FAILURE TO MAKE A TREATY.-Rumors haze
been rife for Several days that the commission
ers had failed to make treaty with the Indians
who had been gathered at Fort Laramie for that
purpose. The news is confirmed this morning
by our fellow citizen, Mr.. Henry Kline, who left
there about week since. He informs US that
the Indians refused to make treaty, and that
large numbers Of them had left upon the track of
the emigration to Montana, upon the new road
to that Territory. The Indians are stubborn up
on the subject of travel upon this road, saying
that emigration upon it will drive away their
game. The commissioners having failed to ac-
complsh their object, have left for the east The
warriors had nearly all LETT in different direc
tions, leaving only their old men and squaws at
at the post, to drdw Godernment rGtions. What
the result of this will be we are almost afraid to
contemplate. That trouble may be expected ups
on the roads and in the Settlements there is
scarcely room to doubt. We trust that Govern
ment will see the immediate necessity of putting
forth every energy to prevent repetition of the
scenes of the last three years.-DenUer NeTs,

Dispatehest to the 0reyoniaa furnish European
dates to tile 9Th July.
A great battle took place on the ad Julv. near
Lndoa, resulting in the Prusslans obtaining a
great apd complete victory. The battle lasted 2
hours tine Anstrians being commanded by Gen
Benedet, and the Prussans by the King in per-
son: Tle Prussians met the Austrians between
Horsewfz and MomAgratz, and until 10 o o'clock
P. NJ, tue battle was favorable to the Austri-
ans, but after that hour, the advantage was
with the Prussians. At 2 o'clock, P. NJ, after
an obstinate defense, the Prussians carried by
storm the strong position of the Austrians, after
which the Anstrtans were qulcAIy uTirvu vi
their outer positions, and by Z o'clock were in
full retreat to Koningsgratz, pursued by Prus.
sian cavalry. The AustriAns were in complete
rout. The road was strewn with baggage,
which they had thrown away. The killed and
wounded on both sides, was great but owing
to the extent the battle, the loss had not been
ascertained. The Prussians lain to have cap
tured, up to the evening Of the 4th, Il, 900
wounded and prisoners, lie cannon, and seve-
raj flags.
Three Austrian Arch Dukes are reported
wounded. Prince Liechtenstein and Prince M.
discard were prisoners.
The Austrian Field Marshal Van Gablentz ar
rived at the Prussan headquarters ct Hcrsewitz
on the evening Of July 4th, with flag of truce.
The Paris Monitsur of the 9TH makes the fol-
lowing announcement: An important event has
just occurred. After having maintained the
honor of his army in Italy, tbs Emperor of Aus
tria concurring in the ideas expressed in Empe-
ror Napoleons letter Of Juue IL to his Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, cedes Yenetia to France and
accepts his mediation for the concusicn of
peace. The Emperor FASTENED to respond to the
summons, and Immediately communicated with
the Kings of Prussia and Italy in order to obtain
en- armistice.
The London Times Of the 9th says the sudden,
ness of the Austrian calamities is too oyerpow-
BILE consequences or destiCies Of the Austrian
Empire.
The Daily Ne,cs shows that the Prrs.ians not
only gained the battle, but q strategetcal ad-
vantage of the highest importance. They have
concentrated eight corps of their army, aud can
poance down on the enemy with an overwhelm-
ing force, and have cut off Communication be,
tween the AustrianS and the Federal army in
the we:t.
The Rrussian victories had a decided effect on
financial and commercial affairs. There was
general improvement in cousols and other secn-
rites in London stock exchange. There was
great buoyancy in the Liverpool cotton mark
cts, but depression in breadstuTs. On the
Paris Pourse, Rcntes advanced one aud a half,
ana Italian securities four per cent.
Gen GaribIlii, on the Sd, attacked the .fTs-
trians at Nonteenola. The Austriaus made n
strong res. stance, and the volunteers finally fell
back in good order. Gen. Garbaidi was slightly
wounded in the thigh

ALWAYS CoNSIsTENT.--The editorial cores
pondent OF the Bulletin, writing from his East
crn sanctum, is severely bitter upon Horace
Greeley for his efforts to secure the release of
JEFF. Davis. Whether the influence hitherto ex-
e-ted Upon Rational affairs b Mr.. Greeley has
been for good or for evil-whether his political
course has been wise or unwise whether his
general conduct has been patriotic or unpatri-
otic--it is not for us to determine certain it is,
however, that Mr.. Greeley's efforts to secure the
release of JEFF. Davis are perfectly consistent
with every act of his life. When the question
of secession was being seriously agitated in
lS60-'Gl Mr.. Greeley contended earnestly that
the people of the Southern States had right to
secede. If they had right to secede, of course
they had a right to fight for secession. There
fore, according to Mr.. Greeley's theory it is
he bad a right to do; hence his earnest efforts
to secure his release. Again, Messrs Greeley,
Stevens and their associates contend that the
Southern ConfedeTaCy was government de
fdcio and de lure; that the States which COM
posed that Confederacy are now conquered prov
inces, and its inha bitants subject to be treated
according to the laws of. war. The laws of war
do not allow prisoners of war to be held in con-
fnoment after war has ceased, unless such pris-
oners have violated those laws. Greeley, Ste
vens, and Wilson assert that they do not believe
Davis has violated the laws of war. Hence, in
endeavoring to secure Davis's release, Greeley
is acting in strict consistency with all his pre-
viously expressed, and now-entertained theories
and opinions. 1t is not exactly just to condemn
Mr.. Greeley for bis present specific actions, see.
ing that they are In accordance with his long
entertained principles, as well as with the the.
ory which has governed Congressional leaders
on the reconstruction question. We should
rather assail the principles which logically lead
tn inst such conduct as that for which Mr. Gree
ley is condemned, 1t would be folly for us to
condemn General Lee for waging war against
the United States, if we were upholding and
maintaining every theory and principle which
could by any possibility logically result in such
wars f. Call.

THE SHORTENING MOMENTS.

AT 1924 the scaffod was reached. Sheriff
Howell, Superintendent Perkins, the Rev. An
thony Grundtner, and the Rev. Peter NJ. Carbon
were all that ascended it beside the condemned
After q brief interview with DR.. Grundtner5
Probst looked down upon the.peOple and said,
in broken English, = Cod will forgive me p
Then he knelt in prayer, kissing the crucifx
once on rising from this short intercession his
legs were observed to tremble very slightly but
the color of his face was natural, and his lips
quiyered not jot. Eneeling once more in com
pany with DR.. Carbon, Probst bent his head ats
tentively while DR.. Grundtner read prayer in
German, the Sheriff and Mr.. Perkins standing
near the outer edges of the platform. Probst
raised the crucifx aloft with his left hand, and
crossed himself with his right, DR.. Grundtner re-
peating uTon him the sign of the cross, and says
ing few words to him in German. Then An
ton once more, and for tie ldet time, rose aud
kissed the crucifx distinctly there. DR.. Grundt-
ner and DR.. Carbon then shook hands with him.
and the spectators drew that deep breath pre-
monto.y that the last moments of the man they
watched had come.

The last lines in the last chapter of his dis
NAL life now being read by the straining eyes Of
the people below and the full strength and glo-
y of the sun had flushed his face, and still he
never blenched. Every second now brought him
nearer, by terrible and irrevocable strides, to
the unchangeable future which all men dread.
He quailed not, though his hands were hands
cuffed behind him, though the rope begirt his
neck though the death-cap was drawn down
over his face though, left all alone upon that
spot of time, with only an instant between him
and God, the next second be would have moved
to the soft whirr and rushing as the planks fell
on which he stood. At lO:45 DR.. Swanton reas-
cended the steps of the ladder, and stood there
motionless for one little moment. Then he
gave the single arm-waive which reached up to
God the soul whose profoundly we cannot un-
derstsnd. The rope was pulled, the traps fell,
and their soft whirr and rushes died into silence
as they struck the paddle sides. The body of
Anton Probst dropped with single heavy thug
and remained perfectly STILL In two minutes
there are spasmodic tremblngs in his legs in
three minutes slight quiverings in the sides and
oscillations of the body. In less than FIVE min
utes all is motionless forever, and human retri>

NEw YoRK THADE.-The gold value of imports
received at New York, for the eleven months
ending May 3Oth, was S274, SOB, 42s-an increase
of Sl3O, ,442, ,49s over the imports of the cores
ponding months of the year previous. The
currency value of exports, for the last eleven
months was S2O2, ,059, ,O27. The rapid increase
of imports, and the great excess in the value OF
imports over exports, exhibit in remarkable
manner the extent of the balance of trade against
our country. The exports of gold and silver
from New York, for, the eleven months under
notice, amounted to $3s ,592, ,499; while the re-
ceipts of gold and silver, from California,
amounted to only $26, $685.
