a word : I love wo one—-no, »iOt even luy brotliers; Joseph perhaps a little r still if I do love him, it i» from habit, because he is the eldest of «*. Durov! yes—him 1 cer tainly love*. But why ? his character suits me. He is cold, severe a«d unfeeling;; and then—Du roc never » eeps! As for me, it is all one; I well know I have no true .friends. While I remain what I am, I can ■hake ns many of them as 1 like—in ap pearance. Look ye, Bourrienne. we must leave tender-heartedness to the women— that is their affair; but no sensibility for me! it is necessary tn be firm—to have the heart of adamant; otherwise let no one meddle with war nr politics!” When Napoleon was in Egypt, and in specting the country, he took advantage ot a low tide, traversed the Red Sea, and gain* ed the opposite side; but on his return night overtook him, and he ran the great est danger of perishing precisely in the same manner as Pharaoh. Napoleon, in his campaign against Prus sia, having found at Potsdam the sword of Frederic the Great, the belt which this monarch wore during the seven years’ war, and 'he grand insignia of his orders, exclaim ed, on takinu possession of these trophies, “ 1 prefer them to all the treasures of the King of Prussia—l will send tlvetn to my veterans of the campaigns of Hanover: the governor of the Invalids will guard them a a certificate of the victo’ies of tiie grand army, and ot the revenge which was taken for the disasters at Rosbach.” Atmmg the other costly relics belonging to one ot’ the richest convents in Vallado lid, there was a brick of massive gold of nearly one foot in length hy an inch llii.-k, which contained a thorn said to be from the crown which Christ wore on the cross. It was presented to Napoleon by one of his Generals, and he received it : but, taking out the thorn.—“ There,” said lie, give that bark to the monks—l keep the brick.” Wueu Jerome Bonaparte, King of West phalia, passed through Warsaw, in the cam paigns of 1812, he gave it dinner, at which he had soldiers holding upright around the table, branches of cherry trees laden with fruit; formed a sort of grove which extended over the heads of himself and guests, froth which he gathered the fruit for tin ir d> s rt. At the time when private letters were o pened by the orders of Napoleon, a pack et was stopped at Trieste which proved to be written in Hebrew. The clerks having no knots ledge of this ancient language, a Jew was sent fur to interpret it. On read ing the letter, lie betrayed great embar rassment and wished to be excused tln translation, but the Secretaries were deter mined. Tne Jew, wiio shook with fear, then read the following translation : •• Blackguards that you are, do you sup pose that it I were fool enough toconspirt against you and your paltry town.

During tiie reign of Napoleon, an article was written in an English Journal, staling, when the troops heard that the Frem h hail lauded at Dover, titey gave three huzzus and were iu hopes of giving a good account <>i the invaders. Tlii« notice appeared mi | the Pu'jhccste, in the ■orm ol a faithful iraiislatioii. Tiie following day an article was inserted in the Gazette de France ac cu.ing the editor ol tiie Futdiceste of dis alfectiou in liandating the huzza of the Eu glisii in the sense of vnat ! winch, it asser ted, was not tiie true meaning; but on the i oiitrary that huzza implied an appeal to the men y of a conquercr. and might be render ed better by me interjection helas /—Next day, the Publiceste exposed the ignorance of tiie Gazette de France, and iu proof' ol it, quoted Hie meaning 1.1 the disputed word as gi.en in Buyer’s Dictionary. On thi**,' Bonaparte interfered, and sent an article to be inserted in the Muniietir, saying that the , editor of live Publiceste was an ignorantj fool, fur he ought to have known that a word : might have two meanings, but that his ma-i (evidence was well known, as well as his! attachment to tiie corrupting gold of' En-' gland. This article the Fubliceste was ub- ! liged to copy the following day. In 1815, ttoe French newspapers annotin- ; ced the departure of Bonapar e from Elba, hi* progress through France, and his entry into Paris, in the following ingenious man ner : “ March 9.—The Anthropophagiis lias quitted Ins den.

Literary Society into effect in Columbia, S. C., is likely so far to succeed, and, where as, we deem it detrimental to the interests of the craft in general, we conceive it our bounden duty to remonstrate, as far as lies in our power, against the establishment of the system as projected iu Washington, and which has produced effects in opposing it that are to be regretted by us all.— Be it therefore Resulted, That we disap prove of Gen. Green’s intention to establish a Society significantly lei med “ The Lite rary So iety of South Carolina,” and winch has been incorporated by the Legislature of sai I St He. I' Resolved, Tha* we consider it an attempt to monopolize the printing of the Stale a fort s lid, by underworking resident Printers, : whose conduct ami deportment have al ways ensured the respect of’ our craft, and the citizens of the comiiiunijfy in which they ■ live. Resolved, That we solicit and recom mend to the Journey tn n Pt inters of Co lumbia, S.

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that no Journey ma,i could, consis tently with any principle of honour, work in any office conducted in such a manner. Resolved, Th.it we disclaim any inten tion of injuring Gen. Green in the opinion of tiie South ; but his design in Washing ton City lias led Us to anticipate a similar attempt here.

The people of this commonwealth have also ' determined, upon solemn ami del.berate reflec- • io i, that tl.ei present constitution of government I re.pnres alteration ami amendment; and, on the j fourth ol November next, you are to choose the men to whom the duty of suggesting these altera tions and amendments is to be euulined.

'1 tie evils complain i ed of, il not redressed, will be aggravated by time md a thousand other causes-“liew provisions, il not judicious, may make things worse than they are. It is, hence, apparent that the election of » drlegntM tulhe convention, for suggesting altera- tiuiis auu amendments to the cousliiutiou to be submitted lu tuejieopla. is a mutter ol as much dif ficulty, as it is oi importance. 'V e are charged, by the various conibm.itious ot our federal oppo nents, with designs to overthrow the existing bar riers ot property, of private rights, of public or der, of couimon safety, —m a word, witfi a deter tuiuaiion to accomplish a “ rtiohition m the gov ernment oi I'cmisylvauia. The d.igiant übsurtli ty ot such a charge should make it recoil on the heads ofthose by whom ills uttered. The demo crude party can have no motive to produce the slightest change in the present order ot thing, ini mical to the genera: aeit.ue ; iui this party is composed of citizens of I’eiinsyivania, ami all who would be common stifle.ers in a calamity. I They have Ht no time indicated tin intention to carry alieratit.u aud ameinlini nt turther than to remedy plain and palpable evils. Ihe power of the convention besides is not Imai, it is only re fo.nmendatvri/ aud it would lieicat the very end for w hieti it assembles, to recommend a single measure which the good ol the people dot* not deiuuud, aud which would nut, most likely, be approved. W bile it is clearly the policy of the democratic pin ty. should it übtam a majority, noi to extend the wains ot the people, it w di lie equal ly its duty not to tail sum tot expectation. The principal object which the people had in view, when they voted in favor of a convention, was to diminish ihepatrou.ige oi the governor, mid to in vest it in themselves. This will, of course, cun stitutc a leading pu posJ with the convention; but, in actiug upon ii, the principles of sound pol icy wifi uot be transcended.

' Central Committee. Harrisburg. October 19th, 1836. From Florida. W e learn, “(says the Savannah Georgi an,) by a gentleman who left Black Creek, the day betbie yesteiday, that the forces of that station were immediately to assemble al Fort Dr,ane, and with the "friendly Creek Indians at that place, to make another ex pedition to t e WithlacoochtA*. It was un derstood, when our infitrrnant left, that no hope was entertained of the Indians coming in peacibly. Gen. Je-sup had arrived at Fort Drane. Gov. Call who had be *n ill, was convalescent, and the health of the troops generally imp oving.” From the Florida Herald, Oct. 7- LATER FROM THE ARMY. DEATH OF COI.. LANE. We learn with deep regret, the death of this promising young officer. He commit ted suit ide, on the day after his arrival at Fort Drane. He had been sick several days and had complained of great distress in bis head. Just before the melancholy event took place, he complained of the heat of the weather. Capt. Galt, in whose tent he was, proposed raising the tent, and win out lor that purpose, and w hile in the act of doing so, he heard a fall and then a groan within. On going in he saw Col. Lane on his knees with the point of his sword thrust into his left eye, and the hilt n sting on the ground, and which penetra ted into the brain. It is supposed lie com mitted the fatal act, while in a fit of insanity produced by brain fever. We have been favored w ith the following extract of a letter from an officer in the Ar my who is with the regiment of Creek indi diaus, by which it appears that the Semi noles, or at least a portion of them are not inclined to submit upon any terms, and that all hope of ending the war by negotiation is at an end. It was a benevolent policy to propose terms to them, but as these have been rejected, nothing now remains for them but extermination, and extermination it must be. Gov. Cali is determined to close the war, ami it is said he will not re cross the Stiwame river until it is termina ted. We feet that no effort w ill be untried by him to terminate the war and restore peace w ithin our distracted and distressed Territory. Ag» ntleman of this city received a let ter from au officer of the U. S. Army, da ted a Camp near Tampa Bay, Btn October inst., in w Inch he mentions that an Indian Ciiiet ol tiie friendly Creek Indians, amounting to 850, who had joined us in the war against the Seiiiinoles, having some relations among the hostile Seminoles, in the vicinity ol the camp of our troops, was sent to enter upon a negotiation for petice with th-* Seminoles. He faithfully fid lied bi. duty, going about a (hundred miles to meet tite Hostile Indians and proposed terms of peace to tin m. T i,ej scortiiully rejected his proposals, and in u.e most gasconading and insulting terms, boasted oi what they had done and would di. They said that they had flog ged tiie whites in every engagement; that they had cleaned die South and North, ex cept two or three forts, which were entire ly tn their power, and they recommended 'us to come out with a good supply of horse meat andi/ogs' hams, alluding to the food to winch they asserted they reduced Gen. Gaines’ forces. They said that they had just dogged the Tennessee horse, and that titey will ting us. All hopes therefore, ofnegociaiion being entleu, we shall push on w ith vigor, and we intend to gt.e tiie gentlemen an opportu mty ol pulling their threats into execution Our lorces now amount to about 850, and we think we shall be aide to give a good account oi any force the Seminoles wilt permit us lo meet. All are in fine health and spirits, and a lew daj swill put us in the immediate vicinity of the ettentj. From the Charleston Courier. We are indebted to onr attentive corres pondent in Florida, lor the following com miinication, dated “Garevo Ferry, (Black Creek,) October 31st, 1836. “I am herein the midst of troops, and dreadful preparations fin* battle. The troops at this place on my arrival were a bout 1500, but they have been lor the last two dajs and still are departing for Fort Drane, in order to concentrate w ith Gen. -Jesup and Gen. Read upon the Witldacoo cbee. There had been some exp-ectatioi that the war would speedily t nd, but there has been a vety speedily endlo such hopes. One ol the squaws takenon the Withlacoo chee conveyed a message to Iter tribe, that if tlte hostile Indians would surrender oi come, in, they would be receivet and tent West of lhe Mississippi, agreeald . to the treaty. She promised to return if she co tld, three days since, but hastiot, us yet return- , e<L >Slie was provided with a good horse for her journey. Alter site had left, her course was trailed, and it appears that in stead of going to the Witlilacoochee, she tm tied off to the Ochle-wa-ha, where a ve ry considerable number of Indian forces are enibodyed. “An Indian Chief of the Creeks has been sent out by Col. Lane to Jumper, who is the master spirit of the Seminoles, to know whether the Seminoles were disposed to come to terms. This friendly Indian Chief has returned from Jumper, who says, “he has whipped lhe Tennesseeans, and they are gone home—that he has the north and south of Florida open to him—that he can bea. the whole of them, and let them come on.” Thus at present there is every pros pect of a continuation of the war, and some hard lighting expected.” From the Jacksonville Courier 3rd inst. THE WAR. We learn from a source entitled to great credit that Gen. Jessup is appointed to the command of the Army in Florida. There have been so many contradictory statements of the movements, that we are unable to say •tow much credit is due to the report, that Gen. Jesup is on his way from Tampa Bay to Fort Drane, with six hundred re gulars. Let who will have the command, un ess guilty of the aiost culpable mismanage ment, the war must be soon terminated.— Tne enemy with whom we have to con tend is known. A mere ostentatious dis men will not induce them to surrender, even if our distinguished General aie at their tiead. The nature of the country, which affords him refuge, is known. There are troops enough in the country, good troops to ferret them out, and to force them away il necessaty. 1 here are provisions enough in the L’nitcd-Statcs to feed those troops, and means Sufficient to transport them to the necessary places. If with all the re sources ol the United Slates, a petty tribe of Indians, re iuced s.id weakened by dis ease, cannot be made to give themselves up, and carried away, in one winter, alter having made as* many “voyages of discove ry” through their territory, it would bt best to give the Indians a quit claim to the whole United States, and we betake ourselves aud our boasted government to Europe or some part of Africa. We think it incredi ble that Oseola be permitted to continue hostilities much longer. Col. Pierce has been appointed to suc ceed Capt. L ine in command of the friend ly Creeks. With his eneigy, skill, and prointitude at lhe head of such a regi uent much must be accomplished. None coti/4 do more than Col. Pierce ict// do. Provis ions, horses, wagons, &,c, are coming on, and every preperation is now making for a vigerous campaign. One regiment of the Tennessee Brigade moved from Black Creek to Fort Diane under the command oiUol Bia .dock. Tne other Regiment will soon move under the command of Col. Trowsdale. This Bri gade under Gen. Armstrong with Col. Pier ce’s Regiment or Creeks and Regulars, will be ready to march in a lew days for the Withlacouchee. Gen. Read is outlie Witlilacoochee with his command, where he was established a depot with a large quantity of provi ions. Col. Warren, with Lt. Col. Mills’ bat talion is preparing to take lhe field. These ofiicers have been in service from the com mencement of the war, except for the sho.l ! pe< iod that Gen. Scott was in the country. Whatever may be lhe of this campaign, their exertions and tlieir deed, will merila conspicuous place in the history oi this war. From the preperations, the troops, the officers and the lad that the command ot the friendly Creeks is given to’he energetic the unwaried and the daring Col. Pierce, much confidence is felt that this movement of our forces, will productive of the most im portant and favourable results, if it do not put a termination to the protracted j war. , Mrs. Jane Johns, who was so barbarous lo scalped a short time since in thi. vicinity is convalescing rapptdly. Her health is I sufficiently restored to enable her to leave her room. Her suffering has been extreme, through much releived by theptaiseworthy attention and skill of Dr. We. ch. The 6th. nit. Mrs. Johns gave birth to a still bor i child. She had been married for nearly a year, when %er husband was iuhumanely butchered. From Texas. From the Texas Telegraph, Oct. 12. Sunday Mourning, the 19th instant. Major-Gen eral Sam Houston, the President elect of our re public, and suite, arrived in this town. According to the result of the general election, Major General Samuel Houston is elected Presi dent of lhe republic of Texas, by a large majority; and M. B. Lamar, Vice president. The votes for annexation to the United States and for the con stitution as it is, were almost unanimous. Our distinguished fellow-citizen Samuel Hous ton having been called to the chief magistracy of the'natiou, by an overw hemiug majority of the people, it w ill become necessary to fill the vacan e vofthe coimnantler-in-chief oT this aitny, at the earliest possible period. This a subject in which all Texas is deeply and vital yconcened: so.-on that appointment will de deml, iu a very considerable measure, her future existen.ee as a nation. The former incumbent of that, office has won, for himself ami the country, imperishable honors: his name is destined to be handed down by the posteiity, through the pages of history, as of the greatest of men ; and the monument of fame, which is to be found erected in thh hearts of his countrymen, is much more lasting than the* most solid brass. lie has-been called, by an almost unanimous vote, to higher and more responsible duties; and we hope that this civil administration will be a successful as the military career has, been spleud id and glorious. In the appointment of a successor there maj’ be some difficulty, because the essential qualifications to make a general are known to fall to the let of very few men. He should be brave without rash uess. prudeut without fear, considerate in council, experienced in war. cautiousin liis plans, energet ic in his actions, and impetious in battle. 11. should combine lhe prudent policy of a Fabius, with the desparate daring of Leonidas, when the ineigcncy of the case may require it. Me should be high rniuded ami honorable in an eminent <l< • r ree. Ite should possess the most powerful influ ence and connexions'; he should he a man of such charaetei ami popaiarity, that the gallant am 1 chivalric of every clime ami of every country would be promi to rally around his banner. We would most respectfully ask: does Texas at this time possess such a man ? Far lie it from us to detract, in the least possibb manlier from the well earned honors of any of our officers.—And we would here take an oppor- 1 tnnity to show that the Brigadier-General Thoiu- i as J. Rusk, the present commanding ollicer, Tex- , as owes a lasting gratitude, which she may never j probably be able to reply. Generals Green ami Felix Houston also de- serve our just commendation lor tiie ardiei-’ and disinterested zeal with which they have ev. ced in our case. The.r services entitles them to the highest consideration ; and although ingratitude has been charged against ail republics, we trust , that Texas will prove to bea rare exception. We believe we hazard nothing iu expressing the conviction that the good of the country is the ' moving principle with these three officers, and that they would most cheerfully unite in sustain ing and supporting to the cuminander-iu-chief whom the government might think proper to ap point. H then amongst ourselves, the man whois ex actly in every respect cannot be found ; our eyes would naturally turn to the United States, for the . purpose of selecting such an individual. To that , country we have always looked with an anxious eye, in the hour <>f peril, and that from the citzens of that country we have unil'otmly received the warmest support, without which it would have been absolutely impracticable to have sustained ourselves as a nation. In that country are to be found many, very I many officers, who possess in an eminent degree • the qualifications required. From that country, . we are inclined to believe, we can call into requi sition the services ofa general in every way com petent lo control the destinies of our army ; of one whose thrilling war cry would be heard from I the Atlantic to the Sabine; and whose banner , would scarcely be unfurled before thousands of the bravest hearts would flock round his stand ard, and thus enable Texas to dictate terms of peace to Mexico. * In our next, we will give the name' of the dis tinguished individual upon whom our eye is fixed ; and endeavor to show conclusively the immense benefits whith whi di would rosul firom bis appoint-, meat- i “That the independence of Texas ought to be acknoledged 'by the United States, whenever ! satisfactory information shall be received that it has in successful operation a Civil Govern ment, capable of performing the duties, and > fulfilling the obligations of an independent pow- er.” Resolution of the Congress ol'United States, , July 4th. The condition implied in the Congressional an ' nonneetnent of the United States, upon which an ’ unequivocal guarantee of the recognitionul Inde- ■ petidence is ceded to Texas, must engender lhe ■ inosl thrilling anxiety iu the bosom of every man, to promote the ••ccnsumation” of an object **so devotedly to be wished for.” The first eilbits of ’ tiie < ongress of Texas, row struggling to harmo nize t .e tiith ro discordant elements of society in one social system of civil government—to organ- : t ise by the patient nd accute examination «;f its various Committees the multifarious objects that! crowd on their attention, each from its vast im portance appearing to claim prect dents of the , • other, w ill become subjects ol philosophic retro- | . spection to the presen' actors in the scene, no I s honorable and pleasing in reflection than these deeds that have already consecrated the hen ism of their p ist lives on the many well fought fields of ( ■ ha' .I:. A timid mind may shrink from the task ; , an in different one turn away wiib apathy—but; j surely the men whose bosom have been bared to the aggressions of the invader, from whose 1 brave compatriots in arms, rivers of blood have: Huv n in defence ol lhe country, w ill not suffer their . patience to exhaust that energy sb necessary to j the attainment ol a “Civil Government in success- : ’ ful operation.” It may be true that the legislative ' 1 machinery moves -Inly at present because it has not been inus. —that election contest, may impede ; ■ ts organic harmony, but these objections vanish ; daily, and the drafts of several interesting bills, now b fore the House, afford the most satisfacto ry prospective evidence, that the legiskit ve as semblies of Texas will rival the legislatives of ove- • ry state in the Union—and that the banner of its . civil administration will stream over the Temple of Washington City, by annexation, before three ’ months have expired—one short week has elapsed ind there are now in course of progress bills ou the rev u te. post office, war and navy departments i nroteclion of the frontiers, organization of a jtidi- I ciary, and gener-1 defence of the country. Vv hat more could the Congress of the United States it self have effected in the same time—and although the Websters, Prestons and Clays of the infaut Re- ■ public are not yet known—the embryotic genius , of much to be developed, has already shed a few scintillations on some spirit stiring questions of the House. It is to be hoped the time is not I far distant when the early practice of the prinei . pie contained ift the rules and orders of the House, j will save much of the time that is now usefhl ly employed in learning, but cerainly not iu dis- ' puting, their import.
