Another Battle in Europe.

The telegraph brings US news Of gener-
al battle, fought at Magenta, a point near
Milan, in Austrian Italy, between the
French forces under the Emperor and the
Austrians under General Hess. The battle
took place on the fourth Of June. The hrst
dispatches represented that $4,000 Aus.
trians and 10000 French had been killed
and diabled. Those that came after great.
ly reduced these huge figures.
The emperor of the French claims deci-
sive victory, and claims to have taken 1000
prisoners and disabled 10000, but the unm-
Der OF killed is not stated. The Austrians
accounts differ widely from the French.
Various battles with varying success are
spoken Of. The French loss according to
Paris rumors is about equal to the Austrian,
and later rumors detract still more from the
French victory at Magenta.
The accounts, as were those Of the battle
of Montebello are conflicting and unsatis-
factory. There is no doubt that battle has
been fought, and with great losses on both
sides. 1t is matter of doubt whether the
French or Austrians were victorious. The
accounts first received come through France
and must be received with many gains of
allowance.

Popular Sovereignty.

During the session of Congress, commen'
cling in December, l849, committee, con.
sisting of thirteen of the ablest members o
that body, of which Henry Clay was chair
man, Lewis Cass, D. S. Dickinson, Jesse
D. Bright, Daniel Webster. Senator Phil
lips, James Cooper, VIM. R. King. Senator
Downs, Willie P. Mangum, John Bell, and
John M. Berrien were members, made O
written report on the slavery question, from
which the following is an extract:
"The true principle which ought to regu-
late the act OF Congress in forming Terrific
rial Government for each newly &C quired
domain is to refrain from all legislation on
the subject Of slavery in the territory ucquir.
ed, so long as it retains the territorial form
of government, leaving it to the people oi
such Territory, when they have attained to
such q condition which entities them to ad-
mission as State, to decide for themselves
the question Of allowance or prohibition oil
domestic slavery"
This extract, short as it is, embraces the
entire doctrine of popular sovereignty which
the Opposition now so strongly oppose
They agreed to it then, but times are chang.

pedient. National Democrat.

Steam on Ohio Canals.

The Cleveland Herald of Tuesday eve.
ming chronicles the arrival, by Canal, a,
that city, of the Canal Screw Steamer En-
terprise, from Akron. She came in with q
light cargo of earlhenware, running from
the l2 mile lock to Cleveland in forty min
utes. Had she been loaded deeper the run
would have been made in three hours.
The Enterprise is strongly built, of about
the usual size of boats on this Canal and
will carry about 65 tons. The engine is o
abo ut eight horse power. 1t was made by
Hatfield, Cuyshoga Falls. The cylinder i:
7 inch with l2 inch stroke. Two sma
propeller wheels, of a pattern furnished by
Captain Deuel. himself, are used 10 propeI
the boat; and they are so made that they cu
the grass short off, 30 that it does not twis
around the wheels. This was fully demon
strated during the trip in from Akron. The
expense Of running by steam is estimated
by the Captain to be about one.fourth Of tina
of horses, whilst the progress is s,eader ant
more speedy. In wide places a speed of 81,
miles an hour has been attained; but Cap
tain Deuel. considers four miles an hour Il
be as fast as desirable for the good of tht
boat and of the canal. The wheels are 81
shaped that there is no wash to injure thu
banks, and several of the officials at th,
locks have gone some way on the boat ant
and expressed themselves satisfied that NJ
injury to the canal has been sustained or il
likely to be caused by such boats.

A letter writer Torn to Pieces.

We have heard great many horrid tales
latelyi big pictures produced upon very small

letter.writ ers, by deceived Pixies Peakers.
The following, however, from the Dubuque
Times, rather excels all previous efforts in
the Pixies Peak horrible line. 1t appears a
Mr.. Jones has returned home, and the Times
vouches for his being reliable man. Here
is part Of Jones' story as told in the Times;
"Mr. Jones left Cherry Greek on his re-
turn journey about four weeks since. He
was not able to realize fsrthing for all Of
his expenditure of time and money and his
long continued exposure and fatigue. Many
of the emigrsnts had previous to his depart
ure, suffered extremely, and there we're in
creasine manifestations Of desperation among
them. About FIVE hundred of the most rsck.
less had organized themselves into com.
pany of "Lynchers," and there was q sworn
purpose among them to visit summary VEN
geance upon all persons who had been in
strumental In circulating false reports of the
existence of gold at Cherry Creek. Mason
Clark, formerly of st. Charles, Floyd coun.
ty, Iowa, was suspected and convicted Of
having been one Of the fraudulent letter-wri-
ters, and he was put to death in most hor.
rible manner. Four mules were hitched to
the extremities of his limbs, made to draw
in different directions, and he was literally
torn in pieces Ezra Allen, formerly of
Chickasaw county, and two other persons,
whose names our informant could not re.
member, were shot for the same offence
Great indignation exists against the inhabi
tants of Omaha City and Council Bluffs, and
the returning gold hunters threatens ven.
geance upon those towns.

An Opposition Paper Comes

At time when the dearest interests OF
the country are involved-when q party ol

fairn ess that put to shame the more venal
of the opposition press, it has ever maintain.
ed among the newspaper press OF the coun.
try high rank as among the ablest and
flares of the opposition journals. In its issue
of the 10th inst. the Tines says.
HAVE WE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !-Such
is the heading of an article in the last State
Journal that has come to hand-at the pres
ent time, a query of considerable impor-
tanee. 1t is patent that we have dyed.in.

have 80 long existed between the States oil

At such time ii is question Of no small
moment whether we have party among US
of sufficient power TO resist the encroach-
ments that are being made upon Constitu.
tonal liberty. When the point is distinctly
made by the dominant party of the State of
overslaughing its judiciary, because it will
not bend itself 10 the work of establishing

tern Reserve, that the Constitution of the
United States is unconstitutional-erec
the same into law-then it becomes the
duty of conservative men and patriots to
look we'll to their ways and treat the emer-
gency of the case like men.
In this country, al such questions OF poll.

their votes. 1t is the argument of dernier
resort, which the people have always used
to effect political reforms whereby the will
of The people has passed into law. If the

supine and Indifferent.
For ourselves; speaking but for ourselves,
regarding the issue embodied in the present
State canvass, we say frankly that we are
glad, for once, that we have democratic

look at the real and true interests of the
State, as we aim to do, they too will have
reason to feel thankful that no one single

A Balloon A6Oat.

Mr.. Bannister-the companion Of Thurs.
ton on the voyage that had the fearful sequel
-udver,ses for balloon that got away from
him few days since. Bannister went up
at Kalamazoo, Mich, had splendid sail in
the air, but like great many other people
he knew better how to fly than to alight.-
His coming down is thus given by him:
After dashing over or near Jackson, l
continued gradually to descend for consid-
erable distance, until found was coming
down in heavy piece of woods, and, conse.
quently, discharged all my ballast, sand
bottles, and even provisions, in order TO pass
safely over, which did, and landed 25 min.
utes to o'cloch, about three miles from the
village of Fentonville, Genessee county,
losing my balloon, however, in the descent,
passed the woods above spoken of, and got
just to the edge, threw down my graphing
hook in order to stop my progress, hoping to
bring the balloon to the earth. The hook
caught fast in tree; but just at that mo.
ment sudden gust Of wind came and tore the
cord windlass out, so that had nothing left
with which to stop my career. So ] pulled
open the valve to let the gas escape as fast
as possible, hoping, by this means, to bring
the balloon to the ground and thus land it.
/ succeeded in getting so near to the earth
that was able to catch hold of the branch.
es of an apple tree that encountered in my
passage. and just as did so, as bad luck
would have it, sudden gust of wind struck
the balloon, twitching me out of the basket,
and making me perform double somerset
as came to the earth. The balloon, being
thus relieved, rose and passed on, and, in
this manner, lost it.

one and placed it between his teeth for the
purpse of cracking, when loud explosion
ensued, lacerating and burning his mouth in
q shocking manner. Examination showed
the remaining nuts-filberts-to be charged

Distressing Occurrence.

A serious accident, resulting from the
careless use Of fire arms, occurred in this
place on Monday last. A young lady named
Ellen Braden, niece of William Braden
Ticket Agent Of the c. and NJ. Railroad, re-
ceived the contents of loaded gun in her
neck, at the hands of her own brother, aged
sixteen.
He had been teasing her in a playful way
to return to st. Louis, where their parents
reside, and finding gun in the house that
he supposed was empty, raised it with the
remark that he would shoot her unless she
did as he desired. She had her back to hun
at the time, and paid no attention to the re-
mark. He intended to frighten her by snap
ping the gun, but it proved to be loaded, and
the entire charge OF fifteen or twenty shot
was discharged into one side of her neck and
through the feshy part Of her cheek, lacer.
ating her in terrible manner. She fell to
the floor with the shock, but immediately "
recovering herself, managed to get down
stairs and cal! for assistance, the blood the
meantime flowing from her wound in a
stream. Medical assistance was obtained es
speedily as possible, when it was found that
the shot had penetrated the neck in a body
making an oriice large enough to admit the
insertion OF couple of fingers, but happily
had not severed any of the main arteries.-
1t was certainly marvellous escape from
death.
At this writing "wednesday Miss Brader
lies in suffering and critical condition.
Her friends, however. entertain the hope
should violent fever or tetanus not super
vene, that she will eventually recover with.
out Disagreement. The remorse of the
young brother, in thus thoughtlessly peril
ling the life Of his sister, has been poignan
and sincere. 1t is to be hoped that this cast
will serve as another example of warning t
all, OF the danger Of playing with fire arms
