A SKETCH OF LOUIS NAPOLEON;

The news of the election of Louis Ma.
poleon to the Presidency of the French Re.
public will naturally excite some curiosity
in regard to his history and public charac-
ter. Hitherto he has only been known
through the foolish affairs at S~trasbourg and
Boulogne, his published works, notwith.
standing the merits claimed for them by his
adherents, having failed to enlarge his rep
utation. His life has, nevertheless, been
somewhat eveLtful, and he does not lack
the advantage of varied fortune and severe
experience. Whether he has profted by it,
remains to be seen. From such hasty ma
terials as we could procure, we have ar
ranged (says the New-York Tribune) the
following brief notice of his history:
'Charles Louis Napoleon, son of Louis,
ex-king of Holland. was born in Paris on
the Goth of April, 1903. His god parents
were the Emperor and Maria Louisa, and
during his childhood he was an especial ia
vorite with the former. On the return of
of Napoleon from Elba, he stood beside him
on the Champ de Mars, and when embrac-
ed by him for the last time at Maimaison,
the young Louis, then a boy of seven years,
wished to follow him at all hazards. When
the family was banished from France, his
mother removed to Augsburg, where he re-
ceived a good German education. He was
afterwards taken to Switzerland, where he
obtained the right Of citizenship and COM
menced a course of military studies. AZ
ter the July revolution, by which he was a
second time prescribed from France, lie WIS.,
tied Italy in company with his brother, and
in 1881 took part in a popular Instruction
against the Pope. This movement failed,
but he succeeded in making his escape, and
his brother dying at Forli the same year,
he visited England and afterwards return
ed to Switzerland, where, for two or three
years, he contented himself with writing
political and military works, which do not
appear to have been extensively read
The death of the Duke of Reichstadt in
1882, gave a new impulse to his ambitious
hopes. His first revolutionary attempt, at.
Strasbourg, in October, 1896, completely
failed, but after a short Imprisonment in
Paris, he was sent 70 this country. The ILL
ness of his mother occssioned his return
the following year, and after a visit to
Switzerland he took up his residence in
England until his second attempt at Bou-
l"gne, in 1910.
Sin this affair several of his followers
were killed, and he was himself taken, and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life, in the
castle Of Ham. The particulars of his es-
cape in May, 1916, after an Incarceration
of six years, are well known. From that
time until the end of September last, when
he was returned as deputy to the Nation
al Assembly from the Department of the
Seine, he has resided in England.

Destructive FIRE. On Saturday morning last,
about o'clock, our town was visited with one Of the
most destructive fires that has ever occurred in this
county. The FIRE broke out in the store of MIR. Jesse
w. Burton |; but how it originated is mystery that
cannot be solved. It is supposed to have commence
ed in the upper story of the building, and that is all
that we can learn about it. In an hour Mr.. Hamlin

Mr.. ]. l.. Jones the Smoke house on the premises |;
the large shed over the Wilmington Rail Road the
house of Mrs. Mary Allen, occupied by Mrs. Davis;
the Office of Wilmington and R. r. T.. Co., occupied
by Mr. Campbell, and the store-house Of Major L.
Wilcox, occupied by Mr.. D. G. Briggs, wers all on
fire. Nothing could stay the fury of the deEouring
element till it had enveloped all the property enumer
ated above. Mr.. Burton had time to save nothing.

Of the turntare goods, &c. contained in the houses

MEssRs. LANE AND sTANLY.

It appears. from the following article from the
Goldsborough Patriot of Saturday last, that after all
Mr.. S:anly is not legally elected. That paper prom
ses fuller statement in regard this matter here
after. The Editor says:
"It is extremely perplexing to Contemplate the
conflicting statements that have reached US daily since
the day of election in this district Rumor with her
hundred tongues has been busily at work. sowing
doubts and uncertainties with profuse hand. Not
withstanding the election has taken place fortnight
ago, yet the result seems to be enveoped incloudS
OF mystery. But few days ago, Mr. Stanly' organs
claimed for him majority of seven hundred and fifty
This we knew was impossible, and we find at length
that this $50 is reduced, not to Sc reported IN
our last, but to the poor pitifu sam of AZ.
After having submitted TO this defeat and having
set out on our onward course, after all doubt OF
Stanly's success had been expelled, another cloud
Of doubts seem to have arisen in the public mlnd'
And 1t seems from the present TImOrs that according
to law, Lane IS elected. The facts, as reported 70
as, are these: One precinct in Hyde, giving Sanly
49 majority failed to reach the court house at the tme
appointed by law, to compare the polls. The shenn
OF that county, of course, had to GO to Washington
to meet the other Sheris of the district to make his
returns. And of course he went there with those
returns, as made out at the Court House of his coun
ty, In his possession. If these returns had been
made by him without any alteration, we learn that
Lane was entitled to the certificate Of election at the
hands of the sheriffs. But to avert this, etter as
we learn, was received at Washington by the Shenh
of Hyde, stating that Stany had received 49 majority
in the district alluded to, and which 49 was taken
into account by the sheriff and returned accordingly
This gave Stanly AZ majority. Now whether these
votes had been Polled at all, or whether, if POIloO
the sheriff was authorized by law receive them ~
Washington is still amatter of doubt and we toroe1

THE WHIG Loss I'm THIS STATE.

In estimating the popular vote 10 this State IN the
late Congressional elecon, il viii be necessary, as
there was no contest in the First Second, Sixth and
Seventh Districts. to ascertain the majorites for
Taylor and Cass in those Districts, and then add to
them respectively the maiorites for Congress- in the
Counties composing the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth,
and Ninth Districts.
In the Counties composing the First District the
majority for Taylor was 1923.
In the Second District it is difficult to ascertain,
with entire accuracy the majority for Taylor, some
Counties which vote together for President vote
separately in different Congressional Districts. Ca
tawba for example; which belongs to this District,
votes for President with Lincoln and CASTOR. We
put down the Taylor majority here, however, at
5000, an estimate, we think, sufficiently large. 81

MR.,STANLY AND THE FREESOILERS.

I MR,,,STANLY AND THE FREESOILERS.
Horace treely of the New York Tribune, who is
constantly denouncing Slavery and the people of the
South as dealers 10 human esh,'' pays the follow
ing compliment in his paper of the 10th instant, to
the Hon. Edward Stanly: ,,...
"NoRTH CARoLINA--MR. STANLY. We have rare
ly felt greater pleasure in recording the election Of
any one Member of Congress than we now have in
announcing that Edward Sanly is chosen to represent
the With District of North Carolina by above one
hundred majority. True, that is much less than the
rightful Wing majority in the District, but we could
not and did not ask for than his bare election
He had no chance to bring out the whole Whig
strength. Another candidate had originally been
nominated, but was prevented from canvassing by
Illness leaving the field completely TO his Loco-Foco
competitor. Finally, Mr. Bryan declined. his health
still failing, and Mr.. Stanly was nominated IN his
stead. Mr.. Lanes Of several weeks was great
advantage; but that would have been easily overcome
but for the cry of Abolition and traitor to the
South raised against Mr.. Stanly because ne had re-
peatedly, when before in Congress, voted against
cry as started without pretext nor raised without
effect. Mr.. Staaly has probably lost five hundred
votes by it, but he has enough left. He will be
Enthusiastically welcomed back to Congress by Wings
from all sections Of the Union"
In the same number of his paper, Mr.. Greedy, in
speaking Of the black and white race, says: Perish
all M,y constitutions usages, reeedents, iCheh eraH
man and dspress Gnother.'' We wish Mr.. Stanly
and his slavehoding friends Of the Eighth District
much joy of their particular friend and colaborer,

England and France, it is said, about to propose
mediation between Austria and Hungary. We GER
tainly should not like to see Hungary overwhelmed;
but, we doubt whether death upon the battle field
would not be preferable to any consequences that
might result from the baeful interPositon of such
mediators. France mediator, where liberty is in
volved! France, with the infamy of her Roman in-
reference, blazoned upon her unblHshiRg front |!
France mediator between liberty and despotism
1t is the very error of the And England too,
with her hands full presently, of the labors of that
"protecton' she has vouchsafed to the Mosquito
King! Yes, Englandand France mediators between
Austria and Hungary for the protection of liberty
Such protection vultures give TO lambs covering
and then devouring them.' For part hope that
Hungary may yet maintain her rights, perpetuae her
glory and renown by the successful resistance and
ultimate defeat of her combined enemies, and finally
establish her republication and independence, while
England and France adjust the affairs of Rome and
Mosquito-dom. The English people have manifest
ed sincere interest in the unequal contest to which
Hungary has been exposed by the bastard alliance of
Russia and Austria and perhaps the English gov
eminent may find it polite, and quite safe, to affect
little sympathy with liberal principles so far off as
Hungary, while they transport thepatrots of Ireland.
But while O'Brien and his comrades are stretching
away the ocean, condemned martyrs in the cause
of the people, it will be credalous and plant faith
that would commit the gallant cause Of Hungary to
the hand which exiled thefn. Bahimore Sun.
