MIR. RAYMOND on the War.

Mr.. Raymond, Of the New York Times. in his
last letter to his paper, from italy, speaking of
what he considers the incapacity of the Emperor
Of Austria, says:
Gen Gyulai has been disgraced for the loss of
Magenta, and private accounts represent him as
ed by the ruin of his professional character vet he
has friends who say that if the time ever comes
when he can place the responsibility where it
belongs, he will be acquitted. Three distin-
guished Generals-Clam Gallas, Prince Lichten-
stein and Zadewtz-are said to have thrown up
their commands, since Solferino; this could ONLY
have happened under the pressure of some very
grave and imperative necessity On the field at
Solferno, Francis Joseph is said TO have address
ed an angry reprOof to one Of his oldest Generals
who instantly broke his sword across his knee and
threw 1t at bis fect-the Emperor burst into tears
and held Ont both his hands begging pardon for
the offence he had given. All these things with
many Others of the same kind that might be men,
TONED, indicate a state of complete demoraliza-
nothing can be more fatal than such state of
things to the vigorous and successful prosecution
Of a war The Allies on tho contrary are COM
pletely united. The King. Victor Emanuel with
admirable judgment, accepts the place simply of
General OF a corps d'armee. and gives to Napoleon
the supreme command of the whole allied armies
and the most pei feet harmony prevails in eyery
department Of the combined force"
Giving further account of bis visit to the field
Of solferino the day after the battle Mr. RAYMOND
says:
After crossing the plain, we came upon the
camp OF Gen Canrobert, which was pitched in an
orchard on the right Of the road Scores Of officers
sat In their tents in state of deshabiIt owing to
the intense heat and nearly all engaged in writing
One soldier, to get into the shade had gone to the
very bed of the deep ditch that bordered the road
and with his naked feet in the water aud a sheet
OF paper on 4 board across his knee was probably
giving his friends at home a vivid picture of the
Perils and halr-breadth scapes he had encountered
Since reaching here. have seen private letter
from soldier now in hospital at Alsano to his
mother, in which he says that his company " as
the first that scaled the heights at Cavrana; that
the Emperor Francis Joseph was al one time not
more than twenty feet from them and that if their
nuskets had not all been unloaded they could hav
shot his horse and made him prisoner
'Quite number Of officers Of both armies re-
mained on the field unburied ON the third day
after the battle. One of them-an A ustrian-had
evidently lived some time after falling; for he hal
taken his Portmonnaie out Of his poe xet and ia ken
from 1t his visiting card, which he placed upon
MS breast, that he might be identified when bis
body should be found. As general thing the
omcers were buried in separate graves, instead OF
being thrown like the common soldiers into a
common trench. The body of Prince Wipdjs
grstz which was found on the field, was sent into
tne Austrian camp at the special request of the
Emperor - "
