MOntebellO.


Montebello, where the battle between
the Austrians and the Allies was fought,
is a small village on the Pc, about SO
miles northeast Of Alexandria, and has
once before been the scene of an action
between the French and Austrains.
Fifty-nine years ago, or in 1900, during
the late Italian campaigns of Napoleon
when nearly all the great powers of
Europe were leagued against him, his
Marshal Lannes, at the head of 5000
French troops, charged an Austrian
force of $4,000 at MontebelIo, and after
a desperate fight of fifteen hours, de-
feated them with great slaughter. The
Austrians lost 5000 and 800 prisoners
while the French had to lament an
equal number killed or disabled. Then,
As now, the moral triumph was greater
than the physical victory, for it restored
the animation of the French, who had
suffered greatly in the previous parts of
the campaign; and was instrumental in
preparing the way for the more stipend
Gus achievements of Napoleon at Mar
engo. But whether the recent affair at
Montebello is to lead to another Maren-
go under the second Napoleon, it re-
mains for the future to show.

An Underground Lake has been dis.
covered not far from Battle Creek. We
learn from the .7efftersonian that an at
tempt was made to construct read
across marsh and track was raised
several feet above the surface. The
weight of the material used for the
track crushed through the crust which
covered the Lake and entirely disap-
peared, so that not a yestige of it can
be seen. The Lake is aboat thirty rods
across.

VERY WILLING TO TAKE THEM
The Constitution, Mr.. Buchanan's
mouth-piece, has jubilant article over
the Ohio Know Nothing Convention,
in which it says: The KnowNo thing
party as anational body having died out,
as it was in 1856, SO it will be in 1850;
those who dislike the idea of throwing
away their votes upon third candidate
will give their suffrage to the National
Democracy" 1t will be seen that al
though the Federal organ so frequent
ly denounces the Know Nothings, it
calculates upon and welcomes their sup
port. It's position appears to be that it
approves the conduct of the Know
Nothings when they assist the Domoc-
racy, but Sc rerely 'censures them when
they assist the Republicans. It's quite
true that the Know-Nothings defeated
the Republican candidate in 1856 and
perhaps they can do it again in 1860,
as the Constitution augurs, but we
doubt it. s+sfsr Fr..a fer.ti stl1 u-

Gen. Cass ON the Rights of Naturalized
kmer1cans.

Gen. Cass ON the Rights of Naturalized
k.mericans.
A number of the naturalized citizens
of New York, addressed letter to
Hon. J. M. Bolts, of Virginia, on the
18th inst, then in that city, asking his
views on the letter of Secretary Cas-,
which declares that naturalization here
does not exempt foreigner from the
claim of his government if he volunta-
lily returns to his native country. Mr..
Bolts, under date of the 18th inst, an
swers in an elaborate argument, taking
ground directly opposed to Secretary
Cass, and summing up his argument as
follows:
My views on this question may be
thus summed up: When one plants
himself under the wings of the Amer
lean Eagle, which he is pledged and
sworn to support and defend; when he
enrolls his name upon he ample folds
of the Stars and Stripes of this great
American Union, he is free to go where
ever the winds and waves may carry
him; the eye of that Eagle watches
over his every step, that flag waves
proudly over his head whether he is
upon land or upon water, in apalace or
a dungeon; and the power that dares
to interfere with his personal liberty
whilst he is engaged in lawful enter
prize, and not offending against the
criminal or penal code of that power,
dishonors that Eagle and disgraces that
flag to which he appeals for his deliv-
erance if it does not afford him prompt
relief and redress.

England and the War.

Notwithstanding the Queens pro-
clamation of neutrality, it will require
the strictest caution and care to pre-
vent Great Britain from drifting into
the hostilities in Europe. Already,
whether Intentionally or not they have
given the French and Sardinians two
grave causes of complaint-one by
sheltering Austrian vessels at Malta,
and the other by refusing to recognize
the Provincial Government at Florence.
A warm correspondence is said to have
arisen on both these points. While it
is undoubtedly the right of the British
Government to extend the protection
of their ports, to such vessels as they
see fit, especially when this protection
is offered to all nationalities alike their
course in regard to Tuscany seems less
defensibIe. The new Government
which they refuse to acknowledge. did
not originate In foreign dictatlon or
usurpation, but was chosen by the de-
liberate act of the people themselves.
The Tuscans had as much right to es-
tablish it as the English had to change
their line of succession from the House
of Stuart to the House of Hanover.
The cases are not dissimilar, for the
Grand Duke ran away in one case, as
James II. did in the other, and both
continued to claim the Throne after
ceasing to occupy it. Espousing the
cause of the Austrian Duke against the
Tuscan People, cannot fail to bring
odium on the English name throughou,
Italy. f.4 80 es. ar

Many people suppose that the
Zouaves, 90 often mentioned in connec-
ton with the Italian war, as well a.
with the late campaign in the Crimea,
are corps of Arabs. They are only
Frenchmen in Arab uniform, and are
made up Of men selected from the old
soldiers of the regular army for their
fine form, great strength and tried
courage. A letter from Italy says of
them:
The dress of the Zouave is of the
Arab pattern the cap is loose fig, or
scull cap, of scarlet felt, with tassel;
turban is worn over this in full dress;
cloth vest and loose jacket, which
leave the neck uuincumbered by collar,
stock or cravat, cover the upper por-
ton of his body, and allow free move
ment of the arms the scarlet pants are
of loose, oriental pattern, and are
tucked under garters like those of the
foot rifles of the guard the overcoat is
loose cloak with hood the Chas-
seurs wear similar one. The men
say that this dress is the most conven-
lent possible, and prefer it to any other.
The Zouayes have certainly proved
that they are, what their appearance
would indicate, the most reckless, self
reliant and complete infantry that Eu
rope can produce. With his graceful
dress, soldierly bearing and vigilant at
titude, the Zouave at an outpost is the
beau ideal of a soldier. They neglect no
opportunity of adding to their personal
comforts if there is a stream in the
vicinity, the party march on picket is
sure to be amply supplied with fishing
rods, de-; if anything is to be had, the
Zouaves are quite certain to obtain it.
Their movements are the most light
and graceful | have ever seen; the
stride is long, but the foot seems scarce
ly to touch the ground, and the march
is apparently made without effort or
fatigue.
have noticed that the Zouaves al
ways manage to have fowl or two
boiling in the pot. They have obtain
ed this accession to the meal either Ivy
what is termed "hooking" it, ar else
the Zonave, who always gallant, has
induced the farm maiden, who ador,s
him, to make present to himself aud
comrads. One thing certain. where
other troops would starve, the Zouaves
find plenty of provisions The dinner
over, the spokesman of the party tells
some interesting tale of what some for
mer Zonave did in Africa. He is lis
tened to in solemn silence, only being
interrupted from time to time with some
such remarks as +" o. est 6ien ca.
Volta comment le Zouzon arrange les
affairs" and so on until the quick rat
tie OF the drum announces that the
time has come for duty to be attended
to. Gay and careless these troops are,
above all, active and brave they are
ready to undertake at any moment any
desperate move, and their reputa ton
throughout Europe has become so gen.
orally Known that it is an additional
force gained for them"

HoME.-How touchingly beautiful
are the relations at home! There each
is bound by an electric chair, that seems
to pass to all hearts in the family group;
so that one cannot enjoy pleasure unless
all partake of it. If one is oppressed,
all sympathize if one is exalted, all
must share the happiness. 1t is in the
home where the aching hearts soothed
where the oppressed are relieved, the
outcast reclaimed, the sick healed, or
falling, the tear of pure love drops from
the mourner's eye, when the dear ones
are gathered to their long home.-Ss-
