APPROACHING CONTINENTAL WAR

GARIBALDI SHROUDED IN SILENCE
ETC., ETC., Etc, Etc. Etc, ETC.. Etc.

The mails by the steamship City Of Paris an
rived here this morning, and in addition to the
telegraphic news published in THE EVENING
TELEGRAPH of Saturday, we find the following
important news, taken from journals OF the I1th
OF July, latest received:-
Battle OF SudOwa-Dr. RusseIl's Letter
from the Austrian Headquarters.
In the London Times of the 18th instant there
appears classical and complete history of the
greatest of modern battles-the Waterloo of
Austria-Sudowa.
After telling us all about the Austrian army,
its position, and commanders, the battlefield,
the opening OF the conflict, and the burning of
Imolovitz, Sudowa, Klum, Nechanitz, and other
villages, DR.. Russell proceeds to describe the
terrible carnage and the grand man@uvres, as
follows
CAVALRY CHARGE.
HoHENMAUTH, July 4.-The very color of the
ground was changed and dark kaned under the
trampling of horses. One column went towards
the NeChanitz road, the other two moved to-
wards Klum; but after a few formations they
halted again, and some of the regiments dis.
mounted and stood by their horses The SaXons
readily to be DISTINGUISHED by their light blue,
also advanced parallel with the Prague road
towards the top of the slope. This was some
time after IL O'clock, when the Prussian lett
and centre had visibly given way, though fight
ing with extreme tenacity and fervor. The
light cavalry, at the same time, or part of them,
advanced towards Klum in the centre, awaiting
the moment to deluge the plain with an exult-
ing flood. But the time was not come.
The Prussians, reinforced, or calling in their
second line and reserves, came with desperate
impetus uD the slopes on the left and centre,
and also developed a new attack on the left OF
the Prague road. which looked like a black
riban6 now and then as the smoke was driven
off by the wind. They were intent on turning
Ialt ffrNnC ln hut Inv Ekrhh
and successful resistance at that point. Soon
afterwards, in the midst of heavy fall OF rain,
the cavalry made another advacce, and when IL
cleared the Austrian infantry were seen to have
moved still further to the left and centre, while
| the sound of the cannonade grew so deafenine
that the Prussians must have been driven back
beyond the position they occupied when they
began the action.
HOPE OF THE AUsTRIANs.
Between ll'30 and IL o'clock the Austrians
were to all intents successful on the centre and
on its flanks, although the fury of the can
nonade and the incessant rattle of musketry all
along the front from the front of NechanitZ to
| the plateau beyond Klum attested the severity
| the Prussians Probbis, another pretty village,
| was now in flames; three villages burning al
once, tarmhouses adding their contingents to
the fire and smoke, caissons blowing up, shells
bursting, and the slopes and hill tops covered
with grey and blue speCks-each man in agony
| or in death. Again the cavalry moved onwards
| This time one division, in three bodies crowned
| the ridge and formed near the front line under
| the church, on the lett of Klum, in the centre
| and lett OF the position, and there they waited
| once more. But now on the right the action
aWoke again. and, to our surprise, very heavy
fire of musketry, comparatively close at hand
| came from the direction OF SmirlintZ; the Aus
| trians on the crest of the ridge moved uneasily
| while MANY more stragglers than one cared &c
| see passed down towards the railroad.
| Whatever the cause Of the agitation, the Prus
slams on the centre and left pressed their attack
with renewed vigor, and the contest which
ensued was of exceeding herceness; but still th;
enemy did not prevail-the AustT1ans not only
held their ground, but repulsed the enemy, ad
vanced against them, took their ground anC
made prisoners. From the left of Klum to the
Prague road and beyond it, all was hre anC
smoke. The tumult OF voices was dreadful, ant
such as Is never to be heard save in some sucl
awful agony OF battle. The Austrians again ad
vanced little near the big tree, and two bat
teries OF reserve artillery could be seen driVlnl
fast to the lett to strengthen the attack.
THE PRUssIAN RESERVE
But the Prussan reserves were once NOR
called upon. and from 1890 till nearly oiclocl
there was an artillery ire from centre to lett fo
six miles or more, which could not well hay
been exceeded in any action of which histor,
| makes mention. That ammunition was hecom
ing needed In the advance position was eyiden
from the motion of the trains of supply and re
serve, and we watched the cavalry with intens
| interest as II seemed 10 be the time for them A
make an impression. The PTusslaRs wer
: wavering. At O'Clock the Prusslans, however
recovered some OF the ground on the right nea
the big tree. The Austrian artillery began b
i fall back over the brow Of the hill, and agai
battRHons OF infantry came in sight and move
