THE FOKBIQk NEWS
We publish to-day a large amount of foreign
news. Though it relates no important or start
ling events of tbo war, it Is of much Interest.
The most serious feature of this intelligence is
the prospect presented of the re-establishment
or friendly relations between Austria and Russia.
The result of the Vienna Conference has thor
oughly alienated Austria from the Allies. Sho
will take no part with them In the oonfliot.
England and Franoe seem no longer to expect
that, and are now apprehensive that her weight
will be thrown Into the opposite scale. In a note
from Count Nesselrode to the Austrian govern
ment, it will be seen that Russia highly approves
the conduot of Austria In the conferences, and
throws all the blame on the Allies of not accept
ing the reasonable proposition of Count Buol,
the Austrian Minister. Russia would have I
aooeptod the proposal, and It was a fair one, ]
and would have terminated the war without dis
honor to either perty. Russia is also entirely
satisfied that Austria oontinue her armed ooon.
patlon of the Principalities. Suoh may well be
the oase, for it enables Russia to withdraw her
troops from the line of the Danube and send
them to the Crimea. Austria baa thuß effectually
aided Russia, and the Emperor Alexaudor may
well be desirous of such lndlreot aid In future.
England, Prance and Turkey are now preparing
for a campaign on the Danube, and it will soon
bo' soon whether Austria will withdraw her
troops from that quarter.
The aooounta given of tho defensive works of
Sebastopol, and of the indefatigable efforts of
ihe Russians to hold the place, give the defend
ers full credit for remarkablo courage, forti
tude, Bklll and energy. The hero of Sebastopol,
and its ohlaf engineer and commander, Todle
ben, is dead. But his successor soems to know
how to carry out his plans, and profit by his
wonderful skill. Bo large Is the garrison that
new fortifloations can bo begnn and completed
In a few days. The damages of n day’s bom
bardment oan bo repaired la a night. Fresh
troops oan be thrown into the plaoe dally to sup
ply the place of the slain. Provisions and am
munition are abundant; and everything indicates
that the place can bo held till a Crimean winter
is again upon tho Allies. That is evidently the
hope of the Rasslans, and If oonrage, energy
and untiring Industry oan avail, their hope will
be reolisod.
But tho summer is not yet over; and tho
state of the ground around the Allied onoamp
msnte would eeem to render oertain a east
amount of sickness. The countless dead hare been
burled near the eurfaoe of the ground, and the
carcasses of dead horses, the filth and offal hare
aooutnulated until the whole atmosphere Is
poisoned. No wonder the dies are more nu
merous than the liee and loousts of Bgypt; and
It will be wondorfal if the heat of August does
not produce most fatal diseases. Should the
oholera or plague break out In the Allied oamp
It oould not fall to be most destructive. Escape
Into tho open oonntry Is Impossible. The Rus
sian army have tho Allies effectually enolosod;
and It la admitted that all the heights along the
Tohernaya are so strongly fortified that the
whole force of the Allied army oould not break
through them
The siege of Bebastopol is the moat remarka
ble in history, and has already oost more blood
and treasure than the siege of any other olty of
anoient or modern times. The artillery is the
most powerful ever üßed, yet the works of the
defenders are said to bo about aa itrong now as
• when tbe siege oommoueed. Two hundred thou
sand assailants are hept at bay by a garrison of
thirty-fire thousand. But that garrison is con
stantly renewed and replenished as battle and
disease reduoe Its ranks. Two years ago the
world knew little of Bebastopol; and half our
readers probably were not aware of Its existence.
Now tbe eyos of all nations arc turned towards
It In anxiety and wonder.
The lest accounts Indicate that another as
sault on the place la contemplated, and It will
donbtlecs be far moro desperate than the last
Btitb Emotiohs. —In North Carolina the
Demooratio majority on the popular vote is up
wards of 10,000. The same party have eleoted

majority; and six Demooratfl and four opposition

Lynch Law In Wisconsin.
la Wisconsin the death penalty waß abolished j
a few years ago. Murder is now punished in
that State by imprisonment for life. In several
other Btateß the abolition of the death penalty is
strongly ndvooated; but the experience of Wis
consin is likely to prodnoe some ohange in pub
lio opinion on that subject. In two coses lately
of atroolous murder the people have thought
perpetual imprisonment too light a punishment,
and mobs have taken tho prisoners oat of the
hands of the ollioors of tho law, and hanged
them.

a man by the name of Meyer, and his wife and

baok, tried and found guilty of murder in tho
first degree, when he was remanded to jail to
await sentence. The Sheriff startod for tho jail
With the prisoner, surrounded by military. A
rush, however, was made by a mob, and the
military gave way. Debar was Btruok to tho
ground by a stone, when the mob fell npon him
and mangled him In a dreadful manner. They
then tied a rope to his heels and dragged him
through the streets a distance of half a mile, and
hung him by his heels to a tree, where he re
mained hanging lifeless up to 6 P. M. the Bth.

A Small Potato Hnaband Heat.
Mrs. Smith has lost her husband. She sus
pects that he ran away with another man’s wife,
whloh, of course, Smith ought not to havo done
without herconsent. These Smiths—particular
ly the masouUne Smiths are, as la notorious, a
rather eaaly set. Several of them have been
transported to Botany Bay, and quite a number
have been hung—not enough, it would seem.
How a emart, proper woman, like tbo lady whose
advertisement we oopy, evor allowed herself to
bo wheedled Into marrying a Smith, Is not dear.
It Is pleasant, however, to know that she boars
up against her affiiotiona like a true woman. All
she ask* Is to get her tongue at the rascally ab
soondlng Smith for half an hour, and she will be
satisfied. Perhaps, attor all, It was a consider
able amount of experimental knowledge of tho
power of Mrs. Smith's tongue that oansed Mr.
Bmith to decamp. If so it is not likely that
$2 will tempt him to return.
But we are anticipating the advertisement,
whioh we pnbllsh as fonnd in the Mount Holly

to warn all women from having anything to do
with him—for If ho will desert one, ho will an
other and no confidence oan be plooed in him.
He is of short stature, rather stout, dark

THE DEFENCE OF SEBASTOPOL
The correspondent of the London Timet, wri
ting on July 10th, says of tho Russian defensive
works .-
“ It seems to be not alone the Malakoff and
Redan whioh the enemy ia strengthening'.' :The
Rnsßinn engineers aro evidently oonstruoting
works on a very large soalo behind the fortifloa
tlons with whloh we havo been brought in con
tact. Tbo whole harbor is alive with boats.
Crofta of all shapes and sizes aro oontlnually
orossing and re erossing, carrying gabions, fas
oines, and tranks of trees for the construction
of abattis, as well as provisions and ammunition.
They discharge their cargoes and immediately
return for fresh ones, each boat seeming to iaake
some 12 or 14 trips a day. The ships’ boats
seem all to be employed at this work, whioh
is no doubt performed by the sailors. The large
supply of wood yielded by the forests of the
Crimea has been one of the ohief aids to the de
fence of Sebastopol. Fuel for the steamers and
for cookery has been obtained in abundanoe, and
the want of ooal has probably been little felt.
Trees felled and brought a distance of ten or
twelve miles from tho strong abattis, six feet
high, whioh ia ono of the chief dofenoes of the
Redan. Fascines for works have been obtained
from the same quarters, and ore brought la vast
quantities ”
July 13 —Last night the Russians kopt up a
tremendous fire. It has been blowing a gale for
the last twenty-four hours, and tho wind bore
the sound of the heavy guns towards us, so that
the very ground shook. lam sorry to Bay that
the battery whioh the Frenoh have oonßtruoted
between the Mamclon and the Malakoff has
been knocked to pieeu by the powerful fire of the
latter fort. A colonel and about thirty officers
and men were put hore de combat , and the siege
works have reoeived a decided cheok. In faot,
as the Allies advance to the actual defenoo of
the place, they must expcot to meet more elabo
rate works, and obstacles heaped on one another
with all tbo care which nine months of prepara
tion admit. Even now tho enemy are strength
ening the Malakoff every day. It is not what It
waß on the 18th of June, and a fortnight hence
it will not be what it is now. The battery at
the White Works, however, still goes on, and its
effect will bo proved in a fow days.
Tho editor of the Times says:
It clearly appears that on the 18th, as In all
tho preceding instances, the Russians succeeded
after tho bombardment in re-establishing tho
lino of defonco of Sebastopol In its primitive
state, and, though it is not denied that the
works were severely damaged by the fire of the
bcsiegerß, means havo constantly been found to
repair the lines, and to construot new batteries,
even under a heavy tiro. This is one of tho
prinoipal ciromnstanoos whioh distinguish the
siege of Sebastopol from all other sieges in his
tory, and which show tho uncommon skill with
which the Russian engineers avail themselves of
tho new system of fortification they havo created,
while the Russian troop 3 display equal energy
in the execution of these plans. Sebaßtopol
may be Bald to bo defended as muoh by the
spade as by the sword, and repeated experience
has now shown that in works of this nature the
utmost damage caused by a bombardment from
siege trains even of unexampled magnitude and
powor mav be repaired within a fees hours by an
active and resolute pan-iron- That, of oonrse, is
a peonlb.r advantage wbiob works reveled with
masonry never can possess; and the contrast
which has lately boen drawn by a writer in the
Elinburg Review between the speedy fail of tbo
towerß of Bomaraund and the protracted resist
ance of tho earthworks of Silißtrla and Sebasto
pol, is a most ioßtruotivr lesson in the art of do
fence. To render tbo bombardment of Sebasto
pol of any use at nil as n preliminary to tlie
assault of the plaoo, it must be followed instant
ly by the attacking oolomns, for tho Interval of
a single night has on more than ono occasion
snfiioed to counterbalance tho effect of ono of
these gigantic operations.
Bot tho most important item of tho laßt Eu
ropean news is the account of the indications
that Austria and ail the Germanic nations will
yet be drawn Into the war on the side of Russia.
A correspondent of the London Times, on the
23d July, says.
There is reason to believe that the attitude of
Austria at this moment ocoaslons some anxiety,
if not positive disquietude. Ever since the rup
taro of tho Vionna Conferences the Rnsslan
agonts at Vienna, who aro moro numerous than
is generally supposed, and who, perhaps, are 10
be found in regions whore thoy are least euspeot
od, labor with redoubled energy to detach Aas
tna completely from her engagements with England
and France For tho last fortnight much progress
has been made, but particularly within the last
six or eight daye tho rcsnlts to a certain extoat
arc more and more obsorvable. At St. Peters
burg, where tho Austrian Ambassador, and in
deed all Austrian subjects, had been treated
with moro than hauteur over since tho treaty of
tho seoond of Decomber, a marked change has
taken place. At the Court, and In tho general
society of the Russian capital, the Austrians
are treated with the utmost urbanity, and ore
the otjeots cf tho most delicate attention.
Wherover they Bhow themselves they are reoeiv
ed with open arms, and the very name of Aus
tria, that not long ago stank in the nostrils of the
l Russians of all classes, seems now reverod as
la Sainte Runic Itself could bo. The order ap
< pears to have gone forth, and in trntb Is obeyed
i to the letter, that nothing, however great or
| however trifling, shall bo left uadono to win that
I Government over to tho interests of the Czar.
Lord John Rnsscll and M. Drouyn l’Huys are
held up by Russia as martyrs to the truth.
Russia protests solemnly to Austria, who I fear
loads her too ready an ear, that she is still dis
posed to forget and forgive; that she still ac
cepts the principle of the four guarantees, and
will accept it under any clroumstanoes of suc
cess or disaster, under any eventualities of tho
war, und this declaration she will repeat even
on tho ruins of Sebastopol; and she callß on
Austria in the moot solemn manner to aid her
by her moral infiuenao, and not to abandon her
la each a cause. Austria Beems not insensible
to this appeal, and I believe it has been intima
ted on her part that, aftor all, what Russia de
mands is not too unreasonable. It is again
stated that if France and England will aooept
the principle of the guarantees, Austria pledges
herself, in the event of Russia refusing, to open
ly proolaim her adherenae to those Powers, and
to resist tho presenoo of a single Russian sol
dier on any part of the Ottoman territory In
Europe. What she will do iu ease of a con
trary sobolvs she docs not, 1 believe, say; but
from her tone and manner it may be oon
joolured. It Is her faollity of belief in
the nsanranoes of Russia, and her oooasion
al disposition to look favorably on her oause,
that ocoasion the anxiety I have alluded to.
Tho young Emperor is at heart with us, but
bis entourage is malignant, and, what is worse,
is influential. Ills Majesty shows symptoms of
the Incurable malady under whioh the Ring of
Prussia has so long labored ; he is vaoillatlng
an 1 nneertaln, and the moro his weakness Is
manifest the more daring are his courtiers. M.
de Bruokis with us—so is M. Baoh, and perhaps
M. de Buol; but the Russian party may beoomo
too strong for them, and, if tho present Austrian
Ministry were upset, it requires no very aoute
Intelligence to guess who would be their suooess
ore. Austria failing ns. we shonld have all
Germany Russianized. I believe tho danger is
known to tho English Government, but I do not
think that mnoh importance is attaohed by them
to It, and 1 am not quite sure that even the proa
peot of Germany detaohed from ns appals the
stout heart of Lord Clarendon. Wo all know
the insidious polioy of Russia, and it may be
useful to oall attention to the objeot to whioh it
is at this moment addressed.
Count Nesselrodo sent despatches to the Rus
sian minister at Vienna, and they have been
oommunloated to the Austrian government.
In Count Nesselrode’s note he expresses the
most unbounded and unqualified approbation of the
course pursued by Count Buol throughout the Con
ferences. The last proposals of Connt Buol are
dealared to be suoh ns Russia would have aoeop
ted with one or two unessential modifications.
Count Nesselrode oomplains bitterly of the re
fusal of the Plenipotentiaries of the Western
Powers to proceed to tho dlsousßion of tho fourth
point before the third had boen finally adjusted;
and declares that this article, whioh would have
placed tho Christian subjects of the Porte un
der the protection of European Powers, was the
most essential of all. More Important, howev
er than any part of Connt Nesselrode’s note
yet adverted to, ore two passages to whioh wo
now invite attention. The first declares that
Russia views with satisfaction the occupation of the
Danubian Principalities by Austria. And Count
Nesselrode protests that so far from Russia’s
wishing to engage in a war with Austria, the
armies of Russia are now , as formerly, at the ser
vice of Austria. The Bubtle Cabinet at St. Pe
tersburg has the Austrian Government in Its
toils. The continued oocnpntion of the Princi
palities ia guaranteed by Rusaiato Austria: the
Eastern question is plaoed upon a new basis
(the protection of the Cbriatian raoes In Turkey.)
in order to afford Austria pretext for ohangibg
sides; and the support of Russian armies Is
promusd to Austria.

UNATTRACTIVE PICTURE OF LIFE IS ASIJ ABOUT
a cash-.
Ia spite of orders, ordinances sad precaution, j
in hot weather, o camp is,the moßt dtegnsting
locality in the world. For variety, of abomina
tions 1 can . compare the English and French
oampa before. Sebastopol at this momont to ,
nothing but-a Tarkish town—the French being
far the worae'of the two. Onr “lively neigh
bors 11 have long enjoyed the roputatioa of being
the dirtiest olvilized people in the world, a, oir- ,
onmstanoo wbioh by no means dotraots from j
their numerous good qualities, and oertainly .
their soldiery maintain their repntation on this j
point, as well as their martial glory. Notwith- j
standing their mnoh vaunted military organize- ,
tion, their oamp is avast altar to Cloaotna—the .
men apparently delighting in ohcosing for their
aots of worship the first spot that presents it- j
self, inetead of being obliged, as the Englleh
soldiers aro, to confine their devotions to the
loco sacra. Add to this a sprinkling of dead
horses and bullooks, and oanse a Crimean sun .
to rage upon it for twelve mortal hoars a day,
and the result will bo an odor of whieb yon oan
only form an idea by a short visit tosomo.respeo
tablo knacker’s yard. From these remarks up
on the Frenoh you must not suppose that the at
mosphere breathed by the English is by any
means Bavory. By them too, dead horsoß and
bollocks aro allowed to lio abont in the snn, and
their cloaca do also emit a wide spread odor;
but the nuisance is by no means so. groat, and
greater attention is devoted to abate it. Bat no
efforts oan prevent the wholo oamp beooming a
hot-bed of pestilence during the Summer months.
The Englith Quarter.— 'So man oan breathe
the exhalations of a ossspool week after week
I with Impunity, and in addition to this, the dead,
| both men and horses, but especially tie latter,
have been but lightly covered, and still contri
bute their quoto to the contamination of the at
mosphere. I would advise every one, however,
who wants to form an idea of tho various ways
In which dirt oan be ecouraulated, preserved,
and made to glvo ont tho greatost variety of
stlnkß (there is nothing sometimes like plain
Saxon,) to pay a visit to the English head-quar
ters. 1 rode in there to post a letter the day
after Lord Raglan’s death, and I know not what
it may be for those who were aoonstomed to it,
but oomiog, as I did, from the fresh pure air of
Baidar, I was obliged to compress my smelling
organ while riding round the house to avoid the
perfume—first, of innumerable heaps of nondo
eorlp nastineßß, suoh as old bones, old clothes,
kllohon refuse; secondly, of numerous sheep
skins, whieh lay in small piles and fermented in
the snn; thirdly, of large quantities of offal,
mainly tho entroils of slaughtered animals;
fourthly, of a dead bullook; and lastly, of sta
ble manure and of numerous small establish
ments desorlbed generally in the army under the
nemo of the rear. The loute ememblt was abom
inable, and considering the smallness of the
area in whloh all the above horrors were ool
leoted olose around tha house, 1 must say that
not only need poor Lord Raglan’s death ex-1
oite no surprise, bnt the wondor is that one of J
h e staff has survived to aocompany his remains
t> Eagland. Use, of course, reconoilos one io i
anything; persons I have mentioned this to,
tell me, “Oh yon should have seen it in win
ter 1” but it would be well for every one hero to
remember that things which winter frosts and
winds made to pass harmless, summer tarns into
deadly poison.
The Turkish Camp.—The Turks, I need hardly
say, aro no hotter as regards olcanlinsss—in
fact, not so good as their neighbors. There is,
and, in my opinion, always will be, cnongh fatal
ism in tbe Oriental charaotor to prevent the
adoption of sanitary precautions of any kind
among tho followers of the Prophet. As a gen
eral rule, also, every Turk has been born in an
atmospbere more or loss fetid. In the houses,
and above all in the harems of the rich, flow
ers and perfumes of oourae abound, but among
the middle and lower classes, I should say, the
vast majority of Infants smell carrion with the
first breath they draw. By commoneing thus
early, 000 would, of course, get aocustomed to
anything, oven to being drawn and quartered ;
and for most Turks the vicinity of a mass of
pntridity 1b a matter not worthy a moment’s
consideration. Add to this, general carelessness
and indolenco, and you may easily imagine that
the Turkish camp is at no time vory cleanly,
and becomes perfectly intolerable when it has
been long in one spot. Tho latrines aro too
oloso to tho tents, and as to using them or not,
the wholo neighborhood becomes for o European
all but unapproachable. Then again, a Turk,
when he has not water in abundance, is dirty in
his porson, and is tho thirstiest oonl in exis
tence ; when ho cannot drink oloan water, ho
drinks foul.
Effect on Health. —Tho consequence of every
thing 1 havo now stated is that diarrhoea ia all
bat universal in all the armies, and cholera will,
I fear bo much more so daring this month and
that of August, the two hottest and most dan
gerous of tho year. It is alnray ■ unpleasant to
lay oneself open to tho imputation of being a
croaker, but it is impossible not to entertain op
prehensions in the face of all this filth, and in
the presence of the fact that one can already
harlty point to a elnglo man who has not got
diarrhoea. Dyopeptio people aro looked upon ia
England as remarkablo for moroseness and ill
humor ; out hero it is quite tho reverse ; con
finement of tho bowels makes happy, careless,
merry dogs, whom everybody admires and en
vies, who drink their beer and devour their
tough beef with impunity, whilst their neighbors
aro looking melauoholy over various compounds
of rloe. or sloppy mixtures supposed easy of
digestion. I was in the oamp of the 10th Hus
sars the other day when a man whom the preva
lence of the oholera had “ demoralized " sent in
a fright for tbo doctor, because for two days ho
bod been the viotlm of dyspepsia. When tho
story was related to a group of officers, “Oh
that I oonld say the same!” was the universal
ory.
ifinor Trouble! — Tliee. —Though delivered by
the progress of tho siege from Russian sortieß,
we aro exposed to tho attsoks of other enemies,
os unceasingly troublesome, if not as dangerous,
i Every nook and oranny is Infested by flies in
j millions, whioh give one no rest by day, and
little by night. Within the last week the thing
has almost assumed tho dimensions of a plague.
Situated as I am in tho delightfal vlolnlty of
several hundred commissariat mules, and a va
ried assortment or emfijy sugar barrels and re
ceptacles for beef atfEpork, it ia possible I may
havo more than my share of these pertinacious
Inßeots, whloh hover on every side ia oloudß,
and settle on tho most irritable parts of the fane,
without giving a moment’s relaxation. Like tha
Harpies, they literally “dispute tho viands,
suoh as they are, on whloh wo regale, a morsel
in Its passage to the month being generally set
tled upon by two or more of tho Insects, which
require to be vigorously shaken before they will
let go their hold. To remove them from a
glass of any liquid before tasting it, it is
necessary to introduce three fingers and draw
them from the vessel, on the prlnolpal of “drag
ging,” as praotlsod by the Humane Soolety.
Tho only way to be at rest is to sit in a thorough
draught, whioh, when surrounded by papers, is
a somewhat troublesome position. On entering
a hut after a few momenta’ absenoe, they rise in
a dense olond, with deafening bust, from every
objeot. Irritable sufferers pursue them despe
rately with towels, laying abont on every side;
others try to carry on a more solentifio warfare,
by horning old newspapers after olosing every
aperture; but il ls useless—in five minutes the
place is full with a new and more hungry swarm.
Tho only respite is at night, when the invaders
retire to roßt on the ceiling In enormous blaoh
patoheß; bnt evon thon a oandle bronght In
rouses tham to all tho playfulness of noon. So
rioasly, they are an unexpected and most trou
blesome visitation, and are especially irritating
to the poor slok fellows in the hospital marquees,
whom they prevent from getting any rest the
live-long day, and keep in a. constant state of
nervous restlessness. For the next threo months
wo moßt be oontent to suffer all they can lnfiiot,
unless the rains of September rid ns of them.

Without being disposed or deeming U necessary to go

medklno on a member of my own family, and under my

edies had failed, fully justify me In recommending Its use
to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady.
I do not mean to say that It Is adapted to all constitu.

of course, I can know nothing about that—but from what
1 have seen of the effects, I would n*t hesitate to use it, in
