Geary at Lookout Mountain.

J. II. Headley's History of the Great
Rebellion has recently been published at
Hartford, Conn. From its pages the fol-
lowing graphic passages refer to Geary's
participation in the celebrated battle
"above the clouds" -

The RELIGION OF ASTRONOMY The
following is from Rev A. A. Thayer's
last lecture on this subject:
L believe the stars to be inhabited
by multiplied forms of animal life
The stars are known to possess the ell.
ements Of organized existence. The
telescopes reveal large and small bod
les of water or their surfaces. The
shades of color are we'll marked. The
white drapery of winter gives place to
the green Of summer Atmospheres
are there and clouds are seen to change
and float in the telescope vision. But
water must have ascended to form
these clouds. Doth not rain therefore
descend to empty them !? But rivers
Of water and drops of dew, and MUIR
muring brooks, and verdant hillsides.
are the prerequisites of happy animal
life And hence no doubt, God has
peopled the stars as we'll as adorned
them. 1t seems to be the policy Of
the Divine Sovereign to fill his crea-
ton with life-with happy and blessed
life.

A LITTLE ADVICE.

If you should e'er get married, John,
I'll tell you what to do
Go get little tenement.
just big enough for two!
And one spare room for COMPANY,
And one spare bed within it
And If you'd begin loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin it.
In furniture be moderate, John,
And let the stuffed chairs wait;
one looking glass will do for both
Yourself and loving mate;
And Brussels, too, and other things,
Which make fine appearance,
Ii you can better afford it, they
VIII better look year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb and costly, too;
Your wife will be picture, John,
Let that suffice for you;
Remember how the wise man said,
tent and love within it
Is better than a splendid house,
with pickering every minute,
And one word as to cooking John,
Your wife can do that best;
For love, to make the biscuit rise,
Is better far than yeast
No matter if each day you don't
BRING turkey to your table
Twill better relish by and by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John,
Money that very day
II you would nave your life run smooth,
There is no better way;
note to pay is an ugly thing
Ii thing you choose TO call it
When it hangs DER man who has
No money in his wallet.
And now when you are married, John,
DON'T try to ape the rich;
1t took them many toilsOme year
To gain their envIed niche;
And If you gain the summit, John,
Look well to your beginning,
And then will all you win repay
The care and toll of winning

of twenty-seven square miles. The
large hall, called the Kaiseraal (the
Hall of Emperors) is remarkable for
its splendor. 1t contains the portraits
of all the Emperors of Austria, paint
ed by the first masters of Germany
and Italy. The walls are frescoed in
Pompeiian style, The floor represents,
by inlaid woodwork of most costly
kind, the renowned painting of Kaul-
bach, Hunncuschlacht (the battle of
Huns.) Every piece of furniture is of
ebony wood inIaid with ivory and solid
gold.
Another hall is called King Edward
Ii. Hall. The furniture was brought
over from the Castle of Carnaryon.
and is the Identical furniture used by
the renowned English king. The
dlning-saloon is called the Hirschaal
(the Deerhall.) The chairs, tables.
goblets, doors and floor are made of
deerhorn. The door of this splendid
room has cost five thousand forms or
two thousand five hundred dollars
10 give in short an idea of the costli-
ness of the whole, 1T may suffice to
state that Count Harrach devoted
during twelve years, the income of
twenty two estates for the building and
decorating ofthis castle, called 'Schloss
Hradek.'
Count Harrach himself is not only a
nobleman of the highest standing, but
also manufacturing lord The great
Bohemian glass manufactory at Neu-
Wald, an immense iron work, numer-
GUS cotton mills, Hnon opinneres and
coal mines, and vast estates in Bohe-
mia, Moravia and Stiria, give him an
income of nearly 100000 forins or
nearly 91,000,000 The Prussian az
my, therefore, will find a splendid
camping place in the large deer park
OF the Count, and the Prussian com
mander splendid headquarters in the
Castle of Hradel1.

THE BATTLE.
From Gallignrs Messenger, July g.

from Gallgni's Messenger, July 81
At the battle fought close to Konig-
gratz, the Prussians, whose centre was
at Sadowa, had placed in line nearly
the whole military forces which the
monarchy could dispose Of The Aus
trians, who had their centre at Lippa;
had also brought on the field all the
dIspoSable strength ofthe empire, with
the exception Of the army of Yenetia
The shock was terrible, and on both
sides the greatest bravery was display
ed. A turning movement of The Prus-
slams, who cOntriVed, in consequence
OF a tog, and under cover of the smoke
produced by the firing, to establish
themselves unperceived at Chlumec,
decided the fate Of the day. The
Austrlans, attacked all Of sudden on
the flank and rear, yielded almost in
stlnctlVeIy, and, i'll spite of their cour-
age, and their first success in the early
part OF the day, gave way. The Prus-
slams pressed on with extraordinary
vigor, SO that at last the wing was cut
off from the main body, and perfect
panic set in; the retreat of the Aus
trians became changed into Il rout. and
the bridges over the EIbe did not suf
ticc to afford a passage to tho mass Of
tugltlyes.
The generals, princes of the imperial
family and superior officers vainly
gave an example of the most desperate
courage. Nothing avaied Three
Archdukes were wounded and a great
number Of general officers were either
wounded, made prisoners or killed.
The real amount ofloss on both sides is
not yet known but it must be i'm
mense.
The Austrian army had, before the
battle, taken up a position, as we men,
toned yesterday, on the right bank of
the Elbe, but was forced violently to
the other side-that is, toward the
east The fate Of the two fortresses,
Josephstadt and Konniggratz is as yet
unknown. Will they open their gates
to the enemy without opposition, or
will they resist? No one can say; but
the result is unimportant, being only a
matter Of detail.

way line which runs there are aban.

a prisoner, mating is laid down on

men at the place are but little more

MN, that IN their society time may
pass pleasantly, and, in fact, whatever
the Government can do to make his

We saw yesterday a man who was,
two years ago, what the Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis Is now, prisoner of war
his prison was situated on sandy,
barren plain, from which the trees had
been carefully removed that they might
not shelter him and some ten thousand
OF his comrades. His clothes were ia
ken from him; he was fed upon rotten
meat, spoiled meal, and for drink he
had water, when he could get it, which
a hog outside of that prison would re-
fuse to wallow in He was kept some
times for days with nothing to eat,
and IN the madness and despair of
starvation frequently struggled with
his fellow sufferers for the possession
of garbage. A bone gnawed by an Of
tcer's dog was priceless, a shred of
grlstle was a luxury, and medicines
for the sick or decent interment for
the dead were unexpected and unheard
Of He existed in this hell upon earth
thirteen months, and came out wreck
physically and mentally. This man
was a Union soldier, his prison was
A Andersonville, and his keepers starved
him by the express command of the
same Jefferson Davis who is now being
attended and fed like prince at For,
tress Monroe. "Treason must be made
odiOus."

Hydroph0bia.-The Times, published
at Leeds, England, says that nitrate of
silver (lunar caustic,) rubbed into the
wound made by the teeth of a mad
dog, will cure hydrophobia and pre-
vent all injurious consequences from
the wound. The remedy should be APP
piled as soon after the accident as pos
sible, as the virus disseminates through
the whole system in six weeks, and
then all hope is gone. DR. Youatt, the
well-known veterinary surgeon, says
he has been bitten eight or ten times
and has always cured himself by this
means.

unknown in the city. He came from
Charlestown, South Carolina. He was
totally devoured, with the exception
of a portion of his clothing.

This is the way of the world. Everybody
gazes with admiration upon the rich, while
they turn away from vIrtuous poverty. Let
a man make ten thousand dollars, and he Is

Possess; a fortune and live at the miepost,

is REBEELIoN CRUSHED.

The radical aud rebcllions press Of the
South, representing the elements of the
same character among the politicians, grows
more and more rampant, in proportion to
the aid and comfort that is received by tham
from other quarters. The following from
the Richmond Enquirer is about a fair SAM
pie Of thespirit and utterances ofthat paper
and Its coadjutors. We give ats own italics:
''The revolutionary violence Of the radi
Gals will be resisted to blood, if need be; and
to that extremity, the struggle seems likely
to proceed, unless one party or the other
shall triumph at the polls not simply by a
majority but by an Ocei7rhctudt9 majority
No eauivocal or even result, no faiut.victory
will avail to maintain the peace; only such a
triumph as shall cover all cavils, and over
whelm the hopes Of tlp defeated,
It strikes us that this was their style Of
sueech before the election Of Nv. Lincoln in
1860. Something Of the same strain of
eleccioneering was adopted, wheni6 was SAID
hundred times over, that the election of
Mr. Lincoln would be sufficient cause for
breaking up the Union, or for attempting it
by force of arms
It seems, too, that they have raised the
terms on which peace is to be maintained,
by making a new and extraordinary rule for
the determining Of elections. Majorities
viii not answer their modest purposes, but
oUeqchelming majorites are demanded.
Who is to be the Judge whether majorities
are overwhelming or not, But the new
rule of elections proposed by these men, Ella
ted and intoxicated with their new born
hopes must not be overwhelming, but must
''cover all cavils' of tho defeated.
This is the sort Of temper, and those the
views that went into the Philadelphia
Convention from the States lately in REBEL
ion. It is easy to see what kind Of recon
struction policy this spirit will dictate, and
it is equally plain what would be the effects
of such policy on the peace, liberty and
prosperity of the country The babbling
