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dy nasities of France have been short lived— , the houses of Valois, of Bourbon, of Or- , leans, have died out or been superseded, and that of Napoleon is but a collateral of him who was named by his flatterers the Man of Destiny-.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. The ten largest cities in the Union, in point of population, range thus in order; New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Balti more, Boston, Cineinu&tti, New- Orleans, St. Louis, Pittsburg; and Buffalo —Chiea go standing about equal with the last -named city. Yankee Stories —A New Englander, •riding in a railroad car, off sontluweSt somewherei seemed paftiUUlhfiy disposed 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 tioned, appealed to a friend as follows: “True, is’nt it, Mr. P.? I speak of Dea con Brown—you know Deacon Brown?” “Ye-e-s,” replied the friend, '“that is, jrcs; I know Deacon) Iddu'tkuow as I ev er heard precisely how many pounds of bdtter and cheese he made A year, but 1 know that he has twelve sawmills that all go by butternlilk. The Fruit Crop <Jf New Jersey. —The Newark Daily Advertiser States that the prospects in New Jersey, of a large yield of fruit, were never better than at the present time. The buds ate generally tin injured, and the lingering cold weathet will prevent them from swelling until the season is too far advanced td bate them suffer from high winds or frtfsts. F’hoir Singing in Synagogues.- -The novelty of choir singing has been introduc ed iuto the worship of the Green street Synagogue, New York. A visitor, de scribing the services, says that he Was much impressed by heariug sung one tff the psalms in the grand ar. “I know that my Redeemer livetb. 7 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 moßE. —The Democratic Review for De cember, 1855, having the Compromise measures of 1850, and events under consideration, 'tHtfs bpekks of Mr. Fillmore : “Momentous events were transpiring. The agitat on o the question of slavery was paramount in the public mind, In this crisis, it was well that sO reliable a man as Mr. Fillmore was found ih the Presidential chair. The safety and -per petuity of the Union were threatened.— Already had fanaticism raised its hydra head. Schemes and "isms”'leaped from a thousand ambuscades.

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 ing JVia’amselle 'Eve'; ailu she 'without 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.

Upon the conclusion of a marriage at a village church in England, a few weeks since, the bridegroom signed the register with “i.is mark.” T e pretty young bride did the same, and then, turning to ala ly who hAd known her as the best scholar in the school, whispered td her, while tears of love and admiration stood in her esyes, "He’s a dear fellow, miss, but , cannot write yet.

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. GREAT EXCITEMENT!
