astrous to the latter, the defeated army re-
treated, follJ~ ed by the victors. A descrip-
ton of the march Of each army is given by
two correspondents of the London Times,
one Of whom Travelled with the successful
host, the other with the defeated. The
difference in views and statements Of the
nme place, scenes and events is remark
able. The former are said to be marching
through beautiful and luxuriant coun-
try during the day and at night encamp-
ing where they are supplied with an abun-
dance of the best provisions and all sorts of
rural dainties There is nothing of war
about the proceeding except its stimulus
and excitement. On the side OF the poor
Austrians it is just the reverse. In his
letter of tho same date, describing the
same places and a march over the same
road, the writer can scarcely find words to
set forth the suffering, impatience and
disgust existing around him. What was
pleasant to the former was intolerable TO
the latter. What made all this differenceG
asks the author. One condition only-tho
French are victorious, the Austrians have
been defeated"
So, my dear brother, the road You arc
travelling is the same you have been travel
ing long while, but the difference in your
physical conditions makes it look differ
ent, and therefore the two reports you
have given of yourself are as widely differ
ent as the reports in the London Times
