Tte paper of Feb. G, contains letters from’offi-
cere on board H. M. and ship Northumberland
on board of which Napoleon was carried to St.
Helena These letters bear date of ©ctober 19th
20th and 2’2d, 1815, and give some account of
the voyage with the royal prisoner and of his
landing at his island prison.
*We arrived here on the 15th of Oct., after
rather a pleasant, though long passage of ten
weeks: and Gen. Bonapart landed^ on the 16th,
in the evening when it was quite dark. He was
muffled up in a large smrtout coat. A guard
went before him to disperse the mob. You may
judge of the state of his mind and spirits by
what he did and what he did not do during the
nassaee He never came out of the cabin but in
the evening after dinner; he then, almost with
out exception, went and leant against the breech
of the foremost gun on the weather side of the
Quarter deck, whence he never moved. Gene
rals Bertrand and Lascasses always came out
with him, with whom he ever continued in con
versation; he appeared to take little notice n
his other companions. ...
His dress was invariably a green coat with
plain epaulets, small clothes with silk stockings
Snd pumps with gold buckles. The coun
tess Bertrand, is one of the most pleasant and
agreeable women I ever conversed with, fehe
said she wished we had missed the island, and
I do not wonder at it, for if its boundless, crag-
av rocks and lofty mountains strike the senses
of a stranger, who can depart at pleasure, with a
cold, heart-appalling effect, what must be the
feelings of banished majesty ? Nature seems to
have formed it for security to its inhabitants.
Had Gen. Banaparte ever entertained a hope
of escape when he came in sight of this place,
it must have been banished forever. The whole
world beside, I should suppose, does not con
tain such another spot.’
If the amiability and sufferings of Josephine
awaken our sympathy, we must feel that Napo
leon, in some sort, received retribution, in the
faithlessness of Maria Louise, who refused to
acoompany him and soothe his sufferings in his
lonely prison home, whence he was never more
to escape.
In the same paper is published an amnesty
by the Bourbons, with seventeen exceptions,
among them Grouchy, also an edict of banish
ment against forty-four of France s greatest men.
Bonapart's family are ordered to quit France
within a month under pain of death.
In the ohamber of Deputies, we learn that it
was proposed,by a secret committee, to condemn
to death all those who had voted for the death
of Louis XVI, and to transport all who had ac
cepted places under the 'Usurpation,’ or had
taken the oath to the Constitution of May 1815.
‘These prescriptions,’ it is said, ‘will make one
million five hundred thousand victims.’ Veri
ly, France was treading the winepress of wrath.
In the Intelligencer of Feb. Gth, we find a
manly letter from Marshal Moncey to LouiR
XVIli,in which the Marshal gives his reason for
refusing to preside at the trial of Ney. This let
ter was treated as contumacious,and caused Mar
shal Moncey to be ordered to prison for three
months. At this day we cannot bat be struck
with the noble, dignified tone of the venerable
hero, ‘still faithful among the faithless found.’
France, prostrate, bleeding, lay exhausted at
the oonqueror’s feet.
•If,’ says Marshal Moncey, ‘the fate of Poland
is to be ouib, what means of resistance have you
left? Your armies? you have none. Your for
tresses? they are in the power of the allies.
Your marshals, your statesmen? their head jwUl
have fallen. "Will you then resort to the people,
that people so much humiliated, so much de
spised ? The recollections of March, 1815 (when
Napoleon returned from Elba) will show your
Majesty what you have to expect from their Z9al
and attachment. Can you depend on the gen
erosity of the allies ? Are not the Prussian can
nons daily placed before your palace and point
at your residence ? And yet under such circum
stances you require me to take my seat where I
shall, perhaps, soon figure in my turn, not sb a
judge but as a criminal at the bar. Shall my
locks, bleached under the helmet.be only proofs
of my sfiame ? Shall twenty-five years of glo
rious labors be sullied in a single day ? No,
Sire, my life, my fortune, all that I possess is at
the service of my king and country, but my hon
or is exclusively my own, and no human pow
er can ravish it from me.’
A noble panegyrio of Ney follows,which must
make the blood of every patriotic Frenchman
boil with indignation at the memory of his cru
el fate.
A letter of Jan. 18 from a gentleman from
Amelia Island expresses the confident belief
that the Floridas will Boon be in the hands of
Great Britian.
In the issue of Feb. 3 is a letter from Wm.
Willshere, U. S. Consul at Mogadore, in which
he relates the arrival at Mogadore of Capt
James Riley and the crew of the Commerce.
Those who are familiar with the celebrated
‘Capt, Biley’s Narrative’ will readily see the
synchronism of events.
Via Havana comes the news that the ‘Monster
Morello,' tne Mexican insurgent General,’ is at
last in the hands of the Boyal (Spanish) troopB,
and his crimes will soon be expiated on the
scaffold, an awful lesson to his followers, whom
the same fate attends, if they continue to be
led by a gang of seditioners, who have the im
pudence to call themselves Patriots.’
Some reasons are quoted from the Boston
Chronical, showing why New England has
Tittle or no influence in the|National Councils.
The reason is obvious. The policy of the
states east of the Hudson under Federal rule
especially for the last four years., has been snob
that almost every measure adopted by them was
intended to divide and distraot the deliberations
of Congress, to render all their measures una
vailing in support of a just and righteous war,
thereby to create a popular irritation against the
B vernment, with a view to bring about a revo-
tion, or sever the Union, but Ahithophel's
counsel has been turned into foolishness, and
Hainan will die by the instrument he has pre
pared for Mordecai. The Bepublicans have suc
ceeded in spite of the prayers of the Cossack
priesthood and their retainers.’
The Chronicle advises that the power in every
state be put into the handB of Americans, who
have no foreign partialities, and it sees signs of
better things coming. Vermont is redeemed,
New Hampshire follows close after, and ‘even
Massachusetts will defend the true Washington
principles, all the whining of the Boston aristo
crats and Hartford Conventionists to the contra
ry notwithstanding.'
At thiB time, the question of removing Wash
ington’s remains to the National Capitol, was
much agitated, and this spirit seemed quicken
ed by the action of the Virginia Legislature
which was making efforts to secure the removal
of the body to Bichmond. A letter from Mrs.
Martha Washington to a former Congressional
committee, is published, in which Bhe assents
to the request of Congress to remove the re
mains to Washington.
Even the Father of his country was not infal
lible in his ken of the future, as will be shown
by the following extract from his letter to
Arthur Young, quoted in the Intelligencer. In
this letter of December 5,1781 Washington says:
| •The Potomac Biver is the centre of the Union.
It is between the extremes of heat and cold. It
is the Biver which must connect by its naviga
tion, the Atlantic States with the vast region
which is populating beyond all conception to
the westward of it It is designated by law for
the seat of the empire, and must, from its ex
tensive course through a rich and populous
country, become in time the grand emporium
of North America.’ How strangely has most of
this prediction been unfulfilled ! But perhaps
but for the discovery and application of steam-
power, Washington’s prophecy might have been
verified.
But the ‘local’ columns of the Intelligencer are
not altogether without interest. The trustees
of Winchester Academy give notice that they
‘have become sensible that it is not possible for
one.man to give due attention to all the scholars,
and teach with advantage all the branches of
science to be learned therein,’ and they have,
therefore, employed Col. Augustine Smith to as
sist Mr. Hattrick, and the two'will teach English
Grammar, Beading, Writing, Arithmetic, Geog
raphy, French. Latin, Greek, Surveying, High
er Mathematics and Natural and Moral Philoso-
pby.’
It is certainly hardly surprising that the trus
tees discovered that one man could not teach
thiB curriculum ‘with advantage, and give due
attention to all the scholars.' How much the
cause of education might be benefitied if some
good and dutiful trustees of later times should
become ‘sensible,’ like the Winchester curators,
that one man cannot ‘with advantage’ teach an
entire college course !
In the advertising columns Jacob Leonard an
nounces that he has established himself on
Pennsylvania Avenue and will sell table and
teaspoons, sugar tongs, snuffers, trays, etc.
Another paragraph informs the public that by
‘a new and commodious arrangmentof the stage
line, passengers may, with ease, reach Bich
mond in two days.’
P.A.Nagler has for sale one fortepiano,also vio
lin bows and strings, and 200 or 300 bushels of
oats.
B. B. Jenkins advertises to apprehend Sam
uel Foster, who had swindled him out of a horse,
Said Foster had contracted to pay Jenkins in
peach brandy, but left with the horse before J.
had tasted the brandy, which is evidently a sore
disappointment to Jenkins.
To build a Masonic hall in Baltimore, a lottery
is advertised, with prizes ranging from $40,000
down.
On January 10th the fast brig Macedonia ar
rived at New York in 109 daya from Canton, with
a cargo of teas, silks and nankeens for J. J. As-
tor.
M. Generes regularly has the ‘honorof inform
ing the ladies and gentlemen of Washington and
Georgetown of his cotillion parties at McKeow-
in’s hotel.’
February 3rd William Webster proposes to
publish William Wirt’s life of Patrick Henry.
The work ‘will contain 350 or 400 pages, and
will be delivered to subscribers at $3.50 a copy.’
Lots in Washington were already valuable
enough to be estimated by the inch, as we may
learn from Charles Glover, trustee, who offers
for sale lot 55, which has a front on Capitol Street
of 29 feet 5 inches, and a depth of 101 feet 3 in
ches.
And yet, Washington at this period must have
been very thinly settled, if we may judge from
the following notice of N. L. Queen.
‘To SrORXSMEN.’
‘The subscriber, who has a bag fox, will start
him below the Capitol on Tuesday next, at 11
o’clock in the forenoon. A dinner will be pro
vided At the City Hotel after the chase. It is
confidently expected that no gentlemen will ride
before the hounds, as the gentlemen who own
them will expect to hunt them.’
What would be thought of a fox chase around
Westminster Palace, or in the gardens of the
Louvre ?
ThjLt Washington was ‘thin’ in 181C we may
also mfer from a burlesque petition to Congress
from the hackney coachmen, Higefare, Boozy,
Careless, Jolter, Upset, and others, protesting
against the sale of certain public lands in the
central part of the city, whioh ‘will have a tend
ency to concentration of population, and will be
injurious to the trade of the petitioners.’
Public sales seem usually to have taken place
at Queen’s Hotel, which was a famous spot in
Washington in the olden time.
Joseph Milligan, of High Street, Georgetown,
wishes the public to know that he has for sale
‘ladies’ and gentlemens’ socks, of a peculiar,neat,
and comfortable make.’
For the relief of the poor, the Thespian Soci
ety propose to play at Washington Theatre the
farces, ‘Whose the Dupe?, ‘The Blue Devils,’
and 'The Jew and Doctor.’ Tiokets, box $1.00,
pit, 75 cents.’
From the frequent appeals in behalf of the
poor made this winter, we must conclude that a
season of more than ordinary soarcity was pre
vailing, and it is a well-known foot that the year
1815 was one peculiarly hard on the farming in
terests of the country. Frost and even' ioe are
said to have been seen as far south as Arkansas
in the month afJuly, and the year was long
known as Eighteen Hundred and Starve-to
Death.
Soience seems to have been advancing, for the
statement is quoted from the Tennessee Ctarion
that Bev. Gideon Blaokburn has ‘happily explod
ed the long-cherished opinion that the sun mov
es only upon its axis, but by incontrovertible
evidence he proves that the sun moves in its or
bit, and performs its regular revolutions.’
But the Sunny South will hardly bear a long
er trespass on its columns, so I will bid the
kind reader addio,after expressing the hope that
it may not repent him to have paused in life’s
busy whirl long enough to catch, through the
mellow haze of the past, a Glimpse of the,Olden
Time.
Emory College. Oxford, Ga., Aug. 8th, 1878.
Why are so Many Things sot
Why is it right to steal from the government ?
Why is it wrong to kill the man who says he
told you so ?
Why the boys who made the Fourth of July
odorous and hideous with gunpowder from
1840 to 1856, inclusive, are speeohless with in
dignation at the depraved and vioious tastes of
the boys who want to enjoy the same kind of a
celebration in 1878?
Why do people always disouBS European
politics as though they understood them ?
Why a man should always get mad if you
frankly and for his own good tell him he is
making an ass of himself!
Why is it so hard to find a man when you
want to borrow money of him ?
Why is it bo hard to borrow the money after
you have found him ?
Why does a man /ilways wish he had ohosen
some other profession ?
Why a man is always going to take a vacation
‘next summer?’
Why does a man think every year that he
wont be bb big a fool this year as he was last ?
And why he is, though, all the same ?
Why does a man never try to beat down the
price of a railroad ticket "txi
Why does everybody affect a profound knowL
edge of growing crops and crop prospects ?
Why is it men always lie about the size of
the fish they catch and the number of ducks
they shoot?
What does a girl ever see in a great selfish,
deceitful hulking animal of a man to marry him
for, anyhow ?
Why does it take five grown people to take
one sleeping infant to the cirous to *see the an
imals?’
Why is it a man who doctors himself with
patent medicines, three bottles for a dollar,
always, in referring to his health, speaks of ‘his
physicians' as though he were constantly at
tended by a retinue of fifty or sixty doctors ?
A Five Year Old Murderer.—In Middlesex
Eugland, a little boy only five years old killed
his infant brother beca ise he was tired of rock
ing the little one’s cradle. As soon as his moth
er left, he got a large nail and struck the baby
on the forehead with it, and effusion of the brain
ensued. A part of the jury of inquiry into the
death, wished to legally punish the child, but
the verdict of death from misadventure was
finally returned.
Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of ns to overtask our ener
gies, corporeal or mental, but in the ea. er pursuit of
wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this
salutary rule. It must be a matter of great importance
to all who do so to know how they can regain the v gor
so recklessly expended. The remedy is neither Costly
or difficult to obtain, llostetter’s Stomach Bitters is
procurable in every city, town and settlement in Amer
ica, and it compensates for a drain of bouily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigoraut ever pre
scribed or advertised. Laboring men, athletes, students,
journalists, lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all bear tes
timony to its wondrously renovating powers. It la-
creases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and coun

TESTIMONIAL.
The success which the Kenmore High School has
achieved under the energetic and conscientious admini
stration of the Principal and bis able Assiatant, and the
preparation and training of its pupils, who have entered
the University of Virginia, have fully justified the recom
mendations o’f this excellent school to the public, at its

foundation, and 1 trust it will continue for many year ta
doits good work for our State and country.
