ters from Rome fthe 2Sth August, mention that
the Austrian Cabinet had addressed a note 10 the
Pontfcial Government, in which it declared that.
of the church remaining unrepressed, or crimes
being unpunished, Austria would consider the
Pope incapable Of maintaining order in his States
and feel it her duty to interfere. General Red

There appears to have been seme difficulty in
the camp at Buena Vista, in consequence of the
rigid discipline maintained by Col. PAINE. of the
North Carolina regiment. 1t was confined to his
own. the Mississippi and Virginia regiments, some
of the men of which grossly nsulted him, nd il
finally resulted in his shooting down, with his pis-
tolls, two of them, one Of whom died the next dav.
Generals Wool and CUSHING approved of Colonel
PAINE's conduct. 1t appears to have had salu
tary effect, and no further trouble had been ex.

An occurrence took place last evening which
had not purposed relating, fearing that something
more distressing might grow out of it, but as ev-
cry thing seems quiet now, | will briefly relate
the circumstance. Col. Paine, of the North Car
olina regiment, from the rigid system of discip.
inc which he has pursued, has become very un-
populur in his own regiment and in the Mississip-
pl and Virginia regiments, with which he has
been thrown in connection as officer of the dav.
Many insults have been offered him by members
of the two latter, and this feeling has gradually
been ripenng till il came to head last night

about thirty men, some his own and some privates
of the Virginia regiment; and subseq stones
were thrown at his tent. A number of men also as
sembled in front of his Lieut.. CoIonel's tent
