SENATOR.

Agreeably TO our special dis
patches Of yesterday, Revels,
cOlored, Of Natchez, and q men,
Der Of the State Senate, was elect.
ted to the remainder of the Con-
gressional term, commencing,
1866.
This election was the result oil
q sort of diplomacy, It seems.
And the the rivalry between the
white candidates undoubtedly con.
duced to the success Of Revels.
It was reported Wednesday that
It was the inteatIon of the Con-
sentative members to unite upon
Revels, and thus elect him.
This would have made a
strong point. against the Radi
Gals, SO Aey concluded in caucus
TO head it of by uniting on Rev.
els themselves, and thus he is
elected.
We hope every courtesy will
be extended our Senatorial dele
: cation by Congress, for we Ger
tainly have a very respectable
trio, Ames, Alcorn and Revels :!
We hope Revels will receive
better treatment than was accord
cd to the coIored gem'mn from
Louisiana, who asked admission
as a Congressman, and was sent
home incontinently.
We are informed that Revels is
far from being an inferior man,
and that his political course has
been quite superior to that of
prominent white men. He Is said
to be quite intelligent and liberal
in his views, and as fair q speCi-
men Of his race as could have been
selected.
If the Radicals pretend TO carry
out their principles, it is only
justice that the negro race should
have a share Of the honors, and
especially as they chiefly constitute
the party. Ames, AlcOrn, and
Revels! Mississippi statesmen,
and names 10 be handed down to
pOsterity on the bright y page
Of our States history! Yankee

THE GREAT BATTLE AT SEDAN.

Graphic Account OF the Terrible Contest
The following is from the correspondent
of the New York Tribune, at the head
quarters of the King of Prussia, eight
miles from Sedan, Thursday night, Sep
tember 1st
THE PRUssIANS TAKING THEIR POSITION.
After their defeats on the Both and 31st
ult., the French retreated en- naSSe on
Sedan and encamped around it. On the
evening of Wednesday, from to o'clock,
was at the Crown Princes headquarters
at Chemery village, some thirteen miles
from Sedan, to the south southwest on the
main road. At half past we saw that
there was great movement among the
troops encamped all around rs. Soon l
learned that whole Prussian corps, those
lent from Prince Frederick Charles second
army and the Crown Prince, were making
q forced march to the left. in the direction
of Donchery and Mezieres, in order to
shut in Marshal McMahon's army IN the
west, and so drive them against the Bel
gium frontier. I learned from officers of
the Grown Princes staff that at the same
time, while we were watching regiment
after regiment pass through Chemery, the
Saxons and Guards, eighty thousand
strong on the Prussian right, under Prince
Albert of Saxony, were also marching
rapidly to close on the doomed French
army on the right bank Of the Meuse,
which they crossed ct Remllly on tuesday,

When had seen the last regiment dash
through (for the pace at which they went

ordinary sense,) I rode off, about quarter
past eight in the evening, for Vendresse,
where the Kings headquarters were. Al
o'clock Thursday morning my servant
came to awake me. Just as I got to my

THE MAN OF DESTINY.
HIS GRADUAL RISE AND SUDDEN
DOWNFALL.
A sNETCEz OF HIS LIFE.

Friday saw the sudden collapse of one
of the most extraordinary men OF history
and of modern times q man whose am
bition, at the outset Of his career, tram
pied out the liberties Of nation, and at
its finale deluged one of the fairest coun-
tries of the world in blood, and all, rs be
himself had repeatedly stated, for the
glory Of France" and for the perpetual
ton of his dynasty and Of C@sarism in Eu
rope. The life of
CHARLES LOUIS NAPOLEON B0NAPARTE,
full of romance and adventure, shows what
a man can accomplish by a concentration
of all his powers upon one purpose. He
was born in Paris, April 90, and was the
Youngest son of Louis Bonaparte, the
brother Of Napoleon the Great, and who
was for time King of Holland, and Hor-
tense, the daughter of the Empress Jose
phine. A scandal which has gained con-
siderable credence, from the reputation
which Hortense like other members of the
Beauharnois family bore, has attributed
his paternal parentage to Count Flahault,
with whom Hortense sustained rather
doubtful relations. However this may be,
he was born in the midst OF unquestionable
surroundings, and his legitimacy further
established by the Emperor and Empress
serving as sponsors at his baptism. An
early favorite of his uncle, upon his return
| from Elba, he was taken by him to the
Champ de Mars, and there, at the age of
seven, presented to the Deputies Of the
people and the army. When Napoleon
embraced him for the last time at Mol
maison, previous to his departure for st.
Helena, both were much affected, the child
wishing to follow his uncle, and being
pacifed with great difficulty by his
mother.
Els CHILDHOOD.
After the battle of Waterloo had decided
the fate Of the Napoleonic dynasty, Louis
in company with his mother, took up hi!
residence at Augsburg, where he learned
the German language. Subsequently they
removed to Switzerland, where they passed
their summers, while in the winter they
retired to Rome.
| THE EDUCATION OF LOUIS.
During the continuance OF the First En-
pire and the residence of tke family il
Paris, was superintended by his mother
the Queen of Holland. After their retire
ment to Switzerland the principal tutor @
the youth was M. Lebas. M. Lebas bein
I stern Republican, and Louis being of a.
, irrepressible nature, his first conviction
were those of Republicanism. How shol
lived they we're, or how readily he coul
adapt himself to circumstances, Iis subst
