Many <.!’ our renders will smile when we say .at there is a disease called in common par aiee, “the matches disease.” Very few, tig the thou-ands of millions who light 'heir lam.>, their pipe, or their cigar with a lueil'er match, are aw are of the fact that those 11 m u ufacture and those who use these ■he- are liable to contract one of the most a iful of diseases. We quote from the New York Stm : “Quite recently, n young woman, who work ed in a match manufactory, was sent to the ’’.■ll -,me 11 ispital to ha ve an under jaw remov which had become diseased by inhaling the -pic ri •a, id used in’the factory. The op- • ition was skilfully performed, and the young v 'man. after some time, went from the hospit al perfectly cured. She had, however, a dis ■ .- ■1 t xith in one of her upper jaws, and re turning to her old business of match making, -he ion c attracted anew the disease, and fi nally died of it.” Another instance of this “match disease” ■ ame under our observation yesterday at the B-ilvue Hospital. A young girl who has w ked in a match factory, had her left upper ” .v, which had become diseased, removed by ■ie surgeons of the establishment, in presence ■me of our most eminent physicians. Dr. M itt. Junior, and Doctor Church performed ■ . i ration, in presence of a large number the faculty—Doctor Mott, Senior, and Dr. Francis being present, and assisting with their advice. The young woman was brought into the op erating ro .m or “theatre.” and placed under tin influ. nee of ether. When she had become i rfe tly insensible, the cheek was cut open from the chin to the oar, and the diseased jaw cut out. The roots of the disease were follow _d and cut nut, and the blood vessels caaefully tied up. Before the operation was completed -lie returned to consciousness, and her cries, '.vliile the cheek was being sewed un, were ag onizing. Several left the room, but the Doc tors continued their work with the utmost im ' Ivon The portion of the jaw removed ■ : >ol the pectators remarked, “perfect ly rottan.” We learned from the physicians that the ii-en ‘is quite common among those who work in match factories, and that it is dangerous for ;.ny one who has diseased teeth to be employed in tho manufacture of lueifer matches. They also state that the disease may be contracted by those who have diseased teeth, by lighting cigars or a pipe with lucifers, and inhaling the pl spheric acid, which is liberated by their ignition. It is well for people to understand this fact, and. as tiie doctors say, if a person I: a diseased tooth, he or she should have it i cmoved at once, and thus escape all danger of the "match disease.” Instinc t or a Cat. Ww lutvo a new b.-r. and that near neighbor has a cat, and that iat lias had several litters of kittens during her day and generation : each litter consisting of triplets. On the discovery of each of these ipl feline progenies, the family in which iter o-liip resided were in the habit of destroying two-of them without leave or license. Puss was, . ■- •, indignant, and changed her nursery, but to no purpose; her offspring were 1 und and all Lut one unceremoniously de spatched. Latterly she was observed in an unaccustomed place, nursing a single kit. which it was supposed, for the first time, constituted the whole brood. Thus matters stood for near i wee weeks, when it appeared that Mrs. Puss had outwitted all the humans of the household; for, having learned by sad experience that if discovered with the usual number, two of them must be sacrificed at once on the altar of econ omy, she had early taken the precaution to carry off and deposit tiro of them under an old outbuilding, keeping the one and two separate and apart, and nursing and caressing them al ternately, day and night, as she was recollected . have been seen during all hours of both go ing from one place to the other, until they had nearly arrived to the stature of cathood, when this clever trick of feline strategy was brought to light.— Exchan'je. Interval Between Meals.- —As a general rule, uu interval of from five to six hours should . ’apse between meals, but this, of course, must vary according to circumstances, and depend up n appetite. Persons engaged in business frequently do themselves much mischief by disregarding its monitions amidst the bustle nd excitement of trade. After a time, it is true, the appetite subsides, but the necessity ,f fool is not thereby removed. It is no ann ual thing for n merchant to breakfast at seven ' o’clock, or eight, and dine at three or four, I « hunt having, during all this time; eaten any- Ung. This long fasting is injurious, and the übsequent full meals it induces still more so, whether the fact be observed. In such cases, 1 “snacks’ 7 should always be taken. Third Congressional District.

St. Loiis, July I.—The first grand experi mental air voyage to the seaboard took place from Washington Square this evening, Profes sors Wise, lAmiountain ami Gages having made a succes-ful ascension in the mammoth balloon ‘‘Atlantic.’’ At 11.40 p. m., the infla tion of the balloon was finished, having been witnessed by thousands of citizens, while the square outside of the enclosure was thronged by excited spectators, ami the voyage was commenced. AVilliam Hyde, reporter of the Ee/iuhlii accompanied the leronauts; but should his weight prove an obstruction to the passage of the balloon, he will be landed at a favorable point, ami this course will be repeat- I ed, if nece-.-.-my to the accomplishment of the end in view, until all the party, excepting one, together with the b at. are landed —Mr. AVise being determined to reach the Atlantic coast, if such a thing is possible. A package con taining letters, St. Louis papers and wbsteru exchange papers, was sent by the U. S. express, which will be forwarded to their agent in New- York from whatever place the aeronauts alight. They are expected to reach some point on the sea-board between !> and 12 o’clock to-morrow Mr. Brooks, manager of the St. Louis Muse um, preceded the main party a few minutes in his balloon “Comet,"’ designing to accompany the “Atlantic"' a short distance, and to return in the moi niug. Tiio weather was favorable, and the balloon took a direction towards Lake Erie, but when last seen was pursuing a course almost due cast. Sandtsky City, Ohio, July 2.—The balloon “Atlantic” passed over this city at 7 o’clock this morning. Cincinnati, July 2.—The balloon passed 0 miles north of Fort AVayne, at 4 o’clock this morning. The small balloon was seen at the same time, a considerable distance south. The large balloon passed Fremont at 7, and San dusky at 730a. m. Its course was then due east. It is possible it took a north-easterly direction utter passing Sandusky, as nothing has been heard from it on the southern shore of Lake Erie. Cleveland, July 2.—The balloon passed Fairport, thirty miles east of this point, at 9.30 a. m., and was seen to nearly touch the water. It rose again and disappeared in a northeasterly direction. Sandvsky, July 2. —The aerial ship, Atlan tic, passed here at 7 o'clock this morning. Its course was east by north. A paper was drop ped from it, but it fell, nnlbi tuuately, into the lake. Only three persons were visible. The name of the ship was distinctly seen. New Y t obk, July 5. —The balloon from St. Louis landed on Sunday, July 3, at Henderson, Jefferson county, in this State. All four of the voyagers are well, ana are en route ivi ivv.. York. The point of landing is near AVater town, at the eastern extremity of Lake Onta rio. The distance trom St. Louis to this point, in a straight line, is about 900 miles.

As they trill in sweetest melody ; AVarbling gay in native strain, They too would join in harmony! Day of Freedom, all hail to thee! Thy acting heroes long have fled, But ever weaving in memory New homage to the ’lustrious dead!

Hail! my country’s morn of glory, AVith prowl heart I join the throng, In gladly raising anthems loudly— 'Tis glorious Freedom’s song!

MjYCOJSF, GEORGIA, JULY 16, 1859. From the ColumbuF Times. Opposition Convention—-3d DIS- TRICT. From the Macon State Press, we learn that j the Opposition convention, which assembled | at Forsyth on Tuesday, the 6th inst., nomina ted the Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., of Ma con, for Congress, in the ::.l District. This gentleman is one of the Representatives in the Georgia Legis’ature from the county of Bibb, and a man of fine social traits. Still, his cause and party affiliations are such as to deny to us all sympathy for his success. AVe think the opposition made a mistake in selecting a stan dard bearer from tho eastern portion of the District. The western section has always | brought up the majorities for the American party, and have never yet received the crumb of a reward for their zeal and devotion to their cause. AVhile we should have opposed the candidate chosen by the Opposition Conven tion, no matter from what end of the District he might be selected, yet we are satisfied that Harris or Upson county was entitled to the nomination. In the person of Col. D. P. Hill, the Opposition has always rallied strong in this portion of the District. The Opposition, however, do not value bis influence or count upon his numbers as the Democracy. AA’e promise to give Mr. Hardeman a manly, open, determined opposition, resorting to nothing that would wound his most delicate sensibili ties; but, believing that the Democratic flag, under an active leader, san be hoisted above the factions and light up the path to a glorious and triumphant victor.y Arrival of European Steamers. New Y’oiiK, July 7.—The European steam ships Vigo and Asia, arrived to-day. Their commercial intelligence has been anticipated, as also much of the interesting political news brought by those vessels. They bring Liver pool dates to the 25th June. In addition to what has already been pub lished of the Emperor Napoleon’s dispatch to the Empress, he says: “ AVe have taken all the enemy’s positions.” Much other inter esting intelligence is communicated in the Emperor’s dispatch, but it refers to matters which transpired previous to the battle. Garibaldi has continued to surprise the Austrian positions by his rapid movements, and setting the whole country in favor of the national cause. An outbreak at Padua, in favor of Sardinia, had occurred, but was at least temporarily, suppressed by the Austrians, and the city de clared in a state of siege. The Prussian Gazette officially says: The Prussian Government would be faithless to its 1 duty, and to the sense es the German nation, ' if she should neglect to act commensurately ' with that spirit by which Prussia has become ] great. Prussia is free from every engagement, and she obeys only these obligations which spring from the innermost nature of her State ■ interests. It will soon be seen whether Prns -!«’S illil'-'-'- - v- -rr-uAwUAU,. n»- ■ cessary weight by Germany. The same paper states that Prussia's policy stands firm; and whoever lays obstacles in its ' way, may consider that he is rendering service to the enemies of his fatherland. Attempts had been made at Rome, to dis play the tri-colored flag, but the efforts were suppressed by Guion. The Pope protests against the dismember ment of the Papal States; and he recently communicated to the Cardinals a letter from Napoleon, guaranteeing the independence of the States of the Church. It is said that the Pacha of Egypt refuses to send a contingent force to Ronmelia, saying that it is in consequence of the indecision of the Porte. The army, however, will be put on a war footing. Rebuction of Postage.—Notice is given that, on and after the first of July, instant, the postage upon letters transmitted in the Brit ish mail, via England, between the United States and Portugal. Madeira, the Azores, the Cape de Verd Islands, and all the other Por tuguese possessions on the const of Africa, i reduced as follows, prepayment of the postage being obligatory: For a single letter not ex ceeding a quarter of an ounce, twenty-nine cents; for a letter over a quarter ounce, but not exceeding half an ounce, thirty-seven cents ; for a letter over half an ounce, but not exceeding three-quarters, sixty-six cents; for a letter over three-quarters of an ounce, but not exceeding an ounce, seventy-four cents. Also, on adding eight cents for every addi tional quarter ounce, or traction thereof; and also twenty-one cents for every additional half ounce, or fraction thereof—which rates are in fell of the postage to destination. The office of Attorney for the State railroad has been abolished ; but whether the expenses incident to such an office, have been likewise abolished, remains to be seen. A SiNGt'i-AR Puophei v.—The following cu rious paragraph is from the Cologne corres pondent of the Continental Review : “ AVe may now afford to smile at the West phalian who lived some hundred and fifty years ago, and predicted a terrible European war, in the course of which the Turks should cool the feet of their horses in the Rhine. These things—thus runs the tradition —were to come to pass when carriages ran without horses, and the Prussian soldiers were dressed like the soldiers who crucified Christ. Car riages do rnn without horses, and the silhou ette of the Prussian soldier, in his tunic and helmet, is in all respects that of a Roman le gionary. But the superstitious who speculated on this singular prophecy, could never recon cile with it the decline of Turkish power, and manifest improbability of tho Sultan’s troops Harrying the standard of the Prophet to the banks of the Rhine. They forgot that France has Algerine regiments of Saphis and Zouaves, mid that many of them are as good Mussnl men as ever walked the streets ot Stamboul.” Significant—The Cambridge Chronicle says tha* a gentleman visited one of their fashionable built churches, for the purpose of worship, and on asking the sexton for a scat, he replied, “AA’e have plenty of scats to let, sir!” The sexton, however, notwithstanding ! his curt answer, condescended to show the : I stranger to a seat. At the close of the ser- ■ ! vices, the gentleman inquired for theTreasur- i I er of the Society, und ascertaining the price j for one year, he quietly handed hiin the I amount, with the request that tiie seat might 1 be “reserved for strangers!” Third Congressional District. In yesterday’s paper we copied an article from the Columbus Times in which its aid was promised to the Democratic party in the ap proaching Congressional election in this Dis trict. AVe are rejoiced to welcome to our ranks an ally so gallant and able, and with such help we are inspired with fresh courage that the democratic banner wi 11 be bravely borne through the contest, and in the adcs of October will be erowned with victory! In this matter wc are with our cotemporary “hand and glove;” for, while we admire Capt. Hardeman’s social traits—acknowledge his talents—and feel glad to count him among our friendo, yet we cannot without lossot self respect and dereliction to duty, sacrifice party principles to personal considerations. AVe therefore quote and endorse the senti ments of the Times, that, to the extent of our humble ability, “ AV’e pronise to give Mr. Hardeman a man ly, open, determined opposition, resorting to nothing that would wound his delicate sensi bilities ; but. believing that the Democratic flag, under sn active leader, can be hoisted above the factions and light up the path to a glorious and triumphant victory.” [communicated.] Messrs. Emtors—lt is understood that there will be a meeting of the Alumnae of the Geor gia and AVesleyaii Female College who reside here, or who happen to be in attendance upon the Coinmcreement Exercises of the ensuing week, forth« purpose of forming an Alumnae Association n connexion with the College, as well as to nuke arrangements for a general meeting of tie graduates, to take place at the commencement in 1860.

One additional case on the Pataula docket was dis posed of. Only one decision was pronounced this morning, that of— No. 17. Nathaniel Sledge, In error vs. from Peter McLarren. Muscogee. This was an action for the wrongful suing out an attachment by Dtft. in error against Pl’ff., and was upon the bond given by Pl’ff. in attachment under the statute and which attachment had been dismissed. The Court below charged the Jury “that in order to maintain this action the attachment must have been > led out maliciously and without probable cause, iiL-1 that the ouuff profrandt as to want of probable cause” was upon the Pl’ff. Held by the Court, that there was no error in this , 'h’”*j?“. «n,i further, if there had been error in the charge, inasmuch as the jury had found stout) dam ages for Pl’ff.—and thereby finding the want of prob able cause or otherwise disregarding the charge, the Court would not grant’a new trial for an errone ous charge that had not injured the Pl’ff., no motion for a new trial having been made. Judgment affirmed. Dougherty for Pl’ff. in error. Johnson A Sloan for Def’t. A Maine Vessel Chartered for a Slaver. AVe learn from Henderson & Co's Express that the brig Sampson, Capt. Emery, of South Thomaston. Me., arrived at Rockland on the 20th ultimo, from the coast of Africa, and re ported that she was chartered at Havana by two Spaniards to proceed to New York, and from there to the coast of Africa. After be ing out about two months, Capt. Emery, from movements of the Spaniards, and reports from some of the crew, that their chests contained handcuffs and firearms, had his suspicious aroused that the Spaniards’ object was to pro cure a cargo of negroes. Shortly after arriv ing on the coast, an English trigate came in, and the Spaniards left the brig at the earliest possible moment. Cap*. Emery immediately made known the facts to the frigate, and lay by her until after dark, when he got under way with but three men on board, and arrived at Rockland as before stated. The simplicity of Capt. Emery, taking this statement to be true, is quite refreshing. AVhy lie went to the coast of Africa, when he was chartered to proceed to New York, requires some explanation to add a color of plausibility to the story. — Boston Journal, July 1.

Dr. Frothingliiuii, ot Boston, now in Europe, und ot Charles Francis Adams, the son of John Quiucy Adams, and Represent* ttves to Congress from Massachusetts. The AVestern justices and the Dutch justices have been in the Drawer often. AVe are now to introduce one of these gentlemen from the State of A’ermont: Judge C , of Vermont, was fond of a joke when it could be “done” without special injury to public or individual rights. On one occasion, ns he was traveling towards the south- I ern part of the State to hold a term of Court in ! thecountyof AV ,he came to inpul lie house, | where a Justice’s Court was in session. As it was late, and the weather cold and wet, he concluded to put up for the night. Sending his horse to the stable, he entered the bar-room, which he found crowded with people, who seemed greatly exeited about the case on trial. He had thrown off his outer garments, and was composing himself before a good old-fashioned blazing fire, when a young man came up to him, and, bowing respectfully, asked his as sistance in the case. “ The evidence,” said he, “is all agin me ; but they say yer honor is death on des peril ca ses, and mine ain’t so bad as it might be, arter i all.” Upon inquiry, the Judge learned that his ap- ‘ plicaut had been arrested for wantonly upset- 1 ting a churn of sap in his neighbor’s sugar-lot. The youngster hud been caught in the very act by two respectable witnesses ; and thus tlieev- 1 ideuce was, as lie said, “clear agin him.” After hearing all the facts, the Judge inform- j ed him that it was really a desperate case; but he added, “I will watch the progress of the tri- i al. and if nn opportunity presents itself I will help you ” Accordingly, he threw opena door leading from his apartment to the room where j the trial was going un, and sat n careless spec tator of the proceedings. The counsel for the , State put in his testimony, and proved the charge conclusively. Thereupon the magis- I trate turned toward the respondent, and, with ; a stern voice, asked him if he had "got any ; thi»s O' BB y 1,1 1111 lu,[l “ *—“ I ny The prisoner was dumb, but looked im- , ploringly toward the Judge, who nt once arose, ; and approached the table at which the Justice was sitting. “Ye needn’t think ye can do any kinder good here ; for the mind of this ’ere Court is etur nally made up about this consarn, that I can i tell ye, mister.” “May it please your Honor,” said the Judge, bowing very gracefully, “it is no doubt true that the charge made against the respondent is j fully sustained by the testimony. Ido not de ny it: but, for all that, ho has u defense.” “A defense! AVhat on airth cun it be?” growled the Court. “ And, your Honor, it is this: I profess to know a little about law, having practised in that profession more than thirty years past, . especially the statute laws of Vermont. Now. your Honor, I may be mistaken, but I am eon- I fldent there is nothing in the statutes of A er niont against upsetting either an empty churn or a churn full of sap. I beg the Court not to r«ly upon my word ; but if yonr Honor is not satisfied upon this point, I would recommend an examination of tiie statues.” The counsel for the State arose to reply. “Stop ! stop!” vociferated the Court : “this , pint must be settled before we move another , inch.” And thereupon, seizing the statute- : book and turning to the index, he began search- I ing under the letter C for the word Churn.— ; Not finding it. he next looked under S for Sa]i. 1 Not finding "Sap,” he continued his search un- 1 der the letter I for Cpsettiny. Still unsuccess- ! ful, he looked under the title of ‘‘Crimes and | Misdemeanors.” Finally, he rumaged the book from beginning to end, and tindingit silent up on the subject of “upsetting churns,” he laid aside the book, and addressing the prisoner, said: “Young man, this ’ere Court is satisfied that there ain’t nothin' in the laws of A’ermont rgin tipping over a churn full of sap. There ain’t nothin’ about churns any way —nor sap nuth- I er. But I want ye should remember one thing, ' that this ere Court has made up his mind that j it's a very naughty trick, and it’s a shame that j there's so many maple trees in the State, and ( no law agin tipplin’ overthe sap.” AVhereup- 1 on the prisoner was released.— Harper's Month- I ly Magazine. A Million of Buffalo.—Horace Greely, writing from the Plains, makes the following estimate of the number of buffalo: AVhat strikes the stranger with most amaze ment, is their immense numbers. I know a million is a great many, but I am confident we saw that number yesterday. Certainly all we saw could not have stood on ten square miles of ground. Often, the country for miles, on either band, seemed quite black with them. The soil is rich, end well matted with their fair, favorite grass. Y'et it is nil (except a very little on the creek bottoms, near to tim ber,) eaten down, like an over-taxed sheep pasture in a dry August. Consider that wc have traversed more than one hundred miles in width, since we first struck them, and that they continue for some twenty-live miles far- . ther on—this being the breadth of their pres ent range, which has a length of perhaps a thousand miles, and you have some approach to an idea of their countless millions. I doubt whether the domesticated horned cattle of the United States equal the numbers, while they ■ must full considerably short in weight of these , wild ones. Clerical Anecdotes.—The San Jose Tri bune (California) tells this anecdote of a recent O enrrencc over that way: Rev. Moses Clampit, an eccentric preacher, was holding forth in Santa Clare A’alloy ; a' young man rose to go out. w hen the pieicher said: “Young man, if you’d rather go to hell I than hear me preach, you may go!” The sin- , ner stopped and reflected a moment, and then saying respectfully, “Well, Ibeliere 1 would," j went on. This has point, but we think another, for warded to us lately by n friend from Minneso ta, rather caps it.

An Elopement and a Fight ABOUT IT. New Orleans, June 18.—A young man of this city, a civil engineer by profession, ran I awny with a Mobile belle a few days ago, and thereby got himself into a scrape which came near causing bloodshed yesterday evening. It appears that the young man's family, al though of the highest respectability, is far be- I hind that of the young lady in the item of this j world’s goods, and hence her male relatives regarded the intimacy of the loving pair i (which has been of long standing) with grent disfavor. Her two brothers informed Mr. P. i that he must discontinue his visits, and warned l Inm that any overt act which should compro i niise their sister could be atoned for only with 1 his life. z This threat was probably instigated by a ! lurking suspicion of a contemplated elopement. Mr. P. is one of those young men who are rendered more determined and obstinate by resistance, and who become more sanguine of success exactly in proportion to the number and amount of obstacles thrust in their way. He laughed and snapped his fingers at the fire eating intimations of his proposed brothers in-law, and induces! his well-beloved to pack up her tilings in a bundle and meet him on board the mail boat for New Orleans, which departs at 2 p. m. ' She managed the affair cunningly, and they were well on their way to New Orleans by the time she was missed at home. The boat which leaves Mobile at 2 p. in. arrives, usually, at the lake end of the Pontchartrain Railroad next morning at daybreak, and no pursuit, there fore, could be made with any hopes of over taking the runaways under 48 hours from the time they had started. fhov —A -4? *L.I one very important consideration. The lady was not 18 years old, and therefore could not get, in New Orleans, a license to marry with out the consent of her parent or guardian.— Tiiis momentous fact was not ascertained until every other preparation for a hasty wedding had been made, and it gave her bloody-minded brothers time to appear upon the scene. They came, and immediately commenced an inspection of the hotel registers; but there they were at fault, for our candidate for mat rimony had plenty of relatives and friends here, and had taken his bride elect to the res idence of one of them. Yesterday evening, however, he happened unluckily to meet the vengeful brothers in a I>ar room, fa place where he had no business to be,) and they immediately drew their pistols and commenced firing upon him. Fortunate ly, a bold fellow who was standing by seized and disarmed one of them after he had tired the first shot, and Mr. P.. who was uninjured, had the other by the throat in an instant, and began to beat a tattoo against the counter with his head, exclaiming, “You d d puppy,” (not very complimentary to the family with which he proposed an alliance,) “if you were not my brother-in-law, I'd wring your worth less neck for you!” The young men, greatly discomfitted and chopfallen, left tjiie bar-room without their pistols, and I learned from a confidante of the I bridegroom that he left in company with the lady of his love at an early hour this morning on the Jackson Railroad, for some town in the interior of Mississippi, where they have prob ably become man and wife by this time.— Whether the brothers have concluded to let i the matter drop, or are still determined to push it to a bloody issue, I do not know’. The Austrian Fortresses.—We find in the Washington Intelligencer the following clear account of the famous quadrangle, into which the Austrians have retired : “Mantua lies in a little lake (seven miles long and one in breadth) formed by the river Mincio. The fortress is connected with the land by two long and narrow dams. On the north side the country is covered with reeds, which reach to the foot of the citadel. The south and west sides are protected by marshes, which may’ easily be set under water. The outworks are strong. A little flotilla covers the lake. Even with the most mediocre de fence the fortress could only be famished into surrender. “Yerona extends over either bank of the Adige, and is surrounded by a line of strong forts, which change it into a great fortified j camp, capable of holding from 50,(MM) to 70.- ' 000 men. Fourteen miles in advance of Ve- I rona, towards the Allies, lies a third fortress, i Peschiera, a kind of outwork of Yerona, al- | though by no means essential to its defence.— j It covers the right flank of the Austrians at Mantua, and helps to protect the defile of the I Adige. The distance of Peschiera from Man- | tua is 21 miles ; of Verona from Mantua about I 23 miles. There is still a fourth fortress, form ing a similar outwork of Mantua and Verona I against the Adriatic, Legnano, on the bend of the Adige. “ Os the two principal fortresses Mantua is 1 the stronger one. Peschiera is stragetically | the more important. Mantua and Peschiera defend the river Mincio; Verona is for both the central point, while blocking at the same : time the valley of the Adige as it leads up the Tyrolese Alps. Mantua and Peschiera alone would not prevent the enemy from passing the ' Mincio; but with Verona in their back the enemy is obliged to spend his whole force on the seige of cither fortress, which having fal len, Verona remains as strong us ever. The Austrian army, then, by making its stand, as undoubtedly it will do, and did in 1829, nt Verona, obliges the Allies to enter upon a dif ficult ami long siege, which will by no means lie second to that of Sebastopol. If sticces ful, it will be ut an enormous sacrifice.” PoaT-oFEi< i; Statistics. —The records of the General Post-office Department, show that, during the quarter which closed on the IMKh of June, the number of postage stamps issued was as follows : One cent stamps, 12,059,100; I three cent stamps, 36,601,800; five cent; ■tampe, 113,560; ten cent sltuiip*. 1,034,700; twelve cent stamps, 326,575.

A correspondent of the New Haven Regis ter, gives us some insight into the manner in which criminals and delinquents are punished ’ in the “Old North State.” He writes: The administration of justice in North Caro lina is less mild than in many of her sister States. Having no State Prison, the old pun ishments of the English common law are still inflicted—such as branding, whipping, crop ping the ears, &c. On a beautiful May morning I strolled into the temple where the goddess of the sword, and the scales, and the bandaged eyes is sup posed to preside. Tn one of the passages I en countered the high sheriff of the county, car rying a tinker’s furnace in one hand, and what seemed to me a soldering iron in the other. On inquiring whoso “gude wife’s” pans he was going to mend, he informed me that he was going to brand a man who had just been convicted of bigamy. A curiosity which I was ashamed of, but could not resist, led me into the room. I found it crowded. In a few minutes the judge entered, and, taking his seat upon the bench, with his hat on, (judges here sit covered.) ordered the crier to open the cort. That important functionary then stepped to an open window, put out his bend, and “ Oh, yes-ed” three times, and the “ Honorable the Superiour Court” was opened in due form. The prisoner was then brought in by the sheriff and an assistant, whereupon his counsel moved for a new trial, on the ground that the defendant had been unable to procure the attendance of all his witnesses. His honor inquired if he could give the requi site security. On being answered in the nega tive, “Then,” said bis honor, “let the sen tence of the court be executed forthwith.” The sheriff and his deputy then blindfolded the prisoner, tied his hands, and bound his head firmly to the bar. the sheriff applied it red hot to tfie cheek of the bigamist, burning a plain letter B, an inch and a half long, and nearly half an inch deep. The prisoner was then remanded to jail, where his head and hands were introduced into the pillory, and “ forty stripes save one,” were applied to his bare back, after which he was discharged. Every jail in North Carolina is provided with a whipping post, stocks, and pillory. Murder, rape, arson, burglary, and all the higher crimes and misdemeanors are punished with death; manslaughter by branding the letter M in the right hand. The convict's hand is bound, the bar and the branding iron held upon the palm until he can say “God save the State” three times. Theft, and mi nor offences by whipping, standing in the pil lory, or sitting in the stocks. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP lIUNG ARIAN. COTTON DILL AND UNCHANGED. Farther Point, (off Quebec,) July 8. —The steamship Hungarian has arrived with Liver- I pool dates to J tine 29. Commercial News. Liverpool, June 29. —Sales of Cotton for past three days 18,000 bales. The market closed dull but unchanged. Breadstuff's were declining. Provisions were reported dull. At London, Consols were quoted at 92 J- a 92}. SECOND dispatch. No movements of the contending armies are reported to have taken place since the battle of the 24th June. The details of the last battle have not been received, nor any estimate of the losses. The Austrians and Sardinians admit that their losses have been very great. Napoleon says, in a dispatch to Paris, that lie took six thousand prisoners, three flags, anil thirty cannons. The Austrians had recrossed the Mincio. Gen. Hess had been appointed coramanner in chief. The latest news from the army states that the French had crossed the Mincio. Strange Tribes of Indians.—An engineer connected with the Tehuantepec surveying pa r ty, states that in running his lines across the mountains, between Manatitlan and Tehuen- I tepee, he came across Indians who had never ! seen a white man in their lives, who spoke no I language known to his party, and were abso lute “ free lovers,”, living all together, and twenty or thirty men and women sleeping in one bed, and acknowledging a community of wives and properties. In another place he jiassed through a v illage where the Indians had light hair, fair complex ion, and blue eyes: and yet another town, where all the inhabitants were lepers, cover ed with that detestable plague. Such are h few of the human wonders to he seared up in this section, anil we only need a few trappers from among the Rocky Mountains to develop as great natural curiosities. A wan who had been delivered by the graije of God and the arrow of death from a termagent wife, placed over her remains this epitaph : “Stranger, lightly tread. For God’s sake let her lie, We live in peace since she is dead, liut hell is in a fry." Naturalized Citizens in Trouble..—The New Orleans Crescent saya Stanislaus Dein brenky, a native of Bohemia, some years since employed in a commercial house in this citv but lately engaged in horse trading in Mexico, returned to bis native country recently to seo his parents and bring them over to this coun try. He had scarcely reached his native vrl luge, when he was arrested and required to do military duty iu- an Austrian subject. He pleaded that ho was a citizen of the United States, (hav iug been for some time naturaliz ed,) ami wm laughed ut. He nas required to shoulder a musket, or puy six bundled guild ers lor die procuration o f a subslitule. He paid the money, and left w ith hi* parent* for this oouutry.
