Great Britain, announcing he fact that the sum
of 95, 400 sterling, with interest accruing from
1886, is now lying to his credit in the Bank OF

The Wounded in the Battle.
CAsT1GLIoyE, Monday, June

CAsTIGLIoSE, Monday, June Of
This place presents Just now hideous spec
tace OF human sufferInC-every church, every
house is full Of wounded and the arcades are so
crowded that there is hardly room for the pasSer-
by. The mortality among them amounts TO be-
yond one hrndred day; but these princi-
pally among them who were brought late from
the field Several hopeless cases, where death
must superyene within a very short time have
been left there, in order to give chance to those
to whom removal might offer chance of recov-
cry. THIS appears terrible alternative, but 1t
cannot be helped all the carts of the contad5ni
are taken up for the purpose, and the peasants
themselves are so entirely occupied IN transport
ing the living that the burial of the dead was
rot entirely completed yesterday. The whole
road from Castiglone - Montechiaro. and the
places in the vicinity where the wounded can
be placed, IS covered with lines of vehicles going
full and returning bither for more, who are sent
away as soon the first dressing and necessary
operations are concluded. / saw a Hungarian
boy of not more than II put into cart after
having had his foot taken off above the ankle, TO
90 / , miles TO another small town where there
was still accommodation left. French and Aus
triaus are treated alike; but the want of accom-
mediation is very great, although, considering
the weather, those lie out all night now arc no
worse off than those within indeed they must
breathe puTer air than he others The woun-
ded French officers have mostly gone to differ
ent villages in the neigllborhood, or to Brescia,
where they can be better attended TO than here.

Letter from Judge Larrabee.

Judge LARRABEE. ". G. elect from the Sd Con-

subscribers to the Campaign Nctes of Milwaukee.
Circulars with his signature attached are scat
tered abroad among the faithful. urging them TO
make more effort to grab the spoils for
which they have so long hankered. The Re-
publican party is charged with extravagance
and waste when he knows that the State Tax
has been reduced TO less than one halt the a
mount levied under the last Democratic Barstow
Administration. The following extract from his
letter shows the unhappy state of his mind, and
also what a savage executioner we NAV expect.

Homicide In EdSeAeld.

A correspondent of the Augusta Dispatch, wri-
ting from Edgefeld, on the 10Th instant, relates
the following:
"a most lameutablc affair came off near the
Rel Oak Grove Church, in this district, yesterday
morning, ut 8 o'clock a. m. Levi II. Mcdaniel
was killed by three balls fired by John II. Jones,
IA well digger from revolver.
"The whole neighborhood hos since been the
scene of intense excitement. The evidence, in
substance, was, that there having been an old
feud between them for several months, and hav.
ing met in the road, the deceased said he could
whip Jones, anl 60. off his horse and pulled off
his coat, and made Mt Jones, whercupon Jones
fired three times. The deceased walked about
thirty yards, fell and expired in few moments.
The verdict of the coroner's inquest is, that Levi
II. Mcdaniel came to his death from the effects
of pistol balls fired by the hand Of John H. Jones.
Jones is not arrested up to this time"
