TIVE RATTLE OF MoNTEBELLo.

Tho first battle of the present war was
fo,,bt ON the 2lst ult at Montebello-the
scene ofone ofthe Emperor Napoleon's lSt grea,
battles, and where Marshal Lannes Won the
title of Duke of Montebello.
This battle Of the 2lSt is the opening Of a
great struggle, the duration and end Of which
is beyond the wisdom Of man. The AuStrians,
under General Stadion, attacked the French
advanced posts Of paraguay dHillierS WIFI,
fifteen thousand strong, and were rePu'Seu
BY the allies, with u loss OF looo OF
1000, and 4 loss to the French ut ooo OF 'Vo'
of whom many were officers. The :AuStrians
say they r~etreated behind the 70 IN good order,
from a superior force. \ Sandman bulletin
also announces another engagement between
tbc Sandman extreme left, under General Chi
.ldini. and the AustrianS, which resulted in the
repulse of the latter, and an advance Of the
former over the Lesia.
Thus are terminated all hopes of an adjust
ment Of the difficulties and the return Of
peace. For the better understanding of the
movement Of the armies and the strategic pc,
sitions of the belligcrentS, We shall publish in 4
few days a map of the Seat of War, covering
nearly one page of the Enquirer.
This map showing the entire scat of war,
will greatly facilitate the understanding Of If
fairs in Piedmont.
The Emperor of the French, commanding
the Allies. and Francis Joseph commanding
the !Austrians, will present a spectacle not wit
messed in Europe for many years; and will III,
fuse into their soldiers a courageous daring,
only equalled in the campaigns Of the first En'
peror.
Stirring times are indeed before us, and every
person should prepare themselves with 4 good
map Of the seat Of wal.
The strength Of the respective armies is al
important point, but one which cannot be 9th
erwisc than approximately estimated. ATurin
correspondent Of the London Times estimates
the number of effective PiedmonteSc at eighty
thousand. Sixty.Cour thousand French sol
diers had landed at Genoa up to the 9TH o
Nav, and adding those that came by the pas
sage Of Mont Gents, the French in the Sardi
man states would be about one hundred ant
thirty thousand, making the allied forces mum
Der about two hundred and ten thousand men
The Austrian troops in Italy may be roushl.
estimated at two hundredan twenty thousand
which are distributed as follows: At Aucon;
1000. Ferarra 1000, Venice Il, 200 20 $1,000
Lecnago 1000. Mantua 1000, Verona 5000
Peschiera 1000, Piaccnza 5000, Brcscia, Nj
Ian, Bcrgamo, Cremona and other places in tina
district 30, 900 to 81, 900. The Austrian arm,
concentrated Al in Piedmont is composed Of abou
one hundred and thirty thousand, by which i
would appear that the allies will have a decide
advantage in point Of numbers in the impend
inc battle.

10 me E"itoTS ~ W EhYHtT'F:
UNIVERSITY or Va. June 8, 1859.
Gentlemen Another shooting affair came
off a, this place this morning The parties
were. Mr.. j. NJ. Bentley, Of Kentucky, and
Chas. Gachct, of Alabama. in which the for
mcr was seriously, if not fatally wounded
the ball of his adversary passing through the
right arm, entering his right breast, at the
nipple. and ranging toward the heart. His
physician has not been able to extract the ball.
Mr.. Gachct was admitted to bail.
The difficulty originated about the medal
which was awarded by the Columbian Society,
to Mr.. 5. l.. Arlington, Of Alabama. Mr.. Ba-
kcr, of Kentucky. was contcnding for it. and
the rncc was thought TO be very close. each party
confident of success. The night of the cleo
ton, however, three gentlemen joined the Soci.
ETY. for the purpose of voting for Mr.. Arlington;
whercupon, Mr. Baker aud the most Of his
friends retired from the Hall. refusing to have
ANYTHING to do with the affair, or consent for
his name to I've used in connection with the
honor.
Mr.. Bentley, being n warm supporter of Mr..
Baker. contendcd that Mr.. Arlington had not
got the medal justly or mcritorouSly. Exccp-
c%eptions were taken 10 his remarks the lie
was given by Gachct: whcrcupon, Bentley
collared him and struck him with his fist

H MANUFACTURES.

We have often written on the subject Of the
value of manufacturing industry to the pros
pcrity Of a city; and in speaking Of manuiac-
turing industry, We do not mean TO allude
merely to those heavier branches Of enterprise,
iron ioundrie<, agricultural implement manu-
factories, mills, &c: but we mean 10 include all
the minor and lighter occupations which sup
PLY the wants Of society. and give employment
| t, tbaausan?!d:s If i1S44HIdasT SSAIIzsch2ss 2 IN al these, as as
well aS the heavier works, that the noble city
of Philadelphia is enabled not only to maintain
It's position in the face Of the loss Of almost the
whole Of its foreign trade, but to increase with
4 rapidity that is wonderful. The great city Of
New York has ~monopolizcd a large part of its
trade, and it was seriously apprchcnded at one
time, would almost crush it. But the enter
prise and industry Of its people have dcticd the
power Of the great Gotham. and proved that
from such a population, a city has more to ex-
pcct than rom 4 foreign trade.
In this view, we have always hailed with
satisfaction every new manufacturing enter
prize, however humble and however i~nsigniii.
cant might be the fabric it proposed TO make.
Wenow take pleasure in mentioning the Cloak
and Mantle manufactory Of Mr.. r.. Ezekiel, No.
50, Main Street, where arc manufactured ex-
tenSlvcly these articles oil ladies' dress. IN q
manner creditablc, and at rates as reasonable
aS those Of the North. We invite attention to
the enterprise Of Mr.. f., and hope he will find
the most ample cnconra cement. This is pre-
ciscly one of those branches OF industry which
afford a material aid in the promotion Of the
general prosperity Of 4 city, and deserves the
most liberal support Ri.rhmond Dtpatch.
We take pleasure in repnbli>hins the above
just compliment to one of orr energetic and
useful citizens. We have just seen 4 beauti'
full piece of work, entirely Of Richmond manu-
%facturc, from Mr.. Ezckicl's fine establishment,
1t is a mant;illa Of white harcgc, trimmed with
French love-ribhons and ornamcnted with cx-
q%uisitc ~tasscls of ca,ncl's hair. In style, beauty,
and finish. it is equal 10 any article trom. the
famous New York depot> Of Fashion.
