Field. Marshal Benedek, the Austri-
an Comm aMdcr-in-Chief.
BERLIN, May 20,


The military correspondent of the hol-
niche Zeitung has lately given some in
formation respecting Field. Marshal Ben
edek which possesses considerable inter-
est from the important part that he VIII
probably play In the approaching cam
naigu. He saws that Beuedek is not 10
be looked upon with loving eye by the
Austrian nobility, who regard him As
mere parpeaue. Unfortunately, there Is
no Austrian general who was not beaten
in 1859, aud consequently BenedeE mas
become an unpleasant necessity, IN splIe
of his want of aristocratlc birth. Wheh
the Emperor offered him the commander
the Army of the North, he consented 10
accept ii only under certain conditions
The first of these was that 1t should con-
sist of at least 100000 men. He is re-
ported TO have said that the Prusslans
were more dangerous, and for the time,
q more hated enemy than the Italians,
and that the only proper plan was TO at-
tack them with such an overwhelming
force. and to deal them such colossal
blows as TO crush them in the first IN
stance. The Prussian needle gun ana
rifed cannon would probably occasion
the Austrians severe losses, but that the
latter must push on, regardless OF any
sacrifice of life, however great. In IT,
aly, on the other hand, Austria should at
frst act on the defensive, and only after
Prussia had been thoroughly vanQulShed
and Silesia re-conquered and Berlin
burned to the ground, should Austria
direct her victorious armies to the Sonth
and settle her accounts with Italy IL
would appear from this that Benedek Is
a General of the school OF Gen. Gran!
The Emperor has agreed to this condl'
ton. and the consequence is that the ar
nv intended to operate against PrusslS
will consist of seven complete army
corps in addition to strong cavalry
reserve, whereas the Southern army VIII
consist of only three corps.
Benedek's second condition must have
been a somewhat bitter pill for an I'm
perial Hapsburg, but it has been swal
lowed nevertheless. 1t was, namely, ina
no archduke should be present with tn
army. None of the archdukes are re
garded as prodigies of military genius
and they will accordingly do garriso
duty in the fortresses Of the south. ID
third condition was that he should sele'
all the officers of his staff, which, lrol
r his known proclivities, is nearly equlV

THE NEW PARYY.-It is a little anus
ing to see how speedily and how quietly
the movement for organizing new par
ty has "gone to the bad" The few Re-
publicans of prominence who were en-
gagged in it are becoming ashamed OF
their blunder, und busy themselves in
endeavors to prove that, after all, they
did not intend to do anything, or lend
their count9nance to anything that
would cause break in the Union lines.
The Democrats, who hoped to capture
the Cabinet Secretaries and make a gen.
eral combination under their lead upon
a new platform, are disguised TO ma
that those gentlemen unitedly stand by
the principles of the party which called
them into power, and repudiate with de-
cided emphasis the damaging assocla
ton sought to be forced upon them
They therefore demand re-Organiza
ton of the Cabinet, but, to their mortl
fiCstion and chagrin, the President man
TESTS no disposition to take their advice

Ian retains his portfolio. The Chicago
platform Democracy-the disloyalists o
the war-may as we'll accept the doom

ALARMED.-"Perley" telegraphs from

follows:
"The wooden manufacturers are quite

mate that he has shown too much par
TALLY to the wool growing interests Of
Vermont, to the prejudice of the manu-

a leading interest of his own State and
they admit that he does, he is acting

There is such thing as OVERRIDING

A TERRIFIC ToRNADo.-A most de-
structive tornado swept over Sections
village, near Beaufort, S. c., recently.
The village consisted of fifty houses,
forty-five of which were totally destroyed
Some of the houses were carried dis
lance of three miles, with their inmates
in them. Many of the freed beople were
killed and wounded men, women, and
children. Near the village was a pond,
into which several were blown and
drowned. All the furniture, trunks,
chests, bed-clothing, wearing apparel
and greenbacks of these unfortunate
creatures were carried away. From the
succeeding Saturday to Monday the re
manning freed people were engaged II
searching for and burying the dead.

THE CRoPs.-The New York CONNER
cial Advertiser publishes nearly four col
umns of newspaper reports in regard to
the growing crops in various sections OF
the country. No very close estimate OF
the coming harvest can be made from
perusal of these accounts, which appear
to be colored somewhat by the medium
through which they are represented
some of the reports from particular Sec
lions contradicting each other in mate
rial points. But enough can be gathered
to indicate that we are to have very
good fruit crop in New England that
apples, especially, will "set" and "hold
ON to an encouraging extent; that
there will be full average yield of corn
and wheat in the northern tier of the
Middle ard Western States, and that
these staples are not prospecting as well
as could be desired in the Southern tier
that the yield of cotton is likely to be
seriously affected by the poor quality Of
seed sown; that the planters of Louis.
lana and Texas will not be successful in
raising cane mo pun intended) as in past
years that the first crop OF grass will
be heavy in all sections; and that the
tobacco worms choose to leave large
supply of their favorite food for the ust
of man. In short, we feel warranted in
predicting that unless universal delugt
or universal drought shall occur, there
will be, taking the country through, {
fair average return for the labors of th'
husbandman; that scarcity in one sec
ton will be compensated for by plent!
in another; and that the return of tn
annual harvest festival will bring tn
usual causes for thanksgiving.
