voted unanimously not to receive the

thousand Russians manned those batteries.
Ney. taking with him but eight thousand
troops, plunged into the densest masses of
the foe, drove them before him and took six
thousand prisoners.
Through the long hours of winters
night, this horrid scene of tumult and car
mage continued. Thousands were crowded
from the bridges into the icy stream, and
sank with shrieks which rose above the
thunders of the battle. A fearful tempest
arose, of wind and smotheripg snow. The

REM1N1s cENcEs OF THE EXPRESS BUSINESS.
The Rochester Express publishes an in
teresting chapter of "reminiscences, derived
from George e. Pomeroy, Esq, who was
the originator of the Express business. The
1st of June last was the 21st anniversary Of
the day when Mr.. Pomeroy left Albany for
his trip to Buffalo. as an Express agent and
messenger. His whole paraphernalia and
luggage were a carpet bag and one small
trunk, the material beginnings of the Ex-
press business in that State. George E. Pom
eroy was himself the company, its sole agent
and trusted messenger. The Central Rail-
road line was not then consolidated. and the
roads themselves were far from being con-.
tinuous, solid and well equipped railways
that they are now; it was q matter of more
difficulty to negotiate for transit of freight
with several independent companies, and for
carrying it from the various termini of rail-
way by stage or other conveyance; and the
trip from Albany to Buffalo consumed thir-
ty-six hours. zE ~

GRAND WoRDs.-The following ringing
sentences are from the conclusion of late
sermon by Henry Ward Beecher:
81 am not a prophet. I am not sanguine,
though hopeful. l think victory awaits us
at every step; but if God thinks liberty too
dear to be purchased so cheaply, we can
give more. We can give more sons, more
trsasure-we will give everything-but this
country shall be one, and undivided. The
Atlantic and Pacific shall say it-deep an
swering to deep.
Hear it, EngIand-one people one Con-
stitution, one Government, one God, one
country, one flag. one destiny-cost what it
may, we will have it. LIE: God name the
price, and it shall be paid.
