r Maj. J. C. Giuffis, of the firm of
Wadsworth & Co.,has just re turned from
the North, where he has been engaged in
baying up a stock tor the coming season.
Though the trade of this bouse, since ita
establishment, will compare favorably
with that of any other house in Georgia,
engaged in the same business, the stock
io store and arriving is by far the
most extensive and varied ever brought
to this section. In Hardware, Tinware,
House-Furnishing Goods, Agricultural
Implements, Paints, Oils, Ac., the best
only have been brought out by the Major,
who selected the entire stock in person,
not overlooking the simplest article.
Country merchants, planters and oth-
« who have been sending their orders
to other markets for articles kept by
these gentlemen will not only save mon
ey by ordering from this house, but will
find the articles of the best quality and
manufacture.
Customers will find attentive clerks al

the Council say to this suggestion ?

Ballous’s Monthly Magazine for
October.—The appearance of Ballou’i
Magazine for October reminds us that
the evenings are growing longer and that
the people will read to occupy their
leisure hours. New such a magazine
Balou’s is just what is wanted at the fire
side. It contains so many good stories,
so much poctiy of real merit, and
many engravings of interest, and all for
15 cents single copies, or $1,50 per year,
that we do not wonder at its circulation
being the largest of auy magazine in the
country. It deserves it, for it is enter
prising and full of life. It is for sale at
all periodical stores in the country.—
Thomas & Tolbot, 05 Congress Street,

With the captnre of the French Em

ful public career of one of tho most re-
markabio men of the Nineteenth Century.
For twenty-two years he has loomed up
before the oyes of the world as tho graml
central figure iu European politics. A
nod from him disturbed the cutire con
tinent. At a word from liis imperial lips
embattled millions rushed into the field
aud the thunder of his artillery shook
the thrones of Europe to their very
foundations. And yet this autocrat was
not born great; nor was greatness thrust
upon him. His career was planned by
himself ; his achievements were executed
by himself; aud lie is alike responsible
for the glory of his successes and the hu
miliation of hi3 defeats. The architect
of his fortunes, he was, at the same time,
the author of liis ruin.
them that it was bnt the beginning of a
general -revolutionary movement Tho
E )t was discovered and crashed, and
venturer arrested. He was sent to
Paris. Louis Phillippe felt that he could
afford to be magnanimous. He present
ed the conspirator with three thousand
dollars and shipped him to New York.—
He remained in the United States several
months? and many contradictory stories
are told of his adventures and personal
habits. It Mens to be pretty dear that
he would not pay Ids hotel bills, and that
he led a dissipated life, but, at the same
time, he continued his studies and con
fidently proclaimed bis intention to oc*
cupy the throne of his nude. The ill
ness of his mother recalled him to Switz
erland, and he returned to that country
shortly before her death. In 1839 he
published the “Idees Nspoleonienness,”
a political work whioh contributed much
to the revolution of 1848.
HIS FAILURE AT BOULOGNE.
In 1840 he made another unsuccessful
attempt, landing, at Boulogne with a
handful of men and a tame eagle, ho was
driven into the water, captnred, tame
eagle and all, and sent to Paris under
guard. Louis Philippe behaved wonder-
fuly wclL He had tho adventurer tried
by tho House of Peers and sentenced to
perpetual imprisonment. The castle of
Ham, lieer tho Belgian frontier, was se
lected os tho place of confinement. In
this quiet retreat Louis Napoleon passed
six years. Ho devoted himself to politi
cal studies and wrote several works of a
decided political tendency, and of con
siderable ability. Bnt ho soou wearied
of his confinement, and the result was
that, one fine morning, Louis Philippe
was startled by the information that his
prisoner had escaped. It was true. Dis

the prison made his way to the Belgian
frontier, and in a few days uade|his ap
pearance in London, where ho created
some excitement among literary meu and
politicians.
THE REVOLUTION OF 1848.
Than came the great revolution of 1848.
Franco declared for a Republic. Louis
Napoleon was elected a Deputy to tho
National Assmbly. Great opposition
was manifested nud he wrote a very art
ful letter tendering his resignation. A
reaction followed. He was re-electod by
four departments, and took his seat in
the National Assembly. The repnblican
nature of his writing and the influence of
his name built up a strong party. He
was elected President of the Republic by
a majority of over 4,000,000 votes.
THE COUP D’ETAT.
. For three veors President Bonaparte
remained at the head of the Republic.—
He schemed and plotted all tho time in
order to gain tho confidence of tho peo
ple. But opposition was rampaut—
Nothing could conciliate it. The Presi
dent finding re-election impossible de
termined that he would carry out his long
cherished plan. Everything was quietly
rangod and, ou the 2d of December,
1851, the coup d etat was an accomplished
fact. Ou tho morning of that day ho

I0uA French paper says tho Prussians
aro wonderfully well informed of every
thing that goes on, even to the smallest
details. Borne days ago a regiment of
Uhlans entered a village through which
the French urmy had passed four and
twenty hoars before. The French had
with great difficulty obtained 3,000
rations from the country people, the
Prussians required 25,000; they were told
that it was impossible to comply with
this demand, and that by completely des
poiling tho inhabitants it would be im
possible to colloct more than a quarter of
what was claimed. Tho commandant
pulled some notes ont of his pocket and
looked through them. “Where
Shultz ?’’ said he. “ Here am I, com
mandant,” replied on honest fellow, red
dening with pride at finding himself
known to so powerful a person. “Yon
have three cows, and 100 hens. I know
where yon have hidden jour oats, you
withdrew your flour yesterday. Be so
good os to fetch all that, and be quick
about it.” Thus the commandant tilled
all the inhabitants one after the other,
and proved to them that he was as well
acquainted as themselves with their re
sources. It is needless to add. that the
45,000 rations were made np in an hoar’s
time. The Prussians act in this manner
everywhere, thanks to the skill and num
ber of their spies; and this explains how
such great numbers always seem .well
provided with food.

The father of Lonis Napoleon
Louis Bonaparte, the third brother of
tho first Napoleon. In common with the
rest of the family, he stood in awe oi
his magnificent elder brother, and, reali
zing his dependent position, suffered
himself to bo swayed to and fro, like a
pendulum, at his will. Napoleon forced
him to marry Hortense Beaulmrnais, the
beautiful and giftedd aughter of bis royal
spouse the Empress Josephine. Louis
and Hortense were already engaged to
different parties and viewed the match
with mutual repugnance. But the iron
will of Nnpoleou never bent before such
trilling obstacles, and ho commanded the
marriage. There was no appeal. Hor
tense broke her engagement with the
gallant Duroc, and Louis sorrowfully
yielded to the necessity of the occasion.
They were married, and Louis accepted
the throne of Holland. But tho splen
dors of royalty only gilded the misery of
tho unhappy pair. There was continual
strife between them, and it has been as
serted that the fair Hortense proved
false to a marriage vow, which was in
itself false, and lavished her smiles aud
her favors upon a prominent Dutch
Admiral. The story may have been a
foul slander, but it is certain that when
her third child, Louis Napoleon Bona
parte, the subject of this sketch, was
born, tho husband of Hortense was more
snprised than gratified, and would not
have recognized him as his son had it not
been forJ.hu urgent recommendation of
his august brother.
HIS JUVENILE CAREER,
Hortense and her husband separated
forever soon after this event, and Lonis
Napoleon, two years after his birth,
which occured iu 1808, was baptised by
Cardinal Fescli, Napoleon nud Maria
Louisa acting as god-parents. Louis
Napoleon and his brother were tho only
heirs to tho French throne until the
birth of the King of Rome, and were
consequently very important personages.
Rut the star of Napoleon was suddenly
obscured by the dark cloud of an evil
dostiny, aud, after the eventful Hundred
Days, the Empire was shattered to frag
ments, and Waterloo. When the illus
trious captii e left his capital for tho last
time, Louis Napoleon, .then seven years
old, embraced him, and even then a
vogue longing for revenge may have
filled tho boy’s mind and decided the
career, which, in after years was to give
him sovereign sway and masterdom.
HE BECOMES A REVOLUTIONIST.
The Revolution of 1830 came and with
it a momentary gleam of hope to the
Bonapartes. But Louis Phillippe re
fused Louis Napoleon’s request that he
might bo allowed to enter the French
army, and the youthful adventurer re
turned to Italy to take part in the at
tainted revolution in Romaga, in 1831.
France and Austro crashed the move
ment, and Lonis Napoleon barely suc
ceeded in escaping from the country in
the disguise of a footman. More intri
gues followed without any important
results, and Louis Napoleon found him-
seif after tbe death of his brother aud the
Duke DeReiehstadt, tho heir to the
throne of the Bonaparte*. He gave him
self up to political and military studies.
A work from his pen, published in 1832,
entitled “Reveries Pohtiqaes,” declared
that France could only be restored to her
former glory and prosperity by a mem
ber of tiie Bonaparte family—that
other could unite tho development of
Republican ideas with tho military'
of tho people. He also publish
“Manual ol Artillery,” stud to be a val
uable contribution to military science.
A blow
silenced opposition. No man dared to
raise his voice. Tho usurper obtained
control of the army; proclaimed himself
Emperor “ by grace of God and the will
of the French people,” and, after dis
charging his mistress, married the beauti
ful Eugenie, the daughter of the Count
ess of Montijo. Then followed an’olliance
with England. Tho adventurer who had
once paced tho streets of London as o
special policeman, was the guest ot Vic
toria and Albert, and received from tho
hands of the English Queen the Order of
the Garter, llespectablo meu wondered
and acquiesced. The Empire was peace.
Order reigned. Money was abundant,
and France moved rapidly onward in
civilization and prosperity. * United with
England aud Turkey, he humbled the
pride of Russia, and, iu 1859, he con
ducted the brilliant Italian campaign in
person, giving Austria a blow from which
she has not yet recovered.

THE DECLINE ASD FALL OF THE EMPIRE.
But here tho most brilliant chapters of
this romance end. The Mexican business
of 1861 was the first downward step.—
Louis Napoleon declared his intention
reconstruct the Latin races iu America,
a project which ho thought feasible in
consequence of the great Southern rebel
lion. But affairs took an uuexpected
turn. The cause of the Uuion triumph-
Maxmiliau was nimble to hold his
i, and tho result was disaster, defeat
and disgrace. This failure shook popu
lar confidence in Napoleon’s iufalibility.
Opposition again manifested itself. Go u-
ciliation was tho policy, and hence the
Plebiscitums. An incurable disease fasten
ed upon him and life became a horrible
burden. No wonder that he made
takes. Over tho Rhine a new danger
menaced him. Tho States of tho North
German Confederation were combining
together and ho frit that only a bold
stroke of successful audacity could save
him. The first thing needed was a pre
text and that was found in the candidacy
of Holienzolcm for the Spanish throne.
Every ono knows how flimsy was this
excuse for war. Thou camo the declara
tion of hostilities against Prussia, and
after a campaign of one month—a cam
paign of unparalleled disaster to Franco
—the battle of Sedan accomplished his
overthrow.
We may well ask what next? Bnt it
is useless to speculate upon the rapidly
shifting present. The public career of
Napoleon is probably at an end. He
great, and posterity will give him due
credit. He was a crimual and he has
suffered for it But the story of his life
is yet to be written. Tbe record will
be blaek indeed, but it will be relieved
by somo spleuded services aud illustrious
achivoments.

GOING TO SLEEP.
The light is fading down the eky,
The shadows grow aud multiply,
I hear the thrnah’* evening song.
But I have borne with toil and wrong
So long, so long 1
Dim dreams my drowsy aenaea drown—
So, darling, Idea my eyelid* down.
My life’s brief spring went wasted by,
My summers ended fruitlessly;
I learned to banger, strive and wait—
I found you,—lovo oh, happy fate 1
Bo late, so late!
Now all my fields axe turning brown—
Bo, darling, kiss my eyelids down ;
Oh, blessed sleep! oh, perfect rest!
Thus pillowed on your faithful breast;
Nor life nor death is wholly drear,
O, tender heart since yon are here.
So dear^aodearl
Sweet love, my aoul * sufficient crown!
Now, darling, Usa my eyelids down!

less and impatient a nature to remain
long engaged in such peaceful pursuits.
In 1836 he suddenly made his appearanco
