line of battle from Pozzuols TO Valleggio,
and directed General GovoDe to carry
Custozza at the head of the Ninth Dlvl-
sion. Govone not only succeeded in car
rying OustoLza, but held it until night
came, and he was then ordered to
retire slowly toward the Mincio- Monte
TORE and Montecroce were likewise car
ried at the point of the bayonet by Gen.
Cuggia, commander of the second division
of Della Rocea's corps. Night was COM
ing on fast when the order was given to
General Bixio to advance, in order that
the First Corps (Durando's) might slowly
fall back to the position assigned to It.
Bixio, who was burning with the desire
70 inssaar Is mani G. to fght-advaneed
so vigorously with his division (the Sew
enth of the army and First of the Third
Corpsl, fanked by two regiments of cav
ment compelled to fall back on their re-
serves. Thus ended the glorious battle Of
Sunday last. l say glorious, for both par
ties fought bravely to the last. Beginning
at $50 in the morning, the action lasted
till late at night-more than sixteen
hours. At the end the Italians and Aus
trisns remained masters of the positions
on which they had so long fought.
The battle have sketched in this letter
cost the Italians terrible losses. General
Villarey was killed by q bullet through
the head while leading his men to the
charge Generals Durando, Cerapi, Coz
zani and Dho were more or less severely
wounded over one hundred Italian off
GERS, / hear, we're put hors du combat
and many hundred privates killed. The
Italians made 1000 prisoners, but it is
reckoned that those made by the Aus
TRANS are quite equal in number. or the
Austrian losses we can not form an exact
idea, but they must have been very heavy
All the various contests having been de-
cided by the bayonet, there must have
been terrible havoc.
Henry ]. Raymond as boomerang
The Detroit Post explains the contra
dictory career of Henry ]. Raymond on
philosophical principles, by comparing him
to a boomerang. Hear It: s-a
Just so with Mr.. Raymond. We have
seen him project himself straight away
from the Civil Rights bill, passing out Of
sight around the corner of the Whit
House; but when the bill was voted up
on, whack he comes in the very middle o.
its friends, voting for the measure he haC
spoken against, having made a boomer
ang circuit clear around the WhitsHouse
the Copperhead campand the reconstruct
ed rebels, and coming up in the rear o
Radicals. So when we saw him launched
out so iercely toward Philadelphia, WI
l1 49,
from around some unexpected corner, t
land in the Radical ranks. And having
taken a new fight with the radicals, W,
were partially prepared for his coming
f through the back way in the midst of tn
Democrats again.
, Mr.. Raymond can't help it. It is hi
nature, which is essentially of the boomer
ang order. Launch him out of the from
! door, and watch him till he fades in tn
. distance, and the next moment crash h
comes, flying through the back window.
If he was pointed at the White House, W
, should expect he would land in Wendell
Phillips back yard; just as he was aimet
toward Congress, and struck in Andrew
Johnson's private pantry. And now tina
, he is once more started in the direction Q
Philadelphia, we confidently expect tina
he will land in the midst of the Uniol
4 party again, at al unexpected moment
before that Convention is through. BeinI
in favor of the Philadelphia Convention
now, he would cease to be q boomerang
he should fail to do his "level best" again;
it next month. So we advise the rea
rank of the radical column to keep q VI
cant place for Mr.. Raymond, and look OF
! for their heels. We predict that he car
? not remain long with Montgomery Blail
! who is another political boomerang, an
! no two of these singular weapons ever y
kept tie same course.
