DENIS-THE TOMB OF NAPOLEON BO
NAPORTE-CHAMPS ELYREE-THE CA.
SING. ETC., ETC.
Special Correspondence of the Patriot and Union.
Pasts; Jima 17th, 1868.
Tho young Diet of Harrisburg who are anx
ious to escape the draft. will naturally inqUire,
what shall - - do in Sundal when we have
tikid_tql led' ) t o Piris. It is not' a view
to the gratification of those, but simply to re
mind your olivistian readers of the behavior
of 'the - outdid& and, ' therefore, heathenish
world, that I enter in brief upon the expert
ehoes of a Sabbath' in Paris.
You awake at or after—probably after—the
usual hour, say nine o'clock. You have been
awakened by the somewhat demonstrative
courtship of elate in eft *boot yew Window, and
your first movement is to hurl a bootjack at
your comrade. Having begged his pardon and
dressed, you cross the Seine from the Latin
Quarter, and take an omnibus at the "Bourse."
The latter i 3 a building composed mainly of
pillars. Money transactions take place within
it, and it is the Wall street of France. As you
go toward the Chemin dsfer du Nord, yoo muse
upon the instability of human-appetite. A few
moons ago you could not walk to the , corner
without your breakfast, but at present you ex
pece to get your defunct* at St. Denis, several
miles away, and feel no doubt about your abil
ity to hold out. The Chemin de fer du Nord's
ie a magnificent depot, built of white free
stone, and dotted with statues, allegori
cal to a bewildering degree. It Will
be, when completed, the ,finest railway
house in the world, and larger than any pal
ace in Europe. Railway is a potent king.
Within you - seek the " intepreter," known by
that word being stamped upon his hat, and it
is astonishing how many languages he knows
badly. He will direct you in the politest En
glieb, and epeak Spapish to another man at .
your elbow, whom you thought to be deat and
dumb by the motions he made. As he probably
had the same opinion of you, both can be chari
table. The "Interpreter" conveys the idea that
you are to keep your eye upon a certain hole till
the slide is withdrawn, *ten you are to go in
immediately—and be floored. Beware of be
ing oat of line. Those cavalrymen—Heaven
knows what police duty Cavalrymen can do here,
except to overtake the ttain!--those cavalrymen
are here with the especial purpose of seeing that
you wait your turn. Otherwise they will turn
you out. You get in line; therefore, and come
to the ticket 'office with 'less than a thobsand
people upon your heels, and say "Saint Denis."
The ticket man looks in blank astonishment:
He never heard of such a place in his lifee
But by poking a piece 'of paper, ao laisciabed,
toward him, he,cemerisaerids yon, , arid-replies
**Waft Neste" ' You reach the twit atter a
• idle; A r nie geefr-ern5 6 0 4 414..
totite siairit,' tinder . a tunnel, and' . tip efiiiris
again to the town level. You behold a paltry
town of, say five*„thousand . inhabitant s,--the
houses low, the site flat, marshes upot one
side, and an oozy canal in the middle—Mid
you see above the general demureness an old,
cross-shaped church, looking greyly skyward
and stretching up a palmy, wrinkled tower.
While you breakfast at the cafe opposite, you
remark said church and think over its assoCia
tions. It has been the burial place of the,
kings of France from the time of Dagobert,
who lived in the sixth century, to the yester
day of Louis•XVIII. Formerly it was a state
ly abbey, and it has been "restored"—a word
which generally means, ruined. See from your
window the chime of bells hung away up in
the air, to be tapped by the rain-drops. Now
and then they strike, to the awakening of the
multitude of song birds whose nests the good
architect cut in the beginning in the stone
tableaux over the arches. They lure the
birds to them in this way, and their grimy
edifices are always vocal with the grateful
melodists. Down' the steps of the church come
Sundry people—here a priest, with a book un
der his arm, to whom the cripples and the
very old women bow reverently—here a nun
or a sister of charityln a hood of virginal
white and a face worn with thought and trial—
here a long procession of girls , and urchins,
unruly in France ati in Pennsylvania, mimick
ing and dancing as they file off bareheaded.
There comes a mighty crowd at length, whose
mission you can ill determine. Slow to pain
fulness, reverent to wonder, grotesqUe but
stately—see the grenadiers in front with fixed
bayonets, the chasseura behind uncovered, the
hundred and one little children robed in white
who strew rose* and sing. Four priests hurl
four brazen - censers forever aloft; under a
gilded canopy walk grave ministers in sacer
dotal garb, reading as they advance, and be•
hind follow the villagers uncovered. The
streets down which they pace are bountifully.
wreathed. This, an old man tells yoit, is the
Fete Dieu, or Festival of God.
You stand in the abbey of St. Denis. A very
large and uniformed person, whose nose looks
like a red nutmeg grater, and who walks goo
tily, commences his description by hinting that

Half of these were 'broken by the Jacobins, at
the time when , they upset the coffins of the
kings, strewing all the neighboring ditches
with their skulls. These skulls were collected
by. Bonaparte and Louis XVIII, who thought
fit, in commemoration thereof, to have the deed
painted in stained glass, to the disfigurement
of the transept. Half of the adornments rep

the relics of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.
Beyond you is the tomb of Catharine de Medicis,
beneath the marble sarcophagus of Cherie
magne,and lines of kingly monuments. St. Denis
does not compare in any of these respects with
Westminster Abbey. The tombs are not nearly
so fine, the restoration is better, but the original
edifice was paltry compared with the fine old
fane of England. There are many churches of
France to which St. Denis would scarcely make
&worthy chapel. You hear a mass or two, if
you like, and take a voiture for Vincennes.
It is a great donjon, standing firm as a
mountain in a level - field, with a modern for
tress around it, and a far forest encircling all.
Its gateway is equally old, and, is itself, e
respectable castle, with a - finely preserved feu

bottle of Strausbourg beer from the plump, glib
little hostess, and tendering a mug thereof to

groove and angle standing out so greyly, as
if finished yesterday. See the barred window
of each turret., the grated gallery without, and
the deep moat below. Seventeen feet in thick

hearts used to do. A century and a half be

bloody orgies, straining the sinews and crack

neath, and all these oaks and locusts that fling
their shade upon you, were hideous with the
corpses of his victims. They swung in chains
to feed the crows and kites and underneath lay
pits ancl4oan-traps to catch and rend intru
ders. Here fled the Ninth Charles remorseful,
with the sheeted spectres of Saint B.atthole
mew, to strangle his prayers at the lips: The
good Prince of. Conde and fiery Mirobeau lay
here unhappy, the fifth Henry of England
expired 'within its precincts,, and the poor
Duke D'Enghein „was carried here to fall by
the hands of NaVoleon Bonaparte. Is not
this alone worth all the voyage to Ftance ?

' The day has been well spent for my Dauphin
friend. He has seen too much to recollect any
thing well, and may be allowed to dine. By
this time he has tired of the Palais Royale din
ners, as they lead to dyspepsia and there are
too many radishes, castors and spoons for the
quantity of viands, Ile therefore goes to Dut•
vale—a butcher worthy of the days of the
guillotine, who slays his hundreds of cattle
weekly, and having messed substantially,
if not ornamentally, saunters across to the
Tuileries garden, where there are thousands
of people. If you wish to sit and smoke there
are arm chairs for a sons, or you can look at
these fine old statues, gathered from the cin
ders of Rome and Athens—as beautiful and as
unveiled as the ancient's could shape them :--
here a Prometheus prone, with the horrible
vulture satiated at his side, and his eyes turned
in unutterable despair to the sparkle of the
fountain near by ; there a Spartacus nude,
with buckler and blade, glaring defiance at the
abashed young woman who looked up at him
*tad wishes she hadn't. So you go through
the pleasant shade trees, where the boys are
playing prisoner's base, and across the Place
de la Concorde, where now towers the mottled
obelisk of Luxor, but where once stood the
reeking guillotine which cut off the head of a
Queen and a King. The world has shed many
tears over said Queen and King, though I could
never discover that they did much for which
we should regret them, and it is very certain
that every body so decapitated in the French
Revolution was not a saint. But here at last
is the Champs Elysee with the Arabs de Triomphe
standing at the head of the hill, and the pleas
antly wooded fields on either aide, with the
cream-colored palace of the Permanent Exhi
bition to the lett, and the avenue in front, filled
with stylish equipages. Shows of all kinds
are going on here ; music as of invisible armies
overhead is throbbing and sobbing; yonder is
Mr. Punch murdering Judy, and here a cafe
concert, where five peerless creatures sing ex
cruciatingly. All 'about you are laughable
things, and you can scatter the eons if you like
in fifty directions, but they will be sure to fall
to some mountebank. Everybody is drinking,
jesting, smoking, and laughing. Soldiers of
all conceivable costumes wind in and out, and
when' the' darkness clOses in, and soft lamps
are set like pearls amid the flowers and arbors,
the Ominous call up their cheerful sinners, and
the dances are of a kind that would speedily
shock one-half of your population and amaze
the other half. To describe them is not the
province of this modest Pharisee, though he
will admit that such acrobatio feats were never
perpetrated by ladies before. Gracefel they
are, passionate beyond poetry, and poetical
beyond measure. The violins draw ones heart
to his ears and the mistiness drive it back again,
pulsing and throbbing, till the blood gushes in
a purple rill to the cheeks and temples, the
eyes shine like maniacy, the feet slip and leap,
and the whole man iS the creature of the dance,
as mastered by some wild magnetism. So

The following articles- from the New York
Journal of Commerce will strike every sensible,
considerate man. They are sound and at this
time precisely to the point :
Tar. New Comminnia.—The removal of Gen.
Hooker from the oonimand of the Army - of the
Potomac "at his own request," was not with
out good and immediate (mufti The neeoloity
for•the step was only too insnifest to- those Who
were aware of the Taos. Unusual ad Sal a
step is in the midst of such important move
ments, in the present case it would have been
criminal, under the circumstances, for the ad
ministration longer to withhold the order ; and
the only regret in connection with the matter
is that a was delayed so long.
Gen. Meade enters on his position under cir
cumstances of the , most painful responsibility,
and is therefore entitled to, as he doubtless
receives, the sympathy as well as the prayers
of the whole people. His duty is like that
which devolved on Gen. M'Clellan a year ago,
when recalled to command the army for the de
fence of the capital. Hooker has permitted
the enemy to gain every advantage of position,
and to riot for a long time in the richness of
Southern Pennsylvania. He doubtless leads a
s pi r it e d, well fed and comfortable host. They
move on as if to the certainty of victory. tin
der these circumstances, if Gen. Meade fails,
he will by no means deserve censure or loss of
confidence, for he is now called to do a work
which will task every energy, every nerve, and
in which we CM only hope that he will do his
duty, and we must leave the rest to a higher
power than men can control. An evening pa
per, with the most profound blindness to the
true state of affairs, warns him not to do as
M'Clellan did at Antietam. We shall•be con
tent, jubilant, if he will do as much, and send
Zee back with his defeated hosts across the
Potomac. Let us hope for that much. The
hour id one of deep anxiety. The fate of the
nation may hang on the result. It bec omes all
to be earnest, patient and hopeful.
MAKE READY.—There was never an hour
when it became the duty of the people of the
several States to look so closely to the power
of their several State governments as now.—
We have had a great dial of discussion about
Federal and State rights, a vast amount of talk
about 'the independence ofrStates, and the
temptation to reject the doctrine of State sover
eignty hap been very great. - But now, in all
directions, the people of the North are looking
to their State authorities for the protection
from a common enemy which the Federal gov
ernment has failed to afford, and no man is so
rash as to deny the importance as well as the
right of every State to arm itself in view of
the emergency. The Constitution of the Uni
ted States, in conferring the war power on the
General Government; made an express excep
tion. Any State may "make war" in case of
invasion or of imminent danger of invasion.—
This power no one denies. But there is now a
necessity equally within the view of the Con
stitution, not dependent on. this power. The
principle of our government is one of federal
dependence on State action to a great extent.
The true principle on which a volunteer force
is to be raised in this country is the power of
Avea,tiza militia,• to be famished to
- the General Government en call. The Con
scription Bill ignored this principle, and
brought up the question of the power of the
General Government to "raise armies" by com
pelling the service of the citizens directly,
without the intervention of State authority.—
But the pressing nature of the demand created
by the invasion
~of Pennsylvania brought to
view the noble system on which our Constitu
tion Wee founded; and the President called on
the States for militia, and militia sprang at
once to arms on the call of their respective
Governors. AU men now recognize the supe
riority of this system, in every manner in which
it is viewed. Is shows the beautiful machinery
of the American Constitution, working in a
time of great peril, and working to the purpose.
It raises no questions of right, since all ac
knowledge the duty and the way in which it is
demanded.
know becomes us to be ready for a still fur
ther demand. The State of New York ought
to be fully ready for any event. We should
have our entire militia disciplined, drilled and
armed without delay. Every man should do
his duty as a member of the military force of
his State, ready to take arms at the proper
moment, or ready to harslet' 4 filabistitete and
to show him how to do the work required. We
trust that the militia of the State will be thor
oughly organized at once, with as little delay
as possible, and that New York may stand
ready as a sovereign State, either to make war
on her own account, if that should be, by a
remote contingency, made necessary, or to an
swer any cello that •may be made on her on be
half of her sister States. Gov. Seymour has
done nobly in sustaining the honor and exhibi
ting the power of the Empire State. She is
the Empire State, and the dependence of the
whole Union is greatly on her and on her ex
ample.
THE PROSPEETE.—We have never known, so
soon after a coni , ention, so good a feeling to
prevail among the Democracy as has followed
the action of our State Convention.. The
names of Woodward and Lowrie have struck a
sympathetic chord in the popular heart. and
from every quarter of the State comes up one
universal exclamation of satisfaction. Even
the opposition press have been
. awed almost
into silence by the high character of the Demo
emetic candidates and the conviction that has
already settled upon them of their undoubted
success. The people see in the nomination of
Judge Woodward for Governor a return to the
purer days of the Republic. For years past
we have been accustomed to witness strife and
contention among politicians for the spoils of
office, preceding a nomination.; bat in the
present instance, the office sought Mite man
among the purest, the most distinguished and
most worthy in the State. The wise selection
of the Convention, therefore, gives assurance
that public confidence has not been. isplaced,
With Judge Woodward in the Executive chair,
public virtue will have an adi , ocate and sup
port. The people know this, and hence they
are rallying to his support with a unanimity
we have rarely ever witnessed. Wegive else
where extracts from several of our exchanges
to 'show how the nomination is regarded in
other quarters of the State. We might fill
our entire columns with these expressions of
the Democratic press, but want of room com
pels us to give but a few at a time.—Lux. Union.

sound Black Republican until quite recently

country was overrun with government officiate.
