Perbaiia the roaaon why the LVU1 of
Waterloo ia ao imreeMTe is beoaiiae
there U nofJiing lft to indicattf the ter
ribla atriftai and mighty destiniea Uiat
were dmded there. Nothing but
bug bronze lion la whose open jawt a
bird baa built its neat. The visitor
atud alone la the midst of portenti
ous memories, aadistracted by the In
adequate taoauaeote with which men
hTe essayed to mark low important
cUauuea aad aati cllmaxea ta the affairs
of aaltoaa, . .
If H GeaenJ Boaaparte," M the Eng
tiah guides about Waterloo persist ia
calling Ida, had beea farorod witii the
fine weather that your corresjoodant
had oa his yiait, he wouhl have ojoed
the eogageBtcat fire hours earlier, Lis
artillery would not have stuck ia the
mud, and bo would Jiare rhajs ant
hilated We!21ftgto& before the Prussian
came to his assistance. If the abund
ant harvest that stands on the field to
day had beea there then, neither army,
even if thej had been ail caralry, ueed
have beea encumbered or weakened by
subsistenoe or foraging trains.
: No fieLl could appear loos farorod by
aatare for vanuge of eontendinff armies.
The aliirut elevation oeeuitied bv thai
English was naturally no stronger than
that three quarters cf a mile diaUut,
held by the French. Keither elevation
was high enough, nor was the inter
vening or srroun4ing; groand" any
where so uneven as to j-reveot the rapid
easy movemeat, in any direction, of in-
fwtryf cavalry, . and arullery. The
dVsperattdy cootasited ; wUod gsr.lon of
Uiigwnont was strong only ia the forti
tude cf the men yhe hld it.
We started front Brttawells at 9 A. M !
taking an excursion ticket for Cnuae 1'
Alleud, which is tho railway station i
nrarest the field, ani only forty- totn
ute's ride from IMgiuot s Capital. This
is a cheaper, more ouattf.tLer, and
much quicker way to see the field than
the route frequently taken by diligence
from Brasaells. Arriving at Braine P j
AUeod we started en foot fur the It Id
aad were soon encountered by n ambers
of small boys with pockets full of bul
lts which they were willing to sell
cheap. Oeauine relics are still, oocas-!
ionally turned up by the plow, they are, j
howew, beououng very rarr; but the
snpi-ly or bullris, scraps of shell, but
wa, etc, in the bands of these little
peddlers of the-field u never khaustvd
1 met three women who were.aMe to
carry on the traffic ia three leagtiages;
each; of them has a basket containing
photographic views of the field, and
relic which they were trying to soil;
wbea 1 ezpiesMed doubt of the pau
iueuoss of the relics, thej nattered me
by saying that I had so greea ia my
eye, aad before I cotsU recover from the
sweetneesof that surprise-, plied me with
their photographa. My frwud bought
a bullet, for Ctur eeato, which' las at.
ld oa the Hold and picked up again iu
order to.make it niore plauaiule smmI ia

to Waterloo We met oa top the

Uoa Eugljah, Germans, and '.Belgians,

Under the aliove heading, tho Kern
county (Cel.,) Catrttt, of August 3d,
coauina the following ertinent. and
woil written article upon the sub
j-t of 8iate BighU.which we commend
to the readers of the Dsuocxat as
worthy of a ceiful (Orumd and thought,
f ol consideration :
"It has beoowo a habit - with a cer
ta!.i lot of newspaper writers to sneer
at the mention of tho Beato Rights.
Tky willfully, cr Ignoratitly, refuse to
dutciimiuate betireea State Bights and
seowitioB, aad always manags to eon
found one wit the other. ' It is true
that the attempt at sooesseara grew out
of titreme views as to the rights and
sovereignty of the Button, but it by no
means follows that the two are ao inti-niatal-
associatnr , to make them sy
oonymous terms, if we have rwal the
history of the country aright, rx party

ed a form of goveraavnt under . which
the Htatos wottkl bear the suae relation
to the general government as counties
now do to tho States. Daring the
civil war there was a good deal of this
sort of noaaense, and there are still
maay, doubtloes, who believe a stro&ff
central government, with a decided tea
dnacy toward despotism, would be the
best lor the country, but no mrtv has
ever existed since the days of Federal-
ism teat aaa advocated such a policy,
nor is there a probability that theie
wUl be such a par y at least for many
years.
Ia a eoantry like our, etretahb
over aa iatatae eXstuse of territory,
with every variety of soil, climate and
prodaotious, and with divergeat and
oonSiciiug Lu treats, liberty and pros
perity are impoeiibl without local gov
ernment, and local governmtt would
be a farra without righu to maintaia
itself. We ha.e a fotcitde illu tratioa
of the truth of th's in the eff.rts the
leople of Califorttia have made and
are now making, to rid Ibi-ei-cltc of
the Chtueae. The United Sutes Gov-
erumwut having mad , a treaty with
Uitna which aliniu tho subject "f the

evtL We musit go W WaxUiagtoa for
relief. Our re-rvnenttion there ie
uisigni&cautly poaerlom. The ople
of the til East of the Itjcky iloua
taina do not undorstaad the sitsstiou
here a we do, but look upen the
Chines as aa ialuCrioi, frugal,
(ratable eop!e. Hence it i that,
although the people cf Californt- are
almost uitaaimoualy infavorof larislata,a
that would put an end to the influx of
Chinese, we can scarcely jret more lean
a hearing from Congress. If that States 1
had not been shorn of the right to regu
late this matter for thenvaelvea, the dif
ficulty would have been aettlrd year
ago, and the Bute rid of this objectioa
ai'le class. This illustrates the impossi
bility of the iople of distant States ua
derstanding and appreciating the local
want of the people of anothet State
surro-jided by different and perhaps
anomalous . circumstances aad should
convince the advocates of centralism of
iu fallacy."
"The war of the rebellion did not
disturb the doctrine : of State Bights,
except ao far aa the- asserted rigltt of a
tfute to secede is concerned. The re
sult was exclusive against that right,
and the claim te it has beea abandoned.
The war decreed that the union of
States is indissoluble, that the general
government in the exercixe of the pow
er conferred upoa it by the constitu

Moses Harris was bora in Duchess

to Waahingtoa county, aad at the out

living on the 1 5 ray ton farm, about a
mile south of Fort Aaa viliiage, and
remained there uutd the spring of i 777,
wbea the advance of Burgoyne com
pelled him to remove back to Duchess
county. The aoa was a staunch patriot,
but wa ia the habit of visiting a Tory
uncle earned Gilbert Harris, who Jived
oa a farm ia the town of Kingsbury,
known as "the thoustai apple tree
farm" cow owned by Tho. Owens.
It so happened that both Schuyler
aad Burgoyae wished to secure the ser
vices of a confidential av-ssenger.
Harris was reoommendod to rkfauyler
aad was employed by him. He was al
so sent for by bis Tory ancle, aad at
midnight was aroused by him and asked
if he wanted to engage in the King
service. Harris responded in the arlir
uative and followed his uncle to the
bara where a secret passage disclosed a
room la the centre of the haymow.
Here he was introduced to three

The usual custom of llarris, however,
on his trips south was u atop in as

bang bim. He was a Mason and gave
the grand b s lng sin of distress of the

was to bang aim, at once recognized
bim and let Liu down. This caused
the whigs to euspect him, and. one Ja
cob Benson lay ia ambush all night for
him and threatened "to put a tUl
through the cussed tory." He was,
however, warned by a friend, and tak
ing a different route, escaped. Once be
was wounded and compelled to swim
the Hudson at Fort Miller, just above
the falls, and at riving at the residence
of Noah Payn wa takea ia and con

way actweon the Moaea Kill lock and
Fort Miller Fulls. He was thrown in
to prison at Albany at the command of
Schuyler but was restored to liberty as
soon as public attention was called frora
fa im. Onoo he was arrested at SC John's
by the British who suspected bim of
being a spy. He feigned such indig
nation at the charge aud so earnestly
desired to be abot at ones rather than
be suspected of disloyalty to hia king,
that he was discharged. He made
tracks out of camp at once, but hardly
had bo departed before the suspicions
revived aad they determiaed to recap
ture him.
Swift Indian runners were put upon
hi track, but being fleet of foot and
possessed of great powers of endurance,
he out strippwd his pursuers, and reach-
1 Vaughns Corners, in the town of
Kingsbury, before he was retaken. At
this paint be wits so fatigued and hard
pressed, tha$ in passing aa old building
used for boding potash which stood
oa a farm owned by J. W. Brown he
dodged, in and, clambering up the lad

ney. . A moment after, the Indians
eame round to the place where he had
entered. Oue of them ran up the lad
der, but seeing no one, gave a grunt
and returned to his compauiotia Tho
Indians were not seen again; it is sup
posed they went on to visit Gil Harris,
who lived half a mile west. . Harris'
stratcgem iu not pulling up the ladder
after him probably saved his life, for if
the savages suspected the fugitive to
be in the garret they would have set
lire to the cabin and thus destroyed
bim. Ia the evening he made his way
to the American lines, where he was
at rented as a spy, and closely guarded
until his true ; character was known.

Ia connection with the fact that the
Garter has beea conferred oa the Earl
of Beaconsfield by the Qoeea of Eng
land, some information in regard to
this a&ciont knighthood may be of in
terest to our readers. We of this re
publican land can scarcely appreciate
tne importance atutcbed to decorations
of this naturfi in Europe. They con
fer social rank and celebrity, and are
recognized as suitable reward for dis
tinguished public services. The Order
of the Garter is the highest and most
excluieve order of British knighthood,
and oae of the oldest and most illus
trious of Europe. It is commonly sup
posed tolave been instituted by Ed
ward HI, about 1350. Most writer
agrre that its institution dates from a
tournament at Windsor, to which E I
ward had invited the most illustrious
knights. The commonly accepted tra
dition as to its origin is the story to d
of E Iward and the Countess of Salis
bury. Whea she happened at a ball to
drop her garter, the king took it up
and presented it ta her, at the same
time exclaiming to those who were dis
posed to smile at hi action, "Horn
soit qui mal y pcrJe," (Evil to him
who evil think). This was the true
spirit of chivalry, and it is not surpris
ing that from this incideut the idea of
a new order of knighthood was evloved.
Tbe number of knight eutapauious
hs a! wars been limited. It wa origi
nally 25 besides the sovereign, who tills
alt vacancies. Tha cumber was after
wards made exclu-dve of princes of the
royal family, and of illustrious for
eigner on whom the honor might be
conferred. Extra knights may be ad-
aitttea vr special statutes, but on a
vacancy occurring they become part of
the so. Ibe order itself consist of a
garter of dark blue velvet, edged with
gold and bearing a motto in guhiea let
ters, and worn on the left knee. Tbe
installations take htce once a year iu
St. George' chapel, Windsor, and the
banners of tbe knights are there sa
pended. '

The young men of Portugal have one
occupation more imorUnt than wear

fact, goes with it that of making the
very mildest form of love known
among men. Tbe young gentlemen
pay their addresses by simply standing
in front of tbe bouse, occupied by the
object of their affections, while the
young person in question looks down
approvingly from an upper window,
and there the matter end. They are
not within s leaking diatai: , and have
to content themselves wiin expressive
glances and dumb show, for it would
