the Battle OF salferlno.

By the mail steamer Sonora we have intelli-
gence Of another bloody battle in Northern
Italy. between the allied French and Sardini-
ans. The allies gained decisive victory. The
conflict took place on the 24th Of June, at Sal
ferino. q small village few miles from Gotta,
on the river Mineio. This latter town is laid
down on the maps. and is about one hundred
miles east of Milan. The latest dates from
London are to June 3oth, and as yet we have
only the telegraphic accounts of the battle,
which cannot be regarded as very reliable.
II appears that the Austrians after having
evacuated Milan, continued their retreat TO the
eastward, and took up q position on the left
bank of the Mincio, with the intention of de-
Tending the line of that river The Mincio is a
small stream twenty-one miles long, crossed by
four bridges, and forms the western line of the
famous military quadrangle, protected by the
great fortified towns of Verona, Mantua, Pes
chiera, aud Laguana. Before the allies had
arrived at the Mincio, in force, the entire Aus.
trian army crossed to the right bank, and took
the initiative in the battle, which was COM
menced at four O'Clock in the morning and
lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. Gen
eral Neill, at the head of $4,000 French troops
attacked the Austrian center, and a most san
culinary conflict followed. The Austrians re-
ceived the attack with great hrmuess, but after
twelve hours hard lighting their center was
broken by the French. The Austrians then
brought up their reserve of 10000 men, aud
the allies their reserve of $4,000. aud after
three hours more fighting the Austrians gave
way, and the battle was won. During the bat
tie the Sandman army was at one time COM
pletely surrounded by the Austrans. but brave
ly repulsed them with great slaughter.
1t is stated that 100000 men were engaged
in the conflict, which included the entire Aus
trian army and nearly all the allied forces. and
the line of battle extended five leagues. The
Austrians re-crossed the Mincio, blowing up
the bridge at Gatu. and the allies remained
masters of the field, but it appears the latter
had suffered SO severely that they were not
able to pursue the retreating enemy. The al
lies took 5000 prisoners and thirty pieces of
cannon.
No reliable estimate has been received of the
number of killed and wounded. Accounts by
way of Turin state that 80, 900 Austrians were
placed hors de combat, and rumors were in circu-
lation at Paris that the French had lost IL, 900
in killed aud wounded. The Sardnians also
admit heavy losses.
According to latest accounts, the allies had
crossed the Mincio in pursuit of the Austrians
and the latter were preparing for another great
battle.
Field Marshal Baron Hess has been appoint
ed commander-in-chiefo of the Austrian army,
and Gen. Nell has been made Marshal of
France for bis services on the battle field.

NIessrs. Currey and Powell.

These gentlemen are now sojourning at Ne
vada. In their canvass thus far we learn that
they have been well received, and the people
have invariably turned out in large numbers to
hear them. On Friday evening they spoke at
Moore's Flat, and at San Juan on Saturday.
and much enthusiasm prevailed at both of these
places. At San Juan the crowd numbered from
five to six hundred persons. Mr.. Currey is a
clear, logical reasoner, he adheres closely to
the facts, aud to those who can take pleasure in
listening to an argumentative effort, bis speech
es are of surprising interest His remarks at
San Juan were confined to the question of the
right Of the people of the Territories to regu-
late their own institutions, and to the naturali.
zation question, which has recently produced
so much excitement and feeling in the country.
He took the position which has ever been main.
tanned by the Democratic party. that natural.
lied citizens were upon the same footing and
entitled to the same rights as the native born,
aud he gave cogeDt and powerful reasons to
sustain this time-honored Democratic doctrine
Mr.. Currey's quiet, unobtrusive habits, open
and honest expression, coupled with well-known
talent, are calculated to secure friends among
all who know him.
To be appreciated the speeches of DR.. Powell
must be heard. His quaint humor, originality
Of expression, and venerable appearance, will
inevitably attract to bis stand . crowd of eager
listeners.
These gentlemen spoke at Nevada last even.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT SAN JUAN.-On
Tuesday afternoon of last week, as we learn from
the Hydraulic Press Christian Maritime was in
stantly killed by the falling of bank in the claims
of the Eureka Company on San Juan Hill. The
earth that fell mostly from the surface, and be-
ing quite dry sent up such clouds Of dust that the
place of his burial could not be by those who
witnessed the accident. A considerable time elaps-
ed before the body of the unfortunate man was ex-
humed. 1t was found face down, not more than two
three feet deep, and without preceptble bruise
or mark of outward injury. 1t is probable that he
was stunned, and died Of sufocaton. Mr.. Maritime
was a native of Norway about thirty-two years of
age, and has been mining in the vicinity of San
Juan since 1851. His death makes the third one
occasioned by mining casualty at San Juan in the
short period Of eighteen days. and the second which
has occurred in the Eurek claims within ubout four
months. The miners occupation is truly fearful
one and it is impossible to look into the deep
chasms where they work without shudder and a
dread.

D. c. BRoDERIcK AT SHAsTA.-The Shasta
Courier administration referring to Mr.. Brod-
erick's reception at that place, says:
"Mr. Broderick's friends manifested an enthusi-
asm that must have been quite gratifying to him.
Many of the gentlemen engaged in this demonstra-
ton formerly politically damned the writer for voting
for Mr.. Broderick for United States Senator-say-
ing then that we voted for illiterate, man
-one wanting in intellect, refinement, and all gen.
tlemanly qualities. We glad that they have
changed their opinions. 1t is not pleasant for us to
know that any man in this country should have the
opinion of us that we capable of voting for a
coarse, illiterate and weak-minded man for the
alted position of United States Senator. We are
glad that Mr.. Broderick has shown himself to the
people of this county.

Tho Pr1ssian Government had demanded permis-
sion of Hanover to march $4,000 troops through
that territory TO the Rhine.
II was believed that the basis of the proposed me-
dation Of Prussia would not be acceptable to France
and that Prussia would thereby become involved in
the war on the side of Austria.
Il is also rumored that Prussia has threatened to
assist in the suppression Of the Hungarian revolu-
tionary movements.
The French Army of the East is being daily aug

Prince Napoleon, with the corps d'armee under
his command including the Il, 900 Tuscan troops,
entered Parma on the 25th June, and was received
bv the inhabitants with the greatest enthusiasm.
He is making rapid marches to join the right wing
of the allied army near Mantua.
The correspondent Of the London Times says
that Garibald and his men are accomplishing re-
markable feats in taking various Austrian positions
by surprise, sometimes marching thirty miles day,
and arousing the country through which he passes
in favor of the cause of independence.
great tumult was recently created at Venice by
rumors, which proved to be untrue, that the French
had landed at Padua, and that Venice would be sur
rendered within three days. The people began to
mount cockades with the Italian colors and insult
the military who attacked the mob with the butt of
their muskets.
An attempt was made at Rome to proclaim the
dictatorship of Victor Emanuel but Gov. Guyon IN
terfered and prevented it.
A despatch from Rome says that Ferrara, Raven

A dispatch from Verona, via Vienna announces
that Count Pourtailes, the Prussian Ambassador,

an interview with the Emperor upon the subject, as
is supposed of the proposals to Austria by the Prus-

Austria in active hostlites against France and Sar

A dispatch from Prince Gortschakof confirms the
report continually circulated that Russia has prom

THAT LETTER.-The Sacramento Standard. in
referring to Mr.. BrOderick's Nevada speech,
says: ..t
On that occasion, he read letter addressed BY
Mr.. Gwin to Mr.. Anderson of Nevada and at the
same time stated that che had acquaintance with
that gentlemen" II Mr.. Broderick, admitting for
the sake of argument, that he told the truth, con-
sldered an abstraction, an attempted abstraction
OF letter grave ofensc as to force him to re-
fuse to aid Mr.. Latham in obtaining, at the hands
of the Legislature, election to the United States
Senate how could he read and retain in his posses
sion private letter, addressed to Mr.. Anderson
with whom he says he chad no acquaintance" and
from whom he consequently could not have obtain
ed it?
The Standard is most cgregiously mistaken in
supposing that DR.. Gwin's letter to Mr.. Ander.
son was private. The letter was intended as
an electoneering document. and copies of il
were written out and circulated among the
Gwin faction for the purpose of carrying the
primary election of 1857 in this county A
copy Of the letter was sent US that year for pub
lcation, but as it was not received until after
the primary election had been held we cousid-
cred its publication would be useless. We pre-
sumo Mr. Broderick read the letter 10 this place
because he could here establish the fact that II
was genuine copy of the original. A docu-
ment intended for circulation among the mem.
bers of political party cannot be regarded as
private letter.

neat among those who thus manifested their

J. W. CoRFRoTH.-This political weathercock
was called to the stand last Monday evening,
and was received with loud cheers. He at first
declined speaking, but on being requested to
go on, he gave heart-rending description Of
the rough aud rugged road be had travelled
While outside OF the Democratic organization,
and thanked bis stars that he had got back in
TO the true fold. The anecdote would have
been pretty good had it been original, but it
was taken bodily from speech delivered last
year, at Tammany Hall, by John Van Buren,.
We are afraid Mr.. Cofroth has not seen she end
Of the rugged road of politics.

The San francisco Herald. OF Friday last, in
speaking of the Lime Point Fraud. says:
While on this subject we will say that it was not
Mr. Broderick's representations that defeated the
Lime Point purchase. The friends Of that Senator
give him credit for influence with the Secreta-
~ of War than he really possessed. Mr.. Floyd was
moved to the rejection of that purchase by state
ments other than those made by Mr.. Broderick
The Herald is usually correct in stating facts,
but in this case we think its malignity towards
Senator Broderick has caused il to make a
statement which is disproved by the positive
declaration of the Secretary of War. The fol-
lowing note from Mr.. Secretary Floyd, direct
ed to F. W. Hughes. the agent of Mr.. Throck-
morton, which will be found appended to the
report of the Senate investigating committee.
