insonciance which large fortune can bestow, and
il was not until called from his life Of dissipation
to attend upon the dying bed of his mother that he
learned the secret Of his birth. Immediately, not
wihstanding the accession Of fortune suddenly
acquired by his mothers death, notwithstanding
the habit Of idleness and luxury he had INDUCED
in ever since his BIRTH he declared that, with such
blood in his veins, he should scorn TO remain in.

unteer in the Chassenrs and has risen by slow
degrees to the station he now occupies. The
moral effect of his relationship TO the great Napo.
icon has been immense upon the troops under his
command, and enabled him TO obtain an ascen-
dancy which st. Arnaud could never acquire.

SPEECH OF MIR. WISE IN PETERS,
BURG.
The South Side Dem0cY1f of the 10Th in sta Mt


The South Side Democrat of the 18th instant,
says
"Less than an hour before sunset, Wednes-
day evening, Mr. Wise arrived in Petersburg,
and determined to address the people that
night. His friends were exceedingly appre.
hensive that the briefness of the notice was
such as to preclude the possibility Of assem-
bling such an audience as was due the speaker,
the subject and the occasion. But as the hour
approached, it became evident that the news
had spread like a Scotch slogan, each man
telling his neighbor, Mr.. Wise is here, and will
speak tonight
ITO give an adequate idea to one who was
not witness of it, Of the size of the audience,
would be impossible. Every available inch Of
room was thronged, and continued so during
the entire address.
"Of the speech itself we shall say little. To
attempt to sketch it would be unjust to Mr..
Wise as unsatisfactory to our readers and our
selves; suffice it to say he avowed his opinion
upon every cardinal topic of the day, national,
state and sectional, with boldness, vigor,
ability and eloquence, which we are free to say
we have never heard equaled
"Coming before the people as the accredited
nominee of the Convention, he disdained to
waste time in defending his Democracy, but
plunged at once into his subject.
without one trick Of tongue, he held the
largest audience we have ever seen assembled
in Petersburg, enchanted, captivated, for three
hours and a half and men forgot to applaud,
or were unwilling to break, by any act OF
theirs, the golden links of eloquence that
bound them.
