Of pipe clay, and the boots have lost all
traces of blacking; but the barrels Of
the rifles, and the blades of the bayonets
are all bright and clean, and shine out
cold and gray against the dark blue
uniforms. The artillery horses, a little
thin, and with rather prominent ribs,
from hard work and scarce forage, step
briskly out, and almost without stretch
ing their traces. The straight, steel
barreled guns roll along behind them.
The following terrible picture of af-
fairs at Vienna is from the correspond
dnce of the new Prusische (Kreng) lei
tung, of July l2 from the Austro-Baya-
rian frontier;

velopment of the circumstances mat
brought the impending doom over Aus
tria, hides himself and has left the capl-
tai days ago. There the Emperor waits
for the Generals that led the Army OF
the North, and is resolved to extremes
against them. In military circles It is
asserted that Benedek will never AGAIN

and this secured him popularity, not
only among certain military circles, ont
also at Court. where the true authorities

landed aristocracy always looked
upon with suspicion.
Here is an Austrian opinion OF needle
guns, taken from the Vienna (July q
correspondence of the Augsburg ga
Sette;
On the last battle, which was vlcto-
rious up to o clock in the afternoon, the
enemy had three times as many killed as
the Army of the North, (at some points
the dead lay in such heaps that 1t looked
like hills painted blue and read, and the
killed and wounded did not lie, but
leaned against each other, but the latter
had three or four times as many
wounded as the enemy; but as to these
the proportion of slight to severe wounds
was like seven to one.
And here is Bohemian criticism of
the great battle, from the Pohdk, of
Prague, July 6

The Journal Debats, Of Paris, Of July

"The Austrians have left in all the
fortified places garrisons numbering in
the whole $1,000 men These places are
completely armed with not less than 500
guns, are fully provisioned, and cannot
be reduced except by a regular siege.
This would take from FIVE to six months,
supposing that ultimate success is not
retarded by any check.

Supreme Judge.

The most important nomination to be
made at the next Union State Convention,
will be for Supreme Judge. Among the
several gentlemen eminently fitted for the
position, who have been mentioned IN con-
nection with the candidacy for the Judge
ship, we observe the name of PHILIP B.
SWING, Esq, of Clermont County, who was
before the Convention last year and received
a large vote, being second on the list. Judge
Scott, whose second term expires the coming
winter, is understood as not desiring g third
term. 1t is presumabIe that the Southern
section of the State viii justly claim the can
didate. In Mr.. Swing is presented g eandi-
date who has ever been tue to the principles
of the Union and Republican party. Pro
REASONABLY he ranks as 3 frst-class lawyer
He is a man of exemplary hsbits-of the
purest morals-strictly temperate, and a
sincere Christian. Such q man would be an
honor to the Supreme Bench.

Four of the party of six who robbed
the Oadiz Bank are confined in the Jail
in that town and are doubly secured,
as a police force is engaged in watching
the premises night and day. Two of the
robbers are still at large. Those in Jail
haye become quite communicative of late
say that the two of their comrades who
have thus far eluded the pursuit of de-
tectives were in the immediate vicinity
of where they were arrested, and might
have been discovered and arrested by
proper diligence on the part Of the pur-
suers. Some $1,000 worth of Govern
ment bonds have been picked up on the
ground where the four were arrested, re-
duces the amount of loss to about S29-
900. One of the prisoners, shot through
the arm at the time of the arrest, and who
gives his name as Chauncey Dewey, is, we
understand to day, in a very precarlous
condition-from the serious character of
the wound: so dangerously i'll that his
life is in jeopardy.

experimenting on the improvement of the
Portugal Samburg grape and its manufacture

Came as a golden star
Shakes out a trsss of light
Upon a cheek Of shade.
Came as a mountain rill,
Treads down a path. of stone
Where lava-hre hath trode.
Came as a gush of tones
Flows through the gate of death,

Dim echoes touch our souls,
OF his new seraph song,
And we are not bereft
Since God. our babe hath won,

EDITOR CHRONICLE Il would venture
this communication for the readers of the
Chronicle, presuming that they may have at
some time, like many others, asked the ques-
ton "why does not our editor get cores
pondence from that oil region which we
hear a great deal said about, and so much,
that if true, renders it the greatest marvel,
and most reliable and best paying territory
of which we yet have any idea or knowl-
edge :" 1 propose to simply state facts as
they are, inviting such as have anything of
the oil development "on the BRAIN" to visit
our territory and see for themselves, feeling
confident that they will say ''the half was
not told me-" We do not hear these last
days, from our visitors, almost the first
that they find to say, as formerly, sob, such
mud" The most emphatic form of which
is no name for it. But rather turn to com.
plimenting our rocky bluffs and wild scenery.
We average about three strikes a week
now, and each we'll adds another and an
other to the list of flowing wells; and what
is rather strange, as yet no we'll seems in
any respect to differ very much from former
developments. Each one as they get down
to this uniform depth still fow..
Our oil is also lifting up in price. Buy
ers are coming IN freely, nndlng that there
is emphatically no other oil in the market
that is going to offer or hold any competition
to this oil as a burning fuid; it having now
stood the test of every trial, and proved
safe and more lasting than refined oils.
Property is almost daily changing hands for
cash at these very high and huge prices, va
rying from ten to forty thousand dollars per
acre.
The increase of population has already
made demand for stores, hotels, places of
amusement, &c, a few of which are already
completed and jammed. Horse flesh will
soon be relieved of much torture which now
cannot we'll be avoided, as the c.. &P. r. R.
are running a line from Smiths Ferry to
the Oil Regions above, furnishing complete
connection for transportation of the oil to
any point. We notice of late a development
near the noted Sherman we'll, which gives
evidence that some person or company from
Trumbull county is not entirely ignorant of
this place and its worth and have been quite
fortunate, 1 would think in fixing their To-
cality. Success to the Trumbull oil well.

tends, endeaVor to extend to this slavery
blighted region the township, road, and free
school system which has given the North
its greater business thrift and educational
superiority.
For their timely missionary efforts the
only returns will, in many cases, be detrac-
ton and abuse, even amounting to threats of
lynching and expulsion. Hence the invet-
hostility to the Freedmen's Bureau
which seeks as one of its ends the e%nlighten-
ment of the negro that he may not be who'll
ly at the mercy of his former master. The
labor of civilizing and Outstanding the
