And there it lies darkling
Here smoking and frothing

Eddying and whlsking,
Scouting and tIisking,
Turning and twisting,

With endless rebound.
Smiling and fighting
In turmoil deghting
Confounding, astounding,
Drilling and deaening the air with its sound
Recedng and speeding
And shocking and rocking
And darting and parting,
And threading and spreading,
And whlzzing and hiring,
And dripping and skipping
And hitting and spttng,
And shining and twining,
And rafting and battling,
And shaking and quaking,
And pouring and roaring

To-day visited truly royal domain and walked
amidst the dust of kings. Beneath the old gothic
church at 81 Denie repose The remains Of more than
SIXTY kings and queens and suppose more than forty
generations Of the blood royal of France. From the
dea'h oil the son of Chderc In $50 to that Of Louis
io'h IN 1853, ST. Dene has been the chosen and pc
culiar sepulture Of royalty. The great number and
variety OF costly monuments presents most imposing
scene The kings and queens generally represent
ed by marble statues reclining in their marble tombs.
Many of these must have been wrought a. enormous
expense. Nothing Of the kind could be conceived
more rich and beautiful than the monument of Louis
XIV and his royal consort. There, thought is all
that remains Of the grand monarch who filled France
with his works and the world with his name; how
various the fortunes well as the characters of men
how conspicuous some how obscure others; but dust
is dust, and all is dust at last
After hours sojourn in this dark domain, amazed
though ! was at what ! saw, well pleased again
emerged and breathed the vital air and the cheer
fu light and the matter Of the dargenf settled with
my guide, FASTENED again to Paris, for il was now
the evening Of the first Of the "three days" and
longed TO see the French at grand frolic Arrived
at The Champs Eysee the great holiday resort Of The
Parsians ! saw already temporary shops, theatres
circuses, enclosures for wild animals, bands Of mus-
clans, vast preparations for fireworks and illumina-
tons at the public expense and all sorts Of odd dress
es, buoonery and monkey tricks and whatever could
sare, surprise or please. Like Johnson at dinner,
resolved hold out against the wit and buoonery Of
Foote but Obliged to surrender in spite OF
resolution to only that might learn and in spite
of fatigue and dyspepsia forced to laugh at the
tricks Of mounebanks and to par'ake of the pleasure
and the glee Of those around me- The French are
fait show and the three days elected all their
talent. Z. N.

Yesterday was the last and great day Of the grand
fete | dned at an early hour, and at three o'clock
moving towards the garden Of the Tuillerles and
the Champs Eysee. The first in order of the specta-
cles had been told, jouste on the Seine oppo-
site the Tuilleries My attention was therefore first
directed TO this. But already great was the crowd
on either bank of the river that to any thing on its
surface next to impossible. Well, and what then
did | seel Why, from until about o'clock walk
ed and walked and with thousands of Others expected
to see grand sight, and saw just nothing but
crowd and preparations for a show--and on grand
scale must say they were-of fireworks and illunina-
tons To be sure there were the usual tricks and
sport in the Champs Elysee, which did not care
again to see Upon the whole, must say have been
sadly disappointed in the fete;' and disposed TO
think that the French, though they exhibit admirable
tact in exhibitions please the eye merely scarce
equal the getting up varied and substantial enter
tanmen for fete; for il should be observed that the
preparations for the fireworks and illumination were
by the Government, and at the public expense. The
people seem to have been long accustomed to depend
upon ROYALTY for the interest of their fetes and grand
exhibitions that they scarce conceive and execute
anything Of interest for themselves felt, and could
not but remark last evening, after five hours prom
enade that had not spent disagreeable an after
noon at Paris.
But is O'clock and in the great enclosure of the
Tuieres and the Champs Eiysee at least 500 600 lights
are lit, and an illumination presents itself beyond con-
ception beautiful and magnificent The great central
avenue from the palace Of the Tuilleres to the Arch
of Triumph of nearly quite two miles in extent, is
lined on either side with lights attached to frames
erected for the purpose. These frames, for the'dis-
lance of near mile along the Champs Elysee, are GO
or 10 feet in height of continuous sort of net
work the surface Of which seems almost covered with
lights Of various colors red blue, green, &c. (he
colors of the glasses containing the material of the
ights) AT intervals again, from either side of the
frame, aie suspended over the avenue brilliant arks
and chandeliers In word, the whole is arranged
with consummate art, and scale, will repeat,
truly grand, presenting scene of Understandable bril-
lancy and beauty The exhibition of the fireworks,
a, an hour later than chose to be out was, am told
surprisingly fine. should mention also that for an
hour or more during the illumination there grand
treat of instrumental music front of the palace of
the Tuleries. have heard may be before good
music but never by so great number of performers
C.N.
Some to whom have mentioned my dsappoint-
ment have told that the seeming vacuy of the fee
the want Of general and hearty interest the part
of the people, is owing to their discomfort with the
Government.

GEN. HARRISON AT PITTsBURe
From The Gazette, Jan


GENERAL HARRISON, arrived here yesterday after
noon, about O'clock the Steam Boat Ben Franklin
accompanied by the Fulton which had been des-
patched from this place to meet him at Wheeling and
convey him here in case the river should be too low
for the franklin.
Upon landing, he was conducted to the apartments
provided for him and his suite the Pittsburgh Hotel
in an open carriage, accompanied by the Mayors OF
the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny and General
Markle.
He addressed an immense assemblage of our fellow
citizens from the front of IRONS Hotel this mornii
eleven o'clock.
The address eloquent, pertinent to the occasion,
and gave very great satisfaction to the many thou
sands who heard him.
Werecolect that when General jackson arrived
here there were net one-ffth part as many persons
assembled to see him there yesterday TO greet
the brave the honest and kind hearted soldier ofNorh
Bend.
The General will remain in this city until Monday,
and then ascend the Monongahela to Brownsville,
where he will take the National Road.
The to be suspicious to the old sol
dicr the suffrages of the people. Winter,
for the first time in many years, smiling coun-
tenance at the last of January to greet the arrival OF
the veteran soldier who, in many campaigns, deed his
toughest blasts
Several points of resemblance in the lives of Wash
ington and Harrison have been pointed out.
Both visited the site of our city in their outset in
life The former had some of his earliest and sever
est lessons in the of this section Of country
and the atteris about to pass by the scenes OF
many of these events, his way to undertake the du
ties of that lofty station which the former first at
tanned. Jumonvilles defeat and DEATH Washington
capture at Fort Necessity and Braddocks defeat, all
occurred near the route which Harrison is about to
pursue on his way to the city of Washington.

THE PROSPECTIVE PRE-EMPTIoN
BILL

The debate in the Senate which arose on this
Bill was finally terminated on Tuesday. The
amendments proposed by Mr. Crittenden and
Mr.. Young, the first coupling distribution with
presumption, and the last providing for cession
only, were neither of them adopted Mr.. Ben
toms Bill, the term Log Cabin having been
struck out by the friends of its author, passed
the full Senate by vote Of 81 yeas TO 10 nays.
1t is now to undergo the ordeal of the House of
Representatives before it can become law.
Owing, however, to the vast amount of urgent
business already before that House, the proximi
ty Of the end Of the present Congress, and the
long debates that will doubtless arise when the
bills brought up, it can hardly be expected that
the bill can be carried into law at present
The remarks of Mr. RWEs, of Virginia, de-
livered as the vote was about to be taken, will
be found in the Congressional report. They
are certainly conceived in conservative spirit,
and expressed in the language of moderation.

MURDEROUS ARRAY AT DAYTON,
OHIO.

We learn from the Dayton Journal that on Monday
night several young went to negro house, about
midnight, forced their way in, and asked for white
woman of bad character, who known TO harbor
there Several blacks in the house denied her being
there--the young men undertook to search for her,
and were attacked by the blacks, one Of whom was
armed with large Bowie knife, Is inches long. The
whites rushed to the door, but before they could
cape, one of them, Andrew McCleary, stabbed to
the heart, and otherwise shockingy cut, that he
died instantly. Another-Daniel Davs-was so bad
~ wounded that he is not expected to live and third
received severe wound. 1t is said the whites were
entirely unarmed.
Two or three of the negroes have been arrested.
The who inflicted the stabbing has not yet been
taken The Mayor, under the direction of the Coun-
Gil, has offered reward of $3.50 for his apprehension
his name is Alexander Price; he is about feet stout
and well made, high forehead and marked with few
pock-marks on the end of his nose.
There had been succession of riots upon small
scale in consequence of the movements of some aboli
tionists

H Gen. Harrison arrived in this city yesterday af
ternoon at about half past two o'clock During the
whole day onr wharf was crowded with persons anx-
ousy awaiting his arrival and at about two o'clock
the boat on which he camc was discovered to be in
sight five or six miles down the river The fact was
announced by the discharge of cannon and in about
half an hour the splendid steamer Ben Franklin
rounded the point and into port in gallant style
Four or five pieces ofartillery shore fired with
outintermission, and the board the boat
sponded The bells of the city were rung and al
most every whig house displayed flag.
By the time the boat arrived at the wharf the con-
course of people was tremendous, and three hearty
cheers were given at the moment she touched the Vr
ginia soil Gen. Harrison waited on by the Com
mittee of Reception, and escorted in open carriage
to the United States Hotel, where cordial welcome
and the Inequalities of the city rendered to him
by s. SPRIGo, ESQ., in neat and appropriate address
The General responded in forcible and happy man
ner.
During the afternoon he received the congratula
tons of thousands of our feew-ctizens from every
point for miles around and in the evening he was es
corted to the residences of Mr.. E. Dorsey, where
splendid ente tainment provided and here he wa
waited upon by hundreds more including our fai
countrywomen Gen. II. left for Pittsburgh at lat
hour last night Arrangements for his reception ar
made at Pittsburgh.

"Let US prescribe prescription"

Senator Preston.
Divide and conquer is the motto of the Van
Buren, federalists Unaccustomed to tolerate
liberty LOT conscience and freedom of debate
themselves, they imagine the triumphant party
will follow their illiberal and anti-Republican
example. They reckon falsely. One of the
cardinal elements which entered into the late
contest, was legislative freedom and indepen-
dence, and it was, in part because the Van Bu-
rem federalists subjected all their adherelts to
tyrannical and procrustean rule, that many burst
the trammels of party, and were sustained by
the country in their resistance to its arbitrary
dictates. The experience of the last few years
has impressed deeply in the hearts of public men
the patriotic lesson, ''that they have coun-
try to save as well as a party to obey" the
teachings of Loco-focoism to the contrary not
withstanding. That the results of the lesson
should be exhibited in the councils of the nation,
is one of the blessed fruits of the political re
generation, and more to be approved than re-
jected.
''Shoot the deserters,n was the malignant and
savage cry of detested Loco-focoism, whenever
member of the party attempted to draw the
breath of freedom, or speak the language of the
conscience. So now, if they do not anticipate,
they commend the same infamous policy to the
friends and supporters of Gen. Harrison. No
sooner had Mr.. Wise begun to express doubt
as to the propriety of some of the measures of
his friends, than the Globe and Richmond En-
quirer clapped their hands with delight, judging
from the discipline of their own camp that to
doubt was to be damned" "The tomahawk is
raised to strike,n exclaims the enraptured En-
quirer: "Mr. Wise has committed the unpar-
donable SIM" and all that, the whole of which
we pronounce an unworthy attack and libel upon
the Democratic Harrison party, and upon Mr.,
Wise They have not yet adopted the intolerani
and intolerable discipline of Loco-focoism which
frowns upon every dawn of free thought, and de-
nounces every man who dares express an indie
pendent opinion, deserter, to be ANONYMOUSLY
shot No. The discipline of camps and courts
martial is not the discipline of the American
people, nor does il belong to, or is il to be coune
nanced by the enlightened genius of her free in
stitutons. When the day comes that opinion
is no longer tolerated in this land, the spirit Of
liberty will have 6ed and we shall have become
a nation of slaves.
The members of the Democratic Harrison
party in and out of Congress, are freemen, and
they are not to be seduced from the conscientious

q GENUINE DEMOCRACY

We are always pleased with Gen. Harrison'S
speeches and letters. We are specially de-
lighted with the determination he expressed on
leaving Cincinnati, Of administering the Coy

relying upon the principles of the genuine De-

tration of public affairs. Planted on the rock OF
Democratic principles his administration will be
successful, and his name immortal
