General Grimn's Order.

- From the Houston Telegraph, January 27.] !.
The worst e!emy that the Bourbon family ever
encountered rus the great Napoleon. It vas
owing to his mighty genius and gigantic blows
that their rotten thrones crumbiod and tottered
into DUST And yet after his corpse had lam for hf
toen wears beneath the silent willow Of St Helena,
it was one of that fa1nily-Phillip Of Orleans-who
dispatched his own SON the !. prndg c 90 leo ny s
mighty foe Of his house, to be inferred ION TIE
he loved 50 we'll" There was no prohibition OF
the bringing Of BELLS ",,sspopular or public dc,
purchase or art invent was called into being to do
honor to tho General Of the Armies Of France: The
people Aocked from every town and village, thay
carne from tho far-of Provinces OF the; Kingdom
to do homage at the shrine of the great Emperor
The pal-bearers were OF the distinguished soldiers
of the hpi1e-the mourrers were Of the royal
household OF tho reigning family, CHIEF Gmong
whom was tho hoir apparent to the throne. There!
we're ringing of bells-fring Of cannon. 4e Deatn1s
we're chaunted from Notre Dune to the Hospice OF
st. Bernard. Cardinals in purple: and IA Monks N
had clung to the memory Of the Titan soldier, who
had followed him through tho burning sands Of
Egypt-the sunny plains Of Italy-the marshes Of
Holland, and the snows of Russia; and who would
have sulIenly died rather than have acknowledged
q bow from Bourbon, could but bless the name
of the noble acitizen Kingn who had thus boldly
done honor to the founder Of the opposition dy-
nasty: As many as were the great, acts OF Louis
Philippe-and he did more than any King OF France
had done for centnries-none SO endeared him to
the French people as this sublime act OF courtesy
to the remains of their great idol.
It was left for this day and this hour to exhibit
people who boast of their Iberties-of their Hee-
dom-of their republican form Of government, to
creep hyena like into the sncred precincts OF the
tomb and desecrate the dead body Of as great an
enemy as was the Napoleon to France. When
Beast Butler tore open tho metallic case enclosing
the remains Of Albert Sidney Johnston to despoli
The mighty dust therein Of any simple ornament
which the hand of affection might have placed
there, he received for it the condemnation OF tho
civilized world. Yesterday, ono year and naR
after tho sound of the last musket had ceased to
reverberate over the battle-felds Of the country,
when the wrinlIed front of war had been entirely
suoothed, and great and heroic people have LAIN
down their arms and ardonty wish for entire quiet
and peace; whom that people wish to remove from
q cemetery in distant State to one prepared IN
this the remains Of one Of her lovod and honored
citizens, and in the removal Of those remains wish
to string bell" or form q procession" to DO
honor to TINT gallant dead-comes an order from
ono {who in that order writes himself down to oil
postsrity as fit companion to the Beast Of LowelD
prohibiting any public demonstration" at the
funeral ceremonies of General Albert Sidney john
ston.
Louis Philippe, Of Orleans, King Of the French,
although of family noted for it's imbeciity, it's
effete physique, and its many crimes, yet vas OF
gentle blood, and Of knightly race that never did
a1 act that could call the blush OF shame to their
check. It needed q Yankee General, by the name
of Griffin, to give the finishing touch to the lcng
list of outragcs that hnye shocked al Chrstendom
for the last Ave yoars by order prohibiting that
most sacred OF all rights-the right of proper sep
ulture to the dead.
