Sobotka, June 30, 1 a. m.
The Crown Prince, with the second army or
\rmv of Silesia, on Wednesday, defeated, in
‘an action near Trautenau, the two Austrian
corns d’armec of Gablenz and Ramming, and
was pushing his advanced troops upon the
Upper Elbe, in the direction of the towns of
Aruau and Konigsliof. Last evening, in order
to open communication with the Crown
Prince, and to facilitate the concentration of
the two armies, Prince Frederick Charles
made a movement towards his left in the di
rection of the town of Gitschin, or Jicin, as it
is written on many maps.
In order to prevent confusion, I have not.
while the first and second armies have been
acting on different lines, sent any details of
tlie operations of the Crown Prince, nor shall
I touch upon them on the present occasion
more than is necessary for the comprehension
of the movements of the first army, but shall

advance from Silesia.

THE PRESENT STATUS IN GERMANY.
The news bythofleotia, which brings intel-
gence to the 15tfa instant, is condensed as
>Uows:
While the Emperor Napoleor. is deliberat-
ig upon a basis for peace, which may induce
he belligerents to desist Jrom war, both
'russia and Italy are pushing their armies
orward into Austrian territory. Cialdini is
eported to have entered Rovigo, which was
0 be expected, sinco our last report informed
3 that the Austrians had eval uated it after
•lowing up all the defenses of the town. It
ras believed that on the line of the Adige
he Austrians would oppose tie further pro
cess of the Italians, but which they did not
lo, as Cialdini is said to have reached Padua,
n thc Baccbiglione. some fiftren miles north
f Rovigo. There alro is repotted a fight be-
tvecn the Garibaldian volunteers and Austri
n troops in the mountain gorges leading to
he Stclvio Pass, in which thc Italians were
aceessfuL
k upon her capital, has her very existence
take, and we shall not be surprised to hear
t,gathering strength from desperation,she
turned upon thc Prussians and given them
trashing.
Yet for three-quarters of an hour thc village
of Lochow was held, and the continuous rat
tle of the rifles and the heavy cannonade of
the guns remaining almost stationary, told
the determination of the assault and the stout
ness of the defence. But the Austrians were
slowly forced from house to house and from
orchard to orchard, and had to retreat at
their last vantage ground on the top of the
Gitschin bark of tbe fourth ravine.
FIGHTING HAND TO HAND.
And here both sides re-engaged in the fight
•with the utmost fury. The defenders felt
that this was their last standing point, and
on its maintenance depended thc possession
of Gitschin; the assailants knew that success
here would almost certainly bring them to
the object of all tlieir exertions. The Prus
sian line soon formed on the top of the oppo
site bank to that held by the Austrians, and
then began to fire rapidly against the brow
wh^re the Austrians stood. The latter re
turned the fire but from necessity more slow-
Iv • still their guns smote the Prussian troops
heavily, and tne shells, bursting in front of
the assailants’ line caused many casualties.—
But the Pomeranians were highly excited,
and it is said that a heavy mass of the Prus
sians dashed down the road and rushed up
thc opposite slope with their rifles at the
charge. There a fierce struggle ensued. The
strong men of Pomerania pressed hard against
their lightcr opponents, and pushed them be-
vond the brow of the slope on to the level
plain, vet the lithe and active Austrians fought
hard, and strove to drive their bayonets into
but
thc faces of their taller antagonists,
strength and weight told, for their more pow
erful adversaries urged them back, foot by
foot, till a gap was clearly opened in the de
fenders’ line
SULLEN RETREAT OF THE AUSTRIANS.
The musketry bullets had also told sharp
ly on the Austrians, and they wereobligedto
retire. Thev drew off across the plain toward
Gitschin, but not in route; slowly and sul-
lenlv they drew back, suffering awful loss in
the‘open plain where the needle gun had a
fair range; but they fought for every yard of
ground, ever turning to send among thc nd-
vunciiig Prussians shots which were often
truly aimed, but which formed no sufficient
return for the showers of bullets which were
rained upon themselves. For long the plain
was thc scene of the advancing combat, and
it was not till near midnight that General
Von Werder occupied Gischin. In the town
the Austrians did not stand; they held some
houses at the entrance for a short time, but
these were carried, and then they retired ra
pidly toward the south. In their haste they
left their hospitals, and here, as well as in
Lochow, von Werder’s division took a large
number of prisoners.
THE FIGHT CONTINUED.
But this was not the only combat last even
ing On the northern ride ot Gitschin, and
on° the Turnau road, the Austrians have also
taken up a position to cover the town against
the Prussians advancing from the direction
of Turnau. The range of hills which runs
around the northwestern side of Gitschin,
drops with a steep slope down to the Tur
nau road, near the viHage of Brada, and
sends out a much longer prolongation of the
range, which runs at right angles to the di
r? vrtorl onrl hprnnfl it. as far a!
Prussians lie more thickly than at Lochow, |
for the more numerous artillery^ of the dc- ■
fenders ploughed with terrible eliect through j
the dense columns of the assailants as they j
advanced to the attack. But between Diletz
and Gitschin the ground is covered with
broken arms, knapsacks, shakos, and tallen
men, who arc mostly either Saxon s or Aus
trians, for here the needle-gun was more used
than artillery.
The Prusaans have taken about i.OOO pri
soners in the two combats, many otficcre,_and
thc Austrian loss in killed and wounded is^cs
timated at 3,000, so that yesterday evening
Las withdrawn 10,000 soldiers from under the
Austrian colors.
GIT8CHIN OCCUPIED BY THE I-RUSSIANS.
Headquarters were moved here this morn-
The town lias been almost entirely de
serted by thc inhabitants ; the streets are till
ed witli military carriages and marching
troops, while a Prussian garrison is bivouack
ed under the colonade which runs all around
the market place.
This afternoon the strategic object ot the
la’e iipveinents of the two Prussian ai nnes
has Ijcen achieved, for communications ha\c
been opened in Bohemia between Prince
Frederick Charles and the Crown Prince.—
A regiment of dragoons sent from here to-day
to feel for the Second Army has found the ad
vanced troops of thc Crown Prince at Arnau,
and has sent back intelligence that he has
seared the passages of the Upper Elbe at
Anau and Konigshof. Nor is this thc on ly
welcome intelligence which has to-day reach
ed the commander of the First Army, for lie
lias also heard that the Zietbnn regiment of
hussars has in the front defeated an Austrian
regiment, and captured a convoy of about fif
ty wagons.
This morning the army moved from Sobo-
tba, ready and anxious to fight, but the Aus
trians di5 not show themselves, and it has
taken up a position in front of Gitschin, pre
pared for battle. To-morrow the King of
Prussia conies to Gitschin, and will there es
tablish his headquarters.

A strong Austrian force held the wood be
hind the first ravine, with its sharpshooters
hidden behind the trunks of the fir trees,
with thc view of compensating for the infe
riority of their riflo to the Prussian needle-
gun. Behind each marksman two soldiers
were placed, whose only duty was to load
their rifles and hand them to the picked-men
to whom the firing was entrusted. The Aus
trian artillery was placed behind the wood, so
that it could bring a cross fire on the opening
in the front through which the chatuce passes,
and strike heavily on the Sobotka. As the
Prussian advanced guard approached the
ravine, the Austrian batteries opened fire
upon them, and the marksmen from behind
tlie trees also soon commenced a biting fire.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE OF THE AUSTRIAN AR
TILLERY.
The Jagers and tbe men of the Forty-se
cond quickly spread out as skirmishers, and,
regardless of the witliering fire to which they
themselves were exposed, showered bullets
from their quickly-loaded arms against the
defenders of the wood, while some of their
artillery quickly brought into action tried to
silence the Austrian guns. But the fight was
unequal, the sharpshooters behind the trees
could rarelv be seen, and the fire of the Prus
sians did not tell much upon their concealed
enemies; nor were their guns in sufficient
force to engage successfully tbe more numer
ous Austrian pieces. The Jagers lrom among
the trees were aiming well; the men of the
Forty-second were falling fast, and it seemed

GALLANTRY OF THE AUSTRIAN CAVALRY
THEY ARE REPULSED BY THE PRUSSIAN
INFANTRY WITHOUT FORMING sqUARE.
As soon as tbe Prussians came within range
the Austrian batteries opened upon them;
tbe Prussian guns replied, and under tlie
cover of their artillery the columns advanced
to the attack of the positions. The Eighth
and Forty-eighth regiments advanced against
the village of Diletz, which was garrisoned
by the Firet, Second, Third and Fourth Sax
on battalions, and where, as the prisoners re
port, the King of Saxony himself took part in
the fight The Twelfth and Eighteenth regi
ments advanced against the village ofPo-
dultz. Both attacking columns were exposed
to a very hot firs, but after a severe struggle
both villages were carried, though that of Po
dultz, set on fire by a shell, was burning
when the Prussians occupied it Then Gen
eral Edelslielm, who commanded the Austri
an cavaliy with desperate valor attacked the
burning village, but the horses would not
face the flames and tlie Prussian infantry,
from behind the blazing houses, fired on the
disordered squadrons and killed many troop
ers. After taking Podultz, the Twelfth and
Eighteenth regiments pushed past Brada,
leaving it to their right, and made for the
Lochow road, in order to cut off the retreat
of the Austrians, who were retiring from
Lochow on Gitschin. Thc Austrian cavalry
charged the advancing Prussians, but the lat
ter received them without forming a square,
and the horsemen recoiled broken by their
steady fire. The Austrian troops in Brada
and the Saxons and Austrians in Diletz were
quite separated by the capture of the village
of Podultz, and the former were almost en
tirely taken; the latter were cut off from re
treat in large numbers, for Von Werder was
pressing towards Gitschin, thc roads were
crowded and the river formed on the right of
the allies a wide extent of marshy ground,
which it was almost impossible to cross. The

Hehrt S. Schell,
Post Surgeon
We learn that on Tuesday evening last, as
the steam tug George J. Loan was patrolling
ip the Lazeretto creek, with an armed guard
on board, three men were discovered on tho
shore at Tybee, a short distance from King's
Ferry. As the tug approached them, they
were hailed by the officer, who ordered them
to go to their camp. The third man still re-
fising to obey, a shot was fired at him, and
though, as we understand, only intended to
frighten him, it struck some hard substance,
glanced and killed bim. Tlie guard then
went ashore, and found some soldier’s blank
ets, a lot of pork, a keg of whisky and some
other articles, all of which were destroyed.
A small boat was alio discovered hidden
among the tall grass, and was brought away.
Judging from the dress, two of the men
were soldiers. The third, the one killed, was
Jasper Cook, a resident of this city, and was
supposed to have been engaged in assisting
the soldiers to escap< tram the Island. He
was buried near the spot where he fell.
Four dead bodies were found on Wednes
day last on Wilmington Island, near Screven’s
Landing. A man was also discovered in that
immediate vicinity in a dying condition. He
expired soon after being found, and the five
were buried by some freedmen. It is sup
posed there are other bodies lying in the
marshes which have not been found.
The number who have died in hospitals
and been found dead in the marshes thus far,
number sixtj-five.
The strict watch which is being maintained
at Tybee will prevent further attempts to es
cape from tbe island on the part ot tne troops.
All those wlo succeeded in reaching tlie city
have been recaptured and returned to camp.
—Sac. ReptUican, 27fA.
The Heridd of the same date says:
The loss by death to the present time is
about one out of every six. Three or four
citizens have died on the Island, not included
in the above account. It is reported that Mr.
Cooper, tlie Light House constructor, died of
fever. We are informed from a reliable
source that he died ot cholera. The deceas
ed stood very high as a man of strict integri
ty, and his death is much lamented. Ot course
the work oa the Light House is discontinued,
and will prabably not be resumed for some
time.

Gknerai Beauregard in Europe.—The
Lordon correspondent of the New York
Times, writes: . , .
General Beauregard was well received in
England in private circles, but I do not
learn that ho had the slightest official re
cognition. But in France it was far other
wise. He was sent for by tlie Emperor,
with whom be had a long and confidential
interview at the Tuileries; after which he
conversed with the two Ministers of State,
M. Rouhcr and M. Drouyn de l’Huys, and ta-
den in a State carriage to the Legislative
chambers. It is reported also, that he has
had, and declined, the offer to take thc com
mand cf the Roumanian army. The Empe
ror Napoleon, in these polite attentions to
the Confederate general, is carrying out the
principle of perfect neutrality to the end,
and makes no distinction between Federal
and Confederate, except, perhaps, to treat
the latter, as tbe conquered party, with a
more delicate consideration. To the Empe
ror General Beauregard is only a brave and
accomplished soldier, of the merits of whose
cause he will not pretend to judge. In the
same way, the Emperors of France and Rus
sia sent congratulations to the Austrians
when they beat the Italians, and to the Prus
sians when they beat thc Austrians.
Horrible Affair in JIeriwetiier.—We
have verbal reports from Meriwether county,
in this State, of a most revolting outrage
committed by a negro man and ot tlie visita
tion upon him of terrible retribution by just
ly incensed citizens.
A lady teaching school, in a neighborhood
about seven miles from the Waim Springs,
was on her way home on Wednesday of last
week,when the negro met, or overtook her,and
forced her into tho woods, where he brutally
outraged her person, and then tied her to a
tree. ° In this condition, he kept her until
Sunday, she was discovered by some white
men, in an insensible condition. They re
stored her to consciousness, when they re
stored her to consciousness, when she related
to them thc horrible story of her wrongs,
and told them the negro would probably soon
return. The men concealed themselves to
await his appearance, and after awhile he
returned. They had him surrounded, and
immediately captured him. Confronting
him with his victim, they demanded of him
to sav what his punishment ought to be. He
responded that he ought to be “skinned
alive.” This judgment was at once carried
into effect by his indignant captors. The
negro survived thc flaying about half an
hour.
We have not heard the name of tlie laciy
thus horribly outraged, and of the negro we
only hear that he formerly belonged to a Mr.
Lamar.
Putnam. The proceedings of the meeting
in Putnam did not reach us until yesterday,
the day after the Convention; hence their
publication is unnecessary. W e would only
state that the Philadelphia Convention was
fully endorsed, and Messrs. D. R. Adams, D.
H. Reid, Jr., S. B. Marshall. A. H. Coates, P.
H. Dawson, D. T. Singleton, H. H. Cogbuur
Jas. C. Denham, Blumer White, Marion

to the admission of members ot Congress, it
would happen, in the event ot a veto by the
Executive, that Senators and Representatives
could only be admitted to the halls of legisla
tion by a two-thirds vote of each of the two
houses. *
Ainontr other reasons recited in tlie pream
ble for the declarations contained in the reso
lution is the ratification, by thc State govern
ment of Tennessee, of “tho amendment to the
Constitution of ihe United States abolishing-
slaverv, and also the amendment proposed by
the Thirty-ninth Congress.” _ It. as is also de
clared in the preamble, "said_ State govern
ment can onlv be restored to its former po
litical relations in the Union by the consent
of the law-making power of the Imtea
States,” it would really seem to follow that
tlie joint resolution which nt this late da\ has
received the sanction of Congress, should
hnve been passed, approved, and placed on
the statue books before any amendment tn

executive officer, whose constitutional duty it
is to see that thc laws are faithfully executed,
it is tbe official duty ot the President to know

whether the authority ot the Constitution and

restored and firmly established.
“The mere organization of a republican
government in harmony with the Union, by
the people of one of the existing States ot
the United States requires no enabling act ot
Congress, and I can find no authority in the
Constitution for any interference by Congress
to prohibit or regulate the organization, ot
such a government by tbe people of an cit
ing State of the Union. On the other hand,
it is clearly necessary that the President
should act so far at least as to remove ouc of
the way military restrictions on the power ot
the people to assemble and do those acts
which are necessary to reorganize their gov
ernment. This, I think, be was bound to do
as soon as he became satisfied that the right
time had come.”
As to the Convention, Judge Curtis says:

THE ADMISSION OF TENNESSEE.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
To ihe House of Representatives .-—The fol
lowing “joint resolution restoring Tennessee
to her relations to the Union” was last even
ing presented for my approval:
Whereas, In the year 1861, the govern
ment of the State of Tennessee was seized
upon and taken possession of by persons m
hostility to the United States, and the inhab
itants of said State, in persuance of an act of
Congress, were declared to .be in a state of
insurrection against tho United States 5 und
whereas the said State government can only
be restored to its former political relations in
thc Union by thc consent of the law-making
power of the United States; and whereas
tho people of the said State did, on the ‘22d
day of February, 1805, by a large popular
vote, adopt and ratify a constitution and
government whereby slavery was abolished,
and the ordinances and laws of secession, and
debts contracted under the same, were de
clared null and void; and whereas, the State
o-overnment has been organized under said
constitution, which has ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution of thc United States
abolishing slavery, and also the amendment
proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and
lias done other acts proclaiming and denoting
loyaltv; therefore
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States, in Con-
gress assembled, That the State of 1 enno.see
is hereby restored to her former proper.prac-
tical relations to the Union, and is again en
titled to be represented by Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress.
The preamble simply co .isists of statements,
jme of which are assumed, while the resolu-
somc ui wuiumuk— ----- . .
tion is merely a declaration oi opinion. It
comprises no legislation, nor docs it confer
any power which is binding upon the respec
tive houses, the Executive, or the States. It
does not admit to their teats in Congress the
Senators and representati ves from the State
of Tennessee; for, notwithstanding tlie pas
sage of the resolution, each house in the ex
ercise of the constitutional right to judge for

sen from the States whose people had engaged
in the rebelli' n.
All these steps had been taken, when, on
the 4th day of December, 1805, the 39th Con
gress assembled. Nearly eight months have
elapsed since that time, and no other plan of
restoration having been proposed by Congress
for the measures instituted by the Executive,
it is now declared, in the joint resolution sub
mitted for my approval "that the State of
Tennessee is hereby restored to her former
proper practical relations to the L nion, and
is again entitled to be represented by Sena
tors and Representatives in Congress.” Thus,
after the lapse of nearly eight months, Con
gress proposes to pave tlie way to the admis
sion and to the representation of one of the
eleven States whose people arrayed them
selves in rebellion against the constituted au-
hority of the Federal Government.
Earnestly desiring to remove every cause
of further dolav, whether real or imaginary,
on the part of Congress, to the admission to
seats of loyal Senators and Representatives
from the State ot Tennessee, I have, notwith
standing the anomalous character ot the pro
ceedings, affixed my signature to the resolu
tion. My approval, however, is not to be
construed as an acknowledgment of thc right
of Congress to pass laws preliminary to.tlie
admission of duly qualified Representatives
lrom any of the States. Neither is it to be
considered as committing me to all the state
ments made in the preamble—some of.which
are, in my opinion, without foundation, in
fact, especially, the assertion that thc State
of Tennessee has ratified the amendment to
the constitution of the United States propos
ed by the thirty-ninth Congress. No official
notice of such ratification has been received
by tbe Executive, or filed in the Department
ot State; on the contrary, unofficial informa
tion from most reliable sources induces thc
belief that the amendment has not yet been
constitutionally sanctioned by the Legislature
of Tennessee. The right of each house., un
der the constitution, to judge of the elections,
returns and qualifications of its own members,
is undoubted, and my approval or disappro
val ot the resolution could not, in the slight
est degree, increase or diminish thc authority
in this respect conferred upon the two branch
es of Congress.
In conclusion, I cannot too earnestly re
peat my recommendation for the admission
of Tennessee, and all other States, to a fair
and equal participation in national legisla
tion, when they present themselves in. the
persons of loyal Senators and Representatives,
who can comply with all the requirements of
the Constitution and the laws. By this
tracted condition oi our cauuuy; wai. tbe Constitution ana me jaws, uy uu»
