TuE RATTLE OF MAGENTA.

The lOngexpected great battle h,s al last been
fought The scene was on the left shore OF the
Ticipo, ON the road from Noyara to Milan. The
granite bridge at BuffalOra bsvlng been destroyed
al the commencement Of the War, the French
threw across bridges at TuIble", and passed tue
river on the morning Of Saturday the 4th inst
According to Napoieons telegram TO Paris, d''ed
at hali-past Ii in the evening OF that dag, they
were attacked BY an Austrian force, over which
they gained a great victory, killing or wonndIng
Is, 0OO, aud taking 500 prisoners. In u dispatch
from the same source. dated on the 9th, the Aus.
trisn loss ia killed, wounded aud prisoners, Is again
estimated at 90 900, while the French loss Is put
down at 1900. The bruht Of the battle was borne
for Two hours by the Imperial Guard, who Ought
IN narrow roadway, while McMahon got posses
siun If the little town of Magenta, Which Is the
first post station between the river aud Milan,
from wbch city il is twelve miles distant. For
this exploit We hear ffom Paris that McMahon
was made Duke Of Maeeuta aud Mar-hal OF France
OF the battle field According to another Dispatch
Of Napoleon's dated on Sunday evening, the
French loss is 1000 and the Austrian q, 900; the
French have taken three pieces OF Cannon aud two
h,gs, and have lost one piece ri caunon. The last
Napolronic Dispatch is dated Monday morning, the
9th inst, at O'Clock This states that Mllaa Is IN
a state of insurrection, that the Austrl.ns
have evacuated the city in haste, leaving
their artillery and treasure behind them.
The French, We are again told, are encunberrd
witt prisoners, and have taken 1900 Austrian
nushe.s This is the latest telegram from Napo-
leon; but tispstce Of Monday night from Paris
70 The London Morning Post says that the munich
patty OF Milan have proclaimed Victor Emanuel,
aud have presented al address 10 him in the pres
euce Of the Emperor; aud that the King wss 10
make bis public entry into that city on Tuesday
the 9Th INST The Paris journals yariousy esti-
mate the contend ng forces at from loo 600 TO
100, coo French against 10000 to $4,000 Aus
trisns but on the French side, We have no indlci-
tons as 10 what corps or what DIVISIONS were
engaged. so that We cannot form prec Sc opinoo
on that subject. So far the French accounts; now
for the Austrian.
In the hrst place it is 10 BE- remarked thst these
totally contradict the French bulletins They also
GENE down TO later date, namely, Monday night.
" lille the French dispatches only extend TO Mooday
morning The Au.irians are, furthermore more
precise in stating what corps darm.e they had en-
gagged, namely, at 1urbigo and BufAlora on Satur-
dsy, the first under Clam-Gsll,s, and the taird
under Prince Edward Liechtenstein. OF course
there ale verbal and perhaps other mistakes
in these dispatches; for instance, the third
corps is here SET down 90 command
ed BY Prince Edward Liechtenstein, though
it is really commanded by Prince Edmond Schwarz-
enberg, while Liech,enstein commands the second.

print a detailed account Of the affair, which pre-
seuts many curious aud interesting features. Ii
seems that Mrs Helena r. Quick of Milford, Pa,

to Solomon Cole a weak minded farmer; thst on
the goth Of March last SIZE died. baving been CON-

and that he took advantage Of Der confinement to

NATIONAL AMERICAN ASSOCIATION LAST
NIGHT.-This association met at the Horti-
cultural Hall, and the greater part of the
evening was occupied in discussing the fol-
lowing resolutions offered, by Mr.. fofreice.
"Rcsolred, That this association request the
Americans nominated on the ticket Just
made to resign their position.
"Resolced, That we will use every means
in our power to defeat both the county and
State tickets presented by the Republican
party," '.
Numerous speeches were made; Bit with
two or three exceptions, great moderation
prevailed. Mayor Bishop, DR.. +. Z, Jones,
candidates by the convention more TO Ameri-
cans themselves than to anything else. That
party was divided in sentiment in reference
to candidates, and the Republicans ap-
parently acted in good faith. TRUE, there
were but teo Americans nominated for the
House Of Representatives, when it was
thought there ought to have been three. But
this was because many of the candidates were
unknown; and If Americans did not know
their own men, it could not be expected that
the Republicans should.
DR.. Newton made speech, in which he re-
fused to commit himself, but stated that he de-
sired most of all the defeat Of the Democracy
and opposed haste.
Mr.. Crippen protested that he was consist
ent American, but that this was citisens
ticket, and whether the resolutions passed o.
not he would not withdraw.
Other members made remarks bearing on tht
| resolution, when it was unanimously agreed tt
postpone the further consideration Of them fo
one week. ..-..

SUICIDE.-Charles Snyder-well known in
this city as having been an sctive politician,
having exerted considerable influence with the
German portion of our citizens as Councilman,
City Commissioner and Deputy Sheriff-com-
mitted suicide on Wednesday night, under
circumstances of peculiar delicacy. He had
been indicted by the Grand Jury for forgery Of
a small amount, but no investigation had been
made Of the charge before traverse jury. He
was arrested while in attendance at the Demo-
cratic Convention, but gave bail. His spirits
were deeply depressed on return to his home.
1t appears that he had obtained four ounces Of
laudanum in the afternoon at Muhlenburg's 3
drugstore. ..t.,,. ...-.
He retired to bed as usual, and when his
family were asleep, it is supposed he swallowed
the laudanum, nearly the whole Of the contents
of the vial. His wife awakened about three
o'clock Of the morning Of yesterday, and
alarmed at the heavy snoring of her husband,
attempted to awaken him from his stupor, but
his appearance was SO unusual as to induce
her, about four O'Clock, to send for Doctor
Wade, who found him in dying condition.
All expedients for his recovery failed, and the
unfortunate man expired about six O'Clock
yesterday morning. He resided on Jones.
street, two doors south Of Wade-street. The
inquest of the Coroner's jury was in accordance
with the above recited facts.
He had been active as a member of associa-
tions--German Protestant Association, Red
Men, Good-Fellows and Odd-FellowS.
