Marshall News Death Scene.

The Vengeance of the allied powers de-
manded some victims; and the intrepid Ney,
who had well nigh put the crown on Bona
parties head at Waterloo, was to be one of
them Condemned to be shot, he was led to
the Garden of Luxemburgh on the morning
of the 18th of December, and placed in front
of file of soldiers, drawn up to kill him.
One of the officers stepped up to bandage his
eyes, but he repuls'd him, saying "Are you ig
norant that for the last twenty five years |
have been accustomed to face both ball and
bullet ?" He then lifted his hat above his
head, and with the same calm and manly
voice that had studied his columns so frequent
ly in the roar and tumut of battle, said, a de-
clare before God and man, that l never be-
trayed my country; may my death render her
happy. Vive la France" He then turned
to the soldiers, and striking his hand on his
heart gave the order. "Soldiers fire" A 81
multaneous discharge followed, and the BRAY
est of the brave" sank 10 rise no more. "He
who had fought tfUe hundred battles for France,
not one against her, was shot as traitor!''-
As l looked on the spot where he fell, could
not but sigh over bis fate True he broke his
oath of allegiance-so did others, carried away
by their attachment to Napolen, and the en-
thusiasm that hailed his approach to Paris
Still he was no traitor.

weeping Compassion.

The Rev. Albert Barnes, in closing dis
course on reyivals Of religion, uses the follow
ing impressive language in Illustration Of the
Divine commission for the souls of ruined and
Iperishing =
"a heather monarch once rose up from his
throne and covered himself with sackelotk, and
was followed by his court and mobiles, and by
all the people in solemn fast for three days.
Who adjudges that the bosom of the king Of
Nneveh in this was swayed by any improper
feeling? Another heather monarch at the
head of two millions of men, sat down and wept-
In hundred years. said he, all that mighty
host will be dead. The vision of Xerxes ex-
tended no farther. He had no tear to shed
over their doom beyond the grave. How diff
ferent that feeling from the view which excl
ted our Redeemer to weep! His tears fell be-
cause he could see beyond the tomb because
he saw the unending career of the never-dy-
ing soul; and knew what it was if the soul
should be lost. And this multitude that we
see in this city this gay, busy, thoughtless,
volatile, unthinking throng, that sweep along.
these streets, or dwell in these palaces or that
crowd these theatres, or these assembly rooms-
where, oh where, will they be in hundred
years? Dead! all dead. Every eye viii have
lost its lustre; every frame its vigor; every
rose shall have faded from the check; the
charms of music shall no more enter the ear;
the fingers shall have forgotten the melody of
the lutte and the organ. Where will they be?
In yonder heaven, or in yonder hell Part,
alas! how small part! with ears attuned to
sweeter sounds and eyesradient with immor-
tai brilianey, and with frame braced with
the vigor of never dying youth Part alas!--
how large a part! in that world, view of
whose unutterable sufferings drew tears from
the Son of God Each man that dares to
curse Jehovah on his throne; each victim of
intemperance and lust; each wretch on which
the eye fastens in the lowest form of humani-
ty has an immortal nature that shall live be-
yond the stars, and that shall survive when
athe heavens shall be rolled together as

awful scenes of eternal justice? Christian,

The Atmosphere.

The atmosphere rises above us with its
cathedral dome arching toward heaven, of
which is the most familiar synome and symbol.
1t floats around us hike that grand object
which the Apostle John saw in his vision "a
sea of glass like unto crystal" So massive is
it, that when it begins to stir, it tosses about
great ships like playthings, and sweeps cities
and forests like snow-fakes, to destruction be-
fore it. And yetiti is SO mobile, that we have
lived years in it before we can be persuaded
it exists at all, and the great bulk of mankind
never realise the truth that they are bathed
in an ocean of air. ItsNeight is so enormous
that iron shivers before it like glass; yet a
soap-ball sails through it with impunity, and
the finest insect waves it with its wing. We
touch it not, but it touches us; its warm south
winds bring back color to the pale face of the
invalid its cold west winds refresh the fevered
brow, and make the blood mantle in our
cheeks; even its north blasts brace into new VI
gor the hardened children of our rugged cline.
The eye is indebted to it for all the magni-
fcencc of sunrise, the full brightness of mid
day, the chastened radiance of the cleaning
and the clouds that cradle near the setting sun
But for its rainbow would want its triumphai
arch and the winds would not send their
heecy messengers on errauds round the beav-
ems The cold wether would shed its snow
feathers on the earth, nor would drops of dew
gather on the flowers. The kindly rain would
never fall-nal storm nor fog diversity the
face of the sky. Our naked globe would
turn its tanned unshadowed forehead to the
sun, and one dreary monotonous blaze Of
light and heat dazzle and burn up all things

Ey We have just learned that the Wing
Convention at Perrysburg have nominated as
candidates for Delegates to the Convention to
form New Constitution, the following gen
tlemen:
For the Senatorial District, composed of the
counties of Sandusky, Wood, Lucas, Oottawa
and Henry, DR.. LA @. RAwsoN, of Fremont,
received the unanimous vote of the Conyen-
ton, and was of course nominated.
For the Representative District composed
of the counties of Sandusky, Wood and Otta-
wa, JOHN c. SP1NK, Esq, was unanimously
nominated by the Convention.
For the District composed of the counties Of
Lucas and Henry, Hon. R. WAITE, the pres.
ent able Representative from that District in
the Ohio Legislature, was unanimously nomin-
ated by their Convention.
These are good nominations, in fact better
could not have been made, and should they
be elected, the people of these counties and in
fact the people of the whole State, will have a
guaranty that their interests will be attended
to in the Convention.

The Great Union NTecting-speccls OF
General Scott.

The meeting in Castle Garden was the mon
ster assemblage of the year. Tke purpose was
to declare the attachment of the people to the
American Union, and was composed without
regard to party. Mayor Woodruff presided
General Scott was on the platform. After
other speeches, the multitude became quite
vociferous for Gen. Scott to address them, and
after some little delay, the gallant officer arose,
and the cheers which were really deafening
for some minutes having subsided, he spoke as
follows
Fellow Citizens, said he-I feel great emo
ton in coming before you | came here this
evening not Intending to take any part in the
proceedings. 1t was my intention not to do or
say anything, but merely to take seat in some
remote corner of this room and witness what
was going forward Nor did I expect to be
called on to do so; butsome of my good friends
discovered me below and forced me to appear
before you, and address few words to this
glorious meeting. And here let me add, that
this great assemblage is worthy of the Empire
State and of this great Union.
Fellow cities, am delighted at seeing be-
lore me SuCn NtlSG dSS0IuUIoS0, COIl IlIJiloiliSS
the wealth, the intelligence, the patriotism, and
I may add, the wisdom of this great and grow
ing city.
Fellow-citizens did not come here as a
party mani came here as an humble and
devoted friend of our great Union-not as a
partizan of either the North, East West or
South. l have served in every part of our
country, and feel alike for all, and my only
object is the preservation of our glorious Con
stitution and Union, (Great cheering followed
this sentiment.) and knowing that this meeting
was called together to promote harmony, good
feeling, and brotherly love amongst all, came
here to be a witness at least of your proceed
| ings.
Fellow citizens, thank you for the kind
ness you have shown me. l repeat again, !
have no party feeling on this subject but when
| saw the Union threatened, felt as all good
citizens should feel, and now present myself
before you to throw whatever weight may
have in the scale, to preserve intact our glo-
rious Union; for if that should go down I hope
[ may not survive it.
The General concluded by recommending
Union, conciliation and patriotism amongst all
the citizens, and sat down-after which he was
again loudly cheered.

iris tho Mecca of the States.

A person who accompanied Gen. Taylor in
his late visit to Richmond, gives the following
description of the scene as the steamboat pas
sed Mount Vernon:
We were now passing Mount Vernon. The
bell began to toll. The President approached
the guards of the boat and gazed at it attent-
lively. Some one remarked-"For fifty years
no boat or ship has BASED the spot where lie
the remains of the illustrious dead, without
paying the solemn compliment of tolling their
bell while passing. No such honor was ever
paid to the memory of any other of the great
dead"
"'Tis the Mecca of the States" solemnly
added the President, without for a moment
taking his eyes from the spot
