LOUIS NAPoLEoN.--How astonishing il
seems now, that when Louis Napoleon liv.
ed in England, Of the many intelligent
Englishmen to whom he was wellknown,
there was but one, Sir Robert Peel, who
considered him man Of more than ordina-
ry talent. One would think that. such
man as he has proved himself since his ac-
cession to power in France, must have
impressed every one who came in contact
with him with profound sense Of his su-
peror ability. That he is the greatest
statesman and ablest ruler of the old world,
seems now to be the universal opinion Of
all Europe yet he had lived to middle age
and no one discovered a spark Of genius in
him, till he emerged from obscurity. Un-
doubtedly, he is great man, the master
mind of Europe, and, aided by the English
alliance, is capable fot making greater
changes in the map Of the continent than
were achieved even by his luxurious uncle
Nay, England herself, but for the blue
water that rolls between and the "walls OF
oak" that float upon the wave, would be
completely at the mercy of the nephew Of
Napoleon. The present war has destroyed
the prestige" OF the British army in the
eyes OF France and Of the world. It has
inspired the French sodiery with perfect
contempt Of England as a military power,
and soothed the pride which had been
wounded and bleeding since the downfall
Of Napoleon. Without drawing the sword
against her ancient foo, France, under the
second Napoleon, has amply retrieved the
,arnished laur-ls Of Waterloo.-Rchmond

destruction Of tbs crops, and causing great
suffering among the inhabitants of the in
terror, who have not been able in many in
stances, to raise enough to supply food
for their families. The lnundation has al
so generated disease of various kinds, par.
ticularly fever and ague, and bilious anc
typhoid fsvers. Our friend, who has late
ly visited several towns in the interior Of
the State, remarks that sickness prevails to
an alarming extent in these towns, and is
reported to be as prevalent in others. In
many families all the members were pros
trated with sickness. he country tav-
erns, are, in many cases, uaable to provide
for their guests, from the fact that the land.
lord and all his family are completely dis
abled. Physicians and Apothecsries are
engaged night and day.
Even cattle and swine are effected by
disease. The limbs of the cattle become
so weakened by the strange disorder by
which they are attacked, that il becomes
necessary to carry them in drsgs from
