BLUcHER-Here is picture of General
Blucher, the antagonist of Napoleon, by one
of his Hussars:
His great good temper, his simplicity and
nature, as well as the thorough mother-wit
he always displayed, rendered General Won
Blucher an universal favorite of the lower
and middle classes. myself saw him spend
half an hour in assisting peasant whose
cart had been upset, and gave anybody
light or tobacco from his own pouch. He
also managed to get on famously with the
naughty, retiring nobility of Munster. He
pretended not to notice their GOODNESS, and
was merry, unsuspecting and polite toward
all the men, whom he frequently invited to
dinner, and tried to warm their hearts with
his Rhenish. The old Hussar General was
on such occasions, most amiable, an OPEN
hearted soldier, and yet, at the same time, so
crafty that such qualities have rarely been
found united in one man. When he liked,
he could spin the finest diplomatic intriguing
under the mask of the most perfect simplic-
ity, in manner that Talleyrand might have
e6vied. He had, too the gift of language,
especially over a glass of wine, and proposed
witty improVised toasts which persons did
not expect from an Hussar. When he liked,
he could be very amiable to ladies of rank,
and display chivalrous and winning gallan-
try still be did not like their society, as a
rule, or the restraint it placed on him.

EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION - TUo
Thousand German Women in CouaciL.-A
meeting of wives of German volunteers was
held in Harmony Hall, on Seventh.street,
between Park avenue and Rutgers street,
last evening, for the purpose of inducing the
Government to pay the volunteers now in
service. 1t is stated that, since these volun-
teers enlisted in August last, they have re-.
ceived no pay, and that in consequence their
families, to great extent, in this city are
now actually suffering for food end clothing.
There were at least two thousand women in
attendance at the meeting last evening.
Harmony Hall is tolerably cOmmodious, but
every inch of space was occupied, and the
women were literally packed together-an
undertaking not very difficult, considering
that they wore no crinoline There were
but three representatives of the sterner sex
in the hall-two being reporters for the Ger
man papers-snd there were not more than
half dozen men around the doorway lead
ing into the hall. 1t was exclusively fem
mine demonstration.-St. Louis Republican,

The Chicago Tribune says that General
Buel, the new commander of the department
Of Kentucky, has now an army in the field
of at least seventy thousand men, we'll sup
piled and thoroughly organized, and that it
outnumbers the rebel forces in that State by
three to one. When the soldiers that are to
be withdrawn from the abandoned battle
fields of Western Virginia are joined to the
army on Green River, we shall outnumber
even the largest estimate of the rebel force
by four or five to one. The number of these
troops is estimated at twenty thousand, and
the Western States can easily furnish twenty
thousand more within the next ten days
The army under General Halleck that will
be available to operate along down the river,
and still leave his posts behind him well
fortified, is not less than thirty thousand.

OommoroIuI Chance and ChanEe.

O0mmBEGtWh
II is dreadful thing TO become unsettled
thing to recover again. Indeed, 1t seems to
be Just a hazard, and nothing more. You
meet man, for example, you have not en-
countered for many years. You had lost
sight of him altogether. He was formerly
an active, enterprising citizen, occupying a
prominent position; now he Is a complete
wreck: that is very evident. But what stress
Of weather has brought him to this condi-
ton His ship has gone down, perhaps in
the sight ofport. From position and influ-
ence of certain kind, having missed his
footing perhaps by no fault Of his own, he
has fallen clear into the other extreme.
Reader, do not forget this class. Try, if it
be possible, to do something TO relieve those
who belong to it. Remember, if you find in
them any thing to censure and carp at, that
great have been their trials and misfortunes,
and your charity must be proportionably
great. You meet another man whom you
had also lost sight Of When you last saw
him his coat was thresdbare he was strug-
rassed; borrowing money to day, 80 as to re-
turn what he owed for yesterdays debt;
jumping from bog to bog-very soon it
seemed he would be ingulfed. Now, how
quiet and complacent he is; how upembar-
rassed and quite at ease. He has grown
stouter, and taller, and broader. His face is
fuller, and his complexion finer. You no
longer see any restlessuess of the eye, any
perturbation in the countenance. He wears
gloves, and he takes one off with an JUNCTION
as he shakes your hand. The first individual
avoided you, this one evidently courts your
recognition. It is plain he has weathered
the storm and got safe into the harbor. But
it might have been the other man who wealth
cred it, and this who went down. Rejoice,
therefore, with the one who is snug and safe
in fair haven, and lend a helping hand, if
you can, to the one struggling among the
breakers.

THE ENEMY's WHEREABoUTs.-As we sup
posed, it turns out that all the advancing"
from Springfield by General Price, since the
evacuation of the Southwest by the Union
army, has been confined to few squads and
detachmeHts, sent out on foraging and scout
ing expeditions. There has been nothing
having the appearance of march upon our
lines with the view S OF giving BATTLE battle and all
or Jefferson City have been without any ade-
quate foundation. The enemy has not made
his appearance in force at any point above
Springfield, and the statement about large
body Of Prices men having crossed the Usage
at Osceols, last week, seems to have been
premature.-St. Louis Republican, 30th.

GETTING WEDDING CoAT.-Among the
anecdotes related by DR.. Bushnell, in his
sermon at Litch6eld, illustrative Of the age
of homespuu, was this;
One of the aged diVines Of that county,
still living, was married during the Reyolu-
ton, but under singular difficulties. There
was an obstacle to the wedding which
seemed insnrmOuntable. He had no we'd
ding coat, nor was wool to be .lad to make
one, and it was in the dead Of winter. Yet
all parties were ready, and he was anxious
to be married without delay. At last the
mother Of the intended bride discovered the
difficulty, and promptly had some of her
sneep shorn and ssl0sd up in blankets 10 keep
Them warm, while Of the wool she spun ahd
WoVe coat for her intended SON in law.

TIE BEELING IN CUBA.-A correspondent Of
the Boston Daily Advertiser, writing from Ha-
vana under date of November 10, says:
As to the state of feeling 10 this region, Gu
bans in general sympathize, as is well known,
with the South. The more intelligent on board
ship prOfessed their regret at the unhappy con-
test now wagiDg, and also professed sorrow
that there should be those who, though they
had been provoked, should be willing to devote
to destruction so fine fabric as the Union. But
msny were Of the opinion that though num-
bers were on the side of the North, yet the
South has energy and determination and
unity of sentiment. There were those how
ever, who professed already to see the North
prove itself no match for Southern arms, and
to look forward to an indefinitely prolonged
struggle, with no final result but in a recogni-
tion of the Confederacy.
There are those here who openly speak Of the
tables being turned, and of an aggressive
South, and of just retribution and reparation
at the hands of the conquered. The language
Of some is excessively bitter. l now speak Of
our countrymen, and man fears almost to
express Union sentiments, as he will provoke
any thing but an agreeable conversation. 1
have heard it several times sta ed that there
are three Confederate ships at Matanzas with
their flags, that ships arrive and depart for
Southern ports, and q Cuban friend of mine
told me to-day that q friend of his from the
South met him this morning and wished him
to go about with him and interpret, as he was
buying arms for the Confederacy. Il is said
also, that commanders have gone to Europe to
take command of a navy prepared for them
there, and that the blockade is constantly
svaded. The cause of the Union suffers terri
bly, here, and has been much effected by the
reveIses it has xpsrienced. Ifit is here thought
that the South is gradually getting the upper
hand, this idea will speedily communicate itself
TO foreign countries. The Nerth must put forth
all her energies.

slavery ana the Kentucky Legislature.

Slavery and the Kentucky Legislature.
Tho New York Times Of Friday, after copy
ing the indorsement Of the Frankfort (Ky.)
Commonwealth Of JoHK oooHRASE's proposal to
arm the negro slaves, says;
"This is only one of the many indications
that this question Of slavery, in its relations to
the rebellion, may, for the present, ~ least, be
wisely and safely left to the action Of the
loyal slave States most directly concerned.
We mentioned yesterday fact, which we have
learned from the very highest authority, that
a bill will speedily be introduced into the Ken
tucky Legislature for the coDfscation Of the
property Of rebels, including slaves; and that
there is every reason to believe that IL will be-
come a law. Once thoroughly enlisted in the
6ght for the Union, the people Of Kentucky
will take such steps as will best promote their
cause. They have far more at stake than we.
The war, with all its horrors, comes much
closer home to them than il does to us. Brother
there is armed against brother-father against
son-neighbor against neighbor. In such
war, where defeat involves utter and irretriev-
able ruin, we need have no fear that Union
men will neglect any weapon which can give
them aid. If striking at slavery will help
them, they will strike the blow. They know,
moreover, ,ohen to strike and tohere to strike
much better than we do"
