"WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16,1S67. THE SOLDIER'S DREAM. The following touching lines were "ivrittcn during tho war by tho Kev. J. L. Reynolds, of South Carolina Uni? versity, iu comm?moration of a beautiful instauce ol' woman's devotion that occurred whilo tho University buildings, Columbia, South Carolina, were used as a hos? pital: The soldier boy lay on his pallet in pain. "Where tho student bis vigils onrc kept. And thero cama willi each throb of his fever-parched brain Sweot memories of home, and ho wept. But a daughter of earth, in her womanly meetuess, Drew near him her vigils to keep, And the charm of her voice, in its sisterly sweetness. Beguiled the sad soldier to sleep. AB her delicate hand bathed his pam-furrowed brow, And her fan plied its outee of blessing, Ho dreamed of tho clime where tho Heavens endow Tho good with au angel's caressing. His hard bed of straw seemed as light as the air, i An angel's wings rustled above. On his pale, sunken cheek fell a tremulous toar, k And a voioe whispered accents of love. Bewildered and charmed by tho beautiful vision. Unconscious of place and of time, Ho deemed bim sell now in the regions elysian. And now in his childhood's fair dime. Thus calming the weeper, and soothing Uie anguished, The visitant watched at his side. And tho soldier boy turned from the bed where lie lan? gui abed, With a smile to the angel-and died. Sketches ol' Travel. LETTES NUMBEB 32CTU. WATERLOO, BET-GIOM, 1366.-After NAPOLEON'S disastrous Russian campaign, in which, he sacri? ficed the finest army ever raised in France, a sixth and grand coalition was formed, with the determi? nation of crushing the man who had made himsolf a terror and disturber, of the peace of Europe. The allies of France, whose friendship had been obtain ed by conquest and held at the point of the bayonet, were glad of an opportunity of throwing off the French yoke, and readily united with thc allies in making war upon NAPOLEON. Even the great Emperor of Austria, on whom NAPOLEON re? lied, aa bis strongest and surest ally, inconse? quence' of his marriage to MARIA LOUISA, joined tho coalition. In a short timo the allies had in the field more than a million of men, and were marching on the French metropolis from all quar? ters. NAPOLEON exerted almost superhuman pow? er in the defence of bis cherished capital, but he wits finally crushed by overwhelming numberE. On th? 31st. March, 1814, the Emperor Alexander of Russia and the King of Prussia entered Paris in triumph. Two hundred and fifty thousand men infantry, cavalry, and artillen--marched thirty abreast through the most frequented thorough? fares of tho city. The crowd of impulsive French? men, who so recently shouted "Vive l'Empereur Napoleon," now shouted for Emperor Alexander ana King of Prussia, and "Vive Louis XYILL" On the 11th April, 1814, Napoleon very reluctant? ly signed the Act of Abdication, renouncing for himself and his family the thrones of France and Italy. Louis XVIII, who had been residing iii England, was recalled and declared King. Thus were the old Bourbons again restored to power, and' Napoleon banished to Elba, a small island-in the Mediterranean Sea. What a spectacle ! Be? hold this mau of a giant intellect, who so recently ruled the powerful nations of Europe with an iron rod, now consigned, in humiliation and disgrace, 'to a barren island not ten miles square. Napoleon deserved this severe punishment for his wrongs to Josephine. The allied sovereigns who had de? throned Napoleon were assembled at Vienna, ar? ranging for a glorious peace, and to settle tho -afi?irs of Europe. Vienna became tho scone of gaiety and brilliant fetes. It was at one of these splendid entertainments that the astounding intel? ligence was received that Napoleon had escaped from Elb a, an deflected a landing in France. The an? nouncement led almost instantly to a seventh coali? tion of the great powers to destroy the man they re? garded as the enemy of mankind-he was thought a fit Subject for public vengeance. Napoleon march? ed from the south of France to Paris in twenty days, without opposition. Marshal Ney, who was sent to intercept him, promised to ''bring back to Paris the dangerous Corsican in an iron cage." Tho eight of his old companion in arms was too much for old Ney-he no longer remembered his oaths . and .promises to Louis XVIII, but joined Napo? leon, and marched with him m triumph to the Tu?eries,'where they arrived on the 20th March, 1815, ten months from the date of his banishment. On the night of the 16th. June Wollington was attending a brilliant ball, given by the Duchess) of Bichmond, at Brussels; a courier entered and in ? formed the British General that Napoleon, with his army, was within ten miles of Brussels ! It is .aid the Iron Duke turned pale, and instantly left, accompanied by his officers, to prepare for the great conflict. The bells wore rang, war trum? pets sounded, drums beat to arms. In an hour .thoimman?e English army was marching. Wel? lington halted on tho spacious field of Waterloo. . ID thin strong- position ho carefully selected his .ground, stationed his troops, and dispatched a .messenger for Blucher, who had under his com? mand 6o,000 splendid Prussian soldiers. No spot in Europe has mt ores ted me more that tho world renowned battle-field of Waterloo. It was hero, half a century ago, the most important hattie re? corded in history was fought. My guido pointed ont the position selected by the great English chieftain, "which he so heroically defended against the desperate assaults of the French. Also the old oak. tree under which Napoleon assembled his . officers to give them his final orders. "The army of the euemy," sa d he, "outnumbers ns one fourth; there, are, however, ninety chances in om* favor to ten against us." It was a bris ht sunny ?norning in Juno, the day appointed for rest; silence reigned on the field, but every one knew in .a.few hours the fierce battle would be raging. Tho surgeons had established their hospitals in the rear, and stood with bandages, splinters, knives and Baws, ready to perform their work of mercy. At ten o'clock ute dreadful struggle commenced. Wellington felt that the honor of old England was resting on his broad shoulders, and Napoleon know that his fate, and that of his empire, depended on the result of this day's battle. The brave French soldiers made charge after charge, shouting " Vt vc T Empereur .'" - They were pressing heavily upon -the English lines. Wellington stood anxiously looking for the Prussians under Blucher. He ox 'clMmed, "Would to Heaven Blucher cr night ^ronld come!" One whole day of slaughter had .passed, and tho battle hung, aa it wore, m the bal ance. Napoleon Veit that victory was near at hand, and waa about making a final charge with the Old tinsr?t which,"it was saidL, never charged in vain. At thfe' critical moment heavy cannonading was orders for a simultaneous attack by his whole Jfrroey . Atas I it waa not Grouchy, but Bulow and -Blucher with 60,000 fresh troops. A shout of ex? ultation ran through the allied lines. Napoleon ?aw that all waa lost unless he could break the .English lines be toro the union of the allied armies, which had stood like a stone wall against the dreadful assaults of the French; te now ordered his reserved guard, which bad never failed him in battle. As these world - renowned old soldiers, under Marshal Ney, ?defiant of death, pressed on, piercing the British lino, it is Bald both armies gazed with awe upon ihe scene.. Marshal Noy, in a few moments, tad tax horses shot irom under him. With sabre in band?, he marched on foot, leading his men into -tho very jaws of death. Blucher, with his legions of infantry, cavalry and artillery, like an avalanche ?wept over this little band of bravo men until' ahnoBt to a man, they were waitering in 'blood! general Cambronne, who ^aa bleeding from a 'Ooaen wounds, was surrounded bv a miall rem q?anti of his men. > flag of truco wa8 aeut de_ -manj?me a oaD>tiiation; Cambronne replied, "The vnara aw^ butn ever surrenders 1" Thus heroi? cally, perished the Imperial Guard, and Napoleon's a bar*, set to-rise no moro. Napoleon escaped to Paris,'carrying Ihe tilings of the terrible catas? trophe at Waterloo, which throw tho city into con? fusion and despair. Seeing all was lost, Napoleon abdicated in favor of his son, and attempted to escapo to America; but this was impossible, as the ' French coast was blockaded from Brest to Bayonne. Napoleon finally determined to throw himself upon the hospitality of tho British nation, claim -ihg-the -protection of their Court. TheEngliBh, having the French hon in their possession, deter? mined to place him where he could do no more mischief. The Government sent him a prisoner "for life to St. Helena, a.small island in the Atlantic Ocean, between the Continents of Africa and South America. Six years of humiliation, suffering and anguish broke the heart of the greatest military chieftain . -that ever lived. Napoleon was not only a great military hero, but he was also a brilliant states? man. Let. ns but cast our eyes over the pages of ' history, and wo find Ambition is the rock on which most of the great military heroes perish. Alexan? der, after having climbed the Alpine heights of ambition, looked down upon the conquered nations ; and wept because there was not another world to conquer. He died among strangers in a fit of . debauch. Hanuibal crossed tho ice-clad Alps anti nut to flight the armies of the Mistress of the jt^fforld. After having Btained his hand in tho blood of his fellow creatures, he put an end to bis miser? able existence by committing suicido. Cu?sar, after conquering a thousand cities, and murdering ta million of his foes, was assassinated by his irienda. Bonaparte, who had filled tho earth" with the terror of his name, became a lonely cxilo. ?Such was the Bad fate of four of tho greatest . military men in ancient or modern times ' . _ G. W. W.

BOSTON, January 9.-Business continues quiet, with but a moderate demand for sp nug goods. Prices are, however, fully sustained, and with the present firmness in thc leather market and for materials tor manufactur? ing, the price of. boots and shoes is more likely to ad? vance than to recede.

Wo buvo in town a few buy? ers, but their demands are not sufficient to cause much movement with tho trade. The largest lots taken are by California and the extreme Southern trade. Manufac? turers are commencing to work gradually, as tho prices of labor are favorable to them formaking up stock.

J Among the chief points of excellence of the Ghicker ing Pianos; of which speak the reno wo od artists in their congratulatory testimonials to the Messrs.

I consider Chick erl cg & Sons' Pianos, beyond com? parison, the best I have ever seen in America. GOTTSCHALK. I consider Chickerlng A Sons' Pianos superior to any in the world, . They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for the harmonious roundness of their tone. There ls a perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers. The upper notes ore remarkable for a clearness and purity which I do not find lu any other instrument, while the Oase is distinguished for power without harshness, and for a magnificent sonority. WEHLL Your Pianos are superior to any I have ever seen in this country or in Europe. .I hove never hoard a tone BO perfect; lt yields every expression that is needed In m oslo, and its quality is capable of change to meet every sentiment. This is a rare power, and ie derived from the perfect purity of Its tone, together with its sympathetic, elastic and well balanced touch. POZNAN SKI.
