The Napoleon Dynasty.
The'cnrnage of the Crimean battlefields
has ceased, if the indications which have
transpired of the tone and prbgressof the
Conferences can be relied on. The ravine
of Inkerraann, which was once so deeply
crimsoned, now is blue with violets the
'beantifal harbor of Balaklava is not pollu
ted with blood, and the hostile
ments a-e enjoying the armistice which Is
to be succeeded by a permanent peace.—
The despotisms of Europe, after a parox
ysm of warlike fury, which now, as always,
asserts no principle, advance no interest
of humanity, and only adds to history the
names of a few battle fields and the record
of a peace, are about to relapse into their
usual grim and' armed repose. The deli
rium of Kings Only causes the suffering of
r 'fli'elr people.
The peace ofParis of 1856—for wemay
consider this a settled fact—comes in time
to inaugurate, with the birth of an heir,
the full adoption, a second time, of the
Napoleonic dynasty. The pretext of the
war was undoubtedly the pushing forward
’ Os Russia too rapidly on Constantinople,
the great key of Eastern Empire, but had
the Czar cordially ack lowlekged the new
Emperor it mig t not have taken place,
and a partition of Turkey might have been
. the substitute for the siege of Sevastopol
: in history. Now, with the recognition of
the new dynasty comes the birth of a scion
' of the re-planted stock of the Napoleons.
'French vanity, after having been sated
'with military glory, turns to the more in
' nocent, but still national passion for dis
■ t> la y-
The principle topic of the moment is
this accouchement in the purple, surroun-!
' ded by all the pomp of velvet baby cloths
' and the congratulations of the Congress
■of Diplomatists. The change is great from
the infernal fire of the bombardment of
the Malakoff, to the drinki g'Of eaadle in
golden vessels to the health Os the young
NapOleOn. We cOnhss that we feel a
' to'elalicholy interest in the birth of this iti
f noceiit child of the seCOhd fbnnder Os the
'■ertipire'Of Napoleon. No one can fore’sCe
the fate of the infant whose birth has been
hailed with such demonstrations of imperi-,
u 1 pomp and popular rejoicings. The dy
nasities of France have been short lived— ,
the houses of Valois, of Bourbon, of Or- ,
leans, have died out or been superseded,
and that of Napoleon is but a collateral
of him who was named by his flatterers
the Man of Destiny-.
A course like that which was to follow
the builder of ancient Jericho, seems to
pursue the French monatchs •; they lay
the foundations of theii* erhpires ifi the
passing away of their children. "Less than
half a century aud the same ceremonies
which have been performed at the birth of
a King of Algiers were the g feetihg 'Of a
King of Rome. The sons of the actors
in the former interlude of empire, are
found as physicians at the b- A tide, and rep
resentatives of the State and the army,
but the conqueror of Austerlitz and his
heir arc dust. For what fate this infant
is reserved is idle to speculate ; at host he
succeeds to a patrimony of care and dan
ger, and the child of the poorest peasant,
born on the 16th of March, 1856, need
not envy the palaces and the titles, the
robes and the jewels of the little Kings ol
Algiers'— N. Y. News.
Another Instance of Spontaneous
Combustion.— The Galveston News relates
the following : A few days since we pub
lished an instance of spontaneous combust
t ion of cotton seed, and consequent loss
of considerable property by lire. A friend
lias since handed us a letter from Col.
< Yoze, written Irorn his plantation, on the
I Oth instant, in which he says : “I came
near having my gin, mill, and thirty or for
ty bales of cotton burnt up, a few days
since, by the pile of cotton seed that had
been thrown out, taking fire, in conse
quence of being overheated. Fortunate
]y, some hands, who were working near
bv, discovered the smoke and gave the
al irm. Mr. Lamotte hastened to the spot
with all his force ; and with hoes and wa
fer they succeeded in putting out the fire,
bit not without the gr atest difficulty,
l aboring from 3 A. M. till 1 P. M. Would
it not be well to have planters put upon
their guard against the great risk they
run, in permitting large heaps of green
cotton seed to accumulate around their
gins?” There is, indeed, no doubt, that
many of the fires by which cotton gins and
large amounts of cotton are frequent
ly consumed, originate from the same
cause.

Yankee Stories —A New Englander,

t'3 AStOuish the Other passengers with tough
stories about Yanketown. At last be
mentioned that one of his neighbors own
-ed an immense dairy, and made a million
pounds of butter and a million pounds of
cheese yearly. This story produced some
sensation, and the Yankee perceiving that
Its veracity was in danger of being ques

“True, is’nt it, Mr. P.? I speak of Dea

“Ye-e-s,” replied the friend, '“that is,

Ptioit Jones.—The New York Herald
thus demolishes a Rev. Mr. Willard Jones
who has been writing fire and brimstone
anti-siavery letters in the Tribune:
"What 'he reverend Mr. Jones means
by fighting against God is fighting aainst
Jones: so far as he sees, Jones, or at least
they are so closely allied, and it is so ut
terly impossible for Jones to be wrong in
interpreting God’s word; that they may
be used as convertible names. When
Jones wants a tiling, Jongs says that God
wants it ; God declares if Jones is baffled,
or kept waiting, or otherwise anndyed,
that He is against those who thus baffle
or annoy His servant Jones—at least
Jones says so —and woe to the perverse
mortals who tuns "war against God.”—
All this is as old at least as the 'Oracle of
Delphi. There never has been so poor a
knave who could not somehow make out
that God was oil his side, and that hlsen
emies were inspired by the devil-.”
The Democratic Review on Mr. Fill

“Momentous events were transpiring.

The First Marriage Ad Ait'S SVed
ding. --An English journal, theßfifannia,
has an amusing article uriddr 'the tifeiid of
“Adam’s Wedding.” The editor says
that he likes short courtships, and in this
Adam like a sensible man—he ferl asleep
a bachelor, and awoke to find himself a
married man. He appears to have “pop
ped” r tlie 'ifheStlOh tfnrrtldcHbltePy after meet

flirtation or shyness, gave him a kiss and
herself. ( (!if that first kiss in the World we
have had, however, our OWh thou hts, and
sometimes in poetical rt/Ood have wis ed
we were the man that did it. But the deed
is or <vos done-the chance was Adam’s
And he ‘itfcpiWed it. We like the notion
Os getting married in a garden ; it is in
good taste. We like a private wedding,
and Adam’s was strictly private, No
envious beaux were thebe', no' croaking
old maids, no chattering aunts, and grumb
ling grand-mothers. The birds of heaven
were ministre’s, and the gland sky shed its
light upon the scene. Our thinking about
the first wedding brings queer ideas into
our heads, spite of scriptuul truth. Ad
am and his wife were rather young to be
married ; some two or three years old, ac
cording to the sagest speculations of the
ologists—mere babies—larger, but not
older —without a house, without a pot
or kettle—nothing but love and Eden !
Who is to be the Democratic Nominee?
—The Washington correspondent of the
New York Express makes the following
prediction of the results of the Cincinnati
Democratic Convention:
“It seems now almost certain that Gen.
Pierce will go into the Democratic Con
vention with ' early a majority vote in his
favor. The South is firm in Miis respect,
and enou : h Northern votes can doubtless
be had to pive him perhaps a clear major
ity on the first ballot A short time ago
I would not have believed this, but I am
satisfied from recent indication, as well as
facts that have come to my knowledge,
that such is really the case.. Mr. Buch
anan’s chances are second, and those of
Mr. Douglas t ird, as the Convention will
organize. If neither is successful at the
outset, .they will probably all be dropped,
and the choice rest on either Mr. Hun
ter, of Virginia, or Mr. Rusk, of Texas.
Should either of the Northern men be
nominated, Mr. Rowell Cobb, of Georgia,
will be the candidate for Y ce President;
but should a Southern min succeed, then
Mr. D ckenson, of New York, or Senator
Bigler, of Dennsylvainia, will doubtless be
selected. These are the opinions of the
most Sagacious men Os the party, whp pro
fess td be most thoroughly acquainted with
fill the chances and schemes on foot. Mr
Rusk has many friends who are laboring
zealously in his behalf: itis Abilities are
fair and he is quite as worthy of the post
th n as the one Whb n >Vr Occupies it, but I
think the South would more cordially rah
lyon Mr. Hunter, who is by faf Mr. Rusk’s
superior in eVety respect. Mark my pro
phecies.”

[From the Mobile Advertiser ]
' ‘capital April Fool Hoax.
The Evening News of yesterday tells
the following story :
Completely Sold. —As the Citronelle
train was on its downward trip to this ci
ty yesterday morning, an incident occur
red that caused no little amusement to the
passengers. As the train was approach
ing eight mile station, a lady quite ele
gantly attired, with a lovely boquet of
wiid Blowers in hand, and face concealed
from view by a handsome veil, was discov
ered standing on the platform. The tram
was ordered to stop, of course, to take in
the fair passenger—and stop it did The
gallant commander immediately Jllmpeti
out upon the platform, cried out sis usual,
“all aboard 1” at the same time faiSlite his
hat and pol tely extending his blind tb
e!p the lady aboard. She, howeVer, and and
not recognize his gallantry, but stood
dumb and motionless as a statiie; Tile
astonished conductor advanced, invbliinta
rdy raised the veil, when, Lo! instead of a
face ol iemale flesh and beauty, the words
"April Fool,” inscribed on a black "light!
wood chunk,” met his astonished vision 1 -
He started back, gave the signal to be |
off with unusual violence, jumped aboard, j
exclaiming to the innocent engineer in a
stentorian voice, “who the told youl
to stop here!”
The sequal to the story was richer than
the foregoing. When the Mississippi train
came along, a few hours later, the conduc
tor observed a female figure standing in
the middle of the track, apparently going
toward the c ty. The train was on a de
scending grade, consisted of eight cars
pretty well loaded, and was going with
cOnSidefAbite Speed. Conscious of all this,
the condtictbr had the whistle sounded fu
riously arid shrilly, yet the figure moved
not. She must be deaf thought the con
ductor, arid ordered to slacken speed and
sound another alarm—but the woman
still stood in the direct pat i of the fire
breathing locomotive ; while the distance
between the two was being rather uncom
fortably decreased.
Now, really alarmed, the conductor
shouted to shut the brakes hard dcfwri and
shut off steam ; but it was tod !Atfe‘. ’the
cars would not stop, and terrible td relate,
the cow-catcher caught the sinpdsed wo
man and tossed.her full twenty feet off to'the
horror of passengers, and the 'undisguised
terror of assistant superintendent, conduc
tor and engineer, floating through whose
excited brains were uncomfortable visions
of inquest, grandjury, solicitor, etc. When
the train stopded they hurried pailid with
cheeks and throbbing hearts, to the spot
where the poor unfortunate rested, and
lo ! it was the same bit of wood, with the
same “April Fool” stamp that so troubled
the Citronelle conductor. Just then a
merry pealofiaughter came f om the neigh
boring wood, and a bevy of girls were
seen enjoying something very much. It
tilfued out that they were the clever au
thors of the double hoax, and they arc en
titled td a (jffemium for the success of their
iflTriritidu.

“ Bleued art the Dud which die In the Lord.'*
Mrs. ElizaSstli Sherburne, the subject of
this brief notice. Was bbrn in Liberty County.
Ga., 1805, and departed this life, in the city of
Atlanta, ohfheThoruing of the 30th of March
last.
She professed religion, and united with the
Baptist Chiifch in 1823, the 18th year of her
life, hnd tb the blffise of her pilgrimage, beauti
fully . illustrated the power of Divine Grace
upon the hiiih'ah heart.
Having a well balanced rnind, to which were
Buperudtled.'the influences of a living, vital pie
ty, Mrs. S. was “ a burning and shining light.”
ih the circle of those who came within the
rhnge of her influence.
Her last illness was protract jd. and of great
severity, yet through all, God’s Grace was found
sufficient, and enabled her to triumph over the
“ last enemy.”
It has seldom been the privilege of the wri
ter, to witness the “ patient endurance” q[ suf
ferings so intense and long continued, witksuch
Christian meekness and fortitude. No mur
mur or repining found place in her heart, or es
caped her lips.
As she neared death, confidence in the reli

the filial conflict, her departing spirit parsed
triumphantly away.

Earth’s woes, and found a home with 'God, aiid
