The largest number of dead bodies still to be seen is at a place called San Martino, a strong position, where the Austrians had entrenched themselves during the night of Thursday." The correspondent of the " Times," at the Austrian head-quarters, writes : — " At present, painful as it must be for Austria to confess it, she cannot risk a general engagement ; and this is owing as much to the loss of confidence among the lower ranks of the army as to the diminution in numbers caused by the battle of Solferino. I should not be doing my duty as a truthful exponent of the situation here if I were to pass over this fact in Bilence. The soldiers had one moment of enthusiasm ; that was when the Emperor led them in person, on the 23rd, to the advanced positions from which he intended to attack the enemy; but the events of the 24th seriously affected the morale of the army. Instead of attacking, as they were led to expect, they had to repel the assaults of the allies, who, knowing what was before them, had halted for a meal at 2 o'clock in the morning. The Auftrians, whose baggage and cooking utjgnsils Accompany the columns even in the advance, bivouacked on the night of the 23rd, and were attacked before they could get their breakfast. The baggage and cooking carts were obliged to return to the rear out of the fire of the allies, and the result was that the army of the Kaiser had to fight on empty stomachs. Hunger and hard knocks have a tendency to discourage even the bravest soldier. I was astonished to see men from the field of Solferino retiring unwounded, and lying down exhausted when out of the reach of the enemy's fire. I am told that many so exhausted laid themselves down only to die. The mystery is explained when one con siders that these cases arose from want of ordinary sustenance. Tour own correspondent, who had nothing to eat for 24 hours, was very much exhausted when he reached Villa Franca; but he had not to fight on an empty stomach.
