Win. Lamar. I>eptity Sheriff of this
,;intv. died very suddenly at his resi
dence in tliis city on Wednesdey last.
Hi? remains were deposited in the tomb
yesterday with Masonic ccre
m ides. 11c leaves a large circle of
friends and relatives to mourn his loss.
l)ro\v lied.
We learn that a man by the name of
Joseph Malone, a sculptor, in the employ
of Mr. T. Kenny, was drowned in the
Chattahoochee yesterday morning. It
seems he went into the river to bathe,
with a friend, and, advancing beyond his
depth, and being unable to swim, he was
carried away by the current and drowned.
We did not bear of the recovery of his
body.
We have been kindly furnished with
the following statement of the receipts
and shipments of Cotton in our city dur
ing the year, as also the amount of bales
now remaining on band from actual

Bali at Warm Springs.
The devotees of Terpsichore will be
pleased at the announcement to be found
in another column of a grand “ IIop,” !
which will take place at that far-famed
watering place, the Warm Springs, in
Meriwether county, Ga,, on the evening
of the lOllt iust. We think we hazard !
nothing in saying that this will.be equal- j
Sy as pleasant a re union as ever occurs j
at any watering place North or South.— j
Prof'. J. C. Duesberry, who cannot be j
excelled in getting up and arranging in 1
such affairs, will be in charge. We have !
no doubt of a large attendance.

We mean to continue to raise the side
walks in the city. Already they are from
lour to twelve inches higher than the lots,
making drainage almost impossible, ex
cept at heavy expense, often more than
many of our citizens are able or willing
to pay. We were surprised and astound
ed to notice the carts engaged in raising
the side walk in front of the residences
of Messrs. Barschall, Johnson and Ram
sey, a day or so since. This walk was
one of the dryest and most beautiful in the
city, and higher than the lots. Where,
then, the necessity of raising it still high- j

and would be pleased to be enlightened
in the views entertained by the Street j

Col u mints 111 rectory—Correction.
Ws regret exceedingly that in our
hasty notice, yesterday morning, of this
work, just issued from tho press in our |
oily, we were not as explicit as wc should
have been, thereby giving out the im- j
pression that the work was defective. |
Our fault was in classing the advertising i
patronage as a part of the directory,
which, upon a moment's reflection, we
perceive to be an error. The directory,
we have no hesitation in assuring the
public, is full and complete, much more
so than we thought it could be made.
Wo can cheerfully recommend it to tho
public as a book containing all the neces
sary information as to the residence and |
place of business of every man and woman
in the city. Our allusion to its want of j
fullness and being incomplete, related j
entirely to the advertisements.
Non-subscribers can purchase copies |
by calling at this office.
The llog Law is Abolished.
At least we presume so, from the mini- j
her of grunters which are perambulating
our streets. We have always hail a pride |
in seeing the laws and ordinances, made
by our city authorities, enforced, even if
bad ones, until the same are repealed, j
The hog law may be a good one, or it may j
not; be that as it may, it is a law made
by the proper authorities, and should be
enforced, or repealed. It may be our
Council have invaded their (the hogs’) ;
constitutional rights, and they may be, !
possibly, standing out in defiance of the
law-making power of the Council, and
are determined to test the question before
tho Supreme Court. If such be so, we
trust our City Attorney will not shrink
from a faithful discharge of his duty, and
Marshal Hughes intimidated thereby from
properly penning the porkers until tho
ordinance shall be repealed.

Mr. Mason’s Vocal Classes.
We attended this gentleman’s juvenile
class in vocal music, in the basement of
the Methodist Church, yesterday morn
ing, and was very much pleased at the
progress the children were making in the
science. We are glad to perceive a con
tinued increase of interest upon the part
of pareuts, to have their children educat
ed in this healthy and social branch of
knowledge. The order amongst so many
children (over one hundred) is surpris
ing, as well as the promptness of their
answers to tho teacher's questions, and
correctness in time when singing. This
gentleman's adult class, which meets at
the same place on Tuesday aud Thursday
evening, we are also pleased to say is con
stantly receiving additions. This is well,
and would be better could there be as
many more.
We trust Mr. Mason may find it suffi
ciently profitable to remain permanently
in our city, and impart instruction in
this heavenly science.
ltenutil'ut Grounds.
We never pass the grounds of the First
Methodist Church but we have to stop
and admire the beautiful place which they
have made to surround their majestic
house of worship. Its arrangement is an
honor to the denomination, and an orna
ment to the city. This proves what dear
woman can do, when she has a chance.
Compare with this lot the Court House
square, where men have charge. One is
an attractive spot, while the other is re
pulsive and disgusts the finer sensibilities.
\\ ondcr if the Inferior Court would permit
the ladies of our city to put the thing in
decent order ? If they will, and the ladies
will take hold of it, we know it will be a
different looking place in a very short
time. Hundreds of dollars can be collect,
ed from our citizens to pay any expenses
incurred. I.adies, will you take the mat
ter in hand ?

Work llesumtil.
We are glad.to notice that the masons
have resumed their labors on the walls of
the Baptist meeting house. The con
tractor fur the brick work, Mr. Williams,
will push the work forward to completion
as fast as circumstances will admit. The
walls of the Presbyterian building have
been raised to a good height, and where
they should be allowed to stand for a rea
sonable length of time for them to settle
before the remainder of the wall and
heavy roof is put up. IVe have long
thought that contractors were too much
hurried in our city iu completing brick
walls for large buildings, especially pub
lic ones, whioh are intended not alone for
service, but somewhat as an ornament to
*o the city.
iiiver Urifie.
This beautiful little tearner made a
trial tiip from the wiiart on i’ue-kiuy af
ternoon. A goo'dly number of friends in
terested in her success, were on board to
witne.-s her performance. The most san
guine expectations of all interested were
fully realized, both as to her speed and
adaptation for the summer trade between
this city and the various ports between
this and Apalachicola. We have pre
viously given her dimensions, as also her
machinery. This boat stands as another
living monument to the mechanical skill
and ingenuity of Mr. Charles Blain, who,
if we do not mistake, has built two bouts
in our cily before this, which Lave
proved in every particular, equal to the
Western built boats, both for carrying and
speed. The River Bride is composed en
tirely of native timber and built by
native workmen, some of them “ manor
born,” lienee she may be considered the
third Columbus built boat. We think
this is the first occasion our machine
shops have had a ciiance to show what
they can do in the way of steamboat en
gines and boilers. The engines for this
boat are of an entire new style, being so
connected that while one is pushing the
other is pulling, thus avoiding an occur
rence which frequently puts the engineer
in bad temper, “a catching on the cen
tre.” The motion is regulated by whaU
is known in locomotives, as the “link
motion,” and acts like a charm; facilita
ting greatly in shifting from forward and
backward. The “doctor,” is a “love
j of a doctor,” performing its duties in a
very easy, quiet and unobtrusive way.
In short, the entire machinery is the eas
i iest and quietest going machinery we
have ever seen in motion on a steamboat, j
and is a living commentary on what
Southern mechanics can do when prop
| erly backed up.
The River Bride, though not finished, I
is ready for service, and will commence
her regular trips this morning at 8
o’clock, when she will leave for Fort
Gaines and intermediate ports. We wish
Capt. I’endergast and all others interest
ed in the “Bride,” the greatest success.
We are happy to announce that the boat
has been christened, by Capt. Hill,
the “ Express Bride.” Three cheers for
the “Express Bride!”
Wiio Sint 11 Itulcf
Our attention has been called to that
portion of our City Ordinance which re
lates to negroes hiring their own time,
and living, separate from their owners.
We are not overly desirious to obtain anti- j
free negro notoriety, nor do we wish to
be considered unnecessarily captious
about the actions and doings of our city
I officers. One gentleman who has liereto-
fore represented the people of the city in
Council, informed us, that during his
| term of service he had used every effort
j in his power to have the tenth Section of
! the City Ordinance enforced, but without
| success.
The duty of the Marshal in that sec
tion is plaiuly and distinctly set forth.
It speaks out without any if’s or and’s.
We have heretofore been in error in re
gard to the reading of this section, sup
posing that it permitted slaves to live ou
their owners’ premises, whether the own
er lived there or not. This, however, is
expressly forbidden, and the law plainly
states “ That no slaves shall hire his or
! her own time in the city of Columbus, or
\ skull live off Ike lot where his or her owner ,
j or employer lives again, “No Free per
| son of color shall be allowed to live sep
| arate. from the. lot where his or her guardian |
j shall live.” What authority more explicit
do our city authorities wish to autho
rize themlo remove the number of ne
| groes who are now living in open viola
tion of this law ? Verily, we have fallen !
in strange times when the negroes shall
defy our laws and laugh in our Marshal’s
face, when he seeks to enforce obedience
to them.
This violation of this ordinance is be
coming a serious matter, not only iu Co
lumbus, but throughout Southern cities.
Every city has rigid laws passed and
standing on their statute books against
this state of things, but to get them en
forced —there is the tug of war. Can it
be possible our officials are leagued
in with these vagabond negroes ? Wecan
not think so. The only conclusion we
can arrive at is the fact that our officials
fear a prosecution from owners’ and
guardians of these negroes. Wo feel
sure there is a flaw somewhere or our
present marshals would speedily abate
this nuisance; for it is nothing else as
numbers of our good and worthy fellow
citizens can feelingly testify. Often
I does it occur that our “ good wives”
complain to us of missing chickens, wood,
an occasional garment, and provisions
disappear as if by magic. Nothing defi
nite can he learned as to the wherea
bouts of the missing articles. A free ne
: gro family or a negro family hiring their
own time,lives not far away—they present
every appearance of thrift —dress'*splen-
; didly—are always at the nTarket wagon
with plenty of cash to buy—hardly ever
seen to buy any fire wood—and at the
same time do but little visible labor. Our
conclusion is that these same negroes are
fattening ou us. This is no overdrawn
j picture, and many of our citizens will
give a hearty amen to it.
It is time, high time our City Council
should place itself between the Marshals
and law suits, and let them abate these
nuisances. If any Aldermen doubts that
there are families of negroes, both free
and slaves, living in violation of this law,
they can be satisfied by calling cm us.

Tike Finest Yet.
Mrs. Dr. Tuggle lias placed us under
obligations for a specimen of the largest,
finest, and most delicious peaches we
have yet seen anywhere. They appear
to be a mongrel breed of what is common
ly known as the Indian and large yellow
variety. They were grown in the orchard
of Mr. George R. Robertson, near Dover,
Ala. We have not weighed or measured
them, considering that useless, and feel
ing satisfied that our word will be credit
ed that they are the largest which has
been in our city, will be all sufficient. It
affords us great pleasure to notice a grow
ing interest iu the raising of fine fruits iu
the South, and more particularly around
Columbus. We want still more men and
women who will devote their talents in
the development of the horticultural
science in our beautiful sunny South.
She can, and should of right, be the gar
den spot of the world. Success to Mr.
Robertson In his labors : and to Mrs. Tug
gle we tender our thanks for her kind
consideration.
Domestic.
Sickles Tragedies are quite common
just now. An affecting scene of this
kind toex place not a thousand miles
from La Crescent, in which the following
dialogue occurred :
Indignant husband to his wife's lover
“Scoundrel. Tou have dishonored me
and must die.” Makes a rush at him
with a dagger.
Wife seizes the dagger—“ Hold wretch
and imprudent man ! What would you
do ? Would you murder your children’s
| father?”— News.

Home Made Kerseys. —Our attention
io.s been culled to samples < t kerseys
manufactured at the Columbia Alills,
Columbia, S. C. Upon inspection we
found them to be of a very superior
quality. The fabric is heavy, containing
six ounces of country wool, free from
hair and other worthless admixtures, per
yard. To those who have used kerseys
manufactured from a compound of hair,
hemp, &c., it is unnecessary to do more
than direct their .attention to these goods.
Certainly no one having tried these goods
would ever think of using the inferior
substitutes sent to to the South for a
market. Cheraw Gazette.
It affords us great pleasure to be able
to clip such items as the above from our
exchanges, in regard to Southern enter
prise and independence. Columbus is
nothing behind her sister cities in the
manufacturing line, but ahead in quan
tity and variety. It has not been many
days since it was our privilege to be
present at an examination of the goods
manufactured b} r mills in our city, and it
was really gratifying to our pride, as a
, Southern independence man, to witness
such progress as Las been made toward
curtailing the dependence of our citizens
on Northern Mills for goods to clothe
themselves and negroes, and shoes for
our feet. We are proud to see Columbia
lending her ability to stay this tide of
trade which is flowing into abolition cof
i fers for goods to clothe ourselves and ne
i grees. Let the spirit now existing in
Southern breasts at Columbia, S. C.,
Augusta, MaGon apd Columbus, Ga., to
say nothing of‘other places within or
without these States, be nursed and en
couraged by a liberal home patronage
and soon will the downfall of abolition
dom be sounded, the sound of whose hel
lish yells will never be heard again'. There
is but one of two positions in the confed
racy for the South : slavery or indepen
dence. God grant her sons may take the
latter.
Let it be Amended.
At a leceut meeting of our city council
an effort was made by one of our Aider
men to so alter the guard house regula
tions as to deprive negroes incarcerated
therein, from getting clear of a whipping
by paying one dollar to the Marshal. We
are very sorry this effort failed, and be
lieve the Aldermen who opposed its pas
sage are misled as to the true way of sup
pressing a violation of law by the ne
groes, We have in our midst hundreds
of negroes who do pot fear incarceration
in the guard house if they cau be turned
loose the following morning by the pay
ment of a dollar either by themselves, or ,
their owners. Some owners object on
the ground that it injures the value of
the negro to have him whipped. Well, it
is better far that his property should de
preciate in value, than that law and order
j should be set at defiance, and other ne
groes encouraged to follow on in their
| disobedience. The laws of the State re
| quire patrols to whip on the bare back,
| any negro when caught away from his
owner’s premises without a pass. No
dollar can screen the negro from this
i penalty when overtaken by the patrols.
I Are our negroes any more valuable or
more deserving of sympathy than the ne
i gro in the country? Wc confess we can
not see the difference. There are hun
dreds of negroes in our midst who would
I rather lie in the guard room for a night
and pay a dollar in the morning for his |
lodging than carry a pass. Abolish the
dollar part, or rather add to the dollar
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back of
! every negro, male or female, who is put
in the guard house, and we are seriously
mistaken if late walkers amongst the ne- j
groes do not soon become scarce.
Not Very Pleasant.
We mean those hogs lying around and
under houses, and especially churches,
where of all other places one does not
wish to be disturbed by fleas as there is
j no possible chance to get after them, and
j to wait for an hour or more to get home
j with a lively, biting little hopper stirring
j about iu one's boot is more than ebris
; tian forbearance will tolerate. An old
! grunter with a full choir of young ones
may be a valuable assistant in imparting
| the key note to the chorister, and they
may also act as an excellent accompani
ment to the vocal exercises, and tune in
very well for an occasional amen at the
end of a sentence in prayer, but we don’t
fancy it. The music and amen grunt we
might tolerate, but the fleas, never.
Fine for Young Ducks,
Was that dripping, drizzling, soaking
rain, which commenced to_ fall during
Monday morning and continued through
out the day yesterday. On Friday even
ing of last week, our city was visited
with a soaker sure, and on Sunday an
other very good wetting was dispensed to
such as were unfortunate in not having
an umbrella in hand. We used to hear
old people say that when “dog days” set
in with a rain, it would continue through
out their term. If this be so, we are
likely to have a good time for the next
forty days to come. We trust, however,
iu this instance the prophecies of the old
folks will fail, and after a short spell the
rain clouds will “dry up” until a more
convenient season.
Another Excitement from tlic Re
clamation of Fugitive Slaves.
Considerable excitement is caused in
Maryland, from circumstances arising out
of the capture of fugitive slaves, who had
escaped into Pennsylvania. It 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 the slaves
and bring them back, as he could un
doubtedly do, under the fugitive slave
law of 1851, provided he did so without
committing a breach of peace. Armed
with this authority Meyers went to Penn
sylvania, where the negroes lived, and
iu the middle of the night succeeded in
capturing and taking them back. A great
outcry was made ou the arrest being dis
coyered, as many people really believed
that the negroes were free ; and, on the
oath of a negro named Coleman, a war
rant was issued for the arrest of Meyers,
without specifying that the negroes were
free. The warrant was handed over to
Mr. Rob't McCartney, the Sheriff of Cum
berland couuty, who bribed the driver of
the mail stage to entrap Meyers. This
he did by driving near to the border of
Maryland, but on the Pennsylvania side,
where, holding up a letter, be told Mey
ers to come for it. treach
ery, Meyers complied, McCartney and his
confederates jumped from the stage and
captured him, after a severe struggle.
Meyers was subsequently released on ten
dering bail in the sum of §2,200, to ap
peay and answer at the August term of
the Cumberland Court. The Governor of
Maryland, it is said, is taking steps for
the protection of the citizens from similar
outrages. Charleston Courier, ilk.

The St. Paul (Minn*) Pioneer says

from will not be far from two hundred
thousand dollars.

New Vork, August 1, 1859.
Cd. Herman Thom, a well knowu citi
zen ot New fork, died in this city yes
terday, at the advanced age of 78. He
was a celebrity from his family relations,
his immense wealth, his munificent man
ner of living, and his beautiful daugh
ters. In early life he was a Purser in
the L. 8. Navy, which he quit upon mar
rying an heiress by the name of Miss
Jauncey. It was, I believe, a runaway
■ match ; at least, the old folks on the
bride’s side were displeased and forbid it.
A little nook in Wail street, called Jaun
cey Court, was a portion of Col. Thorn’s
wife’s property. That of itself would
have been called a handsome fortune by
a person ot not too ambitious views and
notions.
Col. Thorn spent a number of years in
Paris during the reign of Louis Philippe,
and the truly regal style of splendor in
which he lived, astonished the French
people and slightly made havoc with the
Colonel’s property. Two of his daugh
ters married abroad, and both to men of
titles. One became the wife of Baron de
Picris, who was Equerry to the present
Emperor, while his wife was Maid of
Honor to the Empress Eugenie. Another
was wooed and won by the Count de
Fernssac. She lately appeared in Italian
opera at the Academy of Musio here, for
the benefit of one of our benevolent in
stitutions.
The other two daughters are also mar
ried, one to a Mr. Fox, a wealthy mer
chant of Quaker family, and the other to
a Wall street broker, named Kirtland.—
Col. Thorn had tw > sons; one married
Madame Barili, an opera singer, and the
other a young lady of this city. The
whole family were remarkable in one way
or another, some for their dashing mode
of life, others from their eccentricities of
character. Col. Thorn, himself, was a
proud, aristocratic man, mingling but lit
tle of latter years with society, in conse
quence of its plebeian contaminations.
He lived in what abroad would be called a
splendid palace, situated in Sixteenth
street, just out of the Fifth Avenue. And
to this day there are many persons, na
tives, too, who do not know who are its
occupants.
This massive establishment is as cheer
less in appearance to an outside observer
as it is magnificent. There scarcely ever
appears to be any signs of life about it. i
The windows are always closed, the huge
iron gates locked, and every thing around
the place looks as if there was mourning
within. Col. Thorn has for several years
been an invalid. Like many others who
have lived his luxurious life, he was the
victim of the wealthy man’s pialady, the
gout. For the last two or three years, he
lias been failing fast. The Union Club
missed him, and the promenaders on
Broadway no longer anxiously inquired:
who the portly proud man was that drove !
, in his splendid equipage, or took nearly I
all the sidewalk when he came out for an
airing of afternoons.
Our property (real estate) owners are
frightened at some proceedings that have
recently taken place. You may have seen
allusion, for some months past, to some
curious information, viz; that there was
a vast amount of real estate in this city
in private hands really belonging to the
city of New York. It was made known
to the corporation by a son of Governor
Tompkins, (formerly Vico President of
the United States.) The Common Coun
cil agreed to give fifteen per cent, of all
moneys or property reclaimed by him for
tho city. Daniel Ullman was employed
to ferret out more facts by the Corpora
tion Attorney. The result is, the corpo
ration will reclaim 12,385 city lots, twen
ty-five by one hundred feet each, situated
between Chambers street and Harlem
River. A test suit will soon be tried.
Meanwhile, no one likes to buy real es
tate until the matter is settled. These
lots are probably worth over one hundred
millions of dollars. Some of them are
worth $50,000 each, and very few less
than §I,OOO a lot. The litigation, ruina
tion and beggary of thousands would
follow, if the corporation succeed in es
tablishing a claim. The dread of such a
result would depreciate property on this
island one hundred million dollars in six
months. It would break up all confidence;
every man w’ho has a dollar invested in
real estate in the city, would seek to get
rid of it, and investments in real estate
would cease at once.
The poor girl, Virginia Stewart, who
was shot twelve days ago, still lingers
alive, much to the astonishment of the
hospital doctors. She is sensible, and
expresses her own confidence that she
will recover.
Dress and Debt at Saratoga.
A letter from Saratoga to the New
York Post has the following remarks :
“To a mere looker-on, Saratoga is an in
teresting place. Fashion here displays
itself in its wildest vagaries. The enor
mity cf the luggage required by the
feminines is such that a Saratoga trunk
lias become a by-word. The wide piaz
zas, &c., afford women an ample field for
the most ambitious to display their whole
wardrobe, and a sojourn here of a single
day will convince even the most skepti
cal that the ladies are very dear in all
that concern the outward ornament of
their person; but to an observing man it
is as good as a show to attend a drawing
room or a hop at the United States. It is
a national surprise to see how many
richly dressed ladies, and one cannot
but help think that our American sove
reign:! will rival, not merely in face, but
in outward adornment, the ladies belong
ing to tho* court of any crowded sove
reign iu Europe. It is true we do not
witness such diamonds, but iu laces snd
silks, &c., our fair countrymeu are regal
in their expense, and, we may add, regal
in their bankruptcies. llow many thou
sands of those wc see at Saratoga are
shining in borrowed plumes. They wear
what they cannot afford to, and are,
therefore, either themselves or their fa
thers, husbands, See., a slave to the lend
er. This is the vice of American society.
Everywhere you go, debt, in some form,
presses its spectre before you. A lady
dressed within her means, wherever she
may be, is to us a much better picture
than when it is notorious that her laces,
and silks, and jewels, are genteelly swin
dled out of some confiding creditor. Yet
Americans have such an insane passion
for display that the same wheel rolls on
year after year. Each summer brings a
different set; but each one straining to
dress beyond their means. Dishonor and
suicides, springing from these causes,
hardly create a ripple on the surface of
that portion of society which lives for
display.”
A Remarkable Hen.
Mrs. S. C. Robinson of this city has a hen
that raised the present year 30 chickens.
She is now laying the third litter of eggs,
two of which Mr. R. lias left at ouvoffice.
. One measured 71 inches around one way,
and 5; inches the other. What is re
markable in this is, that such an egg as
this is produced every Thursday, during
the present laying season. The other
egg, is one of ordinary size or considera
bly under. There are some strange
things in this case which we acknowledge
our incapacity to account for .—Atlanta
Intelligencer.
Mr. Hillard, in a letter from Liverpool
to the Boston Courier, states what does
not appear to be generally known to our
countrymen, that in the examinations of
travelers’ luggage by the officers of cus
toms, American reprints of English books
are absolutely excluded; they are taken
away and destroyed.

A Youthful Mother.
A negro girl about 12 years old, the
property of Mr. S. K. Taylor, of this
place, last week gave birth to a well de
veloped, fine looking child. We learn
that both mother and child are doing
well. Rather a youthful mother we
would say; however, we have a great
country, and are not astonished at any
thing that happens these days, and espe
cially in this prolific part of the State.—

A correspondent in Cherokee county
informs us that a citizen buried his wife
on Saturday, and at the graveyard en
gaged to marry another woman on Mon
day. In this he was thwarted by the in
terference of friends, and did not get to
marry her until Tuesday, the third day
• after the burial of his wife. This is, we
believe, the fastest time on record.—

The Causes of Austrian Defeat.
Mr. Raymond, in his last letter to the
New York Times, attributes the defeat of
the Austrians at Solferiuo to bad general
ship :
It is perfectly evident, moreover, that
some inexplicable cause paralyzes the
Austrian army and places it substantially
jat the mercy of the Allies. Its constant
successive defeats are perfectly unac
countable upon any ordinary hypothesis
of military operations. Its forces are
very large and well appointed ; its gene
rals tire men of ability, experience, and
unquestioned courage ; its artillery is nu
merous and well handled : its cavalry is
acknowledged to be the best in Europe;
its soldiers are brave, firm and loyal, and
its positions have in nearly everv-case
been selected with skill and admirable
military judgment. Yet in every case all
this has availed Ujem nothing. ‘ Protnis- :
ing as their plans might be, when the de
cisive moment came, something happened
to thwart them all. Just when every
body expected them to march upon Turin
and bold the i iedmontese capital, they
halted, and then commenced the retreat,
which, up to this time, has not been ar
rested. At Magenta 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.
And at Solferino they had a position,*
which, I have the authority of a staff offi
cer in the Piedmontese army for saying
—5,U00 men ought to have held against
ten times their number—or, in fact against
any power that could have been brought
to bear upon them. They defended it
vigorously—fought well—inflicted upon \
tlie French far heavier losses that they
- - j
themselves sustained—and withdrew while
more than a dozen heavy batteries of
their artillery had remained silent from
the beginning, and while masses of their
infantry still stood unengaged.
At 1 o’clock they had actually beaten
the Piedmontese, and if what seems to
have been their original plan had been
carried out, and they had at that moment
thrown the whole of their disposable force
upon the French, they could scarcely have
failed to break them, and win the day.
Several times, during the heat of the
battle, McMahon’s whole Hank was ex
posed to them—yet they suffered them
selves to be deterred from assailing it by
French light cavalry, and especially by a
body of Chasseurs d’Afrique, under Capt.
Bonaparte—who manoeuvred for hours in
so masterly a manner as actually to me
nace the enemy into an activity fatal to
themselves. Their artillery completely
swept the sides of the hills round Solferi
i no—and twice they actually drove back
the French, who attempted to storm the
! heights. They were strongly posted in
the stone houses and narrow streets, and
| in the cemetery had high, strong, thick
j walls, which protected them against the
| French fire, and gave them an immense
: advantage over them.
How it happened that with such odds
in their favor, they should have been
beaten, many able military critics have
, been puzzled to explain The French as
| sault was prompt, vigorous and wonder-
fully impetuous, and the Emperor Napo
| leon, by the rapid energy with which he
; brought up his scattered forces, the mo
j ment he saw a battle was impending, (for
up to sunrise of that day he had no ex
pectation of a general engagement, 1 re
flects upon him the highest possible credit
!as a commander and a general. But in
i spite of all this, there must be some cle
ment of internal weakness in the Austrian
camp; and from all I can learn, from the
| facts that come out, and the hints and
; surmises that float in the atmosphere, I
j have very little doubt that it is to be
, found in the incompetency and vacillating
I presumption of the Emperor himself. He
is a young man, without military experi-
I ence, and of only theoretic military
knowledge, and ambitious to a degree
which makes him absurdly jealous of the
Generals by whom he is surrounded,
whose advice he constantly rejects, and
whose well laid plans he constantly coun
teracts at the critical moment. Before
he joined his army, he kept up incessant
telegraphic communication with head
quarters from Vienna, and did not hesi
tate, even at that distance, to overrule
his ablest Generals in the field. Gen.
Gyulai has been disgraced for the loss of
Magenta, and private accounts represent
him as gloomy, melancholy, and appar
ently overwhelmed by the loss of his pro
fessional character; yet he has friends
who say that if the time ever comes when
he can place the responsibility where it
belongs, he will stand acquitted.
Three distinguished Generals—Clam-
Gallas, Prince Lichtenstein, and Zade
witz—are said to have thrown up their
commands, since Solferino ;—this could
only have happened under the pressure
of some very grave and imperative ne
cessity. On the field at Solferino Fran
cis Joseph is said to have addressed an
angry reproof to one of his oldest Gener
als—who instantly broke his sword
across his knee and threw it at his feet;
—the Emperor burst into tears and held
out his hands, begging pardon for the of
fence he had given. All these things,
with many others of the same kind that
might be mentioned, indicate a state of
complete demoralization in the higher
ranks of the Austrian army ; —and noth
ing can be more fatal than such a state
of things to the vigorous and successful
prosecution of a war. The Allies, enthe
contrary, are completely united. The
King, Victor Emanuel, with admirable
“judgment, accepts the place simply of
General of a corps d'armee, and gives to
Napoleon the supreme command of the
whole allied armies, and the most perfect
harmony prevails in every department
of the combined force.
Tlie Great Cave in Morgan.
We are informed that the pic-nic at the
Cave of Ittachoomah, near Trian, Ala.,
came oif July 15th. This great natural
curiosity, of North Alabama, has been
put in such a condition that it may be
explored without the least danger or in
convenience. Jupiter’s Hall, containing,
we understand, a large number of forma
tions of great beauty will"be the princi
pal scene of the festival. This cave is
said to be inferior in extent only to the
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and far
more beautiful in its details.
It contains a regular tunnel through
the mountain, cold springs of water, a
river, grottoes, halls and rotundas, and
is well worthy a visit of those fond of j
the great works of the Creator. Here is
a short description of it by a distin
guished literary gentleman at Huntsville,
who visited it last season:
“ Three miles from Valhermoso, is
King’s Cave, called by the Creek Indians
“ Ittachooma,” which, in many respects,
is not inferior to the Mammoth Cave it
self. Ilece are some of its prominent fea
tures noted down during a flying visit.
You enter under a ledge of limestone,
and first reach “ Snow-flake room,”
whose beautiful gypsum formations give
it its name. Some distance beyond you
enter the rotunda, a semi-circular room, l
at least 100 feet long, 50 f'eet wide, and
30 high. In this room are some beauti
ful stalactites and stalagmitic pillars. A
short distance beyond you reach Varapire
room, where you find an immense colony
of bats, hung against the ceiling in regu
ular festoons. This room is 250 feet long,
110 feet high, gloomy, ragged, and
grand. After passing the Hall of Statues
and descending through a narrow wind
ing way you arrive at Hebe’s Hall,
which contains a magnificent stalagmitic
pillar, which resembles a woman with an
eagle at her feet, which gives name to the
room. Passing along a narrow defile, in
which stands a pillar like a sentinel, you
come to the Hall of Jupiter, 100 feet
long, and about as high. This is the
mo3t beautiful part of the cave, and here
you find the statue of Jupiter, 20 feet
high, standing on a pedestal 30 feet in
length. Around him are other pillars re
sembling the gods in council —the gra
vest and most venerable of which is
called Saturn, the father of the gods.
Passing on your winding way through
, Corinne’s avenue, you reach the river;
crossing, you enter Coronation Hall, 100
feet long, and 50 feet high, in the centre
of which is an immense crown which
would have bowed even the head of Jupi
ter. Four hours, we rambled ou through
halls, avenues, and chambers, superior to
anything we have ever seen outside of
the great Cave of Kentucky.”
