exploits of Caesar were so numerous, that it is impossible to dwell upon them all at large. They were always conducted upon the principle we have mentioned; to keep a strongly fortified position immediately in the rear for his magazines and hospitals, to have a month's provisions in his camp, to keep his army together, and to trust his communications to the good faith of his allies. Acting on this principle, he went anywhere. Distance was no obstacle. At one time, when his nearest depot was Toulouse, he pushed his army to Nantes and Vannes, thus placing four hundred miles, with large mountains and several rivers, between him and it. Sometimes, as at Alesia, his communications were entirely cut off; but it gave him no trouble, for he had enough in camp for present purposes, and he well knew that victory would open the way for him. In the five campaigns of the civil war, this daring character was still more strongly manifested. But his daring was always calculated, and never rash.

116. Provisional Congress, 1776) In every one of these Commissioners, I am happy to recognize the names of my country men, the French Huguenots, who originated from the provinces of France the most advanced in the salt manufacture; practical and enthusiastic people who, giving their arms and skill to the industrial emancipation of the New World, dedicated their hearts and hands to the conquest of religious and political freedom. Remember, also, that after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, they brought to England the French method of making salt from the sea brine by atmospheric evaporation. But under the sunless and damp skies of England, this method was, of course, unavailable, and was given up in the beginning of this century. In relation to the public spirit of these times, South Carolina evinced a standard of it in the matter of salt, acting with wisdom, foresight and energy, as the curies of that heroic age required. We should neither forget the warm appeal made

Singular accident in a French theatre. The Phare de la Loire of Nantes gives the following account of a singular accident and lucky escape: An accident of a singular nature, the consequence of which might have been deplorable, has sensibly affected the numerous spectators attracted to the Salle Graslin by the third performance of an unpublished play, entitled the "Chatean de Clisson." About the end of the second act, a youth of 17, dressed in a blouse and trousers, by trade a currier, Rene Tessier by name, living at Nantes, Place du Port Communeau, with his father, having gone out, returned, and wanted to resume his former seat in the front row of the fourth gallery on the right side and facing the stage. But instead of placing his leg cantionsly over the upper bench he lent abruptly forwards towards the ralling, which he thought he should lay hold of. This support he missed, his hands slipped along the velvet of the rim, and the poor fellow found himself pitched forward b

iscated at New Orleans by Picayune Butler, were sold at auction, on the 30th ult., at Boston. A Northern journal says: The sale was numerously attended. There were 418 bells in all. The greater part of them were cast at the Buckeye foundry, Cincinnati, though many were from foundries at New York, West Troy, Pittsburg, and Louisville. Among the number were several Catholic bells, cast in France--one with the inscription, "Fait par Jean Bagin, 1785," over a cross; another, cast at Nantes, France, 1786; others cast in 1775, 1776, and 1783. One, very elaborately ornamented, from the First Presbyterian Church, Shrevesport, La. Col. Thompson, before beginning the sale, read a note from a Mr. De Peyster, of Duchess county, N. Y., who desired the privilege of purchasing a bell which he gave several years ago to the Episcopal Church at Nacogdoches, Texas, founded by a friend of his, Rev. Thomas Bacon, who was driven from the place on account of his Union sentiments. The Colonel improv

Murder and Suicide. --The Phare de la Loire gives an account of a dreadful drama perpetrated at Nantes. A young man, of twenty-two, named Gumoust, who was shortly to be married to a girl, aged 25, named Salmon, was with the latter in her room when a quarrel arose between them. In a moment of violent passion he seized a piece of wood which lay on the hearth and struck her a terrific blow on the head, felling her to the ground, covered with blood. Being then seized with remorse, he threw himself out of the window, and was killed instantaneously. The woman is expected to recover.

The Russian war steamer Ryanda has arrived at San Francisco. Marshal Forey, the distinguished French officer, arrived in New York last week on board the French frigate Panama. Mr. Seward, upon his return to Washington, is said to have declared that the French Government, urged by the representations of Mr. Dayton, our Minister, has arrested the six rebel rams lying at Nantes and Bordeaux. Major Houstain and Lieut. Von Weilson, who made their escape from the Libby prison at Richmond, had arrived at Fortress Monroe safely. They tell a "thrilling" story of their adventures.

spectof their Seizure. The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writing on the 26th ult., thus speaks of some steam rems which he alleges are building in France for the Confederacy: Some weeks' ago it was announced in the journals of Nantes and Bordeaux that vessels-of-war were being built in those towns for an unknown destination, but which were suspected to be for the Confederates Since then investigations have taken place which appear to establish the following tacts: After the j to enter into a contract for the building of ships for the Confederate navy and privateer service, M. Arman, member of the Legislative Corps, and the largest shipbuilder in France, taking the contract for four vessels, and another large house at Nantes a contract for two. Four of the six vessels were contract for in April, and these four were to be finished in December; the other two were contracted for in July, and were to be delivered next spring. All of these vessels, it appears, are in a s

The Iron rams at Nantes. "Happy are they who expect little in this world, for most assuredly they shall not be disappointed." The six rams which were being built at Nantes for the use of the Confederate Government have been stopped by order of the Emperor. It was hoped that the French monarch would manifest some what more of an independent spirit than Russell has done; but hopes are, beyond everything else, deceitful, as to the objects of this life. Minister Dayton gave the order and theNantes for the use of the Confederate Government have been stopped by order of the Emperor. It was hoped that the French monarch would manifest some what more of an independent spirit than Russell has done; but hopes are, beyond everything else, deceitful, as to the objects of this life. Minister Dayton gave the order and the rams were suppressed. So, at least, says Seward, and we suppose it is true. We must hereafter look only to ourselves and our own interior resources for our protection. It is vain to tell us that the English people, or the French people, or any other people, are in our favor. If such be the fact, their love is of the coldest and most abstract description which it is possible to conceive. It consists not in outward symptoms, but is confined to their own bosoms.

ry off, collected all the plows, hoes, axes, and agricultural implements of every kind into piles and set fire to them, and went off, carrying with them all the negroes that could be induced to follow them. The object, boldly avowed by Lincoln himself, was to starve the population into submission.--Modern history presents but one parallel to the cold-blooded atrocity of this proceeding. The monster Carrier, during the Reign of Terror in France, undertook in this way to starve the people of Nantes and the surrounding district. His orders to that effect — exactly parallel to the orders under which the Yankee Generals acted last spring — were read before the Convention when he was tried for his life, after the fall of Robespierre, and they elicited a cry of horror even from that assembly, hardened as it was in crime by long habit. The consequence of these atrocities was a difficulty of procuring food for both army and population. Both of these suffered, and, to some extent, are suffe
