- Linked down' on the dead on.l dying : '
And Uie wind passed o'er with dirgonnda
Where the young and brave were lying. ,

Ami the hostile dead around him, ,

And Umltmva'a icy sleep bud bound him.
A reeklesi rocer 'mid death and doom,
Passed a soldier, hia plunder seeking.
Careless he steps, where friend and toe
Lay alike in their lite-blood reeking.
Drawn by the shine of tbe warrior' sword.
The soldier paused beside it: . , ..,.
lie wronohad the hand with a atari s strength,
Hut tbo grnsuof the dead debed it-
lie loosed his hold, and his English heart
Took pari with (he dead before him. .
And honored the brave whndied sword in hand,
Aa with loftuned brow he lent o cr nun.
" A in.lilierVdeuth thou hast boldly died,
A soldier's grave won by it :
- Before 1 would take that sword from thine band.
Aly own lil' Mood should dye it.

Or the coward insult the gallant dead.
W itu ia lift' hath trembled before thee.
Then dug ho a grave in the crimson earth,
Where hia warrior too waa sleeping :
And he laid hiin there in honor and rent.
With his sword in bis own brave keeping I

Two men were killed from a flah in
the streets of Brooklyn, and a row of un

pale.
The latest Mexican advices report
Tampieo and Tuxpaw taken by the Lib
erals. (ienernl Lntnaland had deserted tbe
Imperialists' and surrendered to tbe Lib
erals. We have particulars of the buttle of
Sobotka by the Africa. It was a preat
affair, Bnd resulted in the complete de
feat of the Austrian.
The Prussians were commanded by
tbe Kin" in person. They met the Aus
trians, under Bt-tiedfk, between Ilorzitz
and KoninniU. The Wattle lasted twelve
hours.
Until 10 o'clock a. in. tlic battle was
favorable to the Austrian, but after that
hour the advantage was with tbe Prus
sians. At 2 o'clock p.m., after an ob
stinate defense, the Prussians carried by
storm the strong position of the Aus
trians, after which the Austrians were
quickly driven out of other positions,
and at 7 p.m. the Austrians were in full
i c treat to Konigratz, pursued by the
Prussian cavalry.
The Austrians were in a complete rout.
The roud was strewn with bapcage which
they threw away. The rn ruber of killed
and wounded on both sides was great,
but owing to the extent of the battW-field
it has not yet been ascertained.
The Prussians claim to have captured,
up to the evening of the 4th, 14,000 un
woand'.d prisoners, 110 cannon and sev
' cr.il Hugs. Three Austrian archdukes
are reported wounded. Prince Lichteu
stein and Prince Windischgra-lz were
taken prisoners. Gen. Testifies, com
mander of an Austrian corp, lost a b e.
Gi n. Countbume was shot in the heart,
and Col. Bender and another staff officer
were killed.
The Austrian account of the buttle
was telegraphed officially to tbe Kmpe
ror on tbe 1 Ith, by Gen. Bi ned. k, us
follows:
' Yesterday, at three o'clock in the
raorning,after a brilliant contest of five
Lours' duration before Konigratz. with
our centre at Lippa, tbe enemy, favu J
by the rain, tucceeded in establishing
Limself, nnperceived, at Chalmutz. Our
lints being thus broken through, we
were compelled to retire. The retreat
was pffeted composedly on Parduhitz.
Thelofar ot yet known, bnt they
are considerable."
The Prussian army, under tbe orders
of the Prince Koyal, altbougb. distant
from the ti.-ld of battle, succeeded by tbe
greatest efforts in entering in line in time
enough to direct the attack against the
riirbt wine of the Austrians, which act
decided the victorv. Tho King decora
ted the Prince on the Geld of battle with
tho order of militnrT merit
The Taris Fays of tho 5th says that
in Austria the people nre so discouraged
bv the success of the Prussians, that some
nro found sufficiently dead to all sense of
propriety as to designate as a traitor
'Hon. Von Goblcnz. whose corns was le-
Htrriyed ut Fontennu'. '- '.
The London Times of tho 5th gay
" The suddenness Mill' tnagnitudo of the
Austrian calamity is loo overpowering
for any man to speculate on the possibln
consequences on the destinies ol
the
Austrian empire. With the exception
ii few fortresses, of no more avail
of
in
modern warfare to stay tbe triumpl
unit
progress of u victorious army than the
numerous others have proved lo be, tie
Benedek bns nothing in his rear but
an
open country; nothing between him am
the capital but a vast smooth battle
field, where I he cannon, the cavalrj
and the dread needle gull of the Prus
ill have free lilav The Austrians
have done nil they could for the honor
of
their country and the safety of the Slates
and this can hardly be secured by a pro
binned resistance. The most illustrious
names of the empire are among the dead
iffld wounded ."
The lnily Xi'im dhows that the Prus
sinus not only gained the battles, but
strategical advantages of the. highest im
portance. They have concentrated eight
corns of their armr. and can pour in on
the oneiny with overwhelming fury, and
l ave cut off communication between the
Austrians and the Federal army in the
west.

o day a bill was passed, appropriating
fjO.tKMl for the Portland sullerers.
j In the Hoii ie, a resolution to adjourn

nnd interest of the U. S. debt. It also
authorizes the excess of gold to be sold

Trumbull olfered a resolution, recog
nizing Tennessee as a Slate, and as such
entitled to all guarantees and rights,
which was ordered to be printed.
In the House, Stevens offered a resolu
lion, the Senate concurring, that when
Congress adjourns, it adjourns to meet
on December 1st, unless sooner called
together, which power, in case of an
emergency, is hereby granted to the
presiding officers of both Houses of Con
gress.
Objections being made to considering
the matter, Stevens withdrew it, but gave
notice that he should offer it to-morrow.
Bingham called up a joint resolution,
reported months ago, from" the xecon
struction committee, providing for the
admission of Tennessee into the Union
Stevens opposed it by a motion to lay it
on the table, which was done. Bingham
then offered a substitute to restore at
once that State to its powers and rela
tions in the Union.
From Indianapolis.

TN THE SPRINU OF lfdlfi. Mr. U. II. CROSIIV COMPLETED HIS MAGNIFICENT .
1 Opt ra House, at a cost sf (! MXi. Owing to the great excess ol this expenditure over tho
original estimates, resulting from the enhanoed value of mnteriuls and labor during the war, ;
from modifications and improvement" auggusled in the progressed the work, wlncb wore neces
sary lo perfect his design, and from other unforseen causes which it is unnecessary to state, Mr.
Crosby became tin .ncially embarrassed, and only succeeded in his purpose of giving to Chicago
this'noble work of art at the saorince of his fortune. . m '
: This reverse having made thesalc of the property necessary, the friends of Art in tint and
Easterii cities have uiged the idea ol 'making its disposal the basis of a National distribution or
paintings and engravings, upon the Art I nion plan. The suggestion met with the approval of
gentlemen ol prominence in business circles here, and led to the subscription by a number of the

erous co-operation and support of the leading American Artists. 1 hey have signified their ap
preciaiion of Mr. Crosby's interest in Art. ami of his saerifices in its behalf, by contributing to
the enterprise many ol tneir linet works at such a largo reduction from the market valne ot the

lishers have earnestly joined with the Arli ts in a similar liberality, and have lurnishcd tha
platos and tho immense supply of engraving requisite tor distribution, at a price winch leaves
a most liberal sum as h compliment to Mr. Crosby, while the public will receive the engraving
ut a cost not greater than tbe regular subscription price. It is proposed to award tbe Opera ,
House aud paintings as premiums to the members ol the A'jciation .
