Indeed, I am afraid it is too true that there were comparatively but few Romans among them. This young lady passed several nights there.

omes and hearts, and that in its discussion I can dispense with the borrowed charms of rhetoric, and that the theme itself will bring before us the angelic forms and faces of mother, sister, daughter, wife, sweetheart, and will thus possess a mute eloquence of its own, which in your willing ears, at least, will fill out the faltering accents of the speaker. Given to us by God as a help-mate, the handmaiden of Christian civilization, have we honored or exalted our women, even as the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians did? In their pagan mythology and religion they worshipped their women, in their goddesses, as much as their men, in their gods; and temples and statues filled their cities to Juno, Minerva, Diana, Vesta and Ceres, as much as to Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, Mercury, Vulcan and Apollo. There was not a wood or murmuring stream that was not presided over by some beauteous nymph as its tutelary divinity, assigned by Jove. All this has passed away with the peoples and empires of the

ef resort of the Huguenots. What though the attempt to emigrate was by the law of France a felony? In spite of every precaution of the police, five hundred thousand souls escaped from their country. The unfortunate were more wakeful to fly than the ministers of tyranny to restrain. We quitted home by night, leaving the soldiers in 1685 their beds, and abandoning the house with its furniture, said Judith, the young wife of Pierre Manigault We contrived to hide ourselves for ten days at Romans, in Dauphiny, while a search was made for us; but our faithful hostess would not betray us.—Nor could they escape to the seaboard, except by a circuitous journey through Germany and Holland, and thence to England, in the depths of winter. Having embarked at London, we were sadly off. The spotted fever appeared on board the vessel, and many died of the disease; among these, our aged mother. We touched at Bermuda, where the vessel was seized. Our money was all spent; with great difficulty w

A Nice widow. --The following is from Dr. Holmes' new novel: The widow Romans was now in the full bloom of ornamental sorrow. A very shallow crape bonnet, frilled and froth like, allowed the parted raven hair to show its glossy smoothness. A jet pin heaved upon her bosom with every sigh of memory, or emotion of unknown origin. Jet bracelets shone with every movement of her slender hands, cased in cross-fitting black gloves. Her sable dress was ridged with manifold flounces, from beneath which a small foot showed itself from time to time, clad in the same hue of mourning. Everything about her was dark, except the whites of her eyes and the enamel of her teeth. The effect as complete. Gray's Elegy was not a more perfect composition.

t, on the other hand, are easily subdued." All the young Wide-Awakes are said to be repeating this stupendous historical discovery at the various bar-rooms, and to imagine themselves for the time Alexanders, CÆsars, and Napoleons, gloriously oblivious of the fact that each of those conquerors of the world was of a Southern clime. The Day Book reminds the valiant ignoramuses that Southern nations have done far more than their share of the conquering business since history begun. The Greeks, Romans, the Arabs under Mahomet, and the Spaniards under Philip, were Southern slaveholders. The Southern Moors penetrated the North to Vienna, and but for the valor of Sobieski, would have mastered all Europe. If Rome fell before Alaric, it was because its own legions sided with the invader. In reply to the foolish boast that the South can be subjugated in six months, the Day Book says: Twenty times six months will hardly witness the beginning of it. Mr. Lincoln's term of office will only

mber of Deputies the opposition propose a material reduction in the budget. The Council of State refuse to make any modification, and a warm discussion was expected. Advices from Italy say that Gen. Carvignan had reached Turin. Martino, the new Governor of Naples, has issued a proclamation expressing his intention to govern with energy, promising immense improvements in the service of the country. and calling on the people for their support. A petition signed by ten thousand Romans has been addressed to the Emperor Napoleon, praying the withdrawal of the French troops. The petition has been sent to Paris. Accounts from Spain say that Santana continues in command of the military in San Domingo. In Hungary the collection of taxes by military execution has been suspended, the Diet guaranteeing the amount due till the question of taxes shall be settled.

nning us and reducing us to absolute slavery, but never of their holding us as a dependent republic. The people of the South are resolved upon one of two things. They will either be entirely independent of the Yankees, or they will be extirminated or reduced to slavery by them. To no middle course will they submit. It is out of all question to suppose that they will ever maintain any sort of political alliance with them, in any form dependent upon their own will. But the Yankees are not Romans, and they are not English. Descended of a race originally brave, they have degenerated into a nation of hucksters, pedlars, and traffickers in small wares, with no idea above the almighty dollar. These are not the people to make conquerors out of. To think of the Bull Runners conquering us! To think of the Northern Trotters lording it over the gentlemen of the South! Really, Mr. Bull Run Russell ought to have shown how it is to be done. The reverse catastrophe we hold to be much mor

ns, and prescribe all the operations of the campaign. They know better than we where we should encamp, and what posts it is necessary for us to what time, and by what , we ought enter where it is proper to have magazines; from whence, either by sea or land, we are to bring provisions; when we are to fight the enemy, and when lie, . They not only prescribe what is best to do, but for little from their plans, they make it a crime in their counsel, and him before their tribunal. But know, Romans, the effect of this is very prejudicial to your Generals. All have not the resolution and constancy of Fabius, to despise impertinent reports. He could choose rather to suffer the people, upon such unhappy rumor, to invade his authority, than to ruin affairs, in order to preserve their opinion, and an empty same. I am far from believing that Generals stand in no need of advice; I think, on the contrary, that whoever would conduct everything alone, upon his own opinion, and without counsel

go animated the Northern masses, there has risen that vile spirit of section which, in the choice of Abraham Lincoln, declared that the North should be master of the South; an infamous declaration, which the South, with her drawn sword and her stout right arm, has made null and void. Even those men of the North who once claimed to be Americans and conservatives — the Events of the Whig and the Dickinson of the Democratic party--have thrown themselves into the very front of the sectional crusade, and stripped themselves of every attribute of the American, as well as every quality of the gentleman. What magnificent assurance, then, in the Yankee nation to monopolize the once proud name of American! As well might the brigands who infest the mountains and plunder the villages of modern Greece kindred with the demigods who have made the name of Greece immortal, or the tteroni who beg and steal under the shades of the eternal city, claim to be Romans, and the noblest Romans of them all.

ing music, which though commanding more silence and vigilance was not as pleasant as the music of an Acollan harp. Again on Thursday night and Friday, all day and all night, we were up without sleep or rest, amid cold and snow, receiving and returning the fires of the advancing foe. Saturday at light our forces surprised the enemy by an early attack and repulsed them with great slaughter at almost every point, contesting every inch of ground with an undaunted valor and courage which ancient Romans, in their victorious days, might have envied. Towards night we returned to our breastworks undispated victors of the field — nearly every man bringing with him some trophy from the Federal camps. That night the General hearing of the large reinforcements of the enemy, and our troops being almost exhausted from cold, exposure, and need of rest, decided to retreat, and the remnant of the "56th" came up on a steamboat to Nashville. The loss of the Fifty-sixth in killed and wounded was 47
