KATRINE's EARLY ADvENTUREs.-A Phila-
delphia paper says: The following story is
good because it is true. We had it from the
lips of a good woman, who was told it by
the principal actor herself:
"Ven | first come to Filadelfy to serve
was very uncivilzed," said Katrine, now
tidy, intelligent servant in a respectable
family. II laugh mooch, and | feel much
ashamed to remember how l behaved ven

theatre one night, when l been in Filadelfy
hut three weeks. We sits in the gallery, and
we not see good. and Sbon say he would get "a
better seat. So he puts his leg,rOund de post
and shlides down mid de pit, and he looks up
and calls out, 'Katrine. Katrine! com down
thish a good view here = aud l loaned over,
and said |, How can COON, Shon ?" And he
said, Just shlide down. So put my Reg
round the pillar. and | shlide down too

of Hon. A. Id. Cros.man.

Ex- Mayor a. ID. Crossman died, yesterday
afternoon. at the residence of his friend, New
ton Richards, E,q. A few years since. Mr.
Crossman had an attack OF paralysis, from
the effects OF which he had apparently recov-
cred. But his general health has been giving
way for some time past, and his decease has
not been sudden or unexpected. Ii is never
th,less a saddening event to announce, for
few men among US, so quiet aud unobtrusive
in manner, had so many warm friends. He
deserved them, Tor sterling qualities of integ-
rity, aud a kind aud gentle disposition. His
personal popularity was tested by an election
and three reflections To the mayoralty OF
this city, in times when party excitement ran
high, and by carrying out of Office the gen.
eral esteem and respect Of the community

Lines 20 mrs. m. r. M.

May guardian angels be thy stay
While thou shalt tread life's thorpy way,
And long may Times rude fingers spare
The flowers that bloom in beauty there.
May gentle Peace thy steps attend,
And sweet conteDtment be thy friend,
And Faith and Hope be ever near
To guide thee to brighter sphere.
Had the power to weave thy destiny
Earth's choicest blessings should be shed on thee;
Lies stormy sea should prove gentle stream,
Even and tranquil infants dream.
No gloomy shadows should Thy way overcast
Thy life should be bright summer to the last;
Ny wish is human-better far for thee
One throned above should rule thy destiny.
Resigned to HN-though earthly gloom may rise,
Res plerdeI glories wait thee IN the skies;
ask 10 more-be this my humble prayer
Sorrow and earth forgot-to meet uee there

MARsEnLEs, May 25.-Detaiied informa-
ton which has been received from the seat of
war relative to the slight artillery action near
Valenza, in which the rihed four-pounders
were first brought into action, has afforded
great satisfaction to military men, and has
quieted many apprehensions, by demonstrate
ing the practical utility and immense superb
erity of the new arm. The range was over
$500 metres, (2.734 yards) upwards of a
mile and half. The accuracy of fire was no
less surprising than the range, and the de-
structiye effect was still more marvellous.
Those who have witnessed the experiments
at Vincennes, when the solid masonary forti-
fcations were shattered by few rounds, and
yards of stone revetment were tumbled down.
were scarcely prepared for the results OBJ
tanned at FaleCZa against earthwOrks. After
five rounds. the Notifications of the Austrians
were reduced to ruins. 1t is believed that
these effect were due mainly TO the long
range and that at short distances the fire
would have been far less destructive, as the
shot would have made clean hole. To un-
derstand fully the advantages of the ri6ed
gun. 1T should be remembered that the Napo-
leon cannon-a light twelye-pounder-ca
not be relied upon for ranges beyond one
thousand yards, and that the infantry rifles
will not carry more than eight hundred yards
with accuracy. The French authorities have
represented to an officer of a foreign army
that they have two hundred of these rified
cannon in Piedmont, and here an artillery
officer said they had twenty batteries or one
hundred and twenty guns. There is good
reason, however, to believe that both state
ments are exaggerated, and had evidence to
day that the resources of France in modern
artillery are exhausted. This morning the
batteries that were embrrked were all smooth
bored guns. l examined one Them and found
to my surprise, that it was an eight-pounder,
cast at Toulouse. November Ia, 1851, and en-
graved with the Republican motto: "Liberte,
Egalite, Fraternite." and near the muZzle
with the name of French victory, BautZen.
This fact speaks volumes, and proves that,
with all the progress which has been made
during the last eight years, and the expendi-
ture during the Russian war to provide speci-
mems of the new arm, the reorganization of
the French artillery is not sufficiently ad-
vanced for great European war. Still it is
believed that in rified guns she possesses a
great superiority over Austria, who is said to
have none with her armies, and only few,
after the Swedish system, in her fortified
towns. Indeed, it is stated here, in military
circles, that If 1t had not been for the superb
or range and accuracy of the four guns which
General Forney opened upon the Austrans
at MontebellO, the result would have been
very different and that the Allies would have
been compelled to give way before the deadly
effects of the Tyrolese rifles, which wounded
the colonies of the four regiments engaged.
and thiiIned the ranks of the officers to an eX-
tent to undeceive many TO the nature of
the content.

courses on the bank question:
''The unconstitutionality of the system ex-
ceeds in principle, at all times, their expedi-
ency. Our motion is not to wind them up"
but let them die out and not charter any
more them For there IS no Democracy IN them:
THEY BELONG TO THE DEVIL, AND ARE HIS BOW

That is the issue rendered TO the people of
Tennessee by the democratic party. Whoev-
err believes that, in the event of success, that
party as a party will take any steps TO per-
petuate a sound aud wholesome system of
mixed specie and paper currency is wofully
mistaken. Some democrats are deluding
themselves with the idea that their party is
not for an exclusive metallic currency. What
thea does such language rs the above imply
Are men to be trusted with the protection Of
institutions which they thus anathemaiize
If their professions are honest and sincere,
how can the friends of sound convertible
bank currency vote with them or for them
And il, on the contrary, they are dishonest
and insincere, they are not dit to be trusted
for anything. In either event they are un-
worthy the support of the people.
