am afraid 10 venture upon any conjecture as
to the number Of killed and wounded in this battle
but from the nature Of the case it must be enor-
nous. I sm confident that not less than ten thou
sand wounded have heen brought into this village
alone during the day--to say nothing of those
that were left the field taken to other places
The first iutimation we received of an cement
having taken place was from meeting three or
four cuts drawn by oxen, and SLED with wounded
before we reached Montechiaro on the road from
Brescia As we had heard Of no battle, we natu-
rally supposed that these wounds had been received
ia some skrmish. Soon after we met a one-horse
carriage in which was laid at full lenaS an officer
ocfank, whose faoo wore so CHASTITY look as to
make evident he was dying. On reaching Mon
techaro, and stopping for a moment to rest our
hOrses we were told that great battle was then
going on n the plain before Castiglione; and going
at once TO the summit of some old Notifications
which once defended the town, could see with
our glasses the smoke Of the engagement We lost
no time in pushing forward, although We were
told that We could not reach Castigliono, because
the roads were comp etely occupied by artillery
held in reserve. We went on, however. continuing
70 meet carriages aud carts laden with the wound
ed and passing the French camps Of the previous
night, came to q point, at about half Il mile from
the town, where park of artillery wagons was
defIing from their camp into the road. Watching
our chance, we drove in between two Of the wagons
and so entered the town under cover Of the enor-
nous cloud of dust which they raised. The main
street was densely crowded with carts, carriages
horses donkeyS Oxen soldiers suttlers and persons
and animals Of every description. Is c pushed our
way, without hndrance, directly past the house
marked as the Quarter Gsnacie, or headquarters

to where the great procession Of the wounded was

We need to say but word on DR.. Beech
ers letter 1t is plainly inferrible from his
acts that he intended to have the call appear
first in the Times, whatever the other two
intended. and what they dad intend any one
NAV gather from their acts The trhole CON-
npttee left their call with US under distinc {
understanding that it would appear in the
FREE Press the next day, the day of its date,
and not before; that on that day morning
we were, in person, to furnish to the Editor
of the Times a printed slip of it, as from the
Committee. OF course, then, it could not be
in the Times till the day after. as the Com
mittee all knew Not word was said in
our hearing, which implied that the Com
mittee intended anything different.
We have no concern with what the mem
bsrs of the Committee may have said, or
not have said to each other before they came
to our Office. Each of the other members of
the Committee, however, informs US that
they had no such understanding as DR.
Beecher represents, and that neither Of them
heard or made any such statements, as be
imputes to one of them. and both
say, expressly. that our statement of
the matter was correct in every respect,
and that they expected the call toappear frsl
in the FREE Press.

Editors Free Pres:
Sirs-It was not intended by the
committee that the call for the County Convention
should fra, be published in the Free Press. But
that a copy should be left at both Offices on the
day it was made, which WAS the lst day Of July,
and published at their earliest convenience. This
was distinctly understood before we went to your
Office, and stated at your Office by one Of the
Committee, other than myself. Upon ascertaining
that the arrangement you proposed was not salts
factory to the editor Of the Times, you said IL
would be, chose to furnish him with a copy from
memory, rather than go again to your Office for
the original. If in doing any thing dangerous
results to community, 1 hold myself accountable
to the other members Of the Committee and the
public, but 20 no Individual.
Your parading my name as you did in your re-
ply to the Times, may appear to you in good taste
If so, I have only to say that, upon consulting
others whose age and experience entitle them to
some weight, find that tastes materially differ.
Yours respectfully,

"ONE-LEGGED JM."-This well-known
Sioux warrior died lately at Redwood. A
few years since his face was quite familiar
to the people of st. Paul, but like many
Others of his tribe. with the growth Of the
city his inclination to visit us decreased,
and it is now long time since we have seen
him. He was reputed to have been great
"brave" in his day, and he lost his leg in a
contest with the Chippewas, on the St.
Croix, some years ago. He was the brother
of "Old Betz," whose photographs may be
seen at Whitneys. We are informed by
MIR. Williamson that his age was about
sixty years, and that suspicious are enter
tanned by the Indians that he was poisoned
by the "Medicine Men," He was among
his tribe, great politician and noted as a
shrewd "wirepuller in the government OF his
tribe" Through the influence of Mr. w.
H. Forbes Of this city, he was induced to
sign the temperance pledge, some years ago,
and it is believed that he kept it faithfully
until the day of his death.

CLAQUEURs.--It is not to be supposed
that this venal class Of individuals are en-
ployed to give eclat to public performances
in this city, but we have class very much
resembling these. We allude to those soft
pated individuals who are incompetent to
appreciate the excellencies of speech, but
devote themselves especially to applauding
efforts of this character. Some of the finest
passages in Mr.. Marshall's lecture were en-
tirely lost to the sensible portion of the
audience by the premature applause of these
public pests. We beseech them, hereafter,
to allow speakers to finish their sentences
before they attempt to interrupt them. AS
the claqueurs cannot be supposed to have
any Judgment, it is only safe for them to
applaud when the speaker stops to take a
drink of water; they may take that act as
an indcation!that their services are required
to fill up the time.

STEAMBOAT BUSINESS IN ST. oUIs.-The
prevailing dizziness of business on the river
is shown fully by the following extract from
the st. Louis Republican of the 23d inst.
II that city had only eight steamboats, doing
business at her evee on the 22d, St. Paul
has no reason to complain because she is
not exempt from the general depression:
The weather has cleared off. and is fine and
warm. Business on the landing is usually dull.
But eight steamers were at work at the landing
last evening out of about fifty-a very
small number-in port. Think Of that Only
eight steamboats, doing business at the Levee
of St. Louis On the 22d of September, at 5
o'clock, P. NJ. Put that down in the annals Of
the port of st. Louis. Among them, there was
only one Missouri river packet. The landing
looks very thin and beggarly.

THE Charleston News, referring to a
meeting at Mount Pleasant, S. c., in favor
Of the opening Of the African Slave Trade,
says:
We observe this movement with great
regret, and we cannot withhold the express
sion of our surprise that intelligent and
respectable gentlemen should be so deluded
as to approve so impracticable and ruinous
a scheme. If there was the slightest rea-
sonabe expectation that the design of re-
pealing both the Federal and State Laws
against the slave trade could be carried
out, or if there was shadow of hope that
the measure itself could be of the least SER
vice, political or industrial, there might be
a pretext ior the agitation of the subject,
But as it can never be any more than the
hobby of Southern political Adventures,
and Northern venal spectators as it can
never obtain, as now fully shown, the assent
of the South itself, or any State of it, much
less of the United States, it is with unquali-
fed amazement that we see staid planters
and law abiding citizens agtating meas
ure which can only distract the public
mind, and demoralize the public sentiment

MURDER OF GABRIEL FARIBAULT.-An
ARRAY occurred at the Lower Sioux A gency,
last week, between Hyppolite Campbell and
Gabriel Faribault, in which the latter was
shot dead by Campbell. The affair sprung
from an old grudge between the parties, but
which had been partially healed. We learn
that after Farioault was shot, his brains
were beaten out by Campbell. The muir
derer is in custody. The affair had pro-
duced much excitement at the Agency.

The amount of business being done is less
than usual at this season of the year, but as
stocks of goods il the interior must soon be
replenished, revival in trade may very soon
be looked for.
The amount Of grain coming into market is
quite limited, and as yet but few small lots have
been shipped. We continue our grain quota
tons unchanged. But few cranberries have as
yet reached market. Our quotation comprises
the range for ripe berries. Potatoes are in
plentiful supply. Flour is coming freely from
mills in the interior, and from Wisconsin. Our
quotations for flour are a fair index of the mar
