There is another incident in the reports
that is worthy of notice, as it indicates the

Alessandris, in the immediate vicinity, and
besides being inspired by a feelings( emula

lontebedlo is on the eltrerne right of the
Trench lines, close to Parma un the east, and
not far from Lombardy to the north. It is
near_ly in the direction of Milan from Ale -
osndria, and a little loss than half war, the
whole distance being only (15 miles. It would
aeon, therefore, as if the French were push
ing on their right to strike at the capital of
Lombardy.
It is a curious historical coincidence that
the bottle of Montebello was the first
fought by the troops of Napoleon I. after
crossing the Great St. Bernard in IS®. It
was one of the bloodiest and fiercest ever
fought. In disparity of numbers the resem
blance is also remarkable. Napoleon I. had
then only 18,000 men, two-thirds of whom
were new soldiers, who had neversecn a shot
bred ;.and. with the, he was to arrest the
desperate march of an army of 1.20,00 veter
an Auatrians. It was nece'.sary for him to
divide this little band to save it frma being cut
to pieces before he could receive reinforpe
manta. With characteristic rapidity he
moved from point to point to Lombardy; with
lightning glance his eagle eye perceived the
movements and combinations of the enemy
under Melee. He knew that a great and de
cisive battle must soon take place, for Melas
was rapidly concentrating his army from all
points. To Lannes and Murat he issued the
following brief but remarkable order :
"Gather your forces at the ricer Scradelia.
On the Bth, or 9th at the kte.t, you will have
on your hands 15,000 or IS,t)t)o Austrians.—
Meet them and cut thoin to pieces ; it will be
so many enemies lees upon uur hands on the
day of the decisive battle Ns e are to expect
with the entire army ofTalus."
The prediction turned out true. An Aus
trian force of 18,000 strong advanced and
=themselves strongly on the heights of
hello, with batteries planted upon the
hill sides which swept the plain. It was of
the greatest moment that this body slsould be
prevented from combining with the other
vast fortes of the Austrians, Lannes met
them with only 8,000. Yet they rushed on
the foe with a shout of enthusiasm. Their
rants were swept with a storm of grapeshot.
Said Lannes, "1 could hear the bones crash
iR my division like glass in a hail storm."—
For Rine hours--from eleven in the day till
eight at night—the carnage continued.—
Again and again •the mangled columns of the
French rallied to the charge : and it was not
until three thousand of them men lay dead
on the field that the Austrians broke and
fled, also leaving three thousand dead behind
theta, with six thoneand prisoners.
Napoleon, hastening to the aid of his gen
eral, arrived just in time to see the battle
won. He rode ap to Lannes, surrounded by
the dying and the dead, his sword dripping
with blood, his face blackened with powder,
and his uniform soiled and torn by the long
strife. Napoleon smiled in silepee, but did
tint forget the heroism of Lannes, whom lie
afterwards created, from this battle field,
"Puke of Montebello "—a title which has
descended to his family to this day. It was
the same hem who had before eared the fight
on the terrible bridge of Lodi, when the
Freed' were mowed down by the Austrian

-raid it was impossible to advance. "Impossi
ble is net French," said lionaparte. as he
mined a standard and rushed forward shout
ing, "follow your general." Lannes, how
ever, was the first to cross the bridge. lie

into the midst of the Austrian ranks, and

The Democracy Uniting.
Some of Black Republican opponents wh o
aro so zealously engaged in endeavoring to
argue themselves into the belief that the grand
old DemoLvatin party is dieurganiseu ante
no better basin for their suisertious than their
hopes and wishes. To those who are calcu
lating
upon being greatly profited by our
little "family differences," we commend the
following paragraphs. which we cut from the
New Raven Palladium:'
•• At, members of the Opposi tine, Oe never
calculated any gain from these family jars of
the Democracy. nor do we now. In fact, they
generally end in a closer union than before.
But with the Oppositiou a split is a split, and
the more you try to fix it up. the more of a
. plit it beetnuee."
This meting to be the frank and honest con
fession of a man who has built his hopes of
success upon Democratic "familyjars" and
beep grievously diaappi ed. lie knows
how to estimate these "diffirences"—ite is
forced to acknowledge that " they generally
end in a closer union Va t before." This in
eminently , true. This is the spirit which is
now animating the Democratic party through
out every section of the country—North and
South, Rest and West. There is springing
up, everywhere, fecling of loyalty to the
organisation of the party that promises to
lay strong handl on all who are sieelimg to
introduce issues that will divide and thus-de
feat the party. The questions upon which we
have differed are being dropped. Personal
preferences and prejudices are being cast
aside, and the Democracy are now closing up
their ranks, firmly and unitedly—preparing
for the great contest of 1860. Our leaders
advocate national measures—measures that
will prove of benefit to the tivb..le Union. h
is a well-established fact that our country has
grown prosperous under Democratic rulers
and the policy adopted by them. The Demo
erotic party has, for the largest part of our
national existence, been the guardian of our
national honor ; and a D:Anocrutic adminta
tration is to-day carrying to a 15 uecessful issue
eery great toreign question. Triumph fol
lows triumph, nod every portion of the wan
try feels the benefit of a policy wise and suc
cessful. Let the patriotic masses of the Dem
ocracy ponder in these things. They has.
only to insist on loyalty to the organization
that has conferred such priceless service on
our country in order to insure future
triumphs to their cause.

eludes the opinion of the oourt :
As a ciusen I would not deliberately violate

with fugitives from justice. But if a weary,

The Virginia Election.
It is generally believed, and there is the
strangest ground for the belief. that Mr.
Letcher's majority for Governor, notwithstan
ding his untoward illness, and consequent
inability to stump the State, and despite the
local dissensions and the machinations of a
hardworking foe, will be fully six thousand!
Mr. Van Buren only beat Gen. Ilarrison by
1.2.00. Mr. Polk's majority was only about
(i, 1 4.8). General Cass defeated General Taylor
by not more than 1,500 majority. General
lieree's vote exceeded that of General Scott
but 15,01 s). And these were presidential
battles. when the county is always more
roused than when the fight is merely local.—

Their present strength is proved to be not a
whit greater Una it was at the last guber

entirely, and for members of Congress they

heard on all ,idea. The Locomotive, (man
ufactured at the well-known establishment
of Messrs. M. W. Itatowtv & Co., Phibidel

a l rea dy gives evidence of great power and
fine running qualities. IVe predict that it
will prove; an '' A No. 1" machine. The i
cost is 38,5011—and the weight 24 tons. The
Passenger Cu was built at York, by Messrs.

seat fartreight passengers, besides having
s 'cient Plaice partitioned off at one end for

r gement is truly admirable. The body

age, with straw colored trucks, striped
with black, as is the prevailing style on many
of the larger roads of the'conntry. It is very
substantial, and passes over the road with ex

of the passenger,. Take it all in all, the

Pesos haeleseets - -
It is our painful duty to nerd a 'booking
accident on the Gettysburg Railroad—the
first of a sericite character that has occurred
upon it since its completion. On Monday
evening last, the up.train stopped at "Granite
Station," (Kuvo & Medium's warehouse,)
about four miles from this place, and unload..
ed a few articles of way freight. A ear of
lime was also to be left there. Mr. WILLIAM
KING, eon of one of the proprietors, (Jacob
King, Esq., of fluuterstown,) and who attend.
ed to the business of the Warehouse, then
stepped upon the rear of the train, for the
purpose of cutting loose the lime ear when at
the top of the warehouse switch, ect that it
might pus, down the grade, upon the adding.
The trnin stnrtett, and after imaging the switch,
the engineer "shut or' steam a moment,.
that Mr. King 'night draw the bolt upon the
lime ear, and again let on the steam, as usu•
al in such eases. Mr. King succeeded in
drawing the Ixdt at the proper point, but it
ris supposed that whilst doing so he was
standing with one foot upon each platform,
fur, when the ears parted, he fell upon the
track, and the lime car, still having n for
ward motion, passed over his body, producing
almost instant depth. When taken np, (the
train having been immediately stopped,) his
pulse gave but a few feeble beats, and then
ceased forever. The wheel, passed over his
brentlit crushing it in—his right arm was
broken, and one of his thighs dislocated. Ili,

have been caused by being pushed along the
