In comparison with the forces engaged at Magenta, at the lowest unofficial estimate of their numbers, the armies which con tested some of the hardest fields of modern history, were but divisions and brigades. The combined forces of Bonaparte and Mc- las, at Marengo, amounted to hardly' more than half of the Austrian army at Magen ta. The great field of Austerlitz, that mir aclc of battles, as it has been called, was fought and won by rival hosts numbering, in all, 100,000 men. The battle of Magen ta must have arrayed, at least, a quarter of a million of men in hostile arms. It is otilv in the Napoleonic campaigns of 1809 and 1812, that wc can find any armies comparable, in numerical importance, with those now contending to decide the fate of Italy. The most hotly-fought fields of the Pe ninsula war and of the Crimea seems small in the presence of those masses of despe rate and determined valor. Inkerman was fought and won by an allied force hardly more numerous than the French divisions which defended Montebello on the 20th of May. Maida, that famous British battle, which did so much to cheer the dispirited British troops, and torc-assure.thcminthc prospect of meeting the Continental ar mies, was contested by forces inferior to armies engaged at our victory of Buena Vista. ft is true that the moral significance of conflicts is frequently out of proportion with the numbers engaged. The victories of Marengo, Maida, and New Orleans, avc signal illustrations of this fact But the magnitude of the interests at stake in the present Italian war, involving, as they do, the triumph of absolutist reaction or pro gressive independence oh the Continent of Europe, is not unworthily represented in this gigantic scale of the opposing arma ments; and if anything could reconcile us to such terrible scenes as arc brought be fore the imagination by the tidings of Ma genta, it should be the consideration that out of this carnage and calamity we may reasonably look for the restoration of a great people to permanent peace, honora ble industry, and the cause of civilized progress.

In a tent guarded by five Zouaves sat around a mosaic tabic General AVashing- ington, Mahouinicd and Julius C msar.— They were commanders of the allied forces at the seige of Jerusalem. It was evident from the appearance of the table, that they had been playing faro and drinking lager beer. “Hist!”suddenly exclaimed Gen. Wash ington pointfng his finger to his lips. “Aha !” quoth Mahomnied, spitting out a volume of the Koran, bearing the im print of Harper & Brothers. “Hum!” squeaked Julius Caesar, pla cing his finger to his nose a la Floience Hotel. A Zouave at this juncture put his head in the teat and said “the murderer of Dr. Burdcll is discovered.” “Then order the garrison to anus!” cried Gen. Washington, “and let the Mil- waukic Light Guard hold Pike’s Peak un til the Horace Grccly cavalry charge the Caucasians in the rear.” “Don’t you think, General -that if the Minnie battering-ram, such as I used with Nelson at Trafalgar, were ordered up it would be better,” said Julius Caesar. “Bring in Flora Temple, and I myself will ride to the scene of action,” exclaim ed Mahommed. “Bring me a Colt’s re volver and I will off.” “Hist!” said another Zouave, putting in his head, “it is not the murderer of Dr. Burdell it is the Blind Spy who approach es.” ~ / The allied Generals fell to the grodhi in a fit which was only relieved by the remarkable versatility of knowledge, a correct judgment, and considerable nerve. If you intrude upon him, you will discov er him writing, reading, scissoring. He will talk, but his pen does not stop; he spatters the ink; he fumbles over books ; he hunts among newspapers; he grows savage in a. “leader,” or he is learned in a “review.” Politicians want to buy him; needy artists ask his favorable notice; in vented have models to show him; some want to thank him—others desire to shoot him. He is addressed upon more sub jects than it was ever intended a single mind should comprehend: and while his journal is called by some “influential,” “valuable,” etc. there are those who blunt ly pronounce it “scurrilous,” and “poor.” Swimming upon floods of excitement,-bat tling, chafing, arguing, consenting, exalt ing friends and crushing foes, thinking, working, is the sum and substance of an editor’s career. At home, he writes with his wife at his elbow, and his child on his knee; in the streets, he weaves out those ideas which, in a few hours, will startle the men who now jostle and crowd him; crossln in his sanctum, he makes ready thunder bolts, moulded with a pen, but more pow erful than any ever hurled from Jove.— He delivers lectures; he is a politician; he holds office; he is a traveler; lie gives a verdict upon manuscripts which arc more precious than the apple of their eye to aspiring authors; he helps on the op era, he bolsters the drama; he pleads for the poor, hesnubs the rich; he conciliates, he defies; he arouses nations, he de thrones kings; he is the guardian of lib erty, and omnipotent. Up in garrets in out-of-the-way places — sometimes furnished like a parlor, some times worse than a pig-pen—is his sanc tum sanctorum, the “holy of holies.”— Are you partial to frowns ? Do you wish to hear a growl ? Disregard the notices of “Editor’s Room,” “Private,” “No Ad mittance,” and enter the'den; you ob serve the contracting brow; you do not know whether you arc saluted or insul ted ; your tongue proposes to speak, and your legs incline you to run away; a head lifts itself; a worn pen and inked fingers point you a seat, which it takes you but an instant to reach but, ere you have done so, the monster has his clutches so deep ly in an idea, that he has forgotten your existence. There yon sit; you try to count the pyramids of newspapers, and wonder if to be an editor, it is necessary- to be savage. You see books and maps; but you would as soon meddle with the cub of a hear as anything in which the wild animal before you has any interest. Del egations of “devils,” from the printing of fice, come for “copy,” and a great many things going on which arc strange to you. Other gentry come in, who glance con temptuously at yourself. They seat them selves, and you hear nothing but scratch, scratch, with gold pens, steel pens, and goose quills; they pull at their whiskers; they clear their throats; they look up at the ceiling; they help each other when their ideas run aground; they write and rewrite; they expunge and amend ; they become cheerful, if their productions please them, and crusty, if they do not— Now, remember that this mental toil must go on by day and by night, when the dizzy with sickness, and the heart Iry with sadness, that it entails study, From the Atlanta Intelligencer.

Presently, however he will talk to you; the wall on each side of the city was a street two hundred feet wide, and fifteen miles long, (the extent of the city) in length. The houses were built only one side of the street—oil the squares front ing the wall. The river Euphrates, or rather a branch of it, ran directly across the city, from North to South. A wall of the same thickness, and similar to that which sur rounded the city, was built on each side of the river. In these walls where the river was intersected by the streets, were massive brazen gates. From the several streets, there were gradual descents to the river, which was crossed in boats. Through these gates which were incautiously left open, Cyrus and his army entered, liav- .ing turned the course of the river, and took this splendid city. Such are some of the particulars which’ have been recor ded, relative to the once “golden city,” and “glory of kingdoms.” While her walls were echoing and re-echoing with the sounds of mirth and festivity, and when to all human appearance, they were destined to stand to the latest gen erations, Jeremiah prophesied, “that it should become desolated, that it should not he inhabited, that the teild beasts of the field should be there.” History has since confirmed the predic tion of the prophet Long before the Christian era, wc arc told that it had be came a place of “solitude,” and that it was lying waste, and neglected.” In the fourth century, we are informed that “its walls served as a fence and the city a park, in which the King of Persia kept teild beast for hunting.” A traveler in the twelfth century, found it overrun with serpents and scorpions. In 1843, another traveler states that its “ruins were so ef fected, that there were hardly any vesti- HAVE ATTAINED TOSUCII A CONDITION WHICH ENTITLES THEM TO ADMISSION AS A STATE, to decide for themselves the question of allowance or prohibition of domestic sla very.” From all this in connection with the de- cions of the supreme Court, substantial ly covering the same point, there is no room for doubt'as to what is the true con stitutional national, and Democratic doc trine in relation to the time when the people of a territory can legally and properly decide the question whether the institution of slavery shall not exist among them. It may not suit higher law and squatter sovereign demagogues; but it will be maintained by all who have patri otism enough to stand firmly by the Con stitution in all as the great street anchor of our Union.

Of these thirteen millions, only some eight millions are Germans. The entire population ot Prussia is some seventeen millions, but on ly thirteen millions are in Germany. Brides these two great powers there are thirty small States that hare a population of shunt sixteen millions in the aggregate. By the constitution of the Confederation, its whole forces are to be empl oyed in the defence of any German State which is invaded or menaced in its possession. The Germanic Confederation could bring to the aid of Austria a population of thirty three millions, and bring into line without much eff ort a half million of regular soldiers. It is to overawe and hold in check this immense pow er, that Napoleon has secured the alliance of Russia.

Speer accepts the gage of battle from Thos. Hardeman Jr. in the Third Congressional District. Both com batants are young men, both energetic, ardent, and each very popular with his part}'. This is the first race for congres sional honors ever undertaken by either, and hence the contest will, doubtless, en list a large amount of enthusiasm in their several behalf. In respect to native endowment avc may assume that they arc about equal, but in the matter of education and severe men tal training, Mr. Speer has largely the ad vantage over his competitor. The for mer is a lawyer and one of the most in dustrious members of that laborious pro fession. He has twice been chosen Clerk of the House of Rapresentativcs in our State Legislature, and could have held the office as long as the Democracy held the country. In the practice of law he has become well known throughout the District, and by his fine intellect, social qualities and moral hearing, has endeared himself to the people: # He is, moreover, a Democrat of the pure Southern Rights stamp, and will go as far as the boldest, in defending South ern institutions and Southern honor. In this respect lie lias an advantage over his opponent, lvhose ccord is not altogether unspotted.
