The Faithful Sentinel—An Incident of Napoleon’s Time. The French army lay encamped only abottt a days march from Berlin. It was on the 23d of October. The sentinels were I doubled, and the most strict orders given for the Prussian and Austrian spies were plenty, and troublesome. At midnight Pierre Sancoin was stationed at one of the outposts. He was a stout, bold shrewd man, and a good soldier. The colonel of his regiment was with the sergeant on this bout, having requested to be called at midnight, that he might visit the outposts. ’Pierre,' he said, ‘after the man had been posted, ‘you must keep your eyes open. Don’t Jet even a stray horse go out or come in without the pass. Do J you understand?’ 'Av, »«o» colonel, 1 shall be prompt.’ ‘The dogs are around us,’ pursued the officer, 'and you cannot be too careful.— Don’t trust men nor brutes without good proof.’ ‘Never fear,’ was Pierre’s answer, as he brought his firelock to his shoulder, and moving back a pace. After this the guard moved on to the next post, and Pierre Sancoin was left alone, Pierre’s post was one of the most important in the camp; or rather around it, and he had been placed there for that reason. The ground over which he had to walk was a long knoll, bounded at one end by a huge rock, and at the other slop-' ing away into a narrow ravine in which was a copse of willows. Beyond this copse the ground was low and boggy, so i that a man could not pass it. The rock war to the westward, and Pierre’s walk was to its outer side. The night was quite dark, huge masses of clonds floating overhead, and shutting out the stars, and a sort of fog seemfo be raised also from the marsh. The wind moaned through the copse in the ravine, and the air was damp and chilly; with a slow, steady tread the soldier paced his ground, ever and anon stopping to listen, as the willows in the ravine rattled their leaves, or some night-bird flew out with its quick flapping. An hour had passed away, and the sentinel had seen nothing to excite his suspicion. He had stopped for a moment close by the rock, when he was startled by a quick, wild screech from the woods; and in a few moments more a large bird flew over his head. •Parbleu!’ he uttered, after the nightbird had flown over, ‘could mortal man have stopped that fellow from passage.’ He satisfied himself that he had done nothing in suffering the bird to pass. — He had walked the length of his way two or three times, and was just turning by the rock, when he was sure he saw a dark object just crossing the line towards the corpse. •Hold!’ he cried, bringing his musket quick to his shoulder. .Hold, or I fire!’ And, with his piece at aim, he advanced toward* the spot where the. object had stopped; but as he came to within a few vards of it, it staled again towards the camp. 'Diable!’ cried Pierre, ‘move any further and I fire. What, Purdieu! Lc Prince. Ho, ho, why Prince!’ The animal turned and made amotion as though he would leap up on to the sentinel’s bosom, but he motioned him of). ‘Bravo, Prince!’ Pierre cried, reachforth his hand nnd patting the head of the shaggy beast, which had now sal upon his haunches. Pierre recognized the intruder now as a great dog, of the breed of St. Bernard, which had been owned in the re "merit for over a year, and which had been missed fur about it week. He had disappeared one night from the pickets, all search for him had been uuavailmg. ‘ Parbleu. mon grand 7‘ria. e.” Pierre uttered, us though the dog could understand every word, ‘the men will be happy to see vort. Where have you b< tu for so long?’ The dog made no answi v to this, save a low whine, and a. familiar nodding of the head. ■Now, mon ami, you just keep your sitting there til! the guard comes, and then we will go to the camp together. Mind that, will you?' And with these words, uttered with rolemn emphasis and due meaning, started on his bout again. He had got hall way to the rock, when the idea of looking around struck him, and he del so. Le Prince wa* moving towards the camp again. •Ha! Prince, that won’t do. Stop, stop, I’ll shoot! Diable, the Colonel was in hl* ord- is. I wu to let noth-

ing pass my post without the countersign. A dog is something; you can.tgo, Prince, so now lie down. Down! down! I say!’ With this the dog lay flat donw upon his belly and strectbed out his fore paws. Pierre patted him upon the head again, and having duly urged upon him the necessity of remaining where he was, he resumed his march once more. During the next fifteen minutes, the animal lay perfectly quiot, and ever and anon the sentinel would speak to him by way of being sociable. But at length the dog made another attempt to go to the camp. Pierre had nearly reached the rock when be heard the movement, and on turning he could just see his uneasycompanion making off. 'Diable? the honest fellow uttered; ‘1 must obey orders. The Colonel s word was plain. Here! Parbleu\ Come here! Here Prince! Hon Dieul you must die if you don’t,’ With a few quick bounds the soldier had got near enough the dog t> fire, and, as the latter stopped he stopped. ‘Mon cher ami, you must stay with me! Here! Come backl I must shoot if you don’t, Parbleul what a thing to start the whole camp for, to shoot a dog.’ But by coaxing and threatening the sentinel got the dog back tojiis post, and there he made him lie down once more. And thus matters rested till the tramp of the coming guards was heard. ‘Ah' now, Prince, he’ll be relieved,’ the soldier said, stopping near the dog.| I ‘You shall go and sec yonr old triends.’ The tramp of the coming guards drew near, and Pierre was preparing to hail them when the dog took a new start, and i in a new direction, this time starting toi wards the copse. •Here, here, Prince! Parble, don’t you , run off again.’ But the dog took no other notice of the call than to quicken his speed. 'Back! back! back!’ •Grand Dieu!’ This last exclamation was forced from Pierre’s lips, by seeing the dog leap to his hind legs and run thus! ! In an instant the truth burst upon him— Quick ns thought, he clapped his gun to his shoulder and took aim. He could just distimdush the dim out-lines now, and then he fired. There was a sharp cry, j and Pierre bad to turn, for the guards were approaching. ■ Qui est luP (‘Who is there?’) be cried, j ■Relief guard,, was the answer. And having obtained the countersign, I lie informed the officer of what had hap- ■ pened. ‘A dog?’cried the officer. 'Prince' did | you say?’ ‘He looked like Prince, but, Diable, I you should have seen him run off on his , hind legs!’ ‘Eh? Hind legs!’ •Yes.’ •Then come; show us where he was. j With this the officer of the mounted ' guard pulled bis lantern from his breast, and having removed the shade he started on. Pierre led the way to the copse, and there the dog was found in the last smuggles of death. The officer stooped down and turned him over. j ‘Granrf Dieu!’ he cried, ‘what legs for a dog eh!’ And no wonder he said so. The hind ley s of the dog were booted and had every appearance of the pedal extremities of the genus man. But all doubts were removed very quickly, for as the officer turned ibe body again, adeep groan came up, and the words, ‘God take me!’ in ibe Prussian tongue followed. Diafdel bore’s and adventure!’ uttered the officer, and he made Pierre hold the lantern while be ripped open enough of the dogs’s skin to find the face. But they concluded not to stop there to investigate; so they formed a litter bv crossing their muskets, and, having lifted the stiange animal upon it, they proceeded on their wav. When they reached the camp ) J they found half the soldiers up, waiting to find out why the gun was fired. ( Lights were brought, and the body placed upon the ground. The dog’s skin was removed, and within was found a ! Piussian drummer. He was a small fellow, though apparently some twenty years of age; but lie was dead —Pierre’s ball huvmg touched bis heart, or somewhere near it. His pockets were overhauled, and in one of them was found a cipher, but no one of them could make anything out of it. The colonel took it, and direc- , ted that the body be placed out of sight, for burial on the morrow. But this was not the end. About 4 o’- ■ clock, just before daylight, another gun sited on the post whore Pierre

had been: and this time a man was shot who was trying to make h'.s escape from the camp. He was shot through the head. When the body was brought into camp, it was found to be that of a Bavarian trooper, who had ever before been suspected of treachery, though no proof had ever before been found against him. On bis person was found the key to the cipher which had been taken from the person of the drummer; and now that the colonel had them both, he could translate the mystic scroll. It proved to be a direction to the Bavarian to lay his plans I for keeping as near Napolieon’s person as possible, after he should enter Berlin, and then wait for further orders. The mystery was explained. The Bavarian had contrived to call the great dog away from the legiment, and deliver him up to the enemy, and his skin was to be made the cover for a spy to enter the camp. And the spy would have got in, too, but for the sportive order of the Colonel, and the willfully faithful obedience of Pierre Sancoin. On the next day Pierre was promoted to the rank of a sergeant, and the Emperor said to him, as be bestowed the boon: ‘lf you only make as faithful an officer as you have proved yourself faithful as a ; sentinel, 1 ask no more.’ TAXES For the Year 1857.

PROSPECTUS IKDIAKA STATE SENTINEL, 1857. The proprietors ofthis establishment deem it almost unnecessary to urge upon the Democracy of the State, the importance of largely increasing the circulation of the Sentinel. A faithful and candid exposition of Democratic principles nnd policy is all that is necessary tu secure their continued ascendency in the minds of the people, and thiscan be best accomplished through the medium of the press. And to ninke success easy in the future, our people should be thoroughly informed and receive correct inpressions upon all the party issues and public questions of the day. As it. has been in the past, this will be the continued object of the Sentineland to the faithful accomplishment of this duty, its proprietors will give all their abilitv, energy and zeal. Tn return we shall ask of the Democracy of the State a liberal and hearty support. In’doing us a service personally, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they will sow broadcast, sound principles and just sentiments. We hope that every democrat will feel it his duty to be asoliciting agent in his own neighborhood, for in no way can he accomplish greater good than in the circulation of a paper true to its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in the State of Fifty Thousand, and itcan be accomplished if the Democracy of the State will it. With a little effort on the part of our friends, this number of subscribers can bo obtained in the'next thirty days. As the central Organ of the party we shall know no men, interests or cliques! and it shall be our aim to do equal and exact justice to all. Our duty is to be the advocate and exponent of the principles and measures of the party, and whoever they shall select as its Representative Men, to give them an energetic and cordial support.. The administration of Mr. Buchanan will soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should be interested to know the sentiments and policy of the man of his choice. Congress is in session and the people should keep informed of the do ings of th ir servai ts. The Legislature of this State will assemble on the 7th January, and every citizen of the I commonwealth should watch, with nn anxious ! eye, all that concerns our State interests. Thu ! Sentinel will contain full reports upon all these topics, motives enough we think to induce every man to take our paper. In addition we shall keep our readers informed upon all the current news of the day, domestic and foreign. We will give full reports of the markets, and all interesting commercial and monetary matters.— We will give each week a full report of the N. V, cattle market. In a word we shall endeavor to give our paper an interest to the tradesman, the mechanic, the laborer, to all classes and professions. Advertisers are especially invit'd to the great advantages the Sentinel offers as ' n advertising medium. Its extended circulation reaches all portions o r the State i nd all classes of lhe community, giving the advantage of not only a large local, but general circulation. We again ask our friends to aid in extending the circulation < f both our Daily and Whki.y paper. Having no soliciting agents, we shall have to depend entnely upon their good will and efforts, which we trust they will generously manifest in good works, and which «<• promise to r< pay in every effort to give lhe Sentinel value and influence. We are prepared to print all kinds of blanks | for county officer's use, or furnish any official j books of record they may need. We hope to re iceive orders for this kind of work. I The Book and Job office of the Sentinel is equal to any in the west, and we are prepared to do any work in that line on lhe most favorable terms. Daily Sentinel, with full legislative, telegraphic and market reports, will be sent by mail at $6 per annum or 50 cents per month. Weekly Sentinel: — One copy, one year, $1 50 Ten copies, one year, and one to the getter of club. 15 00 Twenty copies, one year, to one address 20 00 Thirty five copies one year, to on ■ address, and one to getter up of club, 35 00 Fifty copi s one year, to one nddress, and two to the getter up of club, 50 00 —ln clubs of ten lhe name of each subscriber will be written on his paper, but in clubs above that number, or where the papers are sent for one dollar each no name will be written on the papers, but the entire club sent to one person for him to distribute. This is the invariable practice of all papers sending out clubs at cheap rates and cannot be departed from in any particular. Address, Proprietors Sentinel, Indianapolis, Ind. A Casket of Jewels.
