THEBONAPARTES OF AMERICA
(Translated for The Home Joubnai*.)
The editors Chari® Scribner & Sons,
of New York, havejust published a very
interesting work entitled, “Life of
Mttdutne Bonaparte.” We fiud therein
of course the history of tlie marriage of
Miss Elizabeth Patterson with Prince
Jerome, brother of Napoleon I., and all
the romantic and historic incidents of
this event. A great number of docu
ments arc joined to the work, but there
ore looking certain letters which put in
relief the ambition of this remarkable
woman, particularly the ambition which
she had conceived for the future of her
ion, and the immense disappointment
which she felt to see him marry, in
spite of her wish, the daughter of a
merchant of Baltimore, when all her
life lias hod but one aim, that, to pre
pare for him an alliance with some
princely family of Europe.
It was in 1829, beiuer in Florence,
that Madame Patterson-Bonaparte re
ceived the news of the marriage project
formed between lier son, Jerome Napo
leon Bonaparte, and Miss Williams.—
She wrote immediately to her father
under the impressic n of a first impulse
of indignation and anger. We give lit
erally this first letter, which is as a sum
mary of the whole following corres
pondence:
"Bear Sir:— I have received your let
ter of July 24. At present I am not
able to answer you in length; indeed, I
am unable to write more than three
words at a time. You and the son of
Prince Jerome Bonaparte have heard
me say so often that I considered a mar
riage between him and an American
woman as so much beneath him, that I
would never consent to it at any price.
I cannot but repeat that; if this mar*
riage takas place, I shall declare pub
licly that I have not been consulted;
that my consent has not been asked,
and that my opinion is, and always has
be§n, that he shall always live as a
bachelor unless he can marry becoming
ly among .his kin in Europe.
Let him adjourn the marriage only
one year, and in the interval he will see
the folly to marry Miss Williams.
Signed] E. Patterson.”
This letter is dated Sept. 5, 1829.
Several subsequent letters are gener
ally conceived in the same spirit, except
one .or two, where one feels a sort of in
termittent resignation, nntil the last,
which is dated November 11th, and
wherein reproach, sarcasm and con
tempt is thrown to her family arrows,
which border on cruelty. We extract
of this long correspondence several pas
sages which,’ it is unnecessary to try to
connect, because they express all the
same sentiments under different forms.
We give'them singly according to the
order of the dates:-'
“Florence.. 29th September.—I am
calm now; calm enough clearly to ex
press - my thoughts and wishes. My
solemn, fixed and unalterable resolution
that iny son never shall marry with
toy consent, any woman in America.
_ ily determination, which l have pre
viously made known to you both, ver-
oally audin writing, has always been
for twenty years that he never shall
a any in America. His education has
alwvys had for an aim to prepare him
to reside in Europe, sooner or Jater.—
Mniust never marry unless into one of
'be grunfl European families, and if I
can prevent it, if the authority of a
mother is something, he will nevei de-
8r°y the prospects before Arm for less than
xoOOjOM). That would still be very lit:—
bo to excuse ns, you and me, to assist
“W to marry beneath his rank. The
:? e pjiew of Napoleon has not his equal
w America. He could make a great
Watch in England, where the value of
tos name is known. I myself could
wjve formed twei.ty better marriages
W'U that proposed for him, but I have
tv er forgotten that I had the honor to
j'ave ent.-red into one, which made it
. ^Possible for me to marry a person of
tovwor rank. Poverty, solitude, isole-
ment—three things which I abhor—have
often been my lot; but I would never,
have bad the baseness to marry unwor
thily. I can never consent, and I will
never consent for Jerome to marry Migg
Williams, nor any other American miss.
I have always written to Jerome in that
sense‘find cannot be too much astonish
ed at his lack of judgment in having
ever the thought to sacrifice himself
for bread and meat; for she is not rich
enough to aflowjbim to live in splendor.
I am of opinion that Miss Williams has
too little to compensate for the wrong
which a youDg man allied with the first
families of Europe would do himself, to
bind himself to Baltimore. If he would
die of hunger he would have an excuse.
If she Had 8500,000, so Ihat she could
be taken far from her family,—and that
he eould lire in Italy, for instance, that
might do. But to live with §6,000 a
year, there where she is.—that would
not agree with the advantages which lie
has. I hope that none will speak to me
of affections, because that is a poor rea
son. We all know how one overcomes
the affections of man ' or woman, and
that they are only fools who many for
anything else but for relations or for a
great fortune.”
B ere the letters follow each other
rapidly, and there are always the same
protests. Evidently if Madame Patter-
son-Bonaparte would have had the pow
er, as Napoleon I. in 1805, she would
have broken the engagement of her
son, the same as he had broken that of
his brother. We will endeavor to give
still a few more quotations.
Madame Bonaparte makes ho secret
cf her avarice, which she nevertheless
justifies by the object which she pur
sues, and in the contrary she displays
no false modesty in regard to her quali
ties:
“I am avaricious,” she say,s “that is
a virtue which has been imposed upon
me by my isolation and by necessity;
but my love of money has never blinded
me in regard to the true interests of my
son; it has never hindered me to make
all sacrifices which bis necessities and
his advancement demanded. By means
of steps which I have taken I procured
for him a pension from his family,
which without me he would never have
had. If I would have left him in Amer
ica, he would never have received this
pension, nor the legacy of his uncle. I
have worked to obtain forhi ma d van Urges
of all kiuds. I solicited the interest of
many persons in his favor, and I have
not spared myself in any way for his
future.
My ambition, my beauty, and my in
telligence rendered me unlit to ltve in
America. Europe was the residence
which became us, to me and my son.
My position and bis resembled in noth
ing that of American women aud their
sons; we must have possessed a certain
degree of stupidity and of baseness of
sentiment for Baltimore to have been
agreeable to us.
At his age and with his advantage* he
could marry a great deal better, and
neither my situation nor bis are bad
enough to charge these, people to sup
port him. Money is a good thing and
nobody knows it better than myself,
but even money, unless the amount be
very great, cannot justify anybody to
descend from theiv rank.”
We pass on without stopping at sever
al letters, although there are many cu
rious and characteristic passages. The
authoress says in some place that she
would just as soon look for a husband at
Botany Bay, as to take one in America
after having been the wife of a brother
of au Emperor. She adds that Jerome,
tbe son of a king, has not been treated
as well in the affair of marriage as the
sonsof apothecaries aud shopkeepers
who have married American heiresses.
As we have said, she regrets in sever
al letters the violences to which she
abandoned herself; then she resumes
the tone of irony, and arrives, finally, to
allusions, biting unto cruelty. Her
father reproached her for having left
America for tbe purpose of living
abroad.-
“The less you speak of my removal
from my family,” she answers, “the
better it will be. After my marriage it
would have been absurd to wait, that I
should descend from a prince to a mer
chant and j ou should have sent me to
' Europe, if I would not have went there of
my own accord. America was.no more
. a residence becoming tome, and the
treatment which 1 received even in the
bosom of my family was -not made to
' reconcile me with her.
I am convinced that you think I was
right in separating myself, and that you
have been glad of it. My son was des
tined to live in Europe and I have tried
to inspire into him the ppde and the
ambition which I possess. But he had
neither the one nor the other, and the
efforts which I have made to push him,
has had tlie same effect as to push a
lock on top of a kilh You are penetra
ting enough to comprehend that he
lacks the qualities necessary to bo bril
liant. I know it; but my affection for
him has made me struggle .agains t that
conviction and against his liumbie na
ture. I Jiave labored for yearn to make
ofliim a man of talent and to inspire him
with elevated sentiments, which must
distinguish the race of the greatest ge
nius who has ever lived. I have not
succeeded, God will forgive me.’ 1
The son of Madame Paiterson-Bona-
parte died nine years before his moth
er, who has left her immense fortune to
be divided between her two grandsons.

“The oldest,” says seriously theNew
York Belaid, “is the only legitimate
heir of the Napoleonic dynasty,^ and
when we consider th6 extraordinary
events which have occnrred since a cen
tury,- we think that perhaps a day may
come when an American Bonaparte wiil
ascend the throne cf France.”
Why not the throne of the United
States? There is as much chance f> r
that, if not more.—Cavrrier des Elals- j

BYRON NOTES.
(Laid over from last week.)
A flood of rain fell Monday,
Cotton will not make as much as it
promised a few weeks ago, somo rust
and shedding.
The Hon. J F Sikes came home last-
Friday to spend a few days. He thinks
the legislature will not likely adjourn
before the 20th or 30th inst., nor does
he think the Goldsmith impeachment
trial will necessarily prolong the session,
though the session is already long, he is
of tbe opinion that much benefit will
result to tbe State, ana|the people—;'n
fact, that is tbe most important --legisla
tive sessions held in Georgia for many
years, He is eyidently much enlisted in
the cause of his constituency, contend
ing strongly for economy and retrench
ment.
The diningroom and smoke-house of
Mr. T B Goff were broken into a few
niglti ago,and much.provision, crOcker-
ry and dining furniture purloined and
carried away therefrom. This is the
fourth time the burglars have preyed
upon Mr Goff's culinary department
within the last six months, - and some
times after these breaks he would be
compelled to go to town and purchase
dishes and cutleiy before breakfast-, so
near did they take everything. There
have been twenty-eight burglaries com
mitted in Byron in twenty-four months,
averaging over one burglary per month,
and in a town the population of which
does not exceed 175. Stronger than all
there has not been one burglar eaptiir-
ed yet, however, this does not speak
much for the vigilence and efficiency of
the police.
The gas well at Byron is no longer a
thing of curiosity aud nothing marks
the spot where it was, cave a small heap
of sand and clay. The contractors con
tinued to bore, hoping to reach a more
sufficient supply of the aqueous article,
until they bored one hundred and five
or ten feet, when the auger came in
contact with a rock that it could not
penetrate; hence the job was abandoned.
Tbe council may make another efiovt
to procure water iu the street; It is
currently rnmoied that when the airy or
gasy current was discovered, it was ap
prehended on the part of some, at least
one, of the citizens of Byron that
this escaping air was no little thing af
ter all, so strongly did this idea rest up
on his mind that “night’s deep dark
ness” brought him uo rest; he weared
along through the night on Lis downy
pillow, till three o’clock, and yet no
sleep. He could iorbeav no longer, he
rose as to a sense of duty aud called his
servant “George,” the answer came in a
drowsily slumbering manner “Sir-r-r.’
“Get my Mary mule, ride down town
and examine that well, put your hand
in the gas and see if it is hot, if it is hot
come bace qu ; ck and let me kuow.”
The servant returned after a short ab-
scence, stating that the escaping gas
was perfectly cooL This information
was a source of neeesary relief to him
who had apprehended the gas well was
sure evidence of a burning volcano be
low, that it would soon be emitting from
its bowels a huge quantity of smoke and
melted lava, eqnal to that of Vesn-
vions, he fell back on his pillow, with a
sigh of relief, and slept sweetly the re
mainder of the night. However, it is
held now by men of cool and mature
judgment that there is no danger of an
explosion, and that the Editor of The
Home Journal need not stay away from
Byron any longer, through fear of being
“blown up”
The ladies festival at Byron last
Wednesday evening was a success finan
cially aud socially. - Much praise is
due these ladies for their enterprising
determination to build a new enreb in
Byron.
The Congregational Methodist held
their District meeting ai Society Hill, 8
miles North West, last week, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. The attendance
was very large and the meeting was re
garded aa-quite interesting.
Young men of Byron and community
will have a debate at Waites’ Hall Fri
day night, Ladies and the public are
invited to attend, the subject for
discussion is not announced until the
night of the-debate. A new store will
be opened in Byron in a few days. It
will be a millinery enterprise estab
lished by Mrs. Gaddy, recently of Sontli
Carolina.
The public load from DuPreeville to
Byron, part of the road complained of
recently in the Fort Valley Mirror by
“subscriber," is being put in first rate
order under tbe superintendance of Mr
M. A. Jackson. Subscriber can now
tread this road with safely at night
without “getting in a gully” unless he
be tight.

Editor Home Journal:—
Two weeks have passed since we wrote
you, and nothing of importance bos oc
curred in thac time of. importance to
give you. Since last Friday we have
been having frequent showers, and it is
to be hoped that- Elbert Fagan has at
last had rain. Too late for him to
bring in the “big stalk of corn from the
guano heap, and tell the ‘boys’ his crop
is all like that.”
The summary of the oldest inhabi
tant doesn’t go back to the time when
we have had such cool weather in August.
Cotton is slowly,—only about 50 bales
up to date,—although prices -good.—
Sold yesterday at 10J cts,
Mrs. Henry R. Cape was buried Sun
day,—had been sick some time.
Our Justice court came very near
conflicting in jurisdiction with the
Hon. Ordinary, last Thursday in a
trial of a possessory warrant to obtain
possession of some cattle that had been
estrayed, but our C. J. dismissed the
warrant, which was certoraried
Business is picking up some, which is
gratifying to our merchants who have in
their full stocks.
The Congregational Methodists held
their District Conference at Society Hill
Church in Crawford county Friday and
Saturday. There was a'full attendance
and the prospects of that branch of the
church is bright. L J Thomas of York
was clerk and will I guess give our coun
ty papers something to say about the
.meeting. We know he ought to.
You ought to send Joel Mann, Brun
son or some other good man up here to
camp out and talk up the Fair. “Let
them bring their supplies” They could
do .some good. There has been no mar
riages, fires or other destructive elements
visited our community since last we wrote
lyish we could have something of the
kind to vary the monotony.
Say to our Sunday Advertiser, for the
present we will be heard from - .

To Farmers,
Common sense and observation will
prove the following to be true, if ad
hered to:
First, cotton sa ; d to have the rust,
so-called, nine timesrout-of ten is load
ed with bolls, and for want of plough
ing dies in maturing the heavy crop of
early bolls. The plant first sends out
snrface roots which collect as they go,
sap or plant-food. As the length of
these roots is limited they soon begin
to become hard and dry, and fail to
give furtbeitJioiirishnient to the plant.
The plant then must matnre from the
leaves, bark aud other substances, which
is death to the plant and early bolls. —
Cotton requires a certain amount of cul
tivation to cause the plant to sprout and
send forth a healthy stalk, and then it
must be stlri ed again to send forth the
first crop of bolls, and then a third time,
to send forth the late crop. By not
keeping the ground properly stirred,, it
becomes as a close and crowded room of
people; the life-preserving qualities of
tbe air soon become exhausted, and if
uo fresh air is admitted would soon die,
as d( >es cotton when not properly stirred ;
for it breaks up these old roots, admits
fresh air and moisture into the boil, and
the plants soon put out new roots
and begin to grow again, and the so-
called rust is seen no more.

The End of the Wobld.-A lecture de
livered at the Berlin Dnivercity some
three months ago, by Professor Dubois-
Reymond, bears the ominous title, “The
End of Our World” and says that every
movement upon onr planet, with excep
tion of the ebb and flod^’which are caused
by the attraction of the moon, is caused
by solar heat. As, however, the sun loses
eveiy year a portion of his caloric, sci
ence has lately come to the conclusion
that he will not exist as an emitter of
warmth longer than fori seventeen mil
lion years to come. During that space of
time onr earth will get colder and cold
er, in proportion as the solar heat shall
diminish. The ice will advance from
tbe poles to the equator; the earth’s
population will gradually recede before
the advancing glaciers; the sun will be
come less and less luminous, until he
will present the appearance of a dark
red ball, and finally ice will annihilate
all vitality on t nr planet.

Addresses were made by David Conroy,
