Lynch Law in Napoleon.—We learn
from the officers of the steamer Jennie Whip
ple, from Napoleon last evening, that a party

body in the river. He had been warned to
leave the place within a given time, with
which order he failed to comply. Lewis was
a river gambler, and it was believed that he
was connected with the murder of Dr. Hard

partner barely escaped with his life, and

S' «E4rST 'Ca-'SSS ’
1 ANECDOTES AND INCIDENTS
or THE RECENT WAR IN EUROrE.
The Dead and Wounded at Sofferiuo.—
The losses are far greater than were at
1 first anticipated. They cannot be less
J than from 30,000 to 3.3,000, on both sides.
You can only estimate them after passing
over the whole length of the lines, in every
direction. In spile of the exertions made,
it has not been possible to find and bury
all the dead men. As for the horses, they
still lie about in scores, infecting the nir.
On the French side, the proportion of the
wounded to the dead is greater than usaul,
which is explained by the small projectiles
of the Austrian rifles. Most of the wounds
are in the head and limbs, which is in
consequence of the fight being on the
steep hills.
.Marshal Canrobert.—One of the epi
sodes of the baltlp of Solfermo is the severe
reprimand administered by the Emperor
to Marshal Canrobert, whom be accused
of not having taken a sufficiently promi
nent part in the baftle. The Marshal ex
cused himself by declaring that he had
scrupulously followed the Emperor's or
ders. “If all the other Marshals,” re
marked the chronicler, “ were to confine
themselves within these limits of obedience,
the Austrians would be much facilitated in
their efforts to expel the Allies from the
Qu'adrilalere."
Rare Sport.—A correspondent of the
Siecle says that one of the best shots in
Garibaldi’s service, is an Englishman,
fifty years old, who carries a capital Lan
caster rifle, and, aided by a pair of spec
tacles, of which he stands in need, brings
down every Tyrolian chasseur that he
takes aim at. Somebody lately asked him
whether he had been induced to join the
volunteer corps by a strong feeling for the
Italian cause, or by a love of sport. Ho
answered very coolly, “ I have a great re
spect for Italian independence, but I am
also very fond of shooting.”
The Turcos.—Mr. Raymond, editor ef
NT. v„.i. .r..— T.„l..
thus describes, those fierce warriors, whom
the French have called to their aid in Italy:
“ Beside me, in the crowd, stood two Tur
cos—those fearful and ferocious Arabs of
the French army. What hideous brutes
they are, upon close inspection! Dark as
our negroes, with low, retreating fore
heads, coarse, sensual faces, brawny arms,
and the activity of cats, they seem more
like animals than men, and fight from the
instinct which animates the tiger, rather
than the moral courage which is the attri
bute of man.”
A Historical Relic.—At Montechicro,
during the Emperor Napoleon’s halt, the
town council presented to him tho frag
ments of a pillar inscribed with the names
of French officers who fell on the field of
Castiglione. in 1796, and which had been
erected to their memory, by the French
Consul. The trophy had been knocked
down by the Austrians, in 1818, but had
been carefully collected and preserved by
those who recollected the kingdom of Eu
geno Beauharnais, in Northern Italy.
Orders were given for its re-erection, on
the old spot.
Count Nugent, of Ike Austrian Army.—
Among those whose talents and energy
age cannot obscure or diminish, Baron
Hess stands prominent, and Count Nugent
excites wonder. The Count, although
eighty-two years of age, was to be seen
in the centre of the action at Solferino,
either scanning the advance of the enemy
from prominent positions, giving direc
tions, or chiding lingerers. He remained
in the midst of the danger till the last, and
it was only at the tender solicitude of his
aids, that he was induced at last to mount
his little yellow pony, and quit the field.
During the night lie took no sleep, and
the next day he was out for eight hours,
reconnoitering the heights ot Rivoli.
Cpunt Nugent is the General to whose
energy liadetzsky owed it that he ob
tained timely reinforcements, in 1849.
He is a thin, white-haired Irishman, of
middling stature, whose voice does not as
yet tremble, and who possesses, ut four
score the activity of a man of thirty years.
It may he interesting to add that, notwith
standing his long service in Austria, and
the facility with which he speaks most of
tho dialects of the empire, he preserves a
rich southern brogue, entirely unimpaired.
A Spy.—A German, who bad been ar
rested as a spy, while the allies were at
Brescia, pretended.'to a council of officers
who were examining him, to be a mer
chant of Milan, and to have lost his pa
pers. A French Colonel suddenly called
out to him, “ Come closer—I cannot hear
you.” The accused obeyed. “ Now,”
said the Colonel, “ in doing that you
stepped off finely with your left foot—arm
to the body, by instinct—little finger on
the stripe of the pantaloon. You are an
excellently drilled old soldier, my friend.”
The man admitted it.
The Magyar Orator.—Kossuth’s fluen
cy in the Italian language is admired at
Genoa and Turin, as much as his English
orations were in America.
Heavy Guns.—It is said that the can
nonading at Solferino was heard at Trieste
a distance of one hundred and fifty miles
in a straight line.
The Press in Austria.—The morning
after the French occupation of Milan,
several journals re-appeared, which had
been suppressed by the government.
One had been suppressed five years, and
in the last number had promised the con
clusion of a story in the next. True to
promise, at the end of five years, the story
was taken up where it had been left off,
and concluded.
A Jewish Officer.—Lieut. Col. Salems
fe!d, of the Austrian army, who fought so
bravely at Magenta, is an Israelite—the
only Hebrew staff-officer iu that army,
in which twelve thousand Israelites are in
active service.
All Right.—A French soldier of the
Voliigeurs, who, in the battle of Solferino,
had his right epaulet shot away, and the
right leg of his pantaloons pierced, wrote
home to his mother, that “ the enemy did
not wish to do any thing to him but what
was right.”
A Heroine.—Among the wounded sol
diers who were conveyed to Vereelli, re
cently, was a young woman, a cantinieret
, belonging to one of the regiments, who
! received a ball in the thigh, at the baltlo
of Turbigo. Having seen several m lue
French soldiers fall around her, she seixu-J
a musket, char ;ed with the bayonet rgatttal
the Austrians, and continued to fight till
shot down. Iler conduct has been special
ly mentioned to the Emperor. It was at
first proposed to amputate the limb, but
she refused, saying, “I do not fear the
operation, but it will prevent me from fol
lowing my regiment.” She is now con
sidered in a fair way of recovery.
Capt. Bonaparte.—It is announced that
Capt. Bonaparte, ol Baltimore, escaped
without a wound at the battle of Solferino,
although in his reginent, (First Chasseurs
d'Jjfriquc,) one in four among the offi
cers, and one in seven among the soldiers,
were either killed or wounded.
--
-Ther are fifty-nine churches in the city
of Now Orleans—forty Protestant, and nine
teen Catholic. Of the Protestant churches,
fourteen r.re Methodist, nine Presbyterian,
eight Episcopalian, and only two Baptist.
One of the Presbyterian church edifices, (Ur.
Palmer’s,) cost one hundred thousand dollars.
-At Norwich. Cornu, on the 4th, a party
of juveniles paraded the streets with a banner
on which was inscribed the following words :
‘•Give us liberty, or give us confectioneries.”
