llanau, 20 and so, besides the engagement
OF Wartcnburg, October 5, the combat of
Moeckcrn near Madgcburg, April s, not to
be confounded with the battle of Mocckcrn.
October l6, which formed an episode in the
battle of Leipzig. The combats of Konigs-
warths and Wcssig, May 1S; the combat Am
Goerder Wald, September 1G; the combat
near Wemcr between Tcttenborn and Le

ten, and innumerable smaller fights, impossi-
bio to remember.
The only battles i'll which Prussians alone,
without being encountered by Russians or
Austrnns, fought the French were Luckmau,
Gross. Beron, Katzbach and Dennewitz, and
the engagement Of Wartenberg, in all five of
which the Prussiaus were VICTORIOUS. Tho
battle Of Dennewitz is moreover the most clio.
rlous victory of this century. Forty thousand
frusslans under Buow utterly routed seventy
thousand Frenohmen under Ney. No nation
can show such glorious victory in the pres.
cnt century. In the year 1914 there wero
six important battlcs La Rothier (Febru.

(Alarch 8, lO,) Montereau (NIarch Is, be.
licve,) Arcs sur Aube (NIarch 2O) and Paris
(March 30), then the engagement of Craonno
(Alaroh 8, if remember right,) tho combats
OF Chanpaubert, Vauchamps, Etoges. Mont
mlrall, besides minor fights, as for instance
LA Fers Champenoise. Of these the Prus.
slams alone engaged the French at Laon, Eto.
ges and Montmirail, in the first victoriously,
in the two latter they wore beaten In 1915
there were two battles, Ligncy and Waterloo,
and two engagements, at Quatrebras and
Wayrc, besides the smaller fights Of these
the Prussians fought alone at Ligney and
Wayrc, in the former they were beaten, tho
latter was undecided
"TnERE Is NO WAR AFTER DEATn."---
suoh was the magnanimous reply Of the
Prussan Ambassador to an invitation to at
tend the funeral of the French diplomatic
representative in Washington. Tho scnti-
ment was worthy of great soul, and we hon
or the man that uttered it. God grant that
the inspiration may strike home in some Of
tho hascr American hearts about Washington
which have delighted in pursuing the dead
and hcaping indignity on their graves. We
commend it especially to the savage head Of
the "Army of the Republic" and bid him
learn from this stranger Of foreign land now
engaged in deadly strife the sentiments and
customs of civilized age. Baron Gorot's
humanity can drop tear upon the grave Of
his country's enemy in the midst of war
Yet, five long years after its din has been
hushed in this profcssedly Christian land,
flower from the hand Of kindred and friends
is refused to the resting place Of the Confed-
crate dead Wo thank the Baron for his re-
buko, and commend the lesson to all.--Sa-

from G. w. Irving, Esq, giving sketch Of
his visit to NIarnio, small republic in Italy,
between tho Apprentices, the Po, and the
Adriatic The territory Of the State is only
forty miles in circumference, and it's popula-.
ton about 1000. The republic was founded
more than 1,400 years ago, on moral princi-
pies, industry and equality, and has preserved
its liberty and independence amid all She
wars and discords which have ragged around
it. Bonnparto respected 1t, and sent ali en-
bossy to express his sentiments of friendship
and fraternity. It is governed by captain
regent chosen every six months by the repre-
scntatives Of the people, (sixty in numbcr,)
who are chosen eycry six months by the peo-
pie. The taxes are light, tho farm houses are
neat, tho fields well cultivated, and on all sides
are seen comfort and plenty the happy effeot
of morality, simplicity and frugality.
