Withdrawn from the calv. SIS for Gov

his Withdrawal Mr.. Colyar virtually

Colyar heard the spseeh of General
Brown at Chattanooga on the LIST,
and he was forced to see that he did
not differ with him in vital points
and that G q. Brown assumed such a
thoroughly magpanimous and patri-

unoecupied upon which Mr.. Colyar
could establish platform.

TIC the eternal praise Of King vii
liam of Prussia be it said that he has
treated his captive, he Emperor OF
France, with a considerate delicacy
/ and kindness that could alone receive
their promplings from manIy heart.
War has it chances, and he who
stakes his ell upon its bloody die
must contemplate with calm 1ees the
sad results of failure. While it does
not seem that Napoleon. was fully
alive to his own peril in a war with
Prussuia, he has so conduc ed him
self since he became victim that
even his enemies must. admire the
sublime philosophy of his courage.
There are few meo who would have
received so sudden a descent from
the pinscle of human grandeur and
power to the sorrows Of defeat and
captivity with more dignity and cour-
age than this fallen Emperor. He
has seen the magnificent fabric IF
power that his hand had created as a
gift for his son dissoIveln,o nothing
mess, and heard tie people who only
few months ago were the loudest 10
| their loyalty now bitterly assailing
his name. IF anything more was
needed 20 prove the Instability Of hu-
man greatness, the evidence lies in
fate ofthe captive Emperor OF France.
What a sad price he is now paying
for the few years be enjoyed the
,epter and ermine of royalty ! But
he is as great in his adversely as he
was in the brightest days ofhis pow
er. and perhaps The next turn OF for
tunes wheel may lift him from the
restraint of captivity TO the magnif
cent throne now lost to him. These
SaPoleons claim to be children Of
destiny. and their history certainly
leads US to believe that they are. and
France may yet overthrow the irreg
ular government now in power and
again bestow the imperial crown upon
