THE CAMPAIGN OP AUSTERLITZ.

Utter Bout of Austrians and Russians on His Coronation Anniversary Crowned

of Italy—Death of Pitt—Personal Appearance at Thirty-five.

[Copyright, 1805, by John Clark Bidpnth.] iVl—From Notre Dame to AusterLITZ.

To the New French Empire the Consular Republic contributed one fact of transcendent iriportauoo. That was tho Code Napoleon—a work which the Emperor regarded tu tho end of his days a3 jiii greatest gift to posterity. Before the Revolution, Frai.ce had had as many iaw.s as provinces. The cynical Vollairo declared that in his country the traveler n.n.st change his code as often he changed horses.

The question of unifying and nationalizing the statutes of France had been before the States-General at Versailles. By that body the irscasuro was remanded to the Nv.tic-jal and Constituent Assemblies by 11::."r, to the Convention by

that, to tiiu Directory and by that, to the Consulate. Here, then, had arisen a power lit th^.t was ablo to revise and reform. A commission was appointed by the First Consul, headed by the great lawyer Tronchet, to reconstruct the jurisprndo: co of Franco.

In four months thifs commission made its report to the Council of State. Napoleon personally presided. Tho project of the commission was read, discussed, and passed on, clause by clause. On the

KAPOLEON, 1805, BY BOUILLON.

5th of Marcb, 1803, the Code Civile des Francais was completed and published. It consisted of twenty-two hundred and eighty-ono articles. These were arranged under three heads: The Rights of Persons tho Laws of Property and the Methods of acquiring Property. In the code tho elements of Roman Law and tho law-customs of tho French people were bk.idcd with singular skill.

The Code Napoleon became tho basis of jurisprudence, not only in France, but in Sicily, Holland, Belgium, the Shine provinces, Switzerland, Poland, and in all tho countries dominated by the Latin races in Europe and America.

At tho dato of his coronation, Napoleon was thirty-fivo years, three ir.onth:i and sevontcen da.vri of ago. Ho was in bis very prime. Phjr.krJ.ly, lio had triumphed over that attenuation and utter swarthiness which had marked his younger years. On his first issuance to public notice, and down to tho time of the Consulate, ho had worn a haggard look, which, added to his thinness and bis low stature, made him almost a specter. In the year of his marriage, he •was described by an observant lady—as reported in Stendhal—as "the thinnest and queerest being I ever met." In another placo tho same authority says of him: "Ho was so scrawny that ha inspired pity." But with the gratification of his ambitions and desires, he became plump and beautiful.

Of all tho descriptions of the person of Bonaparte, that of Meneval, his secretary, is doubtless the most correct and satisfying. Ho says of tho Emperor, that, though small of stature, his person was well knit and symmetrical. The bust was longer relatively than the legs. The head was large, and the skull finely developed. The neck was short, and the shoulders proportionally broad. The chest was round and full, indicating a robust constitution. Tho limbs, both arms and legs, were perfect. The Emperor was as proud as was Lord Byron of his small plump hands and tapering fingers. His forehead was broad and high his eyes oasily kindled with passion and flashed lightnings. His complexion was pallid bronzed at first always of tho Italian hue. His dark hair becamo thin on tho top of his head, and the height of the forehead was seemingly increased. Meneval, for thirteen years intimate with his master—observing closely his every mood and feature •—says: "His head and bust were in no way inferior in nobility and dignity to the most beautiful statue of antiquity."

The new Imperial system quickly diffused itself abroad. Wherever the influence of Franco extended, tho political transformation was easily effected. The Cisalpine Republic was converted into the kingdom of Italy. This Napoleon would make an appanage of his own. Far four months, sixteen hours daily, be wrought at tho establishment of the oew regime in France. He then sped to nd on the 26th of May, 1805, orowned King of Italy. The cere—hi was in the great cathedral there, only in magnificence to St Pe'fl, The old iron crown of the Lomhsd kings was bronght forth from its 'Imp, and was given by the archct Milan to the Emperor, who, it on his head, nttered the fanot* Dieu me l'a donnee—Gare a 96 to tonohe. "God has given it to me iWiu who tonohes it!"—an aphorjMtwMoli became the motto of the Orthe Iron Grown.

II*Empire brought four years of ooo-

fk„j*w'£

tinuous war. Napoleon became the trampler of vineyards. His armies made Europe into mire. England—'agreeing at Amiens not to fight—fought. Pitt, now in tho last year of his life, used all of ins resources to bring about a league against France. He persuaded Alexander of Russia, Francis of Austria, and Gustavus of Sweden—all easy dupes of a greater than themselves—to make a new coalition. Ho tried to induce Frederick William of Prussia to join his fortunes with the rest but the last-named monarch was for the time restrained by the weakness of prudence. The agents of Napoleon held out to him suggestions of the restoration of Hanover to Prussia. But Austria and Russia and Sweden pressed forward confidently to overthrow the new French Empire. That Empiro should not see the end of the first year of its creation!

Tho Austrians were first in the field. Tho Russians, under Kutosoff, came on into Pomerania from the East. Out of Sweden,with a large army, came down Gustavus, the Don Qcixoto of the North, to crush Bernadotte who held Hanover. Napoleon for his part sprang forth" for the campagin of Austerlitz, perhaps the most brilliant military episode in the •history of mankind. With incredible facility ho threw forward to the Rhino an army of a hundred and eighty thousand men. His policy was—as always— to overcome the allies in detail.

On tho 24th of September, the Emperor left P::ris. Tho Empress and Talleyrand went with Lin as far as Strasburg. On the 2nd of October, hostilities began at Gnntzburg. Four days afterwards the French army crossed the Danube. On the 8th of tho month, Murat won tho battle of Wertingon, capturing Count Auffenberg, with two thousand prisoners. On the 10th the French had Augsburg, and on the 12th, Munich. On the 14th Soult triumphed at Memingen, capturing a corps of six thousand Austrians and on the same day Ney literally overran tho territory which was soon to become his Duohy of Elohingen. Napoleon outgeneraled tho main division of the enemy at Ulm. The Austriaus, under General Mack, thirty-three thousand strong, were cooped np in tho town and, on the 17th of October, forced to capitulate. Eight field-marshals and generals, including the Prince Lichtenstein and Generals Klenau and Fresno], were made prisoners. "Solders of the Grand Army," said Napokon, "we have finished the campaign in a fortnight!"

On the day of the capitulation of Ulm, Massena in Italy drove back the army of the Archduke Charles. The Austrians to this date, in a period of twenty days, had lost by battle and capture fully fifty thousand men! Qn the 27th of October, the French army crossed the Inn. Salzburg and Braunau were taken. In Italy, Massena, on the 30th, won the battle of Caldiero, and took fivo thousand prisoners. The French closed towards the Austrian capital. O11 tho 13th of November, Napoleon, having obtained possession of the bridges of the Danube, entered Vienna. He established himself in the imperial palace of Schonbrunn. The Austrian Empiro and tho Holy Roman Empire—which was its shadowy penumbra —seemed to vanish liko ghosts beforo him.

Out of Pomerania into Moravia, to 1 tho plain of Olmutz, tho great Russian army, under tho Czar and Kutusofc, camo roaring. Thero they were united with a heavy division of the Austrians, under Emperor Francis. The latter had fled from his capital, and staked his last fortunes on battle in the field. The allied army was eighty thousand strong. Napoleon, with sixty thousand men, commanded by Soult, Lannes, Murat and Bernadotte, advanced rapidly from the direction of Vienna, as rapidly as Brunn, and there awaited tho onset.

Just beyond this town, at Austerlitz, the French wero arranged in a semicircle, with tho convex front towards the allies, who occupied the outer arc on a range of heights. Such was the situation 011 the night of December 1st, 1805. Tho morrow will be the first anniversary of our coronation in Notre Dame— a glorious day for battle!

With tho morning of the 2nd, Napoleon could scarcely restrain his ardor. The enthusiasm of the army knew no bounds. On tho night before, the Emperor, in his gray coat, had gone the circle of tho camps, and tho soldiers, extemporizing straw torches to light the way, ran before him. Looking eagerly through tho gray dawn, he saw the enemy badly arranged, or moving dangerously in broken masses under the cover of a Moravian fog. Presently the fog lifted, and the sun burst out in splendor. The onset of the French was irresistible. The allied center was pierced. TheAus1 trian and Russian emperors with their armies were sent flying in utter rout and panic from the field. Thirty thousand Russians and Austrians were killed, wounded or taken. Alexander "barely escaped capture. Beforo sunset the Third Coalition was broken into fragments and blown away.

Meanwhile, from the borders of Hanover, the Qui«otical Gustavus had taken to flight, and was eager to secure himself beyond the Baltic. On the 24th of December, everything was completed by the Peace of Pressburg. Austria gave up the whole of her Venetian possessions into the kingdom of Italy. The Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Passau went to Bavaria. The latter country and Wurtemberg were made into kingdoms. For all thifc the ancient Empire of the Hapsburgs was compensated with Salzburg and some other trifling places. jiff

After Austerlitz the broken Russians fell back towards their own territory. Central Enrope seemed to be suddenly dominated by the sword of the Corsican. Pitt, no longer able to bear the strain of the tremendous antagonism, sank rapid* ly, and died. The glorions viotory which Nelson had won in the bloody foam of Trafalgar, on the day after the capitulation of Mack, oould not compensate for the Continental rain. Pitt passed away on the 38rd of January, 1806. Austerlits and Pressburg are said to havekill* ed him!

MOVING HIS GOODS AKD CHATTELS.

His Entry Into the Law Office—A Tilt With Douglas—Dramatic Scene on the Stamp. Ho Make* an Apology For His Scathing

fFrom "Tlie Life of Lincoln" by William H. Herndon and-Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, 18S8, by Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, lfe'JU, by D. Appleton & Co.

After serving in the legislature for several terms with no great distinction Lincoln moved to Springfield, and in March, 1837, he was licensed to practice law. His name appears for the first time as attorney for the plaintiff'in the case of Hawthorne versus Woolridge. He entered the office and became the partner of his comrade in the Black Hawk war, John T. Stuart, who had gained rather an extensive practice, and who, by the loan of sundry testbooks several years before, had encouraged Lincoln to continue in the study of law. Stuart had emigrated from Kentucky in 182S, and on account of his nativity, if for no other reason, had great influence with tho leading people in Springfield. He used to relate that on tho nest morning after his arrival in Springfield ho was standing in front of the village store, leaning against a post in the sidewalk and wondering how to introduce himself to tho community, when ho was approached by a well dressed old gentleman, who, interesting himself in the newcomer's welfare, inquired after his history and business. "I'm from Kentucky," answered Stuart, "and my profession is that of a lawyer, sir. What is tho prospect here?'' Throwing his head back and olosing his left eye, the old gentleman reflected a moment. "Young man, slim chance for that kind of a combination here," was tho response.

A Modest Law Office.

At the time of Lincoln's entry Into the office Stuart was just recovering from the effects of a congressional race' in which he had been theloser. He was still deeply absorbed in politics aud was preparing for the next canvass, in which he was finally successful, defeating the wily and ambitions Stephen A. Douglas. In consequence of the political allurements Stuart did not give to tho law his undivided time or the full force of his energy and intellect. Thus more or less responsibility in the management of business and the conduct of cases soon devolved on Lincoln. The entries in tho account books of tho firm aro all in tho handwriting of Lincoln. Most of the declarations and pleas were written by him also. This sort of exercise was never congenial

to him, and it was the only time, save a brief period 11 cl 0 Judge Logan, that ho served as junior partner an (1 performed the labor required of one who servos in that ra-

stephen a. Douglas, ther subordinate capacity, tie bad not yet learned to lovo work. The office of the firm was in tho upper story of a building opposite tho northwest corner of fhe present Courthouse square. In tho room underneath tho county court was held. The furniture was in keeping with the pretensions of the firm—a small lounge or bed, a chair containing a buffalo robe, in which tho junior member was wont to sit and study, a hard wooden bench, a feeble attempt at a bookcaso and a table which answered for a desk. Lincoln's first attempt at settlement in Springfield, which preceded a few days his partnership with Stuart, has been graphically described by his friend, Joshua F. Speed, who generously offered to share his quarters with the young legal aspirant. Speed, who was a prosperous young merchant, reports that Lincoln's personal effects consisted of a pair of saddlebags containing two or three lawbooks aud a few pieces of clothing. "He had ridden into town 011 a borrowed horse," relates Speed, "and engaged from the only cabinet maker in tho village a single bedstead. He camo into my store, set his saddlebags on tho counter and inquired what the furniture for a single bedstead would cost. I took slate and pencil, made a calculation and found the sum for furniture complete would amount to §17 in all. Said he: 'It is probably cheap enough, but I want to say that, cheap as it is, I have not the money to pay. But if you will credit me until Christmas, and my experiment here as a lawyer is a success, I will pay you then. If I fail in that, I will probably never pay you at all.' The tone of his voice was so melancholy that I felt for him. I locked up at him, and I thought then, as I think now, that I never saw so gloomy and melancholy a face in my life. I said to him: 'So small a debt seems to affect you so deeply, I think I can suggest a plan by which you will be able to attain your end without incurring any debt. I have a very large room and a very large double bed in it, which you are perfectly welcome to share %rith me if you choose.' 'Where is your aoom?' he asked. 'Up stairs,' said I, pointing to the stain leading from the store to my room. Without saying a word he took his saddlebags oo his arm, went up stairs* set them down on the floor oame down again, and, with a faee beaming with pleasure Mid smiles, exolaizned. 'Well, Speed, I'm taoved.'

A Reply to Douglas,

One evening while the usual th&ng of loungers surrounded the inviting fi*eplaoe Ja fipeed's store, the oonveratfUop 1 Mil 1 1: 1 1 ,t. 1 Hi 11 1 "a-:.

a a

tumvl on political matter^ The disputants waxed warm and acrimonious as the discussion proceeded. Business being oyer for the day, I strolled back, and seating myself on a keg. listened with eager interest.to the battle going on among would he statesmen. Stephen A. Douglas, I recollect, was leading on the Democratic side. He had already learned the art of dodging in debate, but still he was subtle, fiery and impetuous. He charged the Whigs with every blunder and political crime he could imagine. No vulnerable spot seemed to have escaped him. At last, with great vehemence, he sprang up and abruptly made a challenge to those who differed with him to discuss the whole matter publicly, remarking that "this store ife no place to talk politics."

In answer to Douglas' challenge the contest was-entered into. It took place in the Presbyterian church. Douglas, Calhoun, Lamborn and Thomas represented the Democrats, anc1^Logan, Baker, Browning and Lincoln, in the order named, presented the Whig side of the question. One evening was given to each man, and it therefore required over a week to complete the tournament. Lincoln occupied the last evening, and, although the people by that timo had necessarily grownj* little tired of the monotony and well worn repetition, yet Lincoln's manner of presenting his thoughts and answering his Democratic opponents excited renewed interest. So deep was the impression he created that he was asked to furnish his speech to the Sangamon JournaiVfor publication, and it afterward appeared in the columns of that organ.

No sooner had the legislature ad jonrned than he decidcd—if ho had not already so determined—to run for the same place again. He probably wanted it for a vindication. Ho was pursued now more fiercely than ever, and he was better able to endure the vilification of a political campaign than when ho first offered himself to tho voters in New Salem.

He Champions a Friend.

It was during this same canvass that Lincoln by his manly Interference protected his friend E. D. Baker from the anger of an infuriated crowd. Baker was a brilliant and effecive speaker and quite as full, too, of courage as invective. He was addressing a crowd in the conrtroon, which was immediately underneath Stuart & Lincoln's office. Just above the platform on which the speaker stood was a trapdoor in the floor, which opened.into Lincoln's ofiica Lincoln at the time, as was often his habit, was lying on the floor looking down through the door at the speaker. I was in tho body of the crowd. Baker was hot headed and impulsive, but brave as a lion.

Growing warm in his arraignment of the Democratic party, he charged that "wherever thero was a land office there was a Democratic newspaper to defend its corruptions." This angered the brother of the editor of our town paper, who was present, and who cried out, "Pull him down!" at the same time advancing from tho crowd as if to perform (he task himself. Baker, his face pale with excitement, squared himself for resistance. A shuffling of i'eet, a forward movement of the crowd, and great confusion followed. Just then a long pair of logs wero seen dangling from the aperture above, and instantly the figure of Lincoln dipped 011 tho platform. jiI :io::i::g with his hands for silence and not .succeeding, he seized a stone water pitcher standing near by, threatening to break it over the head of tho lirst Jiian who hiid hands on Baker. "Hold on, gentlemen!" he shouted. "This is tho land of freo speech. Mr. Baker has a right to speak and ought to be heard. I am here to protect him, and no man shall take him from this stand if Icanprevent.it." His interference had the desired effect. Quiet was scon restored, and tho valiant Baker was allowed to proceed.

The "Long Jiiue."

Tho canvass of 1840 was Mr. Lincoln's last campaign for tho legislature. Feeling that ho had had enough honor out of the office, he probably aspired for a place of more distinction. Jesse B. Thomas, 0110 of the men who had represented the Democratic sido in tho great debate in the Presbyterian church, in a speech at the courthouse during tkis campaign, indulged in some fun at tho expense of the "Long Nine," reflecting somewhat more on Lincoln than the rest. The latter was not present, but being apprised by his friends of what had been said hastened to the meeting, and soon after Thomas closed stepped upon the platform and responded. The substance of his speech on this occasion was not so memorable as the manner of its delivery.

Ho felt tho sting of Thomas' allugir.vis, aud for the first time, on the stump or in public, resorted to mimicry for effect. In this, as will be seen later along, he was without a rival. Ho imitated 'xhomas in gesture and voice, at times caricaturing his walk find the very motion of his body. Thomas, liko everybody (:h-o, had some peculiarities of expression and gesture, and these Lincoln succeeded in rendering more prominent than ever. The crowd yelled and cheered as he continued. Encouraged by these demonstrations, the ludicrous features of the speaker's performance gave way to intense and scathing ridicule. Thomas, who was obliged to sit near by and endure the pain of this unique ordeal, was ordinarily sensitive, but the exhibition goaded him to desperation. He was so thoroughly wrought up with suppressed emotion that he actually gave way to tears.

He was selected as an elector on the Harrison ticket for president in 1840, andr as such stumped over a good portion of the state. In debate he frequently met Douglas, who had already become the standard bearer and exponent of Democratic principles. These joint meetings were spirited affr^rs sometimes, but at no time did he fura the Little Giant averse to a conflict "He was very sensitive," relates one of his.oolleagaes on the stumps "where he thought he had failed to meet the expectations of his friend*"
