FOREIGN GOSSIP.
One of Thackeray’s earliee t productions is re
vealed to . Jhe public, in a reminiscent letter by Dr,
Cornish, of Kent. When the great Catholic Eman
cipation meeting took place on Penenden Heath,
Thackeray brought him some verses which were af
terwards forwarded to an Exeter paper for inser
tion, and duly appeared. These verses, the Doctor
thinksj"were the first composition of the great hu
morist that were ever published:
IRISH MELODY.
Air— “ The Minstrel Bay,"
Mister (Shied into Kent has gone.
On Penendon Heath you'll had him ;
' Nor think you that be came alone,
There's Doctor Doyle behind him.
“ Men of Kent,” said this little man,
“If you hate Emancipation,
You’re a set of foolshe then began
A “ out and dry” oration.
He strove to speak, but the men of Kent
Began a grevlous shouting,
When out of his wagon the little man went,
And put a stop to their spouting.
“ What though these Heretics heard me not,”
Quoth he to his friend Canonical,
My speech is safe in the ’ Times,, I wot,
And eke In the ‘ Morning Chronicle ”
Those very stiff-neoked swells, the Austrian no
bilityjfsays the Illustrated Times), have recently re
ceived-a heavy rap upon their noble- knuckles from
no lets a personage, than the Emperor Francis
Joseph. At one of the Court balls, a young officer
of artillery, of plebeian birth, asked a lady of high
rank jo danae with him. All the lady’s blue blood
flushed into her face as she refused with marked
disdain. Poor young officer! For a moment he
must have felt every Inch a democrat; the contempt
,of a woman Is hard to bear. The Emperor, who had
seen the insult offered to his guest and his uniform,
oame up and said, *’ Captain, my mother wishes to
dance with you!” And a minute after the gunner
was clasping the hand, and perhaps the waist, of her
Imperial Highness the Archduchess Frederick So
phia Dorothea Wilhelmina, mother of his Imperial
Majesty Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria.
Dr, Franz Dlnglestedt, the poet and dramatist,
and one of the successors of 'Goethe, as general in
tendant of the Grand Ducal Theatre of Saxe Wei
mar, has issued a circular, stating that the Brit four
plays of the announced eyelus of Shakspeare’s his.
torical dramas (viz., Richard the Second, Henry the
Fourth, both parts, and Henry the Fifth ) will be repre- v
sented on the Weimar stage In the course of this
month. The whole of the intended eyelus (embrac
ing, besides the above-mentioned plays, Henry the
Sixth, both parts, and Richard the Third) will be
noted, night after night, in the week following
Easter, thus Introducing to Germany, in a grand
style, the jubilee of the English poet—an enterprise
in which Wilhelm Meister himself would revel.
A good bon mot of the Grand Vizier, apropos of
the clerical squabble about the burial of the late
Baroutcbibaschi, is told by the Levant Herald.
It appears that the defeated “Catholic” party
urged their right, in the last resort, before his High
ness, affirming that they held conclusive proofs of
the deceased functionary having died a member of
their communion. “ Well, then,” said Fuad Paoha,
“ since you are thus sure of his soul, you can, I
think, afford to leave the others his bodyan
award which will bear no indifferent comparison
with the famous judgment of Solomon.
Letters from Munich mention a ratal duel be
tween Counts Stembaca and Hohnstein, which re
cently took place near Freising, in Bavaria: Stern
bach, it is said, was jealous of his young wife, and
suspected her of being too partial to his half-bro
ther, Hohnstein, a natural son of the old ex* King of
Bavaria, now in Borne. Hohnstein took offence at
the other’s suspicions, and, instead of expostulating
with him and convincing him that they were un
founded, challenged him. The affair was referred,
according, to one account, to a so-called “court of
honor,” which, notwithstanding the consanguinity
of the adversaries, decided that the duel must take
place. They fought at ten paces. The alleged
adulterer had the first shot, and sent his bullet
straight to the heart of his half-brother. The vic
tim, whf> was lieutenant oolonel of cuirassiers, and
who had the reputation of an excellent officer,
leaves one child a year old. The Munich clergy
refused t 9 attend the burial of the slain man, and
a comrade from the regiment officiated at the grave.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Na
tional Zeitwng states the following anecdote of Mou
ravieff: It is known that Mouravieff has appointed
bis son, a young official, as general and governor of
one of the towns under his rule. This general,
whose wife and children live here in not the best
circumstances, has taken upon himself to . protect a
lady condemned to banishment to Tomsk, and only
to send her there «on paper." When his father
heard ol this —so the story goes here—he sent for his
son to Wilna, and in the presence of several persons
indicted upon him certain paternal chastisement,
such as is not usual between men and generals.
“ O’est du Pierre le Grand,” was somebody’s remark
on this eubjeot.
It will strike the American public, who arro
gate the monopoly of progressive ideas, that in Ire
land women are allowed to vote. True enough, the
Irish Court of Queen’s Bench has decided that wo
men have a right to vote for town commissioners.
The chief justice said that the twenty-second sec
tion of the towns-improvement act clearly gave the
right to vote to “ ever/ person of full age,” duly
qualified by property, without adding anything to
indicate that “ persons” meant males only. Women,
therefore, had a right to vote under the act. Mr,.
Justice O’Brien, Mr. Justice Hayes, and Mr. Justice
Fitzgerald concurred in this view of the law, and
the latter stated that he must not be understood as
denying that ladies were entitled to sit ai town com
missioners, as well as to vote for them.
A “Night Eefuge ” is described in the
correspondence of the Birmingham Journal, One of
these is kept by Nille Jamblain, daughter of a poor
gendarme, who has somehow found means enough
to be a great bonefaotor. Caste and condition do
not exclude from her door, and Madame Jamblain
herself answers the summons of the bell. During a
recent eold spell, “the house was so full,” said she, “I
was compelled to give up the little leather sofa in
the ante rcom to the poorest and most miserable
looking applicant of aIL And would you believe it,
when sailed upon to subicribe her name in,the regis
ter of the establishment, which, by the police regu
lations, every visitor is compelled to do on admis
sion, she proved to be an old oountess, formerly as
celebrated for IMhion and beauty as the Countess de
CastigUone at this moment? She had been refused
admission to the miserable lodging she had been oc
cupying for some time, not being able to pay up the
arrears, and had wandered about the streets iu the
piercing cold until midnight, when the suddenly re
membered the brutal taunt of the coarse landlady of
the lodging, *Go to the refuge; it’s quite good
enough for those who ean’t pay.’ ”
—Gen. Von Boon, the Prussian War Minister,
President Grabow, and Dr. Lo£we, have had a tri
angular quarrel in the Prussian Parliament. Von
Boon taxed Dr. LoSwe with being the author of a
“ briUh attack upon him in the papers. The Presi.
dent then interposed with the remark that the ex*
presslon (hrtisk, “rude” is unparliamentary. [Loud
cheering.] Gen. Von Boon: “I have only charac
terized the attack, as it was in reality, as 1 rude and
violent,’ and IW of opinion that the Herr Presi
dent is not right in his remark.” [Great disturb
ance.] The President (with emphasis): “I stand
by what I have said; the expression of the Herr
War Minister U unparliamentary.” [Loud cheers,]
Gen. Von Boon: “I repeat that I stand by what I
have said.” [Bepeated disturbance.] A member
then rose to order, and declared that the President
must make use of the means at his command to up
hold his authority. Finally matters regained their
' equilibrium.
The correspondence of the Times from the City
of Mexico relates a very considerable sensation has
been created by the circulation of a printed paper
headed the “ Censures of the Church,” declaring
that any person who should presume to convert to
his own use or usurp, under any pretext whatso
ever, property belonging to the Church, should be
“ oursed in his house snd outof his house,in the city
and out of the city, waking and sleeping, eating and
drinking, sitting and walking; he is to be oursed in
his flesh and in his bones, from the tip of his toe to
the top of his head; the vengeance denounced by
God against the children of iniquity i* to fall upon
him; bis name ia to be effaced from the book of the
living, and not to be inscribed in the book of the
just; hlB lot and inheritance Is to be with the fratri
cide Cain, Dsthan, and Abiram, with Ananias, with
Simon Magus, and with the traitor Judaß; he is to
perish on the day of judgment, devoured by eternal
fire, with the devil and hla angels.” This bombastic
anathema Is supposed to be the work of some clerical
zealot and bigot, but Is without authority from the
Tlhurch Government.

—Bishop Uoleuso concludes a pretest, addressed
to the Bishop of Capetown, stating that he has in
structed Dr. Bleett to appear in person in his behair:
Pint, to protest against your Lordship’s jurisdic

West Point Academy-
The last Board of Visitors „r this institution
recommended that the number of cadets be increased
to 400, and tbat the principle of competitive exami
nation be in some mode adopted, so that it shall no
longer be true that 64 per cent., more than one-half;
fail to graduate. This la not only overslaughing the
real talent of the oountry, but a waste of public
money, as well as a dishonor to the institution. In
their report to the Secretary of War the Board of
Visitors truly say j “This principle of oppuiutment
and promotion by merit, which we advocate, is in
full and successful operation in the classiSoatlon acd
advancement of cadets in the Academy itself, and
tbe country will be satisfied can be aa fairly enforoed
on all who aspire to enter, as well as in all promo
tions in the service after leaving the institution.
The principle itself of selection by merit, either in
the mode of public examination or of careful and
searching Inquiry by competent and impartial educa
tors, designated for this purpose by the parties to
whom custom and not law had assigned the grave
responsibility of nominating candidates, had been vo *
luntarily applied in several Congressional districts.
Not a cadet known to have been thus selected and
appointed has ever broken down from want of vigor
-of body or mind, or failed to reach and maintain an
honorable position on the merit roll of the Academy,
and to this careful selection by those who felt the
responsibility of tbe privilege accorded to them Is
the country Indebted for its most eminent and usetul
officers.”
These suggestions of the Board must oommand
the approbation of all Intelligent men. It is not
proposed unnecessarily' to change the nomlnatlbg
power, but to so modify it that merit, and not mere
favor, and family and political -influence, shall con
trol the selection. By merit reference Is not had to
mere scholarship, but to natufaigeniue, disposition,
physical energy, and learning and aptitude for mili
tary. all Sirs, It Is grateful to know that these sug
gestions are commanding the attention of Congress,
and that a bill has been prepared in the Senate to
reduce them to practice.- We hope' no delay or op-,
position will obstruct its paesagi.

The following Is the manifesto of General Gari
baldi, for the publication of which the Dtrilto , of
Turin, to be prosesuted:
CArrtxKA, January, 1864.
press: [lf the year 1863 has left behind it
shameful traces of egotism' and dieoords, the new is
inaugurated by other promises. In the agitation of
oppressed peoples; in the fears of despotism which
feigns to row to right; In tbe Titanic struggles of
Poland, Indomitable And still erect; in the embar
raeament even of diplomacy ; on every side, in fact,
arise the presages of coming events, I am con
vinced that they will decide the safety of Italy,
and will supply the occasion so long desired
of realizing its wishes, if the Liberal element Is
not content with Invoking the morrow, in the inert
expectation of something better, but is ready and
united. "Italian democracy, which includes in itself
all the militant patriotism for the contested unity,
ought to see tbat it is not sufficient to be numerous,
y oung, confident, but it must, above all, be organized
and disciplined. I have not found a better way of
supplying this want than by choosing a phalanx of
Clue friends. And with them I have instituted a
Central Unity Committee. The name defines the
objeot. To reoelve pecuniary aid, to dispose men's
minds to the aocord of sacrifice and duty, all this with
the holy end of the national deliverance, and of fra
ternal assistance to the enslaved provinces on the
longed-for day of battles. Such is ills mandate—lt
has no other. - If the reaction, as tenacious as orafty
in its designs, conspires against the unity of the
country; If the latter is threatened by the er
rors of a Government policy, against which I
have protested, beosuse it has ‘appeared to me
forgetful of the national Interests and will, the
duty- of abnegation becomes more forcibly urgent,
more sacred for the Liberals. . Thus, far from
using In vain and perhaps dangerous agitations
the uncontrolled energy of their patriotism, let
them keep It entire for the days in which the only
means of safety will be the co-opeiation of an good
citizens In the assistance of their brothers oppres
sed by the foreigner. Consequently I Invite the
friends and the existing societies; and all the Italians
who disdain to remain passive [spectators of the
great drama which deoides their existence and their
rights, to group around this one centre, to recognize
its authority, and to regard as mine the Instructions
emanating from this committee, or from its delegatee.
I also invite the Liberal press to lend the aid of pub
licity to the acts of the committee. In the name of
the whole committee and in mine, the deservedly
esteemed citizen Benedetto Calroll will sign the
documents. Such, once more, is the Roman fasces
wbioh I ask of the Italians. May their hearts un
derstand the nature of my intentions.
O. GARIBALDI.
Quite a sharp correspondence has taken plaoe be
tween Mr. Murray, the English minister, and the
Saxon President of Council. The ‘concluding nste
of the aeries Is exceedingly pungent:
M, le MxNrsTierE: Permit me to recall to your re
collection that you alluded to reprehensible conduot
on the part of the German troops, including there
fore the Ssxon troops in Holstein. A reproach of
this kind strikes at military honor, therefore at the
honor of the flsg, and I owe It to the brave armv of
the~King to repel the reproach with energy. You
cite one single fact in its support. If this fact be
correct, which remains to be confirmed, I have no
doubt it will meet with disapproval, although it
would not m any way justify the accusation of con
duct “ contrary to justice.”. It is, nevertheless, my
duty to repeat once more, that when Federal troops
occupy a territory of the Confederation by order of
thq Diet, we cannot recognize the right of any foreign
Government to demand in any quarter an explana
tion of their conduct.
I trust I may hope that, after having laid my last
note before Earl Russell, you will have the kindness
to pursue tbe same course with the communication
I have the honor to address tolyou to-day. _
Receive, &0., BEUST.
The touchiness of the little German duohies as to
points of individual honor has passed into a pro
verb. The advance of the Prussian and Austrian
troops has been retarded by the sensitiveness of the
small governments as to allowing foreign troops to
psss through their territories. Of a Prussian bat
talion, matching through a bit of Hessian territory,
we are told that no sooner were the helmets in
sight than a local officer, attended by a single police
man and by all the boys of Nenndorff, placed him
self at the border ditoh, and indignantly warned
them off. It was in vain the commander of 1,509
# men pleaded a Federal errand; it waa in vain he
begged the minor Cerberus not to' make a fuss about
so insignificant an affair, when he knew he might
save the troops a day’s march in this excessive
cold by giving the necessary permit. Hesße Elec
toral stood to her ooloiß, »Dd refused to come
to terms. At length the opposing parties effected
a compromise, and agreed that the soldiers should
pass through minus their arms, the latter being
loaded on wagons and escorted by the identical
policeman, followed by all the boys.
Apropos ol the Schleswig-Holstein question, the
Berlin correspondence of the London Times contains
the following remarkable story—a new interpreta
tion Of what is meant by “ Federal execution
' An anecdote of Marshal Wrangle has made Ber
lin smile this week. That eccentric old warrior
gave a dinner the other day, and one of the guests
remarked that it was, doubtless, a farewell banquet.
The Marshal acquiesced; he was off to Holstein to
drive away the Federal troops, and then to enter
Schleswig. “ And what,” he was asked, “ will you
do with tbe Prince of Augustenburgl” "I will hang
him,” was the prompt, and, let us hope, jesting re
ply. The illustrious Marshal was advised, if such
were his intentions, to keep them a secret from the
King, lest his Majesty, who is understood to enter
tain a certain feeling of good, will towards Duke
Frederic, should see fit to transfer the oommand of
his troops to an officer who took a less bloodthirsty
view of what ought to be the nature of an execution
in Holstein.
ZFrom the Memorial Diplomatique.]
The visit whioh the Archduke Maximilian and the
Prlneess Charlotte Intend to pay to the Court ol the
Tuilerle*, before they embark to Mexico, la not con
fined to a simple act of courtesy. The deoided in
tention of the future sovereign of Mexico is to pass
several weeks in Paris, in order to come to an un
derstanding with the Emperor of the French on ail
tbe principal questions of internal and foreign poliey
of the new monarohical establishment. "lam anx
ious,” the Archduke is said to have lately observed,
“to acquit as much as lies m my power the debt of
gratitude whioh Mexioo has contracted towards
France; I oannot better do it than by becoming the
most loyal and the most faithful ally of Napoleon
111., of whom, every one knows, I have always been
the most sincere admirer.”
La France says: ” The Archduke Maximilian will
come to Paris in February with the title of Empe
ror, and will be received with tbe honors due to that
rank.”

primes’ Correspondence, Jan. 28,3
The freedom of speeeb, and even audacity of these
Germans, is something transaending all belief, 1
have heard them heartily cursing the Danes in the
very hearing of Banish soldiers —a fact which does,
perhaps, no less honor to the forbearing nature of
the oppressors than to the desperate spirit of the
oppressed. Strange to-say, although the G erman
journals enter freely into every part of Schleswig,
those of Holstein, miserably inoffensive as they
are by their dullness and insipidity, have been for
bidden; but for the rest, not only journals, but all
correspondence, would seem to be allowed to go
freely through tbe post on either side, and I sus
pect the alleged violation of the seoresy of letters
at the Banish post offices rests on no satisfactory
evidence. Public meetings ol more than twenty
persons have been discountenanced, but a “secret”
assemblage of no less than sixty members of
a Schleswig-Holstein UDion war held here last eve
ning without any interference of the well-informed
police. Deputies who have publicly done homage
to the Prince in Kiel live unmolested in Flensbnrg.
Whatever the Germans may'bay, therefore, and
whatever maybe thought of the above-enumerated
grievances, it is difficult to resist the oonviotion that
the Danes have neither the tales nor the arts of a
petty searching tyranny, and that, relying upon the
strength of their arms, they never imposed upon
their Schleswig subjects a heavier yoke than they
were willing to bear themselves. They may have
been wrong in their wish to make the Schles
wigere a part of themselves, and it is difficult to say
to how many new errors one unlucky original blun
der may have led them; but had the Germans given
in to that only point on which It was unluckily so
impossible for them to yield, there would scarcely,
peroapi, have arisen another subject of difference or
complaint between the two raees. There is here an
affiur of nationality, nothing more.
Effect of the Late Disaster In Chili.
By arrival of the steamship Ocean Queen, from
Aspinwall, at New York, on Saturday, we have the
following additional news of the oalamlty at San
tiago, taken from South American papers:
“ On every hand indignation hsa been expressed
at tbe fanaticism of the priesthood, which wss
the cause of *0 horrible a eatastrophe, ana at the
cruel, heartless conduot or those priests connect
ed with the ehurch which was burned. With one
mind the people ol Santiago demanded that tne
building should be razed to the ground, ana uau
not Government issued an order to this eosot,
notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts of the
priests-most certainly the people would have done
the work themselves—and now a struggle goes on
between Driest* and people; the former, if possible,
to reeaintbe power and influence they have lost,
Md the p“ple to assert their own freedom ot
tb S^ lt the voice of the people this first result has
been obtained in an act of the Senate; that hence
forth there are to be no illuminations of churches
and splendid night services, and that proper mea
sures be carried out in all the churches as to proper
construction and sufficient number of doors.
“ While this has been carried, the clergy have ar
ranged the publication of a new newspaper for the
defence of‘religious Interests,’..
“ Another result of this oalamity is the organiza
tion of a fire brigade for Santiago, and.'muoh enthu
siasm has been displayed In this matter. The fire
companies In Valparaiso are tbe most popular of the
social institutions of the city.
“ Two thousand one bundled corpses extracted
THREE CENTS.
from the ‘ Oompanla’ have been registered at the
burial ground; beside* these, a number of single
limb* and pieces of bodies bave been found, and not
a Jew (sudvrer* died afterwards from the effect of
burns and other wounds, so that About two thou
sand five hundred altogether may be safely estima
ted to have perished through the priests’ folly and
imprudence.
“On the 31st December, a similar calamity had
nearly befallen the worshippers In the saa Isidro
Cbureh. One of the numeroua candles on the altar
came in contact with a pot of artificial flowers, and,
although the fire was Immediately extinguished,
there was such a great confusion, rushing to the
doors, falling, and orying, that the service had to be
closed for the night.” '
NOTES OF THE WAR.
The strength of the rebel armies is evidently a
very difficult matter to decipher with accuracy. The
Washington correspondent of the Times asserts that
Lee cannot have at present more than 15,000 men,
the rest of his army having been sent into Tennes
see, On the other hand, an intelligent deserter from
Longstreet’e army, who was closely questioned by
Oeneral Manson, states that 11 there have been no
late reinforcements ot Longitreet, so far as he had
heard, and he had seen none.”
—The late apeeclfof Milner Gibsdb, M. Hi, is re
markable for its staunch friendliness to America.
He said, among other things:
"I am one of those who think that at the com
mencement of this American war many persons too
hastily formed the opinion that It was impossible
the TJnion could be restored. The common saying
was, in man; parts of the country with which I am
acquainted, 1 There is one thing certain, that, what
ever else happens, the-Unlon oannot be restored. 1 I
never came to that conclusion.”
Further, he expressed his firm belief that
“If the slave party in England had borne 'the
same proportion to the rest of the community when
emanoipation'was demanded in'this country which
they bore in the United States at the commence
ment of the civil war, it Is very probable yon would
cot bave been able to get through your emancipa
tion In this country without a resort to arms; or,
perhaps, to tbe secession of your slave countries to
some other slave country where there would have
been a greater affinity to themselves. [Hear.] How,
it is remaikable what is going on at the present mo
ment in the Horth, notwithstanding this tremendous
pressure upon their resources, whioh, no doubt, will
raise a very large debt, but whioh debt, I believe,
that country will, with Its growing population and
its vast means, be enabled to bear.”
—According to a Western informant, the history
of Gen. Schofield being ordered to command In Hast
Tennessee la as follows: General Foster’s health
being preoaiious, General Grant deemed It impru
dent to retain him In East Tennessee, and so stated
to the President. About this time the Schofield
question was pending, and instead of being ordered
to take command in East Tennessee, Schofield was
oidered to report to Grant, He found Grant in st.
Louis on Tuesday, and reported accordingly. Grant
thereupon issued an order transferring Sohofield to
the command of East Tennessee.
Field orders Ho. 13, from headquarters at Chat
tanooga, lead that
“Leave of absence ror thirty days is granted to
Captain John Wilson, Company C, Bth Kentuoky
Volunteer Infantry, for gallant and heroic conduct
on tbe morning of the 25th day of Hovember, 1863,
at the battle of Chattanooga, in advancing with five
enlisted men and placing tbe oolors of the Bth Ken
tucky Infantry on the peak of Lookout Mountain,
in the face of the enemy.”
The Metropolitan Club, of Washington, gave
an entertainment on Saturday evening. Among the
alter-dinner speeches was a brilliant one by Reverdy
Johnson, who declared slavery to be hell-born, and
that the Consitution should be so amended as to
prohibit it forever.
An aeutely-sensiblelady of Hew York observes,
that of the births taking place In that city, those
which occur in families whose attachment to ths
Union is decided and zealous, are mostly boys,
while in families In which there is a decided sympa
thy for the secession cause, they are girls. It has
often been said, that in countries wasted by long
wars, whioh carry off the male population, the male
births largely predominate.
The eminent Boston ship-builder, Donald Mc-
Kay, warmly defends Chief Engineer Isherwood,
of the Havy Department. He' says that Mr. Isher
wood, although not a machinist by trade, (“land I
do not think it necessary that a man must file and
hammer iron for seven years to be a good engineer,)
is a man of extensive engineering experience, un
derstanding the working of metals, and a sound,
clear-headed thinker,” of whom both Americanand
English engineers bave a very high opinion. “ Ad
mitting the Department have made some mistakes
(and what engineer, ship-builder, or manufacturer
has notl), yet, on the whole, they have turned out
the finest naval steamers of their olass in the world?"
We are now building In our dock-yards a class of
wooden cruising ships that, In my opinion, after a
careful examination, will excel In speed and sea
going qualities any steamers ever produced by any
nation.”
A Board of Engineers, consisting of Generals
Barnard, G. W. Cullum, Lieut. Colonel Alexander,
and one other officer, is now in session, for the pur
pose of thoroughly revising the system of sea-coast
fortifications, in view of the new system of ordnanee
and the new means of attack by iron-olad vessels.
This is one of the most Important boards of the war,
and its report will be looked far with interest by mill--
tary men of all countries. In every respect the system
of army organization, as one of the exact sciences,
is becoming understood, and before another year our
army, lately a heterogeneous assemblage of an army
oi gallant but undisciplined citizens, will be the
model army of the world, with Its laws and organl.
zationa looked up to as the standard result of the
vastest military experience.
—Of General McClellan's report, the Cincinnati
Gazette speaks in no smooth terms: “It it the
whimpering plea of a lubberly lout, aocuclng others
of the nuisanoes in whioh he haa been defeated. It
is no military report. No such dooument ever ema
nated from a soldier. And it i> false as a military
history.”
—The address of the Free-State Convention of
Arkansas concludes as follows:
“We call upon every oitlzen, then, who is now
willing to take the oath contained In the proclama
tion of the President of December 8,1863, and who
believes secession to have been unauthorized under
the Federal Constitution, or that the experiment
for real or supposed grievances is a failure, or who
wishes to sustain the right of the people to make
their governments, either by tbeir. own direct voice,
or by their representatives chosen for that purpose,
to be at the polls on the l-ltti day of JMarch next and
vote for the Constitution we present; that is. If it is
such a government as they desire to erect and main
tain, to relieve them from anarchy, destruction,
robbery, and murder, and secure a return to pease
and prosperity.”
—The Free. State Convention of laouitiana is
gathering some disrepute. Ihe Timer correspondent
writes:
•‘I am sorry to say that evidences are already be
ginning to multiply of an organized attempt to con
vert the Free-State Convention—a body hitherto
supposed to embrace all the concentrated loyalty of
the State of Louisiana—into a packed organization
for carrying out the objeots of mere poiitieal gam
blers. Many names of great prominence among that
body are those of highly honorable men who would
not, under any circumstances, bend themselves to
the dirty work of party politics; but others again,
loudest among the loudest in spread-esgle devotion
to the Goddess of Liberty, arebeginning to show a
somewhat suspicious hankering alter the loaves and
Ashes.”
“ Captsin J. M. Streetman, 56 th Georgia Begl
ment,” is out in a card, urging his fellow-soldiers to
desert. His reason fpr this is, that “ the rebellion
must finally fail; better that it ehould do so soon
and before the last poor fellow in the ranks is sacri
ficed to gratify the obstinacy and pride of the rebel
leaders, who intend in the last extremity to save
themselves by dying to a foreign country, which you
cannot do, for the want of the means of living
there.”
The New York Times says that we,of all nations,
keep, feed, and clothe tens of thousanda of prisoners
of wsr in idleness. European nations do not do so.
They generally put their prisoners, when their num
bers become large, upon the public works. Napo
leon constructed the oansl St. Quentin with his
Prussian prisoners of war, and Napoleon 111. sent
the Austrian prisoners tsken in his Italian cam
paign to Algeria, and hired them out to colonists.
And upon this the Times sake: “ Why should not
we do the like with the co,ooo rebel prisoners now
resting and fattening In idleness! It argues that,
with such a force of labor as this, the Illinois and
Mlehigan ship canal, and the. Niagara ship canal
could be instantly dug, linking all the Northern
Statei together In a very short time.
The following significant notice appears as an
advertisement in the Charleston Courier of January
20th:
•‘To the citizens of Charleston,—By order of his
Honor the Mayor; All persons owning and occupying
buildings in the range of the enemy’s shells are or
dered immediately to have removed all papers, com
bustible material, So., contained therein. The no.
tice particularly pertains to banks, insurance, print
ing, and law offices, as also the custom house. Our
citizens will see the necessity of thie stringent order,
and it is to be hoped that it will be cheerfully aou
promptly attended to, ae it is the interest of those
concerned as well as the public authorities.”
Colonel S. M. Bowman, of the colored officers’
examining board, has inspeetad the three negro re
giments that General Bimey has recruited in Lower
Maryland—the 7th, 9th, and 19th United states Co
lored. He represents that every one of these troops
was a slave—that not one can read or write—bat
that all ate learning their soldierly duties with re
markable quickness. Such good care has been tsken
Of them by General Birney, that out ot the 3,000 only
150 have got siok in the late trying weather.
Still another writer assures us of the horrible
indignities practised on our dead at|Uhlckimagua.
Revisiting the field, thie correspondent says, at date
of the 29th nit: ... . .
“ The only Federal grave marked wss with a flat
ftw beads severed from the bodtei, but
whether the worlc was done by the enemy, or vu
the remit of decomposition it vu impossible to de»

An army correspondent recently encountered a
rough specimen of Georgia. u My good friend,” I
eaid to him,. “do you think this fine weather will
continue!
"I guess not,” he replies, “it gene’ly rains »U
Febuwary, and in March and April it most ailors

Art Matters—Gustave Dore.
Art-iovers in Philadelphia have already some ao
ousLdlasoe with the works of Gustave Dore, at
this moment the most conspicuous and formidable
genius in art. His illustrations of Dsute and the
French Fairy Tales place him among the richest
creators the world has known. He ha* even equalled
the immense conceptions of the Inferno, and com
pleted the poem which allegorizes all the agony of
the world. It is difficult to restrain enthusiasm for
a genius so marvellous, which, in its many humors,
znooiis, ami ideas, has a prolific versatility not un
like Shaksoeare’c. Dore hu been styled the Dumas
of French art, but nothing less than to oall him the
Victor Hugo of art cm describe the limner who
wrest* such titanto lire from such prodigious shadow.
We are ready to agree with what a Frenoh oritio say*
of him : “Gustave Paul Dore is a great and marvel
lous genius—a poet suoh as a nation produces onoe
In a thousand years. He is the most imaginative,
tbe profoundeat, the most productive poet that bee
ever apiung irom the Frenoh race,”
We make this prefaoe to a notice of some new
products of the mind of Dove, whioh the art com
munity of Hew York are admiring. These are his
illustrations to “Don Quixote,” whioh hehss just
finished to begin the illustration of the Bible, As
we shall have these illustrations In Philadelphia
before long, a description In advance by the critic
of the Hew York Commtrcial Advertiser will not be
Uninteresting:
In two magnificent folios pore has given us the
very form snd pressure of the great Spaniard’s rich,
and wise, end noble genius. He has evoked Sanoho
Penza from the limbo large and wide in whioh
the uncouth body of that marvelous squire lay
snoring, and bids him renew his painful pil
grim age,..Aidoi?g the mountains of Castile, and
the pr(unless remonstrances of his simple com
mon a-uSS with the magnanimous lunacy of
tua high-hearted master. That the hand whlsh
has so often 1 thrown wide the doors of visible
inflnliy, and given to the most vast and awfUl
conceptions *f Dante ample space and verge eneugh,
bas filled' tbeße later pages with landscapes of ex
traordinary breadth and power, we need hardly say.
Dore’s treatment of mountain scenery is particu
larly noticeable in the “ Don Qulchotte." There
aiejtwo voices or awe as well as of liberty. “Ona
is of tbe mountains; one is of the sea.” Dore had
uttered the latter voice in his "Wandering Jew“
and bis “Inferno;" he utters the former here, and
with an equal power. To bis conception of the
“Knight of La Mancha ” alone mußt we take some
exceptions. The physically grotesque, and the men
tally eccentric, in the hero of Cervantes, be has
given us, indeed; but we look in vain for that moral
nobility of which Don Quixote is one of the loft
lest types in literature, and which Gustave Dors
has shown himself quite ospable of comprehending
and of embodying in his visions of Virgil and
Dante. In hit treatment of the simply ludicrous,
success in which is really determined more by the
force of the fancy than by that of any other attri
bute of artistic genius, Dore is as easily triumphant
in his “Don Quiobotte” AS those Who knew his ex
quisite illustrations of fairy tales, and the wealth
he poors into his popular “Album,” oan imagine
him to be.
Flobbuox, beautiful as it is, will soon be fur
ther beautified by the erection of statues to. Dante
and Savonarola. The great poet is buried at Ea-
“ Ungrateful Florence! Dante sleeps ator,
Like Sciplo, buried by the upbraiding sea.”
Bat his monument will rescue Florence from this
reproach. The sculptor is Signor Fazzi, and the
model of the marble eolossus that is to be repre
sents the poet standing clothed In his well-known
attire, the face being a few years older than that
of the fresco of the Bargello, but resembling u
strongly, and really very beautiful. The monument
to the schismatic priest Savonarola—a character re
vivified to us now through Miss Evans’ “Horn Ola”
will alas be by Fazzi. The model statue, alst? by
Signor Fazzi, represents Savonarola in his monk's
dress and tonsured head, holding out a crucifix wltk
one hand, and with the other extended upward, as
Id his famous exclamation, “ This is your King {'*
The Btatue will probably be erected In the Piasza
della Signoria, the place of Savonarola’s mar
tyrdom.
Amuhican composers have, with those of other

Thb Kino id Thule.—The performance of Goa
•nod’s opera of “Faust,” in New York, has attracted
to print many versions of Goethe’s sublime ballad,
“ Eis was ein Koenig in Thule.” These renderings
are generally Intelligent, but are for tbe greater part
defective in rythm and music. Some plainly evi
dence that the interpreters lack the first essential
in translation of the kind—appreciation of tbe mu
sical idea of song. As “ Faust” may soon be repro
duced in Philadelphia, we have pleasure in present
ing another version of “The King in Thule,” a
translation, perhaps, without fault,, and certainly
' the best we have ever seen of Goethe’s poem, “ Der
Koenig in Thule” has received musical homage from
a number of grest composers, but the music of
Schubert is the only instance, we believe, in whioh
the author’s conception hss been equalled. That
music inspired the present trsnslation by Mr. John
A. Dorgsn, of this city, a poet known to the publia
through a remarkable volume of “Studies,!! pub-'
Ilshed here some time ago.
THE KING IN THULE.
There was once a King in Thule.
Faithful unto the grave,
To whom hie dying sweetheart
A golden goblet gave.
Of all his treasures, dearest
That beaker did he prize $
Ever he sighed as he quaffed it,
And teare stood in his eyes.
And now, when nigh unto dying, ’
Hie cities he reckoned up,
And gave to eaoh heir his portion,
But kept the golden cup.
And there at the regal banquet,
As, midst his knights stood he,
In the hall or hla high forefathers,
In his castle by the sea.
Up rose that grand old toper,
Cried, “ Good bye, love and Wine!”
Then threw the holy chalice
Far out Into the brine.
He saw It falling, filling.
And linking deep in the lea,
And, gazing, bis eyei grew heavy,—
Never again drank he.
PERSONAL,.
The French Admiral Hamelin, whose death Is
announced, will be well remembered as the coadju
tor of Admiral Deam Dundai in the Black Sea du
ring the Crimean war. This distinguished naval
officer was bora sept. 2,1796. He was the nephew
of Admiral Baron Hamelin, a sailor who saw much
service under the First Empire. The memorable
landing of the French troops previous to the bsttle
of the Alma was enacted under bis direction. Du
ring the attack on Sebastopol forts of the 17th of
October, a shell struck the quarter-deck of the Villa
Fails, and killed Lieut. Sommelier by Admiral'
Hamelln’i side. He himself was knocked down by
tbe shock. He rose and continued to command hie
vessel amidst a storm of Russian projectiles. His
eonduot on that day was rewarded by bis promotion
to the rank of a full admiral. On the death of M.
Ducos, he was appointed Minister or Marine, whlah
office he held rrom 1855 to iB6O, when be retired to
the snug and honorable post d# Grand Chancellor of
tbe Leglonof Honor. The Emperor has ordered that
he should be burled in the Invalides.
Mr. Thurlow Weed states that Governor Fish,
In a recent conversation, suggested ft difficulty whioh
would naturally grow out or the restoration of the
Union. The citizens of the South, unlike those
of the North, will not be creditors of the go
vernment, and neither their personal interest nor
their sectional prejudices will favor the payment of
the War debt. They will be likely to vote in a solid
mass against taxes for -that purpose; and there is
dosgtr that financial distress and the pressure of
publlo burdens may procure them allies enough in
other parts of the Union to precipitate the country
into repudiation and dishonor. To avoid this, he
urges the repeal of the homestead law, aid that the
whole public domain be made to contribute to the
natlonel treasury.
The renowned Eigolboche, whose presence had
left a taint upon the very atmosphere of Paris life,
hss just married a diplomate of some reputation
and experience amongst the Geman courts. The
union has been so sudden as '.o take all by sur
prise. At a supper given at the Maison-Dorde a
short time ago, the hats of the gentleman, being
bung upon the gilt hooks round the supper-room,
became rather difficult to attain by men of small
atature after muoh champagne, the diplomate,
uniting both conditions, was found struggling by
Rigolboohe in the vain endeavor to reach his hat,
! when, with the true inspiration of genius, she pi
rouetted for a moment before the wall, then bounded
high in the air, and brought down the obieot with
her foot, to the great admiration and delight of the
diplomate, who, being new in Paris, had never be
fore beheld the like,
Lieutenant George Wallaok, a nephew of the
veteran Wallaok, died of dlptheria last week at
the residence of J. W. Wallaok, Jr., at Deal, Long
Branch. Like most of the members of his family,
he was an actor by profusion, but had been ror
tome time in our Western army, where be was a
most enterprising and useful scout. He was but
twenty-four years old at the lime of hie death, and
leaves a young widow, a daughter of ex-Governor
Shelby, of Kentucky.
The London correspondent of the Tribune speaks
rather Irreverently of the editor of the Times:
“The Individual alluded to is as arrant a flunkey
