The following message from Vienna had been
published by the Frankfort, papers without any
guarantee as to the authenticity of the news :
Vienna, Monday.—Through the opportune arii
valt.f :ho corps i armee ot Fie ri Marshal Claiu-
Gailfcs, oil the b&Uh* lield, the Austrians were vie
torious altera hot tight, and the French were
thrown back over the Ticino.
Great Britain. —The real business of Parlia
ment commenced on the 7th, when the Queen in
person delivered the following speech :
My Lord* and Gentlemen; —l avail myself with
Rat bfaction, in the present anxious state of public
affairs, of the advice ot my Parliament, which I
have HUiiminned to meet with the lead possible
delay.
I havo directed that papers shall be laid before
you from which you will learn how* earnest and
unceasing have been my endeavors to preserve
the peace of Europe. Thoee endeavors have un
happily (ailed, and war has been declared between
France and Sardinia 011 one side, aud Austria on
the other. Receiving assurance o! friendship from
both the contending parties, 1 intend to maintain
between t hem a strict and impartial neutrality, and
[hope with God’s assistance to preserve to my
people the blessing of continued peace.
Considering, however, the present etate of Eu
rope, 1 have deemed it necessary to the security of
my dominions and the honor 01 my Crown to in
riei se my naval forces to an amount exceeding that
which has been sanctioned by Parliament. I rely
with confidence on your cordial concurrence in this
precautionary measure of defensive policy.
The King ol the Two S:cries having announced
tome the death of the King, his father, and his own
accession, I have thong l l, in concert, with the
Emperor ot France, to renew my diplomatic inter
courae with the Court of Naples, which had been
suspended during the late reign.
All my other relations continue ou a perfectly
satisfactory tooting.
The rest of the speech is devoted to matters ot
h cal int-rest. Attention is directed to the bill to
carry out the recommendation of the Commissioner
in rt gard to the best mode of manning the Navy.
And in respect to the reform question the Queen
simply says that she shall have pleasure in giving
bi r sain tloQ to any well conridered measure, and
that should matters of more urgency relating to the
licence and financial condi;ion ol the country ne
cessitate a postponement, she hopes that the qtua
lion wili have attention at the commencement ofThe
OHS9UUI.
The Hpeeoh concluded by expressing a h>pe that
the deliberations of Parliament will tend to secure
to the country the continuance of peace abroad and
a progressing improvement m home
in Hit House o! Lords the address in reply to tiie
Queen’s speech was moved by Earl Powis, and
seconded ny Lord t*.fiord. The conduct of the
Loveiuun tit, both iu their domestic and foreign re
lations, was denounced by Lord (iruuvillc and
others, but after their speeches, iu defence by the
Ear’ of Malmesbury and the Earl of Derby, the ad
dress was agreed to.
iu the Commons, the address to the Crown was
moved by Mr. Egertou, and seconded by Sir J. El
phicstone. The Ma quis ot Dunningtou moved an
amendment to the fcfieot that tlie prejent Ministry
does not possess the contidenoe of t’ e House, lie
reprebeudi and the couduot of the Goveriimeut ou tlie
Jiutorin question. Mr. 11 anbury secouded the
auiendineut. Mr. i> Israeli defended the couise of
the Government, ami staled that the Reform ques
tion would be postpoi e.i t.ll the next session, and
that the foreign policy of the Goveinmeot would be
peace. He called for au immediate division. The
question was about to be put, but the opposition

Lonoow, Wednesday.—The Times this morning
publishes a summary of the official uew sreceivtd at
Vienna up to midnight of Monday. It is as follows :
There was a fierce battle a* Turbigo and Bulla
lor aon the 4th. At firsi, only two brigade* of the
h\rst coip> w ere engaged, but they Wire subse
quently reinforced aud iu the afte'. noon oi the
same cay the Third Aurt, ian corps took part in the
action. Thar© was very hard fighting at Buffaiora,
some times to the advantage ot the French, and
tome times to that of the Austrians The battle
lasted till late in the night, and ou the sth was con
tinued ar Magenta. The allies made no progress
on this day. Two treeh Austrian corps were en
gaged. and in the afternoon ihe Acsrrians took up
a fiauk position b;tween Abb-ate Grasso and Bi
i fciV<■. The Austrians have taken many prisoners
The lose on both side*? was very great. The Aus
tnar.es had four generals and five staff officers
wounded. One major was killed.
Tne Ttmts, in its editorial remarks ou the sub
.is*'. : now seems probable that this hard
tigh* is eve-’ yet uudecided, but that on the whole
the French have the best ot it
ii.e absence of late telegrams by way of Paris
is not coiijui -red indica ive of French success.
The London Adven ser rays it was rumored last
night iuat tne Government had received ate egram
from the Br.tisk Minister at \ ieuns, announcing an
Austrian victory.
The *. piui.'c was be wmieg current iu London that
the victory ot Magenta w . e a victory in which the
Ft ench were defeated. and their failure to occupy
Milan, omy 1- miles iivuj Msgenia stieogfLened
this view
The movement which preceded the battle of Ma
genta was not o.early stated, but it was previously
announced that the a.-iee were about to cross the
Ticino to the number of 100,000 men. and it is pre
>uined the rapid movement ot the allied army pre
vented the Austrians from completing tne retreat
which they bad commenced, and compelled them to
accept battle on the barks of the river
The London Pee! save that Gen McMahon Jwaf
raised on the battle field to the rank of Marshal.
The Paris correspondent oi the London Post says
the Em pel or Napoleon was present at the battle of
Megftita, but did not command in person
TLe Pat rtf says that Marshal Baraguay and HiUiers
was removed from his command and replaced by
Gen. Forey. Marshal Vaffiant is superseded by
Gen Rand ua, and the Minis f ry of War is to
bdcfd provisionally to Gee Horamr..
There were rumors in Palis on the Slh
French loss was from 9000 to 1*2,000 men kors du
combat. Gens. Neil and McManou were said to be
among the wounded.
The Pans papan variously estimate the* forces
engaged at lOO.I’OO to 120,000 Fiench, and 130,000
to 180,000 Auatrains.

Lieutenant Field-Marshal Staaion's urders were

at noon. Lieutenant-Field Marshal Urban was to

Eighth and Fourth battalions of the regim-nte ot

displayed an overwhelming force against M.sjor-
Genr’a! Gaal and General Braum, withonebat
tai.ou ft Heaae aud one battalion of Hoes bach. At
ter an obstinate bght M ntebello was evacuated.
The enemy, who had suffered considerably, was

our infantry attacked the enemy cavalry with the
bayonet, and threw them into disorder. It. also
repea: eilly happened that the troops, when advauo
ing to th* attack, reserved their tire uutil they
were within thirty pacts of the enemy. The hussars
and L timers made the most dexterous use of their
different weapons. As our artillery advanced quite
close to the enemy, it a effect was quite terrible.
Very few of our nu-.n w ;• wounded by the caun< a
of the enemy, who tired over their heads. The
enemy’s infantry tired well. The report re lative to
his cavalry is 1*- s favorable. It was not equal to
our Hussars and Lancers, and avoided every seri

As the thunder of the r.aun 1. had brought Lieu
tenant General Creuneville trom Broni, who*e lie
was with a part ot the Brigade Fehlmeyer, towards
Casteggio, Lieutenant Geueral Stuuiou posted him
at Santa Giulett-*., in ord-r that ho might, if neces

tii retreat. As the r e was no pursuit General Crcn
neville returned in the evening to Stradella. Du
ring the advance aud retreat General Prince von
H<*sse effectually protected the right liauk of the

if appears that we were opposed to the whole
corps d'armee of Baraguay d’Hilliers and a Pied
montese brigade. According to receiv
ed the French bad twelve regiments of the line,
some battailous of Chaes-iurj and one regiment of
cavalry iu action, aud the Sardinians one brigade
and the cavalry regiment “Novara.” The reserves,
which w-re very poweifuiwere continually rein
forced. Field Marshal-Lietenant Stadion estimates
the force of the enemy at 10,000 men at least. The
sacrifice ot life was great, nut the information re
quired by the reconnoiesance is extremely satislacto
-1 y lam still in expectation of the detailed reports.
Count Stadion speaks highly of the bravery ot all
the troops engaged. When the detailed reports are
sent in I wiil make known to your Majesty the
names of the persons who particularly distinguished
themslvea.
Unfortunately the sacrifice of life during this
glorious buttle was very great, hix hundred wound
ed men, twenty of whom wire officers, were
brought, to Pavia, Major Buttner, oi the general
staff, which whs on a special mission at Vaccarjz
za, and took part in the expedition, and M jor
Dantes, of the third Jager Baltaliou, were killed.
Lieutenant-Colonel Speilberger, and Major Piers,
(this officer, who had his aim shot off', was probably
If ken prisoner by the French.) of tho “Archduke
Charles,” are probabh dead, aa they were wound
ed on the field of battle.
1 am proud to be able to say that the troops
have, by their spirit and courage, proved that they
are worthy of your Majesty’s favor, and any ex
pression of satisfaction on the purt of their illus
trious Emperor aud Commander will be an incen
tive to glorious deeds
A list of caHualities is appended to this report,
and show’s the following total numbers; *J94 men
and iJU horses killed, 718 men and ten horses wound
ed. and 283 missing. An official dispatch of the
YGth met., from Pavia, stales that CSO wounded pri
vate soldiers and ‘J7 officers are in the hospitals
there; xM of the officers and 307 of their men are
dangerously wounded.
Austrian Headquarters, Garlasco, May 22.
—The affair of Friday ia coueiuered here as rather
a disaster. The full returns of killed and wounded
arrived to-day, and exceed very much the number
I mentioned yesterday. That number was lost, by
Count SLadion’s own corps alone, but he had erio
with him one brigade of Gen. d’Urban’s corps, aud
this suffered more than auy other. It is blamed
for the excess of ardor which turned the reconnois
gan ci* into a battle. Still, too much dash is a fault
so easily forgiven iu a eoldier that in spite of all
1< sses,the feeling he re ia much what, it wao iu the
Crimea alter the gallant charge of Balaklava—re
gret ff.r ihe fallen, but full confidence that such
troops can face auy thing.
During the thickest ot the light one poor French
boy deserted, riding etright ar a battery of artillery
which was tiring, and also in the line of lire of Hl9
French guns. His horse was shot, but lie got up
and walked coolly on. When asked why he came
over, he said hi tisliked leaving home and he
wanted to go back.
Major Piers, of the Austrian service, a gentle
man oi an Irish family, was severely wounded and
lying helpless, when I have been informed by
more than one eye witness, be was killed by a
French Chasseur Such an act has only to be men
tioned, I am confident, to insure such orders being
given as will prevent anything of the kind happen
ing again.

THE FRENCH LOAN—REPORT TO THE EMPEROR.
The Moiiiteur contains the following:
Paris, Saturday, May 28, 1859.
Sire : The Administration has just received the
lari communication touching the loan of five hun
dred millions. 1 hasten as iu duty bound, to ren
der an account to your Majesty of the final result
of the subscription, and make known to the publio
the bases upon which the rente* that have to be
subscribed in the ledger of the national debt will be
distributed amongst the subscribers. On the day
alter the closing of the operation, when I bad the
honor of addressing my Gist report to your Mfjesty,
the returns from the departments had only partially
arrived. I could then only indicate, as 1 took care
to announce, temporary estimates, which have
been since found to be tar below the reality, and
are now completely ascertained. As the suoscrip
tion approached its term, the desire of the public
assumed more ami inoret l e nature of a patriotic
demonstration. The annexed list, which etateß for
eac h department the exact number of the subscri
bers and the amount of the capital subscribed, is an
eloquent testimony to the sentiments of confidence
and devotedners that have impelled the people to
enter the subscription offices 1 have much happi
ness iu laying it before your Majesty.
According to the list the number of persons who
took p-irt in the subscription by paying into the re
ceiving offices of tue State the earnest of one
tenth, amounts to nearly seven hundred thousand,
(690,190.)
in itself alone this total surpasses by more than a
hundred thousand share-takers that of all the sub
scribers to the thiee first loans taken together.* I
need not point out the full importance of this in a
political and financial point of view.
It is thus divided :
At Paris 215.025
In the department;* 445,1&
The sum subscribed is above tw*o miltards five
hundred millions {2,509,559,7761.) it is equal to more
than five times ihe sum demanded.
Paris has supplied 1 047,6*17,636
The departments 961,922,140
The “coupures” of l*-... 1117.013.166
The superior subscriptions at lOf 2,402.516,509
7he deposi sos a tent.i to be paid in nine days,
at Paris aud iu the departments, is more thau two
hundred and titty-one millions (250,955,977f.)t
I immediately adopted the necessary measures
for restoring to circulation as soon as possible that
portion of this sum which has to be returned to
the publio. The reimbursements made at Paris
amount already to upwards of seventy-three mil
lions
The data required to serve as a basis for the li
quidation being now possessed by the administra
tion, this intricate labor will be carried on with
the greatest activity.
1 have the honor of submitting for your Majesty's
approbate n the principles in accordance with
which the distribution will have to be made.
Tae loan authorised by the law of the 2d of May,
inst., comprises a principal sum of 500 millions and
a supplement of 20 millions, intended to facilitate
the expenses ot liquidation aud cover the expenses
of discount.
On this sum of 520 millions, we have first of all
to strike oil—
1. The amount of the 10 franc subscriptions that
are irreducible.
2. The capital of the Rente* due to the subscri
bers of 20 30, 40. and 50 francs, who, by mea.B of
the minimum of 10 francs of Re'i'e established by
the decree of the 3i idpt . will receive more than
their proportional quota.
The two sums sailed together amounUo 116,561,-
956f.
The surplus, or B,3i*3.!'i<6,B'Jof., will have to be,
as far a? it is practicable distributed at the rate of
a franc to the mark amongst all the other subscri-
The mathematical share accruing to each would
be ITr. tHo. per cent, of the same saoeeribed.
Bat the rules that regulate the ledger of the pub
lic debt, and the principles laid down by the above
mentioned ministerial decree tua! determines the
condition it the loan, would not permit me to fol
low cut so strict a calculation. As in the previous
loan-, ti e liquidation having to be made by multi
ples ot 10 trance for the discountab.e rentes, and
by multiples of 100 traces for the other category,
certain subscribers will receive a little more, ana
others a little leas, than the nominal quota.
From ail these difference* a disposable balance of
no great importance will result. From motives of
equity I think this remnent ought to be assigned to
the small subscribers of 70, SO, 140, 200, i.O, d2O,
and 380 francs, they being least favored by the re
ductioa Sa ale.
Should the Emperor accept these propositions I
beg hie Majesty that he will deign to invest with
his approbation the present report.
I am. with the most profound respect, sire, your
most humble, obedient aud faithful subject.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE *29, 18.31).
Ti:** flerocH of the Battle of Jluaeota*
From the New Y >rk Times and Herald we con
j tieu9 the following :
I MARSHAL M MAHON, DUKE CF MAGENTA.
It would appear that this distinguished officer
who was in command of the aecoua corps of the
! arr-.y of the Alps, has won the chief boner of the
| bat ti* 1 ot Ma/enta, for we Cad that the Emperor
J has b&a f owed upon him in the field of fame the
| baton of a Martha! of France and lue tide of Duke
f Magenta—juat as the firet Napoleon, sixty-fire
years ago. and near the same field, acknowledged
the hkiiland intrepidity of Marshall Augereau by
bestowing * n him the title of Duke of Castigiioce.
Geueral McMahon, then Count, was recalled from
the command in chief of tne French troop3 of Afri
ca, to take part in the Itsiiau campaign, where he
has already won hie baton and dukedom As hie
narr.o implies, he is of Irish extraction, and has well
upheld the character for cash and intrepidity which
soldiers oft hat race have won for theirsslves in the
military service of every country iu the world
Since ISfl when be commanded a battalion of
chasseurs, General McMahon has been almost con
stantly in the firid The soldiers love him, believe
in him. aud wiII follow him with confident*** across
the lire of the enemy, through wfcioh he w iil pierce
wiih his sword uplil ed, Hini.iug eye, the coolness of
a eader and the spirit of a brave soldier. He it was
who planted the French colors on the Mamelon on
that terrible day when Sebastopol fell.
GENERAL ESPINAtSE.
Esprit Charles Marie Espinasse, who is amoug
the killed, was a graduate of the school of St. Cyr.
Born in th vi'iage of S*i=-2ac, Aprils, 1815 % during
the “Hundred Days.” He left the school in 1833,
and won liia first steps in Algeria As Chef de lia
taillon he fought ia 1845 at the beadot th** Zou
aves , and in 1849 commanded the Forty second of
the Line at the siege of Rome. He was moat active
iu suppressing the insurrection of December, 1851,
and devotea nimseit to the cause of the President
and of public order. Immediately on the procla
mation of the Empire, he became an aid-de camp
of the Emperor. In the Crimea he fought gallantly
by the side of the Sardinians at Tchernaya, and
was one of the first to follow Gen. McMahon into
the Malakr.fT. When Paris was shocked and exci
ted by the Orsini affair iu January, 1858, Gen. Es
piu&sse was made Minister of Public Safely iu the
place of M. Biliault. Although thi3 disappointment
caused much alarm and concern as an invasion of
the civil service by h military man, Gen. Espinasss
administered his office with commendable modera
tion ; and when he made wav for a more liberal
system in the person of M. Delangie, became a
Senator ot the Empire.
MARSHAL FRANC IS CERTAIN CAKROBERT.
This distinguished officer, who is reported as hav
ing been mortally wounded at the battle of Magen
ta, was in command ut the central corps of the
French army. When war with Russia broke
out, Gen. Cacrobert, iu March, toi-k command of
Lbe tirst division of the army of the East, which was
eo trightfuly dacimated by cholera in the disastrous
campaign of tho ilobrutachs. Subsequently be
played a leading part in the campaign <f the Cri
mea, Busteiuiug at the battle of the Alma the fir?t
shock of the Russian attack, and storming the
heights with the Zjuaves, until Gen. Foray came
up to his support. Although badly wounded in the
arm, he remained 011 the field until the close of the
day. two days afier that victory, Marshal St. Ar
naud, perceiving his death approaching, resigned
the chief Command of the allied armies into the
hands of Gen. Canrobert, in conformity with secret
instructions rsceived from the Emperor, March I*2,
18.)<l. Gen. Canrobert commanded at lukermann,
opened the Hues before Sebastopol, and was pro
ceeding rapidly toward the capture of the city,
when the refusal or jea'oua he&itafiou ot Lord Rag
lan to co-operate heartily with his ady, disgusted
hnu wi:h his position, and he suddenly resigned it
into the hand:.* of Gen. Pelicsffr, gracefully resum
ing ffri subordinate command ot the first corps
tVarmee. Two months aftewards he returned to
France, and there, on the 10th of May, 18f>(>, ha
received simultaneously with Gens. Bosquet and
Randon. the baton of marshal cf France, i’he poei
tion of Senator was aa incident of this office. He
was bom iu 1809.
GENERAL FORET.
The battle of Montebello, the first fight in the
Kalian campaign, was won by the troops of the
Forty brigade, which formed part of the first divis
ion of the army, under the command of Marshal
Baraguay d’Hiiliers. At this battle Forey showed
himself such a brave aud gallant officer tha* the
Emperor, when ho visited the field, embraced him
and publicly tbauked him for the victory he had
won. He has now, it would seem, distinguished
himself as highly iu the battle of Magenta ; and it
is not a matter of surprise that he has been promo
ted !• the command of the division iu which he
served. We are told that Gen. Baraguay d’Hiliieis
has beeu superseded by him in command of the first
corps of the ai my. General Forey, as almost all
Ihe General officers of the French army, distin
guished himself in Africa, vhere he served for ten
years a*3 Colonel of the *J6th regiment. He com
manded a brigade in Paris un the occasion of the
coup d'etat, and was at the head of the column of
troops who escorted the mambers of the National
Assembly, at the time ol their dissolution, from the
place ot meeting to tho barracks of the Quai d'Or
ay. After the formation of the Army ot the East,
he had the command of the fourth division ; he
landed at Pyrea. was present at the battle of Aims,
and it. was he who, ia the morning of the filth of
November, vigorously repulsed the Russians, who
tried to penetrare into the French trenches while
the battle of Inkermann was going on.
MARSHAL BARAGUAY D’HILLIERS.
It would appear that Marshal D’Hilliers has been
deprived of his command of the first corps of the
army, aud that post conferred on General Forey.
This would imply that the former has not commend
ed himself by his soldierly skill or activity in the
favorable notice of the Emperor. It is a little re
markable that thefilst Napoleon, in his first Italian
campaign, deprived in the same way Marshal
Valette of his commaud on the heights of Castig
lione, and iu the presence of the troops, so as to
impress upon his officers the necessity of vigor and
activity. Probably when the full details of the bat
tle of Magenta reach us wo may get at the cause of
Marshal D'HiUdera’ deprivation of command. We
know that iu reference to the battle of Montebello
an anecdote is told which may serve as an inkling of
the Emperor’s sentiments towards him. It appears
that during the night from the 19th to the his
Majesty the Emperor was knocked up in the mid
dle of the night by an aide-de camp from Marshal
Baraguay D’Hilliers, telling him he expected to be
atta< ked at daybreak, or very soon alter ! “Est ce
la tout /” retorted the Imperial Commander in
Chief, “cerieluit vruiment pas la peine de vous
deranger .” (What is that all? It was hardly
worth while to trouble you for such a message )
It may b9ti at the Marshal was engaged iu the
battle of Magenta, and that the Emperor thought
he did not show a sufficient amount of daeh or im
petuosity, or his loss of command may have beeu
attributable to some other cause. Perhaps he was
offended at the notice taken of Forey, and resigned
in a pout. He bad the reputation of being one of
the firmest aud most energetic of officers, always
prompt and decisive, and with a sound and reliable
Judgment. In 1819 he was military Governor of
Rome and commander-in-chief of the French army
iu Italy. He commanded a division in the Crimean
campaign, aud alter four of days open trench he en
tered Bomaraund and inscribed on the Frenchfiagthe
first victory of that war. The order of the day, ad
dressed from his head-quarters at Genoa to the first
corps of the army of Italy, is as follows :
Soldiers !—lu 1796 and 1800 the French army,
under the orders of Geueral Bonaparte, obtained in
Italy glorious victories over the same enemies
whom we are about to combat. Several demi-brig
ades theu acquired the designation of Terrible or
Invincible, which each of you, by his courage,
firmness and discipline, will endeavor to give to his
standard. Soldiers! have confidence in me, as 1 have
in you. Let us show ourselves worthy of France
and of the Emperor : and let ns so act, that one day
ir. 9hall be said of us what was said of our fathers,
as expressing all titles of glory . “He belonged to
the army of Italy!”
THK AUSTRIAN COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.
Baron Ilenry de Hess, who commands the Aus
trian army, has grown old iu tLe service ol his
country, having seen more winters thau perhaps
any otiier officer or soldier counscted with either
army. He was born in Vienna iu 1788, and ie con
sequently seventy-two years old. He entered the
army as an ensign in 1805, and was for gome time
on the general staff. He was at the battle of Wa
gram in 18(9, when the Austrians were defeated
by Napoleon Bonaparte, aud which battle was fol
lowed by the treaty ot Sohonbrnnn. He served all
tbr.ugh"the continental war, and received many
foreign decorations, lie was gazetted to the rank
of Colonel in 1829, and next year was placed at the
head of a division of the staff in Lombardy, having
earned for himself the reputation of being one of
the best officers in the Austrian army. lie was
created field marshal in 1842, and continued at
tached to the Austrian army in Italy.
From June, 1849, to July, 1850, he was Secretary
of War, and during the years 1855 and 1856 he
was employed as a negotiator at the Court of Rus
sia. His mission related to the Eastern question,
which he confuted as much as he was able for the
benefit of Austria. He obtained sis a reward for
this service the command us the fifth corps d'armee
in Italy of the Austrian army, and has the merit of
being the artisan of his own military fortune. He
is looked upon as a good strategist. Radetzky,
whose principal adviser he was for a long time, held
him in the greatest esteem, and he shared in the
greater part of the old marshal’s successes.
Baltimore and Savannah Steamship Company.
—The line of steamships between this port and Sa
vannah cannot but be regarded as of the highest
importance to oui city, and it is gratifying to learn
that the history of the operations of the Baltimore
and Savannah Steamship Company for the past
y ear are so very satisfactory as to have encouraged
the directors to appeal to the merchants of our city
for turther aid in order to place the tine upon a se
cure and permanent basis, and to achieve the full
measure of tbe results which may confidently de
monstrate that proper lacilities are only required
to rapidly develop a valuable trade with our South
ern markets. Tbe treasurer's reports show the net
earn iiigs-ot the line fer tbe year to have been equal
to twenty-five per cent, open the present stock
subscription, and this has been achieved in the lace
of difficulties and embarrasments by no means slight
in character.
The directors in order to relieve the embarrass
ments of tbe Company, as their first act, op their
own Dersonal liabilities borrowed $25,000, ol which
$12,000 have been paid out of the earnings of the
Company, and the line is now placed upon a sub
stantial tooting, and ha* proved that failures to es
tablish etcam lines for our coasting trade have been
owiutf entirely to the want of capital, and not to
tfce want of oueinees to make them remunerative.
The periodical departures and speedy and certain
voyages of steamers trebles the merchants tac:ii
ties ioi completing business transactions and ter
minating risks, over those afforded by sailing vea
eeic.
The Company's ships now consist of the “City of
Norfolk and the “Commerce.’’ If this lice is to
be sustained in a manner to compete with our
rivals of Northern cities and retain tor Baltimore
the valuable and increasing trade of which it is the
vehicle,, the Board of Directors consider it neces
sary to dispose of the steamer Commerce and to
place on the route with the City cf Norfolk a etip
of equal capacity and speed. The Board therefore
intend, if tbe requisite amount can be obtained, to
proceed at once to build a steamer adapted in
every respect to the character of the trade between
Ba! nmore and Savannah. In order to accomplish
this object and to pay off the present indebtenese,
farther subscriptions to the amount of s(j i >,ov*o wil.
be required. Os this sum $25,000 has already been
feuhseribed, and it is understood that an agent
oi the Company will call on the stockholders
and other citiseua this week to give them the
opportunity to make up the balance. It is to be
hoped that ihere will be a prompt response to tris
application, and the remaining $35,000 quickly
made up. If with a Company already established,
with its ability to support itself and to open to our
city a valuable and much needed trade cemonstra
ted. there does not exist among us the willinguese
and tbe enterprise to put the fine at once upon a
firm and scffisien: basis, we cannot but conclude
that it will hereafter be folly to talk of Baltimore
taking her proper position as a commercial city.
The response to the call tor additional subscriptions
will be tbe answer to this question. — Bait. Amer.

Interesting War Item#.
From the foreign papers by the Europa we make
up the following summary of interesting items. A
letter deacribt s:
THE FRENCH HOSPITALS.
A gray bearded Piedmontense came up after the
1 battle ot Moc ebello to his, son w ounded by a ball
the hand. As he left the bouse where the yourg
uorsen.au bad beeu carried, ho was asked about ihe
w-Tjud. “Nuthiog but a acatcb,” said he—• would
have h:s wrist amputated.” This ia ihe language of
the cld Romans. This ardor, dash, and strong will,
energetic and co<!, will show you With what impetu
osity tho war wili be waged. It seems as if each
soldier who bears on his cap the white cross of
the house ot Savoy, bad a personal quarrel to
avenge: it not the fighting ot an army, but ot a
nation.
Tne Austrian Colonel that was made prisoner is
dead They Bay that the Emperer. who went to see
him through courtesy, recog:: z 3 d him. The Colonel
bad last year been presented Dy Al. DeUubner at
the Tuilleries. Strange fortune—the ambassador \ 6
gone, his daughter has become a Frenchwoman,
and tee Colonel has foun-1 bis death at Montebello.
I have seen some of our wounded at the hospital
of 8:. Catherine. They ate well cared for. A
Gallic gaiety helps them to sustain these nursery
consequences of battle ; those of them who are
less dangerously wounded, find strength enough to
make jokes, and their comrades smile. Toere is a
corporal cf Voitigeurs. who has a marvellous gilt
of loquacity, he would certainly have been a feu it
leUtniste if he had rot been a corporal. As soon as
he opens his mouth every body listens in silence
Ail these stories invariably commence with the
words, * Once upon a time.”
This once upon a timc has power to suspend ail
communication and ail grief'. How many roman
cere can toast of as mucu ? There s some touching
in the - ience aud attention of the.-o poor soldiers as
their languishing heads are turned towards the nnr
rator. Die halt smiles in advance like a child
who is about to listen to a story that he knows by
heart, but always charms uim ; another suppresses
a sigh; another opens wide his eyes which under
the veil of suffering a spark seems to light up again.
My Corporai has a Tyrolean bullet in his ebouldtr
—a mere nothing he say*.
It was a sad eight when the wounded arrived at
the railroad station. It was at night and the hall
was lighted by torches; from each w agon were
taken out indistinct forms ; some stiff’aud ied by the

POPULAR OPINION IN ENGLAND.
The London Daily News says : “ The war on the
Po is often spoken of as if it were waged for dy
nastic purposes, to put this man ou the throne of
Central Italy, or the other ou the Throne of Naples.
But does any one suppose that the Eir.peior Napo
leon having pledger! the power of France before
ail Europe to the cause of Italian Independence,
auy government which, iu the mutation of events,
might succeed him would be able to abandon the
work ! Ii the Compte de Paris were to ascend
tho throne to morrow, ids ur a r act would most like
ly be to send another corps d'armee to Italy. The
Emperor’s strength lies in the cause he has so os
tensibly espoused. The nation mey tire of a war
in which it is to gain nothiug but glory, but no go
vernment can afford to take lower ground than that
which the Emperor has occupied. And as in France,
so in Europe. A war oi aggression of the cld Na
poleonic type w’ould have st once banded ah Eu
rope against France. But ic every country on the
continent, even in Germany, where the anti-
Gallicau spirit is nourished by the memory of old
wrongs, men feel that Louis Napoleon has puthim
self in a position morally unassailable.”
THE CHARACTER AND DURATION OF THE CONTEST.
The apprehenaions entertained by some persons
that the war in Italy cannot be promptly brought to
a conclusion, are considered by the Paya as ill
founded, and it assigns it a rearens for that opinion
in an article of some length, from which we take the
fo'lowing extract:
“It is supposed that the Austrians, defeated in
the open ffeld by tlie Allies, or even refusing bat
tle, wid retreat, and seek refuge iu the formidable
triangle of fortrecees situated to the South of the
Lake of Grada, aud foimed by Mantua, Verona
and Peschiera. It is said that that position is im
pregnable ; or, at least, that the Austrians occupy
ing it, can indefinitely prolong the war. Ltt us
suppose for a moment the hypothesis realised. It
the Austrians 3eek reluge behind the cannon ot
their fortresses, after battles lost or avoided, the
effect will be tne tame both for Europe ai.d her
troops, as a definitive defeat—for to the soldier as
to everybody else, to conquer is to advance—to re
treat is to be vanquished; and if the Austrian
troops abandon Lombardy, and retire to the tri
angle, Austria will confess both before her own
arms and before Europe, her absolute want of
pow’er to maintain a campaign aud to defend her
Italian possessions. But can a power govern which
cannot protect ? From the moment that the Aus
trian army is confined within the celebrated tri
aogle, the object of tho war undertaken by the
Emperor Napoleon will be very nearly attained, as
Lombardy will be almost eniirely delivered from
the foreign yoke. The Aumrian Governors will
quit the towns ; the country will be organised on
lue basis of its own nationality ; a national admin
istration will be adopted; the people become free,
the Italian llag wJI triumphantly lloat from every
bill. Iu this picture there would be only one dark
spot. The presence of the Austrians in their las*
fortress would cause the state of war to continue,
inasmuch as it would bo ameuauce to the results
obtained, and would force tho French army to stay
on Italian territory, in order to maintain what it
had accomplished. It wouid then be necessary in
this hypothesis to drive the Austrian army trom its
last retreat. Now, without speaking of the superi
ority of the French artillery, which would enable
us to overwhelm the Austrians while remaining out
of reach of theirs, aud consequently force them to
quit their shelter aud rick a regular battle—it is
certain that when the question had arrived at that
point it wouid be implicitly solved. It would be
demonstrated that Austria cannot keep Lombardy
—her complete aud definite expulsion w’ould be
come certain in the eyes of all governments, aud
would ouly be a question of more or less gunpowder
10 be buu.t, and more or lees blood to be shed.”
The coucluaion at wk'ch the Pays arrives from
this argumentation is, that Austria, being unable to
carry on the war for any length of time, in conse
quence of ihe admitted difficulties ot her financial
position, must then, though unwillingly, comprehend
that she cannot proceed with the war, and should
she refuse, Europe will interfere.
NARROW ESCAI*E OK NAPOLEON.
In his visit to tae field of battle at Montebello the
Emperor Napoleon narrowly escaped being ui>ide
prisoner. lie had pushed on as far as Casteggio,
and was observing with his telescope the movements
cf tbe enemy between Barbianello and the Portico
del Stella upon the Po, when feudd< illy a detach
ment of Austrians presented themselves before him,
only two hundred paces distant. W bether they had
lost their way or whether they had advanced thus
far from mere hardihood cannot be told ; but it is
probable that the latter supposition is correct, in
asmuch as Ihe advanced posts cf the Austrians are
much more energetic and daring than those of the
Franoo-Sardiniaus. Directly, however, the Empe
ror saw them, Le changed color, threw away his
cigar, drove the spurs into his horses flanks, and
galloped bick to Voghera at a pace which would
have done honor to the winner of the Derby.
SELF-SACRIFICE OF A BOLDIER.
Gen. de fSonnaz, whose ebivalric courage Las
been so much admired, says a Turin letter, was on
the point of being killed by an Austrain chasseur,
who was taking aim at him with his rifle. A sol
dier, seeing the danger, dashed forward and himself
received the ball, aud fell severely wounded, well
satisfied, however, with having saved the life of
his commander. This soldier was oneot tbe lom
bard volunteers, the Marquis Fadina He is njw
at Voghera, but his wound excites serious uneasi
A letter from Marengo of the 26th ult. says:—
Two grenadiers of the guard having entered a store
room and filled their canteens with wine lrom a cask
in which they bored a hole, the Emperor has pun
ished them by depriving them of the honor of ta
king part in the campaign, and has sent them back
to France to the depot of their regiment. This pun
ishment has been announced in au order of the day
from Marshal Vaillant, &Dd has created a great sen
sation among the troops. The health of the troops
continues satisfactory. This is ow'ing so their being
in good spirit* and abundantly fed.
f.ARIHALDI’s SECOND VICTORY.
The first fight of Garibaldi ony engaged a few
hundred troops. The second attack by the Aus
trians was of a more serious character. It was
effected by a brigade SUOO ptrong, with ten field
pieces and two squadrons of Uhlans. After a first
discharge of their muskets, the Italian volunteers
assaulted the enemy with the bayonet, and with so
n-.uch impetuosity that the Austrian ceutre was
obliged to fail back on its left wing, already en
gaged by a battalion on our right wing. Now the
fight became general—a tremendous hand to hand
tight, in which every inch of ground was bravely
disputed by both armies. The enemy* artillery
was of no more use, because Garibaldi, having
none, had ordered his men to tight hand to hand,
with swords and bayonets. At the report of the
musketry and artillery, the country people hasten
ed to the scene of action with pitchforks, halfpikes
and cleavers. “It wp.s a dreadful scene of slaugh
ter,” said an eye-witness to me, “which lasted three
hours. M Nothing can give an idea of the impetu
oeity of those Italians who could at last reveDge so
many wrongs—sj many cruelties. It was almost
madness. Two brothers Strambio, one captain
and another lieutenant, weie seen to leap into the
irside of a hedge of bayonets, and eut down Croats
as if they had been puppets. A Count Montanari,
from Verona, whose brother had been banged, in
1853, by Kadetsky’s order, was running up and
down the bloody field, striking right aud left wfith
his powerful sword.
At 2 o’clock the Austrian General was obliged
to give the order for a retreat, as his men were
falling in all directions. Garibaldi was close at
their heels till they reached the etrong position of
Mainate, where they stopped to repair tueir losee .
Gen. Beuret, who was killed a*. Montebello, has
been buried in the cemetery at that place ; but his
heart, at the request of his family, has been sent to
France.

ENGLAND DESTINED TO AID AUSTRIA.
The dockyards and arsenals resound with the
note of preparation, bounties for seamen are more
than doubled, rifle clubs are formed—and all th*,
pf course, is done to get ready to fight the Aus
trians. the mortal enemies of England. All these
people who are arming ft-e quite sure that they
neither intend to. nor will tight, and that even if
they do, it will be on the aide of Austria or tbe
Pope. We Bhall see. Meanwhile, we feel able to
asure our readers that England will fight on that
eide or not at all, and that this will be so under any
possible government, Whig or Tory.
The Western Steam3oats. —The boa’a on the
western rivers of the United States, are regaining
their old reputation of being the moat unsafe vehi
cles for man and property ever invented. Fora
time, under ihe operation of some stringent legisla
tion. their character somewhat improved, but re
peated and destructive explosions of late show that
they are fiat getting back to their evil old ways.—
There is a recklessness of life on the western waters
which would disgrace the most barbarous tribes on
the globe. The steamboats in use coat generally
from ten to fifty thousand dollars each ; they are
not built nor expected to last more than three years,
within which period they are bruised, broken and
snagged to pieces, or exploded. Tbe cheap and
fragile character of these boats renders them more
liable to accidents, but it is believed that the explo
sions and many other accidents occurring on tbe
western rivers are more the results of intemperance
than any other cause. No traveller should risk his
life on a boat which is cfiicered and engineered by
drinking men. The proprietors and directors of
all public conveyances, whether moved by steam or
even horse power, ought never to employ drinking
men. If they do, they are morally responsible for
tfce lose of life and deetruction of property which
may be caused by their agents.
From the Constitutionalist.
The Slave Trade—Judge Campbell.
It seems Fiat a grand jury iu Montgomery, AU ,
under the charge of Judge Campbell, has tumid
several true biiia against “preaninent citizen*” for a
violation of the laws prohibiting the slave trade;
aud according *0 a loiter in the Dispatch, another
“prominent cit zeu” is to lead other * prominent cit
izens” in a mob, to annihilate the Judge, and nulli
ty the law. Seine people certainly have very s 11-
gu ar notions of the ciiaiacter required to consti
tute “first families” ami “prominent citizens” now a
days. In the purer da} sos the Republic, do man
stood an j chance fir such a character, unless bo
showed some respect tor tha laws and Constitution
of his country —espec ally when passed by his own
Keprescntat'vea—to protect his own interest, and at
the urgent iustauce of that section to which ue be
longs. I must indulge the hope, notwithstanding
ihe oracular tone of the correspondent of the Dis
patch, that something of the same honest patriot
ism still exists at the South. I have no great faith
in the prophecies of the Dispatch's correspondent,
but if he be right, I am inclined to think that these
‘promiuent citizens” might be somewhat better em
ployed.
Who is Judge Campbell? He is a native of
Wilkes couuty, Georgia; a man of commanding
talent —a profound juris*, and of irreproachable in
tegrity . The on y objection ever whispered against
his appointment to the responsible national office
he now holds, was his ultra zeal as a southern poli
tician. This objtc ion was easily answered by his
known and acknowledged patriotism, and his integ
rity as p. man.
Tbs is Judge Campbell; now, what is the his
tory of the lair, for administering which, he is to be
made the victim of a Montgomery mob ? Efforts
are *onlir ually made to impress upon tLe ignorant
that this law was imposed upon the unwilling South
by the sectional hostility of the North, “aud to
please England.” The truth is, as all intelligent
men know, that whilst the United States led the
Christian world iu the abolition of the slave trade,
the South led the Union. There is no part of the
civilised werid that would be so much benefited
by the revival of the slave trade in the South, as
old England, and do part of t>e United States
would be ?-o much benetitted as Aetc England. In
matters cf coteinporaneoas history, we need no
statistics—no proof. Every one can move and act
as by the light ot a noon day sun. Do we not
know as a fact, that England i? the most extensive
cotton manufacturing country ic the world ? Do
we not kuow that she in various ways, is Constantly
manifesting her uneasiness at tho deficiency ot the
cotton supp y, and L resorting to various expensive
expedients to provide against this apprehended
evil? Do we not know that New England is moie
largely engaged iu cotton manufactures than any
other sectiou ol the Uuion ? Do we not know that
the cotton manufacturers cf both Old England and
New England (aud everywhere else ) are never so
prosperous as when cotton is abundant and low,
and never so depressed as when cotton is deficient
and high ? The high price affects the consumption.
The demand is reduced, and they have a smaller
profit on the business they do. If there be any body
who wifi not admit these positions, any formal proof
would be wasted upon them
I will venture another position, and sustain it by
the same kind of proof—that is, fac's of our own
tune , known to everybody , avid acknowledged by
every candid man. ‘that position is , that the South
has never, since the adoption of the. Constitution,
been so prosperous , either positively or compara
tively, as of late years , and at the present time, I
will turl her add, ihat at no time within the same
period has llir institution of slavery in the southern
States been eo secure. Slavery as it is—where it
is—and ary where where it ought to go, is as 9afe
as it it were colonized within the middle of the
rartb. And if the South co. tiiiues true to her
honor and constitutional engagements, this security
will continue to strengthen. This comparative
prosperity, and increased and increasing security
hare been mainly, if not emirely, owing to the
abolition of the slave trade.
Hut, lor ibe present., let in see the history of the
law—so degrading to tbs South as to justify the
peijury of juries, and the abolition of the judiciary
by revolutionary mobs.
When the Constitution was framed, ali tho States
were slave States, except one , and every State de
sired the immediate abolition of the slave trade,
except two. Every State (or colony) bad passed re
htrie.ive laws against the trade except one. But
Caro ina ami Georgia had lost nearly half their slaves
during the Revolution. Their agricultural wealth
was then mainly confined to the seaboaid swamps,
that could not bo cultivated without slave labor.
Carolina had passed temporary prohibitory law’s,
and her delegates thought she might continue to do
so. Carolina, in fact, aid so the next year, and
continued to renew her prohibitory laws until the
year 1803. She then repealed the laws, but only
because, without a navy, her law's could not be
executed. Her delegation in Congress were unani
mous tor the aboliiion in 1808— so scon as the Con
stitution allowed.
But under the circumstances, neither Carolina
nor Georgia, wee wiling for immediate abolition.
A compromise was proposed, and the Constitu
tion, as it is , was proposed by a delegate from South
Carolina, and voted for unanimously ! So much
for the Constitution. What of the law, so degrad
irg to lie Stu h, passed near twenty years after
wards'{ That passed the House one hundred and
th rleen to five! The reporter says the vole for
aboltion might be called unanimous , as these five
di sentients were both from the free and slave
Sta’es, and differed or ly on details. The nays
were two from Virginia, one from Vermont, one
fom Carolina, and one from New Hampshire.
The law making slave traue piracy , so Late as
1821), was introduced by a Southern man t and
passed unanimously. Georgia, in 1798, prohibit
ed the trade by a c’au3e in her Constitution, and
so late as 1818, passed laws, “ for the encourage
ment of those who shall use their efforts to sup
press the traffic, fcc.”
With such a bietory of the law, which there has
never been any effort to repeal, one would suppose
tbat “ promiueut citizens” must have but little
else to do, when they get up an excitement”
about it, and make it the pretext for a Southern
mob.
1 have said tbat the South was never so pros
perous as now, and tbat our prosperity is pro
gre£s ve. We all know this. Our progressive
prosperity is accounted for upon the plainest prin
ciples of pci lical economy. We are employed iu
the production of an expert— exhausting to the
Land. Our capital is slave Übor. The more val
uable the product of tiiat Übor, the larger will be
our gross income iu money. The smaller the
quantity of labor and land required to bring a re
turn of a given amount of money, the. larger will
be the net ptojit.
Let us illustrate by a simple analysis. A planter
who employs twenty hands in the cultivation of two
hundred acres of laud, makes one hundred bales of
cotton, and in exchange for it brings homo from Eng
land and the North five thousand dollars—will be
more prosperous than if he employs forty hands, culti
vates four hundred acres of land—makes two hun
dred bales of cotton, and exchanges it. for the same
amount of money. And why in this ! Simply be
cause at the higher pirce, he feeds one-half the hands
—exhausts one half the land, and brings home the
same amount of money.
How does history correspond with this theory ?
The slave trade, Enough illegal after 1808, did not
cease practically, till after IBio. The la9t to give it
up, was a nes. or pirates in Amelia Island. “The
first families of Carolina and Georgia,” and the
“prominent citizens” of Alabama, had not then en
g.'iged iu it. But by the Yankees and the pirates
it was continued to some extent till 1823. This pro
duced a glut of slave labor in proportion to the de
mand. And eo late as 1830, good field bands could
be bought lor three hundred to /our hundred dollars,
or hire for fifty or sixty dollais per year. Then ,
we heard of nothing but the progrogs and prosperity
of the North—tho poverty and degradation of the
South. All interests here were depressed—all
classes dissatisfied. Factory girls were building
brick bouses at the North—our exhausted lands and
decaying seitlements wore abandoned at the South
—our credit was low, and exchanges constantly
againet us. The contrast was constantly eeized
upon, as an argument against our institutions, and
with powerful and threatening effect. We had
Abolition conventions in t he slave States themselves,
and if slavery were not abolished iu some of them,
iL was only prevented by the practical difficulties
surrounding the subject, and the praguifitical inter
meddling of the North. How is it now ? The pic
ture has changed, the prosperity of the South is
everywhere the subject of remaik. Our planters
are measurabiy out ol debt—capital is rapidly ac
cumulating— emigration is checked—all classes
employed, and the annual commercial exchanges
almost constantly in our favor.
The favorable change is easily explained. Our
capital has increased in value, and yields a net profit.
We no longer exhaust our lands , and work for
nothing ; leaving to the manufacturer and consu
mer high profit upon the cheap product of our unre
quited labor. It is a peculiarity, too, of our capital,
tbat its increase in value gives no oppressive power
over white free labor. Just the contrary. B’oreed
importations from abroad being checked, the two
kinds of labor have become naturally and legiti
mately adjusted. The elevation of slave labor
elevates free labor at the same time, by gelling it
out of its way. Now , slave labor is absorbed most
ly iu theh3 employments in which free labor does
not care to engage. In truth, both Bpecies of labor
are so much elevated that they ao not materially
interfere with each other, and we see master and
servant, white and black, working contentedly and
profitably together, giving us that healthy admixture
of a free white population, so necessary to our
prosperity, and the security of our institutions. The
popular objection to slavery, that it “ degrades la
borha3 measurably lo3t its force. By degrading
labor, is only meant the reduction of ite price.
White men cannot live in this country for fifty or
sixty dollars per year. They will not work for it.
If reduced to it by the forced importation of cheap
labor , they become idlers and paupers, or migrate
to tne free States, or the new lands of the West—
White labor is now freely employed in almost every
department of industry and enterprise at the South.
Our railroads employ great numbers of white la
borers—some employ ecarcely aDy other. Degrade
labor by forced importations, and. every man in the
departments of common labor would be discharged.
The c;ap trap of enabling all white men to live
without labor, by giving each “one or two negroes,”
is unworthy of notice. How would the poor buy
them at any price ? Thrown out of employment
themselves, instead of buying negroes, they would
be scuffling for bread. This is a mere “tub to the
whale.” Like the ancient eoothsayers—these who
employ such nonsense would be unable to look
each other in the face without laughing. It is, per
hape, the first time since the flood, that an appeal
has been made to the laboring classes on a platform
of cheap labor.
The weaker classes would suffer most.
Exporta, for the most obvious reasons, cau be
inaae cheapest by large combioatioos of slave la
bor. A large planter can make cotton at five cents,
whilst a small one will not make expenses. Look
at middle Georgia—once pronounced by Mr. Ells
worth to be emphatically the cotton region of the
Union. It cnce teemed with a white population—
largely made up of planters of the middle classes,
and laboring white men. Where are they now ?
See the aoandoned settlements the deserted
school houses and country churches, mouldering in
to ruins many of the finest counties probabiy do
not vote one-third the number they did in former
times. The email planter could not pay expenses
any longer than his land continued fresh. He made
no nett profit to enable him to manure and preserve
the land. He was therefore foiced to sdi out tc the
larger planter, and emigrate to fresh land, and the
country is now mostly in the hands of large plant
ers.
Note, with one-balf the labor—one-half the land
—one half the provisions— he earns the same amount
oj money, and makes some nett profit, with which to
employ mechanical white labor, preserve his lands
and live and die upon the homestead of his fathers.
Bat I am saying more than I intended. My
principal object was to rebuke that reckless and
lawless spirit which is bringing disgrace upon the
South—weakening its moral influence in the Union
and which, if allowed to triumph over law and or
der, will soon set the sun of the South in and less
night. What is a nation more than au
without character 7 What Republic ever lasted
long without law ? Law can only be maintained
by public opinion. In free governments there is
no other authority to enforce it. If the laws pass
fed by ourselves be wrong, let them be repealed.
Let not the ilireet fabric of civil government ever
framed by man be disgraced by riots, and its ju
diciary pulled down by disorganizing mobs, tor
the South to encourage, or even tolerate these
things, would seem like a species of insanity.
1 think I have shown at once the causes of the
former depression—and the present prosperity of
the South. The depression was owing to a glut of
blave labor by forced importation, exhausting our
land without profit, and depriving white laborers
of employment. Our present prosperity is owing
to the removal of these causes, by the abolition of
the slave trade, and a more equal adjustment u
■ supply and demand, by which both free and slave
1 laborers are profitably employed.
I have stated that the institution was lately in
1 danger tVom the action ot the people cl the slave
J States them.-elve, that it is now safe, aud strength
i euing every day, and this, also. I have attributed
j mainly, if not entire’y, to tre abolition of the Have
trade. If I should have leisure, I may endeavor to
prove this iu a future number. Madison.

The rascally acts of the celebrated Dr. John
Washington Williams, who was recently nabbed iu
this city and confined in prison, are thrown entirely
in the shade by the doings of a fellow calling him
self E. C. Scott, who has been figuring here exten
sively for the past few weeks.
Scott made his advent into Memphis in the guise
of an “unfortunate Methodist preacher,” who was
on his way to the death bed of an only daughter, in
MLsieaippi, but who had b3en robbed of all his
money on board the boat on which he had come up
the river. He applied to a brother minister ot this
city for means sufficient to enable him to reach the
bedside of his much-loved child, and his tale of
sorrow and misfortune so wrought upon the kind
minister’s feelings as to induce him to supply his
pressing need, it was soon suspected that the un
fortunate brother was none other than a swindler,
but he succeeded in eluding the investigations set
on foot at that juncture for his detection, and the
circumstances passed out of the minds of those in
terested.
It seems that after didling the minister he took
up his quarters at a boarding-house on Monroe
atreet, kept by a widow lady, where he entered
actively into two speculations, both of which he
carried on at the samn time. The first was of a
matrimonial nature and resulted successfully, his
victim beiug the daughter of the landlady. While
engaged in the suit at the court of Hymen, he was
prosecuting vigorously other speculations, the mo3t
prominent one being the purchase of a plantation
from a leading and highly respectable citizen of
this city, for which he agreed to pay $29,000 iu
cash. Previous to his marriage with his landlady’s
daughter, he proposed to take his intended out to
the place for which he was negotiating, avering that
he would not purchase the plantation unless it suit
ed her. They accordingly proceeded together to
the place, a short distance on one of our railroads,
and the lady, after inspecting the premises, express
ed herself satisfied with the proposed purchase, and
our hero, accordingly, on nis return to the ci'y in
formed the proprietor that he might consider the
bargain clcsea, stating at the time that the cash
should be forthcoming in a very short time. The
next event in tho history of our hero’s operations
was bis marriage, which was celebrated in due
form, and amid considerable rejoicing.
Not satisfied with his speculations in real estate
and matrimouy, he must needs launch forth into
other matters. He accordingly approached Capt.
Shirley, the owner of the steamboat J. G. Cline,
and proposed to purchase his boat, offering to pay
land and negroes, stating that he wae a planter re
siding in the bottom and had been overflowed tor
two successive years ; that he was disheartened by
these successive losses of crops, and had determin
ed to return to the calling ot his youthful days—
that of Bteamboating. A bargain was struck and
the Cline was to !je delivered over to our hero upon
his transferring to her owner certain negroes of
which he professed to be seized and possessed. It
is needless to i ay that, the negroes for the boat, and
the $20,000 for the plantation bargained for, were
not forthcoming, although the pretended purchaser
made extensive preparations to take possession of
both. On Tuesday evening the purchaser of $20,-
000 plantations aud $12,000 steamboats, left for
parts unknown, abandoning all bis splendid schemes
and even the partner of his bosom, to whom he
had been eo lately united.
Previous to his departure, he borrowed S6O from
his mother-in-law, who could illy afford to leso It,
aud SSO from a young man whom he had engaged
as clerk of his steamer.
Scott is described ae a tall, lean, lank, lantern
jawed, hatchet-faced individual, of most unprepos
sessing appearance, but with a smooth tongue and
a plausible manner. Let the press pass him around.
Don’t Appreciate Opera.—The editor of the
Gospel Banner, a religious paper published iu
Maine, visited the city of Boston during anniver
sary week, aud went to the opera, “ not as a min
ister, but as an editor,” and for the express pur
pose of seeing the “infatuation of opera goers.”
He thus gives his idea of the Italian opera:
“The spectacle that saluted tbe eye before the
rising of the curtain was a magnificent oue. The
whole floor was occupied by finely-dressed ladies
and gentlemen, as were the three galleries rising
one above the other into the lofty dome, which
was brilliantly lighted. And the music of the or
chestra,and now and then a strain of the singing,were
fine, but the performance, as a whole, we thought
a bore. Whiskered men and painted women
tricked out in plush and tinsel, growling and
grunting, and shrieking, and squalling, sometimes
in solo and then in duett, and anon the whole
swarm like so many cats, gesticulating, and men
acing, and embracing, and frowning, and going
through with all sorts of antics, in a gibberish
that nobody can understand —that is the Italian
opera as we heard and saw it. Had it not been
for a few strains—of which Casta Diva as *ung
by Madame Laborde is never to be forgotten,
aud Carl Formes’ bass singing—it would have
been insufferable. And yet, when some performer
went through with his or her throat-splitting vo
cal gymnastics, it was carious to see the au
dience—such being the fashion just now—go into
fits of enthusiasm. To us—and we profess not
only to have an ear but two ears for inusio—a
quiet seat on a mossy rock, near some pond full
of frogs, would have been quite as edifying, aud
nearly as musical.”
It would be interesting to know whether in the
discussion of religious topics the elegant critic of
the Gospel Banner displays such sparkling qu&li
ties aa are shown in the above dew-drop.
Hearing Through the Throat.—“ Notes and
Queries ” relates that a friend, who is eo utterly
aeaf as to be almost beyond relief Irom any of the
mechanical inventions now in use for the aid of per
sons afflicted with deafness, walked into a chapel
and took his seat on one of the open benches. He
heard nothing of the sermon then and there deliver
ed until, from mere listlessness, he placed the rim of
the crown of hie hat in his mouth ; he heard distinct
ly. He has frequently repeated the experiment in
the presence of the writer with the same result; and
where the opportunity is afforded him, he places his
hat between bislips, and carries on a conversation,
ppe&kiDg in the usual way and hearing as described.
The experiment has been made with many deaf
persons, and generally with succ6ge. The “query”
is: Is it the open mouth, or baa the vibration of
sound on the hat anything to do with the effect pro
duced ? Look on a crowd of listeners, eager to
catch the voice of the speaker—they sit with open
mouth; “With locks thrown back and lips apart' 1
“in listening mood,’ - Jr. 3.,it the poet’s description of
the “Lady of the Lake.’’ It ie almost impossible
to make use of the hat as an auricle, but it may be
that if science would apply its efforts to hearing
through the throat, following nature as a guide,
more would be done for the sorest evil that can
afflict humanity than has yet been affected. “ The
obstructed path of sound” may perhaps be uniform
ly reached in this way.
Col. , of New York city, is cue cf the (leaf
eat men we ever few, excepting, of c urae, the
deaf and dumb. But he is pa-.sionately fond of
music, and, strange as it may appear to the reader,
there is nothing that he more enjoys than a concert.
We have seen him listening enraptured not only
over performances upon the piano, but quartettes
and quintettes, and other concerted music, in
which stringed aod wind instruments have parts.
The process by which he does this is exceedingly
simple. The Colonel stands by the piano during
the performance, holding between bis teeth one end
of a pine stick, Hhe other which res jj upon the
sounding board of the instrument; and is thus en
abled to eDjoy the music as keenly as any of the
rest of the party. And woat may be considered
the moat remarkable feature of the exhibition, it is
a fact that by this process the deaf man can hear
the performance, even when there is no part for
the piano, and only the stringed instruments are
played upon. There is evidently an accord between
the piano aud ihe other instruments, while the lat
ter are sounding, and the harmouy is onveyed to
the eense of hearing by the simple medium we have
described. — N. O. Piraynne.
The Tyrolese soldiers it is said, ehoot from the
rest, and each man carries a prop for the purpose
of supporting his gun, while he takes as deflberate
aim at the enemy, as he would at a chamois on his
native mountains. We suppose the enemy stands
perfectly still, while these nice preparations are be
ing made for his destruction.

From the Mem j his Appeal.
A Tulo ol Horror.
About thirty }ta*s ago, Mr. Joseph St. Clair built
a cabin in Arkansas, far up toward the head wa
tersot White Rivfr. It wa.- ’.hen all a wilderness
country for many uiilts aroui and and game w as very
abundant Thee was uoUckot bears,catamounts,
wolves and pant t is. L: fac r , countiy was
at Uu.t dale, a p l*'ect parauue for the pi act iced
hunter.
Mr. St. Clair bad no family olber than a youug
wi r e aud one iufaut. He was fond of hunting, but
be cultivahd a few ace- in corn aud vegetables
At first it was fully feu mites to h s neatest neigh
burs, but during the ensuing spring a man named
Williams made a settlement, within hair u mile ut
St. Clair's, and the iwo families became neighbors
aud quite intimate.
Mr. Williams was a man in humble circumstances
and had a large family, mostly ot grown daughters,
and uo small children. One day in the mouth of
July, 1822, {.he fiist summer that Mr. St. Clair
livtd there,) his wile was ut home with the child,
and Mr. St. C.air was off’ with his gun About 10
o’clock iu the morui. g she left her babe asleep in
the cradle, and went to the field to gather beaus for
dinner. Ou her return the child was gone. Shs,
however, felt no alarm, because she supposed that
tier husband had come home curing her absence,
and had hidden somewhere about the house with
the child, merely for a little fan. So she busied
herself iu preparing diuner. Iu an hour or two her
husband returned from the woods, bearing the gun
and a youug deer that f*e had killed, and on inquiry
declared ffiat he knew nothiogof the child
They now supposed that 0110 of Mr. Williams’
daughters had come iu while Mrs. St. Clair was out,
and finding the baby ot which she was very fond,
she carried it home. This theory was to them quite
satistactory, for there was no other neighbors, and
the child could not go away, unless carried. How
else could it have happened.
Dinner being over, Mr. St. Clair walked over to
hie neighbor’s, to bring back his treasure of a baby
that Miss Lucy had borrowed that morning. Miss
Lucy 6aid that she had not borrowed the baby—
she had not seen it that day. Mr. St. Clair was
hard to be convinced that no one of the family had
takeu the child, but aii assured him that they knew
nothing of it.
It was now time to be alarmed. ‘ Wbat has be
come of the poor child 7” was his exclamation, and
he ran back home in great agony. The mother in
like manner 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 corsolalion. They could invent
no theory, no.* devise auy plan by which t’ e child
had, with any degree of probability, disappeared.
Who was there to take it away ? W'hy would
any one wish to have it ? They were utterly at a
lose.
Finally it was remembered that occasionally
there were parties of Cherokees hunting through
that country. It was now surmised that they had
happened to come to the house while Mrs. St. C.
was m the field, and had stolen the child and car
ried it away T&is was at onoe received as plausi
ble and quite probable.
Eaily next morning Mr. St. Clair and Mr. Wil
liams set out to seek for the Indian camp, ami Mrs.
St. C. was left alone at home. She wes sitting iu
silence, weeping tears of bitter anguish, such as
none but mothers ever shed, and wondering in her
heart what had become of her darling babe. It
was now about the Lour of the day on which she,
the day previous, had gone out. Ere she was
aware, a large panther, with a stealthy tread,came
lo tt e door and looked in toward the cradle. Mrs
St. Clair aoreaued uud he rau away. The feartul
truth was now apparent, and no new 7 light has ever
beeu cast upon the subject.
Utah.
Tho following is an extract from a letter of a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer } dated Salt
Lake city, Utah May 20th, 1559:
It is estimated that five thousand souls design re
turning East this summer; twice this number wish
to do so, but their indebtedness to “the Church”
prevents them. It is truly astonishing how com
pletely has this scheme of swindle beeu practiced.
Thousands ot poor unsuspecting people in the States,
and from all paita ot Europe, have been visited by
Mormon Missionaries, and preached into the “faith”*
and induced to emigrate to this distant valley called
“Zion,” under promises that good lauds, free to all,
awaited their arrival; heuoe, they at onoe accepted
the proffer of the Church Emigration Society, and
are brought here at Church expense, (amounting to
about one hundred and twenty dollars per head,)
for those from the States, and about two hundred
and sixty dollars pet head for those trom England,
Scotland, and Wales. By this process the man
with a wife aud three children finds himself landed
in Utah without clothe or money, or provisions—
and with a debt hanging over him of five or six
hundred dollars to the Church. He draws ou the
Church fund and tithing granaries for hiß daily bread
the first year, and in time finds himself so invalued
that he and family become peons— (slaves)—for an
indefinite period ; mai- y, however, by extraordinary
exertions free t hemselves from this debt, and collect
together a couple of >oke of oxen aud a small wag
on, with a supply of provisions, and make a start
back for the East.
They are permitted in many cases to go back,
and in a day or two are followed by the “lJanites,’’
by order of the church—(generally issued through
the “Bishop of the stake,”) or what we can best
understand by “Local Preachers,” aud their oxen
aud wagon are tukeu from them on the highway,
aud turned over to the church. This system of
preventing apostates from leaving this valley has
beau carried on to au extreme of persecution for
years past that baffles one’s ideas of humanity, aud
was yet followed by absolute murder , when the
deprivation of the outfit proved insufiiicent to stop
the returning apostate —the Parish murder is a
case in question, aud serves to illustrate many
others of like nature. The dreadful “Mountaiu
Meadows Massacre” is one of the same kind, for,
although not apostates . trying to leave , they
were emigrants passing through, and were ap
pealed to by ull of the Bishops, (including Brig
ham Young himself,) to stop and fettle iu the vfff
ley ot Utah ; this they peremptorily refused to do,
and moved on, aud one Elder taunted them with
the remark, “Well, if you will persist in going
further aud doing worse you can go on ; but mark
my words,” ssid he, “you wiil never reach Cali
fornia.” Results show how true were Brigham’s
remarks. The sixteen orphan children are all that
are left of that company. They are just now
arrived in this city of “Sodom aud Gomorah,”
without clothes ; friendless, covered with dirt aud
festering sorts from neglect, being altogether the
most pitiable objects I have ever beheld ; three of
them (one a boy 10 years old, and two girls 9 and
8 years respectively) recollect all about the affair ;
the little boy says he pulled the arrows out of hiß
mother, and awhile man came lip and told the
Indian to kill her, which be did. A Bishop living
near Mountain Meadows, is believed to he the one
who commanded.
Another Deed of Crime in New York—Mys
terious Death ok an Actress.— On Sunday even
ing tbe body of a female was found in the water
near Fort Hamilton, N. Y. The body has since
been identified as that of Mrs. Fanny Deane Halsey,
better known to tbe public under the professional
name ol Fanny Deane, an actress of some note,
who played about two yeais eince at Wallack’s
Theatre. The Tribune ?ays :
Tho deceased was 18 years of age, the mother of
two children, and a woman of full, robust habit.
Her husband is 35 years of age, an Englishman by
birth, and baa filled the position of actor in subordi
nate parts. It is said that on Wednesday last be
discovered his wife in the act of writing a letter of
assignation to a well known contractor of Brooklyn,
with whom she is reported to have been on terms
of riminal intimacy. An explosion followed, and
Mrs. Halsey made a clean breast of the whole affair,
handing over the letters which ehe received from
her paramour. They were addressed to “ Mrs.
Fanny Howard,” and consisted of appointments to
meet at Thompson’s Saloon and other places. Oue
letter states that the writer wae about to leave
town, and that he was head over ears in business,
and very fearful that their intimacy would result
disastrously to both of them. Mrs Halsey is said
to have been a rather expensive mistress, exacting
sums of $75 or SIOO at a time from hejr alleged
lover. Mr. Haleey handed the deputy superinten
dent of police a letter purporting to have been
written by his wile to her lover, which he (her
husband) wao to forward, iu which she says that
her husband had discovered their intimacy, and she
bnd told him everything, and promised him not to
write or speak to her lover again.
Miß. Halsey's mother says that when her son-in
law went out on Wedureday, after discovering his
wife's guilt, and becoming reconciled to her. he
said that he would give her a great surprise before
night. but he did not return until 11 i o’clook P.
M Meantime his wife, who had gone out to buy
shoes, did not come home. He said, when asked,
that he knew nothing about her. The next day he
gave out that he was going to Philadelphia iu
search of his wife, she having got into some scrane
there some time ago, and ne suuposed she might
have gone there again. Instead of going in that
direction he went to Albany, and telegraphed to a
friend in this city that he had no tidings of her.—
He is now in custody of the New York police.—
He thinks that she committed suicide in conse
quence of the revelations which were made con
cerning her acquaintance with a gentleman in
Brooklyn, (who nad also been arrested;) but the
mother and sisters of deceased are ol the opinion
that she has been foully dealt with. The mother
of tbe deceased is the daughter of a clergyman of
the Church of England. Bhe is of Irish birth, and
has been a widow for the last ten years. Mr. Hal
sey says he is desirous to dispel any unjust suspicion
that might be excited against him. Two years ago
last February he first saw Miss Deane at Wallack’s
theatre, playing in Brougham’s “Game of Life."—
Her personal beaty, excessive sprightlinesa, and
marked indication cl genius, won Lh admiration.—
He sought an introduction, and iu about six weeks
married her. They lived happily together, and up
to the time that they parted on Wednesday morn
ing last an unkind word never passed between them.
He idolized her, and it was at his solicitation that she
left the stage.
The First Steamer that Crossed the At
lantic.—We published a paragraph yesterday,
mentioning the arrival at New York, Boston aud
Quebec, during the month of May, of twenty two
steamers from Europe, and stated that it wis only
twenty one years ago since the Sirius, the first
steamer to cross the Atlantic, arrived at New Yoik.
A subscriber desires to know whether the steamer
Savannah did not cross the ocean several years be
fore the Sirius. There is no doubt that she did and
we made the mention of the Sirius because that
vessel was the first steamer to arrive in this country
from Europe, add is generally considered the pio
neer (f ocean steam navigation. Tne Sirius ar
rived at New York on the 22d of April, 1838, from
Cork, Ireland. The Savauuah, commanded by
Capt. Hosts Taylor, sailed from Savannah on the
2.oth of May, 181 It, nineteen years before the Sirius
made her passage, and arrived at Liverpool in 22
days. This steamer was built at New York in 1818,
but was owned by parties in Savannah, and was a
paddle wheel steamer, of 260 tons and 90 horse
power. She was a lull rigged ship, and fast sailer,
on her voyage to Liverpool she had steam up four
teen days, and by steam alone could make eight
knots an t hour. —New Orleans Bulletin, June 11 th.
ThkCityof Milan.—This city, which is said to
Lave been evacuated by the Austrians, and which
the King of Sardinia was to have entered on the
7th inst, was strongly fortified and had usually a
gairison of 8,000 men. It was the capital of a re
public in the eleventh century, and passed succes
sively under the dominion ot Spain and Austria,
and the French, who made it the capital of the
kingdom of Italy in 1806. It wae restored to Aus
tria in 1816. It is inland, and only two hours and
a half by railroad from Venice. It has been be
sieged and captured forfy times, and tour times
destroyed. Yet now it is a magnificent city, with
a population of about 176,000 souls. It is in the
midst of a wide and fertile plain, many miles from
the Po, on the Austrian side. It lies between the
Olona and Seveso rivers, and is the capital of the
Austrian provinces in Italy.

Hat Prksentation at the Corn Exchange.—
It is the fashion to present things nowadays.
Yesterday morning, at iheCorn Exchange, a iittla
affair came oil which does great honor to all con
cerned.
For the last nine years Major ’a friends bava
noticed, with Released regret, the seedy conditio t
of his hat. In July, 1857, a determined effo t war
made to obtain, by subscription, anew one for
him , but before the matter was ai ranged the oti9ii
came, money was money and nothing else was, eo
the Major oontiuuod to sport his dilapidated oastoi.
Iu April of tLe present year the subject was again
brought up, and at an informal meeting of our prin
cipal grain dealers it was
Resolved, 1 That the Major needed anew hat.
2 That ot his own free wid he would never buy
one i aud,
3. That it wrp s he duty of hisfnends to procure
a good one lor Uni.
Subsequent resolutions provided that nous bufc
the Major’s personal friends should be called on to*
subscribe, and that no subscription exceeding 2>
cents in amount should be reoeived from any on *
persou or firm.
Yesterday the required amount was oolleoted,,
the bat purchased, tbe Major caught, and forced,
while his accustomed covering was gently removed,
to listen to the following speech from the eloquent.
lips of Mr. W : “ Major here’s tbat hat. It’a
good as wheat, plant it on your head, and you’ll
bear inspection.” The Major, overcome by emu
tion, responded in a husky voice; “Gentlemen,
your ingrained kindiies* oppresses me. lour gift i*

las might be nominated for tbe Presidency by every
Democratic Convention that might assemble from
the present date till the year 1900, and still he (Mr.
C.) would never support him.”
This brought out Hon. James C. Jones, in a let
ter dated the next day, iu which he repudiated tha
charge ot heading a clique, and denied that he be
longed to any party, bui said in reference to Doug
las : “I speak for myself—l am for Htepheu A.
Douglas for President of tbe United States iu
1860. * * * I think it impossible to elect any
man residing in the South, and I believe that he to
the only man North of Mason and Dixon’s line*
that can be elected, that would be true to tho
South.”
Jones, it is understood, will vote a “split ticket ‘
in the coming electron—supporting Netherland for
Governor and Avery for Congress The Opposi
tion candidate for Congross in the Memphis District
is Hon. J. L. Bneed, whose election iu regarded &a
almost sure. — Columbus Enquirer.
Generous and Golden California —Tb<*
Philadelphia Press says: We saw on Tuesday a.
nice little block of compaot virgin gold, add ret set
to Ann Pamela Cunningham, amounting in value*
to $3 330, the resulr. of only one month’s Californiau
contributions to the Mount Vernon Fund. Thin
pretty nugget was reoeived through the enterpris
ing house of Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Cos., from
Mrs. Magdalen Gordon Bianding, the accomplished,
vice regent of the Mount Verncn Association for
that prosperous State. We are highly gratified
that our eyes have been so delighted at the sight of
such a substantial proof of the noble generosity
and spirit evinced by our California sisters, in be
hall of that national enterprise—the purchase of
Washington’s Home. Such results must be truly*
encouraging to tne regent, who has been thus far
so wonderfully successful in the appointment or
such a band of noble aud accomplished women t
represent, for this sacred purpose, each Htate of
our favored Union. This national nugget wm
transferred to the Mint, for coinage, and will speeds
!y re appear, no doubt, in the current form ot gold

Seizure of an American Vessel hy the Chil
ian Government.—Another difficulty has taken
place bytwean the master of au Amerloau vessel
and the Government of Chili. The brig Townsend
Jones arrived at Valparaiso eight or ten months
dinoe with a large cargo of inuekets, sabres and
other war materiel. The master being unable fi*
dispose of his cargo, under instructions from bw
owners, prepared to sail for California, but theau
tborities refused to grant her a clearance, (per hap a
suspecting, and it may be rightly, that he intended
to dispose of his cargo to the Revolutionists at Cal
dea or Coquimbo.) They brought the brig cloe*
into the mole, opened the hatches, took out thw
powder and sent it to the public magazine, and then
took out all the balance of the cargo. The master
entered protests before the U. 8. Consul againsu
these illegal acts, but the authorities took no notice
of his complaints. Finding that the cargo agreed fit
every particuiai with the manifest, the Governmen ;
offered to return it to the captain, bat by the ad
vice of Consul Ryckmann, he refused to receive ii,
and upon force being used against him, he haul* if
down his flag and abandoned the vessel to the au
thorities
The Dubuque Times telis the following horilbla
story : —‘Mr Jones left Cherry Creek on his return
journey about four weeks since. He was not abfo
to realize a farthing for all h : expenditure of tim*
and money and bis long-coniinued expeaure and
fatigue. Many of the emigrants had previous t>
his departure, suffered extremely, aud there wer*
increasing no unitestation among them. About fivt
hundred of the moat reckless organized tbemselveu
into a company of ‘LyDebtors,’ and there w&e
sworn purpose among them to visit summary ven
geance upon all persons who had been instrumental
in circulating false reports cf the existence of gold,
at Cherry Creek Mason Clark, formerly of 8U
Charles, Flovd County, lowa, was suspected and.
convicted of having been one of the fraudulent,
letter writers, and he was put to death in a moar.
horrible manner. Four mules were hitched to the
extremities of his limb?, made to draw in different;
directions, and be was literally torn ia pieces ! Ezra
Alien, formerly of Chickasaw County, and two other
persons, whose names our infornpant could not re
member, were shot for the same offence. Great
indignation exist against the inhabitants of Omaha
City and Council Bluffs, and the returning gold’
hunters threaten vengeance upon those towns.”
The Capitol Dome—Some oue hundred and
fifty tons of iron-work or the Interior of the dom*-
