HALIFAX, July 12.-Liverpool Circulars re t that the weather throughout the agri tural districts continued favorable for the growing crops. At Liverpool, Flour had slightly declined, and sales were unimportant. Wheat had de clined 2d. to 3d. Corn was quiet, and all qualities had slightly declined. Beef was heavy, with little enquiry and weak prices. Bacon was dull, but prices were steady. Lard was heavy at a slight decline. Sugar repor ted quiet, but closed steady. Coffee unchang ed. Rice dull but steady, with unimportant transactions. Spirits of Turpentine was dull at 39 Od a 40s. American Securities were unchanged. Thei Paris Patria says that Louis Napoleon bad an epaulette shot from his shoulder du rin- the battle. bome of the French regiments were nearly cut to pieces. The Piedmonteso suffered so much as to render them unable to form a line of battle. A Telegraph from Vienna, on the 28th of June says: "Some days must elapse before complete returns of the Austrian losses can be procured." The Italian regiments had become very difficult to manage, and were deserting by scores of fifties. At Trieste, a whole battalion had pro nounced in favor of Victor Emanuel. A vessel under the American flag had been detected in taking deserters on board. SACEVILLE,' July 13.-The latest intelli gence brought by the Canada, in addition to what has already been telegraphed, is as fol lows: The Paris Xoniteur contains the following dispatch, from Louis Napoleon, to the Em press: u"VAL LEoJO, Friday.-The whole army has passed the Mincio. The Sardinians .have invested Peschiera. I am pleased to announce the arrival of Prince Napoleon with his corps of thirty-five thousand. I am now enabled to approach Verona without compromising other positions." The Moniteur contains the official bulletin of the battle. The Austrian force was from two hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred and sev enty thousand. The loss of tho French was seven hundred and twenty officers and twelve . thousand men killed an.wunsa - Amaikilled and --- nve enierals wounded.'. A correspondent says that the Austrian loss, so far as ascertained is, one thousand nine hundred killed, and eight thousand one hundred wounded. Arrival of the Steamship Etna. It was believed in some quarters of Paris, that the French loss at Salferino was very heavy ; and about as follows: Gen. Neil's corps lo'st between six and seven thousand; Gen. D'Hillier's corps nearly five thousand ; Gien. McMahon's about twenty-five hundred, and Gen. Canrobert's about~ one thousand besides inany casualties to the artillery and other crops. The Austrian accounts admit that twenty thousand men were killed, wounded and missing. For several hours the chances of the battle seemed to be in favor of the Austrians, who re-took Salferino, but the French rallied and broke through the Austrian centre, and won the victory. There had been a Te, Deznm at the church of Notre Dame, in Paris, and thanksgivings were observed in all the churches in France~ foar the victory obtained by the French at Solferino. Naval preparations on the greatest scale were being continued in France. Prussia has given positive assurance that the recent measures in regard to military preparations, &c., were not taken with a view to engage in.hostilities ; and says that France may rest perfectly tranquil on that score. Confidence has been somewhat restored in commercial circles, in consequence of these assurances. Further Particulars of~ the Battle of Solferino. AccoL'ors oP TUE FRE.Ncu PAPF.Rs.--CAv mtANA, June 25.-Still another glorious day was yesterday. 1 cannot give all the detail. of' the battle, as I do not yet know thema. 1 give a sketch of the facts that I know, for time will not let me describe them at length. When at Brescia, on the 20th and 21st, we learned that the enemy had abandoned Mon rechiaro and Castiglione. Consequently we advanced with the Emperor to occupy their positions. On the 2lth, we reached Castig 3ione at 9 a. in., and found a column prepared foir battle a half a league thence, with the Austrians, commanded by their Emperor in person, who, they say, bad promised to take them the same evening to dine at Milan and the next day to drown us all Ia the Ticino. I need not say that their army was formida ble. The attack, which was begun at Solferino, situated near Cas'tiglione and Lake Garda, one of the Mamnelon forts of the chain of the Tyrol mountains, was not mrnde without sen sible loeses on our side; for the two regi ments of the line, the 91st and 98th, as~ well as the 17th battalion of chasseurs, (1st corps,) had to contend against a force ten times su perior in number, and more advantageously placed on this hill, and entrenched in a strong town which crowned its crest. Our men btegan to fall back, overwhelmed by numbers, whenl the battalion of Chasseurs of the Guard and the iign first regiments of Voltigenrs, forming together & First Brig ade of the Second Division, came tdj their support. In full view of us they rushed upon the enemy, who was beaten down and driven away from his position. We followed, at a charge, with the bayonet, to the foot of a ravine, where there was another village. The firing beya from tlie windows and roofs, and it was here that we lost the most mn. Nevertheless we drove the Austrians Irom this village and from six or eight fine positions, which they occupied, on the hills that stretch along Lake Garda. Several vil lages were also taken. Finally, from constant firing, we had used all our ammunition, and we had nothing foyr defence but our bayonets and the stones that fell in our way. We made good use of them; but the enemy perceiving this, took advan tage of it to stop his retreat for a moment. Then the Grrenadiers and Zouaves came up to join us, and sustained the fire with their -mmU~q whilo e got freah -aannitiwn. This was soon done, and we pushed on at a charge, and they withdrew to the strong vil lage of Cavriana. There they placed them selves in the houses and the church-towers, whence they fired on us with important effect. But as soon as we got on the hill on which the village is situated, we made a horrible slaughter among them, and drove them back towards Peschiera. While the infantry of the Guard were per forming such fine feats on the mountain, the whold cavalry force, which only joined us within a few days, was equally active on the plain at our right, where they fought with the Austrian cavalry. The Emperor was in the midst of us, going from one point to an other,-without fear of the firing or the bul lets of the enemy, which were all around him. Ile encouraged us the whole day, and we had need of it, for we were exhausted with climbing and descending at a running pace, from 4 in the morning till 9 in the eve ning, and that in a tropical heat, without anything to eat or drink the whole time. To-day, as at Magenta, there is a suspen sion of hostilities, to bury the dead and re move the wounded. We have taken a great quantity of prisoners and many cannon. More over, we have all the best positions and we are on the Mincio. One or two more blows like this, I think they will have had enough. Tan ACBTaIAN AccorNTs- or SoLFURIS. The'Austrian accounts admit a loss of 20,000 killed, wounded and missing. The 7ight wing of their army occupied Bozzolengo, Sol ferino and Cavriana. The left wing marched on the 24th to Gurdizalo and Castel Goffre do, and, repulsed the advanc'.ng enemy. As the Imperial army continued to advance to wards the Chiese, the French, who had also assumed the offensive, with their whole force, pushed forward such large bodies of troops that there was a general engagement between the two armies, at 10 o'clock, on the morning of the 24th. The right wing was formed of the second army, under Count Schlick, who maintained the position first occupied until 2 o'clock p. ;ne., and the left wing composed of the first army, under Count Wimpssen, continually gained ground in the direction of the Chiese. Towards 3 o'clock the enemy made a vehement attack on Solferino, and, after several hours' hard fighting, obtained possession of the place which had been heroi cally defended by the 5th corp'd'armed. They then attacked Cavriana, which was courage ously defended until evening, by the 1st and 7th crp,, but eventually left in the hands of the enemy. While the struggle for Solferino and Cavriana was going on, the 8th corps which was on the outer flank of the right wing-advanced and repulsed the Sardinian troops; but the advantage did nat enable the Imperial Army to recover the positions they had lost in the centre. The 3d and 9th corps, which, supported by the 11th corps,4 were engaged on the left wing, and reserved for cavalry attacks, made several brilliant attacks. The unusually heavy losses, and the fact that the left wing of the-first army was unable to make progress on the right flank and the centre apinst Volta, led to the retreat of the Imperial Army. It began early in the evening, during a violent storm. AN Ezuuitsn ACCOUNT.-A correspondent of the London Herald says, so little did the French expect a battle, that on the previous night a message, received from the King of Sardinia asking for support in case he should be attacked, met with a refusal, on the ground that an attack by the Austrians was not pro bable. At day-break, however the corps of D'Hilliers came in sight of Solferino, and was immediately set upon by a large Austrian force and fought desperately. The Marshal resisted to the best of his power and sent off for support; but not before three hours of dreadful carnage had passed, did Neill's corps make its appearance. The Austrians were then slowly driven back and the French con tinued to gain ground, heaps of corpses mark ing the fluctuations of the fight. The Austrians were thus slowly driven out of Solferino, but all of a sudden they made a tremendous burst forward, and the French were driven down the hill. They were ad mirablysupported by their artillery, however, and made a stand andl commenced once wore advancing. It was like-a hail-storm of bul lets and balls, and whole tiles were mowed down by a single discharge. -In~ the meanwhile the right and MpIt-a. ofithe Anctrinnc =-- acraedly getting the best of it. The Piedmontese were slowly driven back. Canrobert's corps was also heavily punished, and had there been a skill ful general in the Austrian army, to collect and concentrate their forces against a weak -point in the enemy's lines, matters would have assumed a very ditferent aspect. The French commander sent forward the impe rial Guard and a strong division of infantry into the line against the Austrian centre, and succeeded in breaking it. Instead of bringing up forces to repel this formidable attack, the supports were sent to the left and right wvings, which did not need them. Des perate attempts were made to recapture Sol ferino, but the French held it, and presently the Austrian bugles commenced sounding a general retreat. An attempt was madle by eavalry to pursue them, which led to an en counter betwveen the F"rench Chasseurs and Austrian Hulans, in which the fornmer rapidly put to the right about, and retreated. It is stated that not a single liungarian regiment was allowed to take part in the bant tIe, and the italian regiments had all bieen previously pent into Tyrol. Over 20,000 corpse~s are said to have been bried on the day after the battle, and many more were left lying in the corn-fields and ditches. Sickles and his Wife. The New York Tribune of Tuesday has the following: WVe are credibly intormed from various sources that the Hfon. Daniiel E. Sickles has% become entirely reconciled with his wife, and is now living with her in marital relations as before the death of the late Philip Bartn Key. We are also assured that in taking this remarkable step, Mr. .Sickles has alienated himself from most if not all of those personal and political friends who devotedly adhered to him during his recent imprnsonment and trial. The reconciliation between Mr. and Mrs. Sikles was consumimated, as we are inibrnied, while Mr. S. was residing at the house of a friend on t he Bloomingdale Road, about half a mile from thme former house of Mr. S., whieb ,for some time past Mrs. Sickles has occupied, either alone or wiih some of the members of her own family. 'rho suspicious of his host were excited biy the repeated absence of Mr. S. at unusual hours; and when he came in very early one morning lhe was interrogated by the host and another fricnd who was pres ent, and on his positively denying their right to question hium, and refusing to give an explanation, they shook hands with him for the last time and ho withdrew. It is said he as since addressed letters to his former inti mate associates, notifying them formally of the resumiption of conjugal relatins between himelf andl Mrs. Sickles. The Storm on Wednesday. We were visited on Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, with a severe storm oh wind and rain, accompanied with heavy thun der and vivid lightning. We did not hear of any material damaige done. At the Bath Paper Mill in South Carolina, and about six miles below this city, we learn that the lightning played antip tricks, During the storm, a large fiery ball descadded, until just over the Paper mill, whedi it exploded with a loud report and flew off in all direc 3"i. Somie pieces, apparently, about the size of a ga' hand, skipped over the ground and on the surfa, of the water in thu canal, while other portions eigred the miill. No serious damage was done. On* 'na in the* engine room was prostrated-one rece..a shock on one of his feet--and another was struck bietween the shoulders. A ball of fire passed betwen two men who were not more than three feet apart, and while one was in stantly whirled around several times, the other received no shock whatever. It may be useless to add, that the operatives in the uiill were badly frightened. The Bath Paper mill is well protected with hightningpods.--Augusta Constitutionalist. gb The Oxford (?liiss.)

The anniversary meeting of the Aiken Vine Growing and Horticultural Association (says the Augusta Dispatch) will be held on Thursday July 21st. An address is t be delivered by Mr. H. W. RAvxzL. The public are invited to attend, and we would urge those who take an interest in Hor. ticultural matters to be present. Our Aiken friends are engaging In the cultivation of fruits and the grape, on a very extensive scale, and the results are proving highly satisfactory and profitable. An interchange of sentiments based on the expe rience of those engaged in similar pursuits, cannot fail to increase the general stock of information, and hasten the day when the fruit business will be an important interest as well as a popular pastime, among the planters in this section. Consistency,--Thsou art a Jewel! Ma. YAxcuv, in his Columbia speech, deplores the prospect of non-expansion by the South, and looking to that consummation says: " We must b~e content to exist, like the girdled tree, lingering out a feeble existence, in a short time to die under the infiuence of such a policy." But a little while afterwards, having occasion to exult ove-r the ability of our section to take care of itself, he also says: "We have eight millions of people educated to the use of arms. .trainmed-to self iei&ner~ with~~a rntireu-aowutrarg~oVernmuent princip tes, with as much real spirit anud manhood ats was ever pos sessed by anylpeople. We have unity of produc, tion, unity of institutions and a compact country. We have the great product without which tile world cannot do'. We are rich in all the elements of prosperity. When our fathers resisted the whule might of England, they were scattered along the seaboard of the Atlantic. They possessed no such good governuments as we possess ini our State tv ernments; they had no system of revonue such as we possess; they had no such arims, or means of maxnfacturing artus such as we possess. They were but three millions in number; they were divided even amuongst themselves as to the pro priety of their resistance, andi yet f-or eight long years they maintained the c'ntest with England, and maintainedl it triumphantly ; we, far different ly, far more lavarab.y situated, with nearly three times the number, with ahnust infinitely greater resource-s andi wealth, can defy a world in arms. We have one other power, a power never to be despise-d, always to b~e desired; it is the power derive-d from beaing right in our cause." Yet a section, thus fortified, thus blessed, thus armed, thus enriched, thus inspiredl, is to "' linger out a feeble existence," (if' confined to her present proud strength) "' a a uhort tinge to die under the influence of such a policy."

Of course our friend .is jesting as to the manner and matter of his interrogatory. He is too fair, not to apprehend that we do not occupy the position he ascribes to us. We did say "down with the Douglas," as he correctly reads us;-and we say so still, if any thing better can be done than to acept him. You may ask, what is here meant by 'any thing better?' We answer, the election of a sound Southern man would be vastly better. The election of a sound Northern mamni would also be better. The election of Mr. Bucit ANA would be better. The election of Mr. PIEn0E would be better. The election of many other tried men in the country would be better. But the ques tion which gives us pause is, can any such man be elected? We will be at once met with the charge of sacrificing worth to availability, of bartering principles for party -success. The imputation is denied in advanee. Our position is more than above-stated: Not only would the election of any such man as we indicate be better, but the union of *6 South upon such an one, elected or not elected, would be better. But in the event that the success of any such leader shall be out of the question, and when it shall appear that a large portion of the Southern delegates to the Charleston Convention prefer DOUOLAS to defeat, then come up the considora tions we have suggested bearing upon the course of propriety and policy to be pursued by South Carolina in that emergency. Will it be said, that it is at least indiscreet to present any view favorable to the promotion of DOUGLAS, until it shall clearly appear that he is the best we can get? The answer is, th'at it Is done (if the excuse be worth any thing) simply to meet another indiscretion In certain influential quarters. Let us briefly explain. A feeling of strong condemnation had been just ly visited upon Mr. DoUGLAs by the press of this State, having reference to his whole course upon the matter of the late Kansas imbroglio. With this feeling fresh in mind, he comes to be spoken for the next Presidency, as the possible nominee of the Charleston Convention; and it is natural that not only our press, but our people also, should reject his. name in this connection, and perhaps reject it wholly at first view. But a certain por tion of that press (whether any of the people or not, we are unprepared to say) go much further and maintain that South Carolina should not enter the Charleston Convention at all if there is a chance for the nomination of DOUGLAS under any circumstances. It is not for us, to blame these exponents of public opinion in this declara tion of sentiment. It was our own notion primo intuitu. But reflection has lead us to think differ. ently; and we now respectfully suggest that those who have given expression to the more extreme view in regard'to Mr. DOUGLAS are at least as in. discreet in doing this so far in advance, as are we in throwing out reasons that may require us to come ultimately to his support. It is earnestly to be hoped, that South Carolina will not become committed on this subject further than at present, either through her press, her pub lic men, her legislature, or her people in primary meetings, until she shall have heard more fully from her sister States of the South, more fully from the Democracy of the Union. Circumstances may transpire that will make it both undignified and impolitic In us, to refuse to go into the Char leston Convention on the ground indicated. Let us patiently await the developments of the coming autumn and wiuter. At the end of that time we can better judge what South Carolina should do in respect to the Convention. As grent a scape grace as SENA Ton DOUGL.As has come to be regar ded, he may yet turn out better than we imagine. He may yet entirely eschew the nomination, and co-operate in electing a Southerra man, if he be not too rudely thrown off in the South. Or if not that, it may come to be the only chance for the South (South Carolina with the rest) to elect the verita ble DorotAs himself to the Presidency of the Union ; and, after sll said and done, he might not pi-ove the worst choice the South could make. We haD~ .our corresnonrla'- ,'nw unlnrar~ wu~ tion, and we trust he will agree with us. As to his other query, "err/at more heave you to say for. Douglas ?"-wo answer, nothing. But be assured, it is not because there is nothing to say, There is much more to say (if it shall come to an issue between DorotAS and a BLAcK fR.PUnleAN) why the former should be supported by the entire South. There arc views to be advanced too which disrobe his political opinions of much of their seem. ing repugnancy. But it was net intended here to press their consideration upon the public. The single object had in view while penning the pre. sent and the preceeding articles on this subject, is to' offer a respeetf'ul word of caution both to the people, to the prsms, and to the political leaders of South Carolinn ; and the motive to this, has been a sincere desire that our beloved State should not rush precipuitatcly into a wenk position, and one that might pruve in the end hampering to her free and full~netion with the Sooth for the good of the South and for the common weal of the Republic.

For the Advertiser. The Camel. *Cor.. A. Szrxxrs-Dear Sir : Enclosed you will receive a letter addressed to me by Mr. B. W. Woos.s.v, of Alabama, in answer to one written to him requesting his opinion as to the uses and benefits of the Camel, among us for agricultural purposes. Should you deem the letter worthy of ublication in your valuable paper, you are at JOHN HUIET. AaTESIA, (Near Selma. Ala.,) July 2, 1859. MR. JoHN HUIET-Dear Sir: Absence from home has prevented my answering your letter of the 14th ult. I do not think the Camel will entirely supersede the mule. For many purposes I should prefer the former, especially upon your Mtrong~ land. They will not do as well upon slippery ground. In such ease the load must be lessened, and then the Camel moves very slowly-but cautiously however, and would scarcely fall. These came from a strong country, and will therefoere suit your lands. Tht hoof is found proof against the rocks of their own home, and also against the short flint rocks ol Western Texas. They cannot be offeredl here at $150. From S200 to $450 I am assured will not pa'y the original cost and the cost of transportation. That is $20C for yearling Colts, and $450 for full grown Camels from 7 to 9 years old. Intermediate ages between those limits, increasing in price as they increase in age, up to 9 years. For barcaking up and bedding your "strong and sandy " lands, you would find the Camel to answer an admirale purpose. They would pull a much larger plow than a mule, and plo0w the land deeper. Then for hauling purposes, two full grown Camels in good order, would draw as much as four ordi nary mules-or if you preferred packing them, yoiu could put on each Camel two bales of cotton, or a t wo horse wagomn load of oats, or 15 to 20 bush els of corn, and send in this way your cotton to market, younr oats to the crib, or your corn to mill. A great deal oIf the work on a plantationl, as you are aware, is light work, and it is desirable it sould lbe performed qjuickly-agech as running around cotton when young; I should prefer a mule, hserause [ could go closer to the cotton with a light plow than with as large a one as you would put after a Camel. In the Savannah RepuWeoan of the 27th May, you will find an artiel,. from me on this subject. I will add here, that J. A. Macbade, who imported the Camels which T have, will not bring over any more. A portion of his cargo is in Mohile, and for sale. Yours truly, 1IENJ. M. WOOL.SEY. For the Advertiser. Concert at Olive Branch Academy. Mln. Enton :--I enjnyod the plensant privilege of attending a Concert which was given at this Acad emy by the Students now under the instruction of Prof. T. P. MosPas, on Thursday. the 14th instant, commencing at 8 o'clock, P. M. In as much as it was anticipated that there would not he sufficient room for the audience in the Acndemy, they avsiiled themselves of the vi inity of the Church building in which the Con urt accordingly came off. Bunt, notwithstanding this provident measure was taken to accommodate the audience, still there was not room to make it comfortable. The assembly was not only a large, ht wss also an intelligent and fashionable one. The prelude to the exercises was a short address by hlr. Mosrs, which consisted mainly of two heads: First, " The ob ect of the Concert" was not to be a gere Idle entertainment, but, dosjgned for a more compiendable an~d nole puirpore, viz ; to be a full and isppartjal eghibuitiop of neguirepinents made in the science of Mui~jc by the 'young la dies put HndeF his chargo, before their parents, gardligns aug4 friend, to do yihich, it yill he readily- poneeds ys a duty inengabemut on eyery Tealhpf. Secondly, fle yery hfisfly, after Lbhp olil 1,geonic style, shuowed tha~t this t'oesigu of Muaie" was naturally to edify, refine anfd ennoble the qualitis of the heart: consequently, It was absolutely in dispensable to thg enjoyment of liib, for without it the entire face of nature would app~ear gloomy and cheerless. "'--~.xoecses next opened with a full burst of -'. '-..- School, so harmonious and music from the iin,,. '- ud iac. was at musical that the attention of in.s . once easily commanded, and continued so even -. the close of the exercises, thoaggh they were pro le-.at aIs~ta me.,d ?hs aan Lt Tha=dtee. ht-wever, did not neglect to avail themselves of the rare opportunity offered for social onjoyment, as there was a continued buzz kept up by a por tion of their number, during theperiods of relaxa tion, which formed a striking contrast to the deep silence preserved during the successive acts; while others gazed, lost in admiration at the pleturesque vimw before them, (as the actors seldom left the stage during the entire performance.) Several of the performers were quite small, but executed the pieces assigned them with a'compo sure and facility expected only of those far ex eeeding them in age. Indeed, the young ladies all did far better than we could have expected, as severul have been under the instruction of Mr. M. only a very short time. Since all acquitted them selves so admirably well, it would appear invidi ous to make distinctions further than to state that Mies E A., with her clear and melodious intone tion, made memorable those monesyllabic words, h-a ha ho, ha &c." Mr. M. executed the pieces he attempted after a very pleasant and effective style. The interesting as well as amusing performances were closed by the Misses D., who sang most beautifully that very appropriate piece, "W.ateh. man, tell us of the night," in the chorus of which all again joined. Ur. MosEs Is an accomplished teacher, a mas ter of his profession, and a worthy man-and we cordially thank him for his very entertaining Ex. hibition, hoping that his efforts may still he crowned with success. AN OBSERVER. Two years ago, says the Chicago Press, the place where the Church of the Holy Trinity stands in Chicago, was part of the open prairie. Within three months after o ening, it was found necessary, from the crowds that attended, to add two wings, and now the parish has just roofed a church wich for size and beauty of design is said to have no super ior :n the Western State; and the Western Banner has no hesitation in saying that in five years time every ward in the city will have its Catholic Church. In another part of the same paper it is claimed that the Catho lies are one-third of the entire population. . 4-6 RumoR oF A NEw POLITICAL MovEMENT. The Athens (Tenn.) Post gives currency to the following rumor: "'Rumors are afloat to the effect that there will shortly be a meeting of prominent Demo crat; of Louisiana, Mississippi,- Virginia, Ala bama, Georgia and South Carolina, to take cousel upon the condition of the party, and to discuss the expediency of letting the Char lesten Convention go by default. The party in the free States has become so thoroughly freesoilized that they utterly despair of elect. ing a sound Democrat in 1860, and regard a union with'the Southern opposition and the conservative men of the North and West, as the only means of defeating the Black Re: publicans in the Presidential contest of the approaching year. It is said the movements only await the termination of the elections in Tennessee and Kentucky. Should the op position carry those two States, of which there is now btit little doubt, it will immediately go forward." Rt OR OF A Duri.-We were informed by a gentleman' yesterday that all the prelimina ries had been arranged for a duel betwen 0. .Jennings Wise, Esq., of the Enquirer, and Patrick Henry Aylett, Esq., of the Examiner. It is supposed that the offence was given in an article which appeared in the Enquirer on Fridi.y last.-Richimond News. INTERIOR OF AFRICA.-A young French man, who has often visited the American Mis sionaries on the Gaboon river in Africa, in formed them of a recent excursion of hit up the river Nazareth, East of Cape Lopez. He peneltrated three hundred and fifty miles into the country and describes it as beautiful, the population dense, industrious and ingenious. Hie cr ossed prairies sixty miles long, covered with verdure, abounding with wild cattle and other animals. The people raise large quani tities of tobacco and also cotton of a n'ne qtia! ity, which they manufacture into cloth. BR UTAL MURDER IN FLORIIDA.-A corres pondent of the News writes from Hamilton onns y-Plorida,'under date of tha Sib i:nat., as follows: A most brutal murder was committed at Whits Spring, in Hamilton county, Fla., on the 1it inst., upon the body of Mr. 0. C. Leonard, Manager of H. Buckley & Co.'s Circus, by one Lewis Hlogans. It seems that Hogans was cursing, swearing and black guarding about the door of the tent, when Mr. Leonard approached him in a very polite and gentlemnanly manner and requested him to desist, as such conduct was offensive to the ladies; for no other cause he deliberately drew his knife and plunged it deep into the neck of Leonard, severing the jugular vein, from which he fell and died almost instantly. Hoganis was immediately arrested and regu larly commnitted to jail. THE BAvoNT.-The performances of the French with the bayonet in the present war ae waked up eur army officers to the im portance of drilling their men in the use of that weapon. Lieut. Gen. Scott has promul gated a general order to the effect that, as the subject of bayonet exercise and target practice for small arms has been almost en tirely neglected by the troop., especially the bayonet exercise, the General-in-Chief di rects that hereafter the' troops be regularly and systematically instructed in the full use of the sever'l weapons placed in their hands. TuE CnARlts'roN dURY CASE.-We copy the following from the Charleston Ecening Nees, o'f the 11th : " We learn thnt Judge Withers this morn ing fined Mr. Thomas M. Iliume $:,00, for having held a coniversation with one of tI e jnr in the case of the State vs. Mitchell, for te abd-:etion of a slave, and Mr. Charles E. Kanabaux, Deputy Sheriff, $100, for permit ting such conversation. Mr. Hlume promptly p aid, not only his own fine, bunt that of Mr. Kanapaux ; the Judge, in comimon with the wholecommunity, acquitting Mr. Hlume of any intentional violation of law or usage ; his remark to one of the jury being simply the offer of friendly service to him, in conse quence of his long confinement." AcTIVITY OF NAPOLF.O.-A private letter from the seat of war says that since the active work began Napoleon knocks up two horses every day, being in the saddlle from four o'clock in the morning; and some of his grooms have just reached Paris fo.r a new supply from thte imperial stud. His indefati gable inspectIon of all matters involving sup. ply, commnissariat and reinforcements, was the theme of'the whole army.
