THE HORRORS OF WAR.

The correspondent of the London Telegraph
thus writes of the scene presented after the
battle of Solferino -
Tie rlain of GuidiEzolo is really horrible to
look upon. Even SO late as yesterday the dead
were not all buried. They were to be seen in
groups of twenty and thirty, huddled together
10 one spot, where she'll bad exploded or the
Ghasseurs d'Afrique had passed. All still
maintained tie attitude in which death had
struck them down. Here was one with upiift-
ed arm 10 ward off the blow which had split
open kis skull, aud splasbed bis brains far and
near. Close by was another, with bis hand
upon his breast, Sbivered and rent by the grape.
Another seemed 10 be smiling, as If 10 cry
OF the grim warriors approach. Some were
lying upon their backs with faces.turned towards
heaven, aud prayers still seemed 10 linger upon
their lips.
Further On, there was Hungarian, who had
thrust his clothes iuto d CHASTITY wound near
The heart. At bis left was Tyrolese, with
unused cartridge between bis teeth. To the
rights Groat had bis mead cut off by bali, ,and
bis head was by bis side, With its horrible eyes,
elaring and leering, as it seemed, at the dis
menbered body. Two young lads, of certainly
not more tha1 sixteen, we're lying in each
others arms. Death had surprised them in
that attitude; or, perhaps, feeling themselves
about to die, they had elung together in last
embrace, aud had fallen, thus never TO rise
again. Upon the body of Bohemian cffcer
we noticed dog, waiting, apparently, for bis
master to get up.
On every side 1t was the same. Death, in
his most horrible aud CHASTITY form, glared at
Us, no matter where We went.

him repeatedly The Marshal seemed delighted
with the child. and fondled ber mos. tenderly,

From washington.

New YORK, March 21.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent says that the question of
an extra session of Congress is at last decided.
The President has authorized telegraphic
dispatch to be sent to Senator Gwin, who sails
for California tomorrow, that there will be no
extra session.
An authoritative statement is being prepared,
which will probably be made public Tomorrow
or Wednesday, showing the condition of affairs
and the manner in which the Post-ofice Depart
ment for the present is to be conducted. As
before stated, the Department will not issue
certificates, or adopt any means not strictly
within the letter Of the law. That it intends
to cut down the service, is highly probable, and
do away with many unnecessary expenditures.
In fact, there will be general reform of the
whole service, which, in the opinion of the
| President and Postmaster Holt, is much
| needed.
No action, whatever, has been taken on the
subject of the Boston post-ofice. Hence all
| speculations as to what will be done in the
| premises are unreliable. .-..
The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the
Engineer in Chief to require the contractors fol
the sloop-of-war Lancaster, to place on it Sill
ver's Marine governor.
The Grand Jury has under consideration the
case Of Peter S. Duval, of Philadelphia, which
was certified to the District Attorney for the
District of Columbia, by order of the House, o.
the instance of the Special Committee to exam
| inc the accounts of Mr.. Seaman, Elk -Superin.
