If you do, and disusters shonld follow, you will be held to a stern responsibility ! tponers 1e den THE CAMPAIGN EN BOHEMIA. We are still but imperfectly informed of the bloody engagements which on the 2ith, 27th and 25th of Juns had taken place in Bobemia between the ar- wnies of Prussia andof Austria. ‘The result, it seemns, was far from being decisive; on the contrary, the Governments of both Austria and Prussia were shout- ing over a pretended victory. Iu some respects there is hetween the Prussian and the Austrian dispatches an irreconcilable difference. Both accounts will probably e found to be exagger- ated with regard to details; but, frouf a comparison of the two classes of dispatches, some of the most im- portant facts of the campaign can without difficulty be established. The Army of the Elbe having occupied Reichen- berg on the 25th of June, advanced, without meeting with any resistance, on the 26th to Turnau. On the 24th they had a gevere cugagement at Munchengrate, in which, according to the Prussian statements, the Austrians suffered a loss of 2,000 men. Fhe latter were compelled to retreat to Firstenbriick, An Aus- trian dispatch . mentions that subsequently the Prus. sians advanced even so'far as Gitechin (or Jicin), but that at this place they were so thoroughly defeated by Gen. Edelsheim that they bad to evacuate Melnik, Dauba and Leipa, and retreat to Niemes, u town near the Saxon frontier, The army of Bilesia, under command of the Crown Prince, had entered Bobemia on the 26th of June, one | column descending from the ‘north upon Trautenau, and the other advauvcing from Glatz upon Nachod. Both columns wero engaged with the enemy on the 27th and the 25th, the former at Trautenau, the latter at Nachod and Skalicz. The Austrians claim to bhave | gained great sdvantages ot Skalez) while the Prussians estimate the pumber of prison. ers taken at Nachod and Trantensu st 8,000. The latest dispatch from the Ahslrip side triumphantly aunounceé that the Prussians were finally, on the 28th, completely defeated, leaving one- third of their army killed and inndua, and that they thereupon withdrew to Prussion territory, toward Glatz. Thbe Austrian statement as to the issue of the bat- tles on the 25th of June is very definite; but & farther corroboration is needed Defore it can be accepted as trustworthy. Inview of the great Portland conflagration, the peti- tion presented by Mr, Sumner for & law to prohibit the Tmportation of foreign fireworks, as dangerous to life and property, will attract public notice. We are favor- ably inclined to any measure which may lead to a less resonant and childish celebration of the Fourtl of | July—an anniversary which we should respect too ! much to make it an oceasion of mere roar. What with bel rocke g, | vided for in that ver ments—we mn?l1gv, upon each recurrence of the noisy and dangerous day, both to destroy millions of dollars’ worth of property, and to kill off by mere nervous excitement a great number of sick people. The doctors in charge of patients in nervous fevers will tell you that® they dread *“the Fourth” of all days in the year. It isin quite barbarous taste to expréss our patriotic emotions, or, in fact, any other respectable emotions, by creating a long and unintermittent uproar. When there is an cclipse at Nootka Sound, the timorous natives of that vicin- age beat all their pans and kettles vigorously to frighten away the great fish which they believe is try- ing to swallow the sun. One would think that some similar monster made an annual attack upon the sun of onr well-beloved political system. We would not needlessly interfere with the smusements of children, Dbut 'tis & pity to bave the dear creatures reduced to cinders in their emphatically ardent pursuit of recrea- tion. The boy who fired Portland, in his struggles to lave a good Fourth of July, can never be again an objeot ot agreeable contemplation to his fellow-crea- tures in that city, and it would be well, perbaps, for him to emigrate. If all boys, great and swall, who are incapable of quiet enjoyment, could, upon every Fourth, be tenderly ehloroformed for the day, the result would be a great saving of life and prope e———— THE BATTLE OF CUSTOZZA. When our army attacked the enemy at Bull Run, we Yyere not one whit more in earnest than the Ital- ians at Custozza, and the lesson of defeat which proved no injury to us, they, too, may stady with profit. Tn Ttaly is the romance of the European war. The nation has asserted itself with a boldness that commands the respeet of the world, and has shown a pertinacity which is cortain to be rewarded with suc- cess. Though for 70 years Italy has struggled in yain to recover Venetia, no repulse has weakened her pur- pose. Call her to arms against Austria, and the nation uprises as one man. The advance into the Quadrilateral may hove been & mistake, but the battle of Custozza was not a blunder. It would have been, had the defeat discour- aged the Italians; but all accounts agree that their enthusiasm is undiminished. Military failure is often moral saccess. This battle, which raged sixteen hours, from 3 o'clock in the morning till night, has, at least, proved the earnestness of Italy, and enabled her to feel her strength. None knew better than the Italians the tremendous strength of the famous Austrian position; yet, though with inferior numbers, they dared to attack it, they fonght with a resolution that for 1€ bours neutralized the advantages of their enemies. This was o skirmishing. The fight was hand ko haud, and bayonets decided the various engagements; at last, when night eame, *repulse, with plumes from conquest torn," led the Italiansy unpursued, safely to their own intrenchments. Such a defeat as this must inspire Italy with fresh ardor; nothing but could have been better. Thus much for its moral uses, which are obviovs, but it may have had a military object, a3 easild cb- tained by failure as suceess. The theory that La Mar- mora, in attacking the line of the Mincio, chiefly wished to d the Austrians, while Cialdini crossed the o, and ¢ntered V Jjustified by the situa- tion. Cogsidered in this t the advance was not & tia, « mistake but a necessity of the war, and a part of the But whether true or not, the fact remains that in the battle of Custozza Italy has given preconcerted plan. the stro est of future =i st proof of her determination and an earn- TEE MINISTERIAL CRISISIN ENGLAND, The defeat of the Russell-Gladstone Government been followed by a kind of political dead-lack.

To construet a purely Tory govern: with any hope of permanency was felt, it would se to be out of the question; so the exp y of coslition naturally suggested itself, and overtures wei made to certain prominent Whigs and in ial renegade Liberals to take places in the new Administr; r, did not meet with the favor idea of coalition has b . consequently, to the Tory o, is move, howe anticipated fo abandoned. Restrict party for bis choice of colleagues, Lord Dechy, it ap- an rs, finds that be has not by any means easy k on hand. A long exclusion from o whetted the Tory appetite. There is no lack of patriotic candidates for plac wg claims and sensiti aspirants for seats in the Cabinet re mansgement in order to insure any! monious and workable Administration, prising, then, to find that, although England bad been for nearly two weeks virtnaily without a government, in consequence of the Jdefeat of Earl Russell's Cabinet, been compglled to ask for another find successors for tho dispiaced Minist difficulty Lie experiences proves that the placed themselves in 4 false position. The vagillation and the delay are signs of conscions weakness. And the whole business is of evil omen for the English re- actionists, the days of whose tenure of office are, so to speak, already numbered. The dead lock will be, of course,-but temporary. Lord Derby will doubtless sncceed in forming a Ministry, which must retain office at least until the reassembling of Parliament in the early part of mest year, But we misinterpret sadly the signs of the times in England if men of the Tory type will be allowed permanently to control the deatinies of the country, The thing secms to be sim- ply impossible, In marked contrast to the troubles thickening around the leaders of the late Opposition is the proud position occupied by the leaders of Reform. Their apparent defeat has been an actual victory for the chuse they so nobly represent and so ably vindicate, A certain portion of the English press pretend that they cannot understand why Ministers should have re- signed; but the event, we are sure, will prove that they acted wisely as well as bonorably in accepting the adverse vote of the House of Commons on their Reform, bill as o call for resignation. Their position before the country is now exactly defined. No rvom is left for*doubt or distrust as to their intentions. They have taken up the gauntlet thrown down by the Tories, and they stand solemnly pledged to fight the battle ont to the end. Not the least interesting feature of the news just re- ceived in relation to the Ministerial crisis is the in telligence we have of the Reform agitation now spread- ing all over England, and growing into formidable proportions, This movement is just what we antici. pated a few days ago. The people were comparatively quiet during the discssion of the Reform hill in the House of Comamons, because they seemed to Lave thought it impossible that the Torigs would oppose the just concessions to popular claims pro- y moderate meaffire.

Another battle has been fought in South America, and the Paraguayans have again been defeated. Our dispatches state that on May 24th the Paraguayan army of 13,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry attacked the Allied forces with desperation, were repulsed,and re- tired from the field, losing 5,000 killed and a large number wounded. No material advantage, it is added, was gained by the Allies; but to us it seems that Paraguay cannot well afford such sacrifices of men and material, - From the beginuing of the war, Paraguay has achieved no importanf success, and the strong com- bination of Brozil, the Argentine Republic, and Urugnay, has baflled every effort of her generals. Her enemies, on the other hand, Bave not yet suc- oying ber courage or her hopes. The ing fierceness, and thefe is mo cec war 15 prebability of its speedy end. Though de- feated, the Paraguayans did not retreat, but retired to their camp, Hostilities recommenced, but the lstest information does not state, though it is probeble, whether the Allies followed up their ad- vau age and assumed the ofiensive. A further com- plication of the South American situation was threat- encd by a revolution in Cordova, which failed. Had the distresses of the Argentine Republic of invaluable aid to Paraguay.
