In a Rapid Decline.

Immediately after the nomination of Heis-
ter Clymer, tor Governor, on the 4th of
March last, says the Reading Journal, his
friends in Berks claimed for him majority
Of 10000, in the county. At meeting
held in Bernyille on the eth June, these
same men pledge the county for ''at least
1000 majority. IF his supporters are will
ling to concede reduction of 5000 in three
months, without an effort on the part of his
opponents, how much of the 1000 will re-
main to him when his claims are fairly can
vassed before the people in contrast with
those of the man who did not count his
life dear" that his country might survive?

A Good Shot.

Some Of the Copperhead leaders in Berks
are complaining because Heister Clymer,
Copperhead candidate for Governor, was
not assigned a conspicuous position in the
great Philadelphia Soldiers parade. Heis-
ter Clymer, indeed Aud Why should he
have been thus honored Is it because of
his vote against arming the State in 1861
Or his vote against Increased pay to the
Soldiers his vote in favor OF distranchis-
ing the Soldiers in the field, or his steadtast
opposition throughout the war, to every
patriotic measure In which the brave Sol
d;ers OF the Commonwealth h were interested
Had the Committee of arrangements placed
Clymer in that line of battle. Scared veterans,
every Soldier would have resented it as
personal outrage. Heisfer Ciymer, ty his
unpatriotic course had no right. nor the
shadow of a claim to any participation in
the Grand Ovation. He was very properly
LETT out.
Gen. John W. Geary, on the other hand,
earned the right by long and gallant servi-
ces, to the position assigned him as Head
of Division. Every Soldier present felt
that the honor accorded to him. and the
cheers that greeted him on every hand. as
he passed through the streets, were most
justly his due. The difference between the
two Gubernatoral candidates was never
more correctly defined than by their respec
tive positions on the late memorable ami
versary. Gen. Geary at the head of his
gallant white Star Division, in the Sol
diers parade. Hester Cl, mer. at the head
of his Copperhead allies and Knights of the
Golden Circle, who did all that they could

Chicago Copperhead resolutions set forth.

The War In Europe.

By the arrival of the ST. Dayids off Fa-
ther Point we have one day later news from
Europe. The battle at Skalits does not ap-
pear to have been as decisive as was infer
red from the previous adyices. Both sides
claimed the advantage. According to Prus-
sian accounts, the Austrians were driven in
the direction of Josefstadt The third
Prussians army corps took 1000 prisoners.
An attack of the Prussians upon the CALI
clan town of Oswicezym was repulsed. The
Austrians had occupied the Silesian town of
Myslonwitz, but 1t was soon reoccupied by
the Prussians. The King of Italy, in dis
patch to the Council of Ministers, says that
the battle at CastuZza was neither won or
lost. The army will at once be concentrat-
ed for new advance.
LAFEa.-By the arrival of the Persia we
have two days later news from Europe
TAe Austrians and Prussian dispatches on
the campaign in Bohemia continue to be
contradictory. The Prussians claim to have
made on the 9th and 2sth of June, 5000
prisoners at Nachod, and 8 900 at Trantenan.
and to have gained a complete victory at
these tive places as well as at Munchengratz.
The Austrians, in turn, claim victory at
Skalitz on the 9th, and triumphantly an
nounce that the final results of the battles
of the 18th, was the retreat of the Crown
Prince to Glatz, in Silesia, and of Prince
Frederic Charles to Niemes, near the Saxon
frontier. The Prussians had captured Trop-
in a,l
way communication between Vienna and
Cracow, but their attack upon Osswiecin,
in Galhcia, was repulsed The Austrians
have invaded Lombardy from the Iyrol, and
captured Bormio.
--LATEST. THE Austrian dispatches which
claimed repulse OF the Prussian armies
and their withdrawal to Silesia and Saxony,
were soon contradicted by string events.
On the 29th of June, the Prussians storm
ed the town OF Gitschin, and compelled the
Austrians to fall back to .josephstadt and
koeniggratz. This victory secured the
which Benedek concentrated the whole OF
the Austrian and the Saxon forces. To-
gether the contending forces numbered up
ward Of 600, 900 men. A great and decisive
battle was fought on the Sd of July at Lu-
dowa, in which the Austrians were totally
defeated, losing no less than $4,000 prison
ers. They Immediately sent in flag of
truce. Austria, after this crushing defeat,
agreed to cede Veneria to the emperor of
France, asking his mediation. Napoleon at
once Communicated with the beiligerents.
and proposed an armistice. The replies Of
Italy and Prussia to this proposition have
not yet been received.
