The Battle OF Custozaa.

The first grand encounter of the
German war took place between We
roma and Mantua, at a place called
Custozza, by the name of which the
conflict will be hereafter known in
history. We give the following ac-
counts of the Attain as we find them in
our foreign exchanges. A private dis
patch received in Paris, dated Flor
ence, June %, says:
"a great battle was fought yester-
day between Verona and Mantua
The King had passed the Mincio the
day before yesterday with ten divi-
sions. One of the wings moved toward
Peschiera, where it drove back part
of the garrison. The great body of
the army marched on Verona, under
the command Of the King. At Gus
tozza it met the Austrians reinforced
by the garrison of Verona and a part
of the troops en- ecblon on the Pc.
After desperate battle, which lasted
the whole day, the Italian army was
forced to recross the A[incio. King
Victor Emmanuel, after having effect
ed his retreat, re-established his head
quarters at Brescia. 1t is asserted
that the chief object of the attack by
the army under the Kings command
was to force the Austrians to quit the
line of the Pc, that General Cialdini
might cross the river with his corps
d'armee, which was to move on Row
go. 1t is not known whether Cialdini
succeeded in eflecting the passage"
'The battle took place at Monte
notta and Custozza. The King moved
on Castenaldo, hoping to find the
Austrians there, who were on the
Adige. The Austrians took Monte
notta and Custozza by assault, which
had been occupied by eight Italian
divisions. They make 1000 prisoners.
General Cerale is severely wounded.
/ Prince Amadeus wound is slight.
The passage of the Pc by General
Cialdini is confirmed. A strong Aus
trian detachment, descending from
Bernie to tho Valteline, is moving to.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald has the following, which,
it will be noted, processes to be au-
thoritative;
1t may be stated positively that Gen,
Grant will accept nomination for the
presidency for the next term from no
party or faction whatever. His nomi-
nation would be equivalent to an cleo
ton, and his election would necessari-
ly lead to his retirement from public
life at the end of his term of Office.
He considers himself yet too young to
withdraw into retirement; and, while
he unquestionably has aspirations for
presidential honors with which 10
crown his illustrious career, he feels
confident that he can enjoy such hon
ors eight or twelve or more years
hence as readily as now, These ideas
have recently been expressed by him
to his most intimate personal friends
and are unquostonably the ideas that
viii control him, notwithstanding the
powerful influences now being used tc
WIN his consent to accept nomina-
ton

Another COnllagratiOn in the Oil
Region.

stroyed.
LANsvILLE. PA. July !

lIAMsvlLLE, IA, July y
There was great lire on the Ben
nehoff Run last night. During a
thunder storm the lightning struct a
gas pipe in the Western Union Tele-
gragh Well. The fire quickly com
municated to the tank, which explod-
ed and the oil ran down the Run,
causing the flames to communicate
with several other tanks, which in
turn exploded and caused one Of the
heaviest conhgrations in the oil re-
gions ever experienced.
Between eighteen and twenty large
producing wells were burned up, in
Guiding two or three large flowing
wells, among which were the 'Sheri-
dan" and Western Union Telegraph
wells, both Of them large flowing wells.
The Sheridan had eight or nine tanks
filed with oil, which were!destroyed.
AS far as we can learn some 10000
barrels of oil were destroyed; some es-
innate the number at much larger
figure.
The oil was a foot deep as it ran
down the run to Oil Creek. There
was also between twenty and thirty
derricks destroyed, the wells of which
were in various stages of completion.
The loss cannot be estimated at pres
ent, but is very heavy.

Learning q Trade.

1t was a wise law of the ancient Jews,
that the sons Of even their wealthiest men
should be obliged to serve an apprenticeship
TO some useful occupation, so, that in case
OF reverse of fortune, they might have some
thing TO fall back upon" The same still
exist in Turkey, where every man, even the
Sultan himself, must learn trade. How
fortunate would it be now, had it been a
law in this country Would to God had
a trade :" is the cry Of thousands Of re-
turned soldiers North and South, who find
themselves ruined in pocket, with no imme
diate prospect of gaining a livelihood. 1t
should teach parents that whatever else
they may give their sons, they should give
them good trade. One of our cotempora-
ries most truthfully remarks that a popular
idea mong our people is, that all of their
sons should adopt clerkships, and the adop-
tion of the business Of bookkeeping as q
means of obtaining their livelihood, and
every effort is made to give them an educa
ton TO that end.
So far as the education Of their children
in the science Of keeping proper accounts
is concerned, the idea is good one, as every
young man should have a sufficient knOwl
edge to manage his own books, should he
ever embark in business, but to make book
keepers and clerks of all our boys is a
grand mistake. Better place them in a
workshop, mill, or foundry, where they can
learn independent trades, which, at all
times, will secure for them employment, and
the pecuniaIy compensation for which will
be at least as much, if not more, than the
business of accounts. We earnestly advise
all parents to teach their sons trades, no
matter what, so that it is an industrious
pursuit; and let us ia the future be spared
the pain of seeing so many stout, able
bodied young men out of employment, and
seeking situations where the pen can only
be used-Erehanqe

= REooLLEcTIoNs OF THE REVOLUTION
Sally St. Clair was beautiful, dark eyed
Creole girl The whole treasury of her
love was freely poured out to Sergeant JAS
per, who, on one occasion, had the good
fortune to save her life. The prospect of
their separation almost maddened her. To
sever her long ietty ringlets from her ex-
quisitely formed head, 20 dress in male attire,
to enroll in the corps to which he belonged,
and follow his fortunes in the wars un-
known to him, was resolution no sooner
conceived than taken. In the camp she
attracted no particular attention, except on
the night before the battle, when she was
noticed bending over his couch like good
and gentle spirit, as if listening to his
dreams. The camp was surprised, and
fierce conflict ensued The lovers were
side by side in the thickest Of the fight, but
endeavoring to turn away lance aimed at
the heart of Jasper the poor girl received
it in her own, and fell bleeding at his feet
After the victory, her name and sex were
discovered; and there was not dry eye in
the corps when the body of Sally St. Clair
was laid in the grave, in little green shady
nook that looked as if it had been stolen
out of Paradise, not far from the river
Santee.

The Avalanche says prosecutions add
no strength to government This PROPOSE
ton is at least dubious. Prosecutions are
wrong. So-called prosecutions may or may
not be wrong, but there is not govern
ment in Europe whose existence don't de-
pend on the persecution of its domestic foes.
If Maximilian did not persecute the majority
of the people of Mexico he would be speedi-

I CRYING AT WEDDINGs.--A recent writer
says it is surprising how infectious tears
are at wedding. First Of all, the bride
cries because she is going to be married !;
and then, Of course, the bridesmaids cry,
perhaps because they are not; and the fond
mamma cries because she'll loose her d-d-
darling; and then the fond papa cries be-
cause he thinks it proper; and then all the
ladies cry, because ladies, as a rule, vii,
never miss a chance of crying; and then,
perhaps, the groomsmen cry. to keep the
ladies company; and then the old pewhol-
der cries, to show what deep pecuniary in
terest she takes in the proceedings; and
then, perhaps, the public cries, the public
being, of course, composed exclusively of
petticoats. But, Notwithstanding all these
Niobes, who make quite a Niagara of eye
water around him, we own we never vet
have seen the bridegroom cry, and should
as soon expect TO hear the beadle whimper.

The RIGHTS OF EDIToRs.-The libel suit
of McCabe VS.. the proprietor of the N. Y.
Sunday Mercury, has been undergoing
lengthy trial, and has come to result thus
stated:-The Court held that an editor or
reporter is not legally liable to prove the
absolute truth or accusation which may be
embodied in a fair report Of proceedings
before legal tribunal, and that it is suffi-
cient justification to show that the facts re-
ported have transpired as narrated. If the
decision were otherwise, every conductor
Of newspaper could be forced at the will
or caprice of litigant to become the plain
tiff or defendant alluded to in any report
which might appear in his journal, the &C
curacy Of which might be questioned. The
ruling thus decides that an editor is q mere
publisher of actual occurrences, and cannot
possibly assume in law the position of a
ltigant in cases which he reports, and of the
merits Of which he must necessarily be
wholly ignorant.
