ET THE COL UMNS REMAIN FIRM. It has boon well said, that tho victory is not to tho strong alone-in numbers - but to the vigilant, tho aotive and the bravo. Here, in South Carolina, the opposition to tho reigning party have much to confond with; but we say, as we havo said all along, "let the columns re? main firm." Adherence to the right, fidelity, will, energy, pluck-those are the qualities that win. Tho reaction against radicalism, at least to extreme radicalism, is developing itself. It is to hn noticed, even in Congress, where the radical party divided on the Virginia question. The most intelligent and fair minded of the radical leaders are begin? ning to appreciate tho drift of radical party action. Let the opposition, then, romain steady. Let us bo, ourselves, moderato, reasonable nnd wide awake. If thora bo go^d men ready to como to UM from the ranks of the foe, receive them and put them in tho ranks. If 1 hero be good in any of the works of radi calism, accept tho good, but reject the bad. We urge our fellow-citizens of the State, who think with us, that wo need a chango of regime in South Carolina, to possess their souls in patience. Time and Cod abovo aro organizing victory for us. When the palm of success and the laurels of triumph aro ready, let us seo lo it that we shall bo worthy to receive them. Wo can triumph, if wo will. Let men dismiss their traitorous doubts.

The revolutionary movements which aro now going forward in France invest tho Napoleonic dynasty with additional interest. Prince Pierro Bonaparte, who has caused tho pot to boil so fiercely, i* a son of tho great Emperor's brother Lu? cien, who was considered the ablest ol tho family next ofter Napoleon. Thc present Emperor is regarded by many ni not a Bonnparto at all, but the son of o Dutch admiral by Hortense Benuhnrnais, tho daughter of Jos?phine. Louis Ho ?aparte was forced by his brother t< marry Hortense. Ho was in love witl: another woman and withal a dreamy sort of person. Those who believe in UH operation of a principle ol* poetic justice running tho progress of history, muk? mention of thu fact that the grand-son o Josephine, and not <d' Napoleon, nov rules in France, ns proof that tho "whirl ?gig of time brings in his revenges.' Josephine once said, "My progeny shul bc supreme." But Josephine was no tho only woman who was ill used by tin Imperial Corsican. Nor was she tin only one who cherished hopes of a di vine revengo through her descendants And hereby hangs a tale. In 180:5, Jerome Bonaparte, thou ii command of a French frigate, landed ii New York. As thc lind her of Nupolcoi Bonaparte, ho was received with distinc tion, and was ino.-J hospitably entertain ed wherever ho went. While in Haiti more, ho met Miss Elizabeth Patterson tho daughter of a wealthy merchant o that city, and married her on tho '2 lt Ii o December ol' thc same year. The cere uiony was performed by Bishop Carroll of tho Catholic diocese of Ihiltimore, i brother of the distinguished Charles Cat roll, of Carrolltoil. Tho marriage con tract was drawn up by Alexander Dallas afterward Secretary of tho Treasury, am was witnessed by tho Mayor of Bal ti moro and several other official person ages. After remaining in tho Hu i te? States about a year, Jerome llonapart and his wife embarked for France in ai American ship. In tho meantime, Napoleon, to whoc tho marriage of bis brother gave groa offence, had ordered that the newly-mai ried pair should ba permitted lo land n no port over which Franco exercise authority. They therefore landed a Lisbon, where Jerome left his wife directing her to proceed to Amsterdam and went to Paris, with the hope of pre vailing upon Napoleon to recognize hi marriage; but this Napoleon refused t do, at tho same tiuio upbraiding bi brother for daring to marry without bi consent. On arriving at Amsterdam whither sho went in tho American ship Madame lionaparto was confronted wit Napoleon's order forbidding her to lane; She then sailed for England, where sh took up her residence nt Camberwel near London. And here, on the 7th c July, 1805, was born ber only child, Jt romo Napoleon Bonaparte, now living i Baltimore. Napoleon bad determined that bi brothers should marry among th princesses of Europe, and all efforts t induce him to recognize the wifo of Jt rome were vain, ami Jerome was nt lui forced to yield to tho wishes of tho Ea pcror, and murry the Princess Frederic Catharine, of Wiirteaibiirg. Madam Bonaparto met ber husband but one afterward, and then no word passed b< tween them. It was in tho gallery < the Pitti Palace, at Florenco, in Italj Tho Princess was leaning on the arm ( her husband, wlieu tho mooting too place. Joronio started asido on reco( uiziug Madame Bonaparte, and a m< mont afterward whispered to th Princess, "That lady is my former wife. Ho immediately left the gallery, and th next morning quitted Florence. Although Napoleon declared tho ma ringe of Joromo. aud Miss Patterson nu and void, ho could never induce tl Pope to so declare it, and a few yeu? ago, when tho question ns to the rank I which tho Bonapartes of Baltimoi were entitled ns Princess of the Imperil household was up for decision, tho pr< test of tho Pope against tho decree. < Napoleon was brought forward. Soon after the birth of her sou, Mi dame Bonaparte returned to Bultimon whero she has principally resided evi r+^iTm?lwAuiciyxie?iJ., nt a Jame fq tuno. Bhe WIM ubont ?ughtnen year? ? age when she first nipt Jerome Bom parte, aud is now about eighty-five. SI; was always a grout admirer of Nupolcoi in spite of the cruel murnini' ju which 1 treated her. It is said that abo holievi that her grand son will yet Lo Emp?rt of France. Madame Bonaparte's son, Jerome Ni polcou, now in his sixty-fifth year, lu lived in Baltimore sinco his boyhoot Ho was ed Heated at Harvard Collcg where he graduated iu 1820. Ho af te words studied law, but never practice at tho bar. When quite a young man 1 married a very wealthy lady, Miss Snsn Mary Williams, originally of Roxbur; Mass., ami has MUCO devoted his time I tho management of his largo rslato an to agricultural pursuits. His own io tune, added to that of his wife, mut him ono of tho wealthiest men in Bait more. Ho visited his father several timi in Europe, and for many years rooeiv. from bim a large allowance. Ho is oh good terms with Louis Napoleon, and j h?.s one visited the French court, acccm- { panied by one of his sons, upon an invi t ft lion from the Emperor. During tho reign of Lonis Philippo ho vas permit- . ted to remain in Paris for a short time, but was required to assume his mother's ' name of Patterson. Mr. Bonnpnrto has two children. Je- i rome Napoleon, who was born in Haiti-j moro in 1832, aud Charles Joseph, born in 1852. Thc first-named graduated at ! West Point ut tho ago of twenty, aud ' after remaiuiug a short time in the United States nrujy, resigned Iiis commission aud entered that of Franco as a sub- ? lieutenant, lie was with the French and English allies in the Crimea, and re? ceived a decoration from the Sultan of I Turkey for his pallnut conduct nt tho t siege of Sebastopol. Mr. Bonaparte is said to boara strong porsonnl resemblance to his uncle, Hie . lirst Napoleon. If tho validity ol' his father's marriago with Miss Patterson j wero recognized by the Court of France, i it would givo him and his children pre? cedence over his half-brothers and their ' sister, tho Princess Mathilde, the chil? dren of Jerome by his second wife. Is? forts to secure such recognition have been made on, perhaps, morn than one occasion, but. they failed; though how j fur they fell short of success has never been known to the public. ?Tur?me, him I self, who died at a venerable old age, a ; your or two ago, bitterly opposed all such I efforts to obtain precedence for tho l?ul timora Bonapartes, and would ncknow-1 ledgo them only by the name of Patter? son. The scrimmage now going on in Paris i is peculiar. Tho American Bonapartes i aro Republicans, and so are the agitators i in the Corna L?gislatif. It may afford some of them an opportunity, aud a' i Patterson may yet occupy the Tailleries, j ! as Prince President, just as Louis, a Beauharnais, occupied the Palace in i 1810. At all eveuts, the st (try ia worth; I re-telling, us more or less apropos of transpiring events in Prance, to which ; tho Bonapartes, their past, present and , future, bear snell elose relation. Jerome Bonaparte acted bailly enough to Miss I Patterson. Nor bas his family done much better. It would bea niece of po? etic justice, if time should balance the account. - /.""/>././//..

And when ai pretty woman goes by in plain and neat apparel, it is tho presumption that she , has fair expectations, and a husband that can show a balance in his favor.

AND In.-Those who go to listen to Mr. Spurgeon nt the present day, with notions derived from tho reputation ho earned for himself in | tho past, will unquestionably bo disap- j pointed. Ho no longer iudulges in tbo*e eccentricities which did so much origi- ! nally to nttract notice to his preaching. ! Ho still says sterling things, and it is hy ; no menus uncommon to seo a broad . smilo flit across tho faces of his congro- j gatton, even when bo is speaking about ! tho most solemn subjects; but tho extra vagauco of bis earlier days is toued down. The writer, for his part, must declare ? that he went to listen to Mr. Spurgeon ? as strongly prejudiced against him as one could well have been ; but that niter hear- ! ing him preach at least half u dozen I times, and after reading moro than u ? score of bis printed sermons, ho linds bis old prejudice entirely destroyed. In i their place, ho is free to confess," that he j entertains a very lively admiration of tho , great preacher's simplicity and earnest- i ness. Ho lias no respect for his literary ! powers, nor bas be any sympathy with ! thr, forbidding character of much of his ' theological creed, but l?e has never heard ' a preacher who was able to impress his : audience with such a sense of bis own ; earnestness and sincerity, hy means so ' simple, as those which' Mr. Spurgeon , uses to effect this end. His sermons are, I like bis prayers, entirely rjrtemporf. Tho preacher stands in front of Ids ; platform, pockot-hihlu in band, nud poins out, in that wonderful voice of bis, ; a discourse which is always te'ling, and whit li would be eloquent, were a little; moro pains taken with its composition. To literary merit, however, Mr. Spur- j goon does not apparently nspire, nor : does ho ever seek to indnlgo in rhetori? cal fire-works above tho beads of thc congregation. On the contrary, his first ol jcet appears to be, to talk in tho sim? plest manner to each person before him. Anecdotes, .some of them rather too lu? dicrous, one would think, to be used with propriety in tho pulpit, quaint il? lustrations and expressions, thu constant use of scriptural phrases, and forcible personal appeals to his hearers, uinke up the stock tn tradc of Mr. Spurgeon ns a preacher. When yon analyze bis sermons, yon marvel ...* thu effect they have produced; but when ^011 listen to them as a whole, rolled forth by that magnificent voice, and evidently coming straight from the heart of a man terribly in earnest, yon cease to wonder at their success. That there arc many drawbacks to thu plea? sure of listening to him, wo need hardly say; In- dues not scruple, at linos, to harangue bis congregation ou Sunday morning upon thu political events of tin past weeli; bul even when he does not do this, il is impossible ti* mistake bis political creed. He regards the Church establishment as a monstrous iniquity; he looks upon the conservative party as a herd com posed of designing knaves and ignorant dupes. He is as free in prais? ing "William F.wurt flladntone," as thc Unity '/'. /.'///.-//</.', itself. |?SV.

Tho deceased, it will be remembered, was subsequently tried for his crime, at White Plains, ami, being found guilty, was sentenced to ten years' additional servitude, which would have commenced about two years hence, when the term lie was then serving would have expired. For sonic days previous to his death, Lowden suffered nil the agonies of fell ( reiunr.se, und, in tho paroxysms of deli- : riutn, would shirt wildly from bis bed 1 and beg piteously to hu protected from i the murdered keeper, whom tho patient's , affrighted imagination constantly saw preparing to bear him away for punish? ment.
