Abvssinia has recently sent ambassadors
to Rome TO give in his adhesion to the
Catholic church. The pope was much af-
fected at the event, regarding, it as the full,
fillment of the prophesy that Ethiopia
shall stretch forth her hands unto God.S-
The people of these two African States
number some three millions, and include
the most cultivated races on the African
continent. They have black but Grecian
features and admirable athletic forms, and
are "hlack and comely," like the woman
celebrated in Solomon's great wedding
eantata. They hold slaves, but are never
themselves enslaved. Until the recent
change, effected by missionaries from Rome
they had been chiefly Jews and Moham-
medan.

When they reached the place indicated
they found the remains of the camp, but

whipping the negro, who, with Mr.eGrayes,
refused to allow it, and fight ensued, in
which Mr.. Graves was badly beaten, and

GREAT MORTALITY OF Hoes IN ILL
NoIs.-Mr. Wiley Grafton, farmer of
Pleasant Plains, Sangamon county, writes
to the State Register, under date of May
9Th, as follows:
Last night / fed my hogs as usual, they
all seemed to be feeding and doing well on
pasture. l went to the pasture this morn
ing about s o'clock and found about sew
enty hogs dead, and many that were dying.
At 10 o'clock there were ninety dead, and
at II o'clock one hundred and nine. The
average length Of time that they would
live after taking it would be from fifteen to
thirty minutes. All efforts to administer
relief were in vain.
This fatal disease is carrying away large
numbers of hogs in the vicinity of Deca-
tur. 1t is said that Sangamnon river bot
tom is covered with their dead Bodies.

With the greatest demonstrations of joy
The retirement of Count Bpol from the
Austrian ministry is confined. His res
ignation indicates that there have been dis
sensions in the councils of Francis Joseph,
and that change of policy has been re-
solved upon. Count Buol is one of the
most distinguished European diplomatists,
and his withdrawal rom the councils of
his sovereign in the midst of the crisis,
may perhaps account for the protracted in
activity of the Aurtrian army.

substitution Of Count Rechberg for Gount
Buol as Austrian Ministry Of Foreign At
fairs, and of the abandonment of Prince
Windscbgratz's mission to st. Petersburg
| remarks: sssssss - E9sezsa - TsS
both OF these changes, are symptoms Of
an increasing determination on the part Of
Francis Joseph to push things to extremi-
ties. Count Buol 'Schauenstein, during
the whole of the Crimean war was the
most active partisan Of the French policy
in Austria, and he has been indefatigable
in his efforts to bring this young Emperor
TO reason on the pending questioned Italy.
He gives way now to a nobleman much
his inferior in reputation and IN abilities,
who is chiefly known as the Austrian p res
ident of the Germanic Dietsat Frankfort,
in which. capacity herecently came almost
to the point Of a-personal quarrel with the
Prussian representative, M.'de Bismark, on
the question of arrning all the Federal for

Outrage on an American Citizen

outrage on an American CilIAen
The indianapolis journal says that, Mr..
Frederick Rush, of that'city well known
and properous' produce dealer, who went
to Europe some six or eight weeks since,
on a visit to his; old home and friends, i'm
mediately on his arrival in Prussia was
claimed as a.couscfipt forced into the ar

three years as a Prussian soldier. q q
The Journal call upon the Administra-
ton to act in the matter, but says:
"Mr. Buchanan is far more anxious to
get German votes than preserve the rights
of German citizens. When Gov Wright,
our Minister at Berlin, tried to recover an
citizen who,. like Fred Rusch, had. been
snatched up as food for cannon duSing
visit to his relations, the Administration
disapproved his act, and left him with
no support of the nation against the inde-
fensible injustice he was combating. We
have no doubt that Governor Wright will
exert all bis influence to secure the release
of Ruseh, for they were fellow townsmen
here, and acquainted with each. othes but
all his influence will be,blighteds BY the
fact that the Prince Regent knows that our

! Crops i'm tile West.

The Chicago Tribune publishes large
number of letters from different parts of
the West giving a most cheering account
the prospects of the growing crop. They
refer to a wide extent of country, all lying
north of the latitude Of st. Louis. Ad-
vices from Southern Illinois, are equally
encouraging. In a week or two the har
vest will have fully commenced there. One
of the editors, of the Press & Tribune
visited Madison. Wisconsin, last week, and
all along the line of the st. Paul and Fond
du Lac, and Milwaukee and Mississippi
roads, the wheat looked finely. Most of
it was spring, of which a very wide breadth
has been sown in this section. Prepara-
tions for corn, also, appeared to be very ex
tepsive. Accounts generally from Wiscon-
sin agree that the prospects were never bet
ter for an abundant crop.

! TheOWaf in ItaIy.

The accounts from Italy are scanty and
unreliable. The Austrians have taken the
best mode of preventing bad news from
rapidly travelling, for they have cut down
all the Morse -ographs, (as our elegant
friend, the straw paper ledger, delights 10
nickname the Telegraphs,) upon grounds
not their own. - = "a
Whatever the cause, Austria has com
menceds the campaign by, great error.
Instead of advancing rapidly forward, as
Napolean did, in 1896, in. .Ais Italian CAM
paign, with the suddenness and force Of an
avalanche, the Emperor of Austria delay
ed and dallyed for a fortnight, and thus en-
abled the King of Sardinia TO collect and
concentrate bis forces, and the Emperor Of
the French to throw in hiisgvast auxiliary
forces through Genoa and Savoy. -,

that number may not suffice. Two Of the
Grand DueRies have raised the Sandman

by Austria, and Lombardy is on the. eve
of revolt If that fakes place, The Austrian
army may find itself hemmed in upon all
sides, and in the greatest peril, The small
skirmishes which took place on Sandman
soil appear to have ended in, the defeatsof
the Austrians. If the general wish. Of
Euiops could avail, pot a German would
be allowed to de6le the soil of Italy by
his presence. There is no nobler battle cry
than s.Italy for the Italians."as - -,
Both Emperors viii command in person.
True to sthe hereditary inertpess, of the
House Of Hapsbutg, the Austrian Emperor

Emperor Napoleon is in. Sardinia. He

w AT the late Anniversary meeting
of the American Tract Society the publ
cation oftracts against slavery and the Af
rican slave trade were prohibited, because
the Slavery question ought to be taken out
of religion. Why not abolish the Tract
Society altogether, for fear that some of
its publications offend the rum seller, the
libertine, the Sabbath breaker, DC, &c.
These all have as much right to demand
that their peculiar sins be passed over in
silence as the STAKEHOLDER, who sells his
own offspring into bondage, imbrues his
hands in the blood of his slavewith i'm
punity, but does it with the sanction Of
law. The Christian association, by what
soever name il may be known, that refuses
to take open and decided ground against
the sins of slavery, had better shut up shop
at once, because all the practical piety, if
it ever had any within itself, has long since
been lost sight of in its pandering for sup
port to the basest of all the sins in the cat
alogue-the sin of slavery. 'There is
something singular in the slavery question.
Pro-slavery agitation is proper at all times,
for doctrine, for reproof and for consolation;
but opposition to slavery in any form has
no place in politics or religion, and must
not be discussed in the North because our
neighbor says there is no slavery here
though we doubt if he has looked into his
own soul-nor in the South because there
is slavery there"
