way connection between Vienna and the
main army at 0lmutz was cut at Lunden-
burg on the 18th. Slight engagements
occurred, with results generally in favor OF
Prussia. The possession of Moravia had not
been contested General Benedek has been
displaced from the command of the army, but
remains in command of corps, for which he
is fitted. Prince Albert takes the chief COM
mand.
The Emperor appeals to the Hungarians
to show their hereditary fidelity" in this ex-
tremity and makes to all his people the am
plest promises that their internal affairs
shall all be settled to their satisfaction. 1t
comes too late.
The naval disaster to the Italians, the
marches and countermarches in the neigh
borhood of Verona, the ekirmisheS and 9th
er engagements of the Italian army and OF
Garibaldi, are too imperiectly known to es
innate their Importance.
1t is formally denied that the Emperor ol
France had any thought of mixing in the
strife, either by armed intervention or 9th
er-wise On the contrary, he has avoided
the concentration of troops on the frontier
near the seat Of war, "to avoid the slight
est Indication of France being dragged in
to military activity" So much for the news
mongers, who set the world agog with tina
of which they knew nothing.

Winter barley is in very nearly the same

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE.

The successful completion of the Allan

"a treaty of peace has been signed between
Austria and Prussia" In addition, we have

After the battle of Aschaffenbure, the
Federal army was much demoraIized, and a
truce was established on the 18th at the re-

TINES CHANGEs--In 1864, Mr.. ROBERT F
CLARK of Bloomsbury, stumped this Coun-
ty, to aid in the election of Mr. MERCUR, to
Congress. To-be-sure, the Republicans of
the County were sadly disappointed in the
character of Mr. CIARK's efforts, as his
speeches showed very little ability, and
were principally devoted to denunciation of
Senator Bucklew, and the Fishing Creek
Conspiracy" Still, as his utterances were
thoroughly loyal, the impression he created
were on the whole not unfavorablc, though
the idea became prevalent, that it did not
take much talent to make great man in
Columbia County, if Mr.. CLARK was fair
specimen of their "pig guns"
At that time he was particularly severe
upon Mr. BUCKALEw and the reasonable
practices and disunion sentiments the Dem
ocratic party. Now MrCLARK is comforting
with Senator BUcKALEw and appointing viru-
ing all his most earnest professions. This la
mentaoIe spectacle is the price he pays for
the office of assessor of this District.
Has Mr. BUCKALEw and the Democratic
party changed in the few Intervening months
or has Mr. CLARK become a traitor to
his party and principles? Are the plans
OF the Copperheads any the less objection
able now to true Union men, than when
Mr.. CLARK so boldly assailed and denoun-
ced them? Whatever may be the motive s
which have controlled him, he has forfeited
the far renown he once enjoyed, and will
ind congenial resting place in the ranks
OF the party he once effected to believe was
opposing tue best interests of the nation.
As we have no knowledge of the perso-
nal Prejudices or private griefs which have
influenced Mr., CLARK, we have written about
his course, more in sorrow than in anger
as we sincerely lament that by such great
act Of treachery he should have over-shad
owed his fair fame, with an odium which will
attach to it forever

TERRIFIC GALE AT HAVRE-DB-GRAOE.

HAvRE-DE-GRACE, July 26, 1866.
A terrible tornado visited this vicinity
about o'clock last evening The threat
ening masses of clouds, which hung around
the horizon from northeast to west during
the afternoon, rapidly concentrated north
of this point, and at the above-named hour
the storm burst upon us with irresistible
fury, uprooting trees, prOstrating houses
and doing much other damage.
The magnificent new bridge Of the Phil
adelphia, Wilminton, and Baltimore Rail
road Company, spanning the river at this
point, some twenty-five feet above tide-wa-
ter, encountered the violence of the storm.
1t trembled for a moment, and then was
hurled down from its piers into the river
with terrific crash. Ten spans Of the
bridge, each $50 feet long, the labor OF
months, were rendered complete wreck,
the river and bay being strewed with its
debris for miles. Only one span on the
Cecil side remains.
The loss cannot fall short of 100000
and is perhaps much greater.
Several workmcn were carried into the
river with the falling spans, but were res
cued
Without this disaster the company con
fidently expected to have the bridge read,
To-day several tugs are travers1Dg Ill,
river and bay, saving the wrecked materi
al, and the disaster although serious, will
be promptly met by the energy OF the com
pany.
The wind lasted about fifteen minutes
and swept over the country in a belt abou
ten miles wide.
We learn that considerable damage wa
done at Port Deposit by the storm.

day alter d line or blot out a particle Of it "
eve quote from the Age) We are clad
to notice tn t he is so frank. Let us see
what he did for the soldiers and sailors on
one or more occasions while he was in the
State Senate. During the session of 1864
senator Graham, Of Allegheny, offered a
resolution that the Senate OF Pennsylvania
urge upon Congress the propriety of in
creasing the pay of officers of the army
and navy twenty-five per cent, and of pr;
E''cS one hundred per cent. On "a motion
TO proceed to second reading, the Demo-
Gratis, with their leader, Mr. Clymer, voted
III the negative, thus causing a tie vote,
ana the motion was lost. At the same
session JOINT resolution was adopted, re-
questmg our Representatives in CONGRESS-
10 vote Tor and use their influence for the
passage of law increasing the nav of
I'o7-c0htm1sSl0Hed 0BtcerS and private soldiers
but upon It's final passage Heister Clymer
votes nay. subsequently, when the bill
regulating soldiers elections was passed
Clymer again proved his consistency by
voting against it. And yet with this rec
ord, OF which lie now has the boldness to
say he would not blot out a particle, he
asks the soldiers and sailors to give him
their voter. The effrontery is only eoualled
by that which prompted his organs to com.
