The editors Chari® Scribner & Sons, of New York, havejust published a very interesting work entitled, “Life of Mttdutne Bonaparte.” We fiud therein of course the history of tlie marriage of Miss Elizabeth Patterson with Prince Jerome, brother of Napoleon I., and all the romantic and historic incidents of this event. A great number of docu ments arc joined to the work, but there ore looking certain letters which put in relief the ambition of this remarkable woman, particularly the ambition which she had conceived for the future of her ion, and the immense disappointment which she felt to see him marry, in spite of her wish, the daughter of a merchant of Baltimore, when all her life lias hod but one aim, that, to pre pare for him an alliance with some princely family of Europe. It was in 1829, beiuer in Florence, that Madame Patterson-Bonaparte re ceived the news of the marriage project formed between lier son, Jerome Napo leon Bonaparte, and Miss Williams.— She wrote immediately to her father under the impressic n of a first impulse of indignation and anger. We give lit erally this first letter, which is as a sum mary of the whole following corres pondence: "Bear Sir:— I have received your let ter of July 24. At present I am not able to answer you in length; indeed, I am unable to write more than three words at a time. You and the son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte have heard me say so often that I considered a mar riage between him and an American woman as so much beneath him, that I would never consent to it at any price. I cannot but repeat that; if this mar* riage takas place, I shall declare pub licly that I have not been consulted; that my consent has not been asked, and that my opinion is, and always has be§n, that he shall always live as a bachelor unless he can marry becoming ly among .his kin in Europe. Let him adjourn the marriage only one year, and in the interval he will see the folly to marry Miss Williams. Signed] E. Patterson.” This letter is dated Sept. 5, 1829. Several subsequent letters are gener ally conceived in the same spirit, except one .or two, where one feels a sort of in termittent resignation, nntil the last, which is dated November 11th, and wherein reproach, sarcasm and con tempt is thrown to her family arrows, which border on cruelty. We extract of this long correspondence several pas sages which,’ it is unnecessary to try to connect, because they express all the same sentiments under different forms. We give'them singly according to the order of the dates:-' “Florence.. 29th September.—I am calm now; calm enough clearly to ex press - my thoughts and wishes. My solemn, fixed and unalterable resolution that iny son never shall marry with toy consent, any woman in America. _ ily determination, which l have pre viously made known to you both, ver- oally audin writing, has always been for twenty years that he never shall a any in America. His education has alwvys had for an aim to prepare him to reside in Europe, sooner or Jater.— Mniust never marry unless into one of 'be grunfl European families, and if I can prevent it, if the authority of a mother is something, he will nevei de- 8r°y the prospects before Arm for less than xoOOjOM). That would still be very lit:— bo to excuse ns, you and me, to assist “W to marry beneath his rank. The :? e pjiew of Napoleon has not his equal w America. He could make a great Watch in England, where the value of tos name is known. I myself could wjve formed twei.ty better marriages W'U that proposed for him, but I have tv er forgotten that I had the honor to j'ave ent.-red into one, which made it . ^Possible for me to marry a person of tovwor rank. Poverty, solitude, isole- ment—three things which I abhor—have often been my lot; but I would never, have bad the baseness to marry unwor thily. I can never consent, and I will never consent for Jerome to marry Migg Williams, nor any other American miss. I have always written to Jerome in that sense‘find cannot be too much astonish ed at his lack of judgment in having ever the thought to sacrifice himself for bread and meat; for she is not rich enough to aflowjbim to live in splendor. I am of opinion that Miss Williams has too little to compensate for the wrong which a youDg man allied with the first families of Europe would do himself, to bind himself to Baltimore. If he would die of hunger he would have an excuse. If she Had 8500,000, so Ihat she could be taken far from her family,—and that he eould lire in Italy, for instance, that might do. But to live with §6,000 a year, there where she is.—that would not agree with the advantages which lie has. I hope that none will speak to me of affections, because that is a poor rea son. We all know how one overcomes the affections of man ' or woman, and that they are only fools who many for anything else but for relations or for a great fortune.” B ere the letters follow each other rapidly, and there are always the same protests. Evidently if Madame Patter- son-Bonaparte would have had the pow er, as Napoleon I. in 1805, she would have broken the engagement of her son, the same as he had broken that of his brother. We will endeavor to give still a few more quotations. Madame Bonaparte makes ho secret cf her avarice, which she nevertheless justifies by the object which she pur sues, and in the contrary she displays no false modesty in regard to her quali ties: “I am avaricious,” she say,s “that is a virtue which has been imposed upon me by my isolation and by necessity; but my love of money has never blinded me in regard to the true interests of my son; it has never hindered me to make all sacrifices which bis necessities and his advancement demanded. By means of steps which I have taken I procured for him a pension from his family, which without me he would never have had. If I would have left him in Amer ica, he would never have received this pension, nor the legacy of his uncle. I have worked to obtain forhi ma d van Urges of all kiuds. I solicited the interest of many persons in his favor, and I have not spared myself in any way for his future. My ambition, my beauty, and my in telligence rendered me unlit to ltve in America. Europe was the residence which became us, to me and my son. My position and bis resembled in noth ing that of American women aud their sons; we must have possessed a certain degree of stupidity and of baseness of sentiment for Baltimore to have been agreeable to us. At his age and with his advantage* he could marry a great deal better, and neither my situation nor bis are bad enough to charge these, people to sup port him. Money is a good thing and nobody knows it better than myself, but even money, unless the amount be very great, cannot justify anybody to descend from theiv rank.” We pass on without stopping at sever al letters, although there are many cu rious and characteristic passages. The authoress says in some place that she would just as soon look for a husband at Botany Bay, as to take one in America after having been the wife of a brother of au Emperor. She adds that Jerome, tbe son of a king, has not been treated as well in the affair of marriage as the sonsof apothecaries aud shopkeepers who have married American heiresses. As we have said, she regrets in sever al letters the violences to which she abandoned herself; then she resumes the tone of irony, and arrives, finally, to allusions, biting unto cruelty. Her father reproached her for having left America for tbe purpose of living abroad.- “The less you speak of my removal from my family,” she answers, “the better it will be. After my marriage it would have been absurd to wait, that I should descend from a prince to a mer chant and j ou should have sent me to ' Europe, if I would not have went there of my own accord. America was.no more . a residence becoming tome, and the treatment which 1 received even in the bosom of my family was -not made to ' reconcile me with her. I am convinced that you think I was right in separating myself, and that you have been glad of it. My son was des tined to live in Europe and I have tried to inspire into him the ppde and the ambition which I possess. But he had neither the one nor the other, and the efforts which I have made to push him, has had tlie same effect as to push a lock on top of a kilh You are penetra ting enough to comprehend that he lacks the qualities necessary to bo bril liant. I know it; but my affection for him has made me struggle .agains t that conviction and against his liumbie na ture. I Jiave labored for yearn to make ofliim a man of talent and to inspire him with elevated sentiments, which must distinguish the race of the greatest ge nius who has ever lived. I have not succeeded, God will forgive me.’ 1 The son of Madame Paiterson-Bona- parte died nine years before his moth er, who has left her immense fortune to be divided between her two grandsons. Col. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and Mr. Charles T. Bonaparte. “The oldest,” says seriously theNew York Belaid, “is the only legitimate heir of the Napoleonic dynasty,^ and when we consider th6 extraordinary events which have occnrred since a cen tury,- we think that perhaps a day may come when an American Bonaparte wiil ascend the throne cf France.” Why not the throne of the United States? There is as much chance f> r that, if not more.—Cavrrier des Elals- j Unis. BYRON NOTES. (Laid over from last week.) A flood of rain fell Monday, Cotton will not make as much as it promised a few weeks ago, somo rust and shedding. The Hon. J F Sikes came home last- Friday to spend a few days. He thinks the legislature will not likely adjourn before the 20th or 30th inst., nor does he think the Goldsmith impeachment trial will necessarily prolong the session, though the session is already long, he is of tbe opinion that much benefit will result to tbe State, ana|the people—;'n fact, that is tbe most important --legisla tive sessions held in Georgia for many years, He is eyidently much enlisted in the cause of his constituency, contend ing strongly for economy and retrench ment. The diningroom and smoke-house of Mr. T B Goff were broken into a few niglti ago,and much.provision, crOcker- ry and dining furniture purloined and carried away therefrom. This is the fourth time the burglars have preyed upon Mr Goff's culinary department within the last six months, - and some times after these breaks he would be compelled to go to town and purchase dishes and cutleiy before breakfast-, so near did they take everything. There have been twenty-eight burglaries com mitted in Byron in twenty-four months, averaging over one burglary per month, and in a town the population of which does not exceed 175. Stronger than all there has not been one burglar eaptiir- ed yet, however, this does not speak much for the vigilence and efficiency of the police. The gas well at Byron is no longer a thing of curiosity aud nothing marks the spot where it was, cave a small heap of sand and clay. The contractors con tinued to bore, hoping to reach a more sufficient supply of the aqueous article, until they bored one hundred and five or ten feet, when the auger came in contact with a rock that it could not penetrate; hence the job was abandoned. Tbe council may make another efiovt to procure water iu the street; It is currently rnmoied that when the airy or gasy current was discovered, it was ap prehended on the part of some, at least one, of the citizens of Byron that this escaping air was no little thing af ter all, so strongly did this idea rest up on his mind that “night’s deep dark ness” brought him uo rest; he weared along through the night on Lis downy pillow, till three o’clock, and yet no sleep. He could iorbeav no longer, he rose as to a sense of duty aud called his servant “George,” the answer came in a drowsily slumbering manner “Sir-r-r.’ “Get my Mary mule, ride down town and examine that well, put your hand in the gas and see if it is hot, if it is hot come bace qu ; ck and let me kuow.” The servant returned after a short ab- scence, stating that the escaping gas was perfectly cooL This information was a source of neeesary relief to him who had apprehended the gas well was sure evidence of a burning volcano be low, that it would soon be emitting from its bowels a huge quantity of smoke and melted lava, eqnal to that of Vesn- vions, he fell back on his pillow, with a sigh of relief, and slept sweetly the re mainder of the night. However, it is held now by men of cool and mature judgment that there is no danger of an explosion, and that the Editor of The Home Journal need not stay away from Byron any longer, through fear of being “blown up” The ladies festival at Byron last Wednesday evening was a success finan cially aud socially. - Much praise is due these ladies for their enterprising determination to build a new enreb in Byron. The Congregational Methodist held their District meeting ai Society Hill, 8 miles North West, last week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The attendance was very large and the meeting was re garded aa-quite interesting. Young men of Byron and community will have a debate at Waites’ Hall Fri day night, Ladies and the public are invited to attend, the subject for discussion is not announced until the night of the-debate. A new store will be opened in Byron in a few days. It will be a millinery enterprise estab lished by Mrs. Gaddy, recently of Sontli Carolina. The public load from DuPreeville to Byron, part of the road complained of recently in the Fort Valley Mirror by “subscriber," is being put in first rate order under tbe superintendance of Mr M. A. Jackson. Subscriber can now tread this road with safely at night without “getting in a gully” unless he be tight. Ceemde. FORT VALLEY ITEMS. Editor Home Journal:— Two weeks have passed since we wrote you, and nothing of importance bos oc curred in thac time of. importance to give you. Since last Friday we have been having frequent showers, and it is to be hoped that- Elbert Fagan has at last had rain. Too late for him to bring in the “big stalk of corn from the guano heap, and tell the ‘boys’ his crop is all like that.” The summary of the oldest inhabi tant doesn’t go back to the time when we have had such cool weather in August. Cotton is slowly,—only about 50 bales up to date,—although prices -good.— Sold yesterday at 10J cts, Mrs. Henry R. Cape was buried Sun day,—had been sick some time. Our Justice court came very near conflicting in jurisdiction with the Hon. Ordinary, last Thursday in a trial of a possessory warrant to obtain possession of some cattle that had been estrayed, but our C. J. dismissed the warrant, which was certoraried Business is picking up some, which is gratifying to our merchants who have in their full stocks. The Congregational Methodists held their District Conference at Society Hill Church in Crawford county Friday and Saturday. There was a'full attendance and the prospects of that branch of the church is bright. L J Thomas of York was clerk and will I guess give our coun ty papers something to say about the .meeting. We know he ought to. You ought to send Joel Mann, Brun son or some other good man up here to camp out and talk up the Fair. “Let them bring their supplies” They could do .some good. There has been no mar riages, fires or other destructive elements visited our community since last we wrote lyish we could have something of the kind to vary the monotony. Say to our Sunday Advertiser, for the present we will be heard from - . E O Week. Fort Valley Gp. September 3d. To Farmers, Common sense and observation will prove the following to be true, if ad hered to: First, cotton sa ; d to have the rust, so-called, nine timesrout-of ten is load ed with bolls, and for want of plough ing dies in maturing the heavy crop of early bolls. The plant first sends out snrface roots which collect as they go, sap or plant-food. As the length of these roots is limited they soon begin to become hard and dry, and fail to give furtbeitJioiirishnient to the plant. The plant then must matnre from the leaves, bark aud other substances, which is death to the plant and early bolls. — Cotton requires a certain amount of cul tivation to cause the plant to sprout and send forth a healthy stalk, and then it must be stlri ed again to send forth the first crop of bolls, and then a third time, to send forth the late crop. By not keeping the ground properly stirred,, it becomes as a close and crowded room of people; the life-preserving qualities of tbe air soon become exhausted, and if uo fresh air is admitted would soon die, as d( >es cotton when not properly stirred ; for it breaks up these old roots, admits fresh air and moisture into the boil, and the plants soon put out new roots and begin to grow again, and the so- called rust is seen no more. Father. say that Cety wavo has only two or three followers with him, and Zulu arms and cattle are being surrendered to thc| British troops daily. PREMIUM LIST ” two heads cabbage, ’’dozen tomatoes.. . HOUSTON COUNTY FAIR, j ” half-dozen beets. A dispatch from Capetown dated Angust 9tb states that Amrakaze, lying Cetywayo’s new kraal, has been burned, and he was being closely pur sued. At last accounts he Lad still elu- ^ ded his pursuers’. Sir Garnet Wolseley understand the requirements of the The End of the Wobld.-A lecture de livered at the Berlin Dnivercity some three months ago, by Professor Dubois- Reymond, bears the ominous title, “The End of Our World” and says that every movement upon onr planet, with excep tion of the ebb and flod^’which are caused by the attraction of the moon, is caused by solar heat. As, however, the sun loses eveiy year a portion of his caloric, sci ence has lately come to the conclusion that he will not exist as an emitter of warmth longer than fori seventeen mil lion years to come. During that space of time onr earth will get colder and cold er, in proportion as the solar heat shall diminish. The ice will advance from tbe poles to the equator; the earth’s population will gradually recede before the advancing glaciers; the sun will be come less and less luminous, until he will present the appearance of a dark red ball, and finally ice will annihilate all vitality on t nr planet. 'A mess meeting of workingmen was held on Sunday in Hamilton Park, N, Y. Addresses were made by David Conroy, Mr. McCurry and others, setting forth that the condition of the workingmen at present is worse than slavery, and that the republican party bad persecuted the working party and were responsible for tramps. Resolutions were adopted endorsing Denis Kearney for his masterly leadership cf the Working men’s party in California, and his action in advocating the ballot and not the bul let; also declaring that none hut work ingmen shall be elected to office, as they TO BE HELD AT Perry, Georgia, Wednesday and Thursday, OCTOBER 1st and 2nd, 1879.
