THE SWEDES IN PRAGUE.

CHAPTER XVII.

| Great was the joy of the Swedes, end cf.

| all who were of their party, whon (everal | Wartemberg at lest arrived with a consider. (able reinforcement, to join Konizsmark in | the seige of Prague.

A council of war was

jin carrying a project, from which he, and | most of the field office's, promised then- | sel vee the sccowpl'shment of their «ishes— | the entire capture of the city. | Tho iohabiants otf Prague were now ob!iged to divide their attention, and to ivs ; c:@a-e their efforts, and the garrison had new duties to fulfil. To Wallenstein all this presented a new world. He bad jearnt bie military duties from the officers cf th» line, and taught them, i: turn, to his corps of students. His post on the brid sestower, kept him constant y employed, ard he soon | @cqvired that clear pere-psion of th'nzs which enabled him to penetrate. st a sinzle } glaves, the designs of the enemy, ani io | foresee the wants of h:s own party. Plachy evireed the game iniellivent ardor. heightened in its results by his superior |general experience. He wus the sou! of | the measures in progress, In fact, the | perilous situation of his country, and hatred | of its oppressors, had transformed for a wlile ) the pious divine iato a bold warvior —ths ‘calm ecientific speculator at the observatory, | into a vigorous undaunted chie'tian, | Meanwhile, to the inereasinz astonieh- | ment of the bereized, not a single snot wis fired from the Kleinscite; nay, it was even | poreeived thet the Swedes had ea ried off | 8gain eome of the cannon they bad originally | mounted on the hills opposite the Old | Town, | their strength and attacks upon the opposite side. Wurtemberz seemed resolved upon | taking the Neu-Thor (new gate) by storm; and the inhbabitante of Prague thought they perceived that both the artillery and troops, which had before beea particularly active on the Hradschin and Lorsenzberg, were now employed in the batteries of the Z’s'as berg.

General Con'i caused several lines of intrenchment to be formed i» succession be- hind each other. He ordered arms to be manufactured, acd the bolls to be melted into cannon shot; whilst Marshal Colleredo directed ali the soldiers that could be spared, including the corps of students, to piss over to the New Town. Thus Wallenctain

perform, and began to lorg for a share in the more active scene going on upon tho opposite side, where encounters daily ocs curred, and whera the gallant inhabitinis of Prague not only successfully repelled every attack of the enemy upon their gates, | but even attempted several sallies, to drive | the Swedes from their advantageous position | on the Ziskaberg.

One morning an orderly entered, and } apnounced to Captain Wallenstein the ar-

tival of a peasant from Gitschin, who had fortanately found his way through the Swed-

CORRESPONBEXCE.

To rae Eprror or tHe Examiner. Sir,—When an advocate of reform, either Church or State, aspires to direct public opinion in his capacity as a public journalist, and knowing that his utterances will be severely criticized by an enlightened community, it is to be expected he would refrain from making statements which, in a

zhort time afterwards, might compromise | his veracity as a truthful and witty expons |

ent of his party’s views. It is worthy of note to have recourse to some of the allega tions that were resorted to by the editor of the Herald, when the principles of the rail

way bill were being carried out, to prove that his former conclusions those he miserable party of whom he was the mouthpiece At

and of

were erroneous that

ime no species of slander was omitted, and | 10 assertions, however absurd and riticus }

lous, but were breathed forth most furious~

\dvocates of that measure. The leading

men who composed the Government were | denounced with the most unremitting fury, '

end designated by the above source as ewindlers, plunderers, robbers, &c. By this means the public excitement became intense and the Govern- iment was not only to have been driven ig- nominiously from power, but also compell-. |ed to refund thousands of pounds which | they had wrongfully expended or sppropri- | ated totheir own use. The New York ens gineers were brought here, at an expense to the Colony of over $7,000, to inspect the | work of Mr. Boyd and consign the Pope | Government to infamy, when the crooks of the railroad, spruce sleepers and wire fence would have been examined. But behold ithe result. The verdict of the engineers | was a complete endorsement of the views entertained by Vir. Pope's party in cons nection with the details of the railroad. A | faw weeks previous to the inauguration of | the Laird and Haythorne Government, the Herald and Patriot newspapers were poetic, and even romantic, in their denunciations against the public transgressors of the day. About the end of February, 1872, ald asserted, in its usual insolent style, that Mr. Pope's Government was about to be

irresistable,

consigned toa Limbo which would never |

| know a resurrection; and the Patrio! an- | nounced its intention to stop the railroad entirely. It needless to say that the course of events, in a short time afterward, gave the lie to proved what a very bad prophet was the seer of the Herald, hollow and worthless were the promises of the / atrio/. Hence, in due time, it became evident that those parties would gladly have eaten their words, when it turned out that the resist- ance to the railroad measure had been principally occasioned by ignorance of its nature and misrepresentation of its effects. In proportion, a8 it was more deliberately and fully investigated, the opposition to it

In fact, people are get- | ting quite sick and tired of the malicious

trash with which its readers haye been, for
