When we see two persons engaged in a fight,
and pummeling each other after the manner of
our unscicntiic street rowdies, we are very apt
TO lend what little stock of sympathy VIC have
on hands, to the party least able to stand up
against and least able to deal out hard thumps.
The same bent of sympathy is to be discovered
in the crowd witnessing thedog,fght Invaria-
Div their Interference, when they do interfere is
in favor Of 1.-THE under dog in the fight" Just
so it is With our national sympathies, when we
look upon the fights of nations; they instinc'
lively range themselves on the side-oft the weak
or nation. Inthe present mnid: pnrtite European
war, our instructive. sympathy, therefore, were
itnot turned Outof ibis natural course, by just
reason Or unjust prejudice, would be on.the side
of Austria. Powerful as she is, we see her sur
rounded by an alliance of powers that must in
evita5ly crush her. Firm as she long has stood,
she is destined to bend and 10 feel the terrible
scourge of modern war, relentlessly applied. -
Her enemies, we doubt not will be unsparing in
their revenge, and so confident are they, that
ere a single great blow has been struck, they
calmly go about preparing for the 7s Dedm Of
victory. s5<Y.f.s5..!
Yet pitinblc as Austria's situation may seem
to be, she has but little of the sympathy of the
world, outside of her She has forfeited the
respect and won the detestation of humane and!
intelligent mankind by her accumulated crimes
against other nations,and her combined outrages
upon even her own people. There is such a
thing as just vengeance, and such, we doubt
not is speedily to be visited upon Austria, and
the vengeance wrought upon her will only be
the greater, because the world joins against her,
in pronouncing it just. There is no prestige in
her history, -snch as clings around that of noble
old England or ciiiyalrous France. On the con-
trafy, her name, in our minds, has always been
asspciated with what is :yrannical, despotic and
odious Even antocrat Russia has something
Of glory about her name, and her national deeds
have sometimes forced our admiration; but the
oppressor of Sardinia has nothing in her pres
ent name past history, that commends her to
our sympathy, in this the day of her distress.
If she meet, from the world, only the same pity
that the captured wolf meets at the hands of
those whose focks it has destroyed, she must
endure it, for is the lust retributon of her
own deeds.

A CORRESPONDENT of the n. o. Picayuae says
the whole number of known victims by the Tacu-
bay nassacac is ftythree; though it is belicv-
ed to bemnch larger. They were assassfnated
in the street, in their houses, anywhere the
brutal soldiery CHANGED to meet. them. Finally
they were all carried off in common carts to a

color; and solemn Tie Deum was ctanted in
