MILAN, August 14, 1870, We are on the eve of a great European battle. That battie, 1t is bevleved, will change the destinies sud map of Europe. ‘The declaration of war by France against Prussia fell like a thunderbolt from a smuling sky. Italy, tailed ina peace which promised to be both long aud profound, addressed hersel‘ to honest, hearty work, and, above ali, to economy. The army was reduced tw the sinallest peace footing, eighteen fillions subtracted from the war fund and all the energies of the country turned to commercial and industrial interests. THE HOMB SITUATION, GQlancing at Italy’s position on the map of Europe and recalling for @ moment her history for the past half century, you will see that the present moment is one of extfeme uncertainiy and trial, Bhe finds her population divided into three parties—first, the Court and aristocracy (in this instance a distinguished but helpless party) who are bound by mariage ties to tne Napoleon dynasty (the Princess Clotilde, wife of Prince Napoleon, is of the House of Savoy, daughter of Victor Emanuel), and by royal gratitude to the caase of France; second, the conservatives, and these are in the majority, who desire a neutrality armed to meet every contingency; and third, the radicals, who clamorously demand that Italy de- monstrate her pacific intentions by ulter Inertia and Lelplessness, To these last, some of whom may be honest in their motives, may be added the re- maining dregs of a class to be found in every coun- try—a class that invites foreign domination and enjoys slavery; people who still lament the Aus- tmans! The party, as a party, is flercely republican, which in the present condition of Italy means auarchy, and manifests itseli in revolutionary riots Uke that of the 241n of July, 1870, at Milan; riots which would be aiusing if they were not deplora- bie. With the sublime tuconsistency of parties they desire an alliance with Prussia, an ubsoiutism, and fiom it hope the: foundation of a democracy | a re- UbUC Arn IN arm with # despotism | a presideat bnobbing with a king who professes to hold iis crown by right divine ! a Lauza joining hands with o Bismarck Who declares himsel/-nunister ‘not of the people but of King Wilitam, nis master” (tis own words).

Even should these despatches prove salse the failure of the mission of La Tour d’Auvergne to secure if not an alliance at least a neutrality in every event, and the continuous and rapid work to complete the fortress of Trentare sufliclent to awaken the gravest alarm. WHAT PRUSSIA MAY GAIN. On the other hand a great victory of the Prussian arms, it is believed, would be followed by the trans- fer of Alsatia and Loraine to Germany; the restora- tion of the legiiimists, the Orlewnists, at Paris; the Bourbons at Naples, and, in the event of Italy being auabie to deiend it, the loss to her of the Adriatic, At ts @ favorite remark of Count Bismarck that “Germany commences from the Adige,” and that astute siatesman, while contracting for the great Alpine railroad, through the St. Gothard Pass, nas, no doubt, cast more than ono covetous glance on ‘Trieste and the Oriental ports which give 1: value.

The news of the Prussian victories has produced a profound sensation throughout the length and breadth of Austria. In giving a description of the state of public feel- ing here 1 will first of all present some transiations from the Vienna papers, The Neue Freie Presse, in ita leading article of this morning, makes the fol- lowing remarks:— . The Germans have won two victories In one day— at Woerth and Saarbruck. The moral and politi- cal sigmificancesy! these victories is immense, and is not tu be esilindted at tue present momeut. Not only 13 the confidence of the French army broken, but tne ef im the superiority of ich military genius and discipline, mitherio isting im Europe, bas disappeared, The attack a Wissembourg, which Was carried out witb such Superior forces, left the question still open as to whether the skiil of the Germans in wetcs was equal lo that of the French, and whether the Prus- sian arms were equal to the Chassepots and mitral jeuscs, At Woertu, however, the numerical sup- eriority Was no louger tmportsnt, and if the batile has taken place,'as 1b appears, on this side of Woerta, in order to gain possession of the heights beiween duits and Woerth, then the numenical Superiviity of the Germans was balanced by the strong postion of the French. At Suarbruck 1% appears (hat the French were notin Imicrior num- ber to the Germans. Accordingly vue superior quality of the German troops and tie ter skill of their generais was proved. This fact isof more Weight than the tnree Prussian victories, for it de- molishes all the political combinations built upon the sandy toundaion ef trust in the French army. The effect of the news from the seat of war upou tie Freach people, who have becn lulled into & mad belief that they are invincivie, is not to be estimated. Bspeciaily is this true of the exeitable population of aris. Not only 18 sell-contidence, and belief in victory shat- tered, but all the aifairs of France are put out of join... ‘The news from Paris 18 likely soon to be of a luore dramatic Character than that from the scene of uction. * * * ave they in France a secret plan ike the Austrian oue of 1896? Are sinzle army CO.p3 tw be sacrificed and the nauonal territory lost in order to be won back agaifi, or have they Not got through with mobilizing’ Does the old pro- verb apply to Napoleon, ‘Whom God will desiroy He strikes with blindness.” The reflection of this morning’s Nenes Wiener Tagbiat: are in tie following strain:— We omit to describe the fcelings which the news from the seat of War musi awake Ia the breast of every German of Austria, A certain pride in our Kinsmen, who have done battle so mauntully, and Who have caused the old proverbial German bravery to be held in honor again, mingied with certain sorrowiul aud bitter recollections. But a truce to such reflecuons, “ * * Without Violating that contideration which one ever must nave tor the de- jectea, we can say that the French government and the French generais are playing a rie before Europe which is almost comical. itis not to be forgotten that it was France that provoked the war, that it was Napoleon that conjured up this bloody butchery, He might have been saustied with bis diplomatic trumph in putting aside the candidature of the Hohenzollern, a triumph wiuich no man in Ku- rope grudged him, Bui no; Napoleon desired war atuny price In order to streugthen his louering throue by humiliating Germany. Afler speaking of the overweening confidence of he French Geverals and their contempt of German troops, the writer goes on to say:— ‘These gentlemen have experienced the humiliation that the ikreuch army has been’ nearly aunihiiated by the despised conungents of South Germany. The Ausirian army, which was badly enough ied 1p 186%, was by far not so badiy beaten as the conquerors of Solferino. The Germans of Austria rejoice at the success of their kinsinen, aithough they understand very well that the success of Prussia ts sure to bring with it, at no distant period , the dismemberment of Austria and the exclusion of the iapsburgs from the last foot of German soil. They, however, rejoice in the prospect of a great German coniederation from Triesie to Ham- burg. ‘The success of the German race 1s the central idea. Ithas outgrown everything else. austria, Prussia, South Germany, are but accessories, A great united Germany 1s the watchword. Every- thing that assists in bringtug this about has signiil- cance, and everything that stands in its way is to be fought against. Tnis accounts for the tmmense significance of Prussia at the present. Around her rally the sol- dicrs and the hopes of all Germany. kven the Ger- mans of Austria, stricken to the ground in 1866, re- joice at the present turn of affairs, They know that the friendship of the French is nothing but a pre- text by which to cover their design of keeping Ger- many separated and thus secure the ascendancy of France, THE FOREIGN DIPLOMACY, Nothing can exceed the surprise of the diplomats here at the state of France. Every one is agreed that Austria, in 1966, was in an enviable condition in comparion with France of 1870. No man can understand how Napoleon could force on a war for which he was totally unprepared. On one point the majority are agreed—that there is something awfully rotten in the krench empire and that the days of Napoleon are numbered. ‘The leading articles of the Vienna papers of the 16th are more interesting than those of the day before. The Weue Freie Presse begins its leading article as follows:—- German arms have won the day before yesterday two brilliant victories, At Woerth and Saarbruck the French were bloodily beaten and Louis Napoleon received two severe lessons for the levity aud pride in which he began the war. The cannons of victory which thundered yesterday in Berlin waked a joyful ) Wherever the German tongue is heard, where German hearts beat. Even in places where there is not the slightest sympathy for the Mohenzollerns or the policy of Bismarck all faces are glad and the breast of every honest German beats higher at tho news of the chastisement which the insolent enemy has received. For weeks we have been regaled by the Froucn papers with stories of the excelience of the Chassepot guns, the ferocity of the Turcos and the destructive power of the mitranieuses. in their blindness they descrived as they would a@ promenade to Berlin the war with the German people, the toughest and most enduring, and, with all its thoughtfulness, the most powerful people in the world. They have now been shown three times, one after another, the weight of a Ger- man biow. In spite of Chassepots and mitrailieuses, ‘Turcos and Zouaves, they have suffered three de- feats. No Frenchman stands on German soil. On the contrary, the whole German forces are marching on over French state Ee ‘The Oldenburger ts fight- ing by the side of the Bavarian, the Meckienburger by the side of the Swabian. As Arndt ouce sung: All Germany is rushing into France.” The writer goes on further to say that it Would not be in accordance with the spirit of Germany to rejoice ti the victory is en- trely won; that there 1s work ahead, and that one must wait ull the last plow has been struck. The conclusion of the article is that there can be no lasting peace tilt the battle has been foughtto the bitter end; that a peace now made, ‘without settling the question radically, would be but tue sced of future dissensions, and expresses the hope that neutral Powers will not interfere too soon, and concludes by warning Napoleon tnat in his front stand the armies of Germany aud in his rear the ghost of Liberty, which he betrayed and murdered; that diplomacy has to do oni ith France and Ger many, and by no means with Napoleon III. CUNVINCED OF TRIUMPH—WHO WILL COME APTER NAPOLEON. This last sentence reminds me of the reply I received from 4 German about a week before the commencement of hostilities. I asked him how he felt with regard to the war. Oh, sald he, the ques- Uon is not Grint tous; we are sure to Win; the only question is who wiil rule in France after Napoleon; his days were numbered the moment ae declared war. So the question new is:—Napoleon seems to have played away everything; to have lost ali perception of his position in the world.

Republican Agitation—Effects of the War— ‘fhe Republic Likely to Follow Prussian Victory—Prim’s Policy—Public Alarm—Eu- Genie’s Treasure--A Home for Napole: MADRID, August 11, 1870, On the 10th inst, a meeting was held by the per- manent commisston of the Cortes to discuss the opinion of the sub-commisston to examine the docu- ment in which Seiors Rios Rogas, Topete, Cantero and Lorenzana endeavored to show the necessity of reopening Congress. It was past three o'clock next morning before tie meeting broke up. The debate was Important not ouly on account of the different arguments for consideration brought before the meeting, but the firm attitude of some of the most eminent members of the House. The decision of the subd-commission to whom the document in question was referred, 13 against the reopening of Con- gress, considering that the reasons brought forward by the four Deputies are not sutiiciently important tomake it necessary.

Yo PacnOMeNoN Mass Gti iN LIWRENGE, Death of a Lady and Sudden Appearnuce of Her Face in a Window Glass—The Appnri- tion Photographed. Since the fall of the Pemberton Mills the city of Lawrence has known no such excitement as that produced on Saturday, the 20th instant, by the unac- countable appearance of a female's features in a light of glass in the window of a house on Broad- Way. It appears that a few days previous tothe dis- covery of the phenomenon an elderly lady, after a Jong and wearing sickness, had died. Tne day suc+ ceeding that on which the funeral occurred a lady who was visiting one of the tenants of the same house, m passing saw a figure in the attic window, which she instantly recognized as that of the de- ceased lady, and with great consternation comiaunt- cated the tact to the other occupants of the building, and in a short time the entire neighborhood was made acquainted with the strange and exciting dis covery. The window of the room in which the woman had died was immediately under that inthe attic, and was the usual sitting place o1 the deceased, Some supposed that by some means her face had be- come impressed upon the glass; but the fact that it ‘Was not in the room occupied by her, ard in a room that was usually unoccupied, displaces ail beilel in this idea. During the day and evening the story of @ ghost on Broadway was widely circulated through- out the city, and early the next inorning, which was the Sabpath, people commenced to gather about the ill-fated and haunted house, much to the annoyance of its mates and Immediate neighvo! None professed to believe a word of the wild story, and were only convinced upon an actual view wild their own eyes. A sister of the deceased, hearing of the matter, visited the place, and pronounced the likeness to be thatof her relative. The only re- maiming members of the family are two smail chil- dren. The excitement momentarily increased, as also did the crowd in the street, and by noon it was so great as to render the passage of the horse cars quite difficult, The inmates tried various means to remove the figure from the glass, but were unsuc- cesstul, and, with a view to sending the crowds away, removed the sash to the rear of the building; but as a means of scattering the people it was only successful in drawing them away from the tront of ‘he bullding to the rear, where the face was seen to @ still better advantage, though it seemed to have a somewhat diferent appearance. It was only when the sash nad been removed and secreted in the house that the crowd began to disperse and wander back to their homes, each having an idea as to the cause of the stagular vision and all agreeing that ‘there was somethiog in it, anyway.’ Early on Monday morning another crowd gatherea around the house, and Dr. Wm. D. Lamb, # promi- nent physician, obtained permission to remove the sash to his office, on Essex street. Here it was piaced in his window opening upon the main business street in the city, and every one couid get a fine view from beiow. The window was exauiined by intelll- gent and scientific men, and while some were of the opinion that it might be the resuit of the action of lightning, when some person had been sitting near, ovbers thought thus theory one of impossibility, Of course the many superstitions were satisiied that it was the “ghost of the dear woman, and nothing more,” There is one thing about it, at least, that seem strange, and thatis the factiof no face or Mgure, to be seen in looking out from the inside. During the day a firm of photographers, atter several attempts, succeeded in getting a very good likeness of the Sash and the face it contamea. No one can account for this strange phenomenon, but men who are practical and possessed of a good share of common sense conclude that it must be one of those curious defects that will sometimes ap- pear in window glass. The strangest thing in its connection is that it was not discovered until after the death of an inmate of the house. believe in the “spiritual” are making ti the circumstance, and, doubtless, there seldom oc- curs such instances upon which they can surely reach the partially superstitious mind.

An impartial reviewer of tie canses of our late war Will doubless discover that the politicians of the North were much to blame in assalling the institutions of the South, which, believing them jeopardized by the success of the republican party, Influenced the Southerners to revolt.

A COMPENDIUM oF THE HisroRY OF THE CaTHOLIO Cuveon. py b Theodore Noethen, Baltimore: John Murphy & Co. * ‘The bistory of Christianity from the death of Christ to the schism of Luther is literally that of the Catno- lic Church, aud since the Reiormation the career of the Catholic Church, though not exclusively that of Chrisuanity, has taken up so great a part of religion that its records cannot fail to impress the mind with a sense of its importance. In this book we have the unnals of the Church “from the commencement of the Christian era to the Ecumenical Council of the Vatican,” which recently decreed thé dogma of in- fallibility. The combats of the Church, her persecu- tion by pagans, her victories over her oppressors and her conflicts with “heresy and scandal” are all narrated in a ciear, agrecable style. It was not to be expected that events which bappened during a period of over eigh een hundred years could be fully detailed in six hur ired small pages; out the admir- able condensation of such events tras enabied the compiler to omit nothing of the slightest importance in the wonderful and, In many respects, romantic aistory of the Catholic Church. A W6MANS FATAL REVENGE. A Bugsy Ride Ends With a Tragedy in a Wiliow Copse. [From the Gilroy (Cal.) Aavocate, August 13.) Our usually quiet law-abiding city was thrown into consternation on Thursday morning, by a re- port to the effect that a nomicide had been commit- ed tie evening belore a few miles from tow What made the rumor still more startling w: that a female, well known in the commu- nity, and heretoiore, as far as we have been able to Jearn, bearing an unblemished — re- putatiou, was named a3 the perpetrator of the dram Froin the thousand and one versions of the sad affulr atioat on the streets we found it im- Possible to obtain anything like a reasonable state- ment of the affair; hence we considered it our duty to consult parties most likely to be in posses- Sion of the facts, in order thai we might be able to give them impartially to the public, without detri- ment or prejudice to either party. ‘The following ty @ Synopsis of the history of the unfortunate affair, 43 far a8 we have been able to giean:—lt appears that Beckwith Kelly became acquainted with Prudence McNamee several y 8 ago and before she first married, when after some acquaintance he made # proposition of marriage, which jected, Whereupon he stated to her that If she i marry him he would ruin her, Subsequently Married a man by the name of J. C, Stout. Then, Sperated at tus disappointment, he (Keily) cit lated reports derogatory to her character, which came to her hasband’s ears, about which, however, he did nothing. Not long after her first husband died, Ke'ly renewed bis proposition of marriage, Which Was @ second time denied. In about twenty months after the death of her first huspand she saw proper to marry Walter H. Page, her present hus- band, with whom she removed to San Francisco, where she resided for some time, Kelly in the mean- time again circulating reports calculated to cast a cloud on her character for virtue, which finally caused, as she states, their separation, upon which she resolved to wreak vengeance on the man wio caused her unhappiness. True to this resolation sie came io town on the day of the homicide, went to the livery stable of Mr. Cavanaugh and procured a horse and buggy, and was driving to the ranch of Mr. Henry Miller, Where Kelly was employed, when she met him on the road and invited him to get into ihe buggy Wither and have a ride, which invitation he ac- ceptea, when they drove to San Juan, returning to Mr. Miller's place at twilight. It appears they both gt out of the buggy, hitched the horse to the fence, got inside of the Lieid, and went a distance of about 160 yards from the road to a hollow place covered with a willow thicket, where the fatal act was done. Kelly was shot three times with a pistol ball—once in the igpe eye, ouce in the forehead, once In the region of the heart, any one of which would prove fatal. Mrs. Page came to town and surrendered herself to the civil authorities. She was brought before Justice Taylor for examination. Judge May, her couasel, asked and obtained till the 12th to prepare for defence, and held her in a $1,000 bond for appearance, which she gave. She was sub- sequently arrested by deputy sheri! Woodward, and brought before Justice Dowdy, who held her im a bond of $2,500 and set the isth for the day of ex- amination. We do not propose failing into the error too prevalent among Californian journals in expressing opinions and drawing conclusions before Judicial investigations are had. We hold tat in all cases of so serious @ character the public mit should be kept as uupartial and iree from ail bias, either lor or against the accused, as possible, until judicial investigations are had.

The Utica Observer says it 1s painful to record that Conkiing’s own city went back on him. But the truth must be told, and the State must kuow that, of nine wards, six went against Mr. Conkling atid only three for him. ‘The same paper gives the following as the slate for the repubiican ring in the county :—For Congress, E. H. Roberts, of Utica; for Sherif, Leis Gaylord, of Rome; for Clerk, James Grindlay, of Albany. The True Georgian calls its contemporary the Vew wra, the New Error. The State Legisiature of Texas closed its session on the 16th inst. The St, Joseph Union, alinding to the St. Louis Democrats biographical ske of Hon. B. Gratz Brown, expresses surprise that the Democrat “shonid publish an obituary notice of that gentie- tion.” The Utica Observer says that the probable with- drawal of all opposition to the nomination o! Mr. Roberts for Congress will obviate the necessity of a Senatorial journey to Binghamton this year. John Fisher, the present incumbent, and Seth Wakeman, who tried to be such two years ago, are the republican candidates for the Congressional nomination in the New York Twenty-ninwn district. Fred Douglass (colored) 1s spoken of among 16 publicans as a candidate for Congress from the New York Twenty-eighth district, to Ml the vacaucy occa- sioned by the resignation of Judge Davis.

B. Ives is the protibitton candidate in the ti. nots Fifth distri Charles A. Barnett 1s the democratic nomince from the Pennsylvania Fifteenth district. The district is usually democratic, but a serious split in the party renders its success at the forthcoming election somie- what doubtful.
