one touches that powder. They take the
swords and bayOnets to make knives, but they
break off the hilt and leave the scabbard. They
rife the soldiers baggage, but they leave the
knapsack. There Is q plethora of articles
which would be of immense use to these poor
people-such as belts, leathern satchels tin
vessels Of all descriptions, unused cartridges,
not to. speak Of the quantity of metal which
could be obtained by stripping the helmets,
which lie in dozens-but these they do not
touch. What they do take they wash in some
adjoining pool; for blood is everywhere.
There Is now quoted the prophecy OF an old
bohemian soothsayer, who said that, When
there are two kings in Bohemia the bitches will
run with blood 1t is certainly not difficult to
prophecy that in 1867 two and two Will not
make five; but, as it IS, the evident prophecy OF
the Be hemian astrologer has been literally
fulfilled, thouph one must hope that these deep,
red, slow-dripping streams are the blood or
horses rather than OF men. But all over the
wet fields, and on the articles you see lying
about, are terrible stains, we're nothing else
there 10 tell the story. Ii you lift helmet or
cap, there are ten chances to one you find
bulletholo in front OF IT, corresponding circle
behind, while inside there is the universal
crimson stain. Nay ] have card-One of a
pack which has been scattered over The ground
where the fercest encounter seems to have
taken place-wherein is neatly cut one OF these
bullet circles, obterating the shoulder of a
plnk-iaCed young man, who IS courling pink
laced young woman under yellow tree.
'Ihe work OF burial seems TO have been left
in the hands OF the peasantrY, who simply dig a
thickest, and stripping them, fling them in.
Where the soldiers have buried the dead there
is generally the two soars of wood crossed, with
the number of the buried marked; while oCCa-
sionally one or two officers have their name
thereon inscribed with the motto True even
until DEATH And this wonderful work goes
on from morning till nlght-from the first grey
of the dawn until in the evening the white line
of mist trailing along the pine trees on the hull
side finally comes down upon the plain and
forces the men homeWard. The country people,
passing the burned houses and the levelled
grain, and the trampled tarmsteads, grow indIg
nant and talk loudly; but when they come to
this place they go by silently, and do not stay
to look"
THE ROYAL FAMILY OF AUsTRIA-THE EMPERoR's
DEPARTURE.
The Times Vienna correspondent writes under
date of July III
Though the Emperor has a Cabinet it cannot
with truth be SAID that the Austrian empire has
an efficient Government. There is NJ longer
unity of purpose in the ministerial de Oartments,
and the movements in the State machine are,
therefore, exceedingly feeble and irregular. Fl
Maiesty's Ministers are utterly bewIldcred, not
knowing what to do and what to leave undone.'
One of the things that ought to be done
without delay is TO come to an understanding
with Hungary, which would hardly fail to exert
itself to the utmost to prevent the exclusion OF
Austria nom the GeTmanic Confederation. Let
the Emperor restore to the Hungariqns the rights
OF which they have been so long deprived, and
the representatives OF the nation will hardly
fail to prove their loyalty and patriotism by
placing at his disposal almost any number OF
recruits that may be required. The Empress
yesterday returned to Oten, with the Archduke
Rudolph and the Archduchess Gisela, and we
have to-day learned by telegraph that on their
| arrival her Majesty and her children were
heartily welcomed by the inhabitants. The
Emperor accompanied the Empress TO the
Vienna railway terminus, and the separation
must have been very painful. as her Majesty
wept bitterly, and the little Prince and Princess
soobed aloud. Now that his family is in com
parative safety, the Emperor will hardly fail to
go TO the army, which is being concentrated
in the Marchield, in the neighborhood OF
