THE BATTLE OF EYLAU.
On the day of the battle the weather was
>" tnnw whir.h foil thicklv"in fine I
flakes, froze as it reached the surface of tlie
earth. Our clothes, being covered with this
sort of hoar frost, were stiff and heavy. The
horses could not keep their footing. The sanguinary
conflict 4>aa been maintained since
morning, aud when night set in all was yet undecided.
The Emperor, in a state of the utmost
anxiety and impatience, galloped np and
down the field of battle, braving the grape
shot which was showering in every direction.
He was always to be seen on those points threatning
the greatest danger, well knowing that his
presence would alone work miracles. Mean.?n?inn

dicoted that the enemy was falling back. At
eight o'elock ftopoluon was informed that the
important position of the church, which had
been obstinately disputed, taken and retaken
several tunes^i the course of the day, had beeu
again caried by the enemy. Our troops, whose
numbers were infinitely inferior to those of the
Russians, retired fighting to the church-yard.
At the moment when the orderly arrived with
this intelligence, the Emperor had dismounted
and was personally directing a formidable battery
pointed to the left wing of the Russian army.
lie iustantly leaped on his horse, galloped
otf with the rapidity of lightuing and, throwing
himself into the midst of the buttalious which
were beginning to give way, "Wliat!" he exolninirwi
Vmnilfiil nf RnsKinnH Pennine the
Grand Army! Hear me, my brave fellow a; let
not a Hussion escape from the church! Forward
with the Arlilery! Wo must have the
Church, my lads! wo must have it!"
This address was answered, "Vive 1' Einpereur!"
Forward We must have the church!'
aud all rushed onward rallying in good order.
A few paces from us we espied on old gren
aaiei, ms luce was niacaeueu oy gunpowuer,
and the blood was streaming down bis clothes;
his left arm had beeu caried away by a bouib'
shell. The man was hurrying to fall into the
tanks.
"Stay, stay, my good fellow/ said the Emperor;
"go and get your wound dressed?go to
the 'ambulance."
"I will," replied the grenadier, "when we
have taken the church," and we immediately
lost sight cf him. 1 perceived the tears gliteringin
the Emperor's eyes, and he turned aside
to conceal them.
At ten o'cloca that night the church was ours.
The Emperor, who was thoroughly exhausted
tottered with fatigue as he sat on his horse.
He ordered the firing to cease; und the army
reposed, surrounded by the enemy's bivouuek.
Oor headquarters were established on the plateau,
behind Kylau, in the midst of the inlautry
of the guard.
44 All is going on admirably, said the Emperor
to nie as he entered the tent 44 'J'hoso
men have fought bravely!" Without undressing,
he threw himself on his bed, and in a few
moments was sound asleep.
At four in the morning the Emperor was
again on his horse. lie surveyed the ground,
arranged ills plans, posted the artillery, harangued
the troops, and rode past the front rank
of each regiment At day-break he gave orders
that the attack should commence simultaneously
011 all points. About eleven o'clock
the snow, had fallen incessantly during the
whole morning, increased with such violence
that we could scarcely perceive any object at
the distance of ten paces. After the lapse of
some little time, a Russian column, amounting
iug to between live and six thousand men, was
discerned; during the night this column had received
orders to join the main body of the army,
and had missed the wav. The troons. who
were marching forward hesitating and without
scouts, had strayed to within the distance of a
musket shot of our camp. The Einperor, standerect,
with his feet in the stirrups, and his
glass at his eye, was the first to perceive thut
the black shadows, slowly defiling through the
veil of snow, must belong to the Russian Reserve.
He instantly directed towards them
dwo b'attaflions of the grenadiers of the guard,
i commanded by Gen. Dorsenne. Whilst the
grenadiers advanced in silence, tho squadron
on duty near the Emperor turned the column,
attacked it in the rear, and drove it forward i
on our grenadiers, who received it with fixed bayonets.
The first shock was terrible to the c
Russians. But soon comparing their numeri- t
cal strength with the small number of troops i
opposed to them, the officers drew their swords,
rallied their men, and all defended themselves i
with great courage. Atone moment our gren- i
adiors appeared to flag, when a young officer ]
darted from the ranks, exclaiming in aloud (
voice, ' Courage my brave comrades! follow f
me, and the Russian colors are oursP Fie rush- \
ed forward, sword in hand, followed by his f
company, and penetrated _the compact centre t
of the Russian column. This unexpected as- <
sault broke their ranks, and our grenadiers resolutely
entered the passage opened to tliem
by the brave AuzonL
" This is one of tho most glorious achievements
of this memorable day," said the Emperor,
who bad l>een an eye-witness to the heroic
conduct of Auzoni. He summoned him to
his presence, and then addressed him?* Captain
Auzoni, you well deserve the honor of commanding
my veteran moustaches. You have
won an officer's cross and an endowment of
2,000 francs. You were made a captain at the
beginuing of the campaign, andl hope you
will return to Paris with a still higher rank. 1
A man who earns his honors on the field of i
battle, stands very high in my estimation. I ]
present ten crosses to your company/' he ad- i
ded, turning towards the soldiers. \
Enthusiastic shouts rent the air, and the same i
men advanced to meet the enemy's fire with a
degree of courage and enthusiasm which it is i
impossible to describe. Two hoars after, the j
victory was ours. The enemy's forces, routed f
and dispersed, retreated in the utmost disorder, i
abandoning their wounded, their baggage, and )
their parks of artillery. t
But the day's work was not ended for the t
Emperor. According to custom, he went over 1
the field of battle to estimate loss, and to hur- t
ry the removal of the wounded. It was truly
horrible to survey the immense extent of ground f
over which the snow of the preceding day was \

A quartermaster of dragoons, grievously
wounded, perceived the Emperor passing at a 1
few paces from him. "Turn yonr eyes this i
way, please your majesty," said the man; '* I
believe I have got my death wound, and shall t
soon be in another world. But, no matter for <
that, Vive l'Empereur!"
" Let this poor fellow be immediately con- t
veyed to the ambulance," said Napoleon. "Raise <
him np, and commend him to to the care of i
Larrey." Large tears rolled down the cheeks '
of the dragoon when he heard the Emperor '

"that I had a thousand lives to lay down for t
your majesty." <
Near a battery which bad been abandoned t
by the enemy, we beheld a singular picture, t
and one of which a description can convey j
but a faint idea. About one hundred and fif- i
ty or two hundred French grenadiers were t
surrounded by a quadruple rank of Russian a 1
Both parties were weltering in a river of blood, <
amidst fragments of cannon, muskets, swords, 4

most determined fury, for every corpse exhibited
numerous and horrible wounds. A feeble 1
cry of " Vive rEinpereur" was beard to ema- 1
irnte from this mountain of the dead, and all t
eyes were instantly turned to the spot whence .1

handsome countenance was overspread with j
a livid hue of death. Ho recognised the e
Emperor, and'in a feeble, faltering voice, exclaimed?'God

He turned a supplicating glance at the Emperor,
and then uttering the words, " To dear t
France?my last sigh!" he fell stiff and cold. \
JURY ROOM ON WEBSTER'S TRIAL. [
One of tbe jurors who sat in judgment upon j
the life of Dr. Webster, has given in tbo Boston ^
Traveler the following interesting statement of
the conduct of the jury. It is due to the jury ^
that they should be heard, as public opinion is ?
much divided upon their verdict: a
The jury was composed of twelve men, from f
as many different branches of the meclianical
and mercantile professions; they were from dif- t
ferent religioas denominations, and their ages t
varied from 28 to GG years. They were inen i
whom I should designate as possessing good l
sound common sense?men capable of judging
?of discerning?of appreciating evidence and
estimating its importance. The jurors, after
they had become bettor acquainted with each
other, and as the evidence began to bear with
crushing weight upon the prisoner, and the "net
work of implicated circumstances" seemed to
encircle him, felt strongly the need of that wisdom
wkich cometh from above, to guide and'
direct their minds aright in their most momentous
and responsible situatiou.
T* *1.? .1? e /...i %

ever remember with pleasure) proposed to the 1
jury that they should have religious services ev- i
ory morning. The proposition was cheerfully <
responded to, and ever after that time the voice i
of praise and prayer daily ascended, as we trust ]
from sincere hearts, to the throne of infinite ?
wisdom and mercy. I need not say that the ?
burden of every prayer was for wisdom to guide '
and direct unto a right decision, and for bless- '
ings most rich and precious to descend upon j
buv ?/iiouiivi mm 1140 niiiiuivu Kiiuiij'. *
I now come to the olpslng part of this mo< ]
mentous trial. When the witnesses for the de- <
fence had given in their testimony, and the couu- i
sel for the prisoner announced the evidence 011 ]
their part closed, a feeling of pain and anguish 1
nust have como over the mind of every juror t*

vorld, with nothing but the eye of Omniscient

sponeibility, so unwilling were they to'come to ct
he result which all felt they must come to, that ry
JO to 40 minutes were spent ere anything was ca
lone?when at last the voice of tire Foreman
?'as heard calling them to order and reminding g,
hem of duty, however painftd, and when they w
lad taken their seats around the table?then it jj,
ivas that one of the Jurors rose snd said, "Mr.

ng and painful part of our arduous duty. The M
various articles which were put into the case ^
were examined by the jury, and particularly jn
hose things which seemed to bear most strong- M
y against the prisoner. Hie final decision of m
