the Emperor Napoleon, and the Austrians under the Archduke Charles. It was one of the most tremendous conflicts of which there is any account in the history of the world. It was fought by 300,000 warriors, in sight of as many eye-witnesses; for the battle field lay in full view of Vienns, and every steeple, roof, and window, that commanded a sight of it, was crowded with spectators. From an early hour in the morning until late in the evening the earth trembled beneath the incessant roar of 1200 pieces of artillery. The Austrians were defeated with the loss of 60,000 men, but they sold their blood dearly. History, apparently, has her favorite days; that is, there are certain days into which she is fond of crowding great events. If the expected battle has occurred, it but makes more noted a day already immortal in the annals of mankind. What will the Yankees do next if this army shall have been annihilated?

The facts about the capture of Fort Pillow. A correspondent of he Atlanta Appeal gives the, paper the following correct history of the facts connected with the capture of Fort Pillow. It gives the he to the Yankee stories of "brutal massacre," &c., which have been endorsed by a Federal Congressional investigating committee: Gen.
