War Items. --The New York Day Book, of the 21st inst., furnishes the following summary: When Napoleon marched on Russia he led a field army of nearly 300,000 men; but he learned a lesson which caused him to say that "no people who are attached to their institutions and their homes can ever be conquered." The Ogdensburg Democrat says that "a valiant Republican of Pierpont cut off two toes to avoid being called out in the State militia." A Republican exchange says, "the action of the North is still onward. " It looks to us very much as though the action of the North was re-action.

E., James Madison, des Etats Unis " and "Lauvent a Paris, 1813." It was bequeathed by the ex-President to a nephew of his, and by him left to a gentleman, one of the commanding officers at this post, to whom it now belongs. I have heard the flute valued at $5,000, and is the only one of its kind known to be in the world.
