THE FOREIGN NEWS.

The late arrivals from Europe report nothing
decisive from the seat Of war. The delay of
the Austrians i'll giving battle seems to have
occasoned some perplexity to the foreign Jour-
nalists. but has been accounted for by the
swelling of the rivers from the recent rains.
the breaking down Of the bridges and the arti-
fetal flooding of the country by the Sardinians,
and the more rapid arrival of the French
troops than had been anticipated. Another
reason has been assigned. in the fear which is
entertn ined by Austria, of a revolt on the part
Of the garrisons of Lombardy and Venice
one third of whom said to consist Of Hun
garians. Whatever may be the cause of the
delay, it is likely that the arrival Of the French
Emperor will now expedite the crisis. The
French people are now anxiously anticipating
the news of great victory, and have already
prepared programme Of Thanksgiving for the
joyful occasion. We annex the following
items:

That Chailenr0.

The leaders OF the bogus-democracy OF
this State well knowing the little confidence
the people have in them, and their inability
to draw out the people, during tho canvass,
to listen to their spurious dogmas and more
spurious democracy, they have hit upon the
expedient Of challenging the nominees Of the
Democratic party, thereby hoping to secure
respectable meetings throughout the State
for their nominees. For in no other way
can it be conceived how t4ss masses could be
induced to listen to Mr.. Curry and the rest
of Mr.. Broderick's ticket.
Mr.. Latham having made all his appoint
ments previous to this challenge appearing,
he has offered to meet any man on the bogus
ticket, at either of the places where he is
to speak during the canvass. Thus the
bogusites will have a chance to secure
audiences; but it will do them no good-their
force and prestage has gone. All the good
people" who were inclined to go with them
a year ago, look now upon them with disgust.
They are not even able to secure men enough
10 fill a ticket-surely they cannot nomi-
nate one that has the confidence of ANYBODY
not even themselves. Their State ticket
needs patching up, Ashley will not stand
bis nomination for State Treasurer. In our
own county the bogusites nominated two
members of the american party" on their
legislative ticket, who emphatically repudiate
the ''intended Lonor'
But to return. Mr.. Latham has accepted
their challenge, and we venture the predic.
ton that they will be sorry as long as the
campaign lasts, that lie has. Such
political castigation as he will give them
will be impressed upon their memories as
lcng as life lasts. Not even the most san
guine opponent of the Democratic party
doubt but that the Democracy will carry the
State by an overwhelming majority. Col.
Baker, the republican candidate for Con-
gress, in his opening speech this campaign
admits that lie has no earthly show, and
desires when he has departed from this
vale of tears to be kindly remembered by
his Republican friends as one of the first,
aye, No. martyrs to their Enatical cause
Well, we have no objection-they can en-
balm him if they choose and, like an Egyp.

The Fourth at Gold Hill.

The citizens of Gold Hill had an i'm
promptu celebration on the 4th inst, which
has not been equalled in that place for years.
A number of rounds Of cannon were fired
viii h brought the citizens together, in the
main street Of the place, where the Declara-
ton Of Independence was read by II. w.
Starr, and an oration delivered by Mr.. Geo.
Blame, after which the "Glee Club" sang the
Star Spangled Banner, accompanied by the
assembled multitude. Mr.. Henry, also, de-
livered patriotic address suitable to the oc-
casion, and the company drank in memory
of the signers Of the Declaration of indie.
pendence, and other appropriate toasts.
About three hundred Of the citizens as
sempled together, and our informant says,
that he never bas seen, the 4th Of July,
celebrated in any portion of the Union,
in more pleasant or patriotic manner. The
firing of the cannon brought the people to-
gether, and when the object was ascertain
ed, they Immediately chose their Reader and
Orator, and arranged the order Of exercises
on the ground, and the celebration went
along BY Spontaneous action" This we
hold to be the true way Of celebrating the
anniversaries Of our National Independence.
We have read somewhere that, in the
mountains of Switzerland when the linger-
ing rays Of the setting sun, is shedding his
last CLEAN upon the mountain side, the Swift
zer and family advance in front of their
cottage door, and offer up prayers to the
living God, the adjacent neighbor takes i, up,
and thus it passes from one to another until
all have offered up their devotions.
Why not so with our annual anniversaries!
Let the deep mouth cannon announce its
incoming-let the prayer ascend from every
heart and tongue for the safety Of our coun-
try, and let every city, village and hamlet,
have its own celebration in honor of our
nations national day.

A man entered an auction store in Rochester
Saturday night, for the purpose of robbery.
While inside his conscience smote him, he left
the place without taking anything, seated him
self on a box in front of the store to await the
coming of the proprietor, and then confessed
his purposed crime The repentant rascal
was very properly forgiven.
Eli P. Gerry married a wife six or eight
years ago in Cabot VT, but deserted her
about two years ago for the society of grass
widow, named Eliza L. Ham, with whom he
subsequently located in Hoyoke. Recently
he deserted partner No. 2, and fled with
Hoyoke woman of the town, named Rider,
alias Risley. No. thereupon prepared for
revenge, and caused the recreant son of Adam
to be arrested at Belchertown and committed
to the Northampton jail for trial, on a charge
of adultery. The Mirror says Gerry has now
taken his turn by causing No. to be arrested
on a similar charge, which probably resulted
in her c0mmittal at Northampton on Saturday.
An enterprising citizen of New York offers
to erect koeSkS or sentry boxes throughout the

call.
In a SANDER case in Madison, Wis, court
few days since, proceedings were suspended
in consequence of one of the jury being very

the Sheriff to walk the inebriate about and
sober him, and the process proving salutary,
in an hour or so the court again met and pro-
ceeded with its business.
