IsrEREsr1Se AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF BoS,

INTERESTING AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF BONA
PARTE.-The editor of the New York Albion
writes thus from Geneva;
Strolling, the other day, intoa a booksellers
shop, my eye was caught by an autograph
letter framed under glass, and hung up in a
conspicuous place. 1t would be treasure in
any collection, being written by the great
Napoleon when, at the age Of seventeen
C786l he was a Lieutenant of artillery sta
toned at Valence in Dauphiny when he
spelt his name with (Buonapartes and
when he wrote fairly legible hand Not
that mere autograph, did emanate from
Alexander the Great himself, would be an
object of any very great interest to me- The
real worth of these memorials lies in the
nature of their contents. In this case-not
to make long story of 1.-THE embryo en-
peror begs the bookseller to send him The
life Of Madame de Warens and Claude Anet,
as sequelsays he, to- The Confessions of j.
j. Rousseau. He DESIRES also, TO have
another volume of certain history of the
Revolutions in Corsica My readers may
speculate at their good pleasure on the senti-
mentality evinced in the one requirement,
and the limited range in the other.

A LARGE CONVENTION oE ToADs.-A gen.
tleman who witnessed the sight informs the
Lowell (Mass.) Courier that about ten days
ago, along one Of the main roads near Forge
Village, in Westford, he observed the most
marvellous collection of toads he ever wit
messed or heard Of In the road for as many
as 100 rods the ground was 80 covered
with them that one could not put his hand
down without putting il on toad. An esti-
mate was made, and II was determined that
there were at least twelve toads TO the square
foot. The sides Of the road and fields were
not examined, but for the distance we have
named there were toads innumerabe An
other fact not a little singular is that they
were all apparently the same size--being
color and appearance seemed TO be precisely
alike, and all were sprightly and seemed as Il
very much at home. The question is, where
did they come from? 1af

Pryor on Buchanan.

In the House of Representatives on Thursday
there occurred the following dscussion:
Mr.. Vallandingham spoke in favor of public
printing Office
Mr.. Pryor spoke in the same way, and complained
that the President neglected his duty in not in-
forming Congress that the amount appropriated for
Post-ofice blanks was excessive instead of parcel
ing out the surplus among partizan presses.
running debate ensued between him and Mr.
Burnett, in which the latter maintained that the
President had no control of the matter and that it
was the duty OF Congress to correct any corruption
Mr.. Pryor in the course of his remarks, said that
the evidence was unconroverted that the President
said to the gentlemen who executed the blanks;-
" Here is $4,000 for your services and here is
$4,000 to be distributed between the Pennsylvania
Argus and Medary's newspaper in Ohio'
Mr. Burnett said that if such testimony existed
he had not seen it. He did not, however, question
it, for he knew nothing about it. lie then argued
against the government offices and in favor Of
duoing the present rates of printing
Mr. Florence was in favor Of the establishment of
a government printing office, the contract system
having proved failure and because it would rem
der the business independent Of the corruption at
tached to it.
Mr. Burnett expressed the hope that Mr.. Pryor,
the next time he charged corruption upon the Ad-
mnistration, would be better informed to facts.
Mr. PRYOR acknowledged his indebtedness for the
l4tA tHt llOuSS anu
him chairman aud be viii prove what he said
Mr.. Burnett Slid that if the gentleman accused
the President he would vote for another committee
If corruption exists let him be arraigned impeached
and disgraced. If the gentlemen desired to show
their zeal il would be better for them 10 fire broad
sides at the Republican party instead of getting up
family quarrels.
Mr. Pryor said he was fighting on his own indi-
vdual responsibility and in deense Of the interests
of the people. He conceived it sound policy that
the Democratic party should wash their hands of
all corruption.
After further discussion, Mr.. Haskin, closed the
debate contending that the President knew of the
profits OF the Post-ofiice printing and stating that
he would vote against all schemes Of extravagance
and corruption, coming from either Democrats or
Republicans.
! The bill for the establishment of government
printing house passed--yeas 100, nays So.
Mr.. Pryor made personal explanation. In say
ing he had been approached he should have stated
that in 1857 he was solicited 20 apply for portion
of the surplus fund.- but he indignantly refused the
proposition

TRIBUTE TO Mr.. EvERETT.--Tho Wash
ington correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune, concludes recent letter TO that
paper, with the following tribute TO Mr..
Everett
"Mr Everett, in his diplomatic career,
shed lustre upon this country. His answer
while Secretary of State, to the three powers;
France, Spain and England, upon the Gu
ban question, was matchless, and remains
unanswered. The Democratic Review hail
ed that splended paper as the best that ev-
er appeared from the State Department.
Douglas said that if Everett had done
nothing else to render hisadministration of
the State Department illustrious, his name
would live in all coming time in that di-
plomatic letter, as one who could appreciate
the spirit of the age, and perceive the des-
tiny of the nation

II was wonderful to see how that name

yelling as battle cry, down the shadows

on, and tracks the way with his blood.

they see the circle around the fallen man,
even see his pale face uplified as smile
crosses its fading linements, and like

the rocks, and charge the devoted band
with one dense mass of bayonots

round
At last they feachedthe light the swords
and bayonets glitter in sight Of the con-
tending armies, and the bloody contest
roars towards the topmost rock.
Then it was that gathering up his dying
frame--armed with supernatural vigor--
young Clay started from the arms of his
supporters, and stood with outstreached
hands in the light of the sun. 1t was
