The Prussian victories-Austri-
ans Defeated in a Great Bat
tie and Proposes Peace-The
Austrian Emperor offers to
Cede Venetia to France,

The news from Europe, published
this morning, is of great Importance.
The splendid audacity of the Prus-
SLAMS in sweeping through Saxony
and invading Bohemia, has been re-
warded with glorious success. The
effort of the Austrians to prevent
the junction of the two Prussian
armies advancing into Bohemia, the
one by way of Saxony, and the other
by way of Silesia, has been unsuc-
cessful. The Prussian armies sere
united, and the Austrians have been
defeated in great battle. The
Prussian account states that they
have not lost a gun, but have taken
twenty eight Austrian guns, and q
number OF standards, with fifteen
thousand prisoners, while twenty
thousand Austrians have been killed
and wounded. The army under
Benedek was defeated with this i'm
mense loss, and driven in confusion
from the field. The military arm of
Prussia admirably seconds her dip
lomacy, and now maintaining a sue
cessful offensive against Austria, she
is the undispuied master of Northern
Germany, and takes 4 first rank
among the great powers of the
world
The Emperor of Austria repeats
his weakness of accepting defeat be
fore the war is decided, IS he did
after Solferino at Villa Francs. He
has telegraphed the Emperor OF
France that he IS ready 10 cede Tenefia
10 him, the military honor of his
Empire being satisfied. Napoleon
at once telegraphed to that effect to
the Kings of Prussia and Italy, with
the view of obtaining 4 cessation of
hostilities. Ofcourse, Napoleon will
make over Venetia TO Italy, perhaps
taking for himself the Island OF Sar-
dinia. AS for Prussia, she has only
20 hold what she has already won, to
accomplish the object for which she
drew the sword. With all Northern
Germany in her grasp, and victorious
in Bohemia, she can afford to make
peace, and, doubtless, would be
glad to do it, and proceed to the
consolidation with the Kingdom OF
her new possessions.
1t is not, therefore, impossible
that peace may be made now as sud
denly as after the battle Of Solferino;
and in consideration of the immense
aggrandizement of Prussia, if the
situation were accepted without
further bloodshed, Napoleon, in
order TO keep up the balance of
power, nav claim and recover some
of the old Provinces ofFrance on the
Rhine.
p. S.-As the dispatches come in,
the magnitude of the Prussian vic
tory is increased. 1t seems that the
great battle in which the Austrians
were routed, may take rank among
those decisive engagements that have
affected the destinies of empires
The Prussians claim to have taken I
fourteen thousand unwounded Aus (
trian prisoners and one hundred and
ten guns. The Austrians lost a
large number of officers high in rank,
killed, wounded and taken prisoners
Benedek's great military reputation !
is gone forever The victorious
Prussian army is able, it is thought, /
if the war continues, to march tri- /
umphantly TO Vienna 1t was preba-
bly, prudent in the Emperor of Aus
tria to promptly confess his defeat .
and sue for peace.-Cn. Com.

wThe Secretary of the Nation,

N-The Secretary of the National
Union Club, under whose auspices
the Philadelphia Convention is to be
held, is Rev. Jesse B. Ferguson. In
1861 he was q rampant rebel, and
gloried in being such; here is his
language:
sit may be rebellion in the estima-
ton of the powers at Washington
thus to speak, but there is man be-
fore you who considers it the highest
instinct of human nature to glory in
being rebel to such prostituted
power. Write Il on the front of my
JroC, and let Il form a sacred cross Oger
my heart; I an rs5eI 10 tie Gorern
naent at Washington, and aroald thank
HcdUea for the hour that Dould sareep i
and its occupants into the sea; for the
peace, the hope, the existence of our
people require it,
And this is one of the men who
put themselves forward as teachers
of Nationality and Union-who de-
nounce the great Union party as dis
unionists, and cry, dangers threat
en-the Constitution, the citadel of
our liberties, is directly assailed."
A pretty set to talk about the Con
stltution being asssiled. Their hands
are even yet red with the blood of
the brave ones who went forth to
defend and preserve that Constitu-
ton from their murderous assaults
upon it. And now, forsooth, having
failed in their hellish purposes, and
being whipped into the conclusion
that the Constitution, with all its
glorious privileges and immunities,
must and will live, they turn around
and claim for themselves the pecu-
liar friends and champions of the
instrument they sought to destroy.
Such impudence! such hypocracy
and demagogury! History furnishes
no parallel to it. The devil himself.
in their presence, would find his oc-
cupation gone.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, July II.

The Union cause looks brighter
this morning in Washington than it
has at any time since the President
deserted it last February. Union
men are more confident and more
closely baHded together The unan-
unity developed at the caucus, and
the resignation of Postmaster Gen.
Dennison, which vas announced
there, has aroused feeling of great
exultation. i7sl
The course pursued by Gov. Den.
nison has had an electric effect upon
Union men. 1t is one of the many
marked occurrances of the past few
days which serve to measure the
sweep of political events and to in
dictate the rapid rearraRgement Of
political forces. b.i7ssa Fa.
The cause of Coy. Dennison's re-
signation gives it great significance.
1t is simply on the ground that he
is thoroughly identified with the

1.-The lower classes" Imposing popu-

in London, and some alarm has been
occasioned by them. RIoting was
feared, and the police put on the

immensely. Mr. Gladstone, who led

popular favorite. while his leading

Such a multitude appeared in front
of the residence of Mr.. Gladstone.
who was not at home, that his wife
was asked by the police to appear on
the balcony, that the people might
be quieted. She complied, and the
London Times had the insolence to
announce that Mrs. Gladstone had
accepted the honor of an ovation
by mass of the lower classes. Mr.
Gladstone replied in the newspapers,
stating the reason for his wife's pub
lie appearance, and added that she
and others were struck by the re
spectability of the appearance of the
people who formed the assemblage,
and the good order that they main
tanned. The clover classes" are not
in the mood 10 be trified with by the
tories, and their disposition to assert
the rights of man is verv decided
1t seems not unlikely that if the rul-
ing aristocracy adhere 10 their obsti-
nate restrictive policy, there will be
serious trouble. Mr. Gladstone,
some time since, warned them that
they should "be wise in time" A
revolution in England is certain.
The question is whether it will be
made gradually and under the forms
of law, or take the CHASTITY shape of
civil war. The Democratic senti-
ment in England is rising in spirit
and growing in power. 1t is already
making itself felt, and if not needed
and respected will become destruc-
tive. Commercial.

~ Postmaster General De,nis,

~ Postmaster General Dennison
and Attorney General Speed have
resigned their positions as members
of President Johnson's Cabinet, and
it is supposed that Stanton and Har-
Ian will soon do likewise. These
designations are owing to political
differences-the resigning members
approving of the Constitutional
Amendment, the adoption of which
the President opposes, and opposed
to the Philadelphia Convention,
which the President approves
Thus the rupture between the Presi-
dent and the friends that elected
him seems now complete.
