THE WAR.-0ur Telcgraphic dispatches an
nounce that battle has actually taken place
between the Austrans $1,000 strong, and five
Or six thousand French troops. The scene is
the same as that chosen by the great Emperor
Napoleon for his first encounter with the Aus
TRANS in his second italian campaign in the
summer of 1900. Then, as now, the Austrian
FORCES doubled in numbers those of the French
but were defeated. The indefinite report of the
battle leaves much for conjecture, and from it
indecisive nature leads to the expectation of q
report of something more serious by the mex

The Savannah Republican says; g Philip Nc
Nulty, a travelling agent for a patent bcdstead,
hailing from Ohio, was detected last week in an
attempt to decoy certain slaves of Covington to
free state. The citizens of that place rid
themselves of the scamp by shearing his locks,
applying thick coat of printers ink to his

depot, where he was allowed to depart. Served

THRILLING ESCAPE OF FIVE YOUNG LADIES'
Last Sunday afternoon five young ladies got In
to boat that was tied to tree in the pond of
the upper dam in Ware. In rocking and push
ing the boat around, the fastening became
loosened, and they drifted out into the stream.
In moment they saw their peril. Before them
was the brink Of high dam, at the foot of
which were jagged rocks over which the water
boiled and foamed with destructive fury. The
cries of the young ladies drew together hun
dreds of spectators, who watched with fearful
anxiety the boat drifting slowly toward the edge
of the dam. No other boat was at hand, and a
speedy death seemed certain to the young la
dies.
As the boat with its precious freight neared
the dam, the spectators seemed dumb with hor-
ror. Each looked to the other imploring help,
knowing that help was next to impossible, while
the srieks of the young ladies in the boat pierre
ed tie hearts of their friends with torible an
guish. Among that crowd of men and women
was there no heroic spirit to attempt a rescue
Presently there was stir among the spectators
anu young sailor appeared, who boldly plung-
ed into the water. lie swan along just ABOVE
the flush boards, but it was extremely doubtful
whether he could reach the boat in season tc
prevent it from going over the dam. 1t was Q
moment of fearful suspense. The young mar
struggled through the water, and the boat came
sweeping down upon the current. In another
instant the boat was on the edge of the dam
The young ladies threw up their arms in terror
and many of the spectators turned their eye,
from the fearful sight. But at the same isnstan
the strong arm of the young sailor siezed tn
boat, and bracing himself against the edge O
the dam, held it from going down upon tn
rocks. The ladies were saved! then there aros
from the crowd on either shore wild tumul
tious shout, which was taken up by the hill
around and echoed back to the ears of the ioy
full multitude Slowly, yet surely, the youa
sailor and hero drew the boat to the shore an
delivered to their friends the young Indies h
had rescued. We have not the mime of tn
young man, but we hope to publish it some tim
alongside the name of one of the ladies he ha
saved, among our matrimonial notices. -Paint

HARMoNY.--The Bradford Telegraph DON

HARMONY. Bradford Telegraph don't
symathize with the Patriot in its warfare Fl
nally we guess there are no two Democratic
papers in the State that do sympathise one with
the other. The Telegraph says
We might quote from the Vermont Patriot
to show fixed determination to ostracise every
democrat that does not precisely agree with its
own particular views. The spirit exhibited in
its last issue, is. if possible. more venomous than
ever, and if the Patriot is to be considered al
the organ of any considerable portion of the
Democracy, it certainly indicates any thing but
harmony, and union in the coming State Con
vention.

If fletcher is elected in Virginia, it is by a
small majority. Yet Wise went into office on
$4,000 majority, and Buchanan had 29, 600 ma
jority. Remorse on account of these Presiden-

with cutting down Letchers. For, if disgust
at Democracy has not produced this reactonary
result, we are at loss to sec what has.

The Pixies PEAK DRAMA.-The scenes enacted
on the plains Of Kansas, in consequences of the
explosion of the Pixies Peak humbug, are of
the most tragic as well as touching character.
The Postmaster at Denver City, says a cores
pendent Of the N. Y. Euening Post, was ac-
cused, tried for and convicted of tampering
with the mails, of opening letters, distributing
false reports, purporting to be from the miners
to their Eastern friends. A father was astonish-
ed by the arrival of his son, to whom he had
written a true statement of the poverty of the
mines, and his own intentions o! returning at
the earliest opportunity. Upon ENDURING the
cause Of his starting, the son showed him let
ter purporting to be from himself, and instruct
ing him to make arrangements to leave i'm
mediately for Denver City, The disguised
handwriting was proved to be the Postmaster S
and the father charging him with the deed, he
confessed its truth, and was shot dead on the
spot. A well known contractor, living at st.
Joseph, is also reported to have been shot by
some Infatuated victims of his ialsehoods. A
party going out had determined to return, on
account of the discouraging reports brought by
the reflex tide of emigration, when they met a
man who had the hardihood to assert that he
I had four hundred dollars worth of gold dust in
his possession. lie was offered an hundred dol
lars an ounce Tor all he would produce land fail
ing to exhibit it upon this inducement, they
told him if he did not disgorge they would
shoot him, upon which he confessed that he
had none, never saw SO much as thimble
full, and only made the statement to induce the
emigrants to continue their journey. 1t is sale
that large meetings have been held by the
miners, at which resolutions were passed, call
ing for the entire destruction Of all the frontier
towns which had been instrumental in raising

DR.. Rice and SlaycrE.

Rev. DR.. N. L. Rice il regarded - South
ern man. As such, his triumph in the CON-
test over the Theological Seminary, in Gen.
eral Assembly at Indianapolis, has been re-
garded As . triumph in favor Of pro- slavery
sentiments.
The Presbytsr, published 1t Cincinnati,
takes different view Of the case. DR.. Mum
fort says:
'sThe necessity Of patronage, will forbid
this to be Northern Seminary with South
ern principles. Indeed, DIR. Rice found it
necessary to take high anti slavery ground
before the Assembly. He declared himself
in favor Of the action on slavery by the As
semhly Of 1918, to the letter, and be said he
was opposed to the views OF his pro-slavery
brethren in the South. The Seminary at
Chicago could not be maintained under any
other coiors."
That action of 1918 is decidedly tart on
the subject. We published the substance OF
it some months since. IL is q sterling de-
nunciation of the system Of American slave
~ and worthy the standing and character Of
the Old School Presbyterian Church.

LEAvEEwoRTH, june 81.
The Pixies Peak Express arrived here on
Sunday night, 8 days from Denver City,
bringing large mail and $500 in gold dust.
The previous extraordinary reports OF the
discoveries at Gregory's, Jackson's and 9TH
er mining camps are fully confirmed.
Horace Greeley had arrived out in less
than seven days. He had visited Gregory's
diggings and signed public communication
endorsing the richness of the elaine there.
Thousands of omigrants we're pouring into
new places, and forty new sluices would soon
be In operation at the Gregory claims.
The result Of the operations Of thirteen
companions, given in Horace Greeley's pub
lished letter, shows the highest days yield
to have been $50.

The Manufacsure OF Iron...Cris.
w0Iiss Patent.


A short time ago the st. Louis papers made
an explanation Of the character Of . new
patent, called "Criswelps pasent,' for the
moro economical and superior manufacture
OF iron from the ore. The claims made for
it were very important, If they could be
practically sustained. Some of the most in
Huential men in st. Louis, men of practical
experience and knowledge in such matters,
signed certificate to the effect that they
were fully satis6ed that the process was just
what il claimed to be, and the patent one Of
vast Importance. Since that time still fart
tests have been applied, and the Republican
of the 2lst says the character and value of
the process is settled, beyond all dispute
As an illustration Of the Importance Of it's
results, We may state this fact: First class
rails are now worth $55 per ton at all the
great manufactures in Pennsylvania and
England, aud afford no more than fair
margin for profit at that. BY this process,
the proprietors propose to furnish rails
equally q good for $40 per ton, and say that
they have an equal margin for profit with
those who sell At $55 per ton and manufac.
turs BY tho usual method.
