The Emperor Nap he would be off
On a summer excursion to Moscow;
The fields were green and the sky was blue,
Mor5leu. Parbleu
What pleasant excursion it is to Moscow.
Four hundred thousand men and more
Must go with him to Moscow
There were Marshals by dozens
And Dukes by the score;
While the fields were green, and the sky was
blue,
Morbleui Parbleu
What pleasant excursion to Moscow
There was Junot and Angereau
Heigh no for Moscow
Dombrowsky and Poniatowsky;
General Rapp and Emperor Nap;
Nothing would do,
While the fields were SO green, and the sky so
blue,
Morbleu Parbleu!
But they must go marching to Moscow!
But the the Russians they stoutly turned.to,
Upon the road to Moscow;
Nap had to fight his way all through
They could fight, though they could not palez
vous.
But the fields were green, and the sky was blue,
Morbleu Parbleu!
And so lie got to Moscow.
He found the place too hot for him,
For they set fire to Moscow.
There was Tormazow and Jemalow,
And all the rest that end in ow;
Milracodovich and Jalodovich,
Aud Kractehowktitch,
And all the rest that end in itch
Schamscehof Soucosanof,
And Schepalof
And all the rest that end in off.
Wisiltchkoff, Kostomalof,
And Tchoglokoff,
And all the others that end in off,
Rajensky, Novereffsky,
And Rieffsky,
And all the others that end in effsky;
Coharoffsky and Rostofsky,
And all the others that end in offsky;
And Platoff he played them off.
And Shouvaloff he sho, eled them off,
And Markotf he marked them off,
And krossnoff he crossed them off,
And Tuchkoff he touched them off,
And Boroskoff he bored them off,
And Kutonkoff he cut them off,
And Parenzof he pared them off,
And Woronzof he worried them off,
And Doctorotf he doctored them off,
And Rodionof he logged them off,
And, last of all, an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,
name which you all know by sight very well
But which no one can speak and no one cal
spell;
They stuck close to Nap with all their might
They were the left and ON the right,
Behind and before, and by day and by night
He would rather parlez yous than fight;
But parlez yous nc more would do,
For they remember Moscow.
And then came on the frost and snow,
All on the road from Moscow.
The fields were SO white, and the sky s.
blue,
Sacrebeu | Ventrebleu
What terrible journey from Moscow.
The devil takes the hindmost, quoth Nap,
All on the road from Moscow
For he thought it small delight
To fight all day and freeze all night
And so, not knowing what else to do,
When the fields were SO white, and the sky 81
blue,
Morbleu Parbleul
He stole away, tell you true,
All on the way from Moscow.
1t was much too cold upon the road
As it was too hot in Moscow
But there is place which he must go to.
Where the fire is red and the birthstone
blue;
Morbleu /! Parbleul
He'll find it hotter than Moscow

THE FLOATING BATTERY.-The New York cor
respondent of the Charleston Mercury writes
Strolling over Hoboken the other day, learn
ed that work is still being prosecuted upon that
immense mystery-the floating battery-com-
menced by the late Commodore Stevens on a
contract with the Government. This enigma
is carefully fenced in from prying scrutiny of the
public; and it is believed that no newspaper re-
porter has ever found his way into the sacred
enclosure. Rumor says that the battery is to be
built exclusively of iron, and that it will be
strong enough to stand the united broadsides of
the English fleet, among which it will glide at
pleasure propelled by steam, and pour out its
death volleys from hundreds of portfolios. This
battery has already been seven years or eight
years in progress of construction; nearly mil
lion of dollars have been spent upon it, and it is
nowhere near completion. 1t is intended to be
the principal defence of the harbor.

LANE AND RoBINsoN.-These Black Republican
WORTHLESS, of Kansas, are quarrellng and expos
ing each others rascality. In published card
Lane calls Robinson all sorts of hard names and
says he holds himself " responsible" Robinson
replies;
&C | shall not challenge him until | can rid
myself of the conviction hat he (Lane) deliber-
ately planned and executed the murder of Jen-
kins, and suborned one or more witnesses to
perjure themselves in his defence and until
know that Redpath lied when he said General
Lane intimated to him that if General Denver
challenged him, he would have him put out of
the way by the secret order known as the Dam
ties"
Lane appears to be a most cowardly villain,
and Robinson bat little better. Robinson was
formerly State Senator from the Sacramento
district In the squatter riot in that city, in 1885,
he was an active participant, and, if we mis-
take not, was severely wounded.

Napoleon's March to Moscow.

The following very singular production, says
writer, was originally published in the Lon
don Times in 1872 and is one of the greatest
curiosities of construction in the language. The
oddly of the poemis greatly enhanced by the fact
that the unpronouncable Russian names which
figure in it were really those of persons who

 It is said that about three hundred of the American portion of the Bell and Ev- erett party in Baltimore, on Thursday night, the 1lth inst, marched to the Lin eoln headquarters and joined that party.-- This was in consequence of the election of the reform ticket in Baltimore, which de- stroyed the rule of the so-called American clubs in that city The result of this will be to increase Breekinridge's plurality in the State.

The Last Gun of the Campaign.

On Friday. and Saturday night last, the Bell men put forth every effort for a final demonstration. Their best orator, Col. Fellows of Ouachita, made labored and splendid effort three hours in length, and 1t is due to him to say that we have heard no superior to him among the speakers of the State. His rhetorical climaxes are in deed dazzling, his speeches sparkle with wit, and if not a strict logieian, he is at least apt in the art of evasion, and can make as much out of bad cause as any other man. 97Rf vr}na13 s; 9o r4f. t.5 a dThe first charge hieh we have-to prefer against Col. Fellows and his party is the want of sincerity. Splendid declamation am cunts to nothing beyond the m momcntary thrill of pleasure that it affords, if it be em-
 ployed to cover up the precious jewels of truth, or vail the real dangers that sleep beneath ensnaring roses. Col Fellows speech opened with few vague charges against the democratic party--the substance
 of which was that the brave democracy | which has so long stood up unfinchingly
 for the constitutional rights of the whole country, has nursed into life and vigor the
 vandalic hordes of black repubicanism.- = We have heard this charge moreover from other speakers, and we intends to hurl i
 back into the disingenuous face of every
 man, who attempts to pervert the facts of history for party purposes
 | THE BELL PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR ABOLITION PROGRESS.
 1 We epropose to introduce facts to show l what party has contributed to the rapid | growth of black republicanism, and to show l the dangerous tendencies of whig and know
 nothing conservatism. ...r....-... The following comparison of the Presidential vote in the free States in 1859 and 1856, will show | conclusively what party is responsible for the growth of the black republican faction that now
 threatens, by it's sectionalism and fanaticism, to
 destroy the government. It will be seen that while
 the democratic vote in four years increased 65 ,000 in the North the whig and know nothing vote de. creased over 600,000 and the figures in the repub. lcan column for 1856 show where the latter has been transferred. We ask southern voters to ex- anime this table carefully: @ -te' 5-eH,sa

Dropping Douglas in Missouri.

The St. Louis Bulletin of the 17th ult. says. 'Every mail from the interior of the State brings us tho gratifying intelligence that hundreds who have hitherto supported Judge Douglas, are now convinced, since the recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, that the little giant has not the ghost of a chance in single northern State, and those who are not ready to aid Lincoln by voting for Douglas in this State, are dropping into the democratic line every day. tsa s-t V af AAA i. <

Do&9@ do Douglas men propose to do this? By banshing the slavery agitation from Congress-by leaving it to the people of n territory to decide all slavery issues. Does not every sane man see that this would only bring it back to Congress in thousand and one shapes? Remember Kansas. As long as the contest ragged in that territory 1t ragged in Congress. The Douglas doc Urine then, admitting for the sake of argu- ment its constitutionality, would fail beyond all doubt to effect the main object desired.
