then conceive Broadway, a. far a. the eve
can see, TO be filed with an unbroken pro-
cesslon Of just such carts laden in the same
stye,-tbe cattle believing, the drivers
shouting, and with the usual accompaniment
Of great and half regulated crowd, you
I may form some idea Of the character and
magnitude Of this dreadful scene. As gen.
eral thing the wounded made but little
noise. Many OF them were too much exhaust
ed-more Of them cried aloud, and com
paratively few could be heard to groan.
But there was no mistaking the expression
OF their faces, which spoke Of intense agony,
IN spite Of oil their Efforts TO suppress and
CONCUR it. As was riding through the
principal street in Castiglione this after
noon. passing the largest hospital, saw
lying in the street close to the wall, fifty or
sixty wounded Austrans who had just been
brought in from the field, and for whom no
place within the building could be fould.
One OF them, large, powerful man, with an
intelligent face was sitting upright with his
back against the wall, and uttering with u
chatterlng sound the most intense and heart
rending yells of pain. lie looked eagerly
into the face OF every one who passed, as If
he must have help-but he could only await
| his turn.
In another part Of the town, on q cross.road
leading from the hill in front OF Solferlno,
met twenty-0ne OK carts laden with Aus.
TRAN, IN every stage OF suffering. One OF
| the carts contained but two, and in the ey.
tremity Of their agony they had half risen
to their knees, grappIcd one another by the
shoulder. and were gazing into each other 5
faces with a fixed and stony look Of frenzed
horror which | shall never forget.
Just before dark on sunday evening !
looked into the large church in this place to
which the greatest number Of the wounded
were taken. II was Catholic church, of
/ course, as there are no others here. All the
furniture Of every kind had been taken out ;,
from the altar aud side chapel as well as
well as from the nave Of the building, and
upon rows OF mattresses extended length
wise on the stone floor, as closely US they
could lie, the wounded We're placed. All
whose injuries would permit their removal
had been taken away and sent on to Monte
| chiaro, Bre,cia, and other towns, and only
those were left who seemed very near their
end. In one side chapel lay e'gh Austrians
two or three gaspng for breath and in
the very act Of dying-and not one OF the
whole eight could possibly, as it seemed to
me, live an hour The entire floor was
covered with the poor victims Of war, near
ly all rapidly approaching the same ex-
tremity. Men and women, charged with
the care OF them, were passing to aud fro

who might still he saved. And over the
altar, looking down upon It's horrd scene,
was an immense, well-painted, liie-like pie

aud representing the Rcdeemer saying to
those about him, Blessed are The peace
makers for heg shall be caiied the children

did that scene present upon that sacred
text,
KossurI TO THE HUNGARIANs.
Letters from Hungary state that the
whole country is inundated with proclama-
tons from h ossuth, in which he saws:
Six days before the catastrophe Of Villages

brave Magyar nation TO arms to fight of the

In his proclamation kossuth never speaks
Of Austria, but always of the House of
llaIsburg, He declares that the expulsion
Of that dynasty is the mission Of the Hunga-
rian nation. He says that he shall be sup.
ported by power which ten years ago re-
placed the House Of Hapsburg on the throne,
and that power is now engaged in preparing
its arms against the liapsburg. lie then

General klapka has also issued a short
proclamation 10 the Magyars, calling on
them TO take up arms and display the ma
uonal coIors. Among other things he says:
In the hand Of the Magyar every scythe. a.
