, MARSHAL NEY-A STRANGE STORY OF
HIS EARLY CAREER.-Mr. G. Fl. Browning
contributes to the Round Table curious
narrative concerning the early career of
this famous French soldier, which differs
materially from the current biographies.
According to Mr.. Browning's story, Mar
shall Ney's proper name was Michael Ney.
He was captain in General Wayne's army
in the war with the Indians. His career
was marked by the most daring deeds of
yalor, and he was called among the soldiers
by the last title Napoleon ever gave him
the 'sBravest of the Brave" Captain Mi
chael Rodolph was young and fiery, and
on one occasion, feeling himself insulted
by General Wayne, he challenged him.
General Wayne reported his subordi-
nate conduct to the Government, and
General Washington struck his name
from the army list. Rodolph then
turned his attention to farming on Elk
creek, near Elkton, Md, and possessing
himself of small vessel, he traded in to-
bacco to the West Indies. Such q restless
nature could not be satisfied with 80 prosaic
o pursuit. Having unexpectedly put back
from one of his trips, he found his wife en-
gagged in a suspicious affair with another
man. Without saying word to any one,
he left her and her children in peaceable
possession Of his rival, returned to his yes
sci, made sail, and never returned. g-
NJ. Pinckney, then our Minister in France,
recognized him shortly afterwards, under
his new name, in review in the Champ de
Mars, and Mr.. Browning says " his friends
| in Maryland carry out the theory Of the
identity Of the two men by ,supposing that
Rodolph proceeded to Bordeaux with his
cargo, sold his vessel, established shop,
and retailed his tobacco; and with his
daring military taste and genius, enlisted
/ in the army Of the revolution az common
! soldier, from which his general superiority
and the technical knowledge acquired under
General Wayne soon raised him."
| The wife Of Rodolph married again after
her husbands desertion, and settled in the
obscure town of Brunswick, in Georgia
and it is a noticeable fact that some years
ago young Ney-Count Ney, who was for
some years French charge at Rio de Janeiro,
wellzknown to many officers of our navy
visited the United States, and set out i'm
rnediately after his arrival in New York for
that place. and remained several weeks in
the neighborhood as the guest Of the Ro-
dolph family, who were independent and
respectable farmers, but mot people likely
| to receive o visit from Count Ney under
ordinary circumstances. Altogether, this
| is most romantic story, and Count Ney
| will do the world great service by disclo-
| sing the factsain his possession regarding
It, as MIR. Browning earnestly calls upon
him to do, 49,. =

A Trip I'm the Valley OF Virginia.

Your numerous readers will probably be
interested in a statement of come things
lately Witnessed in q trip up the Valley.
It was midwinter, to be sure; so that did
not meet with the grassy fields upon which
Sophonores are 80 dependent for a visit
from the Muses.; But still some things 1
met with ittmay be worth while to mention.
And first T must speak Of the mode OF
travelling The Manassas railroad enters
the Valley as Manassas Gap, where the
Blue Ridge IL crossed on q very easy grade
without tunpelling, the station OF the foot OF
the mountain sbeing called Linden. Be
tween this and Strasburg the North and
South rivers meet and form the beautiful
Shenandoah. Up the North river we have
the Woodstock Valley, and up the South
river the Page County Valley. Below ths
junction We have the Great Valley Of the
Shenandoah, extending to Harperse Ferry
My route was up the Woodstock Valley
by ran to Hsrrisonburg. The country il
all limestone, the rocks frequently breaking
out in lodges. But the soil is very rich
and produces abundantly ell the grains and
grasses SO much gloried in in the most fer.
tile parts of Pennsylvania. The farmers
here did not formerly rely go much on slave
labor as those east Of the Blue Ridge
Hence they find far less difficulty in &C.
curing labor. r Gtl}-&EsxsEss& zzB&gscW
The people generally seem to'be hopeful
that the "new movement" will accomplish
soaetkiYeg at least for our relief, thought II
may not secure all that some Of the more
sanguine. were hoping for. At any rate,
the gentlemen. prominent in this effort may
well congratulate themselves that where
they, are known. they viii. have their In
tegrity endorsed and il no good comes o,
their efforts, those who have been SO ready
to denounce them may have occasion one
day to inquire how far their own want Of. q
disposition to work for the pscifcation Of
the raging elements may have contributed
to the failure of this movement.
