The French and Austrian Armistice. When Gen. Scott, in the brilliant Max- I icaii campaign, conquered his way to thegates of the capitol, and niado an minis i tioe with Santa Anna, under delusive I hopes of peace, he committed a blunder, j for which some of the best blood in the i country had to pay forfeit. Napoleon j III has conquered his way to the great ' , fortresses which constitute the strongholds ! of Austria in Italy, lie has madn an ar j ' mistime with tite Au8lr'an Emperor, and : ' the inference is not that he has made a ' 1 mistake, but that he is pr< pared to make peace and expects it, through the media- ' < lion cf England, Prussia and Russia.? I | Having just gained a victory over an im. ! mouse army, constituted of the best A us ( Irian troops?superior in numbers?on j?rcund chosen by their general ?fighting under lite immediate eye of thoir ambitious and popular young sovereign ? with that beaten army demoralized by defeat ?- his own army powerful and eager?It is out of the question to suppose that so sagacious a statesman and so able a gen eral as Napoleon hasshown himself lobe, ] would check his troops midway in a . a reer of unmixed success, recruit for over a tjpq:ub, lie has reasons for expecting a peace satisfactory to himself, and which will accomplish the objects for which the war was instituted on his part, viz :? To check effectually the power of Austria in Italy, while extending the French influence there. The armistice means moderation and looks to peace. It nullifies the idea of a desire on the part ot Nai'oi.kon to march on Vienna. It oilers every opt jiortunity for obtaining a pacific settle * ment without further bloodshed, and gives up time which would he valuable 1 in the campaign if the invasion and con ' quest of Austria was intended. It is these ' obvious facta so soothing to the fears of I England and Germany, which have can i sed the rise in Consols and the cotton , markets of Great Brilinn, and the good j feeling in the bourses of the Continent. It , all appears sensible enough. We trust the Austrian Emperor has gained wisdom by hard knocks, ai^l will now listen to and Interest.? Charleston Courier. ' I Native Grapes. We were shown, a few days since, l>y jDr. A. P. Wylie, some five distinct varieties of the Fox grape (vitis labrusca)? all of wiiicli are to be found growing in a wild, uncultivated state in the upper por lion of this District. Among those shown to us, were a very large purple grape, a large black and a small mottled grape? these in their appearance resemble the common muscadine, yet they are entirely distinct and different. Hut much the li nest and prettiest varieties were two del icate whit grapes?these were large and very nearly the same size, hut differing in form?one being oval, the other oblate.? Jlit; Jatter varieties are said to l>e very sweet anil pleasant to the taste when perfectly ripe. They are also a hardy and at the same time a prolific grape ? the bunches yielding generally from seventeen to twenty five berries, and the joints close ao<i frequent. We call the attention of those interested in the grape culture to the fact of the existence of such grapes in our forests. We have no doubt that they are worthy of cultivation, perhaps better jjian most of the foreign varieties which are now so much sought after.? Chester Standard. Koline Hkvknoe.-On Saturday afternoon, a rnan in lhe employ of a truckman, named Mnowden, residing in the Neck, was harnessing a horse to a wagon, having tirst punished the animal lor some cause or other. The horse went ijnietly between the shafts, when, as the man stooped to adjust the martingale, the iiorse hit him in the neck, making his teeth meet in the flesh. The horao adorned determined to inflict all the punishment possible, for after fixing his teeth in the (juivering muscles of his victim, he tore away the flesh f*oip the jaws, arteries and windpipe. The wound was a frightful one. Most fortunately for the sufferer, the arteries were not severed, or ho would have Lied to death. As it is, should erysipelas ensue, recovery would be highly problenii aticah Our informant states that the horse was not, vicious and not in the habit of luting. The animal fo't that lie had heen arbitrarily beaten, and sought bis own opportunity to revenge the indignity. Wo says that bru'es do not reason J -?Philadelphia North American. ACCIDENTAL.
