Prussia, AUSTRIA AND ITALY.-It is q
sad spectacle to contemplate what is going
on in the heart OF Europe. The people of
one nation are slaughterng the people Of
another and being slaughtered oy them,
and Tor WHAT Merely because two great
powers are ccfferding 10 Ser which will be
greatest, and il is for this thnt families are
starving and husbands, brothers and sons
are dying upon the battle field. five could

might take some consolation, but it is mel

According 70 the latest advices, the Prus-
SLAMS have made the most gigantic strides.
They have not only compelled the whole

sian army has invaded Bohemia from Saxony
by way Of Reichenberg and another has

defeat Austria i said u have made the
proposition 20 cede Venila 10 France,
whereupon France proposed an armestice.
Whether Prussia and Italy have agreed to
the proposition or not Is still a matter Of

Of blood or expended franc Of treasure, he
is ready now to step in like the fox in the
fable after the wolf and the bear have been
exhausted and carry OF the booty himself.
He maintains great reserve and nothing has
escaped to give clue to his plans. But We
will not venture too much 10 say that the
author Of the Life Of Caesar has plans, and
plans too OF no ordinary magnitude, which
will develop themselves in due time. We
must await patiently and see what the wire
