THE CONCLUSION OF PEACE.

1he London correspondent Of the Charles

feeling in England with regard to the coptin-

Ihe feeling here is that the peace will be of
snort duration, and that Austria has been let

BATTLE OF SOLFERINO.

Mr.. RAYMOND, of thr New York Times, in
second letter to hispaper about the battle OF
'Soferino, says:
Gall agree that the Austrians fought with
desperate courage AMI resolution, and that
their artillery wns especially effective. The
men stood to their guns until they were ahso
iutely cut to pieces or driven Of at the point
of the bnyonct. 1t was in that weapon, and
in tberheadlong, uncalculating and unconuuer-
able courage with which they Use it that
the superiority of the Frenc!. was most marked
and it was this which gave them the victory.
Napoleon took a most active personal part
throughout the day. After getting n general
view of the field from the nights of Castipl
one, he descended to the plain and moved
about from place to place, as the emergency re-
quired. One of his body guard told lis the
next day that he was repeatedly exposed to
the most imminent danger. as the balls of the
enemy fell thickly around him. The guard
himself, who stood near the Emperor all day,
had received upon the front rim of his heavy
helmet grape-shot, which indentcd the metal
and inflicted n slight wound upon his head
The Austrian Emperor is said, also to have be.
haved with sufficient gallantry. and to have
shed tears when the Solfcrino hill was taken
and he saw That the day was lost. Louis Nm.
poleon did not return to Castiglione after the
battle. hut Immediately established his head
quarters upon the advanced portion of the
field. ut Cuvrnna--sx miles further on As
descended the hill at dusk. the enormous train
of his eInpagcs was already in motion, and
the flags from The house lie had occupied We're
taken down."

invested with territorial sovereignty and tenn

loyed by any previous pontiticnte and when
he reflects that all this is due to a sovereign

PuGu ON DouGLAs.-From tho Benton Herald
Of the l4th inst. we extract the following
statement of Mr.. PUons position, in respect to
DOUGLAS, as announced in his speech, at that
place, IN answer to n question whether he
would support that gentleman if nominated
by the Charleston Conven ion:
He repudinted Stephen A. Douglas and his
odious doctrines-his squatter sovreigntv--his
territorial policy-his construction of the Gin
cinDati platform, and the whole string of his
his vile teachings. Being asked if he would
support Douglas under a nomination of the
Charleston Convention, ho said emrhatically,
NO. l would not support Stephen A. Douglas
if he accepted n nomination on my own plat.
form" lie said that lie regarded Douplas n
corrupt man, and not worthy Of the support of
true patriots, 10 matter what platform he
might run on, or what promises he might make.
If douglas should receive the nomi inntion ot
the Charleston Convention. he advised that
we nominate n separate ticket, and appoint our
best men rs electors and heat him. lie
adv ised southern rights democrats to 90 to the
Charleston Convention and demand tho en-
dorsment of the southern construction of tho
platform, the reputation of squatter sovereign.
ty. the protection of slave property in the ter
ritorIe.. and the recognition Of nj: the rights
claimed by the South. If the southern mem
bers could not control the convention and car
ry these poi ints, that they should then quit the
concern and come home. He desired to make
one more effort to preserve the Union on prin-
ciple but had very little confidence in the sue
cess of the effort. If it failed, then he wanted
the South to be united as one man. to burst
the unholy bands and take an independent DO.
sition ont of the Union. BY this step. the
South could lose nothing, having the resources
and power to control the manufacturing and
commercial interests of the world.
