Miscellaneous. From the Savannah Georgian. Louis Philippe. Reflections of the most interesting character-are suggested by the present visit to this country of the Prince de Joinville, third son of the King of the French. More than foitv years have passed since his father was here, seeking an asylum from the violence of his cle of European politics, and three thousand k;. ,n..nirv. he hesitated Dot to comply wither request, aod disguising birn self as a Dane, he sailed Sept. 24lb, 1796, from Hamburg, in the ship America, -npl. Ewiiig for.Pbiadelphia. This was the dark est period of his life. His detracted country his abused mother his persecuted famny his murdered father were behind him ; au unknown land untried friends desolate solitude, and threatened indigence before him. Treated by the captain as a runaway West India gambler, employed by a passenger as an interpreter, and tossed about upon the sea of waters and the sea of troubles, he bore up against all, with a manliness" that shewed the firmness of his mind and the energy of his nature. . In October, he reached Philadelphia, and being joined in February by his two brothers, the Duke of Montpensieur, and Count Beau- jolais, who had had a tedious passage of niue- ty-tnree oays in me oweotsn snip jupuer, irom Marseilles, tney took up ineir residence ai tue house of a Spanish Consul, and mingled m thft sop iefv of the cit At the invitation of VVashiuGton, then President, and men tem porarily, residing at Philadelphia, the Seat of Government, they visited him at JWount Ver non, and shared his kindly hospitalities. Learning their desire to travel West, Wash ington prepared for thero au itinerary, and furnished them with many letters of introduc tion ; and, adopting the customary mode of travelling on horse-back, wilh saddle-bags, they started on their journeyl - - .They crossed the Alleghanies to Knoxville aud Nashville, and then turned northward to Pitts burg, thence up to Erie and Buffalo, and thence to the Falls of Fiagara. From this place they came down through Canaudaigua, a region of country then almost uninhabited, and with roads almost impassible. Embarking upon Seneca lake, they journeyed on foot from its head to Tioga point, a distance of twenty five miles, each carrying his baggage on his bickj and thence they descended the Susque hanuah to Philadelphia. The following letter addressed to his sister, the Princess Adelaide, will give some idea of their adventure ; it is dated " Philadelphia, August 14, 1797. 'I hope you have received the letter which we. wrote you. from Pittsburg, two. months since. We were then in the midst of a great journey, -which we finished fifteen days ago. It took us four mouths. We travelled during that time, a thousand leagues, and always up on the same horses, except the last hundred leagues, which we performed partly by water, partly on - foot,' partly upon hired horsjs and partly in 'the stage, or public conveyance. We have seen many Indians, and we re mained several days in their country. They received us with great kindness ; aud our na tional character contributed not a little to this good reception, for the love they French Af ter the n, we found the Falls of Niagara, which I wrote you trem Pittsburg we were about to visit, the most interesting object upon our journey. 5 It is tbe most surprising and ma jestic spectacle. I nave ever seen. It is-a hundred and thirty-seven (French) feet high and the volume of water is immense, since it is the whole river St. Lawrence which precip itated itself at this place. I have taken a sketch of it, and I intend to paint a gonache from it, which my dear little sister will cer tainly see at her tender mother's ; but it is not yet commenced, and it w ill take me much time, for truly it is no small work. To give you an idea ot the agreeable manner in which they travel in this country, I will tell you my dear sister, that we passed four own couuirymen. ne uie oi l.ouis rnuippe teen nights m the woods, devoured by all illustrates the extremes of existence extreme kinds of insects, after being wet to the bone was early placed under the most emiment in structors, and at the juvenile age of eighteen. as Duke oT Chattres, took command of the 14th Regiment of Dragoons which bore his name, .i I iino tlmn --- i . .

Such changes constitute. the ro mance of history, and assure us that trtith is often stranger than fiction. - Could the son as be journeyed in our midst look back forty four years with the eyes of his father, to the days of Washington, to tbe infancy of our in stitutions before the first steam boat plough ed our waters, or the first Rail Road tracked our land ; or could the father, calling up the scenes he once saw, gaze with his sou's eyes upon our now teeming population, and behold iu the then solitudes ofthe West, cities, States and territories, with millions of stirring, bust ling inhabitants ; could he. in the vicinity of Cauandaigua, again meet Lord Arburton, who then so bitterly complained ofthe roads, that he doubted whether Niagara itself, would compensate his toil ; could he again visit the spot, then unbuilt, unplanned, which now is the capital of our nation, the seat of our gov ernment, he would believe himself, not in America of 1795 and '6, but in a new world, where every feature was strange and every scene novel. So rapid is the march of im provement, . that it is only by guiding our selves bysome such land-marks of thought as these, that we can sufficiently realize the re- centness of our origin," or the sublimity of pur increase. We say sublimity, for the contrast we now . present, to our condition seventy years back, is one of the most sublime mani festations of government in the history ofthe woild. And yet we have but begun our ca reer. We are still in the infancy of political being. . Long may we . realize as we turn backward to the past, and look on to the fu ture, the beautiful prophecy ofthe poet : This land is like an Eagle, whose young, gaze; Feeds on the noon-tide beam; whose golden plume Floats movtleFS on the.torm ; and in the blaze Of sun-rise loams, whon earth is wropt in gloom; An epitaph of jjory for the tomb Of murdered Europe !" penury and suffering; extreme wealth and without being able to dry ourselves, and eat ing pork, and sometimes a little salt beef and corn bread.".

It was full Satisfied that his mother and sister had found ot incidents and vicissitudes ; mutations of places of safety, he trusted to his own ener gies , and strong in the resources; of his mind, he threw himself upon them, and, the youth of 21, the Lieutenant (general in the b rench Army, a prince ofthe royal hoiue of Bourbon, depended on his early education for his daily support. It shows how thorough had been that education, and how well he had improved his opportunities, that when he quitted Reich enau, he received the most honorable testimo nials of his learning and ability. The change was great, but his strong mind was equal to the vicissitude. His father, the Duke of Or leans, having been beheaded in 1793, the young exile assumed the title of his deceased parent, aud sought refuge in the North of Europe. After a variety of adventures, in teresting, dangerous,, and romantic in the ex treme, he received from hU mother a letter, urging him in the most touching manner, to save himself from the gathering storm of in furiated France, by hastening to America. This, was the only price, at which could be purchased the liberty of his mother and bro thers, who were confined in the prison of Marseilles ; and though it deranged all his plans, and threw him entirely out of the'eir- fortune; escapes, perils and adventures. And now he is upon the throne of France, and his son is upon the ancient footsteps of his father. Since the visit of Louis Philippe, France 1 I , 1 - . -r . . nas oceu revolutionized ; XNapoiean has aris en ; seized the reins of Empire ; conducted his nation to the pinnacle of glory, and fallen to rise no more ; and convulsed, distracted, and war-blasted Europe, has settled down in peaceful . repose. The poor stranger, who. tor want ot money, could not leave an Ameri can city filled with yellow fever, and who had to teach for his support, is now the richest man in Europe, wilh millions and tens of millions at his disposal. The refugee, flee ing before the assumed power ofthe First Consul and the Emperor, now sits with a Bonaparte's splendor on his throne. " This country, once traversed in poverty, and peril, and weariness, by the persecuted sire, is now visited by his royal son, in prince ly character and glory ; nay more, that very son. and the very ship which he commands, were commissioned to transport from their solitary resting place, the remains of that co lossal genius of military power, and bring back to his own1 loved Fiance,, its idolized - m - th snirifs of the writer, and the days of the' ensuing week rolledon, the play progressing slowly, scene Dy sceue, .uum very morning preceding me penornmuLc, u at rehearsal the last act stilt remained uncom pleted!

Evening atriv, and the boisterous impa tience of a crowded audience began to be manifested before the daring young aspirant made his appearance in the theatre to dress for Aaron Burr, which leading character he had determined to sustain himself. The ac tors were furnished with further manuscript, but the last scene was still unfinished! He said Hwas no matter; he designed to conclude the play himself, in a manner not callmg for colloquy with the other characters, and he could extemporize the catastrophe! He did so. The curtain fell upon .the tragedy accom panied by all ihe usual demoustraiious of full success, and the author was called forward to receive the congratulations of his audience, yet the last scene ofthe fifth act of the tragedy of Aaron Burr, Emperor 1 of Mexico, has to this dnv nerer been written. We thiuk that will do to tell alongside the Pizarro story. It is true. From beginning lo ind it is Iiterallv correct.

From the N. O. Picayune. The Green Room. Jl Hot-House Tragedy. There is a rather apocryphal anecdote in current, circulation among all who have ever " smelt the lamps," relative to that highly popular play of Pizarro, the last act of which was actually written in the theatre, during the progress of its fiist re presentation, and the sheets of manuscript, hastily sanded, were sent down one after the other to the actors, who had barely time (as the story goes) to swallow the words behind the wings and rush on to the stage. We call the anocdote apocryphat, and are inclined to think it is so, although our story (now first told iu print) is ten times more remarkable, and conclusively argues that the reminiscence about Pizarro i.s by no means impossible. From the days of JEschylus to the present dazzliug asceudaucy of George Jones, the tragedian, we venture to say there never oc curred a parallel for the knowu and positive fact we are going to relate; an J we know full well, too, that the first impression of every reader will be by no means complimentary to our veracity, when we bluntly assert, that a five act tragedy, iu blank verse, and abound ing in genuine poetry, was conceived, writ ten, rehearsed and successfully played within an interim ofonly fourteen days ! the author himself newly escaped from college, making a theatrical debut on the occasion aud enact ing his own hero ! Now the reader may whistle just as long a whistle as he pleases, aud we distinctly wish him to indulge at pleasure his iucredu lity, as he will thus afford us greater effect upon our triumphant substantiation of the fact, lie is also to understand that this was no amateur business, got up by precocious juveni lians, for the edification of partial and indul gent friends, but the exploit took place upon the boards ofthe St. Emanual-strcet Theatre, Mobile, under the management of Ludlow & Smith, before an audience of a thousand per sous, not more than five years ago. The author was a-young lawyer, then working like a Trojan upon a monthly magazine of his own starting, aiTd depending solely upon his own pen. In an accidental conversation with Mr J. ' M. Field, one evening, he re marked that excellent material for a tragedy might be found in the then newly published life of Aaron Burr, by a single use ofthe poet's license, in carrying out the stupendous scheme of Burr's ambition, aud placing him, as Emperor, upon tire throne of Mexico ! It was a bold and highly fascinating conception, and J. M. fully agreed with him that the plan was every way susceptible of tragic as well as melo-dramatic effect. The young enthusiast then proposed to write the" play as a present to Field, to play for his approaching bene fit. , ' My dear fellow, I regret that it is impos sible," said Jo ; "my night is already fixed, and my benefit must positively take place in just two weeks from this time." " How long do you require to have a five act piece for study?" was the questioning re ply of the ardent young genius. ' A week, at least, to do it any kind of justice," returned Jo. " You shall have it." What ! write a tragedy in a week." If you think me u fool or a boastern de cline the proposition." O, my dear fellow, you must'nt by the Lord, you must acknowledge it will be rather an extraordinary performance at any rate ; but, if you are in earnest it will, be a valuable piece of service," and I pledge myself to pro duce the piece in representation, if you pro duce it to me in manuscript," said Jo, quite sure that the whole matter would be forgotten in e morning. " Thou the thing is done," was the con clusive pronunciation of the embryo drama tist, rising from his seat, and continuing, I am now varm, and have a thought or two that must'nt be lost in dreaming; I'll fliu off an act before I go to bed. : RnnH -'o"1 n Jo. " Good night," said Jo, giving a whimsi cal squint over his cigar after his young lite rary friendaccompanied by a sidelong glance at an empty glass, and an enquiring peep at the condition of a bottle by its side. A week afterwards appeared a number of the monthly journal of which the dramatist was editor, and m itcame part off the new tragedy of " Aaron. Burr l Jo, much to bis suprise and pleasure, discovered it was a serious thing, and at once' cast the peace round for study. But then a : listless time e From the National Gizctte. ' Prompt Obedience; or, How to Skin a Horse. AN ORIGINAL ANECDOTE. Upwards of fifty years ago, there lived in the then Far West, a venerable revolutionary soldier distinguished for his scrupulous mteg rity and gentlemanly bearing. Rank iu the army had given to his deportment a lofty air, and this added to a well known irritability of temper and impatience under contradiction insured implicit obedience to all his com inands from the people about his person or employed for his occasions. J he colonel be ing engaged one day in ploughing one of his fields, his horse became fractious and disobe dient, and spite of all the management of his master, would not be governed. This so en raged the irritable veteran, that with a heavy blow he felled the auimal lo the ground, where he lay gasping and apparently dying. The loss of his horse somewhat cooled the choler of his -owner, who returned to his dwelling re gretting the fruits of his rashness. Iu the neighborhood lived a fellow who had served under the a lone! and who well knew his in firmity of temper; this man lived by doing odd jobs, and was always ready to obey his old commander s orders whatever they might be, sure of always being liberally paid for his work. For him the colonel seut, unci on the fellow's appearing, said to him: "Go to the south field aud skin that cursed brute, old Sparkle." "Yes, your honor," answered the willing man of all work. Several hours elapsed and the colonel's fit of anger had passed off, when his messenger appeared before him. , "Well, how much do you charge?" said the colonel. "One dollar, your honor," replied his hum ble fellow soldier. "One dollar! One devil what do you mean one dollar for skinning a horse!' "But," replied the jobber, "your honor don't consider what a deal of time it toolc for me to catch him." "Catch him, you villaiu," exclaimed the veteran in a tone of rising anger, "I didn't tell you to catch him, but to skin him." "That's true sir," said the soldier, "but you know I couldn't skin him till I catched aud killed him." This was enough; the swelling choler ofthe hasty colonel instantly mounted to an ungov ernable height, and the poor soldier was glad to escape from his presence with whole limbs, "convinced that his wisest course was never again to mention in the colonel's hearing his singular job of catching and skinning old Spaikle. An Anecdote. Frederick of Prussia had no opinion of phrenology, and one day he seut tor the proiessor, and dressing up a high wayman and a pick-pocket in uuiforms aud orders, he desired the phrenologist lo examine their heads, and give hi opinion as to their qualifications. i be savant did so, and turn ing to the King, said, "Sire, this person," pointing to the highwayman, " whatever he may be. would have been a great general, had he been employed. As for the other, he is quite in a different line. He may be, "or if he is not, he would make, an admirable financier." The King was satisfied that there was some truth in the science. "For," as he very rightly observed, "what is a general nut a nigowayman, and what is a financier but a pickpocket?" The Destiny of Scribblers.

They are in two separate kettles, and the devil has lighted a huge fiie under that belonging to a man of letters, while the light fingered hero is only enjoying a gentle degree ; of warmth. The author reproaches Satan with his partiality, but the latter justifies himself thus: ."

It is this: they dig at some distance fiom the body of a favorite tree, until they find a root, which they cut off. The part disjointed from ihe tree is turned up so as to appear above the ground. It scuds .foith shoots the first season, and bears in a few years fruit precisely like that upon the parent.

Professor Jackson, in one of his lectures Boston, in illustrating the rnanner in which soils might be rendered fertile, said that "A farm within knowledge blowing sand or pine barren, and almost hopeless, on which ten bushels of corn to the acre could scarcely be grown, oy tne judicious application of ashes had been made to produce forty aud fifty bush els to the acre. We do not question the cor rectness ot Dr. Jackson's statement. Our observation has convinced us that on sandy sson, wnn me exception of clay marl, there is nothing more beneficial iu the application to such soils than ashes; and very fortunately, umess uncommon quantities ot acid exists in such soils, leached are nearly as beneficial as --.,1 I 1 A I . uiueacuea ones. Asues do what lime cannot they render the soil more tenacious nf ma ture, and although their action is not as prompt or euicieiu on cold sour soils, they are for the reason assigned considered as valuable on light sandy ones. Of this fact, the fanners of Jong island and JNew Jersey are well aware, and in the gathering and application of ashes find a certain source of profit. " ' Specimen of Female Industry.
