, some going out to com
pensated service, others coming in from chattle
bondage. The new ones that come in must be
clothed and instructed. This is being done by good
people here sent from the North. In this work
we of Philadelphia are privilged to take part.
These 15,000 wi l non be multiplied tenfold. That
the old system of slavery is falling to pieces in this
State, is patent to the dullest observer. All admit
that before long,the 215,000 Tennessee slaves will be
freed. What shall be done with them I Hmploy as
laborers those who can work, is the answer of all
intelligent men here with whom I have conversed—
and instruct in schools the remainder. I have yet
to see the first Tennessean—and I have talked with
a good many on the subject-Lwho has not seemed
relieved, when assured that the North would pro.
vide teachers to the extent of their necessities. An
intelligent citizen of this place told meths morn
ing that Tennessee would need at least three hundred
teachers supply the want.
The same is true of the other slave States. It
will require a large number of teachers and helpers
to reconstruct society in the South. Whether the
Government organize a bureau of emancipation or
not, this work will surely devolve upon the loyal
and humane people of the free States. We have
winked at and aided in the degradation of the black
man, and we must now aid and promote the work of
Iris elevation.
P. S I have read this letter to my friend, Dr.
a Tennessean, whom I see here daily. He is an
ardent and unconditional Unionist, a particular
friend and adviser of Governor Johnson.
"Do you approve of what I have written, Doe
tor 1"
"Yes—fully. What you have said is just right.
Your people are now on the right track. They did
Well in working for the abolition of slavery, though
it is only now that I see it. I used to be opposed to
them" (the Doctor is the owner-in-lam of forty
slaves) ; " but now slavery is dead. Itslonly ray of
hope is. the 11111600311 of the rebellion. Slavery and
the rebellion must go down together. If your friends
want to help us, let them fight to put down the re
hellion; and work to aid us in solving our nodal
problem."
.NASHVILLE, 311111. 1, 186.1
I am glad the supplies are coming, as they Ire
much needed here at this moment. The Amodio'•
tion did well to buy blankets and 'hoes. Nothing
could come better here at this time. Blanket. will
serve as shawls during the . day. and as beds at
night.
The high price of rents hakes it hard for the
poor. Large families are crowded into amen rooms,
unglazed, and in every way comfortless. Here in
the city there would be no difficulty about the
support of the blacks if they had only a place
to live. Labor of all kinds is in great demand,
and these blacks have all enamel naok of making
money. All agree here that the black' haves faculty
in getting along and adjusting themselves to airoum•
stances much superior to the poor whitest The fact
is the blacks in the South are by all odds the most
thrifty, industrious,managing people to be met with.
All they want is a ance. Here In Nashville, their
industry, thrift, respectability, and successful enter
prise are matter, of general observation. I have
made a list of the well•to-do and rich colored men of
this city, and its length would quite surprise you. I
have the names of a dozen men 'whose aggregate
property is worth not less than $lBO,OOO. One man
is worth $30,000, another $26,000, another $20,000,
and so on down. They are chiefly haokmen and
gardeners, (truokmen) and the like.
A 100111 Freedman's Association has been formed
here since my arrival, composed partly of men and
women of Nashville, and partly of strangers sojourn

" Nowhere has the division of the into smaii

Row LOUIS NAPOLEON GETS UP HIS OPPOSITION.
The following is from a letter in the Spectator: " I
heard, on perfectly reliable authority, a curious
anecdote of the way in which the Emperor gets up
hie own Opposition. All the world remember. the
famous speech of Prince Napoleon on the Roman
question, which established his claim to rank among
the fore m ost orator. of the day in France. Many
at the time could hardly repress a suspicion that,
revolutionary as it seemed to be, it wax done to
order. The following is the history of it : The
Emperor, speaking one day with his Foreign
Minister, observed to him that there was one side
of the Roman question that had not been sufficiently
brought out, that of the part played by diplomacy
toward, endeavoring to procure internal reforms
in the Pontifical States, and otherwise to reach
solution through Rome herself, and asked to have
something drawn up for hint accordingly. The Min
ister gave the order to a competent and confidential
writer, and coon after forwarded to the Emperor a
careitil precis of past diplomatic action upon the
Court of Rome. A few days after he was told by
Ids master that hehad received andread the memoir.
But weeks elapsed, and the author, who knew the
destination of his manuscript, became anxious to
know something more of its fate. The minister
spoke again on the subject to the Emperor, who said
tnore were some good things in the paper, and that
De Wished to keep it by him. Some time more
elapsed, and behold, On opening one day hie Monittur,
the writer found his Weis, nearly at full length, in
the speech of Prince Napoleon. Nor is this the only
instance, I am told, in which this strange despot
hex—shall I say amused himself I—in getting the
pros and cons of political questions debated thus in
public by xecretly.appointed advocate.. All is not,
'hoWever, always unreal in the play ; and perhaps a
minister, warned by his master that the Imperial
policy was about to change, and that be himself
must fall, has received at the ammo time gracious
leave to defend himself as best he might."
AN UNEXPECTED FlNlSH.—Speaking of the ten
denoy of temperance orators to set themselves for
ward as prtvious examples of the blighting effects
Of drink, a correspondent of the Inverness Adver
tiser says : " This predeliatiOn was smartly utilised
the other evening, at a temperance meeting. A per
son in the hall got up and said : My friends, three
months ago I signed the pledge. [Clapping of hands
and approving cheers.] In a month afterwards, my
friend., I bad a sovereign in my pocket, a thing I
never had before. [Clapping, and loud cheers.] In
another month, my friends , flied agood coat on my
back, a th ing I never had before. [Cheers and clap
ping, much louder.] A fortnight after that, my
friend., I bought a coffin.' The audience was going
to sheer here, but stopped and looked serious. • You
wonder,' continued the lecturer, t why I bought a
coffin. Well, my friend. I bought the coffin because
I felt pretty certain that if I kept the pledge another
fortnight I should want one."

as if he had Just come out of the house. " Hellen!"
says the prisoner, " Why did you not let my

I went to the Wellington and had a glass, and pre
sently in comes the coachman. Then he tells the
prisoner that the governor won't let him have
the hoses at any prioe—he is to go and sell it at
Tattersall's or to a private party. Then the rid

it to you." But you may to any one else!"
" Yes," says the man. " Well," mws I, "sell it to
me." [Much laughter.] So the prisoner begins to
count out 26 sovereigns again to give them to me.
"That won't do," says the man. "If I sit here
and see you take the money from him I might as
well sell it to him at once." " says I, "£lO

"Come and ace the governor." Out he goes ; I fol

We were just by a public' house kept by a friend of

A ease has just been brought to light at Parkgate,
near Reu ernam, showing the most ab.osking and

real condition of the girl. On the night of the I.9th,
however, she •erred a favorable opportunity and
escaped to the house of a neighbor. Her ap

tale she 'lola of the sufferings she bad undergone

On the following morning, Sergeant • Uothe went. to
the father's house, and insisted ' upon seeing. Ws
daughter. After come little hesitation she was
called, and an object presented itself that could
scarcely be recognized as a human being. Wrapped
around her were a few raga in a most Pithy condi.
tion ; her eyes were black, and nearly closed; her
lips were swollen to an enormous Size ; and on one
ether eats was a large wound, from which blood was
flowitlF. Her features were shrunken and distorted,.
and altogether her appearanee was of the most sinkening description. The officer tried every maim
to Induce her to' speak, brit he was ra aabie to

Letter from Professor Cairns's- on Negro
Labor.
To the Editor of the Times
Six : My attention has been called to a paling* in
a leading article in your paper of the lesh mutt., in
which Sou refer to me in the following terms:
"If Prof. Claims is to be taken as an authority
on the value of slave labor, the economical sound
-nsisat of such a speculation (carrying emancipated
negroes to Demerara) is more than doubtful. Ac-
eroding to him the neginell in the Southern States
are' naturally incapable of any but the most prima.
tive and mechanical operations of agriculture."
Without stopping to inquire how far my opinion
on the subject of .slavie labor him any pertinency to
a question as to the expediency of permitting the
emigration to our colonies of labor which is free,
allow me to say, with reference to the latter portion
of the extract, that, so far as have expressed any
opinion on the subject of natural capacity of ne
gram for industry, that opinion la precisely the re.
verse of what you attribute to me. With your per.
mission, I will quote one passage out of many to
the samiretfect from the work to Which I presume
fotrallude
"There is not a tittle of evidence to show that
the aversion of the negro to labor is naturally
Stronger than that of any other branch of the human
family. So long as he itrcompelled to work for the
exclusive benefit of a master, he will be inclined to
evade his task by every means in• his power, as the
white man would do under similar circumstances;
but emancipate him, and subject him to the same
motives which act upon the free white /aborer, and
there is no reason to believe he will not be led to
exert himself with equal energy." (Slave Power,
pp. 41-42, second edition.]
As you have thought it worth while to refer to
my authority, perhaps you will allow me to add the
following, whickhas some bearing on the question
With reference to Which you have adduced it:
"I am quite ready to admit, what nothing but the
pernicious influence of slavery on the negro would
ever have given a pretext for denying, and what our
West Indian experiment has now conclusively esta
blished, that the negro in freedom is amenableto the
same influences as the white man, .that he can- ap.
pieciate as keenly independence, comfort, and Mau•
ence, and that, like him, he will work, and save,
and speculate to obtain these blessings." ['bid, pp.
339, 340.]

A letter from Florence .to the London Daily
News says: Speaking of sculpture, your readers
may be interested to hear of some remarkable works
lately imported from America, and now to be seen
in the Via della Farnace. They consist of a head of
St. Stephen, in gray granite or syenite, and the cast
of a large statue of an athlete reeling under .his
deathblow. Both were executed by Dr. Milliner,
an American physician, who has never visited Eu
rope, or studied sculpture professionally. What
renders their unquestionable merit more remarks,.
ble, is the fact that they were done without clay
models. The St. Stephen is a very powerful head,
indeed, combining the expression of mortal agony
with celestial aspiration in a manner which the rude
material (common unpolished granite) renders quite
surprising."
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says
of General Stoneman's successor "He is Kenner

amongst the first prisoners; was duly exchanged;
is about thirty-five years old; son of Mu. Judge
McLean and Jeptha D. Garrard. He has been in
several battles, and for distinguished services and
ability, at the battle of Gettysburg, was made brigs

and has a high sense of moral rectitude worthy of
all honors his country can give him. He is a grand
son of Israel Ludlow, one of the original proprietors
of Cincinnati."

The French Emperor, soon after the receipt of
the news of the defeat of Bragg , * army at Chatta
nooga, sent for Dr. dwinn, one of the Confederate
semiofficial envoys, and had a long interview with
him. When Dr. Gwinn left, be called on the French
Foreign Minister with an autograph letter from his
Majesty. All sorts of speculations were rife re'
'pealing the meaning of these mysterious interviews'
but it is generally understood to have had relation
to the annexation of California to the French-
Mexican Empire—a project which the treaoherous
Owinn is said to favor.
