ANOTHER BATTLE TO BIZ FOUGHT.

That the battle of Magenta is not victory Of the
French, in the usual sense Of that word is proved
by the fact that the Austrians have not retreated
and have not been pursued. A victory is where
one party is badly injured by the conflict that he
is obliged to abandon his ground and to withdraw
from the presence Of the enemy, IN order, Louis
Napoleon expresses it, to rest snd reorganize his
forces In this process he is liable To be pursued
| and hsrassed by the yictor and the more decided
the defeat the greater the certainty aud the more
severe the damage Of the pursuit But 10 the pres
ent case, instead of falling back Of the AustrsIs
they take up new and formi liable position flank
| ing the French line of march. This indicates very
plainly that the Austrian bulletins perfectly
! rect when they speak Of the fighting as not yet
completed. 1t is apparent that another battle
must yet take place before the Allies can occupy
Milan in safety. The report oi that battle, wa can
hardly fail TO receive by the Persia due here this
morning.
| OF course speculation is of very little value in
| the absence Of positive intelligence to proceed
upon; but il seems probable that in moving BY
Noyara and Bufialora the French succeeded in
turning the flank Of the Austrians. and indeed
greatly TO their military discredit took them by
surprise This is our inference from the facts, that
when the battle began Saturday morning, only
two brisades of the frs. Austrian corps there
TO fight; that the third corps did not come up til
afternoon, when the battle had been raging for
some hours: and that il was not til next day that
the two additional corps arrived upon the field
There is another thing which streng CITIZENS the idea
that il was a turning movement and a surprise;
and thiss the disgrace and degradation of paraguay
d'IIilliers He was one of Nspoleon's most trusted
officers He commanded the extreme right Of the
allies and unless his force had been brought up at
the last moment, was not in the battle at all His
duty probably was to engage the attention Of the
Aus,rans by demonstrations on their left while the
main body of the French army turned their right If
this was his Office, he certainly failed TO accomplish
il; since the Austrians, though they may have been
surprised were not routed, but came to the en-
gagemcnt in perfect order. inside pretty stout re-
/ sistance and, when the two dsys' work was done,
were still on the spot, resdy for further fighting
At any rate, We msy be sure that only the gravest
| cause could have induced the French Emperor To-
dismiss servant OF such long standing as Bsra-
gusy, and Of such servie fidelity 10 his interests
But on al these poiats we trust that we shall to-day
receive full explanations by the arrival of the Ly-
erpool steamer of the llth inst. Her news, which
cannot fail 10 be OF great interest and importance,
will AZ once BE- laid before cur readers in 81 EXTRA
/ TRIBUNE.

DISCOURSE UPON LOVE.
BY GAIL HAMILTON.

/ could wish that women were happier.
TLis may appear needless wish to those
who look only on the surface; but below
the smoothly flowing surface, there is an
undercurrent which the world knoweth
not of. There is restlessness, an unut-
tered diecontent. a vague longing. which
frets, and wears away the cheerfulness
Of life, particularly in the young. 1t is
involuntary, unscught. resisted, but all
powerful. All the capacity for suffer
ing that there is in girls-the capacity,
too, for enjoying and for acting. 1t is
weighed and measured. by those who are
armed for the conflict, girded for the race,
but for whom no conflict and no race
ever wait. II is the slow wasting away
of powers that have nothing to grasp, the
silent, subtitle corrosion Of heart turned
in upon itself. o. girls. everywhere
waiting and watching and watching for
day that never comes, have seen you.
know you. have followed you through
the dreary days that dragged their slow
length along. Ltnow how the tramp Of
the monotonous years seems to you the
dead march of your young aspirations
how the pulse of your heart grows fainter
and fainter, beneath the swelling foun-
tains of tears.
MY heart, and hope and prayers and tears,
Are all with you are all with sou.
and therefore have right to bid you
take heart and hope, for this very unrest
is sign. Il is the grazing Of your soul
against It's prison bars. It is a token
from above voice from the unseen
world. bidding yoa come up higher. 1t
tells you of a 4evel you have not yet
reached OF energies not yet developed;
of life not yet rounded off to full per-
