the entire town. It left but one solitary

Th» Baltimore l«»»y>rtM.
Baltimore, Nov. 18,1854.
Jerome Bonaparte, eon of Jerome and
nephew of Emperor Napoleon, who was on
a visit to his cousin, the Emperor Louis
Napoleon, is now in our city. While in
France, himself and son, Lieut. Bonaparte,
were both neutralized and made citizens of
the French Empire. The father hod also
conferred upon him the title of Prince, and
the son was appointed to a lieutenancy in
the French army. Our Baltimore Prince,
however, seems to bear, his titled honors
with becoming republican simplicity. He
assumes no airs beyond other ordinary cit
izens, and is seen daily mingling in the vo
cations of business. The main passion and
pleasure of his life appeal's to be the obtain
ing, training and cultivation of horses. If
I mistake not, he would rather hold the
reins and drive a span of noble animals,
with a handsome establishment, than wear
the imperial crown. He entertains no po
litical ambition, has never aspired to it, and
probably never will. I saw him three days
ago, working intensely for some hours, en
deavoring to break one of his fine horses to
harness. Towards this end did he apply
his physical and mental energies with un
tiring assiduity and iron will, as did the old
Emperor in endeavoring to conquer Europe:
and I must say that he succeeded better, for
his purpose was finally accomplished, and
the animal moved off quite pliantly. lie is
a gentleman highly esteemed, unostenta
tious, and a valuable citizen. There is a
probability, however, that he may yet take
up his final abode in France, though the
owner of a very beautiful and valuable es
tate here. His son, the lieutenant, an ex
ceedingly amiable and accomplished young
gentleman, never exhibited anv extraordi
nary talent, though circumstances in his
new sphere of life may bring out and dis
cover the hidden gem.
Resolved, That in no spirit of faction,
opposition, but as law-loving and law-abid
ing citizens, for the peaceful testing ,,f
great fundamental principle, we again bin!)
ourselves to stand by each other on all n »
cessary occasions; and in cases of distraint
by officers of the law, that we will purchase
no property so distrained and offered f 0 !
sale repudiating all who, under such eircum
stances, shall purchase, as thereafter una-ori

that with an abiding faith in a just and true
issue, we hereby re-aifirm in every partly,

Our Army.
One niriety-fifth part of the entire Armv
of the United Stales was killed or wounded
by the Indians during the past year. y c .
tiie Indians have been remarkably peat-efti
during the twelve months, and Billy Bo,7-
legs has behaved “ first-rate,” as lie mil
when our Aldermen took him into the
tea room. The truth is, our Army is not
very much of an institution to boast of 7
far as numbers are concerned. Gather'&lj

it no difficult task nor need to make outlay

unsurveyed territories that are big with a*
many more.

erful alacrity, and is very happy, as ar;
also Sarah Ann and Elizabeth. You may
