Louisville, Sept. ,.
The Washington arrived at New
York about midnight, bringing two
days later intelligence. 1t is said
that 30, 600 Russians, commanded by
Gen. Luedcrs, were completely rout
ed by an inferior force of ilungari-
ans under BEN, and the survivors,
after the battle, were hunted into
Wallachia.
\ bulletin from Dcmbinski. dated
Gyonyth, July IS, speaks of second
great victory he has gained over the
Russians, after having attacked them
by surprise after night, on the 23d.
/ The Russians did not make much of
a stand many Of the officers fed in
their shirts, others were cut down or
taken prisoners. Two regiments of
Russian CuiraSsicrs were nearly an
initiated the Russians, though, ral-
lied and fought desperately. In the
morning brilliant attack by the
cavalry decided the contest: the
Russians left 600 dead on the field,
and had IS pieces Of cannon and
2OOO prisoners taken by the Hunga-
rianS.
The following Russian intelligence
is given what then must have
been the reality if they confess thus
much?
"On the 23d July the rifles were
attacked in the Pass of Ofhish, bv
the Magyars and forced to retreat
they were reinforced hy four picc ccs
oil artllcry,lbut were forced to retreat
after three hours fighting. in which
they the Russians lost in killed and
wounded officers and 100 privatcs.
The Magyars passed through the
Pass"
| Vienna is now garrisoncd by only
few new levieS. The Vienna
letters confirm the intelligence ofthe
occupation Of Raab by the Hungari,
ans, some of whom had appeared
even within the new leagues on Vi
cnna.(?) An army of 10000 men is
rapidly being collected by the Rus
slams at Prcsburg, to assume the
offensive. The Breslau says, GER
tainly, that persons who arrived in
Vienna on that evening affirm that
sanguinary engagement had taken
place at Grosmarde, in which the
Hnngarians had concentrated a force
100000 men, including troops from
klanzenberg. The affairs Of Co.
morn are in the same state as pre-
vlously reported. The Hungarians
are threatening Presbrug. No change

A "Stop Thief" Cry from Chicago.
The Chicago Citizen has deemed
our article in reference to the Rome
conventions Of sufficient importance
to expend upon it column and a
half by way OF review. In spirit
ike that which prompted the thief
to cry "stop thief" however, the Ci.
tizen has found it expcdient TO pre-
face its article with general charge
against us of unfairncss and dispo-
si,ion to pcrvert in managing con-
t.ovcrsy with an opponcnt-a a charge
which the article before us is alone
sufficient to lasten upon the Citizen
itself.
The Citizen lies outright when it
says we dcnominated the movements
Of the "Gree democracy" as an
"impudcnt and ridiculous farce"
We denounced the whole proceed
ing at Rome as such-the action Of
both convtntions-not Of the barn
burners alone. And we say again,
that no impartial man can read the
proceedings Of the two conventions
at Rome and not be forced to the
conclusion that neither wished to
unite with the other, and that the
greatest difficulty the managers Of
both conventions seemed to have en-
countcred was so to shape their pro-
ceedings as to prevent union from
taking place.
The Citizen, evincing a like re-
gard for truth, then labors through
more than column to show that so
far from there being but the differ
cnce Of twcdledum and twcdle-
dee" between the two wings of the
New York demo they are
"wide as the poles asunderw We
will not, to carry on 4 controversy
with an editor who will make such an
assertion, stop to quote the resolu-
tiOns of the bunker and barnburner
conventions, in which, side by side,
they agree that there is n difference
between them on sold issues,' none
on the power of congress overslave-
ry in the District of Columbia, none
on the power over slavery in the ter
ritories, none on the propriety Of
congress exercising that power to
prevent its existence in the terrific
ries, and none as to the impropriety
of making appreciation of the Will
mot Proviso out of New York a test
of democracy. Not would be a
foolish waste Of time. But we think
we can safely assure the Citizen of
one thing-and that is, so far at lcat
as this region is concerned, it can by
none of its wholesale assertions, or
gross perversions, ever succeed in
prejudicing the barnburners so
strongly against the Cass democrats
as TO induce them to forsake their
former associations and Join them
selves with the old abolition party.

accomplish which, no pains, no
