Louis NAPOLEON AS AN AUTHoR.-The long
promised "Life of Caesar" by Louis Napo-
leon, is completed and about to be published.
The London papers publish translation of
the preface and some extracts from the main
body of the work. The following extract
from the preface is supposed to be the key
note of what follows:
"That which precedes sufficient
ly indicates the object have proposed to
myself in writing this history. That object
is tn prove that when Providence raises up
such men as Caesar, Charlemagne and Napo-
leon, it is to trace out to nations the path
they ought to follow, to stamp the new era
with the seal of their genius, and to accom-
plish in few years the work of centuries.
Happy the nations who comprehend and fol-
low them Woe to those who misunderstood
and resist theml They act like the Jews;
they cruelty their Messiah. They are blind
and guilty-blind, for they see not the impo-
tence of their efforts to suspend the final
triumph of good; guilty, for they only retard
its progress by impeding its prompt and fer
tile application.
ain fact, neither the assassination of Caesar
nor the imprisonment of ST. Helena could de-
stroy beyond revival two popular causes over
thrown by league Disgusting itself with the
mask of liberty. Brutus, by killing Cesar,
plunged Rome into the horrors of civil war
he did not prevent the reign of Augustus,
but he rendered possible those of Nero and
Caligula. Nor has the ostracism of Napoleon,
by conspiring Europe, prevented the resusc-
tation of the Empire, and yet how distant
are we from that solution of great questions,
from the appeased passions, from the iegiti-
mate satisfaction given to nations by the
first Empire"
Throughout the book, it is reported, the
author constantly seeks to suggest parallel
ism between CESAR and the first NAPOLEON,
and the establishment of the Empire under
AUGUSTUS and of the French Empire under
himself 1t is, in brief, an elaborate promul-
cation and defence of Imperialism.

RICHMoND.-The Times Washington special
says: "Deserters bring the report that the
evacuation of Richmond is spoken of openly
as an inevitable necessity since tlIe destruc'
tion nf tho Janos Rivor Canal. The wealthy
we're removing themselves and effects to
such parts of the State as they thought
would remain unmolested. With the canal
gone it was impossible to feed the citizens
and army"
The Iri6une's Washington special gives the
report of Richmond grocer who left the city
ON the 18th:
"The rebel authorities, in anticipation of
an early attack by Grant, were placing in the
trenches every man and boy capable of hand
ling musket. The government records had
been packed up preparatory to removal
Famine prices were demanded by those who
had produce to sell. There was great suf-
fering among the poorer classes, many of
whom were actually starving. The prices of
everything had more than doubled since
