with the rnuman Army ■
Horitz. July 3, 11 P. M-On Monday
the 2d of July, Prince Frederick Charles
halted with the First Army at Kummemtz,
in order to allow the Crown Prince time to
come up to Mile tin. a town five miles east
of the village of Ivommenitz, and to get
information of the movements of the Aus
trians. That afternoon lie sent out two of
ficers to recoinnoitre beyond Horitz; both
fell in with Austrian troops, and had to
fight and ride hard to bring their informa
tion home safely. Maj. Von Ungar, who went
in the direction of Konniggratz, escorted by
a few dragoons, came upon a large force of
Austrian cavalry and daggers before be got
to the little river Bistntz, over which
the road from Horitz tw Konniggratz,
crosses, about half way between those two
towns. A squadron of cavalry made an
immediate dash to catch him, and he and
his dragoons had to ride for their lives;
the Austrians pursued, and those best
mounted came up to the Prussians, but not
in sufficient numbers to stop them, and
alter a running skirmish, in which Von
linear received a lance thrust in the side
which carried away most of his coat, but
hardly the skin, this reconnoitering party
safely gained the outposts of their own
army. More on the Prussian right the
other reconnoitering officer also found the
Austrians in force, and was obliged to re
tire rapidly. From the reports of these
officers, and from other information, Prince
Frederick Charles determined to attack, so
last night he issued orders for the immedi
ate advance of his own army beyond Ho
ritz, and sent Lieutenant Von Normand
with a letter to the Crown Prince, asking
him to push forward in the morning from
Miletin and attack the right flank of the
Austrians, while he himself engaged them
in front. There was some fear that the
Austrian cavalry patrols and detachments
which were prowling about would intercept
the aide-de-camp and stop the letter, but
Von Normand succeeded in avoiding them,
and got safely to the Crown Prince’s head
quarters at 1 o’clock this morning, and re
joined Prince Frederick Charles at 4 to re
port the success of liis mission, and to
bring to the leader of the First Army an
assurance of the co-operation of the Sec
ond. Had this aide-de-camp been taken
prisoner or killed on liis way to Miletin, liis
loss would have probably influenced the
whole campaign, for on that letter depend
ed in a great measure the issue of to-day’s
battle.
Long before midnight the troops were
all in motion, and at half past one in the
morning the General Staff left Kommenitz.
The moon occasionally shone out brightly,
but was generally hidden behind clouds,
and then could he distictly seen the decay
ing bivouac fires in the places which had
been occupied by the troopsalong the road.
These fires looked like large will-o’-the
wisps as their flames flickered about in the
wind, and stretched for many a mile, for
there are 150,000 soldiers with the First
Army alone, and the bivouacs of so great a
force spread over a wide extent of country.
Hay gradually began to dawn, but with the
first symptoms of sunrise a drizzling rain
came on, which lasted until late in the af
ternoon. The wind increased and blew
coldly upon the soldiers, for they were short
of kith sleep and food.
At daybreak the troops had taken up
their positions to attack the Austrians,
The main body of the army was at Molo
witz, a village on the road from Hoeitz to
Konniggratz: the 7th Division under Gen
end Fransky, was at Cesekwitz on the left
and the 4th and sth Divisions at the vil
lages of Bristau and Psauch on the right,
while General Von Bittcrtield with the
Bth and part of the 7th Corps d’ Armee
was sent to the town of Neubiusaw, on the
extreme right, ten miles from Milowitz.
About 4 o’clock the army began to ad
vance, and marched slowly up the gentle
hill which leads from Molowitz to the vil
lage of Dub,'five miles nearer Konniggratz.
Inc corn lay heavy and tangled from the
rain upon the ground : the skirmishers
pushed through it nimbly, but the battal
ions which followed behind in crowded
columns toiled heavily through the down
beaten crops, and the artillery horses had
to strain hard on their traces to get the
wheels of the gun-carriages through the
stickly soil. At 6 the whole army was
close up to Dub, hut it was not allowed to
go on the summit of the slope, for the
ridge on which Dub stands had hidden all
its motions, and the Austrians could see
nothing of the troops collected behind the
crest, and perhaps thought that no Prus
sians were near them, except ordinary ad
vanced posts; for the cavalry videttes
which had been pushed forward thus far
over night remained on the top of the
ridge, as if nothing were going on behind
them.
From the top of the slight elevation on
which the village of Dub stands, the
ground slopes gently down to the river
Bistritz, which the road crosses at the vil
lage ol Sadowa. a mile and a quarter from
Dub. From Sadowa the ground again
rises beyond the Bistritz, and to the little
village of Lissa, conspicuous by its church
tower standing at the top of the gentle
hill, a mile and half a from Sadowa. A
person standing this morning on the top of
the ridge saw tot down below him, built of
wooden cottages, surrounded by orchards
and could distinguish among its (houses
several watermills, but these were not at
Work, for all the inhabitants of the village
had been sent away, and a white coat here
and there among the cottages was not a
peasants blouse, hut was the uniform of an
Austrian soldier. Three-quarters of a
mile down the Bistritz a big red brick house,
with a high a brick chimney near it, look
ed like a manufactory, and some large
wooden buildings alongside it were unmis
takably warehouses, close to these a few
wooden cottages, probably meant for the
workers employed at the manufactory, com
pleted the village of Doliilnitz. A little
more than a mile still further down the
Bistritz stood the village of Mokgoweus,
like most Bohemian country villages, built
of pin wood cottages euclustered in orchard
trees. The chateau of Dohalicha stands
midway between Doliilnitz and Mokrowens
as a knoll overhanging the river. Behind
Dohilntiz and between that village
and the highroad which runs through
Sadowa, there lies a large thick woods.
Many of the trees had been cut down
about 10 feet above the ground, and the
cut down branches had been twisted to
gether between the standing trunks of the
trees which were nearest to the river, to
make an entrance into the wood from the
front extremely difficult. On the open
slope between Doliilnitz and Dohalicha
along the ground, there seemed to run a
dark dotted line of stumpy bushes, hut the
telescope showed that these were guns,
and that this battery alone contained 12
pieces. Looking to the left, uo the course
of the Bistritz. the ground was open be
tween the orchards of Sadowa and the
trees which grow around Benatek, which
marked the right of the Austrian position,
except where, midway between those vil
lages, a broad belt of lire-wood runs for
three quarters of a mile. Above and be
yond these villages and woods in the course
of the river, the spire of Lissa was seen,
below it a few houses, gardens, and patches
ot fire-wood and a little to the left, rather
down the hiil. were seen the cottage of the
hamlet ol Chisliwes. The air was thick
and hazy, the rain came down steadily,
and the wind blow bitterly cold, while the
infantry and artillery were waiting behind
the brow of the hill near Dub. At seven
o clock Prince Frederick Charles pushed
forward liis cavalry and horse artillery.
1 hey moved down the slope towards the
Bistntz at a gentle trot, slipping about on
the greasy ground, but keeping most
beautiful lines; the laneh flag on the
Uhlans, wet with the rain, flapping heavily
against the staves. At the bottom of the
hill the trumpets sounded, and in making
their movements to gain the bridge the
squadrons began wheeling and hovering
about the side of the river, as if they
courted the fire of the enemy. Then the
Austrian gun.- opened upon them from a
buttery placed in a field near the village at
which tne main road crosses the Bistritz,
and the battle of Sadowa began.
* The first shot was fired arjout half-past
7. The Prussian Horse Artillery, close
down to the river, replied to the Austrian
guns, but neither side fired heavily, and
for half an hour the cannonade consisted of
hut little more tiian single shots. At a
quarter before 8. the King of Pru.-sia ar
rived on the field, and very soon after the
Horse Artillery were reinforced by other
field batteries, and the Prussian gunners
began firing their shells into the Austrian
position. But as soon as the Prussian
fire actively commenced, Austrian guns
seemed to appear, as if by magic, in event
] joint of the position; from every road,
1 font every village, from the orchard of
Mokrowens, on the Prussian right, to the
orchard of Benatek, on their left, came
flashes of fire and whizzing rifle shells,
which, bursting with a sharp crack, sent
their splinters rattling among the guns,
gunners, carriages, and horses, often kill
ing a man or horse, sometimes Tlismount
ing a gun, but always ploughing up the
earth and scattering the mud in the men’s
faces. But the Austrians did not confine
themseves to firing on the artillery alone,
for they threw their shells up the slope op
posite to them towards Dub, and one shell
came slap into a squadron of Uhlans, who
were close beside the King; burying itself
with a heavy thud in the ground, it blew
up columns of mud some 20 feet in the air,
and, bursting a moment after, reduced the
squadron by four files.
As soon as the cannonade in front became
serious, the guns of the 7th division began
to bombard the village of Benatek, on the
Austrian right. The Austrians returned
shot for shot and neither side either gained
or lost ground. In the centre, too, the
battle was very even; the Prussians pushed
battery after battery into action, and kept
up a tremendous fire on the Austrian guns,
but these returned it and sometimes with
interest, for the Austrian artillery officers
knew their* ground and every shell fell true;
many officers and men fell, and many horses
were killed or wounded. More Kranken
tragers were sent down to the batteries,
and always returned carrying on stretchers
men whose wounds had been hastily bound
up under fire, but who seemed to be too
much stunned to suffer much from pain.
Gradually the Prussian cannonade ap
peared to get stronger, and the Austrian
batteries between Doheinizt and Dohalicha
retired higher up the hill; but the guns at
Mokrowens still stood fast, and the Prus
sians had not yet crossed the Bistritz ; but
many guns were now turned on Mokrowens,
and at ten o’clock the battery there was
also obliged to retire a little.
While this cannonade had been going
on, some of the infantry had been moved
down towards the river, where they took
shelter from the fire under a convenient
undulation of ground. The Bth Division
came down on the left-hand side of the
causeway, and, under the cover of the
rising in the ground, formed its columns
for the attack on the village of Sadowa;
while the 3d and 4th Divisions, on the
right-hand side of the road, prepared to
storm Dohelnitz and Mokrowens. But a
little before their preparations were com
plete, the village of Benatek, on the Aus
trians’ right, caught fire, and the 7th Divi
sion made a dash to secure it, hut the Aus
trians were not driven out by the flames —
and here for the first time in the battle was
there hand to hand fighting. The 27th
Regiment led the attack, and rushed into
the orchards of the village, and burning
houses separated the combatants, they
poured volley after volley at each other
through the flames; but the Prussians
found means to get round the burning
houses, and taking the defenders in reverse,
forced them to retire with the loss of many
prisoners.
It was ten o’clock when Prince Freder
ick Charles sent General Stuhnapl to order
the attack on Sadowa, Dohelnitz, and
Mokrowens. The column advanced cover
ed by skirmishers and reached the river
bank without much loss, hut from where
they had to fight every inch of their way.
The Austrian infantry held the bridges and
villages in force, and fired fast upon them
as they approached. The Prussians could
advance hut slowly along the narrow ways
and against the defences of the houses, and
the volleys sweeping through the ranks
seemed to tear the soldiers down. The
Prussians fired much more quickly than
their opponents, but they could not see to
take aim; the houses, trees, and smoke
from the Austrian discharges shrouded the
villages. Sheltered bv this, the Austrian
Jagers fired blindly, and the Prussians could
tell, by hearing, where the attacking
columns were, and the shots told tremen
dously on the Prussians in their close for
mations; but the latter improved their
positions, although slowly, and by dint of
sheer courage and perseverance, for they
lost men at every yard of their advance,
and in some places almost paved the way
with wounded. Then, to help the infantry,
the Prussian artillery turned its fire, re
gardless of the enemy’s batteries, on the
villages, and made tremendous havoc
among the houses. Mokrowens and Do
liclnitz both caught on fire, and the shells
fell quickly and with fearful effect among
the defenders of the flaming liamlets; the
Austrian guns also played upon the attack
ing infantry, but at this time these were
sheltered from their fire by the houses and
trees between.
In and around the villages the fighting
continued for nearly an hour;. then the
Austrian infantry, 'who had been there,
driven out by a rush of the Prussians, re
tired, but only a little way up the slope
into a line with their batteries. The wood
above Sadowa was strongly held, and that
between Sadowa and Benatek, teeming
with riflemen, stood to bar the way of the
7th Division. But Gen. Fransky, who
commands this Division, was not to be
easily stopped, and he sent his infantry at
the wood and turned his artillery on the
Austrian batteries. The 7th Division be
gan firing into the trees, but found they
could not make any impression, for the de
fenders were concealed, and musketry fire
was useless against them. Then Fransky
let them go, and they dashed in with the
bayonet, The Austrians would not retire,
but waited for the struggle, and in the
wood above Benatek was fought but one of
the fiercest combats which the war lias
seen. The 27th Prussian regiment went
in nearly 3,000 strong, with 90 officers,
and came out on the further side with only
two officers and between 300 and 400 meii
standing; all the rest were killed or wound
ed. The other regiments of the division
also suffered much, but not in same pro
portion ; but the wood was carried. The
Austrian line was driven in' on both flanks,
but its commander formed anew line of
battle a little higher up the hill, round
Lissa, still holding the hill which lies above
Sadowa.
Then the Prussian artillery was sent
across the Bistritz. and began to fire upon
the new Austrian position.' At the same
time the smoke of General Herwarth’s ad
vance was gradually seen moving towards
the Austrian left: for he had at Nechanitz,
a village about seven miles lower down the
Bistritz than Sadowa, found a brigade of
Saxon troops, with some Austrian cavalry,
and was driving them towards the position
at Lissa. himself following in such a direc
tion that it appeared he would turn the
Austrian left flank. But the Austrian
Commander seemed determined to hold his
position, and heavy masses ofinfantry and
cavalry could bo seen on the upper part of
the slope-
The Prussian infantry, which had taken
the villages of Sadowa and Dohelnitz. was
now sent against the wood, which, above
these places, runs along the side of the
Sadowa and Lipa road. _ They advanced
against it. but did not at first make much
impression, tor. the Austrians being here
again concealed, the fire of the needle-gun
did not a whole batten* pWd at
the far end of the wood fired through the
trees, and told on the Prussian ranks with
awful effect. But the assailants fought
on, at last broke down the obstacles at the
entrance, and then dashed in. The fight
ing continued from tree to tree, and the
Austrians made many a rush to recover
the lost position of the wood, but in this
close fighting their boyish troops went down
like ninepins before the strong men of the
Bth Division; hut when the defenders drew
back a little, and their artillery played into
the trees, the Prussians suffered fearfully,
and about half way up in the wood the
fight became stationary.
At this time the Austrian artillery were
making splendid practice, and about one
o’clock tne whole battle line of the Prus
sians could gain no more ground, and was
obliged to fight hard to retain the position
it had won. At one time it seemed as if it
would be lost, for guns had been dis
mounted by the Austrian fire, and in the
wooded ground the needle-gun had no fair
field, and the infantry fight was very
equal.
Then Prince Frederick Charles sent the
sth and Gth Divisions forward. They laid
their helmets and knapsacks on the ground,
and advanced to the river. The King was
near to Bistritz, and the troops cheered
him loudly as they marched into the bat
tle. They went over the Sadowa bridge,
disappeared into the wood, and soon the
increased noise of musketry told they had
begun to fight : but the Austrian gunners
sent salvo after salvo among them, and
they did not push the battle forward more
than a few hundred yards, for they fell
back themselves, and they could not reach
the enemy. Not only the fragments of the
shells fly about among them, scattering
death and awful gashes among their ranks,
but the portions of the trees, torn by the
artillery fire, flew thickly about, huge, rag
ged splinters, that caused even more fright
ful wounds.
Herwarth, too, seemed checked upon
the right. The smoke of his musketry
and artillery, which had hitherto been
pushing forward steadily, stood still for a
time. Fransky’s men cut to pieces, could
not be sent forward to attack the Sadowa
wood, for they would have exposed them
selves to have been taken in rear by the
artillery on the right of the Austrian line
formed in front of Lipa, All the artillery
was engaged except eight • batteries, and
these had to be retained in ease of _ a re
verse, for at one time the firing in the
Sadowa wood, and of the Prussian "artil
lery on the slope, seemed almost drawing
hack towards Bistritz. The First Army
was certainly checked in its advance, if not
actually being pushed back. Then the
Prussian commanders began to look anx
iously to the left for the coming of the
Crown Prince. Some Austrian guns near
Lipa were seen to be firing towards the
Prussian left, and was hoped they might
be directed against the advanced guard of
the Second Army, but at 3 o’clock there
were no signs of Prussian columns ad
vancing against Lipa. The Generals be
came manifestly uneasy, and they drew
the infantry out of the battle, cavalry was
also formed up, so that it would be avail
able either for the pursuit of the Aus
trians, or for retarding their pursuit, and
Gen. Von Rhetz himself went off to look
for the Second Army. But he soon return
ed, and brought the intelligence that the
Crown Prince was forming his attack on
Lipa, and that the guns on the Austrian
right had been firing against his troops.
Then the First Army took heart again.
Tlie Sadowa wood was carried, and the
battery beyond it was stormed by the
Jagers. At halt-past 3, the Crown Prince’s
columns were seen moving across the slope
against Lipa, for his artillery had 'silenced
the Austrian guns, and Herwarth was
again pressing forward against the Aus
trian left. In a quarter of an hour the
Crown Prince’s infantry was engaged at
Lipa, and their quick volleys of musketry,
rapidly advancing, told that the Austrians
were in full retreat. The First Army pushed
forward at once, the artillery limbered up
and galloped up the slope, coming into
action on every opportunity to send its
shells against the retreating battalions, the
infantry, emerging from the woods, formed
and pressed at the double. Prince Frede
rick Charles put himself at the head of his
regiment, and dashed over the Sadowa
bridge and up the road, followed by all his
light cavalry.
On gaining the top of the Lipa slopes
the retreating battalions of the Austrians
were seen running across a hollow in the
ground which lies between Lipa and the
village of Streselitz, which lies _ about two
miles further south. The Prussian artillery
halted on the summit of the Lipa hill and
fired shells rapidly, which burst with terri
ble precision over the heads of the fugitives.
The cavalry fled forward in pursuit, but
the Prince after leading a short way, had
to go to superintend the general movement,
for the Austrian batteries had taken post
on the Streselitz ridge, and were firing
heavily against the pursuing Prussians.
Then the cavalry got out of hand, and by
small detachments rushed on the Austrian
battalions ; but these, though retreating
fast, were not routed, and in many in
stances beat off the cavalry, who also suf
fered much from the Austrian artillery, for
the shells burst repeatedly among the
squadrons, and killed many men and horses.
But the Austrian guns were driven off
their ridge by the heavier fire of the more
numerous Prussian batteries, and then
the pursuit was renewed. Some of
the retreating Austrians made for the for
tress of Koniggratz, others for Pardubitz,
and troops were sent in pursuit along both
roads. The wounded who were lying on
the ground shrieked with fear when they
saw the cavalry galloping down towards
them, but Prince Frederick Charles took
care that they should be avoided, and at
one time checked the pursuit, in order to
move his squadrons around, and not go
through* a patch of standing corn, where
several wounded Austrians had taken
refuge. These, when they saw Lancers
coming, thought they were going to be
massacred, and cried piteously, waving
white handkerchiefs as a sign of truce; hut
they had no cause to fear. Large numbers
of prisoners were taken, for the pursuit
was continued to the Elbe, and it was not
till 9 o’clock that the firing ceased, but the
main body of the army halted about 7. —
As the Princes returned the battalion
cheered them for their victory; but they
left the pursuit of their enemies and the
cheers of their own victorious troops to look
after the hospital accommodation provided
for the wounded.
These lay in immense numbers in the
field; the dead, too, laid thick, but all that
they require will be done to-morrow.
Every cottage in the neighborhood that has
not been burnt is full of wounded. Aus
trians aud Prussians lie side by side, but
the Ivrankentrager are still out, and all will
not be collected until late to-morrow morn
ing. Conspicuous in the hospitals, work
ing diligently in their voluntary labor, are
the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem.
This Order of Knighthood, renewed lately
for the succor of the weak and suffering,
has sent here a large hospital establish
ment, under the direction of Count Theo
dore Stolberg. From the voluntary contri
butions of the Knights, hospitals are main
tained in the nearest towns and in the field
all necessary hospital stores are carried by
the Order, and means of transport accom
pany the army, hospital nurses are pro
vided. and by their aid many wounded are
carefully attended who could not be looked
after by the ordinary arrangements.
The battle of Sadowa has been a great
victory to the Prussian army : the troops
fought with the most determined courage,
they stood for hours under a terrible fire,
for there are supposed to have been nearly
1.500 guns in action, of which 750 were
Prussian. The immediate cause of the victory
was the Crown Prince’s attack on the Aus
trian left flank, which turned the position,
hut the attack in front had a great effect
on the issue ; as unless it had been steadily
maintained, the Austrians might have re
pulsed the attack on flank.
It is the opinion of the Prussian Generals
that the Austrian retreat was most skillful,
aud that their artillery was excellently
handled.
The number of troops engaged on the
Prussian side was about 250,000. The Aus
trians are supposed to have had almost an
equal number. No details have yet been
received of the number of killed, wounded
or priso ners.

And see! that patriot’s spirit melt
For his wrong’d native land :
Ah ! keen the worshipper felt

The crops of wheat in Rockingham and
Augusta counties, Va.. are turning out
better than was expected.
The wheat in Virginia will average about
sixty-three pounds to the bushel this year,
and will be a great deal better than last
year’s crop. Tt is also said that about
three-fourths of an average tobacco crop
will be raised this year.
Accounts of the crops in Wisconsin,
lowa and Northern Illinois are favorable.
Most of the wheat has been harvested in
excellent condition, and is abundant in
quantity. The prospects of corn are unu
sually promising.
A Beaufort (South Carolina) correspon
dent writes as follows: The cotton crop
promises to be the finest for many years.
The planters have placed under cultivation
a larger portion of their land than for a
number of years past, and reports received
from reliable sources speak of a very heavy
yield of the staple.
There has been an abundance of rain re
cently throughout this section of the State.
The crops which were almost ruined, have
revived, and there is now a fair prospect
of an average yield. If there should he a
dry fall, and no frost before November, we
anticipate a heavy cotton crop on the up
lands. — Marshall, Texas, Republic.
Tiie Wheat Crop. —We are now pret
ty well posted from all sections of the
country in regard to the wheat crop just
harvested and the conclusion is, that while
it falls short of an average of other days,
as regards quantity, it is tar in advance of
the crops for some years past, and of ex
cellent quality. There is an abundance for
every domestic demand, and a good sur
plus for exportation. The currency being
equal, flour ought to, and will, he consider
ed cheaper.— [Macon, (Ga.) Telegraph.
Wheat. —Wheat declined in twenty-four
hours in St. Louis, 27 cents per bushel, last
week. It is a little difficult to get the real
hang of the new crop yet. From some
sections of the country we hear it is first
rate, really No. 1 ; in others, it is repre
sented to be light, and the grain poor. So
far as this particular section is concerned,
the yield is not so large as expected, though
the grain is generally regarded as good.
We believe the price paying here for a fair
merchantable article, is two dollars per
bushel. — Chattanooga Union.
The Galveston News of the 16th says :
“A large planter on the Brazos informs us
that he expects to make 350 hales of cot
ton from 450 acres. Also 300 hogs
heads of sugar from a somewhat larger
area of land. He thinks he will make 6,000
bushels of corn from 150 acres, or about
forty bushels to the acre. He works now
about sixty hands, though commenced with
eighty hands, yet, the sixty, now, under
the policy of General Kiddoo, do far more
' work than the eighty did under General
Gregory’s rule.”
Foreign Summary.
The cholera has broken out at St. Peters
burg.
A second conscription has been ordered
to take place in Hungary.
The draft of the proposed modifications
in the French Constitution has been pre
sented to the Senate.
The Bavarian army had entered the Ty
rol and was proceeding in the direction of
Italy.
Bresica, July 6. —Two Austrian gun
boats have been repulsed in an attack on
Gargamo, Lake Garda.
The King of Prussia had ordered the re
lease of all the Austrian prisoners, on giv
ing their parole not to serve again during
the war.
The municipality of Florence has pre
sented an address to the Prussian Embas
sador, congratulating him on the Prussian
victories, and the city is decorated with
flags in honor of them.
A dispatch of the sth, from the Italian
headquarters; says: “Considering it expe
dient to deprive the Austrians of the tete
du pent at Borgoforte, on the right bank
of the Po, we have commenced operations
for an attack.”
Severe engagements have taken place
between the Prussians and Bavarians near
Dermbach, in Saxe-Wermer, in which the
latter were repulsed, and the Prussians oc
cupied Dermbach in force. The Prussians
captured eight positions, and were ad
vancing victoriously.
The London Times , of the 7th, says there
is too much reason to fear that hostilities
will be resumed in both the theatres of war.
If so, Austria will be unable to withdraw
any considerable number of troops from
Yenetia, and unless sheltered by the aegis
of France, may soon be compelled to hear
terms of peace dictated by Prussia in her
own capital.
The Florence journals consider the Aus
trian proposals inadmissible. They re
gard the cession of Yenetia as a strategem
to isolate Prussia, enabling Austria to re
sume hostilities against Italy. They de
clare that Italv will not lend herself to
such proceedings. _ The cession of Yenetia
to France with a view to its subsequent
cession to Italv, would be a violation of
national rights and submission to a for
eigner. Italy will owe Venice to her arms
alone.
... The Daily News compares the cession of
V enetia to France as an act of a debtor
who makes away with his property when
, t!ie , e 3' e of bankruptcy. There is a want
of frankness about the Austrian Govern
ment that is fitted to exasperate Prussia.
If Austria wants the army corps in Italy
near V enetia to make better terms. Prussia
cannot be expected to aid her in setting
them at flinty. There is no doubt but
that the refusal of French mediation would
be a very serious event, but it would not be
safe to conclude too abruptly that the pow
erful word of Napoleon will instantly re
store peace in Europe.
The hines remarks, the next questions
are whether the Emperor Napoleon will
back his tender of good offices by a threat
of armed interference, and whether, in any
event, he will be contented with part stake
holder or wih act upon principles appar
ently foreshadowed in his letter to 31.
Drouyn de 1 Huys ? Does he regard him
sdf as simple trustee of Yenetia for Italy,
or will he make his own terms before trails
ferring it ? Will he submit to witness the
aggrandizement of Prussia in Northern Eu
rope without demanding anv fresh rectifi
cation of the Eastern frontier of France?
Or will he invite the Great Powers to aid
in anew partition of the Continent, based
on the rights of nationalities and national
boundaries?

*******
(From Rev. W. P. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration c*
the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your
Hoofiand’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who
-had tried them, and whose favorable mention or these Bitters
induced me to try them. 1 must confess that 1. had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten
dency of which, 1 fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
I took it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon tne nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. 1 feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit
ffrom the use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully yours, W. D. .Seigfried,
No. 254 Shackamaxon street.
Jk. '
(jom the Rev. E. Dr. Fendall, Assistant EdltorJChristia
Chronicle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived decided benefits from the use of Hoofiand’s
German Bitters, and feci it my privilege to recommend them as
a most valuatle tonic to all who are suffering from a general
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the
liver. Yours truly, E.l>. Fendall.
(From. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Paasyunk Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr.
Hoofiand’s German Bitters. I was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy
for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the si omach.
D. Meebige.
(From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen
town and Milville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.)
Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof
land’s German Bitters, I have to say that I regard them as an
excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended for. They strengthen and invgorate
the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the
liver, loss cf appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them
greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wm. Smith.

TV
(From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap
tist Church.)
I have been frequently requested to connect my name with
commendaiions or different kinds of medicines, but regarding
the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases
declined j but with a clear proof in various instances, and par
ticularly m my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoofiand’s
German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual, course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility of the system
and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe ana valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes.
Yours, very respectfully, J. H. Kznnaed,
