ANECDOTE 0 - F NAPOLEON.
The Jealous Husband
During ono of the campaigns in Germany,
the Emperor, in his celebrated grey great coat,
wits riding about in the environs of Munich, at
tended only by two orderly °tricorn. ilis Jmot-
on the road a very pretty looking feinulo, who,
by her dress, was evidently a vivandiero. • She
was weeping, and was Pleading , by the hand a
little boy about five yea i s of age. Struck by
the beauty of the woman and her - .distresi, the
Empe . ror Imlled up his horse, by the road aide
and said :
, What is the mutter with you my dour 7. 1
The wom•n, not knowing the individual by
whom she_was addreseed, and being much dis
composed by grief, made no reply. Tho little
buy, howcier, was More , mid ho
frankly answered : •
`My 'nether is crying, air, because toy rather
has beat her:
'Where is your hither ?'
.Close by here. lie is one of `the sentinels
'on duty with the baggage.'
The Emperor again addressed himself to the
lib:He:in, and inquired the name of her husband;
bubstio.xidused to tell, being afraid lest the Cap
tainots slie.supposed the-Emperor to.be,.would—
cause her husband to be punished. Napoleon,
I am sorry to say, had but little confidence in
the fair sex. On this occasion, his habitual
suspicions returned to his mind, and he said :
''Malpests ! your_liusband has been beating
you ; you are weeping, and yet.,you are no afraid
of getting Ilan into trouble, that you will not
even tell his name. This is very , Inconsistent.
May it net be.,.that.you, are a.little•-rn the
yourself?!
CaptainA lie has a thousand good
qualities, though lie has one very bad one : lie is
jeaThus, terribly jealous, and when he gets into
n puesion, cannot restrain his violence.'
`But that is rather refloat' ; in one of his fits
of jealousy he may inflict on you some Very se
vere injury, perhaps kill you.'
Aud even it he . did,,l should 'nut wish any
harm to come to him, for I am sure he would
not do it willingly. Ile loves 'me' tusk well for
that.' '
Mnd if I guoss rightly you love him.'
`That is very natural, Captnin;
,ho is my
lawful husbund, and tho. father of my deux
buy.
Sa saying, she fondly hissed her child, who,
by the way he returned her caresses, proved.
Ills affection for, his anther. Napoleon was
ramrod by this touching picture in spite of tho
heart of iron, of marble or . of adamant, which
has so often been allotted to him.
said he agnin,turning to the women,
whether youand your husband love each other
or not: I do not choose that he should heat you
UM one of the him ieror's aides-do-
camp, and 4 will
,nerifian.ifie affair Ma=
in . 9, 'your husbaridnume.'
'IT ye! were the Etnperoi — liimself, I would
not tell you,,ftir r lltrtity:he would be , nunished.'
Sill vomh7t ! all I Alit is•to tench him to
behave .well to you, and treat,yot with the re
• cct you deserve.' '
'That would make mo very happy„Captam,
but though he ill create me,l will not get him
punished.'• •
The - Emperor shrugged up his shoulders,
made sante remark upon fbmale obstinacy, and
galloped oft -
When he was out of the 'woman';; hearing,
he said to the officers who accompanied him :
gentlemen, what do yo think of that
affectionate cregture 'Flare aro not many
such women at the Tuillerics. A wifu like
that is a treingire to her husband.'
,In the - course of u. few minutes the baggage,
of which the boy-had spoken, came up. 'lt was
escorted by a company of the Fifty-Second.—
Napoleon despatched can, of the officers win"
was riding with him, to desire the cam man&
of the escort to coins to him.
'ave you a vivanclicro in your company 7'
'Yea, Sire,' replied the Caplain.

should say to the
Emperor, 'Sire, you look to th'A enemy, and
'leave me to manage my wife.'
Napoleon laughed, and said, 'My good fel
low, you are now speaking to the Emperor.'
The word produced its usual magical effect.
The grehadierlooked confused, held down his
head, lowered his voice and said,
'Oh Sire I that quite alters the case. Since
your Majesty commands, kof course obey.'
'That's right. I hear an excellent character
of your wife. Everybody speaks well of her:
She braved my displeasure rather than expose
you to punishmOnt. Reiiard her by kind treat
ment. I promote you to the rank of sergeant,
and when you arrive at 'Munich, apply to the
Grand Marechal du Pala is, and he will present
you with four hundred francs. With tha't you
may buy a sutler's caravan, which will enable
your wife to carry on a p'rofitabb: business.—

me hear of you beating, your wife again. If I
do you shall find that I can deal hard bleivs.aa

'Ah, Sire ! I can nevei be sufficiently grate
ful for your kindness.'
Two or three years after this circumstance,
the Fltorperc , r was with the army in another
campaign. Naporeon, you know, had n .won•
derful power of recollecting the countenances
oT persons whom he hail once seen. On one of

Tile poor woman burst into tears, and threw
herself at the Emperor's feetAtki
, Sire! Olt, Sire f Since my goo star led
me into the gracious presence of your Majesty,
I have been the happiest of women.'
Then iiMiiierd me by being the most virtuous
or wives. 4
-- A .few pietes-of- gold.- were - presented -with
these words j and es Ntholeon rode off, the
cries of wive Edipereur, uttered amidst Mara
and soli the mother and her son, were en
thusiastically repeated by the wIMle battalion.

NEW MEXICO-HER POPULATION.
The following beautifully' written article,
from the pen of John G. Whittior, in relation
to Now Mexico, her populetion, &c., will well
repay a perusal
The delegate from New Mexico, Huglt. N
Smith, estimates the population of the Territo
ry, in round numbers' at 80,000. Of these 6011110
10,000 era the descendants of the Aztecs, the
semi-civilized founder:, of those, ancient cities,
the ruinsmf which, scattered aver Illaileo;at
test their original splendor and the skill of their
artificers. They are the best farmers of Now
Mexico, living in compact villages, surrounded
by_lruit times; gardens, and.grcat fields of corn
and melons. The report of Lieut. J. W. Abort,
of his "Examination of Now Meximi, in the
years 1846=-47," gives a minute description of
some . of OM principal Pueblos or Indian towns.
Tho houses are from two to three stories high.
firmly eunstructed of sun dried bricks, or rough
stone, plastered with clay or iho glittering white
of the sclenite. Each village has its churcheir,
its padre, an aleade;-or , cliief magistrate: _ The .
inhabitants aro industrious, penccable,und kind
hearted. They nrs lovers of flowers and fruit
troop; and Lieutenant Abort says that he s eould
at first sight distinguish an Indian from a Span
ish town, by the green clump of trees which en..'
'closed it. They raise largo numbers of the
common domestic (owls, and, like their. Aztec
ancestors, have a fancy for: laming bade. In
dress and appearance they scarcely suffer ,
comparison with their Castilian neighbors'.
dOlonel Emoryiin his - roport'to the' SeersetiiriFi
. .
oflVai of his •Explorations in New Mexico,
.gilves the pokrait or an Indian woman, painted
froth — hie, in the parfoFot the Indiini
roulette. It is a picture f remarkable beauty;
the figure full and L:racefully moulded, and the
features delicately chiselled. Tho women• aro
very tolerable housewives, and onr officersowhe
during the late war had occasion to partake
'el their lio.mitality, speak of their welljoaded ,
tables, their sponge-cakes, fine wheaten
loaves,. and domain ic-vvines.
Tho Pueblo Indians were , the first - to 'wel
come the American troops to Now Mexico.
They disliked the Mexican rade, as it constant-
ly reminded them of Um conquest and subjiigit 7.
lion of ancestors. COI, Emory dope not hesi
tate to pronounce them "the best and ,most
peaceable citizens of New Mexico."' It Would
certainly bo a most ungrateful return to the
people, if their State should be denied a place
in the American Confederacy., on the ground
that they aro imiverthy of tli - rigliteOl citizen
ship.
As to the-Mexican or Spanish part of the • 0
population, they are, to say the' leur,r - rtito as sr,
well fitted for tire duties and respensfbilities of
State government, as the old 'inhabitants of
Louisiana'.land Florida, when [hese Statet were
received into the Union. They are riot an en
terprising, hard-working people—the majority
content themselves with the simple necessaries
of life—they have neither the thriftiness nor the
shiftiness of the Yankees. They have feiv
books and no newspapers. Yet they are by
-
no means deficient in the ruliinems of educa
tion; each village has its padre, more or lees

residences aro spacious, and_not without archi

classes are courteous and civil in. their" social -
intercourse ; crimes of the:highest degree are
nnirequonl, but, as , in all parts of Mdxice, ga
ming is a prevalent vice.
In. the northern part of the Territory there
is. good deal of intemperance, and this famous
Taos whiskey is too freely Used. Lower down,
the light, delicious wines of El Paso are in
common use. ''Phe "Amehcans_who visit them
have the reputation of hard drinkers, and when
Col. Emory, on one occasion, declined the prof
fer of a bottle - of whiskey, the astonished Ales

To the,restict4, wise tidied, gr'esPitio, Anglo•

THE BATTLE OF MIENS VISTA.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS
The newspaper's from all suctions of the na
tion come to us filled with the eulogies oft the
late President, pronounced at varions mortuary
commemorations. r Most of these addresses,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin,
„though they
abound in noble testimonials to the worth of
the departed he'ro, contain little or nothing
that is new. A few, howeycr, are of a diner
efit clasi, and embody facis'respecting General
Taylor, hithertO not generally known. Among
this last d‘seription of addresses is one pro
nounced al Salem, Mass., on the 18th ultimo,
by the Hon. C. W.' Upham. It contains an
account of the celebrated flag of truce which,
during the battle of Buena Vista, was sent from
Santa Anna to Gee, Taylor ; and as ac•
count was, derived from „Atte lips of • the late
Wesidefit it is veracious in every,respeht, and
will hereafter pais into history. The pasiage is
as follows : •
"As this incident of the battle' may possibly,
if the secret history of the war is ever fully re-
Vea led, be found to shed light upon it,l will
here record the s .facts related to me by general
Taylor himself. During the height of the °o
gle!, a flag was •approaching. 'lb , e 'erne mn

that, liNving no one to send, he went himself to.
meet it..As the young officer. who bore it could
not speak English, nor he Spanisb i lhe confer

lion was this : "General Santa Atfna desires

mg somewhat indignant that a message appa l
rently impertinent should have been sent at
_stiels a moment, and_regacding it as perbrka_
device merely to gain time, or some other ille
gitimate advantage, or at best', a species of tri '
fling, he gave . an answer dictated by the feeling
•of the moment—. What .General Taylor Feasts
is Gen. Santa Anna's armi."_.
Here the conference closed, and the Mexican
officer withdrew. Upon a moment's reflection,
he regretted
_that lie had given an answer so
untrigoittatie, and having much the air of a
repartee. He called to mind the fact that his
government had advised him that they had fa
vored the return of Santa Anna to Mexico,
from a belief that he was disposed to promote,
and 'might. have influence enough with his
countrymen to effect a termination of the war,
and it occurred to him really designed to open
amegotiation, and, perhaps, a pacification—au
object ever near his heart.' Ile rode liver the
field in search of Gen. Wool, and made known
.
* the circumstance to him, and suggested, if not
too great a personal exposure, the expediency
of his carrying a flag to the Mexican lines to
asid en explanation.of. thn.,tnessage.
To sand on officer of his rank, character and
position, would remove the 'indignity, if it
should be so regarded; of his blunt and summa
ry• answer. Gen. Wool readily and gallantly
undertouk'the service, and rode forth to .exe
cute it, but the fire of the Mexican batteries
could not again he stopped and no further par
ley took place. The next morning when Col.
Bliss was sent with a flag to the Mexican Head
Quarters, he was reyllested to ascertain what
had been intended by the message. of the pre
vious do but he round the state f t

The import of this message remirins unriddled
to this
. day. Seats Anna can undoubtedly
solve the enigma." •
Mr. Upham,. in the course of his address,
gives numerous anecdotes, exhibiting the late
President's courage and generoSity. Among
I other instances of the display of thesevalities
on the part of-the the decimsed hero, lie gives
the - following

"Hon—swim?' I asked. "It is a torrent
there !"
"Oh, no !" answered the Frenchman "mon
keys ivouhrrather go into fire than water. If
they cannot leap tho stream, they bridge
it."
"Bridge it I and how ?"
"Stop a moment, Captain you shall see."
The half human voices now sounded nearer
and we could perceive that the animals were
approaching the spot where we lay. Presently
they. appeared upon the opposite bank, headed
by . an old grey headed chieftain and officered
like so many soldiers. They were, as Raoul
stated, of the omadreja or ringtailed tribe.
One—an aid-de-camp, or chief pioneer, per
haps—ran out upon a projecting rock, and, af
ter looking across the'stream as if calculating
the distance, scampered back and apy eared to
communicate with the, leader. This produced
a movement in the troop. Commands were
issued, and, fatigue parties were detailed and
andmattelied to the -front. Meanwhile several
Of the cainadrojas—engineers; no doubt-,ran'
along the bank, examining trees on both - sides
of the orrowdi
At length they all collected around a tall cot
tonwood that grew over the narrowest part of
the stream, and 20 or 30 of them scampered
up its trunk. .0n- reaching a high point, the
loremost—a strong fellowle-ran out upon a limb,
and taking several turns of his tail around it
slipped olf and hung hoed ,downwards. The
„. .
next on the limb, also a stout One 'climbed down
body of the first and whipped his tail tight- -
ly round Inc neck and - forearm of the latter,
dropped oil in his turn and hung head down.—
Tho this manceuVre upon - the se ,
cond and the fourth upon the third, and so on,
until the last ono upon the string rested his fore ,
paws-upon the ground.
--- Tnecling — clidin now commenced
backwards and Torewards, like the pendulum of
a clock. Tho motion was slight at first, but
gradually increased. the lowermost mmikey---
striking his hands violently on the earth as ho
passed the tangent qf the oscillating curve.—
Several otheraiipon the limbs above aided the
movement.
This continued until the monkey at the end
of the chain was thrown among the branches
of a tree on the opposite bank. Here, after
two or three vibrations, he clutched a Pnib and
held fa . st. The movement was executed adroitt,
ly, just at tile culminating 'point of oscillation,
in order to save the•interutediata links from the
violencd of too sudden a jerk. '
The chain was now fast at both ands, form
nig a complete susp'ension'bridge; over which
the whole troop to the number of'foor or five
hundred, passed with the rapidity of thought.
It was one of the most coiiiical sights I over
beheld, to witness the quizzing expressicd'of
countenance along that'living chain !
The troop were now' on the other side, but
how were the animals forming the bridge to . get
themselves over This was the question which
suggested itself. Manifest' t by number one_

on the other side thas much lower down, and
number one with half a dozen of his neighbors,
would dash against the opposite bank, or get
soused info the muter.
Here, then, was a probleM, and_we waited
with some curiosity for-its solution. It was
soon solved. A liibniley was now seen attach

was swung over, and landed safely on the op
posite bank.- The lowermost' links now drop.

ones leaped to the branohei and came down by
the trunk. The whole troop then scampered

OUlt .NATIONAL PRODUtT,
In studying the mean temperature and annual
fall Or rain; including snow and dew, in the-U.
States, and the distribution of both heat and:
water through the year, one can hardly escape
the conviction that no other equal area on the
globe has equal agricultural capabilities.—
Without including Delaware, there are within
a fraction of 6 00,000,000 acres in the SotAtiora
States. On two-thirds of this vast surfae.e,
wheat is harvested early enough in May and
June to permit a crop of corn to mature un the
same land before autumn frosts. By drawing
, aline from the Atlantic due west to the Rio
Grand, so as to have 300,000,000 acres south
of it, on every arable acre two, crops of our
most valuable breadstulfs can be harvested in a
year. Allow one-third of this area for forests,
the beds'of riiersi- and irreclaimable surface,
and there aro left, 200,000,000 acres for eulli-
Cation. On the supposition ihat - the south had
a population adiquate to demand such crops;,,
100,000,000 acres might be drilled with seed
wheat iti November after corn harveit, putting/
half the needful fertilizers in with the seed;
and sowing the balance broadcast in February
or March, after the paghsh and Belgian prac
tice.
With skilful culture and feeding, an average,
return of 20 bushels per acre may reasonably
be expected, producing an aggregate of 2,000,-
000,000 of bushels. This crop would be har
vested between the 15th May and 15th June,
after which a crop of corn may be grown...
With a dense population, as in Belgium, Franca,
and many parts of China4here can never be a
real lack of fertilizers, so that 60 bushels of
corn can be-produced on. every-acre-of arable
surface in our thirty
. States. By this estimate _
it is seen thatAhe.same.land , wltioliJiall'prodii-'
ced 2.000,000,000 bushels of wheat, might so
far as the-climate is-concerned easily yield 6,-
000,000,000 bushels of corn in season to seed
with wheat again. - •
Governor Hammond, of South Carolina (ski
mates-the present-capacity of - the - slaveholding
States as equal to ,the support of 200;000,000
of inhabitants. To give Virginia as dense . a
population as Belgium has, (which exports far
more of human food than Virginia does,) would
require all the people now in the United States'•
to reside in the "Ancient Dominion.",
Of the other 100,000,000 acres of arable
soil, one half may be planted in cotton, and en
tidied no more than to give an average offs
bale of 400 lbs to the acre. This will secure
an annual crop twenty, timesiarger than is now"
grown in the United States, and fifteek t times
ilarger than the, consumption of the who re hu

Union $124,0118,353, 55 . in the eipenses of the
.war. and the indemnity paid for the territory -
acquired. Besides.which .we have the follow
ing statistics of the loss of human life in the
war:—The number of deaths returned by tho •
officers of the army. 12,878; 9,749 wore die.
charged for disability, of whom at least half
have died, say 4,874; 73,260 men worn mos.
tcred into service during tho war, and 50,579
were mustered out ; of the residue, amounting '
to 22,687, 20,072 were returned as dead;clis•
charged or deserted, and the difference 2615,
are supposed to be dead ; of these munterdd out
of service it 19 estimated that 10 per cent., or.
5,114, have since died ; thus Making, in the '
aggregate, a loss of 25,481 lives through this •
way. Mr. Smith rightly asks whether, with
this expenditure of life and treasure, the United
States have not purchased New 91exico, nue
whether wo are to be obliged to 'purchase
