The French-Sardinian forces lost about seven hundred. . Many of the Austrian prisoners had reached Marseillies. [A battle was fought at Montebello between the Austrians and French in 1812, and the French were victorious. A like success has attended the French in their recent battle with the Austrians.) SECOND DISPATCH. Hostilities have commenced. A battle was fought between the French and Austrians, on the 21st of May. The Austrians, under command of General Sta tion (?) attacked the allied posts commanded by Marshal Baraguay D'Hilliers, but were driven back by Gen.

Two- hundred of the latter were made prisoner, including a Col onel. - 'The allies lost several officers in the con flict. The Austrian accounts of the battle differ widely from those of the French. The active French force in the engagement is not stated, but it is reported at sixty-se. en thousand, besides .a regiment of Sardinian cavalry. The Sardinian bulletin announces that the - extreme left of the Sardinian army, under Gen. Baldwin, had forced a passage over the Sesia, putting the Austrians to flight.

MnL~s, in thestwenty-seventh year'of his, age.' We clip the above from a western paper. To the many it will be merely a sad item, something to sadden the heart and arrest a fleeting smile. To us-and we too are many --who knew him and loved him in life, the sadness is more than sad, and the crape on our hearts will long tell our sorrow at the bereavement. Personally, we knew him well. For three years in college we sat together toiled, rejoiced and hoped toether-met the ills and wells of that varied Ii eand, having met as strangers, we parted friends. And they only who have known the power of such friendships, can take in all that we mean by " friends." Our own experience in this res pect is that, we know, of' all our class. We - turned from college to meet the world some thing over six years ago. We pressed his manly hand in parting then ; and a proud hope swelled our heart as we looked towards his future. He devoted himself to law ; and in Texas he had acquired a prominent posi tion at the bar. The present was a proud success, and the future promised even more. Up among the mysteries of the Infinite, it was needed that he die. He turned from the minor claims of human greatness, and went back to God. A venerable modher's love warmed the chill atmosphere of death for him; and in her home, where his beinigbeo'an, he gave that ~being back to its Source. 'T[he * infinite love of a mother yielded its claim only to that of the Parent of All.

We lingered long by his grave, for his eventfii life afforded us food for meditation. If we could have seen and conversed with his de scendants, who live in this vicinity, we could have gained a fuller sketch of him. Mr. Miller was the oldest typo, in the State. For the publication of Junins letters-'the author of t1iose papers he well knew-he was ex pelled from Englnd. He came to South Carolina; probaby worked for a while in the office of the first paper published in this State, at Charleston, and thence removed to P'endleton, using the press whith Gen. Greene had in his campaigns, he did job work, until lie commenced the publication of the "Pen dleton Messenger,"--the second paper estab lished in this State. " The world has speculated much as to the authorship of Junit's, but John Miller carried the secret to his grave at the " Old Stone Meeting House,' and has left no information as to the name of the author."

I The reports from many of our farners attending aere on sale-day last were generally of a cheering rea ature. The corn was said to be as good is usually p teen in June; though the grass was making rapidl strides to keep pace with it. Rfreshing showers have improved the crops; and in many places the by rains have been so excessive as to injure the lands pre by washing away ditches, &c. The cool nights and mornings or the past week have materially effected the growth and appearance of the cotton crop, but we hope a favorable fall will make amends. hox e21 Augusta Merchants. * Attention is directed to the advertisements of at our Augusta patrons.

If I knew precisely what you wanted it would give mIpleas are to make them more full than I now do. The failure of our bill last December, as you are perhaps aware, compelled our company.to sus pend all work with the exception of the following, Dontinued with reduced Torce: 26 mile Craok'Ma ionry, Seneca Embi nkment and Masonry,*ection 21, (Sharpe's heavy work,) Stumphouse Tunnel and Whitmire Embankment.

Section 21 is going on.with 26 hands. At the Stumphouse the force has been reduced to 340 hands. Since Jan'ry last, we have been compelled to discharge 260 prime hands, brought on'ka you know at conaiderable cost. The work~is nevertheless pressed on as fast as possible. With the reduced force our 3honthly progress exceeds 200 feet heading. Could the full force have been continued, the heading drives would have been greater with proportional pro gress on the benches. You thus see the Tunnel can very easily be completed Inside of the- time estimated. The distance betwoon the East end heading and East beading of No. 2..Is now but 330 feet. These headings will be connected in December. You can then ride half-a mile into the Tunnel from the East cnd. The West end heading is but 220 feet from the West heading of No. 4. They will run through by September, and then there will be # (three eights) of a mile continuous excavation from the Western Portal, inward. No. 3, our wet shaft, entered the Tunnel toward the close of February last, as you will remember I told you it would do, ion you were laat upon the line. I mebtion this that you may rely im plicitly upon my estimates of progress-which you will recollect have heretofore been verided. The headings West and East from No. I in No. 2 and No. d are all underway. And we are ear nestly endeavoring to present next fall so favora ble an exhibit of work as to appeal to our hereto fore strongest opponents.

Ithaving been my good fortune to attend the celebration of the Anniversary of the Philosophia Society of the Furman University on the evening of the 27th ult., I have thought that a brief notice of the occasion would not prove entirely wanting in interest to your readers, especially since the Orator of the occasion, Mr. W.icsn, Is a resident of your District. The Literary Societies of the University, marched from the Baptist Church.to the New Court House at a little after 8 o'clock P. M., headed by the "tGreenville Band," and halted in front of the door, opened ranks and marched into the build ing in invertedl order. .The Street was brilliantly illuminated and the procession presented a beauti ful appearance in going through the mnanmuvre. A fter an appropriate prayer, the speaker was introduced. IHis subject, -~ Mind and it's achieve ments," thoug~h not calculatedl to elicit much d-pth of reasoning, was very approp: ia e nud highly interesting. The origina.l happy .cun'lition of ilnan in the blissful rigion of perennial Spring, erc the foul breath of sin had blown upon andl tainted the mind, and his condition since that woeful event were beautifully.aud graphically portrayed. Man's repensibility asa being possessed of"andlnd which is aided by that still sali v'ide," audible amid the whirlwhind ef passion as well as In the calm of refletion was forcibly, though briefly pointed out. But these monitions are frequently unheeded, and the mind was most beautifully compared to a rock in the Ocean over which the raging billows of de basing appetites and passions may flow for a sea ion, but when the storm subsides It triumphantly raises Its head above the waves. *The nature and effects of the achievements of the mind In different ages were ably delineated. rho achievements of one age assists the researches mf the succeeding; the labors of the Ancient Philosophers have not proved in vaini, for though mot free from error, they have formed the basis apon which succeeding generations have bmuilt sue yeufully. And here the speaker dwelt with much pathos upon the labors of Socrates, Plato and trstotle, which, though not appreciated in the Limes of their authors, have sine rendered them mmortal. This fact should ever encourage the tudent in his search for truth, for though his co emporarles may not appreciate his services, fu ure generations will award justice to their merit. P~articularly was this the case with Socrates. Bet t has net bean confined to the Ancient Philos. >hers; "Sthe genius of a Shakespeare was too lofty n its flights andI too dassling in the unfolding of if its latent power to be appreciated and rewarded ty the commons of his day;'-" the poetry of a filton was too pure for the age In which hilIired md wrote,"-but succeeding generations have not withheld their due meed of praise. The conclusion of the address was-especially to he members of the Societies, and though brief ras complete with intereat to thetm as students,since he whole of the preceding was applied to them a affording encouragement in their labor ad reparing them for the difficulties with wh~e rould necessarily have' to contend in the~ en teavors to "Climb hegep where Fame's proud temple shines afar."4 But .we necessarily do the speaker great Injus ice in so brief a notice of his eloquent oratlon.

DmAn CoL.-In passing'from my house on yes. terday to this place, I could n1ot help being forcibly struck with the general appearance of the crops, and particularly-cotton. I certainly never have noticed the plant more backward at this time ol year, nor in worse condition. For the most parl there appears to have been little work done 'to it. I saw but few acres put to a stand, while the greaterportion appeared neverto havebad a hoe is it, and some neither plough nor hoe. The ground bard and cloddy, and the plant extresely nmall. I have considerably headache to-day, and attribute it in part to the close and scrutinizing gaze I gave many fields to ascertain whether they were plan. ted, or let to weeds and grass; but from inquiry o my driver would learn he "beleived" it was plan. ted in cotton, as he saw some there; and so they were. The.corn in generally small but where properlj cultivated it has a healthy appearance, oxcept it low and bottom places, where there is none look. ing well. Oats generally are fine, and mostly very fine Wheat I cannot speak of with certainty, as it needi a close examination. The greater part appears as you pass along, to be of good height, and wel headed while some has considerably rusted. I se in your last issue that it is thought the rust wil no't injure the wheat; I am of different opinion. ] am satisfied the blade rust, Is not to injurious to wheat as the rust upon the stalks, but it has th4 effect to kill the blade, and leaves the stalks pre maturely exposed to. the rays of the sun heh wil dry It up, before full maturity of the g n. I ax smined mine which I was cutting on yesterday and found the stalks dry, weak and hardly strengtl to stand before the scythe ; yet the grain (thoug] full) is quite soft. My fear is, that the grain wil shrink, for want of proper sustenance from thi stalk as it fuily ripens. I trust I may be mis taken. I knote mine is much injured by the rus as It was taken with it quite early. Where thi *wheat is taken only lately, it will injure but little From the difference of the appearance of thi crops, in the sandy, from the clay region, I an almost half-way tenipted to adopt the language o 'a Rev'd ftiend of mine, who says, "that the sand: country, beyond and about Edgefield, is the great esat country on the Globe, if you will only allow u to have guano and naiggere enough." I must say, in justice to the farmers within miles of Saluda, that my remarks do not extend t their crops, as it was too dark In passing by then to ascertain their condition; but have been tol that near the river there Is some fine cotton. IL For the Advei'tiser. A Pleasant Drink. Mn. Enivoa-I observed in the Aeter i short time sine a recipe for making Beer, but I is much more troublesome than one which I wil give, and one I know to be good, which nevo: fails to produce a pleasant drink. Take half gallon Molasses (Syrup will no answer) with a large table spoonful of best gron. Ginger, and mix well into five gallons water. Ii two or three days (according to the weather)i will be ready for use. Try it, you that are fon< of good Beer. D. H1. SHYMENEAL.
