's City of the Sun was looked upon, no doubt, as the distempered vision of a crazy state prisoner. Bacon's college, in his New Atlantis, moved the risibles of fat-witted Oxford. More's Utopia, as we know, gave to our language a new word, expressive of the vagaries and dreams of fanatics and lunatics. The merciless wits, clerical and profane, of the court of Charles II. regarded Harrington's romance as a perfect godsend to their vocation of ridicule. The gay dames and carpet knights of Versailles made themselves merry with the prose pastoral of St. Pierre; and the poor old enthusiast went down to his grave without finding an auditory for his lectures upon natural society. The world had its laugh over these romances. When unable to refute their theories, it could sneer at the authors, and answer them to the satisfaction of the generation in which they lived, at least by a general charge of lunacy. Some of their notions were no doubt as absurd as those of the astronomer in Rasse

Finally, on the 11th of March, Gordon Granger, ascending Rutherford Creek in search of a ford, succeeds in getting his cavalry across; the infantry and artillery cannot follow—a fortunate circumstance for Forrest, as the rising of the waters in Duck River has just cut off his retreat upon Columbia by carrying away the bridge in front of this village. While the Unionists are affecting the passage of Rutherford Creek he reaches Chapel Hill, where he finds a ford which ena

e Railway, which crosses, south of Fosterville, the insignificant neck of Guy's Gap; then, in the lowlands, two county roads which lead to the same town of Shelbyville, the one from Salem via Middleton, the other from Lizzard via Unionville and Versailles. If this left wing appeared to be more exposed, it was in reality perfectly posted for defence, because it could easily recross Duck River and fall back on Tullahoma while checking the advance of the assailants on the acclivities of Elk Ridge.emselves, contesting every foot of ground. The shades of night soon come to interrupt the fight, and leave each of the two contending parties in possession of one end of the defile. In the afternoon of the same day Mitchell, advancing from Versailles upon Middleton, has encountered the bulk of Wheeler's force and hotly pressed it, without being able to break its lines. Rosecrans, being informed of this resistance, has immediately sent Minty the order to quit the left and bring to Mitchell'

, 1774; Burke's Corr. i. 452. [Tuesday was Feb. 1.] Moving for the Boston Correspondence, he said, The question is no longer about the liberty of North America, but whether we are to be free or slaves to our Colonies. Franklin is here, not as the Agent of a Province, but as an Ambassador from the States of America. His embassy to us is like nothing but that sent by Louis XIV. to the Republic of Genoa, commanding the doge to come and appease the Grand Monarch, by prostrating himself at Versailles.—Such language is wild, replied the Earl of Stair. Humanity, commercial policy, and the public necessities dictate a very contrary one.—I would not throw cold water on the noble Lord's zeal, said the good Lord Dartmouth; as he made the request that further despatches might be waited for. Superior to injury, Franklin, or as Rockingham called him, the magnanimous old man, Albemarle, II. 302. still sought for conciliation, and seizing the moment when he was sure of all sympathies, he w

ee days chase of Morgan. Cincinnati, July 14, 1862. A dispatch, dated Lexington, says that General Ward assumed command last night. The city is under martial law. No man is to appear without a musket under penalty of being shot down. Gen. Ward's proclamation orders all the citizens of Fayette county to prepare forthwith for military duty. A dispatch, dated Frankfort, says that Morgan, with less than 10,000 men, crossed the Kentucky river this morning, and moved North to Versailles, where now is a force sufficient for the protection of Frankfort and Lexington. Since Saturday night the city has been greatly excited. A thousand rumors are afloat. Meetings have been held, and citizens in large numbers have volunteered special service at Lexington. Over one hundred of the city police went fully armed. Many citizens are yet anxious to go, but their services will not be accepted until further news from Morgan is had. Address of Gen. Pope to his troops, Was

e rebel guerilla, General Morgan, after capturing our pickets, dashed into Lexington on Saturday morning, at the head of fifteen hundred men. Our troops were compelled to surrender but they fought him gallantly, killing and wounding several. Our loss is six killed and one hundred and twenty-five prisoners, who were immediately paroled. Two hundred and fifty of our cavalry succeeded in escaping Morgan soon afterwards left Lexington, taking the Versailles turnpike.--Yesterday, when between Versailles and Frankfort, he was met by 2,500 of General Dumont's cavalry, who, after a short fight, routed him, scattering his forces. One report says he was driven across the Kentucky river in the direction of Lawrenceburg, and another, that he is endeavoring to unite with Humphrey Marshall, who is near burg. Marshall's forces are said to be completely demoralized. One of his regiments deserted the other day and came to Paris. It was principally composed of Tennessee men. Bragg's army is r

The Imperial Fates in France. The Paris correspondent of the London Times gives a description of the life at Versailles in honor of the King of Spain. He says: "The weather, which was threatening during the day, turned out more favorably than was expected. A shower fell in the evening, but did not much interfere with the proceedings. The Emperor, the Empress, the King of Spain, the Prince Imperial, and their respective suites, arrived from St. Cloud about 11 o'clock, in ten carriages and four, with postilions and outriders, and breakfasted at Trianon. After examining various parts of the park, the imperial party proceeded to the palace by the gate of the Grand Canal. In the carriage, the King was seated next the Empress, on the left, the Emperor and the Prince Imperial sitting opposite. The grounds were then full of spectators, and shouts of " Vive I' Emperaur" arose on every side. On arriving at the palace, the Emperor conducted his royal guest through the principal
