July 1, says:
When we reached the scene of M. Blon-
din's exploit, about a mile below the Falls,
yesterday afternoon, at half past three
o'clock, an immense crowd of people thronir-
ed the banks of the river on either side for
somo distance above and below the cable.
The end on the American side was in an
incloseure known as White's Pleasure
Grounds, which are much frequented on
account of the admirable points for viewing
the r alls on the one hand, and the feuspeiv
sion Bridge and River scenery on the other.
A thousand or moro people paid admission
to the grounds, which would afford good
stand-points to witness the feat for many
thousands, and M. Blondin here gave one
of his tight rope performances pnor to un
dertaking the seemingly hazardous passage,
A band of music enlivened the scene and
aided in dissipating the feeling of terror and
awe with which the undertaking was sur
rounded.
On the Canada shore an Inclosnre Was
formed between tho road, ' which at this
point runs along the precipice a couple of
rods from the brink,, within which the end
ot the cable was secured. A 11 around were
stagings, erected to enable people to get a
good view of the affair, but the entrance
charges were so extortionate that few avail
ed themselves of the facilities provided.
In the vicinity were booths for dispensing
edibles and irabibables, with a circus side
show or two, but were not very extensively
patronized, the cableistic attractions of M.
Blondin overpowering the ordinary cariosi
ty of a promiscuous crowd, which was not
nearly so large as we anticipated, the total
number of spectators on both banks not ex
ceeding ten thousand. While the vast au
dience, ranged round the grandest amphi
theater man ever exhibited his puny skill
and courage in, were waiting, the excite
ment growing momentarily more intense,
Blondin was capering before an audience
in the grove on White's Pleasure Grounds.
Sporting men betted on the result of bis
performance, the odds being in his favor. ,
The bands of music in attendance played as
if they were trying to blow their brains oat,
and the "roughs" had a muss or two by
wav of amusement, to pass off the time.
The cable is two inches in diameter, and
nearly six in circumference. It wts firmly
anchored at each end, and was guyed by
smaller ropes stretching at regular inter-
to her wharf, on the American shore. At
precisely five o'clock M. Blondin appeared
at the cable, on the American side. From
the opposite shore ho looked like a child.
He is a blonde in complexion, oulv 140
pounds iu weight, thouirh sinewy and airilu
as an athlete. His balance-pole weiirhs just
45 pounds. Making his bow to the crowd
with Gallic politeness, nraid a salvo of hur
rahs and bursts of music he stepped firmly
upon tho cable, and began to descend the
inclination, rapidly at times, then slowly,
uutil about two hundred feet out, when he
sat down, lay at full length on the rope,
stood upon one foot, and performed other
tricks of the rope-dancer.
J he rope betrayed Ins presence upon it
by a slight tremor only. There was no
swaying notwithstanding a strong wind
blew down the gorge. When about one
fourth the way over he again, sat down, aud
waited for the Maid of the Mist to come
up beneath him, when he dropped a cord
to hor deck and drew up a bottle of wine,
which he drank, and theu cast the empty
bottlo awny and continued his course. The
sun wns glowing and fervid, and he advanc
ed directly towards it, which was a serious
embarrasment, as it dazzled his eyes. He
was dressed in ficsh-colored tights, and his
girdle and cornet, of glittering paste, shone
in the sunlight with extreme brilliancy.
As he gradually approached the Canada
shore he grew into man's proportions. He
stepped along firmly and calmly, and came
rapidly to the shore, where he was erected
with cheers and conducted to a platform ad
jacent, where most of the Buffalo represen
tatives of tho press were seated, lie par
took with his friends of refreshments fur
nished by Mr. Kavanagli, of the Great
Western Hotel, and then addressed the
crowd, stating that a collection would be
taken np for him, when ho would return
across the cable. He was received with
the utmost enthusiasm, the daring exploit
sateiy over, ana appeared as cool and un
concerned as though tho feat was of ordinft
ry moment. Ho was fifteen minutes cross'
ing, including all stops after leaving shore
Alter about half an hour's delay he again
appeared, and stating that ho would cross
quicker than any one could go round by
tho bridge, boldly set out on his return
Going back was easier than coming, as he
had the sun behind him, instead of glowing
in ins eyes, iie stopped only twice return
ing, and was but seven minutes from bank
to bank. The echoing cheers testified to
the feeling upon his safe return from a feat
perilous in the extreme, despite the seeming
satcty and ease with winch Jl. iilonuin
performs it,
1 lie exploit will be repeated on Monday
afternoon, and tnose who desire to witness
one of the most thrilling sights in the world
will have an opportunity, and a holiday for
the purpose.
Before starting out on the first attempt
to cross, M. Blondin addressed the crowd,
and said, ' Gentlemen, any one what please
to across, I carry him on my back.' No
one, however, seemed disposed to accept
the kind offer, ne has crossed over re
peatedly since, and it is reported that a
young man, weighing about 121 pounds,
has offered to let Blondin carry him across
on the rope. ..
being earricd. How else could it have hap
pened;
Diuuer being over, Mr. St. Clair walked
over to the neighbor's to bring back his
treasure of a baby that Miss Lucy bad bor
rowed that morning. Miss Lucy said that
she bad not borrowed tha baby she had
not seen it that day. Mr. St. Clair was
hard to be conviuced that no one of the
family had taken the child, but all assured
him that they knew nothing of it.
It was now tune to be alarmed. " What
has becomo of the poor child?" was his ex
clamation, and ho ran back home in great
ngony. The mothor, in like mauncr, was
almost frantic. They could not conceive
who had taken away their child.
Mr. Williams' family joined in the grief,
but could afford no aid, no consolatiou.
They could invent no theory, nor devise
any plan by which the child had, with any
degree oi prooauuity, disappeared. Who
was to toko it away? Why would any one
wish to have it? They were utterly at a
loss.
Finally it was remembered that occasion
ally there were parties of Chcrokecs hunt
ing through that country. It was now
surmised that they had happened to come
io me nouso wmio Mrs. St. (J. was in the
field, and had stolen the child and curried
it away. This was at once received as
plausible and quite probable. ' . i
Early next morning Mr. St. Clair and
Mr. Williams set out to seek for the Indi
an camp, and Mrs. St. C. wus left alone at
home. She wus sitting in silenco, weeping
tears ot bitter anguish, such as none but
mothers ever shed, nnd wondering; in her
heart what had become of her darling babe,
It was now about the hour of the day on
which sho, the day previous, had gone out.
Ere she was aware, a large panther, with a
stealthy tread, enme to the door and looked
in toward the cradle. Mrs. St. Cluir
screamed and he ran away. The fearful
truth was now apparent, and no new light
lias ever been cast upon the Eubject. Mem

and game was very abundant. There was
no lack of bear, catamounts, wolves, and
panthers. In fact, the country was, at that
date, a perfect paradise for the practiced
hunter.
Mr. St. Clair had no family other than a
young wife and one infant. He was fond
of hunting, bnt he cultivated a few acres in
com and vegetables, At first it was fully
ten miles to his nearest neighbors, but du
ring tbe ensuing spring a man named Wil
liams made a settlement Within half a mile
of St. Clair's, and the two families became
neighbors nnd quite intimate.
Mr. Williams was a man m humble cir
cumstances and had a large family, mostly
of grown daughters, and no small children.
One day in the month of July, 1829,
(the first summer that Mr, St. Clair lived
there) his wife was at home with the child,
and Mr. St. Clair was off with his gun.
Who Planned the Battle of Me genu 7
Well, the Persia's news lias been spread
broadcast over the land, and thcro no long
cr exists a doubt as to the character of the
battle of Magenta. All parties are com
pelted to concede now that it was not only
a great battle but a great victory : and, what
is more, a victory won by the Emperor Na
poleon III., who not only commanded in
person, but planned the battle and tho move
ments which preceded it. and has thus
proved himself as able in the field as in the
Cabinet. Even the Tribune, in its com
mentary on the battle, says: "It is a stan
dard rule of strategy to avoid a flank march
within reach of the enemy. Louis Napole
on, relying upon his masses, deliberately
violated this rule, Ho marched towards
Novaro and the Ticiuo without heeding,
apparently, the Austrians on his flank."
This is all Very true; but he at tho same
timo deliberately resolved to protect the
flank of his army by his personal presence
with his Guards! And it is now matter of
history that in so doing he for a long time
bore the brunt of tho action, until Nicl and
McMnhon came to his aid, and relieved
him from the fearful odds with which he
was contending without other aid than his
Uuurds and Zouaves, Tliero was no accl
dent in all this. Ho well knew the full ex
tent of the dangers he encountered in this
flank movement, bnt determined to meet and
overcome them, if possible, by his personal
presence with his Guards and Zouaves.
And hentin consists the great merit of
his strategical movement. He foresaw re
sults and prepared to meet them by freely
exposing himself to the only danger it in
volved, lie well knew that in his presence
and with their Emperor leading them G uards
and Zouaves Would never falter or trive
way: and therefore it Was that with them
he boldly received the assault of, and held
in check on absolutely overwhelming force
of tho enemy, until Kiel and McMahon
could come to his relief Any other corps,
differently commanded, might have faltered;
and if so, defeat, instead of victory, would
have been the consequence. Did ho not
lobly then, in thus personally meeting and
triumphing over the obstacles which his
movement involved? And is not Napoleon
III., in every sense of the word, the hero
of Magenta?
We have said there uat no accident in all
thist and in i.npport of this declaration we
have now lying before Its, in manuscript,
the copy of a dispatch from the Emperor to
Paris, dated Friday, June 3, which is as
follows:
" We arc mystifying tbe Austrians.
We are deceiving them respecting our line
of march. We shall, therefore, be able to
choose our own battlefield. Prepare for a
triumph and our entry into the capital of
Lombardy." N. Y. Courier & Enquirer.
French army were still In their former po-
:t;... m... n n. .
aitiuun, viLiljriiiK jmwiiiiunii, lusieggiu,
Voghern, and Montebcllo. Tho French
Emperor has been necuwd In some quar
ters of designedly exposing the Sardinians
to danger at 1'alestro; hut it is evident now
that by withholding his own troops from
that contest ho was executing a feint to de
ceive tho enemy as to the real position of
inerrcncn.
Taking advantage of the strategical suc
cess, he pushed his forces across the Tic
mo at Buflalora and Titrbiwo into Loiubar
dy, thus taking tho Austrians iu a measure
by surprise. We know the result of that
movement; the hard fought contest at Tur-
bigo; the advance on Magenta by a narrow
road, where the Emperor in person resisted
the opposition of 40,000 Austrians. at the
head of the Imperial Guard and a body of
.otiaves, numbering in all not more at ony
time than 10,000 men; his anxiety for the
arrival of Gcneruls McMahon and Niel with
their brigades to sustain him; the opportune
apiearauce of McMahon; his brilliant out
flunking of the enemy and rapid movement
on Magenta, and the action there which
eveutuated in the defeat of the Austrians;
the capture of Milan, and the retreat of the
enemy towards the Adda, leaving Pavia
and Piacenza unsupported. Following up
this advantage, Louis Napoleon dispatched
Marshal Baraguoy d'Hilliersto Malegnano,
a village near Lodt, where somo 40,000
Austrians were isolutcd, and after a despe
rato coutest of nine hours they were driven
out.
AH these movements, rapid and unfore
seen by the enemy, prove that the strategi
cal plans of Louis Napoleon were well de
signed, and as successfully executed. His
military operations upon the field of battle
seem to havo been ns fortunately arranged
ns his diplomacy in forcing Austria iuto the
war, while he cunuingly contrived to place
upon her shoulders iho onus ot breaking tbe
peace of Europe. New York Herald, June
