A short time since a pair of this species of Eagle paid a visit to the upper part of Mecklenburg couiitv, iu the vicinity of Da- I vidson College. It is but seldom this noble I bird strays ihto the Southern States.

So, also, the pardon and release of Mr. Thrasher were obtained by Mr. liar ringer before he received a line from Mr. Webster on the subject, and before the ar rival of the special bearer of despatches re lating to it from the United States.

The French gained po-se--ion ot La Have Saint. and retained this po t lor some time, till they Were at last diiveti out ot it by shells. Cavalry charges were then made against tbe Jiritish squares, but at length abandoned by the French with great loss. It was now seven o clock, and the action la-ted for eight hours. Napoleon had not coiiqu, red, nor h id he bi en defeated : meanwhile thr Prus sian had arrived in great -treu tl., aud were preparing to take a signal part in the parte ,!, termiin d to bring up hi- re-enc, the old guard, and to torm it iu tw o columns under his oan eye, m ar the bottom of the dtclivity ot La I'm lb: Alliance, and put f .rth . , - .1 r.. 1 -a . recover t,i sitiking lortuncs.

England and France ' wept like mothers together. A v i itor, who ' pas.-ed over the field on the following day,! states that aa he approached it, the fir-t thing that struck him at a di-tanee was the quantity of capa atid bats strewed over the 1 ground. It appeared as il it had been cov ered with crow .. 'I he field it-elf seem flood ed with blood. The number of dead horses aud men baffled computation. The peasant ry employed in burying the dead generally -tripped the bodies lir.-t and thereby gained vast booty. The track over which the guard moved, and over which th'-y tied, was still covered with their spoil, and marked bvthe trace- of hor-es, the wheels of cannon and the deeper furrows of bombs and shells. A thousand French lay dea l on this spot, and the quantity of hol-ter-, standard holders, bridb s, straps and girths denoted a fearful coiirti, t of cavalry. 'T he ground (teemed quite cut to pieces with the struggling of the hor-es fe, i he well know n caps of the grenadiers of the French guard lay yet in c oti-i.lerabb; numbers, with the rags of the unitornis, iind pieces of tai tan, and black os trich feathers, the plaids and plumes of Scot laud.
