Farther Point, July 25.-The steamer Hi

Liverpool advicss to the 10th inst, at P. NJ.
She did no. stop at Londonderry.
A sangunary conflict took place on the
18th, between the Prussans and Federals,
near Aschaffehburg The former were entire
ly successful The town was in flames, and
the Federals were retreating.
The Prussians were marching on Frank fort,
which town had been evacuated by the Fed
eral troops, and the Diet had removed to Au-
gustenburg, where the foreign representatives
were expected to assemble The head-quar-
ters of the Prussian army, under the King,
have been advanced to Brunn
Igan was reported to be in possession Of the
Prussians.
Cialdini had occupied Padua aud Vicenza
towns ON the railroad to Venice.
The Ausirimls in Veneta, except those in
Venice, had thus had no railway communica-
tion with Vienna, So that unless Cialdini be dis
lodged the Austrians cannot render aid in the
impending battle with the Prussians
The Times of July 10th says: Whatever
forces the Austrian Government may have
succeeded in gathering around Vienna, it is
still doubtful whether ii will itself be equal
to the task of withstandng the victorious
Passans, who, according to all calculations
should assemble before Vienna tomorrow or
the day after,

Diamonds and Tears.

One of the accounts of the marriage of the
that when the Queen Mother, who gave away
the bride, answered the questions of the
Lord Primate, she did So with a gesture full
of dignity and determination. There is a
good deal of meaning in this little paragraph
1t reveals "Romance in High Life" 1t
means that the fincess HELENA was enam-
ored Of young Marquis who aspired to
her love it means that the bride had shed
passionate tears, and uttered earnest remon-
strances, against becoming the wife of man
whose name alone constitutes a valid ohiec-
ton to the match. Think of it His Royal
IIighnsss Prince CHRISTIAN of Schlsswg-
IIolsteinS onderbourg -Augustenbourg
This explains the determination" of her
Majestys gesture, The House of Hanover
has been famous for this sort of determine
tien, and the Royal Marriage Act" has cut
off the Princess HELENA from the serene
happiness Of home. Honiton lace and the
glitter of diamonds are fine things, without
doubt; but the wearer tears the lace and
casts aside the jewels sometimes, in the sick
ness of heart which the great folks in Van
ity Fair feel at the disappointments, which
attend them, just as they do Common peo-
pie" Seeing which, we comfort ourselves
with the compensation theory, that teaches
us to believe happiness and misery are more
equally divided than is generally supposed
We recommend this little story to our readers
who wear Swiss muslin and gaiter boots, as
full of wholesome food for thought. There
are many things in this world better than
diamonds, rare laces, aud royal crowns

The Foreign News.

Success still crowns the arms of the Prus-
slams, and the House of Hapsburg may well
cry out for liking TERESA" to rise and ami
mate them for the last struggle soon to be
made, against the assaults of an enemy
whose battalions thus far have overcome all
resistance. 1t seems to admit of little doubt,
that the fnal battle will be fought under the
walls of Vienna, and then new map of
Europe will be made. Thus far, it seems
that LOUIS NAPOLEON has failed to command
the attention to his suggestions which he
himself evidently expected them to meet; and
we have little doubt that his Imperial Majesty,
in the overthrow of the "detested treaties of
1915" sees less chance to-day of advancing
the frontiers of France to the Rhine, than he
did after the battle of Custozza

ton of her population composed of women
and children. The profits from msnufacto-
ries are far more remunerative than perhaps
any other branch Of enterprise, as is exhibit
ed in the excessive dividends declared by the
New England factories, which have mainly if
not exclusively contributed to the vast accu-
mutation of wealth in that section of the
country. Cotton and other factories in the
South, by reason of their contiguity to the
staple, by which transportation and other in
cidental expenses distributed among middle
men, would be saved, would be a most profit
able investment, and we are gratified to OBJ
serve that this subject is attracting the atten-
ton of the more Southern cotton growing
States
The manufacture of ice is now becoming a
prominent subject and the profits derived
from the enterprise are exceedingly remunera-
tive. Indeed they are too high to admit of a
general consumption of the coveted luxury
This excess Of charge however, is only Incl
dental to the infancy of the enterprise, and of
course, as the manufacture expands and COM
petition is excited the price will be reduced
so as to admit of the consumption and enjoy
mcnt of the luxury by the poor, as well as
the rich man.
This ice manufacturing enterprise was COM
menced some years ago in Augusta successfully
during the war, but was, from some cause I'M
known to us, abandoned 1t is, however, to
be resumed there, and in other Southern cities.
In Shreveport, Louisiana, company is in
operation. The ice, however, sells at five
cents pound, which is too high, and its man
ufacture would not succeed here on account
of this excessive charge But, as we remark
cd, we have no doubt it can be afforded at a
less rate, as we Judge by the dividend of six
per cent. month on an investment of $40
900. This was on the capital invested. and
for the first month, 1t is asserted that ice
can be manufactured for So so per ton, at
home. If this be so, the enterprise will prove
success, and render us independent of sup
ply from abroad. AS we remarked ia the
outset, if we can, in the matter of ice, render
ourselves Independent, there is no reason, as
there has been none, why we should not build
factories to supply ourselves with the neces-
saries of life, for which we have been SO long
dependent upon others All that is wanting
is the will and energy ON our part Though
capital at the South is scarce, yet at the North
money is abundant, and any amount could be
obtained there upon proper security upon real
estate, which the Southern people could easily
make the proper arrangements to give. We
learn that ice factories are to be established
not only at Augusta, but throughout Georgia,
Alabama, and, indeed, the entire South. We
hail any manufacture as auguring well for
our enterprise and future commercial indie
pendence.

southern Manufacture of Ice.

1t would seem that if the South can manu-
faeture her own ice and thus render herself
independent OF the North for her annual sup
ply, she can, by proper exertion and enter
prise, manufacture every other material which
she requires, and with which she now sup
plies herself from abroad
She ought long ago to have built up Cotton
and other factories, by which she might have
rendered herself less dependent upon others,
and thus given employment to the large por-

If anything was needed to render the Aus
trian position hopeless, it was the tidings of
the irreparable disaster at Aschaffenburg,
which must have reached Vienna. Pressed
by deputation from the Viennese municip-
atty, inquiring the Emperors pleasure in re-
gard to the dcfenses of Vienna, the Emperor
at once removed the peoples spprehensions
by answering that Vienna would be treated
as an open city, and added, that he would
limit his military operations to a defense of
the line Of the Danube-a plan which might
bring the Prussians on Floredorif, a village
two OF three miles from the gates Of Vienna,
where the Austrians have an intrenched
camp as tete du pont.
Should the Prussians, however resolve to
attack Vienna, they would certainly attempt
to cross the river at several points, and in
case Of success the open city would unavoid-
ably fall into their hands
| The state Of Encouragement into which the
Austrian army has been thrown by their re-
peated losses in Bohemia, the Times believes
| will deter the Emperor from a final encoun-
ter so close to the capital, and trusts that be-
fore tho Prussians shall be ready for the onset,
the interview between the two monarchs will
take place, which might have been more OPP
portunely held on the day after the disaster
Of Konniggratz.
| In diplomatic circles at ST Petersburg it
was declared that Russia has no present in
tention of abandoning its policy of neutrality,
and that only in case of any active interven-
ton on the part of any foreign Power in the
German conflict she would make known her
declarations and take an attitude correspond
| ing with her interests.
The Moscow Gazette expresses an entire
sympathy with the Italian cause, and tavors
the annexation Of Rome to Italy.
| Advices from Sunburg state that all SOL
diers on filrlough in Russia have been called
in, and that military trains start every day
from Warsaw to the frontier of Silesia and
Galacia. Russian troops were marching
| from Padolla to Bessaraba.
The Spanish Government had prohibited
the sale Of newspapers in the public streets.

the negotiations between Napoleon and the
eontending Powers
