The Vanderbilt arrived at New York | on Sunday morning bringing the English 1 mails to the J22d June. in relation to lite war movements, it | may he summarily Muted that the Allies j and the Austiaus were confronted on the i line of the Mella and Mincio; the French Emperqr a.t'd the King of Sardinia having fiivevr headquarters at Brescia, and the Kmperor of Austria holding his at ! Villa Franca. (Jariabftld was operating in front of the Allies. An Austrian force | .bad occupied the pass of Stelvio. On the ] .side of the Adriatic every arrangement was nearly completed lor naval opera tions against Venice and Pola. A body of Papal troops, sent to repress the icvo't .n the Legations, had encoun tered the popular party at Cerna, and a sharp conflict bad ensued. The <King of Sardinia had definitely declined to accept the .sovereignty of the revolted provinces, which a delegation from Bologna had tendered him. The Forthcoming Operation*.?The expected battle on the Minco is tin; topic which now engrosses universal attention. The Xord of June 21 says : We are on the eye of great events.? The two armies are face to face. All the corps of the Austrian army rue concentra tiug uj?on the line of the Minert). The provinces of the empire have been denuded by troops, and the last columns are arriving by forced marches upon the scene of the contest. The Austrian armv has chosen its position. It occupies a line on the other side of the Chifse, the cen. A / ? - ? " - ire oi winca tests upon the heights of I Castiglione, before l'eschier.i. The ii??!it wing extends to Lotialo. the left to Cas tel Gott'redo. On the 17th the jfimperor Francis Joseph reviewed rhe two corj>s ! d'urnue encamped at Lonato. The allied arums follow the eneinv step by step, combining their movements. I It is possible that the pivot of their posi tion will be the bourg of Monte Chi&ro, evacuate 1 precipitately by the Austrian rear guard. A French corps is advan i cing by forced marches in the Valteline, where the AdsLrianc made a feint of des ' rending from Horinio to threaten the rear 1 of the allied armies. The ground chosen bv the Austrians for accepting battle has been well studied i by their generals ; tliese positions served | Itahitually for the grand manoeuvre* of i the autumn. The latter fact is not ignor J cd at the French headquarters, and pre cautions have been taken accordingly. The game. then, will be played with | equal chances?a terrible game?without j precedent in the military history of modern times." Tire I^oril also says : "The L) ?y before yesterday i'rince N'a poJcou v> is to enter Modena. liy this tune military operations have commenced in the Adriatic upon the cost of IbtlmaXia. It is stated that the Austrians, while Jie French army marches to the Mincio, wish to direct a body of 50,000 men by the Tyrol upon Milan, but it is not very likely that the Austrian Generals will try one of these bold manoeuvres to which they are so little accustomed. In any case precautions have been taken." [ Cor respond mce of the fjomion 77//;t.?.| I'a it 18, Mr inlay, Juno 20?0, P. M. 'W?! are i daily expectation of news of A battle on tlie Mincio?a great battle, which, it lost by tlie Austrian*, may hasten the solution of tho great question at issue, and dissipate the delusion that they can continue to held f,orot>nrdy as before. The famous fortresses will, we are told, not long stand out against the rilled can. ;ion ; at least, such is the opinion express Oil bv persons who, were not their nation* al feelings enlisted, would be very good authority on such a question. Should a battle then, be lost by the Austrians on the Mincio, it is thought or hoped that tlj.e Neutral Powers may try to bring about an armistic with a view to an ulterior arrangement. There are various versions, or rather conjectures, as to the patnre ot this arrangement. One is that Austria will he induced t<> abandon her claim V> Lornbarlv, which will be annex* ed to Piedmont, and that Venice will be declared a tree city, with a portion of tor ritory as far as the limits ot Lombardy.? In this manner the Noith of Italv would be rescued from the Austrian* from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic There are various other plans spoken of, nerhaps with no greater foil ml at* on. The attention of every-Irody is filed on the expected battle of the Mmcio?the Mincio, which is regarded as the Kubi/cc;i of the modern C/pnr. w Concerning the Mineiof we find the following information translated from a Paris Journal : From Peschiera to Mantua the course of the Mincio is about six leagues as the crow tlies ; in that limited space a pns sage must be forced. To attempt this operation there are certain points nam ...m.. :..j: ? .-j i * - 1 ?.?nj iiiuiLiuH . i>v wiejr position. in fact the principal condition lo secure tho <lebauche of any bridge thrown over a river, i in to drivo the enemy awav from the op- < fioaite bank. It ia not difficult to imag- < ine that if a apof, i* found in the course c e river whflre, orj the one hand, the I t pte v ttrMil forms an angle towards the at t <*ENW* party, and, on the other, the. t )|lVlfwJfc lii|]['l enough to command the a bank Copied h? the enemy, It would I r be a groat advantage to attempt the pas Rage a I such a point, because a plunging fire could the# bo concentrated on the en* emv placed in the middle of a sernicirclo of batteries. Now, the course of the Min ci<> presents to an army wishing to force its passage, from the Milan side, only two point* combining these advantages?at Mozauibauo and Vulta Ou these two points the stream makes an elbow, pointing to the West, and the ground on the right hank is considers! biy higher than on the other. These two points were therefore chosen in the wais of the lievolution, in 1790 and 1800, and also in the campaign of 1848, to force the passage ol the Mincio. More over, the possession of two fortresses like i'esehiera atul Mantua, on so short a line, renders its defence easier, for I lie enemy have their wings perfectly supported, and can debouch unexpectedly from either of Llose fortresses. However, history teach es us that for an army well commanded the passage of the Mincio is almost a certainty. The Austrians could not pre vent Bonaparte from crossing it in 1796; nor Brune in 1800, notwithstanding tile sanguinary battle fought by Jiellegardo ; nor the I'leumonte&e army in 1648, which forced the river on three points?at Goe to, Mozambano and Borghetto. The pas sage once effected, the conquerors are in the centre of the quadrilateral, and of tlie places which form its own corners?Pes chiera, Mantua. Legnago and Verona ; and being so will have most probablv to fight a pitched battle to force the enemv back." tircilar. To the Pastors and Congregations of the Various Denominations of Protestant Christians in South Carolina : At the last Annual Convention of the Bible Society of this State, Kouth /Caroli iih was unanimously pledged by her as setnbled delegates, to raise five thousand dollars for the distribution of the Bible, through the American Bible Society, in foreign countries. The undersigned were appointed a Committee to address the State at large on this important subject. The facts which induced this resoluti* u and now from live basis of this appeal aie as follows : Intelligence lias l>een received by the Parent Society that there are not a few places in the West Indies and in Spanish and Portuguese America wheie the Bible can be profitably circulated, to the removal of sur purs tit ion and error, and the salvation of souls.

This leaves two offices in this District, llntler and Dudley, wholly onsupplied.

Within these four points, em bra eing no ares of not much less thr.n half of ^ Iatncaater District, there is not a solitary office ; and how far the mmio destitution extends beyond the Kershaw nnd ('hosier- j field lines, we nre unable to say. We only estimntcd the distrnce on the South nr.d Knst to the District lines. It can easily be seen thst this section of country, which is the most populous por- I lion of our District, was but poorly provided for when it was allowed two offices;! but now it has no parallel, we imagine, in any Stale in the Union enst of the Mississippi river. It would he singular, indeed if the people of that large scope of country were to content themselves under this unjust nnd tyrannical deprivation of their right>-.

Tho increase fvr the single year has been as fol - i lows : Slaves : '2,203 ; Sales of gomls . ' 'lf!9.949 ; Value of Town Lots : 377.43'J. ; Mr. Frean says, that believing it would he interesting to the people of every district to have some otlieinl evidence of their growth and prosperity within the last thirty years, ho has imposed upon himself the pleasing duty of preparing a tabular view on the subject, for each decade within that period.
