Etorrtout ;—Not long ago I spent a short time in one of the eastern townships of this, immitY, where j met many who in ream gone by were my school-boy friends, and who.atal hold a strong "place in my remembrance: But not all of my youthful friends were there;— some of them had passed away, no more to mingle with us here on earth. • While thinking of these, my mind =usually tamed' to the spot where they were sleepinsthat long sleep which !mows no waking.— You know that when we realize that ire too must imam or later lie buried in the earth's cold bosom, it is natural to hope that we may rest undisturbed beneath the shade of Soule overhanging tree, where the green sod above , us may be allowed to grow no. broken, save where the kind hand of a ,curviving friend plants a flower to bloom and lop its leaves upon our glare, thee reminding them thkt " such is life." And how revolting to every delicate sensibili ty would be the thought Of being buried in the open field; neglected and unremembered. Agreeable to the musing of my mind, I wandered ,into-the burial ground where lie those wlxi are to my memory dear ; hoping there to 'find the graves of my once joyous raids exhibiting 'Anise merits of attention whiciiindicate that they are not Angelico by surviving friends. But how different from this •was the-reality. There, in an open field, where the common lied are allowed to trample,' I found the graves of my oft-ruminbered companions.

The battle commenced nt a littld before five o'clock in'the morning of June 24th, not far from suprise. Just. bick of castillopo. rises k high:range of PIN witieb fprojeetsti milb or thereabouts into the plain,.atLthen breaks off towards the.. left into a wide' ez paps° of smaller hillsrind po into: the rollitig .snrface which makes that , portion of 'the plain. The Austrians had taken position On• these hilt4,:plantirg cannon upon those near: est to Qtatiglione, which they could approach as the Emrich army was in full force in and aren't& that little village, and stationed-their immense prmy all -over the surrounding i plains. 4s - n er as we 'can learn, the Emper or Francis . J ph .bad • collected here not less than ,22.1, 0 troops,' and commanded them' in perso His evident purpose was to make a sta here and risk the fortunes of the war. n the hazard of the day. Napoleo Promptly accepted the challenge, and .commenced the attack as soon ris it. was light, by 'placing cannon upon Jim hills still tiCarer to' Castig e lione than those held by. the Austrians, and opening fire upon them on the heights beyond. lie look his own - stand up. on •the highest of these, a steep, sharp backed, ridge which commands a magnificent view of the entire circuit of the plain, and from that point difeeted i the entire movements of his army during the early portion of the day...- The French very soon drove the enemy out of the posts they held nearest to the town, and followed them into the small.villages of the plain i below.• The first of these. was &amino, where tliey had a sharp and - protracted engagement. The Austrians disputed every inch of ground, and fought here, as th 4 did throughout the day, with the utmost ,ileiperation.. .They were three times driven out of the town be fore they would stay out. _ The people, more? over, took part against thO French, upon whom they fired from their windows, and the Frene.h wero compelled in self-defence to burn the town. " When they found it ,impes. sihle to hold their ground any longer, they fell -bark slowly and steadily until they reached the village of Volta, directly south east froth-the liver Mincio, from which, how ever, it is separated by a range of -hills.— Upon these hills, in the rear of the town, and overlooking it completely upon the south and southeast sides, the Austrians had planted very formidable batteries„and when larrived upon the field and went at once to the height where the Emperor had stood at the openiag of the engagement, but which he had left an hour kefore to follow his victorious troops, these batteries were blazing away- upon the' French, who were stationed upon the plain below. The gelteral result was soon made evident by the slackening of the Austrian fire and by the following lack of thin smoke and a cor responding advance on the part of that which rose from. the French artillery. The cannon ading at that point lasted for over an hour, but in precisely what direction the Austrians retreated it wasliot possible from the posi : lion I occupied to see. Part of the Austrian force,. probably crossed the, Mincio river which flows southward from the lower end of Lake Guarda and empties into the. Po. But the battle continued- to rage all ovfir the region northwest of a line connecting the towns of Castiglione, Solferino, and Volta at one point after another. A sharp cannonad ing would arise and continue for half or three quarteri of an hour, and after each succe-sive . engagement of this kind the result became apparent in the retreat of the Austrians and the advance of the French forces. During all the early part of the -day the sky had been clear and weather hot, .but clouds began to gather about noon, and at five o'- clock, while the cannonade was at its height, a tremendous thunder storm rolled up from the northwest. The storm lasted for about an-hour, and the cannonading so far as we could distinguish, was suspended. Then the rain . ceased, the don& blew away, 'the sun shone out again, and the air was cooled and perfectly delightful. Though the cannonmay have ceased for a time to' take part in it, the light had .'mean time gone on, and when I again resumed nii post of observation from - which the storm had expelled me,sthe cannonading. comment:- ed quite on the extreme left of the entire field, and on the very borders of the lake northest from Castiglione and west of Pes ehiera. C The Piedmontese troops, under the King, who commands them in person, had -been posted there and received the Austrians as thoy i came around: Froth about seven o'clock until after night fall an (incessant and most terrible Combat here kept up. The batteries of the two ar rnio9 were apparently about half a mile apart,, and tie the outset they were both served With nearly equal and effective vigor; but the Austrians gradually slackened their fire and took up new positionr, while the Sardinians poured, a rapid and uninterrupted shok4r of balls upon them, suspending only for a' few minutes at a time, and then renewing it again with redoubled --fury. The wind had now giMe down, the air .vas still, and the sound Of musketry as well as-of cannon was distinctly heard. Sometiines only a single flash Would be spell, then two or three •at once, find sometimes half a dozen would break fJeth in constant succession. , It was beginning to be dark when I turned to de .seend he bill, and all the way down 1- still hoard the roar of the cannon and the clatter ing idre guns of the infitutry. . The Apstriatts have sustamcd aft over whelming defeat and it, seems lo me not un likely that tlie s kinperor may now he induced, by the represeniations'of the neutral powers, to time t the peace which Napoleon will be .very likely .to tend,er him. I am afraid to 1 venter upon any conjectures as to the num ber kil ed, and, wounded. in this battle, but from t e-nature of the case it must be ,cpor mous.l J . am confident- that ,not less than ten thous d wounded have - been brought into this vi hige,alone during the day, to say noth ing d hose. that were left on the field or tak en to .them places:. . • /plurality Affair---A Man Palls Love `with His Own D aughter -Grand Denoue 'mut. : . . • §0419 fiftOn -years Ago a, - man, neened , Geo.
