A PARIS letter in the Independence of Brus-
sells, gives the following account of the circum-
stances which preceded the armistice:
The Emperor of Austria having caused a de-
mand to be made in the French camp if it were
not possible to obtain the remains of Prince
Windischgractz, who was killed at Solferino the
Emperor Napoleon caused them to be sought for
and they were recognized, partly by his uni
form, and partly by some letters FROM his newly
married wife, which he had about him. The
corpse was placed in an artillery wagon, and
conveyed accompanied by an officer of the staff
and an escort, to the Austrian head quarters
The officer expressed to the Emperor the condo
ence of the Emperor of the French; and his
Austrian Majesty (who was just recovering
from somewhat severe indispostion) begged,
not without emotion, the officer to convey his
thanks to the Emperor Napoleon, and to express
his sorrow at the death of so many brave men
in the French army. This led to some remarks
on the cruel necessities of war, and from what
was said, the Emperor Francis Joseph was able
to perceive that those necessities were regretted
as much by his opponent as himself

The central dome of the Church Of the Trim,
ity, in the large monastery of Jellovodskii, at
Makarew, in Russia, short time since suddenly
fell in with tremendous crash. Fortunately
mo one was in the building at the time. An
enormous plated lustre, suspended from the
centre, and which dates back as far as geo, was
broken to pieces, as were also the statues with
which the church was ornamented. The vio-
lence of the commotion was such that the large
iron gates at the front entrance were burst open.
The building, which dates from 1885, had been
richly ornamented by presents from the mer-
chants frequenting the fair held at AIaknrew
before its removalto Mini. Novgored in 1917.

An ingenious dodge of the counterfeiter was
detected in the uncurrent money department of
the Metropolitan Bank in New York, as we
learn from the Post. Good one dollar bills of
various banks are mntilatcd by taking ont the
name of the bank, which is afterwards pasted
on tens and twenties of broken banks. The
bill thus manufactured being composed of parts
of genuine bills, is dangerous, the process of
FASTING being neatly done.

WHEELING FEMALE SEMINAKY.-We feel conf.
dent that of the numerous female schools that
have been established and have Aourished, in
the various sections of our great State, within
the past few years, none are better entitled to
the public consideration and liberal patronage
than the Wheeling Female Seminary. While the
not neglected or overlooked the chief aim is to
impart to the habits a thorough, useful, COM
mon sense education-an education, in fine that
will prepare them to discharge successfully the
duties OF American women. The very fact that
Mrs Hanna has the superintendent of this
school is enough of itself to challenge the public
confidence, for no one individual, in the history
of our country has done so much to establish

a CORRESPONDENT of the N. y. Times says
"Prince Napoleon arrived at valeggio, in his
travelling carriage, and stopped ut one of the
municipal palaces in the main street. As soon
as he alighted from his carriage, the crowd col
lected and commenced to gaze in the windows
of the carriage at something which appeared
unusual. Following the example of others,
approached and discovered that in the front of
the carriage and facing the Prince as he sat,
were fixed two dagnerreotypes, one to the right,
that of his wife, the Princess Clothilde, the
other to the left, that of his father, the Prince
Jerome, while in the middle there was an orna-
mented something which might have been
prayer book, memorandum book, or tobacco
box. Icould not learn what was to be the
Princes future field of operation"

IT seems to US that Prentice and his Kentuo1
ky opposition must feel nightly cast down, dis
gruntled and demOralized. They raised the
issue of the power, duty and expediency of
Congressional intervention in favor of Slavery
in the territories" in the late Kentucky canvass
They made that issue the touchstone. They
hung their hopes upon success by it's advocacy.
They risked the fearful probability of being but
aPoor, uncertain power in the State, on that
issue, even in case Of temporary success,
against the absolute certainty that they would
be ground to powder under defeat They risk
cd their ALL we say, on this baneful issue, and
riskipg they! have lost. Lost their. hoped for
victory, lost caste, lost sympathy, lost all they
had to lose. They areInow poor FILTERED OPP
position, of no use to any party, any opinion
outside the State, and Of no use to themselves
inside. In short, they are entirely and utterly
undone.
So it goes Virginia, Goggin,ized, was sta
ken in and done for" Kentucky, Goggin-ized,
was likewise "taken in and done for" So, in
NIL probability, will Tennessee be deadened,
sunk, md lost for any practical opposition to
the party in power, Z. "
A few more days Of waiting will settle the
question. We. shall see men ranging them
selves there definitely one side or the other of
the two great parties to the approaching grand
encounter of 1860. On the one side will be
those who, inspired with an unfaltering deyo-
ton to the doctrines of the Fathers of the
Republic, that slavery is sectional, not nation
al, while, on the other, will be those who be-
lieve in the doctrines that have animated these
late elections.

The commencement exercises at jefferson
College, Canonsburg, Pa, began on Monday
last ard closed on Wednesday evening. The
graduating class numbered ffty-three young
gentlemen, and includes some fine talent us
we'll as high attainuents in the way of scholar
ship. We were highly pleased with the appear
ance Of College matters about Jefferson We
take it that the Faculty are an able corps of
men, from what We saw Of them. DR.. Alden, the
President, is certainly an acquisition to any in
8titution-and although we see that the Jakey
paper issued by some of the students, speaks of
him in disparaging way, yet we can readily
understand how that there. may have been an
''axe" in the case-as, in all likelihood, there
was. The number Of students is upwards Of
two hundred-many of them, however, scholar
ship students, whose tuition fees yield but
small profit. These scholarships, however, have
well repaid, we doubt not, the College, for their
issue. They have brought an unusual number
of young men to the College, which on the face
of the catalogue and in the minds of readers,
have given the institution an eclat and prestige.
The location of the College is probably it's
greatest drawback, although there is no doubt
that small place, comparatively out of the
high ways, is preferable for an institution of
learning, where proficiency depends so much on
the absence Of temptation.
The conspicuous feature of the Commence
ment was the address of Cassus NJ. Clay, on
"The Life and Philosophy of franklin" 1t was
plain, practical and wholesome speech, full Of
good sense and characterized by that unpretend-
ing force of sentiment and delivery which have
always distinguished the speaker. Some of the
people up there, so we understood, affected to
think it did not do justice to the greatness of
their occasion, but we are Of the contrary
opinion. The best proof of its adaptation to the
occasion was the earnest attention which it COM
manded throughout its entire length Of an hour
and a half from the immense audience assem-

{ TINS latest advices from Panama, represent
the gold excitement there as intensiCyiug. The
accounts which reach the Isthmus from Chirri-
qu, where the grave diggers are at work, rep.
resent the district as the depository of immense
wealth. Tho tombs from which the golden
trinkets and images were taken, it appears, are
of great extent, some of them having contained
many hundred bodies The gold is said to be
containedein earthen vessels by the side of the
body. The ground where the "toombs" are is
covered with trees, and it was by the falling of
n large tree growing out of the top of mound,
that the deposits were discovered. The roots
of the tree took with them the earth and mason
work of one of the mounds, leaving the gold
exposed, which was accidentally seen by a. man
when passing. 1t is said that one man at the
"grayc-diggings" has taken out seventy-fve
pounds of images, but this is probably an ex.
aggeration.
