NEW YoRK, August 2.--The Phila 1elpnl9 Il3
Age, OF this morning has douole-le Duou
editorial calling attention TO certain "
rageous articles in the radical press stating
that the Philadelphia Union Convention IS
to be Inobbed out Of existence by the re
turned soldiers, the firemen, &c, as an OIL
set to the mobbing Of the bogus negro sui
ferage convention at New Orleans. Should
such an outrage be attempted says the
Age: "In the event Of the contingency re-
ferred to the municipal arm would be un-
hesitatingly raised to protect the people IN
their rights, and that falling, the stronger
power Of the general government VIII be
called upon, and should that be pOWer!ess,
the last resort of freemen will still be
theirs"

FoEaIGS ITEMS. ~
The Times London letter says OF the at
titude Of the Earepesn potentates:
Will Austria consent to resign all power,
ali right in Germany, and leave Prussia in
supreme command of 400O0,0O0 Germans?
Consenting to this, Austria may have peace,
with an empire Of $4,000, 600 Of people. If
she will not consent, then Prussia will en-
deavor to excite revolt IN Hungary, and
will do her worst to blot Austria from the
map. The Emperor of Franco q. few weeks
ago insisted upon Austria being maintained
as q German power now he appears 10 have
renounced that part of his programme and
urges Austria to accept.s the terms of peace
offered by Prussia and Italy. But there IS
something concealed. The Emperor is not
| ready to intervene, and he may have been
converted by the "needle-gun" TO the Prus-
star policy.
Russia als5, which a few weeks ago
seemed to sympathize with Austria, has be-
come friendly with Prussia. and last night
| il the British House of Commons there as
a regular gioriiieati0n of Count BismGrk,
| and the success of the Prussian army. The
only friend of Austria in the House Of Com
mons was Sir George Dawyer. Three
months ago there was scarcely one to take
the part Of Prussia.
The Imperial mediator was not ready to
| act. No doubt the needle gun was the first
reason, and the attitude Of Russia may have
been the second
Russia seems to have taken offense at the
offer of VeRetia to France.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOB BoUSTIEs.
| WAsHISGTos. Apg. 2.-In making appli
| cation to the Second Auditors Office for the
Il 7sTlrTidad hafra
of deceased soldiers the form of application
| will be the same as heretofore used in ap-
/ pl wing for arrears Of pay and bounty, with
| the exception that the number of the pro-
| vfso settled shgUld always be given and
should be statSt- that the application is
made to recover additional bounty.
/ IRON DUTIES.
It does not seem to be generally under
stood by importers that the Secretary of
tho Treasury has decided that rails and
other manufactures of iron by the Dessimer
process are liable to steel duties, the said
process changing, in fact, the iron into a
metal so closely resembling steel in all par
ticulsrs as to defy the most experienced
judges 70 detect the difference.
REFERRED.
A special order from the War Department
refers the recent act for the equalization Of
bounties to Major General Candy, Surgeon
4 General Barnes, and Brevet Major General
Buchanan IN order that they may prepare
and submit rules and regulations 10 carry
out the provisions Of the law.

ing made TO the President. Five persons
