many kinds uv iicker . i ;l:t* as i* mentioned

an is ured by them ae is troubled with the big head, !
ah. It is a mi’y line aperitif, an keeps a eciaaic, a
popiij, an a ftferveefin.
It ie jurt tk my itreth'iriajf an -irtem with Ibe
ah. They a an ’ria’. >■ I
craticeetoionbeieevera ah. They have fine pew;-, |
tail churches and a.onetrouß orgins. Thar is hoes

ah. They u a miLy proud peep's and bidievr in
the Postoii*: Accession, and they keeps go : -ug up
fruin big prea<;ber to another until tb*y get up to
entilin'. They resemble Si. John’.* bee*: with flavin
heads and ten horns, tar m epetkiu uv Loras tie
tex tay rt :
Give strong drink unto him that is reduy to I
perish, and wine unto them ihat be of Levy hearts ’
A tin my brethering and auLera, tbar's another
kind oi iicker that deprave-a tha appetite, corrupt*
the sensibilities, nauseates the * omacu, cum er- I
patei ths bowils, depressea the feelings, destroys the
oealth, and perdujei sick lied ak * an vomiting ah.
This ki’.dot auoug d*ink is comuiunty cauld whis- I
ky. But, in bifl'erent locAiifye.it has various n o- i
gelations. Iu U&ckeu&ack, it ii called rot rul; in
Tinoysee, it is named red cy ; in Iliinoys, i: ia de-
noicina'td bald face, and la Texas, whur I live, if
is termed butt head Now this Ltrcug drink iny
Christian and dyiu friends, may be liken unto Metb
odis pursuasion ; for iney is a people that sturs up
things with a short stick ah. They is death on
cainpmeelio? and preech;o up thar fre9 grase aad
paruen to a!!. They eprinkies in place uv bapU-nn,
an with thar cbontic, au icrtemio, and faliin tVu:u
grass, they gets and huugry with he vi
ness ot heart, for the tex says :
“Give strung drink unto him that’s reddy to
peash.an wine uuto them that beuv bevy hearts.”
Thar is my beiuved an dyiu friends ah, etiil
another kind uv very strong uiii.k, which is cait
“Old Jatmnaky.’’ ‘lbis is a tolerable good iicker
ah. You may drink it all day without gettm fud
dled ab. But on the next day, my brethering and
sistetn arter partakin uv th s sperits, you feds as
mean an sheepish as es yt.u had stole a mutton ah.
So it is with the Preepafterne ah. They keeps thar
Sundays in reedin thar Bibles an in s&yia thar pray
ers ah. But when Moudy inornin cmus they wii!
cheat you to a hos’ swap an ii vou outen count**
narco. They is bonsjmever, a grate peeple for
edication an iarnin, an epend a moustes i-iglit uv
munny to convurt the IleeilniLs an Du*cb. But
they ailers ha-i to ge’ thar stesm up before they
busts a biler at home ; the tex says :
“Give strong drnk un*. • niard }y to pvrish,
an wine unto them that ;vey> l un s.”
Agin, my dyiu congregs !.u •. Lb anuther
kind uv driLk which it i -mn’t do - m.y good.it
can’t do euny harm, it is fin ger p pan , an lliar
is a grate deel more water nui ginger iu zt ah. it
is lute the Caixieiite, fur that is mure water iu them
than enny thing else. Toey even carries thar
doctrines so fur as to rejscl gloriua old Bnrbin ah.
They my christiau friends is fit subjects fur the
track, au iniebiouary scietita ; bur no wbar within
the leds uv the Bible, can enny tex uo tuund which
tells you that you can enter into the gate uv tne
New Jtraealmn on water alone, lar the tex eaye :
“Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per
ish an wine unto those that be uv bevy hearts.’
And yet my heerers tear is one powerful strong
drink found in ail stores, groceries, hotels, an
poihecary ebope. It is Coneyac Brandy. It is
made outen every thing an bears a great price ah.
Your worthy speaker, my brethering and tistern,
knows it well ah It makes a man feel his keepins
ah, an<i when under its influence he is mity apr to
tel the cat outen the bag ah, an confers to things that
he ougulint to tell. Thn linker may be likened to
the Uomin Catbolicks ; bekaus when they gets
with thar preeet an under the influence of spiret ‘,
they confeeflea thar sirs. A Catholick preest, my
friends, is a great man, aa fie keeps large nunneries
lull uv Saint i J efer, it may be supposed he is ailers
reddy, far the tex says:
“Give strong drime uuto him that ia reddy to per
ish, au wine unto them that be heavy uv heart. ’
Thar is furthermore, my beloved lullerers uv tlu
ine.ik and loly, another monstrus mean drink, out
landish in name, abominable in smell, bitter in
taste, and horrible to drink uv. It is Lager Beer
ah This bind uv strong drink fuddles the ideCs,
upsets dijestion, obfuscates the understanding an
leeds the drinker thcreuf into the ways uv sin an
uv death. It may be likened o the Mormons. —
They is wua than tbe Babbiociah idolalurs tha f fell
dowu an worehipt the goidiu image which Nebi
catsnezßiir the king had sot up. Jo Smith was thar
pro Hit, and they believes that Brigum Young poa
seaoes niimacuiirtt powers. They has a-grate num
ber uv wiles, which is kontrary to dyvine teechio,
fur one man that is a true christeau can manage
but one wom&u at a time without keepiu hieseif in
bylen, W’atur tur the tex i-ays ;
“Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per
ish, an wine unto them tb.it be ot bevy hearts;’
An lastly, my dyiu Irionds, thar is a glorious
strong drink ab, that will do yor hearis good It
enlivens the teelun i pens tbe heart to deeds uv iuv
ah. You qan drink it furever without tonkin a
beest uv yourself. It is old Peech Brandy, the best
uv all Btrong drinks. This tperits, my Christian
heerers, may becotnpaired to the old Hard Shell
Baptists ah. They never deviates from tho cid
track. No faliin from grace among uin. When
they once makes the eddy, they keep.- clttr uv the
breakers uv whiskey', tbe quick sat ds uv Sbam
payne, the whirlpools uv Jimmuky, the shales uv
Ginger pop, the waves uv Coueyack, au the siroc
cos uv Lager Beer. But they steers right uuto the
havia uv old Peech Brandy, aud ihar tny dyin
friends, the winsinav bout, the lightnine flash, the
thunders roll, an theyalh quake, the cid Hard
Shell Baptists wh! set thar megs. But it makes no
difference, tny brethering, when we get to heaven,
bow we gut Ihar. The luvers uv Sbumpane takes
the ristecratick car uv riscopalioniein, tho disci
pule uv wh sky prefurs !he high ptessur dubble
bilsr eteout fiote uv inetbodism, ifie drinkers uv ol •
Jiuunaky takes Ihar passage iu then glar packit
uv Presbelenanisut, the suckers uv Ginger pop
expects to wash thar way into life everlastin iu the
cause uv (lamelism, an whenever enny uv them
gits thar, you may then sing ‘the Camels is coming.’
The swigg-rs uv old Coueyack expects to make
thar trip to Jerusalem Land iu the motley rat, uv
Roinin Catholercisiu, while the swiilers uv Lager
Bser is wittei: to go to heaven in the flat-boat uv
Mormauism eh. But tbe Baptists, the glorious old
Hard Shells, they is witling to enter the gates uv
heaven by taitb alone, an they intends to travail
thar in the old wagiu uv Baptism. An I hopes my
Christians un dyiu mends to meet many uv you
thar. But iam afraid 1 shunt ah, far 1 ste ttiat
sum is reddy to leev an is getting dry ah, and the
tex says :
“ Giv strong drink unto him that is re.idy to
peiish, an wine uuto those that be uv heavy hearts. 1 ’

B , tbo respected pastor of the Baptist denom
ination of the towD aforesaid, to obtain light, lie
was received with urbanity, anu forthwith the fol
lowing dialogue ensued:

Mr. B Yes, Mr. S.. it is a fundamental doctrine
of our church, that a man, to be regenerated, must
repent of hi* sins, and be immersed
Old S.— Well, boas, alter repentin of hie sins,

Mr. B.—Although backalidiug is much to be de
plored, still, if he sincerely repent oi hi3 sins, and
is again immersed, tha church will receive bun
again.
Old S —Well, e’poee he ag’in kicks out of the
traces alter the second time, (for you know what
critters there are iu this world, boss,) then what’s to
pay T
Mr. B —Notwithstanding a’l this, if he wilt ce
rfousfy repent, and so emuiy promise to amend his
future life, the church will again receive him into
its bosom, after being immersed.
Old S , (niter a few moments of deco thought)
proposes the closing interrogatory—Well, boss,
would’ut it be a blasted go and idea to keep eich
to lien in * >ak all the time ?
Our informant did not say whether old S. joined
the church cr not. but we incline lo the opinion
tint if he did, the elm:eta were pretty gocni lor hie

The Bstoset Military men have queer ideas
of beamy O.d General Napier, in his report of
one of his Indian hgbts, speaks of a gallant regi
ment that worked “sweetly” with the bayonet, and
another old blunderbuss ot a fighting man calls the
bayonet a “lovely weapon. A French account of
the b .t'.ie ot Magenta eulogises the bayonet in the
most ecstatic terms as the “queen of weapons.”
Now, this may be very fine, but it seems to us
that if the Iran at the rrrong end of the musket
oou and speak, he might rather doubt the “sweetness”
of the bayonet. Half a yard of cold steel in one's
abdomen does not promote digestion. Upon the
whoie, it is unpleasant, or if there be a joke in it.
it is so very funny that it tickles those who “taka,”
to death.
But what we meant to say was that in the last
resort the bayonet inns: tell the tale. The army
that uses that sweet and charming instrument bast,
generally comes off eorqneror. Ail the new im
provements iu tii e arms have not deprived pluck
aud muscle of their predominance. —Wilmington

j leap to cur arn> and—wait.
[ For two minutes, nothing; the firing continues;
I wa tiotic-j much movement among our vaeguvd*.
I We were on y two companies there; nothing,
yon know, in cnee of attack Our captain ver : *
e.nd came . the firing seemed to approach, and yet
nothing from vaLgusrde, nothing from Voghera.
We oien’t undeistaud it.
We listened, grasping the barrels of our carbine?.
Suddenly we heard tbe qvi rtve of our aeutineis, and
tnen that of the vanguards
A Longman gallops by covered with mud ard
blood; he wears tje unifarm of an officer of the
cav<iiry. Bending over the mane cf •.>
fioree, he was be airing the beast with h:e epurs ;
nia LHtre was drawn and hung to his right wrist;
he cn?d out, “To arm; ! the Ais rians! ‘ And he
ais appeared at a turn iu the road.
We were anxious t > go; some had started ; the
captain took his stand in the middle of the road,
thieateniag to run through tee firs* man who moved.
And he would have done t.! We came into or
der. not five minutes after the Sardinian
officer had oassed, that we heard the drums beat
ing tl-e ruil-Cdll and aim 8t at the same inatani
Gen I orey, with three aides-de-camp passed be
hind gallopping at full etretcb; the 17th Chasseuis
followed at a gymnastic quickstep ; they rallied us,
>.:;Q :n fir'i-tm minuted were pub Led m along
a A?tie river; I forget its name.
Our buii le-s was to protect the eatablishment of
a battery which w>\> to uiovr fe dora the head of the
Austrian column. My dozen men aud I were poet
to by the L’eutenan behind a ridge, which com
piefely D-. isked c,ur ti e ar, i covered us.
YVe l ad not iain down in the mud, when a hand
ful of ’Tyrolese, hid among the trees on the left,
opened fire on our comrades, who were much
more exposed than we. In lesa t me than it take* one
to write it, they bad knocked over fifteen of our
men. That mi-vde uh r*.ad ; my men had, without
without say mg a word to each olfcer, jump
©di infij the water and chnrgei bayonets on ths
thirty or forty Chasseurs that we ?aw, behind whom
there were more tc be Lc*tn. Oar example led
on three cotnpat ies, and roou a battalion of the
71 th We got the worst of it; received by a weil
sustaired tire, we were obliged to fall back, for it
wrs no looger an afi iir of a few hundred Tyrolese,
but au enormoui column at least 8,000 stroug,
which was advaxcing by the causeway of tbe raii
road.
We were hindering our artillery; Commandant
L*cre:*'Je sounded the retreat; we tremble with
rage. h\ rtunately we were not obliged to retreat;
we were posted near the Caseins Nova, w ith orders
to fire at discretion.
Then for two hours, standing, kneeling, biding,
going to the right, running to the left, bui keeping
our position, we burned tbe first cartridges. YY'e
were not IJOO yards from the enemy.
Thectfieers kept us back, becau*a there were
not enough of us to pitch-fork them. Besides, it
waa the most pruJent; thin fuailade w-aa mu**deio’ui
l;?r white uniforms, but it did us very little harm.
Every one of our conical bails penetrated into
these deep masses ; the Austrian bulls whistled in
our ears, but rejected us personally-
This was the first time I ever saw fire, and I was
nol the only one Well, lam not ashamed of my
self. True l made my bow to the first balls, bat
Henry IV , they tay, did ls much at the beginning
ot every battle.
Besides, it :9 a physical effeot, and has nothing
to bo with the will
B* t when this tribute ia paid, do you know how
eyeiy discharge electrizes you 7 It is lure whip
ping the legs of h race bores.
The balls whittle in your ears, knock up a dust
about you, kill one, wound another ; you hardly
givo them the slightest attention. Y r ou are gtimv ;
the fltnell of powder enters your throat and rises to
your brain. Your eye is blood-shot, your look is
fixed, stiffened upon the enemy ; all the passions
are combined in thii terribly passion which the
eight of biood aua the no se ot battle rouses in the
soldier.
But, a-j I was telling you, our company had not
much to sulfur from this target practice. My
.Sub-lieutenant, Mr. R , was wounded just as
he wes popping over bis third Austrian with tbe
nil *oi iny Sargeaut-major, who was knocked stitf
by two balls, one ia the head and one in the neck.
Our artillery, meantime, wan doing wonders ;
their balls ti*owed us daylight through tbe ranks of
the enemy, who were, however, answering iu good
round terms.
All this finished where, perhaps, it should have
commenced; Col. Du Mesnii lAlta from his horse,
woundtd; we surround him, shout “a la baioneUc! 7
and throw ourselves on the Croats.
They receive us firmly, which increases the gen
era! rage. Lieut, h. thouts, “Club ’em, my boys !”
aud we iiautile cur muskets. Disorder spreads in
the ranks of the enemy ; we use our bayonets now
and then, and escort them back to Montebello.
There i: was a very different thing ; they hid in the
shot through the windows, aud we had to
ge 1 upon one another’s shoulders to got at them.
I saw Gan. Bturet, intrepid, everywhere at once,
bravirg the bullets, sabre iu hand. He went
thiougb the stress giving his orders, active and yet
calm. 1 have him still before my eyes. At the
corner of a house currounded by fourteen chas
seurs, a captam had just been shot; he laTs; Gen.
Beuret leaps to him. He is raised up, but he falls
again. “He is dead,” says the General Gen. Fo
ray was advancing, a trumpeter at each side, be
hind him a staff officer.
Our poor Guneial meets him ; they gra3p bauds,
a::d exchange a few words. “All goes we’l,” say
they ; they go ten steps, live fugitive Tyrolese Hy
ing before them; suddenly they turn ; we are close
upon them; they shoot; Gem Beuret drops *be
reins, falters, and h3ld up by his soldiers, bioathes
his last.
We throw ourselves upon these Tyrolese, and
cut them to pieces ; the 81th becomes exasperated,
gives quarter no longer, and the enemy begin to
beat a retreat. They sacrifice 300 men-who pro
tect their flight by a terrible fire from behind the
iatrenobmems which they have improvised in the
cemetery.
It was not at this attack, which was the mo3t
murderous ot the day; they sent U3 in pursuit of
the fugitives, whom we drove to Caateggio.
O, it we had had cavalry !
They tell mo that the Sardinians behaved adini •
rably. 1 believe it, for their dead covered the
ground, riddled with wounds, and mutilated oy the
Austrian bayonets.
1 was fortunate enough to get a boy of 17, a sub
lieutenant, who was fighting like a tiger, in my
hands. One of my men was just goiug to stuff his
ei ies when I throw up Lis raut-ket with the butt end
of mine, and took the boy by the collar to save him
lro:n other inconveniences.
“Surrender, youngster”’ said I.
lie handed me Lh sword.
He is a younger son of a very good family, light
haired, slender and insolent; I saved his life and
he did not even thauk me ; I hadn’t a scratch,
thauk God! except thaf I loj my’ old silver watch
iu tLe all: ay. and that Ii ave replaced by an Auu
t;ia:i o mmandaiii's gold chronometer; I havn’t a
hair which does n:u come to roll-call.
The prisoners which we have made so far (I have
counted eighty already) are nil haggard, ragged,
aud ugly enough to scire one. You ought to see
ho v glad they were to fall into our hands.
W e came back to Montebello to sleep that same
night. I slept in a barn, life*- a prince. What trou
bles me Hies! is that my rifle, my pantalooiia aud
my pipe are spoiled.
Tbe Emperor c iiue to visit, the battle lielil and
the wounded, lie embraced Gen. Forey and Col.
Cambriels with efl'jriou, thanking them in the name
of Ihe army lor this victory.
That is a.i 1 know about it—all I have se-n. It
is very littls, and you are better informed than I ;
but l promised you to write, aud I could do no leea.
I stop here; my two-note sheets are full.
Yon may think this rose-colored paper rather
coquettish; it was given me by my lieutenant, to
whom I lend tbe papers you send me, and who al
ways keeps writing materials iu his portfolio.
So you owe him this letter, which will start in a
moment for the genera! quarters.
if S.—l have just learned that lam to change
my corporal’s panialooue for those ot a sergeaut

pleasure. I give it to you iu all the fuliuess of my
joy; pardon me this liberty.

Another Large Hotel —The Gotham people
are priding themselves upon another hotel structure,
nearly completeo, on tne Filth avenne, and upon
which $1,144,000 has already been expended. The
building eovtre sixteen full lots of ground, is seven
storks high, and has an elevation from the cellar
to the roof of 107 feet. The (teuton Fifth avenue
and Broadway is 2ud feet, on Twenty third etieet
fllo ieet,and Twenty fourth street 196. It is capa
ble of hccommodaii-jg at least 800 gueete. There
are e’ght large public parlors, 170 private do.; four
dining aud tea room?; 470 chambers, and 60 other
rcems for servants, Ao. Nearly all the principal
obainb rs have baths aod water arrangements
complete, there being tu:.y tcO Lathe in a;!. The
heating of the building is done by steam, for which
three boilers, each twenty-two feet in length and
nearly five feet in diameter, are provided. From
these the steam is conducted all over the bciidiug,
the condensed steam being c-.rried back to the
boilers by a return flue. Tae boilers and gae-heuse
occupy a distinct building, wholly exterior to the
mam structure. To facilitate communication be
tween the different 6turies, a luxurious car or ladies’
carriage is provided, which will guide them from
tbe lower floor to the uppermost story, easily con
veying eight or ten persons at a trip. This car is
propelled by steam, aud passes up and down upon
a revolving spiral shaft neatly 100 feet long and
about ten inches in diameter ; and so perfect is this
invention that under no circumstances ia the e a
possibility of accident. The grand dining hall is
80 feet long, 60 feet wide and 71 feet high, ligated
with eleven elegant chandeliers.
The splendid hotel described above has been
taken by Paran Stevens, Eiq ,of the Revere House,

Government Pensioners — Note tie Democrats
carry cut tnnr Economy Platform. — The efforts
ot tLe preseut administration at retrenchment under
the obstinacy of the late Congress in refusing to
borrow money to keep up enormous expenses are
beginning to develop a most pn digate system of
extravagance and corruption, pervading nearly ail
the departmen's of government. A Washington
despatch states that the Secretary of the Treasury
has nearly completed a list ot the New York Cus
tom House etticers whose services will shortly be
dispensed with, in accordance with the plan of re
ducing the expeuses of the department. Some two
hundred office holders , it is said, will be invited to
wa’k the plank.
What an exhibit ia here msde of Democratic
fidelity to their solemn pledges to an “economical
administration of the government.’ In a single
custom-house we are told that two hundred efneias,
who have been fattening ou the people s money,
can be dispensed with without detriment to the
public service ! Is cot this monstrous 1 And if
such an abuse is tolerated in a solitary office of the
government, what must be the grand aggregate of
profligacy when all the departments are brought
under review. These things are worthy of the
pubne attention Sac. Rep.
A Goon Replt,—A native deacon, named Ha
goy, has now the charge of tbe Protestant Arme
nian Church at Trebizond, in Asia Minor. To
shew his shrewd quickness in repiy, the following
anecdote is xe.ateu : “ Some years since the deacon
was employed by an Engiish mercantile hensa in
Sansum. and was required to work on the Ssbbatn.
Tt-is he steadily retimed to do. His emolcyer used
all his ingenuity to convince him that it was De
oeesary and right to do so then. ‘ What!’ said he
one day. ‘it an ass fell into a pit on the Sabbath
day, does not the Saviour say that it is right to puil
him out?’ ‘ Certainly.’ replied Hagov, • but it the
ass have a habit of going every Sabbath and fail
ing into the same pit, then his owner ought to fill
up the pit or sell the ass.”

has been arrested at East Boston, on the monstrous
charge of attempted outrage on the person of his
own daughter, only 17 years of age. The evidence

France and Austria. —The Biecle compares
the resources of France and Austria for carrying on
a protracted war, and assigns the superiority to the
former in the wealth, intelligence, and general
character of the population. The following is an
extract:
“ Austria, if deprived of Lombardy and Venetia,
only represents a total of 32,515,000 inhabitants,
divided as follows : —Austria Proper. 2,267,000; Bo
hemia, 4,174,080 ; other German provinces 5,056,-
000. Galicia, 5,106,000 ; Hungary. 12,096.000; Illy
ria, Dalmatia, and Croatia, 3,216,L00. Supposing
that no calculation is made of tl e assistance to be
civen by the inhabitants of tie Italian provinces,
France must add to her 37 millions thetivwor six
millions ot the Sardinian States, which will bring up
die number of the adversaries of Austria to 42 mil
lions. One third of the population subjected to
Austria, or more than ten millions of persons, in
habiiing Galicia, Illyria, the Tyrol, Dalmatia, and
Croatia, are not above 340 per square league. It ia
not in the deserts that anything can he learnt, and
it is not populations so thmiy sca'tered who pos
sess the riches necessary for carrying on a long
and expensive war. Seek wher~ you will in that
country, which counts among its population Ger
mans, Hungarians, Poles, Saxons, Croats, Servians,
Dalmatians, Slavonians, Wailachians, Morlachians,
and Siovaos, and ever so many other races, foreign
and bearing hatred-one to the other, and yen will
nowhere And the ease, knowledge, and independ
ence which is to bs met with lrom one end of the
French Territory to the other, as well as in smiling
Italy. It is only in great collections of men that
riches, liberty, and science, these three great so-r
----ces of power, are to be found. Compare Vienna,
with its 600,000 inhabitants, and Paris, rich in a
population nearly reaching 2,000,000. Compare the
great cities of Marsei.les. Lyons, Toulouse, Liile,
Rouen, and others, with the largest ones of Austria,
such as Prague, Pestb, Lemberg,Trieste, and Grata,
and the inferiority of Austria will be strikingly ap
parent. Austria is about to nndergo the punish
ment of having taken so much care to oppress her
inhabitants, to keep them in ignorance, and to
evetywhere shackle tbe tree development of the
inteiiec.uci ana material aspirations of man. By
keeping them down she has lessened their power
to aid her, and must now suffer from her ow n selfish
ness.”
Latest frosi Salt Lake —The Valley Tan, of
the 24th uit., came to hand last night.
A number of persons had just got into Salt Lake.
They started for Pike’s Peak some three weeks
before, but beard such discouraging accounts on
the route, that they were induced to return. They
sold out their traps to other parties.
Ail the streams running into Sail Lake Valley
from the surrounding mountains, were more swollen
loan at any period for many years prevous, and
there is great danger of much damage being done
to the northern portion of Salt Lake City. An un
usual amount of snow had fallen the pest winter,
and the flood is occasioned by the melting of the
enow on Wasatch Range.
Ogden City is in great danger of being entirely
rwept away oy the flood in Ogden river. A num
ber of men had been at work incessantly for many
i days making dy&es and ditches to try to turn the
I stream to save the place.
On the ls.h ult, Sait Laka City was visited by
one of those sudden and vio’ent storms of thunder,
wind and rain, to which mountainous countries ore
i subject.
i One short, loud, sudden clap of thunder made itself
: felt over a po.tion of the city, and the lightning
• struck two young men who were plowing a garden
in the southwest part of the 6tn Ward. One of
them was k’lled instantly; the other was senseless
for some minutes; the usual remedies were resort
ed to immediately, and he recovered.
Tte sixteen chi.dren remaining of the massacre
at Mountain Meadows, in September, 1557, are
■till in Salt Lake under the immediate care end su
pervision of Superintendent Forney. They will
be sen: to the States es soon as the roads are in a
parent le condition.— St. Louts Democrat, June 20.

I’ROC I. A MAT ION BT THE FRENCH EMPEROR.
The fallowing proclamation has been addressed
by the Emperor Napoleon to tbs Lombards :
Italians ! The tortuue of war having brought us
into the capita! of Lombardy, I am about to tell
you why 1 am here. When Austria ui justly at
tacked Piedmont, i resolved to support my ally the
King of Sardinia, the honor and the interest of
France making it a du'y for me to do so. Your
enemies, who are also mine, endeavored to diminish
the sympathy which was felt ia Europe for your
cause by msking it to be believed tnat 1 only made
war from personal ambition, or to aggrandize tho
territory of France. If there are men who do not
comprehend their epoch, lam not ot the Dumber.
Ia tbe enlightened state of public opinion, there is
mere grandeur to be acquired by the moral in
fluence wbicu is exercised than by fruitless con
quests, and that moral influence I seek with pride
iu eont.ibuiing to restore lo freedom one of tiie
finest parts of Europe. Your reception has already
proved to me that you have understood me. I do
not come here with the preconceived system of die
possessing the Sovereign nor to impose my will on
you. My army will only occupy itself with two
things—to combat your enemies and maintain in
ternal order. It will not throw any obstacle in tbe
way of the legitimate manifestation of your wishes.
Providence sometimes favors nations as well - in
dividuals, by giving it a sudden opportunity for
greatness, but it is cn condition that it knows how
to profit by it. Profit, then, by the fortune which
is offered to you to obtain your independence. Or
ganise yourselves militarily. Fly to the standard
of King Victor Emanuel, wuo has already so nobly
shown you the path ot honor. Remember, tl at
without discipline there can be no army. Be to
day only soidiets, und to-morrow you will bathe
free citizens of a great country. Napoleon.
Headquarter?, Milan, Bth.
The followiug documents have been posted up at
the Bourse. Tbe first is from the Emperor to tie
Army :
Soldiers :—A month ago, confiding in efforts ot
diplomacy, I still hoped for the maintenance of
peace, when suddenly the invasion of Piedmont by
the Austrian troops called ns to arir s. \V e were
not ready. Men, horses, materials, and supplies
were wanting, and we had. in order to assist our
allies, to pass in small divisions beyond the Alps
betore an enemy formidable and prepared butore
band. ,
The dnnger was great; the energy’ of the nation
and your courage supplied all; France Ima again
found her old virtu-s, and, united in one feeling and
for one object she has shown the power of her re
sonrcee and the strength of her patriotism. It is
now only 10 daya eince operations commenced, and
the Pieumimtese territory has been already cleared
of its invaders. The allied army ha3 fought four
combats and gained a decisive victory, which lias
opened to it ;he gives of the capital of Lombardy.
You have put more than 35,C09 Auntriars hors du
combat , taken 17 cannon, two colors and 8.U69
prisoners ; but all is not terminated ; you will have
more struggles to support aud obstacles to over
come.
I rely on you. Courage, then, brave soldiers of
the Army of Italy! Your forelathc-rs f.cnt above
contemplate you with pride.
THE BATTLE OF MELEGNANO.
The following ia a despatch from the Mf-jir Gene
ra! to the Minister of War :
Milan. June !).—After tbe viclory of Magenta
the Austrians made a precipitate flight from Milan,
leaving in the citadel 41 bronze cannon, a great
quantity of ammunition, and provisions in abun
dance, retreating towards Lodi and Pavia. Ou the
Bt.h His Majesty the Emperor gave orders to Marshal
Baraguay d'llilliers to occupy the position of M‘-
legnano (Marigano,) whence we menaced at the
same time two of tbe retreating columns of the ene
my : but the Austrians, who fully comprehended
all the importance of holding Melegnano to cover
their retreat, taking advantage of the remains of
the fortifications rui rounding tbe town, had strongly
barricaded themselves therein.
Marshal Baraguay d’Hiliiers, who arrived before
the place at 4 o'clock, immediately gave orders for
the attack in front by tbe divisions of Bazaine and
Admirault, while at tbe same moment the division
of Gen. Fore/ was ordered to turn the place. The
battle lasted at least three hours.
The enemy opposed a most energetic resistance
to the efforts of our soldiers, and were dislodged by
the bayonet from infrenchment to intrenchment, arid
from house to house, and only withdrew at 7 in tbe
evening, leaving the place covered with dead, one
of their cannons in our possession, end about a thous
and prisoners
This splendid result, however, _ has-been dearly
purchased, our loss amounting to 50 officers and SOO
men killed and wonnded.
We learn at this moment that the -Austrians bad
eva- uated Pavia and Lodi, and recrossed tbe Adda,
destroying the bridges.
RUSSIA AND TH£ WAR.
The following circular has been issued by Pricce
Gort3Chakoff to the Representatives of Russia at the
different Courts of Germany :
Sir;—ln presence of the compl'catiors which
have arisen in Italy, many of the great Poweis of
Europe have thought fit to make a statement of
their immediate and eventual attitude.
According to information which has reached us,
the Government of Her Britannic Majesty has in
formed the States of the Confeueration tnat in its
opinion no hostile act of the French Government, no
obligatory treaty, wou’d justify on the part of Ger
many an attack against France, or the premature
adoDtion of a line of conduct which might lead to a
European war; that, consequently, if at the present
moment the Confederation provoked such a war
without a casus faderis. and generalized without a
sufficient cause a struggle which ought as much as
possible remain to localized , the Government of Her
Britannic Majesty wouid maintain a strict neutrai ty,
and could not give any assistance to Germany, nor
guarantee by the interposition other naval forces
the coasts of Germany from any attack.
On its part the Cabinet of the JiaiUeries has sol
emnly declared that it does not entertain towards
Germany any sentiment of a nature to cause its
anxiety or give it umbrage, and that it is only ani
mated by the most sincere derire of living on good
terms wit the German Confederation, whose
rights and inters ta it is resolved to respect every
where.
Finally, the Prussian Government, while order
ing its army lo be put on a war looting, declares
that the sole object of that purely defensive mea
sure was to shield the integrity of Germany, to
place its interests safe from ail eventualities, and
to watch over the maintenance of the balance of
power in Europe.
To point out the opinions entertained by His
Majesty the Emperor upon the gi ave questions of
the moment, I might limit myself to a reference to
thoee declarations. The principles they lay down
and the assurances which they contain are en
tirely in harmony with the v;ews of our august
master.
His Majesty, however, having latterly departed
from tne reserve he bad imposed upon bimielf
since the war in the east, I think it advisable to
enter into a few details on the eubject with the Im
perial legations.
j Toe wlh of tbe Emperor to concentrate his at
; tenticu exclusively to the essential reforms intro
j dueed into theii te’i.r of his empire, wit obliged to
yield to ‘be gravity cf tbe oircumst inoe-‘ Oar
, august wester cid not think he could remain a pas
j rive spectator of complications which meciced the
! general peace.
To solve tbm-e complications we proposed a Eu
ropean Congress. The idea was eagerly received
by the great powers.
That Congress did not place any of them iu the
daik. its programme was drawn out beforehand
on ,he basis proposed by the Government of Her
Britannic Majesty, and later it received a c trelui
extension from the Austrian Government.
The tundaiusutal idea wuioh had presided over
that combination did not prejudice any essential
interests.
Oa the one baud the respective state of territorial
possession in Italy was maintained ,- and, on the
o.her hand, a result might issue from the Congress
which had nothing exorbitant or uuusualin interna
tional relations.
As far as we are concerned, we were disposed to
ineettko.-e deliberations in the most conciliatory
spirit, ana with the most equitable sentiments. Con
fident iu the support which our efforts would have
met wi.b, we had reason to nope that tbe Bcourge of
war would bo spared to mankind.
That hope has been deceived. At the last mo
tuetf, and when ail difficulties of detail appeared to
he remov'd, the Cabinet ol Vienna suddenly
broke eff the negotiations, alleging as the sole rea
son that its dignity did not allow it to sit iu a Con
gress to which the Italian Courts, consequently
{Sardinia, should be admitted.
I used not here point out that in a Congress call
ed upon to discuss the affairs of Italy, the absence
of tbe Italian Com ts would have been at tbe same
time a logical fault and au act of injustice, that
their participation emanated from the principles
laid down at Aix-la-ChapeUe, confirmed by the
Congresses oi Lay bach aud of Verona, convoked
by Austria herself
“\Ve have t-inceiely aud deeply regretted a deter
mination which, ou tbs one hand, proved that tbe
intention which dictated to us the proposition of a
European Congress, was not understood at Vienna,
and, ou ihe other, abandoned to the chaoces of war
inte.esto which wou and have found safety in the
very has's of tbo proposed Congress.
The documents ol that negotia'iou will one day
be submitted to the verdict of public opinion. We
do not m any respect fear that which will be ex
pressed upon :he conduct of the Imperial Govern
ment. It will then be proved beyond a doubt that
our only aim being to accelerate a meeting from
which we hoped a pacific solution, no difficulty on
our part, uo obstinate persistence in any procou
os.ved idea, was thrown iuthe way. We may add,
in all tincerity, that iu tho course of the negotia
lions tbe French Government honestly seconded
the.effUts of the Powers desirous, like ourselves,
to assuiv Die maintenance es peace.
However this may be, considering the failure of
that supreme attempt to prevent the war which
has just broken out, there remained another duty
for us to lulti —namely, to lima its calamities as
much as possible.
Oa this point I have already expressed our full
adhesion to the declaration oi the Powers which
tend ia that most essential point to the general in
terests of Europe.
Associating ourselves especially to that of the
Government of Her Britannic Majesty, we caunot
dissimulate the regret we feel ul the excitement
.rid’iii -;‘,t jd i-: some parts of Germany.
We fear that it originates iu a misunderstanding
similar to that which made t'.eorderof the Congress
proposed fcy Russia misunderstood a! Vienna. But
miotindeisianUiugs which concern the destinies of
nations acquiring a character of gravity which im
press upon us the cu'y of endeavoring to clear
them up.
Our august master does not wish any doubt to
exist respecting tbe views which animate him at
the present oot juncture.
SomeSthteH of tbo German Confederation seem
anxious, from fears of the future. To avoid a dan
ger which we behevehas no foundation,they expose
themselves to create very palpable ones, and this
not only not by overcoming passions Ihe develop
ment of which might imperil tho Hafety and the
internal force of the Governments, but by giving
just oause of complaint to a neighboring and pow
erful State at the very moment they are receiving
re-assuring declarations from it.
The French Govorument have solemnly proclaim
ed that it entertains no hostile intentions against
Germany.
This declaration, made openly to Europe, has
been hailed with eager assent by the majority of the
great Powers. Now, such an assent implies obli
gations.
Ir is thus that we have understood ours.
When an unfortunate chain of circumstances
ends in a hostile rupture, tho only means to accel
erate the return of peace and mitigate the evils of
war is to keep it within the limits of tbe ground
whore the rival interests that gave birth to it clash.
In the pressa. conjuncture the Cabinet at Berlin
ha taken, as the device ot its attitude, the defence
o 1 the integrity of Germany and tbe maintenance
of the balance of power in Europe.
We are equally interested iu tho maintenance ot
that balance of power, aud in this respect our vigi
lance will not cede to that or any one. As regards
the integrity ol Germany, the high aud chivalrous
character of the prince who has proclaimed himself
its guardian, and whoss power is equal to tbe task,
ought, in otrr opinion, to render any other guarantee
unnecessary. We tnink it almost needless to re
call, history in hand, that that interest also has not
been indifferent to Russia, aud that she baß not re
coiled at sacrifices when the point was to save it
from a real danger.
Bata renewal of those sactifice3 would not be
justified, in the opinion of His Majesty the Empe
ror, if caused by a voluntary act of violence, despite
the friendly exhortatiois which it lavishes, and the
proofs with which it supports-them.
Our detire, like that of the tnsjotily of the great
Powers, is now to localize the war, because it arose
out of local circumstances, aud because it is the
only means of accelerating the return of peaoe.—
The line followed by some States of the Germanic
Confederation tends, on the contrary, to generalize
the struggle, by giving i a character and propor
tions wh.cli go beyond all human foresight, and
which, under any cireumstancee, would lead to in
creased devastation, and would cause torrents of
blood to be shed.
We can the less understand this tendency as,
independently of the guarantees offered to Ger
many by the positive declarations of the French
Government, accepted by the great Powers, aud
the very lorce of circumstances, the German States
thereby deviate from the fundamental basis which
unites them.
The Germanic Confederation is a combination
purely and exclusively defensive. It is on that
condition (a ce litre ) that slid participates in the in
ternational law of Europe, on the basis of treaties
to which Russia's signature is affixed.
Now, no hostile act has been committed by
France against Ihe Confederation, and there does
not exist any obligatory treaty for the latter to at
tack that power.
Should, consequently, tbo Confederation take
hostile measures towards France on conjectural
data, and against which it has obtained more than
one guarantee, it would have falsified the object of
its ins burton, and disowned the spirit of treaties
upon which its existence rests.
We confidently entertain tbe hope that tbe wis
dom of the Federal Governments will Bet aside de
terminations which would turn to their prejudice,
and would not contribute to strengthen their own
position.
If, which God forbid, it should happen otherwise,
we shall at all events have fulfilled a duty of Irank
and sincere friendship. Whatever may be the
issue of the present complications, the Emperor,
our august master, perfectly free in his action, will
only be inspired by the interests of his country and
tho dignity of bis crown in ths determinations
which His Majesty will be called upon to take.

Great Britain. —Resignation of Ike Derby
Ministry. —Tae Loudon Times of the 13th June
says, “We have reason to believe that her Majes
ty, bs a mark of special favor, will confer upon
Led Derby the older of the Garter, and, as there
:s no Garter vacant, will summon an extraordinary
chapter ol the order for that purpose. Her Majeßty
will also confer the Grand Gross of the Bath upon
Loid Malmesbury, and Sir John Pakinton.”
In the House of Commons, on Saturday, June 11,
Lord Harrington brought up the report upon the
Address (as amended) which was agreed to. On
the motion of Lird John Russell, Her Mejeßty’s
Gpeeeh was ordered to be taken into consideration
m Friday nexl. The House then adjourned till
Friday, 17th June.
The Times Leading Article of the 13th June has
the following : “The vote of Saturday morning left
no choice to the Ministry of Lord Derby, however
tenacious of office, except at the earliest possible
moment to place their resignation in tbe hands of
Her Majesty. At an early hoar on Saturday morning
the Cabinet assembled, and agreed to place their
resignation in the hands of the Queen. This was
done, and the fact of the Ministerial resignation
was tormaily announced by Lord Derby at ban
quet of the Merchant Tailor’s Company, at which
several of tbe Ministers were present. On the af
ternoon of Saturday Lord Granville received a
summons,from the Queen to await upon Her Majes
ty at Buckingham Palace. We have reason to
believe that Her Majesty after listening to all tbe
objections which Lord Granville had to offer, com
manded him to torjn an Administration which
should at once be strong in ability and Parliamen
tary inflnence, and should at tie same time compre
bend within itself a full und fair representation of
all tbe sections into which the Liberal Party has
notoriously oeen divided. Furnished with this
commission Lord GranviUs waited upon Lord Pal
merston, and communicated to him the views of
the Queen. In the handsomest manner, and with
out tee slightest hesitation, Lord Palmerston con
sented to waive whatever claims he might be sup
posed to have, and act under Lord Granville as
Prime Minister, in the first interview with Lord
John liusseli, Lord Granviile found that Lord J.
Russell was disposed to insist upon conditions
which would render any union or co operation with
Lord Palmerston impossible, whether the Govern
ment was presided over by Lord Granviile or any
other person. Tbe Queen’npon being satisfied by
Lord Granvilie. that he wau and on y be an obstacle
instead of a means of facilitating the union between
Lord John Russell and Lorn PalmerstoD, sent for
Lord Palmerston, who had an audience of lier Ma
jesty, which lasted for one hoar and a half. On
Lord Palmerston's return from the Palace he im
mediately set out for Richmond, to oonfei with
J. Russell. Lord John Russell has undertaken
to serve under Lord Palmerston, but not under
any other person, and he appears to stand by the
letter of his agreement.”
The Times of the 14th says :
Amid the thousand and one rumors that have
been chasing one another since it fell to Lord
Palmerston to reconstruct the Whig Cabinet, one
thing alone, as far as we know, is definitively set
tled. Lord John Russell has accepted the Foreign
office. This places beyond any doubt, if douot
there could be, the poi cy :f England on the Italian
question. Lord John Russell has ever been known
as an ardent friend or tbe Italian race, Italian free
dom, and Italian unity. As these feelings have
been generally shown out of office, or when they
had not to stand any practical test, they have been
as much an enthusiasm as was compatible with
Lord John’s singularly calm and rational nature.
With Lord Palmerston’s avowed beiief, that bad
England stood by France in her negotiations with
Austria she could have prevented the war. and
that 6ven now we must look to the Anglo Gallic
aluance for the fiDal and satisfactory settlement es
Itasy, Lord John Russell will have as much scope
and authority in ms office as if he stood alone. It
is difficult to imagine a disagreement between the
two statesmen. Both wish Austria to admit the
fact of her defeat, her ascertained inferiority, and
tbe incurable disadvantages of b6r position south
of the Alps. Buffi are of opinion that she will con
sult her own greatness better by relinquishing ter
ritory which costs an immense army, and still great
er odium. Both see in France a better agent for
the reorganization of Itaiy, and for the crea ion of
that federal union which is all the unity possible
under existing circumstances.
The Times’ Paris Correspondent says, there are
rumors in military circles that the Emperor's re
turn to Paris may be locked for soon, and that per
haps Marshal Pelissier will ge the command-in
chief of the army of Italy. The Turin Correspon
dent says the Sardinian government also declares
that it doe s not consider sea coal contraband of
war. The Paris correspondent of the London Post
says, the news from Vienna is warlike. The Em
peror Francis Joseph will take the command of tbe
army himself, acting on the defensive, it is believ
ed, and taking np the line of the Adda.

The following is from the Times’ C.ty Article,
June 13: “The various statements in circulation
that Prussia will soon übandou let position ot neu
trality, causeu a relapse in the funds, although they
appear to .est on uo definite or avowed authority,
and are perhaps merely encouraged at Berlin to
meet the excittmeut iu the other German States.
Doubts as to whether a 3teauy and powerful Gov
eminent at boms can even yet be hoped tor, look
ing at the elements of which the Liberal party is
composed in the face of a compact opposition of
three hundred aud leu members, had considerable
influence in checking the disposition to buoyancy,
aud tt is also seen that a: y usv Ministry will be
placed at a great disadvantage by having to meet
those financial requirements which should have
been encountered by Mr. D Israeli in March or
April, aud which the dissolution enabled him to

Austrian Account of the Buttle of IHniteiitn’
Vienna, Juneß.—On the 7th inst., the following
official report was telegraphed from Verona lo this
oity:—
Your Majesty.—With the most profound respect
I hasten to forward to your Majesty, by Colons!
Weissrimmtl, of tbe Ge serai Staff’, a brief aocount
of the battle of Magenta, which, at a later period,
wid be completed by a detailed description of an
action which was glorious tor tue arms to your
Majesty, though its result was imperfect (geschma
lert )
At 7 o’clock in tho morning of the 4th of June,
Lieutenant Geuerai Count Clam, who was in posi
tion atMageida with about 7,000 of his own men
and ths 21 Army Corps, informed me that large
masses ot tbo enemy were approaching the tele, de
vout which he, a few days before, had quitted, as
it wa6 not adapted for defence.
At bail-past 8 in the morning, the time at whioh
Count Clam's report readied me, the troops were
thus distributed. Tue division Reiscbach of tbe 7th
Corps was at Corfcctto, and that under Lieutenant-
General Libia at Castelletto. The 3d Corns was at
Abbiate Gras to ; the Bth Corps was marching be
tween Biuasco and Bestazzo, aud the ilth Corps
was on the Po, below Pavia I ordered the corps to
advance immediately, aud directed, the 3d and sth
Corps d’Annee to take the enemy in his right
ffank, should he attempt to make an attack from
Sau Martino. It was already known to mo on the
preceding day that the enemy had crossed the Tici
no, near XurDigo, and I expected the main attack
would be made from that place. Tne Division
Dordon, belonging (o the Ist Corps, had been sent
towards Turbigo, aud, being attacked there, and
subsequently at Buffalora, was obliged to retreat.
I ordered Lieutenant-General Count Clam to
maintain his position at Magenta, aud desired the
ether corps to advance with all speed.
The attack of the enemy began at noon, and,
being superior in force, he succeeded in obtaining
possession of the dam of tbe Navig.io (a canal) and
of Ponte di Magenta. Ho suffered a tremendous
loss, but the dam and tbe intersected ( covpirt )
ground enabled him to establish himself tbere (at
Ponte di Magenta) at 2 o'clock. About this time I
bad gone with my staff to Magenta, and was ma
king my dispositions
When the foremost line began to give way tbe
division under Lieutenant General Baron Keiechach
was ordered to retake Poute di Magenta. I rode
to Kobeoco to point oat to the 3d Corps the way to
the enemy s right ffank. Shortly after my arrival
at Robeceo the retaking of Poute di Magenta and
tbe capture ot a rifled gun were announced to me.
The columns of the 3d Corps, which were full of
confidence, now advanced. General Ramming led
his brigade along the east bank of the Naviglio.
The brigade Hartung passed between tbe canal and
Carpcugago, and the brigade Durfeld followed them
as a reserve. General Wetzlar's brigade was di
rected towards the road which is in the low ground
near the Ticino. While these brigades were advan
cing, tbe division under Lieutenant General Reis
chach was again repulsed, although it—and-more
particularly the brigade under Geu. Lebzeltern—
bad galluntly withstood several attacks. Tbe bri
gade Lebzeltern, with the infantry regiment, Kaiser
at its head, made a splendid attack on Buffalora.
Although the enemy continually brought fresh
troops into his line oi battle, the appearance of the
3d Corps on his fiank at first produced a very good
effect. The brigade Hartung, being supported by
Major Gen. Durfeld, several times stormed Ponte
Vucobio di Magenta. Tbe position was taken, lost,
taken again, aud at last remained iuthe hands of
the enemy. The “ heaps of corpses ” (Icichcu mas
sen) proved the determined courage of both parties.
Alter several attacks had been made by that
gallant regiment the King of the Belgians, General
Hamming’s brigade was obliged to fall back ou
Kobeoco, where it remained. Towards evening
the sth Corps reached the field of battle, and the
brigade Prince of Hesse made several gallant but
ineffectual attempts to prevent, the enemy’s ad
vancing on Magenta. This last being attacked by
a superior force, and also by troops ooraing from
the north, the exhausted troops under Count Clam
aud Prince Lichtenstein under Lieut. General
Lillia then advances and occupied Corbetta,
through which place the retreat w.as to be made.
As the day had begun to close in I had Kobeoco
strongly occupied, and prepared for a fresh attack
in the morning of the stb. Tbe enormous loss of
the enemy led us to hope that he was much shaken
{erschullerl,) aud the courage on all occasions dis
played by our troops induced us to believe that a
renewed attack would be successful.
As we have prisoners belonging to nearly all the
regiment of the French army, it must be concluded
that all the enemy’s reserves were brought into
action, on our side the sth and Bth Corps, and a
division of the 3d Corps, were not engaged, and,
being freßb troops, could have turned the scale in
our favor. All this I had tuken into consideration,
and only waited for an account of the exact pc si
tions of the troops and their losses in order to m ske
arrangements for renewing the attack.
I now learn that the troops of the Ist and 2d
corps d’armee, which had suffered most from the
first attacks of the enemy, had already moved to
the rear, and could not again be brought to the
field of battle, unless they made-a fatiguing march
during the night. The troops in question continued
their march at 3 o’clock in the morning, so that
they must have reached their destination by tbe
time at which I should have been prepared to send
them to the front again. Under such circumstances,
it was necessary to make a retreat; and it was my
aim to keep the Corps which were still ready for
action intact, in order that they might protect the
others.
Accordingly, at five in the morning the gallant
regiment Grand Duke of Ileßse once more storm
ed Ponte di Magenta, in order to facilitate the re
trograde movement. It was the last effort of a
brave regiment—says Lieutenant General Prince
Schwarzenburg in his report—which ou the prece
ding day had had twenty five officers wounded,
and one staff officer and nine captains killed with
out one hesitating to attsck, and without displaying
irresolution when repnised.
The enemy having been driven back to Magenta,
an orderly retreat was made. I believe that I can
confidently conclude that the enemy, in spite of his
superiority, paid a high price for the possession of
Magenta, and that he will do your Majesty’s army
the justice to acknowledge that it did not yield to
a brave and numerically superior force until after
an heroic contest.
I am not able to give any nearer details concern
ing the action, as, under the circumstances, timely
returns from the different troops could not bo ac
quired. I believe to be near the trutli in eayi.ig
that we had between 4,OU(J and 5,000 killed and
wounded, and that the enemy certainly had half as
many more. Lieut. General Beisoiiach was shot
through the hip, and Generals Lebzelterri and Dur
field through the arm. I will not neglect to forward
to your Majesty a more detailed account as soon as
the separate reports have come in, and to mention
the names of those who particularly distinguished
themselves. Gyulai, Feldzeugmeister.

It is almost impossible to give you a correct idea
of tbe impression which tbe foregoing nniletin has
produced here. For the moment the public ap
pears to be stunned, but the military world loudly
expresses its indignation that the finest army Aus
tria ever had was entrusted to such en errant
bungler as Count Gyulai has proved himself to be.
Such a candid confession of incapacity hae perhaps
never been made by the commander of an army.
“Never,” said a veteran commander to me a few
hours ago, “was a great and gallant army so badly
bandied.’’ When in February last I wrote that
“faultless patent leather boots and well waxed
moustaches were the prominent characteristics of
Count Gyulai,” I was accused of having maligned
him, but people now compliment me on my perspi
cacity. Some weeks ago Louis Napoleon told his
courtiers that the actors of the Theatre Franc its
should give their first representation at Milan <--n
tbe 10th of June, and he may be able to keep his
word if they are now en route for Lombardy.

ADDRESS FROM THE PEOTLE OF TUSCANY TO THE
KING OF SAHPINIA.
Florence, June o.— l send the translation ot an
address to King V ictor Emanuel II signed by the
people of Tu cany, and intended to beseech the
King, for the sake of Itaiy, to be somewhat lets
lavish of his life in the battle field :
Sire:—' The tidings of the victory of Palestra bad
already moved every heart, when other information
was added wbiob threw a cloud over countenances
all radiant with the recent success.
Urged on by the sacred enthusiasm which for
too loDg a time was smothered in your breast, you
rode in front of onr standard, as it desirous that
yonr sword alone should cut open a path for it
through the enemy’s ranks. It was, doubtless, the
baud of Providence which brought you back safe
after putting the enemy to Bight.
Sire, a cry rises from one end to the other of our
Peninsula. You know the voice of your children.
You heard it when it called out in bitter grief, and
the highminded answer yon gave to it raised anew
hope in ail men’s hearts Now that same voice ut
ters a cry of loving anxiety ior you. Awaiting all
that the instability of toe fortunes of war may
bring, yet relying on the justice of its good cause,
Italv must not at every instant tremble lor the life
of its King. It asks from you, Sire, a proof of
conrre which you cannot deny, it asks for an act
of self-denial, of which your great soul may alone
be capable. Have tbe strength of mind, Sire, to
combine discretion with valor ; do not be lavish
with your blood , do not expose your life to tbe
enemy’s sword. You are something more to us
than merely cur King. Your name is our war-cry;
your voioe is the word of command which all Ita
lians obey. The White Cross of Savoy is our holy
Labarum, a pledge of safety and victory. You put
tbe sword in ocr band ; as many as were able to
bear arms ran to arms in your name. Sire, it is
your duly to live, it is our right to bid you to iive.
Your life is ‘he life of Italy; it is no longer yours,
—you must not riik it in extreme perils. Who can
say how many hopes, how many tuffire glories
would perish with you in the battle field ?
Itaiy has bad sorrows enough; you most make
good all her sufferings. Asa general, ae a King,
you have a defeat to revenge, and must plant the
Italian banner wherever it fell, overwhelmed by
superior forces. But as a father of your subjects
you must not leave without a guide the great Ital
ian family which puts all trust in you.
Sire, your valor can be questioned by no man.—
Let this noble quality not lead you to forget the
sacred duty which binds you to Italy. Fight bat as
a King and leader ; so that yon may live to plant
our banner on the uppermost summit of the Alps,
while the Italians shall lay their victorious arms at.
your feet, crying ‘Long live Victor Emanuel, King
of Italy.’

now, forth.) moat part, united Piedmont, This
interruption has no’, however, prevented the grea’
er number of Lombard refugees from hastening to
their longed for native lend This h > • eward move
ment, toge’her with the exigencies of war, has de
populated Vercelli and Tutiu. Those who were
tar. uuate enough to reach the Lombard eapitalon
Wednesday morning had an opportunity of witness
ing one of the most exciting aud interesting scent-)
ot modern history—l mean the entry into MUn of
the two allied oove.eigns. A friend of mine, j-j-t
arrived front Milan, t-lh rae that tbe most power
ful i-naiiv,alien cannot ocnceive tbe euthusiaelio
reception which both the Emperor and the King
met in the au ten’ dwelling-place of Viscontis aud
t forzas.
Or this solemn oooaaion the peopled Milan
went beyond the limits of Italian enthusiasm, and
greeted t. eir liberators v. i h a hearty warmth that
has made the deepest impression on the minds of
Napoleon end Victor Emanuel. Although tbe en
trance of their Majesties had been anticipated for
tour hours the Milanese were on thsir guard, so
that the march tbinugh tbe streets of the town was
really a glorious and triumphal one. The King did
not try to conceal the deep emotion whioh his lice
betrayed, the Emperor himself c uld not control
the joy he telt ou that, memorable occasion. And,
indeed, how could it have been otherwise > Both
the mouarehs must have felt at that time ail the
power they possess, ail tire good they have done.
For kings aud emperors there is such a satisfaction
in aohieviog a glorious work—the work of a great
aud unhappy people s regeneration—-that one can
understand how in that hour their hearts must have
been overwhelmed by joyful emotions. Were lio
narrate all tho touching episodes of that day 1
ehoLld not write a letter but a volume In order
that you may luily understand the solemnity of the
occasion, I must tell you that after the bloody bat
tle of Magenta,j the Austrians, ou their passing
through M-.lau, had spread tha news that the whole
of the Btedmontese army had been destroyed. Y’ou
may easily imagine the anguish of tliuse who had
relatives in tne ranks of the national army. As the
Piedmontese regiments defiled you might see ladies
of high rank leave their carriages, and with tears iu
their eyes anxiously ask for tidings of their sous or
of their brothers. Happily for them the Austrian
statements soon turned out to bs false.
When the Te Dcum was over the Emperor lode
to the Villa Reale, and the King to the I’alaoe
Buses, The popular rejoicing continued till a sad
procession began'. It was formed by the wounded
of Magenta, woo were carried from the station to
the hospital. You might then have ssen counts aud
marquises carrying in Utters the woundetj Zouaves
and Beivagiierli. You would have Been more than
200 equipages of the noblest and wealthiest families
of tha town wailing to convey the wounded
soldiers, who were about to change their hold
hospital beds for soft and easy ones. Tho palaoes
of nobles and bankers w ere thrown open to the
(loops, and tabhs laid in a princely fashion for the
newcomer). It was imposs ble for soldiers or effi
eers to make the propiietors of cases aud hotels re
ceive payment for relreshments. Money was free
ly distributed amongst the wounded by ladies aud
gentlemen. A deputation of rich and iufluential
peoplo was sent to the King begging him to have
the loan ordered by the Austrians still raised. Forty
millions of francs were thus subscribed before even
ing. While these exciting scenes were still going
on the admirable proclamation of the Emperor was
published. You w ill no doubt have already re
ceived this remarkable document.
In the meanwhile Piedmont was not idle in oelo
brating the great victory As I told you in my last
letter, the Sardinian capital was making great pre
parations for the solemnity. Although the day had
beeu raiuy, a starry night had followed. In the
evening a gentle breeze had swept nway the heavy
clouds of tho day, and a glorious moonlight—an
Italian moonlight—added to the effect of the moat
successful illumination. The Town-hall, the arse
nal, the Chamber of Deputies, tbe Senate, the
King’s Palace, Piazza San Carlo, and all the offioes
ot the Piazza Caetello, were ablaze with thou
sands of oolored lights. Tbe stations of tbe Geneva
aud Susa railroads wore also brilliantly illumina
ted. The glorious names of Frasinetto, Hontebel
10, Palestro and Magenta were interwoven wilh

Knee Between Bill Chentlinm nml Tnr River.
The match race between Bill Cheatham and Tar
River, two miie heals, for f 2,(100, took place yes
terday altemoon over the Fa hion Courss, and was
won in two straight beats by Bill Cheatham. The
attendance was lather slim, probably caused by
the threatening BBpect of the heavens, which strong
ly betokened rain ; but those who were present
were highly delighted with the very excellent run
ning.
This race was tho third one that has taken place
bat.weep theße horses, it being a test match of their
abilities at two miles, as the one to take place oa
Monday next wiil be of their powers at three milee,
their previous laces not being considered deoisive
on these points. The first two mile raoe wa won
apparently with great ease by Cheatham , but he
was defeated at three miles by Tar River. Both
parties were dissatisfied with the result cf Bless
two former races. The owner of Tar River thought
that hie horse was uot in condition at the time of
the two mile race, and hence bis defeat at. that
time. On the other hand, tbe owntr of Cheatham
thought his horse was not properly ridden in the
three mile race ; and hence the willingness of both
parties to make the matches over again. The
ownsr ct Cheatham selected another rider—Qil
patrick, tha well known rider of old Boston in his
celebrated lace with Fashion, Lsxingtou in his
great match against time, Prioress iu her first race
in Eeglaud, and a number of other horses in im
portant races in all parts of this country—and the
selection justified his judgmeut in this instance, as
Gil. rode in his usual admirable style, and brought
bis horse in a winner. Tho betting on this race in
clined in lavor of Tar River, who hnd again risen
in the eyes of turfmen on account of his late success.
In Bome instances two to one were laid on bim, but
generally the oddß were about tan to eight, which
was current before the first beat ; afterwards it was
two to one on Bill Cheatham, without tahers.it
being very evident that Tar River would be de
lealed. There was no lime betting that we heard
if, and it, ia presumed there was none. The track
was dead, though neither muddy nor slippery; and
the time made over such a course was very good.
The following are tbe details
Hirst Heat. —The horses had a bsauliful start,
Tar ou the inside, aud wont to the quarter pole side
and side. Leaving there, Bill Cheatham dashed in
front, and took a position nf about oue length
ahead of Tar, which he held past tho half mil# pole
—time fifty live and a half seconds. Thsir relative
positions were maintained to the three quarter
pole, where Tar made a brush for Bill and closed
up a trifle, but coming to the stand Cheatham shook
him off again and crossed the score a length clear
of Tar, making tbe mile in 1:52 12. Goiug into
the second mile Tar got, the persuader, and ro
epon ling, again closed a little, but at the quarter
pole Cheatham was again clear of him They ran in
this way to the half mile pole, when Tar again made
a desperate attempt fur the lead, and as they went
around the lower turn reached tlio Hanks of Bill.—
Up the homestretch to the Btand the struggle was
intensely exciting—Tar River being urged to hie
utmost—and so they cams'dashing up at the top of
their speed past Ihe stand, Cheatham leading about
a length, and winning the heat in 3:15.
Second Heal. —Tar got off with the lead, but
Cheatham soon wentiu front, aodled to the quarter
pole one length in advance, and got away a little
further as they turned on to the backstretch. At
tbe half mile pole Hill Cheatham was an opeD
length clear of Tar, in fifty-seven seconds. Tar
closed up again on leaving tbe Mansion Iloueo and
going around the lower turn, and at the three
quarter pole the daylight wus shut out between
them. Iu this way they cameup the homestretch,
passing the Judges’stand in l:5(i. On going into
the second mile Tar made a vigorous and energetic
brush at Bill, and at the quarter pcle got at his
flank, and before they got on the homestretch was
at Cheatham’s girth ; hue Cheatham had stiff Buna
thing left, and at the half mile pole was again clear,
with an open space of overa lenglh, which he main
tained around the turn. Up the homestretch Tar
made bia last effort, and,.aitbough unsuccessful, was
very determined. Cheatham came home, a winner
of the heat and race, a length in front, in 3:46$. —

The Dromios in California —ln this city there
are at present two young gentlemen, twin brothers,
who resemble each other so oloeely (especially the
oldest one) that the most minute observation is ne
cessary to detect or oisiinguieh one from the ether.
Tney are known in the Utile circle of their own ac
quaintance as Terry and Owen , and the many
mistakes that every day occur to one of them on
the other’s account would tickle tbe risibles of a
stoic. Ou one occasion, some six weeks ago, one
of tbe brothers was walking up Commercial street,
near Kearny, about 12 o’clock at nigbt, when his
neck was encircled by two strong arms, in a man
ner that nearly took bis breath away, und caused
him to cbont “ Garrotera ” at the top of his voice.
It turned cut, after a few mutual explanations, that
the fair gnselte had mistaken the unfortunate wight
for his brother, whom she loved to madness. But
last t\ suing it was the other twin's turn to create
merriment to an unlimited degree, in a fashionable
saloon, next doer to the U. 8. Branch Mint.
It seems that be bad been in quest, ot his noun
terpart the entire evening, and in tbe course of his
perambulations had visited all the temples of Bac
chus in the city, and consequently bad imbibed
frequently. Unable to find the object of hie search,
who, like Frank McLaughlin ot yore, had only left
each place five minutes *n advance ot his pursuer,
he came down to the Opera House, where he blis
tered both his hands applauding Miss Avonia Jones,
and then lelt the theatre to pursue the chase of bis
fraternal relative. Arriving at the Magnolia, he
walked in and called londiy for a glass of wine,
which was handed him , but rust as he was about
to put the goblet of nectar to hie lips, he caught
s ght of .is nfieotion in the mirror, behind the bar,
end mistaking bis own form for that of his brother,
exclaimed : “Why, where the d—l did you come
from ; I’ve been hunting you all night.”— San

Democratic Whigs —Tbe Richmond Whig tells
ns that runaway Whigs who are hath jring with the
Democracy diu not get innoh comfort out ot the
ate Virginia election. Not only was there not one
of these gentry (etrange to s&y) on the general
ticks*, but those of them who came forward for the
Legislature and Congress generally received some
thing they did hot bargain lor in going over to the
enemy, viz: a sound drubbing. Chief among
these is the notorious Faulkner. A better merited
or better administered lamming than he received,
we do not. remember. The late representative
from the Richmond District also is not free from
the suspicion of having onoe been a Whig. The
tiea’ment of a portion of his own party in the late
election will pro bably render the recollection of his
former Wliiggery less disagreeable to him. Ander
son, of tbe Richmond city delegation, hsd hardly
become acquainted with his new associates, before
‘ne was hurried off to the limbo of political ghosts.
The same may be said of Clark, of Campbell. Bur
well of Btdiurd, Dorman and Maseie of Rook

Soldiers of the Revo lot ion art War— The
Pension f Jflice had upon its rolls ou the 3Uth of June,
1858, the names of two hundred and fifty-turee Rev
oiutioniry soldiers. Os this Bmall remnant of he
roes information has been received that during the
succeeding half year foity-eix went to their long
account, leaving upon the first day of the present
year two hundred and seven survivors The ages
of some of these soldiers are stated to have been
from 100 to 103 years. Thus is dwindled away the
small number of that gallant band which has come
down to us from a former generation to pass for
ever from the earth before this generation shall
nave finished its work. At the period above referr
ed to there were 4,200 widows of Revolutionary
soldiers upon the pension rolls, and in six months
death diminished that number by f£)s. Os those
living at the beginning of this year lorty-Cve were

railed from Philadelphia on the 9 h of June, and on
Sunday, the 12th, made ‘he I'i'htboatonKaiituckeo
S. Shoal about 3 o’clock P. iff .
At 4 o’clock P. Al., of the yatne day, a dense fog
envelopeu the sea, and continued without interrup
tion until the Ifith, when the ship at 4 o’clock o i
(tie morniug of that day, while ln-ading N. W. wit .
a light S. W. wind, was discovered to be approach
i jg bieakers directly ahead, and very oicaa aboard
the tog being at the time so very thick that we
could scarcely see the length of the ship ahead.-
Attempts were immediately made to gat the ship
about, but an the wind was very light, and a hea >y
sea htaving in, she had no steerage way, and
could not be governed by the helm or sails The
ship immediately strut k bottom heavily, and with
the neat swell hove over the ledge anil eaemed to
be atioa*, but wilh the succeeding sea was thrown
In upon tba rocks, wtiioh were rough and jaggy,
and over upon which tue sea wes breskiug iu con
tinuiil loam The ship in a few scouuda bilged,
and in less than 3D minutes had broken upa t amid
ships, split open at stem and stern, and fell apart
into the surf.
There ssemed to ba no possible chance of esoap
ing to the shore, as the wreck lay among the point
ed rooks and ledges, and the tremendous, heavy,
combing seas oamo in rapid succession, tumbling,
roaring, rushing on, past and over the wreck in one
white sheet of foam, expending their fury amoug
tlie rocks and gnlohes between the wreck aud the
main shore.
All human aid was powerless to assist the suffer
ers, had it been there. One man as a forlorn hope,
jumped in the surf with aline, hoping be migh’
reach the higher rocks. Thrice he caught hold ot
aud was thiown against the rooks, but was sucked
back by the receding waves, and wheu last seen
this heioic maa was cliugiag to a fragment of the
wreck in the surf, his face aid head streaming with
blood. Noble fellow !he died nobly attempting to
save his companions.
The captain seemed calm and silent, and lotd the
crew they must try to save themselves, but ex
pressed hie fears that they would all be lust. The
jibboom was at this time nearest the Bhore aud
slightly elevated, and from this the second mate
succeeded in throwing himself upon the highest
part of a ledge when the sea ir.n off, and thus
managed to clumber over a gulch aud out of its
way baiore it returned.
The captain, with nine of the crew, then attemp •
ted to gam the recks from the jibboom, but a heavy
sea swept them all off, and into the surf among the
floating mass. Dmiel Kiley ; one of the survivors,
was am, ng this number, and the captain was so.
several minutes oiiuglngto the same spar in tbs
surf with Itiley—the captain at oue end one side
and Kiley at the other end on the other eide. This
spar was thrown on the rocks and Kiley succeeded
iu clinging to them, and crawling up before the
sea returned.
Ho last saw the oapfain as the aes ran off, stand
ing apparently in the front edge of the receding sea,
face to the shore, aud appeared to be throwing off,
or betk from his shoulders, the large thick coat
which he had on. He wmt immediately uudtr,
backwards, and v, <a seen no more.
The balance of the crew then attempted to laud
from the jibboom, but they, too, were BWept away
by the sea, and only one of this ot, John V. Baker,
succeeded in getting sale ashore.
None of tho bodies up to this date (20tb) have
been found The sea has beoome too rough sidcs
the wreck for boots to visit the place for the purpose,
ofgrappling for the bodies, but as soon as it becomes
smoolh the bodies of the unfortunate men will be
sought alter, and it tound their remains will bs prop
erly buried.
It is supposed that if found they will be much
mangled by having been thrown against the eteep
rocks, and jammed amoDg the fragments of the
wreck.
A part of the broads de of the ship has driven up
on the shore, but the balance lias ground up on the
rocks, and strewn the shore and gutones in small
fragments.
The whole mass of satis, rigging, spars, timbers
ebatns. anchors, &c., Slc, now lies off in the surf
just oul-ide of low water mark in one complete
snarl, the ends of timbers, sparo, masts, bowsprit,
and a pieoe of the bow are sticking out of water,
and swaying back and forth in the surf.
On the 18ckthe wieck was sold an it lay for SIOO,
and what materials bad been saved for slls.
The situation of the wreck is a bad one, exposed
to the open sea, and the tide is such that it is very
seldom smoo.li enough to work at wrecking where
tho ship was lost. It is very doubtful whether the
chains and anchors, entangled as they are with the
mass of wreck matter and ballast ot the ship, oau
ever be got up.
The Opposition Niats Conreacfoo.
We believe the proposition for the opponents o
Democratic misrule in this State, to hold Conven
tion on the third Wednesday in July, has met with
very general favor and acquiescence. Indeed, we
are gratified to witness the unanimity that prevails
on the subject. It argues well for the beginning, iu
Georgia, of a movement that is destined to sweep
over iliis whole country, and to bring to a terrible
judgment a party that, for the last seven years, has
most shamefully governed the country, and beiray
ed the confidence of the people.
Wo desire to make aremaik or two in connection
with the holding of this Convention, and then to
leave all else in the hands of tho people.
In the first place, we hope that in character and
numbers, the Convention will be worthy of the high
and patriotic objeole that oall them together. Lei
evety county in the State send up its delegates, and
let them be sober, discreet and thoughtful men, who
can be relied on to give tone and character to the
Convention, and wisely direct its deliberations. —
Next Tuesday will be a favorable day for the ap
pointmenls, and we trust every portion of the State
will avail itself of the opportunity. If not then
some early day thereafter may be designated for
the purpose, and by no mesus should it be neglected
altogether.
As the papers are freely discussing the snbject, if
may be expected that we should say something
relative to the expediency of nominating a candi
date tor Governor. We are not prepared to give
a definite opinion on that subject, and feel perfeotly
wiliiug to leave the whole responsibility with the
convention itaelf, after it shall have met and receiv
ed information from every portion of the State.—
Alter a comparison of views, suob as they will be
enabled to make, they will be far more competent
to deoide the question than we can possibly be ai
the present time. Be their decisieu wbat it may,
wo expeot to give it a cordial acquiescence. We
may say, however, in advance, that we are aware
of no fact, and have seen no reason Designed by the
various papers that have advanoed opinions on the
subject, that should settle the question in the nega
tive. The idea that there is anything in the ad
ministration of Gov. Brown, cr in Gov. Brown
himaell, to conciliate the favor, or to paralyze the
nerves of bis political opponents, we regard a*
supremely absurd. He is tho smallest of all tho
public men of Georgia that have reached the high
position which be holds, and he has done nothing,
by accident or design, which, weighed in the
balance of merit, can give him a claim to the admi
ration and homage of this great and intelligent
State. To the conlrary, he hs.s done much to belittle
and degrade us, and had his will been made the
law, we should have had a war ot classes in our
midst, and a scene of financial trouble and disaster
unparalleled in the bistory of the State. It wore
idle to tell ns that tuch a man cannot be sifted
down and made to appear in hid true light before
the public, or that the intelligent people of Georgia
will rißo up and honor eo email a reaidium as will
be left by ibe ordeal.
Our present impression i3that a candidate should
bo brought into the field against Governor Brown,
provided the right sort of man Bhail be willing to
accept the trust. Hia “ineffectual fires” would
“pale” into insignificance before the light of tnch
men as Aabury Hull, of Clarke; Charles J Jen
kius, of fiiohmond; Wm. Dougherty, of Musco
gee. and a number of others whom we might name
VVbile outlie subject of aconveniion we would
say a word to our friends in relation the place of
meeting. Macon has advantages far superior to
those of Mil edgeville, or any other plaoe in the
State. Whether on the score of centrality, acceasi

Pike’s Peakers Going to California.—A vast
number of the disappointed Pike's Peakeis have
gone on to California. The overland emigration to
that Stale will exceed that of any year since 185.>,
Mr. Merrick, of this city, left the ‘ mines ‘ about the
last of May, a few days before the rich diggings
were found. He met between Cottonwood Springs
and Fort Kearney, in three days, the following
number of Pike’s Peak teams an route for Cali
fornia, viz : June 2, 372 teams , 3d, 169 teams
4th, 264 teams ; t-tal, 805 teams. These teauiu
were mostly oxen, four yoke to the wagon, and
would average five persons to the wagon These
were ail met on the road along the south side of the
North Platte. He passed an equal number of
teams encamped ; the owners were discussing
whether it was better to letam home or go to Cali
fornia. One of the officers at Port .Kearney eounl
ed 6,000 teams that passed the Kurt in the first 20
days of May, going west up the Soil h Platte road
It is impossible to estimate the number of persons
who started for the eold diggings this Spiing, but
we do not think 100 000 an over estimate —Chica
go Tribune, June 22.
Billiards for the Insane.— At the South Bos
ton In-ano Asylum there are a few patients who
have now, as they had in happier days, a fervent
passion for the game of billiards, and to gratify an
innocent desire of such, the directors of the insti
tution have reoently caused tbe introduction of a
billiard table. While much harmless amusement
is thus derived by many, an opportunity ts thus af
forded of witnessing the working* of that singular
power of human nature which permits the most
flighty and turbulent dl-positions 10 be rendered in
telligent and submissive under the influence of
some object that engages the attention, pleases the
fancy SDd excites the sympathy of one of an uo
stable mind. There are admirable players among
them, and one, it is thought, would be no meau
match ior Phelan himself
Steam Ice Boat.— Mr. Norman Wiard, tbe sa
vemer of the steam ice boat, is In New York city,
making arrangements to put six of bis boats on the
route from Prairie dn Chein to Bt. Paul, next Fall
The boats resemble a city railroad car, with a e
tsched engine-room behind- They re very light
but will accommodate 50 passengers, and are ex
pected to attain a speed of 25 miles an hour. t
successful, a Winter trip may be organized to go
up the Red River and the Saskatchewan, 3,063
miles. Should the ice fail, the boat Will run very
well in the water.
Circumstances alter Cases.— The Nashvliie
Patriot telle a good story apropos of the late elec
lion in Virginia. It seems that, at a pnbiio meet
ing in the first Distriot, for a discussion between
Messrs. Nelson and Haynes, competing candidates
lor Congress, the report was current that Virginia
bad gone for Goggin, and perhaps Nelson made
seme allusion to the “small circumstance” in his
speech. When Haynes, the Democratic candidate,
came to reply, he explained the canee of the Demo
cratic rout, to the entire satisfaction of all who were
satisfied before tbe explanation. He said, snbstan
tially, that that man Letcher ought never to have
been nominated. Ho was the ugliest man In Vir
ginia, in the first place. Besides being red -headed.
red-eyed, and red-nosed, he was a red-mouthed
emancipationist, and thoee he didn’t scare away by
his personal l eauty, fled before his political reoord,
and nobody oared a “red” for him. One would
have thought that Havnes was glad that Letcher
was beat.— Richmond Whig.
Bread by Weight —Tbe bakers of Philadelphia
squirm awtully under the proposed legie ation of the
Council of that city, requiring bread to be sold by
weight, and protecting tbe public from their frauds
and dishonesty. Their opposition ia a proof ot the
ueoeasity of the ordinanoe. In the oity of New Or
leans bread ia sold by weight, and in every city ©f
Europe the custom ia the same. It ought to be t±e
universal law of all communities where so many
are depandent upon baker* tor the *taff of life.
