'The union of the Democracy for the

What "a Deyilisa thing is war.

A correspondent of the London Tee
graph, gives the following sicknlng ac-
count of the wounded and dead in the last
battle between the French and AustrIans.
If the contemplation of such scenes at
this remote distance produces shudder,
what revolving spectacle must they pre-
sent when looked upon by an eye witness.
And the scene loses nothing of its hor-
ror when we remember the friends and
families that are to mourn and weep over
the death of these butchered and slaught-
cred soldiers.
"The plain of Gudizzolo is really hor-
rible to look upon. Even SO late as yes
terday the dead were not buried. They
were to be seen in groups of twenty and
thirty, hu1dled together in one spot,where
shell had exploded or the Chasseurs
'dAfrique had passed. All still main
tanned the attitude in which death had
struck them down.
Here was one with uplifted arm to
ward off the blow which had split open
his skull, and splashed bis brains far and
near. Close by was another, with his
hand upon his breast shiyefed and rent
by the grape. Another seemed to be
smiling as. if in mockery Of the grim war
rior's approach. Some were lying upon
their hacks. with faces turned towards
Heaven, and prayers still seeming to lin
ger upon their lips.
Further on, there was q Hungarian,
who had thurst his clothes into ghastly
wound near the heart. At his left was a
Tyrolese, with the unused cartridge be-
tween his teeth. To the right Croat
had his head cut off by ball, and bis
head was by his side, with its horrible
eyes, glaring and leering, as it seemed, at
the dsmembered body.
Two young lads of certainly not more
than sixteen were lying in each others
arms. Death had surprised them in that
attitude; or, perhaps, feeling themselves
about to die, they were chung together III
last embrace, and had fallen thus never
to rise again. Upon the body Of Bo-
hemain officer we noticed dog waiting
apparently for his master to get up! we
had not the heart to call off the faithful
animal by word or gesture, for we
felt sure that God would reward the devo-
ton of this poor dumb creature, so touch
ingly SHOWN amidst his fellow man.
On every side it was the same. Death
in his most horrible and CHASTITY form,
glared at us, no matter where we gazed.'

Sewardism is arousing the South. Tho
most temperate Union savers at almost
any price, heretofore in that section, are
preparing to array themselves against the
Matchmaking of it through its champion.
In the recent Mississippi Democratic con-
vention, the following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
'Resolvea, That in the event of the ele-
walton of Black Republican candidate for
the Presidency, by the suffrages of one
portion of the Uuion only, to rule over
the whole United States, upon the avowed
purpose of that organization, Mississippi

which they are approaching, under the

Somerset, st. CrOix County.

In our DECENTRALIZATION through the
country, we tarried three or four hours
the other day at the village of Somerset,
situated on Apple River, about four miles
from its confiux with the St. Croix, and
fifteen miles from Hudson, on the road
to Osceola, and the Falls. Three years
ago Col. Samuel Hartman 'located'
there, taking quarters in a small 8 by 10
shanty and commenced operations. AT
that time Thomas J. Chapel was the only
settler in the neighborhood. An excellent
saw-mill Zone of the best water-power
mills we have seen in the country,) was
built, and the cultivation of the soil at

been erected, until at the present time
quite village appears A new grist-
mill is soon to be built; the water-power
being ample for driving a .arge one, and
the rapidity with which the country is be-

of grain that is being raised, making such

county necessary. Such indications Of
prosperity such RAPID progress in ciyiliza-

county at heart, and who is prone to be-

Republican state Convention.

Republican State Convention will be held
at the City of Madison. in the Assembly Hall
of the Capitol, on Wednesday, the 3lst day of
August next, at - o'clock NJ, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for State officers TO
be supported by the party at the ensuing g, n
eral election and to transact any other business
that may properly come before it.
AS the subject of selecting delegates to the
next National Convention may be entertained
and acted on by the Convention, it is suggested
that the people in their primary caucuses, and
the district conventions make such expression
as will intimate to their delegates and the State
Convention. the general sentiment of the State,
on that subject.
Each Assembly District will be entitled to
two delegates III the Cony en'ion.
1t is recommended that District Conventions
for the selection of delegates be held through
out the State. on or before the both day of Au-
gust. and that committees make early calls for
that purpose and it is especially urged that
every district be duly represented in the Con-
vention.
