fcupp’y at orce each corps v,irh twenty live per

the efeenceof a volunteer force cum*is* in their un
dertaking tbemcelves to bear, wi ? bout any costs to
the public, the whole charge of their trainiog and
practice previous to being cal ed into ac.ua 1 eer
vice.’*
The government a'so declares i* readier to re
ceive twcoliicera or uiea.bers of each at
their own expenee, into the tchool of mu?:k ;try at
Hyllif, to ULd-jrgoa course of instruction ; rtcom
mends the formal ion of artillery rather than rifle
c >rps in the marit me countiep, as ‘in case of
war the vast cumber of mounted on the coast
defences wi:l rt quire a iaigfe artillery force to work
them, and tne volunteers can in lo way be so use
ful to the public service as h hen formed into artil
lery eorptr to man the batteries, and thus release p.
proportionate of Royal artillery for service in
the field ; ‘ and furl her— “
Her Mfejesty'e Gverntnent will, therefore, in all
cases whtre coast batteries arr available for prac
tice, give a preference to the formation of artillery
corpi'. At places on the sea coast at which batte
rier do not now exist, but where lire military au
thoriries may deem iL an virable to place guns hereaf
ter, artillery corps may u"*-fuby be formed, if the
me in here, aided by the residents in their v:cini ? y,
would take upon themselves their erection c fear in
works.
In that case would be provided by the gov
ernment for training and practice, and for arming
the works in case of necessity.
Should the lord lieutenants of maritime counties
be of opinion that these suggestions can be carried
out, Her Majesty’s government wi:l request the
military authorities to afford competent prottsdonal
advice as to the selection of proper sites of such
coast defences, and as to the construction and ar
mament.
The foimation of these volunteer companies
appears to be going ou steadily and rapidly.
The Peace Question and the London Times.
—The London ‘limes of July 18, holds the following
bitter language respecting tie peace of Viilafranca
and proposed conference at Zorich. Its remarks,
however, are more severe than just, and are evi
dently prompted in part by pique at the proposed
exclusion of other European powers from the con
ference :
Austria must hope that the good humor of h-r
new protector will endure Giber questions mu t
soon arise, which were probably not lu’.ly and ecuaeed
at that friendly breakfast party. We can understand
that the loesea of the two arum-s and similar topics
might reaaily be set aside. “If you want ton.eke
au omelet,” said the French proverb, “you must
not mind breaking the egus but there are omelets
yet to be made, and it l.- not quite cllar bow the
eggs are to be laid wherewith to make them.
We are now told that Europe is not to be in any
way consulted upon these matters, that Austria and
Fiance will meet at Zurich to settle ihe terms of
peace, and that Sardinia —being, w F e suppose, now
quite tractable under the guidance of Areee —is to
be admitted to the Conference. We are no advo
cates lor a Congress. We are glad to escape from
so ent angling and so uneatisfacti ry a task as that of
giving effect to Louis Napoleon’s great scheme of
consolidating despotism in the Italian peninsula
Hut it occurs to u* that there are some questions to
be settled by this Zurich Conference which willtr-m
scend the powers of the parties to the treaty of Yil
ialr&nca. Those two Archdukes are to be canied
back again to Modena and to Florence. Who is to
doit? Tae army ot the “Italian Cos fedeiation ?”
The Couiederaticn itself ie not yet in being When
it shall come into existence, of what will its army
consist? It of contingents Horn the Italian States,
then the army will of course be Italian. Hut in that
case will Italian troops act precisely as Austria’s
Emperor and as Tuscany’s and Modena’s Grand
Dukes would desire them to act ? Th se two excel
lent Sovereigns were so ill-advised as to reek away
into the Austrian camp, instead of acting with the
wisdom ol that prudent and clear sighted Friucess
who took a neutral position in Sw ; tzeriuijd, utid
return'd to seek au asylum with the emmieb o:
her subjects It is much to be feared that Italian
troops would hardly serve those Grand Dukes,
fresh from the Austiiao camp, as a very trusty
body guard.
We are informed also that deputations from Tus
cany and Modena are already upon the point, of
setting forth lor Paris to protest aginst this violent
restorati n, and to remonstrate with the Emperor,
•who, after encouraging the people to rise, is. now
ab >ut to replace them under the yoke of their eu
raged masters. Nothing but violence can come of
this, unless Tuscany and Modena are to be kept
quiet as Rome is now kept quiet. We might aek
aiso whether it Was uiranged how the neutiai states
of Italy are to be mace mtinters ol ibis Confedera
tion What right, have the three powers assembled
at Zurich to disposeot the people ot Home, Naples,
Tuscany, Parma and Mode.ua ? Will Naples sub
mit ? and, it not, whot-hal force her ? lo Rome so
readily coerced ? Louis Napoleon ;s a strong man
agaiu.-t some people, but 1.0 has shown himself to
be a very co aid m fai eof Rome. ,
As to Austria she still has one chance left. If
she is sincere in her promise to introduce into her
pub.ic laws and administration reforms contorma
ble to the spirit ot tne tunes, she nas awakened to
the new conditions under which every government
must iu this age hold its power. If by tuis phrase
she means a restoration of the constitutions 1 rights
of Hungary, a more tquitable government in her
own dominions, and a irnnk acceptance of anew
order of things iu Italy, then she may gain strength
iu the sympathies of Europe, she may escape trom
her present state of dependency upon a man whom
no one yet has trusted with impunity, and Europe
may enjoy peace. Rut if these are mere words
without mteutiou, then there ia something prophetic
in her anticipation that “new struggles may ensue,”
and events will in all probability justity the first
impression crtaled by the publication of this treaty
—that i was made With the intention that ii should
be broken.
France.—The Debats givta the following ex
planations of whet it conceives to be the un st pro
bable of the Italian states, under the
new orgatnz vtiou :
A coa paiidou of the despatch by which the Em
peror Napoleon made known the baeia of peace
adopted at Villafranca, with that by which the Em
jeror ot Austria communicated the same event to
lis subjects, gives a complete idea of the stipulations
made by the two Sovereigns.
While informing ua that Austria is to retain Ven
etia, the French despatch did not indicate what
wuuld be the new frontier between Piedmont aud
Austria. The Austrian despatch mentions the line
of the Mine o, which removes all uncertainty as to
the late of Pcsehiera and Manrua, which remain in
the hands of Austria. Tire French despatch said
nothing about the duchies, and the Lsuperor proc
lamation to the arrey in Italy only alluded to them
in speaking of the governments which had kept
aloot from the movement, or were recalled into
tueir posses-i us. The Austrian despatch express y
stipulates the restoration ot the Sovereigns ot Tus
cany and Modena.
Trie ties patch does not mention the Duchess lie
gent of Parma, but it appears to as so much less
piwhab'e that she is not included in this general
restoration, that, of ail the Sovereigns restored, the
Duchess Regent is the one who wiil experience the
least embarrassment iu aguiu meeting her people.
Lastly, the Austrian despatch dies uot represent
the establishment of a Contederation as an acco n
plished fact, but merely states that Austrta agrees
with France iu promoting the formation ot an Ital
ian Confederation. That stipulation thus becomes
perfectly intelligible, for it suggests that the assent
of the States which are to enter into the proposed
confederation will be applied for, and that they
cannot be regarded as definitively engaged by ar
rangements in which they have hitherto had no
share.
Admitting, therefore, in conformity with the
opinion of a great number of persons, that ther*
will be co Congress, and that Europe wiil cot be
called on to give an opinion on the bases adopted
at Villafranca, there still remain a great number of
questions to be solved between Austria aud brauce
ca the one hand, and certain Italian sovereigns on
the other. Hut that is a work which the rest ot
Europe, if such be their pleasure, may very proper
ly leave to the parties who signed the prelimi
naries at Villafranca, and to Italy, whose re-organi
zation they have undertaken together “

most intelligent leaders. In 1852 he became Presi
dent ot toe Chamber, and two years later entered
the cab net under ma old adversary, Count Cavour.
Ti e elect ion m 1857 showed that he stood very h gh
in puolic esteem.
L* MBAKbY.—A letter from Valeggio gives a few
addi i ui- detail* (x>ncerning the interview of ihe
tv. K nperore at Villaftanca It anye :
“When the Sovereigns were about to enter the
hxu-e l‘:e X bie Guards were ranged on the rig ht
ui the vei. -buJe, end the Cent Gardes on the left.
The E (<per-T Franc.s Joceph insisted on the Emp
peror Napoleon entering first.
The Emperor invtted Francis Joseph to break
fast but tlie latter begged to be excused, as he bad
breakfasted before setting out. ‘ihe two Emperois
iheu entered the pitting ro. m alone. Their Majes
ties tat down at opposite sides of the table. The
Linperor Napoleon is id cn ihe table a few cigarettes
in a*i envelope, and cflered one to tbe youi g Bove
icign, who declined Although no iLira per on
heard a word ot what passed at this inter\ tew, I
can .*tate that they tome times conversed in Italian,
but more frequently in German ; not a word was
written down.
Luing the conversation the Emperor Napoleon,
as if mecbanicaily, picked to pieces .some of the
flowers pieced in a vase before him. On issuing
irom the house the Emperor Napoleon converted
an instant with Baron Hess, while Francis Joseph
spoke with Marshal Vaih'iut. Their Majesties then
briefly inspected their escorts. The Emperor of
Austria wae so struck with the uniform and bearing
of the C'-nl Garden and Guides that he openly ex
pressed his admiration. He also whether
ihc-e soldiers formed part of the Imperial Guard.”
Another account says :
Some little private infoimation relative to the in
terview of ‘.he two Emperors has this morning been
ac quired. Exactly at nine in the morning ot the
11 a the Emperor Francis Joseph reached Vilia
traucu, v/h -re he was received by the Emperor of
the French with great apparent kindness, and even
a . a of deference. The two mor.arcfcs took break
l'-itt, at.d remained together until live in the after
noon, and it would appear that they settled the bases
lo* th*i preliminaries ol peace before they parted.
In military circles it ie sta*ed that Louis Napoleon
showed certain documents to the Emperor of Aus
tria which removed any doubt he might have felt
about the necessity for sacrificing Lombardy, “ihe
cue document,” says my informant, “ was a Fruaeo
Anglo Russian peace project, which was baeed on
tie cession of Venetia a-* well as L an bard y, ana
th other was a despatch in which Prussia expressed
her resolve not to draw tbe sword in defence of any
pari ot the. Austrian possesions in Italy.”
It wa ■ agreed that the Pope should ne the Presi
dent of the Confederation, and tbe Emperor Francis
Joseph promised to do all in bis'power to persuade
his Holiness to agree to the secularization of the
domains of the Church. This last piece of informa
tion may appear apocryphal, but it was acquired at
au excellent source, and doub less will prove to be
correc* In 1851, it wes.weil known at Rome that
Louis Napoleon had formed a plan for a confedera
tion ol .the Italian States, and one or two of its
principal features are still prese_t to my memory.
Then, us now, the Pope was to be Prtsident of tbe
Italian Confederation, but the Executive power
was lo ho iu the hands ot Sardinia. The idea of the
secularization of the dominions of the Church is
new to none of the powers. It appears to me that
Austria has reasou to congratulate herself on being
able to obtam peace on eu< h terms ; but the nation,
and more particularly ihe military part of it, is
extremely o s-aTitficd with the resulte c-f the Villa
franca conference. Information has been received
from Ver ms that both cflioenqand ine: are greatly
depressed, ap they had confidently expected soon to
have au opportunity of balancing accounts with
the A lies Had the war lasted till the fall of the
year, it io poe. ibie, and even probable, that the
Emperor would have lust Venotia as well as Lom
bardy, but it is an undeniable fact that the Austrian
army hai almcat recovered its original atrength
and confidence. During ihe first few days after the
bat tle ot SSolferino the troops were much cast down,
but they recovi red their spirits when some of their
commanders were removed and powerful reinforce
ments arrived iu tbe camp.
MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR CF AUSTRIA.
The following is a translation of the Manifesto of
the Emperor of Aus ria :
When all concessions that were allowable, and
Compatible with the dignity of the crown ana tbe
bom r and welfare of the couutry, have been ex
hausted, at and when all attempts at a pacific arrange
ment have miscarried, There is no room for choice,
and what cannot be avoid-a becomes a duty.
IVis duly place and me under tbe stern necessity of
demanding from my people new and paintul sacri
fic-*s, in order to place in a state ot defence their
most hi red interests. My faithful people have re
sponded to my appeal; they have pressed forward
unanimously in defence of the throne, and they
have made the sacrifices of every kind demanded
by circumstances with an eegermsj which merits
my gratitude—which augments, if possible, the
profound hfiection which 1 feel for them—and which
was auapted to inspire the assurance that the just
Ctuee in defence of which my brave armies went
to) ih w ith enthusiasm to the contest would be vic
torious.
Ut.bapp ly the re.uk has not corresponded with
the general effort, and the fortune ot war has not
been favorable to us.
The valiant army of Austria has in this instance
again given proofs of its tried heroism and its in
comparable perseverance e brilliant that it has
commanded the admiration of ail, even of its ene
mies I e.xper.ence a legitimate pride iu being the
chief of such an army, and the country ought to
feel iuoebttd to it for having manifes ed vigorously,
in all its purity, the honor of the Austrian tlag.
It is not led < perfectly established that our ene
mies, in spite ot the greatest efforts, io spite of the
superior forces which they had so a long period
beeu preparing for the conflict, have been able,
even by making the greatest sacrifices, to obtain
only ad van, ages, not a decisive victory ; while the
Austrian army, shll animated by the same ardor,
and full of the same courage,maintained a position,
the possession of which left perhaps a possibility of
recovering from the enemy ail the advantages that
he had gained But for th s purpose it would have
been necessary to make new sacrifices, which cer
tainly would not have been le3s bloody than those
which have been made already, and w hich have
deeply afflicted my heart.
Under these conditions it was my duty as a sove
reign to lake into serious consideration the proposi
tions of peace wbiv-.h had been made lo me. The
c nsequenoes of this continuance of the war would
have been so much the heavier, because I ehould
have been cb'iged to demand from the faithful
people of my dominions new sacrifices of blood and
f n o.>e\ much more considerable even than those
which had been made up to that time. And, not
withs.auding, success would have remained doubt
ful, since 1 Lave been so bitterly deceived in my
well founded hi pes that this contest not having
been entered into for the defence of the rights of
Austria only, I should not be left alone in it.
Jn spite of the ardent sympathy worthy of ac
knowledgment which the justice of our cause
inspired, for the most part, iu the governments and
peoples of Germany, our natural allies, moat an
cient allies, have obstinately refused to recognise
the great importance ot the grand question of the
day. Consequently Austria would have beeu
obliged all a one to face the events which were
being prepared for, and which every day might
have rendered more grave.
The honor of Austria coming intact out of this
war, thanks to the heroic efforts of her valiant army,
I have resolved, yielding to political eousiaeratione,
to make a sacrifice for the re-establishment of peace,
and to ae.ep: the preliminaries which ought to lead
to its conclusion ; for 1 have acquired the convic
tion that I should obtain, in any event, conditions
I S3 unfavorable in coming to a direct understand
ing w;th the Emperor of the French, without the
bleuairg ot any third party whatsoever, than in
causing to participate in the negotiations the three
great rowers which have taken to part iu the strug
gle. Unhappily I have beeu unable to escape the
repara ion from the rest cf the empire of the greater
part o: Lombardy. Ua the other band, it must be
agreeable to :ny neart to see the blessings ot peace
assured tresh to my beloved people, and these bles
sings ar£ doubly precious to me, because they wiil
give me the necessary leisure sot bestowing hence
forth, withoyt detraction, all my attention and ao
licitude on the fruitful ta?k that i propose to accom
plish—that is to say, to found in a durable manner
the internal well-being and the external power of
Austria, by the happy development of her moral
and material forces, and by amekorations conform
able to the spirit of the time iu legislation and ad
ministration. As in these days of eerious trials and
sacrifices, my people have shown themselves faith
ful to my person, so now by the confidence with
which they respond to me they will aid in accom
plishing works of peace, and in attaining the reali
zation of my benevolent intentions.
As chief oi the army, I cave already expressed to
it, in a spec'a’ o;der of the day, my acknowledge
m- nts of its bravery. To-day 1 renew the expression
of tbe.se sentiments. Welle I speak io my people 1
*i ank those of their children who have fought for
G<d. rheir Emperor, and their country. I thank
item for the heroism of which they have given
proof, ana i shall always remember with griet those
of our brave companions in arms who have not,
alas ! returned from the combat

Desenzaso, July 13—Teat an armistice should be
used by the power which asked it for the op-ning of
< egi tiatioi s seemed likewise as natural as that the
Emperor Nape-Icon should be inclined to listen to
these overtures It was only another instance of
La: exTcrdinary luck * hich has accompanied him
all through hi- career, that after a short campaign
Austria should be so br ken down as to be ready to
peace. The acknowledged enormous
m Le battle of So.ttrino, and the incontestable
scL'teriority of the allied armies, gave a good deal
of probability to such readiness, which, at the same
rime afforded the Emperor Napoleon an occasion
to show the world hie moderation.
Hat all tuese explanation* tell to the ground be
fore ihe conditions which have been laid down tor
the lulure oreanizalicn ol Italy. Evtryone felt
there must La\eb.ens me agency behitd which
we coulc cot see Iron) ‘he camp. The

t-l the contention was that \ . r. ce should remain to
Austr a, and it.at tbe intle Princes Ihe ea'eliteeef

litve the conditions, and in vain was recourse bad
to at, kit.de ot sage explanations ; every one felt
the key to sock an enigma most lie elsewhere.
It was not long belore it was found It is cow
no looter a mystery. I beiieve that the result was
I mainly due to the attitude taken up by Prussia
al :er t e 6a:t! of Solferino. It was the nUtmatum
winch Prussia brought forward, and which she sup
ported with all her own weight and that of the
German Confederation. From what we hear,

of Austria to Verona, the PruEEian Minister Pleni
potentiary appealed at tbe Austrian head quarter?,
and promised, in the came of his Government and
the German Confederation, armed support to Aus
tria if the conditions agreed to by the Emperor cf
Austria were not accepted by France. That is, we
ue r e, wi’lrut suspecting it here, on the eve of a
g-neral war, had not tbe Emperor Napoleon’s mode
ict oq averted it at the last moment.
You can scarcely imagine what an impression this
p : ece of news has produced on the French army.—
There is no army in tbe world in which the feeling
of national honor, or <f you like to call it vanity, is
stronger than in the French army. It is the spring
which imparts *o it its wonderful dash and ia?
powerful m the lest joined soldier as in the class of
officer.-; it pervades tbe whole army from fi at to
last, and never wis it more positive than a f this
moment, when, with the r ecollection of the Crimean
r ampaign still fresh iu the mind of the soldier, the
French army broke tbe power of Austria in one
short month. The two greatest military Powers cf
the Continent vanquished one alter anotner in less
than five years’apace, it felt itaeif invinci ole, and
at this moment it l as to put a stop to ita victorious
career, because Prussia, of all powers, comes for
ward hi and ?t rea’ens
In vain do you reason that it was not tbe interest
of France to embark in a general war, in vain are
they told ’bat the object of the war is obtained; the
shadow of Prussia cannot be effaced from before
thtir eyes. It is ae if'after so many victories they
wt-re reluming to France defeated.
No doubt, the Emperor gave the greatest proof
he c *uld of the sincerity of his intentions, and cf
his moderation in the career of victory ; but no one
except himself wouid dare to give* it, such is the
confidence of tbe soldier iu him aud his star.
Berlin, July 18—The Prussian Gazette pub
lishes a leading article in defence of the attitude
taken by Prussia during tbe last few months, and
endeavors to prove that its policy has prevented an
universal war. Tbe article lays the chief strtss
upon the fact that a real and substantial basis lor
joining in war was wanting. It goes on thus :
Prussia can draw her sword for German and
Prose an interests, but not for maintaining or re
establishing a state of affairs in Italy which Austria
herself has recognized as not maintainable ; nor for
sustaining isola’ed articles of the Treaties of 1815
(nicht fur FestseUung einzelnen Bestimmungen der
Vcrtrage von 1815).
The article further says :
The proposals for mediation made by Prussia
were far more favorable than the preliminaries of
peace which have now been agreed upon.
The article concludes :
Prussia has no occasion to be dissatisfied with the
unexpected turn matters have taken. While dis
continuing her military measures ehe awaits the
farther development of affairs with calmness.
ADDRESS CE THE EMPESOR OF FRANCE.
Paris, July 20. —The Moniteur contains the fol
lowing :
“Yesterday eveniag tbe Emperor received the
great bodies of the State, the Presidents of which,
A. Tropling, Count de Morn, and M. Baroche, ad
dressed congratulatory speeches to His Majesty.—
The Emperor thanked them for their devotion, and
th6n explained the reasons for his conduct during
the great events. He said :
“Arrived beneath the walla of Verona, the struggle
was inevitably about to change its nature as well in
a military as a political aspect. Obliged to attack
the enemy in front who was entrenched behind
great fortresses, and protected on the flank by the
neutrality of the surroundirg territory, and about
to b gin a long and barren war, I found myself in
the face of Europe in arms ready to” dispute our
successes or aggravate our reverses. Nevertheless
the difficulty of the enterprise would not have
shaken my resolution if the means had not been out
of proportion to the results to be expected.
“It vrae necessary to crush bodily the obstacles
opposed and thin to accept a conflict on the Rhine
a? well as on the Adige. It was necessary to for
tify ourselves openly with the concurrence of revo
lution. It was necessary to goon shedding precious
blood, “and at last ri. j k that, which a sovereign
should only stake for tbe independence of hie coun
try. If I have stopped, it was neither through
weariness or exhaustion, nor through abandoning
the noble cause which I desired to eerve, but the
interest of France. I felt great reluctance to put
reins upon the ardor of our soldiers, to retrench
from my programme the territory from the Mincio
to the Adriatic, and to see vanish from honest hearts
noble delusions and patriotic hopte. In order to
save the indepenence of Italy I made war against
toe mind of Europe, aud as soon as the destiny of
my country might be endangered, I made peace
Our efforts and our sacrifices, have they been mere
ly lost ? No—we have a right to be proud of this
campaign, \flfe have vanquished an army nume
rous ; brave aud well organized. Piedmont has
been deivtred from invasion; her frontieis have
been extended to the Mincio. The idea of au Italian
nationality has been admitted by those who com
batted it most. All the Sovereigns oi the Peniusu
iar comprehend the wants of salutary reforms.—
Thus after giving anew proof of the military pow
er of France, the peace concluded will be prolific oi’
happy results. Tne future will every day reveal
additional cause for the happiness of Italy, the in
fluence ot France, and the tranquility of Europe.”

Quebec, July 30.—The papera by the Anglo-
Saxon furnish the following additional items :
THE TREATY OF PFACE.
Le Nord sayp the preliminary treaty of peace,
although arranged in principle at Villafranca, will
be definitely drawn up at Zurich, and will tnen be
officially communicated to the courts of Europe,
the adhesion of these courts being indispensable to
the oiganic and international stipulations which form
part of the public law of Europe.
The Vienna correspondent of tbe London Times
says that tue representatives of Austria, France aud
Sardinia will soon meet at Zurich to conclude the
treaty of peace. There will be no Congress, as
the two Emperors have agreed to settle their dif
ferences without the interventicn of the neutral
powers.
The London Post’s Paris correspondent tele
graphs on the 18tb, as follows :
“ A conference to eettle the affairs of Italy has
just been arranged at St. Cloud, and the early part
of next month is spoken of as the time at which ihe
representatives of tue parties interested will as
eemble, but the place of their doing so is not yet
mentioned.” $>
The English journals continued to ridicule the
teiaiß or peace, and even the London Post, Lord
Palmerston’s organ, had suddenly commenced an
attac k upon the proceedings at Villafranca.
ihe Paris correspondent of the Daily News, after
caretol inquiry, affirms that the terms ol the pease
have not only occasioned a feeling of disappoint
ment and even of indignation among all those who
took a sincere interest in the object of the war, but
have very seriously damaged aud lowered the Em
peror ia tne opinion of all classes of society.
By the Turin correspondent of the Daily News
tbe Piedmontese are described as being a prey to
grief and stupor in consequence of the peace, which
leaves Sardinia without a tortified frontier.
The Opinion of Turin does not conceal the dis
satisfaction with which it sees Venice remaiu in
the hands of Austria. It attributes Count Cavour’s ;
resignation to the iueufiicienov of the terms of peace. I

The fnuiw of Au*triuu Drfeni.
Mr. Raymond, in hie last letter to the New Y’ork
Times , attributes tbe defeat of the Austrians at
Solfermo to bad gem ralship:
It ie perfectly evident, moreover, that some in
explicable cause paral} zee tbe Austrian army and
Dlacea it substantially at the mercy of tbe Allies
Its constant successive defeats are perfectly uuac
countab'e upon any ordinary hypothesis of military
operations. Its forces are very large and well ap
pointed ; ita generals are men of ability, experience
and unquestioned ecu tag©, its arlillery is nume
rous and well handled ; its cavalry is acknowledged
to be the best in Europe; its soidieis are brave,
firm and loyal, and its positions have in nearly
every case been selected With skill and admirable
military judgment. Yet in every case all this has
ava led them nothing. Promising as their plans
might be, when the decisive moment came, some
thing happened to thwart them all. Just when
everybody expected them to march upon Turin
and hold the Piedmontese capital, they halted, and
then commenced the retreat, which, up to this time,
has not been ariested. At Msgenta they held a
very strong position,—fought well, but part of their
forces were too far away to be brought into action,
and they were beaten. Aud at Solferino they had
& position, which, I have the authority of a staff
oftioer in the P.eumontese army for saying—s.ol)o
men ought to have held against ten times iheir
number, —or, in fact, against aDy power that could
have been brought to bear upon them. They de
fended it vigorously,—fought well, —inflicted upon
tbe French for far heavier losses toan they them
selves sustained —and withdrew while more than a
and zed heavy batteries of their artillery had remain
ed silent from the beginning, and while masses of
their infantry still stoo unengaged.
At 1 o’clock they had actually beaten the Pied
montese, and if what seems to have been their
original plan had been carried out and they had at
that moment thrown the whole ot their disposable
force upon the French, they could scarcely have
failed to break them, and win tbe day. Several
times, during the heat cf the battle, McMahon’s
whole flank were exposed to them—yet they suffer
ed themselves to be deterred from assailing it by
French light cavalry, and especially by a body of
Chasseurs o’Atrique, under Capt. Bmaparte—who
mancoiuvrea for hours in so masterly a manner as
actually to menace the enemy into an inactivity
fatal to themselves Toeir artillery completely
swept the sides of the hills round Solferino—and
twice they actually drove back the French, who
attempted to storm the heights. They were strong
ly posted iu the stone houses and narrow streets,
and in the cemetery had high, strorg, thick walls,
which protected them against the French fire, and
gave them au immense advantage over them.
How it happened that with such odds in tbeir
favor, they should have been beaten, many able
military critics have been puzzled to explain. The
French assault was prompt, vigorous and wonder
iuliy impetuous; aud the Emperor Napoleon, by
the rapid energy which he brought up his scattered
forces,the moment he paw a battle was impending,
(for up to sunrise of that day he had no expectation
of a general engagement,) reflect? upou him the
highest possible credit as a commander and a
general.
But in spite of all this, there must be some ele
ment of internal weaknees in the Austrian camp ;
and from ah I can learn, from the facts that come
out, and the hints and surmises that fl iat iu the at
mosphere, I have very little doubt that it is to be
fouud in tbe incompeteucy and vacillating presump
tion of the Emperor himself. He is a young man,
without military experience, and of only theoretic
m litary knowledge, and ambitious to a degree
which makes him absurdly jealous of the Generals
by whom be is surrounded, whose advice he cou
otautly rtj-rcts, and whose well laid plans he con
stantly counteracts at the critical moment. Beiore
ne joined his army, he kept up incessant telegraphic
communication with head-quarters from Vienna,
aud did not hesitate, even at that distance, to over
rule his ablest Generals in the field. Gen. Gyulai
has been disgraced for the loss of Magenta, and
private accounts represent him as gloomy, melan
choly, aud apparently overwhelmed by the ruin of
his professional chaiacter; jet he has friei ds who
say that if the time ever comes when he can place
tbe responsibility where it belongs, he will stand
acquitted.
Three distinguished Generals—C am Gallas,Prince
Lichtenstein, and Zadewitz—are said to have
thrown up their commands, since Solfermo : —this
could only have happened under the pressure of
some very grave and imperative necessity. On
the field of Solferino Francis Joseph is said lo have
addressed an angry reproof to one of his oldest
Generals—who instantly broke hie sword across his
knee and threw it at his feet; the Emperor burst
into tears and held out his hands, begging pardon
for the offence he had given. All these things, with
many others of the same kind taat might be men
tioned, indicate a state of complete demoralization
in the higher ranks ot the Austrian army; and
nothing can be more fatal than such a state ot things
to the vigorous and successful prosecution of a war.
The Allies, on the contrary, are completely united.
The King, Victor Emanuel, with admirable judg
ment, accepts the place simply of General of a
corps d’armee, aud gives to Napoleon the supreme
command Oi the whole allied armies, and tbe most
perfect harmony prevails in every department of
the combined force.

Lightning Rods.— Much was said aud written
last year upon the subject of lightning rods, and
more doubts were expreesed respecting their pro
tective power than have been uttered since the
days of Franklin. It is not our purpose <o write a
series of artic.es or even to trouble the reader with
oue long article, believing* as we do, that a few
words cf advice will suffice better than a treatise.
But few have either leisure $r opportunity to mas
ter the subject in a manner to enable them to
judge of its philosophy or to scrutinize the opin
ions, of those who give it tbeir attention. We pro
pose pimply to make two or three plain assertions,
btt--ed upon science, and do not hesitate to recora
mend their practical application to all who seek for
safety by protecting their buildings. Let those
who prefer it doubt and speculate ; but we muet
regard it an indication of indifference which cannot
be justified. We recommend a reasonable belief
and a corresponding action. That a properly con
structed lightning rod, rightly adjusted to the size
aud shape of a buildiDg, is the source of safety du
ring thunderstorms there can be no doubt. We
take science as it stands, preferring to rest upon
well ascertained truths, established by the long and
patient examination of distinguished minds, than
upon the assumptions of the superficial or of the
ignorant.
We will clcse by quoting an extract from a letter
of Prof. Olmstead to Mr. Capen. of this city, in 1843,
published in the Massachusetts Ploughman in 1853
Mr. Olmstead was a safe adviser
“1. The diameter of the rod which is deemed
beet on all accouuts is three-fourths of an inch.
“ 2. A rod is held to aflord protection over a cir
cular space whose radius is equal to twice the height
of the rod above the higheet part of the building,
(usually the ridge;) thus a rod rising fifteen feet
above the ridge will protect a space every way of
thirty feet.
“3. A single point tipped with platina I believe to
be as good a termination as any, and is the kind
generally employed in France and Continental
Europe. Here we more generally employ foree
branches treble gilt; but I think it is much a mat
ter cf taste. Both b -ve always stood the test of ex
perience when ail other things were right.
“4. Iron is selected for its cheapness. Copper is
a better conductor, but costly. Iron, when painted
black, either with lampblack or black lead, may, I
think, be confided in.
“ The most important circumstances of a light
ning rod are these two: Ilia surface should be
continuous, without rinks or hooks, with close joints.
2. It should descend into the ground to the depth of
permanent moisture. This will vary with tbe soil.
It should be never less than six feet The rod
should branch off at the lowest extremity in three
roots, and the part below the ground should be sur
rounded with well burnt-charcoal. This wiil afford
a better conductor than ordinary eartn, will keep
moist, and tend to preserve the iron from rusting.”

The Adulteration or Food.— The British and
Foreign Chirurgical Review endeavors to dissipate
some of the anxiety that has lately been produced, in
relatiun to the alleged adulteration ot food. The
writer contends that the so-called adulteration is, as
it always has been, generally a dilution and not an
adulteration. The tact usually is, it says, that the
article U only weakened, by being mixed with a
harmieea compound, and not chemically changed,
or even rendered noxious by the introducrion of
injurious substances. Many a tavern keeper, for
instance, who daily waters hie beer, would hesitate
to put strychnine into it, or cocculoa indicus. Many
a milkman who helps out the yield of his dairy with
the pump, would not, at any price, mix delete
rious matter with what he sells. Bakers often use
alum in making bread. Bat, says the Review, ‘‘by
the u-se of alum a light, friable bread can be made
from inferior flour, which, without it, would form a
tough, indigestible substance ” Candles, when
manufactuied by reputable firms, are not colored,
it asserts with injurious matter; “and surely,” it
adds, “we may have our sugar plums colored, if
it pleases the eye.” Even wnen there is, critically
speaking, an adulteration, the remedy, according
to the Review, is, in nicßt cases, in tbe hands of
the public. Scientific men concede that the best
way to determine whether bread is good or bad is by
the taste. No chemical admixture can make nasty
butter pass for sweet; and as for the carrots, with
which bu.ter is often colored, they, at least are not
hurtful. Everybody in a great city knows when his
milk is watered. Bad wine betrays itself very soon
to ihe stomach, if not immediately to the palate.
The cry against the poison >u- character of manu
factured brandv is not always found-d on truth, tor
more fictitious Bordeaux is made by pumping a
pipe of the Fencb article into a dozen pipes of
common spinls than by the chemical ad r ixtures of
which we hear so much; and the beverage thus
produced, though doubriees unhealthy en >ugh, is
not poisonous encugh, perse, any more than real
Martel or Otard. Vinegar made out of acids, or
pickles, improperly greened, can be detected in a
moment by any good housewife. All this is very
well, as far as it goes, but we fear, nevertbelece,
that very few of the articles that we eat or drink,
and which are capable of adulteration, have not
been weakened or vitiated. The practice has
greatly increased of late years, and often with dan
gerous consequences to the community.^ —Baltimore

Primary Meeting*.
Major John X. Smith, (of the Militia,) published a
card in the Galena Banner, calling a county Con
vention to nominate candidates for Congress and
the State Legislature. Toe Galena Benner is, or
was, a weekly paper, pubiu-hed somewhere out
West, on the outskirts us civilization. This was
twenty years ago, and for aught we kuow to the
contrary, the Banner may have grown into a mam
moth daily, with two or three editions per diem, a
column or two of “Telegrams,” aud a monthly sup
pfoment. Tbe particular Galena may be a coneid
erabie metropolis by this time, and Major Smith
may be one ot the few avni able candidates for the
Presideucj’ in 1860. In 1830, uowever, the Banner
was a sm&fi sheet, and the Major a small though an
enterprising man, unknown to fame. Galena w*as a
city, containing a printing office, a blacksmith hop,
a tavern, a store, and a saw mill The private his
tory of the Conventioß, indiscreetly detailed by au
eye witness was as follows : There were present
Mej >r J. X. Smiib, Mr. Washington Napoleon
Thompson, a bottle of eld rye, a pitchei of water,
and two tumblers. Mr. Thompson was the Major’s
brothsr*in-law. The meeiiog was called to order
aud Major Smith to the cha r Mr. Thompson was
unanimously appointed Secretary. The Conven
tion took a drink and proceeded to business. The
next week’© istue ot the Banner gave au entire col
umn to the description of tbe “large aud enthueias
tic meeting of the citizens of Washington county,”
and pub:i bed the nine resolutions of which the
body was delivered. Tbe fiist seven of these reso
lutions discoursed about matters and things in gen
eral, and about the immutable, unconquerable and
unterrifiable naturq of Democratic principles In
particular. They began wita our Revolutionary
sires and General Washington, and ended with the
immortal Jefferson. The eighth rt solved that Ma
jor John X, Smith was the unanimous choice of that
Convention to represent that district iu Congress
The ninth resolved that Washington Napoleon
Thompson was the only living mao who could save
the county from ruin by serving a term in the State
Legislature.
This was a regular primary meeting, aud in all
esseutials was exactly like all other primary meet
ings that have been held from that day to the pres
ent. It ambitious Majors do not always take the
chair, they are at least “a power behind the throne,”
aud never let go the wires It is said that a memo
rial does not amount to anyibicg, because anybody
can get any desired number ot signatures to any
sort ot a memorial. Nothing is necessary but in
dustry aud brass. So the things that are “Resolved”
in primary meetings do not indicate anything be
youd the tfirontery of the ciudidates selected.—
Some nominations cost only a few’ drinks of bad
liquor ; others cost a rouud sum in hard dollars. But
the fitness of the candidate is a thing never discuss
ed and perhaps never thought of in the preliminary
meetings. The moral chaiacter of a rcau who is to
represent the tenth part of a State in Congress, is a
thing t io sacred to be spoken of in a public assem
blage. He may boa bull, a drunkard, a Sabbath
breaker and an Infidel, but no whit les? a good
representative. It does not make the case any better,
either, to admit that the persons who ordinarily
attend these meetings are not troubled with much
unnecessary refinement. It is a bu?uing shame that
our law makers should be even ostensibly selected
by men of the lowest class of society. Is the power
really iu their bands l Have our institutions become
so thoroughly democratic that no decent man can
have influence?
Whether the thing ia attractive or not, it seems
clear enough that it is the duty ot good men to in
terfere a little iu these matters. If old party lines
are still to be drawn, and we are to have none but
candidates of the right faith on either side, a* least
let us insist that honorable men shall be*nomiuated.
It the polls are to be in possession of rowdy associa
tions belonging to, or lather owning, either party,
let us ac least see that all the tickets contain the
names of respectable men. If the good of the
Commonwealth ia really • eeond to the success of a
party, let us insist that the dear party is not dam
aged by selecting honest representatives. If we
must have primary meetings, lot us attend them.
It may be that we can select -onie better presiding
officer than Major John X. Perhaps we can slip iu
a resoiution or two that was not cut and dried by
the expectant candidate. Aud who knows that we
may not be able, by elraightfoi w r ard, honest effort,
for which the wire pullers are not prepared to secure
the nomination ol efficient and reliable men ? Ihe
lottery dealers, the Sabbath l quor men, and other
disregarded ot law’ and morals, confidently expect
to manage the next State Legislature. Suppose
those of us who are conscious of the possession of
souls spoil their game, by sending men to Annapolis
who cannot be bribed ? We can doit if we choose,
but in order to do it we may rely uoon it that one
of tw'o things w 11 be necessary : Either repudiate
the party nominations altogether, or help to nomi
nate by attending and acting in the primary meet
ings.—Halt American
A True mid YYeipiiiy Bill.
Col. George W. Gayle, a diatiuguifjhed Demo
ciatic politician of Alabama, latterly known as an
ardent Southern Rights man, regards the defeat
and disruption of the Rational Democratic party as
the first and indispensable step tj be taken towards
the securing of the rights of the South, lie is there
fore laboriug for the defeat of that party, and in a
late letter makes the following strong counts in his
indictment against it: — Col. Enq'r.
This is tho condition of the Southern people now—
divided ami distracted by the Democratic party.
What remedy have we but to break down that
party by all lawful means, and remove it from our
great pathway, as a loathsome nuisance, until the
slavery question is settled ?
But, before one portion of a common people
makes hostile movements towards another, they
should inquire whether that movement is just. Al
though 1 have always been a Democrat, and, as
such, for three years did good service in Mobile, I
shall pray for the speedy overthrow of that party,
lor the following reasons :
1. It refuses to lay down its good old party name,
f -r the present, and unite with the rest of the South
ern people to protect the institution of slavery.
2. Asa Southern party organization it gives no
aid to slavery by its cardinal di c rines of opposi
tion to a national bank, a tariff, or iuternal improve
ments, and refuses to uisband for the “union of the
South for the sake of the South.”
3. At a national party organization, it has and
holds no principle in common, and is held together
by no ties but a love of power and spoils. The wing
ot that party north of Mason and Mixon’s line, is
for a bank, tariff and internal improvements, and
against the institution of slavery; and he wing
south of that line is against a bank, tariff and iu
ternal improvements, and for the institution of
slavery. As fcuch a party then, they are willing to
see the South wr -eked and ruined, to revel in pow
er, aud eLjoy the office patronage of the President
This is so plain that a mau may run and read it.
4. Asa national organization, held together for
power and spoils, they are the Union party, and as
long as they can hold power they will continue to
be so. The link which holds the Northern and
Southern wiugs together will be inseparable, be
cause the Democracy North are for “the Union as
the paramou: tgood,” and they hold the power of
the National Democratic paity.
5. Asa national organization, the Southern wing
is powerless upon the questions of bank, tariff, in
ternal improvements and slavery, because the
Northern wing have the eontrohng power, and
and Ifer with the South on all these questions. There
are nineteen Free States and fourteen Slave States,
a fact rarely thought of by the politicians of the
day, and one imposing enough to cite us to unceas
ing vigilance.
6 Asa nati( nal organization, it is dangerous to
the South and her institutions at the preseut time ;
because, to sustain a Democratic President and his
Northern party, it will sacrifice the best interests of
the South, as has been made manifest by the pas
sage of the accursed and abominable Conference
Bill, for which our iate representative James A.
Stallworth voted, and which be seeks to maintain
as a measure of advantage to us. No better proof
can establish this objection than the following letter
from Gen. Hendereou, of Texas, late a Senator of
the United States :
Philadelphia. May 2,1859.
Major John Marshall :
‘'Dear Sir-. I left Washington City on day be
fore yesterday evening, just after the final passage
of the Kansas Compromise Bill. I did not vote on
the bill al its passage * * On the morning of
the day the bill finally passed, the President sent
for me, and made such an earnest and strong appeal
to me to vote for the bill, and aid in saving his
Administration and the Democratic party at the
North, aa to induce me to leave the Senate Cham
ber, ai.d not vote at all; as I would have felt bound
to vo:e against the bill, if I had voted. * * We
are an unfortunate people; and when we will be
able to present the question in a shape to unite the
majority of our people in standing by their rights,
is hard to foresee.
Yours, very truly,
Henderson.”
These objections might be multiplied, and X would
finish the catalogue if I had more leisure. They
are enough to justify a verdict against the Demo
cratic party, both national and sectional, as an in
cubus upon the rights of the South, deserving to
be crushed, in the absence of atonement and a de
sire to disband.
Mitchell on Naturalisation. —John Mitch
ell, editor of the Southern Citizen, 5s compelled to
acknowledge that the Democratic Administration
ha 6 practically admitted and illustrated the justice
of the opposition of the most proscriptive Know
Nothings to foreigners. The course of the Admin
istration he regard.-* as an admission that naturalized
foreigners claiming full citizenehip here do owe alle
giance to the monarchs and ins;ituticns which they
left behind in their native land, and that they are
therefore not exclusive American cit zens, and
should not “rule America ” He makfs a handsome
apology to the American party for his bitter assaults
upon them heretofore—rightly conceding that they
were correct in their eAimate of foreign influence,
it foreigueie naturalized and voting here do indeed,
as ruled by the Administration, owe a divided al
legiance to the United States and their native land.
We copy this apology, wi'h the remark that itwa3
made after the latest and amended proclamation of
the views of the Administration :—Columbus En
quirer.
“It gives us no pleasure, God knows, to harp on
this ma terof naturalization. It is no great triumph
for us to be compelled to acknowledge that the
Know Nothings were right all the time, and to
retract w hatever we may have heretofore eaid
against that philosophical body of men. Our lan
guage in dealing with the American Party (that
title can no longer be denied them) has been some
times harsh and bitter ; we take it back ; cat it
up ; though it goes against the stomach ; and must
digest it as best we may at our leisure.
“Nothing can be plainer than that if a foreign
immigrant, notwithstanding his ‘naturalization/
continues to owe—bona fide to owe—allegiance, or
military service, o civil service, or any other ser
vice, duty oromigation to any sovereign, be is not
fit to be an American citizen ; ought not to be en
trusted with a vote ; still less with an cfiice ; and
can not become, even in fourteen years, or twenty
one y-ars, a full and true American. We request
the Americas party then—the only rational and
consistent Americana we are aware cf—to accept
our respectful apologies ”
Counterfeits.— We were shown, yesterday, a
counterfeit Six dollar bill on the Farmer s Bank of
North Carolina, recently passed off upon one of our
citiz-ns. In conet qaence of its neatnese, and the
probability that otuers may be made victims, we
regard it necessary to caution the public against
the spurious bill.
The bill is dated 21*t Julv, 1853 ; No. 3741 ; made
payab e at Greeneooro, and purports to have been
signed by W. W. Griffin, Cashier, and Jos H.
Poole, Pres’t. On the lower left hand earner, the
Bust of General Z. Tayior will be found, Dot well
executed. On the right under corner, a female fig
ore with a sheaf and reap hook appears clumsy
when placed in comparison w ith the genuine ; ana
on the left upper corner of the bill, the front wheels
of the Eugine do not touch the track. Otherwise
the counterfeit is a good one, and may be readily
disposed of as a genuine bill.
The Salisbury Banner, referring to a counterfeit
on the Bank of Newbern, recently put in circula
iation, remarks : 4 We have been shewn what is
called a spurious ten dollar bill, purpuring to be on
the Merchant e Bank of Newbern. We learn that
there is a number of such bilis in the hands of dif
ferent business men in this town, imposed upon
them, of course, by some fancy financier
[Charlotte tJV C.) Bulletin.
Destructive Fire in Oxford, N. C.— We learn
through the Newbern DoiUt that a large tobacco
factory was destroyed by fire in the town of Ox
ford, N. C , ou Sunday last It was owned by
Messrs King bury & Cos., and their loss is supposed
to be abo t $325,U00. The factory was insured for
$6,000. There were some 125,000 pounds of tobac
co in the building, besides one hundred boxes of
their manufactured tobaooo. It was the work of
an incendiary.
The Navajo Indian*.
The Navajos (pronounced Xav-a-hoes) are among
the wildest aud most warlike, and yet intelligent of
the wild tribes of New Mexico. They are nomadic
in their habits of life ; and although they are a
numerous and powerful aud wealthy body, and
agriculturists and manufacturers to the exte tcl
their own wants, they are without government,
aDd df s'itute of the arts and arrangement? of civi
lized life. They nave no Chief, hereditary or
elected ; and wealth, or of horses and
sheep, constitutes the only claim to whatever pow
er one may possess over another, and enables any
one successfully to arrogate to himself a share of
influence and control in such councils as may exist
for purposes of war—which is alm*.st the only oc
casion in w hich tbe tribe acts as a united body.
They are a warlike race, always a r variance with
the Capones aud Apaches aud other neighboring
tribe3, and for the half century at least they have
been iu open hostility to tbtdr while neighbors,
whether Mexicans or citizens of the United States
Our GoVernmeut, tbrcugu officers of the army and
Indian agents, have made several treaties with
them ; but there is no responsible head or govern
ment to guarantee the tUifiiiment of a treaty and
they have been made to be immediately violated.
The territory which they inhabit lies in toe western
part of New Mexico, the tributaries of the Rio Sau
Juan, aud between the 35ih and 37th parallels of
north iati ude It is a par: of the couiffry derived
by us from Mexico by the treat j’ of peace of 1848
Tne Navai 8 number from ten to twelve thou
sand. Notwitnstaudmg their waudering habits,
they cultivate the earth to considerable extent; b* t
their implements of agriculture are rude and primi
tive, and entirely of their own construction. They
raise an abundance of corn, wheat, beans, pump
kina, &c , for their own subsistence Tneir main
dependence, however, is upon their flock? and
hervis. They keep sheep in large numbers, and
some cattle. It is estimated that there are at pre
sent among them a million and a quarter of sheep.
The.r flocks are watche constantly, and with great
care. The country is well adapted to sheep ; and
ths Navajo sheep are excellent both for mutton and
wool. The ewes aiso supply the Indiana with milk.
The rams have frequently six horns, aud are never,
we are t Id, without four.
Horses are also kept by the Navajos in large
ouinoers. Some of the richest head-men own from
three to five hundred; aud the whole number owned
by the tnba is believed to be a hundred and twen
ty-five thousand, or twelve or fifteen each for every
man, womau and child in the tribe. These horses
are employed only lor riding from place to place,
aud seem to be valued mainly as evidence of
wealth and consequent distinction.
A stone or clay pot, of their owu manufacture, iu
which their cooking is done, and a butcher-knife,
also of their own manufacture, are all the imple
ments of civilization which the Navajcs possess.
They have no touts or wigwams, aud they live eu
tirely in the open air, although the ground is cov
ered with snow more than half the year. The
clothiDg of the Navajos, which is scanty but com
fortable, is ot woollen, and of their owu manufac
ture. They m ke their own blankets, the better
kinds of which are of a superb quality.
Our informant exhibited to us one of these blank
ets, which he brought uome with him. It is beauti
ful iu texture and colors, and is perfectly water
proof, while it is as soft almost as camel’s hair. The
prevailing color is a rich orimsou, with an intermix
ture ot blue and white, tastefully arranged in figures
which impart to the blanket a rich and beautitul
appearance. These blankets are woven by hand,
the warp being fixed upon stioks fastened upon
trees, and the filling inserted with the fiugerß beaten
together with a wooden implement resembling in
appearence a sword. They are mostly made by
women, one of the tine ones occupying ab ut six
months time in the manufature and in texture and
beauty will vie with best Bay State blankets.—
The process of spinning is as rude as that of weav
ing, the wool being pulled, not sheared, from the
sheep, aud wound upon a sticn. This stick is driven
into the ground, and the wool, without being carded,
is taken from it bet ween the thumb aud finger
twisted upon another small stick to the right size
and consistency. The coloring is done in the wool,
with dyes made from the bark of trees or vegetables
unknown to any but the Indian''; and the colors are
brilliant and permanent. The blanket we saw had
been several times washed, without efleet upon the
original brightness of the color. The common
blankets are coarse and made with less care; but
are warm, strong and durable.
The Navajos are cruel to captives, whom they
murder or subject to slavery. They have many
Mexican peons among them whom they have re
duced to slavery in its worst form.
The Cotton Trade— The Quantity Exported’
—ln spite of the war and individual losses sustain
ed here and there by the more timid holders, the
cotton year of 1858-59 (ending Ist of September
next; will prove one cf the most prosperous aud
remarkable in the history ot the country. The
crop, estimated at 3,700,000 bales, is the largest
ever grown in the United States, and estimated at
the average value of about SSO per bale, it amounts
to the enormous sum of $185,000,000.
The crop, so far, has been distributed as follows :

Some suppose that the present growing crop of
1859-’6O may reach four million bales, or three
hundred thousand in excess ot the present crop.
If so, and the civilized world should remain at
peace for a year or two to come, it will all be con
sumed at remunerative prices. Some believe,
however, that the preseut supply ot labor devoted
to the culture of cotton will not be able to carry
r.he yield up to four million bales, and tew o none

A Remarkable Trial.— A case has been tried
in Ei-'gJaud which deserves a passing notice. Some
five or six years ago a very old gentleman, named
Swinfen, died at Swinfen Hall, iu Staffordshire.—
He made a will and devised the Swinfen estate,
yielding about. $10,600 a year, to the widow ot his
deceased son. The validity of the will was con
tested by the testator’s half-brother ou the ground
of his mental incompetence at the time of making
the * ill. At the trial which ensued Lord Chelms
ford, then Sir F. Thesiger, appeared as counsel for
Mrs. Swinfen. Daring the progress cf the trial
Lord C. undertook the responsibility of making a
compromise, against the wishes of his client, by
which the widow was allowed $5,000 a year out of
the estate, and a further sum ot $6,000 fi r costs
incurred. Mrs. Swinfen refused to act upon the
compromise, and after a lengthened litigation she
established the validity of the will in her favor
She then sued Lora Chelmsford to recover compen
sation for his breach of duty in compromising her
case and for damages wh ch she bad sustained in
consequence of Lis conduct. This action sought to
affix dishonesty and fraud upon Lord Chelmsford,
aud though his lordship has succeeded in convincing
a jury that he did what he thought beat for the
widow, his client, the trial considerably damages
his reputation as a lawyer. The moral which the
English papers draw from this case is, that lawyers
should not, from mere apprehension of an unfavora
ble verdict, rashly compromise the cause of a
client, and that they should obstinately contest
their case when the client is prepared to incur all
the* risks of a full trial.
Cruelty to Seamen—Moke Brutality on an
American Shii*.— ln the Overland Friend of
China, tor May 21, there is an account of the pun
ishment at Hong Kong, of the captain and two
mates of the American ship Messenger, for cruelty
to the sailors, which exhibits a most revolting pic
ture of inhuman conduct. The captain, mate and
second mate were tried before the local magistrate
and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment in the
Victoria jail. The disgraceful part of this business
is that the < fficers of this American ship were ar
rested on the complaint of the master of a British
vessel, who, seeing from the deck of his own ship
an unusual commotion on board the Messenger, by
the aid of his telercope discerned that a man was
tied up in ibe rigging so that his feet could not
touch the deck, while some person was beating
him over the heaa with a rope Such sights are
probably not uncommon on shipboard, but there
was something suspicious in the circumstance which
led to further investigations, when the arrest of the
officers was made, and the tacts elicited which led
to their punishment Ii justice to the officers of
the Messenger, it must be mentioned that the China
Mail condemns their punishment as unjust, but the
evidence of their barbarities towards their sailors
appears not to have been impeached.
Special Nicaraguan Congress. —A specia
Congress has been ordered by the President of Ni
caragua, to take into consideration “ certain se
rious matters relating to the foreign relations” of
that republic. r lhe session was to commence on
the 15th of the present month. The decree is pub
lished in the Washington States, and is probably
the basis of the telegraph.c dispatches to the Asso
ciated Press announcing the probability that the
Lamar Zeledon treaty will shortly be ratified, with
the article objected to by our government omitted.
The States attributes such object to the Nicaraguan
President, but on what authority it does not say.
The probabilities are in favor of that idea, how
ever, but it is not quite certain by aDy meaus that
the CoDgrees will ao just exactly what our govern
ment wishes them to do. Nicaraguan statesmen
seem to have a vill of their own, and to be tolera
bly independent in the exercise of it.
Naturalization and Protection Question. —
A native of Bavaria defends, through the Alexan
dria Gazette, the position of Gen. Cass concerning
the protection due naturalized Americans while vis
iting their native countries on the continent of Eu
rope. The following extract from hia article is in
teresting :
“A person can quit ray native country without
molestation afterwaroH if he remains till he is
twenty-one years of age, and takes bis chance at
that time of being drawn for a term ot military ser
vice. If he leaves after he ia fourteen, and before
he is twenty-one, he leaves with his future obliga
tions hanging over him, and be knows it. He
knows if be afterwards returns he must either then
take the chances from which he has escaped or hire
a substitute. These remarks apply to those who
leave by themselves, If the lather of a family
wishes to emigrate he is at liberty to take all bio
children w'ith him without difficulty, except such as
are ab'-ut twenty-one years of age, and even as to
them the caee may be adjusted But if a young
man over fourteen, who has been protected oy the
Government and educated almost entirely at the
public expense, sets fit to move off before be has
made any return, and leave his father and mother
behind to the protection of stranger, and if he
chooses afterwards to return, he ia held to the duty
from which he has escaped.”
Statistics of MokmoN Population.— The Val
ley Tan contains the following statistics of Mormon
population. The population of Mormons in the
Uuited 8-at*s and British d<-m oions in 1853 was not
less than 68,700. of which 38,000 were resident in
Utah, 5,00 u in New York State, 4,000 in California,
5,000 in N iva Scotia and the Canada.-?, ana 9 000 in
South America, lu Eirope there were 36,000, of
which 32,900 were in Great Britain ana Ireland,
5,000 in Scandinavia, 2,000 in Germany and Switz
erland, and in Fiance and the rest of Europe 1.000;
in Australia ana Polynesia, 2,400; in Africa, 1U0;
and on travel, 2,800
To these, if we add the different branches, includ
ing Stranger.es, Kigdonitea and Wbiteites, the
whole sect was Lot iece than 126.000. In 1856 there
appears to have been a decreace in the population
of Utah—the number being only >1.022, of which
9 000 were children, about ll,00:j women, and 11,-
000 men capable of bearing arms. There are 2,388

The certificates are handsomely engraved and
printed in blue ink. It will be observed tuat (he
name a tached is ‘ L O Hot,hchilds,” whereas, the
signatures of the great banking firm which was to
seem to give countenance to the scheme, is “M. A.
de Rothschilds fa Sous.” Our reporiers have in
vestigated the affair as fu ly as posib!e, and we
give what they have been able to ascertain on the
eabjeet-
It appears that about a fortnight ago, a rnan rep
resenting himself to be on*- of the firm of Constan
tine, Fellner fa Cos., o l 75 Na-sau street, applied at
the New York Post Olli e for a box, and was in
formed that, in accordance with the usual rule, his
firm must first be recommended as responsible by
some well known business firm. The man soon
after returned in company with a gentleman doing
business down town, with whom the Post Office
officials were well acquainted, and who told them
that without doubt the firm of Constantine, Fellner
fa Cos., was all right. It is presumed that this gen
tleman acted in good faith; nevertheless, we with
hold bis name for the present.
lu consequence of this recommendation the ap
plicant o'tained hia box, and box No. 3,861 was
assigned to the firm. A few days after the firm
took possession of their box, letters began to arrive
in great numbers, addressed to them, sometimes as
many as forty or fifty per day, principally from the
South and West. These were promptly delivered
upon call, for a time, but the great increase of their
correspondence, and the fact that many 01 the letters
evidently contained remittances, began to eicite
the suspicions of the officials, and then suddenly the
firm ceased to call for their letters, which accumu
lated to a large amount, and many of which still re
main in the office. A messenger was then despatch
ed to No. 75 Nassau street, but he returned with the
information that no such firm was located there, and
no one knew anything about them.
Meanwhile the Mayor Lad been favored with a
copy ol the circular and certificates, and at once
placed the matter in the hands of the police. The
circular and certifica.es were exhibited at the bank
ing house of August Belmont, the ngent for the
Rothschilds in this country, and the whole a flair
was without the slightest hesitation pronounced to
be bogus. The Consul of Baden also declared the
certificates to be worthless. No 75 Nassau street
was ransacked from top to bottom, but not the
slightest clue could be found of the whereabouts of
Constantine, Feliner fa Cos , or aoy of its members.
Officers were sent to watch the Postcffice, but the
opera ors had evidently takeu the alarm or been
notified ts their danger by secret confederates, for
n body applied for their letters.
So the matier remains for the present, the
schemers having escaped, probably with sufficient
m*-ans to embark in rew schemes as soon aa this
affair shall have a little blown over. The police,
naturally, hoping to save their own credit by the
ultimate capture of the men, are exceedingly anx
ious to keep the matter private, and withhold from
the reporters all the info mation in their po/-ses
sion ; but we have deemed it our duty to place our
readers in the South and West on their guard by
txposingthe whole affair as early as possible
Those who Lave enclosed money to the firm within
a tew days, may hope to receive it again in time b>
way ot the dean letter office, and auy who ma>
chance to possess durable information on the sub
ject, should address Mayor Tiemann or the Deputy
Superintendent o Police.
1 here is no doubt that a great many people in
the fc_utb and West have embarked in this enter
prise. but to wtia. extent can probably never be
known. Yet, m all probability, the next plausible
scheme ot the kind will meet with equ-.{ ravor
and find plenty of cimpletous eager to be hum
bugged.

Account of the Circumstances which i*re
ceded the Armistice —,A Paris lei ter m ihe In
penaance ot Bru-st.ls gives the following aotouui of
the circumstances which preceded the Armistice ;
The Emperor of Austiia having caused a demand
to lie made iu Ihe French camp n it were nut pi a li
ttle li obtain the remains of Prince Wiudisobgrauiz
whi was killed at S .l orinn, the Emperor N lpjleou
caused them to be sought for—a and they were reoog
nised, partly by Ilia uniform, and partly by Home
letters f.oin his newly married wife, which he hud
abiut. bin. The corpse was placed in an artillery
wagon, aim conveyed, accompanied by au cllicer
ot the ihe stun and ail escort, to the Austrian head
quartets. Ti e oflioer expressed to the Emperor
the condolence of the Emperor of the Frenoli; and
Ins Austrian Majesty (who was just recovering front
a somewhat eeveie indisposition) begged, not with
out emotion, the officer to oonvey his thanks to tho
Emperor Napol on, and to express Ids sorrow at the
death of eo many brave men in the French army.
This led to some remarks on the cruel necessities of
war, and from what was said, the Emperor Francis
Joseph was able to perceive that those necessities
wero regretted as ranch by his opponent as by him
self. The Emperor Frat eta Joseph afterwards sent
the eon of General Urban with a Hag of mo e to the
French camp, os is known, and the Emperor Napo
leon by au a itograph letter proposed a suspension
of arms. It is added that the latter has carried his
courtesy to the extent, of neutralising, for ihe sign
ing of the preliminaries of a truce, the town of Vil
iafranca, although the usages ot war ould have,
justified him in requiring those formalities to lukei
place at his own head quarters ”
Summer Sours —lnteresting to Everybody
Physiological research has lully established the faot
that acids promote the separation of the bile from
the blood, which is then passed from the Bystem,
thus preventing fevers, the prevailing diseases of
summer. All fevers are “billiuus,” that is, the bill,
is in the blood. Whatever is antagonistic to fever
is “cooling.” It is a common saying that fruits are
“cooling,” and also berries of every description; it
is because the acidity which they contain aids in
separating the bite from the blood ; that ie, aids iu
puritying the blood. Hence ihe great yearuiug for
greens aud lettuce, and sulaaa in the early spring,
these being eaten with vinegar; henoe also the taste
for something sour, for lemonades, on an attack of
fever. Hut Ibis being the case, it is easy to son
that we nullify the good (-fleets cf fruits aud berries
iu proportion as we eat them with sugar, or even
sweet milk or cream. If we eat them in their nat
ural state, fresh, ripe, perfect, it is almost impossible
to eat, too many, to oat euougb to hurt us, especially
if we eat them alone, not taking any liquid with
them whatever. Hence also is butermilk or even
common sour milk promotivo of health in summer
time. Sweet milk tends to biliousness in sedentary
people, sour ltnlk is antagonistic. The Greeks and
Turkß are passionately fond of sour milk. Tho
shepherds usa rennet, and the milk dealers alum, to
make it Bour the sooner. Buttermilk arts like

Sit KING for it kr Boors—A y! ung maiden witlr
rosy cbeeas and nice fat dimpled shoulders, giving
her name as Catharine Kmkel, applied to Justice
I’urriy yesterday, for legal proceedings against Mary
Sadler, a companion aud friend of her youth, who
iu an evil moment had yielded to temptation too

only looped ekiit the fair Catharine possessed.
The two girls lived in the same house, and one
night laet week were invited to a danoe. When
Catharine went up stairs to don her best dot lies she
found herself minus hoops. Indignant and disap
pointed, she followed her friend to the danoe, and
there, in the midst of an admiring orowd of gallants
and an envious company of ladits, she found the
faithless Maiy sporting such voluminom airs that
her breath was fairly taken uway by the sight, bite

which was brought iuto court ou the shoulders of a

Pawnee, now building at the Philadelphia Navy

length and has 17 feet beam, while her dratt ia
only ten feet. Great etreugth has been added to
her frame by iron braces between the timbers and
the outer piauking ; also by strips of iron running
diagonally across the beams supporting the deck, as
Well as heavy iron bu kheada, aud heavy iron
plates on the sides of the vessel, between decks.
Tne planking on the vessel is seven inches thick,
and of the beat timber. Ihe theory of the con
structor is, that thick plaDkiug strengthens a vessel
much more than heavy massive timoers. The bot
tom of the vessel, which owing to her great breadth
o) beam, is in the centre quite li it, possesses some
thing entirely new in vessels of this class. Near the
k-el the bottom is convex in its form, while the
bilged or outer surface of the bottom is ou a level
with the lower part of the keel. The accommoda

They had their plans all made to set fire to his
house, and theu plunder other psrte of the city wbffo
it was burning. Ou that night they did set fire to
the house, but special policemen had been ata* ioned
in different parts of the city, and four of the gang
were arm-sted immediately, and the fire extinguish
ed before doing auy harm.
The man who gave the most of the information
to the defective, was a ringleader, ani is now in
safe keeping.— M /wanker Wisconsin, July 24.
Another Prize Fioht in Kentucky. —The
vicinity of our city has again been disgraoed by
one of those brutal affairs known as prize fight*.—
For tWo hundred dollars, two men named McCarty
and Kearney, met yesterday, twelve miles above
town, and horribly battered each other. Three
steamers, crowded with passengers, left the wharf
atari early hour—the Charm, Pink Varble and:
Empire. They were accompanied by music, flag
aDd refreshment*. Arrived at the ‘ ground of arms,”
the “mill” took plaee. Sixty-six rounds hotly con
tested, took £law, when Kearney was declared the
victor. On in a twentieth round, McCarty broke
his hand, but continued to fight with desperation
until hia second, Aaron Jones, threw up the sponge*
aa a signal of de eat. McCarty was loth to “give
it up so,” although one of hia peepers was out anti
the other buDged up. There was con
s derable disaatiafaction expressed at the result, and
the Pointers who backed McCarty, were much dia
heartened. A Urge amount of money changed
hands. On one of the returning boats there was a
general fight, which was concluded on the wharf. A
young man fl, unshed a knile very briskly, aud cut
tbiee men through their clothing. He was stopped
in hss slashing proceeding by the nreeentation of a
pistol. When the noata reached the wharf, there
were at least three thousand persons present to wit
neaj the arrival of the victor and vagabonds.

Another Excitement from the Reclamation
of Fugitive Slaves —Considerable excitement h
caused in Marylandfrom circumstancee arising out
of the capture of fugitive slaves who had escaped
into Pennsylvania. P. seems that the owners of
the slaves appointed a man named Emanuel
Meyers, who resides in Carroll county, near the
Pennsylvania borders, as their agent to take (he
slaves aud bring tDem back, as he coul 1 undoubt
edly do, under the Fugitive Slave Law of 1851,
provided he did so without committing a breach of
the peace. Armed with this authority, Meyer*
went to Pennsylvania, where the negroes lived,
and, in the middle of the night, succeeded in cap
luring and taking them back A great outcry waa
made on the arrest being discovered, as many*
people really believed that the negroes were free,
and, on tie oath of a negro named Coleman, L
warrant was issued for the arrest of Meyers, with
out specifying that the negr* ea were free
This warrant, was handed over to Mr. Robert
McCartney, the Sheriff cf Cumberland county who
bribed the drivtr of the mail stage to entrap Mey
ers. This he did by driving near to the border of
Maryland, but ou the Prucsylvania side, where
bolding up a letter he told Meyers to come tor it. Not
suspecting reachery, Meyers complied, when Mc-
Cartney and his confederates jumped from the
otage, and capiured him after a severe struggle.
Yleyers wa3 subsequently released on tendering
oail in the sum ol $2 500 to appear and answer at
the August term of the Cumberland Court. The
Governor q Maryland, it is said, is taking steps for
the protection ot the citizens from similar ontiages.
Effect of War on Human Stature —Dr.
Beil says that if the curse of war be long entailed
on a nation, the physical energies of a people may
suffer by the loss of its finest population to uch a
degree, that the succeeding generation will fall
short ot its former standard stature, as was the case
with the French youth dratted tor the army after
s he general peace. Thus in 1826. out of one mil
lion thirty-three thousand four hundred and twenty
two y-ung men drafted to serve in the array, three
Hundred and eighty thousand two hundred and
thirteen were serif back because they fell short of
