quite Apparent to hie readers that nui indefinable j
dread, like n nightmare, jwwtMsres hi# brain and
hatches therein a brood of unsightly terrors. If
the Union had over boon diwdved, if the lugu
brious croaking* of its friends over anticipated
dissolution bad ever been justified by result*,
with a slight show of reason, wc might be expec
ted he-eaercist’ souh* patience with this wterimJ
hammering. Hut the foot briog otherwise, wo ore
left to wonder at the tenacity with which the
croakers cling to the thread ‘hire song. Let not
the render indulge surprise that the Republican
bus never once hinted at the possibility of danger
to the rights ot the Sooth, in it# catalogue of
pul Hi aI ills, thy degradation and dishonor of its
seeti.iu has Ttcvar found a filxcc. It knows full
well that this is the only read to the catastrophe
it deplore* that If a dissolution of the In ion
ever 101008, it will b accepted by tho Sout h as an
alternative to aoqutesonuee in insult and eppres
ft on.
Wo cant ion the reader against surprise at this
dereliction of unr extemporary, because ho ex
pUtitiy declares that the priworvolion of the
Union is “paramount to every other ytuwfiw**"—
What sympathy can wo expect from a journal
which holds such a doctrine for any movement
having for its object the maintenance and deform
of our rights ? Wbat more cheering er alluring
invitation to the ass anils of abolitionism can bo
given thou is directly conveyed by the declara
tion that, com* what may, the Union shall be pre
served? A feckless majority may trample on
the Constitmion—the bond of the Union -may
oppress us in the thousand ways which fanatical
seal may cuggeti., yet, wc wilt unflinchingly,
nay, with premeditated complacency, endure the
wrong—wo will kiss the rod which mites u*. and
•offer up a prayer of thanksgiving that our poftil-
U thraldom is not more griovows •—that wo arc
the slaves of such kind and lenient masters !
Ww boiiove oar ootempomry to be the only rep*
eseotativo of the third degree, paramount anion
bun wing of the late South American party, and
W wish him ail the consolation which solitude
can confer, lie endorse# the declaration, ul the
Nashville Humor, ••that, the tendency of the
Southern Democratic party I# to inaugurate a
state of thing# which will precipitate the question
of dissolution,” We congratulate them both upon
the discovery. Wc interpret It a* an admission
that the Southern democracy do not consider iho
preservation of kite Union superior in iuterest and
importance to the right* of their section, and arc
willing to surrender the formor.it uwfi he to secure
the latter. Such commentary is a fair setoff to the
charges which ore some time# hereabout* rung
again*! the that they ace bent solely
•pon tho attainment tf power and spoils, and arc
willing even tt* ignore the rights of the, ttouth in

Mr, Judge—such a# a blank band of music, some
half du/,* n Itftnnrf* carried by litflolmys. An.
When bo uromi to opan Ihv discussion, a young

wbat “hr s/ild Tcould hot hear, being too far fiiu
bom at the conetuaion of which she cast some
Howe™ toward# him, and mono half down or inure
followed her example in this, lie rot urn cod hi#
thanks to ihm in a few appropriate remark#,
and then addressed hinutelf to (be people. Hi
spoke of ili fm in itioii of our government, of the
slavery question * J.etweeu tlie North and .South,
nud, took up the most of the time lie spoke ill u
#<>rt of fourth of July strain, then propqtutffod
the question, ‘‘where luw the safety p/ th Booth'”
And from all 1 could gather from hi# argument
and answer, it swujed to hoiu voting for Thoma*
J. Judge for Congress, llu then alluded to hU
vote, Mini us usual, f-hcltarod himsoli behind
some otic elii* -thou of Ml. Uloplott # tuq
telling who be would support for Governor, and
thru of hi* “nrxof, and string of red

of it by raying among other things, that at that
lime he win* a poor man him sell'ami did not have
a much it# thv law allowed him. I suppose hit
tinu odnient t hen was offered to cover what prop
erfy he did have, After biitnderiug along fur an
hour, (hewn# to have xpoken an hour and tiftaen
ndnut##,) he Muted thut UU time was exhausted
and that after Mr. Uloptou had spoken an hour
and fifteen minute#, he, would Again speak in re
ply to him. Hi# friend# looked mortified, some
?>a|d it was a poor speech, some hung their beads*
while some heat • retreat fndy awnro of what w as
to come.
Mr. Clapton arost he w* greeted with no
fair sjieech from (he ladies, no flower# were
strewn in his path, but the hearty applause of
hundreds of hi# follow citizen# greeted him. Af
ter speaking u few word* to the ladies he proceed
ed in a masterly style to overturn every position
that Mr. Judge had taken, interrupted almost at
the dose of every sen tenon by such bursts of ap
plause as i have never hoard before but on one
occasion, and that was at the tint* of the tpunk-
fit'/operation at thesuiuc place. Hu spoke of his
vote fur Governor, that both, Gov. Moore and
Col. Bam ford, were hi# personal and political
freindu, and lienee there was no necessity for hi#
stating his preference, hut that if any man's vote
in the Congressianai Canvas# depended on hi#
vote for Governor, ho would answer him on being
questioned, but that it must come from better mo
tives than the gentleman's who questioned him at
VUIaU, who had acknowledged that hi* vote did
mH depend upon it, but that it wa dono to make
vote# for Mr. Judge. He then answered the que#
tion “where lie# the safety of the Booth,” by sta
ting that the Democracy held every Southern Stale
but one by large majorities, and that in hi# opin
ion it was the dnt£tr all the opposition hereto
C3-opr#ta with the ‘majority, in protecting the
right# of tin* South in the Union, and If that could
not he done, side by side, shoulder to shoulder,
with strong arm# itiwl stout hearts. farh>#n of dan.
gyr, wo would ya out if the l'nion together. No
one who hoard the shout of applause when this
solution of the question wft# given, could doubt
how Alabamians stand in this mutter. Hfe sprffto
of how Kansas was refumcfl ailmission into the
Union by six Mouth Amerieaiis. lie wished to
know of hi# opponnnt why he could not. when
moving to utnoml the exemption hill, instead of
drying “razor,” #ay three t orn and etthen, instead
“razor-strap” say fifty pound* of inrat, instead of
“string of rad pepper,” say ana hundred bunlitdnof
corn. Hut It impoßsitdo to give any tiling like the
substance of Jiuvy'mqmcch, for hesurpaxsed him

After lie concluded, Mr. Baker urose and sta
ted that Mr. Judge bud been taken very ill, and
thut tho doctors said he w# pot toned. Now if
he wo* poisoned. Mr. Baker must of ueOMuUjLd
he compelled to explain, far Mr. Judge hud stay

with him in ii buggy ta .Salem, mid put up with
him ut a hotel, tbo proprietor of which, dudonged
to their own party* However, Mr. Uloptou did
give hint Mi fticjntaoei of iJenioftary. and Hint
might have poisoned him. Be this a# it may, Mr,
Baker spoke the fifteen inmate* in reply t > Mr.
Cloptou, but as I did not hear hi* remark*, I can
say nothing in relation to them. Mr. < joptan
spoke only about seven miuute# In reply to Mr.
Baker's, as he said they were entirely foreign to
the issue. But the euthiisiftsin for tfloptou be
came so great about this time that he could scarce

so crowded around him that he bad scarcely
room to stand and speak.
It wa# n grand triumph for Olopton, aud Salem
will tetig be remembered by the opposition. But
the querent part of the performance was that when

tlrai Qbwvutiont from Mr. IV**e.
Mr. La.Ytonntaine has addressed n long letter
to the Troy Tlities, descriptive of the recent voy
age of which we have already given Mr. Wise's
account. His pictures of tlio appearance of the
earth and heavens are graphic.
THU NIGHT.
As we parsed up. the great uity of St. Louis be
ueuth teemed to be compressed ami drawn to
gether on aconeavo. the valleys and woods melt
ing hiif i neb other until the outlines became al
ni"-t mdisiinguiTlmbk*.- houses floating In a gut
ter. and nauuug faint puli# of smoke. At about
S o'clock, we could see that the people below were
having their sunset, although wo wore in a full
blare of light. The prairie* looked like vast
Helds of polar ice. slightly tinged with green,
but quite destitute ttf luminous properties. Be
tween u* uud them hung suspended evidently, a
dark and almost opaque belt, which seemed like
a veil drawn over the country. The alternate
f latches of cultivated grounds, water sheets, and
ittle hills and gulches. govern alia diverwifled
appearance : though the hills had lost their rela
tive oouo-like appearance, and wonted to lie vast
sugar loav •>*. fretted with raisins and teuton par
ings- the effect of alternate forest and grass.
Snob spectacle must be seen to be appreciated,
and can be seen only by those who study nature
flrota the favorable position w occupied.
Very gradually the darkens* stole up from be
low. it was as though invisible hands were lift
ing up the veil a* it approached and enveloped
us. in a few moments the sun left us, disappear
ing in a ha*,v. luminous bAiik of red. it did not
become dark. Throughout tho night, we wore
aide at all times to distinguish tho prairies from
the wooded country below, even when at an alti
tude of two miles. We were floating in a sort of
transparent vq**r, which without posses*ing any
perceptible bo.ty, yet seemed to be made up of
la miaous particles. The effect of the light was
very peculiar. U gave tho balloon aphnsphore* -
cent apftearanee. a though it were charged with
til e. So powerful we* this, that every line of the
ueLliug, every fold of the silk, every cord and
wrinkle, wen so plainly visible us if’illuminated
by torches: and I vogM at any moment tell the
time by consulting my watch. This pheotaet>eu
became more striking a wo increased our altitude.
My theory of a fact so rental kablu uud bet ore un
heard of, is that the clouds charged with eleetri
cal principles, and acted upon by the heat of the
KUO, einittod and dims used through the ait the
luminous particles, which, though separately in*
divltugai'-haide. weiv aril! myriad torch bearf-r*
of our wondrous wav. This theory has scien
tific wsi raut in the fact that *bip have sometime*
been similarly ilUimtuatcd at sen* so powerfully
that the mast bead was visible front deck, which
w ould proceed from the same cause*, acting under
different circumstance*. That it is tint a natural
tcalitre of height above the earth’s surface. is
shown by the fact that when Charles tlreen, Mark
Mason and Lord Holland made their famous noc
turual voyage from London to M ellhurg, it was
so dark it seemed e* if the Ualhum was passing
thfongli solid block# f blaek marble.

I’root one o'clock until sunnee. fit about hair*
past 4 o'clock, I kept the balloon within 400 or
5tH feet of the earth—using during that time but
three pound* of ballast, which I consider a little
nwarkkWt. fiuring this period, all three of my
companion* war# fan asleep—-the atmosphere be
ing very warm and pleasni.i ul th altitude w?
lusiutniried---and Hieir decided #l;oaring gave me
a picM- unt ic o.opanimeift m my voyage, and
#oiowhat mried iy reflections.
About So minutes pa*ff>le oVlta-k, the hailoon
lowered suddenly, o a# t* almost touch the top#
qf the tree*. 1* threw out three pounds of ballant,
and heard the #mi shrike upon a roflfatop, prob

At this time dav light made if# appc-aranei-. herul

It seems a* if every tree top bore u coronal and
every Held of grain wn* beaded with a cabinet of

an untold tnagiilticoncc. I could not refrain
from exclaiming aloud in wondering admiration
of the glory of nature'# Hod. My companion;*,
who were awake by this time, joined with me in
feasting upon the ravishing splendor of the
view.
Japan IjKobuokmain.—H< threw up the
sleeve# of hi# dress, and showed a piece of some
tiiomo pHjter which he held in his hand, it was
about six inches square, and by dux tar on# and
delicate manipulation he farmed it into a very
good imitation of a butterfly, the wing# being ex
tended, and *t the most each wh* one inch across.
Holding the butterfly out in the palm of hi#
hand, to show what it win, he placed two can
dles, which were beside him, in such a position
a# to allow him to waive a fan rapidly without
atfacting the flatne, and then by a genffa motion
of hi# tan over the paper irnwet, lie proceeded to
set it in motion. A counter draught of air from
sonrn quarter interfered with III# effort#, and made
the butterfly truant, to hi# will, and the screen
lim*l to he moved ii little to remedy this, lie
then threw the paper butterfly up into the air,
and gradually It seomod to acquire life from the
action of hi* fan now wheeling and dipping to

wing# quivering with nervous rtntietumtm. ‘me
could have sworn It wa* alive creature.
Sow it Hew off to the light, and than the conju
ror recalled it,‘and presently supplied a mate in
the Hiiftpo of another butterfly, and together they
ro#e, and played about the old man’s fan, vary
ing their attentions between flirting with one
another and fluttering along the edge# of the fan.
We repeatedly saw one on each side of it a* ho
held it nearly vertically, and gave thefaua short,
quick motion; then ono butterfly would pass
over to the other, both wheel away on if in play,
and again return. A plant with some flowers
stood in n pot near at hand : by gentle move
ment# of the tan thu pretty little creatures were
led up to St, and thou their delight! how they
played about the loaves, sipped tho flower#, kiss

The exhibition ended, when the old man ad

Mixing i i* or mi; Hawks, -'i he Wouvi r villa
(Vd\.) Journal, gives the following account of an
affair which, however it may move the laughter
of our renders, wo fancy to have made some of tho
parties concerned “laugh on the wrong side <>f
their mouths :” .
“Home time ago there was a dancing party giv
en ‘up north ;’ most of the ladies present laid lit
tle babies, whose noisy perversity required too
much attention to permit the mother* to enjoy the
dance. A number of gallant youn-r men volun -
teered to watch the young one* while the parent
indulged in a ‘break down.’ No sooner had the
women left the babies in charge of the mischiev
ous devils, than they stripped the infants, chang
ed their clothes, giving to ono the gppare! of gu
other. The dance over, it whs time to go home,
and the mothers hurriedly took <uwd a baby, in
tho droae of her own, and started, some to their
homo*, ten or fifteen miles oft', and were far un
their way before daylight. Hut the day follow
lug tlieye was a prodigious row in that settlement;
mothers discovered that a single day had changed
the se\ of their bald®#; observation‘Misplosed
startling physiological phenomena, and then com
menced some of the tallest, female pcdcstrtantHiu ;
living mile* apart, it required two day* to umnix

If dim confidence of our cotton operator* ha#
ever wavered in the faith of an ultimate re action
in tho price of this staple, the accounts we are
now receiving by nearly every steamer, -should
satisfy them that there is no ground lor their
wfint of confidence. Ui* true wu are uot refer
vinu advices of any advance; on the contrary,for
the last steamer or two, pri>e* have boon reported
a little down,but the quotation* remain unchang
ed} and even with all the hue and cry the differ*
once between the highest point and the present
ruling figures will be covered by a farthing; and
most d'the cotton hehl by operators in this city
was purchased at the ebb tide of prices.
It l* a mutter of much astonishment to u. that
the quotations have been sustained so well with
such disadvantageous circumstance* combining
to depress all brunches of eouimcio®. Tit© war
aloue Ik sutVicicut to keep down prices., and yet
the Havre market, of all others, the on® most
likely to be affeoted by it, i* reported adv ancmg,
and this in the face of remarkably heavy imports,
at one tint® IUO,tMMt halo* in excess of last year.
The report by the Canada states that exporters
took I 1.4U0 hales the week she sailed; Ibis does
not show a want of confidence on the contimmt.
England if always a “bear” in the cotton tradu,
and any argument they can make use of to keep
down price*, is unhesitatingly used. They have
in tho immense stock at Liverpool ol 717. tutu
bales, a strong argument in their favor; but even
with this, they cannot obtain auy concessions,
except on the very poor and trashy styles. It is
to ho exported that where so much cotton is hold
someone will be compelled to sell, ami the buy
or* there, wo dare any, are quite us dilligent m
hunting out tho week spots, a* our buyer* *m the
“Hay’ are.
It i# a well known fact, that the spinners of
Manchester are making cho most extravagant
profits, and have been doing so all the winter
past -wehave heard it estimated a.s high as S2O
u bale. As long uk they can make halt’ this,
there will be no cry of short time, though they
will only purchase, a* they have been doing,
barely enough to keep everything in motion.
Tho exports from this eouutry have erased,
and the present heavy stock at Liverpool will
soon commence to dwindle, and without a hope
of any accession# from us.
With these lights before uk, it snouts impossi
ble to arrive at any other conclusion than that
prices must advance materially, and at’ no very
distant day. At one time we thought that tho
luture looked decidedly “blue,” but the way pri
ces have been sustained ooitvineee u# that there
is more oonU*leme in the staple at Liverpool and
Manchester, than we evur anticipated nud that
the “good time coming ‘ is almost Imre. ><* .

The fluctuations are al#oftitod Iti the belief that
cause# arc in operation which, whatever maybe
the abundaiicw of the harvest, will produce un
advance in prices.
The crop of grain in the Western State* from

not a large one. Less lu*n has been cx|H>rioncad
from lute and unreasonable frosts, tbuu was n

The war new#, that at first excited a fever in the
grain markets, inducing speculation# that pre
maturely raised the price of flour, ceases to inllu
euec operations in this staple. It begin# ft* W
general hr conceded that for mouths, to com the
cuulliut in Europe w*H not enure a demand for
breadstfls from the United Btate, If it should at
all so long as the war is localixedin Italy.
The fact Is, the home demand, under die influ

raised prices#o far above those pro ailing in Eu

What the bnqulrcr knew
i “We knew that it, [the Times] and it# party,
| by tho act of annexation, excluded slavery from
i a portion of Texan lhu sacrificing and eurren
j dering, far the sake of miserable party advantage,
j a groat eoastitutionnl principle which should havt
j been dearer to the Koutb than ten time# the aroa
jof the territory embraced in Tux*. We know
; also, and wc now “call the attention of the coun
try to the fact,” that ll opposed and In still oppo
sed to the act of the Fillmore Administration by
which this prohibition of slavery in a part of Tex
as wm repealed.-* Enquirer
The first item of information refers in terns to
the act of anexaiion, and the second, we suppose,
refer# to the Compromise measure**'!’ 1860. If
the Kuquirer had stirred its brain a little deeper,
it might have known that, had the policy of it*
party boon carried out. not *>nly woukt Texas
have been excluded from the Union, but slavery
would have boon excluded from Hie whole instead
of a portion of that immense territory. It might
j have known further, that the “constitutional prin
ciple,” of which it speaks, had a/ready boon • ur
i rendered,ami that alt parties at the Mouth in that
j day were willing to extend the Missouri Compr**
! tnlae lino to the Pacifie. VV<* rather think, too, it
; would have ascertained that it or it* party never
i opposed flic* annexation scheme on the vrround of
; the Application of thut restriction.
In relation to the second item, the Enquirer
did know Iho t the Southern Democracy iqqHised
tho compromise measure# not because they eon-
I taiuod a repeal of this restriction in reference to
I Texas, but heeanmi this insignificant concession
was wholly insufficient to compensate for the
wholesale robbery’ by the north of California, and
I tor the unconstitutional interference, by Congress,
with the institution of slavery in the District of
Columbia, because the compromise cup contain
ed the*© bitter ingredient*, tho Southern Democ
racy refuted to drink of it. Hut the “repeal” hud
a more potent charm far the Enquirer. Hn-nuir
of it, wc presume, that journal gul|*d down t hese
nauseous und abominable abuses, and then in the
campaign of 1 *!<!, it ami it# party denouHrxul the
repeal of the Missouri H’-tricfion from all the
territory of the l oiou as the Fandom's box whence

Mr. Ttiottia# Hardeman,’ the Opposition candi

tion, which the Enquirer copies with approbation.
Tt 1 even Jubilant ori?r the prop#et of victory,
and the feeling which the letter displays, and the
unatimml* which it avows, furnish the inspiration
for our neighbor's rejoicing.
Mr. Hardeman Mays, “the mammoth project of
a Pacific railroad, ami the tariff policy of the
present Federal Executive, are subject* of serious
aud bitter condemnation.” In view of the fact
thut these measures are but the normal develop
ment of political doctrines which thut gentleman
add hi# party formerly held, and advocated, the
above declaration may ho regarded a# somewhat
remarkable. A protective tarifl and internal im
provement by the general government, are prin
ciples whitm were, at one time, very precious fa
Mr. Hitrdeman and hi# political associates. But
wc make uo war upon him far this public obau
doumeitt of tho#** heresies. We are rather dis
posed to applaud him for acknowledging post
error* aud signifying his conversion to the true
faith. But how con the Enquirer endorse and
commend such forgives*tion ? Scarcely a week
ago it was down upon Mr. Crawford for confess
ing the error of hi* early life iu opposing the an
nexation of Texas, and aid something very severe
in this connection about the unreliability of poli
tician# who were shifting with every poJkfaal
gale. Within tho *auic quarter of th, moot* it
grows ecKtatic over the somerset evolutions of Mr
Hardeman ! But we farrre! that,

Mr. John Howard: Sir—However well posted
you may be in the punctilios of the Code, your
last note lffpry plainly shows you are a stranger to

gentlemen: the tone of your last note, preclude?

Notwithstanding the omissions above shown,
Mr. Howard ha? the effrontery to say, “the above
is the ‘orrospondenotj between Dr. Foster aud
myselfl” He is indignant, that gy
communication# to the Gnrette appeared “anot*y~
unwell/,” -i (hough it were an uuaual thiug far
men to write thu*. The nurao of the writer was
furthcoming an soon as desired. He emphasises
hi- “father's age.” -‘A gray htutd * a crown of
glory,” hut only * in the way of righteousness.”
He says i denied bis “right to demand tui expla
nation for what was deemed offensive to hia fa
ther.” Hi* own publication contradict* him flatly .
Lack of familiarity with the duelling “code” is
not considered vulgar in this country.
The suspicion is very generally entertained in
this cumin unity that Mr. Howard's uDuecufenuily
offensive note to un was intended to force me, in
self-respect, fa cease to notice him, and thus to
shield him from the danger of a ho-tile meeting.
It will be observed that Mr. Howard calls at# a
“young .nan,” in comparison with his father. 1
have only fa say that he ■too “young,” in more
respects than on, to demand much of my atten
tion. S. J. FOSTER.

t-ASTioLtoN't , Italy. Friday uigbf, Jnno24, ii^jy.
1 eaiue from Brescia early this morning, -and
arrived just in time to witric* the last half of
what 1 have very little doubt will turn out to have
been the greatest battle the modern world ha*
•eu. You will get the official summary’ of its re
snlt* by telegraph losfore tins loiter reaches you.
ond will b>; joepared, theretore, fi*r this statement
of if* magnitude. ( cannot de-cribe it with any
precision my at —for it has lasted all day, and ex
tended over a circuit of not less than fifteen
mile*; the noise of the cannonade, and even of
! the musketry, moreover, is still in my ear*, and
none of those engaged in it, except the wounded,
have returned to give us any distinct ami con
nected report. Hut not less thuu Ijti.Othi men
have engaged in it: and of these not les# than
;o,ffeo- -<b a*! or disabled—lie, on this bright,
starry night, npon the bloody field.
Tho battle commenced at littlebcfore 5 o’clock
in the mbrntng —not far from sunrise. Jnst back
of ( a-tiglionc rises a high range of hills—which
project.’ a mile of thereabout.-, into the plain, and
then break# oil (awards the Lift into a wide ex
panse of smaller bills, and so into the rolling
surface which make that portion of the plain.- -
Tho Austrians had taken position upon these
bills--planting cannon upon those nearest to
Casligliou® which they could approach, as tho
French army was in fall force in and around that
little village, -and had stationed their immense
array all over the surrounding plain. As nearly
<m we cn now learn, the Kmpuror Francis Joseph,
had collected here not less than 225,000 troops,
and commanded them ill parson. His evident
purpose wu* to make a stand here, und risk the
fortuues of the war npon the ba%urd# of the day.
Napoleon promptly accepted tho challenge, and
commenced the attack ;ut soon as it was light this
morning, by placing cannon upon the hills still
nearer to t wdiglion© than those held by the Aus
trians, ami ..jailing fire upon them on the heights
beyond, lie look bis own stand aj>on the high
est of these—tt steep, sharp-backed ridge, wh ch
commands n maguitieeni vie w of the entire circuit
of the plain, and from that point directed the en
tire movements of hi* army during the early por
tion of the day. The French very soon drove the
enemy out of the post* they held nearest to the
town, and followed them into the small village*
of the plain befow. The first of these was Sol
ferino, where they had a sharp and protracted
engagement. The Austrians disputed every inch
of the ground, and fought here, a* they did
throughout the day, with the utmost desperation.
They were thn- timet driven out of the town,
before they would tiny out. The people of the
village, moreover, took part against the French,
upon whom they fired from their windows, anil
the French were compelled, in self-defence to burn
the town. When they found it impossible to hold
their ground any longer, they fell back, slowly
and steadily, until they reached the village of
T<dta, which, a# you will sec by tho map, lies di
rectly south-east from Castigiione, and is only
about a mile frmn the river Mtncio, from which,
however, it is separated by a range of hills. lp
on these hills, in the rear of the town, and over
looking it completely on the .South ami south cb.o
sides, the Austrian* hud planted very formidable
Invtteritw ; and when 1 arrived upon the field and
went at oney t the height were the Emperor had
siood at toe opening of the engagement, hut
which he hiul left an hour before to follow his
victorious troop*, these batteries were Maxing
away on the French win* were stationed on the
plain Mow. I was too far off to observe with
any Accuracy the successive steps of the action,
but 1 Could distinctly see the troop* stationed up
on the broad plain, and morlng up in masses to
wards the front, where tho artillery was posted,
as their service* were required. But as soon tis
they reached this point they were speedily envel
oped in the suioku of the canuon, and dissapjofar
®d from observation. Hut the geuerul result was
soon made evident by the slackening of the Aus
trian fire, and by the falling back of their smoke
and a corresponding udvanc© in the part of that
which raw from the French artillery. The can
nounding *t that point lasted for over an hour:
but in precisely whnt direction the Austrians re
tmated, ir was not pwatHbhh fiun the positimi l
oceupiiwl, to .-.‘f, I was afraid to chaoc.: it, more
over. Wuw, although I might easily have gone
more directly and closely upon the field, f could
urn have found any eminence upon the plain from
ivhieh I could have had *o *woeptog and complete
n view. Part of the Austrian force probably
crossed the Mincio Kiver, which flows southward
from the lokrer end of Lake (Suarda, and empties
into the Po.
Hut the baffle continued to rage all over the
region north- west of a line connecting the towns
ofCtwtiglione, Hoi ferine and Volta. Atonepoint
alt-r another a sharp cannonading would arise
and continue for half or three-quarter# of an hour
--and alter each successive engagement of this
kind, the result became apparent in the retreat of
the Austrian* and the advance of the French
f >t<\ During all tho early part of the day the
sky had been clear and the weather hot. Hut
clouds began to gather at about noon, and ut
5 o’clock, while the cannonade was at its height,
a truuicudous thunder-storm rolled up from the
north-west; the wind eatoa first, sweeping from
the parched streets an enormous cloud of dust,
and was soon followed by u heavy fall of ruin,
accompanied by vivid lightniug and rapid explo
sion* of raUliug thunder. The storm lasted for
about au hour, and the cannonading, so far as
we could distinguish, was suspended. Then the
rain ceased, the clouds blew away, the sun shone
out again and the air was (moled and perfectly
delightful. Though the cannon may have ceas
ed l'ur a time to take part in it, the fight had
meantime gone on,—and when I again resumed
tny post of obeervation, from which the storm
had expelled me, the cannonading commenced
quite ou the extreme left of the entire field and
on the very border# of the lake, north-east from
Castiglione and west pesebiera.
The Peidmontese troops under the King who
command# them in person, had been posted there
and received the Austrians as they came around.
From about 7 o’clock until after night-fall an m
ocssant and tnn*t terrible combat was her* kept
Ml! 11 ! IL J
up. The batteries of the two armies were uppar
etrtiy aluttt halfa mile apart,—aud at the outset
they were both served with nearly equal and es
factive v igut. But the Austrians gradually slack
ened their fire and several times t*>sk up new jra
-itioiis, —while the Surdiumus poured a rapid
a4 luiiwt*, irupted shower ol balls upon them, —
‘tspending only for a few tiiiuutcs a! n tiuas, and
then renewing it again withrmlonMoil fury. Tho
wind had now gone down, the air was -till, and
the sound of luusktiry, a* wWJ a* the ennn<ui
wax distinctly heard. Thu farnter eras eottlinu-
Ut>, .-.harp and incessant, sounding like the con
stant aid irregular pattering of hail upajl a roof,
whilo the initer wav oceasionally sti-pcnded, hut
while it lasted was overwhelmingly grand and
terrible. Over the Sardinian park rose * dense
white cloud of smoke, directly upwards, its sides
perfectly upright and well defined, and spreading
outward both wavs at the top like an euoratoua
sheaf'of'wheat. The suit was making a glorious
soiling iu the west, and as hi# light gradually de
parted, tlic vivid flashes at each discharge of the
< ftiiuon gleamed through the smoke like sharp
lightning through the breast of au enormous
cloud. B<iotc‘times only a single flash would 1m
-ecu. then two ir three at oucc, and sometime#
halfa doxen would break forth in an instant suc
cession It was l>egiuniug to bo dark when I
turned to descend the hill, and all the way down
T till board the roar of the cannon and the clat
tering of the gun# of tho infantry. But the Aua
irian.s were dearly falling back, and could scarce
ly have failed to sustain a total rout. It i# pos -
sible they may be in condition to tunke one more
struggle in the morning, but. judging from ray
own observation, it i# certainly not probable.*-
They have .-ustained au overwhelming defeat,and
it .-mein* fa uie not unlikely that the Emperor may
now be induced, by tbe representation# of the
neutral Power#, fa accept the peace which Na
poleon will be very likely ao tender him.
I aut afraid to venture upon any conjecture as
to the number of killed and wounded in this bat
ik* ; but from the nature of the ca#e it must be
enormous. lam confident that not lev# than re
thorn*and wounded have been brought into this
village alone during the day—to say nothing of
those that were left on the field or taken to other
places.
