Louis Napoleon in New York.

The Brooklyn Daily AdvcrtiSer, mora
izing upon the rapid ascent of Louis Napo-
leon up the ladder of ambition, from posi-
tive poverty to superlative grandure and
power, recalls some Renaissance of his So
journ in New York City many years ago.
The editor says:
"What strange events have occurred with
in few years in reference to that man
We knew him whilst he was residing in
New York, at lodging-house in Reade
street, then kept by gentleman who now
occupies high official position under the
French Government. At that time he was
very poor and very dissipated VIGOROUSLY
profigate in his habits, and without the pc
cuniary ability to indulge to the full bent of
hisinclination the culpable propensities which
characterized him, he was frequently ex-
PEELED from certain places in which he OBJ
truded himself, and more than dozen times
was the occupant of cell at the old Jail in
the park, long since torn down.
''Not long prior to his leaving the United
States, he was arrested for misdemeanor
committed by him at the disreputable house
of woman whose establishment he often
visited, and the writer of this article was
employed professionally to save him from
the threatened consequences of his reckless
ness and indiscretion. We little supposed
at that time that the thoughtless gay young
man who was then our client land who il
still indebted to us for counsel fees and dis
bursments) would become Emperor o.
France. Such however, is now his "man
ifest destiny" although we believe that tn,
realization of his ambitious hopes and aspi
rations will but hasten the fearful doom
which unquestionably impends over him."

Despising Household Duties.

From variety Of causes, nothing is more
common than to find American women who
have not the slightest idea of household du-
ties. 4 writer thus alludes to this subject
ain the neglect of household cares Amer
lean women stands alone. A German lady,
no matter how lofty her rank, never forgets
that domestic labors conduce to the health of
body and mind alike. An English lady,
whether she be only gentleman's wife or a
dukes, does not despise the household, and
even though she has housekeeper, devOtes
portion of her time to this, her true, her
happiest sphere 1t is reserved for our re-
publican fine ladies to be more choice than
even their monarchical and aristocratic sis
tiers. The result is lassitude of mind often
as fatal to health as the neglect of bodily
exercise. The wife who leaves her house
hold cares to the servant pays the penalty
which has been affixed to idleness since the
foundation of the world, and either Wits a.
way from ennui, or is driven into all sorts of
fashionable follies to find employmentfor her
mind"

How are we getting along with our Rail
Road


In answer to this inquiry we have to say,
~ addition to what all know Of tho daily
trains OF cars aud transportation Of Passen-
gers aud freight to and from Chronicle, a
distance Of tbirty.three miles from the city,
that the road is under contract to the South
line Of Pontotoc county, Mississippi; and,
tuot the engineer, Crypt. Child, is only watt
ING for the subscriptions to be completed in
Che two counties Of Ltawamba and Tisho-
miugo, to leo out the contracts to Inc South
cn boundary of Tennessee. Tbs portion Of
the road under contract is dividedinto three
divisions
The FIRST division extends one hundred
miles from Chronicle, to the mouth of the
Sowashec. The country which this traver-
SOS is piney woods, with a loose sandy soil
upon fine red clay foundation. We UNI
dcrstand that the graduation, masonry and
bridging Is progressing rapidly on this sec
ton. The work is light; the grade going
north not being moro than twenty-five feet
a mile, and the maximum coming south not
over thirty feet. Seven thousand tons of
iron have been purchased for this division,
and will be here, probably, sometime in Feb
ruary by next July, they will commence
laying the rails, and by January, 1854, we
may expect to see the famous Chickasawhay
cotton taking up new mode Of conveyance
to Mobile. The counties Of Greene, Wayne,
Clarke, Jones, Jasper, Newton, Lauderdale
and kempcr, viii be tributary to this.
in the second division of one hundred
miles from the mouth of the Sowashee, the
road let out pretty largely to planters, whC
arc paid partly in stock This division runs
through the rich cotton region of Eastern
Mississippi, and when completed, will afforC
q convenient access to the Springs of Lau
derdale. The grade on this is moderate, anC
the work light; being mostly rolling prai
RE, with the exception Of the Tombigbet
summit. At this point, for about six miles
in kcmpor county, the work is exceedingly
heavy. But, Messrs. Lockhart and VII
liams, two very experienced and energetic
contractors, have taken hold Of this portion
and are hard at work upon the three divis
ions, the engineers are busy, with only ordi
nary difficulties to encounter. There i
great interest all along in the completion
Of the road, but we understand that thu
county of Clarke failed to vote in favor o
the tax, giving aid to the road. This, how
ever, is what we mustexpect There are il
Mississippi, like as in Alabama, counties
whore taxation is looked upon as a burden

the memories of '76. They smell oppres
sion in it, and their blood begins to heat a!
ut the presence of an enemy. But, we ma,

Bsg~ TheJunior Editor of the Republican
in retiring from the position, which he has
occupied for the last two months, begs to
express his sincere thanks for the cordial
manner in which he has been received by
the Democratic party of Lowldes county
During the short time that he has occupied
the editorial chair great revolution has
been efected-the Wing party las been de-
feated and the Democracy rest red to that
power which it has held, with le exception
of twelve years, since the four alton of our

cannot forboar congratulatng the IA
Gratis of Lowndes on the noble part Il
in that contest, and trusts that all Of Ti4cIi
may live to achieve many more such victo-
ries.
In retiring from the Republican, howev-
er, he does not leave the editorial field, but
will at once assume the charge of another
paper, and he sincerely hopes, that though
separated by State lines, he may still main,
tain constant intercourse with his friends

JAIL BURNT.-The Jail at Wedowee,
Randolph county was burnt down on the
morning OF the 28th, of October, by pris-
oner named John E. Smith, and his accom-
plices outside. An attempt was also made
to burn the court house, but failed. The
Office of the circuit clerk was also broken in
to, and all the indictments stolen, the State
docket, and many papers in civil cases. 1t
was great pity that Smith was not burnt
up too, for he was great scoundrel. He
was in Jail on account Of an unsatisfed judg-
ment obtained against him for abusing his
wife, and also to answer an Indictment a.
gainst him for perjury.

The Home Journal.

The Home Journal is one of the few news
papers of the country says the Chicago,
"Gem of the Prairie" that is never taken
up without real profit, and never missed
without so mnch dead loss. 1t furnishes a
style of reading and class of information
that can be gotten no where else. If a per-
son takes the n. Y. Times, he can jog on
very comfortably through life without the
N. Y. Tribune-or if he reads the Chicago
Tribune, he will be lin town without read
ing the Democrat-but he who tries to get
on without the Home Journal, plods along
with one shoe oF-a loss not supplied by
the fact of his having the other shoe on
Morris and Willis furnish just those eriti-
cisms on art and music, those choice selec-
tons from the best writer's, and those insight
ings' into the heart of society which no Other
editors can, or at any rate, which no Others

The Slave Case.

We publish in another column, the sound,
practical, iudicious remarks, made by the
editor of the New York Journal of Com
mcrcc, in advance of the decision of Judge
Paine in this case; a case which has Justly
been characterized by one of our contempt
raries, (the Baltimore American as " the
most important that has ever arisen out Of
the relations existing between the slave and
free States" and as involving "points that
have never been adjudicated before" The
consequence that must flow from this decis-
ION, If 1t be established as a precedent, are
beyond the conception of any living man.
Thousands Of slaves are annually transpor-
ted by steamboats, from Louisville T. +ic
lower country, and the boato fnTariaDiy
touch at q number of pa&aeS on the Indiana
and Tl,;,ois Luz. We have never yet
boorI .,ll instance in which an attempt was
made to disturb the owners right to his
property, probably from the want of State
laws, to render such disturbance available.
But if the decision of Judge Paine be es.
tablished as precedent, the necessary enact
ment will not long be wanting Whenever
therefore, a steamer, plying from Louisville
to New Orleans, or any other point, with
slaves on board, shall touch, for any rsrpose
whatever, at any of the points al to-
the owner will at once be dive bis
rights, and if he carry on his g
destination, lays himself liabl
ton for kidnapping .-Richm

Curious, but not Agreeable.

The author of" Pictures of Travels in the
South of France" makes the following
unique reflections on the subject Of machine
ry 81 have no sympathy. The action Of
machines of great power terrihes me by its
impassibility. There are some, above all
employed for beating out metals, which do
so to an alarming extent. Whatever these
may seize between their iron teeth, once
seized, the thing must pass through hole
more or less great, towards which all iahri-
cable substances are conducted. OF what
ever size the thing may be when 1t goes in,
let it be beam Of the greatest thickness, it
will come out stretched into knitting needle
of the greatest finess. As for the machine,
tt merely turns-that is its business and its
duty-and it matters not to It what the sub
stance may be which it has TO crush and
draw out. You offer it an iron bar-ihe
monster draws it to himself and deyours i.
You don't take your hand back quickly
enough-the machine pinches the end of
your finger, and all is over. You may cry
out, but if there be no workman present with
hatchet to cut your wrist off, after the
finger comes the hand, after the hand the
arm, after the arm the head, after the head
the body Shrieks, oaths, prayers, nothing
will avail you. The shortest plan for your
friends or family is to look out for you on the
other side Of the machine. You went in a
man, you come out a wire. In five minutes
you have grown two hundred feet. 1t is
curious, but not agreeable"
