Important News from Europe.
The news by the steamship City of Wash
ington, on Saturday, is of great importance,
as announcing the first important blow in It
aly. The Allied and Austrian forces have
met, and the latter been defeated.
The battle between the Austrians and the
Allies took place at Montebello, a town of
Austrian Italy. The Austrians were 15,-
000 strong, and made the attack. After a
severe engagement they were obliged to re
treat. The Allied army lost 700, while the
Austrians' loss is estimated at 2,000. A
number of Austrians had been captured and
taken prisoneis to Marseilles.
The battle of Mentebello took place on the
21st of May.
The Austrians, who were commanded by
General Stadion, attacked the posts of Mar
shal Barraguay Millers. They were driv
en back by General Forris' division, after a fu
rious combat, which lasted four hours.
The Allies carried Montebello, but did not
pursue the Austrians.
Two hundred of the Austrians, including
a Colonel, were captured and taken to Mar
seilles.
The Austrians were fifteen thousanatrong.
They lost 2,000 men. •
The Allies lost 700, among whom were
many officers.
The Austrians' account of tAe battle differs
widely from the above.
The actual force of the French is not sta
ted. It is reported, however, that it num
bered 6,000 men, beside a regiment of Sar
dinian cavalry.
A bulletin issued by the Sardinian Govern
ment announces that the extreme left of the
Sardinian army, under General Baldini, had
forced a passage over the river Sesia, putting
the Austrians to flight.
General Garibaldi had entered Gaveu (?)
with 6,000 men for revolutionary purposes.

That's so, Bro. Trough. Dismissed through
the influence of Brawley, Plumer, Porter,
Judge Black and Buchanan, because we
would not yield to their dictation and oppose
the sale of the Main Line of the public works.
Yes, sir, dismissed because we would not shut
our eyes to the fact that the tax-payers of the
State, were yearly plundered to the amount
of thousands of dollars, to fatten a set of cor
rupt politicians. Yes sir, dismissed because
we could not be used by the corrupt men who
are now the leaders of the Buchanan faction.
It is about as well that we were dismissed
then, as it is very certain we would hare been
dismissed since, for refusing to desert Demo
cratic principles, and be led by the nose any
direction your masters may see fit to lead
you. how humiliating the position of a while
man when compelled to follow leaders right
or wrong.
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.—The Democracy
have succeeded in carrying the State. Letch
er, for Governor, has a majority of from three
to•five thousand—some four or five thousand
less than Gov. Wise had four years ago.—
Eleven of the thirteen members of Congress,
elected, are Democrats. To carry the State
the Democratic candidates were compelled to
repudiate the Buchanan Democracy.
FAMILY DISCIPLINE.-A great aim in fam
ily discipline should be to provide for each
of the juveniles some line of pursuit which
will give them a sense of their usefulness
and necessity to the household. This feel
ing, properly instilled into their minds, will
make them members of society valuable to
others, and happy in themselves. The Crea
tor, who makes nothing in vain, does not in
vain send human beings into the world, if
only they would find their places and fill
them. Idle men and women are the bane of
any community. They are not simply clogs
upon society, but become, sooner or later, the
causes of its crime and poverty, its folly and
extravagance. In plain old English, every
family motto should read :—" Be somebody ;
do something; bear your own load."—Phila
delphia American.
" Tim GREAT UNITED STATES."—The cen
sus of the United States sbows that we have
two millions and a half of farmers, one hun
dred thousand merchants, sixty-four thous
and masons, and nearly two hundred thous
and carpenters. We have fourteen thousand
bakers to make our bread ; twenty-four thous
and lawyers to set us by the ears; forty
thousand doctors to " kill or cure," and fif
teen hundred editors to keep this motley
mass in order, by the power of public opin
ion controlled and manufactured through the

CORRESPONDENCE OP THE GLOBE.
Policy of the Administration.
Probably, no occupant of the presidential
chair ever assumed the executive power under
auspices so favorable as those which at
tended the inauguration of James Buchanan.
Partisanship was, comparatively, silenced,
many of his most able opponents among the
representatives of the press congratulated
themselves that no worse a man was elected,
and manifested a desire to giie him a fair
trial and to avoid invidious attack and unne
cessary criticism.
Never, since the days of Jackson, did the
Democratic party occupy a prouder or more
secure position, and an honest consistency on
the part of the administration was alone re
quired to secure the permanent pre-eminence
of democratic principles. Every circum
stance was propitious to this issue. The
President himself was possessed of reputa
tion, abilities and experience equal to, if not
beyond, those of any possible aspirant to the
office. His antecedents were of the most fa
vorable character, he had discharged the du
ties of high official positions with credit to
himself and advantage t) his country, and,
in his election to the presidency, had achieved
the izeplus ultra of human ambition. Appa
rently, nothing further, of a personal char
acter, remained for him to accomplish, except,
to wield the power which the people had con
ferred upon him in such a manner as to se
cure the applanse of the present, and the
gratitude of future generations. Never did
man, in any age or country, possess a better
opportunity of acquiring profound and uni
versal respect and honor whilst living and
posthumous fame in all succeeding time.
His inaugural confirmed the expectations
of his ardent admirers, and failed not to ex
tract tones of commendation from antago
nists ; its manly expositions and fervid pa
triotism appeared to augur a, glorious and
honorable career for the then coming adminis
tration. But these sanguine and confident an
ticipations were doomed to meet with unmer
ited disappointment. The president speedily
evinced his intention of becoming the actual
ruler and governor of the nation, as well as
the executive of the laws enacted by the rep
resentatives of the people. He was no longer
a "platform" nor the embodiment or vehicle
of any set of principles. His own will has
been his only guide, and, supreme in his cab
inet, he has issued his ukases with an au
thority as despotic as that of any European
autocrat. Nor has his attention been confined
to matters purely of a national character, but
he has pertinaciously interfered with the poli
cy of individual States, and has enforced - his
dicta with all the patronage, pressure and in
fluence which the position of President ena
bled him to wield.
One of his earliest efforts to coerce the ac
tion of State legislation was levelled at Penn
sylvania, in his opposition to the sale of the
public works, a question which the people of
the State alone were competent to decide.—
But it is sufficiently notorious that the reten
tion of the property, by the State, was insis
ted upon by the President, and that patron
age was withdrawn from and refused to all
who did not respect the executive decree.—
His action with regard to the admission of
Kansas has been so thoroughly dissected and
exposed, that comment or animadversion at
this time, would be almost superfluous.
The "ratting" of Tyler and the delinquen
cies of minor renegades were but typical of
the shameless Giaourism of James Buchanan.
lie has sedulously pursued a course utter
ly contrary to the principles of the platform
upon which he stood when elected, and has
erected a Shibboleth of his own to which he
demands an allegiance, due only to the ge
nius of true democracy. Time servers, of
fice-holders and o - fEce-hunters may offer their
incense and oblations, but no true democrat
will bow down to the image which Buchanan
"the King" bath set up.
It has been said that Webster character
ised Buchanan as a " great politician but no
statesman," and it is not improbable that, in
the desire to play "the great politician" the
cue to the president's erratic policy may he
discovered. Ms endeavors have all tended
to one end, namely, to the consolidation of
an administrative party, under the name of
Democracy, which should own him as its
chief and head, and possibly perpetuate his
misrule for another presidential term.—
Schooled in all the Machiavelism of diploma
cy, he has trackled and flattened the South,
and, by bribery and intimidation, has en
deavored to hold the North in bondage to
his behests. In firmness of purpose he has
strained himself into a vain imitation of Jack
son, but has signally failed in his attempts to
support the character, and has been fain to
doff the lion's hide on more than one occa
sion.
In his efforts to attain to a party dictator
ship, he has expended the national revenues
with a reckless extravagance, and has de
manded powers so much at variance with the
spirit of the constitution, that many of his
servile supporters have feared to follow him
in his iniquitous career. His administration
has been the most disastrous and undignified,
and will ever be remembered with regret by
the party to which he belonged, and by the
people at large. He found the democracy
united throughout the Union, as one man ;
knowing no geographical distinctions ; but
he has succeeded in sowing the most bitter
dissensions in its ranks, and by his trackling
policy, has emboldened Southern agitators to
make demands, and to adopt a course of ac
tion inimical to Northern sentiment, events
which Would never have occurred if the ad
ministration had been either firm or reputa
ble, honest or consistent. He succeeded to a
treasury well replenished, and a revenue
equal to the expenditure, and has now to re
sort to loans to carry on the ordinary expenses
of a republican government at peace with
the whole world. Under his rule, our do
mestic affairs have been embroiled, and our
high status as' a. power among nations, has
been compromised. Happily, however, for
the national honor and the national interests,
the reign of " King James" is rapidly draw
ing to a close, eighteen months hence his
domination will receive its quietus, and Bu
chanan will relapse into the obscurity which
clings to Tyler and all used-up renegades.
It is undoubtedly matter for regret that a
man of talent should thus have prostituted
his abilities. Posthumous fame may perhaps
be a. mere ignis fatuus, nevertheless, the
prospect of an honorable place in the history
of one's country, is assuredly more consola
tory to a man's feelings than the certainty
of--
"Going down t- the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung!'
In the meantime, there is ample space for
an effective effort, on the part of all true dem
ocrats, to recover the party from the disor
ganizing influences under which it labors.—
Democracy still stands in the same position
which it occupied in 1856, viz :—Ou the Citt-
cinnati platform. That platform was sus
tained by the people, and will again be sus
tained when its principles are represented by
a candidate worthy of popular confidence.—
The re-organization of an uncorrupted Demo
cratic party has commenced, a bold, indepen
dent and uncompromising position has been
taken, and all that is required to ensure suc
cess, is unswerving consistency, alertness and
indomitable perseverance. The decadence
of Buchanan is inaugurated—its downward
course will be precipitate, and, ere the con
test of '6O, its frame will have become so
weak and attenuated, that its expiring groans
scarcely be heard amid the clamor of
rival factions. PUBLICOLA.
SirEsviLLE, PA., May, 1859.
The War and Breadstuffs.
The Economist, alluding to the rapid rise
in the price of breadstuffs, owing to the war,
speculates as follows upon the probable de
mand upon this country for a supply :
Among 80,000,000 of people, the talking
of 600,000 men, that is one out of 130, more
or less, from ordinary occupations, will have
but little influence upon production, and no
more upon consumption than will be caused
by waste. What they actually; eat as soldiers
is less than what they get at home. A large
portion of these are . idlers from the cities,
and in Europe the labor of agriculture, thanks
to the long wars of former ages, is customa
rily performed by females. No conscript is
taken where his labor is necessary to his
family. The mere movement of the men is
of no commercial importance. Where their
operations extend over a large agricultural
surface, they, however, destroy and prevent
agriculture, and in so far, cause a demand
from other quarters. If this is confined to
Northern Italy, while all the ordinary sources
of supply are undisturbed, the commercial
effect of the war will hardly be felt. There
never was a more propitious moment for war,
than nose, since crops of all sorts in Europe
are very abundant, capital and money abun
dant and cheap, and enterprise not recovered
from the panic of 1858. This is a very dif
ferent state of affairs from what existed
when the Russian war took place. There
was then a failure of everything in Western
Europe. Wheat, in England, had touched
101 s. In France, the vines, silk-worms, food,
and other crops, were all short, and money
was very dear. Under these circumstances
the exports of produce from the United States
would have been quite as large had there
been no war at all. That event did not add
to the demand in any degree. Its influence
was felt only in the manufacturing towns
of England, in a scarcity of labor, whence
a large portion of the new troops were
drawn. The armament of the war, how,
ever, caused a great decline in government
funds, under anticipation of large loans.
The migration of men and capital to the
United States during the Crimean war and
sales of produce to Europe were certainly
large, but those circumstances were not due
to the war—they were the result of short
crops in Europe, which drove forth great
numbers, and called for large imports to sus
tain those who remained. Those circum
stances are not now to operate at least.for a
year to come. If in that time the war should
become general, involving strife between
England and France, their fleets would-dis
turb the ocean, instead of keeping it open,
and England would be thrown upon the Uni
ted States for thoSe large supplies she now
draws from France.
Terrible Tornado in Illinois
The St. Louis Republican gives some facts
in relation to the recent terrible tornado at
Jacksonville, 111. As far as heard from, it
began at Calhoun county, carrying every
thing, men, houses, barns, fences, trees and
cattle with it, from Manchester to a distance
of twelve miles, directly northeast. We can
count thirty-six dwelling-houses, with all the
barns and out-houses destroyed. The num
ber of killed, as far as heard from, are Mrs.
Route, a son of George Van Ganes, Samuel
Brown, a Portuguese in the employ of Mr.
Route, Jonathan Carlisle, Jacob Sample and
wife, and a Mr. Thomas. There are about
fifty seriously, if not mortally wounded.—
Most of them, it is feared, must die.
To give an idea of the force of the storm, I
have in my possession a stone weighing three
pounds that was lifted up and carried sixty
feet, passing through a window four feet from
the floor. The floor and partition of a school
room, twenty by thirty feet, was carried away,
with heavy timber, and all cannot be found
withing two miles of the place. A wind mill
was carried over four hundred yards, with
pipes, pumps, &c., the small end foremost.—
There is not ten feet square within the route
of the storm that has not rails, boards, &c.,
stuck in the ground, so that no one can easi
ly pull them out. Whole partitions of houses
are gone and cannot be found. A man riding
in a field was blown from his horse, the sad
dle torn off and carried about two miles from
the place.
No one can form an idea of the terrible ef
fects of this storm, which lasted but five min
utes, with but little rain. Tho cloud was
very bright, while on either side it was so
dark as not to be able to distinguish objects.
The Illinois Tornado
[Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican.]
JACKSONVILLE, ILL., May 28.—We regret
to say that the disaster which we mentioned
to you yesterday, as having happened to ma
ny of the residents of this county, is even
worse than we then believed it to be. We
have not yet received full particulars concern
ing the amount of damage done by the storm,
but enough to know that it was the most ter
rible one that ever was known in this part of
the country. In addition to theSe we men
tioned yesterday as having been killed, we
have learned of two more, viz :.the mother of
Mr. Carlyle (who was killed,) and the wife
of Jacob Sample. Several persons who were
injured are not expected to live. In all we
have learned of ten or eleven having been
killed. We can give you no better idea of
the severity of the storm, than by stating a
very few of the many terrible things that
happened.
On Mr. Joseph Fry's place, everything—
houses, barn, furniture, were torn into shreds,
the fences scattered for miles, fifteen horses
were killed, (besides the human beings we
mentioned yesterday;) seventy hogs, several
head of cattle, and all his fowls; even the rats
about the premises did not escape. The wag
ons were blown to pieces, spokes knocked out
of the Wheels, and even the tires bent. This
is but one case in many. Several others suf
fered in the same way.
The house of Wm. McDonald, south of this
place, was torn into atoms, not ten feet square
of the house or barn remaining ; and, singu
lar to say, himself wife and children escaped
with their lives, though they were badly bruis
ed, yet not dangerously. At the place of
Mr. Barrows, of which we spoke yesterday,
in addition to the destruction to life and prop
erty, he lost one hundred and ten hogs out of
one hundred and fifty.
A horse was found in the neighborhood,
dead, with a rail run through him lengthwise,
so that both ends were visible. Another
horse was found dead, with a bridle and sad
dle on, but the rider or owner has not yet
been found ; it is feared that he has been de
stroyed.
All this may appear to your readers to be
a mere fabrication. Would it were so o t—
But of the truth of it there can be no doubt.
Many of the citizens of this place visited the
scene yesterday for the purpose of helping
the sufferers, and from all of those who re
turned we learn the same dreadful news.
The citizens of this place held a meeting
yesterday, for the purpose of taking measures
to relieVe the sufferers. Committees were ap
pointed, who.at once proceeded to raise mon
ey, workmen, &c., to help repair the damage
as much as possible. This morning many
wagons, loaded with citizens of this place,
started to assist in putting up fences, and to
do whatever they could. It is credit to Jack
sonville -that her people have shovrn them
selves willing to respond to the call of distress.
How many houses were destroyed or how
much damage was really done, has not yet
been definitely ascertained. Every tenement
within six or eight miles was swept away.
We hope to learn more hereafter concerning
the particulars.
Pennsylvania Crops
YORK COUNTY.—The Gazette says: "With
in the past few days we have conversed with
a number of our farmers from different sec
tions of the county, and we learn that the
prospects of an abundant harvest in this lo
cality were never more promising than at the
present time. The wheat, rye, and oats are
in excellent condition, and the corn is grow
ing finely."
BL AIR COUNTY.—From every section of the
county we have the most flattering intelli
gence in regard to the promising appearance
of the crops. A gentleman from the south
ern part of the county, upon whose word we
place the utmost dependence, told us the oth
er day that the wheat crop has not looked as
well for ten years past as it does this season,
and he says all kinds of grain give promise of
an abundant yield.—Hollidaysburg Register.
DAUPHIN COUNTY.—We are glad to be.tr
that the promise of the crops this season is
most encouraging. The fruit, with some ex
ceptions, bids fair to be plenteous. Straw
berries, the finest and most delightful of luxu
ries, are abundant and early. In everything
there is the indication of plenty.—Harrisburg
Telegraph.
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.—ACCODDO from all
quarters continue to be of the most cheering
character for an abundant harvest. The pros
pects for a good fruit crop also continue flat
tering.— Carlisle Democrat.
ALLEGHENY COUNTY.—The prospects of a
good harvest in this county probably was
never more flattering. The fruit trees of all
kinds seem to be fairly loaded down with
fruit, especially peaches and apples. All
other kinds are in the best state of forward
ness, and promise plentifully.
The Ohio Democracy
The Democracy of Ohio, in their late State
Convention, unanimously laid down a plat
form upon which the Democratic party can
triumph in 1860, if the Administration will
permit it so to do. We copy the two most
important resolutions:
"1. Resolved, That the organized Territo
ries of the United States, athough not en
dowed with all the attributes of sovereignty,
are only held in the territorial condition un
til they attain a sufficient number of inhabi
tants to authorize their admission into the
United States ; and, therefore, are justly en
titled to the right of self-government, and
the undisturbed regulation of their domestic
or local affairs, subject to the Constitution of
the United States • and that any attempt by
Congress, or any of the States, to establish or
maintain, prohibit or abolish, the relation of
master and slave in a Territory, would be a
departure from the original doctrine of our
American institutions ; and that we adhere
immovably to the principle of 'Non interven
tion by congress with slavery in the States
and Territories,' as declared in the Kansas-
Nebraska bill, and openly disclaim fellow
ship with those, whether at the South, or the
North, or the West, who counsel the aban
donment, limitation, or avoidance of that
principle.
"2. Resolved, That the suppression of the
African and foreign slave trade by the Fede
ral Government, after the year eighteen hun
dred and seven, is one of the compromises
on the faith of which the Constitution was
adopted, and our Union of slaveholding and
non-slaveholding States firmly established ;
that a revival of that trade would not only
renew those cruelties which once provoked
the indignation of the civilized world, but
would expose the slaveholding States to a
constant terror of servile insurrection, and
the non-slaveholding States of the border,
like Ohio, to all the mischiefs and annoyan
ces of a free black population. .For these
reasons, with others, the Democracy of Ohio
are opposed to any such revival, and to any
measure tending in that direction."
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—The Dallas
(Texas) Herald, of 11th of May, says :—" A
gentleman, just from Fort Worth, reports a
most painful calamity that occurred last
Thursday evening, near night, on the west
fork of the Trinity, about seven miles above
Fort Worth. A gentleman, living very near
West Fork, on returning home, during the
heavy rain that was falling, found his house
was being rapidly surrounded With the flood
that was rushing down the low lands border
ing on the stream. He had a wife and seven
children—took two of them on his shoulders
and carried them over the water to a shed on
the premises, placed them upon it, and star
ted back for the other children and his wife.
He had not gone far when a cry from the
shed drew his attentien ; he looked back, and
discovered it floating off with his two chil
dren on it. He rushed after it, and, after
following it nearly half a mile, succeeded in
placing his children .upon a place of safety.
Night was rapidly coming on, and he returned
to save his wife and children, but alas I be
found not even a vestage of his home—no
sign of wife or child ; and, to add to the
horrors of the scene, darkness was fast set
tling down upon the rushing flood, whose ap
palling roar deafened the cries of his family,
even if they then lived. The unhappy father
has heard nothing from them yet, and every
effort made to find their bodies, has proved
unavailing. The rise of the water is rep
resented as being unparalleled in the history
of the country, for the suddenness and vol
ume.

'What are Consols ?
Our readers are well aware that a rise or
fall in " Consols" is noted as the most impor
tant sign of the condition of commercial af
fairs in England. But few know what " Con
sols" are. From a very lengthy explanation
relative to " Consols" on the consolidated
debt of Great Britain, we glean some inter
esting information.
The national debt of England began in the
time of Charles I, with the relinquishment of
the old custom of extorting from the people
and substituting borrowing therefore to meet
public exigencies. This has been increased
from that time to the present in all times of
exigency. In periods of peace, and when
the rate of interest has been low, the Gov
ernment has redeemed small portions of the
debt, or it has lowered the annual charge by
reducing, with the consent of the holders,
the rate of interest.
The debt then consists of several species
of loans or funds, with different denomina
tions, which have been, in process of time,
variously mixed and mingled, such as Con
sols, i. e., several different loans consolidated
in one stock, 3 per cents., Reduced Consols,
New 3 per cents., &c.
In 1817, the English and Irish Exchequers
were consolidated debt. The present debt
cannot be less than four thousand two hun
dred millions of dollars, most of which is
Consols bearing interest at three per cent.—
The ordinary price of three per cents. is 95,
because people investing at such low rates
will not pay par when money is worth a
higher percentage. The report by a recent
arrival, was that Consols had fallen to 89 and
90. This is equal to two years' interest on
four thousand millions of dollars. If holders
were obliged to sell then, the aggregate loss
would be $240,000,000. In such cases, only
those who have money engagements and must
sell out to meet them, are losers.
Horrible Crime in France.
The Court of Assize of the Loir et Cher, in
France, recently tried a young woman named
Ganthier, and her mother a widow,
,named
Reset, for murder. The younger woman, in
1858, married a man named Ganthier, who
had two children by a former wife. She and
her mother wanted to make him settle on her,
in the event of his death, the property he pos
sessed; but a notary whom they consulted
said that he could not do so, so long as the
two children lived. On that they brought
from nurse the younger child, who was a boy
not a year old. At that time he was quite
healthy, but the woman gave him but little
food, and compelled him to take considerable
quantities of wine, and even brandy, every .
day. The consequence was that he soon be
came sickly, and on the 3d of July expired.
On the 19th of January last, the two women
announced the neighbors that the eldest child,
three years of age, had fallen in the fire and
burned - herself to death. The neighbors
found the dead body of the child lying in the
grate dreadfully burned, but a medical man
who examined it declared that she must have
been thrown into the fire and pressed with
the face downward until dead. On that the
two women were arrested, and the elder, af
ter a while related, with revolting effrontery,
that she had proposed to her daughter to burn
the child to death, that the other had consen
ted, and that she had then thrciwn the child
on the fire. "At first," said she, "the child
cried, but I held her down until she was si
lent ; she struggled a little, and when she was
quiet I went away I" While this murder
was being committed, the younger woman
was quietly sitting at the door ! The jury
declared the two women guilty, and the court
condemned them to hard labor for life.

Fr II J LIVER INVIGORATOR t.—
_c PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD.—Compounded
tirely from. GUM is one of the best purgative and Liver
medicines now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,
easier, milder, and more effectual than any other medicine
known. It is not only a Cathartic but a Liver remedy,
acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then
on the bowels and stomach to carry off that mutter; thus
accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the
painful feeling experienced in the operations of most
Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time
that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses
will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Liver is one of the
