Some of our greatest battles, attended with heavy loss of life, were continued trom day to day for a ‘week or more; 1m fact, until the contestants were | thoroughly exhausted, withouteither side being | Subdued, or any decisive result accomplished. | Gur military operations in this respect were | im striking contrast with modern European contests, particularly those in which the elder Napoleon was engaged. The great battles of sixty years sco rarely continued more than a | tew hours. and were nearly always succeeded by the capitulation or retreat of one of the con- | tending armies. So with later military opera. | tions there. | The latest instance is the battle of Sudowa, news of which bas just reached here. We do not know the exact number engaged on each side, but the results announced by telegraph, and no doubt exaggerated as usual, are stated | to be the capture by Prussia of 14,000 Austrian prisoners, ll} cannon, and several flags. The | battle lasted twelve hours, when the Austrians retreated in great disorder. This battle (which from all the mean= we have of judging, does j not seem to have been of greater magnitude or , importance than many engagements even in the early years of our war, when the number ef prisoners taken, as at Fort Donelson, was very great, and which bad no effect in dis- | heartening the losers,) seems to have been de- cisive, in so far that Austria at once signified a desire to accept the mediation of France. | That peace will follow we are mot so san- | guineas the English journalists seem to be- Austriamay be willingto surrender Venetia’ in order to disarm Italy and conciliate Napo- ieon. but will Prussia consent to retire from | the contest without any more substantial re- | Ward than a barren victory? Bismark will hardJy surrender advantages he has so easily gained. If be does not, and Napoleon sides ‘with Austria, then new complications arise, and Bismark will find in the French Emperor an opponent worthy of his boldestand shrewd- est etrokes of policy. if Austria succeeds in pacifying Italy. and making a friend of France, | then the sdvantage is still with hér. We shall wait further advices with considerable inter. est. for the march of events is rapid, and there is no telling, in the present disturbed state of fairs, what a day may bring forth. | THE VETO.

How _ they Occur—Merchants' National of Washington—Report of Investigating Committee—Reckless Mismanagement— Abuses of the Law Representative Hooper yesterday, from the Committee on banking and currency, charged to inquire into the condition ot National banks, ete , Made a report tothe House of Represen- tatives. They first took up the matter of the Mer- chants’ National Bank of Washington, in which institution at the time of failure there | Were nearly $76,000 of public money on de- posit. At that period ,and for some time pre- Viously, the house of L. P. Bayne & Oo, of Baltimore, was indebted to the bank for an amount very neariy equal to this amount, | This house was the principal debtor, and had almost all the yailable funds ofthe bank, with. out having given or being required to give any security whatever for their debt, which Was represented by @r. Huyck, the President of the bank, to haye mainly originated in Seven Thirty bonds of the United States, transmitted by the bank to Bayne & Co. On the first of Jamuary last these bonds seem to have been made the pretext for a false and de. | ceptive statement to the Comptroller of the Currency. by representing the bonds sent to Bayne & Company as being in the possession of the bank, while in fact they were then be- yond control. All the testimony taken by the committee proves the management of the bank to bave been in tne highest degree illegal, im- provident, reckless and dishonest, and that the failure was caused by the extravagant and unreasonable credits allowed without security to Bayne & Company, and tbat the failure of that firm necessarily involved that of the bank. it is sbown that Huyck, as the Treasurer of the Washington, Georgetown ard Alexandria Railroad Company, illegally issued two bun- dred and eighty-five thousand dollars’ worth of its stock te prop his transaction, and that the original certificate of the bank itselt was a fraud, one party (J. B stewart) having been Tepresented as owning six hundred of the two thousand shares when he had not one doliar thus invested. No institution, the committee say, could be safe in the bands of men <o reck- less and unscrupulous, and the failure of this bank, involving so considerable a lossof Public money, must be attributed wholly to the dis- horestand criminal conduct of the men who comtrolled it. It appears by the testimony that a most per- | Ricious system was adopted by the president of the bank. Mr. Huyck, in connexion with Mr. Oscar King, one of the directors, and Mr. H. G. Fant, by which they undertook to pro. cure deposits of public money b: disbursing r. King re- ceived compensation in the nature of interest | Dpon the Rg, oad of these officers, whom they | claimed to v e influenced to open accounts with the bank. Dir. King was the special uid- ing, Mr. L. P. Bayne, of the house of Bayne & Co.. being the other surety on hix bond—both of them being directors of the bank. It does not appear by any testimony that the officers making the deposits had knowledge of this payment of interest on their accounts, or that they deriyed any benefit from it. On the contrary, the parties concerned expressly de- clare that theyhoencealed all knowledge of that fact trom the officers whose acts they thus made the source of profit to themselves. In regard to the gross abuee of their trusts as & depository of public money by the Merchants the committee are of opin- yon that legal proceedings should be had for the punishment ef those of the managers who are responsible for that breach of trust, and also such proceedings as May be necessary to recover any portion of the money: and as it was pe 4 Money entrusted to disbursing of- ficers of the War Department, the duty of in- stitucirg and conducting these roceedings should be committed to the War partment. | They therefore report a resolution for this aspen. | The other loss of pnblic money deposited tn & National bank, which has come to the know!l- edge of the committee, is in the case of the Ve- Pennsy}- Yania, which failed on or about the 28th of March. It was a depositing bank, with fifty thousand dollars in bon nd Treasury notes as security for i The capital was #3200,000. Itseems to bave been managed for the benefit of Culver, Penn & Co., of New | York, who had allof the funds of the bank, their debt to bank being over $600,000. Under such circumstances, the failure of Culver, Penn & Co., necessarily involved the failure of the bank. Many of the National banks which were converted from State banks do not make pro- Per exertion to withdraw their old circula- ‘tom, and in mapy imstances pay it out, and tike measures to continue it im circniation, thereby receiving the benefit of the old circu- lation, and at the same time of the National currei notes received from the Bureau of of the Gomptrener. The committes are satisfied that the existing law does not confer the power to correct and prevent many of those objectionable practices and abnses of the banking privieges confer- red by the law to which their attention has been called by the testimony before them. ‘The bill the committee hate reported to amend the National Currency act teninins many pro- visions to remedy the defects of the existing law and to give to tne Comptroller of the Cur- rency more power to restrain banks which he knows to he improperly managed.

Painter, corres- ponaent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, was as. saulted in the Capitol by an agent or par- tizan of —— Sloapaker, Collector of Inier- | nal Revenue Third District of Pennsylvania, j whose confirmation Mr. Painter had opposed- Mr. Painter's bead was somewhat injured. Mr. Sloanaker—if he is responsible for the act of his agent—does not seem to have gone to work exactly after the right fashion to demon- | strate his fitness for the position he seeks. P.S.—We learn that Benjamin F. Beveridge, formerly of the Capitol Police, and —— Tow- ers, of one of the Philadelphia papers, met conversation sprung up in relation to Sloan- aker’s nomination. It is etated that Towers made some assertion in regard to a charge by Painter against Slo- naker, when the lie was given, and Beveridge immediately struck Painter a severe blow, knocking him down, and then kicked him. Some parties near by stopped the affray, and the Capitol police took Beveridge and Towers in custody. Painter was at once taken to the room of the Postal Committee, where he still remains. He ix quite severely bruised. The case was brought before the House this afternoon, and a committee was appointed to | investigate the circumstances of the affair. Beveridge is an athletic man, of prize-fighter proportions and dévelopment of mascle. THE FISHERIES. The Navy Department has received a report from Commander Cooper, of the U.S. Steamer Winoork:, at that time at Pictou Isiand, N.S, with which he transmits a copy of the addi- tional instructions given to the English Nayal Commanderin those waters by the Govern- ment of Great Britain, in reterence to licensing Amercan yessels for sharing in the Fish. eries. The privileges granted to fishermen by these licenses are identical with thoseenjoyed under the Reciprocity Treaty, and the licenses are in- terchangeable, by which is meant, that a li- cense obtained in one Province is good in an. other. DONE FOR. Congress ts thoroughly collapsed and done for by the heat to-aay, and is doing nothing of any earthly account. bave even sprawl enongh to vote an adjourn. ment, but continues to go through the motions of legislation in a sort of slack-twistea way from pure force of habit. Unless it hurries up its cakes it will hardly effect an adjournment by next Monday. HON. H. J, RAYMOND. By the full report of the late caucus proceed- ings, published in the New York Times. it is evident that Mr. Raymond, of New York, was entirely misrepresented by the current report, which placed him in the attitude of taking ground against the Philadelphia Convention. ALTERATIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. The White House is at present undergoing vephirs and alterations. The room hitherto used as the ante room, is being fitted up for the use of the President, ag his reception room in the future. The partition that formerly divided the room, to form a screened Passage from the west wing to the late Executive Chamber. has been removed, and a blind door will be placed at the entrance to the hall en- trance to permit a free circulation of air. The room hitherto used by the President as an audience chamber will be fitted up to receive the President's Seeretaries, and the room formerly occupied by them will be devoted to the use of the Executive clerks. Thus all of the offices ure brought into connection, which will prove much more advantageous ana con- venient than when separated from each other by balls or passages. The ante room. for the use of the ladies who are waiting to see the President, will hence. torth be the room opposite the one formerly used by the President and will be much larger, lighter and cooler than the room previously used for that purpose. FREEDMEN’S REPORT FROM FLORIDA. ‘The Commissioner of Freedmeu’s affairs has received s report from Major General Foster. military commandant and assistant commis- sioner for the State of Florida. The Genera) states that tne colored people of Tallahassee, celebrated the fourth of July by merry ma- kings, barbecues and parades. The white cit- izens as a general thing discouraged any cel- ebration of the day, and although many be- lieved there would be violent interference by the eyil disposed, with the rejoicings of the freedmen, the day passed. off quietly and peaceably. The General reports that in that section the colored people generally receive impar‘ial yus- tice in the courts, and are well treated: larger number of ex-officers of the United States army have settled and invested their means in planting in tbat section of the State than in any other. This interest with that of other northerners investing inthe lumber bus- iness, is fast increasing. and .in a few years, if protected, will be powerfal enough to obtain the entire political control of the State, FALSE BBPORT. The report telegraphed trom Leavenworth some days ago that the Commission sent to Fort Laramie to make a treaty with the Indians, had failed to ao so, is untrue.

Mr. White drew & pistol, and Bishop retired to the mid- dle of the carriage way. drew a revolver and fired. The ball struck White's coat near the collar m front, and passed out behind, with- out drawing blood. The parties were arrested py Roundsman Vernon and efficer Boyle, and taken to the station house, where they had a h-aring this morning before Justice Handy. Bishop was beld in 8500 bail for court, and was fined twenty-five dollars fof carrying con- ceaied weapons. White was also fined the same amount for carrying weapons. Soon af- ter the shooting, the father ef H. T. White ap- peared on the corner armed with a pistol, and made some tbreats in regard to Bishop. He Was arrested thie morning and fined twenty dollars.
