A correspondent of the Boston Journal
who travelled to Pixies Peak with Mr.. Gree
lev, writes from Station 5 as follows:
An admirable travelling companion is Mr..
Greeley, with an inexhaustible fund of hui
morous experience and miIthful anecdote,
a philosophy that neither frets nor grum-
bles at 'annoyances, and an always benig-
nant countenance, radiant with clear con-
science. sound digestion, and abundance
of the milk Of human kindness. Occasion
ally when crossing rivulets on foot. he
sinks in mires to the knees. but maintains
his serenity undisturbed. In amusing the
marvellous little "Ida," he shames her moth
er altogether in the use of ''baby talk, -
and other seductive arts to captiyate infant
affections. To-day we met party Of re-
turning Ohio emigrants. who had mired
their wagon in slough, from which their
weary cattle were unable to extricate it. He
gave a few common sense directions about
using the spade, and then took hold of the
lever and pried at the wheel with vast
deal of vim Meanwhile, one of the emf
grants. having learned something of his

"Oh. yes; you're with Greeley. are you?'

tor meanwhile tugging away like an Irish
laborer. Just as the wheel was extricated,
some one come along who recognized the
old white coat, and made its owner known
10 the crowd. think never saw men
more amazed.
Almost every train we meet contains
some one who recognizes him, and the en-
igrants flock around and scrutinize him as
if he were.the seventh wonder of the world
But yesterday, on the outskirts of crowd,
a rather stolid looking man asked of me:
Stranger, is that John Greeley those
fellows are talking so much abous?"

THE BATTLE OF MONTEBELLO.

The fuller statements Of papers received by
the steamer City of Washington at New
York ON the morning Of the 9TH, show that the
battle of Montebello was more important in
its probable consequences than the brief re-
ort by telegraph indicated. The official ac-
counts from the French army state that the
Austrians about 10000 to $1,000 strong,
advanced from C.steggio to Monticello, at
tackled the advanced POSTS of Marshal Bara-
quay d'Hill.ers, drove out of that
city tho Piedmontese cavalry, and were
pushing IN to Genestrello. General Forey 8
division was put in motion to repel them,
and was ably seconded by charges of the
Piedmontese cavalry. The Austrians were
made to retreat, and after hard hand-to-
hand fight in the streets of Montebello,
where they had intrenched themselves, they
were forced out and made 70 retreat beyond
Casteggio. The loss of tho French in killed
and wounded was estimated at from 600 to
700, among whom were one general officer
and several colonies, and that Of the Austri-
ans at about 1000. The Austrian accounts
are very brief. The substance Of them is that
Gen. Stadion sent out accommodating party
to learn the strength and position of the en-

From all accounts the action must have
been very severe one. Monticello was the
scene of the victory Of Lannes the French
