AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY

A correspondent from Preshurg writes to
the Times, giving nm account of the extreme
Consideration of the lmperlnlists in That city
on learning tho capture of RnNh,
The approach of the tiuugurinns was so
sudden that the garrison at Rnab was seized
with panic aud fled in great confusion. Flu
gitve officers report that there was nothing

Raab and George, aud with them an cnor-

to Two conpRftes of foot aud six pieces OF

troops of nncers were missing. The news
also created great excitement 0t Vienna.
Among the four hallRluus sent 10y railway

The officers also were in depending

Discovery I'm Oregon.

1t has been supposed until lately,
that the shore at Oregon, south Of
the Columbia river, was without in
dentation or harbors. Explorations
for considerable distance South of
the Columbia have been made, which
is producing an entire change in
public opinion, and not only bays
are found, but beautiful prairies, fine
timber, some rivers, and water pow
err.
Tilamuke bay, situated apout so
or 60 miles south of the mouth of
the Columbia river, it several miles
in extent, receiving FIVE rivers, some
of which are good mill streams. Two
miles back of this bay prairie COM
mences, varying from one end ssnalf
to three miles in width, and eight
miles long. Below the Tilamuke
bay two others have been discover
ed, which are worthy Of being no.
ticed; the first of which is known to
the natives by the name of Celiste,
and the second by the name of Vac
quina.
The bay is from fourth of a
mile to a mile in width, three miles
long, and receives the waters of two
rivers. A bed of excellent stone
coal has been. discovered ON the
bank of the Celeste river, ten miles
from its entrance into the Celeste
bay. There are several small rich
level prairies on the GILLETTE river.
The Yacquina bay is three fourths
of mile wide at its mouth, from a
mile to two and half miles wide,
extends parallel with the coast from
six to ten miles in length, and is per-
fectly sheltered from the ocean winds
There is. considerable prairie in the
immediate vicinity of the Yacquina
bay. All the rivers emptying into
these bays abound with salmon and
other fish, and the bays all afford,
clans, crabs, &C., in abundance.
Within the Yacquina bay the water
is deep, and the waves roll into toe
mouth from the ocean, without any
apparent obstruction.-.N 7. Er-

Poison If Rusted Wheat.-It is
stated that in some portions of the
State, people have been made sick,
and hogs died of eating the wheat of
the season, which has been shrunk
by the rust. This is not incredible.
It is, we believe, settled that the
disease in wheat known as rust, is
ocasioned by its being attacked in
a certain stage of its growth, by a
parasitic plant of the cryptogamous
or fungus species. These plants of
which the edible mushroom is one
variety and the mooses and moulds
are others, are mostly poisonous; and
many of them produce poison of an
exceedingly active character. In
fact there are very few of them that
are not more or less dangerous, if
taken into the system; and even the
edible mushroom, at certain seasons
has been known to affect the health
of those who make free use Of it
We hope the subject will be investi-
gated before the wheat is allowed to
enter into general consumption
