from the foreign news by the Steamer America It will be seen that the victory achieved by the noble Hungarian was most complete The meeting cf sympathy in England is ominous The Engliah government look with a jealous eye to the movements of Russia and Austria and although bitterly opposed to the spread of re publicanism would do nothing to increase the pow er of Russia or Austria The President of the rench Republic (J would sooner aid a monarchy than a people striving for liberty: rance Serious Division in the Ranks A serious division exists in the ranks of the majority of the Legislative Assembly The Legitimists are determined to recede from the ranks of the Bonapartists and Orleanists and form a seperate party Articles which of late appeared in the Le organ show the tendency of the Spar tan faction on the part of the Due de Bordeaux and give tokens of the existence of an extensively organized Legitimatist conspiracy It is said that the troops ordered to embark for Italy and countermanded after the announcement of the surrender of Rome are now to be re embarked for their original destination The rench Government received a Telegraph despatch dated 23rd announcing the surrender of the fortress Rastadt The Prince of Prussia entered Rastadt at the head of regiments Important Meeting in London to Sympathize with Hungary A large and enthusiastic meet ing was held in London to express public sympathy with efforts being made by the Hungarians for the achievement of Independence urging upon the English Ministry the recognition of that Govern ment de facto It is mentioned that a Quaker mo ved the first resolution which proved that the efforts of the friends of Hungary are fully appreciated Some speakers instead of mincing expressions of sympathy proposed aid to the Hungarians by taking arms against Austria The scene which ensued baffles all description The whole assemblage rose as one man and gave a war yell with tremendous force The petition adopted byu a Lnnn inid before Parliament and elicited an interesting debate on the affairs oi Hun gary AreTDn 'n rom a bulletin from Prince Paskewitch published in the Zietung it appears according to his verison that a sharp en counter occurred on the 7th at or near Wartzen between Georgey and the Austrian Generals Sass and Remberg The bulletin states that on the 15th the Hungarians marched upon Wartzen then occupied by the Russian regiment to former orders fell back as the enemy advanced At night Georgey occupied a strong position be fore Wartzen The army estimated at 43000 men and 120 pieces of artillery was attacked by the advance guard of the Russians under Sass but his powerful artillery foiled all attempts to dis lodge him The cannonade of both sides was severe The Hungarian Cavalry executed violent charges upon the Russians on the posts On the 16th the main body of the Russians army was brought up and on the 17th attacked Wartzen notwithstanding a desperate resistance the Hun garians were compelled to evacuate the town with a loss of two standards two cannon and 500 prison ers In the course of the pursuit it was found that only the rear of the Hungarians had been engaged and that the main army had marched North to Rudigaz with cavalry despatched in pursuit of the Austrians Gen Ramberg hearing at Pesth of the defeat of the Russians left that city and has tened to their support and succeeded in stopping the progress of army He eventually fell back upon Wartzen The body of the Rus sians army mean while came from Rambus and its strength was brought to bear upon the Hun garians flank and rear by which means a great battle took place ending in the defeat of Dem army while Georgey had taken his division to the North and not to Comorn as was generally understood It is thought that Georgey will turn off to the East and march to Rae The Austrian commanders in chief had advanced with his main army to Pesth leaving his main division in the Island of Hoik and the division un der Generals Grabb and Schleek are on either bank of the Danube to lay siege to the fortress of Comorn TWO THRESHING A CH INES oftbe nxr proved manufacture on hand and for sale cheap jylfi

Press Sirs inding myself in this distant part of the Great West and believing I can give your readers some information that would be useful in these times of excitement and emigration I venture to make the effort We are in lattitude between 41 and 42 deg North on the Missouri river (east side) about 20 miles above the mouth of the Platte river in as beautiful a country as hills ravines and pra ries with rich soil can make The spring and sum mer up to the 5th of July has been very wet bur every kind of crops I have seen growing promise well winter wheat is now harvested in some cases damaged withjrust Three years ago Indians were the only inhabitants in this country at that time the Mormons came here went to the west bank of the river built a village made a largo farm raised one crop when the Potawatamie Indians were brought out on this side and the Oinahas being in full pos sion and troublesome on the west side they the Mormons abandoned their improvements on the west side and crossed back to the east side again where they have put in cultivation many farms built mills and made other and valuable improve ments and their numbers have increased several thousand The country is yet unsurveyed the Mormons only stop here to raise grain and cattle to further them on their journey to the valley of the Salt Lake for which there have several hundred waggons started this spring and are still going as the last trains have just crossed the river There have also started from this place several hun dred waggons of California emigrants and one large lot of goods from St Louis in about seventy waggons for Salt Lake to trade with the Mormons destined to be the great starting point for western travelers for several reasons first I you have to make this far north to get to the pass in the Rocky Mountains second you can have bet ter roads in Iowa than you can get in the inaian country on the other side of the Missouri the streams not being so difficult to cross thirdly you have inhabitants nearly the whole distance if com ing by land and transportation nearly as cheap if coming by water and the river although bad to navigate on account of snags is as safe to this point as any below fourthly you are advanced some 200 miles west of other starting points as Independence St Joseph Gen Willson and suite as Indian agent for all California himself of Missouri took this route which argues well for it If traders from St Louis and all Missouri take this route others certainly may Previous to this spring it was feared that sup plies could not be obtained here but this need no longer exist as boats can always come up the river before emigrants can start on account of the grass and there was very little difficulty this spring in ob taining the necessary outfit This village called Kanesville ie four miles from the river among the Bluffs as the saucy nature of the river banks and their tendency to wash away renders it hazardous building near it On the bot toms is a thriving place one year old numbering some 200 log houses Lumber is very difficult to obtain I purpose to remain here a year or two and shall be happy to communicate any intelligence or greet as manv of my old friends as are disposed to call or send We have four stores and every kind of business is good We have but a weekly mail but hope for some speedy and frequent arrivals by and bye There have arrived here three trains from Salt Lake this season the first consisted of eleven men: no accident except the drowning of a mule the second three men they were robbed of all their horses and baggage by the Snake Indians The third company numbering nine I have not heard of any accident to them whatever They report a constant string of waggons from above ort Lara mie nearly to the Missouri river Some cases of cholera with those starting below here and a few deaths If there was much emigration intended next spring it would be well to let it be known to this part of the country so that such supplies as are needed would be collected for thoir early start west either oxen mules or southern horses are good for teams More oxen are used than other creatures as they do not stray and are not so easily stolen by the Indians There is not half the dif ficulty in the journey that many suppose In wet weather the prarie roads are muddy in dry they are very good Emigrants generally take too much load ing especially those going with waggons A small amount of clothing a few cooking utensils and some provisions is all that is needed to this point: except blankets those all should have No tools or extra yokes spears or levers are needed as you are in good settlements and a fine country until you ar rive here however on a part of the road this side of the Des Moines river settlements are sometimes forty miles apart none further Cross the Des Moines River at Eddyville then to Pisga an Indian town on the Nisnabotany river then to Council Bluffs the country is somewhat hilly west of Pisga the road generally passing on the summit of the ridges and generally good most of the streams bridged Persons cannot conceive a more beautiful country than is here in view We have just learned that a gentleman of Mis souri is about to place on the river Missouri a steamboat to ply as a packet from here to St Louis and to be used here as a ferry boat in times of most emigration The weather

It must be admitted that the aboli tionists have become progressive Only fifteen months ago they stood on their one idea without attempting to interfere with the old parties Now they have progressed so far that they undertake to dictate to both parties They are determined to rule ar ruin and have suddenly taken to liking the spoils They refuse all union unless two thirds of the offices are apportioned to them This is the age of progress An unwarrantable charge The Grand Rapids Enquirer charges us with attempting to defeat the nomination at the coming convention of a certain distinguished Democrat for the office of Governor!

We are indebted to Mr Wilson Editor of the Chicago Journal who was a passangcr for the fol lowing particulars of the loss of the steamer Em pire State on Lake Michigan Thursday morn ing last The Empire Slate left Chicago at her usual time and after touching at Milwaukee and She boygttn had on board about 100 passengers On Wednesday night the wind commenced blowing from the Northwest and before midnight it had increased to a gale The waves beat with great fury upon the larboard quarter and at 3 she was discovered to have sprung a leak The pumps were set to work but the wa ter gradually gained until the larboard fire was put out and the firemen stood to thier knees in water At this time when twenty five miles dis tant from land and was determined to abandon the attempt to reach the Manitou Islands and she was headed for the beach as the only alternative to prevent her sinking Notwithstanding the utmost exertions of passen gers and crew (together with the bilge pump which discharges 1800 gallons per minute) the water continued to gain until one after another of her fires were put out and the engine was enabled to make but six barely enough to pass the centre She was rapidly nearing the land however and when a quarter of a mile distant but two of the fires being submerged the engine was stopped on its centre The jib was still raised and at about 12 and 30 minutes she struck on the Michigan shore about three miles below the and nearly filled with water After remaining 24 hours on the wreck the passengers were taken off by the Propeller Delaware Capt Tuttle and to this City this morning The Empire State lies in about nine feet water Her guards aro badly broken and her upper works materially damaged The bolts which secure the arches to her hull are driven up and project above some 6 or 8 in ches giving the idea that her hull is also wrench ed and twisted The mate expresses the opinion that she cannot be gotten off Capt Hazzard and her officers
