LOCAL AFFAIRS. 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 count made on the first day of August: Total receipts to August 1, 1559 113,590 Old stock bid Total 114,4C5 Total snipments ltit), 184 .Stock ori lmtul 5,221 Total 114,405 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.

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.

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. Soutliern GootU. 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 Keel River Settlement. The St. Paul (Minn*) Pioneer says that upwards of two hundred carts ar rived last month in that city from the Selkirk settlement in British North Amer ica, and that the amount of trade which the St. Paul merchants will relise there from will not be far from two hundred thousand dollars. Vessel on Fire. New Orleans, Aug. s. —The bark Sa ragassa, loading for Philadelphia, has been a fire all night. The hold of the j bark will probably be saved. ton'ciqjouUcuce of tire Courier. 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. Later from California. New Orleans, Aug. 4.—The steamship Havana is below. She left Minatitlan on the 2nd inst., and brings San Francis co dates to the 20th u!t.

Other troops were # coucentrating to march against Marqueza. Miramon’s troops were concentrating at Regenesator. It was reported that a grand movement of some kind was on foot. Miramon had issued a manifesto, in which he promises to protect the clergy ; declares in favor of a dictatorial govern ment ; asserts that it ts the traditional policy of Mexico to guard against the United States. Minister McLane was at Truxillo. Only the skeleton of the treaty had been sent to Washington—it was not signed.

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.— Americas Republican. Fast. # 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.— Americus Republican. John R. Dowling, convicted at the last term of the United States District Court at this place, for embezzling and pur loining a letter from the mail, has been sentenced to two years hard labor in the iU. S. Penitentiary.— Apalachicola Adv. i 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.” Masonry In the Inilctl State*.
