Foreign News.
"I'he Steamer .Niagara arrived at Halifax on the
13th inst., and has been telegraphed, she nailed the
,30th ult., and beings news seven days tutor
from Europe. .Cotton had advanced from one eighth
to one-fourth per pound, and money was
said to be abundant.
Affairs in France were far from being in asettlcd
condition, stringent laws had been adopted and enforced
to put down the Revolutionary clubs, and the
Ministry had introduced a bill restricting the liberty
of the press. This latter law gives a licensing power ,
10 ids ministry ana virtually destroys all independence
of the prcaB, arming them with the power of
suspending all journals attacking the constitution
or making appeals to the army. The Italian policy
has caused a dissension iu the Cabiuet and it
was thought some ofthe members would withdraw.
Two hundred oftho insurrectionists at Lyons have
boon arrested.
The city of Rome had not fallen into the hands
of the French as reported, but is gallantly defended
by her citizens, who fight with a spirit and determination
equal to their ancestors. Tho French
alter seven hours bombardment had succecded in
establishing themselves within the outer walls and
and up to the 24th ult had advanced no farther.
Tlie American Flag.
It must be a source of proud satisfaction to every
true American to knew the high estimate, and
commanding position the uations of the earth accord
to his nativo land. But a fow years since, our
magnificent country waa an unbroken wilderness,
where tho wild Indian roamed undisturbed by the
presence of the white man?But a few years since,
and the Filmim Fathers, driven bv nerseontion from
the land of their birth, crossed the tedious ocean
wave, to find a home in the .western world, where
they might worship the Doity according to the
dictates of their own consciences?But a few years
since/ fend the Thirteen wigkiai States throw off
the yoke of oppression and declared themselves
free, sovereign and independent. And now the

Thiwe thoughts have been sueeested by seeing
jn the laid news from Bomo, the HUitcinent that the
Russian, English, German, aud other foreigners
had implored Major Cms, our Charge to that
Government, to take thom under his protection.
From this it will be seen the erfalted position our
country occupica abroad, that thousands of miles
from home, the American flag is a shield to those

Celebration of the Sons of TernFEBANCE.
I
The 11th inst., was celebrated by the
Abbeville Division Snn? nf ?
?v. * vui|fVIUUVC il?
tlieir first Anniversary. The day promised
anything but pleasant, as rain Fell :n heavy 1
and frequent showers until about 10 o'clock,
when the sky brightened, and with it the
friends of the cause, and the old adage " that
a bad beginning makes agood ending" was
' literally fulfilled. At 1*2 o'clock the Court
| House was well filled by a very respectable
audirnce of ladies and gentlemen. The
Division was particularly favored with a
large number of the former, who turned out
in SI 1*P. north n t\A Vonuli* A ?1
... vvuuijr. XX guuu iiuiuutrr
had come in from the counrry. and the
Cokesbury and Lowndsville Divisions were
represented, especially the latter showed
their strength by their number. The Rev.
Mr. Turner, being requested by the Division,
kindly opened 'ho proceedings of the
day, with prayer. Then was sung the
beautiful Temperance Song, "Speakers,
Tell us of the Nioht." when vvnrp nrpconi. I

and beautifal Banner and niWo

LI. A. Jones, BJsq., ncied in their behnlf,
and was "replied to on the part ot' the Division,
by Charles H. Allen, Esq.
These gentlemen had but a short notice
of their appointment, but acquitted themselves
to the satisfaction of all, by their brief
but appropriate addressee. ^
Mr. George Allen, then delivered an
able and eloquent Address, whitfh was lis
leneu 10 wun proiound attention by nil present.
As the Address wilMbon appear in
print, we shall nut attempt ^ synopsis of it,
but request those who had not the pleasure
of hearing" to give it a. reading. So long as
Temperance and the Sons, have such advocates,
the cause cannot suffer.
After singing another Temporaries oTe
to the tune of u Oft in the Stilly Night }?' the
Indies were escorted to the basement of the
Court House, where was spread in great
uounuance, me prooucis 01 me garden and
the field. No one, who has a good taste for
a good dinner, could find fault with the repast,
the liberal contributions of the Villagers,and
of some in the vicinity.
The< Toasts then came oft* and the day
was unusually agreeaole; the ladies 4o
judge from their approving looks seemed
to pass tneir time very pleasantly, and at a
late hour of the day the Temperance jubilee
ended, with not a scene to mar its harmony
of action, and its satisfactory progress
throughout. - - .
At ihe reading of every two or three of
the toasts, Professors Broome .and Belimonte,
contributed to the diversity*of the
day by skillfully performing various.Duetts
and other pieces of a^usic, deserving our
thanks for their Uindno^as ihey would accept
of no remuneration "j{br their services.

Constantinople.?At a meeting held of i

near statements respecting the progress in
missions, Rev. Dr. Dvvight, recently from
Constantinople, said, that the moral change
in that city was truly wonderful. A dozen
or fifteen years since, ho had not expected
to see all religions protected hy the Sultan !
The enmity to pure Christianity, when he
first went there, seemed universal, among a
million of inhabitants.
Since then, Germans, French, and En
!ish, ns well as Americans, friendly to our
Mission, had settled there; and these, as
well as the Foreign Embassadors, bad favored
correct sentiment, and allayed TurkThen,
femalo"educaiton was unknown
and prohibited. Now the Mission had a
flourishing Female Seminary, and there
were eight or ten other female schools.
Now, too, they had a seminary lor the
Christian instruction of young men, who,
in talents, standing, and prospects of influence,
were equal to any in that country.
They had also a church of about one
hundred communicants, who seemed growing
in piety, intelligence, and influcncc,
among the people. And it was un inter- |

Buiiying Alive!?The St. Louis Union
of the 29th ult., relates an occurrence oT a
Mr. Schneider, living near the corner of
Carondelet Avenue and Lafatte street, who
came very near being buried alive. It
scums mui iYir. Schneider was seized with
the cholera, and his friends presuming at a
certain stage of the disease that he was
dead, his body was at once transferred to n
coffin and hurried oft* to the grave-yard.
On reaching the cemetry last evening, and
just as the coffin was on tho eve of being
lowered into the ground, a knocking, was
heard from the inside, which caused those 1
around the grave to remove the lid. Upon
this being accomplished, Mr. Schneidcr was
discovered to be nlive, and of course taken
home. It is said thnt he is in a fair way of
recovering his health entire. This should
act as a warning to persons not to be so
rapid in committing the bodies of their
friends to the gravo after death /s supposed
to have intervened. YVe fear thai
this is not the only instance of the kind
that has transpired since the epidemic has
been raging in our midst.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 13th
ultM relates as follows:?
' The body of a victim of cliglera. was
placed fn the vauij of one of our grave yards,
where.,it remained about 24 hours, when
in presence of friends and relatives it was
taken out for burial. Some of the relatives

of the corpse was found to be hideously dislorted~bis

Herald of the 6th instant says:?If the

the Chinese and English can he avoided.
| Accord'ng to the treaty of peace entered

THE GREAT HUNGARIAN VICTORY,
The continental papers give various accounts
of the victory of the Hungarians
over the Austrians and Russians. The N.
York Tribune translates an account from
the Kolnische Zeiuing, a very moderate
paper, of the 21st of June, the very latest
received from Germany. It says :?
The news vve have to-day received from
the scene of war is extremely favorable for
the cause of the Mugyars. The great bat.1
t.-r . . -
r i.c wo uuiuru conjectured would take place
on the 14ih or fiftoenih of June, near
Flochstrnes, is now said to have come off at
that very place and time. A number of
letters have reached us from Vienna, and
all agree as to the following particulars:?
"On the morning of June 14, there began
along the whole line on the right bank
of the Danube, frotp Wieselburg to the
Lake of Neusiedl, a general batl'e between
the armies of the Russians and Austriana
there encamped, and the Magyars. The
struggle was distinguished by unheard of
fury on both sides, lasted sixty-four hours

most complete defeat of the imperial armies.
Twenty-three thousand Austrians and
Russians and eight thousand Hungarians
lay dead on the battle-field. The imperial- f
isis lost their whole artillery, and turning in
wild disarray, fled in the direction of Vienna,
followed by the holly pursuing Magyar
hussars. On the Hungarian side Genef&l
Anhur Gorgey and General Guyon commanded
: the imperial forces were led by
Lt. Field Marshal Hayman and the Rnssiwhich
hi\s just reached us from Vienna, and
another letter just shown us from a great
banking house of the same city, is almost
verbatim to the same purport. Our regular
Vienna correspondent, hs well as our
correspond tut at Presburg, from both of
whom we have received letters up to the
16th, give us no news whatever in relation
to this important battle, except that on the \
14th the continuous roar of cannon was
heard in the direction of Raab, and that the
report < f a great defeat of the Imperialists
was circulating at Vienna. YVe must.
however, say in regard to this, llmt for some
time past nil our letters from Presburg have
been opened, and when they contained
news unfavorable to the imperial causet
suppressed. For this reason our correspondent
writes with all possible caution,
and for the most part forwards his lel'.ers by
travellers, whereby they often da not reach,
us until they have become old.
According to the old and new details of
intelligence which are before us, the 14th of
June was fixed on as the day when operations
should be opened on both sides. The
plan of iho Hung?ri:in< hnrt for como diiys
been^known to be by overwhelming attacks
of cavalry on the two extreme wings, noar
Oedenburg and Trentchin?-lo compel the
imperialist lo break up their centre, and in
this they seem lo have been perfectly sue
crssiul. Whether the attack of Schlick's
corps cast of Oedenburg, which turned out
so badly for the Austrian?, were only tlm
opening, or, as it were, the overture ofiho
great buttle of which our Vienna letters
speak, or whether the defeat of Schlick was
only the cause of exaggerated reports ol a
universal defeat, we shall know with certainty
in a few days.
