J- * These resolutions did not emanate v from the council, but were written by ^ one of our most prominent eitiaens, who fias lately taken great interest In the aAtir* of die dty, and who, alnoe " the lorn of Its most active member, has advised and assisted the council piate- ^ rially. . ° ' They wrre very earoeslly and strongly advocated by the Mayor and several 1 other members of the Chty Council, and '' hastily passed without considering anything but the main point, which was to wtthdraw.lhe bill from the Lrgttla- * ture. The objectionable' piHTsThst ' clause In the preamble which states J tliat the bill was introduced in the ' Legislature prematurely and without authority from the City Council. The member who wrote those amend- ® ments— introduced thorii In the coundl, and sent tnem to the Legislature — it la deceased, and it seems to bo the general opinion that this clause was Inf tended to cast odium upon the memory i of the dead. * This erroneous opinion has caused ' y the Indignation of friends, grief and f distress to the widow and bereaved , family, and the scorn and contempt of all well-meaning persons. U Is thla opinion which Ldctire to correct It is a feeling common to ° civilized humanity that when a man l' dies all feeling* against him of nnimosIty, envy or revenge, are burled in the ' grave of forgetfrilncs*, and hU virtues only remembered, and the vile srreteh, possessing only the shape of man, who * would dare insult the sacred memory of the dead, would justly merit the * scorn, loathing and contempt with which he would be regarded by all ;l -ull-o—ulug |s=reo..».

The French ( ' General Azemar affirms tliat in all the ( ware of tlie Bret Empire there were ° only two actions in which troops act- , unlly met at the bayooyt'ajioint. Ono was in 1803, at Amastetten. wlion ' J Oudinotn grenadiers attacked tho ' ° grenadiers of tjie Russian rear-guard, ' and the bayoDet engagement lasted acv- ' enil minutes. The second Instance ' j was g! Lutzen, in 1813, when the * Twenty-fifth regiment of the line. ' ^ piqued that the Emperor see mid to i doubt its prowess, fought the whole 1 ^ day with the bayonet, without burning ' a cartridge. 1 General Azemar argues tliat tho ' if phrase "bayonet encounter," In the 1 e ordinary language of the soldier, mams 1 * "a pressure altogether morel," End ' that the shock of troops, which is or- I * dlnarily called an attack or charge at < r the point of the bayonet, should be 1 more accurately named a "bayonet < e demonistretion."

The biU for a raili- * tary and postal railroad between New York and Washington was then taken '■ up and passed by a vote of 00 to 54. c The River and Harbor Appropriation J Hll was discussed in the evening. Saturday, Feb. 13.— In the Senate the credentials of Reuben E. Fcnton, of New York, were presented.

U • ' Tr'alw. y. Those who have never heard George Francis Train lecture can have no idea of the strange faculty he poaaenaes. lie * is eccentric, eloquent, comical, pathetic, satires!, egotistical, but hla hold on his ^ auditors never relaxes— their interest. ^ in the unprecedented entertainment never flags. There is always a method * in hit madness, and a propaic design in his poetry, which makes it teU with ® wonderful effect upon the mind at which it la directed. His intellect J teems with ideas and his memory with lacts, and they flow from his Upa in a 11 rushing stream, sometimes turbid with exaggaiation, aometimea electrical with n passion, but always frill, living and ° powerful- HH handsome head, animated features, pleasant and penctrat- " log voice, unquestiooahle sincerity, and !r rather peculiar old-faahloned style of * dram, contribute to high ten the dra- * malic character of the general effect. ^ The chief points of his programme are 11 dpatioo of the United Stales from corn- ' England, temperance, morality, wo- |* man suffrage, and the elevation of the 11 laboring Classes. If there is one of * these that ho prefer* to others, we '" suppose it is the Uberation of IreHnd, d but be H apt to discourse of them t- aU at- once. On tlie whole we must 1- pronounce Train to be tbe moat v successful lecturer of the day, aa be la m one of those moat in demand; and should he seriously turn his force* to n politics, he ooold hardly fail to make a 1- great rattling among the dry bones and (. to rise ip spite of tbe politicians, to alii moat any public station "to which he 1, might aspire. — Tki Sm. * Cuba. —Despatches from Havana " state that Captain General Duke had 4 loaned a proclamation withdrawing bit offer of amnesty to tbe rebels and re1 In this preamble be state* th*t tlie * rebels have refused to accept hi. an. - y ncsty, and other persona are continually joining tbero.
