Wellington and Waterloo.

AT the Duchess Of Riohm ond's bali
at Brussels, the Prince Of Orange
who commanded the first division of
the army, oa,nn back suddenly, just as
the Duke of Wellington had taken
bis place at, the supper table, aud
whispered some minutes to his Grace.
who only said he had no fresh orders
to give, and recommended the Prince
to 60 back to his quarters and to gu
to bed. The Duke of WclIingtoh
remained nearly twenty minutes after
this, aud then said to the Duke OF
Richmond, CT think it is time for me
to 60 to bod likewise !" and then,
while wishing him good night,
whispered TO ask him if he had good
map in his house. Tho Duke of Roh-
mond said he had, and took him into
his dressing-room, which opened into
the supper-room. The Duke Of We'll
lington shut the door and said, Napo-
leon has humbugged me (by Cd y;
he. has gained twenty-four hours
march on me-" The Duke Of Rich.
mond said "What do you intend
doing ~ The Duke OF Wellington
replied !. 81 have ordered the army
to concentrate off Quatre Bras but
We shall not stop him there and, if 80,
must fight him here" (at the same
time passing his thumb.nail over the
position Of Waterloo). He then said
adieu, and left the house by another
way out. He went to his quarters,
slept six hours and breakfasted' aud
rode at speed to Quatre-Bras, where
he met Hardinge, and went with him
to Blucher, who took him over the
position at Ligny. The Duke of Wei
lington suggested many alterations,
but Bluoher. would not consent to
move q man. The conversation in the
Duke, of Riehmond's dressing room
was repeated L" mo, two minutes
after it occurred, by the Duke Of
Richmond who was to Eave the COM
Ipand Of the reserve, if formed, and to
whom 7 was to have been aid -dc-c camp.
He marked tue Duke Of Wellington's
thumb-nail with pencil on the map,
and We often looked Mt it together
some montba afterward. On the
morning of the 18th, my company
being nearly in f-oat Of the farm.
house at Quatre Bras, soon after day
break the Duke of Wellington came to
me, and, being personally known TO
hin he. remaiued in conversation for
an hour or more, during which time
he repeatedly said he was surprised to
have heard nothing of B!ucher. AT
length q staff officer arrived, his horse
covered with foam, and whi.rereaE to
the Duke, who, without the least
change Of oountenapce, gave him
some orders and dismissed him. He
then turned around to me and said :
"Otd Biucher has had a id good
licking, and gone back to Wavre,
eighteen miles. As he has gone b .ck,
we must 60 too. suppose in Eng-
land they will say we have boen
licked. | can't" help"i as they arc
gone back, we must 60 too" He
made all the arrangements for retir.
ing without moving from the spot on
which he was standing, and it certnin-
ly did not occupy him five minutes.---

Why THEY Dos:T Bxe,s.--A great
deal of disappointment has been ex-
pressed at the apparent slowness of
the French and Prussians to begin the
active fighting of the war. This
shows that people have entertained
very unreasonable expectations. It
is not yet three weeks sinco the dis.
turbanccs in connection with the
nomination of Prince Leopold of
Hohonsollorn to the Spanish throne
commenced, and already great bat
tie is looked for, and its absence made
the ground for doubling whether
there will be war at all.
In order to fight great battle, it
is first necessary to,get great armies
"fon ter. itery where the fighting il
to take place. This requires time.
No matter how thorough the prepsra-
tiops of the combatants may have
been, they cannot place their forces
at once at the soene Of action. If, as
is reported, the French purpose to as
semble three hundred thousand men
between Strasburg and Thionyille, it
is hardly possible that the task should
be completed before tho lst Of
August and even that rapidity Of
movement will be something without
precedent. The Prussians on their
side are, no doubt, using all possible
diligence but it will be many days
before Prussian army can be drawn
up in line of battle opposite to a
French army, and the dread signal
for the contest between the. two sbe
given. In 1859, preparations for the
war between ,France, and Austria were
making as early as Japqary, but not a
blow vas struck till May. In 1866,
Austria and Prussia began to put
their armies on, war footing in
March but, though they moved with
unexampled celerity,. the battle Of
Sadoga was not fought till July.

PEcULIARITIEs OF IcE.--Besides
the fact that ice is lighter than water,
there is another curious thing about it
whiok persons do not know, perhaps,
viz: its purity. A lump of ice melt
ed will always become purely distill-
ed water. When the early naviga.
tors Of the Arctic seas got out of wa
ter they melted fragments of those
vast mountains Of ice called icebergs,
and we're asstonished to find that they
yielded only fresh water. They
thought that they were frozen salt
water, not knowing that they were
formed on the land and launched into
the sea- But if they had been right,
the result would have been Just the
same. The fact is, the, water, ip
freezing, turns out of it all that is not
water--salt, air, coloring matter, and
oil Impurities. Frozen sea.water
makes frosh.water Ice. If, you freeze
basin of indigo.wa.sr it ,will,make 1t
as pure as that made of pure rain
water. q tWhenthe cold isyery sudden
these foreign matters have no time to
escape, either by rising or sinkiug
and are thus entangled with the ice,
but do not form any part ofit. ..7'si

who has been hired by Governor
Holden to organize hell aud loyalty in

"Collecting in Tennessee, during

a horse, and, riding hard, gave notice
of the advance Of the raiders. This

Kirk found out the name of the boy,
and on his retreat had him arrested
and brought before him, threatening
to kill the little fellow, who, thorough

The RecOil on Corbin.

We have read Mr.. D. It. Corbin's
letters in the Charleston Repu5licu, :,
in reference to Judge Carpenter, aud
find them weak, indirect, and, if prov.
ing anything at all, more damaging
to himself than to his object. =
And the last, in review of Judge
Carpenters scathiug on Wednesday
night, in which the district Attorney y
received severe oastigation, contra
dots the first. In his letter in the
Republican of the. 9th inst headed
"Judge Carpenter and the Phosphate
Question:" he accuses Judge Carpen-
ter of bribing the Legislature in the
following language. "He was very
anxious about it (the Phosphate Bill,
n and said he had seen aud would
see other members, and urge its pas
sage" If this meant anything, it
meant that Judge Carpenter had
bribed the members. Such was the
conventional meaning of the words
seen and see, in the circles in which
MIR. Corbin lived and moved during
tue session Of the Legislature. Now,
- ~oAASo "" pAociSahJ uuu CA pllClGly
that he made any such charge against
Judge Carpenter.
Again, Mr.. Corbin, whether diroot-
ly charging it or not, certainly wish es
it to be implied, in his letter Of the
9th, that, for the $4,000 paid by him
to Judge Carpenter, he received not
only an interest in the phosphate com.
pany, but Judge Carpenters promise,
expressed or implied, that he would
rule tho aot to be an exclusive grant
and decide cases in favor of the
company in which he (Corbin} was in
terested. Now, while reiterating
what he said and Carpenter said, &c.,
&o., aud going over tho ground of the
alleged agreement between them as to
tho expected decisions, he solemnly
asseverates that he never actually
bribed him or ATTEMPTED to bribe him
Well, If ho did not, then his state.
ments are wholly groundless IT, on
the other hand, we are to believe these
statements, then he was in the samo

HOW to BHI.H coal.

1t is great thing these days of high
prices of fuel to know how to burn coal
economically, to obtain the greatest
amount of heat at the least expense. \
few -impe dir ctions will be acceptable
TO our readers:
IJo MT use t0o course W0od in kindling
the fire, for while il will, of course, 10
mite the coal, it leaves a bed of ashes
that will prevent Il GOOD draught. Fine
rpiit kindling- that will burn quickly
and blaze well, are the best. The
amount OF kindiing depends upon the size
OF the coal.
As a general thing, people burn too
large sized coal. .SmaH coal yireS much more
heH than large, and there is more rada-
ting surface. With large coal, there is al
ways u great amount which is of no prac-
teal use, a. il Is hidden in the large Jumps
and does not have IA fair chance to do its
desired work. We find small coal easier
TO use, more productive of heat, and
cheaper,
\ stove or furnace should be so con-
-tructed that the draught may be under
control, for usually a large portion Of the
heat /, allowed to escape by the chimney.
The great problem Is TO utilize all the
heat from the burning coal, and allow
nothing but smoke (and OILY a little of
that) and the nOXiou> gas to escape.
The putting of ashes upon coal fire
10 keep il" will serve the purpose, but
it /, apt to make "clinkerS." Screen
ing- or >ifting>, or what the ''heip" calls
''old COAL Is best for this purpose. If
q GOOD fire Is well covered with sold
coal at night, and the lower draught
closed and the upper one nearly closed
the fire will keep we'll and be in fine con-
dition i'll the morning then it may be
allowed to draw a few minutes before
''Shaking DOWN and putting fresh coal.
Ii the fire gets low, pet it by put
