Number two is frog, with large, protru-

The Emperor Of Austria having caused

Solferino, the Emperor Napoleon caused
them to be sought ior-and they we're recog.

The corpse was placed in an artillery wag

headquarters. The officer expressed to the
Emperor the coincidence Of the Emperor Of
the French. and Ills Austrian Majesty (who
was just recovering from somewhat severe
indisp"sition) begged. not without emotion.
the officer to convey his thanks to the En-
peror Napoleon, and to express his sorrow at
the death Of so many brave men in the French
army. This led 10 some remarks on the
cruel necessities Of var. and, from what was
said, the Emperor Francis Jnseph was able
to perceive that those necessities were re-
GREETED as much as By himself.
The Emperor Francis Joseph afterwards
sent the son Of General Urban with Gag Of
truce TO the French Camp, as is known, and
the Emperor Napoleon. by an autograph
letter. proposed suspension Of arms. II IS

who maneuyred for hours in so mastery
manner as actually TO menare the enemy IN
to an inactivity fatal to themselves. Their
artillery completely swept the sides OF all
the hills round Solerno, and twice they
easily drove back the French who attempted
to storm the heights. They were strongly
posted in the stone houses and narrow streets,
and in the cemetery had high. strong, thick
walls. which protected them again at the
French fire. and gave them immense adyan-
tages over them.
How it happened that, with such odds in
their favor, they should have been beaten,
many able military critics have been puzzled
to explain. The French assault was prompt,
vigorous, and wonderfully impetuous; and the
Emperor Napoleon, by the rapid energy with
which he brought up his scattered forces, the
moment he saw battle was impending, ltor
up 10 sunrise Of that day he had no expecta-
ton Of general engagement,) reflects upon
him the highest possible credit as comman>
der and a general.

that he has been haunted by them ever since

"The Seven Dark Ages" which treated of
time he declares that he did not believe in
these things until they forced conviction up
on his mind by their visible presence. Every
night in his cell, since his confinement, he has
seen night owls lowering around him and
tapping their boding wings over his head.
| IIe has tried, he says-for he talks very coolly
about ito kill these "emblems," on many
occasions when out in the woods, but was
never able to accomplish his object. He has
shot at them, time and again, but the ball
from his rifle had no more effect upon them
than feather in the air. His repeated eff
forts to kill these night owls convinced him
that they were supernatural creatures, and
their constant presence around him satisfied
him that they had mission to perform which
was connected with his destiny. He thinks
that he is thus pursued by avcnging spirits,
in the shape of night owls and snakes, espe-
cially the former, because he has not "lived
up to the Bible" 1t is evident that the poor
fellow is possessed of a very strong religious
sentiment, mingled with powerful element
Of superstition. At least such is the condi-
tion of his mind in its present weak state
He has been reduced to this state, however
by deplorable secret vice in which he has
INDUCED from boyhOod, and 10y an excessive
use of ardent spirits. Were it not for his
talk about "emblems' and the Seven Dark
Ages, and the like, no one would ever sus-
pect the man of insanity at ALL inasmuch as
his relation Of events connected with his past
life is perfectly coherent. perspicuous and de-
liberate. He seems to know exactly what he
is about, until he comes to "emblems," but
the night owls and snakes are a little too
much for him.
An officer will probably start for Stockton
with him this morning.

he took some high-handed liberties with the

the art of spelling with contempt lie has
now, evidently, employed somebody else to
say for him that, so far from going in pursuit
of runaway negroes, his company is desrous
of peacefully colonizing the fertile lands of
Arizona, and that they 60 armed for the sole
purpose of protecting themselves against the
Indians. This sounds very well, but we all
know that Walkers recruits also were "emi.
grants" that their rifles were also ca-ried by
sooer husbandmen, and purely for defence
against marauders; that they were collected
ana an shipped solely to settle on waste lands in
nicaragua; and that there was never anything
lurther from their minds than aggression on

hlllbusters have made themselves eminentlv
