The battle Of sadowa. in Bobemi.


General Benedek, commanding the Aps
trian armies in Bohemia, concentrated his
forces, on the morning of July Sd, on the
right bank of the river Elbe, between Ken
iggratz and Josephstalt, armed fortresses
He was determined to make a last stand for
the territory of Bohemia, the greater part Of
which has already passed into the possession
of the victorious Prussians.
Prince Frederick Charles, who command.
ed the Prussian army that debouched from,
the plains of Saxony, commenced the attacl,
at an early hour. Up to 10 o'clock the hat
tie was favorable to the arms of Austria A.
this critical period, the Prussian army undo,
the Crown Prince, which had entered Robo-
mia from Silesia, though at the beginning of
the engagement many miles distant, moved
up with celebrity to the scene of action. and
established itself unperceived, on account of
the misty rain that was falling and the drift
ing smoke of the battlefield, in the rear of
the right wing of the Austrian army. Tbis
wing was Immediately attacked, doubled nm
and rolled back in confusion upon the centro
of Bene6lek's astonished army. A panic set
in, and although the officers and Princes IF
Austria endeavored to rally their aeeinp
troops, it was in vain. The Prussians can,
tured "A 900 prisoners and lie cannon The
overthrow was complete.
Benedek has been superseded by Arch
duke Albrecht. The Crown Prince of Prussia
was decorated on the field of battle with the
order of military merit. The number of
killed and wounded on both sides was yerv
heavy.
The Emperor of Austria, upon receiving
the tidings of the defeat, proposed an armis-
tice, ceding Venetia to France and appoint
ing Napoleon mediator. Prussia and italy
refused the armistice. Napoleon it is stated
has accepted the proposition of Austria, and
is taking steps to occupy Venetia as French
territory. The Austrians have evacuated
Lombardy.
At latest accounts the Prussians were still
pressing after the retreating Austrians They
propose to dictate terms of peace from the
palace in Vienna

The coolest proposition known to modern
politics is that made by the Raleigh Sentinel,
that in case the constitutional amendment is
ratified in August, establishing the office of
Lieut.. Governor, the gentlemen already named
as candidates an connection acith that office,
shall meet an Raleigh and select one from among
themselves, or some one else to fill that position.
Laying all jokes aside, that is the tallest pre-
Stunning upon the vanity and immodesty of
distinguished gentlemen that we recollect
ever to have seen.-Neao6e1n Times
This as very cool proposition, consider
ing the weather. But it shows the respect
entertained for the people by the old seces-
sion oligarchy now in possession of the gov
eminent. Their motto is, The few should
rule the many. They have been doing this
ever since 1860. They have ridden the peo-
pie to their ruin, and now they are sitting
amid the ruins dividing out among them
selves what little life-blood has been left in
the poor old State. Certain leaders and Ger
tain families must be taken care of, at all
hazards. Decaying oligarchs who staked
their negroes on secession and lost, must be
supported in their poverty and laziness by
the poor, wasted, and ruined yeomanry and
working men of our State! Such things can
not last.
Somebody names somebody for an Office,
and two or three other somebodies name
other somebodies for Office, and then these
somebodies, so-named, are to meet and say
who shall have the place.! These oligarchs,
who trembled this time last year in the pre-
sence of the ensigns of the national power,
are getting fat and impudent. They must
be taken down a button-hole lower. They
may thank their stars if, before this rebellion
is entirely over, that instead of dividing out
the offices among themselves as robbers di-
vide out their plumber, their own estates are
not confscated and pareelled out among the
10y al men. Let them beware

FISH CULTURE.-The propagation of fish
is attracting attention in Europe. 1t is
fact that fish can he raised cheaper and more
plentifully than any kind of poultry, and their
flesh is as sweet and nourishing. 1t seems
that the Emperor Napoleon has just ordered
an exhibition of fishes, at the little village
of Arcachon, near Bordeaux.
This novel and most useful enterprise IS
regarded with great interest in England an IL
France, and is intended to show the phloso-
phical as we'll as the material aspects OF well
regulated sea and river fisheries. Invitations
to effect this purpose have been sent Tar ana
wide to official personages willing to alo
with their influence, to scientific men IN or
der that they may give their opinions, ana
to literary men in order to spread the known
edge thus accumulated.
The collection is so arranged as to lflus
trate the productive qualities of salt ana
fresh water, the peculiarities of national pro
ducts, the advantages of pisciculture ana
incidentally, what is to be gained by Wen
directed legislation concerning the fisheries
The subject of ish-culture will receive spel
cial attention, in order to ascertain the ees'
methods of Matching, breeding and dotnes-
tication. Papers will also be read on inc
natural history of the various edible nsnes'

CIVIL grievances
The fact cannot be denied, that since the
actual cessation of hostilities many acts of
violence-such perhaps as had never been
witnessed in their previous history-have oc-
Cured in the States involved in the recent
rebellion. I believe, however, that public
sentiment will sustain me in the assertion
that such deeds of wrong are not confined to
any particular State or section, but are
manifested over the entire country-demon-
strating that the cause that produced them
does not depend upon any particular locality,
but is the result of the agitation and derange-
ment incident to long and bloody civil
war. While the prevalence of such disorder
must be greatly deplored, their occasional
and temporary occurrence would seem to
furnish no necessity for the extension of the
Bureau beyond the period fixed in the origi-
nal act. Besides the objections which l have
thus briefly stated, 1 may urge upon your
consideration the additional reason, that
recent developments in regard to the practi-
cal operations of the Bureau in many of the
States show that in numerous instances it is
used by its agents as means of promoting
their individual advantage; and that the
freedmen are employed for the advancement
of the personal ends of the officers, instead
OF their own improvement and welfare-thus
confirming the fears originally entertained
by many that the continuation of such q
Bureau for any unnecessary length of time
would inevitably result in fraud, corruption,
and oppression.
1t is proper to state that in cases of this
character Investigations have been promptly
ordered, and the offender punished whenever
his guilt has been satisfactorily established.
As another reason against the necessity of
the legislation contemplated by thss measure,
reference may be had to the.s Civil Rights
Bill" now law of the land, and which will
be faithfully executed as long as it shall re-
main unrepealed, and may not be declared
unconstitutional by courts of competent
.urisdiction By that act, it is enacted :" that

General Hood

It will be seen by reference to our adver-
Using columns that General John B. Hood
mas settled in New Orleans as Commits
sion Merchant. General Hood would be a
great acquisition to any community, and we
congratulate the people Of the State on be-
scoming the adopted abode Of such distin-
euished citizen General Hood entered
the Confederate army at the beginning Of
the war, passed through as mdch hard fight
ing as any officer in it, and rose from a
9ieutenaney to1the grade Of full general, and
the command Of the Second army in the
field, at the early age Of thirty-two. His
tory will record the name of no drawer or
more chiyalrous officer. We hope he will

titled at the hands Of the people of the

war "because of the insuniciency efthe guar

Amid ali the tamultiin the, halls of Con-
Igress, and oil the tyrannical conduct Of the

that occasionally friend of Constitutional
lhberty makes an effort to obtain justice for
the people of the South. Though these
efforts are anavailing now, there is faint
hope that al this Black Republican fury
will wear itself ont, and that that infamous
party viii yet'be forced to give way before
the rising spirit Of conservatism and en-
llightened justice among the Northern PEG

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens U. S. sena-
tor for the long and Hon. Herschell Y.

Senatorship but has concluded to accept
the office rendered by his old friends in SO
aattering a. manner, AS the Senate is .Eow
constituted Mr.. Stephenr win be Kept cut
of MS seat for sometime to come, but it is
Ito be hoped that hemay be permitted to
take his seat inltime for his transcendent
abilities and devoted patriotism TO be Of
some use to the people WHO have reposed
so much confidence in him. Mr.. Stephens
opposed secession as aIemedy for the evils
under which the South was suffering, but
yielded his opinion to that Of the majority,
labored hard fer the establishment Of the
Southern Confederacy, cape aer being
elected its President, accepted the csace Of
Vice President, and gave ia his allegiance
to the Federal government when further
resistance became useless against such
superiority in numbers and resources. He
| is still unpa,doned and is deemed by the
ruling powers unfit to be entrusted with
office; but the whole country, North and
South, would be the gamer BY his appear

sent crisis. s,sf &. i,e i

has no equal on the continent. His style
Of oratoryis suited to large and popular

sistentiy refused-to become a candidate for

1 had his choice now, he wo1ld choose the
House, aud exercise his legislative sladia-
torship on the same aeor with TAad. Ste.
1vens, sColfax, Julian and other Black Re
publicanaeaders- He entered the House
of Representatives in 1s43 at the age Of
twenty-seven and served continuously for
eighteen years. His health is feeble, but
we hope his useful life may be spared to his
country for many years to come. af
Mr.. johnson is an able statesman, was
senatorfor ashort time some years since and
the Douglas candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency in 1860. Thus Georgia, which voted
for Breckenridge, and gave Douglas a very
small vote, has elected two leading Douglas
men to the Senate Of the United States; SO
completely have old party lines been oblit.
