ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Battle Of Solferino.

NeU York, July ll.-fhe steamers City of
Baltimore and Adelaide arrived at an early
hour Sunday morning, bringing dates from
Liverpool to the 30th of June, one day later
than the advices recently received.
The Battle of Solferino.-The London
Times contains some further particulars with
regard to the great battle of Solferno though
the details have not yet been received.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
that Gen. Mel, with 81, 900 men, and two di
visions OF French cavalry, in all about $4,000,
was engaged until four o'clock, p. NJ, when he
succeeded in forcing the Austrian centre. after
twelve hours hard fighting. The Austrians
had brought up their reserves of $4,000, and.
the allies their reserves, to the number of so 900
1t was most critical moment, but in three
hours more the general fighting ended to the
advantage of the allies.
The Zouaves are said to have been much cut
up, and the first Chasseurs of Algeria terribly
treated. Four Generals we're wounded, and
one killed. Some idea of the number wounded
may be formed from the fact, that $4,000 beds
were commanded at Milan for the accommoda-
ton of the wounded.
The Piedmontese Gazette, dated Turin, j une
20, publishes the official details of the battles,
written the same evening, and, according to
positive information, $4,000 Sardinans held
tHci SHouuuS against 0UUUV VINO
occupied the formidable position from which
they were dislodged by the Sardinians, under
the direct orders and leadership of King Victor
Emanuel. The loss of the Sardinians is said
to be about 1000 killed and the same number
wounded.
The Times Paris correspondent reports
project opened for mobilizing one hundred bat
talions of the National Guard, and reorganizing
them for garrison duty.
Gen. Gyulai, ex-commander-in-chie of the
Austrian army, has taken command as colonel
of regiment bearing his name.
Count Pourtales, the Prussan Ambassador,
has arrived at the headquarters of the Austrian
army.
The city of Laybach has been fixed as the
seat of Government for Lombardy.
The Austrian headquarters are at Verona.
France is preparing to move an army on the
Rhine.
Massacre Of Perugia.-We have some add
tional details of the massacre of the inhabitants
Of Perugia, by the Popes Swiss Guard, for
which their commander has been promoted by
order of the Pope.
The details state that neither age2 nor sex
was spared. Among those murdered by the
soldiers after the fighting had ceased were three
married couples, FIVE elderly ladies, three un-
married females, one girl four years old, &C.
An infant was taken from its mothers breast
and thrown into the Tiber.

fusion without abandoning our most cherished
principles. 1t we thus abandon our organizl-
tion and principles, the Pro-Slavery element OF
the Opposition. claiming to be Conservatives,
Americans, DC, will control the action of the
Convention, and doubt not the result at the
ballotboxes will be, as it certainly ought to be,
overwhelming and disgraceful defeat.
The Republicans of the West, and doubtless
large majority of the Republicans of the Un-
ION, will unite with us in urging the National
Committee to adopt the principle of representa-
ton, and, when they issue their call, to address
1t to the Republicans, and all friends of Free
dom IN the United States, and invite them to
assemble in their respective Congressional dis
tricts in each State, and unite in electing dele
gates to the Republican National Convention
on the following basis, to wit: One delegate
for each Congressional district, without regard
to the number of Republican votes cast and
another delegate for every 5000 Republican
and American and AntiLecompton Democratic
votes cast unitedly for one State ticket at the
last State elections and for every fraction of 900
such votes cast, an additional delegate. Said
delegates to be elected by ballot at Conventions
held in each Congressional district, and not by
State Conventions. The Republican State
Conventions of the several States only electing
taco or four delegates las the National Com
hin'cc may agree ior tne Stdte AT large, 10
act as Senatorial delegates
If this plan is adopted, there can be no doubt
of the character and standing of large majority
of the delegates who will attend the Conven-
ton, and there will be some assurance, in adj
vance, that the result of the deliberations of
such body of men will be ratified by the peo-
pie. If the principle of representation should
not be adopted, however, and an Opposition
Convention is called, all will be uncertainty,
and few desperate men, by a bold move, may
divide and defeat us, while victory is certain
FIVE stand firmly by our organization and priH-
ciples.
Will the Republican press of the Union re-
main quiet, while all open proposition is being
persistently urged, which, if adopted, will most
certainly insure our defeat; or will they speak
out, and prevent, as they alone can do, the pos
sibility of such contingency? INA

The State Convention of the Republicans
of Maine assembled at Portland on the 18th
instant, and unanimously nominated the pres
ent efficient and worthy Governor, Lot. NJ.
Morrill,, for reelection, and adopted series of
the right kind of resolutions, among which were
resolves advocating free homestead law which
shall secure to each settler on the public do
main farm of 100 acres, and endorsing the
doctrine of genuine popular sovereignty, but
not that which would be likely to meet the ap-
probation of Senator Douglas, since popular
sovereignty as explained by the Maine Repub-
licans signifies " the right of the people of every
State and Territory to establish their own in
stitutions in their own way, subject only to the
constitutional powers of Congress, and the re-
straints of just morality" but denouncing
emphatically " the heresy that one class Of men
have the right to enslave another, as as auda-
cous denial of the doctrine in question" This
kind of popular sovereignty will do.

The Washington Constitution says:

Should Judge Douglas and his friends sue
coed in their efforts at the North, and Gov.
Wise and his friends succeed in their efforts at
the South, the result will be, that when the
Democratic Convention meets, the party will
find itself divided geographically and sectional
ly-the North demanding squatter sovereignty,
as held and expounded by Judge Douglas and
his friends, with the united South opposing it ;
and the South demanding Congressional inter
vention, as held by Gov. Wise and his friends,
and united North opposing it. Thus arrayed
against each other, the inevitable result must
be- that the party will be distracted and divided,
and must fall to pieces, if left in the hands of
these two antagonizing factions to decide and
control its future fate"
