A THRILLING SKETCH.
NAPOLEON AT MOSCOW.
. ,We subjoin from Headlcy's work apoleon
and his Marshals" a brilliant account of the
burning of Moscow, which is well spoken of in
the American Whig Review as superior even
to Croly's picture in "Salathiel" of the confla
gration of Rome. Ileadley's descriptive powers
have rarely if ever been surpassed :
"At length Moscow, with its domes, and
towers, and palaces, appeared in ' sight, and
Napoleon, who had joined the advanced guard,
gazed long and thoughtfully on that goal of Tiis
wishes. Murat went forward and entered the
gates with his splendid cavalry, but as he passed
through the streets he was struck with the
solitude that surrounded him. Nothing was
heard but the heavy tramp of his squadron as
he passed along, for a deserted and abandoned
city was the meagre prize for which such un
paralleled efTorta had been made. As. night
drew its curtain over the splendid capital,
Napoleon entered the gates, and immediately
appointed Mortier governor. In his directions,
he commanded him to abstain from all pillage.
'For this,' said he, 'you shall be answerable
with your life. Defend Moscow against all,
whether friend or foe.
"The bright moon rose over the mighty city,
tipping with silver the domes of more than two
hundred churches, and pouring a flood of light
over a thousand palaces and the dwellings of
three hundred thousand inhabitants. The weary
army sunk to rest; but there was no sleep to
Mortier's eyes. . Not the gorgeous and variega
ted places and their rich ornaments, nor the
parks and gardens and oriental magnificence
that every where surrounded him, kept him
wakeful, but the ominous foreboding that some
dire calamity was hanging over the silent capi
tal. When he entered it, scarce a living soul
met his gaze as he looked down the long streets;
and when he broke open tho buildings he found
parlors, and bedrooms, and chambers all furn
ished and la order; bat no occupants. The
sudden abandonment of their homes betokened
some secret purpose yet to be fulfilled. The
midnight moon was sailing over the city, when
the cry of 'fire' reached the ears of Mortier; and
the first light over Napoleon's fallen empire was
kindled, and that most wondrous scene in mod
ern times commenced the burning of Moscow.
"Mortier, as governor of the city, immediate
ly issued his orders, and was putting forth eve
ry exertion, when at daylight Napoleon hasten
ed to him. Affectine to disbelieve the reports
that the inhabitants were firing their own city,
he put more "rigid commands on Mortier to keep
the soldiers from the work of destruction. The
Marshal simply pointed to some iron-covered
houses that had not yet been opened, from eve
ry crevice of which smoke was issuing like steam
from the sides of a pent-up volcano. Sad and
thoughtful, tfapoleon turned towards the Krem
lin, the ancient palace of the Czars, whose huge
structure rose high above the surrounding edi
fices. "In the evening, Mortier, by great exertions,
was enabled to subdue the fire. The next night
(September 15) at midnight, the sentinels on
watch upon the lofty Kremlin saw below them
the flames bursting through the houses and
palaces, and the cry of fire, fire, fire,' passed
through the city. The dread scene had now
fairly opened. Fiery balloons were seen Ocp-
ping from the air and lighting upon the houses;
dull explosions were heard on every side from
me snui aweuings, ana tno next moment a
bright light burst forth, and the flames were
raging through the apartments. AU was uproar
and confusion. , The 6crcne air and moonlight
of the night before, had given way to driving
clouds and wild tempests, that swept with, the
roar of the sea over the city. Flames arose on
every side, blazing and cracking in the storm,
while cloudjs of smoke and sparks, in an inccs
sant shower, went driving towards the Kremlin.
The clouds themselves seemed turned into fire,
rolling in wrath over devoted Moscow. Mortier,
crushed with responsibility thus thrown upon
his shoulders, moved his Young Guard amid
this desolation, blowing up the houses and fa
cing the tempest and the flames struggling
nobly to arrest the conflagration.
"He hastened from place to place amid the
blazing ruins, his face blackened with smoke,
and his hair and eyebrows singed with the
fierce heat. At length the day dawned, a day
of tempest and flame, and Mortier, who -' Lad
strained every nerve for thirty-six hours, en
tcrcd a palace and dropped from fatigue. The
manly form and stalwart arm that so often car
ried death into the ranks of the enemy at length
gave way, and the gloomy Marshal lay and
panted in utter exhaustion. But the night of
tempest had been succeeded by a broad flame.

from quarter to quarter as if on purpose to

and fro, stopping convulsively and gazing on
the terrific scene. Murat, Eugene, and Berthicr
rushed into his presence, and on their knees

"But at length the shout, 'the Kremlin is on
fire!', was heard above the roar of the conflagra
tion, and Napoleon reluctantly consented to
leave. He descended to the. street with his
staff, and looked about for a way of egress, but
the flames blockaded every passage. At length
they discovered a postern gate leading to the
Moskwa and entered it, but they had only en
tered still further into the danger. As Napo
leon cast his eyes around the open space, girded
and arched with fire, smoke, and cinders, he
saw" one singlo street yet open, but all on fire.
Into this he rushed, and, amid the crash of
falling houses, and raging of the flames, over
burning ruins, through clouds of rolling smoke,
and between walls of fire, he pressed on, and
at length, half suffocated, emerged in safety in
the imperial palace of Petrowsky, nearly three
miles distant. Mortier, relieved of his anxiety
for the Emperor, redoubled his efforts to arrest
the conflagration. His men cheerfully rushed
into every danger. Breathing nothing but smoke
and ashes canopied by flame, smoke and cin
ders surrounded by walls of fire that rocked to
and fro, and fell with a crash amid the blazing
ruins, carrying down with them red-hot .roofs
of iron, he struggled against an enemy that no
boldness could awe, or courage overcome.
These brave troops had heard the tramp of
thousands of cavalry sweeping to battle without
fear; but now they stood in terror before the
march of conflagration, under whose burning
footsteps was heard the incessant crash of fal
ling houses, and palaces, and churches. The
continuous roar of the flames was more terri
ble than the roar of the artillery,- and before
this new foe, in the midst of the elements, the
awe-struck army stood powerless and affrighted.
"When-night again descended on tbe uy it
presented a spectacle th ttse or wnioii was
nevci1 seen before, and which baffles all descrip
tion.'' The streets 'were streets of fire, the
heavens a canopy of fire, and the entire body
of the city a mass of fire, fed by the hurricane
that whirled the blazing fragments in a constant
stream through the air. Incessant explosions
from the blowing up of stores of oil, tar, and
spirits, shook the very foundation of the city,
and 6cnt vast volumes of smoke rolling furi
ously towards the sky. Huge sheets of canvass
on. fire came floating like messengers of death
through the flames the fowers and domes of
the churches and palaces glowed with red-not
heat over the wild sea below, then tottering a
moment on their basis were hurled by the temp
est into, the common ruin. Thousands of
wretches before unseen were driven by the heat
from the cellars, and streamed in an incessant
throne in the street. Children were seen car
rying their parents the strong the weak, while
thousands more were staggering under tne
loads of plunder they had snatched from the
flames. This, too, would frequently taKe nrc
in the falling shower, and the miserable crea
tures would bo compelled to drop it, and flee
.1
for their lives. Oh ! it was a scene oi icar mu
wo, inconceivable and indescribable ! A mighty
and close packed city of houses, and churches,
and palaces, wrapped from limit to limit in
flames which arc fed by a whirling hurricane is
a sight this world will seldom see.
"But th)s was all within the city. To Napo
leon without the spectacle was still more sublime
and terrific. When the flames had overcome all
obstacles, and had wrapped every thing in their
red mantle, that great city looked like a sea of
rolling fire swept by a tempest tnat aroe n
into vast billows. - Huge domes and towers
throwing off sparks like blazing fire brands,
now towered above the waves, and now disap
peared in their maddening flow as they broke
high over their tops, scattering their spray of
fire against the clouds. The heavens mcmscivcs
seemed to have caught the conflagration, aud

Governor Johnston.
The Pcnnsylvanian says the following article
is from the pen of a very learned and intelligent
Whig of the city of rSiUdelphia. It was pub
lished on Monday last as a kind of Whig adnio-
ttiiion. to tb iVliigB wha aaovmMed La State Con
vention on Tuesday in Lancaster. " '
We go to press before hearing whether John-
is nominated or not, but we think there is no
room to doubt his nomination.
Governor Johnston and the Whig Convention.
The time is fast approaching, when the citi
zens of Pennsylvania must determine by their
ballots who shall be their Governor for the next
three years. The candidate of the Democratic
party has been fixed upon, and as he is a gen
tleman of good character, of respectable talents,
and popular withal, he may be expected to re
ceive the undivided vote of his party. The
Whigs are to select their candidate to-morrow,
and from present appearances, Governor John
ston will be chosen as standard bearer, and
supported by his three hundred military aids,
located in different parts of the State, he will in
all probability enter into the contest sanguine
of success. His plans have been well laid to
secure his nomination, and connecting his name
with the anticipated popularity of Gen. Scott,
as a candidate for the next Presidency, and re
lying upon the Abolition vote of the State, he
no doubt calculates upon the certainty of a re
election.
However sanguine the Governor may be on
this subjeoi, ve think we see signs of a storm
in the horizon, and although to him the . cloud
may appear no bigger than a man's hand, yet to
us it seems like a dark and heavy pall upon his
future prospects. We think we already hear
the muttering sound of distant thuudcr which
portend a storm, and unless the signs of the
times greatly mislead us, it will in the end
burst in torrents upon his head.
Governor Johnston occupies a position at
present, which, remaining unchanged, will cause
him the loss of many thousand Totes of the
Whig party, and which must result in his en
tire defeat He has stepped off the Whig Na
tional platform on the solid foundation of
which he ' might have stood secure, and has
erected for himself a ricketty sort of stage
affording him no sure support, and from which
he will most certainly fall. Abafluoning the
great compromise measures upon which de
pends the preservation of the Union, he has
forsaken the companionship of such men as
Webster, Clay, Fillmore, and other distinguish
ed Whigs, and has thrown himself into the arms
of the Abolitionists of Pennsylvania. Affect
ing to disbelieve there ia any danger of the dis
solution of the Union, whether the compromise
measures be fully adhered to or not, he has by
his course in refusing to rign the repeal of the
fugitive slslve obstruction biU, . abandoned the
great landmarks of the National Whig party
separated himself from the friends of the Union
arrayed himself in an attitude ef hostility to
the feelings and wishes of the South and pla--
ced himself in the ranks of Seward, Sumner,
and the other Abolitionists of the day. Disre
garding the opinions so unanimously expressed
at the great Union Meeting of both parties,
held some months ago in this city, as to the im
portance of the great compromise measures as
connected with the preservation of the Union,
he has insisted that it has been in no danger;
and relying upon his own wisdom and foresight,
he has treated the solemn warnings of Webster,
Cass, Clay, Foote, and others as idle tales.
For proof of this, we quote from his epcecli, re
cently made in Spring Garden and reported in
his own paper, the North American. -
"He held the opinion that this Government
could never be dissolved.
He had never met a citizen of Pennsylvania who
could conscientiously say he had been in fear of
the safety of this glorious Union. ;
He did not care wkjror for purpose the. cry
of danger to the Union bad been raised.
He did not care who was put in or
out of office it was a dangerous opinion that
you can dissolve the Union at any time, or un
dcr any possible circumstances.
These excerpts- from Governor Johnston's
speech may serve to show us clearly the ground
upon which he stands. . He would take no pains
to conciliate the South, because the Union, in
hi estimation, is in no danger. He cares not
whether tho fugitive slave law is obeyed or not,
and therefore carries the bill which would fac
iltite its operations unsigned in his pocket
The course which Gov. Johnston is thus pur
suing is unquestionably in direct opposition to
the feelings and wishes of the great body of the
Whig party. It is their object to conciliate,
not to exasperate the South. They deem it ef
paramount importance that the Compromise
measures be carried out and adhered to, to the
very letter. Their proceedings and resolutions,
adopted at their various County Meetings
throughout the State, show this, and under
these circumstances it must - be evident that
Gov. Johnston holding such contrary scnthncts
and pursuing so opposite a course, cannot pos
sibly receive their undivided support. The sta
bility and the preservation of tho Union, wnh
them, over rides oil other fomidcralioits, and
whether Johnston or i'izler be Oovcmor, 13 a
matter of no moment compared with an adhc -rence
to the Constitution and Laws.
These are considerations which certainly niuil
impress themselves with full force on the mind:;
Of the members of tho Whig Convention, which
will assemble at Lancaster - to-morrow; and if
they have due weight, will cause to hesitate be
fore they may select'Johnston for the ensuing
campaign.' With him as their leader they will
inevitably lose the State by - fifteen or twenty
thousand votes, and their incohsistancy in se
lecting such a man as their candidate, who ia
opposed to the -compromise, will preclude all
spmpathy for their defeat - How much more
noble will it be for them to fall if they arc to
fall in going into, a eon test- under a leader
whose sentiments, feelings and principles arc
congenial with their own, and iri whose sup
port they could cordially and consistently unite
with at least some hope of success.
.7 A. WHIG.
THE YVIIIG COrELVTIOX.
Thi3 body assembled in the city of Lancaster,
on Monday last,' and nominated Gov. Johkstos
by acclamation for re-election.-. That he would
meet no opposition for this mark of distinction ,
in his own party, has been, for some months, a
foregone conclusion. Gov. Johnston is popular
with three-fourths of his party, and being an
able tactician, was able to keep dowa any dis
play of opposition to his re-nomination by the
other fourth. He is therefore before the people
for re-election; opposed by Col. Biglkk the
Democratic nominee. ; Both parties are in the
field with popular, talented and sagacious lead
ers, and we presume that the contest will be
conducted by both, with more consummate skill
and judgment, than was ever before displayed
in a Gubernatorial contest in this Common
wealth. With the expression of the belief, that the
odds are greatly in favor of the Democratic
candidate, we pass to a hasty consideration of
the platform laid down by the Whig Conven
tion, in connection with its formal nomination
of Gen. Scott for the Presidency. We believe
that Gov. Johsstox is certain of beirtg defeated
this fall, and we also believe that, that defeat
will strongly operate against Gen. Scott's nom
ination by a National Convention. There is n-
reason advanced calculated to convince any one
of Gov. Johnstoji being stronger than his
party; and upon ordinary occasions we all
know that theWhig party is not within ten
thousand . votes as" strong as the Democratic.
Allowing - the Whig party to be wholly united
upon Gov. JomfsTox, which -is not the case,
there is no hope for him, this time, unless there
is great dissatisfaction synong the Democrats
with their nominee.
A single item in the composition of the Whig
State platform, shows very conclusively fhat the
Convention felt the delicacy and importance of
the task entrusted to its management- Being
anxious to obtain the Abolition vote of the
State, much could not be said in favor of the
Fugitive Slave Law, and fearing that the Whig
friends of President Fillmore would kick in
the traces, unless the measures of his adminis
tration were endorsed, something had fo be said
calculated to, satisfy thai important wing of the
party. The Ccvcrc3, accordingly, passed a

The Turkish Fashion.
Bratton, of the Carlisc Volunteer, says:
Whilst some ladies decidedly approve the new
6tyle of dress, which is occasionally exhibited,
as being much more neat and conducive t
healh than the present fushion, others think
that it approaches too near the maacul nc dress,
and is consequently objectiouable. . Which side
will finally prevail wc know not The dross,
although it gives a lady an odd appearance, t.
certainly neat and comfortable; and, we there
fore vote, that those who please, may wear it
without censure. It will banish the injurious
system of tight-lacing, and prevent the bustle
from ever again disfiguring the sex. We do
not see why young ladies with pretty feet and
anc'.cs should be prohibted from exhibiting
fur the admiration of the other sex. If they
like to dress a la Turk, who has the right to say
to them nay ? We live in a free country, and
ia an age when all kinds of isms prevail; and
as Wome's Rights Conventions are annually
he'ld, we would advise the men to yield with a
grace in a matter in which they are sure to be
conquered. Fashions vary constantly and, a
the ladies now fancy Turkish trousers, ci them
be indulged in the humor, leit they finally
usurp the coat and -waistcoat too.
