FOnT PITT, PiuNOE RUPi;EnT'S LAND May 13.--Onl 'Saturday last Martin B'u. tliero killed the pigs, slaughtering them in the usual manner-that is, aftor stab bing the aniiimals and allowing thom to bleed to death whilst wvalking around, he dis<-mbowelled them, and phmntin g their carcasses mio a vat of boilng water, and tlenl scraped the bristles cloan from the skinl. Tho butchering operation MtS witnessed by -his two youngt.r children, boys of the respective ages of six and eight years. The eldest Gustavo, it was observed at the time, seem delighfod, not only by the stupid actions of te pig-I, but also excited and interested in the latter process of the butchecing, elapping his little hands, and muttering, in tihe. patois of these people, observations of joy. A fler church next day, I accompanied Buthiere and his wifo towards their house, which was but a short distance from the chappel. When within a fow yards of his doorstep wo were all start led by observing the littlo Gustave run ning toward us holdmi up his hands all red and bloody ; his eyes glistenel with a wild, but childliko sort of gleo, and cryig out in broken French to the effect that ie had "killed little piggy com and see." The mother startled at appearaice of the boy, interrogated him quckly as to tho cause of the blood, bitt he only clapped his.hands as before muttering about "piggy," and said, "Come and see." Oil horror of horrors I The door is opened aid right before our eyes, hang ing from onie of tihe low beamis that ran across tlt. roomi was the dead naked imutilaticd body of tle precious little boy, the yotingest of Butlhiere's chdl dren. The floor was covered with clois and wol s of blood. still wanrm and streaming, and, horrible to relate, di. reetly uid'*r the liiging corpse were the bo wels of the li tile fIIllowi in a leap just as the y had been torn from the still wNi n i y ! The teother, with a fran tic sh rick, sNwomined on the threshold, tle fth e r stood triaisftxed With ho1or whilst 1, wit'h a siekenuing feeling, leanted aMgainst the. doorpost, and with my hand I 11md to shade my eves from the horrid sight. I t woild seem t.it shorrlv after Mr. anld Mis. Ilinthitire had left their homo for the purpose of11 attending the lec'.nu-e at the chappl. Gustlavo proposed to his little brother, Adolph, that ihey should plry killing pig. I 1 this request it i. supposed thai t. ie tun t oll ti nai t litle fe!'ow ni tquies.sted. Tho younigest was t.o be the pig, the elhst the butcher. GAiimave eagerly assisted his brother to unad ress for the ti'agedy, and taking a small rope tie'l him down securely to a rougli lounige that, stood inl the rooni lie tLhed procurod the butcher knife that his father had used in laughtoring the pigs tho day hefore ani pliiged it, into the throat of his passive and helplesst bro tier. The womtid was a mortal one, and it is supposed that, death must have immediately resuted. After the child had blod his little life away, the unnat urad brot her, with the most iiciedible heartlesstness, took the cord which oon fimed the body to lie lounge, and tymtig one end arolnd 1he lt, of tihe corpse; threwy the other over tie beam, and, lending his weight and strength, hoisted the body to the position in which it was fond.

The Empire has fallen aftor resisting for two months with adoterminaltion worthy a botter causo.

You have ofln challenged death in an inequal conflict against ininberless for ciginers and traitors, provided VeIl with all kinds of war materials perfectly well fortified and commanded by the best, officers of the old army, who were dis loyal to their country and tried to up hold a foreigner which another foreigner the French Emperor, attempted to tnm poso upon us by means of foreign bayo. nots ; but fortunately this does w.,t ex ist, and more than remains havo fled to France to conceal their shatmo and to carry the news that half their numbers perished with lack of realizing Napo teon 's Caa)ceS.

A few days agp) there occurred in Quiiney, Florida, one of the most licart-reniling accidents that it has ever beei our duty to re cord.

Thus, in a few short moments, those bright, joyous, itapply young creatures, revelling iu delightful anticipations of to-morrox ' happiness, woro stricken down in .ho springtime of life-in that period when for the young '-There's perfturme upon every wind--music mt every .rce, Dcws fur the mioisture-loving flowers sweets for- the seekinlg beo."
