Wa^Jlofcment*—The Passage of Ibe Ticino
nad tbe UatHsof .llttjfenta.
Tne Moniteur f June 10 publishes the following
account of tne battle of Magenta :
Ueal>kUartars, Ban Martino, June 5.
Tbe French army assembled round
hod great d.ffi jultiei to overcome. If it marened
on pJaceLXa, it would have had to besiege that
furtreoc, and foice a passage of tne Po, there 900
metres iu w idth ana that difficult operation would
have had to be effected mpreeence of a hostile
army of 200,000 men.
L Lac E-hperur crossed Lae .iver a: Valenza he
would have lound the enemy concentrated on tee
!e t hank at Mori are. and Le could have only at
tacked him by separate o. lumas maua-uvring in the
midst of a country initiate; ed by cana.e and rice
nel'is. On both sides, therefore, there wso an al
uicst insurmountable ; the Emperor
reso.ved to obviate it, ani he tioceived tne Aus
trians by concentrating buj forces ou the right, by
cccupytng (jObkcggio and even on the
Treohia
On the 3Lt of May the army received the order
to moxoti to the left, and crossed t.; Po at Casale,
the bridge o. which had reu>a>n*-C incur
it at once took the road to Verceiii, where the pas
sage of the bco a was carried out to protect and
Cover our rapid march ou Novara.
The efforts of the army were directed on the right,
or Robbie, aud two combats, glorious for the har
uimon troops, fought on that side made the enemy
believe we were maxching on Montara. Meantime,
tne French army was advancing on Novara, and it
took position ou the very same ground where ten
yearc previously King Charles A o*rt gave battle.
Here ii was able to meet the entmy if necessary
Tnue, this bold inarch bad been protected by
100,000 meu encamped ou cur right flank at Olengo
in tr *nt m Novara. Under these circum* auces it
was then to the leserve that the Emperor had to
intrust the execution of the movement taking place
behind tbe line of battle.
On the 2d ot June a division of the Imperial
Guard was advanced toward Turbigo, on tbe Tici
no, and not finding any resistance it threw three
bridges across. Ihe Emperor having received
confirmatory Intelligence that the enemy had with
drawn to the let: bank of the river, ordered the
Tidno to be crossed at this point by the corps
and armee of Gen. McMahon, followed on the mor
row ny a division of the H&rdinian army.
Our troops had scarcely taken position on the
Lombard bank when they were attacked by an
Audtiir.n c orps from Milan, biought up by the rail
way. They drove it back victoriously in the pre
tence of the Emperor.
On the same day (June 2) Espinaspe s division
having advanced on the r.*ad from Novara to Milan
as far as Trecate, from which place it threatened
the bridge at Buffalora, the enemy hastily evacua
ted tbe iutreDetunenti it had thrown up at thia
point, and retired to the left bank, attempting to
olow up the stone bridge across the river. The
attempt was not successful. the two arches at
ten pted were not sufficiently destroyed to prevent
the pa* rtage.
Tne 4ih o Jane had been fixed by the Emperor
for the definitive occupation of the left bank of the
Ticino. Gen. M’Mahon's curpe d’armee, strengthen
ed by the division of tho Voltigeura of the Imperial
Guard, and followed by the whole army of the
King of Sardinia, was to advance from Turbigo on
Buffatora and Aiagenta, while the divisions of the
Grenadiers of tLe Imperial Guard wap to carry the
tete de pout of Buffal. ra ou the left bank, and
Marshal Uanrobert a corps and armce was to ad
vance along the l ight bank to nross at the same
point.
The execution of thin plan was frustrated by one
of those incidents which must always be expected
in warfare. The army of the King was delayed in
crossing the river, and only one of his division was
able to follow the corps of Gen. McMahon at a
distance.
The advance of Espinasee's division wan also de
lojed, aLd on the other baud, when Marshal Can
robert’a corps left Novara to join the Emperor,
who bail proceeded in person to the bridge at But
falora, it found the road ho encumbered that itouly
arrived very late cn the banks ot the Ticino
8o matters stood, and the Emperor awaited, not
without anxiety, tbe signal of tbe arrival of Gen.
McMahon's corps at Buffaiora, when about 2
o’clock he heard a heavy fueil&de and cannonade
in that quarter. The general was coming up.
This was the moment to support him by advanc
ing ou Magenta. The Emperor at once threw
W impffen’B brigade against the formidable posi
tions occupied by the Austrians in the front ot the
bridge; Le Clerc's brigade followed up the move
ment. The heights which border the canal and
village of Buffaiora were eoon carried by the impe
tuosity of our troops, but they found themselves
opposed to the formidable bodies, whom they could
not drive back, aud who stopped \beir advance.
Marshal Canrobert’s column had not yet come
up, and,on the other hand, the oaunonade aud
fusiiade which had aunouuced tho arrival of Gen.
McMahon had completely ceased. Had the gene
ral’s column been repulsed, and would the division
of the grenadiers of the Guard have to sustain alone
the whole strength of the enemy I
This is the proper place to explain the manu*uvre
of the Australdh.
Wheu they iearued on tbe night of the 2d of June
that the French army had made itself master of the
passage of the Ticino at Turbigo, they rapidly re
oro-rttd iLe river at Vigevano vith three of their
corps d'armee,vi bo burned tho bridges behind them.
Oc Ibe morning of the 4:h they were opposite the
Emperor 123,000 btrung, and it was against such a
dieproportionate force tha. the c vision of the Gre
uaa.c.s us the Gua.d, wuh whom wad the Emperor,
bad to compete.
At tl ia critical moinont Gen. Regn&ud Saitt Jean
o’Angeiy cispla>eo immense energy, as md also the
under liio orders. General of Division
Meliinet had iwo hors os t hot under him, Gen. Le
Clero fell mortally wounded, Gen. Wimpffeu was
wounded in the head, Commandants Detune and
Meudbuy, ot the Greaouiers of tbe Guard, were
killed the Zouaves Kst 200 men, and the Grena
diers suffered a lota not less considerable.
Fmahy, alter a ioug expeotokou of lout hours,
during wiiick Meliinet's div.eiun sustained without
fiiLootug ihea'.ittCkc of the enemy. Picard's brigade,
led by Marshal Canrober , arrived on the field ot
battle. Shortly niter*ara Yinoy’s division joined,
of Gl Niel s corps, wbicn the Emperor had eem
for, ana finally Rouault a and Trochu’s divisions of
C&moberl s corps.
At the same time Gen. McMahon's cannon be
came ogam audible iu the distance. Tbe geuerai s
corps, retarded iu i:§ advance, and less numerous
thau it should have been, had advanced iu two
ooiumurt ou Magenta and Buffaiora.
The enemy having attempted to cut in between
these two columns, Gen. McMahon ordered his
right coiuidu to laii bac& on his left toward Magen
ta, and this explains tbe cessation in the firing at
the commencement of the action on the Buffaiora
side.
In faot, the Austrians findiug themselves hard
pressed on t’ eir centre and left, bad evacuated the
v:lißge of Buffaiora, aud had brough the greater
portion of their forces to bear against Geu. Mac
Mabou be* re Magenta. The 43:ri of the line bold
ly attacked tne farm ot Cascina Nuova on the out
skirts ot the village, and which was defended by
two Hungarian regiment*. Fifteeu hundred men
of the enemy laid down their arms, and the colors
wars tiiktu away from the colonel s body. How
ever, Motiarouge s division found itself hard press
ed by considerable forces, which threatened to
separate it from Espinaaso's division. Gen. Mao-
Matum had placed in second line the thirteen bat
talions of the Vcltigeurs of tbe Guard under com
mand ot the brave Gen. CtiiujL. who, advancing
to the trout, sustained Lhe shook of the enemy, aud
gave tim U* MoLtercuge’s and E -pmasse s divisions
vigorously to resume the offensive.
At this moment of general attack. General Au
ger, commencing the artillery ot the 2d corps
opeued fire with forty guns on the railway ebau. ee

At Magenta the combat was terrib!. The ene

undated for agricultural turpoeea, so the guns of
our advanced guard could not be placed except on
the main road which by the by ia very narrow, and
by wLich the Austnans were advancing.
“The right wing of the French advanced guard,
thus attacked, wa- f.nned by the mentione':
troops. Five other companies of Zouaves of the
imperial Guard were marching cn the left. This
heroic column, which gallantly disputed the advance
of Lobe; s corpn d'armee for five long hours scarce

the pounding of field guns, tne crash of steel —I nave

deafening. ‘The Austrian* advanced, halted, ad

minute later the heut. ooionei and 12 officers of the

was turrounded by a ci vision of the enemy—there
wa<s no help visible. Bat * l Les Zouaves tont les

force of Creations and Bohemians was brought to
bear hgainst tbe new comers. This last hand to
hand fight ias:ed two bours. Tne disproportion of
numbers was, however, too great—but at last came
the help. About 12 o’clock the reinforcements
appeared on their left—a joyful sight to our strug
gling regiments. The three field guns already
captured by tbe enemy were soon reconquered a’
the point of the bayonet. Zobel’s corps d'armee
was easily routed by the Imperial legions, and
obliged to retire.
The action then became general and lasted three
hours longer, till the bold assault of McMahon decid
ed the victory. The effect of this gallant geoera.'d
move was that of cutting the Austrian army into
two bodies. Threatened on all sides, forced m his
position, menaced with being eurrounded, Gen
Gyulai gave orders to retreat Routed as they
were, they now ran pell-mell, some towards
Gaolo Visaonti, and some towards Roeate, Vemate,
and Pavia. Covering their hasty and disordered
retro at by bodies of horse and ’by a tremendous
fire of artillery, the Austrians fed back upon their
entrenched lines in immense confusion. The battle
of Magenta had been won.
Gen. Gyulai bad brought into action 120,000 men .
he left nearly 20.000 of tnem wounded and dead on
the battie-fieid, 7,000 were taken prisoners. 2 flags,
4,000 knapsacks. 12,000 muskets, and i guns have
fallen into our Lanas. Besides these difficulties Gen.
Gyulai knows that Marshal Baraguay d'Hiliiera
is marching fast toward the Adaa, and that he may
succeed in intercepting the mam roaa, which from
Codugoo leads to Cremona.

Correspondence of the Constiiutionnel.
The following particulars of the battle of Magenta
are extracted from a letter in the Conslitutionnel of
June 10, written trom Novara, on June J, by M. Er
nest Dreolie:
Yesterday, as the first battalions of the voltigeurs
of the Guard, after conquering in a first engagement
at Turbigo, were pursuing their march towards Mi
lan, it appears that 40,000 Austrians, massed in
columns, suddenly countermarched, and, confident
in their numbers, advanced against our leading
columns hoping to turn them, and check tbe con
centration of our army upon Milan. But they bad
not taken into their account the division of the gre
Dadiers and chasseurs of the Guaid commanded by
Gen. Mellinet.
This division rapidly got together between Bull'a
lora and Magenta, not far from the spot where the
Turcos fought, aud they very eoon showed a front
to the enemy. Towards noon, the Aus’rians, after
hesitating for sometime, decided to attack. The
Zouaves and grenadiers united did not make up
more than 10,0(10 men, but without budging a foot
they held their own against tho vainly energetic
efforts of th- 40,000 Austrians. The latter, surprised
at such an obstinate resistance, retired in good or
der, formed again, and returned to the charge a
second lime. They might as well have rushed agamet
a brazen rampart.
The Guard eoon became tired of this passive at
titude, and resolved to take the offensive. It charg
ed and scattered the enemy. But the latter per
ceiving how small were the numbers of the French
came up again and again. Seven times in the course
of two neurs were these heroic charges renewed.—
The grenadiers and the Zouaves were electrified by
the presence of the Emperor, who, sword in hand,
supported and direoted them. The Emperor, how
ever, was frequently seen to turn his eyes towards
the points, where, pursuant to his orders and calcu
tions, he expected to see tbe divisions of Niel and
McMahon make their appearance. They arrived,
aud were saluted with a long bravo, which aston
ished aud disconcerted the enemy. Gen. McMahon
advanced to Magenta with an ardour, a dash, and
an enthusiasm which vias the admiration of the
whole army.
At the moment when his attacking column was
croseiug the bridge, General Eapinasse, who \. as
leading it with his well-known intrepidity, was un
fortunately struck by a ball iu the very centre of
his breast Ue must have died instantly. On see
ing him tall, the soldiers, quite becido themselves,
rushed forward to avenge bis death. Nothing
could Btop them—on, on they went, sweeping away
every obstacle ; and after completely routing the
enemy they effected their junction withthe Impe
rial Guard, which was all the while commanded by
the Emperor in person. The battle was gained.
Marshal Uanrobert and Gen. Regnault de Saint
Jean d’Augely had done wonders on their ride.
We were masters of the field. I hear that the Em
peror warmly congratulated tbe new Duke of
Magenta, to whom he attributed a large share in
the success of the day. The Emperor diu not shrink
from exposing himself during the action, aud more
than once General Fleury threw himselt before
him, braving with a devotion which all admired,
though all were ready to do the same, the bullets
which threatened his Mpjeety.

Telegtam received from Lieutenant General Count
ron Grunne, First Adjutant-General of llis
Majesty and of the Army.
Verona, Junefl, 10. -In t‘ M.—The battle fought

lage of Magenta were sometimes in the enemy’s
hands and sometimes in ours.
In iho morning of the 3th our lettwiug was again
engaged in the neighborhood of Magenta, but de
tailed reports on tbe subject are wauling.
The enemy made no further progress (drang

Miscellaneous Was. Items.—The Way the
Turcos Fight — A letter from Novara. June 5, in
relation to the figfct at Turbigo, save :
I know not whether the Turcos had forgotten
their cartridges, or whether, as on leaving Genoa,
they threw them into the river as a ussitss encum
brance , but they rushed toward the can Don with
out firing a shot. Aa officer who was present at the
affair states that witnessed such an extra
ordinary sight. At the sound of the bugle the Tur
coe spread about ia ail directions, threw themselves
on the ground, and advanced by bounds more like
tigers than men. At every leap they raised a shrill
cry which drowned the sound cf the a tiUery. They
had scarcely ad ranced half way, when the artillery
men, seeing what they imagined to be black mon
eters approaching under a fire of grape, detached
their horses and rode cff. The furcoe, furious at
seeing a part of their prey escape them, redoubled
their araor and fell like lightning on the guns. They
killed the gunners, massacred those within reach
of their bayonets, and returned at double quick
time withthe seven guns wcioh they had taken.
The Emperor was present at this feat of arms,
which forms the pendant to that of Palestro.—
Strange to say they had only ten men killed ana
a lew wounded.
A report was current in Paris that Marshal Can
robert had died of his wounds; but it turns out that
he was not wounded at all.
Gen. Urban’s army, after a precipitate retreat
from Varese, has become dispersed, and his scat
tered soldiers nave been taken prisoners and dis
armed.
Tbe London Poet’s Paris correspondent eaye that
more than 1,000 of the prisoners taken by the Allies
are Italians. They say they took the earliest op
portunity of giving themselves up. They were
always placed in the front, and threateced general
ly by the Croats in the rear if they did not tight
well.’ Many have offered to j jin the Allies, but
have not yet been accepted.
It is understood that such acts as the annexation
of Lombardy are of a provisional cha acter and are
inleuded to be in force o ily during the war.
T e Giand Duke of Tuscany had formally pro
tested against the revolution. He statee that the

proclaim*. :ou:
‘•To my faitLful subjeta of the Tyrol and the

“I call you to arms. I summon you to ehow
anew to your contemporaries and to posterity your

“Take in your practised bands the whole arm ot
your country. Form yourselves into corps ot rifle

Let your fidelity and your resolution serve as a
rampart against the same enemy who has so often
paid with bid blood the invasion of your mountains.
“It is to you that I confide the task of defending
t.e frontiers of my dear country of tbe Tyrol
against the enemy who has made himself the ally
of revolt against the legitimate dominion eetab
lished by God.
“If the enemy should menace them, yen will
make him feel that on these frontiers ri a people
who will know how, like their brethren, to combat
and conquer for God and the country.

The Timeß Paris correspondent is assured that
disapprobation has been expressed by foreign gov
ernments, including Rusria, at the manner in which
matters have been conducted in Tuscany.
The Paris Bourse had been very flat and a daily
decline in prices took place notwithstanding the
successes or the allies in Italy. Lord Derby’s
speech imputing false pretence to France in com
mencing war caused something like a panic. The

India and China.— At Hong Kong April 30,
some feeling was prevalent with respect to the ap
proaching visit of the Eng ish Minister with the ra
tification of the treaty. The fact that a large naval
force would accompany him was regarded as an ad
mission that England entertaiued some doubts of
the fulfilment ot the treaty by the Chinese.
A terrible storm raged along the coast from Cey
lon to Negapalam in tbe latter part of April. A
French vessel passed 60 wrecks ar.d numbers of
dead bodies.
The U. S. frigate Germantown was at Hong Kong
and the steamer Mississippi was at Japan.
West (’oast of Africa.— On the 9th May the
British sloop of war Heron, Commander Truscott,

Reports are current that the whole Prussian army

the Journal, that we are not mistaken instating
that uo resolution of such a nature has yet been
taktu, nor is it immediately imminent.
If Prussia should be caused to take further steps
for the development ot her warlike power, her only
object will be to make the position sne has hitherto

Southern Cultivator for July.
The July number of tnis invaluabte monthly Las
been issued. A perusal of its contents convinces
ue that so large an amount of neefnl information, bo
weii suited to the wants of the Southern people, aud
at so cheap a rate, can nowhere else be found. How
any intelligent farmer or planter at the South can
do without it, we are at a loss to conceive. It
should make its regular monthly visits to their fam
ilies. Those who have had the good taste to sub
scribe for it heretofore, would not now be without
it on any terms , and it is a noticeable fact, that
where it once obtains an entrance into a household,
it becomes a desideratum not to be dispensed with.
We would respectfully aek those who are not as yet
subscribers to the Cultivator, to cast their eyes over
the annexed table ot contents, and see if, amid at
tides on each a variety of subjects, there is not at
least one that may impart knowledge of vital im

which would be more valuable to them than the

“ The Slave Trade—Judge Campbell.”
Read the article under this head, in this day’s
paper. There is a force and point, and power and
directness in its every posi tiou and argumont, which
scatter like tkaff before a strong wiud, the twaddle
of the visionary theorists who have so recently
sprung into existence, and are seeking to engraft
their wild and visionary theories upon the policy of

A Wild Cat Financier.
The Cincinnati police, last week, succeeded in
breaking ap a bogus bank at Hartford, a town in
the back country of Indiana, called the “Manulac
iurtrs Bank,” aud arrested one Williams, the
alleged proprietor, who from the subjoined sketoli,
evidently belongs to that class of financiers)denomi
nated “ Wild Cat,’’ and oue of pure blood. The
Gazette says :
“The officers took an account of the ‘stock’ which
inventoried as follows: About $(i00 ia Is, 3’s, s’s
and 10’s of tka Manufacturers Bank, one trunk,
(which represented the ‘Bate,’) two shirts, one vest,
and two sections of a flute. The entire catalogue,
except the hills, was attached for the board bill due
the village justice. Williams before he knew who
the oflioers were, (for they passed themselves off
as ‘financiers,’) explained that the bank was got
up by parties iu New York and Detroit; that he,
Mr. Williams, was the‘banker,’and tbe only per
son to be known in the matter; that, they paid $165
for the engraving of the bills, aud that S7O,UOU had
been printed, at a cost of a quarter of a cent on the
dollar; that he came to Hartford in February laßt
to open his bank, but that the wan tof a few hun
dred dollars had hitherto prevented his operating.
He further eaid they had everything right with tbe
publisher of a certain New Y'otk counterfeit deteo
tor, as they had paid him nineteen hundred dollars
to i/note the money right! The bills were intend
ed to be circulated ‘away out West,’ bo that it
would be Cifncuit lor them to come back for re
demption.”
This iketch of a Vt’iid Cat Financier and Bank
should be studied by the people of Georgia, (espe

the 27 th day of July next, to nominate a candidate
for Congress ; and we earnestly urge upon oui
friends throughout tbe District, to take immediate
steps to have themselves represented in that Con

men—men ho will sacrifice personal preferences
for the country and the good of the cause.

Washington, June ISld, 1859
My Dear Sir—l have received your letter, in
quiring whether my friends are at liberty to present
my name to the Charleston Convention for the
Presidential nomination.
Before this question can be tinaliy determined
it will be neceesary to understand distinctlj, upon
what issues the canvass is to be conducted.
It, as I have full faith they will, the De
mocratic party shall determine, in the Presi
dential election of 1881), to adhere to the prin
ciples embodied in the Compromise measures of
1850, and ratified by the people in the Presidential
election of 185:2, and re-afiirmed in the Kansas-
Nebraska act of 1851. and incorporated into the
Cincinnati Platform in 185 b, a3 expounded by Sir.
Buchanan in bis letter accepting the nomination,
and approved by the people in his election—in that
event, my friends will be at liberty to present my
name to the Convention, if they see proper to do so.
It, on the contrary, it shall become -.he policy
of the Democratic party, which I cannot anticipate,
to repudiate theee, their time-honored principles,
on which we have achieved so many patriotic
trinmphs, and in lien oi them the Convention shall
interpolate into the creed of the parly such new
issues as the revival of the African Slave Trade,
or a Congressional slave code for the Territories,
or the doctrine that the Constitntion cf the United
States either establishes or prohibits slavery in the
Territories, beyond the power of tbe people” legally
tocontrel it as other property, it ! s cue to candor
to 6ay, that, in such au event, I coaid not accept
the nomination if tendered to me.
Trusting that [his answer will be deemed suffi
ciently explicit,
I am, very respectfully, your friend,
S. A. Douglas.
J. B. Dorr, Dubuque, lowa.
The plain and simple meaning of tais letter is,
that if tbe Charleston Convention shall approve
and endorse Squatter Sovereignty, then Mr. Doug
las is in the field; for Mr. Douglas contends note,
and always has contended, that the Compromise of
1850, the Cincinnati platform, the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, and Mr. Buchanan’s letter of acceptance re
cognise acd affirm tbe doctrine of Squatter Sov
ereignty, and there is no doubt that he is right ex
cept as to the Compromise of 1850. That this is
the position of Mr. Douglas every well-informed
man knows full well, and tbe Southern Democracy,
who are re affirming the Cincinnati platform, need
not be told that that is tbe construction placed upon
it by the entire Northern Democracy. When
therefore, they re-aflnm ihe Cincinnati platform,
they effectually endorse Squatter Sovereignty, be
cause tbe Northern party have the majority, and
will enforce their own construction whenever the
question arises in Congress.
These are trutliß which it behooves tho Southern
people to ponder well, and they should mark the
demagogues and tricksters who are urging the
claims of Douglas, for they are not worthy of
confidence.
New Books
Memoirs ok the Empress Catharine ll.—Writ
ten by herself. With a Preface by A Herzen.
Translated fiom the French. New Fork : D.
Appleton A Cos. 1859.
If these Memoirs are authentic—and there is
every reason to believe they are—they possess
great interest, from being a record of the girlhood
of tho Empress Catharine of ltussia; the tran
script of her daily life at Court; the hopes and fears,
the trials and annoyances that beßet her path ; the
vulgarity and coarseness ot those with whom she
was constantly surrounded, and who are answera
ble for her moral obliquities ; with some insight into
the plot? and intrigues that spring naturally from a
oorrupt and despotic government. The Preface
narrates with clearness how these writings of the
Empress came to be published, with a brief ( ketch
of Russian history anterior to her appearance on
the stage. In many respeots, Catharine 11. was
an extraordinary woman, and her autobiography,
written with artless simplicity and candor, shadows
orth, faintly, it may be, some of those points of
character winch afterwards made her so famous.
Her revelations are made with such freedom, that
the fact that au attempt was made by the Emperor
Nicholas to have the Memoirs suppressed, is not
to be wondered at. One thing will strike the
reader with astonishment, even -without the allusion
to it by the translator—the absence of any details
of Russia and her people. The existence of any
body or anything outside the palace walls is almost
wholly ignored. We can learn nothing in the book,
therefore, of tbe masses, and how they were affected
by passing events; but we are permitted to inspect
the very penetralia of the court and palace. Au
modeus like, she lifts the roofs from these sacred
walls, and we are allowed ta see how the notabili
ties beneath spend their time, and with what paltry
and ignoble passions their minds are swayed.—
Despite the imposing array of unpronouucable
names one meets with, who have no particular in
terest to us, ihe Memoirs are eutertaiuiug, as being
the production of “ that womau Emperor, who oc
cupied, for more than a quarter of a century, all
contemporary minds, from Voltaire and Frede
ric 11., to the Khan of the Crimea, and the chiefs
of the Kirghis.” The translator, we presume, has
executed his task with fidelity, as he certainly has
with zeal and the purest palriotism.

Chambers’ Encyclopedia. A Dictionary of
Universal Knowledge for tiie I'eople, on the ba
sis of ihe latest edition of the German Coversa
tious-Lexicon. Illustrated by wood engravings
and maps. New York: D. Appleton &. Cos.
The Messrs. Chambers, of Edinburgh, Scotland,
have secured a world-wide reputation by their
indefatigable efforts to place before the people the
most instructive as well as attractive works, in a
cheap form. Their admirable series of books en
titled “Information for the People,” have been ex
tensively circulated in this country, as well as the
serial called tbe “Miscellany,” so that they bring
the prestige of a highly successful authorship to the
preparation of the present work. Their names alone
are a sufficient guaranty that it will be valuable
for accuracy, completeness, and permanent interest.
The enterprising American Publishers have com
menced the issue of this new Encyclopedia, without
alteration from the London and Edinburgh edition.
It will be printed in weekly parts, at three cents
each ; and monthly parts at Eileen cents each.—
Toe whole work will be comprised in about 321)
numbers, or 80 monthly parts, forming six or teven
volumos— on a much more limited scale than the
New American Eucyolopselia, but of course pro
portionally cheaper. It w>li not interfere in any man
ner with the latter work, but will occupy its own
place in the field of popular information. It is indeed
“the crowning contribution of its editors to cheap
literature—a work designed, in a special manner,
equally in its construction and its price, for the
people.”
We have given the first part a cursory examina
tion. and are highly phased with it. No undue
prominence is given to any particular subject, but
the purity and lucidity of the style, and the com
pactne.-s in the treatment, will render it eminently
fitted for popular use. Some of tbe papers are
models of critic*! wilting. It promises to be ape
oially rich ia the department of Biography, while
other departments will be as full and comprehen
sive a? the nature of the work will allow. It may
not take rank with the Encyclopedia Britannica in
point of ability ; but it has the advantage over
that voluminous work on the score of cheapness,
whiob will secure it a place upon library selves
where its portly cotemporary cannot find a place.
The work will be furnished to subscribers, by Mr.
George A. Oates, as last as issued.
Dissertations on the Reqenerate Like, and
Subjects connected therewith, in Harmony with
the Theological Writings of £. Swedenborg. By
James Arbouin ,Esq. First complete American
Edition. Savannah: Edward J. Purse, Publish
er. 1859.
We are favored by the Publisher with a copy of
this work. The writings of Swedenborg nave
found many readers, and undoubtedly admirers in
this country. His peculiar tenets, however, are
wholly unknown to us, never having read his theo
logical works. That be is the god whom M. Ar
bouin worships, however, is quite evident, without
going farther than the preface The Publ'sher says
in his Introductory: “Readers will determine for
themselves as to the correctness of the views ex
pressed upon the iatereating theme discussed : yet
the assertion is unhesitatingly given, that naught
will be found in this book tending, in the slightest
degree, to wound the judgment of the most ultra
dissenter: for the'author, in tie advancement of
opinions, has been guided by bin own jost expres
sion, ‘that it would be a great mistake to suppose
that the firm conviction ot the truth of any opinion
is inconsistent with a modest expression of itand
‘Truth must depend for its reception on the evidence
which can be afforded by fair argument, and can
owe nothing to the impassioned manner of its ad
vocate.’ His style is courteous, fervid and figura
tive, and often rising into passages of singular
beauty and eloquence. The reader will be con
vinced that the writer is in earnest, and algo exempt
from the repeilant qualities which too often embitter
theological controversies.” This is high praise.—
Whether it is more than the facts will ws:rant, the
reader must ascertain by reference to the volume
itself.

Cosmos : A Sketch of a Physical Description of the
Universe. By Alexander Von Humboldt.—
Translated from Ibe German, by E. C. Otte and
W. S. Dallas, F. L. S. VoCV. New York:
Harper & Brothers.
A melancholy interest attaches to this voiome,
j from the faet that its autkor-tbe great traveller,
naturalist, and man of letters—the intellectual
Titan, whose productions have been the astonish
ment and delight of the civilized world for a quarter
of a century —now lies cold in death. These pages
were probabiy the last emanations from that inex
haustible mental storehouse—the last corrections
from his hand were given to “Cosmos”—the
crowning work of bis riper years, and a lasting
monnment to bis genius, his talents, and his indus
try.
The first volume of “Cosmos” made its appear
ance in 1850, and the remaining volumes have fol
lowed at intervals, until now, the fifth and last puts
the finish to what has enlisted the best powers and
unwearied application cf Humboldt for many
years. It was weil to lay down the pen after such
an achievement—its completeness, accuracy, and
beauty, and the wonderful grasp of thought it
evmcee, leave nothing further to be desired. The
moment one takes up the book, the perusal of a
few sentences will convince him that it is the work
of no common mind , and we almost wonder at the
man who can approach so great a eubject so fear
lessly. and handle it so weil. But there is no
shrinking on his part from the task , fully conver
sant with the theme in its multifarious bearings, and
havieg at command the highest authorities in the
same field of inquiry, it was to be expeoted that a
work wnich will be the general standard of refe
recce hereafter in Europe and America, would be
the result
The following summary of the contents of the
fitch volume, gives an idea of its scope and arrange
ment :
Introduction to tho special results of observation
in the domain of telluric phenomena.
Firtt Section. —Size, form, and density of the
ea- ch ; internal heat of the earth ; magnai c activi
ty of the earth : historical portion ; intensity . in
clination ; declination ; Polar light.
Stconti Section —Reaction o! the interior of the
earth upon its surface ; eartLiqankes,—dynamic
action, waves of concussion ; thermal springs ; gas
springs, sales, mud volcanoes, naptha springs.
Then follows “volcanoes with and without struc
tural frames, (conical and bell-shaped mountains,)”
and the “probable number of volcanoes on the
globe, and their distribution cn the continents and
islands.”
Those who possess the first four volumes, will of
eours-. make haete to obtain the fifth; and those
libraries where it is as yet a stranger, can scaicely
lay claim to completeness without it.

John Halifax, Gentleman. By tbe Author of
“ Olive, “ ike Ogi.vies,” “ Agatha's Husband,”
Ac., &lc. \\ iiu illustrations by Augustus Hoi -
i'in. New York ; Harper & Brothers.
It Miss Mulcch had written uo other bo; k than
this, “ John Haiilax ” would be sufficient, of itself
to entitle her to the first rank among iaby novelists.
We do not remember any work of fiction, issued
within the last five years, which has given us more
unalloyed pleasure in the perusal. There is not one
moment's digging of interest from title-page to
“finis.” Her style is wonderfully clear, vigorous,
bold and striking, with occasional touches of rare
beauty and pathos. John Halifax, the central figure
in the group of characters, is a type of the purest,
noblest natuie—traced, with a graphic pen, from un
lroneet, sturdy youth, to a manhood which rises al
most to the sublime in its nobleness and freedom
from worldly taint. Indeed, the hero is too good—
and we think iu this Miss Muloch has overstepped
the bounds of probability. We are sorry for pcor
human nature, but alas! we shall not ba able ta
find the counterpart cf “John Halifax” ia real
life. So much gooduess, so much moral rectitude,
and so severe au adherence to principle in every
action, is hardly embodied in one human being.
Still, while we regret the frailness and weakness of
our kind, a contemplation of what we should wish
it to be, can do no ill; on the contrary, it may incite
in us a desire to emulate the hero, and strive to
make a part, at lesst, of his virtues our own. There
is an entire absence of sickly sentiment iu the book ‘
but there is a freshuess and beauty, with a dramatic
power, oftentimes, that will make it popular, even
with others than ihe habitual novel reader. Whether
it be a description of a bit of English landscape, a
love passage, a conversation on poetry and art, or
a bread riot, with its savage exhibitions of passion,
the author is fully adequate to the subjeet, and
makes each p'eture stand out with a sharpness and
clearness of outline that betokens the true artist as
well as the poet. Tho deepest feeling pervades the
language, simple though it be, aua the exquisite

The Wars ok the Roses; or, Stories ot the Strug
gle of York end Lancaster. By J. G. Edgar,
author of “History for Boys,” “The Boyhood of
Great Men.” “The Footprints of Famous Men,”
etc. New York : Harper & Brothers.
No period of English history is more rich in stir
ring and romantio incidents than the fifteenth cen
tury, when the great houses ot Y'ork and Lancaster
fought for the supremacy. A book written for the
young, upon this fruitful theme, and clothed in
language fitted for tbeir capacity, cannot faii to be
useful. We should hardly put into the hands of cur
children the “chronicles” of Froissart, fascinating
though they are, or the heavy volumes of Hume
and Smollett, when the same knowldege could
be easier acquired iu a little book like the one Mr.
Edgar ha3 given us. His narrative of events ia
distinguished for attractiveness ot style, without
exaggeration, while the prominent events of the
time are rendered with sufficient power to consti
tute them separate and graphic pictures. Tbe il
lustrations of characters in the costume of the pe
riod, are quaint and interesting.

Ail Former Budges Shamed!
The Columbus Enquirer says : —The Democracy
of Georgia, in State Convention assembled, have
made their mark higher up on the historical monu
ment of chicanery than any previous adept in sub
tility had ever reached. We believe that for this
century at least it will maintain its exalted place
as the unapproachable acme cf political sophistry
“The Democratic parly of Georgia still adheres
to the principles announced at Cincinnati in 185 G,
and intends to insist on their being carried out!”
Why, the very question at issue between tbe Dem
ocratic opponents and the supporters of the Admin
istration is, Which represents the principles of the
Cincinnati platform ? Douglas claims to b 8 their
peculiar champion, and denounces tho Administra
tion for their abandonment. Ouruißsatisfied South
ern Democrats, too, insist that tLeir opposition to
tho Administration is based upon acts of departure
from the principles announced at Cincinnati. On
the other hand, the Administration claims to have
observed the Cincinnati platform as its chart and
to have shaped its course thereby. The question,
then, for the Georgia Democracy to decide, was,
whether the Government had been administered in
accordance with the principles avowed; and this
practical question it dodges and evades.
The second resolution expresses confidence in the
“ability and patriotism” of Mr. Buchanan—aphrase
necessarily and intentionally without any practical
meaning. It could as well be said of Lim by his
paity ii they concurred in hi? acts, as if they utter
ly repudiated them as unwise, impolitic and perni
cious. It oniy relates to his motives —not to his
acts or bis judgment. But it goes on to approve
“the priuciples declared and set forth in his Inaugu
ral Address and Annual Messages on the subject of
slavery.” Iu tbe first place, this endorses nothing
that President Buchanan said or recommended in
those productions on any other subject than that of
slavery, and in tbe second place, it wholly ignores
or shuns all bis acts affecting that question. It
expresses no opinion upon his retention amt support
of Walker and Kansas, his earnest advocacy of
the English bill, or his school for free negroes iu
Africa! With both Houses of Congress largely
Democratic, Kansas was rejected as a Blave State,
and by Mr. Buchanan’s active agency and co-ope
ration the way was opened for overthrowing slave
ry and admitting it hereafter as a Free State ; by
his act Walker and Stanton were kept iu Kansas
to labor for this end; and by his usurpation of au
thority the South is made to pay for the education
in Africa of negro: s released from slavery by the
Federal Government and returned thither as pen
sioners and beneficiaries! All these measures of
the Administration the Georgia Democratic Con
vention dedgee ; but it pats the President approv
ingly on the back for his falsified pretty talk in
behaif of slavery 1 Was ever humbug more trans
parent, or studied evasion more obvious ?
Upon this piatfor.n the Convention mounts Gov
Brown as its candidate for re-election. His nomi
nation appears to have been unanimous, notwith
standing the late very fierce opposition manifested
in Fulton, Cass, &.c. Such a backing down ap
pears to be inexplicable, and with the lights before
us we shall not attempt it. We suppose, however,
that the platform was a part of and aptly represents
the compact of reconciliation. At all events, the
latter could not have been a difficult job after the
former had been agreed upon. The platform and
the candidate deserve to stand or fall together I
Not Fire Proof.—The Key of the Gulfis down
on “Fire Proof Safes,” and gives anything but a
favorable account of their performance iu the late
tire at Key West. It says:
Fire Proof (?) Safes. —The recent tire in this
city fully tested the tire proof qualities of the various
safeß in use by our merchants, and we regret to say
not one of them that was exposed to the fire etood
the test; but on the contrary, the papers contained
in them, including ihe Crystal Palace premium SOOO
safe of Holmes A Butler, were destroyed, many of
the books and papers being burnt to tmuer.
The “Key” would have rendered the public a
moat acceptable service by publishing the names Os
the manufacturers of such safes, as were proven
not to be Fire proof. There are no doubt extensive
frauds practised by manufacturers, and the best
possible way to protect the public against them, is
to publish every instance in which then “safes” fail
to protect against fire.

Meriam on Meteorites. —The N. Y. Times
says: On the startlißg intelligence reaching
Brooklyn Heights that a tremendous meteorite
had failen ip Oswego County, Mr. Meriam imme
diately consulted his thermometer and discovered
from that instrument that “ on the 15th inst., be
tween 111 and 11 P. M., the temperature here fell
three degrees and rested seven consecutive hours
in profound equilibrium.” “ There were also heavy
dews on Thursday morning.” These phenomena,
it would seem, in the opinion c.f Mr. Meriam, in
dicate, as the doctors say, meteorites of a re
markable size. Mr. Meriam adds to his explana
tion of the phenomenon the following very lucid
statement:
“ Meteorites of ordinary size may be gathered
from the atmosphere by magnetic lightning, but
that which fell in Oswego County was so large
that its gravity was in excess of any velocity
that the lightning could find materials for, in the
ordinary state of the atmosphere.”
The announcement that the meteor story was a
humbug, reaching the ears of thie weather prophet
soon after the above was put forth, made it “ un
kimmon” awkward. Mr. M. stated bis intention
to start on a pilgrimage to the scene. The Times
hopes he did not get under way.

Northern Fruit Trees—Tree Peddlers.
T..e following communication from one who knows
of what he speaks, which originally appeared iu
the “Southern Cultivator deserves to have a uni
versal circulation at the South, to protect the peo
ple from imposition. We are aware that “distance
lends enchantment,” and this is the only reason we
can give why Sou: hern men should purchase apple
and peach trees grown at the North, when both
can be had at the South, which produce fruit in
finitely superior in every respect to any apple or
peach ever grown at the North. This is a bold
declaration, but we speak advisedly, and know
what we say, and those who purchase Northern
apple and peach trees will learn to their cost how
true is our declaration. W; have no interest di
rectly or indirectly in the matter, except our desire
to protect our people from imposition, and ourwish
that the country be supplied with the very best
varieties of fruit, and these can only be had by
purchasing peach and apple trees of Southern
growth and Southern varieties, which are adapted
to the climate:
From the Southern Cultivator.
tree peddlers from the north—caution !
Editor Southern Cultivator :—I deem it my
duty to inform you, ami through you the agricultu
ral public, of a gross fraud which u party of Fruit
Tree Peddlers from the North are attempting (and
I fear but, too successfully) to practice upou our
people. The whole country has been carefully dis
tricted ojf, and then closely canvassed by these
gentry, whose style of operations is something like
this: They prepare strong glass jai.? or cans, filled
with tbe best specimens of Northern fruit, pre
served in alcohol, and exhibit these to the ignorant
and ursuspeoting, as samples of what may be pro
duced here, from trees which they will furnish.
These fruits (seen through 6uch a medium) are
greatly magnified in size, and well calculated to
deceive and humbug people.
Now, I will lav down a few propositions which
you, ia comisou with all experienced Boutheru hor
ticulturists, know to be correct; and then if our
people are foolish enough to invest their money iu
worthless stuff, let them suffer the consequences :
Ist. None of the leading varieties of Northern
fall or winter apples are worth planting anywhere
South of V irginia. Our seasons are so long and
warm that they ripen prematurely in Julv or Au
gust, and fall off the tree, rotten and worthless.
2d. The oniy late keeping apples of any value
whatever for the South, are Southern Seedlings,
raised here. Os these, our Southern Nurserymen
have now at least fifty varieties—that cannot be
obtained from the North, and the beet of which are
superior to any grown there. I include in this list,
tho Mangum, (or Carter), the Shockley, Equinete
ly, Stephenson, Oconee Greening, Ralph, Nicka
jack, Green Crank , Limbertwig, and many
otuers—all of Southern origin, and better, in every
respect, than the Newton Pippins, Spys, Swaais,
and Spitzenbergs Os !he North. A few of ihe early
Northern apples do very well here; but, in procur
ing these, always get trees grown in the South.
3d. Our Southern Seedling Peaches, iu their
season, are also better adapted to our climate and
superior iu o’her respects to the Northern and Eu
ropean varieties. This is the proper climate of the
Peach, and our trees are far more vigorous ad
healthy than those of the North. Therefore, do not
purchase cuy Peach trees from the North. If you
want the Northern varieties, get those that have
been gralted or budded on S -uthern stocks.
-I h. The same caution will hold good in regard to
all other varieties of fruit trees, such hi Pear, Pium,
Apricot, Nectarine, ijuinee, &e.. Sea. And in
planting a vineyard get Southern Grape cuttiuga
and roots whenever it is possible.
Sth. Do not be fooled out of yonr money by
fancy colored pictures of Currants, Gooseberries,
&e. Theee fruits are not adapted to our climate—
they have been tried a thousand times aua always
failed. We have a better Currant than any culti
vated at the North, viz : the Amelanchier or “Cur
rant Tree,” [Amelanchier Canadensis, or Botrya
pi:im\ sometimes called “Shad Flower” or “May
Cherry.” This delicious fruit can be raised on any
soil, and bears proiusely. It may be propagated
readily from suckers, and I hope our Southern Nur
serymen will, hereafter, keep a larger stock oi plants
on hand.
ti h. Southern Nurserymen are now fully prepar
ed to supply all desirable varieties of Fruit and Or
namental Trees, Vines, Roses, &c.—grown with es
pecial referoneetoouroMn oiimate ; and the South
erner who sends or gives his orders to Northern
Nurseries or peddlers (while he is, perhaps, politi
cally advocating disunion and non-intercourse !j
can hardly be considered a consistent man or a true
patriot.
7th. The cause of Southern Horticulture aud
Pomology has been sadly damaged by our failures
with Northern fruits ; so much so that many of our
people are alraid to plant trees at all; not knowing
ihe differecs between those which are and which
are not adapted to oar climate. This retarding of
the natural progress cf our country in fruit culture
has already cost us thousands'll not millions ot
dollars, and still we are sending our money to the
North for trash not worth half the cost of freight!—
Was tli-re ever such “moon struck ’ folly and in
consistency ?
Sth. To succeed in growing Fruit iu the South,
get from S iuthern Nurseries, trees of Southern va
rieties, which are knowu by experience to suit our
climate, and let- the itinerating venders of North
ern trees plant their “scions” iu “free soil.” What
say you, Mr. Editor ! Malic Acid.

Reuly.—We say that our correspondent, is alto
gether right. There is neitheracy sense or necessity
in sending to a distance fur that which can be better

he complains is really getting to be serious. We

two Northern trees of the same age and variety ,
and the remaiks oi “Malic Acid” respecting the
superiority of our Southern W’inter Apples, Ac.,
ai e literally true. In a private note, our correspon
dent disclaims any illiberal or factional prejudice,
and we are sure he does not cherish any such feel
ing. He is, ’ll al! bugli matters, like ourselves only
actuated by a desire that the truth should be known,
and that our people may be awakened to their own
interests. We feel it to be our duty to pul; ieh his
timely and vigorous caution, and could add much
more on the subject, ourselves, were it necessary.—

Grief fora Child.— Mr. Backus, the editor of

in the following passage from his last paper :
“We cannot this week fill our usual column—
every time hitherto, before this, that we have sat
in the old place to the now regularly recurring duly,
we have had dear little fingers rambling along our
knees, or making stray snatches at the paper. A
little face, ail lit with happy eyes, bo-peeping into
ours. A little head, nodding aa it ebook its curls, a
mock ‘by-by, papa,’ and turning back again to the
sweet childish teasing. But now, alas! the little
fingers are no longer here ; tbe little eyeß are dim
with a dimness that shall never know the old lustre
again, and tho little curls are yonder beneath that
sod that gleams so greenly beneath the trees and
the glimmering white tombstone.”
Perils of Diving.— Captain Glennie, a noted
diver in the service of St. Johns Diving Company,
had a very narrow escape from death near St.
Johns, N. 8., on Saturday last. A letter to one of
the Boston owners of the Company, gives the fol
lowing particulars cf the occurrence :
“ Captain Glennie bad been under water for two
honrs, locking for a rnoormg anchor, and had juet
decided to come np, when the hose burst in the
boat, and the air at once escaping! the pressure of
the water against his dress drove the blood from
the lower part of his body to his head and neck,
where the helmet kept the water off and a vacuum
was created. Hie head swelled to nearly double its
size, and the biood rushed out through every pore.
He was drawn up immediately—say in about one
mmute—but was who.ly insensible, and those pres
ent thought hi-n dead; he was completely black
In about one hour he came to his senses, vomited
up some blood, aud commenced to improve.”

of certain Virginia postmasters !o send returns of
elections to the Secretary of State, without prepay
