ATTEMPT TO Poison NAPOLEON ILL.,
We take the following extract from the let
ter of a correspondent of the Providence
Journal, dated Florence, June 10th. The
story may be true or may not-at all events,
it will be new to our readers, and we give
it for what it is worth:
A French officer here tells the following
story. He says it has not been printed in
the French journals-and certainly we have
seen no account-but the fact is known to
the army, and the story is true. On Good
Friday, if at no other time in the year, all
good Catholics partake of the communion.
On that day, the 21st of April last accord
ing to his habit, the Emperor was to receive
the consecrated wafer in the chapel of the
Tuileries.. Before going to the chapel, he
was told that he must not eat the holy par
ticle that was to be offered him, as it had
been prepared with a subtle and malignant
poison for the purpose of destroying his life.
The informant was party to the diabolical
secret, but horror of conscience and re7er-
ence for the Emperor, led him to betray the
conspiracy. The Emperor knelt at the al
tar during the mass, but did not eat the
bread. When the office was finished, the
officiating priest was invited into the apart
ment of the Empress to partake of COLA
ton, while the wafer was submitted to chem;
ical examination. It was found to contain,
as the informant had said, concentrated
poison. The priest is now in a fortress, in
Algeria. The soldier says that the priest
was an instrument of the Jesuits; but whc-
ther in Italy, Austria, France or England,
is not understood. So much for the story.

s@- The French Emperor employed the
brothers GODDARD to take an observation from
a balloon of the position of the enemy at
Castelnedolo. NJ. GODDARD rose to height
of from 500 to 700 yards, stopped for min
ute or so, and then descended again, With
as much regularity as he had shown in as
cending. 1t is believed that the balloon
will be a useful auxiliary in the war.

sums of money. We hope he will soon cease

Gbore 4o&trg,
From the New England Farmer.
JUST FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
BY A. WILLARD HALLocK

BYA. WILLARD HALLocK.
Pm thinking of the place, John,
Where oft we used to roam,
That little cot beneath the trees
We called our forest home.
And we'll know you'll ne'er forget,
Whate'er yourlot below,
That dear old spot we loved so well,
Just fifteen years ago.
I'm thinking of the school, John,
The master, too, so grim,
And how when he would turn his back,
We twain would mimic him.
The master sleeps deaths dreamlest Sleep
The bright green turf below
Our childhood's home has vastly changed.
Since fifteen years ago.
Last summer time wandered, John,
To where we used to play;
The school house was not on the hill,
The brook had dried away;
The old mill-wheel had ceased to move,
The cottage was laid low
The faces were not those we knew
Jus, fifteen years ago.
I wandered to the churchyard, John,
And stepped beyond the wall;
The graves we're many, and the grass
Ger them grew thick and tall;
Upon the stones read the names
or those who slept below,
And they were names we loved to speak
Just fifteen years ago.
With saddened heart I turned away,
And gained the dusty road
And from that spot so dear to me,
With rapid step strobe;
I could not bear to look around,
1t made me sad to know
That all were gone whom he had loved
Just fifteen years ago.
NV eyes are wet with tears, John,
They are falling while write,
Friends that we loved are cold in death,
And lam sad to night;
But, John, our sorrows soon will end,
Life's stream will cease to flow,
And we rest where erst we played,
Just fifteen years ago.

ARKANSAS CURRENcY.-After the 4th
of July it will he unlawful for any person to
pass or receive in the State of Arkansas any
bank bill of less denomination than ten dol
lars. After the 4th of July, 1860, no bill
of less denomination than twenty dollars
can be put or kept in circulation. This is
approximating to specie currency.

The Moaiteur publishes the following des-
patch from the Emperor to the Empress:

The French loss amounts to 72O officers
and 1000 men killed and wounded, includ-
ing 7 colonels and lieutenant colonels Kill
led and FIVE generals wounded.

RAILROAD SLAuaHTERs.-Referring to ia
bles, regularly kept in that establishment,
the N. Y. Herald finds the number of per-
sons killed and wounded by railroad accidents
during the last six years and half in the
United States recorded as follows, and con-
trasting very unfavorably with similar tables
for Europe:
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1859-07-21

This, says the Herald, shows a fearful
balance of homicides against the railroad
companies of the United States. Twice and
half as many killed and nearly thrice as
many wounded here as in fourgreat countries
of Europe, each of two of them greatly ex'
ceeding the American Republic in popula-
ton, and one of them being at least equal to
it in the number of inhabitants. How is
this to be explained? What have the rail-
way directors to say for themselves in reply
to this indictment? What reason IS there
more lives should be lost by railroads here
than in any country Of Europe with the same
population None whatever. Now, the
loss of life and limb is about twelve times as
great here as in the countries Of Europe
when the comparative population is taken
into the account.

CHANCES OF PEAcE.-From Christmas
to Easter, Europe was engaged in the en-
deavor to avoid war and to escape the so.
luton of the Italian question by force of
arms. Had Lord Derby been less Aus
trian, and Austria less obstinate, Francis
Joseph might have held his own in Italy at
the price of abandoning what belonged to
others. By the sacrifice of few illegal
treaties and of an undue influence, the Kai-
ser might have retained undisturbed posses
sion of the Lombardo Venetian kingdom
1t was not to be So. Austria drew the sword
and struck for her wrongs, instead of re-
naming content with her rights. From
Easter to midsummer the tide of war has
rolled eastward, and now the huge wave
pauses a moment before the last Austrian
defence, soon to overwhelm it. Before
Michaelmas pen and paper will have their
full scope, diplomacy will be arranging the
terms of peace; but not yet. Negotiation
is at this moment absurd. 1t is idle to sup

the Allies at the Mincio, and save some por-
ton of her Italian kingdom for Austria
France aud Sardinia are pledged to free Italy.
1t was Austria who appealed to the arbitra-
ment of the sword, and by the fortune of war
she must abide. Now, it is scarcely pre-
sumptuous, after such succession of victo,
ries, to suppose that the allied arms will
succeed in their object. The battle of Sol
ferino has shattered the whole strength Of
the Austrian army. Peschiera must fall
The Mincio will be in the command of the
Allies. The famous quadrilateral will be-
come triangle. There remains, then, only
the siege of Verona This proving success
full, combined with the advance Of Prince
Napoleon, of the Adriatic expedition, aud
of the gunboats up the Po, will leave no al
tentative to the Austrians but to seek safe
ty iu the flight. Italy will then be free, anc
the work of France and Sardinia be accom-
plished.

ming of 1850 to the close of 1855, only
amounted to the following figures:

A Paris letter gives few details of the
first great battle in Italy. General Neil,
with thirty FIVE thousand men and two d.
visions of cavalry, in all about fifty thous'
and, were engaged till 4 P. NJ, when he
succeeded in forcing the Austrian centre,
after twelve hours fighting. The Austrians
had brought up their reserves of eighty
thousand, and the Allies theirs of fifty thou
sand. 1t was most critical moment
Three hours more, and the general fighting
ended to the advantage of the Allies. The
Zouaves are said to be much cut up, and the
lst Chasseurs of Algeria terribly treated
Four generals were wounded and one killed.
Fourteen thousand beds have been comman-
ded at Milan for the wounded.
The reason why the Austrians crossed the
Mincio to fight is attributed to the sugges-
ton of the Prince of Prussia, who said if
they gained the battle, the Intervention of
Prussia would not be needed. If the Allies
followed the Austrians across the water that
would alter the question. The French gov
ernment does not appear alarmed at the mil
itary movements of Prussia. The garrison
on the entire frontier have not been reinfor-
ced. Marshall Pelissier has made arrange
ments with the railways to convey thirty
thousand troops from Strasburg within
twelve hours, so that one hundred thousand
men may be assembled on the Rhine within
thirty-six hours.
PARIS, June 29.-The Mouiteur contains
details of the battle of Solferino, but which
are reports of the different attacks of the
corps Rarmee. The Moniteur does not state
the number of killed and wounded on either
side. "The Austrians on the first retreat
across the Mincio desired to inspire US with
adventurous confidence Thus we should
deploy our lines to great extent, and ena-
BILE them to attack our columns thus distant
from each other. But the Emperor without
departing from that exalted prudence which
regulates courage, the further the army ad,
vanced the more the columns strengthened
themselves by concentration. Solferino is
one of those battles which, if they do not
end war, at least allow the solution 60 be
foreseen. The Emperor of Austria CON-
manded in person, and had thus been able
to see of what a nation he had made himself
the enemy"
TURIN 2STH-The Piedmoutese Gazette
publishes official details of the battle of Sol.
ferino, written the same evening. Accor-
to positive information, twenty-five thousand
Sardiuians held ground against fifty thousand
Austriaus, vino occupied formidable posi-.
ton, from which they were dislodged by
the Sardinians, under the orders of the King
The loss of the Sardinians is said to beabout
one thousand killed, and same number wouu-
ded.
The Times correspondent at Parisreports
that project is opened for mobiliziug one
hundred battalions of the National Guard,
and recognizing them for garrison duty
On the 9th an aide-d camp of the Empe-
ror Alexander left St. Petersburg for Italy,
said to be bearer of an autograph letter from
the Gar to the Emperor Napoleon.
