ITALEsS DEFEAT AND PRUSSIAss

italy has gone into war with the same ex-
pcrience that we had In 1861. She has had
her Buu Run. She has met her old enemy in
front OF Vcrona-1n sight of the tomb OF
Romeo and Juliet-and been routed mud
driven back to her own side of the MincI0.
Her raw leyies are no match for the bronzed
veterans Of Austria. Garibaldi, meanwhile,
has climbed the mountains and got on tue
Austrian flank and rear, but this daring move
mcnt can hardly succeed, now that Victor
Emanuel, with his main army, has been put
to flight.
The news Of the battle of Custozza Is &C.
rious disappointment to the people of this
country, who hoped that Italy would achieve
her victory without severe losses or long de.
lay. But 1t seems to be ordered Of Provi-
dcuce that the tree Of liberty shall be watesed
with blood, and Its fruits tasted only alter
the agontes Of desperate conflict. Italy has
been thrown to the Garth. but only to gain
new strength from the collision. A Florence
despatch says that the rcpulse OF Custozza
Is the signal for redoubled energy and pcrse-
ycrence. Italy will return to the contest
with renewed ardor, and will never lay down
her arms till the liberation Of Venetia Is Sc
cured.
In the Forth, Prussia Is sweeping everything
before her. The old feuaal Confederation Of
Germany is dissolved. aud the Prussians have
entered Bohemia, scattering the Austrians
with their needle guns As yet no fighting
has taken place on large scale, but Prussia
has secured advantages BY her prompt move

Correspondence Of the Chicago Tnbnne-l
DENVER, juno %, 1856.
Times are dull In the mountains, say all
who are interested there, and the fact Is evi-
dent to all who visit them. The question Of
importance to every Citizen Of the Territory,
and to every Eastern capitalist who has iu.
vested his money, Is, how and when can the
mines be mndc to pays'1 believe the ques-
tion 10 be one OF easy solution. In former
times, with the old stamp mills, which never
save over twenty-five per cent of the precious
meta1, with low prices and cheap labor, the
mines paid well, and yielded handsome
dividends to their owners. With the war
came high prices. Indian troubles raised
fteights from four cents to, In some cases, as
high as s. thirty cents Pct pound: Z: Labor went
crease. Then came 4 spirit Of speculation.
Large companies were formed, with still lar
ger capitals lodes were purchased at enor-
mons tleurcs, many of which were only imng-
mary; expensive machinery was shipped at
rninous rates, and Superintendent sent out,
Who generally bad more bEass on his cont
than brains In his head. These operations
complete, the stockholders eyed with plea
sure their fancy certificates, and awaited the
dividends which were to make them rich.
Unfortunately these dividends have never
made their appearance, and mining stocks
have therefore become d drug in the market.
Capitalists have seen their money squapdered,
and In many cases found thcnselvcs ont
rageously swindled. Hence times arc dull IN
the mining regions. Mills are standing still
first, because they have machinery which Ia
entirely worthless, and, second, because there
has been too little mining done. The NUM-
ber Of mines developed bears no proportion
10 the pu,nber Of mills erecting.
That there is gold and silver enough IL the
monptaius no one entertains doubt. What
Colorado now needs is, first, reduction OF
wages, which can be obtained only by fall
lns on in prices, and, second, IN l., IN

stamp mills now save all their tailinss,
