YOUNG NAPOLEON.

A letter from a person Of rank at
Vienna, gives the following particulars
relative to the Ex-King Of Rome, who
will be fourteen years Of age on the 10Th
Of next month. 1t is not true, as has
been said, that his educationis neglect
ed, or merely such as would fit him for
the ecclesiastical state. On the con
trary, it is on a much more liberal plan,
and more likely to render him militia
~ character. Besides reading books
of general instruction, great care is Ia
ken to perfect him in all manly and ro-
bust exercises. His countenance, tho
handsomer than that Of his father, has
still that character Of expression. His
constitution is strong, and his health
uninterrupted; he possesses, for his
age, a rare degree of sagacity-
The EMPEROR sees him frequently, and
seems to take much delight in him; he
INDUCES him in all his boyish fanta-
eies. He has already, though so young,
read the greater number OF the me
moirs relative to his father, but through
a finesse Of tact, extraordinary at his
age, he never mentions the name OF his
father. Lately the Emperor made him
present Of little horse, which hap
pened to resemble a favorite Arabian
horse Of NAPOLEON, called LIE Viser.-
The Emperor asked him what name
he should give to his horse; 81 wish to
call him." said the child, with great
animation, "Le User, because"-here
he hesitated for moment, and then
added; "because somebody that love
very much had a horse Of the same
name.

We are confident that no considera'
bic nor permanent rivalry is to be ap.
pretended by the American cotton
grower from the Egyptian crop AL.
though our cotton, purchased at the
present very high prices here, may not
yield a profit in the European market.
yet the rates are likely foreman such
in that market, that the United States
will gain considerably ON the whole, by
the recent advance.

LATEST OF GEN. LA FAYETTE.

For some days the good La Fayette,
being on his passage through the In
dian country, we have heard nothing OF
him At length we have the following
account of his first meeting with the
Indians, who are in that part of the
country in state Of comparative civil
ization, and Of his introduction to the
Alabamians:
Sort Mitchell, 3lst March, 1875.
owe arrived here to-day with Gen.
Lafayette about II O'Clock. We reach
ed the Agency the day we left Mil
ledgeville, about O'Clock, P. M. and
should have arrived here last evening,
had it not been for very heavy rain
that fell yesterday. This prevented
our getting further than Moss's, 40
miles from the agency, where we were
well entertained. The reception the
Indians gave the general was quite odd
and interesting. We found them in
waiting on the western bank of the
Chatahoochie, commanded by Chilly
Mcintosh. While we were crossing,
they gave several yells in concert
When we touched the bank they took
the horse from one ofthe sulkies, seat
cd the general in it, and pulled him up
the hill. We here found the Alabama
escort, under the command of Major
General Taylor, formed ready for his
reception. They saluted him as he
passed. He was then introduced to
MIR. Bibb, who made very feeling and
appropriate address-to which he re,
piled. The Indians then formed, and
after going through some ceremonies,
gave a BAD Play, which, to them who
never witnessed one before, was very
amusing. 1t lasted an hour, and the
general appeared to be well entertain
cd with it. He then dined, and set out
about 2 O'Clock for Montgomery"

THE PIRATES.


The following extract Of a letter from

capture of the Pirates, mentioned in

ceived yesterday from Matanzas:-

about ten minutes. The schooner was
discovered close on shore at anchor,

ned from both vessels. Upon nearing
the Pirates they were fired upon; the
crew Of the boats cheering, immedi-
ately returned the fire. The Pirates
then endeavored to make the shore in
their boats, and by swimming; but Sc
veral were shot in the water, and the
remainder pursued on shore; by which
means were killed and l9 made pri-
soners, and the schooner burnt, after
taking the wine out of her with which
she was loaded. The ea-Gull has Just
landed her prisoners, S ofthem dread

them is the captain, who fought reso-
lutely; he has wounds. On the 26th,
