I The 11th was celebrated by the Abbeville Division Snn? nf il? tlieir first Anniversary. The day promised anything but pleasant, as rain Fell heavy 1 and frequent showers until about 10 o'clock, when the sky brightened, and with it the friends of the cause, and the old adage that a bad beginning makes agood ending" was literally fulfilled. At o'clock the Court House was well filled by a very respectable audirnce of ladies and gentlemen.

The Division was particularly favored with a large number of the former, who turned out in SI north A vvuuijr. XX guuu iiuiuutrr had come in from the counrry. and the Cokesbury and Lowndsville Divisions were represented, especially the latter showed their strength by their number. The Rev. Mr.

Turner, being requested by the Division, kindly opened 'ho proceedings of the day, with prayer. Then was sung the beautiful Temperance Song, "Speakers, Tell us of the Nioht." when vvnrp nrpconi.

Toasts then came and the day was unusually agreeaole; the ladies 4o judge from their approving looks seemed to pass tneir time very pleasantly, and at a late hour of the day the Temperance jubilee ended, with not a scene to mar its harmony of action, and its satisfactory progress throughout.

a meeting held of i the Troy House last Monday evening, to near statements respecting the progress in missions, Rev. Dr. Dvvight, recently from Constantinople, said, that the moral change in that city was truly wonderful. A dozen or fifteen years since, ho had not expected to see all religions protected hy the Sultan The enmity to pure Christianity, when he first went there, seemed universal, among a million of inhabitants. Since then, Germans, French, and En ns well as Americans, friendly to our Mission, had settled there; and these, as well as the Foreign Embassadors, bad favored correct sentiment, and allayed TurkThen, was unknown and prohibited.

Now the Mission had a flourishing Female Seminary, and there were eight or ten other female schools. Now, too, they had a seminary lor the Christian instruction of young men, who, in talents, standing, and prospects of influence, were equal to any in that country. They had also a church of about one hundred communicants, who seemed growing in piety, intelligence, and influcncc, among the people. And it was un inter- estinf IflCf. thnt ivlifnomp hmiinrki I 1 the Turkish Courts, us they hud been by persecutors, like Paul, by simple statements, they always made known and commended their religion to the judges, and to multi- tudes, who might not otherwise hear the Y.

Jour. Com. i Buiiying St. Louis Union of the 29th relates an occurrence oT a Mr. Schneider, living near the corner of Carondelet Avenue and Lafatte street, who came very near being buried alive.

It scums mui iYir. Schneider was seized with the cholera, and his friends presuming at a certain stage of the disease that he was dead, his body was at once transferred to coffin and hurried to the grave-yard. On reaching the cemetry last evening, and just as the coffin was on tho eve of being lowered into the ground, a knocking, was heard from the inside, which caused those 1 around the grave to remove the lid. Upon this being accomplished, Mr. Schneidcr was discovered to be nlive, and of course taken home.

It is said thnt he is in a fair way of recovering his health entire. This should act as a warning to persons not to be so rapid in committing the bodies of their friends to the gravo after death supposed to have intervened. YVe fear thai this is not the only instance of the kind that has transpired since the epidemic has been raging in our midst. The Cincinnati Commercial of the 13th ultM relates as The body of a victim of cliglera. was placed fn the vauij of one of our grave yards, remained about 24 hours, when in presence of friends and relatives it was taken out for burial.

Some of the relatives seSfe-SRQ? aWM va of the corpse was found to be hideously shroud lorn, and his fingers, which were between hia teeth, bitten and gnawed to the very bone I respect I ftia (rAm DA ujii bp ovrvaf vw uyiu hv? ouriufprmaiiou, is at least sufficient to give us reasoD to entertain a horrible yet doubtful suspicion."

The N.

York Tribune translates an account from the Kolnische Zeiuing, a very moderate paper, of the 21st of June, the very latest received from Germany. It says The news vve have to-day received from the scene of war is extremely favorable for the cause of the Mugyars. The great bat.1t.-r i.c wo uuiuru conjectured would take place on the 14ih or fiftoenih of June, near Flochstrnes, is now said to have come off at that very place and time. A number of letters have reached us from Vienna, and all agree as to the following "On the morning of June 14, there began along the whole line on the right bank of the Danube, frotp Wieselburg to the Lake of Neusiedl, a general batl'e between the armies of the Russians and Austriana there encamped, and the Magyars. The struggle was distinguished by unheard of fury on both sides, lasted sixty-four hours Without inlnrmnlin? IV1I, anu CIIUCU Willi me most complete defeat of the imperial armies.

Twenty-three thousand Austrians and Russians and eight thousand Hungarians lay dead on the battle-field. The imperial- isis lost their whole artillery, and turning in wild disarray, fled in the direction of Vienna, followed by the holly pursuing Magyar hussars. On the Hungarian side Anhur Gorgey and General Guyon commanded the imperial forces were led by Lt. Field Marshal Hayman and the Rnssiwhich just reached us from Vienna, and another letter just shown us from a great banking house of the same city, is almost verbatim to the same purport. Our regular Vienna correspondent, hs well as our correspond tut at Presburg, from both of whom we have received letters up to the 16th, give us no news whatever in relation to this important battle, except that on the 14th the continuous roar of cannon was heard in the direction of Raab, and that the report a great defeat of the Imperialists was circulating at Vienna.

YVe must. however, say in regard to this, llmt for some time past nil our letters from Presburg have been opened, and when they contained news unfavorable to the imperial causet suppressed. For this reason our correspondent writes with all possible caution, and for the most part forwards his by travellers, whereby they often da not reach, us until they have become old. According to the old and new details of intelligence which are before us, the 14th of June was fixed on as the day when operations should be opened on both sides. The plan of iho hnrt for como diiys to be by overwhelming attacks of cavalry on the two extreme wings, noar Oedenburg and compel the imperialist lo break up their centre, and in this they seem lo have been perfectly sue crssiul.
