LOUIS Napoleon's OWN STORY OF Ills MCAPfl FROM
THE FORTRESS OF HAM, iN 184(J.
Tlio following is a translation of a hitherto un
published letter written by Louis Nnpoleon Just
nftor his cscrtpe from the Fortress of Alim, to tho
editor of a newspaper to which lio had contrib
uted during his imprisonment! *
My I)kar Mr, Dnoaomm The desire of onco

and courage than at Strasbourg and Uognc, fori

and a failuro would have boon no longer endura

$1,250,000, and Raymond is still at its head.
Horaco Greeley started tho Tribune without

Noi having been willing to establish any com

disguiso was, of course, necessary. Now* as
several rooms of the building I inhabited vfsre

Charles Thclin procured a blouse and

were ut work Charles took some drink to them
in a room, so as to get thorn out of my way; he
was also to call one keeper up stairs, while tho
doctor was talking with the others.
Meanwhile, I was hardly out of my room when
I was accosted by a workman who followed mo,
taking me for one of .his comrades. At the foot
of tho staircase I found myself front to front
with a keeper. Luckily I put the board before
his face and reached tho court, always holding
the board between mysoli and tho sentinel and
those whom I met.
When pussing boforo tho first sentinel I let
fall my pipe, lmt I stopped to pickup the pieces.
Then I met tho officer of the guard, but lie was
reading a lotter and did not notice mo. Tho
soldiers of the post at the gate seemed to wonder
at my dress; tho drummer in particular turned
several times to look.
Meanwhile, tho orderlies opent 1 tho door and
I found myself outside the fortross; there I met
two workmen who were coining towards mo,

a kandsomo annual income. Charles A. Dana
was. for several years, managing editor of the
TYibune. Ho was subsequently editor of the
Chicago Republican, but did not succeed. He
oaino hack to New York, and, in company with
others, bought the Sun, which, under his man
agement, is already a groat success, Tho circu
lation of the Sun, on tlio first of January, I860,
was 31,000. It is now 02,000, and growing rap
idly. The Sun is a two cent paper. The profits
on the circulation are very small, of courso, but
it R eta plenty of advertising at 2G to 50 cents
per line. The Now York peoplo advertiise liber
ally and pay big prices. Honoo the Sun, which
could not bo published in Cincinnati, is here
very profitable. Business men believe in adver-
ing and to this, in largo part is duo the extraor
dinary growth of tho city.
Tho Messrs. Brooks, of the Express, are also
selt-iuade men. I believe they started the Ex

who started the Post', but W. C. Bryant lias

under the relief law, ho held, that a contract
made before the war was a contract to pay tho
specific' number of dollars therein mentioned,
and that though ho was bound under the ruling
of the Suprome Court to admit testimony as to
tho amount of property owned by the debtor
whon the contract was inado, how much lio had
lost, in what manner, etc., us is provided in tho
relief law, yet, as to the effect this testimony
was to have, he would not, until further controll
ed by tbo Supreme Court, allow an old debt to
be scaled upon the ground that the debt r had
lost his property, or other such ground; that he
could see no equity in it, and uuloss there was a
plea of fhflurc of consideration, or some similar
one, the reduction of the amount of tho debt
was in violation of tlio Federal Constitution.
Affidavits filed by debtors for the purpose of re
opening judgments under the above law, were
summarily dismissed and the levying officer or

Wirr CiiAsr. was not Nominated.—A writer,
paid to bo C. L. Vallandigliam, says in tho
Dayton Ledger, in an article on the way to run
t. e Democratic party to victory:
“We want no such fear and trembling, no
such timidity and utter absence of common
sense as led the Now York Convention to reject
the only nomination that would have placed
success within our grasp. Let us have no more
such cowardice and blundering.”
This refers, of course, to the fact that Chase
was the candidate whoso nomination would have
given tlia Democratic party a chance to win.—
And a mistake in judgment by Mr. Vallandig-
ham caused the defeat of Chase. There was
one hour in. which, if Vallindigham lmd not
dono any tliiing, Chase would have been nomin
ated. Seymour’s declination, after he had been
nominated by McCook, was made in good faith,
and would have been received as final if he had
not been overwhelmed by Vallindigknm’s furi
ous declaration thut tho public safety demanded
the nomination of Horatio Seymour. If Sey
mour had not been nominated just then, the
nomination of Chaso would liavo taken place
within an hour. Ask Alex. Long if that is not
so. — Cincinnati Commercial.
A little later Charles, who lmd engaged a car

Tiie Death of one of tuh. Randolphs.—The
XulUmal Intelligencer of tho 27tli ultimo, contains
the following notice of the death of one of tho
Virginia Randolphs, a descendant of Pocahon
tas, and one who over thirty years ago caused
great excitement by the performance of an act
—tho pulling of General Jackson’s noso—which
caused him to flee the country, and from the
evil effects of which, as affecting his fortunes in
life, ho never recovered:
“ Robert B. Randolph, who had tho misfor
tune to be dismissed from the navy by General
Jackson, without good cause, and who pulled
the General’s nose in vindication of his honor—
Randolph’s and not Jackson’s —died in this city
on Tuesday last, at tho age of 78 years. The
pulling took place in tho cabin of a steamer
which stopped at Alexandria oil its passage down
the river. Randolph went aboard, marched up
to Jackson, who supposed he was confronted by
a friend till the thing was done. Randolph got
beyond the jurisdiction of tho county police be
fore a process could bo issued, and escaped ar
rest
The cities of the District were in a foam over
tho indignity, and the whole country, in fact,
was for a time in a tempest, the triumphant
Jackson party feeling that its own nose had
been twisted by this audacious descendant of
Pocahontas. General Van Ness, then Mayor of
Washington, sent u solemn message to the
Councils on the event, and the Boards responded
in a solemn resolution of condolence and indig
nation. Randolph was a fugitive for a couple of
years, and has since passed his life mostly in
this District. The act maimed his prospects,
and ho lived and died in poverty. He was a
cousin of John Randolph, and leaves a wife and
three daughters and one sou. Floyd guvo him
the superintendence of the Armory iu this city,
when lio was Secretary of War, but tho act
aboard the steamer at Alexandria, some thirty
years before, followed him, and Buchanan or
dered his dismissal. ■
“Randolph was a lieutenant in the navy when
dismissed, and had done good servico under
Decatur. He was a high-spirited, intrepid man,
and maintained his dignity and his character to
tho last. The Intelligencer defended him when
he was dismissed from the service, vindicating
his character as a brave and upright man. _ The
scene when Jackson, who was then President,
found himself with a pulled nose, is described
by those who saw it as one of stupendous rage.
Gen. Lee’s Ovation at Baltimore.—Describ
ing Gen. Lee’s reception at Baltimore, the Ga
zette says:
“ Tho ladios passed from the west side of the
hall over to the platform, passing tho General,
who shook tho hand of each cordially, and in
return was complimented by all the ladies, a
large number of whom saluted him with kisses.
After tho presentation was over, the General,
escorted by Mayor Banks, left tho building, and
on reaching the sidewalk was greeted with up
roarious cheering, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed among tho largo throng that had as
sembled at the doorway. After liberating him
self from the many friends that continued press
ing forward to shako his hand, the General en
tered a carriage and was driven to tho residence
of Samuel H. Tuggort, Esq., whose guest he is
during his sojourn here, tho crowd tallowing tho
enrriago for several squares, cheering loudly.
Previously, General Lee had read an address
to the business men. Upon concluding, tho au
dience again warmly applauded, ancl on the
General resuming liis seat, cheer after cheer rent
the air, and hats and handkerchiefs were
waived from all portions of tho hall. It was a
scene of genuine enthusiasm not often witnessed.
Before this, whon Gen. Loo went to the hall, as
ho ascended tho stairway ho was greeted with
threo cheers by tho multitude, who stood around
respectfully with uncovered heads. When he
was introduced there arose a perfect storm of
applause, which continued uninterruptedly for
several moment*.” >

‘ ‘ Aaron Alpeorlv. ”—It appears from the
following which we clip from the Savannah News,
that this great “ Wahoo" is among tho “strong
minded” of Massachusetts, dwelling and sxcdliny
tliore in amity and love:
“The advocates of woman suffrage had a
hearing before the Massachusetts Legislature on
Thursday last, when they brought forward as
their spokesman R. James Freeman Clarke, D.
D., the well known reform advpciating clergyman,
ex-Congressman George F. Hoar, of Worcester,
brother of the New Attorney General, and tho
famous Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, tho colored re-
constructionist, who, says the correspondent of
the New York. Times, * niado music somewhat of
the discordant order tojbo sure, down in Georgia
during the. Reconstruction times.’ Alpooria
drew his argumont from tho assertion which ho
made that the women of this oountry already
had the right to vote given them in the fifteenth
articlflfof the amendment to the Constitution.
“Has Gen. Grant got no foreign mission for
tho great Wahoo of tUo Ogoecheos; or are tho
strong-minded women of Boston unwilling to bo
deprived of his society. Alpooria is a sly dog
and a practical frce-lover.’’
A Beautiful Extract.—Wo publish below
the closing paragraph of tho beautiful salutatory
of Major Giles M. Hillyor, in assuming editorial
chargeBO^L the Vicksburg Times:
“To the South, the dream of politics! inde
pendence is over. Tho only independence wo
can now obtain is that of character and efficiency
in the ‘straggle of life—not tho strifes for pecu
lation \iahd speculation—but for the honest re
wards orrabor, thought, energy, enterprise and
skill. With a soil rich as Eden’s garden, a cli
mate as lnwpriant as the tropics, and far more
healthy -than the North, a land inviting the im
migrant * to come and partake of its blossoming,
ami a sooiety that welcomes cordially the honest
man who is willing to take up with us the crossos
of li/e, and look forward to the crown of futuro
prosperity, why should the South despair? No
storms of adversity, no torrents of radicalism,
no wild Lwinds of fanaticism, can permanently
injure iffj After the storm, comes sunshine; af
ter tho shower, comes tho rainbow.
President Davis - Niece.—Tho New Orleans
Picayune says:
The Stato 5 wide of MisRissippians has been
much gratiilea by the award of tne Santini gold
medal at the gtate Fair, to little Lucy Stamps,
granddaughter of Gov. Humphreys, and grand
niece of Jefferson Davis.
Tho award was made without the slightest
knowledgwpn the part of the committee of tho
authorship of the piece, or, indeed, of tho rela-
af the competitors to fchoeo dis-
hages. It wns a tribute to tho
ity which, when found out,

ceived honors for ’ jjoficienoy in studies.
of wet weathor, when the
vainly for relief thev put
in, to see how thoy like it.
tf the next “great moral idea” of tlm party
that rWi running this government, is to be a war
with England, or a War w ith Kpain, -on some
dispute that COuhl be honorably settled without
an appeal to arms,— it maybe as well to have an
understanding with them, on some points, which
are not apt to bo taken into account, before it is
too late.
If the war is to bo with England, will Mr.
Senator Chuudlor und his Mieliigun friends coiuo
and help us to protect our seaboard cities, which
will ho then exposed to attack from tlio greatest
naval power in tho world ? We do not want
them to run oft' to Canada, whero there is noth
ing to fight. If they really want to boo war,
Boston harbor, New York bay, the Delaware,
tho Chesapeake, and the Potomac, in ull human
probability will be be the pluecs where they will
see it soonest. Tho British Lion is not going
out to Michigan to bark or bite.
If wo are to have another conscription, are
the rich and tho well-to-do to lmvo the privilege
of buying up substitutes,—while the poor man,
tho laborer, the mechanic, and others of that
class, must, as heretofore, go to the front and bo
food for powder ?
Are* the Loyal League Clubs to have nil the
fat Army and Navy contracts? Is the Navy De
partment going to buy up all the old ships and
steamors “truly loyal” Tom, Dick, or Horry
may have to sell, in order to “a vigorous prose
cution of the war,”—paying therefor, as of yore,
three, four, or five times us much as they are
actually worth ?
Is Martial law to be re-proclaimed,—the liber
ty of the press suppressed,—newspaper offices,
not in accord with tho powers that bo, to be re-
garrisoned with soldiers,—public meetings put
down, with a rovival of arbitrary arrests, the
seizure of private papers, oto./etc. ?
Or,—if tlio war is to bo in behalf of Cuba,
and Cuban annexation, aro tho negroes there to
be enfranchised, so as to send another lot of
let-bagecrs to Congress, nominally in the
narho of “ human liberty,” but iu reality to help
the Republican party to prolong its power?
Finally, oul of whose pocket is the money to come,
to pay for all this? will tho bond-holders con
sent to have their greenbacks taxed, to foot the
bill,—or must tho burthen be placed, ns usual,
on tho labor and industry of the country?
There are a good many other queries that
might bo put to tho madmen who are thus work
ing up “ the next war,”—but theso will do for
the present.— New York Repress.
Secret of Sprague’s Power. —Tho correspon
dent of the Now York World, alluding to the
Spraguo-Abbott embroglio, in which tho former
sailed the latter a “puppy dog,” and tho latter
wore (in a Pickwickian sense) tlmt he would
hold Sprague to a strict account “ outside the
Senate,” says generally of the affair:
The whole affair to-day was a beggarly per
formance, and disgraceful to tho last degree. If
anybody bud tbo best, it was Sprague, because
’ie wns wickedly strong iu the frequent use of
pitliuts. He was as cool os ice, and as mad in
side as a March bare. Theso attacks certainly
make a profound sensation, not because Sprague
is strong—for he only lias egotism, pluck, and
vacuity to trade on—but the citadel ho assails is
rotten to the core, und any republican can scare
the Radical Senate, if he would just turn States
evidence as Sprague lir.s.

“Plantation manners," in ante-bellum times,
used to be a favorite theme with tlio Puritan
press, whenever they wanted to arraign any ir
regularities of speech, in Congress, on the part
of gentlemen from the South. But what were
“plantation manners,” compared with the man
ners of Rhode Island Senator and his “truly
loval" collogue, Mr. Abbott, from reconstructed
North Carolina, have been exhibiting iu public
within a few days past? Indulging in billings
gate, which even the lowest groggery in New
York would be ashamed of, und making believe,
or their friends making believe for them, that
they wore going to settle their mutual grievances
with an appeal to “ the code," which likewise
used to be execrated as a relic of “plantation
manners,” they have made a spectacle of them
selves of which Puritanism, which has a monopo
ly of “all tho decency,” has reason to be peeu-
liaily proud. —N. Y. Express.
Advertising.—Tho New York Tribune has an
article on advertising as a rneaus of keeping
business men afloat in these uncertain times,
which concludes with this most excelleutadvice:
“Bo sure of one thing: whatever you have to
sell, there are many peoplo ready to buy, even
in the most depressed seasons. Find them out;
show them your wares; persuade them to buy of
you rather than of another. "When buyers are
reluctant, sellers must be active. It is neither
cheap nor Rensihlo to sit still behind your coun
ter and wait for tho hustle of trade to revive.—
When business is dull, that is the time to adver
tise. In the first place, that is when you most
need to advertise; and in the second place, that
is when people devote the most ot their time to
reading the newspapers, and when your adver
tisement consequently is most generally seen.
African Guako.—A traveling correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel, says:
At Union Point I learned, through Di\ Spoor,
a discover}' has been made which created a great
excitement, particularly in the mind of the ne
groes. On emptying out a hag of guano a hu
man hand was discovered in the contents, which,
from all appearances was that of a colored per
son. How in the world the hand got there was
the absorbing question. A negro man on look
ing at it, remarked: ‘-Well, gcminen, confound
my skin, if I got any more use for do * Yankees;
da suunt live niggers here to make cotton, and
to make cotton for demselves, and. da can t send
no more live, now da got to seudiu dead niggers
here to make cotton. I's. got no more to do
w'id doin, certain dut I ain’t. .
Hon Georoe H. Pendleton and Reconstruc
tion.—The Columbus (Ohio) Enquirer, of the
19th instant, says:
The St. Louis Republican makes an editorial
commentary upon the alleged fact that that Hon.
George H. Pendleton, in connection with prom
inent Democrats of New York, had advised the
people of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to
“have nothing to do with the question of recon
struction as proposed iu the recent enactment ol
ConcrcHS.'' Tli.i foot being erroneous, oi course
the commentary foils to tho ground. Mr. Pen
dleton lias tendcrod the Slates in question no
advice. He believes they ore the best judges of
their own situation, and nothing would induce
him to be in antagonism to them, or to offer ad-
vice to iufluance their decision.
Pluck.—Near Russellville, in Monroe county,
(says tho RmU Southerner,) resides a man named
karvall, who lost a leg on a Virginia battle-field
in tho late war. A few days since ive were rid

“Look,” saidmv companion, “he is a man,
Since the organization of the United Htates
Government, Georgia bus been represented iu
tlio cabinet and on the United Mates Supreme
Court bench by the following gentlemen, and
she would have had a President in tho person of
W. H. Crawford, but just boforo the election by
the U. K. House of Representation, ho was
stricken down with paralysis, and Mr. Clay,

Mr. Harvall was plowing—opening cotton
rlfigen—und stepped ri" cheerltilly, if not as
easily, with his wooden leg, as though it were a
natural limb. , . , ,
“Isn’t ho a man?" Aye, Ins
lived beyond the battle-field; and ll the little
boys who plantod the seed for him, while he
plowed, were his sons, they have as much right
to be proud of him as when he bared his bosom
in his country's battles.
Death of TvtLon Mitchell.—This colored
man, formerly a barber in our town, died on
Saturday afternoon last, after a lingering llluess
of nearly one year. Taylor was ft good, polite
boy and made friends by his politeness and un
assuming manners among all those who patro
nised him. Ho was bom in this town about the
year 1844 or 1845; and was tho pronerty of Dr.
Singleton. Ho leaves a wife.manyfriends and
relatives to mourn his loss. He died tnftlUtn-
umphs of a living faith, perfeotly sensible up to

farewell. Peace to his ashes. -DaNomga Stgi\aL
Gen. Roiw. E. Lee.—This noble gentleman
and groat soldier has recently emerged some
what from tlio retirement and reticence he has
observed since the closo of the war, aud has ap
peared in the city of Baltimore, where he read a
business paper to a crowded audience, relating to
the affairs of some railroad in Virginia. There
was a storm of enthusiasm when ho appeared in
tho Hull, and the peoplo stood in tho street with
uncovered heads us he passed. When did any
despot on earth, though surrounded with bayo
nets, and speaking iu u voice of absolute tyranny,
over command anything approaching such a
gyand demonstration oi' real power, founded in
the hearts <?f tho people. Long live liberty, aud
long live Lee.—Montgomery Advertiser.

Attention, Constable*. —The following act of
the General Assembly of Georgia, approved
March 18th, 1809, is published for information:
Au Act to extend the Jurimllotion of Constables iu tho
several counties of the State.
lie it resolved, etc., That from and after the
passage of this cat, it shall bo lawful for any
Constable of the several counties of the State to
executo and return any process issued by a Jus
tice of the Peace or Notary Public of said coun
ties; but ho should return the process to a Jus
tice of tho Peace residing in the militia district
where the defendant or defendants resides at tho
time of the issuing of said process.
Selma, Rome £ Dalton Railroad. —Tho Rome
Commercial says:
We paid a visit to the headquarters of Messrs.
Fort A Priutup, about three miles from the city,
and found them pushing forward the grading ou
tlio above road with great energy. They have
about 150 hands at work, aud from general ap
pearances they are well lod, and inado to have a
proper regard*for cleanliness. Tho grading for
the first five miles from the city is very heavy,
hut after they get through with that, the balance
of the route, with tho exception of three mile*-,
is comparatively light We wish them a speedy
trip to Dalton.
Rampageous.—Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun,
still continues his fusilado against the President-
General. Hero is the latest specimen:
“Is it not high time that the masses of the
people, who neither seek nor hold office, should
labor for the return of the good old times of Re
publican simplicity, when statesmen felt a stain
as a wound; when the dispenser of patronage
would scoru to feed his poor relations from tho
public crib; aud when a President would cut off
his right hand ero it should sign the commission
of a man who hud bestowed upon him a gift?"
Dangerous.—Ever siuce his rejection of a
small sop from Government, Dana, the editor of
tho New York Sun, has grown more and more
venomous. Here is his latest spirit photograph
of the President-General who wished to cheapen
him into a praiser:
‘ ‘ Grant is to be pitied. Poor fellow, he’s like
the yellow dog iu the menagerie—he is too small
for a liou, he don’t look like a tiger, and nobody
wants to soe a dog, his cabinet don’t suit the peo
ple, his appointments don’t please the Senate,
politicians impose on him.”
Death of Col. Sumner J. Smith.—We regret
to learn that this able aud esteemed gentleman
diod at his residence in Banks county last Sat
urday. Ho had been in bad health for some
time. Col. Smith was a man of fine ability and
exalted personal worth. He served in the Geor
gia Legislature about 1859, from Towns coun
ty, and was ardently devoted to. the Confedera
cy, and raised a regiment early in the war His
health failed, and he returned home, where he
lms led a life of close retirement .ever since.—

One of the old crew of the Alabama, who is
now on board the Virginia at East Boston, says
that the yaet Deerhound, which rescued Scmraes
and his officers after tho vessel was sunk by the

tender of the Alabama, nud on board at the tune,

Dissatisfaction in Hayti. —It is said that
great dissatisfaction exists in theHaytien capital
at the idea of a colored representative of the U.

and proposes thut the black diplomatists from
Washington shall be sont to England and Franoe
