BE OSE THODSANB FAMILIES IB THE BEST SECTION OF OEOBCIA. - Ou learning tlsnt tLie son of Napoleon I1L had just been killed in a camp of South Africa, at the age- of 22 years, the thought instinctively re- 1 verts towards that other Napoleon, ent down by death in the first flower of liis youth Both have no other history than that of their father. tfauolecn II., at leash has been mourned for by a great poet and asso ciated by him to the glorits of his fa ther. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31. Ben Butler has again expressed his willingness to be Governor of Massa chusetts* A call has been issued calling a convention of his friends in Worces ter on the 28th. of September to nomi nate him. The Southern . Newspaper Union, wliieh publishes outsides and insides for a great many papers of the South and West, and whoso headquarters are at Memphis, has announced its removal to Atlanta. George B Dtirfeo, .Treasurer of the Mechanics Mill, Fall. River, has keen discovered guilty of “irregular” trans actions. He has been speculating large- lyand disastrously, and “borrowed” §35,0.00 of the mill’s money with, which to put up mnrgihs. He lost abot §120,- 000 in his speculations. The Quartermaster-General has in formed Miss Mary C. Granbevry, Sec retary of the Ladies’ Memorial Associa tion, of Americas, Ga., that there is no objection to that Association removing the remains of the Confederate dead from tlie Audeisonville National Ceme tery. w o-«— : The Cinciunatta Commercial prints reports of interviews with several lead ing Southerners about the next Presi dential candidate, Representative Ohdliners, of Mississippi, says that Thurman is the favorite in his State, and Gen. Joo Johnston says the same of Virginia. ' Representative Mills, of Texas,^thinks that Thurman “stands the best chance of harmonizing the par ty in all sections of tlie country.” Some Representative-might, with equal truth say the same thing of Georgia. Evert day’s dispatches from France confirms the opinion that Bonapartism in France has suffered, -perhaps fatally, from the dentil of tho youug Prince Im perial. Whether, the present Prince Napoleon accepts or refuses to accept tlie position of head of the Bonapaitist, neither he nor any one of his rivals can command undivided suppoit-, and the Imperial party has small chances of : success if it is not a unit. All this is good fortune for the republic, which has been growing in strength of late, and is now fairly entitled to relief from the macliiuations of Bombous and Bon- apartists. “Two things remaiLod to him in his unfruitful . cage, The portrait of a child and a map of the world,— All his genius and his heart..** « And in another place at the end of his immor'al.poem, Victor Hugo ex claimed: “Lord, thy right hand 1b terrible! Thou hast commenced with the invincible master, with the triumphant man; Then, thou hast at last completed the charnel-house; Ten years have sufficed to weave the shroud of the father aud the sou.” Congressman Chalmfirs, of Mississip pi, is out in a letter, in which he says there is no need, of any Greenback par ty in that State, because nineteen twen tieths of the Dtmocrats not only tbeie, but throughout the South and West, stand on the Greenback platform. He predicts that iD the next national con vention the soft money Democrats will select the canditate and make the piat- ' form: Further, he says: “We have other iBsars besides those of currency, and we Cannot afford to drive out either Bayard or Ewing, either the gold stand ard or the silver-standard Democrats, they remain true on ether great princi ples of Democratic policy.” More Badicaii Robbery.—It would seem that chronic rascality permeates the Radical party from centre to cir cumference—from Washington city to the remotest bounds of ci^rinl service. As an evidence of this Colonel Mosby, the ex-Confedernte guerrilla chief, now Consul at Hong Kong, in aiecent letter to the State department-, states that for ty thousand dollnrs of the Consular fees which belong to the government, collec ted at that office before his arrival, have not been accounted for, and that, for the last seventeen years, of the fees collected under tlie law regulating Chi-, nese emigration, he should judge that at least two hundred thousand dollars have not been reported to the Treasury. THE ZULU SOLDIERS. We read in the Figaro a curious state ment in regard to the Zulus: It is known that this African tribe, apparently in the savage state, possesses nevertheless certain notions of the art of war,*and, extraordinarily enough, their miltary tactics approach a great deal the European manner of fighting. According to a communication, which we have received, it seems that towards the end of first- Empire a French war- vessel was wrecked ou the coast of Afri ca. Seven of the sailors of the vessel saved themselves-?'- and arrived in Zuln- jand, where they settled. Out of grati tude for the hospitality, they received, the shipwrecked organised the military forces of the conntry'ahd were so the first who introduced military instruc tion, ofc which-this warrior people make use to this day. A strange coincidence: Soldiers of the first Nopoleon teaching the art of war to soldiers, destined to kill the heir of liis race.” Let us add that among the arms ta ken from the Zulus there have been found guns of English manufacture. Remnington-rifles,, Smder-rifles and Buns of the moctol of those, which have been laid among tho rubbish at the end the so;go of Paris.— Translated foi ls there a name in onr history more known than that of the King of Rome? But do we know as well by what thoughts Lis young soul was agitated? Marmont, Duke of Ragusa, one of the lare Frenchmen who has seen him, who has been admitted into his intima cy, has devoted to him an important chapter in his memoirs. It was in the year 1831^-the Duke of Reichstadt was then twenty years old—tbnt these con fidential communications took place be tween the son of Napoleon and the Marshal of France: After having taken my post at Vien na, an interest of affection and curiosi ty made me vividly desire to see the son of Napoleon. As he was yet se cluded from the world, I did not think to be able to approach him, but I wish ed at least to observe him. He went sometimes to the opera, and I took measures to find mysell one day within reach to observe him. I doubted then that a kind of intimacy would soon ex ist between us both. They had told me that he had heard with pleasure of my arrival in Vienna and desired very much to meet and know me. His near entree into society soon offered the op portunity. On Wednesday, the 26th of January, Lord Cowley, Ambassador of England, gave a grand ball, where near ly the whole imperial family was pres ent. The Duke ot Reichstadt came there with them. My eyes were direct ed towards him with eagerness. I saw him for the first time close by aDd with facility. I found that he had the look of his father, and in that he resembled bim most. His eyes, less great than those of Napoleon, deeper in their or bit, had the same expression, the same fire, the same energy. His forehead also reminded one i f that of his father. There was no resemblance in the lower part, of his face and the chin. Finally, his complexion was that of-Napoleon in his youth, the same paleness, the same coloi of the skin; but all the rest of his face reminded one of his mother and the house of Austria. His height surpassed that of Napoleon about five inches Being informed by Count Dietricbsteiu, his Governor, that he would approach me during the ball and speak with me, only a few minutes elapsed when I saw him at my side. He addressed to me immediately the following words: “Marshal, you are one of the oldest companions of my father, and I attach to it the highest prize, to form vour'ac- quaintance. I answered that I was vividly touched by this sentiment, that I was very hap py to see him and to be near him. Then we entered into more serious conversation. He asked me if, as he he believed, I had made the first cam paigns of Italy. I answered him in the affirmative: that my relations of service and of friendship with Napoleon were of still inoie remote period; that they da ted back beyond the stage of Toulon; that my acquaintance with his person dated to 1790: an epoch when he was lieutenant of artillery, in garrison at Ansomc, and I occupied at Dijon to complete my instrnction to enter into the corps in which served, and where also was a near relative of mine, his in timate friend. He put to me several questions in re gard to these so famous campaigns, and I answered in a manner to arouse his curiosity. He spoke to me of Egypt, of tin IStli brumabe, of the- campaign of 1814, ete., etc, I answered succinct ly. in regard to these diverse subjects. I was careful to throw promptly my*gen eral ideas oyer the -character and the career of Napoleon, which present such complete changes in his person, that one might consider in him two differ ent men. His elevation, owing doubt less in a great part to bis talents, but powerfully favored by the time when he appeared, was the expression, felt by everybody, of tbe needs of the existin. society. Under this title everybody aided him, supported and favored him, while his fail was his own work and the result of his constant efforts Fiiialiy, this great genius, so calculating in the first years of his greatness, was darken ed by the illusions of pride, which led his judgment astray. At this occasion I quoted to him immediately the word which lie pronounced the evening of the battle of Ghampanbert, where he seemed to foresee his near return to the Vistu la, a word already reported in my histo ry. narrating the events of the- cam paign of 1S14. TheDukeof Reichstadt spoke to me with great warmth of ins passion for his calling, of his desire to make war, and added how happy he would be to learn under mo. Generally beoften caressed this idea, more than once he express ed it to me. France and Austria, he said, could some day be allies and their armies fight side by side. “For:” he said, “it is not against France that I can and must make war.' An order of my father has forbidden it to me, and never will I violate it. My heart for-! The vivid interest which he showed in this conversation increased daily, and led him to express the desire to learn with details the past events through my narratives. But I considered it pru dent not to make any positive engage ments in Ibis respect, because I eonld whom he himself agreeable to liked to please. I continued to visit him about every wo weeks, and every time I was recived by him with expressic ns of pleasure.— When I had been absent from Vienna some time then there were new bonds- not know what salted the Emperor aud : In my visits the conversation tnmed Prince Metternich. As well from duty as from prudence, a great caution in my conduct was imposed on me, aud I could do nothing of importance without the consent of the protecting power which gave me an asylum. Our conversation ended after having Listed half an hour, and having been' tlie subject of remarks of all spectators. Once free, Prince Metternich being at the ball, I submitted to bim the ques tion immediately.. He answered me in these words: “There is no impropriety in your seeing the Duke of Reichstadt and speaking to him of his father. He could not be placed in better hands than yonrs. I would consider it a bad action not to let him know Napoleon, such as he was, and with the superiority which characterized him in so eminent a man ner; but it is also good that lie should know which have been, his illusions, his pride, bis ambitions, passions which ruined him and led him to destroy liis power himself. You, more than any other man, are capable to make him know and feel the truth.” Thisreasoning.se siaiple, so trne, this conduct so reasonable, so loyal to this young man. is in harmony with all that I could see, and answers victorious ly to the nonsense propagated in regard to the education of the Duke of Reich stadt, an education entirely different and the opposite of what'has been said. I immediately informed the Duke of Reichstadt that I was enabled to satisfy him as soon as be wished; I would nar rate to him the campaigns of Italy of 1796 and 1797. One can see how reason and prndence were precocious in this youDg man; he said to me: “Marshal, in our respective positions, it seems to me proper to speak of it first to Prince Metternich, and to act with his consent.” I replied: “Monseigneur, my steps went before your just observations, and it is with his approval that I come to recrive your orders.” We put the day for Friday following, the 28th, at 11 o’clock in the morning. From this moment, and during about three months, the Mondays, Fridays, and sometimes the Wednesdays, from 11 until 1} o’clock, were dedicated to my recitals, which comprised the history of his father and of the wars of onr time. When the circumstances offered the op portune y, I made an expose of the prin- ples of the art of waiO Before entering into the history of the immortal campaigns of 1796 and 1797 in Italy, I commenced to make known to him the details which concern the first part of the life of his father and to say, of his political and military infan cy, and the circumstances whiah led him, nearly independently of Lis will, in presence of events which formed the starting-point of his grandeur; for, I added,* we beloDg in many things to destiny; but, nevertheless, we are often the children of our own works. To ar rive at tlie point to do great things, circumstances must not he wanting to able men, and men must not be want ing to great circumstances which offer themselves to them. Napoleon met them such as he could desire, and lie has shown himself at their height.— This necessary accord is rare, and when fortune makes them exist, things re sult therefrom which astonish the. com mon masses. Many individuals possess the necessary qualifications to become great men, and die ignored, doubtless for the want of opportunities to make themselves known.” All ideas of the Duke of Reichstadt were directed towards his father, to whom he rendered a kind of worship.— An ardent heart, this primitive senti ment which plays so important a role in countries where civilization is re tarded, as in Corsica, was allotted to him in all his energy, as an inheri tance. It is impossible forme to express with what avidity he heard all my narratives. I excused myself to him, that I often spoke of myself; but in narratives that concerned his father I could not avoid it; for at that time the list of officirs was small, the number of those comprised therein not considerable, and I was a part thereof. I related to the Duke of Reichstadt the first years of his father, the oppois tunity of my acquaintance with him, my meeting with him at the seige of Tou lon, and the important role which he soon pla yed there, although then only filling a subordinate rank; afterwards his nomination to the rank of" general of the corps of artillery, employed with the army of Nice; his personal impor tance, the operations which he directed and which was as a first sketch of the campaign made a year later. I ended this kind of course of three month’s duration by reading that which I have written on the events of 1830 This task fulfilled, I told to the Duke of Reichstadt that, as I had nothing more to tell him, which eonld interest him, I took leave of him. He embrace ed me affectionately and tbanked me.— He declared to me that I had caused Mm to pass the sweetest moments wMcb he had yet tasted since he was in the world, and made me promise tc visit him from time to time, which I did not cease to fulfill: Soon after he sent me his portrait made by Daffinger. It is of great resemblance, although a lit tle too young. The bust of his father is in front and he wrote with his own hand these verses of Racine under it: towards politics, the news of the day. Tlie Duke of Reichstadt having been nominated Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment of Zinlav, devoted himself with zeal to the command of the batal- lion entrusted to him. At 5 o’clock in the morning he was at the exercises.— TMs prevented tot the work of the even ing, which he [continued as before, and which he pushed until iate in the night. I went to see him drill. He acquitted himself well. This activity, too great for the state of Ms strength, for a feeble breast, for a temperament in labor and finishing to develop itself, subject to the malignant action of a humor which he had received of his father, made rise the disease of which he died a year after, An extinction of the \ oice, accompanied by iever, took place. The Duke Reichstadt was forced during fourteen days to suspend the manoeuvres and to live retired; «m advertisement of nature, of which they should have profited; make him renounce for two years a life which was fatal to him. They also should have sent him to dwell in a country of softer climate. Finally, neglecting noth iugthey might have consolidated a wav ering health and a feeble temperament, It is probable that this amiable young man might have been saved; but in stead of that, they treated lightly an in disposition of a grave character. Evii- intentioned people, among others a cer tain Kutschera, Aid-de-Camp-General of the Emperor, pretended tha t the Duke of Reichstadt was effeminated, and lacked energy, as he suffered him self to be so easily depressed. These remarks having reached him, wounded him deeply. From that moment he cemmitted voluntary imprudences, prove his courage. He loved hunting, and practiced it in an inconsiderate manner and in the worst weather. The effects of this regime were prompt and terrible. Accidents multiplied them selves, an £ soon there could not be any more hope to preserve his life. I saw bim tnen more often. My presence was agreeable to bim, and caused him wholesome recreation, v- It was at Sehoenbrunn, in the same room in which I had often seen Napo leon, that he received me. One day he slept, and they sent me off. They told him of it later, and he answered: “Why have you not a wakened me? This is the only man whose conversation interests or amuses me.” Another time, in the month of July, a few days before his death, I went to his residence and they announced me, He was terribly feeble and suffering; he answered: “Tell to the Marshal that am sleeping; I do not want him to see me in my misery.” He died on the 22d of July, the anni versary of tho battle of Salamanca,, s day which has thus b< come doubly funeste * for me.—Courrier des Ektls- Unis.
