Parir, September 7. The s'vift steamer quit
in K lirist to-morrow gives me litne to write) up
my notea of iot s:me and exterior thinus, o
that tnej may re'ich you within a very tew lnyn.
You know," then, that I have psissv over the
"whole route of Itie Prussian Invasion, the Au
' trian ieireat, the AiiHtnan udvauee southward,
and by the well-known eoiiri"sy of tile Au9tmn
directory, have crofed into tlio 1 1 hps of Italy,
. and pressed m Inr as Florence. Th great dis
, tance co traversed In thenlioit period of twenty-
two rtajs jfavc me hardly time tor observation
and sleep, tlioucu I have written something to
you by every mail. My notes, however, were
lull and exuaustive, aiuft these are some of
them:
At the "Blue Slar Inn," of Praeue, I saw the
Borons Drenner and Wcrther at nn upper win
dow, arguing over the poaee. Tucy were both
keen-eyed old men, adroit of speech and shrewd
ot opportunities sueh, folks, tor example, its
Senators Fcssendcn and lleverdy Johnson and
at their councils, with a secretary for each near
by, they drank trnieh Rlicnuh win', a.id inade
it appear an altogether lnendly ci.iiab, as
diplomats have done from time Immemorial.
From frantic to Brnnn aud Olmutz, by Purdit
' foltz, by rail, 1 passed returuiuir trains witu
Prussian soldiers and, war material. And
though these stopped at ull stations, no soIiIicm
were Allowed to Oe.sccud, while we civiliuii3
could lie over w here we pleased. This rule was
one of the amenities of tucpencn just concluded,
and hud nj,uior wholesome design In it besides,
tor the Pn's-Him troops have been rajmoious
beyond all expectation, stealing w h rever tuoy
rested, so that to their acquisitiveness the
mutual forays of Federals and ContcUerates at
home were merely accepted hospitalities. If a
detective ollicer woio caned upon to elmsit'y tue
thefts of Prussia1 ami Austria, lie would denomi
nate the lirst a hiphwayniau, the last a confi
dence man. This part of the Austrian empire
is wildly civilized, by which I mean that man
is eavaee, and land is rclinedly, splendidly
educated. Put the squatters ot Oil creek in
tho bright MoliuMf Valley, or the Di;iL'er In
dians in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and you
have tho land aud peo'plj that 1 saw.
They use wretched larnnui: implements, they
are without public iulcll'uicLce, they arc super
stitious and stolid; but, the groat chequered
' landscapes climb into hiU horizons, ail grand
and rolling, eivtnir you aii air of boundlessness;
for tho country lias no lnrm-houses upon it, all
the people living in the. squatty stone towns,
and going, in many cases, nve miles of a morn
ing to worK. Fewieneea or neae.es divide tni
fields; each man knows his own land; rtierefure
the entire Moravian nnd German region has the
air of a battle-held under cultivation.
Brunn, the capital of Moravia, with 50,00!) in
habitants, has a history ot only subiugation and
trade, and would have-been unnolieenble in this
trip of mine, save for its vast hospitals of
wounded Austrinns, and the frowuhu batt'e
ments of the Spielberg prison, which dominate
the mountain at whose toot the city stands. I
; half forgot the story of Baron French, confined
in this same Spielberg, in the later and more
baneful light ot the unhappy Italians who beat
their brains out in its duugeous. In 184!), when
Ferdinand abdicated, ho released these poor
patriots, and they came forth, gibbering, and
skeletons, the way of thousands of their tribe.
By pleasant penalties like these has the Au-s-
trianiept his State together these several cen-
' turies.
Down in the city, where an evil-looking old
church, disused for worship, held the wounded,
I passed lrom bed to bed, not without tears ot
the cholera, raging there as fiercely as it raged
on your hospital hulks by Staten Island, and
among them I saw many a black-eyed, olive
Jiued, chubby-faced fellow, dying for his con
queror poor Venetians, pressed into this war,
Uring into the ranks of the Kaiser's enemies,
with the prayer that the bullet might soften to
paper on its way. Kapacious as Prussia may
have been, she lought her battles with bcr own
people, and though there are bitter cuises
, gained upon Count Bismart now, they are
curses ot pride, not . ot blood, of princes, not of
dying peasants, murdered by their own coun
trymen. . I stopped beside one haggard fellow's bed. lie
liud sullercd the amputation of a foot, and was,
besides, shot In the lleshy side of the throat.
To my demand in German, if lie were hopotul,
he shook his head.
"I don't understand, Signore," in Italiau.
'wnere are you from v in ins own language.
"From Recoaro. I hoped to be set with the
Jtorce of the Quadrilateral. Though I should
have been killed there, as here, it "would have
been dear to die to the familiar sound of one's
language. They tell me it has .gone bad w ith
Italy. Is it so V"
"Not so ! Well enough. Not bo well as she
hoped, but well !"
"You are speaking out of your heart, Signor,
not by jour Information. Poor Italy I Well 1
Somebody -will die against her some day, shot
"ubj blB own people, as I was not, and glad to
. know that the ball that struck him was tired by
the yictors."
He drew a Ion sigh, with "My God" in it,
and turned his back to me.
u There are titled women here frequently among
the hospitals, playing the part of Florence
Nightingale. Most of them arc amateurs, with
little persistence, and great consideration for
their own longevity, though now and then 1
believe that a heart-smitten countess or baron
ess doea come to do good. I try to believe it,
at any rate, for the fuitli of womankind. So
many of those poorsouls are coldly, sutleringly
married lor convenience so few live and die
ioving and beloved, that they are eladofthe
presence of wretchedness greater than theirs
into which they may plunge liclpiugiy. Of the
forty thousand dying soldiers in Moravia, not
ten per cent, care a button lor the cause they
weie killed in.
I visited, on consecutive days, two renowned
Ibattle-tields, Sadowa and Austerlitz. They
were equally commonplace when the struggles
to which they gave name occurred, but Au.-ter-
Ijtz, by reason of its great commemoration, is
now a tounsvs town ot 2fuii inhabitants, wane
Hudowa is a hamlet merely, utterl v denoDulatcd.
The cholera has killed two hundred ot the little
farmers, wood cutters, etc., in it and near by
since the battle day, tor among the putretyinir
carcases the old hyena whets his appetite, and
then picks up the living neighbors. (Sadowa
was a more sanaruinarv slaushter than Atister
litz; at least three hundred thousand men were
there opposed, aud possibly halt a million, as
the bulletins say. We all know how armies
are niagnined on uotti sides, till alter a detear,
and iu this war the military braggart
mis neen as eminently elastic as in our
own. The least truthful ot all contemporary
lilstorians is the soldier himself. Had he to
write our descriptions he might make his own
reputation, but would certainly ruin ours. At
Austerhtz, Bonaparte opposed seventy thousand
men to the allies' ninety thousand. Hudowa was
, fought in the margin ol July, and Austerlitz past
,the meridiau of Kovember. The former was tin-
(inost terrible butchery, the latter the most arttul
,embattling. Ou finds in the Sadowa buttle onlv
the Prussian Crown Prince's swift nnd
persevering march to applaud;, but Aus.
, terlitz was a niece of daring adroitness,
ifmiaht. aitrht. nuntivaA mira ' llui.lti
, -with a great and incensed canital to truant
behind, aud not as at Sadowa, the Italian army of
.Austria compeuea to mee the Fo, hut marching
vigorously, eiguty tuousana strong, upon the
Frenchman's rear, while Prussia, secretly
inimical 10 mm, was edging up through lio
hernia to loin the allies at the first note of
their success. The great luveigler, pleading
false desires for peace, first flushed the allies
till they were over certain, assisted them to
advance victoriously, till by their very success
lUey bad become outflanked, tnn drove them
Bell-mell upon his bavonets on the one hand.
and on the frozen lakes on tho other, where
4hey were drowned by acres when the Ice
rtrafihed tinder the French artillery. Both bat
Ilea -were .equally signal defeats for Austria.
TEE DAILY EVENING TELEG K A FIL PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1800.
Hadowa was a more piquant, miffry, because in
flicted on her in the Right ol Germany, and by
a lesser State.
My ride nvi r the field of Sa-fowa was enrcely
pleasurable, because the cholera had left there
only the collapsed and aged, and the pcusunts
hereabout have the reputation ot veritable
rhouls and giaours, whose atrocities to thednad
pass human belief. They have behaved worse
than any clap of savages would do m Americii,
cutting parses and jewelry from the wounded,
stripping the dead of garments, in a word,
revenging themselves upon history, which lias
done nothing lor them these three eenturle.
Sadowa itself is a European Culpoper; tor
example, a little stony faced town, with a bul
bously shaped church steeple in it, two beer
si ops, and the usual percentage of Austrian
civil officials.
An old woman in bla- k stockintrs stood alonn
in the open place of the hamlet, looking at the
hospital wagons that posed across the horizon.
Hhe did not know an thing, except that two of
Ila-nier Somebody's boys, near by, had gone oil
with the soldiers ii week ago to get back their
horses impressed after action. Had we seen
them? No? That was strangpl That was all
she knew about the fight. Everything in the
plare is more or less 6hot to pieces. The bat tle
field itself Is a sene9 ot hills, hulf corn-patch,
hall h rub timber, inclined to be mountainous,
and to some extent resembling the lands at tlv;
loot ot" tho Blue Ridge Cedar Mountain, for
example. At places on it tuere are vistas ol far
white plains, prairie-like, but ol the deadly
spots themselves nothing rnniiins save the un
even trenches, where the dead, dumped in as
they lay, remain to testily against the mon
strous enigma nl ambition, submission, and
ignorance in which they p' rlshed, at that f:ir
dim time when God shall make it plain why our
kind are thus cuuselessly and perperually
slaughtered.
At this qot the. two Prussian armies capped
the double lines of victory. Saehno', Podoli,
Miineheneralz, Gitschiu, on the one baud;
Nachod, Skalitz, Trautcuau on the other. It
would be absurd for me to wajte time in deserib
intr a ecrkc- of bare slope-stretches and curving
hills about which none of your readers have a
particle of curiosity. Suffice it to say, that all
the view of Sadowa is a repetition ot the Virginia
miseries of our own Rebellion; not any better
country, though it has the spruceness and tidy
nes of age ovir it nil; better cleaned up, better
contented, but inhabited by hewers of wood and
drawers of water, who forget that Christ ever
came, in the better recollection that they way
some day go hrnce to Him. The graves of the
dead arc marked with wooden crosses, with now
and fhen ajhclmct orn liatsetou the top of then'.
Here aud there is a splintered caisson or cannon
wheel, that some old witch is splitting up for
biewoort.
They call this a field of glory at Berlin, but ns
I lay awake last nitrht (at Brnuu) iu a triple
bedded room, talking with some Austrian
oflicers about it all, I could not make out other
wise than that, by all this murdering. Germanv
stands as she did, shifted about a trifle, but no
freer, no securer, no easier in conscience or ;
pocket. She is the same poor, pipe-drunken,
dreaming, thiilty, fattened, hopeful, heteroge
neous Germany that she has ever been In your
time nnd mine. Yesterday the Kaiser had her
b.y a silken cord; to-day the Prussian King has
her by a throttle. Such a well-deserving poor
prostitute of a genius no dog-star shines upon !
She lost two or three great chances for redress,
and freedom punishes nations aud races for
losing chances.
What a glorious burst of hope could all these
countries see in the return ol some euornous
convulsion like that of France, the revolution
betore Bonaparte mastered it, which, whatever
sycophant moralists and historians may have to
say, was the world's great opportunity. Then,
this "pipe-drunken Germany," as Cnrlyle would
call it, loved territory better than ireedom;
spent ignominious Tears of deserved defeat to
beat back French ideas, for which French ideas
to prevail to-day its people would give up every
inch, of the stealings of centuries Poland, the
Sclave provinces, and the statues of all their
big-looted prince-generals !
The city of Vienna, as usual, given to beer
and balls nnd covert licentiousness, has now its
intervals of grudging and 'disloyalty." Tho
people of the capital not of the country feel
agpneved, betrayed, ill-directed. It is no lair
sailing tor Francis Joseph and tho innumerable
archdukes aud duchesses. There are betore
their royal homo no captured cannon, as at Ber
lin, to please the schoolboys. They seldom go
abroad, but keep within doors to speculate upon
degenerate days, and ponder the most dilliculc
question of reconstruction, harder to them than
to us in tho States for here reconstruction is
the synonym of existence. Hungary, beaten in
ner valorous demands Dy the Czar's Cossacks,
looms up again an exacting power, saying:
'JN'ow this your Germany is cone, cive us our
due I" And in this bitter hour, home comes the
poor spendthrift wife of the poor nightmare
ridden Maximilian, saying, "My husband and I
are betrayed, wno snail save us with some
diow of honor?" Nevertheless, wUh the old
Austrian persu-tpnee, they are building up their
at my auin, impoverished thoueh 'they be.
When the Emperor took up the Prussian gaunt
let, he tell back upon "that God whom my
lathers have always served;" but his Chief of
Staff has alwavs been the Redeemer of both
himself and his lathers. Therefore the, Haiw-
burgers ran but take the sword again, and from
tue condition oi tneir empire, ns it seems to mo,
witu very nur snow oi perisuing oy it.
In Italy there is wounded vanity with a com
pensated boundary. Italy has recovered Vene
tiu, but gets with it 180,000,000 irancs of debt,
to meet in capital or interest.
Yet, with the madness of kings. Italv is more
concerned about the loss of her iron crown than
of her brave seldieis. I went all the way to
Brescia, a considerable detour, to see Garibaldi.
Since the partial disbundinent of his volunteers
he has returned thith.T, to breathe quieter air.
i loot'ea uoout an ay, noping to see nun, aud
at night obtained my introduction. I was glad
to have found him, of all places next to the
tented field, in this long-suttering city, theepito-
miation ot tue sorrows oi Italy, oiteu sacked,
m its time a, stubborn republic, and well ac
quainted with the stranger's rule, a city where
Kayard was wounded and showed his teuderest
courtesy; but to me, Garibaldi was more than
the Bayard ot our age the Bayard of a better
age to conic, wnen tne nearts nnd manners of
men will grow honest and simple with their
governments, and wars shall be done in the in
terest ol Ireedom, not of power !
It was iu Brescia that Arnold of Brescia was

ashes by command of the earliest enemy of
italv. mere are uoman ruins in the nlace. a
castle and moated walls around It, mountains
shining and purple near by.

aud the town below, imperectly lighted, grew
dark aud cool, save where the cafes trlitiered:
when the last tones ot the church, bells led Into
the soltcr vespers, and peoide began to show
themselves vaguely at doors and arehwuvs.
breathing the better air, 1 climbed the slope by
the ruined tempje oi vetpasiaii, and turning into
the grated pate ot a retired villa, saw at the end
of an aisio ot orange wees, in tue nan ngiit, a
cluster of people.
Though I had never met him before, I divined
Garibuldl in their midst, tne, least abused man
bv his photographers that I have ever seen
The pictures that we see of him all over the
world nre woudertuny lamitui, but it we asso
ciate with him the idea of roughness, heart!
ness, or w hat not, wo greatly err. There were
alreadv several callers or intruders, and he re
ceived us all with a pleasant, "I am glad to see
vou. Sit down." - '
He shows a trifle the illness of his Aspromonte
wound, walking with a cane; and his new sear
is also imiutn!. thouen to tuese ne made no
reference himself. Mis beautifully benevolent
forehead you know; the full, bluistjly brown
eye, sosolt Hud jet so beaming, beneath it. His
best character is shown la the nostril, that is
like the folded leaf of the sensitive plant, a
barometer of his emotions: but he is a silent as
well as a sensitive man, and while we are all
talking he smokes and listens, without a word.
with many a smile, this nostril softly elastic the
while, as if H were the hand ot his soul, ooeuine
to all appeals that should unseal it in love, or
jury, or wuiKuauon. ii; nair, oi neaitny grey,
Yes soft and round bi a ehild upon the temples, i
He wears the red shirt still, not in all'ectajtion, 1
but because It is theeasiest uniform of the soldier,
anil the cheapest, ftdmiMin of all excetienU
carelessness, like this of to-night, when he an
sit among his staff, crowing young again irt their
unabashed tind liuehing recitations. Close by
is Menotti Garibaldi, his son, a frank, niGdcst,
and handsome soldier, who is like his lather's
younger brother; for they speak together very
often, without reserve, yet with a tenderness
that you must be moved to see; with nothing of
the mutual fear and abashment of Clive and
Colonel Newcotne tor these people of Thacke
ray were after all types of the most domestic,
school in tue worid, Uio linglish, where the old
lire tyrants, and the young never fortret what
they ought to be. To these sons of his, Gari
baldi is the reverse of all history. He miirht
have left them tlukei; for no single man ever,
by his unauthorized valor, cave so much glory
nnd territory to a country, and Italy would have
made them noble and rich together. His stern
democratic notions forbade all this. i
They nre poor young men to-day, workimr in
time of peace to make a volcaui crock tortile,
and in war the most exposed of soldiers. Verita
ble Pantheists ol Italy they all seem to be, will
ing to crumble into her clay together so that
she shook them forth In the green leaf of free
dom. It may gladden thOBe only for whom
1 am writing this correspondence the lovers of
the purest forms of democracy, and of the
purest men in them to know that in this last
struggle of Italy, the volunteer ot Garibaldi
came out not less clotifled than betore.
The regular troops, the resulur navy, ' lost
laurels. The volunteers ot Garibaldi were the
armed chamois ol the peaks, and they ninde the
Atistrians in the passages and gorges dream of
perpetual alarm. Perhaps they could have
do; e little in the absence of regular reserves;
but after ihe Neapolitan campnitrn, I can
believe anything in their favor. The trophies
ot th; war aie theirs at any rate.
The Kinc?, beaten at Custozza, the navy
thumped and drowne I at Istia; on the moun
t litis above Gurda, only. Italy, under Garibaldi,
perpetually triumphant! It is gladdening to
know that' by the new treaty, this splendid lake,
throtieliout nil its lensth, is secured I to Italy.
During this campaign Garibaldi has been the
same meteor of action, nbiquitou ., always in
spiring, the Sheridan of the Alps. There is no
soldier of such sleeplessness in history, nor any
w ith so candid intelligence of the rightfulness
ot battle. Among the personages of Europe he
is the foremost spirit of democracy, a recognized
and sell-suppressed power, without a meanness
of a narrow ambition, modelled upon such past
ereat names as Francesco Ferrucl nnd William
Tell, and, above all, the American hero ot Italy,
who gathered on the wild tree pampas concep
tions of popular government and indifference
to courts and kinus.
Sitting thus, under the heavy globes of the
orange 'trees, with the delicate branches of
olives half hiding old busts and torsos of marble,
at whose pedestals the knotted grape stems
shrank and coiled, I thought I could look far
into the luture, nud see the millions of people,
when you and I are dead, striving to realize a
scene like this in Garibaldi's life. Then his
quiet fitrure, draped in white smoke, "cocked"
back American fashion, took new surroundings
to nie tho perpetual champion of crushed
sights, riding the wild horses against the despots,
swinging his cutlass on burning decks in far
foreign seas, lying anong the Blimy rats in un
forgiving prisons, returning like a dead face to
rekindle his native country,' manning the guns
of Rome, nwakening the grape-drunken hills
with his torches, expelling the last spectres of
the Bourbons, the cold Alps looking down
beuitrnantly, and at last a quiet farmer in the
sea, but shining there a lighthouse and life-boat
of help! I know ol no American, living or
dead, at whose feet 1 could more proudly sit,
and to me he is America's great ally in Europe,
one Hermit Peter, preaching the Western
crusade!
He wns glad to hear of Staten Island, of his
Italian friends there, the colonists of "Boss"
Mewcci; and of all the places round he had a
lively remembrance, giving the names in the
droli Anglo-Italian pronunciation. I left him
with his eyes shut, musing, glad not to have
said "good-bye;" for I fear that Garibaldi must
soon say pood-bye to us all, as he is old and
worn, though I know that he is not weary.
