of that nation in relation to tho allowance due

Tho battle commenced at a littlo beforo fire
o'clock in the morning not for Iroin sunrise.
Just back of ('astigliono rises a high range of
bills whioh projaots a inila or thereabouts into
the plain and then breaks m towards tlio lolt
into a wido expanse of smallor hills and so into
the rolling surface which makes that portion 'of
tne plain. I he Austriuns had taken position
upon thoso hills planting cannon upon thoso
nearest to Castigliono which they could approach
as the French army was in full force in and
around that little village nnd had stationed their
immonso array all over the surrounding plain.
As nearly as we can now learn tho Emperor
Francis Joseph had collocted here not less than
225000 troops and commanded them in person.
His evident purpose- was to make a stand hero
and risk the fortunes of the war upon the haz
ard of tho day. Napoleon promptly accepted

To J. B. Noxks Esq. New York.
Mr. Everktt in a letter addressed to our Min-
ister at Berlin under date of 14th Janury 1853
in reforence to several cases which had been pre-
sented by that Minister wrote as follows :
"If then a Prussian subject born and living
undor this state of law chooses to emigrate to a
foreign country without obtaining tho certificate
whicn nlono can discharge him Irom the obliga
tion of military services he takes that step at
bis oven risk. He elects to go abroad undor the
burden of a duty which ho owes to his Govern-
ment. Ilia departure is of the nature of nn cs-
capo from her laws ; and if at nny subsequent
period he is indiscrcot enough to return to his
native country be cannot complain if those laws
aro executed to his disadvantage His case ro-
Bcmbles that of a soldier or sailor enlisted by
conscription or. other compukoty process in the
nrmy or navy. If he should desert the service
of his country and thereby rondor himself amen-
hViIa fn millfftev iftw. nn nnd wnnld flxneot that
he could return to bis native land and bid defi-
ance to its laws because in tho mean Utile he
might havo become a naturalized citizen of a for-
eign State. .
"For theso reasons) and without entering into
the djseu.siou'of tho question of tiorpctual nlle-
tho President is of opinioh that if a
Hiihinr.t nf Prussia lvinor undcriv lezal oblieatiod
in that rnnntrv to rorform a certain amount of
military duty leaves his native land and with
out performing tnat amy or oumiuing mo i
scribed "certificate of emigration" comes to the
United States and is haturalized and aftorwards
for Bny purposes whatever goes back to Prussia
it is not competent for tho United States to pro-
tect biin from the operation of tho Prussian law.
The case' may be one of great hardship especial-
ly if tho omission to procure the certificate arose
from inadvertence or ignorance ; but this fact
though a just ground for sympathy does not al-
ter tho case as one of international law."
A TmnrTTB TO PRESIDENT PofcKi In 1)18 late
speeoh at Chapel Hill. North Carolina Presi-
dent Buchanan who was Secretary of State un-
der President Polk paid the followibg tribute to
that lamented statesman. He said :
"You refer to mournful events. Iou speak of

his intense love for his alma mater. Ho was a
good man a great man an honest man. No
man ever performed the duties of his office mote
iSjnsoientiously than James K. Polk. Justice

capable person and placed oeiore me puouo.
We know that Mr. Polk wag exceedingly anx-
ious that this should be done in order that the
public might more fully understand soma impor-
tant facte connected with his Administration
which at present are rather shrouded in mystery.

those held by tho Austriuns and opening fire up-
on them nn the heights beyond. He took bis
own stand upon the highest of thoso a Bleep
sharp-hacked ridge which commands a magnifi-
cent view of the entiro circuit of the plain and
from that point directed the entire movements of
his army during the early portion of tho day.
The French very soon drove the onomy out of
the posts they held nearest to tho town nnd fol-
lowed tiiord into the small villages of tho plain
below. The first of these was Solforino whero
they had a sharp and protracted engagement.
Tho Austriuns disputed every inch of the ground
and fought here as they did throughout the
day with tho utmost desperation. 'Ihcy were
three times drivon out of the town bol'oro they
would stay out. The people of tho village
moreover took part against tho French upon
whom they fired from their windows and tho
French woro compelled in self-defence to burn
tho town. Whon they found it impossible to
hold their ground any longer they fell back
slowly and steadily until thoy reached tho vil-
lage of Volta which as you will see by the
man lies directly southeast from Castiglione
and ib only about a milo irom tne river juincio
from which; however''itb sci-err-tcd by a range
hills. Upon these hills in the rear of the town
and overlooking it complotoly on tho south and
southeast sides the Austriuns had planted very
formidable batteries ; and when I arrived upon
tho field and went at onco to the height whero
tho Emperor bad stood at the opening of tlio en
gagement hut which ho hud Mt nn hour before
to lol'ow his victorious troops these naitories
were blnzing nway upon tho French who were
stationed on the plain below. 1 was too far off
to observe with any accuracy tho successive steps
of tho action but 1 could distinctly nee the
troops stationed upon tho broad plain nnd mov-
ing up in maBBCB toward-) the front whore tho
artillery was posted as their services wcro re-
quired. But as soon ns they rcacbod this point they
woro speedily enveloped in tho smoko of tho can-
non nnd disappeared from observation. But the
general result was soon made evident by the
Blackening of the Austrian fire aud by tho fall-
ing back of their smoke nnd a corresponding
advance on tho part of that which rose from tho
Frencii artillery '1'he cannonading at that point
lasted for over an hour ; but in precisely what
direction the Austrians rotrcated it was not
Fossiblo from tho position I occupied to see.
was afraid to change it moreover because al-
rhntioh T miirht eunilv have irnnn more directly
and closely upon the field I could not have found
any ominenco upon the plain from which I could
havo had so sweeping and complete a view. Part
of the Austrian force probably crossed the Min-
cio river whicli flows southward from the lower
end of LaKe Gatdn and empties intd tho Po.
But the bdttlo continued to rage all over the
region northwest of a line connecting the towns
of Castiglione Solferlno and Volta. At one
rioint after another a sharp Cannonading would
arise and continue for half or three-quarters of
an hour and after each successive engagement
of this kind the result became apparent in the
retreat of tho Austrians and the advance of the
French forces. Durine nil the early part Of the
. . v ... - - . . .
day the sky had been clear and tne weatner not.
But. clouds began to gather at about noon and at
5 o'clock while the cannonade was at its height
a tretuondous thunderstorm rolled from the
northwest ; the wind come first sweeping from
the parched streets an enormous cl tud of dust
and was soon followed by a heavy fall of rain
accompanied by vivid lightning and rapid explo-
sions of rattline thunder. The storm lasted for
about an hour and the cannonading so far as
we could distinguish was suspected. Then the
rain ceased tho clouds blow away the sun shone
out again and the air waB cooled and pertecuy
delightful. Though the cannon may have ceased
for a time to take part in it tne ngni nao mean
time gone on nnd when I again resumed my
post of observation from which the storm had
exneiled me. the cannonading commence d quite
on the extreme loft of the entire field and on the
borders of the lake northest from Castiglione
and west of Peschiera.
Tho Piedmontese troons. under the Kinc. who
commands them in person had boon posted there
and received tne Austrians as they came arounu.
From about 7 o'clock until after nightfall an in-
cessant and most terrftle combat was here kept
up The battiTies of the two armies were appa-
rently about half mile apart and at the outset
they were both sen-ed with equal and effective
rieor But tho AustTiana gradually slackened
their fire and several times took up new posi-
tions while the Sardinians poured a rapid and
uninterrupted shower of M "l- them aus-

then tenewing it again with redoubled fury.-

P-
nued successes of Mr. Van liuren which fur
thirty years; wero never oneo interrupted und
therefore styled him tho "littlo magician" ai
having accomplished results by magio or some
other occult means beyond the scope of normal
and ordinary intelligence. But theso successes
of tho Now York statesman aro simple enough
thoy wcro necessary reaults of a profound respect
for tho intelligence"of the people aud (calculated
though it may havo been) perfectly faithful ad-
herence to principle. Tho reasons too while tho
vulirar throne of ordinary politicians are almost
always in the rear of publio opinion us well us
skeptical in regard to the virtue ana intelligence
of the masses are quite obvious. They aro very
often without prmoiple ana looking to the suc-
cess of persons or "party" rather than the
triumph of principles they judge tho pooplo by
tlioir own mercenary standard while iu point of
fact the former nre actuated "by sentiments of
honor and patriotism. Tlio masses it is true are
sometimes and for a brief period deceived by in-
dividuals but raroly if ever in regard to meas-
ures. Indeed from thoolcction of Mr. Jefferson
in 1800 to that of Mr. Buchanan in 1850 the
majority have never gone wrong for oven in
the canvass of 1840 thoro was no mistake or false
judgment given in regard to publio measures as
the public questions or the day were cautiously
kept in tho back ground and the poople excited
into a wild revel without the slightest appeal to j
their roason. This being so the masses perfect-
ly competent to solf-governmcnt nnd tho majori-
ty always certain to vote right on all measures .
affecting the publio welfare it is evident that in-
dividual statesmen as well as political parties
will beet advanco their interests by open frank
and perfectly fair dealing with the people under
all ciroumstuncca. But has this been the course
or is it now tho course of that class of politicians
who are striving to got possession of the Charles-
ton Convention and thus to dictate the pro
gramme of the great contest of 18G0 ?
Let us sco. In 1856 the question forced on the
country by the "anti-slavery" party of theNorth
was the exclusion of "slavery " from tho Federal
Territories. They said "slavery" that is negro
subordination to white men was wrong and nn
evil add therefore should be excluded from tho
Federl jurisdiction. On the contrary the people
of the South said thut it was a right and indeed
a necessity of their social condition as well as
material to their progress that "slavery" should
exist within the Federal jurisdiction and that
the property interest involved should have the
same protection that was accorded to other pro-
perty. Here was an issue broad enougii and
deep enough certainly to be mistaken by no one
an issue that reaches down to the very founda-
tion of the national existence an issue moreover.
that bv no clan-trap or charlatanry can be push
ed aside or got rid of and an issue finally that
must be decided against the "anti-slavery" party
of the North or there must be disunion and dis-
membrement of the Federation. The campaign
opened by the nomination or Fremont and to
gether with innumerable stump speakers about
three-tourtris oi me nonuern press wereengagea
in efforts to convince the people that "slavery"
was an evil nud therefore should be excluded from
the Territories nnd with this one-sided view for.
except theJNcw York Day Book yhA. a single jour
nal or stump speaker contested the Republican
position a majority of the northern voters voted
for Fremont and thus to exclude whit. ij heM

rican waters or torritory has been authorized
though application has been made and by tho
highest branch of Congress favorably fenortod
and passed upon for a rcconnoissaitce of the Ni-
i ger. Our naval force is notoriously inefficient
because of its being always composed of sailing

A II African commodities are charged with duty
though they are mostly "ritw materials" ond
ure used in several branches of home industry
and manufacture.
About a month since tho Eusabia N. Roye a
brig of some two hundred tons arrived at New
York" carrying Liberian papers and flag nnd la-
den with a cargo of African produce drafts
&e. worth $30000. Her owner Mr Royo an
enterprising citizen of Liberia and for several
years a successful merchant of Monrovia was
compelled in New York to pay not only tho reg-
ulur custom-house cbargo on the articles which
his vessel brought but nn nssecsment of Tour-
tenths of oue per cent upon tho value of the car-
fa and a tonnage duty of eighty cents per ton.
'he inequality of this will bo perceived when
we remark that the rule of the United States is
to charge another country with which it has no
treaty to the contrary the 6ame dues that that
country charges it. In this instance there eould
havo been no chargo ns American vessels are ad-
mitted free by the Liberians; and had the same
articles reached our Bhores in French German
or Spanish bottoms no dues could or would have
