ITALY..
- ITALIAN BRAVERY. ! AUSTIUANS' FOOLISH DEFENSIVE '. OTIBMUS. Received August 20, 5.5 p.m. Rome, Auguat 19. Officers relate that the enthusiasm of the Italians is unbounded. They go into battle as if going to a fete, and fighting with the bayonnl is their greatest delight. One killed thirty Austrian?, ami wad compelled to change his bayonet Jive times during a single attack. The deficiency of Austrian ammunition is apparent, and they are sparing in their artillery bombardment. The Italian fire is a tempest of iron and fire, blowing up rocks, trenches, and fortifications. The Austrian trenches at Carso and lsonzo are so constructed as to prevent either escape or mirvender, uteeulting in entire units being buried in the ruins. This inhuman and foolish defence lias resulted in colossal losses, and its con'tintiance will shortly involve the complete destruction of the Southern Austrian army.
