mpply al! the world with fresh recollections of the
late Napoleon. I say late Napoleon, my boy, because our Napoleon is apt to be behind time.
As far back as I can remember, I have been fully aware tbat this movement was about to lake
place, but would uot, like too many other correspondents, betray tho confidence reposed in me.—
This bosom, my boy, Ibis manly and truthful bosom, is about tbe right shop for confidence. Nor is
it like the bosoms of those who canj.ruthfully say
that they never give important information lo the
enemy, though everybody knows that they sell it.
On arriving in Paris, I saw at once that preparations lor outgeneraling lhe deceived Confederacy
had already commenced ; ior the dowu-troddeu
General of the Mackerel Brigade had assembled
the reliable contrabands whom he had used for
inme weeks past, aud was taking leave of them in
a heartful manner.
Mounted on a small keg, Irom the bung-hole of
jich came the aroma of pleaaant rye   fields,   the
General softly wiped his lips, and says he :
Being members of a race which we regard as
a speshees of monkeys, my black children, tho fact
that this is a white man's war prevents your taking
part in the entirely dilferent race about to come
off. Alter the manner of Andrew Jackson at New
Orleans, I have called on you to do something for
your adopted country ; but as my friend Andrew
was particular to make his proclamation read
negroes," there can be no parallel between lhe
cases further. Therefore, return to your'mastcrs,
my children, and tell them that the United States
of America war not against them rights ol whicb
you are a par.t. Go ! Aud remember, lhat as Gradual Emancipation is about to come ofl, you will
soon know the juicy ricbuess of being free'to visit
all parts of the world except those not included in
the pleasing map of Nova Zerabla."
The contrabands departed, my boy, in "blissful
procession, and mauy of tbem are undoubtedly
happy enough now. Happier, my boy, than they
could hope to be, if suffered to remain in this con"

effect upon the backward march. :
On Monday morn, my boy, while! I was pulling
ua a pair of new boots tbat have some music in
their soles, ihere arose near my room door a sound
as Of one in d're agony, closely followed by a variously modulated moan, as of some deserted woman
in distress. Ui.stily discontinuing my toilet, and
darting to the threshold, I beheld one of thoso
scenes of civil war which impress the sensitive soul
wilh horror and meet the just reprobalion of feeling Albion.
Kampant between two marrow-bones, my boy,
was my frescoed dog, Bologna, eyeing with horrid
fury, Sergeant O'Puke's canine friend, known af
Jacob Barker, and ever and anon uttering sentences of supernatural wrath. To these the excited
Barker responded in a deep bass of great compass
his nose curling in uudisguised disdain, and bin
oyes assimilating to Lhat insiduous and lieiy i*c[uiiit
which betokens inexpressible malignity. * There

While the Mackerels were coming out of their
holes, and polishing their shovels lor the march,
I observed that ihe General walked thoughtfully
to his tent, in deep silence. I fouud Captain Villiam Brown expelling two reporters from the lines,
lest they should prematurely divulge the movements then going ou to the Confederacy, seated on
.n adjacent fence, and says I to him ;

We went softly to the tent together, my boy,
and there beheld the loved General of the Mackerel
Brigade, wilh lm face devoutly upturned. II

As I gazed upon these two infuriated wonders
of natural history, my boy, and recognized the
: fact that the existence of two bones of contention
prevented an actual battle, because neither combatant was willing to lose sight of either o( them;
whilst the presence of but one bone would have
simplified the matter, and precipitated a decisive
conflict, I could not but think that I saw symbolized before mc the situation of our distracted
country.
The United States of America, my boy, and the
well-known Southern Confederacy, are like two
irascible terriers practising defiant strategy between twoJjones, the one being the festive negro
question, and the other tbe Union. Now it seemB
to mc, my boy—it seems to me, tbat if the gay au-
inial with U. S. on his collar would only dispose
of tho bone nearest him without further vocalism,
there would be a better chance for him to secure
the other bone in the combat sure to come.

just exactly which is truly their magnum bonum
Ascending to the rooi of my architectural steed,
Pegasus, on Tuesday, I induced the gothlc anima
to adopt £. pace sometimes affected by lbe fleet
tortoise, and went dowu to Accomac iu pursuit of
knowledge respecting recruiting. Just belore
reaching that Arcadian locality, my boy, I met
Colonel Wobert Wobinson, ofthe Western Cavalry,
who had been down there to induce volunteering
and infuse fresh confidence into tho masses. He
oflered a bounty of two band red dollars; three
dollars to be paid immediately, and lhe rest as
soon as the war commences in earnest; and prom
ised to each man a horse physically incapacitated
Irom running away from anything.
■ We!!, my bold drflgocn," saya I, cordially,
uoticing thut Pegaatlfl had already fallen iuto a
peaceful doze, " bow gu enlistments?"
The Colonel waved away an abstracted crow
that was* hovering in deep reverie over my charg
er's blow, and said he: "I have enlisted all the
people of Accomac.,:
'iI want to know," says I, Bostouiauly.
" Ye*-," said he, " I called a  meeting  and  succeeded in enlisting all—their sympathies."
As I ga/,ed upon tha equestrian warrior, tny boy,
inelhought I saw Hie youngest offspring ofa wink
trembling io a corner of hia right cyo, and I felt
that ihe world-renowned Snyder was at that me-
nearer by looking towards it through a glass ?
Here is food for thought, my boy—here is food for
thought.
And now, Commodore Head having fished his
iron-clad fleet from the tempestuous bosom of Duck
Lake, and every thing being in readiness, the
march of the Mackerel Brigade commenced, with a
silence so intense that we could distinctly hear all
that anybody said.
First came a delegation of political chaps from
the Sixth Ward, conversing with each othe:
the state of the country, and considering eight
hundred and forty excellent plans for saving the
Union aud getting up a straight-out ticket.
Thou Appeared the well-known promenade band
of the Mnckerel Brigade, executiug divers pleasant
norceax on his night key bugle, an occasional
iturable over a stoue giving tho airs a happy vari
ety'of sudden obligati improvements.
Noxt appeared the idolized General ofthe Mack,
erel Brigade, modestly uprising to receive all the
credit of this skillful movement, aud assuring his
staffthat he really would not prefer to be President ofthe United States in 1865.
Followed by Commodore Head with bis squadron on his shoulders, swearing as usual in his iron
plated manner, and vowing to capture Vicksbfrg
before he was twenty years older.
Then advanced Captain Villiam Brown, Eske-
vire, Captain Bob Shorty, and Captain Samyule
Sa mith, each iudignautly rejecting the idea that
movement was a retreat, and expressing the
hope that Wendell Phillips would be immediately
hung for it.
Then came a train of wagons containing all the
provisions that could not be thrown away.
Succeeded by the Mackerel Brigade with shovels at a hhouider-arms, and noses suggestive of
strawberry patches in the balmy month of June.
And was this all the procession? you will ask ■
did nothing come after the Brigade itself?
I am not a positive mau, my boy, and care not
to assert a thiug unlesg I posisively know it to be
truo. It was growing dark when we reached our
destination, and I could not seo distinctly toward
the rear ; yet I think I did see something coining
after the Mackerel Brigade.
What was it?
It was the Southern Confederacy, my boy—the
Soulhern Confederacy.

THE REFORMED   TIPPLER.
(TIII'IME, TREATED BY REqtJEST, A LA SAXIS.)
Dedicated to of Los  Angeles.
Come, listen, my neighbor, to me awhile ;
l'lease hearken to what I may Bay;
Let your sports and your zest
Share a moment of rest,
As I troll you a Bacchanal lay,
And portray
How & tippler robbed death of liis prey,
Fairly robbed death ot his prey.
An honest good fellow was he, be sure,
And witb beauty uncommonly blest,
Ere, From brandy and gin,
He began to wax thin,
Aud.deeliued like a victim oppressed ;
He transgressed
Rules of living considered the best,
Truly considered the best,
Oue morning he wended his wrv to the Inn,
To the iHvern went early ono moili,
And ihere without blinkiug,
Continued hard drinking,
The extract of bailey and corn ;
" Horn" after " horn ;"
'Till lie looked a poor object forlorn,
A poor object forlorn.
At length ho fell into a snooze, and slept
Far into tiie watches of night,
And the reason is plain,
Too much juice of the grain
Had made him exceedingly '■ tight.'"
In ihis plight,
lie was sure a deplorable sight,
A deplorable sight.
He continued his horrible sleep till morn,
?Twaa a, terrible slumber he took,
For when he awakes,
Ho raves about snakes,
And wears a most horrible look,
And he shook,
As if pierced by the point of a hook,
By the point of a hook.
The doctor was called to offer relief,
To offer relief to the sot;
Though apparently dead,
He was physicked aod hied,
And bolstered np in his cot,
Why noi?
Though his life wes worth scarce a groat,
Was worth scarce a groat.
In spite of the doctor—his physic and skill,
Thu tippler grew worse—day aud night,
Alllieted by tremens,
And haunted by demons,
The victim of horrible fright ;
'Twas right,
A judgment for getting so " tight,"
For getting so '' tight."
He rupidly sunk—he seemingly died,
Neither pulse nor breathing in sight ;
ln the papers we read,
That tlie tippler was dead,
That his soul had taken its flight
Last night,
He sank from effects of his fright,
From effects of bis fright.
Bnt mercy or physic at length interposed,
Tlie tippler awoke from hisyia;,
ln spite of the witches,
Old Charon and wretches
That had ferried him over the "Styx ;"
Oh I the tricks
That come, of bolting down flips,
Of bolting down flips.
The tippler now swore he'd never again
His silver iu ■' cocktails*1 invest,
And lor seven full years,
(So the record appear*,)
He's been a good temperance guest ;
Thus blest,
Ho pronounces this practice the best,
This practice the best.
You've heard of the pnake the travoler found,
And warmed into life on his breast,
How he stung, in the end,
His benevolent friend,
And proved an ungenerous guest ;
Ab 1 the post
Left his friend severely distressed,
Severely distressed.
Tho tippler, alas! puts the viper inside.'
And teeds and nurses him there,
Till his snakesbip at length,
From his increasing strength,
Claims more than & murderer's share.*
I declare,
Of his snnkeship 'tis well to beware,
'Tis-well to beware.
There's several species of vipera, you know,
Very few ofa harmless class ;
This maxim is clear.
The snake most to fear
Is the one that lurks in the glass.
Alas!
'Tis the snake that coils in the glass.
That coils in the glass.
And if you are partial to snakes, myfrlend,
Thia counsel you'd better abide—
Don't put tbem within.
And nurse them on gin,
But rather locate them outside;
Better decide,
That communion with snakes be denied,
All communion with snakes be denied.
•Claims both body and soul.

The Old Guard nt Wnli-rlwi.
M. Charles Deulin, in the Sprit  Public of Pari-,
publishes the following intercsiing story concern
iug tho Old Guard at Waterloo, drawn out by Vic
tor Hugo's account of Cambronne, In lhe teconi
part of Les Miserables :
Few men had the good fortune of being survivors
of the last square of Waterloo, and it has boon
doubted whether one remains. I know ono ; his
name is An tone Doloan, and he inhabits the village
of Vieq. in tho Canton of Comic, in the atron-
dissenntnt of Valcncicnnos (Nor), lie is an intolti
gent and industrious farmer, who lms been ma-ire
of his commune,  and is without decoration.
Atthe epoch ofthe battlo of Waterloo he was
aged from 23 to 24 years, for it must bo remembered that tho Emperor, after his return from the Isle
of Elba, had filled up the ranks of lho Old Guard
with the soldiers c f .tho Young, so that the grog-
nards of 24 years wero to be found turning the bravo
men who refused to  survive tho last defeat.
Antoine Delean counts but few years of service
but they have been well failed, and there are few
soldiers whoso lot it was to seo so nearly and iu so
little time such great things. Ho waa at thirty
paces from Poniatowski when that unfortunate
Prince disappeared in the Sister, exclaiming, "(JoU
confided to mo tho honor ofthe Poles—I will only
cive it up to God." Ho was at five paces from Gea,
Petit, when Napoleon, on leaving for the Isle ol
Elba, made his ailieux to his Guards; finally, he
was at ten paces from Cambronne, when he pro
r.ounced tho sublime phrase which it is pretended
he did not pronounce.
Now this is what Antoine Delean has related to
mo many limes : "I was in the first rank—an advantage which I owed to my being tall. The Eng
lish artillery was thundering upon us, and we replied to each discbarge by a fusillade which was
kept up with   diminishing volleys.
" Betwoen two discharges the English general
cried out to us, 'Grenadiers, surrender!" Then
Gen. Cambronne replied, and I heard hm_ peifectly
well, 'La garde muert et se tend pas? 'Fire,'cried
the English geueral.
"Wo repaired the square, and we replied with
our muskets. 'Grenadiers, surrender ? you shall
be treated liko the first soldiers of the world !' the
English general began again with a sorrowful voice-
'La garde muert et se rend pas: replied Cambronne; and along tho whole liue tho officers and soldiers
repeated, lLa garde muert et se rend pas? I did
liko tho rest.
" A fresh volley then was poured upon us ; and
wo replied as well as we could. 'Surrender, Grenadiers, surrender !' cried tlie mass of English who
surrounded us on all sides- Then it was that Cambronne, mad with impatience and anger, let fly the
oath you havo heard of. It was the last word that
I heard, for I received a shot in my eotback which
Stretched me sensoless on a heap of dead bodies."
I regret; adds M. Deulin, -'that this recital spoils
somewhat the Buperb description ot Victor Hugo;
but I have no reason to suspect the good faith of my
old friend. He is a brave fellow, who never speaks
of hi,s campaigns except when ho is much besought
for them, and who puts
possible.     _________
mself  forward as little as
tie looked like one forsaken hy God and man. Ho
could never forgive himself, for his horrid crime.
The visnge of his murdered little John always
luuinted bim.
It in difficult to determine which was the greater
criminal, thepoorpot who bought the rum and made
himself drunk with it, nnd while drunk, committed
the murder; or the man who found him the rum,
with which lo commit the ..ui.dor. They were both
responsible for the crime no doubt, bnt which will
Inive to bear the greatest share of lho guilt in tho
eight of God we canuot say. Tho fqaaeller la certainly highly oensarabje for his conduct, llo is far
more dangerous to the community, for while tho
drunkard destroys himself and family, lho rumsell
l«r destroys man by the wholesale, and yet thero arO
those who curse us for our efforts to spupress tho
Unlawful traffic. Yea, there aro men in high re-
epoubibiiiiy who advise us to let the poor i-umselling
outlaw go unrebuked. Wc appeal to the law loving and temperance public, to know whether wo
shall bo sustained in lho stand we havai taken
against rum and tho violation of tho temperance law.
Sutter Ptoaeer testimonial Fund.
At a meeting of the Society of California Pioneers, held to celebrate the Twelfth Anniversary
of the admission of California into tbe Union—
At the conclusion of the address of E. II. Washburn, Esq., Dr. Henry M. Gray remarked that as
there was an unusually large number of tho society present, it was a fitting time to consider informally some important suggestions embodiod In
the remarks of tho orator of the evening.
That portion of ihe address having direct reference to General John A. Sutter, then elicited an
interesting discussion.. Mr. Sam, Brannun then
gave an account of a recent visit to tha old Pioneer, and others warmly advocated the adoption of
immediate measures tor his relief. H. F. Williams
offered a series of resolutions to this effect, to
which some amendments were proposed. Subsequently the Society appointed Mr. Williams, Dr.
Gray, W. B. Farwell aud Rev. Albert Williams, a
committee to revise tho same, who reported tho
following, which were unanimously adopted :
Whbrbas, the Society OfCalifornia Pioneors are
desirous of presenting to General John A. Sutter a
betantial mark of their gratitude to him for his
mauy good aud charitable deeds towards the early
settlers of the State, and of the esteem in which ho
is held by his fellow citizens at large ; therefore.
Resolved, That a committee, consisting of all
the Ex-Presidents of our Society, be, and the samo
are hereby constituted a committee to take the
matter in charge, to appoint sub-committees, and
prepare subscription papers, to bo circulated for
contributions to a fund to be judiciously invested
for the benefit of Gen. John A. Suiter.
Resolved, That the President, Secretary, and
Treasurer of this Society, aad their successors ia
office, be, and the same are hereby, constituted a
Board of Trustees, to receive and invest all funds
which maybe received iu furtherance of this object.
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions bo
forwarded to all the newspaper Editors in tha
State, with the request that they will publish tho
same, and urge upon their readers tho propriety
of contributing iu aid of this fund.
It is said that printed declarations, with blank
forms, are to be used by young ladies "who havo
lovers too modest to propose. The ladies themselves fill out the blanks, and, of course, uo sensible man oan refuse signing them.
The Arrest of Train,—I underetaod that
George Francis Train was rather uncereuouiously
prevented from sailing in a late steamer for the
United States, and also that he caused a telegram
tobe forwarded to the agent of tho associated
Press at Liverpool, to the effect that he bad been
arrested on the eve of his departure, by order of
the British Governmeut, There if, I believe, no
doubt that he was thus summarily arrested ; but It
is due to the British Government to say it was for
oo political offence, and that the place of his present confinement is not one of the State prisons, but
oue of those peculiar lodging house in the vicinity
of Chancery Lane, made familiar to us by the wri t-
iugs of Dickens and similar authors.—Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer. ______
Marriage op Redel Fair Ones.—Miss Margaret Howell, the sistor of Mrs. Jeff. Davis, was married recently to George W. Custis Lee, eldest son
of Gen. Leo, and heir to Arlington by the will of
his gpaodfalher, Mr. Custis. The marriages of three
ladies who were imprisoned in the house of Mrs.
Greenhow in Washington last Bummer, are also ro_
ported.

Who can behold the drunkard's home without
sadness. It is a cheerless and comfortless abode ;
a wretched hut or miserable hovel.
Its very appearance, creates sensations of peculiar sadness in the human heart. That miserable
hut is the abode of human beings. Their only
home.
AU the sweet and endearing associations of th
family circle are blighted, by that drunkard husband and father. There is something so appalling
>n the thought, that tbis is the home of a man who
has plighted his whole vows, to comfort, protect
and support the broken hearted wife who here resides. She shares no protection, receives no support, and enjoys no earthly comfort from him now.
Her poor starving babes crowd over a few decay-
in"-embers, shivering with tbe cold, aud crying
fo?the bread, or perhaps are sleeping in their
couch ofetraw and rags while the fond mother is
toiling hard to Becure the necessaries of life, and
keep themselves from nakedness and starvation,
dreading the return ofthe husband from his midnight revelry.
At length heslaggera home. He raves In mad-
:ds,—beats, aud otherwise abuses his wife and
babies, and tuniB them out or doors to perish in
tbe cold. This is not a vision of romantic fancy,
butBober reality, occurring almost every day.
nstanoe we are inclined to relate, we have
rood authority.
There lived in a certain town in New Hampshire,
a most abandoned drunkard but   his   family  were
oral and worthy of respect.
He had a lovely little boy, five years old, whom
he loved when sober, as he did his owfl life, aod
often boasted of his sprighiliisess aod his manly
traits of character.
One stormy winter night, this drunkard returned
home with a gallon of rum and much intoxicated.
Yet his heart was upon his dear little boy. He
boasted of his own greatness as drunkards do. and
gloried that he had a son juat like himself. To
prove it he poured out a tumbler full of rum and
commanded his litlle son John to drink it. John
refused; his father Bought to compel htm ; the moth-
er remonstrated. Enraged at this he dragged her
to the door and threw her out into the atorm, and
also his infant babe, and fastened the door,
were far from neighbours, and did not d
tempt to reach them. A
cr part of the house, came
interfere, saw the inhuman monster pour four tumblers of rum down the throat ol litlle Johu, to pay
him for refusing to take the one.—Immediately after this tbe man threw himself down upon his bed
and went to sleep. The freezing mother was then
let into the house, who made every possible effort
to raise the dying lad. but all in vain.

ROMANTIC Story— A very romantic story fa
told of a young lad named Edward Forester, horn
in JoiTerson county, in this state, who, some twetvo
years ago. went to sea in a whaling ship. He waa
very successful, and, when scarcely beyond hia
majority, became mate ofthe vessel. At Honolulu
Forester made the acquaintance of a merchant of
Hakoda-ai, and went with him to Japan. Here ho
remained two or three years engaged in commercial
pursuits. Thence he went to China, where ho
was taken into the imperial service, and was finally
made second in command to General Ward, in
plnoe of Colonel Murgiven, who waa oeverely
wounded in some recent engagement.
-U one time Forester led a band of two hundred
men against the rebels, only nine of them returning, the rest having been all killed. He has now
twenty thousand troops under his command.
For his services he lias been made a Mandarin
of the Blue Bullon. and his name stands high in
Pekin His rank obliges him to keep at least
twelve servants. The lule«t letters received from
him (to May l) state that he is fn command ot tho
city of Sonngkaing ; Bleeps with the city keys under his pillow ,-while not one of the two hundred
foOOBtndlDhabitantsol tiie ii!.,ee-not even the
highest mandario-caD enter or leave without hia
permission, and at a word from him any individual
out ol that two hundred thousand may lose his head.
