The great German poet, Uh- land, has sung * The Pig* in his happiest style. “How muen more graceful are the rapid movements of the iufontile pig than the elumsy gambols of tho Iamb!. Yet the latter have been consecrated to poetry for ages, while the former pass unnoticed. How bravely does the mother defend her offsprings and how marked the filial affection which they display in return; bat the first is regarded as mere maternal instinct, and the latter only as a selfish homage to the source d$ sustenance 1 “Dear as ia thereat paying pig he is alike the friend and idly of the Anglo- Saxon. His voice is ereiywhere -blended with the accents of that power whieh, in the lan guage of Webster, *has dotted over the whole surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts, whose morning drum-heat, following the sun, and keeping company with the hoars, circles the earth daily with one con tinuous and broken strain of the martial airs of England.’ “Eloquently, most eloquently, does that most beadtiftd of writers, the gentle “Elia,’ expatiate on *110831 pig.* “Behold him' while ho is doing’! It seemeth rather a refreshing warmth than a scorching heat that he is so passive to. How equable he tnrneth round the string! Now'he is just done. To see the .extreme sensibility of that tender age: he hath wept out his pretty eyes—radiant jellies—shooting stare. “See him in the dish—his second cradle: how meek bo tieth S Wonldst thou have this innocent grow np to the grossness and indocil ity which too often accompany mature swine- hood? Ten to one he would have proved a glutton—a sloven—an. obstinate, disagreeable animal—wallowing^n all manner of filthy con versation. From these sins he is happily snatched away!’ “Not to bo invidious, who, we may ask, has not joined with unusual thankfulness in the pre liminary grace over the foirly-brewned spare- rib, the well cored ham, the nicely-seasoned sausage?.. What an important question to many. When are yon going to kill ? what an important era, but cheering day! Not a paper do we open that does not record tho price of pork, and despatches transmit the rise and fall of baeon.

Take that away and a Napier might toll his ‘boys’ to ‘sharpen their cutla*ses in vain.” Emperor Napoleon’s Campaign. Tbe following extraordinary intelligence is 'given by a recent letter from Paris. If it prove correct Louis Napoleen has out-played the whole Emperor has foreseen all tbe calamities and reverses of Sebastopel ever since the allied army sat down before the city. St, Arnaud was a trooper, (pandour) he might have taken tho place by a charge of cavalry at the first onset, but failing in that, a siege became necessary.— Neither Ragland nor Canrobert were equal to their position and Louis Napoleon knew it. He did not want Sebastopol to be taken this winter. He knew that short of a butchery, of which the history of war affords no parallel, tbe place could not be carried. He determined that Sebasto* pol should subserve a mighty political pur pose. \ A ’ / “For this, he has been delaying supplies, while he has concentrated his force* in France. An overwhelming army is gathering on tbe Prussian frontier. At Marseilles, Toulon and Algiers, a flotilla, to be reinforced by English vessels, will be ready to sail with 70,000 men on Mare!il5tb. On tbe arrival of this armada in tbe Crimea, tho Emperor wiil leave Paris, and appear in person before Sebastopol. A coup de main, upon a gigantic scale, will be attempted. Sebastopol will fall. Tho elated army flushed with tbe feat, will sweep over the' Crimea and occupy the Isthmus of Perekop. Aftor a cam-', paign which will endure a fortnight, Louis Na poleon will return to Paris, where the sudden ness of bis departure and promptness of his re turn will find all conspiracies unprepared for development, and where tho glory of bis vie-, tory will scatter all further treason to tbe winds. w/' f .
