To these persons, :ts well as to all others vvlio expect it. we must say that it is simply out of the question for us to return receipts for remittances for subscription. It would involve upon us a degree of labor that would be t?nrr*?sonnV?b-. nnt\ l*es'utvs?Uogi*hpr ounce. es?ary. We publish receipts regularly in the paper, and the time to wliieh remittances pay is acknowledged through that source. Persons who desire it, can easily preserve the number of the paper which contains an acknowledgement of their remittance. It is equally as reliable as a separate receipt sent by letter and is a much less expensive arrangement for us. The War in Europe The gro.il battle which the world has been for some time expecting, between the allied armies and the Austrian*, has at lengm ueen Iougni. as win ne Seen l?V llic Kiiropcan news in another part of this pa- j per. The battle must have been a territie J j one, if we are t<> credit the accounts which st ile that upwards of thirty thousand troops t have been slain and wounded. These ae! counts, however, it will he seen, are somewhat unsatisfactory, the French claiming a decisive victory, and the Aiistiiaus report a 1 ser.es of conflicts with no definite result.? , Hut in the absence of the detail*, it is per- j fectly clear that some very sanguinary tight- . ing has been done, that not less than three j hundred thousand men were engaged, and ' that the allied foices, if they did not achieve ) a decisive victory, certainly had the best of | the fight. This is shown in the evacuation I of Milan by the Austrian*,and the entrance j into the same of the French and Sardinian I Armies. Milan contains a population of near two hundred thousand souls; it is the enpitol of Ijombnrdy, which is apart ot the I Austrian dominions. It is thought that the neutral powers of j Kurope will now interfere and endeavor to i cllert a specific arrangement between the I belligerents. If they succeed, there will of j course be lio more lighting ; but it is not 1 probable that Austria?haughty, imperious and powerful as she is, will consent to give i up her bayonet .sustained rule in the dispu- | ted provinces of l.oinhardv and Venice af trr one engagement, especially if it be true, as alleged, that she docs not admit herself to have boon defeated ; and it is not prolixble that a peace can be efl'ected upon any i either conditions than such as will oblige i lier to yield Iter claims upon these two pro- ( vinees. Then it* the war must proceed,, those neutral powers who will have prescribed terms of peare will doubtless be- : come parties to if. All of Gcrmnny and j probably Prussia will side with Austria ;? Russia will take the part of Franco and I Italy. The part that Knglnnd will act in the struggle is more difficult to conceive, j All are prepared, however, for a general 1 war, and i:i a very short time the whole of Knrope may bo in a blaze. The Piif.sidfncy.? A movement ip favor of Governor Wise lor the Presidency, lias been started by a number of his Democratic friends in Philadelphia.

C's., subject was "the History of Masonry," he eiitcrtajne i the audience for about .10 minutes, m a well prepared address, proving clearly that Masonry had arisen superior to the dark and malignant persecutions, of which ils earlv hWtory tells. Bro. \\ . M. Connors, whose su'Jeet was the "Defence of Masonry,'' was then introduced by the \V.*. M.'. He spoke of the three leading objections to Masonrv, viz : its being a secret society, it* interference with the church, and ils advantages being confined to one branch of thn human family- lie showed and proved clearly, even to the dark and clouded mind of an l\f>lir<iiniin< that these object ions were futile; his speech urn oiiiv'in crcuu l<? ll l III Mt*l I. till I retire It new lustre upon the tinier.
