Tke Wheel of Fortune*
Twenty three years ago last November Louis
Napoleon, the present Emperor of France, left
the St, Charles Hotel without paying the hoard
bill. In the New Orleans Ben of November
20, 1830, appeared the following account of the
nooio v/ount s departure from tuat city.
Count Louis NJipoleon Bonaparte, whose ar- j
rival in this city was announeecd in several of
the papers, has left New Orleans in high dud- j
goon, and for just reasons. lie was yesterday j
morning informed by the proprietors of the St?
Charles Hotel that it was customary for gentlemen
traveling without baggage (the Count
was scantily provided in that way for a man of
liis titular dimensions) to pay for their board in
advance; whereupon the following dialogue on
sued :
Count?My name is a suiOcicnt guarantee
for my bill.
Publican?Your name, Count, is a very good
one, but won't buy marketing.
Count?Make out my bill.
Publican?It shall be done.
The clerk thereupon presented the bill, made
out in the name of Count L. N. Bonaparte.
"My name." said the Count, "is Louis N i-'
poleon Bonaparte. 1 wish it so stated, in full
in the account."
A second bill was made out, and tuc
name written out in fair, legible letters.
"My name is Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
Prince of Segovia, Kamschatka, and oih.? ,
/I rt nnll/l All m At' Qui* ca it, tlm lull " K/ien.\n . Iml '
v/i ov aii iiiv; uui} i vc^uuvu
the sprig of nobility.
"I will not make out a third bill," said the
clerk.
"Then I'll be damned if I pay it," said his
Excellency, and forthwith obsquatulatcd.

LINCOLN OFFERS TO RELEASE V ALL AN DI GUAM
FROM EXTLE?THE TERMS UPON WHICH HE
WILL no Ii*.
The Committee of the Democratic Convention,
which nominated Vallandighnm for Govenor
of Ohio, addressed a letter to Lincoln, demanding
the revocation of his order exiling
their candidate from the. United States. Lincoln
has published a reply, of which the followng
is an extract :
I send yon duplicates of this i iter, in order
that you, or a majority of von, mav, if von
choose, endorse your names tipt. n one of them*
and return it thus endorsed to me, with the
understanding that those signing are thereby
committed to the following propositions, and
touiothing else.
.1. That there is now a rebellion in the States
the object and tendency of which is to destroy
the National Union; and that, in your opinion,
an army and navy are constitutional means for.
suppressing that rebellion.
2. That no one of you will do anything which
in bis own judgment, will tend to binder lie increase,
or favor the decrease,'or lessen the efficiency
of the army or navy while engaged in
the effort to suppress the rebellion; and
3. That each of you will, in his sphere, do
all lie can to have the officers, soldiers and seamen
of the army and navy, while' engaged in
the effort to suppress the rebellion, paid, fed,
clad, and otherwise well provided for and
supported.
And with the further understanding that
upon receiving the letter and name thus endorsed,!
will cause them to be published, which
publication shall be, within itself,a revocation
of the order in relation to Mr. Vallandigham
It will not escape observation that I consent
to the release of Mr. Vallandigharn upon terms
not embracing any pledge l'rotn him or from
others, as to what he will or will not do. I do
this because he is not here to speak for himself,
or to authorize ot lers to speak for him;
and hence I shall expect, that on returning im
he would not put himself practically in antagonism
with the position of his friends. l>ut 1
do it chiefly because I thereby prevail on other
influential gontlemen to so define their position
as to be of immense value to the army?thus
more than compensating for the consequences
of any mistake in allowing Mr. Vallandigharn
to return, so that on the whole the public
safety will not have suffered by it. Still, in regard
to Mr. Vallandigharn and all others, I
must hereafter, as heretofore, do so much as
the public service may seem to require.

FREE MARKET OF CHARLESTON.
'o the Citizens of Charleston and the 1'eople of' South
Carolina generqlly, and to the Farmers and I'lanleis
especially, from the mountains to the seaboard
Tho Freo Market of Charleston, one of tho noblest
id most useful charities extant, after more than a
velvo month of successful operation, is in danger of
ispc-nsion and even final stoppage. It is an instisu- i
on, founded by private patriotism and benevolence, ^
udoreed by the city authorities of Charleston, ami
'cognized and encouraged by tho Legislature of tho 9
late. Its great and highly useful purposes is to suplv

or dead in her service; and upward of eight hunred
families depend on its bounty for their daily bread. I
; has become a great public necessity, and it is the |
nty of c'veiy christian and patriot, male and female, j
eh and poor, young and old, to contribute to its sup- t|
art, in proportion to means and ability?the rich man ,
i:t of bis wealth, the poor man out of his poverty,

our, every little rill trickle its refreshing waters into 1
lis great reservoir of patriotic benevolence, to be
Upensed in God-blessed bounty to tho wives nt.d
lildren, the widows and orphans, tho sisters and otli- ^
r female dependents, of our brave soldiery and seaicn.
The tinal stoppage, or even the suspension, ot
lis charity would be one of the direst calamities that
juld befall our City and State?it would inflict disess,
suffering, and even starvation on numbers now
unfortably fed by its bounty, and perhaps, lead to
read-Mots, in our conservative city, to her serious iniry
and deep disgrace. Con.e, then, fellow citizens,
? the rescue, promptly, liberally, efficiently, and not
ulv save tlie Free Market from destruction or suspen- i
on, but sustain it. in hcalllilul vigor, as a God bless1
and man-blessing institution. Let donatioiis in
icney and in kind pour in lavishly from every quar>r
of tho City and- late; and the consequences will

icat be sustniningly furnished to soldi. r\s and seitlen's
