DEATH OF MARSHAL REILLE.-The
last arrival from Europe brings us intelli-
gence of the death of one of the few re-
naming officers who served under the first
Napoleon Marshal Reille, who was among
the most prominent men of the wars OF
the first Empire He was born on the lst
of September, l775, at Antilles in the
department of War, in the southern part
of France, aud entered the army when
seventeen years old, as a second lieuten-
ant. He was soon after appointed aide
de camp to General Massena, and took
part in the seigc of Toulon, and in the
battles of Lodi, Rivoli, the Brenta, Ar
cole and Belluno. He subsequently fought
in Germany, and performed adelicate SER
vice in conveying dispatches from Bona
parte to Nassena, during the scige of Genoa.
Under Murat he was appointed Governor
OF Florence. He served in the battle of
Jena, and his bravery in resisting the
Russians at Ostrolenka secured him the
post of aide-dc-camp to the Emperor Ma
poleon. Reille subsequently served in
Spain, and when peace was restored, he
married the daughter of Massena After
the return of Napoleon from EIba he was
created peer OF France, and again enter
ed active service. At the memorable
battle of Waterloo he commanded the sec
ond corps, and had under his orders Jerome
Bonaparte, who commanded DIVISION
On the downfall of Napoleon, Reille man
aged to maintain friendly relations with
his successors in 1S47 Louis Philipne
made hlm Marshal of France, and he was.
from 1897 to the time of his death. a SEN
ator OF France. By the death of Marshal
Relile, Jerome Bonaparte is the oldest
living Marshal of France.

Mr.. EDITOR Il take the liberty of
sending you the following extract from q

The Investigating Com mittee.

The New York Times correspondent
SAYS :-"There are facts connected with
the proceedings of the committee which
have not yet been made public The
committee agreed, soon after it commenced
Its sessions, that inasmuch as the evidence
would probably reflect dishonorably upon
the President, before the evidence should
be closed, or report made upon it, trans
cript of all the testimony should be sub
mitted to Mr.. Buchanan, that he might
have the opportunity to take such action
upon it, or make such explanations, as he
saw IT. This was done The President
never complained or filed protest until he
discovered that the committee had such
evidence as would reflect lasting disgrace
upon him, and ruin the party of which he
is the head. l am assured by one who
knows all the evidence ia the case, that
these are facts, and ths. tho charges sub
stantiated by the testimony before Mr..
Covode's committee are most conclusive of
the knowledge of the President of gross
and shameful frauds

What pride tinged the cheeks of "we," as
that chaotic mass took shape and mould of

might be questioned as to whether there

speeches pro and con from heaviest
spokes.) At length it was settled-"we"
were ''some"
Now they came to choose the "readers."
Here was sad fix. OF those that there
could read, some had, as a doctor friend of
mine remarks, "awful did-up grate-bars,"
which, protruding from their gums, looked
like nails set in sirloin-'they couldn't
read" Then came those whose large and
roomy oritices spoke of pastry and pud-
dings, rather than of a page from profane
or holy lore-'they couldn't read" x
A half an hour was now allowed to do
up "small talk" and list to that which,
It's said, soothes the hearts of savages. In
this case it wouldn't do. Mutilated music
and "nary'' word to say put the members
to shaking ladies' names within greasy
hat, much to the discontinue of prior in
mates. (Were the author there, he'd
have held the hat) In this drawing"
creations lords were oftentimes drawn in
Suffice it now to say, the wheel was
moving on, until one gloomy night" it
was stopped by a remorseless poet. He
did it with single page of Hiawatha-
Awful fellow was this po;c: he buckled in
so savagely that all ''Inglesde" was in an
uproar. Coats in style of cutaway, with
their excited contents, flew hither and
thither, or "fell mad" But at length the
storm blew over, and ''the vessel with its
torn and tattcred sails .smoved On again"
All things, however, must have an end
-"Cireles' not excepted, Even the great
circle upon which this is being penned
(but the reflex of 'Ingleside") must, we
are told, end in a pyramid of dust and
ashes. ''Iugleside," 'born with breath

that were. You, reader, may imae inc the

demise Of an institution productive of SO

A BOnbshell.

The Covode-investigating Committee in
the National House Of Representatives,
appears to have carried confusion and dis
may into the ranks Of the Democratic par
ty. The papers have taken up the cry of
Shame! and even old Jimmy himself begs
consideration for his gray hairs, and long
services. The Committee have, however,
not faltered in their work, and their report
will only show what has long been known
that the immense patronage of the Gov
ernment has been dishonesty used for
partizan purposes by the present Chief
Executive
Jas. Buchanan himself, made the charge
in his Centennial letter, that money had
been used in Pennsylvania and other States,
to influence the elections of 1858; and
Representatives who were elected that
year, and particularly those from this State,
owe it to themselves and their constituents
to give him an opportunity of proving
what he has so publicly asserted If, in
the investigation, some unpleasant facts
for the administration should be developed
Mr.. Buchanan has himself to blame. He
appears to have pursued the plan of crying
"stop thief" but it has resulted only in
attracting attention to himself.
