The particulars .of a most remarkable operation, in which Cel. J. Duchanan Cross, the celebrated forger, secured his pardon from the penitentiary by means of papers forged by himself, have just been ventilated by the Philadelphia papers. As follows : On Monday, 2d inst., 11. S. Marshal Millward, of this district, received a letter purporting to come from Mr. P. II. at son, Assistant Secretary of War, enclosing a petition "for the pardon of J. Buchanan Cross, who was serving a term of impris onment in the Eastern Penitentiary for fortrery. The letter set forth that Cross was wanted to be used in special business by the War Department ; that he was to be sent South ; and that his speedy par don was very desirable. The Marshal was directed to obtain the signatures of Dis trict Attorney Coffey, Postmaster Wal born and Collector Thomas to the petition, and take it to Ilarrisburg for the consid eration of Governor Curtin. He was especially enjoined in the letter not to communicate on thc-sul ject with any of the lucal authorities, nor to entrust the business to a subordinate, but to bring Cross to Washington himself. Suspicion of the genuineness of the letter did not enter the mind of the Marshal. lie had a knowledge of the handwriting of the Assistant Secretary of War, which the letter appeared to be iu, and the envelope and paper upon which it was written were the same as are used in the War Depart ment, while the letter itself had come from Washington, under the frank, as supposed, of Mr. Watson. Marshal Millward lost no time in ob taining the signatures of the District At torney and Collector to the petition, as directed, and he would have applied for that of the Postmaster but Mr. Walbcm was not in the city. The same day he set out for Ilarrisburg with the letter and petition, which he laid before the Gover nor on his arrival. lie found that the Governor had received a letter similar to the one he had with him, purporting to j be from the Assistant Secretary of War, and requesting, by order of Secretary Stanton, the pardon of Cross, the forger. The handwriting of both letters was iden tical, and the petition was the same Like the Marshal, the Governor did not entertair, a doubt of the genuineness of the letters and petition, and he directed the pardon of Cross to be made out. The Marshal thcu telegraphed to Dep uty Marshal Jenkins to meet hi 111 at the railroad depot on his return to the city, nnd tn have a carriage for him. which was j ------ . ' ' done. On his anival, the Marshal and j Deputy rode to the Eastern Peniteutiar-, I and the pardon of Cross was presented to i the Warden, much to that gentleman's I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT THAN PRESIDENT. Henry Clay. EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE suprise. Cross was soon brought from his cell to the Warden's room, where the bag was taken off his head, and he con fronted with the United States officials. On the way up, the Marshal had told the Deputy where he was going and what for, but had abstained from saying anything further. He' had remarked, too, that he did cot wish to be asked any questions on the subject. The Marshal then drove the prisoner to his house, where he provided him with necessary clothing to make a decent ap pearance, and then started for the 3alti more depot, the Deputy accompanying them. On the way dewn, the Marshal left them a moment to go to the postoffice, when Cross inquired with much concern whether the Deputy was going along, ad ding that there was no necessity for it. lie was particular to ask, also, if he had been pardoned. "When the train was near Chester, Cross was anxious to get out, as he said, for something to cat, but the Marshal refused. At 1-altimore, they partook of refreshments, but did not re main long. They arrived in Washington in the af ternoon, and Cross was taken directly to the office of the Secretary of War. The Assitant Secretary was not there, and Mr. Stanton was summoned. The Mar shal had telegraphed to the Secretary that he would have Cross at his crScc in the afternoon, and Mr. Stanton had not reti red. Upon entering, the Marshal intro duced the Deputy, and then informed the Secretary that he had brought Cross. "Mr. Secretary," said the Marshal, "this is Col. Cross, whom you have seut for." "(Had to sec Col. Cross how do you do, sir ?" said the affable Secretary, sha king Cross' hand ; "but I cau't remember sending for you, sir. "This, said the Marshal, "is Col. Cross, whom I from the delphia." . "Sir!" brouuht down by your orders Eastern Penitentiary at Phila- exclaimed the Secretary, in ut- ter surprise. "Col. Cross, f-ir, I said, pardoned by Governor Curtin from the Eastern Peni tentiary at your desire, and brought here by me at your request." Secretary Stanton looked puzzled, and rubbed his temples. "The authority by which T have acted," said, the Marshal, "is this" placing in Secretary Stanton's hand the letter from Mr. Watson, bearing his own frank. Mr. Stanton took the envelope with a bewildered air. It was a genuine War Department envelope. The frank was identical with his own. The euc'.osure was au order, written upon the paper used in the War Office, with the imprint of the Department, in the manifest handwriting of Mr. Watson, Assistant Secretary, to the purport as above -narrated. The Secretary declared his entire igno rance of the matter, and touched the bell. A messenger responded. The messenger was sent for Mr. Watson. Mr. Watson entered. Secretary Stanton handed him the envelope, aud requested to know what it all meant. Mr. Watson opened the letter, looked at it, and was astounded. "This is my writing," said he at first, "but when did I write it ? What does it mean V lie read the signature, which he scan ned closely. All doubts were now re moved. The crossing of the "t" betrayed the fraud. "This is not my writing," said Mr. W., "it is a forgery, and the most wonderful one I have ever seen." "You are sure ?" said the Secretary. "Can it be possible I" echoed the aston ished Marshal. "It is a forgery pure and simple 1" Here was a scene, at the end of which arose the inquiry as to what was to be done with Col. Cross. The Marshal settled the matter by di recting the Colonel to come again to the carriage to be t:keu to Philadelphia. Coi. Cros3 put ou the indij ;nant, and was taken demanded by what right he back. "ly my authority," said the Marshal, "because your pardon was procured by 1 forged papers." j "Then sir, you arc transcending your I powers," sail Cross. "My pardon is a ! genuine one, at any rate, and you have no I right to go behind it." "lake him back, said Secretary Stan ton. "Uy what law ?" demanded Cross, to whom the air of liberty had gained an additional sweetuess from the few moments that he had enjoyed it. - "Jy military law," replied the Secreta ry, and the redoubtable Colonel was again placed in the carriage. He was brouglit back to his old quarters, and yesterday the Governor revoked his pardon. Here h the dilemma. It is not yet cer tain that a pardou can be revoked by its author, and on this point rows an intcr- esting question. If it cannot be revoked, the government will take charge of the Colonel and send him to Fort Lafayette. In any case he will serve out his five years imprisonment," of which only about eighteen months have expired. The forged letter was dated June 1st, addressed to Mr. Millwood, United States Marshal, at Philadelphia, aud read as follows : ilSr: The Secretary cf War directs me to advise you of the receipt of a dispatch from the headquarters of the Army to this Department, with an urgent request that an immediate effort be made to send to that point the somewhat notorious for ger, J. lJuchanan Cross, now an inmate of jour State Prison and to instruct you to proceed to Ilarrisburg, for the purpose of making a personal application to the Exec utive for his release, and to bring him on to this city with the least possible delay. "You will please communicate the con tent? of this note to United States District Attorney Coffey, Collector Thomas and Postmaster Walborn and request them to append their names with your own to the petition enclosed, which, with a copy of record of scutence, it is presumed will be sufficient, as this Department has addres sed a note to Gov. Curtin requesting his favorable consideration of the same. "Cross is to be sent over the lines for a specific purpose with a telegraph operator, now in waiting at headquarters, and as the services will be attended with person al peril, the Secretary of War is desirous that no publicity be given the fact that the application for hi3 release emanates from this Department, the knowledge of which, in case of accident, would be fatal to him and defeat the purposes of his mission you will therefore observe at a glance the propriety of avoiding any ex planations whatever to the local authori ties and prison officials or even Cross him self, until he reaches his point. "Your prompt attention will be duly recognized by this department. Very re spectfully, your obedient servant, "P. II. Watson-, "Assistant Secretary of War." "Waterloo. The return of Napoleon from Elba to Taris was the signal for all the allied ar mies of Europe to be on the march to crush him. Hurriedly Napoleon collec ted 120,000 men, to repel the million of bayoners now crowding upon France. Wellington and Dluchcr were in the vi cinity cf Brussels with 100,000 each. Tj save France the horrors of invasion, Na poleon resolved to cross the frontier, and to fall upon one body, of the enemy and then another, until they should be com pelled to negotiate. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the 12th of June, Napoleon left the Tuilleries for his last campaign. He took leave of Cau hiincourt, saying, "Farewell ; we must conquer or die." Driving rapidly through the day and the succeeding night, he ar rived on the morning of the loth, at Aves ncs, 150 miles from Paris. Here he had assembled all his available force. Wel lington was at Brussels, and Blucher a few leagues from him, neither of them dreaming of an attack. They were wait ing the arrival of 200,000 Russians, with whom they were to commence thtir march upon Paris. Napoleon's plan was to at tack Wellington by surprise, and destroy his force, and then Blucher's, and then march against the Russians. In an hour after Napoleon's arrival at Avesnes his whole army was in motion. By different routes they were directed to meet at Charleroi, 35 miles distaut, at an appointed hour. Gen. Bourmont was in chaTgc of one of these divisions. Infa mously he deserted, and revealed to the allies the plans of the Emperor. Behind the entrenchments at Charleroi, Napoleon fcund ten thousand Prussians ready to dispute his passage, lie attacked them so vigorously that they soon retreated, lea ving 2,000 of their dead behind them It was 30 miles from Charleroi to Brus- I m.- - "I-- .n,l lo oitu-ifn.l ( SClS. A en mill's uu una nuu cuuaifi the little hamlet of Quatre Bras. Ney, with 40,000 men, was ordered to advance immediatelv to that spot. "Concentrate thero vour men, said the niperor. "Fortify your army by field works, ten, eo that by midnight this positi II as- ltion, oc- ' cupied and impregnable, shall bid defiance j to any attack." Blucher, acting from in formation received from the traitor Bour mont, was hastening with 80,000 troops ' to join Wellington. Napoleon at the head j of 50,000 unexpectedly encountered him. After one of the most terrible conflicts I ever waged, the Prussians fled, utterly routed, leaving 20,000 weltenug in their blood, and 10,000 prisoners in the hands of Napoleon. . Had Ney obeyed his or ders, the Prussian army would have per ished without the escape of a man. But as Ney approached Quatre Bras, in 19, 1802. a dark night, of storm and floods of rain, and through an ocean of mire, he allowed his exhausted troops to stop, a few miles before reaching that all important poiut. which he intended to take with the ear liest morning light. lie sent word that the post was actually in his possession. Wellington, at a ball in Brussels, turned pale with dismay, as he heard of the ap proach of Napoleon. It was fifteen miles from Brussels to Quatre Bras. Fully aware of the import ance of that post, he instantly dispatched a division to occupy it. Thiough the whole night these troops pressed along the miry road, mingling their tumult with the roar of the tempest. In the morning, rsey, in consternation, found that the Eng lish had possession of the post. The en tire day was spent in the most bloody, des perate and unavailing endeavors to regain it. The anguish of Ney, in view of the irreparable fault, was awful. The uight of the loth of June came; anight of darkness and deluging rain. Napoleon, at Ligny, was a victor. Ney, ten miles distant, at Quatre Bras, was baffled, bleed ing and " exhausted. Blucher, with his broken battalions consequently escaped, and retreated towards Wavrc, where he wa joined by reinforcements. Napoleon sent Grouchy with 30,000 men to pursue him. Wellington fell back to Waterloo, to be joined by his Prussian allies. Such was the state' of affairs when the morning of the 17th of June dawned upon these drenched armies. Napoleon, leaving Grouchy to pursue Blucher, passed over to Quatre Bras, join ed his troops with those of Ney, and with this combined force of 70,000 followed Wellington to the spacious plain of Wat erloo. Wellington had hjre skilfully pos ted his troops on an extended ridge, and was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Blucher. It was the night of the 17th, dark and rainy, when Napoleon reached the field. For eighteen hours he had not indulged in a moment oi repose or recei ved any nourishment. All the night the rain fell iu torrents, as the Emperor sta tioned his men for the battle of the mor row. Wellington's force has been variously estimated at from 72,000 to 90,000 meu. Napoleon had from 05,000 to 75,000. The morning of the ISth dawned lurid and stormy. It was the Sabbath. The undulating plain of Waterloo was a vast wheat field. Soaked with rain and cut up by the wheels and the tramp of these armies it r.ow resembled a quagmire. At eight o'clock the clouds broke, and the sun brilliantly shone out. At half past ten the troops "were all in their positions, the hospitals established in the rear, and the surgeons, with bandages, splinters, knives and saw?, ready for their melan choly work. At 11 oViock the carnage commenced. The English with their formidable bat teries, were extended along the ridge of a gcut'.c elevation, about a mile and a half in length. The French, from an oppo sing ridge, not an eighth of a mile dis taut, were forming in solid columns, and charging the British line up to the very muzzle of their guns. Hour after hour the murderous fight continued, each par ty apparently as indifferent to bullets, balls and shells, as if thoy had been snow flakes. About the middle of the afternoon the victory seemed to be decided in favor of Napoleon. In many places great gaps had been cut through the British lines, and fugitives, iu broken bands, were fly ing in dismay towards Brussels. It is said that Wellington was in anguish, deeming the battle lost, and that he wiped the cold sweat from his brow, saying, "Would that Blucher or night were come." Just at this time the, quick eye of the Emperor discerned, far off upon the right, . . f c f.tci :.n.. an immense mass oi uv,vv.'u men, lajnuiy emerging upon the G rouehy. Blucher. from a forest and descending plain. He hoped that it was It ought to have been. It was Napoleon had now but 50,000 men, exhausted vy exposure, marcmr.gs, , i . i aud many houra of the most desperate fighting.

There was a flash, a roar, and a cloud of smoke shut but within the combatants from vicw that cloud there" was inCcs- santly the gleam and the thunder of war's most terrific storm. Atthcsame moment the Prussians came thundering upon the field. A gust of wind for a moment swept away the smoke, and the anxious eye of Napoleon beheld that his Guard had disappeared. A mortal paleness spread over the cheek of the Emperor, and a panic seized every heart. A scene cf horror ensued which humanity shudders to contemplate. Na poleon threw himself into a tmall square he had kept as a reserve, and urged it into the densest throngs of the. enemy, that lie might perish with his Guaid Cambrone seized the bridle of his horse, saying. "Sire, death shuns you. You will be made a prisoner." . Yielding to these solicitations, he reluctautly retired. Th is remnant of his Guard bade him fare well, shouting, Vive 1 Empereur ! They were soon surrounded, and called upon to surrender. Cambrone returned the im mortal reply, "The Guard dies; it never surrenders !" A few discharges of grapo. from the surrounding batteries cut the.n all down. So perished the Old Guard of iNapoIeon, and thus terminated the battlo of Waterloo. John S. C. Alhott. Gen.
