Waverly Novels for the ilillion. That enterprising firm of publishers, T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia has just begun an undertaking,-) which cannot fail to be beneficial to the whole reading community. We allude to I the edition of Sir Walter Scott's novels, now in .the course of publication by them, and which is to be completedin twenty-6ix volume?, at twenty-five sents a piece,! or five dollars for the whole. These volumes are printed in double column octavo, and each will contain about one hundred and twenty-five pages. The entire sett of twenty-six vol umes will be mailed free of postage, to any person remitting five dollars to the publishers. This is an opportunity, never before had, for obtaining the :Waverly Novels entire, at a price within the means of everybody ; for it is the cheapest edi tion ever published, and for those who re mit five dollars, and thus subscribe for. the series, secure each volume for less than twenty cents. The price of the E linburgh edition!, from which this edition is reprin ted, is seventy-two dollars.' Very, proper ly have Petersen & Brothers called this the "Edition for the Million," for they ought to get a million of subscribers to it, in this reading nation, and doubtless wiH. The Abbott, forming the sixth volume of their series of the Waverly Novels is pub lishsd this day. . &" The reduced terms, to enable our friends to make up clubs of new, subscrib es for the Banner, will be discontinued after the Fourth of July. So now is the time, friends, to join a club, secure the Banner for a year at reduced rates, pro mote the cause of your country against the unholy combination of Know-Nothings and Black Republicans, pay in advance, and save fifty cents by the operation.

A week or two since the Yatchman, contradicting .our assertion that tbe patri-! otic Old Line Whig's could do nothing1 else than to co-operate with the democrats instcad,of with the opposition, called upont u-t to publish the names of those Old Line Whig? to whom wo referred. This we de clined to do, because we , did not. feel at liberty to invade the sanctity of private life and "drag" before the public the names, qf gentlemen who, contenting them selves v?ith faithfully discharing their du ty to their country, seek no public applause, aod!fear not the denunciations of know nothivgism. To show that we were cor rectj w might fill our columns with the names of thousands of those patriotic Old Line .W higs who, scorniDg'the Black Re publican coalition, have determined that henceforth they will give a cordial support to the Democratic party in its last and final victorious contest with the combined . .

The Austrian Troops have marched into Sardinia; and the French are hastening to the aid of the httcr. All Eurote seems to be preparing to participate. It is said that Kossuth is moving to take advantage of any thing that may turn up favorable to Hungary. To enable our readers to judga of the feeling entertained by the parties at pres ent engaging-in the contest, we insert the following manifestoes of Austria, Sardinia and France : The Austrian Manifesto. The fol lowing is the manifesto issued by the Em peror of Austria against Sardinia : To my People: I have ordered my faithful and gallaut army to put a Ftop to the iuimical acts whieh, for a series of years, have been committed by the neigh boring State of Sardinia, against the indis putable rights of my crown, and ngainst, the integrity of tbe realm placed by God under my care ; which acts have lately at tained the very highest point. By so do ing I have fulfilled the painful but una voidable duty of a sovereign. My con science being at rest, I can Lxik up to an omnipotent God, nod' patiently await his award. Wit h coufi It'nce I Icve my de cision to the impartial judgment of con temporaneous and future generations. Of the approbation of my faithful subjects 1 am sure. More than ten years ago the same enemy violating international law an J the usages of war, and without any i.ffence being given entered tbe Lm bar-do-Venitiau territory with the intention of acquiring possession of it. Although the euemy was twice totally deleated by my gallant, aroiyj and at the mercy of the victor, I behaved generously, and proposed a reconciliation. I did not appropriate to myself oue inch of his territory. I en croached on no right which belongs to the crown of Sardinia, as one of the members oi tne European iamuy oi nations. I in sisted on no guarantees against ' the re currence of similar events. The band of peace which I, in all sincerity, extended, and which was taken, appeared to me to be a sufficient guarantee. The blood which my army shed for the honor and rights of Austria I sacrificed on the altar of peace. 1 The reward for such unexampled for bearance was an immediate continuation ot an enmity, wmcn increased irom year j to year, and perfidious agitation against the peace and welfare of my Lombardo- Vemtian kingdom, Well knowing what a precious boon peace was for my people and for Europe, I patiently bore with these new hostilities. My patience was not exhausted when the more extensive measures which I was forced to take, in consequence of the revolutionary agitation on the frontiers of my Italian provinces, and within the same, were made an excuse for a higher degree of hostility. Willing- ly accepting the well-meant mediation of friendly Powers for the maintenance of peace, I consented to become a party to a Congress of tbe five great Powers. The four points proposed by tne royal govern ment of Great Britain as a basis for the deliberations of the CoDgress were forwar ded to my Cabinet, and I accepted them, with the conditions which were calculated to bring about a true, sincere and durable 'peace. In the consciousness that no step on the part of my government could, even in tbe most remote degree, lead to a dis- tirbince ot tne peace, 1 demanded anded that of the com- the Power which was the cause .. - j i j , i i i i I plication and bad brought about the dan- j ger of war shouldj as a preliminary meas- ure, disarm. Being pressed thereto by: friendly Powers, I at length accepted the j proposal for a general disarmament. Thev': mediation failed in consequence of the un- j acceptableness of the conditions on which j Sardinia made her .consent dependent, Onlv one means of maintaining peace re-. mained. 1 address. d myself directly to J . -'. the Sardinian government, and summoned it to place its army on a peace foofipgand to disband the free corps. ; As Sardmia did not accede to my demand, the moment I for deeding the matter by an appeal to arms has, arrived. .' I have ordered my arm v to enter Sar- dinia. ... . -.: I am aware of the vast importance of i the measure, and if ever my duties as a ; m monarch weighed heavily on me it is at ' this moment. War is the scourge cf roan ! kind. 1 see with sorrow that the lives and property of thousands of my BubjeCts are imperilled, and deeply feel what a se- vere trial war is fof my realm which, be-' ing occupied , with its internal develop ment, greatly requires the continuance rf peace. But the heart of tke monarch must be silent at the command of honor and duty. On the frontiers is an arnie.d ; enemy, who, in alliance with the revolu- tionary party, openly 'announces his inten- don 'to obtain possession of the depen.en-'l cieo of Austria in Italy. To support bim, 1 the ruler over Frame who und . futi'e - pretexts, interferes in the legally r.s'aO- , limed relations of the Italian J en.tsuht has set his troops in movement. Detach meuts of them have already crossed the j frontiers of Sardinia. The crowu which I received without spot or blemish from my '.'-France can only behold with sorrow tue forefathers bas already seen trying times, i excitement which has seized upon some The glorious history of our country give9 j States of Germany. She docs not under evidence that Providence, when thee is a stand how that great country, ordinarily foreshadowing that the greatest good of i sq balox and so patriotically imbued v ith humanity is in dangerof being overthrown i in Europe, has frequently used the sword J iif Austria in order to dispel that shadow. We are again on the eve of such a period. The overthrow of the tbiogs that be is not only aimed at by factions, but by thrones. The original cannot be rendered literacy, but. its sense is, that the present revolu tionary movement is caused by monarcbs as well as by private individuals.1 The sword wbich I have' been forced to draw in sanctified, inasmuch' as it is a defense for. the honor and rights of all the people and States, and for all that is held most dear by humanity. r To you, my people, whose devotion to the hereditary reigning family may serve as a model for all the nations of the earth, I now address myself. In the. conflict which has commenced you will stand by me with your oft proved fidelity- and de votion. To your sons, whom I have taken into the ranks of the army, I, their com mander, send my martial greeting. With pride you may-regard them, for the eagle of. Austria will, with their support, soar high. , . Our struggle is a just one, and we be gin it with courage and confidence. We hope, however, that we' shall not stand alone in it.

The inanift f fo of the King of Sar dinia, hctetofure briefly mentioned by telegraph, is as follows : . . Soldiers ! Austria, which increases its army on our frontiers and threatens to in. vade oar territory," : because liberty Lt-re reigns with, order, because not force, buf concord and affection between people and sovereign her rule .t.he' State, because the cries of suffering or, oppressed Italy hero fiud a hearing, Austria djres to iutimato to us, arnied nly ia defense, thut we uyq to lay down our arms and put ourselves ia her power. The outrageous intimation called for a worthy reply. I have disdainfully rejec ts! it. Soldiers ! I announce this to yon, cer: tain that you will take to yourselves the outiage offered to your king to. tbe na tion. The announcement I give to you is the announcement of war. To arms, then soldiers. - You, will find yourselves opposed to no new enemy; but if be be brave and' disci plined, you do not ftar the meeting, and may boast of the days of Goito, of Pastren go, of Santa Lucia, of Somma Campagna, of Custosa itself, where only four brigades contended for three days with five corps d'armee I wilF'be your leader. On former i 6c cassions we bave known a great part of you-in the heat of combats ; and I,- fight ing by the side of my magnanimous father, admired your valor with pride. On the field of honor and of glory you. I am certain, wili know bow to preserve, a.nd also to increase, your fame as valiant soldiers. Yon will have for your companions those intrepid soldiers ot if ranee, conquer. ! rors in so many great battles, whose com radesyou were on the Tchcrnaya, .and whom Napoleon TIL, ever hastened hither where there js a just cau3e to defend and civilization to uphold, (da far prevalcrcj) generously sends to our aid in numerous bands. Advance, then, confident of victory, and adorn your banner with fresh laurels ; that banner which, with its three colons,' and with the chosen youth which, here as sembled from all parts of Italy, are gather-! j ed together beneath, points out to you that j you have for yourftask the independence i of Italy that just and holy enterprise which will be your war cry Victoe Emanuel. Turin, April 27, 1859. Declaration of Prance. Count Walew 6ki, -on behalf of the French government, has issued a declaration to its diplomatic representative, setting forth its efforts to prevent hostilities, and having failed, its duty is to Bupport Sardinia,, r ranee, since naif a century, hasnev ' er pretended to exercise an interested in- ! flnence in italy.'and it is not she, assured- , i e i - .a ly, who can be accused of having attimp- ted to arouse the remembrance of -ancient struggle and histoHcal rivalries. All that she has hitherto asked for, and treaties agree with her wishes, is that the States of the (Italian) Penisula shuuld live for themselves and manage their own affjirs at home, as well as in their foreign l'1 tions. I am not aware that a different ' ' t J . C a. view is tafeen at i.onaon, ueriin, or ot.
