There are sometimes inherent causes of national, and equally so, of lineage de cline, which are not easily explained.— That Austria has long since entered on both of these, all well know. This power at one time held an equal sway with any of Europe; but now it has depreciated un- til it will require, like Rome, foreign, bay onets to keep up its throne. But there are in nations innate causes of decline, which no external aid can avert; and in the Austrian power nothing less than a radical change can re-invigorcte their monarchy. That Francis Joseph is deci dedly inferior to his ancestors, none can question. The most certain signs. of de cay, cither in national matters or lineage, is the absence of commanding abiiity to control great national affairs, and to con trol at home. The present position of Aus tria demonstrates the truth of this theory. While formerly she was powerful—had able military commanders, and was full of credit—now she has neither, nor has she able statesmen to govern her public coun cils. The tardiness of her movements, and the vacillations of her statesmen, since she has invaded Piedmont, show the incompctency of her commanders and the want of resolution in her cabinet This is clearly proven by the rejection of the last proposition of those powers of Europe to mediate—her peremptory challenge to Sardinia to lay down arms—and then her declaration of war, followed as it has been Cassville Female College.

MANY DEMOCRATS. May 26, 1859. Conventions. The word Convention as is known to us all simply means an assembling of per sons for a special purpose. At what pe riod of time they were established is not only uncertain but indefinite. With their origin we have now nothing lo do—suffice it to say they are of ancient origin. It is even difficult, with the best lights before us, to say at what period of time they were instituted. It' was a Democratic Convention that causod the American Re volution. Beyond this wc need not go. Since that time the same system has been regarded, and to a certain extent carried out. It is true that sometimes it has been unsuccessful, but Us failure has always resulted to the loss of the people. That there are objections to the present mode of appointing delegates to Conven tions, we will not deny, hut it behooves those who assail it to demonstrate beyond a doubt that their innovation on a long established custom is better, and free from all the trammels they urge against this system. Can they do it ? In this age when Young America seeks to rule, and men of their teens place old men’s heads on their shoulders, wc may well expect that they will seek, like a besom of destruction, to destroy all the ancient landmarks, and to stake new ones. The present mode of appointing dele gates by the people is much older than the present organization known as the Democratic party. Why, then, seek to disturb a custom which should be respect ed for its usage ? Why seek to render asunder the tics that have for years bound us together 2 If those who oppose Con ventions will give us a plan which is free from all objections, we will fall into it— until then wc shall abide the old style. As many defects as may exist in the present plan of .sending up delegates to Conventions, we have never heard one suggested but what has as many, if not more objections. It is urged against the which her geographical position gave her. Her tardiness has enabled her enemies to rally their forces, and she has been de feated on every field since the first. The final result will be the entire route of the Austrian forces, and their expulsion from all the Italian provinces, including Vene- tia-Lonibardo ; and it may be well if she ends the contest with this alone—for there is a probability that she may also lose Hungary, and a portion of her Eastern possessions. It will require a better equi poise in European affairs than dismem bered Germany, with Prussia at its head, to sustain France in her schemes. There is no question that it will be the policy of England to sustain Austria in her extremity, no less than it was to sup port Turkey in similar circumstances.— But the question which England’s finan ciering will first solve is, is “the game worth the candle?” Hence it may be that the sequel of the matters arising and to be enacted on continental Europe will show that Francis Josepii is much more the sick man than Scltan Moiiamed.

The citizens of this State who are slave holders have recently met in convention at Baltimore to devise ways and means to secure themselves against the abduction of their slaves. Delegates from all sections of the State, and among them are some of the most influential men, were in attend ance. The convention was organized by the election of Judge E. F. Chambers, President, H. S. Key, Esq. Vice President, and Col. Hughes, Secretory. The Presi dent on taking his seat made an address, in which he advised moderation and pru dence in the discussion of this delicate question, and said he had no doubt that harmony would prevail.

Meanwhile the rest of my division took up arms, and a battery of artillery (the 6th of toe 8th Regiment) marched at its head. Arriving at the bridge thrown across the brook called Fossagazza, the extreme limit of our front posts, I caused a section of artillery to be placed in battery, sup ported on toe right and left by two battal ions of toe Eighty-fourth, lining the brook with their sharpshooters. During this time the enemy had pushed ed on from Montebello to Ginestrello, and having been infonned that he was coming against me in two columns-one by the high road, the other along the trainway— I or dered the left battalion of the 74th to cov er the causeway at Cascina Nuova, and °f kindly warning, to that which I gave 2 medical colleges, 4 public schools, many common schools, 3 foundries, 2 dry docks, 2 ship yards, 1 car shop, 1 orphan house, 5 water works, 2 monuments, 2 city clocks, 1 custom house, and many other interes ting things too tedious to mention. The first monument was erected to Green and Pulaski, but not being satisfied with this arrangement, and the monument only be ing an ordinary one, the citizens deter mined to build an elegant one to the hon or of the Pole Pulaski, who spent his life blood in Savannah fighting for American liberty and Independence. On the North of the monument will be seen Savannah, October 9, 1779, eagle with open wings, though not stretched out, and also Pulas ki falling from his horse in military attire, which is indeed very impressive. On West name of Pulaski, South, eagle as on North, also the words “ Pulaski the heroic Pole, who fell mortally wounded, fighting for American liberty at toe siege of Savannah, 9th October, 1779.” In the Northwestern portion of the city, there is a reservoir which supplies the whole place with wa ter for common use. In the morning and afternoon you may see the citizens spout ing water ever the streets through the lea ther hose or tubes made for the purpose, which is indeed a great thing to lay the dust and to cool the air. These works cost I $250,000. j On Wednesday morning I left Savannah on the steamer Evefglade for this place, and arrived here at 4 o’clock next day.— I struck up with an old friend, formerly of Cassville, who lives in the interior of Florida. He gave me many items of toe country, which, I think, are correct He lives in Alatchaway, and says they will have chiOs, yet he continues to live there. Going down the river from Savannah, I passed Fort Jackson on the right, went round the Devil's Elbow, passed Warsaw or Thunderbolt as it used to be called, on | zation s ociety ^Jle^^ ^ ^ ^ muto respect, Monsieur le Marechti^ your but our means iff defence are exhausted, Mr Buchanan and Schooling the Af ricans. Veritas, an intelligent correspondent of Washington City, thus explains toe charge against Pres. Buchanan, for contracting with the Colonization Society to educate Africans: “I have investigated toe aistier thor oughly, and I assert upon toe author ity of the President of toe United States, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of toe Treasury, as well as that of Rev. Dr. Sampson, one of toe members of the Colonization Society, and one of commit tee of toe three who waited on the Presi dent for the purpose of negotiating toe terms of toe contract that was entered into between them, that there was not a dollar of toe amount $150 per head, paid for the education or schooling of any of the Echo’s negroes. I will further state, that the Colonization Society will not ex. pend one dollar of the amount for that purpose. They voluntarily agreed to “cause the children to receive schooling,” and this they did in the following man ner: as I learn from a conversation with the Rev. Dr. Sampson, one of the com mittee above mentioned. As soon as the negroes were landed in Liberia (as he says) toe other battalion to advance along the right of the road, behind the 84th. The movement was hardly over when a brisk fire along the whole line was open ed between our sharpshooters and those of the enemy, who was marching upon us, and supporting his sharpshooters by the heads of the columns issuing from Gines trello. The artillery opened fire upon them successfully, the enemy replying to it. I then ordered my right to move up to the front The enemy retired before the ardor of our troops, but perceiving that I had only one battalion to the left of the road, he sent a strong column against it. Thanks to the vigor and firmness of this battalion, commanded by Col. Cambriels, and to some fortunate charges of the Pied montese cavalry, admirably led on by Gen. de Sonnaz, the Austrians were obliged to retire. At this moment General Blanchard, fol lowed by the 98th and a battalion of the 91st, (the two others were at Oriolo, where they have had an engagement,) rejoined me, and received orders to proceed to the relief of the battalion of the 74th, charged with toe defence of the trainway, and to take up a strong position at Cascina Nu- ava. Reassured on this side, I again threw forward my right, and took, not, without serious resistance, the position of Gines trello. Judging, then, that by followin with the bulk of the infantry and line of hilltops, and the road with my artillery, protected by the Piedmontese cavalry, I should the more easily capture Montebel lo, I organized my columns of attack un der General Bouret’s command, in this way: The 17th battalion of chasseurs, sup ported by the 84th and 74th, disposed in echelons, moved on towards the south side of Montebello, where the enemy had en trenched himself. A hand-to-hand combat then ensiled in the streets of the village, which had to be carried, house after house. It was during this fight that General Bouret was mor tally wounded by my side. After an obstinate resistance the Aus trians were forced to yield to the vigor of our troops, and although strongly en trenched in the churchyard, this position they saw snatched from them at the point of the bayonet, amid cries of “ Vive l’Em- pereur!” a thousand times repeated. It was then half past six. I deemed it prudent not to push the success of the day any further, and halted my troops be hind the rising ground on which the church yard is situated, covering toe brow and four guns and numerous sharpshooters-— who drove back toe last Austrian columns into Casteggio. Shortly afta;- this I saw toe Austrian columns evacuate Casteggio, leaving in it a rear guard, and they retired along the Castaisma road. I cannot adequately praise, M. le Mare chal, the energy of our troops this day; all the officers, subalterns and soldiers have rivalled each other in ardor. Nor will I forget the officers of my staff who have ably assisted me. I shall have the honor of addressing to you later the names of those who have particularly distinguished themselves. I do not yet know the exact amount of our loss; it is great, especially in superior officers. I estimate it approximative^ at 600 or 700 men, killed or wounded. The loss of the enemy must have been very considerable, to judge from toe num ber that have been found, especially in the village of Montebello. We have made about two hundred you six months ago. I will merely call to your attention one memorable and striking event, so appro priate to this melancholy occasion, which the pen of inspiration has left on record,, doubtless for the encouragement of men in like unhappy condition with yourself. When the Savior of the World was nailed to the cross, there were two malefactors executed with him, at toe same time and in the same manner. One of them, as I am authorized by the sacred narrative to- say, was doomed to eternal tortures, where he has been lingering, without hope, for more than eighteen hundred years. The other has been for the same length of time, in the enjoyment of happiness, of which our finite understanding can form no con ception. From what cause, think you, resulted! this momentous contrast in their destinies ? Their career in life had been the same;— marked with the same bloody crimes and: lawless violence. The mysterj- is all ex plained by the fact, that the former died the same bold, reckless, heaven-daring blasphemer that he had lived, while the other, by an humble confession of his guilt and of the justice of his sentence—by heart-felt repentance, and a prayer of faith for mercy, obtained the full remission for all his long black catalogue of crimes, and the promise of his Savior that he should be with him that day in Paradise. Here are two examples, in the most ex pressive contrast, set before you, and it is yours now to make the choice. Let ms most earnestly and kindly entreat you to choose that which I know your judgment and your conscience approve, and thus save your immortal spirit from the yawn ing jaws of destruction. Your eternal destiny for weal or woe— hangs on the few fleeting golden moments of life yet allowed you.
