has detected 1t charges the Constitu-
tion the Administration organ) with
leyying black mail upon the Department

that each and every clerk employed shall

he has declined to run for Congress in
the Vicksburg district. He says:
Had I regarded it as at all probable
that the African Slave Trade question
would form prominent issuein the pend
ing Congressional contest, there was no
sacrifice which / would not cheerfully
have incurred in order to meet the wishes
of those who have in such various forms,
in different parts Of the District, and with
out regard to ancient party names, or
worn-out party issues, called upon me to
participate in the fierce struggle for as
tendency now about commencing in Mis-
sissippi, and which, however it shall re-
suit, it is to be hoped will not prove as
to the best interests of the
country, as at one time there seemed to
be so much reason to apprehend would
be the case.

THE BATTLE OF s0LFERINo.

The Times publishes letter written
upon the battle field of Solferino, which
states that the battle commenced Just
before s o'clock in the morning Of the
gath ult.
The Austrians had crossed the Mincio
for the purpose of attacking the Allied
army, and had taken up a strong position
on the hill near Castiglione.
The French attacked the position with
great impetuosity, and soon drove the en-
envy from the nearest points to the town,
and pursued them into the small village
on the plain below. the first of which was
the village of Solferino, at which point
the Austrians made a stand and disputed
every inch of ground, fighting with the
utmost desperation.
Here the hottest of the battle was
fought the Austrians being driven out OF
Solferino by the heroic band of French
under the command of Gen. Neill, return
ed again and again to the charge, twice
retaking the position, and it was not un-
til the French had driven them out for
the third time that the Austrians finally
abandoned the place, and concluded to
stay cut.
The brunt of this terrible conflict for
the possession of Solferino was borne by
the corps of $4,000 under Gen. Neill who
was created Marshal of France on the
field.
The possession of Soifcrino enabled
Gen. Neill to pierce the Austrian centre,
and to him and his gallant corps is ascri-
bed the highest credit, as being chiefly
instrumental in the success of the Allies
The people of the village of Solferino
took part in the battle against the French,
firing from their windows and the tops of
their houses, which compelled the French
to burn the town.
The Austriams fell back on Volta, and
planted formidable batteries on the verge
of the hills surrounding the place, and
about one mile from the river Mincio.
The French attacked their position
and captured it at the point of the bayo-
net, after terrible cannonade of one
hour, when part of the Austrian army
crossed the Mincio, retreating along the
whole line. The battle continued to
rage with terrible carnage over the re-
gion northwest of the line running through
Castiglione, Solferino and Volta, the Aus
trians continually retreating after making
temporary stands and keeping up sharp
cannonade to protect their retrogade
movements.
A tremendous thunder storm occurred
during the battle, and the combatants
were obliged to suspend operations for
about an hour. After the thunder storm,
a heavy cannonading commenced on the
extreme left of the entire field, Fifteen
miles in extent,) and on the borders of
the Lake, northeast from Castiglione, and
west of Preschiera.
This proved to have. been occasioned
by the attack of the Sandman army, I'M
der King Victor Emanuel, and most
sangunary conflict followed.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We publish the following Platform as
an item of news 1t gives Douglas the
short end of the swingletree
The following platform was adopted
by the State Convention, without dis
senting voice
Resolved, That we announce as the
basis of party action the platform ofprin-
ciples laid down by the Democratic party
at the National Convention of 1856 and
hold that the doctrine Of non-ntcrven-
ton with the institution of slavery in
States, Territories, or District Of Comm-
bia, does not, nor WAS il intended to con.
f1ict with the assertion Of the power OF
Congress to protect the property of the
citizens Of the several States, who may
choose to settle in the Territories, which
are the common property of all the States.
Rcsolrea, That in The language of the
Supreme Court of The United States, that
" the right of property In slaves is lis-
tinctly and expressly affirmed in the Con-
stitution"-and :" the only power over it
conferred upon Congress. Il the power
coupled with the duty of guarding and
protecting the owners in their rights as
thus declared.
Resolved, That Mississippi will stand
by her sister slave-holding States in in
sisting upon the enforcement by all the
departments of the federal government
of their constitutional rights as thus ex-
pounded by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Resolred, That in the event of the cleo
ton of a Black Republican candidate for
the Presidency, by the suffrages of one
portion of the Union only, to rule over
the whole United States, upon the avow-
ed purpose of that organization, Missis-
sippi will regard it as declaration of
hostility, and will hold herself in readi-
ness, separately or in concert, to cooper
ate with her sister States of the South,
in whatever measures they may deem
necessary for the maintenance of their
rights as co-equal members of the con-
federacy
Resolved, That we feel it incumbent
upon the Democracy of Mississippi again
to declare that the acquisition of Cuba
by the United States is a commercial
and political necessity, and that we will
hail with pleasure every proper measure
that looks to its accomplishment, and fur
Their, we can neve consent to its appropri-
alton by any foreign power.
Resolred, That we endorse, in the main,
the policy of the present administration.
u Gov. A. G. Brown says the South
must have slave code for the Terrific
ries or burst up the the Charleston Con-
vention when it meets. The National
organ Of the Democracy says, 1T is we'll
known, the party is opposed to the enact
ment of a Congressional Slave Code for
the Territories |" Somebody must knock
under, Brown-Slave- Code Democracy
must dry up and suspend its ranting, or
National Democracy must wilt. The is
sue cannot we'll be lodged.
