These facts suggest some reflections. How

answer can be given to that question. No

This, it must be said. is the result which must

KOSSUTH IN ITALY.
kossuth, having arrived on the I'd ult at
Genoa proceeded on the following day to Tu-
rim. All along the way, on every station,
crowd Of Italians assembled to cheer him; q
convoy of hungarian prisoners met him at
one place, and recognizing the great leader OF
/
other place Il wounded Italian broke through
| the crowd-he had belonged in ISIS, TO Col
Months Italian Legion in Hungary-and
wished to express his delight at seeing once
more the arms of Italy and Hungary joined
At Ast the military commander himself ac ted
rs fuglenan to the cheering multitude. Al
AleSSandria kossuth had 10 address the crowd
| in Italian. After two long interviews with
! Count Cavour at Turin, the Hungarian exile
| in company with n confidential friend of the
Sandman Minister. set out for Parma TO the
headquarters of Prince Napoleon. Up 10 Stra-
della where the railway communication comes
10 an end, the same scenes OF enthusiasm were
witnessed as on the road to Turin; but here
of course the Italians lost his trace. When
he arrived, after midnight, at Piacenza, the
guard at the gates received him with blurt,
''Che dtcraIio tats coSt tGrIi.''
He could quietly go to hotel without being
recognized. AT breakfast, however, the waiter
brought fhe foreigners book TO set the names
of the guests inscribed, and seeing the name
"kossuth,' he rushed out of the room like Il
madman. Not five minutes passed, and all the
thirty thousand inhabitants Of i'iacenza know
it already; and, as If called together by an
alarm bell, they rushed under his windows
and shouted their vivas with the heartieSt
good will. The Mayor and the municipality
appeared in his rooom to otier their compll-
ments and their services. Montanelli arrived
the respected late minister of Tuscany, who
lost his arm in 1878 lighting at Curtatone for
the liberty of Italy. The room is soon over
crowded with visitors. kossuth must take

cred from the windows and with all the en-
ehusiasm of renascent liberty the population
layishes its caresSss on the stranger whose
name is connected with liberty, and therefore
is taken by them Tor pledge OF their own
freedom.
AT , O'Clock, p. NJ, Kossuth arrived at

expectation Of the arrival OF Prince Napoleon.

by some Italian standing before the hotel he

when suddenly the eye of the Italian lighted

alive with the news; the crowds assembled

| the door. The Governor OF the province in
yited him TO his box in the theatre, which
! kOssuth of course, declined since it was
/ Prince Napoleon who had to receive the ova-

| A letter from Turin announces the arrival of

! he has passed through, the citizens greeting <
! him everywhere with the loudest cheers for
| Hungary. At Acqui he visited the Hunga-
rians that are being formed into a legion to
! fight with the allied armies, and his reception

| the news of his mission Will cause great e1-
| citement throughout Hungary. We are assured
by the writer OF the letter l aliude to, that the
| Austrians make of Kossuth's name to en-
able them TO raise recruits in Hungary. The
| officers employed for that purpose carry por-
| traits of the celebrated hungarian with them,
| Which they show 10 his countrymen, assurIE g
| them that US soon as a regiment is formed he
| is to take the command and fight with them
against the French and Sardnians. Some of
| the lower classes allow themselves to be caught
by this trick

suth from PiacenZa for Parma on the 26th ult
and says that the people took the horses from
his carriage and dragged him as far as the CITY
! gate.

| WHY TUE AUsTRIANs ARE DEFEATED
Why did the Austrians lose this great bat
| tie, Why have they lost every battle that has
| been fought in this war, 1t is not that they
are less brave than the French. In this very
! engagement. according to the official accounts
| of each army, the Austrians killed and wound
ed 1900 Frenchmen, with loss to themselves
! of but 1900 killed and wounded. There could
| have been no flight when the numbers stand
| thus Al the end of the day. Nor are the Aus
! trians inferior as marksmen. Their rlfiemen
| hit 10 French officers, whereof one hundred
and twenty We're shot dead, while the French
| succeeded in killing and wounding only two
| hundred and thirty of the Austrian officers
! They certainly are not inferior TO the French
| in discipline. Their ris insJff0 is magnificent [,
and they retreat invariably with a bold steady
| front TO the foe. Why is it, then, that they who
| can lose SO yaliantly can never win Because,
| unfortunately for them, present knowledge is
| present power, and their knowledge is notoi the
| present, but OF the past. They are stagna-
Ting responsibility. They are governed and
directed by old rules, old men and old routine.
