Latest from France.

The President has put forth new pro-
c!ama,ion, in which he Invites the people
to vote freely, and declares that if the ma
jority be against him, he will resign every
thing. However, says the correspondent
Of the Globe, the Indications are that he
will have very large majority.
The exact loss sustained by the army,
in the late engagements, is not known; one
superior officer ami fifteen soldiers were
killed, and three officers and one hundred
and four soldiers wouude1-m many sf the
latter very seriously. The less is consid'
erei = hcary one.

It is said tina, Marshal jerome Bona

President, entrea,ing him not to establish
despotic authority, bur to call together the
constitutional Assembly to frame . new
constitution for France.

Carrots for Horses.

1t is admitted by every one who is at
Ill acquainted with the great nutritve
"a .Iit;,s CT the carrot, that as a winter
food fer horses, to use in small quantities
daily-say ha 4 a peek to each horse, with
Their dry food, and especially in the absence
Of .reen provender-it is Of the utmost
value. 1t not only possesses fattening
properties equal to oats taking bushel for
bushel-but it secures to the horse, in
winter season, fine health, a loose skin, and
q glossy coat of (which it is impossible
to produce except by the use of the carrot.
To those keeping horses, who do not
raise their own carrots, We would hint that
now is the time to procure supply, while
they are being harvested. About twelve
bushels to = horse, we think. would be
sufficient They should be buried in the
usual way, and taken out, bushel at a
time, as they may be wanted. They will
in this WY keep plump and fresh as the
day they were taken from the Geld.-lGer.
nansewn Telegraph.

The advices by the Baltic show that ex.

usurpation Of Louis Napoleon by any con-
siderable portion Of the French people va.
altogether futile. He has put down all

That seat may or may not soon be ado,p.

he sims directly at the imperial title, and
what is to him Of more consequence, impe.

in usurpation, and like him, has accom-.
piished his end by military force. Bu,
unlike him, he does not control tina. force
through the power Of his Own genius or
the prestige Of victory. He will soon find
that he Is controlled by it. Such is the
prospect. France is in the hands Of The
Pretorians, and Napoleon is but their tool.

to take ride upon it. To say that we, in
company with the rest of the party, were
gratifed, is but faint expression of our
opinion in favor Of the great utility of this
improvement-the first of the kind in Ian
caster county, and among the first in the
State. The road is almost as smooth as
floor, and SO nearly level that in no place
dees the grade exceed two and half de-
grees. 1t is built Of plank eight feet long,
from four to ten inches wide and three in
ches thick, laid eross-wise on sleepers, and
covered about an inch deep with sand
. We Travelled the entire distance in about
half an hour, and the horses were not in
the least jaded, nor were they drove near
as fast as they might have been without
injury. We should think, from what we
witnessed, that on such road horse
might be driven ten miles an hour with
less fatigue to the animal than would fol-
low drive of six miles an hour on any of
our turnpikes, and we are satisfied that
team would be able TO haul double or tre-
bic the weight it can on an ordinary road
The balance of the road from Petersburg
to Mannheim, distance of five miles,
will be completed next summer. The en-
tire cost Of the road, including grading,
p!anking, and damages, we understand will
be about $4,000, Or $1,000 per mile

Kossuth on Government.

During his imprisonment, Kossuth
sketched a code for Hungary, which
proves him to be republican Of the puresl
stamp. He starts out with the idea, which
he seems to have warmly cherished thro'
his whole life, that the GENERALIZATION
of power iu government, such as
is now the baneful principle of the
French Republic, is pernicious in all its
effects, and destructive to liberty. Upon
this basis he erected philosophic and
practical system Ike the government of
the United States, but varied somew bat in
its minute details to suit the peculiar
composition and circumstances Of the
constituent parts of Hungary.
His great Fundamental! principles are
universal suffrage, and the sovereignty of
the people constituted as Democratic
Republic He divides the territory Of the
Republic into Departments, answering to
our States, each one of which is to have
its independen. Assembly invested with
powers over its own aaairs, like those of
Legislatures. The Departments he SUBJ
divided into communes, &c, as we do Our
States, Counties, Districts, &C., each one
o. these to have the management of its
own business, urinterfered with by the
Departmental or General Government.
To legislate for the whole country within
the limits prescribed by a written consti-
tion, he proposed to Congress precisely
similar to our own; a body of Representa-
tives to be elected in Districts by the
people, and Senate to be elected by the
Departments, two from each. Education
is amply provided for, und in regard to
Religion, he says, "the men of the same
creed associate, aud there is the church.
free and independent association, gov
erning itself at will according to the
principles of its worship and its religion.
1t has no;hingto co with the State, and
the State has nothing to do with it. Here
is liberty.

Ventilation,

People are beginning TO yentilatc public
halls, 30 that one can sometimes hear a
lecture without being obliged to inhale
other peoples cast-otf breath, it's foul
gases; but, churches generally hold close
cominunion, aud with most brotherly per-
tinaci:y thesa mouthful of air is breathed
by the whole congregation. Sister Brown
thro"s 1t out Of her lungs with few seeds
of consumption in it, and then brother
Jones takes it into his chest, and gives it
back with tobacco favor, and so on around,
each one supplying from his or her store
Louise some animal matter to make the pre-.
cious little morsel of breath shut up with
in the four walls, good and thick for FAM
lily Consumption. If their minds do not
become assimilated by communication of
faith, their bodies might be the general
union, and communion, and mixing up of
gasseS and vapors Of their mortal part.
People who would not eat out of the same
dish with another, Or sip out OF the same
spoon, think nothing of taking into their
lungs, and incorporating with their blood,
the particles OF foul matter which have
passed off from that Of others system.
We would much rather submit to an indis-
criminate use Of tooth brushes, than breath.
1t would not appear half so disgusting to
put another persons tooth brush into one
mouth, as it would be to take his cast-off
breath into ones iung.-PtsJury Visitor.

ArA dreadful fire occurred, Saturday
morning last in Philadelphia at the N. f.
corner Of 9th and Chestnut, by which the
Hart Building, Shakespeare Building, Eagle
Hotel and others adjacent were consumed.
Three or four lives were lost, among them
Wm.W. Haley, a member of the Bar, and
about 1917 one Of the City Representatives
in the Legislature at Harrisburg, where he
married Miss Haldeman.
The same day, destructive fires broke
out in Buffalo and New York, rendered
more awful by the intensity of the cold,
which prevented the free use of water.

Fire in the Capitol at Washington

Az AA ]i0 SopAIoA dI " dSnIAiSs suA
A fire broke out in the Capitol, at Wash
ington, On Wednesday morning-iu tha;
portion of the building occupied as the
Congressional Library. A telegraphic des-
patch to the North american says it was
frsF discovered by the watchman, and the
flames were then at the centre-table,
sweeping around to the northwest shelving.
When the door was burst open a few buck
cts of water would have suppressed the
FIRE; but very shortly, and by the time the
alarm had been sounded, the entire Libra
~ was in flames. The library contained
10000 volumes. OF these about 20, 600,
IN y adjoining room, were saved. All
the busrs, paintings and elegant fixtures
were destroyed. The roof of the building is
all burnt ont, and the exterior of the
building on the west blackened BY the
smoke and flames.
The Pfes;de,t and the members of his
Cabinet were o. the ground. An engine
was placed in the I.tunda. Every passage
in the building was flooded with water, as
most of it had to be conveyed in buckets.
| There were many thousands Of people
present.
The dome Of the Capitol was at one
time considered in danger, but this and
the two chambers of Congress are unin-
jured. The flames were got under abou,
l. o'clock
The loss on the library is estimated at
over 100000. Many of the works were
exceedingly valuable, aud can not be re-
placed. The fremcn were at work all
day. A guard Of Marines had been de,
tailed to watch the building during the
night.
The origin of the fire is apparently con.
jecture-nothing certain is known.
