A Glimpse of tlie Olden Time. Through a Volume of old Newspapers. Politics and Society Sixty Tears Ago. BY PROF. H. A. 8COMP. of 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.
