GAMBErTA has been condemned to three
months imprisonment and fine Of 800 on the
charge OF insulting President MACMAHoN in his
speech at Lislc. The insult consisted in his
warming IMAGINATION Of tho danger Of attempt
ing 10 destroy the Republic. While many OF
the leading Monarchsts and Impcraists Of
France are calling upon MACMAHoN to crush
the Republican Government 10y n coup deidi.
tho argument on the other side is either pro-
hihited altogether or made very perilous to
those who indulge in it. In GAMDETTA's case
the methods Of French law were adroity turned
against him: he was not permitted 10 have n
trial by jury. and the court before which he
was compelled 10 appear held its sessions
in secret. and permitted no report OF its pro-
coedings other than the judgment announcing
the sentence Of condemnation. If GAMBETTA
bc compelled to enter upon his term OF impris-
onment Immediately after the confirmation OF
the judgment in the appeal that he has taken.
he will be inrarceratcd during tho most i'm
portant period Of the political campaign
now in progress. and up to and beyond
the general election for members Of the
Chamber OF Deputies next month. in which
the Republicans have depended upon his
power and skill the real leader OF their party.
Yet Notwithstanding the death of N. THEIRS.

ton Of Republican speech and action. the pros
poets continue favorable 10 the Republican party
in the next Chamber of Deputies.

THAT was the sweetest music | ever heard.
General jackson's troops and his enemy's
believed he never slept; the fact is, he slept q
erea, deal. Whenever he had nothing else TO
do he went to sleep, especially in church. l
remember during The Invasion OF Maryland,
on Sunday night be rode three miles in an am
bulance to attend church in Frederick, and
then fell asleep as soon as the minister Legan
to preach his head fell upon his breast, and
he never awoke until aroused by the organ and
choir. lie could sleep anywhere and in any
position, sitting in bis chair, under fire, or on
horseback. On night march towards Rich
mond. after the battles with Mcclellan, be WAS
riding along with his drowsy staff, nodding
and sleeping as he went We passed by groups
Of men sitting along the roadside, and ensag
ed in roasting new corn by fires made Of fence
rails. One gronp took US ior cayalrymen, with
an inebriated captain, and one Of the party,
delighted NJ the sight Of man who bad found
whisky enough TO be drunk, sprang up from
the fire and. braudishing a roasting ear in his
hand, leaped down into the road. and seizinS
the generals horse, criel out, 81 say. old ic

In an instant as the general awoke, the fellow
saw his mistake; and then bounding from the
road he took the fence at single leap, ox-
claiming, Good God, it's old Jack r' atd
disappeared in the darkness. Yes, General
Jackson slept great deal but was never
caught mapping.

He gave to sleep many moments which
other men would have given 10 conversation.
He was essentially silent man not morose,
but quiet. lie smiled often. rarely laughed.
lie never told Joke, but did not discourage
them 10 others and If oue struck his peculiar
fancy he would smile in mild approval. H1
did not live apart from his staff, but liked TO
have them about him, and they were nearly
all very young men. Universally polite in
manner, he encouraged the liyclicst conycrsa-
ton among them, although be took little part
in il. lie was not a man OF many words
they seemed 70 embarrass him. When be had
ideas he put them into action, not into Ian
guage. His military dispatches were as brief
as If studied, like the one he sent after the de-
feat of Alilroy " God blessed our amy with
victory at Mcdowell yesterday" lie never
discussed his plans; indeed, ne never told
them The next officer under him never knew
his intention nor object. lie never volunteered
his opinion to his superior, nor asked advice of
his subordinates. Hc was rs self-reliaut as 10
was silent and believed " he walks with speed
who walks alone" lie was retccnt 90 a fault

take il off aud throw il away was one Of bis
sayings, This Ieticenco often led 20 mbarras-
ment and complaint from the officer next in

case Of his death but he evidently thought it
better to run that risk than the risk Of having
his plans discovered.

[Gen J. Z. b. Stuart fell mortally wounded in
fight with Sheridan's cavalry at lellow Tavern
not far from Richmond, Va, In the spring of 1854,
and his remains are inferred in the soldiers GEM
etery at Hollywood.l
Amid Holywoods shades | stood BY his grave,
With the river: tide ripping near me;
And there seemed a sad voice in each murmuring
wave,
Like the plant of low Miserere.
In death the gray jacket still clngs to his breast,
Like the ties that in life had so bound him;
For beneath the green sod where they laid him to
rest,
He sleeps with his soldiers around him.
There was woe through the land when our bold
Stuart died,
In that battle the foe was prevailing
He fought like a hero, but iel in his pride,
Leaving comrades and country bewailing.
Let the flag that he fought for fold round him in
death,
Fittest shroud for the warrior..sleeping
For true and unyielding, his last leeting breath,
Spoke of faith to that starry cross keeping.
1t was well for the South that her flag should be
red
For that color, so sangune and CORY,
Told of blood that her patriot martyrs have shed,
With its stars for the crown OF their glory.
Death marked them the nObcst and brayest OF ours,
Whose lives the best virtues combining.
As we Gull from the garden its iarest of flowers,
a And from jewels, the gems highest shining.
No proud marble was needed, no p!y-carved
line,
To tell how cur hero had perished
In his country's history the record will shine,
In the hearts of his soldier It's cherished.
Let the willow be planted to weep by his grave,
Where our people will kneel TO deplore him,
And the laurel we bind for the brow ofthe brarej
Its evergreen branches wave o'er him.
Should we weep for a soul that pure angels have
borne
To that heaven where blest spirits still love US !
Or grieve that star from this dark world has
gone
To beam in the bright sky above US?
Stuart fell; and the South has passed under the
rod,
But he gave in his noontide Of glory
His life 70 his country-his soul to his God,
And a name that's immortal to story.
Sunny South.
