IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Opposition Made TO Select Councils
Hose Contract Award.

The resolution passed at the last
meeting of select council awarding
the contract for $1,000 worth of hose
among the Columbia Rubber COM
pany, the Gutta Percha and Rubber
company, and the Fabric Fire Hose
company when brought up last night
for concurrence in common council
brought forth speech after speech.
Luther Keller objected to concurrence
for two reasons; because the contract
was not let to the lowest bidder, and
because it ignored the reliable firms,
Hunt & COnnell Foote & Shear, and
the Scranton Supply company. He said
If the contract is to go to the highest
bidder it should be given to the people
why buy picnic tickets and advertise
in tremen's programmes,
Mr.. Keller said the report of the COM
mittee was nothing short of an out
rage. He did not know why they did
it, and it took most of the other Coun-
Cilmen some time to explain why they
want the highest bidder. Mr.. Zizel-
man, Mr.. Walker, Mr.. Cabin. replied
to Mr.. Keller and told him they be-
lieved it was false economy. The
resolution passed. The only mega tive
votes were. Oliver, Keller, p. f. Nor
ris. and Sheridan.
The street cleaning subject was in
troduced by Mr. Oliver. He said as
the matter stands now it is a question
whether or not the contract let to the
Dunn street Sprinklng company is
valid. He moved a substitute resolu-
tion 10 let the contract to w j. Burke
for the figures named in his bid The
resolution was laid on the table.
Captain Moir introduced the follow
ing resolution and it passed:

Romeo, and at the passage of Arcole, an
other of his props went down in Lannes,
and Massena escaped almost by q miracle.
In the wasting fire to which he was ex-
posed, Massena could not bring his men
to charge, except by placing himself at the
head of the column, and lifting his chapeau
on the point of his sword above his head,
and thus moving to the onset.
A MAGNETIC LEADER.
It is said that his bearing on this occa-
sion was magnificent. AS his column
moved along the dixie. he was seen in front.
bareheaded, with his glittering sword
stretched high over his head, on the point
of which swung his hat as banner to the
ranks that pressed after; while his halr
streamed in the storm of battle, and his
piercing eve flashed fire, as it surveyed
the dangers that encompassed him.
Thus, again and again, did he charge on
a run through the tempest OF shot that
swept everything down around him, and
by this course alone was enabled to main
tain his ground during the day.
But. with all Massena's bravery, and
of character that stained his reputation
and dimmed his glory. He was rapacious,
it cannot be denied-though not to the
extent his enemies asSert-and at times
cruel. He seemed almost entirely wanting
in human sympathy and cared no more
for the lives of others than for his own,
which was apparently not at all.
In the battle of RivOli, which took place
the Winter after that of Arcole, Massena
exhibited that insensibility to fatigue
which always characterized him, and
which he, by constant, unwearied dlScl-
pine, impaired to his soldiers.

Culpeper, and arrived there at $40 p. M,
after having changed cars at Gordonsville,
near which place observed an enormous
pile of excellent rifles rotting in the open
air. These had been captured at Chancel-
louisville; but the COnfederates have al
ready such a superintendent stock OF
rifles that apparently they can afford to let
them spoil. The weather was quite cool
after the rain of last night. The county
through which we passed had been in the
enemy's hands last year, and was evacu-
ated by them after the battles before Rich
mond; but at that time it was not their
custom to burn, destroy, and devastate-
everything looked green and beautiful and

In his late daring raid. the Federal Gen.
Stoneman crossed this railroad and de-
stroyed small portion of it, burned a few
buildings, and penetrated to within three
miles of Richmond; but he and his men
were in such hurry that they had not
time to do much serious harm.
Culpeper was, until five days ago, the
headquarters of Gems. Lee and Longstreet,
but since Ewells recapture of Winchester,
the whole army had advanced with rapidity,
and 1t was my object to catch it up as
quickly as possible. On arriving at Gull

orders from that officer to supply me with q

A FRENCH VICTORY.

In moment MasSena was on horseback,
and, forming his weary troops into column,
charged the AuStrianS in front with such
desperation that they were forced to fall
back, and the combat was restored. Bona
parte never called on the intrepid Massena
in vain, and all that day he fought with
Tesistless bravery
The doubtful and bloody contest was at
length at nghtfall decided in favor OF the
French. But there was another Austrian
army farther down, on the Lower Adige,
where Augereau's position was every hour
becoming more critical. With Massena
and part OF his division, which had
marched all the previous night, and fought
with unconquerabie resolution the whole
day, he started for Mantua.
These indomitable troops, with their
chief at their head, moved off as if fresh
from their bIHouacS, rather than weaTied
with whole nights rapid march, and
succeeding day of hard fighting, and
marched all that night and the following
day, and arrived after dark In the neigh
borhood of Mantua. At daybreak the bat
tie was again raging, and, before night,
Bonaparte was a second time victorious.
The next year found Berthier Governor of
Rome, and practicing the most extensive
system OF pillage on the poor Pope and his
Ecclesiastical States. The soldiers at
length became exasperated with the ex-
cesses of their commander, and to check
the characterization, Massena was APP
pointed to supersede him.
All the officers, from the Captains down,
had assembled and drawn up a protest
against the conduct of Berthier. Massena,
as soon as he assumed the command,
ordered the insubordinate troops, except
3,0G0, to leave the Capital. But they re-
fused to march, and assembling again,
drew up another Temonstrance-com-
planned OF Massena-accused him Of pill
laying the Venetian States, and praciicing
eztortion and immoralities of every kind.
Even his iron hand was not strong enough
10 reduce the soldiers to allegiance, and,
throwing up the command, he retired to
Aroma.
While Bonaparte was in Egypt, Massena
was first appointed Commander in Chief
over the Army of Switzerland, and after
ward superseded Jcurdan over those of the
Switzerland and the Rhine together. After
suffering various losses, and being finally
dris en- from Zurich, he at length retrieved
his fame by mastery movement and
great victory, and evinced not only his
uncOnquerable tenacity by fighting his
lost battles over again, but also his con-
summate skill as a General in arranging
his plan of attack.

He was brave as courage itself, and con-

In this engagement, Bonaparte opposed
30 GOO men to 49, 900. He arrived on the
elevated plain of Eivoli at o'clock on the
morning OF the 18th OF January. The
nights around were illuminated by the
innumerable fires of the bivouacs of the
enemy, revealing the immense force he
was about TO struggle against.
Nothing daunted, however, he formed
his army under the light of the silver
moon that was sailing through the mid
night heavens, shedding its quiet light on
the snow-covered Alps, and casting in
deeper shadow the dark fr-trees that
clasped their precipitous sides; and by D
in the morning was ready for action.
The Austrian columns, moving dOwn
from the nights of the Monte baldo, which
lay in o semicircle around the French
army, fell on the LEFT with such power that.

was now resting his troops before leading
them into action.
