Foreign Intelligence. PEACE CONCLUDED. Peace has been concluded between France, Sar dinia, and Austria. There is to be an Italian Con federation under the honorary presidency of the Pope. Austria concedes Lonibardy to France and Napoleon gives it to Sardinia. Austria is to retain Venice. The Monitcur explains the circumstances which brought about the armistice, and says that the great neutral powers exchanged communications with the belligerents, offering their mediation, but were unsuccessful until the French fleet was about commencing hostilities against Venice, and a con flict before Verona was imminent. At this point. Louis Xapoleon, anxious to prevent further blood shed, ascertained the disposition of the Emperor of Austria, and finding him willing to agree to a Hiispension of hostilities, the armistice was con cluded. The two Emperors had an interview at Villa Franca. The London Times claims that England brought about the armistice; other authorities give the credit to Prussia. A Verona telegram saws that the armistice was ; concluded after repeated requests from the French, ! and after Austria had obtained all she asked tor. It is reported that Kossuth has proposed a mon archical government for Hungary. The following is the telegram from the Empe ror Napoleon to the Empress announcing peace: "VaLLEGIO, 11th. A treaty of peace has been signed between the Emperor of Austria and myself on the following basis : An Italian confederacy, to be under the honorary presidency of the Pope. The Emperor of Austria concedes his rights in Lombardj to the Emperor of the French, who transfers them to the King of Sardinia. The Em peror id' Austria preserves Venice, but she will form an integral part of the Italian confederation." The London Times aays that France spent fifty millions sterling and fifty thousand men only to give Milan a Piedmontese instead of an Austrian mas ter, and established the Pope in temporal dignity even beyond his imagination. Napoleon's game must be a very long one. The Loniion News says that the hopes of Italy nrc utterly deceived by this peace, and that histo ry will call Napoleon to a strict account for having made war under false pretences, that leaves Aus tria impregnably fortified in the heart of Northern Italy, and commits the central portion to the pat ronage of the Pope. The London Morning Post sa-s that the Pope is deprived of the substance, but keeps the shadow of supremacy. Napoleon was expected to reach Paris on the IKth, when lurther details will be afforded. In his address to his soldiers, he say that peace was concluded, because the content was about to assume proportions which were no longer in keeping with the interest which France had in the war. The Emj eror of Austria was on his way to Vienna. He says, in the orders of the day, that he yielded to his unfavorable political situation, because his natural allies did not, as was expected, come to his assistance. The Tn city of 1' ace Comments of the Press, C-c. The London Post contends that the soul of the treaty agreed upon between the alius arid Austria is the nationality guarantied under every variety of the government in confederation of the Italian States. The Emperor of Austria is to be King of Venetia solely as an internal member of the eon federation; he will rule less than three million Italians, and will be controlled by a confederation ruling not less than twenty-six millions. The Pope is shorn virtually of his temporary suprema cy; he is deprived of the substance, but keeps the shadow. The Times says that Venice must hope that her independence will not be a mere name; and that the influence of France and Austria united will not be more unbearable than that of Austria singly. The Romans must hope that the Italian confedera tion under the honorary presidency of the Pope will be nothing like any government they have hith erto known. The Papal Suites arc left as the were, but with a master somewhat greater than be fore; he is honorary president of the Italian con federation, and General Goyon holds the sword by bis side. The Kins of Naples is made a member of the confederation, and has to learn the worth of that ! honor and its import. Europe has to welcome a new power the tierman confederation older in dignity if not in time. England has nothing to do but to look on. Austria is somewhat humbled, j but relieved of a difficulty. Sardinia is aggran dised, with a province that mistrusts her and a neighbor that has earned an imperishable and in- j exhaustible claim to her gratitude. The Grand j Dukes, we suppose, arc once more to be reinstated I on their thrones. France has now the game in her own hands. She has Europe befbrj her. ! She can raise all Italy and half the Austrian Em- ' pire against those Genaans whom she has so often j beaten. The New York Sun does not think the terms of the treaty will satisfy the Italians. It says : It does not give them the liberty they hoped for, and consequently will not extinguish the revo- I lutionary element. Mazzini will now boast that he was right in distrusting Louis Napoleon as a ! champion of Italian liberty, and new troubles will ' spring front the popular disappointment. Perhaps all will rejoiee that the war is ended, but we doubt ! if Frenchmen will consider all the advantages gained worth the blood and treasure which they j cost. ADDITIONAL NEWS. AVe have some additional details of the foreign j news, from which it appears that much discontent i exists in Paris, because the Austiian rule has j not been entirely excluded from Italy. The treaty el peace gives Austria control over Venetia as far j as the Mincio. It is reported that Napoleon and Eugenia are j about to visit Vienna, and also that disaffection j exists between Napoleon and Victor Emanuel. It ' is considered doubtful whether Garibaldi will lay down his arms. It is reported that he is about to ieMM a proclamation. I'p to the declaration of peace five thousand men had been enrolled in the Hungarian legion. Letters from Rome state that the Pope had written Napoleon an autograph, an nouncing his determination to demand armed in- : tervention from the Catholic powers. The French fleets fitting out at Cherbourg and Brent had caused great anxiety in Englaud. The ministers had been specially questioned on the subject in Parliament. Agitation exists in Milan, Venetia and Florence, arising probably from the unsatisfactory terms of the peace. Crops. Our district is suffering dreadfully j from drought in some sections partial showers of rain have occasionally fallen, but we have not ' had a general season since the wet spell in May. The corn crop must, therefore, necessarily be a j very short one not better than the crop of '45. Cotton is holding on bravely the stalk is gene rally rather small for the time of year, but well fruited, and the yield of this our money staple may yet be an average, if the seasons from this ! time forward are propitious. Chester Standard. I THE WHEAT CROP OF THE U. STATES The Production of 1859. As it is interesting to wheat-growers, the deal ers in the article, aud to consumers generally, to know the amount that has been raised this year of this important staple, ( the crop having been gen erally harvested throughout the country,) we copy from the New York Courier the following care fully prepared tables, compared with that raised in 1858, which will be of service for present con sideration and for future reference: States. 1858 Bush. 1859 Bush. New York, 20,000,000 22,000,000 Pennsylvania, 20,000,000 25,000,000 N. C- and Virginia, 18,500,000 20.000,000 Kentucky, 8,500.000 11,000,000 Ohio, 22,000,000 20,000,000 Indiana, 13,000,000 17,000,000 Illinois 14,500,000 20,000,000 Other States, 42,000,000 60,000,000 Total, 185,500,000 201,000,000 The production of the Western States, which have the largest surplus for export, is shown by the following figures: States. 1858 Bush. 1859 Bush. Kentucky. 8,500,000 11,000,000 Ohio 22,000,000 20,000,000 Indiana, 13,000,000 17,000,000 Illinois, 14,500,000 20,000,000 Total, 5,000,000 74,000.000 The surplus for the present year in these States may be estimated as follows: Bush. Crop of 1859, 74,000,000 Consumption 5 bush, per head, 30,000,000 Surplus Crop 1859, 38,000,000 It is estimated that, in addition to this, from one-sixth to one-fifth of the surplus crop of 1858 is yet in the hands of the producers. We there fore have in the States, estimating last year's sur plus crop of the West at twenty -four millions of bushels, as the gross Bush. Surplus crop of 1859, 38,000,000 Sixteen two-third per cent, on 1858, 4,000,000 Total for export, 42,000,000 The transportation of this at forty cents per bushel, will give nearly seventeeu millions of dol lais to our canals and railroads. It will probably be thought by many, says the Courier, that the estimate of two hundred and one millions of bushels is a large one for the present wheat crop, but we think it is not. In 1855 the Patent Office returns gave the wheat crop at one hundred and sixty-five millions of bushels; and it is considered as not a large return for that year. In 1855, California was put dow n as producing only twenty thousand bushels; last year it pro duced over four millions; and this year probably five millions. In 1855 Kentucky produced only five millions of bushels; it now produces eleven millions. Tennessee has been, except for home consumption, a wheat-growing State only since the opening of the Memphis and Charleston Rail road; but now its wheat rai ks in quality second to that of no other State. The New England States have decreased in their production, but the West has increased four to one. The amount of land under wheat cultivation this year is thirty-three per cent, greater than in 1855 and the decrease per acre in the production cannot be greater. Wilmington lie raid. Two Slaves Hung Another Bmmed at the Stake. The following letter which we find in the St. Louis Democrat, gives the particulars of a hor rible affair, already mentioned by telegraph : Marshall, Sidine County, Mo., July 2. Some time ago, a r.egro murdered a gentleman name Hiiitou, near averly, in this county. He was caught, after a long search, and put in jail. Yes terday he was tried at this place and convicted of the crime, and sentenced to be hung. While the Sheriff was conveying him to prison he was set upon by the crowd, and taken from the officer. The mob then proceeded to the jail and took from thence two other negroes. One of them at tempted the iift of a citizen of this place, and the other had just committed an outrage upon a young white iirl. Alter the moo got the uesroes to- gethir. they roceeded to the outskirts ol the town and selected a proper dace, chained the negro who killed Hintou to a stake, got a quantity of dry wood, piled it arouud him, and set it on fire. Then commenced a scene which, for its sickening horrors, has never been witnessed in this or per haps any other place. '1 he negro was stripped to his waste, and bare footed. He looked the picture of despair but there was no sympathy felt for him at the moment. Presently the fire began to surge up in flames around him, and its effects were soon made visi ble in the futile attempts of the poor wretch to move his feet. As the flames gathered about his limbs and body he comu eueed the most frantic skricks and appeals for mercy for death for water! He seized his chains they were hot and burnt the fledi off his hand. He woul 1 drop them and catch at them again and again. Then he would repeat his cries, but. all to no purpose- In a fe moments he was a charred mass bones and flesh alike burnt into a powder. Many, very many of the spectators, who did not realized the lull horrors of the scene, until it was too late to change it, retired, disgusted and sick at the sight. The other negroes were tak(n and hung. They exhibited no remorse. One of them sim ply remarked "that he hoped before they hung him they would let him see the other burnt !" Heavy Decline is Grain. The following from the Chicago (111.) Press, in relation to specu lation in wheat, was written previous to the ar mistic between France and Austria: "At no period in the history of the grain trade of our city has the wheat crop undergone such sudden fluctuations a have occurred during the past eight or ten weeks; and in no previous year has there been as much money last on the same amount of wheat. On the 12th of April last stan dard spring wheat sold at 90 eents in store. Shortly after this date, the European war broke out, and breadstuff's all over the world advanced, so that on the 1st of May the above grade sold at $1 to $1 05 daily increasing till the 10th, when it reached SI 30. Since that date its course has been steadily and alarmingly downward. On the 1st of June it was 81 15; on the 1st of July 92 cents, and on the 10th it closed dull at 56 cents a decline of 74 cents per bushel in 02 days. At Milwaukie the decline has been equally as great. On the 16th of May last No. 1 spring sold at about SI 43, while on Saturday last it sold at 70 cents. This altogether outstrips the decline of 1857, which has hitherto been quoted as "the sudden decline." In that year standard spring wheat rose on the 3d of July to SI 40 f. o b., and fell to 50 cents, in store on the 24th of November following a heavier, but , more gradual fall. Most kinds of roots and bark are now used as medicines, except the cube root and the bark of a dog. WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHAELOTTE, PAINTING FROLIC AT A WEDDING. The Paris gossip of the Liverpool Journal contains the following story : "A certain young Irish beauty, engaged to a desirable young Englishman, went to the French capital on a visit to her aunt about five months ago; with her went her lover and her sister, and a gay season was enjoyed by all parties. As for the bride elect, she found a certain Polish prince who frequented her aunt's salon, so agreeable that she actually told her affianced bridegroom; and, what was astonishing, the bridegroom quite agreed, and thought so too. Some weeks passed on thus, the Polish prince became more and more delightful, the bridegroom more and more willing to own it, until one fine da', upon some bint thrown out by the Polish prince, the heroine informed her English lover that she did not think their marriage a desirable thing. Hie lover with wonderful alacrity, agreed with her, and, this engagement being broken off, he at once offered himself to the sister of his former financee, who readily accepted hitu. Everything was now going on smoothly, only the Polish prince did not propose as he was expected to do; however, the young Irish girl was strong in hope that, at the approaching marriage of her sister to her lover, the laggard man would say the necessary word. This wedding soon took place, and the fair girl as bridesmaid, leaned on the arm of the prince, who officiated as groomsman. "Coming out of the church, Polish prince sighed heavily, and turning his eyes upon the bridegroom, exclaimed as he pressed the bridesmaid's hand, locked that moment within his own, 'Poor fellow, how I pity him!' 'Why so'r' said the lovely bridesmaid, half offended. 'Why, for marrying. How can a man be such a fool ? I, for one, would never marry; if Venus herself, with 50,000 ducats in each pocket, were offered me.' A heavy mass fell upon his arm the bridesmaid had fainted, and he carried her back to the sacristy, wondering what on earth had taken possession of her just at the last moment, aud grinning horribly at the idea of this tardy remcniberance of the obligation of that conventional sensibility which bridesmaids are compelled to exhibit." Douglas' Lettek to the South. The New Orleans True Delta has an article upon Judge Douglas' letter to Mr Dorr, in which it says : " That letter, so admirable in tone, so honorable in sentiment, so creditable in its spirit, manliness ana Democratic independence, fell like an avalanche upon the plotting, scheming, trafficking politicians, while it elicited throughout the Union, North and South, a general outburst of approval. The yreat Illinois statesman does not intend any man shall be ignorant of his real sentiments upon vital questions; he will not blink principles nor lend himself to the construction of a swindling platform to gull the people into electing him President. He claims for the American people, whenever and however circumstanced, the full and absolute control of their own affairs; if they wish for slavery in their States or their Territories, well, be it so, let them have their way; if. on the contrary, their wishes and interests are in a different direction, and slavery is not desired, then let them be free; but, in every instance, let them be allowed to form their own opinions, conduct their own discussions, arrange their own differences, and shape their own institutions as they may see tit, without hindrance, coercion, or dictation from any extraneous quarter whatever. I)oulas has full faith in the intelligence, integrity and patriotism of his countrymen; he does not believe that they ate less fitted to govern themselves in small communities than in large, in the Territories of the Union than in the States; nor that the interference of Congress or the Federal Administration, in their proper business, can ever be beneficial to them so situated, or the national lame, of which thev arc constituents." Arsenic Eaters in Austria. In lower Austria and Styria it appears to be a common cus tom among the peasantry to consume every worn inLr a small portion of the deadly poison in the same manner as the eastern world consumes opium. Dr Tschudi, the well known traveler, published an noaount of several cases which had come to his I knowledge. The habit seems not to be so perni cious in its results as that of opium-eating. It is j commenced by taking a very small dose, say some what less than half a gram every morning, which is gradually increased to two or three grains. The case of a hale, old farmer is mentioned, whose morning whet of arsenic reached the large quanti ty of four grains. Arsenic-eaters grow fat and ruddy upon this dainty food. It strengthens the lungs, and relieves the head, whilst undergoing severe fatigue, and entering in a more rarified at mosphere. Extensive Arrival of Blacks from Canada. On Thursday morning, says the Cleveland (Ohio) Democrat, the packet Union arrived from Port Stanley, Canada, with sixteen fugitive s'aves, who had escaped from the South at various periods within the last two years, and who had been living at the negro settlement of Chatham, Canada West. Becoming weary of Canadian freedom which to many blacks embraces the exalted libcry of going inadequately clothed, and of being nearly starved to death they were about to return to the South, preferring plantation life to the responsibilities attendant on a state of existence for which circumstances have rendered them peculiarly disqualified. .

We learn that a fatal acc dent occurred on the Charlotte Bailroad, near Chester, on yesterday morning, which resulted in the death of Mr Joseph Jalico, a laborer on the road. It seems that a party of eight men in a hand car suddenly found themselves in proximity to an approaching dirt train, seven of them jumped off and thus saved themselves. The unfortunate victim of the accident remained on the hand car. A collision occurred, in which he had both thighs so crushed as to cause death. Drs. Pride and Babcock, of Chester, were called in to attend him. Deeming amputation necessary, they were on their way to Columbia for the purpose of performing the operation. The patient, however, died before they reached Winnsboro. Mr Jalico was an Irish man by birth. He has a brother who was a Watchman at the Charlotte Bailroad Depot in this place. Col. Carolinian, 27th nit. Dress and Debt at Saratoga. A letter from Saratoga, to the New York Post, has the following remarks : To a mere looker-on, Saratoga is an interesting pi ice. Fashion here displays itself in its wildest vagaries. The enormity of luggage required by the feminities is such that a Saratoga trunk has become a by-word. The wide piazas, &c, afford women an ample field for the most ambitious to display their whole wardrobe, and a sojourn here of a single day will convince even the most skeptical that the ladies are very dear in all that concerns the outward adornment of their persons; but to an observing man it is as good as a show to attend a drawing-room or a hop at the United States. It is a natural surprise to see so many richly dressed ladies, and one cannot but think that our American sovereigns will rival, not merely in face, but in outward adornment, the ladies belonging to the court of any crowned sovereign in Europe. It is true we do not witness such diamonds, but in laces and silks, &c, our fair country-women are regal in their expenses, and we may add, regal in their bankruptcies. Kansas Constitutional Convention It has been decided by a majority of the Conven tion, in favor of instructing the supreme judges to disregard the fugitive slave law. Provisiuns are made for the homestead law, embracing one hundred and sixty acres, and improvements not exceeding 2,000. It appears from the above that the Bepublicans are getting ready for a fresh agitation on the Kan sas question. If such a clause is inserted in the Constitution of Kansas, nobody can doubt that the object of it is to defeat its admission in the Union as a State, for that will certainly be the effect. There are enough nullifying States already in, without admitting any more. The Bepublicans will probably succeed in keeping Kansas out a year or two longer. They desire to do so in order to keep the Kansas issue alive until after the Presidential election. The admission of the State is to be made secondaiy to political ends. This movement is undoubtedly gotten up under the aus pices of politicians out of the Territory. Cincin nati Enquirer. Opposition Convention. The Opposition State Conventien of Georgia met at Macon, (Ja., on the 21st ult., and adopted a platform, but made no nomination lor Governor. The platform adopt ed is Southern rights, anti-squattcr-sovereignty, anti-agitation of the slavery question, anti-reckless extravagance of the national administration, and in favor of Congress protecting slave property in the Territories, and of a reduction of the State Legislature. Besolutions in favor of and opposed to the repeal of the federal laws against the African slave trade were offered and laid on the table. The Convention adjourned to meet in Atlanta on the 10th of August. Losses in Austrian and American Bat tles. The New York Herald observes that the losses in the battle of Solferino were relatively much smaller than of some American battles. In the battle of Solferino, 400,000 troops were en gaged fourteen hours. Total loss on both sides 29,375, or only about seven per cent, of the num bers engaged. At Bunker Hill, 43 per cent, of the whole were left on the field; at Chippewa, 21 per cent; at Buena Vista, 27 per cent, at Moline del Rev, the American loss was 23 per cent., the Mexicans in killed, wounded, and prisoners, about 33 per cent. If the two armies at Solferino had fought with the destructiveness of Chippewa their loss would have been 84,000 instead of 29,000; or, if the battle had been as bloody as Melino del Bey, their loss would have been 92,000. There has been nothing in the late battles in Europe to alarm anybody either in England or America with the military prowess of either French or Austrian?. The new fire-arms which were to prove so destructive, have turned out like the crusade for Italian independence, "great cry and little wool." If they have any peculiar merit, they can be used with more efficiency by a people accustomed to arms, and good marksmen from childhood. With the advantages of discipline, and proper attention to bayonet exercises, Americans will make the best soldiers of the world, combining the solidity of the English with the impetuosity of the French. 2ST. C. The Largest Harvest on RECORD.Tbe Philadelphia Ledger, a paper well informed, and certainly not given to exaggerated forms of speech, designates the wheat harvest of this year as "the largest wheat harvest probably that ever was produced on this earth." The season has been unusually early; the insects and the rust have not been able to extort from the farmers their usual fears and complaints, and with the exception of a sinde night of frost injuring the crop in a few C ,,. . . T 1 ' XT counties of Western Virginia, rennsyivania, ovm York, and Ohio, the ground sown in wheat has yielded most abundantly. There has been a greater i J ..i L-.e. f breadth of wheat laid out tnan ever ueiore; uum New York to Arkansas and Alabama, and from California through to the Atlantic, more land, by far, it is said, has been thus cultivated than at any former time. Whilst the extent and success of the wheat crop in the United States are unprecedented, the same is true of Canada, and in all the old countries of Europe the promise of the harvest at the last accounts was extraordinarily good. It is stated that within the last ten years, Ireland has multiplied the production of wheat amazingly, as has also France, under its more scientific modes of agriculture so much so, indeed, that within but a short period quite a quantity of the very finest wheat arrived in New York, which was readily sold at five cents per bushel more than our best, on account of its quality and cleanliness. Extraordinary Drought in Scotland. Accounts from Scotland state that the drought during May and part of June, was more severe than during any past year since 1828. The river Earn and 'Pay were nearly dry the famous Leon, immortalized by Burns, would slido through a gallon measure and other well known streams and rivers, were thoroughly dried up. In some places water was so scarce that in villages it was sold at five shillings per barrel, and many had to go miles for water for their cattle. The crops, notwith standing, are reported as looking excellent, and recent rains will no doubt advance them considera bly. Another Account of the Losses. The Vienna Gazette has published two lists of the loss of the Austrian Army at the battle of Solferino. In the first it gave 78 officers killed and 381 wounded; 1,355 rank and file killed, and 7,734 wounded, or in all 10,148 The second or supple mentary list gave a total of 11,213. This state ment which there is no reason to disbelieve, contrasts strangely, considering that the Austrians lost the battle, with the well ascertained fact that the loss of the Piedmontese on that day was 5,525, and of the French 12,720, or in all 18,245. It seems to confirm the impression produced that the Allies have little reason to congratulate themselves on a victory so dearly purchased. Later from California. St. Louis, July 25. The overland mail ar rived here to-day with California dates to the 1st. A fire at Oraville destroyed 20,000 worth of property. The heat had been intense, the mercury in some places indicated 118 in the shade. At Santa Bar bara, during a sirocco, it was 123. Political excitement was running high. The candidates were preparing to "stump" it. The difficulty between McKibben and Kaffroth had been adjusted. Broderick received but de clined a challenge from D. W. Perle. The Virginia Springs. There are said to be 500 visitors at the Montgomery White Sulphur, 200 at the Alleghany, 700 at the Old White, 40 at the Old Sweet, 50 at the Salt, 500 at Old Point, and 100 at the Yellow Springs.
