1.-The only advice to be given is, th;.
trla should accommodate herself to these,
tul circumstances, just as England admit,
the independence of the United States, and as
France has twice submitted to the dictation
OF the invaders. There can be no glory gained
by stubborn and even victorious resistance to
the just claims Of a great nation, and it is un-
wise to wagessa war where even military sue
cess incurs moral opprobrium. No doubt
this and similar considerations will be in due
time urged upon Austria by the two Ministers
who have undertaken to divide the response

Russia concluded financial convention
with the Rothschilds; no details given.
+ There Is no doubt entertained that the con-

will result in their being contractors for any
future loan Russia may desire to raise.
The London Times, speaking of Palmerston
and Russell, says: "Both see in France a
better agent for the reorganization of Italy,
and for the creation of that Federal Union
which is the unity possible under existing
circumstances. Were that question to be
confined to the present state Of affairs, the
policy to be pursued might be stated in SEN
tenee: Austria is flying homeward-France
and Sardinia are pursuing her across the
Adda-Venice is about to be attacked imme-
diately on the East and on the South-the
whole Peninsula is rising against her, and ex-
pelling her allies and garrisons."

Amarried woman residing at or near Men

named Anthony Barrett had, on the 18th IN
slant, committed an outrage upon her person.
Her husband at once loaded his gun and went
in search of Barrett, determined to kill him.
He found Barrett at work wedding his garden.
On seeing him coming with the gun, Barrett
dropped on his knees, and begged him not tc
shoot. The injured husband cracked away
however, but was in such trepidation from ex
element, that the shot flew wide Of the living
mark, and Barrett picked up his boots ant
vamosed at lively rate. A warrant wa
then sworn out for his arrest and Barrett ap
pretended.
He was tried on Monday afternoon befor
: Magistrate Thomas, of Mendoza, Jane
Smith, Esq, of St. Paul, conducted the pros
ecution for the complainants, and Barrett wa

ing charater.
BY its advices we learn that thel
likelhood existing of renewal OF
difficulties with the Navajee tribes of Ii.
with whom the United Government wa
war only few months ago, and concluded by
formal treaty.
They have been depredating upon and steal
ing from the whites, and feel no disposition
to give up the property stolen by them, or lib
crate the persons whom they have made cap
tive.
In consequence of this contumacy, the mil
itary authorities have ordered out the United
States troops from all the posts in that region.
Two or three companies have left Fort st.
Vrain for the Navajoe country
The crops will be very short in New Mex
leo, partly for want of rains in proper season.
There were many returned Pixies Peakers
in the territory. They Jared as badly as those
from the States, denounced the mines as a
humbug and declared that gold could not be
found there
The Democratic party held a Territorial
Convention at Albuquerque, at which Hon.
M. A. Otero was nominated for reelection to
Congress. Col. ST. Vrain will be his oppo-
nent for the Office.
The traders teams bound out from Missouri
are much delayed in consequence of high wa
ter in the Arkansas river. That stream is
said to be higher than has been known for
years before.
A serious difficulty occurred at Council
Grove, with the Kaw Indians. They had
stolen some ponies from Mexican train, the
return of which was demanded by the citizens.
The next day eighty warriors came in bring
ing stolen property, and told them to take it
if they dared. A pistol was fred, it is said,
to frghten the Indians, but they returned the
fire slightly wounding Mr.. Gilkey, formerly
of this place, and mortally wounding man
by the name of Parker
The enraged citizens banded together OH
the day succeeding the outrage, took . young
chief and another Indian and hung them up.
The Indians are very much alarmed and wish
to leave the country.

WASHINGTON, June "a

WAsHINGToN, June "a.
Judge Douglass letter.. which you pub
lished in to-day's paper, is denounced as die
tatorial by the Administration and many Dem
ocrats, and considered lmpolitic by his own
friends. 1t must increase the party schism,
and if adopted as the basis for a Northern
wing to act upon, will rupture the Charleston
Convention. The Opposition is much indebt-
ed to Mr.. Douglas for this manifesto.
The Treasury balance is brought down to
S., 900, 900, being $4,000. 900 below the work
ing point.
No expenditure has yet been made under
the appropriation of the last session for prepa-
rations for a census, and none are contempla-
ted till after the 1st of January, in order that
Congress may at its discretion make addition

AtI.EGEp ARISE OF SrATIoN.-The prison

ALLEGED ABUSE OF SrArIoN-The prison.
ers confined in the County Jail have for
long time been complaining, either justly or
without grounds, that their rations are Of the
mcanest and most scanty nature, and that
they are not seved to them even then as often
as the law contemplates. The allowance to
the Sheriff for one weeks board to each pris-
oner is $3.50, and his bills are presented to
the County Board with great punctuality, and
allowed and paid with promptness. Ihe law
allowing this sum does not contemplate that
any profit shall be made from victualling the
prisoners, as this would lead to abuses, and
in the hands of mean and dishonest Official
would probably be carried to an atrocious
length, rivalling prison abuses in the despotic
countries of the old world. The character OF
the fare now is such, however, according to
the accounts of the inmates, that one hundred
p:r cent. profit can be made from the allow
auce. and instead of three wholesome meals
per diem, two scanty lunches they say are
served to them, the balance in one shape and
another, going to line the pockets and belly OF
the obese incumbent.
With crowded Jail, and no means Of re-
buking such abuses, the Sheriffalty in improp-
er hands would become an example and by
word of wrong. If Jail Committees and Grand
Juries overlook, or make no inquiry, as they
should, into complaints, it is the province OF
the Press to institute examination. Ii the
complaints are unfounded, no harm can De
done to any parties; but if correct reform
should be commenced at once. The age OF
the world when prisoners were treated as If
they were not fellow-men is passed away, and
cannot be revived in Republican country
like this.

The Episcopal Bishop Elect, of MIME.
sofa,

BY reference to the report of the Proceed
irgs Of the Protestant Episcopal Convention
in another column, it will be seen that the
balloting for Bishop of this Diocese was vigor-
ously resumed yesterday morning, and DIR.
TUCKER, of Troy, N. Y, twice rejected by the
Laity Finally, after much deliberaton and
the private conference of the two Orders, the
Convention agreed on the choice of Rev HEN
RY B. WHIPPLE, Rector Of the (Free) Church
Of " the Holy Communion" in Chicago, and
his election was made unanimous.
In regard to this election, we are informed
"a, YESTERDAY afternoon, when it became
APPARENT that the two Orders could not unite
upon DR.. TUCKER, the Clergy retired to the
residence of Capt. DANA (near the Church)
ior consultation. An informal ballet was then
taken, resulting as follows:
Votes poiled, lS-Dr. A. B. Patterson, s.; Rev.
Mr. Whipple 9; Rev. Mr. Starkie, !.
Upon returning to the Convention a form
al ballot was taken (result given in the re.
portD -,
,.uc 10 the Rev. DR.. PATTEksv.. .>-,--,
that although respectable portion OF tn
Clergy desired his election to the Bishoprlck-
choice which would have readily been &C
auicsced in by the taity, that he himse
strove earnestly from the commencement to
the election of the Rev. Mr.. WmPPLE. ii
steadily voted for and urged his election upo
the members of the Convention. For tn
first two ballots, DIR. PATTERsor's was tt
only vote he received. The choice OF M
WHIPPLE under the circumstances, Is con
pliment to the advice and known wishes
II, PATTE8soT.
Thus much we have inserted out OF CO
.ession to friend of DR.. PATTERSON. But
is of more consequence to the public, that Il
Bishop elect, though talented and intuent
divine, is so jealous High Churchman as
have rendered the previous resistance to
election of Dr. TUCKER on that ground, a wo
or supererogation, if not a farce. DIR. r
TERsoS NAV have secured the election OF
Rey. Mr.. WHIrrLE, but if his ultra prelatl
principles are as represented, he might ia
been engaged in better business, both
the interests of his Church and the cause
liberal evangelical principles, as opposed
mere Journalism in the Church. The La
deserved credit it was supposed, for their S
cessful resistance in the morning to the el
ton of an ultra High Churchman who
been nominated by the Clergy, but til
course ceases 10 be invested with the digu
of principle, and becomes but a personal C
test, when in the afternoon, they assented
the election Of man whose principles are
different from the one they previously

BoDY FouND.-The body Of a female infant
was found concealed in the sand under the
bluff at the foot of Chestnut Street, in upper
Town, yesterday afternoon, by some boys
who were playing about there. The body
was evidently that of an infant which had
been still-born, and was partially decayed.-
Coroner Hunt was in attendance, but not
deeming the expense of an in ,ucst warranted
by the appearance and circumstances, ordered
the burial of the body in the usual manner
The body had no doubt been placed there by
honest parties who knew no better.
