Tfc Morgenblatt, a paper published ' . .. . l ..- 11 i A Stuttgart py we wcu-m.ow,, -'"' jHeOZSI, COmains a aeries ui leiirr.t uy u German officer in the army of Jellachih. They throw a good deal of light upon the modeia wbicli the war is carried on between the Hungarians and Austrian. The Wlowing interesting passages from these letters are translated by the 'New Tork Tribune.' In reading them it should not be forgotten that the sympathies of the writer are naturally on the Austrian side: I myself often find it difficult to understand that I ain still alive and have a -.whole limb to my body. The hardships I hare been through in the past few weeks the dangers I have escaped, are almost beyond my power of description. As I was always with the advanced posts which, by ill luck, latterly often were the Tear posts of our corps, and as for tiie most part I was on the move along witti my little troop, toil and danger were measured out to mo and mine in double quantity. I had long forgotten the appearance of a bed or a chair; and from the hour we left Pesth till day before yesterday, when we were forced to take n day's rest on account of the exhaustion of our horses the exhaustion of men is of course never thought of I had not . once taken off my clothes. How frightfully I look with all this! I could not help laughing when I first saw myself in glass: a long beard meandering in no ery ornamental fashion over chin, cheek s and mouth; my hair cut ns it happened by a hussar; a buck cloth over my lorehead to hide a slight cut I had received a j fcw days before from a Hungarian hussar: my long, white cloak covered with gray, black, brown and yellow blotches, variagated with stains of blood, and cut and Cierced by gashes, bullets and the firerands of bivouacs; my shako hacked and smashed; instead of my neat bootees, coarse water-boots, high over the leather Splatter-dashes of my trowsers; and not a jot of fringe remaining on my black and yellow scarf. My sword is all battered by the blows it has given and taken, and covered vith a thick rust of blood; mv favorite Ali, my noble war-horse, is worn thin as a cat, and is minus nn ear through j the cut of a sabre, but still fresh and reaily for new battles as thank God! bis master is also. My soldiers, too, hold j out well, but look even more like troop of robbers than I like a robber captain. For the rest, more than half of those I had with me at the beniniiing are either fallen or badly wounded, and my littl corps has had to be filled up twice. P.ut tho great empire has many people & what harm is it if we all go to the dogsf 1 he Kmperor always gets soldiers. Human life fulls low in value when you have tried a vear of constant fighting as we have done. As we are always in the immediate vicinity of the enemy, and often set up our watch hardly ft mile from his outposts, we have had, especially lately, as much lighting as one could desire. Scarcely a day has passed without our being beset lv the hostile hussars either in grand or moderate stvl le. and wo often bad this pleasure lor breakfast and then again for supper, and some days were nothing but ono continuous skirmish. t,enerally it was only a few sabre cuts that individual horsemen exchanged with each oilier, or carbine bullets that tho outposts sent from each side, or else the business was to carry out or to hinder some shrewd ambuscade Hut now and then the matter became serious, and there was sharp fighting and battles even, in which the crash of cannon came in to play its part. Then many a rider must change his seat on horseback for a long resting place in the cool earth. The greater battles were in part very bloody, for they were fought on both sides with 'tho greatest courage and

with indescribable animosity. Thus aCftrian hussars are very fond of, and j I o strengthen their claim a consul was Gyongvos I saw two squadrons of Kos- j went over to the hostile bivouac. As 1 j sent to the country by the Hritish Govern-Riith-Hussars charge thrice a hollow j approached the tire, the whole troop ment. who endeavored to get an acknowlsquaro of our infantry, twice the quiet, j sprang to their feet, in the most reveren-, edgment from the adjoining States of Cos-well-aiiued fire of the foot drove them j tial manner. There were about 50 men of . ta Rica and Nicaragua of the territory Luck; horses and men fell in platoons, but ! my former regiment. They saluted me , seized upon by them from the so called with a loud ringing shout of "Huzzah, LI- j just rs if I were still their officer, and thank- j Mosquito chief, with the promise of some jen, Eljen Kossuth!" they dashed up the led me gladly when I explained the pur-1 commercial advantages at the port of San

Alas, we could not lly to the help of our brave comrades, for at the moment we were engaged with an overwhelming forco of the enemy's cavalry. Though tit the end of the struggle we held the field, our loss was not small. It cannot be denied that the greatest part of i. . : .. .. I :..n..

cowardly Italians to these bold Magyars and death-daring Poles? To describe all the countless little fights in which I have been engaged lately, would be tedious. There were many mournful events and few agreeable. The gay spirits and excessive confidence with which we began Me war have disappear - cd, to give place to a manlier tone of mind. Merry war and drinking son"s are now seldom heard in our bivouacs. Lverv dav comes the news that th s or' that friend or brave comrade has met his : death from hostile bullets or sabres, or lies! dangerously wounded. When such announcements follow continually, tiie soul must at last become oppressed. I'esides latterly, the order has not been Forward, but Backward a sad word for the ear of a brave soldier.

A few days after I came together with the hussars of my former regiment in a curious fashion. The little fights and .skirmishes of outposts had been so con stant for many days, and so tiresome, especially for the horses, that both parties wanted rest, and a sort of a spontaneous truce arose between the flying-corps. We had set up our watches about 2,000 paces from each other, tolerably free from eare as to an attack, at least as to a surprise, for on that day everybody preferred resting to fighting. On our side the stock of provisions was very poor, and in the regions about there was nothing to be had. as the Magyars, according to their fashion, had carried olfor hidden or destrnved cvcrvthinir. I looked on disconsolato as my people got ready the eternal Mamaliga (corn broth.) At any rate tins is a toieratiie tain uisii, nut wnen you iave ua,l nothing else for weeks it is per fecll v disgusting, and I shall never forget it in mv life.

Read it, and ask yourself what manner of men are they, who with facts, like these before their eyes, undertake to prove, that the condition of tho Slave States is better, than that of the Free? fCin. Atlas. The great mass of slaves aro habitual thieves, dreading only detection; unblushing liars, flinching from no falsehood however shallow that seenrs to aid concealment; open adulterers, and shameless fornicators, improvident as tho savage that cuts down tho tree to get tho fruit; filthy as their African progenitors; crafty and ungrateful; having little family affection. They know no unions, or friendships or honor, save that which exists arnou-r thieves. There are inloed some amongst tuou (rarest of all, them honest, truthful, vir- ) provident (to a very limit ed dejfree,) neat, open minded , grateful, regard ful of family relations, and affectionate, but they are the "angel visit" exceptions.

I went to tako this tumbler from the dresser, to get Anna a drink of water, and let it fall."" I was in a fretful humor before the child came in, and her appearance, with the broken tumbler in her hand, didn't tend to help me in a better state of mind. She was sulferinga good deal of pain in consequence of tin; accident, and needed a kind word to quiet the disturbed beatings of her heart.

I was sorry in a moment that I had permitted myself. to speak unkindly to the tittle girl, for there was no need of my doing so, and moreover, she had taken my words, as I could see, deeply to heart. 1 had made her unhappy without a cause. Tho breaking of the tumbler was an accident, likely to happen to any one, and tho child evidently felt bad enough about what had occurred, without having mv displeasure added thereto. If I was unhappy before Jane entered my room, 1 was still more unhappy after she retired. I blamed myself and pitied the child; but this did not in the least mend tho matter. In about half an hour, Jane came up ! very quietly with Willy, my dear little curly-haired angel-faced boy, in her arms, ile had fallen asleep, and she had, with her utmost strength, carried him up stairs. She did not lift her eyes to tnino as she entered, but went, with her burden, to the low bed that was in the room, whero she laid him tenderly, and then sat down with her face turned partly away from me; and with a fan, kept olf the flies and cooled his moist skin Knough of Jano's countenance was visible to enable me to perceive that its expression was sad. And it was an unkind word from my lips, that had brought this ; cloud over her voung lace. So much for permitting myself to fall 1Rt a IretfUl mood. said I, mentally. "In i future I must be more watchful over my j state of mind. I have no right to make others suffer from my own unhappy temper." Jane continued to sit by Willy and fan him; and every now and then I could hear a very low sigh come up, as if involuntarily from her bosom. Faint as the sound was, it smote upon my ear, and added to my unaccountable frame of mind. A friend called and I went down into the parlor, and sat conversing there for an j hour; but all the while there was a weight j upon my feelings. I tried, but in vain, to be cheerful. I was too distinctly aware j of the fact, that an individual and that j a motherless little girl was unhappy thro my unkmdncss; and the consciousness was like a heavy hand upon my bosom.

I have been a child; and, as a child, have fieen blamed severely by those whom I desired to please, and felt that unkind words fell heavier and more painfully, sometimes, than blows 1 could, therefore, understand the nature of Jane's feel, ings, and sympathize wifh her to a certain extent. All through the day, Jane moved about more quietly than usual. When I spoke to her about anything which I did in a kinder voico than ordinarily used she would look into my face with au earnestness that rebuked me. Towards evening I sent her down stairs for a pitcher of cold water. She went quickly, and soon returned with a pitcher of water and a tumbler, on a waiter. Shu was coming toward me, evidently using more than ordinary caution, when her foot tripped against something, and she stumbled forward. It was in vain she tried to save the pitcher. Its balance" was lost, and it fell over and was broken to pieces at my feet, the water dashing upon tho skirts of my dress. The poor child became instantly pale as ashes, and the frightened look she gavo tne. I shall not soon forget. She tried to speak, and say that it was an accident, but her tongue was paralyzed for a moment, and she found no utterance. The lesson I had received in the morning, served mo for the purpose of self-control now, and I said instantly, in a mild voice: "Never mind, Jane, I know you could not help it. I must tack down the loose edge of the carpet. I came near tripping there myself to-day. Go and get a floor cloth and wipe up the water as quickly as you can, while 1 gather up the broken pieces." The color came back instantly to Jane's face. She gave me one grateful look, and then ran quickly away to do as I had directed her. When she came back, she blamed herself for not having been mora careful, expressed sorrow for the accident ami promised over and over-again that she would be more gua.rd.id in future. Tho contrast bet.vcen both of our ladings now, and what they were in the morning, was very great. I felt happier for having acted with duo self-control; and my little girl, though troubled on account of the accident, had not the extra burden of my displeasure to bear. "Uetter, far better, I said to myself, as I sat and reflected upon tho incidents just related "better, far better is it, in all our relations in life, to maintain a calm exterior, and on no account to apeak harshly to those who are below us. Angry words make double wounds. They hurt thoso to whom they aro addressed, while they leave a sting behind them. Above all, should we guard against a moody temper. Whenever we permit any thins to fret our minds, we aro not in a state to exercise due self-control, and if temptation comes then, we are sure to fall.
