The C*i[»ltillation of Paris.
About the middle of January, 1814, tbo allied
army, in several division-!, crossed the Rhine. On
the 25th Napoleon left the Tuileries, aud took
command of hia little army, mostly of raw recruits,
to repel the iuvadera. The allies proclaim ed that
every French peaBant, taken with arms in his hands,
should be shot as a brigand, and tbat every village
or town making any resistance should be burned.
Napoleon rodo one hundred miles east of Paris to
St. Dizier, and here, at the head of a few thousand
troops, fell upou one ofthe advancing columns of
the foe, led hy lilueticr. He routed them and
scattered them like leaveB iu a whirl-wind. Then
instantly turning be marched fifty miles to Troyea,
through mud and rain and snow, the wheels often
sinking to the hubs. On the 29th, with but 20,000
meu, he came suddenly upon 60,000 Russians, near
Brieune. " Before the"euu went down, 10,000 of
those Russians were dead upon the plain, and the
remnant were in precipitate retreat,"
The next day the fugitives effected ajtinetion
with another division of the army, and with battalions 150,000 strong, returned to crush doomed
Napoleon. The Emperor had also gathered rein-
fbrcementa, and had -10,000 men to meet their assault. Through another day of tumult and blood
tho terrible battlo raged, till again the wintry
night darkened the scene. Overpowered by numbers, Napoleon waB compelled to retreat, leaving
6,000 of his little baud dying aud dead on the
ground. Alexander of Russia, and Fredrick William of Prussia, from a neighboring bight, witnessed this triumph of their troops. The exultant
allies now crowded from all directions upon
Tarts.
Napoleon retreated six miles down tho Seine to
Nogeot. Two hundred thousand Austrians pursued him. Blucher, with 70,000 men, was descending the Marne, fifty miles distant from the Seine.
Wellington, with an immense army, was coming
up from the South, Benardotte, with uncounted
legions, was advancing from the North.
Napoleon, leaving 10,000 men to retard the advance of 200,000, by a forced march through mud
to tho axles of his carriages, with 30,000 meu
crosaed to the Marne, fell as uexpectedly as a
thunderbolt upon the flank of Blucher, and scattered hia army as wolves do sheep. The next day
Blucher, with reserves swelling his host to 00,000
advanced to meet Napoleon. Again he was defeated, and driven back with enormous slaughter.
In au extraordinary march of thirty-Bix hours,
Napoleon hurried back to tbo Soine. The Austrians, 300,000 in number, were now in the vicinity
of Foutainbleuu.—Napoleon with 40,000 advanced
to moet them. For a whole day ha resisted all
their efforts, with his own hands aiding the artil-
lorymen iu their herculean toils. When night
came, this whole allied army was on the retreat,
and Napoleon waa vigorously pursuing tbem,
With Alexander and Fredrick in the midst of the
fugitives, they fled back one hundred and sixty
miles to Cbaurnout. It was iu the midst of these
terrific scenes that Napoleon held a brief interview
with Josephine, and said to her :
"JoBOphine, I have beeu as fortunate aa was
ever man upon the face of this earth.—
But in this hour, whoa a storm is gathering over
my head, I have not, in this wide world, any one
but you upon whom I can repose."
The Allies were astounded at these defeats. But
they had enormous reserves, amounting to a million of men, to bring up. With vast reinforcements they divided their army iuto two hands, oue
to descend the Marne, the other the Seine, Tho
former river enters the latter but a few miles from
Paris. Again Napoleon crossed to tho Marne, aud
with 30,000 troops drove 100,000 Austrians before
him. Iu tho midst of their route Beruadotte appeared with 2.3,000 fresh men, to join the Austrians.
and Napoleon was compelled to retire, the enemy
not daring to pursue him in his despair.
The 30,000 Austrians, now upon the Seine,
pressed forward with alacrity, while Wellington,
with a vast force of Eulgsh, Portuguese, and Spaniards, was advancing from Bordeaux. Another
army of the AllieB had also crossed the Alps from
Switzerland, and had reached Lyons. With
amazing celerity Napoleon crossed the Marno to
the Seine, and fell upon the Austrians with _uch
fury that they turned and fled.
Napoleon was now about two hundred miles from
Paris, on the Seine. Tbo Allies had gathered an
army of 300,000 at Chalona, on the Marne, a hundred miles nearer Paris, and were marching with
the utmost rapidity to reach the city before Napoleon could get there. In ono day, through the
miry roads, Napoleon-, heroic band marched nearly fifty miles, iu the endeavor to reach the city before the enemy. At midnight, with the advance
guard of hia army, he reached Troyes. It w
cold, dark, dismal uigbt. He could see, far away
across the couutry, the whole horizon illuminated
with the bivouac fires of his foes. With a small
detachment he galloped along the road aud entered the litlo village of La Cour. The church clock
was just lolling twelve. To his surprise he
groups of disbanded soldiers marching away from
Paris, lie rode into the midst of them exclaim
ing, "How is this? Why are not these soldiers
marching to Paris V
Geueral  Beliiard, a friend of tho Emperor,
cognized his voice, aud coming forward, said:
" Paris has capitulated. The enemy enters tomorrow, two hours after   sunrise."
Tbe Emperor seemed stunned by tli*.: blow. For
a moment uot a word was uttered. Cold drops of
agony oozed from his brow. With straggling step
he walked backward and forward  on tne rugged
favement, bewildered with the enormity ol hia woe,
t waa a night of agony such as is rarely exper
ienced ou earth. With his faithful troops here-
paired to Fontaiubleu, and thence to Lis. ovile in

Tlii- Romance of Pact.
Tbe New "York correspondent of the Buffalo Com-
mercial Advertiser tell a straoge story, whose denouement I'lis recently been accomplished iu New
York. In 1856, a young Englishman was obliged
by jieeuniaiy disaster to leave his wife and enter
the British army in India. His father-in-law
soon contrived to publish a report of bis death,
aodlmarried the widow—not a very disconsolate
one it seems—to a wealthy se;-, captain; sea captain
and wife came to New Tori;; sea captain died*
leaving a fortune of SG0,000. Meanwhile the Ural
huband who really loved his wife, beard of her second marriage ; plunged into dissipation, was court-
martialed for some offence committed in a drunken
brawl, and dismissed tbo service ■ he also came to
New York ■ where, destitute, despairing, miserable, bis old habits clung to bim ; be sank rapidly
from dissipation into crime, and iu September last
was sentenced to three years imprisonment for forgery. Ou tbe day tbat he went to Sing Sing, he
gave a reporter who visited him a Bible, a preseut from his wife on their wedding day ; "I gave
her one precisely like it." Tiie reporter took th
Bible, aud probably forgot the giver.
On New Year's day, however, he was visitin.
bis friends aod at one house he saw the counter
part of the convict's Bible ; it belonged to ber who
was the widow of her second husband while slill
the wife of her first. Au interview took place,Bibles were compared, stories told, circumstance.-* explained. All the old love came back to the woman's heart ; all a woman's persistent energy waa
summoned up. Important people seen, efforts i_ade>
letters obtained, and tbe wife finally succeeded in
procuring her husband's pardon from the Governor. She hurried to the prison, and laBt week
threw open tbe doors to bim who had uo hope ol
crossing tbe threshold for long and weary years.—
So tbe wealth of the eea-farer, tbe useful second
husband solaces the first one, wbo had been bo
soon forgotten ; and man aud wife, so strangely reunited, havo returned to England, where some of
the ignominious particulars of tbeir history are
not known. One an unwitting bigamist, the other
a pardoned felon; yet both belonging originally
to the respectable classes in life. But both are
still  young, and have strangely enough good pro-

clarum et venerabite nomen.     Mr. George Chalmers, it is said, met with a volume in the labyrio
thai recesses ofthe old British Museum co:it:i![iin:
some printed papers, with the title of the English
Mercuric, purporting to have been printed io 15SS
at the time ofthe Spanish Armada, uud containing accounts ofthe early conflicts between the enemy  and tho   British   Admirals.     Too credulous
and exceedingly elated with his wonderful discovery, he attributed it to the ''genius of Elizabeth
and sagacity of Burleigh."   From his representation, the  elder D'Israeli and other distinguished
writers were readily snared into the same belief,
and thence mauy other literary meu on the continent regarded thia as the venerable patriarch of
newspapers.    That, however, which cau justly lay
claim  to this distinguished title and honor, appeared in the  reign of King James I. Nathaniel
Butler   stands before us as the   patriarch of the
whole family of journalists.   It iB true that before
his time occasional sheets o! news on some new or
extraordinary topic were written by others, and sold
for a small sum through the streets, "hut he and

THE   LAW   OF   TSH_ASO__
[FROM  8.  T.  TIMES.]
The late decision of Mr. JuBtice Swayne, tho
recently appointed Justice of tbe Untied Slates
Supreme Court quashing indictments found against
various parties for treason, takes somewhat different views of the law from those which have been
presented in some other quarters. Tlie indictments
charged the offence (o have been committed contrary to that provision of the ptatute of 1790,
which affixes the penalty of death to the crime of
"adhering to the enemies" of the United States"
'■giving them aid and comfort':—aud they are
quashed on the broad ground that this provision
of the statute is inapplicable to the present slate
of things, because tbe rebels are not enemies ol the
United States withiu the meaning of tbe statute,
The question of what is and what is not treason
has been discussed by several of our Judges in their
charges to grand juries, but we do nol remember
to have seen thiB view of the law alluded to. On
tbe contrary, uuless we are mistaken, some of them
have expressly charged that this provision was
applicable to the rebellion, and have proceeded to
define what it was to give aid and comfort to the
rebels. It doce not follow from this, however, tbat
Judge Swayne is mistaken in his conception of the
law. On the contrary, his decision, coming after
these various grand jury charges, and upon argument of the question, ie, if anything, more likely
to be correct. The process of reasoning by which
lie arrives at this conclusion is brie!, and hence
more likely to be accurate. It ie simply that the
words of our statute, being taken from tho English
Statute, must be held to have been meant in the
same sense as theEnglish statute. This proposition
be supports by several decisions of the Supreme
Court. lie also shows by extracts from English
uthoritiea that tbe "enemies" alluded to in the
English statute were "thesubjects of foreign powers with whom we are at opeu war." This being
bo, it follows inevitably that those who have given
,id and comfort to tbe rebels are not guilty of trea-
on, under thiB branch of the statute.
But we are not to conclude from this that wo
-.re remediless in this matter, and that all that
pestilent brood of traitors who have done tbeir utmost to assist tbe rebellion aB far as they dared,
but have not dared to take up open arms iu ivs
support, are to go seot free. It would be frightful
t were so. There are no men who deserve puu-
ishment more than some of these very men. Aud
hence we draw comfort from these very words of
Blackstone, tbat "most indisputably the tame acts
of adherence oraid which (when applied to loreign
enemies) will constitute treason under this branch
■f the statute, will (when afforded to our own fellow subjects in actual rebellion at borne) amount
lo high treason under the description of levying
war against the King."
The EbpdbUOAN Tax.—It is estimated by tbe
Chicago Journal, a well known Republican sheet,
tbat the tax on articles ot consumption, such as
BUgar. tea, spices, meat, soap, etc, as proposed tn
the bill before Congress, will be equal to $7 a year
to each person, or $-12 fora family of six members.
This is in addition to income tax and the tnx upon
luxuries. A man of family having $1,000 a year
salary, will hardly get off with less than $75 tax
levied in one way or another.
The ancient aphorism, " by the Bweat of thy
brow thou shalt earn tby bread." needs correcting
in theBe "happy Licoln times." It were better to
read "by tbe double distilled sweat" etc. Tbe
poor laborer will ascertain very soon, that it wi!|
require more toil and sweat to earn a half-way
respectable livelihood after the tax bill goes into
effect, than it did to live ' like a fighting cock.
while the country was under tbe prosperous rule
of Democracy. The masBes need not be told that
they were shamefully betrayed by the Republican
leaders in 18G0 ; that the cry of "Retrenchment aud
Reform" waa illusory ; tbat the promise made of
''good times" coming was an audacious lie. Tbe
people have learned to their sorrow tbat "all tbat
glitters is not gold."	
An account of the Pittsburg battle says tbat
tbe Mississippi brigade "dashed like a fierce wave
upon our left wing." Tbat brigade may have
been a big wave, but its subsequent motion wan a
big waver.
"The   llnrlmi'ltlr- uf t_M Smith."
There is a class of men in our mid. t who, while
they hnve done mon.; to brim- iiboiU the prcst-nt civil war tlui-i ;iny other portion of the community
have done less towards furnishing the men and ma-

for the country, this olass ex&ttjlaea kb tn&uenos
wliich is out of nil prop-iriion to its actual strength

Tta success, therelore, is one oi those accidental oft
cuniatances which oeamoiinly occur in countries
where* plutiiliiicM n.s well as in ijoruies obtain posses
aion of the Government, In this case, however, tbis
chis-t is --HoiY-.l im-.hii.! control by an administration
tthlofc claims to be both national and con-ervativo.
The worst feature which it lu*-.. developed is that bit.
ter, deadly antagonism which it seeks to infuse into
the mind of the North towaftlfl the South. Entirely
igBoriog the great object of thia struggle, they would
impart to it al! tbe prejudice and hatred of a war O
races. It was the vile tools of tins party who, while
they shrank from ;;i*.'et;iu' Southern courage on lhe
battle Geld, wore among the first to circulate reports
of tbe inhumanity nnd cruelty of tho rebel enemy
towards the wounded soldiers of tho Union. Thus,
placards were posted in the most conspicuous places
throughout the city after the battlo of Bull Run,
Btfttlog that the body of Inout. (Jol. Kaggerty had
heen treated with the most fiendish barbarity, and
that hia throat hud been cut from car lo ear. Wo
did not hesitate at the lime to denounce Ihis fabri
catiou as it deserved, and the sequel proved the cor.
rectness and tho justice of our course, .More recently, however, the designs of this clas.s havo been
made still more apparent iu the Statements publish
ed in a portion of the press, detailing atrocities of
still more fiendish ehnraclcr on the part of on
Southern fellow-countrymen. A grave and pretentious document was drawn up by a Committee Of
Congress, Belting forth at considerable length
number of circumstances intended to fasten ypon
the South the perpetration of crimes of the most;
diabolical depravity. In fact, in reading over thia
terrible record, it forcibly reminded us of the horrid
compound of tlio witches' cauldron in Macbeth.
We were seriously told that the bodies of the
Northern soldiers were dug out of the festering
trenches, the limbs had beeu hewn off, tho flesh
either scraped or boiled off their bones, while Hie
bones themselves had been fashioned or moulded
into various forms as trinkets for Soutberu lad ies.
If our memory serves us right, tbe skulls u__W-
weiu mil: same process, and are now nsi'd as drink-
Log oops by the ''Southern Chivalry." In the manufacture of the evIdeQOfJ on whicb these statements were based, there is not even the slightest
claim to originality. They are of the same Btyle
and character of Itiwhead-nnd bloodybonea stories
wherewith foolish nurses from time immemorial
bave beeu in the habit o( frightening rclractory
children. As for tbe drinking cups made out of
human skulls, it Is evidently a plagiarism on the
Sagas of the old Northern Skalds, a Transatlantic
version of a drinking bout in tbo Walhalla. Assuming, however, tbat al] these statements arc
true, ia tbo whole South to be branded and stigm;
tized for these exceptional atrocities? But two
short years ago, we ot the North would have been
foremost in repelling so odious, so revoltin,
charge upon our national character. If these
Southern men are Americans—if they aro of tbe
same blood and descended Irom tho heroes of our
Revolutionary struggle—if we are sincerely desirous of still living iu union with them—is it the
part of policy or patriotism to denounce them as
the vilest of wreiches, and to bold them up to the
execration of mankind !
Let ub tear the mask off these insidious enemies
of the Republic. Let not tlie people be deceived.
If these Southerners arc as black as they are paint
ed, why are wc so desirous of a renewed association
with them? " Cau it be, that after all this damning
array of evidence they are good enough company
for us. This is strange inconsistency, indeed. But
this is not all. For, when we shall bring them
back, we shall not only be willing to associate with
them but most anxious and desirous to have them
as friends. Away, then, with these vilo deceptions
by which the Northern enemies of the Uuiou would
ctcate and foster an undying hatred between the
two sections ef the Republic. It is not by such a
system of warfare that the Union cau ever be es-
<hed ; and only those whose cowardice keeps
them out of the battle field will bave recourse to
such dishonorable shifts. If we must, for the pre-
rvation and integrity of the country, inflict upon
them physical ami mental sullering, let us, for the
sake of our nuiioual reputation, leave Iheir character unimpaired.—V. Y. Metropolitan Record.

arms] they left here are useless iu warfare, but in
