ruce, for the night cloud had lowered; The dew is on the blossom; Sweet Evelina, and Evelyn, among pathetic songs; but comic ones were equal or greater favourites with him: If you get there before I do; The old gray horse; Come out of the wilderness, and If you want to have a good time, join the cavalry, came from his lips in grand uproarious merriment, the very woods ringing with the strains. This habit of singing had always characterized him. From the days in the valley when he harassed Paterson so, with his omnipresent cavalry, he had fought and sung alternately. Riding at the head of his long column, bent upon some raid, or advancing to attack the enemy, he would make the forest resound with his sonorous songs; and a gentleman who met him one day, thus singing in front of his men, said that the young cavalier was his perfect ideal of a knight of romance. It might almost, indeed, be said that music was his passion, as Vive la joie! might have been regarded as his motto. His ban

onfederation. Much has been said against coercion, that is, the employment of force to compel obedience to the laws of the United States, when they are resisted under the assumed authority of a State; but even the old Confederation, with all its weakness, in the opinion of the most eminent contemporary statesmen possessed this power. Great stress is laid by politicians of the Secession School on the fact, that in a project for amending the articles of Confederation brought forward by Judge Paterson in the Federal Convention, it was proposed to clothe the Government with this power and the proposal was not adopted. This is a very inaccurate statement of the facts of the case. The proposal formed part of a project which was rejected in toto. The reason why this power of State coercion was not granted eo nomine, in the new Constitution, is that it was wholly superfluous and inconsistent with the fundamental principle of the Government. Within the sphere of its delegated powers, the

ize of the wheels. Bringing the floor of the vehicle nearer to the ground obviates lifting the load to any great extent. The bent axle, to enable the bed of the cart or wagon to come near to the ground, while retaining a large wheel, is a common device in England in city and rural vehicles. One form of driving wheel-axles for locomotives is also bent. Baddeley, a contributor to the early volumes of the Mechanic's Magazine, London, advocated their use, and may have been the inventor. Paterson (England) proposed that carriages should have axles of unequal length, so as to avoid tracking, and thus prevent the formation of ruts. A turning-axle is the fore-axle of a carriage, which turns on the fifth wheel. A leading-axle is an axle of a locomotive, in front of the driving axle or axles. The term is applied especially to the English engines, which are not supported in front by a four-wheeled truck, as with us. A trailing-axle is the last axle of the locomotive. In English
by French law to validate a marriage. The opinion of my father and that of several other Americans was, that if the marriage was not legal in France, neither Miss Paterson nor her children would have any legitimate rights. Moreover, it was notorious in the United States that Miss Paterson had knowingly run the risk of being onlyMiss Paterson had knowingly run the risk of being only a morganatic wife, in the hope of sharing the high position to which she might aspire as the legitimate spouse of a Bonaparte.--This statement is so notorious in America that Miss Paterson has no sympathy as a young girl deceived and a legitimate wife repudiated. They say in America that she played a desperate game and lost it. IMiss Paterson has no sympathy as a young girl deceived and a legitimate wife repudiated.

journals state that, by order of the Emperor, the Chinese curiosities sent by the army in China to his Majesty, are to be exhibited during ten days in the Pavillion Marsan, of the palace of the Tuilleries, and the public are to be admitted without cards. His Majesty has, besides, directed that a catalogue of the articles shall be drawn up. Among the articles sent are said to be seventy-five splendid pieces of fur for the Empress; also, some beautiful corals and a pearl necklace of unparalleled beauty. Finally, the Paris correspondent of the Independence states that an interview had taken place within the last few days between the Emperor and the young Bonaparte, grandson of Prince Jerome by his first wife, Miss Paterson, and whose father is the plaintiff in the action which has occupied so much public attention. This interview has led to the supposition that before the decision of the court is pronounced some friendly arrangement will be effected. Vive Napoleon!--New York World.
M'Me Paterson's Caution. --An incident in connection with the Bonaparte-Paterson trial has excited some remark in Paris. Mme. Paterson, coming to France, did not bring with her all the papers which sustained her case, for fear they might be stolen. Some she left behind; while those she brought she had sewed into garments which never quitted her person. This indirect imputation upon the honor of her opponents and the French police, excited a sentiment of indignation which has found expreMme. Paterson, coming to France, did not bring with her all the papers which sustained her case, for fear they might be stolen. Some she left behind; while those she brought she had sewed into garments which never quitted her person. This indirect imputation upon the honor of her opponents and the French police, excited a sentiment of indignation which has found expression in various ways. Even her lawyer, M. Berryer, spoke of the apprehensions of his clients as illusory and ill-founded, while the defence made use of the fact to throw doubt upon the authenticity of the certified duplicates presented to the Court.
or 10,000 Southern troops. From the Washington Star of last evening we copy the following: Gen. M'Clelland's command at Harper's Ferry. Gen. Clelland's available command — the portion of it so far mobilized -- is at least 15,000 strong, and in a week 5,000 more troops, being prepared for service in Ohio and Western Virginia and Pennsylvania, will be ready to join him. Our impression is that his destination is Harper's Ferry, and that he will arrive before that point just when Gen. Paterson's command arrives before it on the Maryland side, and Gen. McDowell's command has closed down and cut off the retreat of the Confederate troops at Harper's Ferry to Richmond by rail. Manassas Junction--Gen. Lee. We have reliable information that for the last two days no work has been done on the entrenchments that had been commenced by the Confederates at Manassas Junction. They were hardly more than half finished when the work upon them was thus stopped. The only solution of t
speaks of assuming the offensive at once. He is anxious to revisit Romney. General McClellan is hourly expected at Cumberland. A vast force is following him from the Wet. The messenger says that Col. Wallacestimates it at 20,000, but it probably does no exceed 15,000. This, it is expected will drive the whole Confederate force from the Potomac, if vigorously seconded by Patterson's column, and the 14,000 now lying about here. It is evident that Gen. Johnston designed to draw Gen. Paterson into the neck, but he has failed thus are to accomplish it. Should General Patteron cross at all it will be lower down. His movement southward is to draw Johnston away from Gen. McClellan's advancing column until the forces of the latter shall have arrived in such numbers as to enable him to assume the offensive effectively. Washington Intelligence.
