ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE
SAN FkANCIsco, July 20.

SAN FkANcrsco, July 20.
The Sonora arrived at $50, p. m, yesterday,
with New York dates to July 5th.
By European arrivals, news of another great
battle is received. Napoleon had telegraphed to
the French Empress that on the oath of June a
terrible battle was fought, resulting in splendid
victory to the allied army. The whole force
Of the Austrian and allied armies was engaged.
The Austrian army formed in line of battle, ex-
tending Is miles. Four hundred thousand men
fought, the battle lasting from o'clock in the
morning until in the evening. A Vienna dis
patch says the battle was still progressing, and
no details had been received. The French gov
ernment had demanded permission of Hanover
to march 10000 troops through that country to
the Rhine. Prussia threatens TO assist in sup
pressing the Hungarian revolutionary movement
A dispatch confirms the report that Russia will
assist France Germany will go to the assistance
of Austria. Report says the French lost 1900
killed aud wounded
The distance travelled by the aral ship Allan
tic was 1850 miles. Started from st. Louis at
GAO p. m, Friday, and landed at Henderson,
Jefferson Co., N. Y, at 2:20, p. M, Saturday.

BUILDINGS REPLACED--Persons disposed to
doubt the energy and iudomitable enterprise Of
Caifornians under affecting circumstances. can
have satisfactory evidence of the same by look
at the burnt district, which, three weeks ago.
presented q most desolate appearance, Nearly
all the buildings destroyed are either replaced or
going up. Comstock & Martin have finished
their new Larn and stable-l0O feet deep, and
capable Of accommodating fifty animals. Their
Office will be completed in few days. The
"Polka " building is nearly ready for use. VIM.
Little has completed store one Of his lots for
In Fong d Co, Chinese merchants. Fred. Walter
has repl acel the building near the bridge. Frost
~ Co, have finer shop than before, and all the
work they can do. Crowley has completed two,
and is putting up another China house above
Frost d Co.. on the west side. James Cochran is
building next. David Hines has erected spen.
did building where the St. Charles stood-at
least one-third larger than the old one, intended
to accommodate one hundred lodgers Max Lang
is in his new store; Woods stables are in use,
and 0. Fox, Esq, is building on the &" Indepen-
dcnce " site. Levi Dodge is putting up new
building on his lot adjoining the Magnolia
a. j. Felter is erecting house where the car

will all be occupied. and then strangers will in

CAMP MEETING IN CALAvERAs.-They have had
a camp meeting near Vallecito, and great many
people were in attendance. The San Andreas
Independent chronicles the fact, and utters its
opinion, " that camp meetings are eminently an
American institution, receiving their greatest
encouragement in those sections in which least is
known Of fashionable foibles and where the
brOadest hospitality is practiced by all classes,
When the harvest is gathered from the fruitful
fields of the Ohio Kentucky, Cumberland, or
Missouri, nothing more natural than that the sea-
son of rest which follows should be devoted to
the praise of Him whose ever bounteous hand
supplies the simple wants of the pioneer They
have no temples of high art,
" To gather and roll back the sound Of anthems"
but amid the :" cool and silence" Of Gods first
temples" they repair for "prayer and supplica-
ton" Yes, the camp meeting is an institution
in the great west Hundreds of miles from the
stra ggng fence that marks the little cornfeld of
the last white settlement, where the Yellowstone
the Big Horn, sweeps down the plain through
groves Of cottonwood, the intrepid missionary
erects his cross undcr the waving foliage Of the
forest, and summons the dusky warriors TO wor-
ship"
That's all very pretty, but isn't there heap
o'mischef done at camp meetings, generally
Is the doctrine of soul-saving alone practiced at
Calaveras camp meetings? Eh

PRIMARY MEETING INcIDENT-Many laugbable
things have occurred during the late primary
meetings and conventions, and the following is
The 10th, miner from West Weaver, who noticed
pretty much everybody voting without objection,
concluded that lie might be a democrat for the
time, and accordingly presented his ticket to the
teller. His vote was challenged by one of the
