Marshall News Death Scene.

The vengeance of the allied power de-
manded some victims; and the intrepid
Ney who had well nigh put the crown on
Bonaparte' head at Waterloo, was to be
one of them. Condemned TO be shot, he
was led to the Garden Of Luxemburg on
the morning Of the 7th of December, and
placed in front of file of soldiers, drawn
up to kill him. One of the officers step
ped up TO bandage his eyes, but he re-
pulsed him saying, "Are you ignorant that
for twenty five years | have been accus-
toned to face both ball and bullet!" He
then lifted his hat above his head, and with
the same calm voice that had had steadied
his columns so frequently in the roar and
tumult of battle, said, II declare before
God and man, that never betrayed my
country; may my death render her happy.
Vive la Francer' He then turned to the
soldiers, and striking his hand on his heart
gave order. "Soldiers fre!'' A simulta-
neous discharge followed, and the "oravest
Of the brave" sank to rise no more. "He
who had fought .tUe hundred battles for
France, not one against her, was shot as a
traitor!'' As looked on the spot where
he fell, could not but sigh over his fate.
True, he broke his oath of allegiance-so
did others, carried away by their attach
ment to Napoleon, and the enthusiasm
that hailed his approach to Paris. Still
he was no traitor -Headley's Mscela-
mics. ..

An Immense Union Meeting at Natchez.

CINCINNATI. March ZZ.
The Natchez papers received here this
evening, contain the proceedings OF an
immense Union Meeting held in that city.
II is stated to be the largest meeting ever
held there. Resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted, declaring that as California
has formed constitution, and demands
admission into the Union, il would be
alike impolitc aud unjust, to attempt TO
fortify our own rights, by trenching upon
the rights of others. The clause in the
constitution of California which prohibits
slavery, should form no obstacle in her
full, free and prompt admission as an inte
gral and equal member of our confederacy.
Such admission is not deemed unconstitu-
tional, or an aggression on the rights of
the South, but mere question of expedi-
ency. That the present agitation is cal
culated to create division instead of
united action on the part of the South.

they will stay where they are and not risk
their lives in such an inhospitable climate

ceased will furnish the notice, and pay for
its insertion, it is published; not otherwise.
Hundreds-thousands leave their bones to
rot in the soil Of California, leaving friends
in the States, aud elsewhere, to look for
their return. who never learn their fate
for many months-perhaps for years. If
a man could be assured of good health
while here, he might'be excused for COM
ing, because he may do well; but the chan
ces are ten to one against him, in point of
health, and he had better not venture 1t. =.

The Beauty of French Intervention.

The Beauty Of French Interuenfaon.
According to a letter writer, affairs in
Rome, at last advices, were anything but
enviable. The city was represented as
being in a terrible state of excitement. In
the space of twenty EIGHT hours, 500 Ro-
mans, belonging to the first families, were
arrested. On one side, one hears repeat
edly these words, "Yesterday, two, three
or four, or more, French were assaulted
or assassinated;" and, on the other side,
"Thirty forty, or fifty persons were ar
rested" Scarcely had the decree of the
French government, affixing the penalty
of death against the bearer of arms been
published, than the advanced sentinel of
the Campo Naccino was struck down by
a blow of poinard. Fathers of families
are shot for carrying knives. The French
police search all classes Of persons in the
streets, in open day. The appearance Of
the city is most sombre; scarcely ybody
goes abroad except on business.

Our readers will recOllect that in the
account of the recent dreadful catastrophe
on the Mobile river, in the burning of the
OrIine ST. John, it was stated that the
carpenter Of the boat, who had on board
three negroes belonging to himself and
brother, jumped with the negroes INTO the
yaw boat and cut her adrIf, thus depri-
wing the passengers and crew of the only
means of escape, and causing the terri

Slavery in Californio.-A friend from New.

a letter from his brother now in California, for
merly captain of company of Texas Ran.
gers, which states, that the writer has with him
on the Sacramento river thirty-two slaves en-.
gagged in digging gold, who have made for him,
each on an average, from $l5 to $40 per day,
since the 10Th day of March last The me-
g7oes are from 40 TO so years old, They give
him no trouble, nor does any one interfere with
them. The letter also states, that q majority Of
the people in California, who went from the
States are in favor of slavery, but the natives
and all other foreigners are opposed to the in-
stitution,-Mledgeuille Union. ;.
Wehave never doubted that slave labor would
be extremely profitable in California. We learn
that similar information has been received in
this city, from Mr.. William H. Mead. s'
We learn, from gentleman who has had
the best opportunity of Judging, that slaves
make the very best of miners-better by odds,
than white mon. They do more work in q CIV

ter than any other.

BY 4. ). VERNON.

November hills are brown and bare,
November skies are grey;
And through November woods the wind
Keeps signing all the day
The leaves go spinning DER the ground,
Or whirling through the air,
And many flower lies dead and cold
That once was bright and fair.
The wild duck swims upon the lake,
Or feeds upon the sedge;
Gone are the robin and his mate
That chirruped in the hedge.
And through the frosty morning air
High up and out of sight,
In endless line migrating birds
Maintain their steady flight.
Alone the willow and the pine
Look green across the plain;
With creaking sound upon the barn,
Quick shifts the homely vane.
The waters lie, half hid in haze,
Dark, shadowy and cold,
And in the West the setting sun
Sinks in blaze of gold.
November days forewarn us all
That winter soon will come.
That life is drawing to a close,
When death shall call us home.
Oh! for that dark and dismal grave
May we in time, prepare,
Nor let the icy close Of life
Involve US in despair.
