Brown then laid down again, drew his blanket
over him, and appeared to sink into tranquil
sumber.
Mr.. Hoyt, Browns counsel from Boston, asked
for an adjournment till morning, ON the ground
that Judge Tilden would probably arrive during
the night, and be able to appear as counsel. He
excused himself from conducting the defense, be-
cause he was not acquainted with the Virginia
criminal code.

BIG ITEM FOR THE NIGGER-sTEALERs-
Macon Express, published in Georgia, says Of
Mr.. Secretary otbs negro slaves:
We have been informed by our worthy Mayor,
o. G. Sparks, Esq, of the firm of Hardeman &
Sparks, of this city, that he has sold the crop of
cotton belonging TO the negroes of Col. John B.
Lamar and Hon. Howell Cobb, to Mr. James
Rea, for 800 6l This is all clear money to
them We are likewise informed that the same
negroes sell sugar cane, syrup, chickens and
eggs, which amount to at least one half as much
mere.
Wouldn't such awfully- distressed, such cruel
ly-treated, such chain-clanked, down-trodden,
scourged, and liberty deprived sons of Africa as
these be a good grab for Cheesedom Under

LOUIS NAPOLEON IN l840-The German pa
pers, which sympathize with Austria in the pre-
sent war, are digging out of the lumber of the
past some of the facts which show Louis Napo-
Icons antecedents and his opinions in earlier
life. The following is one of those reproduced
to prove how valueless his expressed opinions
are : Proclamation Of HIS MAJESTY, the French En-
peror, Napoleon III, on Landing at Bologna.

The Belle louisiana.

Go search beside the Rhine, the Rhonc,
Arno and Guadalquiyer
In many fair and verdur'd land,
By many a stately river;
Go look for eyes all starry bright,
In blonde, or dusk Sultana,
But leave for me her orbs Of light
The Belle of Louisiana
Not Juno in her maiden bloom,
Not Venus with her cestus,
Not all the gods Olympus sent
To dazzle and invest us;
Not all the lips the Prophet saw
Fed with celestial mama,
Can tempt me from my light, my love
The Belle of Louisiana
As a folded rose her lips unclose,
And honeyed tones beset US
Soft as the murmur of the bees
OfHybia and Hymettus
Ho wine of Samia for the fair
From Oman's sen to Banna,
And bumpers to the Queen of Love

NAPOLEON NEARLY MADE PRIsoxER- In his
Visit to the field of battle at Montebello, the EN-
peror Napoleon narrowly escaped being made
prisoner. He had pushed on as far as Casteg-
glo, and was observing with his telescope the
movements of the enemy between Barbianello
and Portico del Stella upon the Pc, when sud
denly detachment of Austrians presented them
selves before him, only two hundred PAGES dis
tant Whether they had lost their way, or
whether they had advanced thus far from nero
hardihood can not be told; but it is probable
that the latter supposition is correct, inasmuch
as the advanced posts of the Austrians are much
more energetic and daring than those OF the
franco-Sardinians. Directly. however, the En-
peror saw them he changed color, threw away
his Cigar, drove the spurs into his horses fanks,
and galloped back to Voghera at pace which
would have done honor to the winner of the
Derby Louis Napoleon has faults, it must be
admitted but that of wantonly exposing his
person to the enemy cannot certainly be num-
bered among them.

How They TREAT WoMES-WHIPPERs IN PARA
GuAy.-Page, in his "Notes on Manners and
Customs in Paraguay" thus speaks OF the pun
ishment Of a {" woman-whipper,' the most de-
testable of monsters, and of whom San Francis
co has full share :--"M Ny attention was at
tracted by the appearance ofa man who waited
on the table during dinner; bis dress was more
that of country gentleman than servant, and
his countenance peculiarly sad and subdued. l
found my eyes continually wandering towards
this individual whose manner disquieted me,
for he moved about heavily, as if his task was
weary one After dinner, the superintendent
asked me if | had observed the waiter. sYes.
What is he--who is he?' The richest man in
Eastern Paraguay. He has very large, we'll
selected estanchia.' And yet is here as q serv-
ant?' yes. He was guilty of tho ungalant
act of whipping woman, and the President has
degraded him to be a servant at the Iron Works.
He will at last liberate himself only by paying a
large sum, or its equivalent in cattle So much
for the rights of woman, and the summary ad-
mnistration Of the law in Paraguay.

BGT Rev. Mr.. Wise, son of Governor Wise, a
young Episcopal clergyman of Richmond, Va,
has so far departed from Episcopal ideas of pro-
priety as to preach without notes. He also dis
cards the priestly habiliments and appears in his
ordinary dress, not even wearing white cravat
to distinguish him from laymen. He talks very
boldly to the shareholders about their religious
duties to their servants.-Atdntic Poper.

DIscovERY.--The Santa Barbara Gazette SAYS
an important local discovery was made by some
hunters the other day, consisting of pass or
road over the mountains near Santa Barbara
They state that the road is now passable on
horseback, and must have been used previously i,
as there are yet fragments of old wagons or car
retas strewn along at intervals. The Gazette has
since learned that the road was made and used
by the Mission Fathers, and that large timber,
&c. were carried over it many years past

Here it will be seen that, in effect, Cen Cass
says that deserters from the armies Of foreign coun
tries, criminals Uho hare escaped from justice, if
they voluntarily return to those countries from
which they deserted, or in which they commit
ed crimes, will still be liable to be punished or
proceeded against according to law, even though
they may in the mean time have become citizens
of the United States. Deserters from foreign coun-
tries and criminals are therefore the only persons
who, if they voluntarily return to their native
countries, run any risk. All other naturalized
citizens are entitled to and will receive the same
protection in foreign countries as native born
citizens. In fact, in the eyes of the American
Government, there is no distinction between ma
tive and adopted citizens. The American flag
waves for one as much as for the other, and
American guns will boom for one as quickly as
for the other.

We then expressed the opinion that this letter
did not declare the doctrine which we had al
ways understood to be the American doctrine.
In that we were right Secretary Cass has since
written another letter on this subject, which
places him in entirely a different position with
reference to the question of naturaized citizens
returning to their native country. Read it:

Secretary Cass and American Citizenship

DEPARTMENT. OF STATE,

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, May II, 1859.
To Mr. Fslir LeClerc, Memphis Tenn:
SIR: Your letter of the 18th inst. has been
received. In reply, have to state that it is un-
derstood that the French Government claims
military service from all natives of France who
may be found within its jurisdiction. Your nat
uraization in this country will not exempt you
from that claim should you voluntarily repair
thither.
The Shasta courier., 1859-07-23
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

WASHINGTON, June l6. {
SIR:-ln answer to your letter of the 9th in
slant, have to inform you that the brief letter
from this Department, to which you refer, dated
the 9Th of May last, and addressed to Felix LIE
Clerc, was in reply to an application for infor-
nation and was principally intended to recon-
mend caution to our naturalized fellow citizens,
natives of France, in returning to that country,
as the operations of the French conscrption law
were not positively known, and might bear in
juriously upon that class of American citizens
Most OF the continental European nations have
system of military organization, by which their
citizens were compelled to serve in the army bv
conscripton,.and not as in France, where the
duty is designated by lot or draft. In Prussia,
every person is required to take his turn as a
soldier.
The condition of American naturalized citi-
zens returning to their native country, where the
system of compulsory service prevails, and who
left before such service has consequently been
the subject of discussion with some of the Euro
pean powers. Quite recently it has risen be-
tween the United States and Prussia, and the
representative of this country at the court of
Berlin has brought the matter to the attention
of the Prussian Government In the instruc-
tions sent to him, May II, 1885, it was explicitly
stated that this Government opposed the doc
| trine of perpetual allegiance, and maintains the
right of expatriation and the right to form new
political ties elsewhere Upon this subject it is
observed, that in this age of the world, the idea
of controlling the citizen in the choice of home,
and binding him, by mere political theory, to
inhabit for lifetime country which he desires
to leave, can hardly be entertained by any Gov
ernment The United States therefore, main
tains the proposition that naturaiized citizens
returning to the country of their birth, not
liable to any duties penalties, ercept such acre
IN eristesce at the period Of their emigration.
If, at the time, they were in the army, or ac-
tually called into it, such emigration and natu-
ralization do not exempt them from the legal
penalty which they incurred by their desertion.
But this penalty may be enforced against them
whenever they shall voluntarily place themselves
within the local jurisdiction of their native
country, and shall be proceeded against accord
ing to law. But when no personal liabilities
existed against them at the period of their emf
grafton, the law of nations, in the opinion OF this
Government, gives no right to any country to
interfere with naturalized American citizens,
and the attempt to do so would be considered
an act unjust in itself, and unfriendly towards
US. Jurisdiction cannot of course arise in the
case of the naturalzed citizen who remains in
the United States. 1t is only when he volunta-
rily returns to his native country that its local
laws can be enforced against him.
