ENGLISH AID FOR THE WOUNDED.
number of English ladies Of rank, Roman
Catholics in religion, have undertaken to collect
funds for the relief of tho Austrian wounded, and
of tho widows and orphans Of those who fall.
The financial embarrassment Of Austria, they
say, is but too notorious, and, overwhelmed as
she is with enemies on all sides the extraordina-
ry exertions she has been compelled to make
render her quite incapable of providing for the
wants of those who have bled and suffered in her
cause.
BIsMARK's BED ON THE NIGHT OF THE BATTLE.
The correspondent Of tho Paris Steele, NJ VII,
BORT writing from the Prussian headquarters on
the 7th, says:
| "M de Bismark arrived in Horsitz ON tho night
of the great battle. No preparations had been
made for the accommodation of the headguar-
ters which were established in the morning at
houses were closed. There was no bread, and all
the straw that could be had was used for the
wounded. In this state of things, the President
Of the Council lay down on tho pavement Of the
Place of Horsitz. and, without pillow, slept that
pleasant sleep whioh the soldier who has won a
victory knows" H,
SCENES IN BOHEMIA.
Accounts from Bohelni,. describe as of the
most heartrending sights Imaginable the crowds
of women, 9th of the highest and lowest classes,
who. having rushed tJ~the scenes of carnage
from ali parts OF North and South Germany, are
seen wandering ovor the battle fields, through
lazarets and hospitals looking for their fathers,
husbands, brothers and lovere. The terrible cries
that every now ard then strike the ear when one
OF these heartbroken creatures has suddenly dis
covered her dearest friend among hoap of slain
or dying on the battle field, among the thou
sands Of the sick, are said to shake even those
M at hardened against all forms and expressions
Of human misery. It is chiefly in Turnau, where
the thousands of wounded Of SAdowa at present
are housed, and tended by the numerous Sisters
OF Mercy and Knights of St. John of Jerusalem,
, that these scenes mostly occur. Many Of the
poor ladies have to return to their homes without
inding those they sought and the ordinary means
} OF communication being worry much interrupted,
they often think themselves lucky il they obtain
q small seat on an ammunition wagon, or vehicle
filed with convalescent soldiers reioining their
corps. But they are everywhere treated kindly
, and courteousy.
