Wthe cridgea sier 1tory of NapoWeon upon the fLodi may be considered anmat remarkable achieve.. hat diatinguished his military o 1He was at that period lb ia WIkyear, and had but recently received $ coMmifsion as commander-in-riief ofthe army of Italy. Within the-brief K s"astof thirty days from the opening .-, hi, his first oampaig/ he had defrmed the Austrians at Montenotte, - il3kIclmo and Mondovi, ad compelled thetn to evacuate Piedmont, and retire to the oposite bank of the Adds. The Adds Is a rapid and doe) river, ahd is eraoaed at the town of Lodi by a wooden bridge called the "Bridge of'Lodi." On the left bank of this river the A ustrians, under the command of Beaulieu, a vet. eran of '76, halted and posted them. belves In their strength to arrest the progrs of the victorious Napoloon. They planted thirty piece. )f artillery upon the bridge, and statinied 12,000 infantry and 4,000 cava ry upon the groutnd to act iii etfectivo co-operation. ith such formidable means orderence, nothing but instant death appeared to await any demonstratiom on the part or -,the French to force the passage or the bridge. Napoleon reached Lodi in the afterhoon of the 10th of May, 1796, at. tended by his best generals and choicest troops,. and without hesitation imme. diately'resolved to assail the A ustilan position.. A few moments antecedent he delivered the following laconic addres to his soldiers: "Frenchmen! hereia starvation, there is the enemy beyond him plenty, March!" *IIis cavalry we're ordered to cross at a place where the Adda was said to be fordable, and fall upon the Austrian flank, mean. while Bonrparte, at the hend of 3,000 chosen grenadiers under the shelter of the walls or the town, waited, until the appearance or the cavalry, who had crossed the ford, had disquieted the . Austrian flank; at this critical moment a word of command from Bonaparte brought the *'nadiers upon the bridge; they rushed' 'ard with loud shouts of Vice la Republique, but their appearance was the signal for thq opening of the Austrian artillery upon their ranks. The vollies which issued from these fiekiceces were most terrific. At one time, the French grenadiers, unable to resist the dreadful storm, appeared for an instant to hesitate, but Lannes, - onaparte and Berthier hurried to the head of the column, and by their presence, gallantly renewed 'the re. ,solution of the soldiers, and carried the bridge. The artillerymen were quickly bayonetted and the Austrian army put to flight, losing in their retreat 'upwards of twenty guns, and a thousand iprisoners, and perhaps two thousand Ipore wounded and slain. It has been *Id thatno praise was more grateful to 1 eat of Napoleon than that which a a do . him as "hero of Lodi's 4 ownoa odi; It is five hundred feet in 4 ~ length, .d built entirely of oak, and it * supp6rted by forty-two sets of iressels. The railing wvhich flanks its sides is -ather low, being only two rails high The bridge has no curve or arch, and is ievel enough for the passage of c railroad. With the exception of the middie portion of it, which was destroyed in the Italian revolution of 1848, 'the brigdo remains in its original conrlition, entire. it is let by contract to Signor Guiseppe Pogliani, who pays sixteen hundred dollars per annum for it, and~ he collects from every pedestrian onn cent, and from every carriage or otheri .vehicle sixteen cents, toil. The bridge of Lodi is well regulated and gravelled, and forms a very pleasni promenade. On holidays it constitutes the favorite resort of the people. The country along the banks of thme iver is very beautiful, and the air is walways moved by fresh wvinds. The Adda is a very swvift river, and runs with a strong current; after a rain storm it swells and become-g quite deep; on such occasions its depth would average twventy feet. A large stone statue of "Saint Giovanni Nepomices now stand., upon the Lodi aide of the bridge. This saint was, and is still, the protector of the river Adda. On the (lay of the battle thme cannonade was so furious that the saint could not protect even his own statue from destrucotior. It wvas knocked down, had its heel knocked off one arm badly fractured, both legs broken, besides sustaining several severe coat usions on .ite fage. When the conflict was over aomie prous persons collected the limbs, wilred them to the body, and restored the tatue to its old place. ~ .l.~on e opposite bank of the bridge, teAustrians were engaged, hetoll gatherer, Sig. Pogliani. Yere stand five or six small low stone houses an old stone tower in the middle, - with a tall lightning rod rising ab~ove Itop. These old buildings still hear shke harks of the terribile scenes through wl'tfh they passed. Even the sacred effigy of the Virgin Ma ry did not escape th ire; In was pierced in two places by snesket balls. in passing over te bridge I counted * my number of step., and fotund themn to li (ftrnm embanitermnt to embankment) *two Kbundred and s'ry; as I d id so, I plotured to myself, how fearful these ateps mdbt have been, when taken in the very face of the thundering discharges of the Austrian artillery. But the genius of Boneparte triumphed over -A1t'ty opposition, andi borA his advancing Teglons in triumph throughm the sterma. It appears to have been the settled conviot Ion of this great commander, tha t field and decisive movements in militarv -ppations Were conducive, in the endi, t!heconomy of life in an army.

O, The merry,'merry sleigh bells, how th joyously they jingle, through wood and til delli-How much quicker beatathe heart of of the maiden, as she listens to the dp. in broathing sound! There is a romance i and entlsiasm about a sleigh ride in m the country, that pertains to no other hi species of locomotion. When you w have a pair of spirited horses, a neat el little sleigh, a warm Beafl'to robe, and ot a warm.hearted little Yankee girl II nestled'in it close by your ide, it is A porfectly irresistible. There is music w In the silvery sound of the bells as they a ring out clear and full in the frosty air; o; there is poetry in the bright stars, that sparkle with a lustre that almost rivals of the light that beams from the eyes of to the little angel at your side; there is p love in her heart, and yours, and where d there is music, poetry, and love, there im must be happiness. Who could resist h the ineVtable impulse to make lovo to u a rosy lipped, bright eyed, huerry. v maiden, under such soul.subduing in. if fluences? The most unsusceptible of fl human hearts would be unatle to resist c th inelting influence of the tender fi passion under such trying circumnstan v ces. Old bachelors that have for many years remorselessly withstood the a golden arrows of Cupid, aiied at them through bright eyes, have finally during a sleigh ride, "surrendered at discretion,' acknowledged the supremacy of woman, and become useful membersofsociety. t Bit I have a story to tell, though t a brief one. In the "Old Key Stone t State,' they have capacious sleighs, & every thing there being designed after a a broad brimmed Quaker model, some. what modified perhaps, by Dutch ideas of taste and comfort. It so happened 8 that a demure little Quakeress, who 9 concealed in her meek blue eyes, p a world of fun and mischief, had two e ardent lo-ers, uponi neither of whom she had consented to bestov her hand , and heart. A sle'ighing party was S projected in the village, Und the two rivals contrived to secure their seats, one on each side of tihe coqtettish litle Quakeress, their object being no doubt I "to prevent the winds of leaven from visiting her cheek too roughly.' This lady was provided with a most n capacious muff, 'whereby hangs a tale.' C Confidential conversation must of course t have been rather limited uder the cir f cumstnnces, and it occurred to one of r the rivals, (who by the way, was a firm believer in magnetism anI charming, especially where the little Quaker beauty was concerned) that if he could contrive to put himself in 'rapport, or t 'spiritual' communication with his fair friend, by intro4ph his hand ! ho r ne~oW .V2As ryis~l-ai timnidl& 'ap 'rbahed tie mulf, that en. veloped the delicate digitals of the Quakeress it trembled as if under the ffects or galvanism. There was at first some preliminary toying and scarcely perceptile approaches, then an almost indistinguishable pressure, and fimnally a tremendous squeeze! The first kiss oflove, lhas tired the heart and hand of rmany a poet.lover wpith rapturous enthusiasm; but that first. wvarm thrilling pressure of two harnds which have met for the first time in love's embirace, seems to complete the magnetic circle, and to formn a tele. graphic connelction, which t ransmnits from heart to hea rt the lightning of love! The perfe~ct b'eaiitude of our hero, wve shall not attempt io describe, sulfice it to say that his whole soul was growing in the tips of his fingers, anid there holing bl issful comm union with thme spirit oft he sweet little Quake. resg. But happiness is proverbially brie . A las! that knowledge shoul'd e'er bring sorrow,. Our hero proved the I ruth of that oit-q uoedl linme, "Where ignorance ise bti.., 'ie fully to be wise." The littlhe Quakeress put a suddein extinlguishier upon ithe new b~orn horpes of our hero, by sayinig, while her soft blue eyes were spairkiing with fire and mischief, 'friend s, if you havye sq ueezed each oilier's handes long emioiigh, I will now troule you for the use of my muff!' The ludicrous truth at once flsshmed across the minds of the rivals-they had bteen caressing each othier's 'pmes' for the last hal f hou r! The qicksil ver of ( their hopes fi-il Ifair below zero. Bumt ihey had been equally 'done,' hith conmphetel v] 'sold,' so that was some consolaiion nt least.

Pecavvi: I The Legislature of this State has C taken its position defmuitelv im thle adop-) e tion of the resolutions reported b~y the o Select Commit tee to the I I',ums if)l)elc- h, gates on Tuesday last. Virginia has t< (done but poior justice to her anienrt re. nowvn, by any of leer p~roceceings touch. ing this great controversy. Her wholeu legislat ion upon the subject, from tile cI first moment that th~' e abol itionists h~e.

Will they e up a proper sense ofour rights, and their 'n duty? If we trace the history of Is subject from its origin to the present v no, we shall find that the pretensions the abolitionists have never in any stance been relaxed, and that they ve uniformly claimed more and are, precisely in proportion as we ve receded or acquiesced. They ill now see in the feebleness and in. liciency of our measures, proof that ir self-respect is gone, or that we ive rio confidence in our own strength. nd they have a right to think so; for e have evinced more dread of collision with them than rega:d for ir own rights ard honor. The time had arrived when the people Virginia and the South should no nger be deluded by false hopes, nor ace their reliance on moderate expe ents. The only alternate was an :nominious submission on the one and, or on the other, a resort to mas. res fully adequate to our protection, hatever consequences they might volvo. Party designs and party in uences have caused our legislators to boose the former. They have sacrificed r the sake of the Union everything hich makes it a blessing to them. Oh! Union, how many aggressions re committed in thy name! - All Explained at Last. 1M'r. A. J. Davis, in his work enti ed "The Philosophy of Spiritual In. 3rcourse," thus lays open the mys. -ry which has heretofore enveloped )me of the "spirits" in Rochester ud elsewhere: "I now proceed, to explain how pirits can move a table or other or anic substances : A spirit, without ossessing any of the grossness of the arthly form, is yet organized in its rinciples and functions precisely as re are in this life ; and when it, a pirit, desires to move a table, (by ray of manifesting its nearness,) it oncentrates its own magnetic and owerrul elements so as to take hold, s it were, of the magnetism of the tmosphere. In like manner this at mospherical magnetism takes hold of lid electricity of the air, and the lat er is then concentrated upon the ar icle whilh it is the spirit's design to move. Atmospherie magnetism and lectricity are, therefore, the nerves nd muscle which spirits employ rhen manifesting their presence to lie material senses o&' believing, as rell as skeptical individuals. Hence rhen "rapings art,4ard, and when cerfebn that J mischievons or kgiia :.ii producinj. u y way of imitationa, t'n~ gy7 e ectly reasonable to oniclude"' 3 , itherto explained, tiiat a frienav spirit from the spirit-land is produe. ng electrical, rolling concussions, up mn some material substance, throngh he intcrmediate agancies of terrestri il magnetism and electricity. The nodus operandi of these phenomena [ design not now to detail; because at resent, it is deemed sufficient for nankind to know that it is both nat irally and philosophically possible for ipirits to approach and influence ieavy arid gross bodies of matter." A fter such a lucid exposition no mec can possibly lbe at a loss to account 'or these manifestations -provided bhey understand it.
