BACHE,
Destruction of tlie Inquisition In
In 1809, Col. Lohmanowsky was atlached
to that part of Napoleon’s army whicli was
stationed in Madrid. “While in this city,”
said Col. L. “ I used to speak freely among
the people about the priests and Jesuits, and
of ihc Inquisition.” It had been decreed by
the Emperor Napoleon that the Inquisition
and Monasteries should be suppressed; but
the decree, like some of ihe laws enacted in
ihis country, was not yet executed. Months
had passed away, but the prisons oC the In
quisilion were still unopened. One night
about 10 or 11 o’clock, as Col. L. was walk
ing ihe streets of Madrid, two armed men
sprang upon him from an alley, and made a
furious aiiack. lie instantly drew his sword,
pul himself in ai position of defence, and
while struggling with them, saw at a distance
the lights of the patrols,—French soldiers
mounted, who carried lanterns, and rode
through the streets of the city at all hours of
tlie night, to preserve order. He called to
them in French, and, as they haslened to his
assistance, the assailants took to their heels
and escaped, not, however, before ho saw by
their dress that they belonged to the guards
of the Inquisition.
The Colonel went immedialely to Marshal
Soult, then Governor of Madrid, told him
what had taken place, and reminded him of
the decree to suppress this institution. Mar
shal Soult replied, that he. might go and de
stroy it. Col. L. told him that his regiment
(the ninth of Polish lancers) was not sufficient
lor such a service, but if he would give him
an additional regiment—the 117lh, he would
undertake the work. The 117lh regiment
was under ihe command of Colonel De Lilo,
who is now, like Col. L., a minister of the
Gospel, and pastor of an Evangelical church
in Marseille, France. “ The troops required
were granted, and I proceeded (said Col. L.)
to the Inquisition, which was situated about
five miles from the city. It was surrounded
by a wall of great strength, and defended by
a company of soldiers. When we arrived at
the walls, I addressed one of the sentinels,
and summoned the holy fnihers to surrender
to the imperial army,4tnd open the gates of
the Inquisition. The sentinel, who was
standing on the wall, appeared to enter into
conversation for a moment with some one
within, at the close of which he presented his
musket and shot one of mV men. This was
the signal for attach, and I ordered my troops
to fire upon those who appeared upon the
walls.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Spain.
“ It was soon obvious that it was an une
qual warfare. The walls of tho Inquisition
were covered with the soldiers of the holy
offifce; there was also a breast-work upon
the wall, behind which they but partially ex*
posed themselves os they discharged their
muskets. Our troops were in the open plain,
and exposed to a destructive fire. We had
no cannon, nor could we scale the walls, and
tho gates successfully resisted oil attempts at
forcing them. I could not retire and send
for cannon to break through the walls with
out giving them time to lay a train io blow
us up. Isaw'thal it was necessary to change
"the mode of attack, and t directed some trees
to be cut down and trimmed, to. be used as
battering rams. Two of these were taken
up 'by detachments of men, as numerous ns
could work to advantage, and brought to
bear upon the walls with all the power'which
they cotild exert, while the troops kept up a
fire to protect,them from the Art poured up*
on them from the walls, Presently the walls
began to tremble, a breach waw : made, and

the imperial troops-rushed into the Inquisi
tion. Here we met with an incident which
nothing hut Jesuialical effrontery is equal to.
The inquisitor-general, followed by the father
confessors in their priestly robes, all came
out of their rooms, as we were making our
way into the interior of the Inquisition, and
with long faces, and their arms crossed over
their breasts, their lingers resting on their
shoulders, as though they bad been deaf to
all the noise of the attack and defence, and
had just learned what was going on, they ad
dressed themselves in the language of rebuke
to their own soldiers, saying, “ Why do you
fght our friends the French f”
“ Their intention, no doubt, was to make
us think that this defence was wholly unau
thorized by them, hoping if they could make
us believe that they were friendly, they should
have a better opportunity, in the confusion of
the moment, to escape. Their artifice was
too shallow, and did not succeed. I caused
them to be placed under guard, and all the
soldiers of the Inquisition to be secured as
prisoners. We then proceeded to examine
all the rooms of the stately edifice. We
passed through room after room; found all
perfectly in order, richly furnished, with al
tars and crucifixes, and wax candles, in
abundance, but could discover no evidences
of iniquity being practiced there, —nothing of
those peculiar features which we expected to
find in an Inquisition. We found splendid
paintings, and a rich and extensive library.
Here was beauty and splendor, and the most
perfect order on which my eyes had ever
rested. The architecture—the proportions
were perfect. The ceiling and doors of wood
were scoured and highly polished. The
marble pavements were arranged with a
strict regard to order. There was every
thing to please the eye and gratify a cultiva
ted taste j but where were those horrid in
struments of torture of which we had been
told,, and where those dungeons in which hit
man beings were said to be hurried allive 7-
We searched in vain. The holy father as
sured us that they had been belied; that we
had seen all; and I was prepared to give up
the search, convinced that this Inquisition
was different from others of which I had
heard.
“ But Col. De Lile was not so ready as.
myself to relinquish our investigation, and
said to me, “ Colonel, you are commander
to-day, and as you say, so it must be; but if
you will be advised by me, let this marble
floor be examined.' Let water be brought
and poured upon it, and we will watch and
see if there is any place through which it
passes more freely than others."’-I replied
to him, “ Do as you please, Colonel,” and
ordered water to bo brought accordingly.
The slabs of marble were large and beauti
fully polished. When the water had been
.poured dver the floor, much to the dissatis
faction of the Inquisitors, a careful examina
tion was made of every seam in the floor, to
see if the water passed through. Presently
Col. De Lile exclaimed that he had found it.
By the side of one of these marble slabs the
water passed through fast, as though there
was an opening beneath. All hands were
now at work for further discovery; the offi
cers with their swords, and the soldiers with
their bayonets, seeking to clear out the seam
and pry up the slab; others with the butts of
their muskets striking the slab with all their
might to break it, while the priests remon
strated against our desecrating their holy and
beautiful house. While thus engaged, a sol
dier, who was striking with the bull of his
musket, struck a spring, and the marble slab
flew up. Then the faces of the inquisitors
grew pale as Belshazzar, when the hand
writing appeared on the wall; they trembled
all over. Beneath the marble slab, now
partly up, there was a stair-case. I stepped
to the altar, and took from the candlestick
one of the candles, four'feet in length, which
was burning, that I might explore the room
below. As I was doing this,' I was arrested
by one of the inquisitors, who laid his hand
gently on my arm, and with a very demure
and sanctimonious look, said, “ My son, you
must not take those lights with your bloody
hands, they are holy.” “ Well,” I said, “ I
will lake a holy thing to shed lighten iniqui
ty ; I will bear the responsibility !” I took
(he candle, and proceeded down the staircase.
As we reached the foot of the stairs we en
tered a large square room, which was called
the Hall of Judgment. In the centre of it
was a huge block, and a chain fastened to it.
On this they had been accustomed to place
the accused, chained to his' seat. On one
side of the room was ab 'elevated seatj_called
the Throne of Judgment;; the Inquisi
tor-T3eneral occupied, and On either aide were
seats less elevated, fob the priestly fathers,
while engaged in the solemn business of the
Holy Inquisition,
“ From this room we proceeded to the
right, and obtained access to small cells, ex
tending the entire length of the edifice; and
here such sights were presented as WO hope
never to see again.
“ These cells were places of solitary con
finement, where the wretched objects of in
quisitorial hate were confined year after year,
till death released (hem from their sufferings,
and there their bodies were suffered to remain
until they were entirely decayed, and the
rooms had become fit for others to occupy.
To prevent this being offensive to those who
occupied the inquisition, there were flues or
tubes extending to the open air, sufficiently
capacious to carry off the order. In these
cells we found the remains of those who had
paid the debt of nature; some of- them had
been dead apparently but a short lime, while
of otheiis 'nothing remained but the bones,
still chained to the floor of their dungeon.
“ In other cells, We found living sufferers

men. add aged women', who had been shut up
for, many years,' Here, too, were the mid
dle-aged, and. the young man and maiden of
fourteen years old. The soldiers immediate
ly' went to work lo' release these captives
from their chains, and took from their knap
sacks their overcoats an|l other clothing,
which they gave them to cover their naked
ness. They were exceedingly anxious lo
bring them out to theiighl of day; but being
aware Of the danger, ! had food given them
and then brought them gradually to the light,
as they were able to hear it. ‘ ’
“We then proceeded to explore another
room on the left. Here we found the instru-j
ments. of torture, of every hind which the
ingenuity of. men 'or devils could invent,”
Col. L. thus describes four of these horrid in
struments : 11 The first was a machine by
which the victim wap secured, and then, be
ginning with the fingers, every joint in the
hands, arms,, and h°dy« was broken, or
drawn, one after another, until the sufferer
died. The second was a box, in which the
tho head and neck of the accused were so
closely screwed that he could not move in
any way. Over the box was a vessel, from
which one drop of Water a second fell upon
the head of the victim —every successive drop
falling upon precisely the same place, which
suspended the circulation in a few moments,
and put the sufferer lo tho most excruciating
agony. The third was an infernal machine,
laid horizontally, lo which the victim was
bound; (his instrument was (hen placed be
tween two beams, in which were scores of
knives, so fixed that, by turning the machine
with a crank, the flesh of the sufferer was
torn from his limbs in small pieces. The
fourth surpassed the others in fiendish inge
nuity. Its exterior was a beautiful wbman,
or large doll, richly dressed, with arms ex
tended, ready to embrace the v ictim. Around
her feet a semicircle was drawn. The vie
lim who passed over this fatal mark touched
a spring, which caused the diabolical engine
to open; its arms clasped him, and a thou-'
sand knives cut him into as many pieces, in
their deadly embrace."
Col. L. said that the sight of these engines
of infernal cruelty, kindled the rage of the
soldiers to fury. They declared that every
inquisitor and soldier of the inquisition should
be pul lo the torture. Their rage was ungo-'
vernable. Col. L. did not oppose them ; they
might have turned their arms against him, if
he had astempted lo arrest their work. They
Jjegan with the holy .fathers. The first they
put to death ia the machine for breaking
joints. The torture Of [he inqqisilor put lo
death by the dropping of water on his head,
was most excruciating. The poor man cried
out in agony to be taken from the fatal ma
chine. TnA Inquisitor-General was brought
before the infernal engine, called “ The Vir
gin.” lie begged to be excused. “No,”
said they, “ you have caused others to kiss
her, and now you must do it.” The inter
locked their bayonets so ns lo form large
forks, and with these pushed him over the
deadly circle. Tho beautiful image instantly
prepared for the embrace, clasped him in its
arm,- and he was cut into innumerable pieces.
Col. L. said (hat he witnessed (he torture of
four of them—his heart sickened at.the aw
ful scene—and he left the soldiers lo wreak
their vengeance on the last guilty inmate of
that prison-house of hell.'
In the meantime it was repotted through
Madrid that the prisons of the Inquisition
were broken open, and mullituds hastened to
the fatal spot. And oh, what a'meeting was
there ! It was like a resurrection ! About
a hundred of those who had been hurried for
many years, were now restored lo life.—
There were fathers who found their long lost
daughters ; wives were restored lo their hus
bands, sisters lo their brothers, and parents
to their children; and there were some that
could recognize no friend among the multi
tude. The scene was such as no tongue can
describe.
When the multitude had retired, Col. L.
■caused the library, paintings, furniture, &c.,
to be removed, and having sent tothe city
for a . wagon-load Of powder* he deposited a
large quantity in the vaults beneath the build
ing, and placed a slow match in connection
with it. All withdrew to a distance, and in
a few moments the assembled multitude be
held a most joyful sight. The walls end
turrets of the massive structure rose majesti
cally toward the heavens, impelled by the
tremendous explosion, and then fell back to
earth a heap of ruins!— N. Y, Leader.

“ Sir you don’t know how to plow.
„ What! me! do you mean 1 don’t know
bow to plow, that have been, man and boy,
fifty yeara following the plow V'
Yea Sir. I mean you, I do not dispute
the length of time you have followed the
plow, but you have never got up to it yet.
You don’t know how to plow.
“ Sir, do you mean to iflsult me T”
Not at all; 1 only, meant to assure you of
the (act.
■ This is a specimen of a conversation wi;h
an old farmer, not a great way from New
York, who fell insulted because we told him
that he did not know how to plow. Let us
see if he did. He was at work upon a piece
of ground that might be termed sandy loam,
ihough it was once a clayey loam, but
all the clay had been washed out of it,
it never had been plowed more than four or
five inches deep in the world, and was bedded
upon a sub-soil of almost pure clay, into
which a sub-soil plow bad never entered, and
which was never turned up by tbe common
plow, because the owner said that would spoil
the land.
“I guess I know, for I have tried it; and
I wouldn’t give a cent for one of your new
fangled plows."
And yet he felt insulted when told that he
did not know how to plow.
11 There seems to be a general impression
that everybody knows how to,plow; that even
the farmer’s boy, or anybody's boy, as soon
as his head gets above the plow-hanSles, in
stinctivly understands the business-«|/ectZy.
Now I hazard the assertion that norojie far
mer or farm-laborer in ten knows how prop
erly to perform this operation.”
Certainly if he only plows four inches
when be might ( plow fourteen, he does not
know how to plow. If he plows all his hill
sides up and down, he does not know how to
plow; for every furrow should bedrawn ab
solutely level.
“ What crooked, long rows or short rows ?
How a field would look I”
Let it look. *You had better look at your
soil in the field than in some brook or river,
floating down to the sea.
" Why such furrows would look like drunk
en men's paths.”
Let them look, so that they are not. If
you know how to plow, you won’t gel drunk,
nor plow your land on purpose to wash away,
because some old granny (ells you that you
must plow straight. Making crooked fpr
rows is not crooked plowing: <hat is, in and
out: sometimes three furrows in one and some
times three leel apart.
If you know how to plow, you never will
plow clay land in a wet time, or when it is
baked so that it will turn up in lumps as hard
as brick-bats.
No good plowman ever plows his head
lands while turning the team. That is work
lo be done after the other part is finished.
- “ When I see a farmer constantly riding
upon his plowhandles, it may not go too
deep, or lilting and pressing forward, to force
it into the ground, or( running it upon the
wing, or land-side, to govern the width of his
furrow, I am led to think he does not under
stand regulating the draft.
If such a man knows how to plow, he don’t
know what a good plow is,or he would get
one.
If a man plows a loose, friable soil in (he
fall, or if he does not plow a stiff clay so as
to let it freeze, it is because he don’t know
how to plow ; for one will blow away in win
ter, and the other will disintegrate and become
friable.
“ Perfect plowing consists in stirring and
thoroughly pulverizing alt the soil to a given
debth. To effect this, the furrows must be
parallel, of even width and depth, and not too
far asunder.”
And the plow must bo odapted to the work
to be done. The idea of a universal plow is
one of the most ridiculous fallacious even ar
gued in favor of by farmers. No man ever
did argue so that knows how to plow. There
is scarcely a farm of a ‘hundred acres that
does not require a dozen different kinds of
plows. A first rale sod plow is not a good
stubble-turning plow : arid neither of them
are fit to plow among corn. A subsoil plow
is absolutely indispensablb’tipon every farm,
and no farmer should be'without a doubte
mold-ooard plow, which he should know how
to use in opening out surface drains through
ovelry field that is not already under-dcaiaed
with tile-drains.
Of all the class of light, chedp plows, lor
working with one horse wo jook upon the old
fashioned shovel plow, made with a steel blade,
and not a clumsy piece of cast-iron, as one of
the most useful plows on a light, easy-wor
kirjg soil. For the last plowing of a fallow
foij wheat, with a quick walking horse, it is
excellent; for plowing for turnips it js first
rale, and for plowing corn it will always be
a favorite implement. I .

The first distinct dale that wc hare in ref
erence to cholera, is, that in the ; rear 1781, it
attacked a body of troops at Gun am, a coast
town, 535 miles north-east of M idras, which
latter place it reoched during.the next year.
In.thp year 1783, it attacked many of the
native Inhabitants of India, and iwenly thou
sand deaths occurred. It then disappeared ;
but in! 1817 it again appeared, and fairly
earned its name as a terrible epicemic disease.
In Jessore (India) ten thousand deaths, in a
population of sixty thousand, took place.
From,lndia irwas supposed to htve been con
veyed by ships to Mauritius, the Dutch East
Indies and China. In 1821 it ( had reached
the Persian Gulf, and continuing its western
progress we find it on the hanks of Tigris—
thence into Caucasia; and L finally, on the
14 th of September, 1630, it reached Moscow.
Taking the course of the gredt rivers, the
Domandthe Volga, the disease rapidly ex
tended itself over Russia. In January, 1832,
the cholera appeared at Edinjburg; on the
14 t|i of February at London ; |and in March
at Dublin, Calais and Paris were also at
tacked in March. ,
The ninth day of June, 1632, will ever be
remembered oo il,o tun. m, uvtn
appeared on (he American .Comment. It ap
pealed at Quebec, where it was also very se
verejin 1849. The first casein NeWYork oc
curred on'the 27 of June of the same year,
and the disease disappeared ißj 'October. It
is estimated that in the fourteen years, from
1817| to 1J331,1 ho disease carried off eighteen
millions of the inhabitants of Hindoatan.
The number of cases in England and Wales
in 1831-2 was 63,236; deaths, 20,726.
In Scotland, 20,502 were attached, of whom
10,650 died. In Ireland there] were 54,552
attacks, ond 21,171 deaths. In the city of
London there were 11,010 cases and 5,275
deaths. The disease.visited Sjtain and Italy
in 1835-’o,and finally disappeared from Eu
rope in 1837-’B. I
The cholera at present has dot risen to the
dignity of an epidemic, and (he calender of
1854 will bear no comparison with those of
1832 and 1849. It first appeared during the
winter of 1853-’4, at Sunderland, England.
It is a remarkable fact that jlhe cholera of
1832 appeared at (he same place. The first
case in New York was reported^early in June,
but there have not been a
of deaths since io excite anything like a panic.
The cholera is now raging all Chicago and
|Monlreal with great violence. It has reached
St. Louis also, probaHygodown the
river to New Orleans.— N. "5, Herald.
