Ma'. Gen. Yakovitch, of the Kassian
army is, one of the few men now living
who saw the great Napoleon on a battle
field. The old general saw the French
emperor at Borodino. At that battle
Yakovitch, then a mere boy, served
with a battery in the grand redoubt
which was the center of the Russian
line. He gives a vivid description of the
battle. Vvben morning broke a sea of
gray mist shut oat the field from view.
TKo voices of the enemy were heard, the
neiftiui of thir horses, and the . rum

Wilmington Review : There is a
growing sentiment in this city in fa
vor of the completion of the railroad
to Onflow county, not only to New
River but across the county to Swains
boro. Last winter a charter for the
purpose of constructing a road up
the coast was granted and its provi
sions are very broad and liberal.
The road can be carried : under the
charter, if so desired, as far North as
the dividing line between North Car
olina and Virginia! and on any route
East or the Wilmington sc Weld on
Railroad.

heard in
the distance, like rain pattering on
withered leaves. It - grew louder and
louder, until it filled the air like the
roar of a stormy sea. All at once a
great wave of bright swords and hel
mets and horses heads came surging up
over the breastworks It was the Im
perial guard. Before the shock of that
mighty wave the itusslan center crum
bled away snauerea wrecks. When
Yakovitch came to his senses ; and
opened his eyes he saw around' him the
cornses of his father am comrades.
Suddenly the trampling of hoofs called.
his attention to a group of gayly dressed
omcers, and Napoleon s staff came rid
ing over the held, lhe young itussian
peered anxiously into their faces. In his
graphic language
"There were the hard faces of Happ
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian,
and Js ansouty, with the saber scar
across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead and bull-dog ; aw of grim old
Ney, the bravest of them all. There,
too, was Murat,- with his white plumes,
and his braided iaket, his long, dark,
curls hanging down his neck, and his
riding-whip in his hand, ;,ust like a cir
cus rider. And then the group parted
suddenly and there was the man him
self in the midst of them, with his face
hard and immovable as marble amid all
that blood and agony, and .' a far-away
look in those cold gray eyes of his, as if
he saw Moscow somewhere up in the
sky, but could see nothing between. ,
"A glorious victory!' cried Murat,
waving his hand. 'What a stir there'll
be among the good folks in Pari3 when
the bulletin arrives? v We've lost half
our army in doing it, though,' growled
IvTey. 'Hadn't we better fall back a
little and-wait for the reinforcements?'
Then Napoleon turned slowly, jnst as
the statue might do, and looked him
full in the face. "Thou advising a re
treat, Michael? That is something new,
indeed: No no falling back now. I
must date -ray, bulletin -from Mosgow.
As for tho army you can;t make, an
omelette without breaking a few eg-js. ' "
Yakovitch sas that when he heard that
he knew that i.od had iors;ken
.Napoleon, for no man save one doomed
to destruction . could have spo en .so
lightly of ihe slaughter of thousands of
brave men. In three months from that
day the- French ourperor was iiyiiig for
his life across tha border with the
Cossacks at his heeld -li-.e hungry wolves.
