The scenes we are daily Witnessing are heart
Tandinr Full two-thirds Of al the officers of our
Northern army are either killed on disabled. The
corpses of Prince George WindishgFatz Poshac-
kerr Counts Leningen, Guijure, Colonies Benedek
aud Prothaska, Count Grunu, the son of the impe-
rial grand equefry and adjutant Of Marshal Bene-
dek. have already arrived, and others Of the first
families of the empire are daily brought in.
few days ago 1 was at the depot; in came the
train, and on the platfCKn recognized the Arch
duke William bid head bandaged, but talking
frealv With the ex-grand duke of Tuskany, who
had gone to meet him. But there stood hand
barrow and host of imperial carriers, surrounded
by a crowd of arstocratc ladies', awaiting, no
doubt the arrival Of high, unfortunate officer.
HeiYas carried down from the platform half faint
ing and still smiling to the sympathizng crowd.
1t was Field Marshal Count Festitis, one leg
already ampUtated the other shattered to pieces
and awaiting amputation. The people took of
tb4ir hats; nut whisper could be heard in the
immense depot; only God bless himln sighed
The people, when the barrow was cautiously car
fied away, and the countesses and pfineesses,
sseltering with their parasols the patient from the
sun formed the cortege.
Again came the carriers bringing another bar
ROW, followed by Count Grunn, adjntant OF the
emperor. The platform is again lowered, and
with it Gen. Brandenstein, who had already both
ofhis legs ainputated. Grunn bows to kiss him.
The poor cripple puts his arm around the neck Of
his old cOmrade to embrace him once more but

have TO be used TO revive him. The crowd is in
tears, Grunn gives the sign, and off the carriers

and g Hadtwaldehen IA kind of prater or cen
trial park, as we have here in Vienna, hospitals
had IL be mproyised, and tents hastily erected in
order TO accommodate. the sufferers. AS they have
to be transported under the heat of the summer
sun, they arrive so terribly exhausted that many
Of them, notwithstanding all the care and atten-
ton bestowed upon them, have died shortly after
having been brought under shelter
Some of the best corps are almost entirely de-
stroyed. The splendid Black Brigade, of the brave
sGablenz; the corps Of Gen. Ramming, an officer
who was considered the right hand Of the late
Marshal Radeizk, have suffered beyond descrip-
ton. One regiment that went into battle 5000
strong, commanded by that host of officers which
is found in every Austrian regiment returned but
$3.50 men, commanded by one Of their sergeants.
Well, the court martial has been established. II

when Count Clam, Gallas few days ago, late in
the evening arrived BY the train, an adjutant OF
the Emperor awaited him. As soon as he had

The city is in the greatest CONSERVATION. Tho
news Of the occupation Of Prague by the Prus

TRAN government with ridiculous haste, in fare
well address, has taken leave Of the Bohenlians
and the white flag has been hoisted from the Cit
Hall, as token Of surrender. 1t is now feare
that the Prussans viii march over Budweiz-Lin
